In the opening speech ofhil
campaign in Lexington, ky.
!, Col. Breckinrillge s h q we {
himself strangely o5tuse il
regard to the foundation
principles OF morality ant
virtue. He told his hearers
that he did not ask Tor vindi
cation. and that ra, her thar
. ask or ac'"pt a vote looking
ito That end he would moi
stand for re-eiection; woulc
not accept their votes anf
would not live IN their midst
This is all very we'll as show.
ing that The colonel is IL man
OF honor, but from IL man
who has so long and 80 per.
sistpntly outraged every
sense Of honorand of decency
it comes with a very bad
grace, to say the least OF it.
When a man has committed
the worst crime that it il.
possible for q man to com
:nit-fnr we know of no crima
greater than the destruction
of a home and the severance
OF all the marital ties-it i'll
becomes him t) say there are
any parts Of william too low
for HIM to act.
He goes on to ask the for
giveness Of his hearers. For
giveness for what? For hav.
ing had unholy relations
with Madge Pollard? That
was perhaps all Breckenridge
had in nina, and in The
depths of his soul he has
perhaps never realized that
he had committed any great
sin. In his eyes unfaithful-
ness to his wife counts for
nothing, his sin concerned
only himself and Madge, and
by way OF vindication de-
clures that he never had any
intention OF marrying the
poor girl.
He would have scorned,
he SAYS, to do anything SO
i2noble. But the virtuous
reader will naturally enquire
what right has Breckenridge
now to scornanything unless
it be his own stlf. But to
scorn himself for his sin, to
repent in sack-cloth and
ashes, is very far from his
intention, and when he rolls
his eyes to heaven for justi-
flea ton, it is with n full be-
lief that he has already more
than atOned for his sin.
He declares that he aill
never forgive the newspaper
men and ministers who have
mlsrepresented him. While
it is possible that neither the
press nor the pulpit care a
continental whether he for
gives them or not, ii is inter-
#esting to enquire in what
way they have lnisre2resent-
ed him. Why, in attempt
ing to show that he at one
time intended to m AIRY
Madge. That is the sting
that more than anything else
maddens this old goat; that
his fellowmen, those whose
high regard he had so great
-ly valued, should conceive
thathe even fell so low as to-
think for a moment that he
could marry Madge Pollard.
That the whole world should
believe that he had lied to
the girl, that he had lied to.
his wife, that he had lied to.

 And so every town and village ought to have so much better and more attract i've associations for all conditions of so- cial life that saloons and all places of evil communications will cease because nobody needs them nor wants them.
 In every. eommunity there should be a suitable public building devoted to the recreation of the people, and open to all underproper regulations. It should have an evening school for those who need it {; manual training shop for boys and girls who wish to learn some trade; a Ii braryDand reading room for all; a lec- ture hall for general use; and games and amusemehts and gymnasium to meet the common demand. And all this could easily be done by the ready cooperation of the, people themselves at a small ex- penseto each individual.-[O o. Wright

INTERESTING AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
 There are probably few men now liv- ing in this section who have kept as faith- ful and complete a journal of their daily experiences, as has the Hon Samuel l.. Bloss of this town, now in his 74th year. Mir Bloss first began keeping journal in an old almanac, jotting down inter esting events in his home life. This was more than 45 years ago, and he has kept the practice up, faithfully, From an al
 manac he came to use small account book. This grew to more elaborate hooks and now he has nicely bound books to record7 the events as they come along. To give better idea, perhaps of his plan, we give the inscription in one of his journals of an early date: "'rhe object of this sjournal ais to assist the memory, to record the daily events of Ilife, to note the absence and return of Ethe author, the arrival and departure of guests, and of all who may feel disposed ed to favor the present incumbent with calls. Yours Very Respectfully.-[S [Sa4- uel L. Bloss." The writer, who was il- yted to inspect the Journals, sobserveh that the home events were intersperseH with the impor raant happenia ags ilIs the outside world.

In another lace he gave lin full the resul1o of the presidential eled- 1tionof 1892. Mir BIoss has paid particu- l lar attention to the weather. AS mat : lter of curiosity reference was made tp March 8, 1853, to see what the condition of the, weather was at that time. The answer was ''Clear and pleasant.'' Oh March s. 1857, the weather was clear and cold. On March s, 1864, clear and cold. |. On the same day in 1866, cloudy and cola and very clustering and one year later the record stood "Clear and very pleas ant" On March s, '73, we have this change ssClear and pleasant, elouded u D and rained little and then clea ed of. r One year later this is the record, Chilly and damp, trees heavily loaded with ice. I The journals are written in clear hand and MT Bioss takes pride in keeping
 
 them. On his farm Mir Bloss has what is said by fruit men to be the largesl grape vine. ill Connections. At the ground the vine is 2l inches around. Il covers a frame work, 16x26, and has alst taken possession of two, apple trees ant a maple. It bears a sweet. grape. Mi Bloss has always taken keen interes in political affairs, being. honored by tflt democratic party with the 'senateri4 nomination from the old 10th district il 1875. He was elected. He also servet in the lower House in 1860. Mir Bios
 was commissioned a notary public bN Gov Jewell, and has held the office Q justice of the peace.
