FRANKFORT, KY, June 4.-Congress-
man Breckenridge spoke here to-day to an
enthusiastic gathering of four thousand
people He arrived at 10 a. m. from Lex
ington, and was met at the depot by five
hundred people, who cheered him Justify
he got OF the train. The speaking was
billed to be at the courthouse, but when
the hour for the speech arrived it was
found that not one-third of the crowd could
get inside, and the meeting adjourned
to the Statehouse yard. where he spoke
from table. He was introduced by ex-
Mayor Taylor, and was received with such
applause that he could not commence his
speech for fifteen minutes. He spoke about
an hour and a half, and made one of the
most eloquent efforts OF his life. He did
not roast" his opponents as severely as
on other occasions This county has all
along been considered as Owenss strongest
point, but the reception to Breckenridge to-
day was certainly beyond expectations.

ridge for Congress in the Ashland district,
spoke here to-day to the largest audience
that ever attended a political meeting in
Paris. About four thousand people crowded
around the courthouse. special train from
Owens's home brought eight hundred
voters. Hundreds of women were present,
and they cheered most vigorously when
Mr.. Owens made his telling thrust at Col.
Breckinridge. His remarks were most
scathing, he charged the sitting men,
ber with disgracing and betraying every
relation of life. He said that Breckinridges
story, as told by his own tongue. is a story
of shame, Of infamy and of degradation
that makes at once the blackest and most
damning page in all the history of our
government. The audience cheered to the
echo.

The Washington times., 1894-04-01

Among the oldest of the forty students who
gathered on the opening day to attend the
winter school this same young man gave his
name to the middle-aged master us Arthur
Strong and his age as past seventeen.
Scarcely had he arranged his books in and
upon the desk in the back row, next to the
center aise preparatory to three months of
studious life, when the school-room door adj
mitted a girl. well mufiled against the cold
and snow by cloak and hood. which also par
italy hid her features. As she divested her
self of her wrappings at the usual place, with
her back turned to the school. Arthur with
some others was watching her with at least
the usual curiosity belonging to such an oc-
casion. What they soon saw turned TO them
in the garb and with the fresh look of a miss
of sixteen Arthur distinguished as the sprite
of the rainbow path and brief adventure of
more than a year before who advanced and
gave her name in a low voice, and was at
once assigned seat-so are events of interest
precipitated unconsciousIy at times-on the
''girls side" of the school, but next to Arthur.
not three feet away. He believed that she
did not recognize him in the first brief glance
she gave, steady as the passage of an eclipse,
and was rather pleased thereat.
Still the presence of this being stirred in
Arthur Strong vague disquiet. He felt that
they two must. without doubt, interfere with
each other by attraction or repulsion-there
could scarcely be neutrality; and occasionally
disturbed in mind he pursued his studies un-
til his fair and placid neighbor left her seat at
noon. Upon her desk she left textbook ly-
ing. which Arthur opened after little hesita-
ton, and read upon the fy-leaf name writ
ten not too prettily-Dora Bright.
During the first day classes were arranged
according to the proficiency of students and
the studies they were to pursue. The arrange
ment brought Dora and Arthur into an Inti-
mate companionship in recitations, particu-
larly in English grammar as taught at that
time from the textbook of one Weld. By way
of interesting classes formed of both sexes in

Celestial PhenOnn6na.
Written expressly for THE TINES by Almont
Barnesl

The first time he saw her he was on his
way home from the village. where he had
been for the weekly mail. He was driving
the old farm horse on an up-and-down trot,
and with ns little effort dreaming boyish
dreams. As he began the descent of the low
hill which would hide the village from him the
horse. pushed gently by the heavy wagon,
had yielded to the impetus and trotted from
pure laziness.
The dusty road stretched monotonously be-
upon it. But for once upon the footpath be-
side it there appeared something airy, brisk,
awakening, and accordingly the dreamer
awoke, rubbing his eyes. 1t seems almost
cynical to mention that what he observed
was only girl. unknown to him. She wore
a white frock, ruflled pantalettes, pink stock
ings, low shoes, and had well on the back or
her head summer hat, from which blue
pennants futtered.
From under this hat cataract of pale,
golden hair fell to the girls waist, and
sprayed upon the whiteness of her dress
where the trim waist ended and the swaying
wrinkles Of the short skirt began to make a
fall for themselves. The graceful illuminator
of a country roadside minced along daintily,
never looking back, yet conscious of being
which had been lightened at the village
school. As she moved gracefully along the
wind blew her hat rim aside and let it fall
back, coquettishly presenting to intermittent
view I'm oval cheek, delicately stained through
with peachy bloom. and as often played
with the flowing hair as freely us with the
silk of the corn in the field beyond the path.

Now is there anyone having fair amount
of human experience or intuition who does
not know that things do not go in this way
without masterful changes? The partly true
story of the century plant and its blooming
may be truer OF human life. What was Anna
thinking of when she arranged to keep those
hourishing plants in hothouse! Inc plants,
however, accepted the arrangement without
demur, and Arthur thought the keeper OF the
cons ervatory the most glorious and consider
ate of women But from the very confidence
which was evidently reposed in him he felt
that honor required that he should go no
farther than would be generally approved;
and therefore he kept himself in restraint to
an extent evidently not fully approved by
Dora-or was she so wholly inexperienced as
she seemed2

hair, touched his hand fieetingly upon occa-

son was n long time in understanding the
senrentious wisdom iilling these verbal ex-
plosions. but accepted them as paternai con-
sent. But what was by no means a matter of
course, and was most gratifying. was the
cordial welcome which from the first Arthur
received from the mistress OF the place he
visited, Anna Burbank.
.'Sam," as Mr.. Burbank was called usually,
to distinguish him from other Burbanks, was
hard headed, hard-working man. who de-
voted nearly every wakeful moment OF every
day to its property utilization and with much
success. While no one spoke of estrange-
ment on his part from his wife, it was diffi-
cult to detect signs of marital tenderness. 1t
might be supposed that business absorbed
him and that his wife acquieseed, not with
undue reluctance. Since moving TO his new
home he had busted himself and many others
in rather distant timber operations. Anna
was cheerfully quiet and attractive woman
on the hopeful side OF thirty. who found some
time to bestow upon excellent favorite authers,
English. Scotch. and American. Her house
was made attractive by her fine qualities, by
her children, by plants and flowers, and from
all these by an eminent homeliness.
The welcome which Anna gave the not
we'll polished country boy and the scheme oi
celestial study put him at ease in his inter-
course with Dora, and after the tracings out
of doors were finished, made usually from,
the porch and other convenient places, other

Was it because of the slowness to respond
of this possible class that the teacher added
to his attempted persuasions sublime quota

delivery, it is true, by nasal tone OF great
fervency? 1t was something perhaps older, if
less clear, than the words. ''When l consider

twinkle which telescope might have shown

in astronomy looked a moment into the
heaven of each others eyes and their lashes
fell. What light was there?

its efficiency, than did the two of this little
tale towards the knowledge of forms and
limits OF the consultations and the locations
and names of their principal stars. OF course

Perhaps there are those who still remem-
Der this romance of grammar read in early
days-this lyric of scholastic passion, tuned
to an infinite music which the humble coun-
try boy and girl as well as Launcelots and
Guineveres, may and must hear. This vo-
luptuous conjugation (yoking together) of
words contains such SAFE enticement as does
mixed bathing at seaside resorts. 1t is assert

bitter in .'iove thou" and ''let them lover
And all the vague emotion wrought by this
juggle with speech may settle after the lessons
are ended into delicious tropical calm of the
boundless infinitive s'to love-"
But is there not considerable responsibility
in setting an imaginative boy of IS and a
golden-haired girl of 16 to learning grammar
in a class by themselves in this way?
However, learning the sedative rules of
grammar might be trusted to allay any subtle
influence of the potent word upon susceptible
minds in many instances; and perhaps such
would have been the case in this instance had
the teacher not had an ambition of his own,
which took no account Of prudence. because,
in the elevation OF its aim, it never dreamed
of imprudence.
For finding two apt, bright pupils, whose
studies still left time for more. the pedagogue
urged upon them the study of astronomy.
He pointed out the elevating tendency of their

country boy that summer afternoon. and it
is probably safe to suppose that she knew it.
After the instructive recti1cation of attitude
and appearance usual TO either sex when an

impulse of the youth was communicated to
his horse by pull upon the reins. in obedi-
ence to which that animal suddenly stopped
trotting, and then began TO walk. with dis
tnct cessation of motion between the acts. as
when a woman drives. Seemingly the first
impulse of the girl was to run when she
heard wagon come over the hill, but she
only hastened her walk, to make it slower
again as she neared the road which led from
the highway up to n pleasant farmhouse.
And again she nonchalently swung her
basket
But it now seemed to the young man that if
he was TO obtain fair view of the features of
the interesting creature before him it might
be necessary to increase his speed; and so in
the quietest way, by prod in the ham with
the whipstock, he urged his noble horse to
renew his trot. 1t may be noticed that the
decreased pace on one hand and accelerated
motion on the other were due to entirely in
dependent mental operations. tending to the
same result.
