Oh. yes. we remember OF promising to
write OF our visit 10 Chicago last summer.
but since such long time has elapsed we
fear some would rather have us drop that
famous white city of the past. Therefore
we will endeavor not to say much. yet we
like to hear the Philadelphia institution of
1876 discussed, and hear our friends tell Of
the pleasant journeys they mace 10 and
from the quaker city. 1t a beautiful

enjoyed the sights Of the white city very

Some one asked me if we saw any COM

anything we did not think interesting.
Yes, we did. an6. indeed that caused trouble
IN our usually quiet quartet. Some Of us

AN EDITOR BACKS DOWN.
Breclxinridge's Opponent Boards the
"BIue Grass Blade"

LEXINGTON, KY, May 31.-A most
sensational and exciting scene took place
today in the editorial room Of Charles
c. Moore. editor of the Bluegrass Blade
There were present W. c. Owens. candi-
date for congress against Breckenridge;
C. c. Moore. zen. W. II. Gentry and J.
Walter Leake, a friend of Mr.. Owens,
and correspondent of the Louisville
Post
Owens said TO Moore:
Il have come to see you about the
lying. scurrilous letter which 1 under
stand you have received from Jets sta
ton. postmarxed Georgetown. in which
my character is attacked in a most
shameful manner. You say you believe
the letter to be a forgery. and yet you
will print It this afternoon in the Blade.
have this to say: We have both been
men Of peace and I have tried to, do
right, but If you publish that letter we
will be so no longer, and you must stand
the consequences. If published it will
reflect seriously on the ladies of Frank
fort, and will besides, be sent to my
mother and sisters. That I cannot and
will not stand. What I have to say to

DO not want you 10 defend me, and will
not have that letter published and
scattered broadcast when I have already
denounced everything in it, any anyone
who circulates il is liar and a
sooundrel."
Moore began to explain that he was
doing this to defend Owens, but Owens
shut him off, saying that he did not want
to be defended by Moore. Then Moore
asked to be allowed to read the letter.
which he did. The letter is dated Jets.
KY, May p. Moore had headed it:
How Bill Owens Is Everlastingly
Ruined" The letter makes grave
charges against Owens of immortality
and gambling and is signed L. Crutcher.
The postmark of the letter is George
town and the postmaster Of that place
had just come in to say that the post
mark stamp was a forgery. Moore then
backed down and said If Owens wished
it he would not publish the letter. To
this Owens replied that he would say
nothing, but the letter had better not be
published. Moore then agreed not to
print it. Moore kept the original. al
though Owens asked him for it and said
he thought he knew where 1t came from
1t Is thought that Moore would have been
killed if ne had not backed down.

Scorns His Opponents.

LEXINGTON, Ky, June Col
Breckenridge had an audience Of about
six hundred persons, of whom tweny
were ladies, at Midway today. He spoke
for an hour and twenty minutes and
scored his ,opponets. In referring to his
chief opponent. William c. Owens. he
said that Mr. Owens could go back TO
his gambling in Louisville and Chicago
after the primary: that Owens was never
in the race. and If he (Breckinridge) was
dead or removed from the district 1t
would be just the same TO Owens, since
he was never at any time between
Owens and congress.
He replied to Judge George Kinkead,
who made such a strong speech against
him at Versailles yesterday. but when
referring to the address Of the Rev. John
r. Deering. who was his old war COM
rade. he admitted that the Rev. Mr.
behring's words had hurt him worse
than anything that had been said against
him. If their places could be changed,
the colonel declared, he would not speak
of Deering as Deering had spoken of
him. He said that the suffering his old
comrades words had caused him could
not be paid for by a lifetime in con-
gress.
He also excoriated Prof. McGarvey,
who has been so bitter against him.
After Brecklnrldge nnlShed Evan Settle,
his other opponent took the stand when
nearly fifty ladies marched into the hall
and were given seats by the men who
had occupied them. Then Col. Breckin-
ridge and nearly all of his followers left
the house and Settle finished his speech
TO the ladies and Owens men who came
in after Breckenridge finished.
There is great bitterness over the af
fsk at Midway, the people of that place
being about evenly divided as to Brock
inridge. He will speak at Frankfort
Monday and Settle at Newcastle.

Lydia z. PinkLGn,'s Vegetable Com
pound went to the root of her trouble, and
gave her the liberty of health, so that after
taking two bottles she was able to 90 out
of doors and surprise her husband and
friends by her rapid improvement.
She says: "Women should beware Of
dizziness, sudden faintness, backache, ex-
IRENE lassitude and depression. They ara
danger signals of female weakness, or

the result is worth millions. Ask some

BoucicauIt on Pronunciation.

BOucicault complained bitterly OF the
way the majority of English actors pro
nOunced the word war" "Ye pronounce
the ward If it wuz spelled Waugh, -
said the lecturer gravely. Eye don't pre-
nounce II at all as We shud The ward
rhymes with par are and 'kyar,' and
yet We will pronounce it as if it rhymed
with saw and paw Don't We see The
diffurence?' we do; we dor' cried the
audience. and thus encouraged by the
ready acquiescence in his pet theories the
lecturer went on to deal with the gross
absurdity of pronouncing the word
grass not to rhyme with lass which
of course, was the correct way, but al
most-nOt quite-as If 1t rhymed with
laws
''The ward is grass not 'graws,' !"
