every pure-mindetl Democrat in the
district is that Breckenridge be defeat
ed, it matters not by whom. Mr.. Ow-
ems seems to be the nearest realization
of this wish, as he scores his gray
headed opponent on all occasions and
tells the voter why he should NOT vote
for Breckinridge rather than why he
MOULD vote for Owens. Mr.. Settle is
more conservative. He playfully
crosses swords with both opponents for
few friendly rounds and then devotes
his time and energy in trying to prove
that Settle is the man for the place.
Mr.. Owens has the supreme advan-
tage of having all the good women of
the district onshis side, and while the
women of Kentucky are net allowed.to
vote, who wouid dare to say that they
have no influence in political questions
which, in this instance, are also social
questions? Even if Mr.. Owens has noe
complimented the sex by taking one of
their numder for life companion, nei-
ther has he by word or action SAID or
done anything to degrade the name of
woman and he is blessed with the love
aud confidence of widowed mother
and the devotion of fatherless sisters.
'Mr. Breckimidge, notwithstanding
his record, will receive many votes from
many different kinds of people for ma
ny, many reasons, Some will support
him becalse he makes them believe
his official experience of the past is
necessary tor the future, AMI that he
only possesses the ability to properly
represent them. There are others who
will vote tor HIM through sympathy;
in their kindness of heart they cannot
refrain from extending a helping hand
to the sinking, drowning man. There
are still others who will support him
because they are truly his friends.
They are willing to forgive his every
fault, to blot out of remembrance all
that has been SO hideously wrong in
his life and to be tue same friends now
as always; but there is not a man in
the whole district who will vote for Mr..
Breckinridge because they think him

this man.
But to return to the speaking. On
ednesday of this same week Mr.. Ow-
ems came over to Lexington, the home
of the Breckenridge family for genera
tons past, and he, too, was to make
speech and gain some votes. His
friends wished him to make a good

A city without a Woman.

Maiwatchin. in Mongolia, close to the
borders of Russian Siberia. is the only
CITY in the world peopled by men only,
saws writer in the Chicago Tribune.
The Chinese women are not only for-
hidden to leave this territory. but even
to pass the great wall OF Kalkan and
enter into Mongolia. All the Chinese or
this border city are exclusively traders,
and they accumulate money. till their
has created a sufficient fortune to enable
them to return to their native cities and
live there in ease with their families.
Their dwellings indicate their prosperity.
They are separated from the street by
a clay wall, rather ugly, it is true, but
surrounding generally very elegant
looking house, before which are gambol-
ing those sleek-looking, plump cues, with
unusually big eyes, such as are pretty
faithfully represented on Chinese vases
and screens. The main part of the
houses of Maiwatchin is divided into two
compartments, and that which Is behind
is raised. Fires are kept up under this
great platform, which Is covered with
beds by night. Opposite the door niche
is generally seen where the domestic
idols, unaccustomed to attitudinize TO
profane eyes, repose behind an ornamen-
tai blind The walls of the reception
room are lacquered in red or black, and
sometimes covered with figured silk, ac-
cording to the wealth and taste OF the
owner The apartment overlooking the
court is generally OF light wood, perfora-
ted and carved, and over these openings
colored paper is stretched, producing
the graceful effect of stained glass. The
idol temples are gorgeous buildings.
