Red Hot Talk.

This is the way Judge Owens goes
after his oppon ent's scalp:
breckenridge says he is no longer
the candidate; that manhood, woman
hood and Christianity are moving for
him. Ye gods! the devil quoting
Scripture. Sarah Cess star boarder
pra ding about womanhood and
Christianity! Could malignant eff
froltery go further? If this SANDER,
the vilest that human ingenuity or
devilish malignity can suggest, be not
demo need at the polls, then is indeed
manhood dead in Kentucky, and will
find its tittest funeral at the hands of
that snivell.ng hypocrite, who seeks
to embalm our civilization in his own
infamy.
@6ut why talk of Breckenridge?
Suppose should prove that last night
he robbed his best friend or commit
ted the crime for which we hang col
ored men in Kentucky, tomorrow he
would be the same penitent sinner,
dema ling your support. Brecken-
ridge tells you the Northern newspa-
pers are against him; but he forgets
to tell that all the Southern press are
also against him. The only daily pa
per i'll kentucky that supports him
is tne Louisville Commercial, and it
is Il Republican sheet.
Il have heard it said that in this
crucial test of battle, the cowardly
heart would sink in craven fear. But
let the history of to day forever ST.
lelce such detractors. The American
boo shed at the Alamo was Drawer
and better than that which sprinkled
the Spartan pass, but the men from
whose veins it flowed were lily -hvered
towards when compared with the
superb auClacity OF this man, who,
with fire-front covered with every
wound that dishonor's blade can
cave, cody confronts the people OF
this district and asks them to press
on Je more their crown of honor upon
his shameless bow"

The Happicst Nation on Earth.

1t is generally conceded that the
happiest people on earth, as whole,
are the French. They are happy be-
cause they are contented, and one con-
Spacious reason why they are content
ed ls 'ecause the great mass Of them
live in their own homes. Not more
tn IN 80 per cent OF the French people
rent the quarters they live in. They
are, indeed, the best sheltered people
in the world. Though there are only
33,UuU,OOU of them they have 9,OOO,OUO
dive ling houses. This, as will readily
be seen, provides a house for every
% persons, another conspicuous ex-
hibtIon of French thrift. In America
In 1870, there were 4.45 persons to
every dwelling, forty years before, or
in lojO, o.9l, Or merry six people to
every dwelling, and yet in France the
population is much more dense than
in this country There are on an aver q.
age l37 people to each square mile,
while in the United States there are
but 81, and in the North Atlantic
states only lO7 to the square mile. In
the United States. in 1890, only AIS
OF the farms and houses altogether
were owned by the occupants, and the
remaining 90 per cent being occupi.
Ell by tenants and those occupying the
same us rental. Of the homes in
American cities and villages 63.2 per
Get are rented houses Cincinnati

The Courageous Animal Tunnels Through

The following peculiar incident 10
told by Baltimore man % occurring
to his fox terrier: ''One day, while the
cellar door was open, the dog descended
In search Of rats, at about niue o'clock.
At half-past nine the dog was searched
for and thought lost. No further no.
tice was taken in the matter until the
next morning at eleven o'clock, when I
was attracted by . dog yelling. After
. careful search In the cellar, which re-
vealed only pile Of sand by the wall,
I noticed the dogs nose protruding
through an inch board at the top win
dow Of the cellar looking into the back
yard. went immediately upstairs and
removed five bricks from the pavement
and pulled the dog out. After care
full inspection discovered he had dug
under the foundation of the house In
the sand. which had csved In on him.
Finding no other means Of escape he
dug up to the surface, . distance Of
six feet, and on arriving at tho brick
surface, which had been recently paved,
dug toward the window, . distance Of
three feet, and had nearly eaten
through the board In his efforts to free
himself. He was nearly exhausted
when found, having been. twenty-siz
hours under ground. One eye was en-
tirely closed from sand, the other near

They Are - Rule Very Beautiful aad

There is one thing in Aries that you
will need no guides Of any kind to show
you. Imean, says q writer in Century,
the beauty Of its women, who are still
naive or wise enough to wear the lit
tie Arlesian cap and voluminous fchu.
OF course, they have always been
famous for loveliness all over the
world, yet nothing in other parts Of
the world will have helped you to i'm
agine them. The type is peculiar to
Provence-much more delicate than
Italian types, the very dark eyes and
hair contrasting with the whitest Of
skins; spirited and yet an extremely
poetic type, and so refined, 80 aristo-
cratic, that its charm is not lost in old
age. Nevertheless, not the type itself,
but the frequency Of its perfect presen-
tation is the most surprising, the most
delightful fact. Here an ugly woman,
commonplace-lookine girl, Is the ex-
