Our County Pnor Hnnse

An eye witness states to us that our county poor house is nothing more nor less than a retreat of pol luti0n, disease and death, and that the stench that is daily and hourly arising from that cesspool of filth and corruption smells to hell. not heaven.
 The black hole of Calcutta was the "Peri's Paradise" when com pared with the disease-breeding aims house within our eitys limits. Among the inmates there is crazy man with no clothes to cover his per son and in his nakedness he lies in his room wallowing in filth and steneh,
 The poor house is not aa insane asylum and this man should he re moved. There is there, also. an old Confederate soldier, man who at one time barred his noble breast to the hot breath'of the cannon for the sake of the country he loved, and now he is stranger in the land, for gotton and in want. We wonder if he thinks his country loves him as he loved her. This man should be sent to the Soldiers Home. Above all this there is an old white woman there. aged eighty odd years, who is slowly, but surely dying, and her cries and groans in her great suffer ing are most pitiable.
 Something must be done. Such d condition of affairs is high handed shame. To the ministers of the gos- pei. 10 the ladies of the city. we ap- peal to you to look after these pool unfortunants. 1t seems that the county is too poor to proyidefn further for their wants.

Ii was the understand ing of every member of the convcn- tion last year, when MT. Burnham was chosen for the highest office which it could bestow, that he would be given second term, pe- cause his predecessors Eenerally served for two years, if they eX- pressed q desire to do SO. Before his first was half over, however, Mr. Burnham announced that he would not be a candidate for reelection
 This statement was accepted as con elusive. Later he changed his mind and nowthe opponent who thought he meant it refuses to leave the field

 NEW YORK. June LA morning paper has the following special:
 WAsInNGToS. D. C.. June 3.-Gol- enel isreekinridge is to be pulled out of he t'ongressionalracein Kentucky if the family hearing that distin- guished name can do it.
 Cabell Brcckinridge. a son of the Confederate Secretary of War, Gen eral John C. Breckinridge, left his home in New orleans to unite with other members Of the family in fore ing the Colonel into retirement CabeH visited Kentucky first and then came to Washington to consult friends Of the family here He holds that colonel Breekinridge is crazy or at leaat near enough crazy to need some sort of restraint or guidance The members of the family are in constant dread lest he bring further disgrace upon their name.
 They have learned of an incident of recent occurrence which increases this apprehension, A handsome ladF. finely dressed, was admiring q painting displayed in the window of a Washington establishment. Col onel Breckinridge observed her and the object of her attention He ad- vanced to the window and broke forth in rapturuus eulogy of the painting Suddenly turning to the lady he begged pardon, saying he had been so carried away with the lovely picture that he was not con- seious of speaking aloud; but, Madam, he added, you are tenfold more beautiful than the picture. ''
 The lady hurried away, but the incident reached the ears of friends of the Breckinlidge family. They are determined to get the Colonel out of the race if possible and into some sort of retirement that will take him out of the public mind. For the sake of the family they want him to seek such 0bscurity as will cause the public to forget him anl the scandal he has created. The friends of Mr. Owens, the rival of Breckiuridge, will be approached with a proposal to withdraw both men and unite upon candidate forCongress who can command the support of all the l Democrats of he district.
