HARDIN'S VICTORY.
Ihe Rout of the Goldbugs of Ken
lucky Is Complete.

HUNTSVILLE. XIV. September Al. -(SpcciaD
h Le political situation in Kentucky has
fldcrgone such a change in the last two
~ eeks that there can be 10 longer any
ploubt of General Hardiu's carrying II by
X he old-time majority. The retirement of
Q Colonel Bradley from tee joint debates has
not only discouraged the republican heel
ors bat it has had the same effect upon
the press of Louisville, and the goldHuSs
throughout the state.
There never was any doubt as to what the
verdict of the people of Kentucky wor!i
be. The goldDugs of the state having JOS
session of the leading press and living IN
the cities were more easily heard iroin anu
were more noisy than their qiiet rural
brethren who were following the plow. but
were determined to vote for silver when the
harvest was gathered.
The Courier-Journal comes out every day
in a colorless sort Of manner, rot knowing
en- what side it should arrange itself. while
The AEzeii,er is IA doubt whether 1t should
have Eccr edited from the c1itorial ON
or from the business office. just nov these
newspapers have jumped into the repnbli-
can bramblc. ANA both are trying to cover
their retreat under the excitement Of The
presence of the Grand Army Of the Re
bubble The retirement Of Buckner from
the race for senate r leaves Senator Black
burn without opposition. The sw!ling cotn-
tenauce of Congress ufau MGtt!es;fY carries
with il no conviction. lie talks IN enc
place for free silver. and i'm another place
where the circumstances suit aim, for the
sin~le gold standard. and most generally
he talks for the kind OF policy widch would
cover the action OF these Who wish TO de-
ludc the people by false promises. Black
burns hcartiucss and pleasing manner APP
peal TO the average kcntuckian. and ne is
rowhcrc more at home than when addr' IS
ing the rural audierC@, no matter whether
/: is located in the obi TIansylVanian sec
ton or i'm the far western limits of the
jackson purchase.
The efforts To get Secretary Carlisle into
the race have been unavailinS, because mat
gentleman knows too we'll the temper OF
his late constituents. Ills Louisville friends
would sacrifice anything to get fer him the
Kentucky delegation to The next national
convention. II is for that reason that they
are ROW trying 80 crawl back INTO the lar
ty and some of them are making IN effort
10 get upon the stump ia favor Of ,ho dem
ocratic state ticket The pcopl" have these
men well marked. however. and 'hcy may
rely upon it that Secretary Carlisle VIII not
succeed Joe Blackburn in the senate, nor
get the Kentucky delegation to vote for
HIM for president in the next national CON
Yention.

IL seems that the Samoans have devel-

canoes. Instead Of cultlvating their land
they now waste their time travelling about

as thirty oars, and are between seventy
ana eighty feet long, while one is being
ouIlt on the island of Savaii 10 measure
lU feet IN length. Our consul mentions the
case or village owning two or three OF
these boats, for which they have doubtless
paid dearly, and where most OF the young
men are also owners of a weedy pony or
equally useless horse. The land on which
their village stands is mortgaged and is
advertised for sale. Yet. instead of max
ing any attempt 10 raise money To pay off

For Engraving on Glass.

A most ingeniously contrived machine
for engraving on glass. insuring the rapid
and economic production of decorative
work in that line as also I'm metal manu-
features Of every variety. is described I'm
the English Mechanic. Among the merits
claimed for this device is the fact OF
there being no limit to the number OF OBJ
Jects that may be operated upon simulta-
neously, with perfect uniformity OF
workmanship. and further, the facility
with which this machine. being Of twelve
multiplying power. can be operated upon
and replaced with fresh objects. Is anoth-
er important characteristic. and three diff
ferent patterns may be- produced in one
hour on q single machine. The construc-
ton OF this apparatus fuldlls the desidera-
tum ~ great simplicity. II would appear:
that Is. thu globes, or whatever Is TO be
engraved are fixed on platforms IN two
