A Day Dream.

Ger the earth in silent spiendor
Slowly falls the crystal snow,
There TO lie as her defender
From the frost, her willy foe,
Now it's gently. softly sailing,
Der each meadow, grove and stream,
And our hearts at natures calling,
Indulge i'm a fond day dream.
Earth resplendent with her SECOND
Sends a thrill through every heart;
Bounteous nature all has beckoned
To a land where griefs depart;
Now We see a scene elysian
Spread before our wondering eyes,
Now We see as IN q vision
Lands where pleasure never dies.
In that land where bliss Ger reigneth,
None are ever known TO PRIME;
Naueht our happy hearts Ger paineth
Through the rounds OF endless time;
There eternal spring abideth'
JOYS enhancing never cease;
He who I'm that land resideth
Fills our souls with perfect peace

Cincinnati, O., Oct. ia special %
the Times-Star from Lexington, KY,
says: II is stated here today on what
seems to be reliable information that
State Senator Bronstcn and john D.
Carroll, fex-chairman OF the Democratic
central committee, are on the verge OF
a duel.
The trouble grew out Of the late
Frankfort convention. when Carroll
caused Bronston's defeat by throwing
his strength to Evan Settle Of Owen
county. It seems that BRONSON had
counted on Carroll to nominate him
and was made when his opponent wae
benefited by the withdrawal Of the
Henry county man.
The report says that Bronstcn cursed
Carroll roundly and that Carroll coolly
told him to think over the after and
apologize for the remarks. BRONSON
proposed TO settle them IN a personal
encounter but Carroll refused and told
him that he should have tine in which
to take back his Objectionable Ian
guege. Letters have passed between
them, but II is stated by those close to
B0ons,be0 that he does not intend to
retract what he said and they see no
way out Of the trouble except IN accord
ance with the code adopted in settling
such grievances. Both are brave men
and Il the fed IS resorted to as the only
way OF settling the matter II il believed
that each will face his foe gamefy.
