Representative W. Godfrey Hunter, of
Kentucky, left for Canton last evening, in
response to sudden summons from Presi-
ueilt-eiect Mckinley. 1t is believed by
some OF bis Republican colleagues from
the Blue Grass STATE that he goes to dis
cuss the possible presence in the Cabinet
of some Kentuckan, and the incidental
settling Of the Senatorial controversy. Mr..
Hunter Will undoubtedly be MAJOR Nc
Kiniey's right hand man in Kentucky. 1t
was largely through his efforts that the
Kentucky delegation to st. Louis was for
Mckinley instead Of GOV. Bradley.
The probable declination of Judge Goff,
OF West Virginia. seems to leave the South
ern representation in the Cabinet in very
unsettled condition The most prominent
candidates now under discussion are James
A. Gary, Of Maryland, ana John w. Yerkes,
OF Kentucky. It is believed by some we'll

said, to recognize Kentucky, which was
one OF the bitterest battle grounds of the
campaign. The State has not had Re
publican Cabinet officer since Benjamin
II. BristDw was in Grants last Cabinet.
Major Mckinley is said TO very earnestly
desire to have a Republican senator
elected from Kentucky. If a vacancy tx
lists from that State the chances If The
passage Of tariff Till are regarded as
very dubious. But 1t is believed that with
u Republican Senator from Kentucky and
the casting vote Of Mr. Hobart the new
Dingley Lii can be passed and be the
legislative act on which the success OF
the new administration Will mainly rest.
1t is therefore. extremely probable that

A Legend of Ossian.

An amusing story intended to fitting

down among the Irish pcasnntry, though
IT is to be feared that the old chroni-
rlcrs have cmbcllishrd It with some OF
their native humor, says p. j. Lynch in
Donahocs for September 1t is told
that after ST. Patrick had succeeded in
converting OSsian he granted him a Wis
ion of hell, and there the old warrior
saw the Fcnian hosts, led by Coll Me-
Norma. engaged in fierce conflict with Il
legion of devils. Coll was armed with
a big fail, with which he did trcmcn-
dnns execution among the licnds. The
land for thrcsling grain. II consists
Of two sticks, one of which swings from
tn" other by means Of Il tug or hinge,
usually consisting of a piece Of rawllihc
which runs in a groove cut in the end
of one of the sticks. OsSian saw ,ha,
the FcniHns were always able to bt at
back the devils into Il corner bat over
when victory seemed assured the tug
of Coils fail would break. and then the
Fcnians would be driven back until the
fail was mcndcd again.
Now, Ossian," said the saint, ANY
one request you will make ] Will grant. y
expecting of course that he would ask
for the release of his friends. But the
old warrior was filled with the spirit
of battle. This was as glorious a fight
as he had seen the Fcnans make on
earth, and he promptly answered: 20,
Patrick, all ask of God is that he will
give Coll tug Of iron for his lIail, so
that It will never break again.

DR.. Cousins testified that when he got
the child for the Shedleys in his opinion
it was perfectly we'll. He said about

the infant. Here is where the reason
comes in that the Shedleys furnish for
not paying DR.. Cousins's bill for attend

that Immediately after their taking the
infant the child cried and worried so that
they wanted the child taken away, but
