Plurality of Five Thoussnd

in the state, these figures being the es-
innate made by the nominee himself.
At Republican headquarters in this
city Taylor's plurality is placed at 5000.
In neither case is it possible to get the
figures upon which the claim is based,
each side evidently fearing to give pub
licity to the reports Of its agents. In a
speech at Frankfort Senator Goebel, the
Democratic candidate, said:
II believe I have been elected, in fact,
I know have. see my friend Gen.
eral Taylor says he will assume the Of
fee of governor. All desire to say is
that if I have been elected, as I believe
/ have, will be inaugurated IN spite of
tho Louisville and Nashville railroad
and Bradley bayonets."
Returns received by The Courier
Journal give Goebel a plurality of 2,V1V
votes.

You'll he all right in day or &c."

The wild turkey in the Ozarks is now
hunted with q slow-tracking dog, and
whole focks are often killed in this
way. Till the trained dog was en-
ployed to follow up the wary bird this
game fowl could battle the most skill
full hunter. Now when a flock of tur-
keys is found the sportsman has little
difficulty. A good dog will follow g
turkey track that is three or four hours
old and set the birds when overtaken,
just as the pointer does the quail. After
the turkey has been chased awhile 1t
hides in a tree or under log, and stays
there until the hunter, guided by his
dog comes within close range. 1t is as
tonishing what fine instinct a good
turkey dog will develop after q few
months of training in the woods. He
will follow a flock of turkeys for hours
just ahead of the hunter, and indicate
by unmistakable signs when the game
is near. After turkey has received a
fatal shot 1t may fly half mile or more.
A trained dog will go straight to a
wounded or dead turkey with the same
percision with which he tracks the
game.-Chicago Record.
Runts and Weaklings Among Fishes
Among the red snappers from Ber-
muda, now in their second winter here
in one of the tanks of the aquarium
there is one, the weakling Of the hock
that has not grown any since 1t was put
into the tank. 1t was long ago expected
to give up and die, but it shows no signs
of doing that yet. Though 1t doesn't
grow, as the others have done, and
though it is slower in its movements
yet it has fair appetite, and 1t holds
its own, always about the same. There
are runts and weaklings among fishes
just as there are among other animals
and they may be as tenacious of life
as their more favored brothers, but the
big and vigorous are better able to pro
vide themselves with food, and as rule
they live longer.-N. Y. Sun.
