 There is a place in the middle of the Pacific ocean well known to mariners where there is never any Christmas day. This is owing to it's being in the one hundred and eightieth degree of longitude and directly oposite to Green wich, and, therefore, twelve hours ahead of Greenwich time. In journey around the globe the other 12 hours would have 70 be knocked out of the navigator's calendar, and if this point crossing the antipodes is touched Christmas eve then there can be no Christmas day.
 Tn one of the West Indies group there is a colony of some 500 whites and blacks where there are neither towns nor villages nor fresh water supply. In- deed there is such scarcity of every thing that the government has to send food and employment to the inhabi- tants to keep them from starving Salt fish and sweet potatoes are the sta ble foods of the anguillas, and the only water obtainable is brackish and tainted by the sea.-London Answers.

THEODORE HILTON AGAIN.

A cable dispatch from Paris says thai Theodore Hilton is considering an offer to make a lecture tour in this country. This seems like a message from the dead. It has been many years since MT. Triton left this country, and many no doubt thought that he was no long, CT living. Once he was a prominent figure in the life of New York, and a brilliant career was predicted for him. How that career was blasted is well known. If he returns to the United States he will find that he is almost the only survivor of those identified with the Beecher-Tilt5n scandal. MT. B. ech- CT is dead. His statue stands near the court house where his famous trial took place. and his memory is re- vered in Brooklyn. Mrs. Tilton and Mutual Friend" Moulton have also passed over to the silent majority. The judge who presided at the trial, the foreman of the jury, and most of the lawyers engaged on both sides are dead. or those who survive Mir. Evarts is in complete retirement, and only Gen. Tracy and MT. Shearman are in active life. Theodore Triton will be recalled as a man of fine figure and handsome face.

NEW STORIES ABOUT VICTORIA.

Mrs. Oliphant notes of the Princess Victoria herself that notwithstanding her simple breeding she early showed a vein of natural diplomacy.
 When taken to see her Uncle King and being asked to choose what music the band should play, she asked for God Save the King.''
 Another time the king asked the prin- cess which she had most enjoyed of the amusements at Windsor. The drive took with you, Uncle King" replied the little courier.
 Here is another story, different in character, but equally delightful:
 She was a brave little person, not given to crying or complaining. On enc occasion she had been warned not to play with a dog of uncertain tenn per, but continu5d d to do so until the an- imal betrayed himself by a sudden snap. oh. thank you,' she said; he didn't bfte me, he only warned me - London Chronicle.

The attorneys failed to agree u
pom what county the venue shall be
changed to. The defense suggested

prosecution objected to going to
Bourbon county. basing its objection
on statutory grounds, and suggested
special term of court be held for the
exclusive purpose of these trials in
Woodford or Scott county. Judge
Cantrill took the matter under ad-
viSement and will decide tomorrow
to what county the trials shall go.
Hearing of proof in motions for

for w. H. Culton, who did not ask
for change Of venue, will begin to-
morrow. according to the present
outlook will take up the remainder

EIGHTY FOOT FALL.
Dick Belt Takes A Big Tumble
Down The Mines Shaft.

Tuesday afternoon, Dick Belt,
a young man employed as a wash
er at the Memphis spar mines,
started to climb down the ladders
leading from the top to the bottom
of the 100 shaft. He stopped at
the mouth of drift just as one of
the small cars loaded with miner
al came in from the drift, and the
car struck him with sufficient force
to break his hold, and down he
shot towards the bottom, eighty
feet below. At the mouth of the
drifts are planks covering a part
of the main shaft, and as the fall
ing man struck these a slanting
lick as he passed, the force of the
fall was partially broken, and he
reached the end of his long tum-
BILE more dead than alive. DR.. Joe
Clark was called and dressed the
bruises, and found that the hip
was fractured. Yesterday Belt
was sitting proped up in bed, feel

is the one with whom the attor-

Being from Kentucky he is also
assumed to be more familiar with

Perhaps two or three will dc
this. In any case report will be
made informally to all of the
Judges next Saturday or the Sat
urday following, which is consul
tation day.
If the work of examining the
briefs can possibly be got through
with, the report will be made at
next Saturdays consultation, the
opinion ordered written, and will
be read on Monday.
If the report is not ready for the
consultation it will not be submit
ted until the Saturday following.
Then the opinion would be given
on the following Monday.
The decision is more apt to be
rendered on the 14th day of May
than any other day. 1t will be
hardly ready before then, and the
court will adjourn ON that day or
the 2lst for the summer. 1t will
