PEACE SECURED.
An Agreement Arrived at by the
Conference at Louisville
The Democrats Come Out
Winners At All Points.

Louisville, Feb 6.-Shortly
after midnight, the Republican
and Democratic conferences in ses-
sion at the Gait House came to an
agreement, and a document was
drawn up for signature. 1t is
said the agreement is decidedly
favorable to the Democrats. Gov
Taylor is to withdraw the troops
from State buildings, at Frank
fort, and send them home. The
order convenipg the Legislature
at London, Ky, is to be revoked,
and the regular sessions of the
General Assembly are to he re >
sumed at the State capital without
mOleStatiOn.
1t is believed the understands
ing arrived at to night will result
in an amicable settlement Of the
dispute between the two parties
in this State and do away with
the dual governments now as,
sertlng themselves.

nature of which indicated that

that pca' g is much nearer than it

This notification from Frank.
fort came directly from Senator
elect Black burn, who was left in
churge of the democratic interests
at the capitol when Gov Beckham
and his advisers came TO Louisville
Sunday morning. 1t conveyed
the information that Gov. TAYLOR

PULPIT EPIGRAMS BY MOODY

If God put Adam out Of the earthly
Eden on account of one sin, do you think
he will let us into the paradise above
with tens Of thousands of our sins upon
us?
There are three classes Of people, the
"wills," the ''won'ts' and the "can'ts. "
The first accomplish everything, the sec
ond oppose everything and the third fail
in everything.
Gods best gifts, like valuable jewels,
are kept under lock and key. and those
who want them must with fervent faith
approximately ask for them, for God is
the rewarder of them that diligently seek
him.
ssa What we want is family piety, right
eOusness in our homes. A young minister
came to me and said he couldn't get along
with his wife and asked what he should
do. ] told him to get out Of the ministry.
A man has no right to be in the pulpit
unless he can get along with his family.
A man can no more take in supply Of
grace for the future than he can eat
enough today to last him for the next six
months or take sufficient air into his
lungs at once to sustain life for week
to come. We must draw upon Gods
boundless stores of grace from day to
day as we need it.

THE COOKBOOK.

Cracker crumbs absorb more fat than
bread crumbs in frying.
Porridge meal, if soaked overnight in
water, requires but half the time to cook
for breakfast.
TO prevent sausages from shriveling
cover them with cold water and allow
them to come to boil. Then drain them
and fry.
To chop suet cut into small pieces and
remove the membrane, sprinkle with -four
and chop in cold place to prevent its
becoming soft and sticky.
To cook a large Joint it will require a
bright, sound and even FIRE; thin joint
needs sharp, brisk one. When steam is
seen to arise from the meat, it is suff-
GENTLY done and should be removed from
the fire.
Few cooks understand the knack Of
beating the whites of eggs easily. A wire
whisk is the best beater, and it should be
lifted from the eggs at each stroke. The
eggs, too, must be cold, and q pinch of
salt must be added to them.

years ago. At that time the Maoris were
ferocious athletes. Alcohol was un-
known to them. Their staple foods
were kind of sweet potato, the dubious
root of kind of lily and fish and birds.
They did not use tobacco. As result Of
this abstinence, they were sblessed with
fine white teeth, keen eyesight and per-
feet immunity from cancer and blood dis
eases; Cuts and wounds healed with re-
markable rapidity. They were good ia.
theirs and mothers, attentive, indeed al
most overindulgent to their children,
though by an odd contrast they seldom
hesitated to kill weakly or deformed
child at birth. The chief scourge Of the
Maoris was consumption, which was not
brought upon them, however, by any
careless or barbarous habit. The Maoris
in New Zealand were tropical race who
migrated into a temperate zone. They
naturally shrank from cold and suffered
from coughs, rheumatism and influenza
and from ailments of the throat and
lungs.
At last the white man came, bring
ing with him the manifold curses of
civilization. The musket turned the tribal
wars into butcheries and swept away a
fourth of the race in 20 years. Rum did
some mischief, though not so much as
among other savage races. More dele
FERROUS was incessant tobacco smoking.
Various infectious diseases went through
the tribe. European dress, worn in full
one day and half laid aside the next,
was another evil against a people al
ready subject to consumption. When
the British rule brought, after a success
sion of disastrous wars, lasting peace,
even that had its disadvantages. 1t de-
prived the tribes Of their main business
and excitement and of the stimulus to
keep in hard training. In the old light
ing days the villages were placed on
hilltops or at the edges of tall cliffs In
the healthiest spots in the islands. They
have since been too often shifted to low
lying, Ill drained levels by rivers, lagoons
or marshes. Worst of all is the semi
idleness In which the Maori too often
passes the year. He has grown, fat,
sluggish and unambitious-too intelligent
not to see that his race needs rousing
and reforming, but too lazy, torpid and
dispirited to begin the work.
There are men still living who took
part in the terrible war dance of the
Maoris. now a thing of the past. All
eyewitnesses unite in describing its ef-
feet as terrific. Hard headed pioneers
and travellers, untroubled by nerves. ad-
NIT the impression Of horror left upon
them by the sight. Painted with red
ocher. stripped to the skin, the tattooed
warriors roared. groaned. writhed and
,brandished their weapons. Al one mo-
ment all leaped in the air, at another
they stamped the earth till it shook be-
meath them. Their tongues were pro-
truded, their faces worked convulsively,
their~eyeballs rolled till only the glaring
white could be seen. Dripping with
sweat, they seemed very demons in their
frenzied' contortions and excitement.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 10. 49, Secretary
Root has taken steps to institute at
once reforms in the judicial system in
Cuba, tie animating purpose being to
correct as soon as possible the Cubans
prisons abuses which have already
been the subject Of representations to
the war department. General Wood
has been giving this matter his atten-
ton, and his Investigations into the
conditions Of the prisons and the faults
of the Cuba judicial system generally.
have confirmed Secretary Root in his
purpose to apply corrective measures at
the earliest possible moment. To, &C.
complish this purpose the secretary has
decided to appoint q commission COM
posed of three Americans and IN equal
number of Cubans. This commission
will probably consist Of Horatio Rubens,
E. L. Conant and Mr.. Runcie for the
American side. These are all lawyers,
well versed in the Spanish code, as we'll
as thoroughly acquainted with Amer
lean practice.
The Cuban contingent will probably
be selected by Governor Wood from
among the members of the Havana
bar. The commission will meet at the
earliest possible moment in Havana,
and begin 1T once q revision Of the
criminal methods, following this up
later on with amendments of the civil
code, where necessary. 1t is not the
purpose to outrage local sentiment and
disturb we'll established practice, ex-
cept in instances where rank injustice
dourishes under it. But it cannot be
tolerated that persons charged with
the smallest of misdemeanors and little
lsrceniss should lsnguish, as at present,
for year in Jail before having any
kind of trial. and to such abuses as
this, a. we'll as to the incommunicado
system, the committee will devote its
immediate attention.
Mr.. Rubens has had a consultation
with Secretary Root and left Washing.
ton for New York. He expects to pro-
coed to Havana, via Miami. next
Wednesday.

Deception In Art.

Ever since the days of Zeuxis and
Apelles. when Bucephalus neighed at
the sight Of the painted Alexander and
birds pecked at painted grapes, there
have been occasional reversions to the
horse bird theory Of what constitutes
art. 1t is not for effect on horses and
birds, however, but for effect on the hu-
man consumer, that rabbits and squirrels
are painted hanging on dingy old shutters
with such realism that iron ratings have
to intervene to keep the victims Of the de-
ception from. feeling the fur. Such pic
lures command good prices at the hands
Of gentlemen of sporting proclivities who
desire to decorate their dining rooms.
It may be that they help to prove our
Darwinian descent from cells Of Ar
chsean time by way Of the ancestral birds
with teeth and horses with Eve toes, but
they irresistibly recall the new rich poll
tician who built himself a fine house,
with library In it containing several
thousand wooden, book backs safely lock-
ed UP behind glass doors to which the
keys were always absent. 1t does not
require high art merely to deceive.-New
York Press. .
