The campaign is now on for the
selection of men who are to com

conventions or elections may occur
at any time. If they are deferred
till near the general election, still
men ale expressing "a desire To go
the legislature, or are solicited by
friends to stand for election So
that long before the nominations
are made, in different parts of the
State, it is settled question that
one OF two or more aspirants for
honors, OF each county or senatorial
district, will be sent to Frankfort.
1t is in this first settling process
that we must exert ourselves il we
expect TO control, to any extent,
the personnel of the next General
Assembly.
Frankfort is not the place to
make converts to temperance. See
that your men stand square on

then in the name of party loyalty
it whips into the traces, like so

Is Leprosy Hereditary?

1t is generally supposed that
leprosy is hereditary. We have
different testimony. however, of a
very high order.
Miss Miriam Sluder, of st. Louis,
who is known as Sister ALBANIA, of
the Franciscan Order, has been
eleven years in the Hawaiian Is
lands caring for the children of
lepers. She has recently returned
to st. Louis on a visit to her par
ents. She says that there is no
truth in the common belief that
children oflepers inheritthe disease.
She further states that they take
the children when they are two
days old. and that they have never
had case where leprosy has de-
veloped in after years. The child
rem mostly all come from the Island
of Molokai, where the leper colony
is located.

Enemies.

1--WE are bound to love our enc
mies. This is law of Christianity.
No system but this has required it
and no act of Christian piety is
more difficult. None shows more
the power OF the grace Of God; none
is more ornamental to the charac-
ter; none more like God; and none
furnishes better evidence of piety.
He that can meet man kindly who
Is seeking his hurt; who can speak
we'll of one that is perpetually
slandering and cursing him; that
can pray for a man that abuses, in
lures and wounds him; and that
can seek heaven for him that wishes
his damnation; is in the way to
Ufd. This is religion. beautiful as
~ native skies; pure as its source !;
kind like its author; fresh as the
dews of the morning; clear and diff
fusive like the beams of the rising
sun: and holy like the feelings and
words that come from the bosom of
the Son of God. He that can do
this need not doubt that be is a
Christian. He has caught the very
spirit OF the Savior, and he must
inherit eternal life"

CARRIED AWAY BY HUR-
RICANE
And Found by Loved Ones a De
cade After.

The following remarkable story
is told of babe which was blown
away by hurricane and seventeen
years after was identified and re-
stored to her parents. This story
is written by Victor Moulder,
from Smiths Grove, KY, April 8.
1t is Interesting and really marve-
lous:
An extraordinary reunion has
Just occurred six miles south of
Smiths Grove, KY. During the
Allen county hurricane in the
spring of 1887 babe, one year old,
was blown into the front yard of
g. e Il. vTfsich's nome. The child,
when found, was snugly tucked in
a coverlid and was quietly resting
on a feather bed. The babe had
ridden on the winds for many miles,
and, strange to say, was uninjured.
1t was taken into Mr.. Welch's
home, near Carver school-house,
and cared for. The incident was
widely published and long search
was made for the home and parents
of the tiny stranger, but none was
found to claim the babe. She was
christened Nina" and in the
course of time grew up to beauti-
full womanhood.
Years passed and the "storm
child" ceased to be a wonder. There
was one clew to the child's identi-
ty-the coverlid was a peculiarly
woven piece of homemade fabric.
and in one corner of it were the
initials 81. H."
Three weeks ago James Higgins,
of Tennessee, was buying cattle
along Barren river and CHANGED TO
stop at the Welch homestead. AL
most the first thing he noted on
entering the house was the beauti
full coverid on the bed.
He inquired of Mrs. Welch
where she obtained the pattern,
whereupon the lady related the
story of the "storm child"
"That blanket" said Mr.. Hug
gins, "was gift from my mother.
My initials are upon it,"
Then, SIR" said Mrs. WEIGH,
"this must be your daughter"
pointing to Nina, pretty girl of
seventeen, as she entered the room.
"She is my niece. My brother,
Alonzo Higgins, his wife and their
babe were at my home in Tonnes
see when the storm came up. The
house was blown from over us, and
with it went everything. We
searched for days and weeks and
finally gave up the tot as lost. My
child" turning to Nina, "your
parents are alive in Texas. will
be glad to restore you to them"
The couple left. Two weeks
later letter came to Mrs. WEIGH
from Mr.. and Mrs. Higgins, ex-
pressing their thanks for her care
and kindness to their long lost
child. A check for a plump sum
of money was in the letter. After
sixteen years the lost one was re
stored 20 the parents from whom
she had been so rudely snatched by
the storm. The babe was carried
fifty miles in the arms of the hur-
ricane.
