Proctoh Knot was nominated by the Kentucky Democrats for twfernor of that Commonwealth last Thu :t-s- % - ._ in—u——— State Superintendent Holcombe has decided that tKel:e is nothing to prevent a woman as a school trustee of a city or-town. The eoldiSJd editors iu tWe United tetntes dumber nearly a huudfed, and they propose ttt hold a Convention in St. Louis in July. A convention of Free Tlnrikillb of the tinited States arid Canada is to he held at Rochester, N. Y., beginn ing August 29, and continuing five days. A ilEKioiaxcv of nearly ont million of dollars iu tlie coiiipensation of postmasters for the current liseal year, has been disooVSRjd iii Washington. Sir Stafford Xokthootk is iu the Uiiited States. .Mis son Oliver is to marry a Miss Ffsli, an American lady, and the old man has conic over to attend the wedding; TrtM Indiana State Normal school inaugurated the Arbor day idea in this strife by planting two shade trees in the campus, iiartiihg them William Cullen „• Bryant and Margaret Fuller. Reports from Madison in one ol'tlie largest j>each growing sections ol the state arc to the elfect that there will probably riot be more than a fourth of the usual peach crop and those ot'the later varieties.

A San Francisco letter says: “Our State prison is so crowded with Chinese criminals {list the Legislature fias p&Vdoned them all, the Chinese Consul engaging to, ship them back , by first steamer.” ’ Mechanics will spend this summer striking for higher wages, and next summer when they have reached their extremity, Republican politicans will tome aronnd &nd u i'ge them “to let well enough alone.” AVill they do it? Senator Vookhkeb’ speech fo the —defense in the celebrated Thompson murder trial, at Harrodsburgh, liy., is spoken of as one of the finest eft'o -ts of his life. People eame in crowds from all the surrounding country to hear him. , ._ The cigar makers are now getting one dollar more per thousand on account of the reduction of the tariff, and yet the government continu s to live. This reduction should go 01 until the internal revenue tax/with its long line of office holders have been , abolished. „ Leauinu Russian Journals are advising friendly relations to be inaugurated between that country and Ireland, with a view towards assisting tin .latter in her rapidly approehing irrepressible conflict with England. K It will be ho surprise if such a compact is not soon consummated. The publication of the uaim-s of persons drawing pensions from the Government is almost completed. It will be composed of forty-eight volumes .of 600 pages each. If a ma n has nothing else to do he might find out in a lifetime whether imp roper persons were drawing pensions. Hon. Uobace Heffhen, of Salem, Ind., and member of the last Legislature) died at his residence last Sunday morning, lie was sixty years old, and for a loug time has been a prominent politician In this State. Last winter he had a heated discussion with the Indianapolis Journal, growing out of t he renewal of the old 8ons of Liberty charges against him. The wife of Senator Fair, the great* bonanza statesman from Nevada, lias obtained a divorce from him, for alleged adultery alld drunkenness, with 14,500,000 alimony. It will now be in onler for the Senator to contract new hymeneal relations and surpass the vulgar financial show of the obese “night-shirt” statesman) Tabc<t> who was the laugh iflg-stock of all Washington last winter, p

1 hr Standard Oil works a! Jersey City, the largest in this country, was struck by lighting, exploding a tank. The burning oil was scattered in every direction, fragments of iron were hurled a half a mile, Tauk after tank exploded as the burning oil reached further and further, till the whole easterly stdc Was a fearful mass of flames and the.Wy was a sheet of bunting oil. It is estimated 5,000,000 gttlk ns were in the tanks. Tile loss of property is estimated at $1,500,000. Mr. Keely’s motor is now said to be complete, a statement which has a familiar sound, having been repeated at frequent intervals during th« last six or eight years. This time, however, Mr. Keely, it is asserted, Is making application for letters pa tent, and has allready filled 500 foolscap pages with a description of the machine. If the department experts find he same difficulty in understanding lire motor which they struggle with in the case of other in vecdons which mi;:ht interfere with the monopolies, Kir. Jteely may expect a patent to heissued »or e time in the next century.

mamma mam Hohahu Seymour talk* like a tvis* man in arifiohucing his belief in iff for revenue only: It wi>* ba long before advoeateii >r * „ ......__., venue will We hard any thiug else t hap to people are coming to fibdi for tb' l wm,"6 w undorst*- " *“at wlien are laid j. . ^ ...thing else t-ilah the benefit of . eminent, it is for the benefit of irivate individuals) and Americans have changed their nature if they will stand that. Tub Republican press is full of praise to General Rannt because he has stolen nothing. Has it Come to this, that the honest official is the exception, and attracts special attention, while the official thieves are so numerous as to go unnoticed ? If General Raum has accounted tb the government for all the funds that have passed through his hands) lie has only done his duty-, and only deserves the praise and respect due to any other honest man. But if he has really done what is claimed for him, the reason for his resignation has been solved. The “great party” could hardly survive if every government official was strictly honest.__ When a child begins to read it becomes delighted with a newspaper because it reads di1 ii tubes and things which are familiar, and it will progress accordingly. A newspaper in one year, is worth a qu&rte.'s schooling to a child. Every father must consider that information is connected with advancement. The mother of a family, being one of its heads, and having a more immediate charge of children, should herself be instructed. A mind occupied becomes fortified against the ills of life, and is braced for any emergency. Children amused by reading or study fire of course more considerate and more easily managed. *__ A UKUTENant-colOnei, in the army bearing the classical name of Guide llgos has been notified by the.Secretary of War that unless he resigns immediatly he will be court-martialed. Lieutenant-Colonel Ilges has been gu ilty of swindling the government bydrawing his pfiy twice. Why is he given the right to resignhaving made such a record ? Are army officers better Ilian other men that they should be allowed to steal the people’s money without punishment ? It is not creditable to Secretary Lincoln that he should permit this rogue to resign his commission. He should be court martialed or handed over tb the civil authorities to be tried and punished as any other criminal would be.

The Pennsylvania Legislature is wrestling with a bill whose purpose is to make the citizens of other states pay Pennsyl vania's expenses by laying a tax on every gallon of crude petroleum exported from the state. The starting rate is one mill a gallon, but if started it will be found so neat a way ut paying expenses that it will grew, the Philadelphia Press says: “liy taxing petrolunui, nine tenths and over of w|uoh go out of tho state, we caa readily replenish our treasury and lighten our burden of taxation at the expense of the consumers of carbon oil all over the world.,, What could be nicer than to make the people of the other states support the government of Pennsylvania? But the Philadelphia Record objects, and argues that in fact, tho oil producers will pay the tax, as the consumers fix thejpriee. It says the oil industry is already heavily burdened by the tariff taxes on iron, steel, lumber, and other articles used in the oil production, and it estimates the tariff taxes upon the oil industry in the last twenty-one years at $91,982,500. Petroleum seems to be giving light in Pennsylvania ou tariff taxation of industry. _-1 ' • ■ • Eighty-Pour. [Omaha Herald.] Senator Vest talks with great confidence of a certain triumph of the Democratic party in 1884, no matter who the Republicans may nominate. He says that lcadingRcpnblicirus concede the prospect of success to the Democrats. He says they will not have Conkling's eloquence or Cameron's money, or Dorsey’s management next time. Cohkiing sneers at everything, Cameron is going to Europe to staytwo years, and Dorsey is very busy keeping out of the Penitentiary. Senator Vest says that the chances strongly favor McDonald as candidate, and indicates McDonald and Cleveland as the ticket. He says McDonald can carry Indiana beyond anybody’s power to buy it away from him, and gives him a character for rugged hotiestv nnd ability and fitness which none can gainsay. It is too soon to nominate the Democratic standard-bearer, but it is not a day hor an hour to soon to awaken public opinion to the merits of a few destinguished men from whom lie may be chosen. McDonald stock opt this way is on a high aud rising market and unless something happens to stop it, will soon be at a premium. Prefers the Bird in the Hand. The St.Louis Cilobo-Democrat, the leading Republican journal in the west, does not think that the chances for the 8ucess of its party 1884are very flattering. In speaking of John Sherman’s candidacy it says: “Senator John Sherman thinks it would help his Presidential boom to be chosen Governor of Ohio! this year, but professes willingness to sacrifice his ambition in order to prevent the election of a Democratic Senator in his place. Now, Mr. Sherman is a smart man-^ though not smart enough to get the nomination for President in 1880, or in 1884, for that matter. He is bright enough to prefer a bird ill the hand to a mere chance to put salt on tho tail of one in the bush. We suspect Senator John’s self-denial is due quite as much to fear that tie could not be elected Governor, or get tile Presidency through the Governorship, fls to innate patriotism._

Better than the Average. Indiana Democrat* arc not yet done glorifying over their success at the late municipal election* in that state. A summary of the returns shows that three-foorths\>f the cities and towns went Democratic by go< d majorities. It is not too late to remark that this resuk is a complete vindication for the legislature, whose conduct, it was predicted, would overwhelm the Democracy with defeat. The fact seems to be that it wan a better legislature than the average.—Cin, Enquirer.

Eon. Josaph E, MoDonald, [Sedalia Mo., Democrat.] Then* is something in the atmosphere that betokens a grand triumph for the Democracy in 1884. The procession is already forming fbr the grand display bf free ballots, and the lines are being drawn for the most magnificent conquest in all history. But what of the leadership ? Who of the Democratic giants shall lead on to victory ? Who amongst the hosts of statesmen shall be called to the charge and lifted high in the sunlight of public approval? It begins to look as though Senator Joseph E. McDonald, of Indi ana, would fill the measure of Democratic expectation: The great Northwest and west; the still greater Southwest and the Southern States have t aken with exceeding kindness to the mention of his ilainO; and the McDonald boom may fairly be described as growing rapidly. A hiaii of wondcrous activity, of executive force, education, of intelligence and uncompromising Democracy,he has gradually won his way to the front ranks while his illustrious services on behalf of the party and the people entitle him to unusual consideration at the party’s hand. He has declared himself unreservedly upon all public questions, and lias tieen-found in thorough sympathy with the people as against the corporations. He has declared that a tariff in excess of a revenue standard is not right and, aside from the burdens of Government, free trade is the doctrine. His platform is, therefore,“a tariff for revenue only,” and thorough reform in all departments of the National Government, whereby taxation shall be reduced,corporations controlled, monopolies broken and honesty in the administration of public affairs bo restored. The Democra'ts are watchthe developments of the McDonald boom with all the intensity that belongs to the great interests involved. Exoited Thousands.

'There are who touch the magic string, And noisy fame is proud to win them; Alias! for those who never sing, But die with all their music in them.’ ” “Yes, that's beautiful, pathetic and true,” said your representative. “The poet alludes to people who are somehow suppressed, and never get their full allowance of joy and air, which reminds me of a letter shotvn me the other day by niscox A Co., of New York, signed by Mr. E, C. Williams., of Ohapmai.,Snydor C6., Ta„ a prominent business man of that place. He writes t “ 'J have suffered with Asthma for over forty years, and had a terrible attack in December and January, 1882. I hardly know what prompted me to take Parser's Tonic. I did so, and the first day I took four doses. The effect astonished me. That uight I slept as if nothing was the matter with me, and have ever since. I have had colds since, but no asthma. My breathing is now as perfect as if I had never known that disease. If you know of any one who has asthma tell him in my name that 1’akk kk’s Tonic will cure it—even after forty years.’ There was a man who escaped the fate of those whom the poet laments.” This preparation, which has heretofore been known as Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be advertised and sold under the name of Parser's Tonic. "Inasmuch as ginger is really an unimportant ingredient, and unprincipled dealers at* constantly deceiving their customers by substituting inferior preparations under the name of ginger, we drop the misleading word. There is no change, however, in the preparation i tself, and all bottles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrapped tinder tlio name of Pakkkb’s Ginckr Tonic contain the genuine medicine if the fac-simile signature of Hiscox & Co. is at the bottom of the outside wrapper.
