The Kentucky election for State officers occnrs in August.

President GlbvsiiAXP had great luck on his trout expedition to the Adirondacks lart week. Ned H-AXtos was defeated by Gaunaud in a three mile scull race at Chicago, last week, for the championship and a purse. - - . -- "A good man always dies too Boon," observes a Buffalo paper.

James Patson, of South Carolina, has discovered that this is a world of disappointment. He waited twenty-one years and then made a journey of 1,250 miles to lick Jackson Rogers, of Nebraska, for an insult. Jackson refused to be licked, and Mr. Pay son was laid up in a hospital or six weeks. . .

Andrew Lang, a British writer, artvises people, through an American magazine, to "read good books, but not to read magazines- or? newspapers." Andy, 'evidently, is a joker, although

perhaps not consciously, or even intentionally. About all the printed matter

nowadays worth reading is presented in newspapers or magazines. A person who5 would read nothing but books might make a very good juryman, but he would make a verv poor citizen.

Tre statistics of foreign immigration for April show a total of 73,107, against

49,158 for April 1886, while the total for the ten months ending April 30 was 334,196, against 229,016 for the correspond

ing period of the previous year and the -prospect is that the llext ten months will show a still larger increase. It is grati frying to know that so many of the people of other countries prefer to live in the United States but it is not pleasant to see that we are receiving immigrants at a rate so much faster than we have the power to assimilate and employ them safely and profitably.

From the eaverned shores and seas Springs tho waiting, sail-loved breeze; To its port speeds many a bark, Like an arrow to the mark.

"Gentlemen," said the Colonel, as he laid down a bursted flush and raked in the pot, "I call that scientific poker:" And when he answered the call and told them he was sorry but the baby had fits ana he was really compelled to jump the game, they thought it was too. A Cholera Specific. The following 13 marked as a specific for cholera and like-diseases common to hot weather: Take equal parts of the tincture of cayenne, tincture of opium, tincture of -rhubarb, essence of peppermint, and spirits of camphor.

American Rural Home. I was once detained at a small station on the C. B, & Q. railroad west of Chicago. The train was reported to be two hours late. Having finished my business in the town, which was two miles from the station, I was not disposed to return to the hotel and thereby incur the risk of missing the train and being compelled to remain over night. So scati ng myself in the little waiting room, by Btaring alternately at the 1 amp and the red-hot stove, I prepared to make the best of it. A minute later I was accosted by a new comer -a robust, singular, melancholy and odd personage. His age might have been forty, though he looked as the saying is, like sixty. His beard was long, bis hair was long, and his face, which was broad at the bottom, receded until his chin was lost in his throat: "HowMdo?" He advanced in a heavy, lumbering manner and sealed himself a few feet from me. I returned his sal utation. In reply I made some common-place remark about the weather. "Dnnno," he rejoinad. "A 'stranger here I am." Turning his long and melancholy countenance in my direction, he fixed his coal-black eyes on mine as if awaiting further speech. "Ah!" I said, beginning to feel a trifle ureasy. . "You're a stranger," he grouted. "Yes." "Humph! Thought so." He relapsed into silence. Ho finally shook himself, then attempted further speech. "Goin'fur?" Chicago." "What might you be doin' thar?" "Business." I replied curtly, because I was not accustomed to make known my affairs to chance acquaintances. "No fense no 'fense. Thought you might be goin on a wisit." He turned his black eyes on me again. Here was something wrong. I had made a discovery. Those keen, flashing black eyes didn't belong to that stolid face. The stranger's boots were large and coarse, but the hands, though rough and dirt stained, were small and shapely. Here was a disguise, and for no good purpose. In my disappointment caused by the train's delay, I had momentarily forgotten the sum of money which I carried. I involuntarily thrust my hand under my waist coat, while in a secret pocket was stored my wallet. The stranger's keen eyes were bent on me just then, and I confusedly fumbled my watch as If that was the chief object of my solicitude. Fifteen hundred dollars

was not an uncommonly large sum. But

now, exposed as I was, at that late hour it caused me uneasiness. These not very . pleasant reflections were disturbed by the entrance of two others, who like myself were bound to Chicago, and anxious, as I inferred from their conversation with the ticket agent, to make a connection at that point with a train going east. They were well dressed and carried satchels. After purchasing tickets, they expressed to each other their disappointment on finding the train behind time. As they turned to me, I observed that they glanced suspiciously at my companion, who had not yet taken notice of them. Apparently they disliked his looks as much as I did. When they were seated they addressed me, and we engaged in agreeable conversation. From their speech, their attire and manner, I knew

them to be gentlemen.

At las. near midnight, a whistle sounded, and a moment later the express halted at the station. As I threw my overcoat over my arm and picked up my traveling case, I observed the first comer to be taking a nap. I was about to awaken him, feeling that my former suspicions were due to nervousness, and feeling that, like myself, he might miss a great deal by missing the train, when I fancied his eyes to be but partly closed. This discovery rather staggered me. It made mo exceFsiyely nervous. I hurried on with my two friends feeling at every step as if the uncouth stranger were in pursuit of me. We were the sole passengers in the coach, and had seated ourselves com

fortably, when in walked the object of

my suspicions. He took a seat some distance in our rear, but on the opposite side, so that I could not watch him without his knowledge. By this time I felt so uneasy that I gladly accepted my fellow travelers' invitation to pass the time with agame of euchre. When the conductor entered we were deeply engrossed in pur game, so deeply that we did not at first observe what was taking place behind us. The stranger had fallen asleep this time in earnest tor the conductor had . to shake him roughly to rouse him. When he did so he experienced the adMed difficulty of obtaining his ticket. His passenger was disposed to be contrary,but finally handed a paper to him which he read in a dazedway. After a glance at his passenger, he went on and we resumed our game, which through the small bets made, became rather absorbing. Luckily I received a hand on which I was willing, if there was need, to place any amount. To my surprise and indigna-

! Hon. just then, along stalked the stranger

who, in passing, awkwardly stumbled against me, knocking my cards to the floor. He passed on without so much as an apology for his rudeness. He had

no sooner passed than I involuntarily placed my hand to my breast My wallet was gonel "Gentlemenl" I exclaimed excitedly, "I've been robbed! That rascal has my money. Help me to arrest him.' "Hold on," replied one of my companions, "let me call the conductor," "Halt!" The stranger shouted this as he faced us. with a revolver in each hand. My companions, both cowed, sank into their seats. At this juncture, the stranger's accomplices entered two at each olid of the car, and advanced with drawn weapons. "I gave myself up for lost. Stepping forward, the stranger, taking no notice of me, ordered my companions to hold up their hands. They did so and were both handcuffed in a twinkling. Tne Jesse James style, certainly, I thought. " Aha!" ejaculated the leader of the gang. "We've got you fast, my beauties." Taking my companions, the gang went forward, leaving me alone and unmolested. I did not understand this proceeding, though I clearly understood that I had been robbed of 1.500. The conductor entered. He looked rather pleased, I thought, for one whose train was in the hands of robbers. "Pretty slick wasn't it?" he remarked, cheerily. "I should say it was," I replied, my anger rising. "It was cool certainly' "Jake's got 'em dead this time," he replied. "Jake?" I repeated. "You moan Jesse James. At this ho burst out laughing. He then explained. The stranger was simply a detective who had tracked down my companions two states prison birds who had planned to rob me. Tho gang were the train hands who, at the signal, assisted in the arrest. You may infer my surprise and gratification. In the baggage car I found my late companions. At Chicago they were transferred to jail, and afterwards to Joliet for a long terms of years. I recovered my money, and did not forgot the detective, vou may be sure.

MATTERS OF LAW.

Recent Decisions of the Indiana Supreme Court. PKEE GRAVEL ROADS. IS, 187. The board vs. John W. Fnller ct ol. Montgomery C. C. Affirmed. Elliott, J. The act of April 8, 1885, concerning gravel roads, did not repeal the former acts concerning that subject. As the act of 1S77 was not repealed, assessments and proceedings under it are not affected by the later statute, and the authority conferred on the board of county commissioners by the act of 1877 still exists. The board of commissioners has authority to make an additional s assessment to pay the cost of the improvement in case the original proves insufficient. The board ol commissioners, of its own motion and without a petition, can direct the levying of an additional assessment, but the board cannot iUelf determine the additional amount to ba assessed against the land-owners. It must refer the matter to the owners, as in the first instance, to determine and report the amount to be assessed as, benefits. ; F1KE INSURANCE. 12,527. Sarah Havens vs. the Home insurance company. Grant C. C. Affirmed. Mitchell, J. Although a fire insurance policy contains an inhibition against other insurance, if notice be duly given to the company or its agent of additional insurance,or if actualjknowledge is brought home that other insurance exists, or has been obtained, and no objection is made, the company will be estopped from insisting on a forfeiture because its consent was not indorsed on the policy. (Wood on .Fire ins. 382-883.) Where after a policy was executed it was claimed by the insured that a verbal agreement was made that other insurance might be taken, and that a written stipulation to that effect would be inserted in the policy after valid insurance was taken, without any notice to the company or request to insert the stipulation agreed on, and in violation of the express terms of the policy, in such case tne policy would be forfeited. The insurance company could not be held to be estopped, as it was guilty ol no wrong. A policy covering a houBe and the furniture constitutes one and the same contract, and if it is rendered forfeited by over insurance as to the house, it is likewise forfeited as to the furniture. . TAX SALE VOID SALE. 11,075 Henry St. Clair et al. vf. Samuel McClure. Ripley C. C. Reversed. Ni black, J. There are only three contingencies in which the eale of lands for delinquent taxes is absolutely void. The first being where the lands shall not have been liable to taxation; the second where the taxes have been paid before the sale, and the third where the description on tne tax duplicate is so imperfect as to fail to identify the land. The lien which the State has is in all other cases transformed to the purchaser and in case the sale fails to convey the title the amount paid by the purchaser may be recovered back, the enforcement of his lien against the land. The sale of land for taxes due which trasfers to the purchaser the State's lien is a void sale. Where land is sold, the owner at the time having personal property, although the sale is not effectual to convey title, yet said sale transfers the State lien. Where a taxpayer own both real and personal property the latter is pri marily liable for all the taxes assessed against him, but a lien, nevertheless, attaches to the real estate for accruing taxes by which it becomes secondarily, and if need be, ultimately liable for tho payment of such taxes. The lien which attaches is not diverted by the failure of the officers to seize personal property, but is transferred to and vested in purchaser when i;he real estate :is sold for non-payment of fcaxeB.

Raising Cocoa-nuts in Florida. Bosto Journal. : Cocoanut-raising is a growing industry in southern Florida. Pine-apples and cocoannts pay very well. Ten thousand pine apples can be raised, it is said, to an acre, and the same amount of space will support fifty cocoanut trees. The latter require very little cultivation. They begin to bear at from nine to twelve years of age, and produce from eighty to 1 G nuts to the tree. They bring about fiye cents a piece to the grower. Many groves have been planted within a few years. One New Jersey gentle"" has 330,000 trees.

DR. TALMAGE'S

Christianity is Rough Sailing: front Departing Point to Destination.

With No Certainly of Safety Until Hen von is Gained Cli.iiil, the Great Master, Can Still the Angry Tempest' 'Fenee Bo sua."

Rev. Dr. Talraago preached at the Brooklyn Tabernacle last Sunday. Subject, "The Tempest." Text, Mark iv., 86-30. He said: The subject, in the first placo,impresses me with the fact that it is very important to have Christ with the ship, for all those boats would have gone to the bottom of GencRsaret if Christ had not been present. Oh, what a lesson for you and for mo to learn! We must always have Christ in the ship Whatever voyage we undertake, into whatever enterprise we start, let us al way have Christ in the ship. Many oi you in these days of revived commerce are starting oat in new financial enterprises. I bid you good cheer. to ail you can do. Do it on as high a plane as possible. You have no right to be a stoker in the ship if you can be an Admiral in the Navy. You have no right to be a Colonel of a regiment if you can command a brigadej you have no right to be engineer of a boat en river banks, or near the coast, if you can take the ocean steamer from New York to Liverpool. All you can do with utmost tension of body, mind and soul you are bound to do; but, oh! have Christ in every enterprise, Christ in every voyage, Christ in every ship. There are men here who ask God to help them at the start of great enterprises. He has been with them in the past; no trouble can overthrow them; the storms might come down from the top of Mount Hermon and lash Gen liessaret into foam and into agony, but it could not hurt them. But here is another man who starts out in worldly enterprise, and depends upon the uncertainties of this life. He has no God to help him. After awhile tho storm comes and tosses off the masts of tho ship; he puts out his life boat and the long boat; the sheriff ami the auctioneer try to help him off; they can't help him ofl; he must go down: no

. jurist in ine snip, riere are young men just starting out in life. Your Hie will be made up of sunshine and shadow. There may be in it Arctic blasts or tropical tornadoes; I know not what is before you; but I know if you have Christ with you all shall bo well. You may seem to get along without the religion of Christ while everything goes smoothly; but after a while, when sorrow hovers over the soul, when the waves of trial dash clear over the hurricane deck, and the decks are crowded with piratical disasters oh, what should you do then without Christ in the ship? Young man, take God for your portion, God for your guide, God for vour help; then all is well; all is well for lime, all shall be well forever. Blessed is that man who puts in the Lord his trust. He shall never be confounded. . , But my subject also impresses me with the fact that when, people start to follow Christ they must not expect smooth sailing. These disciples got into the small boats, and I have no doubt they said: "What a beautiful day this is! What a smooth sea! What a bright skj this is! flow delightful is sailing in this boat! And as for the waves under the keel of the boat, why they only make the motion of our little boat the more delightful.,, But when the winds swept down, and the sea was tossed into wrath, then they found that following Christ was not smooth sailing. So you have found it. So I have found it. Did you ever notice the end of the life of the Apostles of Jesus Christ? You would say if ever men ought to have had a smooth life, a smooth departure, then those men, the disciples of Jesus Christ, ought to have had such a departure and such a life. St. J ames lost his life. St. Phillip was hung to death on a pillar. St. Mathew had his life, dashed out with a halbert. St. Mark was dragged to death through the streets. St. James the Less was beaten to death with a fuller s club. Sr. Thomas Avas struck through with aspear. They, did not find following Christ smooth sailing. Oh, how they were all tossed in the tempest! John lluss in the fire; Hugh Mc Kail in the hour of martyrdom; the Albigenses, the Waldenses, the Scotch Covenanters did they find it smooth sailing? But why go into history when I can come into this audience to-day and find a score of illustrations of the truth of this subject? That young man . in the store trying to serve God while his employer scoffs at Christianity; the young men in the same,, store antagonistic to the Christian religion, teasing him, tormenting him about his religion, trying to get him mad. They succeed in getting him mad, saying; "You are a pret-4 ty Christian." Boos this young man find it a smooth sailing when he tries to follow Christ? Here is a Christian girl. Her father despises the Christian religion; her mother despises the Christian religion; her brothers and sisters scoff at the Christian religion. She can hardly find a quiet place to say her prayers. Bid she find it smooth sailing when she tried to follow Christ? Oh, no! AH who would live the life of the Christian religion must sutler persecution; if you do not find it one way, you will get it in another way. The question was asked: "Who are those nearest the throne?" and the answer came back: "These are , they who came up out of the great tribulationgreat failing, great pounding and had their robes washed and made white in the blood of the tomb." Oh, do not be disheartened! Oh, child of God, take courage. You are in glorious companionship. God will see you through all these trials, and He will deliver you. My subject always impresses mo with the fact that good people sometimes get very much frightened. , In the tones of these disciples as they rushed into tho back part of the boat, I find that they are frightened almost to death. They say: "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" They had no reason to be frightened, for Christ was In the boat. I suppose if we had been there we would have been just as much aflrightened. Perhaps more. In all ages very good people get very much aflrightened. It is often so in our day, and men say: "Why, look at the bad lectures; look at the Spiritualistic societies; look at the various errors going over the Church of God; wo are going to founder; the Chureh is going to perish; she is going down." Oh, how many good people are aflrightened by iniquity in our day, , and think the Church of Jesus Christ is going to be overthrown, and were just as much aflrightened as were the disciples. of my text. Don't worry, don't fret, as though iniquity were going to triumph over righteousness. A lion goes into a cavern to sleep. He lies down, with his shaggy mane covering the paws. Meanwhile the. spiders spin a web across the mouth of the cavern, and say: "We have captured him." Gossamer thread after gossamer thread is spun until tho whole front of tho cavern is covered with the spiders' web, and the spiders say: "The lion is done; the lion is fast." After a while the lion has got through. sleeping; ho rouses himself, he shakes his mane, he walks out into the sunlight; he does not even know the spiders' web is spun, and with his voice he shakesthe mountain. So men come spinning their sophistries and skepticism about-Jesus Christ, lie seems to be sleeping. They say: "We have captured the Lord. He will never come forth again upon the nation. Christ is captured forever. His religion will never make any conquest among men." But after a while the Lion of the Tribe of Judah will rouse Himself and

come forthto shake mightily the nations.', What's a spider's, webb to tho aroused.

lion? Give truth and error a fair grapple, and truth will come off victor. But fjiere are a great many good people who

get afiVightcned in other respects. They are affrighted In our, day about revivals. They say: Qhl this is a strong religious galo. We are afraid the Church of God is going to be upset, and there are going to be a great many people brought into the Church that are going to bo of no ui e to it." And they are aflrightened whenever they see a revival taking hold of the churches. As though a ship captain with five thousand bushels of wheat for a cargo should say some day, coming upon deck; ''Throw overboard all the cargo;"and the sailors should gay: "Why, captain, what do you mean4:' Throw over all the cargo?" eays the captain, "we have a peck of chaff that has. got into this five thousand bushels of wheat, and the only way to get rid of the chaff is to throw all t lie wheat overboard." Now that is a great deal wiser than the talk of a great many Christians who want to throw overboard all tho thousands and tens .of thousands of souls who are the subjects of revivals. Throw all oyer board because they are brought into tho kingdom of God through great revivals, because there is a peck of chaff, a quart of chaff, a pint of chaff! I say, let them stay until the last day. The Lord will divide the chaff from the wheat. Do not be afraid of a great revival. Oh, that these gales from heaven might sweep through all our churches! Oh, for such as Richard Baxter saw in

England and Robe it McCheyns saw in Dundee! Oh, for such days as Jonathan Edwards saw in Northampton! Again, my subject im presses with the fact that Jesus was God. and in an in the same being. He is in the back part of the boat. Oh, how tired he looks; what sad dreams Me must have! Look at His countenance; He must be thinking of the cross to come. Look at Him; He is a man bone ot our bone, flesh of our flesh. Tired, He falls asleep; He , is a man. But then I find Christ at the prow of the boat; I hear Him say, "Peace, be still," and I. see the storm kneeling at His feet and and the tempests folding their wings in Hia presence; He is a God, If I have sorrow and trouble, aud want sympathy, I go and kneel down at the back part of the boat and say: "O, Christ 1 weary one of Genuesaret, sympathize with all my sorrows, man of Nazareth, man of tho cross." A man, a man. But if I want to conquer my spritual foes, if I want to get the victory over sin, death and hell, 1 come to the front of the boat, and I kneel down, and I say: "0, Lord Jesus Christ, Thou who dost hush the tempest, hush all my grief; hush ail my temptation, hush all my sin." A man, a man; God, a God. I learn once mere from this subject that Christ can hush a tempest. It did seem as if every thing must go to ruin. The disciples had given up the idea of managing the ship; the crew were entirely, demoralized; yet Christ rises, and He puts His foot on the storm, audit crouches at His feet. Oh, yes!

Christ can hush tho Tempest You have had trouble. Perhaps it was the little child taken away from you the sweetest child of the household, trie one who asljed the most curious questions, and stood around you with the greatest fondness, and the spade cut down through your bleeding heart. Perhaps it was an only son, and your heart has ever since been like a desolated castle, the owls of night hooting among the falling arches and the crumbling stairways. Perhaps it was an aged mother. You always went to her with your troubles. She was in your home t welcome your children into life, and when they died she was there to pity you; that old hand will do you no score kindness; that white lock of hair vou put away in tke casket or in the locket didn't look as it usually did when she brushed ic away from her wrinkled brow in the home circle or in the country church. Or your property gone you said: "I have so much bank stock, I have so many Government securities, I have so many houses, I have so many farms" ail gone, all gone. Why, sir all the storms that ever trampled their thunders, all the shipwrecks have not been worse than this to you. Yet you h ive not been completely overthrown. Why? Christ hushed the tempest. Your little ones were taken away. , Christ says: I foavo thatlirfce one in my keeping. I can care for him as well as you can, better than you can, 0 bereaved mother!" Hushing the tempest. When your property went away God said: "There are treasures in heaven in banks that never break." Jesus hushing the tempest. There is one storm into which we will all have to run. The moment when we let go of this life and trj' to take hold of the next we will want all the grace possible. Yonder I see tx Christian soul rocking on the surges of death. All the powers of darkness seem let out s apainst that soul; the swear ling wave, the thunder of the sky, the shriek of the wind all seem to unite together; but that soul is not troubled. . There is no sighing, there is no teajrs; plenty of tears in the room at the departure, but he weeps no tears; calm, satisfied, peaceful; all is well. By the flash of the storm you see the harbor just ahead, and you are making for that harbor. All shall be well, Jesus hushing the tempest. "Into the harbor of heaven now we glide; We'r home nt lust, home at lustSoftly we drift on its bright, silvery tide, We're home t hist. Glory to God 3 all onr dangers are o'er, We stand secu re on the ploryfied shore; Glory to God! we will shout evermore. We're biane at l ist."

How to Obtain Sympathy. 8uuday School Times. It is only through our personal experience that we .gain the power . of sympathizing with others. We should never be able to feel another's pain, if we had never felt a pain of our own So it is in all the other trials of our fellows; before we can enter into the feelings of one who is temp ted, or who is disappointed, or who is humiliated, or who is bereaved, we must e ourselves suffer beitng tempted, or being disappointed, or being humiliated, or being bereaved It is bard to have tiiese trials for ourselves; btit it is good for others that we have arid exercise sympathy wi th those who aie called to su:h trial for themselvea. And as we can never gain this power except through these trials, let us find a comfort in this thought that every triai tent to us is a call to added fitness in the all important ministry of loving sympathy. When God afflicts us He honors us, in order that we can honor ,Iim by helping others who are aiflicted,: The "Work of a Moment, United Presbyterian.

It was the work of a moment but the ovil uould no?s be eflecSually ellaced. Did you never cut yourself unexpectedly nd quickly? It took days or weeks to Ueal the wound, and even then a scar remained.

The facts are simply these: In the year 1572 there suddenly blazed forth! in the constellation " Cassiopeia a brilliant star which Tyohp Brahe, the astronomer, felt sure he had never seen before. It continued to increasa in brilliancy for several months, then grew dim and vanished entirely. But it never chaHged.its place, proving conclusively that the stranger was not a planet or a comet, but a fixed star. Records prove that the same star had been observed in the same locality at intervals xor about 815 years. Six of thef,e intervals. would agree with an appearance in the year 4 B.
