For the timehonort and custom-hallowed phrase, "whom God hath joined to-gtther let no man put asunder," he proposes substituiiui, whom the governu.ent or naiiiM may put asunder, let no man attempt to put togetherFurther particulars concerning marriage according to the Marquis cf Queensbury rules will be awaited with interett. A waiting world is eager to know if the first knock down by or .f .either husband or wife is such putting asunder by nature as that no mati may attempt to put them together. Is the matrimonial fight a one round a£fair? Cannot seconds in the form ot mutual friends intervene to eponge off the combatants and start them again?

THB Kentucky Senatorial deadlook came to i.n abrupt conclusion in caucus last night. For several weeks the contest has been going on. General Williams, "Cerro Gordo as he bes been

nicknamed for the gallant pari he bote in tha' particular battle of tl Mexican I war, ii the present incumbent of the posiI tion and the fight has been tor his successors!) ip. He has been the prineipal candidate from the start and has lead in th^ balloting all the time np until the end.

His principal competitor has been John 8. C. Blackburn, at present and for several terms past a member of Congrew, Judge Sweeney has been the third candidate. Atout a week ago Sweeney's name was withdrawn but an election was prevented by Speaker Carlisle's name being brought into the contest, bat without any effort On Mr. Carlisle's part. Last night Carlisle was withdrawn and then on a final ballot between Williams and Blackburn the latter won, receiving 80 votes to his competitor's 68.

Blackburn is a typical Kentnckian. Handsome in person and magnetic in manners, he is gifted with a fluency of speech which, in view of the results of his oratory at times, may be said to be a fatal gift. He has the faculty of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time with a grace of diction and a beauty of expression which is without a parallel .since poor old Ben Hill's death. But as Hill was benefited by his transference* from the bouse to the senate, and seemed more capuble in the upper house than he ever was ia the lower one of putting a curb upon his hitherto unbridled tongue, it is possible there may be some hope that Blackburn may fail for a season to do most fatal execution among his friends when be is out on an oratorical gunning expedition after his political enemies. A little less tongue and more tact, if you plea?e, Senator Blackburn, and the apprehensions of your triends will be turned to rejoicings. m.

POLITICS AND POBTR Y. Ohio is a tolerably large state and it is the home of politics and politicians. Within its limits is confined more politics to the square inch than, perhaps, in any other state in tbe sisterhood. All over the union the activity, not to mention the hunger of the Buckeye staUs* men, is proverbial. As a natural resu't the Ohio papers are sorely pressed at times to keep their readers posted on politics. Four fifths of the editorial staff is made up of embryo and aspiring politicians or else of their retired and disappointed brothers. And when something of a political nature happens outside of the state needing reportorial attenchnce, then indeed there is a hurrying to and fro in the sanctums and lathering tears and tremblings of distress and adtimantive cheeks all pile, and indeed a geaerai hubub before the mustering quad run go *s hurrying forth to the seat ot rtportoiial war.

A disturbance of this Bert ccume: only the other day in the CiuciuBa'i News-Joutnal office A

of its correspondents were scouring the

Hau'e to Frankfort. No fear is felt touching our own young men, for tney need net leave home on any expedition of this sort, but in other less favered cities, for example, who may tell if it shall not lead to an hegeira of the youths similar to that caused by tbe pold fever of '49 when a grand army started for California.

But our spring poet is kept waiting. He has the floor. Heir him: But the women come trooping to the post( ffice as ot yore, with fckirts as dainty and hosiery as innocent ot speck or eplash as if tbe sunshine kissed the velvet 1 ips of May Theae maidens o» Keutucby would redeem babara from its arid it es and change a sage brush desert into, another Valley of Cashmere. They liave vi lets for e} es and mossrosc buds for lips their cheeks are peaches, their necks are alabaster, their bosoms are white poppies—slumberous banks of floweis—tipped with coral hued geranium. They have flesh as solt as the three ot a Southdwwn lamb and voices nt as the brook t'tat laughs among its mouses. Their traus'ueent hands through which the sunlight shines have dimples where we look for knuckles, and cunning little labyrinths for joints, and pink seashells for nails. Their feet are of the pattern ot a laurel leaf and just as small, with insteps arching like a swan's neck, and polished ankles and rosy little toes furnish fair kissing ground for sweetheart's lips. Their bodies are warm snow, their souls sweet fire, and they thrill and throb and tremble in a lover's arms like quivering lightning in a whita dew cload at sunset of a drowsy day in Jane.

Frankfort is full of such, and when you lcok at them you wish that some of them might go to purgatory to sweeten its despairing bitterness for yon when you

BUSINESS FOR EIGHTEEN HUN DRED AND EIGHTY-THREE. A circular has been issued by the well known banking house of Henry Clews & Co., of New York, that is of commercial importance. It is, in brief, a synopsis ot the business of the United States for tbe calendar year of 1683. The com mercial calamities of the year are especially treated of. It aeems from their figures there were a little over eleven thousand failures in this countrv in the one year. This is sufficient cause for alarm in itself and this house calls upon every business man to study thiB vital question over and evolve some theory as to the cause of this terrible mortality in the field of commerce. Then the present stagnation of trade is considered and every business man appealed to to send in his theory tor this. The Messrs. Clews & Co., advance the theory that the tiue cause will be found in over production. And this suggestion is made: "Under a well regulated condition of things, an over-production of commodities should be impossible. But, under the high taiiff policy to which the nation is now committed, our ability to export is limited by artificial restrictions upon our import? and consequently when our production of goods exceeds the wantB of home consumption, wo have no adequate foreign outlet lor the surpius, and prices are forced down abnormally and the productive industries of the nation are driven to an abuormil contraction of operations.

Within the pa6t year, the effect of this artificial glut of the markets has been apparent in an extreme tall in tbe prices of a wide range of commodities, in a limitation of work at mills aud mines and in a severe strain upon credit at large. The industries that have suffered most are those most favored with discriminating dut'es against competing foreign products but it would be almost impossible to mention any branch of industry, outside of agriculture, that has not sustained a more or less serious injury."

A TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.

Three Buildiags Demolished, Six Persons Killed, and Sovea Badly Hurt ALUANCK,

0.,~Feb.1.—About

4 o'clock

this afternoon a terrible explosion occurred in tbe business center ot the city. Glass in windows for blocks along the main street was shattered, and consternation reigned supreme. Smoke and du6t covered everything for a radius of a quarter of a mile. When the cloud arose it was discovered that the explosion occurred in tbe brick business block of F. M. Orr, occupied by him on the first floor as a stove and tin store and on the second and third stories used for tenementapartments. His block Was leveled to the ground and two brick blocks, one on each side, succumbed to tbe shock, while others farther away were shattered and badly injured. In a few moments flsmes arose from the ruins and the fire alarm was sounded. 8uch excitement prevailed that the fire gained so much headway as to nearly consume the ruins, and burned two bouses before it was got under control. Meanwhile, the soene was harrowing in the extreme. It was known that six or more people were killed or imprisoned in the wreck, and would perish by the"

fire. F. M. Orr,

Elmsr Orr, his 6on, Mrs. Homer Highland, a daughter, Mrs. Frauk Evans and two children, aged two and four years, were known to have been in the building at the time of the explosion. These all perished. Tbe woman and children were in tbe second and third stories, and are supposed to have been killed by falling walls. Mr. Orr and his son were both spoken to while confined under the debris, but burned to death. These bodies were all recovered at 10 o'clock to-nieht but were so crushed or charred as to be hardly recognizable. They were taken to Sharer's undertaking establishment, where the scene baffled description. The only person in the Orr building known to have escaped was Frank Evans, wbuse wife and children perished. Beside those killed, the following have broken limbs or are cut and bruised by flying bricks, etc.: Robert Joyce, Frank Evans, Frank Fries, J. D. Lewis, Jerry Miller, Maggie Miller, John Baker.

The explosion "was caused bv fumes from gasoline. Tbe child of Mr. Orr turned the faucet in the barrel and the fluid ran out oa tbe floor. Mr. Orr was mopping it up when gas arising therefrom ignited from the gaslight. John Currey and Charles H. Hoyden, oi Dupr?z & Benedict's minstrels, were blown out of Orr's store through a plateglass window and carried clear across tbe street, where they were picked up badly injured, but will recover. The damage ig estimated at from $60,000 to $80,000 partially insured.

Business was entirely suspended in the city after tbe explosion. The mins-' trel entertainment was declared off. It is thought all the bodies have been recovered.

FENCE dUTTERS.

An Article in the New York Sun Defend.v? ing Them....... NEW YORK, Feb. 2.—The Sun has a communication defending the fence cutters in Texas. He says: By the homestead laws the public lands were reserved for actual settlers. They went there under this pledge and io time acquired herds of cattle, did well, and encouraged others to follow their example. When it was seen that the business of raising ca'.tle was profitable, large capitalists, non-residents and many of them foreigners, engaged iu the business, bought out some ranches and brought herds of cattle from Texas and elsewhere. They then set to work stretching wire lences across the country so as to exclude the cattle of settlers from grazing on lanas except in their immediate neighborhood. By this means they are driving the settlers from tbe country. It is call«d freezing them out. They thus wholly defeat the obiect of the homestead-law and prevent the settlement of the eountry. Settlers have taken their families and made that country their home. It is a country fit for nothing but raising cattle. If settlers are deprived of this resource they must leave. Tbey knew this and believing that tbe excluding of them trom the range is a violation of their rights, tbey have in many cases cut these fences. They cannot contend with the iich companies unless the government passes strict laws to protect settlers* from encroachments.

High License in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.—The Harper high license law* tbe state enactment which fixes the minimum license for selling malt liquors within the limits of the state at $150 a year and for selling spirituous liquors $500, the operation of wbich the city council of Chicago has been warding off, necessarily will enter into effect in this city after April 1st. In view of tbe general belief that many say $150 licenses will b£ used as a cover for tbe sale of spirituous liquors, a sentiment has been worked up in favor of a uniform $500 license. A canvas of tbe voting strength in the council shows 22 in tavor ot a bigh uniform license and 14 for a graded license. The mayor favors graded license, but if the council estimate is correct the ordinance can be adopted over a possible veto.
