Case Called in Court and Conti ed—Au Ugly James Epperson, an Italian, was arrested Jast night at Jerome Allen's livery stable on a cbarge of mali- ciously cutting John Johason, a col- jored hostler at the stable. | The cutting, so far as can be |learned, was without provocation, the victim being in a stooping posture when Epperson plunged a long | bladed knife into his back, Johnson had to pull it out bimself. Epperson was dronk, and made no effort to escape, It seems he thought the colored man was going to get bis place in the stable, and. this, coupled with the fact that he was drurk, led to the cutting N vattons | LOUISVILLE, KY.

She did so, and was gra- ciously received by the unsuspecting aunt, Her husband remained in the neighborhood for hal€ an hour and en rang the bell Of course his aunt remembered him, ane invited him into the parlor. The bride had given some 6ctitious name, and was introduced to the young man by his aunt as soon as be entered the parlor, as her nephew. He walked over to the young lady and unbesitatingly implanted a kiss on her mouth The aunt looked on agkast, and exclaimed, ‘Why, the man's gone entirely crazy since I saw him last. You'll have to excuse bim, Mis Then she began to get indignant, and the young people had a hard time convincing ber that they were married aud only playin. an in- nocent joke. The young mn had to plead mighty hard to keep from by ing put out of the house, and to keep his bride from also being ejected, as the wrath of the aunt was turned on her when it was perceived that she offered no objection to be: ing kissed. + > 2 The other day a lady of the city went out to engage milk from a milk- man Who had stopped in front of the next house. When she got outside she found that the milkman was a milhwoman, “My name is Mrs. Corbett,’’ she thing elee, A disciplined is better than a popular one. ‘‘Another thing that might as well be abandoned now, because it will have to be abandoned sooner or later anyhow, isa feeling that a few may have—not to say do have—that some members are superior to others, A soldier's social position avails bim nothing, and it is well to learn it at the start. The dude is no better in the ranks than the tramp. The dis- cipline which governs them both is the same, Oneis aseasy a mark tor the enemy's bullet as the other. A ak Marshal Collins created no little merriment in the circuit court one day last week, The case against the Frank gang bad been disposed of, and a motion was made to turn the 8, satins and other articles of plunder over to the proper owners. The commonwealth desired to keep them for use in the other trials, however, and it was suggested that they be turned over: to Marshal Co! ling to be kept until the next court. “I'm not fixed to keep them,’’ he expected, ‘Well, cant you take them home?’’ inquired the contt. “I'll tell you, Judge,’’ replied the mershal, ‘,if I'd take all those things bome and my wife should happen to get her asilk dress out of them, 1 couldo’t do a thing with her!"’ The court enjoyed the reply as much as anybedy else, and the mar- sbal was not required to keep them. 74 The following story is told on Con- gressman Wheeler.

As the trains pass through, the young ladies crowd on the platforms and ask the soldiers for a button, and of coarse they can't refuse such « trivial request, Some of the girls have scores of but- tons, and many have cartridges and pieces of cracker, or “hard tack," to retain as souven As ao illustration of the disas- trous effect this has had on the sol- diers’ uniforms, especially those who have passed through a great many cities, one young lady asked for a button—just one—and the pvor sol- dier replied: “Button? Why, my clothes are only pinned on me now,’’ tok 4% A young man came to the city day before yesterday to meet an Lilinois band that was en route to Mayfield. He arranged to have the band stop over and play for the soldiers a little, and intended to take it around to the newspaper oflices and have the musi- liven things up witha little martial music. Before the day was half over, many people had heard of the big band that was coming in the afternoon. Well, the band came. It arrived on the boat from Metropolis, which made a special landing at the Illinois Central incline. The passenger train was in readiness to start at the Union depot, and had been held several minutes for the band, which had tel- ephoned from Brooklyn that it was coming. The musicians climbed the bill and ran for the train, After they were nearly to Mayfield, per- haps a little sooner, the young man cians Wasbington who isa staunch admirer of our congressman.

Evans of Mayfield, secretary, Mis3 Smith of Columbus, Ky., assist- ant secretary, Mr. Drain of May- field, district superintendent and Miss Georgia L. Daly treasurer. Rev. J. J. Jacobs, the pastor in charge at that place, did all in lis power to make the sojourn of the delegates a most pleasant one. The conference and convention were the best held in two or three years, Prof. O, M.

Prof. Wood is a brigadier general of the colored Knights of Pythias of Missouri and Kansas, Those of the colored people who are ranting about their unwillingness to go to war on the grounds enun- ciated a little while back by the min- isterial bother at Louisville, are more to be pitied than blamed. Many of the more ignorant of our people who go to ignorant and un scrupulous persons for information on such matters cannot be blamed for anything they may say or have said, as they are in many instances made the dupe of dupes.

This sounded pret- ty well to a majority of the yisitors from the Pennyrile, but not long since an old fellow struck Washing- ton who turned the tables on the so- licitous congressmen in a laughable way. “We're all very fond of Charlie,’’ the congressmen remarked to the vis- itor, ‘‘He’sone of the brighte men in congress.

But it is of that other class who have been persuaded to believe that as citizens they have no right to defend their country’s honor, that we speak This conglomeration cf opinions of our people on the present situation in this country, is due, in a large de- gree, to the absence of a leader or leaders among our people.

She went on to roast to a white beat two other women for some grievance that nobody cares anything about but themselves. She begins the item by saying: ‘This from me.’’ Such rot as this is not wanted at this office. If you have troubles of your own you must man- age to adjust them out side of this department, We hope this will serve as a reminder to others who have at- tempted and who may hereafter at- tempt to ‘‘roast’’ someone, Again it seems that all such articles of the nature of the one referred to above, have been left at this office to get in- to print without the knowledge of the manager of this department.
