The court at Richmond having decided that school teachers hnvo a perfect right to whip pupils for playing "hookey," boys will bo firmly opposed to the observance of Arbor Day hereafter. W. P. Vaughn, of Richmond, is fifty yours old, six feet tall and weighs only about ninety pounds. Mr.

Vaughn is not the man who edits the thin column of the Register of that city. Ho is the articulated, animated skeleton who travels with John Robinson's shows. Tiik organization of a company to establish a shoe factory at Georgetown, 0., has stimulated the enterprising citizens of that place to further industrial improvements, and a move is now being made to incorporate a stock company with a capital of $20,000 to enlarge and operate the woolen mill at that place. We are glad to note tins activity at Georgetown. Maysville people could learn a lesson from the Georgetown folks.

Dittok, of the State Journal, thinks "these be troublous times" for the Republicans, and he's right. He' says the G. O. P. politicians and newspapers in large cities are telling the people that the McKinley tariff of 5 cents a dozen on eggs has not raised the price of that commodity, while the country people are told it has raied the price.

With all scheming the Republicans can't please enough of both sides to catch enough rotes to save the party from going under. Ik half the reports are true, the recent railroad election in Harrison was one of the most corrupt that over occurred. The Democrat says: "Iioodlo was 'out of it was claimed that $75 was paid for votes. The results show the total number of votes cast to be 4,017. At the last August election the total number of votes cast in the county was It is claimed that from 400 to 500 illegal votes were cast in the railroad election.

Had there not been any money used the proposition would have carried." Cost of the Constitutional Convention. The Constitutional convention finished its work last night and adjourned until next September. It has cost the State, approximately, $130,753, not including printing, mileage, stationery, coal and gas. The expense is for the following items: Per diems, President's salary, three clerks, Ser-geant-at-Arms and Doorkeeper, janitors, $3,003 pages, $5,194 librarian, $500; preachers, $000; copying $800; rents, $-300 cloakroom-keeper, $9(S3, and incidentals, $1(50. The cost of printing and mileage will probably run the total Jip to $200,000.

i Eglantine. The chestnut filly Eglantine by Ilum-Tmno, dam Ella G. by George Wilkes, noxt fivo dams thoroughbreds. Eglantine is a full sister to Delmarch, Wilkes Hrino, 2:23, and is considered by her breeder equally as fast as either of the above. This fine mare was purchased Thursday by Mr.

James W. Fitzgerald of Mr. M. L. Ilaro, of Indianapolis, for a Yery prominent Mason County gentlemanname not learned.

The price is not given out, but it was way up. She will be trained this season at the Limestone Stock Farm, and will be bred to Alcandre. What is the Purpose of Kindergarten Education? It is to afford children all proper, rational enjoyment to supply them with toys and games, to sing with them, to play with them, tho toys, games, songs and plays being all covert vehicles of instruction. It is to promote children's healthy activity; later to awaken their imagination gradually to the influence of tho beautiful, the true, and tho good; to stimulate tlit'ir imitative and inventive capacity; to aid thu development of their reason, anil to give those powers free exorcise ami a right direction. it is to prevent any undue strain on children's powers, mental or physical, to teach by means of object lessons conveyed in plays rather than by books.

It is to form a well-balanced mind, to discern and bring out gently, but surely, any latent aptitude for intellectual acquirements, artistic gifts or manual skill. It is to partially relieve parents of tho charge of their very young children for part of tho clay, and during thnt time to train them properly. Tt is finally to prepare children for ficliool, to fit them for learning more readily, to sow tho first seeds that are to produce adults of sound mind in a sound body, good citizens and true christians. Miss Nellio Marsh, of Paris, is in town with a view of oponing a school on tho Kindergarten plan. A NOTABLE AMUSEMENT EVENT.

Solomon, His Temple, and the Quoen of Shoba. John Robinson's ever popular- shows como to us this year with such important accessions and augmentations as to overshadow all cotemporary amusement ventures. They have not only materially strengthened their ring and hippodrome performances and added largely to their already vast menagerie, but are producing an astounding now feature, which can not but commend itself to all classes of patrons. Wo allude to the grand biblical spectacle of "Solomon, his Temple, and tho Queen of Sheba." Faithful in scenic delineations, realistic in depiction of incidents and events, impressively grand in pageantic effects, magnificent in costumes and appointments, entrancing in musical features, and exciting in games and chariot races, this unprecedentedly sublime spectacle will commend itself to every visitor. Ah a contrast to this notably artistic production, and for the especial edification and delight of the younger members of the audience, the mirth-provoking and ever acceptable pantomime of Ilumpty Dumpty, his Fortunes, Misfortunes and Mishaps," will find place in tho programme of the Robinson show, and will be presented by an unexceptionable company of especially engaged skilled and comic pantomimists, and replete with new, original and highly diverting tricks, transformations and surprises.

The show will exhibit here May 0th. The Railways. The Louisville Commercial says either John II. Milliken or Captain Sam Morse will be Captain S. S.

Parker's successor as Division Passenger agent of the L. and X. at Cincinnati. The Gould party, which passed over the C. and O.

road Sunday last, have ad vised President Ingalls that they were much pleased with tho physical condition of the property, and really surprised at its excellence. Mr. Wood, Third Vice President of tho L. and Mr. Lewis Hood, Superintendent, and Mr.

Brent Arnold, General Freight Agent, of same road, came in yesterday morning on a special and spent a few hours hero on business. It is reported the L. and N. authorities will put an extra train on the Maysville branch, which will leave Maysville.every morning at 2 o'clock and run through to Louisvillo without change, and return late in the evening, giving passengers tho benefit of six or seven hours in tho city. Bourbon News.

River News. The City of Carrollton may bo placed in tho Portsmouth trade temporarily when the Sherley is sent to the bone-yard." The Sherley for Portsmouth at 9 p. m. and the Bonanza for Pomeroy and Hudson for Pittsburg at 12 are due up to-night. The Batchelor will pass down this evening and is the Sunday night packet for Pittsburg.

The Bostona and Scotia will pass down Sunday. A special from Carrollton says "An exciting warfare has been inaugurated between the United States Mail Lino Company and the Browns, who run the little steamer Hattio Brown. It was precipitated by the company putting the little steamer Lee II. Brooks in opposition to the Brown between Warsaw, and Madison, Ind. Tho Brooks has been carrying passengers for nothing, and the feeling is pretty high.

Tho Brown is well grounded in public favor, and tho contest will likely be protracted." Stock and Crop. Jas. McLeod, of Bourbon County, has sold twenty fat cattle, July delivery, at $4.75 per fat hogs, May delivery, at $4 per and his lambs for July 1st delivery, at $4 per head. The Owen News reports tho following sales of tobacco in that county tho past week, 2,000 pounds at 124 and 0 cents; 10,000 pounds at 12 cents for all but 500 pounds and 0 cents for that; 3,000 pounds at 10, 8 and 2 cents 5,000 at 10 cents and 8,000 at 10 cents for all but the sp'odgc, and 5 cents for that. Concert.

Miss Lelia Wheeler, one of Maysvillo's sweetest singers, will give a concert at tho opera house noxt Wednesday night. Sho will bo assisted by Misses Verity and Marsh, vocalists, and by Miss Rodgors, a fine elocutionist. Misses Wheeler, Verity and Marsh are all pupils of tho Conservatory of Music, and tho Cincinnati papers compliment their singing very highly. Tho entertainment promises to be a thoroughly enjoyable one. Admission, 25, 35 50 cents.

Real Estate Transfers. Huldah Knott and Millio Knott to Mary A. Proctor, lots 81 and 82 and tho west half of No. 83 in Woodvillo consideration, $390. Sarah Miller to Eliza Ann Mearns, house and lot on north side of Second street, Fifth ward; consideration, $1,500.

NATURAL HISTORY. SECOND PAPER. Continuation of "The Hen." Woman, spare that hen, Touch not a ainglo feather, You'd cook her flesh, eat ft up, Then sell her skin for leather. Our admiration for tho hen constrains us to a continuation of her. Sho is a pro lific subiect she crows upon us.

In fact from the moment of her (-citing debut into chirping chickenhood she grows upon us. Sho spreads. All this gush about the "spread eagle" is twaddle. Tho old bald- headed kidnapper is not a circumstance' to her. Whon it comes to straight, old-fashioned, all-round spreading, sho can como just about as near doing as much of it as a horse blanket as any of 'em.

Don't you remember the boy who put a hundred eggs under tho hen? When his mother asked him why he did it, he replied that ho wanted to sec her "spread herself." Sho spreads "from the earth all 'round to tho sea she is from ocean to ocean. She roosts on the international clothes lino that tho Canada women and ours hang out their washings on. She takes her ducklets surf bathing in the gulf of Mexico. She abounds in traits and qualities that appeal to tho admiration of all lovers of tho beautiful and tho good. In repose she is gentle of manner and amiable of disposition in a degree that should be the envy of her human sisters, in whom these graces are what perfume is to the flower, and which makes them, indeed, "rarest, fairest flowers." Under just provocation, however, she is as brave as a Spartan.

In fact, to see her with wings akimbo, feathers awry, with head down, and under full, mad charge, phe is hedge-hog, porcupine, bombshell and buzz saw in one volume. She is patriotic. She will die in defense of her fireside, against man, beast or hawk, who is first cousin to the "proud bird of America." But her "onery" husband is a white-livered coward, unless he is a thoroughbred and is challenged by some other blue-blood, and is armed with forty-four-calibre Smith Wesson gaflles, and a duel is arranged, with backers, in a pit of honor. The hen is a moral bird, as she evidences when the preacher comes. When she hears him click tho latch of the front gate, she clucks the call for the family to assemble.

A moment is spent in silence and then they wing up a tree where they remain in roverential silence until he is seen going to the next neighbor's. We nominate her to be tho National bird on our great American trade mark, in place of tho eagle, who is a barren ideality. The hen is emblematic of all sentiment that is true and noble. She stands for morality, industry, patriotism, courage and honor. Put her on the National shield, standing above a nest, which shall have represented in it as many, eggs as there are States in the Union, with the name of a State on eacli egg, and standing upon the edge of the nest thirteen little chicks representative of the original colonies.

We hereby call a convention of all tho people of tho Union to be held at the foot of Bunker Hill on the 4th day of noxt to confirm this nomination. Uncle Sam will preside, and the formal presentation of her name will bo made by Miss Hail Columbia. Tho nomination will then be made by acclamation and confirmed by the deposit of one egg in Uncle Sam's hat by Miss Hail. Miss Dorking, who will bo there as lay delegate, will cackle acknowledgement on behalf of all hendom in clear hen tongue. It will then only remain for the public functionaries to make the official change, whon a new era of prosperity will begin.

Can any one deny that there is a happy hereafter for hens whereon fame's cturnul roosting ground, Folded In silence every wing- No hungry hawks will hover around, Nor angry cooks their heads will wring? The Con. Con. will be memorialized for tho enactmont of a provision making it a high misdemeanor to sell a hen-skin to a tanner. This is out of respect to the hen, and to prevent tho manufacture and sale of hen-skin footwear, as well as imposition upon the people. In tho highest grade of kip, calf, kangaroo, kid, cordovan, goat and all true leathers, we are showing the finest lines, varieties and styles overseen iji this market, with qualities guaranteed, at a saving of 25 per cent.

Como and seo our uncqualed spring showing. C. Hark- ley's Spot Cash Shoe Store, i To the Ladies. Miss Niland nnnounces her annual spring and sutnmer opening for Tuesday, April 14th.
