to the top not ob during the entire sea

have been day in and day out nhead of

that the staple Is consumed here and
in the neighborhood very largely and
our cotton mill officials have bid up
liberally and kept the speculating and
exporting bears in tho background
and on the run. It is fortunate that
our farmers have been able to get the
full value of tholr product almost at
their doors.

Union, Nov. 8.--The rornains of
Mr. dough Farrar reached here
from Pinckney yesterday evening
and were laid away in the Episco
pal graveyard at 11 o'clock this
morning. Mr. Farrar was a very
old man and died of old ago. Ho
was a man who was woll known
and loved over the county. He
was a farmer, and farmed on a
large scale. As a proof of how
dearly he was lovod and esteemed,
the coffin, during the services, was
almost coverod wirh flowers, and
a large crowd assembled to do his
remains reverence. The active pall
beerers wore six of his old darkies,
who had beon with him many,
many years. They carried the
corpse into tho church and re
mained seated near while the ser
vices were performed, and thon
carried him out to tho grave and
laid him to rost. It was a very
touching scone to see theoo old
darkies, who had, perhaps boon
with their master ever since they,
were born, now laying him aiVfiy.
It was not as a master Qirfy that
thoy looked upon Jjjfli* but as one
as raovod hflii-J?vod and rover
Fatlior -?eir lives.

Mr. Young uud somo frlondH bad
been discussing the political outlook
In Kentucky ut Mr. Young's house In
Louisville oue night, Just on the eve of
the Democratic ?tute convention, g?v
oral years ago. When the party broke
up, Mr. Young's daughter, then about
18 years old, now married, who bad
been an Interested listener during the
discussion, spoke up:
"Why don't you run for governor,
pnV"
"Why, my child, they would never
think of mo for that otllee. No ouo
cai'< s enough about n\o for that."
"Hut, pa, would you accept the nomi
nation If it were offered you?"
"Why, of course I would; nobody
would refuse the honor."
Miss Young said no more at the time,
but quietly slipped out of the house
and started In the direction of The
Courier-Journal olliee, Colonel Henry
Watterson being an intimate friend of
the family. It happened that she met
tho veteran odltor In the street.
"Ah, Undo Henry, will you do mo a
favor?" the young woman asked Im?
pulslvoly.
"Anything in the world that I can do
I will."
"Woll, I want pa to be governor of
Kentucky, and can you got bim tho
nomination?"
Colonel Watterson turned back to
the ofllco and sat down and wrote a
spirited editorial, demanding In the In
terests of the Democratic party that
John Brown Young be nominated by
the convention soon to moot. The re
sult was In accordance with the noted
editor's wishes, Mr. Young's election
being a foregone conclusion.?Chicago

"So you thluk that little eels are
sweet and that big eels are rank and
strong, do you?" said a llsh dealer.
"Well, you're off. It isn't tho size of
the eel that governs htti taste. It Is his
habitation and way of life. But most
people think as you do, and throw
away the big oel and cook the little
one, and then, If the little fellow is
strong, they think it Is because he
wasn't little enough. Nothing could bo
further from the truth.
"Tho eel that inhabits a. stream with
a hard, clean, sandy bottom Is sweet
and edible, bo he as big ^us your leg
or tiny as your linger, for this eel finds
food senrce, and he must exercise and
keep sober and hustle?else he will
starve?and this active career makes
him healthy and wholesome. But the
eel that lives In the mud, where pro
visions are plentiful, is unlit for the ta
ble, for his life Is sluggish, his habits
and organs are bad and his llesh, when
cooked, tastes and smells of the muddy
element. That Is why tho Schuyklll eol
Is worse than carrion for table pur
poses, while the eel of the upper Dela
ware makes a dainty dish."?Philadel

More MUch Thun You Can Count.
Statements as to the distance of tho
pole star from tho earth which have
appeared In some of the newspapers
lately havo been ridiculously Inade
quate. One of tho estimates mude is
255,000,000 miles. Now, If ouo will re
member that tho sun is 03,000,000 miles
away and that Its light comes to us In
eight minutes, he will see that If tho
foregoing estimate of the distance of
the polo star were tight its beams
could reach us In about 10 days. It
would be only about 2,700 times as far
off as the sun.
Light travels 0,000,000,000,000 miles
in a year, and even tho most modest
guesses ns to tho parallax of Polaris
make it 35 light years. Prltchnrd's es
timate In 1887 was 00 light years, but
he has since modified his llgurcs.
Hence, If one will write 210 and add 12
ciphers thereto he will have the num
ber of miles which the most conserv
ative authorities believe intervene be
tween the earth and tho polo star.?

A paper entitled "Shakespeare and
Sanitation" was read at the recent
provincial meeting of tho Incorporated
Society of Medical Otflcers of Health
at Stratford-on-Avon. Among other
things the author related the follow
ing: "It Ib Interesting to find that the
name of John Shakespeare, the father
of the poet, first appears in tho records
of tho municipality as owing a fine of
twopence for having made a dirt heap
with his neighbors, Adrien Quincy and
Henry Reynolds, In Henly street, and
on another occasion he 'stood amerced'
in fourpence for failing to keep bis
gutter clean."
