Governor Blackburn, of Kentucky,
Igainst whom th® charge of outrageously
ibusing the pardoning power has been so
videly published, and for which charges
there seemed to be some ground, ha*
made the following reply in hi* annual
message. It vividly portrays th® horror*
which criminals in Kentucky have been
compelled to endure:
“When I cam* into th* Executive office there
were nine hundred and sixty-nine convicts in
the penitentiary, and only seven hundred and
eighty (780) cells, and these oeUs were but three
feet nine iuches wide, six feet three inches high
and six feet eight inohes long. In a word, there
were 189 more prisoners than cells: and when
you put these int® cells with others you
had 878 men, in a cell onl/ three feet
nine inches wide. They were dying at a fear
ful rate, and I determined that the State Peni
tentiary should not be a charnel house. Yes,
I was determined that this should not b. It
was a disgrace to the State. Again, many men
are fined for slight offenses, even some for
trivial amusements, where nominal wagers are
laid, without any intention of violating law.
This ought not to be ; but these annoyano**
will occur so long as our Commonwealth’s At
torneys have parts and portions of tke
fines assessed. Most of our Prosecuting
Attorneys are honorable men, but occa
sionally one may be found, who at all
times is prying into the most trivial
matters to find out the trifling
offenses of some fellow-citizens, that he may
put a little money in his pocket. I earnestly
r ecoinmend that our Commonwealth’s Attor
neys be paid fair salaries out of the Public
Treasury ; that they be not driven to the miser
able necessity of hunting out the small pecadil
loes of their fellow-men, that they may profit
by their fines and forfeitures. I may, perhaps,
have used the pardonimr power somewhat too
ireely; but many men who blame me would,
perchance, have done just as I did if they had
all the evidence before them on which I acted,
ihe fee system should be abolished as far as
possible. I do not believe that any State
Prosecutor should be pecuniarily interested in
the result of any suit on behalf of the State.”
The Attitude of Canada*
The jPall Mall Gazette, whose utter-
ISheeS are almost official, is of the opinion
the United
"the pQpular feeling of' Canada to-day. A
few years ago it was quite different.
The Canadians were superloyal and the
annexationists, even then it large body,
were the objects of popular hatred and
contempt, but during the past two de
cades, the trade relations between the
United States and the Dominion have
grown closer and closer until the two
countries are now commercially one.
The grand trunk of railway of Canada
lies hilf in the United States and half in
Canada. Portland, Me., during the
greater portion of the year is the ship
ping port for Canadian produce, and the
Canadian telegraph system is now but a
branch of the Western Union. All these
circumstances work injuriously to the
interests of the Canadians. They see
that they would be greatly benefited by
. annexation and, as a consequence, are
becoming anxious for the union. What
has hitherto prevented this movement
from taking some regular shape are the
politicians and officeholders. Canada
has more politics to the square mile than
any other country on the face, of the
globe. It has an elaborate judiciary and
all the government of a large
empire. Union, with this country,
would sweep away all these officials,
and, as a consequence, they oppose it.
The Pall Mall Gazette does not say
how Great Britain would regard the
secession of its A merican domain, but the
cooi and careless manner in which it
treats the subject is good evidence that
the British lion would not roar very
loud should the Kanucks see fit to sever
their allegiance with the mother country.
Who Was Nemisis!
In Grecian mythology Nemesis was a
female divinity who appears to have
been regarded as the personification of
the righteous anger of the gods. Sho i
represented as inflexibly severe to the
proud and insolent. According to He
siod, she was the daughter of Night,
though she is sometimes called a daugh
ter of Erebus or of Oceanus. The
Greeks believed that the gods were ene
mies excessive human happiness, and
that there was a power that preserved a
proper compensation in human affairs
from which it was impossible for the
sinner to escape. This power was em
bodied in Nemesis, and she was in an
especial manner the avenger of family
crimes and the humbler of the overbear
ing. There was a celebrated temple
sacred to her at Rhamnus, one of the
boroughs of Attica, about sixty stadia
distant from Marathon ; the inhabitants
of that place considered her the daugh
ter of Oceanus. to a myth
preserved by Pausanias, Nemesis was
the mother of Helen by Jupiter, and
Eeda, the reputed mother of Helen by
Jupiter, was only in fact her nurse, but
this mvth seems to have been invented
in later times to represent the divine
vengeance which was inflicted on the
Greeks and Trojans through the instru
mentality of Helen.

The Man at th® Junction.
Six railway passenger* were put down
at a junction to wait for a cross-line
train. The little depot was the only build
ing in sight, and the man in charge of it
was not a telegraph operator. He simply
kept the station-honse and flagged the
trains, and he was no more responsible for
the running of trains than the Tycoon of
Japan. Every one of the six realized
this, and yet it wasn’t over two minutes
before one of the passengers approached
him and asked:
“ Is that train on time?”
“I guess so.”
“You guess so! Don’t you know ?”
“No, sir. ,
“You don’t, eh? Then how do you
know it isn’t an hour late ?”
“ I don’t.”
“Don’t, eh? Well, if that train’s late,
you’ll—”
Here he was elbowed away by the old
woman who made up the six, and who
wanted to know :
“ Will I git home to-day ?*’
“I guess so.”
“The train stops here, does it?”
“Yes’m.”
“Stops long enough for me to git on? ’
“Ob, yes.”
“ Well, m bbe it does, but if it don't
you’ll bear from us !”
She gate place to a man who had
looked at his watch three times in six
minutes, and who sternly asked :
“Did I understand that we were to
wait here two hours?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Is it two hours before that train
crosses here ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“ Whereabouts on tho line is the train
now'.”
“I don’t know.”
“ Why don’t you telegraph?”
“We have no instrument here,”
“Haven’t, eh! That’s a pretty state
of affairs ! Two long hours, and perhaps
four ! Now, then, if—”
Here he was called away by the blow
ing of a saw-mill whistle, aa the most
peaceful-looking man in the crowd edged
up aud inquired:
“ Train on time ?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Does it cross here?’*
“Yes, sir.”

“Always.”

“Do you’spose I’ll miss the train?”

“for if you do I shall take to the woods!”

Cruelty to Fish.
Talking with a gentleman of 84 years
—a man of great experience in practical
life, and withal one of humane instincts
and principles—we gathered many in
teresting suggestions and ideas, that
would be worth repeating. Among oth
er tilings, he referred to a lifelong prac
tice he had always observed.- In catch
ing fish, he never failed to kill them im
mediately upon drawing them out of the
water, which is their natural element.
Every boy knows this fact, yet hardly
one in a hundred stops to think that a
living fish, deprived of the peculiar
means of respiration that the water fur
nishes, must suffer similarly to a human
being cut off from its usual supply of
atmospheric air. Death by suffocation
is regarded as terrible, and a fish out of
water, being deprived of the oxygen
that sustains its blood, doubtless suffers
intensely. It is the easiest thing to kill
a fish, either by striking it a slight blow
upon th head or on Hi not ils thrrwo*. It
is well known that the flesh of ani
mals wounded and then left to
die is unfit for food, and experi
enced fishermen say that a fish
should be killed immediately on being
caught in order to render it fit for the
table. But, aside from the question of
food, the subject should be considered
as one of principle. We know by the
fierce struggles of the captive fish it is in
severe pain, and humanity dictates that
it should be speedily put out of misery.
We have no right to inflict needless
suffering upon any. creature, and the
torture of a fish is quite as bad as,the
torture of a dog or a home. Nearly
every day during the fishing season may
be observed boys carrying large strings
of fish through the streets, the move
ments of which show that they are alive
and in great pain and misery. In most
cases this is Hie result of thoughtless
ness or ignorance. Most boys would
dislike to be thought cruel, and, if they
were instructed by their parents and
others on this subject, would probably
follow tile rule of humanity in the treat
ment of fishes, as tlmy do in the care of
domestic animals. We trust our young
friends who read this article will hot
only follow these suggestions themselves,
but will try to induce their companions
to do likewise —Humane Journal.
