FRANKFORT,. Ky., Feb. 2 Th first clash between the executive and the judiciary powers of the state oc curred today. A still greater clash-is imminent tomorrow, and beyond the possibilities of tomorrow lies a sea with ikies so lowering and of so stormy an -aspect that no politician of either party canpredict where it ?wllVarry Ken tucky's ship of state. There can b no longer any .concealment of 4hej fact that affairs in this state are bordering upon a conflict in arms, and the be sinning of a crisis is at hand. ! The, clash of today came when an officer of Jhe circuit court of Franklin county was arrested by the military, while attempting to serve notice !of a legal proceeding upon Governor Tay lor. The clash ot tomorrow "may come when the officers of that court' attempt to enforce the ruling of its presiding iidge. Behind this- judge the demo crats will have tomorrow, for the; first time, an active executive head in the person of Acting Governor Beckham, and from the "democratic standpoint a regularly appointed adjutant general. whose orders the troops now encamp ed around the capitol building are bound to obey? , t if they decline ; to obey, the newadiutant general, he win have power to organize military forces of his own, and proceed against all the people who defy the authority of his office and that of the governor of the state. . ' - : : On the other hand the republicans "arc fixed in their attitude that there is an .insurrection in the state; that Beck- ham and Impactions, his adjutant 'gen eral and his orders are those of people acting in opposition to law. They be lieve that they alone are in the fight and as there can be but one right an J all else . wrong, " those,, who show re? "sistance ; to the proclama ions of Gov ernor Taylor, arc in rebellion against the commonwealth. They will resist any attempt of . any kind tx remove them from their position around the caprtol, resisting fojrce wfh force,; and that means civil -wat. I I The first clash of today came whefn Atoneo Walker, a stenographer i em ployed by .the democratic: attorneys. was' placed" 'under arrest In tne capitof grounds charged with conduct tending to incite mutiny and riot. Hisi conduct consisted in nailing upon ithef door of Governor Taylor's private office a notice that tomorrow; morn ing the democratic at tortuys would appear before Judge Cantrill, of ,the circuit court, and ask for an in junctionrestraining Governor Taylor from all interference with the move ments of the legislature, and from liis announced attempt to remove it to London in this state. J Tomorrow an injunction will be ask ed, and there is no doubt but that it will.be granted. It is equally certain , that the; .republicans will pay! no at , tentioh to Judge Canrrifl or his writs. The democratic members of ihej leg islature today effected a regular or ganization. For thef first time since the swrearfing in of Governor Goebel, a secret session of the members of both houses was held, in one of the parlors of the Capitol' hotel, at whkti the elec tion of Goebel as governor, and Beck ham as lieutenant governor, w"as reaf firmed, first in separate sessions of the house and senate, and afterward in joint session. Preceding thrs a rewir-I of $ 50.000, Jor the arrest and convic tion of the would-be assassin" -of Gov ernor Goebel, was talked of. ; ' WILL ATTACK THE BOERS GENERAL BULLER EXPECTED TO MAKE AN EFFORT : To Break Through the Enemy's Lines and Relieve Lady smith Work in Cape Colony. i LONDON.

V0T1N6 fOR SEN AT OH Thomas -B. Bard, of Ventura. Chosen as a Candidate The Bums' Forces Are" Fighting Angrily." ; SACRiAMENTO. Cal.. Feb. 2 This afternoon forty-one republican members of the legislature, who had been voting against Colonel Burns, met and agreed to vote W Thomas B. Bard, of Ventura, for senator in tiie caucus this evening. The Burns forces sent a committee He the caucus which none of the Burns men had attend, to protest against the causus being held unless sixty-one members, a majority of the legislature, were present. Thomas Flint, chairman of the caucus, ruled that a majority of the eightyvej who had signed the caucus call constituted a quorum, and as the meeting was an- adjourned one from that heki last night, all would be bound by its decisions. The Burns committee left the room, leaving fifty-two members present A vote was taken which resulted in Bard receiving fifty Votes and Grant, two. Bard was declared to be "the nominee of. the caucus. It is : understood the Burns forces will refuse to recognize the nomination. SUGAR AS FOOD. Official German Reports Commend It in the Highest Terms. I mentioned some time ago that elab orate experiments had been "made in Germany with a view to ascertaining the effect of feeding troops on sugar The oBject was to fest the advantage of a sugar diet, in cases , where great exertions have to be made within-a brief period. According to the f re ports submitted by the surgeons and generals, the experiments conducted in the various army corps have had a ve ry favorable result. Professor Pfuhl who was formerly assistant to Profess or Koch, and is at present the head of the physiological laboratory; of thr army, states that it is proved that a sugar diet increases the muscular pow er in comparatively a very short time, and in a considerably shorter time than white"' of. egg. the effect of which however, is more lasting, though sugar has the advantage of being much cheap er. The extraordinary, rapidity with which sugar is absorbed by the body expTalns the rapid effect' on the nefv ous system, which is of the, greatest importance in all cases where a speedy bodily recuperation is desired, as, for nstance, in long-distance marching. Professor Pf uhlj in a series of success ful experiments! with sugar on his own person, has found that, after long walks three or feur lumps of sugar removed all feeling of lassitude, -and to a cer tain extent restored elasticity in the. muscles, .this effect being frequently produced in the short spae. of -quarter of an hour. He is of opinion that artificial substitutes for sugar, such as saccharin, etc., have not at all the same effect. ; . . ' ;- . 1. i With regard I to the experiments made by civilian doctors, I may men2 tion that Professors Senator and Munlc the eminent physiologists of the Ber lin university, have come to the con clusion that sugar has a high , nutritive value" as the purest and most easily soluble hydrate of carbon. A certain minimum of albumen, differing accord ing to certain Cases, must be supplied to the body in any circsmstir-ces, and cannot be replaced even by sugar. But sugar as food rfor the people is very valuable, both on account of its cheap ness and the ease with which it is man ufactured, Artificia substitutes, how even, canj in. no way replace sugar asj food.- Berlin j Correspondence Paris Messenger.; THE NEED OF RELIGIOUS RE VIVAL. United and earnest prayer is this wee k being offered unto God for a re vival of pure and undehled religion. This is the conscious , need in the hearts of God's . people. There is much religious sloth and widespread spiritual declension. The causes "A of this condition have been long and wide ly discussed in; the public prints and from the pulpit and platform, and the remedies for it have received no little attention.' When reduced to the final analysis, it will be found that sin is the cause of it all. and repentance ; the only remedy. And just so soon as the ''urch by thorough heart-searching and prayerful confession, and unfeigned repentance, and absolute renunciation of evil, presents herself before God. will he bestow I the revival blessing . so much needed, and which is coming to be more and more desired and sought. The present spiritual status of the church, calls for this preliminary and fundamental work within ; herself. if J she would addtess herself effectually to the great causd of the world-wide evan-gelization.--rhxistian Intelligencer. TACT WINS EVERY TIME. .' You May Be ! Ug'y and Even Stupid, but That Doesn't Count. . A woman of social position who has introduced more than one young wo man to thii "right people" was com plaining the other day of the average girl's lackof diplomacy. "I can't t do more than introduce her, advise her antT'push herj ahead," she said, "and wjien she fails! to become a fixed staEr, through inability to observe the sim plest rules of common sense, why, I caB it downright ingratitude. Most girls are social failures through their own- faults' -They may be ugly and stupid and even poor, but there are "gly. stupid and poor women in New York who have enviable social dispo sitions. On the other hand, a girl may' have friends and clothes and books, and be an uncertain ? quantity serially, Just, for want of tact. It makes roe particularly indignant; jt at this season, ! when smart palmare being given and house parties are, being or ganized. Why, some of theswomen in vited to them are hopelessly dull, just the sort of persons not to have in a country house or at a smart darlce. Why. are they asked? Because th;y have wit; not humor, or repartee, i or conversational powers, but mother-wit that. warns them what to say and when, and what not to say and to whom.1 No calling requires greater skill or tact than that of guest, and no calling brings greater compensation Why, being a guest at certain houses means a social position for life in some in stances, not to speak of the pleasures i and privileges of being a guest in these i luxi?noi:s days.

She was elated, too, and wrote to me about it I sent her a severe epistle, as you can magine, telling her I was; amazejd and lisappointed at her lack of , common sense.

I Sleep is not "the brother, of death," as the poets have said, from Homer '.o Shelley; but, on the contrary, "Sleep is the brother of life." So Professor Baschide asserts, who, in an article1 in the Uaturwissenschaftliche Rundschau, gives an account of his . "experiinents upon thirty-six dreamers." His Isnb jects were 'Of various ages, from I one year to eighty years. In some casek his observations were continued diiring the whole night, and in others far .a great part of the night He watched and recorded every change aLphysJog- nomy, every movement ot the limbs, and every speech or sound uttered by the unconscious dreamers. The depth of the sleep was also carefully meas ured, while from time to ; time ( the dreamers . were awakened, but without their own perception that the awaken ings was intentional. The professor ob tained, as he writes at length, thej fol- lowing results: Ci) We dream 'throkigh? aeepest sieeo wnicn we imagint to w , .. . . . . dreads" . Th U an inlima connection Wtwn ih..

In a light sleep on the contrary, the subject of, the dream re lates to the experiences and exjcite ments of the day, and has a character of probability. (3) In a comatose ileep the. professor thinks there may iper haps be no dreaming. (4) Persons fwho assert that they do not dream " arc the victims of physical ' delusion.' .' (5) Dreams , of a moderate character re main longest in the memory; the wild er the dream the sooner it is forgotten. London News. Pictures of Electricity. ; The photography of lightninig is science's latest achiievement. These are called "electrograp'hs," and are consid ered of great value in the future knowl edge of electricity. It is well known that-a person struck by lightning bears an impression resembling a tree. The eleqtrograph has proved that this is because lightning itself has a tree-like shape, which always leaves a vivid im- ptcssion wherever it strikes. In this respect it is similar to the famous med icine, Hostetter's .Stomach Bitters, which' also leaves its iirfpression 4that of health upon every one who use's it. This great specific is for all stomach illsj such - as, dyspepsia, -constipation, biliousness, 'malaria,9 ; kfdney trouble, and all ailments which arjse from ) im paired digestion. It will not offend the weakest stomach. " ;. - " ' VEST WAS DISCOMFITED.. (St. .Louis Republic.) ! "After Vest returned frcm the. South he commenced the practice of law at Sedalia with John F.
