. 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. ; '

Thomas -B. Bard, of Ventura. Chosen
as a Candidate The Bums' Forces

; 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

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.

I sent her a severe epistle, as you can
magine, telling her I was; amazejd and
lisappointed at her lack of , common
sense. I wouldn't call ft tact; it was
so obvious. I "advised her to wajt un

SCIENCE OF DREAMS. !
Resultsof a Series f Experiments by.
a German Professor. 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-

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

POLES.
Mexico has a; clever (bird called the
melanarpes, which has discovered a
new use for the telegraph pole- At .the
foot of the post, this bird makes a
large hole, in which it rears its family ;
somewhat -higher up the post it makes
an observatory, front " which bored
holes permit it to observe the horizon
in every direction; still higher this sa
gacious bird makes its '.storehouse, and
thus the pole serves as ts (house, fort
