are In favor of this subscription with one
other condition added-that the depot

located in Little Rock or its suburbs,
and not at Argenta. We do not know
that the company has any intention eff
putting these works at Argenta, but
there is a report in circulation to that Of

THE EUREKA CORN PLANTER.

Uses THIS NEW CORN PLANTER,
Just perfected by H. NJ Smith s. CO., accom-.
plishes what has always been a desideratum in
the quantity of seed planted, aud as to the dis.
lance between the hills.
All planters, depending upon a brush to keep
back the corn, are liable to variation, as any
press of the seed causes the brush to yield, and
increases the quantity dropped.
THE EUREKA HAS NO BRUSH. I
A new and simple device supersedes the neces-
siy of it, and insures ABSOLUTE REGU-
LARITY In the Lumber of grains deposited.
1T is THE BEST CORN PLANTER In USE.
The following unsolicited praise, expresses the
opinion of all who have used it:

PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL OF EDU-

ter. A notable article on "Bad English

very common it is to find classcally edu-
Gated men who know very little of their
own language. A really good reader,
talker, or writer, is rare even among gradu-
ates. 1t is properly suggested that in
struction in our admirable mother tongue
should assume higher grade and much
greater thoroughness. "The Hedrens in
Aprt," is a summons to our earth-bound
eyes, to look up to the glory of that "City
Of God" which nightly reveals itself in
celestial splendor over our heads. "Music

showing how valuable this fine art is in

pleasant recreation, and tends to make
the school-room the abode of truth and

civilization and should be thoroughly taught
in every school. "The Co-Educotioa of

Cornell University, given in his own
words. ''Therc is much theoretical OBJ
jecticn to it, but the collated experience is

THE "KANsAs MAGAZINE" for April
shows healthy vitality in the monthly
journalism of the West. 1t contains
large amount of excellent reading matter
1t has fearless Americanism about its
pages, which we like, favored with the
mountains and the plains and the mighty
rivers which sweep through them to the
sea. The East needs this masculine cur
rent of thought in its tardy blood, and we
hope the "Kansas Magazine" will secure
large circulation in the old states. Pub

ed at Baltimore, is live, progressive, agri-
cultural Journal. It's teaching tend to

farmers have in Saving these sources of

preciated by the press. The New York Times
says that these Sketches, "for light, airy, but

the N. Y. Nal says 1t is the best thing he has
written, and the best thing in its way any
American or English magazine has had for many
