and weakens the FIBER like wax before
the FIRE; sometimes education begun so
early aud pushed so far that the over
strained brain gives way, and the youth
ful prodigy drones through life as n ma
turc Ounce, maybe an idiot, or maybe
flashes out altogether in brain fever. All
these ore the methods employed so un-
consciously, yet so criminally, by doting
mothers, whereby 10 murder their young
and make their own lives desolate. But
who can interfere2 Children are bern
into the world for the pleasure of their
parents, not for the good Of society,
nor for their own well being. Fathers
and mothers are absolute; aud, provided
there is no malice and no direct action,
they are able to kill their children indi-
rectly and by ignorance, without pre-
vention or rebuke.
II this is so Of parents, il is equally so
Of schoolm asters and schoolmistresses
The marvel is here, not how many chill
dren die, but how many escape. Work
houses are under (assumed) competent
supervision, so are madhouses, so are
PRISONS but schools, where the young
receive their lifes permanent impress,
are left out as beyond the range Of in
quiry altogether, save in that queer jum-
Die Of inconsistent half-truths we call
education; and the master and mistress
may kill the children intrusted to their
care with untroubled consciences. Dor
mitories crowded from end to end and
utterly unventilated; poor food and n
meager supply of it for growing boys and
girls whose vital energies are taxed at
all points, long hours of study, and the
smallest possible amount Of time for
freedom; rough play not efficiently su-
perintended that kind Of insidious fore
shadowing Of death called delicacy Of
constitution " utterly ignored and unpro-
vided for-these, and more than these,
are Just so many acts and means Of
murder which the world smiles at and
suffers TO exist unrestrained, and even
pays handsomely those who thus make
it their trade to destroy. ALI these
things are remediable. We want only
common sense to perceive and determi-
nation TO discourage these methods of
unconsidered murders. When we have
decided on their destruction we shall
have fulfilled our decisien. Meanwhile
Calcraft avenges society on the least
guilty-measuring extent of guilt by
direct means is punished, he who Stays
his tens and his twenties by indirect
means goes scot free, and is often only
known as an honor to his profession.

State. They are situated Mt about sixty
miles distant from Little Rock. There
are more than one hundred springs Of
different temperatures, from l35 to l6O
degrees Of Fahrenheit. These springs
are visited annually by thousands Of peo-
pie. Among these curiosities is cold
spring in such close proximity 10 hot
one, so that a person may put one hand
into cold water and the other into
hot. The scenery Of Arkansas is
in places very ine. The climate Of the
State varies. In the northern portion il
resembles that Of the Northwestern
States, while in the south and east il
partakes Of that Of Louisiana. The
mean temperature Of the winter months
is about forty.fve degrees, and that Of
the hottest summer months about eighty.
The soil also varies; along the river IL
consists of the richest black mould.
Much Of the land, with proper drainage,
would be far more highly productive.
Some portions Of the State are we'll
adapted for grazing and also for wheat
growing. The tops of the hills, many
Of them, bear heavy growth OF timber.
Among the products Of Arkansas are
Indian corn, cotton and live stock aud
considerable quantities Of wheat, oats,
tobacco, wool, peas, beans, sweet pota-
toes, Irish potatoes, fruits, garden veg
etables, butter, hay, rice, beeswax and
honey, with some rye, barley, buckwheat,
wine, cheese, grass seeds, hops, hemp
and flax. Among the forest trees may
be mentioned cottonwood, ash, cypress,
gum, hickory, different kinds Of oak,
pine, black walnut, gum, cherry, red ce-
dar, dogwood, maple, beech, poplar, bols
dare, sassafras and black locust. Ar
kansas is not extensively engaged in
manufactures. The principal are saw
mills, -four and meal establishments and
leather manufactures. Lumber, cotton,
slaughtered animals and Indian corn are
great articles Of export.-1He South.

This is French tragedy: Two part
ners in the vino trade were in financial
difficulties, and many angry interviews
occurred between the parties. Wishing
to put an end to one of these scenes M.
Descazeau was about to withdraw from
his spartners presence, when M. Duplonx,
in a frenzy of passion, rushed upon him
with knife and stabbed him in the side
The victim fell, and the assassin stabbed
himself three or four times in the abdo-
men. he then rushed up stairs, opened
the window, and after driving the knife
up to the hilt through his left cheek,
threw himself into the court. A woman
employed in the house had heard the
noise and rushed out to ascertain its
cause just as Duploux was falling. His
body struck her and she was felled to
the ground. Her left arm was broken
and she was otherwise greatly injured.
Madame Duploux, q young and pretty
woman, also rushed out at this moment,
and was so affected by the horrible sight
that she is said to have lost her reason.

How a Girl Helps clean House

FROM t0o lcTTc EApTtes.l
She is perfectly willing to help. She
tells her neither that she would just as
lief stay home a week as not, and in.
forms her teacher, with a semi-triumph-
ant air, that she has to stay at home
next week to help clean house. The
carpets are to be taken up first, and that
girl, delicately reared though she be,
bravely sits down in the middle of the
floor, and reads paper, while her
mother and hired girl takes out the tacks
and makes frantic efforts to use the
same form of common prayer that the
head of the house uses when his boots
don't come on easily in the morning.
The carpet is rolled up and taken out
into the back yard and hung on the
clothes line to be busted. Now that girl
comes out strong and shows the latent
energy that is in her. She seizes an old
broom and starts toward that swinging
carpet with an air Of determination. On
her way she spies her friend Kate pass
ing, and goes off to the side fence to
talk about an hour and half about
well, about whatever girls do talk about
under the same circumstances. Then
she goes into the house and eats her
dinner and complains of being
tired. In the afternoon she be-
gins dusting and arranging the
books in the bookcase. She finds, pretty
soon, one of Ouida's novels and sits down
on the floor to read, while the ink, from
a bottle she knocks over when she throws
her duster on the table, runs all over the
parlor curtains stuffed under the chair
near by. Her mother finds her here and
sends her into the parlor to gather up
her music ready for to morrows cam
paign. She gets along we'll enough with
her finger exercises and marches, but
presently she comes across Don't be
Angry with Me, Darling" that Robert
gave her last week, and begins to hum it.
She opens the piano to find the keynote,
to be certain she can take the high note
nicely, and begins to sing. 1t don't
sound we'll without the accompaniment
that Robert thought was so sweet, so she
sits down and begins to play. While she
is practicing Robert comes along. He
hears her; he stops he. enters. She
stops. He wants to hear that sweet
song. Came in only for that. She is
too hoarse. She couldn't think of sing
ing with her hair tied up in a towel-but
she does. Robert sighs as the song ends,
and she proposes game of croquet.
They 60 out and play croquet till tea
time.

The Democratic and so-called s'Inde-

The Democratic and so-called ';1nde
pendent" press are furiously indignan
over the arrest, by order OF Admira
Selfridge Of that alleged swind!er, Bo
hemian Bosart. A sudden howl arises
from the moral depths from which come:
the periodical eush of reform ana
! the Government. is denounced without
| stint for having dared to '.kidnap" ar
attache of sensation newspaper and
hold him subject to the rules and articles
of war which govern the service to
which Bosart was attached when tn al
legged ENLIGHTENMENT was perpetra,ea.
The theory is, we suppose, that the
crime with which he is charged having
been perpetrated in violation Of law
governing the Navy. he is now. as he
then was subject to the customs and penal
ties of Marine Cour.-martial.) The fact
is, tine press who have raised all this
howl over this fellows arrest have never
ceased to abuse the President and ali de-
partments OF the Administration When
ever any sort Of mercy or leniency has
been shown toward Government default
ers; and no matter what the extenn:.t-
ing circumstances might be. if q pardon
or u Communication OF sentence has sue
ceeied conviction, the Administration
has forthwith been pilloried by the very
class Of newspapers that are making all
this pother over BoSart's summary ar
rest If he is swind,er wha. occasion
is there for all this froth and noise over
his arrest? What difference does it
make how a confidence man is taken in
to custody, 50 long As he is secured for
the purposes Of justice A few days
residence at Mare Island won't hurt
Bogart even if he is innocent. Already he
has been sufficiently advertised to make
him a fortune--if notoriety is worth
