From the Magnolia Gazette.


If the Federal Administration does
not interfere with our State affairs, and
leaves the matter to be decided by our
courts, we have evey confidence in the
Judiciary OF the State to believe justice
will be done If the courts decide that
the election was unconstitutional, the
present incumbents in office must con-
tinue; but if the courts decide otherwise
the newly elected must be commissioned
and installed. Let justice be done,
though the heavens should fall.

MATTE JONES OF ARKANSAS. south
Haven, Arkansas has Il progressive and
dangerous woman-Miss Matte Jones.
This young girl was lately turned out Of a
sclIool-lIOuse where an entertainment was
in progress, and was overheard to say as
she left that s''" would burn tho .l'anty
over their heads. In 4 few minutes the
school house was Oh fire according to prom
Use, and the entertainment came to Il ''lame
and impotent conclusion" While the ex-
traortlinary spirit Of the young woman was
under discussion, another passage of her
life was laid open. Her mother had died
suddenly and mystcriOusly about six months
before, and was gathered to the great fami-
" Of Joncses. Now Matte Jones has a
brother, l4-year old boy, who overheard
his mother and sister planning, his fathers
death when he should return home from a
short trip he was making into the wills of
Arkansas. They arranged to season his
food with the spice Of futurity, as they
were tired Of seeing him round. Jones was
expected home on a certain day, and on
that day Matte was away and Mrs. Jones
was dclirious with aguc, and the boy was
with his mother. Mrs. Jones asked her
son t" give her some coffee, forgetting in
her delrium that she had made it especially
for her husband. She drank thereof and
did die, the boy not Knowing that it con-
tanned the dose. Mr.. Jones returned to
find his wife dead, and the boy told him of
the conspiracy. After Mattie's attempt to
burn the scl'"l-lIou>c the father and the
boy told the people what kind Of woman
Matte was. And Matte Jones is still
running loose in Arkansas. Wssouri Re-

One Of the noteworthy features Of Paris
il the system Of cheap restaurants, cstab-
lisled a few years since by NJ. Duval, a
butcher, but carried on since his death,
which occurred in 1870. by u company.
There are now sixteen Of these establish
ments scattered over the city, 50 that you
cannot go far in any direction without
meeting Bouillon-Duval. The originator
made very large fortune in the business,
portion Of which, inherited by his son,
was wasted on the notorious Cora Pearl,
and then that merccnary beauty turned the
cold shoulder on him. The young man at
tempted suicide, and came very near ac-
complishing his purpose. The largest Of
these restaurants is near the Palace Royal
and is Of vast dimensions, elegantly fitted
up and brilliantly lighted. The floors and
the galleries which run around the four
sides Of the hall At the height Of the second
story, are fitted with permanent marble
tables and seats TO accommodate several
hundred persons at time. In the centre
Of tlse floor il the cooking apparatus in full
sight, extremely ornamental and attended
by women in snOw-whitc caps and modest
costume. The kitchen department Is ~

The Perils Of Authorship,
From New York Letter.

Nothing more clearly indicates the gen
cral ignorance respecting the profits of
authorship than the paragraphs ciculated on
this subject, and commonly believed. You
have seen it mentioned that the heirs of tho
late VIM. II. Seward had received al, ,4G1
copyright on his "Travels Around the
World," for the six months ending the
1st Of August. The highest royalty usual
" paid by publishers is ten per cent. Sup
posing the Applctons allowed the author 30
cents volume-which is likely to he quite
as much as the truth would warrant-that
would yield $50. 900 for 1OO. 900 volumes, or
would require nearly 10000 volumes to
make up the sum named.
The idea IF such sale for such a book in
such time is simply pep">terous. Mark
Twain's "1nnoccnts Abroad" one Of the
most popular books ever printed, did not
begin to reach a sale Of 100, 900 copies in six
months. and IT had all the advantages Of
the machinery and push Of the PRINCIPAL
subscription house in Hartford. If Stewards
heirs have had $40, 600 thus far from his
"Travels.' they have been particularly
lucky

How the Gable Talks,

Through the kindness Of the Supcrn-

witness the mode Of transmitting and re-
ceiving messages through the cable, and
initiated into the secret. An. operator sits

Thompson, without which Atlantic telc-

delicate instrument consists Of q tiny mag

along the cable from Valencia. defects the
magnet to and fro. The mirror reflects a
spot Of light on a scale in box placed on
the operators right hand, where, by its
oscillations, the spot Of light indicates the

A code of signals is arranged by which the

over the scale OH his right. To his practi-
cal eye each movement Of the spot Of light
represents letter Of the alphabet. and its
seemingly fantastic motions arc spelling

Live lkammoths Discovered.

Anybody tired Of fox-hunting might, ac-
c"rling to Russian, Chcriton, find some
sport in Siberia. In his account Of his ex-
ploits he says that one day he found the
wide and lofty entrance to cave. He en-
tered with some precautions, for the rocky
pavement was worn as il by use, and with
in Inc heard slow, measured movement, as
Of an animal gently ruminating, and heavily
breathing with great calm inspirations and
cxpirations like the sigh Of smiths bel
lows. One turn, then another, he heard a
heavy, startling snort, and there in the half
light Of the cave, standing still before him,
alive, chewing the cud and waving its pro-
boscis to and fro, with a slow, gentle, ma
jestic motion, he saw-a mammoth! 81
did not know then," said ChcritOn. "wl,at
have since been told, that Siberia was an
old habitat Of these animals, and that
some Of the best scientific judges are uncer-
tain whether to look upon the remains
found upon the shores Of the Arctic Ocean
as fossil animals or as the remnants Of wan
dering hsrds caught and perisl,ing in storms
individuals Of which may still exist under
favorable circumstances. Without intend
ing it, have solved that doubt" Cheriton
describes the mammoth as being very
imposing looking animal, covered with red
dish brown wool and long black hair. Dur
ing his stay in the valley he was close to
five Of them all If which were nearly Of a
size, being about twelve feet high and
eighteen feet long, with tusks projecting
about four feet, and being about eight to
ten feet, counting the curve. The skin,
which was bare Oh the upper surface of the
ears, on the knees and rump was mouse
color, and seemed very thick. The animal
was nocturnal in its habits, frequenting
caves or forest depths by day, and feeding
at night or early morning. Cheriton thinks
there might bc fifteen or twenty Of these
monsters together.

A Newspaper in Rhyme.

The most amusing and remarkable paper
ever printed was the Muse Historique or
Rhyminy Gasettc Of Jacques Lorct, which,
for fifteen years from 1850 to 1866, was is
sued weekly in Paris. 1t consisted of $50
verses, summarizing the weeks news in
rhyme, and treated Of every class Of sub
ject, grave and gay. Lorct computed. in
1903. the thirteenth year Of his enterprise.
he had written over 100000 verses, and
found more than 700 different exorliums,
for he had never twice began his Gazette
with the same cntrcc in matter. He ran
about the city for his own news. never failed
to write good verses upon it, and never had
anybody t" help him, and his prolonged
and always equal performance, has been
pronounced something unique in the history
Of journalism.
