See her palid ,oun.enance, but a short
time ago the picture Of ruddy health, the
envy OF the school and the pride Of the
household. She was always welcomed by
her schooima,es, for her lilhe form and
pleasing disposition carried cheerfu!ness into

plarv, obedieut and graceful at home, she
won The hearts Of all. Bnt, alas, We are
sorrowed. Tnoss rosy cheeks and ruddy

and take her hand. Do not shudder at the
feeble and passiorless grasp. The hand
once so hearty ard plump is emaciated and
shows bony outlines, while the cords and
tor;uous veins are plainly marked out upon
the surface. The pulse that bounded with
repleiion, carrying vigor to the whole sys-
tenn, and impartipg life, beauty, vivaciiy,
health and strength, is delicate 10 the touch.
The feeble heart cannot proWl the thin,
scanty blood with force. Must we lose her
while vet in her teens? Companions gather
around with words OF cheer and consolation,
and depart with mcis;ened eyes and silent
steps.
Must we losehere No, there is relief! We
can stay this destroyer OF our happiness and
no, suffer the loss Of so bright gem. Some
thing more is required now than dietary and

and she shall have it. Take this pleasant

upon acountry.that was fair to look upon, and
like Jo-hus, they went up and possessed the
land. In the broad and beautiful valley of
THE PELrcID ARKANSAS.
They struck their stakes, and their was no
one near TO hinder. The red man had gone
and the white man hadn't come, go the Bax-
ter men came in between. They were Bax-
ter's saints and here was .heir rest. And
they took it-and the country too. They
organized county and they called itBarbour,
and thus it is painted on the map. in big
letters even TO this day. They divided the
county Offices among themselves, and a.
there were twice as many Offices as men they
CHANGED THEIR NAMES,
and took another turn at it. Thus the new
county was officered. Then the necessary
certificates and affidavits were forwarded to
the capitaI. and all the credentials for full
fiedged county were immedisely forthcom-
ing. Then, at the general election, Mr.. w.
II. Horner was chosen TO represent the
county in the Legislature. The necessary
TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY-oNE
votes were cast, and few more for good
measure, all Of which was duly certified by
the "county officers" and the Hon. Mr..
Horner was admitted to his seat. He was a
little man, and represented little county,
but when U. s. Senators or Appropriation
bill were up, he could cast as big a vote as
any delegate from Leavenworth or Douglas.
When other counties were asking for local
legislation. Barbour.:came also with measure
for her private benefit. 1t wss only bill

improvements, as the measure affected TO

delegation" was unanimously for it, OF

the Legislature adjourned;
THE BONDS WERE ISSUED.
In a very few days alter they were issued
they were sold, and they sold well. The
member from Barbour was the financial agent
of the county, and he did his work thorough

AND THEN
Well, Horner, where is he? And the other
wise men of Baxter, and the school houses,
and the bridges, and the court houses, and

any of them? Those that bought the bonds

1CPEhA, n Ilh II, lcsf-
The famous "H ONES case" has monopo-
lized the tine Of the Distric, Court all this
week having been commenced last Ssiur-
day. Mr.. Josiah I. Homes, late postmaster
at Wichita, was charged with embezziing
money from the U. S. mails; there were five
indictments against him, which were ccnsol-
idaied, and he was then put on trial under
the whole batch, in which there were, alto
gether, ffty-two Counts. The case was cali
ed last Friday, and the examination of wit
nesses commenced on Saturday morning, and
continued till Wednesday evening, of this
week. Some seventy-fve witnesses were
summoned for the prosecution, and fifteen
or twenty for the defense. Ga Wednesday
evening, As stated, the examination closed,
and yesterday morning the

for considerable talk, and the lawyers have
not failed TO improve the opportunity. was
not in the court room at the opening of the
argument, and consequently did not hear Mr..
Ryan's speech, but am told by those who
we're present that ii was a mastery effort.
Mr.. J. W. TAYLOR,
our "Joe," made the opening argument for
the defence, and spoke for about an hour,
His argument was able and earnest; he La
bored as zealously for the interests Of his
client az though his own liberty had been in
jeopardy, and seemed to do all that could be
done with the material he had te work with.
Mr.. FENLoN
followed Taylor, and though he made good
speech, did not come up to the public
expectation, and was no; equal to himself.
He worked hard and incessantly, poured
over the big Law books untiringly, and made
voluminous notes, but there seemed to be a
weight Of some kind upon his mind that
kept him down, and prevented him from
throwing his we'll known power into his
case. Following Mr.. Fenlon came
Z. S. ATTORNEY PECK,
with the closing argument for the Govern
ment. This vas Mr.. Peck's maiden effort,
and n q consequence attracted more than
