LIVE WITHIN Your MEANs.-We don't
like stinginess, we don't like economy,
when it comes down to rags and starva-
ton. We have no sympathy with the
notion that the poor man should hitch
himself to post and stand still, while the
rest of the world moves forward. 1t is
no mans duty to deny himself every
amusement, every recreation, that he
may get rich. 1t is no mans duty to make
an iceberg of himself, to shut his eyes and
ears to the sufferings of his fellows, and
to deny himself the enjoyment that re
suits from generous actions, that he may
hoard wealth for his heirs to quarrel
about.
But there is an economy which is every
mans duty, and which is especially COM
mendable inIthe man who struggles with
poverty-an economy which is consistent
with happiness, and which must be prac-
ticed if the poor man would secure indie
pondence. 1t is almost every mans priv
ilege, and it becomes his duty, to live
within his means; not up to, but within
them. Wealth does not make the man,
we admit, and should never be taken into
account in our judgment of men; but
competence should always ne secured,
when it can be, by the practice of econo-
my and self denial only to a tolersble ex-
tept. 1t should be secured, not so much
for others to look upon, or to raise us in
the estimation of others, as to secure tho
consciousness Of Independence, and the
constant satisfaction which is derived
frsn is requirement and possession.

SLANDERED ARKANSAS.

The Alleged Reign Of Terror Investigated By
the Grand Jury-No case Of tntimida-
ton or Oppression FouHd-No Eoidence
ofthe Existence OfG White League.
Some time ago a number of Federal
soldiers published statement that a
reign ofterror existed in Arkansas, and
hat they had carried their lives in their
hands for ten years. On the promulga-
ton of this statement Gov. Garland di-
rected the Prosecuting Attorney to have
the parties summoned before the Grand
Jury, when in session, and if the facts as
stated, were found to be true, that the
guilty persons be prosecuted. He also
sent special message to the Legislature
advising the enactment of more severe
laws than are now contained in the
statute books for the punishment of Ku-
Klux, in case it was thought the laws
were not already sufficiently severe. The
report of the Grand Jury is published, in
which they state that about 40 of the per-
sons were examined, and the jury was
unable, after diligent questioning, to find
a single instance in which any man had
been deprived of his right to vote, or
any other right, but, on the contrary, un-
usual quiet prevailed. The report. con-
clAdes as follows
The charges made as to intimidation
and terrorism were confessedly based not
upon personal or positive information,
but merely upon public rumor and news
paper reports; and the evidence as to the
existanCe of secret organization known
as the White League, or any similar or
ganization, was absolutely nothing. We
could find only one man who knew of
any one said TO belong to such an organi-
zation, and upon summoning the person
accused we found the organization to
which he belonged, and upon which was
based the ru2or of his being a White
Lacquer, was the Knights of Pythias.

A LEOPARD KILLS A BLACK PAN
Their AND PARTIALLY
DEVOURS IT.

Two lions, two leopards, and u tame
panther have for some months been kept
IN one cage in Barnums Hippodrome
The lions are separated from their com
panions through the night by iron bars,
but in the. day time the bars are with
drawn and the animals form "happy
family"
No sooner were the bars taken out yes
ter1ay morning, than the leopard made
spring for the panther's throat. The
panther was young, bat his muscles were
like iron and his skin as thick rs sole
leather, and he struck the leopard a blow
with one of his fore paws that laid him
sprawling on the floor of his cage. In an
instant the leopard was on his feet again,
and the animals stood face to face. For
fully minute they glared and growled,
and then, with shock that nearly turned
the cage on its side, they met again, each
trying to grasp the other by the throat.
The employees of the Hippodrome, at
tracted by the noise of the conflict, tried,
with bars and spears, to separate the
combatants, but without avail. Seasoned
wood spears were snapped like straws,
and even the keeper Of the animals dared
not approach the cage.
The leopard, with an unexpected
spring, fixed himself on the panther's
back, and taking the loose skin on the
back Of the latter's neck between his
teeth, gave the panther toss against the
side of the cage that bent the thick iron
bars nearly double. For a minute there
was great danger thatall the beasts in the
cage would escape. The top of the cage
was broken and the floor was split. But
the battle was over; Tor the panther,
without a sound, struck the floor of the
cage lifeless.
But the leopard was not satisfied with
the death of his antagonist. No sooner
was he convinced that he could approach
with safety, than, sei2ing the panther's
head between his fore paws, he gave him
Il tearing with the sharp claws of his hind
feet that nearly stripped the skin from
his body. Then he began with his steeth,
and before the employees could interfere,
nearly half the dead panther had been
eaten by the leopard.
When at length Il sufficient force had
been collected around the cage, the keep
er who had tanned the panther, entered
the den, There upon the floor lay his
pets silky black skin, almost entire. His
body, not yet cold, quiyered, and his eyes
glared, The leopard crouched in the
corner Of his cage, satisfied with his meal.
The iron bars were soon replaced, and
the leopard was prevented from doing
further mischief.
At the afternoon performance the leop-
ard was so unruly that it was deemed un-
safe for the trainer to enter the cage; but
the bars were kept in their places and no
more damage was done.-[ NeW York Sun,
