have a rocky bottom, to which they can
adhere with their arms. From the de-
scriptions we have given of various
specimens it is easy TO picture to the
mind the form and proportions of these
Cyclopic mollusks Their bodies are
long and flsiform, terminated at the pos
terror end by a spear-shaped fin. The
head Is furnished with pair of great
greenish, CHASTITY eyes, a bill like a par
rot and ten arms surrounding it in cir
Gle. The arms are provided with rows
of suckers, and, in some species, the
suckers are encircledwith row of hooks
to aid them in clasping. Add TO all this
that the body contains fountain of inky
fluid, which the animal can eject at will
in order to color the water and hide it
from view of its enemies, and we have a
creature sufficiently equipped with
weapons, offensive and defensive, to
come forth victorious in a battle with al
most any combatant inhabiting land or
sea. In its own element the Cataceous
are probably the only animals that can
successfully encounter it.
The cuttle-fish feed upon living fish,
crustaceous and mollusks. 1t may be
presumed that they make great havoc
among the tribes upon which they prey;
yet, in obedience to the law of nature,
which permits no single species to OBJ
tain predominance over the rest, it is
in turn the victim of other tenants of the
deep. Abundant evidence has been re-
ceived that the toothed whales find in
these colossal Cephalopods a favorite
and common article of diet. Some judg
ment may be formed of the fecundity of
these creatures from the statement that
the common squid, LOliqo-a nearly
allied species-deposits 10000 eggs in a
season. These are large, and generally
extended in clusters united by gluti-
nous substance, and are called by the fish
ermen sea -grapes.-ChicagO Tribune.

A Boys and Girls Garden.

/ think every boy and girl should try
and have little piece of ground each
summer and cultivate O few vegetables
slueraple picasurO - So,
her garden in the summer time. l al
ways choose for the situation of my gar
den piece OF ground along by the side
of fence facing the south.
AS soon as the ground begins to thaw
in the spring take spade and dig the
ground all up mellow and fine. ! then
mix some well-rotted manure with the
ground, and lie. it lie week or so and
then dig it up and finely pulyerize the
soil and plant the seeds, generally some
squash, melon and cucumber, beans, YER
benas, asters and zinnias. A person may
sometimes make little money in the
early spring by raising few early
tomato and cabbage plants. Sow few
seeds in box some time in March and
set it in a window where there is plenty
of light and warmth, taking care to water
occasionally. If possible set the box in
a window where the sun can shine on it
sometimes. In a few days the seeds will
come up and in few weeks they will be
quite large and may be taken up and
sold TO people who wish few carly
plants to set out and who them
selves have not taken the care to
raise them. Besides, when plants
are raised in the house in box
they are free from the attacks of bugs
and worms Flowers also are attractive
and pleasant things to raise. Everybody
likes flowers except, perhaps, persons
who are so wicked and british that they
can see no beauty in such things. How
pleasant it Is in winter 10 have a few
flowers to look at when everything else
is barren! They seem to smile upon US,
and this is very pleasant in the dreari-
ness of winter 1t makes "a little sum-
mer for US indoors
Enjoyment is the principal thing at
tanned in having garden, and it often
happens that those who have the small
est gardens have the most enjoyment and
pleasure all summer. Aperson may also
| learn considerable from garden, even
| though it be only little one in box or
pot. A garden need not necessarily be IS
! large as an orchard, but just little piece
of ground few rods square will suffice.
In planting your seeds do not place them
too thick or too deep, for Il YOU do they
will fail TO germinate and will probably
rot. / hope no boy or girl who reads this
will fail to have garden the coming
summer. If you cannot get any ground
| of ycur own, procure an old soap box or
| tin can and fill it with dirt and plant your
| seeds, and the pleasure and enjoyment
realized therefrom will amply compen-
safe for all the trouble you may have
had with them--Rural Nen Yorker.

LITTLE Rock. Ark. March 5

LITTLE Rock. Ark, March :.
The Governor to-day issued a procla-
nation appointing Thursday, March 26,
as day of thank sgiying for the many
blessings which have been showered up
on the State during the past twelve
months. Referring to the adoption of
the Poland report, the Governor says;
I'VE have been sustained by the Con-
servative Republican sentiment in the
North, which is one of the most gratify
ing features connected with the struggle
and one of which we should feel proud,
and we should strive by all means to
prove ourselves worthy of this indorse-
ment 50 emphatically given by those sup
posed TO differ with us politically, who
were begged and importuned under all
circumstances to put US down. With all
we have undergone, if our cause has been
the occasion of harmoniZing and uniting
the Liberal and Conservative elements in
The nation that have heretofore been dis
cordant, we are more than paid, and it
should be one of our chief duties to see
that they should be kept together

| enjoin upon all persons now to
see that peace and order are pre-
served all violations Of law promptly
he arrested and brought to answer before
the law. The punishment of infractions
of the law is the surest remedy against
mobs and general outbreaks that some
times occur and almost defy the entire
power of the Government. AS we have
been peaceful and law-abidIng, and
thereby won respect and confidence
everywhere, let US continue to be, and
enforce the laws so that each and every
citizen may feel he owns a direct in
terest in the Government, while that
Government not only can, but is able and
ready to, protect him. Stir up no strife,
revive no past political differences or
animosity, persecute no one that may
have differed or that may hereafter
differ with us. Let US at all times, in
fact, exercise charity to all and malice
toward none. Should there be any in
dictments in the courts for past political

Let the people of all parties,
races and colors come and be welcomed
to our State, and encouraged to aid us in
her up to a position of true

Our Young Folks.
LITTLE AARGIE.
BY T. BRYSBERG PORTER.

Il.
Little Margie sat by the avenue,
And all the gay steeds quick past her flew,
With their merry bells and flashing sleighs-
Four-in hands, tandems, sorrels and grays.
Margie watched the great folks, but envied
She sold buttons and pins, nor sighed at her
lot.
Grand ladies swept by in their silks and furs,
But none had blther heart than hers.
Swells sauntered along with ogling grins,
Not one so content as the child who sold pins.
And as she sat on, and the sun shone bright,
She sang wee song, her heart was so light;
For the sparrows chirped overhead in the
trees,
And why should she be less gay than thesey
And when the ladies would purchase her
Twas pleased little face that smiled in
theirs.
One day she sat there when it was not SO
bright,
And the flakes came flying all chill and
white.
The wind howled around her, cruel and cold.
And few were the buttons and pins she sold.
As she tried in vain to sing her wee song
There came poor, limping dog along;
And he looked in her face with such wistful
eye,
And seemed so starved, that it made her cry.
So she took from her basket her one piece of
bread,
And shared with him-when had he been
feds
Now lady looked out from great house
near,
From her wealth and her warmth and pleas
ant cheer,
Saw the child in the snow, all shivering and
wan,
And thought of her own darling, dead and
gone.
And she took her forthwith to her home and
heart:
From thence never more, while she lived, to
depart.
To-day Margie rides in velvet and furs,
And none are more costly or Inc than hers.
She is seen at the ball in jewels rare,
And pleased eyes follow her everywhere.
But is she much happier now, think you,
Than when she sold pins on the avenue!
