What Kind of Education.

Every boy should have his head, his heart and hls hand educated. Let this truth never be forgotten. By the proper education of the head, he will be taught what is good and what evil, what is wise and what foolish, what is right and what is wrong. By the proper education of the heart, he will be taught to love what is good, wise and right and to hate what Is evil foolish and wrong, and by proper education of the hand, helwill be enabled to supply his wants, to add to his comforts, and to assist those around him. The high est objects of good educa tion are, to reverence and obey God, to love and serve mankind. Every thing that helps us in attaining these objects is of great value, and every thing that flinders us is comparatively worthless. When wisdom reigns in the head, and love in the heart, the man is ever ready to do good; order and peace reign around, and pain and sorrow almost -Blackwood.

the plea your lawyers bring np, that this coistpanT is not responsible foI the old company's debts They say let the company go. The railroad shell not flourish over good men s empty pockets. Tit is not good for its debts, nor can't be made good for such, it shall no. run; be good for anything after certain time. These men would defend the road with the same spirit if it was mis- treated by any body. The only mo tive fcr ta's step, which will be ta- ken If you do not satisfy the debts, is justice, and justice only is their mot to. They are in favor of all public enterprises. when such things are self-sustaining. l travel through this country often my business calls, and with all due respect to them, I give you this chance 10 save much.
 We are no apologist for any indi- vldual or corporation who refuses to pay a just debt, but at the same time we must say that any man who would threaten to ditch cars Or burn bridges, thus eEdangering the lives of innocent passengers. under the spacious plea of getting even with a railroad, is villain for whom there is but one fit home-and that is in the State penetentiary. We trust the Company may succeed in ferreting out the author of the above.

Our people mean business in re gard to this matter no foolishness, no childs play about it. An organ lzation to push forward the enter. prise has been effected, and identif. ed with it are our best men. A par ty composed of II. c. Howell, J. ". Russell. and R, A. Riddle, left here Last Tuesday for an inspection and survey of the route, and they are to be followed right up by a squad of 20 or 30 hands under an efficient overseer who will do good, efficient work. It is the best move Russell. vile has made and the be 1eiit which will accrne to our town will amrly compensate for the outlay which our citizens propose to make. Now let the people along the line aid all they can by contributions of labor and we wlll soon have thoroughfare opened up with the country north of the mountains which will bring to our market large quantities Of just such supplies as we need

Coming Home tn Roost.

As corollary of Judge English s celebrated pisto. decision. the most remarkable ever delivered by a Judge a lady liylng in the suburbs of Fort Smith came running home almost breathless, . few days ago, saying, q met two tramps with great navy revolvers buckled around them" She did not stop to measure their length to see whether they were of the proper size to be within English's construction of the law. Indeed we believe English himself has left us in doubt about the precise nunIber of inches long they must be to be of 2 legal length, Nor do we see how the uncertainty is to be rem edied unless tlie manufactures of pis- tols for ,he Arkansas market have a graduated scale of inclies upon each barrel, so that both Jhs rniIian and the state may know just where the dividing line between their respect we sovereignties hes. We would recommend to the dealers in small arms in this state that they suggest this decision and this improvement to the manufactures. It may save good deal of useless and expensive litigation. Besides 1t would be ter rible to have rufIian sent to prison merely because of mistake of q half or quarter of an inch. Fort Smith Independent.

ANOTHER.

PINE BLUFF, October S.-Two men, Oscar and William Allen, claimingto be Texans, came to Pine Bluff this morning, purchased revolvers, drank freely until overcome by the evil fluid, when they marched up Main street with drawn reyoivers. daring any one to arrest them. Reaching Broadway, a thickly setted tlloroug fare, they opened fire oil everybody in thelr way, and shooting into dwellings. Officers immediately un- dertook to arrest them but were fired upon, when the firing commenced on both sides, the two men emptying their revolvers. While reloading Wm. Allen was shot in the body and probably fatally..wounded. The oth CT was then overpowered and lodged in jail. Fortunately no one was hurt except Allen.-Gazette.

s. A. BUCK INTERVIEWED,

Enq. MT. Buck will you please state whether you give yodr butchers the profits of the meat market or pay then wages?
 s. A. B. 1 gave Hartsell choice ant he preferred wages during last winter and spring; he then concluded by ad vancing the price of meats, he nigh 1 realize more than wages, and pay me for the cattle and butcher for the ptof its, until the other shop opened, when he again preferred wages Eng. Why are you willing to furnish means to run business and pay wa. ges, when your employees think it does | not pay expenses? s. A. B. Because I collect good many beeves on accounts that I might not be able to get other wise; also pay for many of them in goods, and had better keep up the shop if the losses are not too great.
 Enq. Why did you refuse to with. draw your means and influence from the shop and let the two shops settle the matter as to who could best stand the pressure, as Bradley requested you to do?
 $. A. B. Because Hartsell and Dacus could not well sacrifice money in keep ing up the market against opposition, and it would virtually be throwing them out of employment.
 Enq. Why did thsy butcher on Sun day evenings?
 $. A. B. They only did So during warm weather when meats bntchered Saturday would have spoiled and meats butehered Monday mornings would retain the animal heat until tio late for breakfast, consequently would not be healthy.
 Enq. But the weather has become cooler?
 s. A. B. Yes, and Dacus and Hart sell have since butchered on Saturday to supply Monday mornings market.
 knq. Did not they or some one butch CT On Sunday evening, Oct. l9?
 $. A. B, They did not but I am in- formed by good authority that Ash more did butcher Sunday evening af- ter dark, at or near his premises in town, on that evening, not Monday morning as Observer states.
 Enq. What was 1t Ashmofe said about the patronage of the citizens or Russellville?
 $. A. B. He said they promised him their patronage and ii they did not pat ronize him they were set Of scoun- drels.
 Enq. Who do you think wrote the article, Sunday Observance?
 S. A. R. The man who is too sancti- fled to eat meats butchered on Sunday, and is so anxious that the children of should be educated that he would persist in retaining another mans money and paying it in tuition.
 Enq. How was the spirit condition 1 of Observers fayorite2

The whole question is question of constitutional law, and but few men possess the rare ability to jndge cbn- corning it, or b reason extensively about it. while many will claim to possess tlIis ability, and are feady to enter their judgementupon it,who know no more of constitutional law than q primary student in arithmetic knows of the virtue of "Napiero Analogies for the solution of an ob- ligue angled spherical triangle" II the State has been deprived of the effect of good law, which is the irresistible judgement of every good man, and the reason whereof be in the constitution itself, which it doubt less is, why blame Judge English? Statute law, according to the very na- ture of the case must give way to the organic law, because it is a crea- ture of that law. And as to whether tfe decision of the Supreme Court be valid or not, men may judge and rejudge and jndge again and con
 tinue to judge. until every man in the State should resolve himself into a Supreme Court, and then supreme Y judge, but as for the ability and prerequisites of Chef Justice, and the consequent ability to decide fins oUEsrios, or any other question of constitutional law, no better abili
 ty, both intellectual and moral, can be found m this State, than that of him who has already judged of it, and who is the present Chef Justice of Arkansas. SUMUN BoMuN.
