MAJOR W. }. MURPHY

gentlemen Of the firm are his father
and brother. Frank is the brother
handsome young fellow. Will, having
drank Of the Arkansas river, is of

He spoke kindly Of Arkansas, and
many words Of praise and compliment

RAILROAD NEWS.
1t is rumored here that King Cole,
the railroad magnate, desires to pur-
chase from Darden, Pomeroy, ct al
the charter for the proposed road
from point opposite Memphis, via
Pine Bluff to Jefferson, Texas. This
is the road that Memphis is so anx-
iously endeavoring to have construct
ed. While il would be the salvation
of Memphis, it would be a great bless
ing to Little Rock. | am reliably iu-
formed that the distance to Hopefield
via Pine Bluff, from your city, is but
36 miles further than the Memphis
and Little Rock shortline. Prospects
seem to be bright for the speedy com
mencement of work on this road. Mr.
Il. l.. Cobb, well known in connection
with the Little Rock aud Fort Smith
railway, arrived here Sunday, and, 1t
is said, came here ON business cor.
nected with the Darden road.
Colonel NJ. Spain Jay, late general
passenger agent of the Memphis and
Little Rock road also arrived Sunday
morning. He will visit Louisville
before entering upon the duties of his
office.
The Little Rock line has just com
pleted freight depot at the foot of
Washington street, or rather on Front
row, which is not only credit to the
company but Of great benefit to ship
pers and merchants generally. 1t is
easy ofaccess and very nicely arranged.
In size it was 50x200 feet. The Office
of Captain w. II. Smith, the superiu-
tendent. is in the second story, south
end OF the building.

A Steamer Stopped by JsIlyfish.

A correspondent of the Western Morn
ing Ners gives an interesting description
of the voys of the Crocodile. In the
course of his observations, he says: Con
September 2lst the ship crossed the
equator early in the morning. On the
following night q most curious circum-
stance occurred which would hardly be
credited. The ship WAS stopped by jel-
lyfish, which, shortly after o clock, ap-
peared in myrisds as far as the eye could
reach, and the thoussds of luminous
bodies floating upon the water gave the
appearance of scene from fairyland
Some of the fish got into the strsiners of
the cordeusers and blocked the holes so
that the water could not enter, and the
result was that the vacuum went down
and then disappeared entirely. The
condeusers afterwsrd became so heated
that we had to stop steaming altogether,
take off the strsiDers and clear them.
Three attempts were made to steam, and
each one failed from the same cause. In
this way we we're delayed no less than
five hours: but st dsybresk the fish
sank, ard the snip wss able 70 proceed
The same thing occurred the following
night, the ship being delayed four
hours. - london Telegraph.

An Unpleasant Surprise.

A sad misfortune lately befell New
Orleans Judge. 1t is related of him that
as he was riding in the cars, from q sin
gle glance st the countensnce OF lsdy
at his side he imagined that he knew
her, and ventured to remark that the
day was pleasant. She only answered,
"Yes." "Wly do you wear a veil?"
" Lest l attrad gentlemen" cit is the
province of gentlemen to admire" re-
piled the gallant msn of law. "Not
when they are married" "But | am
not" Indeed "Oh, no; | sm s
bachelor" The lady quietly removed
her veil, disclosing to the sstonlshed
msgi strate the face of his motherin
isw. He has been rsying msniac ever
since. -Net0 Orleans Pio1ytnle.

NY GUESTS OF NEW YEARS EVE.
BY MRS. X. A. 3. MITHKLL,

guest, unan nounced, and upbidden,
Stole into my chamber last night,
And the beautiful halo around ner
Fill'd tn room with soft mellow light.
She folded her wings and sat near me,
Then spoke of the sgittness of time
And asked of the year that was closing,
Had mine been 8 chapter sublime2
She came TO look over my record
And ask for my noblest, best deed,
To in scribe upon tablets enduring,
Where saints of all ages might read.
'r,Naught worthy TO tell" Imoaped sadly.
And tears wet IN pillow the while.
She left me In darkness and sorrow,
and yet there was balm In her smile.
Ny eyelds were heavy with slumbsr,
My heart was o'erburdeaed with grief,
Away in the dresmland 1 wandered,
And eagSsly sought for relief.
ventured far up on the mountain
To n gate that was glowing with light,
And tn angel who'd sat by my bedside
Came out with a look Of delight.

OF comm onplace duties TO give

Go In with the sainte1 TO i!ve2"
"God sees not as thou" she sf.id sveetly,
- An act to the world all unknown,
And which thou hast long snte forgotten,

A welcome he Father assures,
And Jesus himself 81 (net the title

Tweaking His Own Nose.

If the correspondents don't belle him,
DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes is good
deal of wag outside of his books. The
story goes that he wsgered friend that
he could make the pompous DR.. Osgood,
the publisher, tweak his own nose. This
seemed so absurd to the friend, who had
conceived high notion of Osgood's dig
nifty, that the wager WAS accepted. At
ter the business of call on Osgood wss
completed, Holmes artfully led the con-

A pause ensued, when, to the joker de

Finding the Bond.

A MAN with a grip-sack in his hand
halted before jefferson Avenue fruit
stand yesterday and priced choice
variety of peaches. When told that
they were twenty cents a dozen he
whistled to himself, walked softly
around. and finally asked:
"Are you Baptist?'
Hardly"
Neither am l. / didn't know but
that if we both belonged to the same
denomination you'd throw off little.
Do you lean to the Methodist?'
Cant say that do"
THAT my case. l never did take
much stock in the Methodists. Twen-
ty cents a dozen is an awful price on
those peaches, considering how tight
money is. l expect you are Universal

Vanderbilt's Millions.

SOME one has made very curious
calculation of what Mr.. Vanderbilt
could do with his money. William II.
Vanderbilt's income from his invest
ments in SOL 100000 four per cent.
Government bonds is represented At
$1,000 daily, which is S20S. % per hour.
1881 per minute. or over five cents per
second. Assuming that he is paid by
the second, he cannot possibly spend
his money, as he could not select his
purchases and lay down the pieces fast
enough. He could not throw it away;
to pick up. cast, recover. pick up and
cast again would take him two seconds,
and if he worked all through the twen-
ty-four hours without rest, he could
only dipose of one-half his income. By
living economically saving up for four
years he could, placing his five-cent
pieces side by side, make a nicke! belt
around the earth, or BY converting his
savings into one-cent pieces and mount
ing them in pile he would, in twenty
years, erect road to the moon and
have $500 to invest when he got there.
Should his amusement take q charita-
bic twist, he could out of year re-
ceipts donate to every man, woman and
child in the United States 20 cents and
have money left over. Other vast
possibilities occur to the glowing fancy
of the calculator. In one day he could
90 to 5000 different circuses. eat 10, 900
pints of peanuts, drink 5000 glasses Of
lemonade, and have money left to get
his boots BACKED. He can afford to
have 400 600 shirts washed in one dav
and on the day Of his death his income
will buy ten tirst-class funerals.-Khaca
