Arkansas sansrroid .

1T there is any one thing that the
average Arkansian lacks more than
another, it is reverence for trage-
dies. For instance, a few days ago
one prominent citizen sent word to
another p c, that he INTENDED to
"kill him on sight" Now, II this
had happened, for instance, in some
quldt Old ioshioncd town in Virgin.
in, il would have created an i'm.
meuse sensation. Pcoplo would
have been seen standing AZ the cor
ners of the streets, discussing the
matter IN whispers; the sheriff
would have slipped out OF town and
telegraphvd Gov. Holiday for the
militia, bat long before the miIiua
came fret class funeral wo1ld
have been had. But wo do things
differently out here in Arkansas,
we have dropped all such prattlc
as "chiyalry," tonah,' &C., and
have not lost anything thereby. -
The threat mentioned above was
made early in the morning; in an
hour afterward, the p C who made
the threat was under bond to keep
the peace for twelve months, and
all during the day no one was awed,
no one looked solemn, the Sheriff
was only unhappy because bis
friend, the coroner, was knocked
out Of a job. Men did gather OIL
the street corners, but it was only
TO laugh over the affair.
The lesson in the above IS that
the people of Arkansas are deter
mined to put a stop to lawlessness
of every kind, and TO throw open
the courts TO those who are wrong
ed, and to put a stop TO the pistol
practice that once disgraced our
state.

Pins, Past and Present.

To the young lady whose intricate
oycrskirt is held in innumerable folds by
many pins, it may seem a hardship that
her yearly allowance Of pins is only
about one hundred and forty. Such,
however, is the case with each individual
in the United States on an equitable
division Of the pins yearly sold in this
country. But the Indians in the West
are not supposed to use their full allow
ance, and collar buttons have so far done
away with the use Of pins by gentlemen
generally that the young lady may per-
haps providehcrsci with some one else's
allowance. The pins made in the United
States are made by fourteen factories,
somewhat scattered as to locality, but
chiefly in New England Their annual
production for several years past has
been about 1000, 0OOO pins. This
number has not varied Guch for some
years, the demand remaining about the
same. A few Of these 1000, OOO,O 600 are
swallowed by children, number are
bent up in schools and placed in vacant
and inviting chairs, and some millions
get into cracks Of floors, and the rest for
the most part are scattered along the
hyways aud highways where they have
dropped from dresses and been left to
work their WAY into the earth
Two years ago the competition among
tho nine principal companies then exist
ing for the manufacture Of toilet pins led
to such cutting Of prices that the bust
ness became Improbable and the mar
kct was flooded with goods. Dealers
who were shrewd laid in stock, and fani-
lies even bought in wholesale quantities
for future needs. A year ago combina
ton was formed of three wire companies.
and now all Of the pins made by then
are shipped to New York, and handled
by the head agency in this city. Frort
their common warehouse they are soni
to every part Of the country in quantities
varying according to the female poEa-
lation.
The importations Of English pins arr
small, and the expectation Of pins hon
the United States is confined to G1ha
South America and parts of GAMMA
where, however, but few pins arc sent

outside of the United States, although il

Recreation.

In lecture by DR.. Romanes, of Lon
don, before the National Health Society,
the physiology of recreation was briefly
described Us consisting merely in re-
building up, reforming or recreation of
organs and tissues that have become
partly disintegrated by the oxhausting
effects of work. 1t thus appears that
the one essential principle Of all recrea-
ton must be varicty---that is, the sub
stitution OF one set Of activities for an
other, and, consequently, the successive
ailording OF rest to bodily structures as
they become successfully exhausted !;
and so the undergraduates finds recrca-
ton in rowing, because it gives his brain
tIme to recover its exhausted energies,
while the historian and the man of sci
encc find mutual relief to their respect
i've faculties in each others labors.

was wondering why she did refer TO a
dog in her story; but then thought she,
"grandmama does not know Eddie wants
one;" when the old lady began again,
"Tve been thinking so much Of Wait,
and how glad those boys were TO have
him to-day that l thought I'd like lit
tie dog for You children to play with
when You come to see me; could you get
one for me, Eddie?"
"Ohl grandma" exclaimed Eddie,
"you dear good grandma, you know
some ones told you | wanted a dog. /
will get you one, and we'll name him
Wait wont we Rosa? and grandma, I'll
paint you that picture one of these days,
MS sure as live.
"You didn't think your mother was so
sorry TO disappoint you that I'm taking
the dog to please her too, did you. But
there are no little children, and no fine
carpets at my house, so you may bring
Jamie's present there"
So grandma's story ended, and Rosy
had no further trouble about Eddie's APP
probation Of the beautiful supper table
with the ice cream doves. Long years
after when Eddie's Wait was too old to
play, and Eddie himself was a tall youth,
almost man, there was an exhibition Of
pictures at an academy Of design. One
picture attracted much attention, and the
painter they said was very young, "Go.
ing to Texas; and Intruder i'll the camp"
it was called, but as it has boon de-
scribcd once in the course Of our story,
we will not repeat. The crowd stand
ing in front Of it moved on as some one
said, "There comes the young man who
did it; we must give way that he may
show it to his friends" Avery old lady
was leaningon the young mans arm, and
n bright, beautiful girl walked by her
side AS they stopped before the paint
ing and the old lady adjusted her glass
es, the young girl exclaimed
"Why, brother, you did not tell us, "
"Hush Rosy" he said, "let grandma
speak first, success or failure, the picture
is hers"
"Annie at the camp fire." said the old
lady, her face aglow with pride and de-
light. my boy, it is perfect Dcary
me! that | ever should have seen it on
canvass! AndNou remembered all these
years! / told you that story only to amuse
you that day so long ago. 1 didn't re-
ally think you would some day paint it,
