About a week sine, a young man

Arkansas Mines.

It is true that during the year just
passed no great bonanza" has been
struck, nor yet has any mine paid its
expenses, although many tons of rich
ore have been brought out Of the
mines. Nor is this to be wondered at,
or made an objection to the mines.

geological formation is such that

The cotton exchange is in a state OF
turmoil to-day, owing to the annual
election of officers to preside over and
manage that useful institution. While
things are slightly confused and I'M
settled over the event, there is no
great excitement, and as it only comes
once a year the members appear to
take it philosophically.

The opera managers insist that the
lyric artist, Roze, will sing one night
only during the company's visit here,
unless the theater managers pay the
company a bonus of 5000. Wait un-
til after the play is over Saturday
night and Manager Strakosch will
find he can make mistakes, even about
programmes, just the same as Others
can about other things. He'll feel il
in his pocket, because our people will
not pay to hear the Bohemian Girl
when they can have as much as they
wish of it for nothing. Balfe's spark
