A STONE BABY.

w. c. Renfrew, of Russell, Ark,
and Captain w. J. Patton, of Little
Rock, arrived in this city to-day on
their way to Washington, D. C. The
object of their visit to Washington is
to exhibit to the officers of the Smith
sonian Institute the Eureka Baby"
specimen of archaeology found on the
1st of last October at Eureka Springs,
Ark. The baby was found about four
feet below the surface on the lot of
John B. Holbron, a resident of the
town, and it was discovered by a
laborer, named F. H. Campbell, while
he was digging well. The baby had
a coating of a composition about as
light as pumic-stone, but this covering,
varying in the thickness from half an
inch to an inch and half, has since
been removed from the entire head and
shoulders and the right side of the
baby, showing one leg complete. The
baby is two feet and two inches long
and weighs, with the composition coat
ing, eighty-fve pounds. The head and
limbs exposed are said to be rightly pro-
portioned. The cheeks are puffed out
and the legs and arms are plump. The
general color of the baby is a BLUSH
brown, varying in lightness. The baby
looks very much like a Hindoo idol.
Mr.. Renfrew, the present owner of the
baby, has found good many people
who believe it to be a petrified human
being, but it is hardly necessary to say
that this opinion is not held by a
scientist. The body is evidently a
work of art, and the first important
question to be determined in connection
with it is in regard to the time it was
deposited at the place where it was
found by the well-digger, Campbell.
Whether it was placed there by a
race or by a representative
Of the present race the people of the
Institute will be called
upon to decide.-St. Louis Globe Dem

SALT HOGS VS.. CHAMPAGNE.

Unless France comes down and asks
the pardon of Phil Armour and Amer
lea for her unwarranted and revolu-
tionary action in regard to star-spangled
American hog meat, there's going to be
trouble. That country has prohibited
the landing of American pork in her
ports, and prohibited the sale of that
necessary beverage, on account of
worms. Half dozen persons in this
whole country have been searched and
trichin3 has been found concealed
about their persons, from eating raw
pork, and those frog-eaters have pro-
hibited the sale of it on that account.
Nobody has died in France from worms,
as anybody knows of, but suppose a
few have, is that any reason that one
of the greatest industries of America
should be paralyzed ? If the Frenchmen
have taken this action in order to raise
the price of bull-frogs and corner the
markets of France, then we do not
complain, because it is only a specula-
tion, and will soon regulate itself, as
frogs can never take the place of salt
pork. A frog may do to tempt the ap-
petite of French dancing master, and
make him agile, but he has got to have
some of our trichina grease to cook his
frog in. But if this action of France
is to stand permanent, and our pork is
to be quarantined and turned away,
America will take fearful revenge.
We will bar out all French champagne
from this country and die on Jersey
cider. French champagne is more
dangerous than American pork. There's
more worms in it. OF course a man
has more fun to the square inch to die
from champagne than from worms that
he catches from asSociating with raw
pork, but to the true American that
will not weigh. There are more people
who go to untimely graves every year
through the aid of French champagne,
than there are Frenchmen who die of
American hog meat. And this insidi-
Gus beverage cuts off not the poor, but
the wealthy. No man is safe who
keeps his skin full of French champagne,
as worm is incubated in his flesh that
never let's up. 1t goes whooping through
his system like an army with banners,
and makes him think he OWNS brew
cry, causes him to make an ass of him
self, and finally die with jim-jams. The
woods are full of them. Not only men,
but women, get trichina by drinking
and they carry on scandal
ously and at last it biteth like a rat
rap and stingeth somewhat. We will
give the French government till next
to withdraw its offensive re-
marks in regard to the American hog,
md if it is not done, the last French
champagne has landed on our shores
hat will be allowed to land. When
his country gets aroused there will be
champagne spilled. Vira la american

SWISS FARMING.

have wondered if there are such
awkward ways of doing things outside
of Egypt as are practieed here. The
farming implements would be laugha-
BILE if they were not mOnstrous. TubaI-
Cain certainly made better-formed
scythes than are used here. The axes
are simply long sharp wedges with a
hole near the top, and short, straight
stick in the hole for a handle. Hay
forks are big and awkward, and twice
as heavy as our stable forks. Grain is
oftener threShed with the Old-faShioned
fail than otherwise. wonder they do
not tramp it out with oxen. 1t would
be Sloa0er process, and how to be slow
is made special study here. The
ploughs are the climax of agricultural
monstrosities. They are great cumber-
some things, made almost wholly of
wood, with the beam mounted on two
wooden wheels big enough for coal
carts.
My friend used just such plough
yesterday on our farm. l half deny
ownership now, when think of it. 1t
was pulled by six cows. Two men
were driving the cows, and two men
were holding the plough up. 1 followed
and looked on. They were half day
ploughing half an acre.
1 am glad the whole concern, plough
men, cow-drivers, and all, were hired,
and not part proper of the firm. 1
sat on stone wall for half an hour and
reflected whether it were possible
Americans could not make small special
farming profitable, with the soil and
complete implements for farming, in
the face of the fact that these people
not only make living, but save money,
on a poor soil, and with the old-fash-
ioned tools of Egypt to work it.
l am certain the whole secret lies in
economy in the saving of a hundred
little things that shall outbalance even
the waste of these awkward implements
and these slow methods. There will |
not blade of grass be seen among the
vines here, nor a weed on the farm.
There will not be a twig of wood left
to rot, or a potato undug. A gentle
mans private garden could not be
cleaner or better kept than is the whole
farm in Switzerland, and cultivation,
such as is bestowed only on lighthouses
in America, is common here to every
farm. Not one foot of ground is left
uncared for. 1t may take a good deal
of time, with such slow hands to do it,
but it is done. Not a chip, not a straw,
is wasted. "We put this little thing
and that little thing together, y said my
friend, land at the end of the year it
makes good DEAL" One can not af-
ford waste or bad farming on land at
i've or six or ten hundred dollars an
acre and more.-S. H. NJ. BYERs, in

AN OLD STORY.

Perhaps it has been printed before,
perhaps it has not. We give it as
told to an Argo representative by one
of those monuments of truth-a COM
mercial traveller. The occurrence is
said to have taken place away back in
the good old days of our forefathers.
When Davy Crockett was in Washing
ton he was one day sitting in hotel
toasting his Shins when a senator from
Massachusetts entered. Approaching
the old frontiersman the latter said
''Crockett, a large procession of your
constituents are marching up the street.
You ought to go out and greet them' -
Crockett hurriedly arose and went out
upon the hotel steps, when large drove
of mules passing by caught his eye.
He quietly watched them until the last
one had passed and then returned to his
seat by the stove. The Massachusetts
senator was still there, and as the re-
doubtable Davy dropped into his chair
asked:
swell, did you see your friends ?"
"Oh, yes' was the response. "They
look remarkably well, too"
''Didyouascertain their destination?
Certainly, sir.''
''And where are they going in such
solid body ?'
Crockett turned to the senator with
a quiet, calm expression and replied
''The blamed fools are all going down
to Massachusetts, to teach school ~
And then they gazed moment into
each others faces and sadly walked up
to exercise the bar keeper a while
