EUREKA BABY IDOL
THE FINEST AND ONLY AR-
 CHE0L LlGlCAi SPECIMEN
OF THE KIND EVER DISCOVERED IN
 NORTH AMERICA.
The Truly Wonderful Relic Pur- chased and Now Owned
 by Russellyillians.

Whoever says, or thinks. that Rus sellvilIe has no citizens of snap and enterprise is most egregiously mis- taken; and, in support of our claim that the average Russellviliian is about as wide awake and enterprising as the next man, we have only to set forth the fact that q quartette of our citizens have purchased. and now own, the truly wonderful relic known as the Eureka Baby-Idol-undoubtrdly the finest archaeological specimen that has ever been found in North America.
 Messrs. Campbell and Johnson, (both citizens of Pope county.) two of the original owners, and, the former the discoverer of the relic, arrived in our town some days ago with their prize, having started out on an extended tour for the purpose of exhibiting the intsr> esting antiquity. The quartette of Russellvillians above alluded to, seeing the value of such rare specimen, and with keen perception realizing the im- mense money that the exhibition of it will yield, at once entered into nego> tiations for the purchase of it, and on last Monday the transfer of title was made.
 The specimen is perfectly and won- derfully preserved, and is an object which will command the attention and enlist the eager interest of every stu dent and scientist. Archaeological re- search has never yet, perhaps unearth> ed q link which so unmistakably be- longs in the chain which cables us with the agss of thousands of years ago, and to gaze upon the stony fea- lures of the image is to have sea of questions flood the mind. Vague shad ows of past ages, and spectrss of tribes and nations who have slumbered and mouldered to dust, perhaps when the rosy morn of creation first dawned upon a world of chaotic darkness, fit across the imagination as we ponder over this remarkable object.
 To what tribe or nation the idol, if idol it be, belonged, or, if it be petri- fled babe which once breathed and basked in the full flush of physical life and existence, what blood coursod it's veins? At what age of the world was it deposited in its resting place at Eu- reka? From whence came the tribe, whither went they? What changes have the world and the human family undergone since? All these, and a myriad of other questions pertaining to the mysterious past crowd to the surface at the sight of this rare relic of antiquity.
 The fame which the Cardiff giant &C., quired some years ago has dimmed and faded away, but we make the prsdic- ton that the Eureka Baby-Idol will soon have fame wider. deeper and more lasting than ever did the Cardiff giant.

All persons in need Of eyeglasses suonld bear in mind that Dr. Sigis- mund Raber. the Russian optician will be in our city on the 17th, 18th and 18th inst. Give him call.
 We are glad to learn from Prof. Jones that the chances are good for us to secure the meeting of the State Teacher's Association at this place in July. This will be the first meeting of this Association outside of Little Rock, and the fact of the selection of Russell vile for the place of the next meeting shows the reputation of our little city. Let our people entertain this body roy ally.
 1.-The owners of the Eureka baby have kindly consented to place the baby on exhibition in this place to- morrow and next day and donate the proceeds to the college building now in pr ocess of erection. This is a com mendable move on the part of the man. akClncut du0 bHOSe WnO Ntoib buU bition will not only sec the greatest curiosity. but will contribute to cause that appeals to the better natures of all good citizens. We hope the exhibition will be largely attended.
 H--Whsn it was reported on the streets last Monday that stock company had been formed and sl0,000 subscribed for the purchase of the Eureka Baby, it created ripple of excitement. Upon investigation we ascertained that the company was composed of W. c. Rem frow, J. G. Ferguson. J. B. Evants and l.. M. Smith, and that they had pur- chased all right and title to the famous curiosity. We are inclined to think the investment good one, and calcu- lated to make handsome return for the outlay. Messrs. Renfrow and Fer guson will soon start upon the road with their Baby and make tour of the leading cities of the country.

Rejection of Bonds for Conversion Which

The Treasury Department has rejected
Tuesday for conversion into three and a half
per cents. Only such bonds as can be clearly
shown to have been SHIPPED OH Monday will be
received for conversion into the lower rate bonds

ing to notices received at the Treasury exceed the
limit of S2J0,O00OO0 to some extent. II cannot be
stated how mitch the excess viii amount to- as
the entries have not yet been figured up. As
closely as can be calculated at the present time
there are about one hundred and six millions Of
coupon five per cent. bonds outstanding which,
under the one hundred and third call of May Il,
can be presented for conversion into three and a
halfper cents. until July l. The coupon bonds not
presented by that time become redeemable on

of coupon five per cent bonds which had been con-
veTted into registered ves previous to the issuance
of the one hundred and third call and the amount

S20000000 it is thought that there viii be LETT for
redemption, by call or otherwise, about
seventy millions of registered five per cents.

the space was inadequate to contain the large

4 Public Meeting 4. the Interest OF tn
Animals.

The Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals held public meeting at the
Congregational Church last evening. There was
not a very large attendance, but there was great
interest manifested in the proceedings. The pres
ident of the society,
JUDGE MACARTHUR,
read letter from Henry Bergh, Of New York, re-
GREETING his inability to be present and address
the society. Judge Macarthur also read extracts
from the report of the executive committee OF the
society detailing its operations during the past
year. He then went on to speak of the cruelties
inflicted upon horses by their drivers in the city,
both by fast driving and the use of the various
devices in Harvesting Professor Gallaudet then
delivered an address in support of the objects Of
the society. He was followed by Rev. DR.. Paxton,
who said that he thought that the scope of the So
cety ought to be enlarged to include the pre-
vention of cruelty to children. Judge Macarthur
said it was the iention of the society to do this
and to apply to Congress for charter.
HON. GEORGE B. LORING
was then introduced and made the speech of the
evening He said that this question of the protec-
ton OF animals had two phases: First the econom-
ical; and second, the sentimental. 1t was his in
tention, with the consent of Congress- to establish
bureau of animal industries in connection with
the Agricultural Department, which will not col

noble work The value of the industry can hardly
be estimated. He then went on to speak of the eff
feet of these
ASPHALT PAYMENTS
upon horses. He said it was like walking over
marble pavement in patent leather shoes with
smooth soles. The horses were crippled and rem
dered almost useless, and lame horses were the
rule in this city. He thought that the bad effects
of the pavements might be counteracted by shoeing
the horses properly, and then making the floor OF
their stalls of brick or stone slightly damp. Upon
the conclusion of Commissioner Loring's address
Judge Macarthur invited the audience to become
members of the society and leave their names with
the gents of the society at the door.

A Compliment for Our Health.

speaks in very complimentary terms of the last

of what a municipal health report should be.
1t is not filed with vague essays on the Importance
of sanitary science in general, the be yirtuous
and you will be happy principle but is a
straightforward statement of what the department
has done and wishes to do. 1t contains report of
a sanitary survey of the District of Columbia, a
collection of the laws and ordinances relating 10
the public health and elaborate report on vital
statistics, composed mainly of tables There is all
interesting report on the outbreak of smallpox
which occurred in 1879, and the claim OF DR.. Town
sheud that efforts to stamp out small pox were
never more successfully carried out seem fully
warranted by the facts 4 regret is expressed that
only space for reference TO the statistics can be
given. It is refreshing, it says to find one city
with statistician VINO has been slightly under
estimating its population, as proven by the census,
fCT it is on the right side" "lf the health
department of every city in the United States
would do such work as this we should soon OBJ
tain some statistics worth having" This is a de-
served compliment, and DR.. Townshend CAN feel
justly proud fit, coming from such a source
