Miss Rosa Evans, of West Pearl
River, one of the guests at the Rex
ball, on Tuesday light, was indeed
the observed of all observers. Miss
Evans can doubtless boast of the
distinction of being "the largest lady
in the State" She is eighteen years
of age, and weighs 33S pounds. Her
height is above the average, and in
good proportion to her weight. Not
witlstanding her unusual size, she is
active and graceful, and Joined in
the dance with as much ease as any
Of the "lesser lights which shone
about her.-St. Tammany Farmer.

Lavater was a good observer when
he wrote: Mistrust the man who finds

Cattlemen from the Kiowa Reserya-
ton, in the Indian Territory, bring
the details of horrible murder on the
North Fork of Red River, the victim
being Mississippian, named Peter
Cook, and the assassin Louisianian,
named Toney Pine. Theparties were
brothers-in-law. At the close Of the
war Cook disguised himself and three
of his pals in the cavalry uniform OF
the United States service, ralded
Pino's premises, robbed his safe OF
$1,000, ravished his ster-in-law and
fed the country. Pine swoIe venge-
ance, and for fifteen years has been on
Cooks trail, with the above result.

The day after Senator Heyne OF
South Carolina delivered his celebrated
philippe against New England, and
Massachusetts in particular, Daniel
Webster answered it by the greatest
speech Of his life. All over the eoun-
try surprise was expressed that such a
mastery reply should have been com
posed in twelve hours.
But the fact was that Mr.. Webster
had been for years preparing that
speech, One of its strongest constitu-
tional arguments had been written a
long time before, as a professional
opinion. No occasion had called for
its public utterance until Mr.. Hayne
made one. Then the great orator had
but to marshal forces already equipped,
and hurl them at the assailant of his

Hunt, the artist, and seeing an elabo-

THE GOLDEN SIDE.

There is many a rest on the road Of life,
If we would only stop 10 take it,
And many tone from the better land,
If the querulous heart would wake it;
To the sunny sonl that is full Of hope,
And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth,
The grass is green, and the flowers are bright,
Though the wintry storm prevalent.
Better to weave in the web of life
\ bright and golden filling,
And to do Gods will with ready heart,
And hands that are swift and willing,
Than to snap the delicate silver threads
OF our curious lives asunder,
And then heaven blame for the tangled ends
And sit and gricve and wonder.

it an impossibility to operate a gun

with submerged muzzle, successfully,
as many engineers have done before

THE PERCHERON.N STUD
BOOK.
The Oldest rafr.IIOrne Record Ex.
taui.

One Of the most interesting and valuable
additions to American literature that it has
been our pleasure to examine is the Perch
eron- Norman Stud Book, contaipg history
Of the French draft races, also u record Of
all the Percheron horses ever imported from
France to the United States, aud all pure
brcds raised in this country. And is an
interesting fact in connection with this en-
terprise to note that the first edition Of Mr..
Sanders work is older than any Stud Book
of any breed OF draft horses either in Europe
or America.
This work, which may be obtained by
addressing the publisher, J. II. Sanders,
Chicago. ILL.,, and enclosing the price, $500,
will add greatly to the general knowledge
% this already famous race of horses, aud
will prove invaluable to those intending to
buy, or those who are breeding these horses.
THIS record will prevent the extensive i'm
position which has been practiced in many
quarters. of selling or offering for service ~
imported or pure bred Percherons, horses Of
inferior breeding. or those that are only
grades, hundreds of which are thus misrep-
resented throughout the country.
The Percheron horse in the few years
that have elapsed since the first importation
to this country has established reputation
never equaieu ny any other preeu. lheir
fine forms. great activity, aud remarkable
docility, combined with an abundance Of
courage aud stamina have made them gen.
eral favorites. But their greatest alue has
been found IN crossing them upon our ma
tive mares. The remarkable uniformity,
beauty and quality of the progeny so marked
in every case, has made them favoritcs
with the breeders as well as buyers whcr-
ever they are known. The demand for the
pure breds ia so great that their importation
has assumed immense proportions. Prairie
Farmer, Chicago.
