THE INFAMOUS sToCKADE.

A few private stones have been erected by
friends Of the dead, and stand in long white
lines like mounted officers among infantry,
and il takes but little stretch Of the imagin-
alton 10 make reality out of the picture set
forth in the beginning. Many have come TO
remove bodies Of relatives, but the grounds
are so well kept and cared for that few re-
movals have taken place. The marble slabs
are some OF them very beautiful, being mot
tied and yariegaied, and among so many
thousands some exquisite specimens occur.
Here and there appears 4 square stone
shorter than the rest, with a simple number.
Of an unknown grave. 1t strikes one with
mournful interest to see The frequency OF
ages 10 and 20, which appear on SO many
stones Nineteen seems TO be the average Of
ages.
But little is left of the stockade; the line
of red clay breastworks is, however, yet in
tact, and worn smooth by the tramp OF the
sentinel in gray, who years ago trod the
weary beat, scarcely better fed or clothed
than the poor wretches within. field of

THE PAPER WE USE.

Paper car wheels are composed en-.
tirely Of paper rings pressed together
under a weight Of six tons, and then
fastened by means of bolts, aud steel
tires put on them, when they are ready
lor use. Laid loosely the rings stack as
h1gh as the shoulders of an ordinary
man. Under treatment they sink to
the thickness required. Ii the tire
should wear or fall off the wheel, or the
train run from the track, there would
be no danger Of their breaking, as they
are very flexible and would spring.
A paper ball can be rendered so solid
that nothing but a diamond tool can
cause an indentation into it. At the
mill is a square block of compressed
paper fastened on turning-lathe and
SO hard that If fine steel chisel is held
against 1t when 1t Is moving, instead
of cutting the paper 1t will break the
chisel into a hundred pieces. The
strength Is astonishing. You can take
a5 note of the Bank of England, twist
1t into kind of rope, suspend $3.50
pounds upon one end of 1t, and not iu-
lS~AS ~ AsA sAAS SAAS NSkISSs
Bath.tubs and pots are formed by
compresstng the paper made out of lin
en- fbres and aunealed-that Is, painted
with composition which becomes
part thereof4and is fire-proof. The tubs
last indefinitely, never leak, and, put
in the fire, will not burn up. You can
beat ON them with u hammer and not
injure them.
Plates compressed and annealed are
very durable. You can not only wash
them, but drop them upon tho floor
and stand upon them. The fork can
be used for any practical purpose, and,
the knife can always be kept sharp.
Paper can be substituted for wood,
converted Into picture frames and col
ored like walnut, cherry, and the like.
Bedsteads are fashioned the same as
car wheels, only of long strips Instead
of rings. They are very beautiful and
lasting. Cooking or heating stoves are
also annealed, and it is impossible to
burn them out. They are less costly
than iron. A house can literally ba
and furnished with every
convenience in paper. ...5

The New York Trlbune's Washing.
ton correspondent, in "A letter on the
unofficial cabinet of the president, says
that Cameron, Of Pennsylvania, stands
closest to Arthur and has more inHu-
ence with him than "any other man."
and that next to him comes Senator
Jones, of Nevada, and Senator Logan,
of Illinois. Senator Jones is not a
"boss," and has no state organization
to build up. lie is not supposed to take
much personal interest in appointments
but to hold rather an advisory relation
to the president. He had strong in
fuence with President Grant, as a
counselor and friend, and Is thought to
stand in much the same place with
respect to President Arthur. General
Logan, it need hardly be said, is a
"boss," and, as the "boys" would say,
a "bully one at that" His great oh.
ject now is to control the election OF
the new United States senator from IL
iinois to his liking, and he has even
been suspected of being candidate for
the presidency in 1884, but, of course,
that depends upon what his master
"Arthur" says, and, all the world
knows he wants to be his own success
or. Logan will, therefore, have to be
content with being part of the "power
behind the throne greater than the
throne ITSELF"

HIDDEN TREASURE.
little Rock GaZette.l

| little Rock Gazette.1
In the latter part of 1868, when Gen.
Steele was commander of the post at
Little Rock, a Missourian named Rob't
II. Crowley, of Prices command, was
captured somewhere below the city,
borought here as a prisoner of war, and
confined temporarily in the State House.
From here Crowley was taken to Camp
Chase, where he remained until the
close of war. Yesterday Mr.. Crowley,
now an old man, arrived in this cit y.
Going to the State House, nc searched
for time among the Railways, and
finally took 800 bill from hole in
the wall.
"When ] was prisoner here" said
the old man,sT secreted hundred
dollar bill in crevice In the wall. I
knew it would be impossible for me to
keep the money through my prison
campaign, and thought by hiding it
I might in after years come and find it.
After I was liberated 1 went to my
home in Missouri where 1 resumed my
business of farming. At times l was
very hard pressed for money, but I did
not once think of the hundred dollar
bill which I secreted in tho Arkansas
Statehouse during the war. About a
week ago, while sitting with my family
after the days work had been accom-
plshed, and while was wondering how
1 could raise $50 with which to pay a
debt, happened to think of the hun
dred dollar bill. don't know why /
thought of it, and, in fact, cannot tell
for the life of me why I should have
ever forgotten it but l did both forget
and remembered it.
"The recollection of hiding the
money seemed like a dream. at the
time when I was prisoner was weak
and worn out. A 800 bill was not
very large piece of money. / did not
hide it carefully but seeing an oppor-
tunity to .ecrete the bill, wich believ-

LINCOLN's REMAINS.

a Springfield special says: Tho at
tempt to steal the remains of Mr..
Lincoln about three years since is re-
metnbered by almost everyone. Ever
since then the public, in fact everybody
| save half dozen persons or so intima-
tely connected with the Lincoln Monu-
lnent association, supposed Mr.. Lin
coins remains were incloscd in the
marble sarcophagus which stands in
the vestibule leading to the crypts,
where other members of tho family
are entombed. This is not SO, as your
correspondent learned to-day for tho
first time. All that remains Of Mr..
Lincoln have been buried in tho ground,
under some portion Of the immense
granite pile forming his monument,
ever since the attempted robbery, and
are now in u complete state of petrif-
cation. This startling statement is from
one who knows, and will be news to
all but few persons, as it was under
stood at the time that the etnbalmers'
work at Washington, Immediately after
the death Of Mr.. Lincoln, was not u
success, but bungfe. Soon after the
remains were entombed at this city, In
1866, it was said they were in bad
state of decomposition, and that the
was not working. This
seems to have been an error, us there is
no doubt but that the statement that
his remains have turned to stone Is
true.

EMERSON At HOME.
New York Times.1


Emerson appears to have acted his
own definition of a philosopher-he re-
ported to his own mind the constitution
of the universe. He looked calmly a,
everything, into it, through it; and
when aught came to him from within
or without he jotted it down, not
mentally merely, but actually. At
all times he followed the habit, In the
street or in his study, at midnight OF
morning. His wife, as the story goes,
sometimes asked him when he had
risen in the watches ofthe night. ssAre
you ill, Waldo:" "No, DEAR" from
the self-poised husband, "only an idea. y
He had been twice married, first, when
p, to Ellen l.. Tucker, of Boston, who
died few months after; secondly,
three years later, to Lidian Jackson,
of Plymouth, Mass. He has had three
children, a son and two daughters, who
are clever and capable. His home
at Concord is described as Il "plain,
square wooden house, standing in a
grove of pine trees, which conceal the
front and sides from the gaze of pas
sers-by." 1t has u hallway in the GEN.
tre, from which two large chimneys
rise. Besides the pine trees, there are
in the yeard tall chestnuts, while in the
rear stands large yellow barn. Half
an acre behind the house serves as
garden, in which fine roses grow, and
rare hOllyhOcks, of which latter he an
peared as fond as was Wordsworth.
from the hallway to the right,
the visitor finds plain square room,
lined on two sides with simple, wooden
shelves, filed with books. A large
table stands in the centre of
the room, covered with books and a
writing pad. There is a large
against the wall, above which
hangs Il copy of Micheal Angeles
"Fates." Busts and statuettes of men
prominent in modern reforms stand
upon the mantle-shelf, along with a
quaint, rough idol, which Mr.. En-
erson brought homo with him from the
Nile. Engravings hang upon the
walls, and the pine trees, in a little
wind, brush against the window panes.
Across the hall is the parlor-a large
room filling the southern quarter of
The house, the windows curtained in
crimson. In the Spring of 1873 this
house was nearly destroyed by fire, but
t was rebuilt after the original design.

"No, very little. His hair, it is

THE CIRCUIT COURTS.

N'osAS Va SuS JOuEutslS III lulS StAt0 OCt
advocating that the Legislature shoulG
propose the abolition of the Circuit
Court. This tribunal was created by
the Constitution of 1879, and never
having been adopted before in Louis
lana, was rather an experiment whict
has proved to be Of benefit to litigan nts
and saved the Supreme Court consider
able labor. Being thus impressed, ",
enter our protest against the proposl
tton, and hope, If the effort is made
will be defeated. Before this system
was adopted there were many persons
against whom judgments were rem
dered, unable to appeal to the Supreme
Court because of their inability to ppy
the costs, and in some cases being fol-
such large amounts would not incur
the expenses when doubtful of success.
Then tho cost was as much as a hun
dred and never less than twenty five
dollars. For the law required that u
transcript Of tho proceeding In the low
er court should be made, the arguments
of the attorneys to be printed at the
expense of the parties to the suit, be-
sides the charge of fifteen dollars
allowed the clerk of tho Supreme
Court. If this was not sufficient, he
was authorized to collect the amount
necessary to compensate him for his
services. In appealing to the Circuit
Court, this expense Is not to be incurred
for there is no transcript to be made,
the case being tried upon the original
papers, written instead of printed
argument, and the only cost is to the
clerk for copy of the minutes, filing
the bond and recording the opinion
and judgment of the Circuit Court
which never exceeds ten dollars.
The object of creating this court was
to economize law charges, enable those
of limited means to enjoy the right OF
an appeal, and to relieve the Supreme
Court of a portion of its immense and
tedious business. This it has accom-
plished, and we are astonished there is
such opposition. We concede that the
court is not pressed with work. This
should not be the cause, which is urged,
for abolishing it, but should be for ell
larging its jurisdiction, as 1t has proved
to be beneficial. There can be no bet
Ter system adopted, and by aboiishing
il, would work great detriment to the

the message: "Loaned for the part
you are to play" The bridegroom
construed the garment rs an insult, and
the guests unanimously agreed that
some decisive form Of resentment
ought to be shown. While the excite

equal perturbation, and explained that
the trousers should have gone to a fcl-
low for wear in an amateur entertain
