From Andrews American Queen.
CLEOPATRA
OR THE
Queen : Sheba's Beauty
WAS BUT SKIN DEEP.

The renowned Queen of Sheba, with all her
royal pomp, magnificent apparel, and brilliant
,et,nue would never have appeared within the
mr. sence of the grandest of the monarchs of the
,ast. had she not also possessed that which is
the crovniDg glory Of the female persona skin
unchallenged for its Oriental softness and its
almost transceudental purity. Cleopatra hold
ing emperors at bay, and ruling empires by her
word, had quickly lost her charm and power by
one attack of blotches, or Of pimples, or OF hor-
rid tan and freckles.
WOMAN RULES THE WORLD
By her beauty. not less than by her purity of
character, loneliness OF disposition and unselfsh
devotion, Indeed, in the estimation Of perhaps
too many men beauty in a body takes precedence
over every other consideration. Beauty thus
forms AN important part of woman's working
capital" without which too many Gf not DanK-

of every lady preserving with Jealous care lhat

WHY AMERICANS DIE.
Drinking, GluttOny, and Rapid Eating
among the Prominent Causes.


among the Prominent Causes.
At the Fourth Unitarian Church
New York, the Rev. George w
Gallagher, on Sunday evening dis
cussed the question, "Why are
americans dying out2"
"When we learn, said DR.. Gallagher
shat in the year 1880, the death rate
in New York was 2648 to 1000 in
habitants, that in the year 1881 the
rate was 31.08 per 1000 while in
London for the same period the
average death rate was 2214, and
that forty eight cities in the United
States during the same time exceed
ed the death rate of New York, it
becomes US to ask, Why are Ameri
cans dying outa In 1881. in this
city there were 1884 more death
than birth; and in the mounths OF
January and February, 1882, the
deaths exceeded the births by 2,446
In London during the yenr 1880,
there ware 81, 128 deaths and 1872
1913 birth, or 51.047 more births than
death. have considered these
facts worthy of close attention One
reason why Americans are dying out
is because they eat too much and too
fast A person studying closely the
habits of Americans can't converse
five minutes without something to
eat. Another reason why Americans
are dying out is because they drink
too much. The curse of our nation
is intemperance. A third reason
why Americans are dying out is be-
cause they gamble too fsat. We are
becoming nation of gamblers. This
spirit of gambling is undermining all
honest industries. Another reason
is disappointed ambition. We are a
nation of rivals. Each man desires
to lead his fellows. A republic has
many blessings, but it possesses one
disadvantage, the failure to satisfy
grasping ambition of its teeming
millions. The last reason for Ameri-
cans out is their false standard of
success, money. If man in Europe
fails in business, or loses his money
by some unexpected calamity, his
friends will still remain true to him,
as rule. But in this country let
man lose his fortune by adversely,
and he is quickly forgotten We
should not gauge the amenities and
duties of life upon persons bank
book. for in doing 80 we introduce
those causes of encouragement, 10
action, and national death which will
not only make Americans die out but
every nation under the sun"

IVb;la The nrnh ;hition of the sale al

While the prof. ;bition of the sale and
manu- facture of intoxicants is being agi-
tated throughout the country, we venture
to suggest another evil that is accomplish
almost, if not quite, as much harm in
the land as whiskey. We refer to the vi,
cious publications that are daily pouring
from tha press, such as the Police News,
the Life Gf Jesse James, and the hundred
and othe, corrupting and demoralizing
books and periodicals that find their way
into the hands of the average youth of the
land. All that many youths of the pres
ent time seem to want is copy CT one OF
these publications and seat in some
body else's easy chair, and then ne reads
and revels in the details of crime, made
attractive by the power of fancy and the
virtue of words, until he himself be,
comes half william, and ready for the
highway. Such an evil is as much a
subject of legislation as the use OF whis-
key or the violating of the Sabbath, or
any other immoral conduct, which the
very policy and spirit of all legislation in
christian countries forbid. We suggest
that our next legiS latpre take the matter
in hand, and by proper enactments, try to
save the rising generation from the blight
and ruin Of vicious books and papers,

A BOLD BANK ROBBERY.

CHICAGO, August l5.--The Morning
News Kawanee, Illinois special says this
afternoon two men called at the first Ma
tional bank of this city and asked permis-
sion to leave satchel for short time.
Abopt 6 o'clock, while cashier Pratt and
lady assistant were cashing up, the men
knocked on the door and asked for .he
satchel. Miss Palmer opened the door,
when one of the men grabbed her by the
neck and kicked her nearly insensible.
The other man rushed by her towards the
vault, near which Pratt was standing,
struck him on the head with revolver,
knocking him senseless. Pratt and Miss
Palmer were then forced into the vault.
The men then secured about 500 900, Of
which $4,000 was in gold, and walked out
of town. Pratt and Miss Palmer, after
working over an hour, succeeded in break
ing the locks and releasing themselves.
Both were badly injured. Parties are
securing the country in every direction.
No result up to midnight.
KEWANEE, ILL, August l5.-The bank
robbers were seen this morning near
Mineral, Ill. Parties are in hot pursuit,
with every prospect of arresting both men
before light. Over 1000 men are scouting
in every direction. Mr.. Pratt and Miss
Palmer are in bad shape to-day. Miss
Palmer is badly Bruised and feverish,
prostrated by excitement. Business houses
and shops are all closed. The owners are

Chiefengineer Morley, of the Iron
Mountain railroad, said to Gazette re-
porter few days since:
"We expect to be running cars into
Batesville early in November, This
Branch is being constructed with great
,apidity, our force being very large. AT
tsr finishing up the Knoble branch, rather
taan let the construction men scatter, we
put them all at work on the Batesville
road. The road will cross Black river
about three miles from Jacksonport."
The Newport Spectator says:
The work of clearing out and grading
on the branch road to Batesville is being
pushed forward with energy and yigor.
The route is lined with men and teams.
and the way they are taking hold augurs
az early completion to Batesville, thence

THE CROPS AkD PROSPECTS.

The abundant crops in Arkansas, and,
in fact, the whole country, indicate seas
son of unbounded prosperity. Every spe
cies of industry will throb with renewed
life under the genial influence of al abun-
dant harvest. The chief advantage to the
producer must come from the proper dis
position of his products The wasteful-
ness of many and the careless manage
ment of more, will impogerish them, even
though abundance we're granted them
each year. The fruit crop has been i'm
mense. How many farmers will have
anything to remind them of this six
months from date. The grain crop is ex-
cellent, but without care and economy 1t
will not greatly further the interests or
''fill the pockets" of those who produced
it, Corn will be sold by the farmer at
cost price and re.purchased in the spring
at hundred per cent profit to the dealer
"from the north" The hogs will be neg
lected and draw upon the northern
smoke.house at heavy per cent will be
the result These are plain facts which
every farmer in the state may we'll con-
slider There is danger from lack of
forethought and system in any business,
and it requires as much brains and busi-
ness tack to successfully manage farm as
to conduct bank OF railroad. The re-
sources of community may be, and Of
ten are, squandered without advancing
the individual or general interest of the
people, and thus in the midst of plenty,
want is always staring them in the face.
The great industries of country, the
wheels of progress, or the staple marks of
prosperity are not advanced or built up
by prohigacy or without care. The wealth
producing power Of a country like ours is
in its agricultural resources, and to cares
fully husband them is to add to the stock
of the people, individually and collect
