Arkansas Rice.

The Little Rock Gazette, in mak ing mention of the culture of rice in this State, says:
 MT. II. Prothrow has left at the Ga zette office q bundle of rice grown on hls. farm on the Little Maumelle. The stalks are about five inches long, and the heads, heavily laden with plump and solid grains, are about nine inches long. The quality Is said to be excellent. Mir. Proth. row understands all about the cul- ture of rice, as he came to this state from South Carolina, where he cultl- vated it. There are almost innu. merable species and varieties of rice, and one of them is said to thrive best in high lands and on the sides of mountains. It is known as the Cochin China variety. What spe- cies this rice of Mir. Prothrow be- longs to he did not say. Rice, as an article of food, is used by more mil lions of people than any other cereal grown, except wheat. Judging from the specimen stalks received, there is reason to believe it could flourish and be proftably grown in Arkan- sas. By way of variety, and as an experiment, it might be tried in a limited way by others than MT. Prothrow.

Is Drunkenness A Crime?
New Orleans Times-Democrat.


 The Social Science Association of America, which met at Saratoga re gently, discussed the question of drunkenness and its cure and pre- vention. As to the amount ot evil, moral, physical and industrial, work ed by it,all the delegates were agreed, and their speeches might serve as orations for prohibition campaign; :; but just how to prevent drunken ness, was question on which there was wide diversity of opinion.
 A large and important faction of the association, constituting perhaps majority of it and including such distinguished gentlemen in the world of science and religion as Prof. Fran cis Wayland and Rev. Irenaes Prime, of the New York Observer, held the advanced doctrine that drunkenness was crime and not disease, and that it ought to be punished severe ly. Prof. Wayland ranked it with in the second degree (our manslaughter), and suggested i'm prisonment for life as the proper punishment for tue habitual drunk ard.
 Another wing considered drunken ness as a disease, and urged the es- tablishment of hospitals for its treat ment, where drunksrds were to be put under the same course of treat ment as lunatics. Judge Peabody, who acted as the spokesman of those who advocated this more lenient treatment of dipsomaniaa as q disease, called attention to the progress and improvement recently made in our treatment of the insane, who were no longer confined in cells, chained and whipped. We had learned that nor al treatment was the proper system of dealing with the insane, and he could not understand why inebriates should be more harshly treated.
 Another plan urged by Mr. Car roll D. Wright was to disfranchise ineb:iates, refusing them all the rights of citizenship, taking from them the control of .hcir property, and placing them under care of guar dians until they could furnish satis- factory evidence of reform.
 Such are the plans, proposed by one of the most influential and liber- al associations in this country, for roofing out intoxication, all of them harsh and severe in the extreme, and showing very little leniency to the victim of drink. All the dele gates, while favoring these various plans, also favored prohibition, which they thought absolutely nee essary for temperance.
 Such strong indorsement will un- doubtedly strengthen and encourage the Prohibitionists in the crusade they are now making in the North ern States against liquor. Never have they been stronger and more aggressive than this year, and ln Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Nebraska and Wisconsin they are waOino a hitter and rplanfiaaa war on

George William Curtis on the
 Nominations.

George William Curtis, in letter to the secretary of the New York Civil Service Assoclation, says Judge Folger's ability and charac- ter are not in question, but the ques- tion is that the nomination was pro- cured by the combined power of fraud and spatroDage, and to sup port it at the polls would be to ac- quiesce in fraud and patronage as legitimate forces in. a nominating convention. Every good citizen is bound to resist to the utmost such a wrong to free institutions, and the only effectual way in which voters can emanciRate themselves from the corrupt and debaslng rule of the machine is to defeat it's candidates. This, believe, will be done decis- lively by the voters of New York and Pennsylvania at the election this autumn. They will see their party defeated rather than fraud and cor ruption of patronage triumphant Events in both States show that no graver political reril now confronts the country than the complete sub jugation of the party by unscrupu- lous cabals, which bribe with public employment and pay their way by filching from the public treasury. Thls is an evil which will end in violence, unless it is conclusively re- buked by the people at the polls.- New York Telegram.

Crystalized Grasses.

A contributor to the St. Louis Post Dispatch gives the following recipe for crystalizing grasses:
 Upon one and one half pounds of rock alum, pour three pints of boil ing water, when partially cool, pour into wlde. mouthed vessel. Bunch the grasses tied securely, dip into the liquid, then fasten it to stick across the mouth of the vessel, allow it to drip and cool. If not sufficiently covered with crystals reheat the liq uor and redip the grasses. Do not allow it to become too heavy. Col bring, if desired, may be had in the use of a few added drops of aniline dyes.

A SeIt Evident Fact.

"Plate sin with gold," says the poet, "and the strong lance of Jus tice hurtless breaks, Arm it in rags, a pigmy's straw doth pierce it."- This same principle applies to thous- ands of quack medicines now in the market Extrayagant and spacious and elaborate wrap pings are the means employed to swindle a credulous public. One trial proves the worthlessness of the article. Dr. Swayne merely calls at tention to his Ointment for itching piles, relying entirely upon It's meris for it's sale. Intense itching after getting warm in bed is now thing Of ~ past.

From The Spirit World.


 Col. Bill Nye, the witty editor of the Laramie City (Wyoming) Boom erang, disposes of the aspirlt world" correspondent of Brick" Pomeroy's 8 paper in the following graphic style:
 Pomeroy's Great West is the only paper on our exchange list that has correspondent in Paradise. Under this heading last week the New Je rusalem special to the c. w. gives us quite description through spirit influence of the sunlit ultimately:
 ''FRoM THE SPIRIT WORLD.
 The messages from the spirit life in the Land of the Leal, which we present from week to week in The Great West, comes to us through the mediumship of A. c. Towner, of Buff falo Creek, Colorado, who, Tn his mountain home, far removed from the rushing, crushing, clashing, rag ing, conflicting business interests, receives communication which are very interesting, the genuineness of which we doubt not. They are prom ised to us each week, and form very entertaining and interesting feature of this paper, and if preserved in scrap book form will at the end of a year be worth more than the cost of the paper for q year."
 Under this notice the spirit cores pondent proceeds to give kind of high-priest description of heaven, showing it's geographical boundaries, it's advantages over hell for evenness of temperature, together with many features that the average newspaper reader wots not of.
 In describing one of the rooms in heaven he goes on at some length to speak of the furniture and it's notable features. He enlarges upon the at tractIveness of the sofas, the chairs, the store carpets, etc, etc., in the most free and easy style, as though he had been the architect of that wonderful mansion.
 Now sometimes we are accused of being sacreligious and only the other day we picked up paper in which a potato -nosed child of Satan stated that Bob Ingersoll and Bin Wye had formed partnership to burlesque christianity, but we rise to state that the careful student of The Boomer ang will find that true christianity and true religion are not burlesqued here. It is the fraud and the Jim Crow, and the bogus that we are ai ter, and we hope that our tongue will cleave to the roof of our intellect when we omit to climb the sham christian with the first weapon we can get hold of and knock him into the darkest corner of space. That's the way we feel about the newspaper man who claims to write gossippy letter from the glory world, for pub licatlon in Pomeroy's Great West It shocks most anybody who has formed in his mind an idea of heaven and hattered himself that it wasn't open to the horse reporter of a green back paper. No, gentle reader, do not accuse us of speaking lightly of sacred things when we say that a man like that ought to be jammed up against the woodbox iu perdition and compelled to wear a buffalo over coat through all eternity.
 We cannot picture in our plum colored and vivid imagination, a greater insult to christianity than a purported letter from the New Jerusalem printed in q greenback paper. We wonder that q swarm of cockroaches does not rise up out of the Platte and chase Brick Pomeroy into the A. and F. tunnel and polish his bones.

WOMAN.
HOPE FOR SUFFERING WOMAN!


 SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
 By reason of her peculiar relations, and her peculiar ailments, woman has been compelled to suffer, not only her own ills, but those arising from the want of knowledge, or of consideration on the part of those with whom she stands connected in the social organi- zation. The frequent and distressing irregularities peculiar to her sex have thus been aggravated to degree which no language can express. In the man. sions 0fthe rich and the hovel of the poor alike, woman has been the patient victim of ills unknown to man, and which none but she could endure--and W ithout remedy. But now the hour of her redemption has come. She need not suffer longer, when she can ind re- lief in Dr. J. Bradfleld's Female Regu- kfNynrnos,3c Raof ErfanH " Pre-

A NuintSS IUuIudt HaS fedcHeu tue ripe age of 1,500 years. It's editor muft have good stock of cordwood coming in on subscription. A man named Smith, was hung down east the other day, and sald he would "Meet death like true sol dier of Christ" If that is the way s'soldier of Christ" meets death we had rather be accused.
 A man over in Kalamazoo has in vented ballot box which he claims will defy the ballot box suffer. All such efforts to purify politicals elec- tions should be frowned down, as where would the fun in election with out any swindling.
 An effort is to be made to raise oysters in Salt Lake Utah. It seems as though it might be done, if they go at it right. Oysters have been raised from boarding house soap, but eternal vigilance is the price of oys- ters, It should be understood.
 The composer of that little ballad, "See that my Grave is Kept Green" was sentenced to serve out two years in the Michigan penitentiary for fraud. He needn't worry, his grave will be kept green for the present.
 Some one proposes to start new party, with "honesty" for the corner stone. It seems as though the orig inators of the new party might skir- mish around and find men enough for the corner stone, but would there be enough of us for the rank and file?
 An article is going the rounds headed Could Garfield have LivedY We did not read the article, but sup pose that it proves conclusively that if the late president had not been shot he might have lived. Science proves many wonderful things.
 WhileJay Hubbell may not feel bad on account os the references made to him by the press of the country because of his alleged high way robbery of clerks in the gov ernment employ, yet that horrible looking wood cut that is going the rounds purporting to represent that gentlemen must make him sick.
 An exchange asks in heading "Why Don't Men Go to Church?' We don't know, but perhaps it is because the seats are uncomfortable and man who tries to go to sleep in them finds his spine tied in a double bow knot. But maybe the men will go to church now as soon as the duck season is over, and fish ing plays out.
 It is said that there are seventeen hundred clerks in the pension de- partment.s Why would it not be a good plan to turn the clerks out to grass and give the soldiers who are drawing pensions Job? The clerks could be voted pension afterward if it was necessary. It probably takes as many book keepers to keep track of the pay of the clerks as it does clerks to keep account of the pensions.
 There is something the matter with the ministry of the country, and unless some explanations are made it will be mighty hard work to get any of us good men to occupy the pulpit. A minister tainted away in his pulpit the other day, another was stricken with paralysis day or two after,and now an Illinois preach CTS is in swoon and the people can't tell whether he will live or not.
