THE LAND OF SLEEP.

"Where lies the land. - Words,corth.
"Where lies TIE land OF which thy soul
would know"
Beyond the wearied world, the songless
dell,
The purple grape and golden asphodel.
Beyond the zone where streams baptismal
flow,
Where lies the land to which thy soul
would go?"
There were the unvexed senses darkling
dwell.
Where never haunting, hurrying foot
fall fell,
Where toll is not, nor builded hope laid
low.
Rest Rest to thy hushed realm how
one by one
Old Earth's tired Ages steal away ane
weep,
Forgotten or unknown, long duty done.
Al God when Death in seeming peac
shall steep
Life's loud turmoil, and Time his rae
hath run
Shall heart of man at length find res
and sleep?

Tony Pastor In Trouble.

~ Tony Pastor, OF New YORK, who Is
now with his inimitable variety COM
bina'ion making tour OF the princi-
pal cities of the Union, is recognized
as tie leading character vocalist and
variety performer of the United
States. He owns and runs first
class theatre on Broadway, New
York City, and has gathered about
him the best troupe Of variety artists
that could be obtained. The COM
pany has just completed a brilliant
engagement at the Walnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, and af.er the
present tour they will reappear in
Tony Pastors own Theatre il New
York City. Mr.. Pastor is the origi-
nator of his peculiar school of char
acter singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized
by his talents large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr.
Pastor recently at the Bingham
House, in Philadelphia, and found
him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public. During
our conversation l inquired as to his
physical health, and he replied that.
notwi' hstanding the strain upon him
in this discharge of his professional
duties, 1t was excellent. He had oc-
casionally severe pains, either the re-
suit of rheumatic attacks or colds,
but any complaints Of that character
never troubled him long, as he had
found out remedy for all such an
noying affections. I asked what the
remedy was. and he replied, "st. Ja-
cobs OIL" l then learned from Mr.
Pastor that he considered the Great
German Remedy an excellent pre-,
paration for thecure or relief of rheu
matism, and that it was about the
oaly thing used among professional
people for that distressing co
He took bottles of it with b
ever he went travelling, and would
not be without it, and knew that it
was very popular with a number OF
members of his own company. a
conversation held subsequently with
various members OF the organization
revealed the lac, that St. Jacobs OIL
nd been performing most invaluable
service tor them IN the way OF curing
them of rheumatism. Nearly ev ry
artist in the troupe used 1t, AID was
enthusiastic in its praise, and the
writer Was really forred to The con.
clusion that Tony Pastor was Ger
talniy In luck In having SO valuable
an article known and employed by
his lnlmltably good company OF per
formers, for it enabled every one to
be always in his place, thus insuring
comfort to the management and gen.
uine satisfaction tothe public. To
Pastor would certainly be in trouble
without St. Jacobs Oil. At least,
other managers whose artista have
been temporarily unsupplied, hsve
noticed the differ ence between ST
Jacobs Oil in stock and St. JAG, b.
Oil out of stock-among the meml err
of their compsnles.-N~% Clilpa

CONVICT LABOR.

The peorle of Saline county. Arkansaw, do not approve ofthe presen, system ofop- erating the penitentiay forces. Several days ago. Mir. Mill. Ward. son ofthe peni- ,entiary lessee, went down in Saline county and with party of convicts began 10 build house. The people of,he neighborhood are in favor of internal improvement but the improvement mus, not be conducted by consicts. They do not believe that it IS wrong for convicts to work but they don, think that i, Is righ, to submit them. during work. to the vulgar gaze of the crowd. Shortly after the con.icis began work. q committee. with double barreiled and revolving credentials, approached and informed MT. Ward tha, they could not work in that county, that if the attemp, were pushed. guns would go of and that somebody would undoubtedly be crippled. Mir. Ward ar sued but the committee explained the hopelessness of such oratoncal work. that the la5ering people of the county were prepared to fight. that they needed that kind of exercise as the crops had been laid by." and that if a movement in the direction of Little Rock were not soon made. the quiet of the neighborhood would be violently disturbed. Mr. Ward ceased to argue the question. herded his men on a car and came back to the city Now, the question IS. will the governor protect :he eonyiets. The lessee of the penitentiay has a right by law to employ convict labor on any work for which he may have been awarded contract. no matter whether or not the work be of public or -Tss.s..>----=.-assies--- -Ass- peanle of Saline county refuse ,o allow convict labor in their community. they are siolat- lns the law. From humane standpoint they are right. To put convict labor on the market IS degrading honest labor. The law in this respect should be changed. Dissatisfaction exists all over the country. and If the sentiment grows as !; has been for the past few years. i, will not be long until convict labor will be confined within the walls ot the peniieniiars

WAR RECORD.

il is about time for the people of Ark ansaw 10 stop talking about war horses. \ war horse Is necessary animal during war. bu, in peace. when nothing so be- comes man as modest stiffness and hu- rnility." the war horse should give way to the blow horse. A military record Is by no means qualification for civil office. \ man may have charged battery and killed gunner. but tha; is not a lesson in s,atesmanship.

GERMAN immigration to this country has materially fallen of This can be ac- counted for in various ways. One theory is the growth of prohibition. This may. in measure. be correct.

To the current number of the North American Re9if7e. Archibald Forbes contributes paper entitled the Ameri- can Army" He recognizes the difficulty in finding the American army: how i, is like tad-pole with enormous head and small body. bu, after he does find the field part of the war department. he draws an interesting comparison between the ad- van,ages of the defender of Uncle sam and the military promoter of the Queen $ interests He thinks that the United States soldier. if no, the most neatly equipped, is the bes,fed and mos, liber- ally paid man of war in the world" MT. Forbes paper contains great deal of useful information. and as collection of facts is valuable paper. bu, as a literary production, it is disjointed. Forbes has written so many hurried letters. amid the roar of battle. that all of his productions seem to be written with the haste of a telegrzphic dispatch.
