A Mysterious Affair.

After the departure of the 1910
south-b bound train on the l.. IL N.
road here last Thursday night, wo,
man went into the Southern Pacific
Hotel and registered from Little
Rock. She said she came from Nash
vile, and went south on the c., S t..
l.. u N. o. road yesterday. She
told the clerk that a railroad man, on
the arrival of the train, had her to
leave the cars on the opposite side
from the hotel, when he knocked her
down and carried her to gully,
where he attempted to outrage her
person. She also claimed that she
could recognize the man if she could
see him again. The mysterious part
of the affair is, that several men were
on the platform on the arrival of the
train, and we have heard of only one
man who says he heard cries for help.
The others say they could easily have
heard her. One or two also tell us
that she was under the influence OF
liquor. For fear we might possibly
do her injustice, We suppress her
name and forhear further comment.

Dancing a Fine Art,

A New York master expressed the
following opinion in regard to the
proprieties of round dances:
What is your idea of the modern
mode of support in round dancingw
my idea Is that as it is seen at
public balls and Long Branch hops
it is most inelegant, ill-bred, i'm
modest and unnecessary. A ladv
who dances well gracefully maintains
her independence of motion and a
perfect balance The moment she
becomes a clinging vine and allows
her head to rest ON a mans shoulder
and his arm to embrace instead of
support her, she shows not only a
shocking lack of refinement, but Of
good dancing, and impedes her part.

What do you consider the proper
support"
1.-The gentleman should take the
lady's right hand in his left, and she
place her left hand upon his shoulder

gentleman should rest his right hand
gently on the lady's back, near the
waist, and both should stand on par.

right shoulder, the lady turning her
head slightly to the left. Both should
bend the upper part of the person
slightly, 80 that the shoulders should
not be more than four inches apart,
and the hands that are clasped should
remain only few inches from the
person, not allowing the wild sticking

this grouping there is no more con-
tact of person than in a lady taking a
gentleman's arm for walking. But,

"Among what nation do you find
the best dancers?"
"Forty years. observation and ex-
perience has led me to conclude that
American women are the best dancers
in the world. The Germans are very
correct and easy, but not graceful;
the English put too much struggle
into it; the French are inclined to
angularity; but the American woman
is by nature supple and graceful,
learns with facility and has the Vi
tality that takes the place of strength"

A Rise in Railroad Iron.

At the battle of Groveton, Stone.
wall Jackson tried an experiment
which nearly frightened a Federal
division out of their boots. Bars OF
railroad iron were cut up into foot
lengths, and fired from some of his
heaviest guns, the noise these mis-
siles made as they went sailing
through the air was sort of cross
between the shrek of a woman and
the bray of a mule. The Federals
listened in wonder to the first few
which banged through the tree-tops,
and presently one of the pieces fell
just in front of a Pennsylvania regi-
ment. A captain stepped forward to
inspect it, and after turning it over
he rushed to his colonel with the
news.
Colonel, them Internal rebs are
firing railroad iron at u.s."
"Nop
"They are, for factw
captain, advance your company
to that ridge and deploy, and the
minute you find Jackson is getting
ready to fire freight cars at us send

exterminated in the regular way

Tying her bonnet under her chm,
She hid her raven ringlets IN;
Rut not alone in the silken snare
Did She catch her lovely floating hair;
For tyinr her bonnet under her chm,
She tied young mans heart within,
They were strolling together up the hill,
Where the wind comes blowing merry ana
chilli
And it blew the curls frolicsome race
All over her happy peach-colored face.
Till, scoding and laughing, she tied them III
Under her beautiful, dimpled chin.
And il blew color bright as the bloom
Of the pinkest fuchsia's tossing plume
All over the cheeks of the prettiest girl
That ever imprisoned n romplng curl,
OR, in tying her bonnet under her chin,
Tied a young mans heart within.
Sleeper and sleeper grew the hill;
Madder, merrer, chillier still.
The western wind blew down, and played
The widest tricks with the little maid,
As tying her bonnet under her chin,
She tied young mans heart within.
o Western Wind, do you think it was fair
To play such tricks with her floating hair?-
To gladly, gleefully do your best
To blow her against the young mans breast:
When he as gladly folded her in
And kissed her mouth and dimpled chin.

An hour ago, when you besought
This country lass to walk with you
After the sun had dried the dew,
What perilous danger you'd be in,

How to Make a Boquet.

The following instruction for max
ing boquet, by ,"An Artist" in the
Garden, may furnish some useful
hints to many of our readers: "For
a flat boquet, take first mass OF
white, it may be truss of white ge-
ranium, a double white stock, or
clemaits; or for small boquet a
bunch of the small double pyrethrum;
then scarlet or orange, as, for in
stance, a double scarlet geranium,
Tom Thumb nasturtium, or any bril-
liant orange; put any of these next
the white on one side Of it; then take
red, a bright rose, and the brighter
the red the nearer it should be to
the white, so that other duller reds
may be beyond it (by red is meant all
colors of crimson, but red is the true
designation); place these on the
other side of the white. Some very
dark, almost black, flower, may be
also brought near the white, but only
very little of that color; and beyond
the scarlet a very little bit OF blue,
such as that of an Emperor William
pansy or little sprig of lobelia
Beyond the red have purple and vel
low brought together, and on the
other side piccotees, though any flow
ers that have broken colors will do;
your taller flowers, as pentstemon1s
(the blue kind makes an admirable
background), dark-colored fuchslas
(some flowers or leaves Of brownlsh
hue should interpose beyond the
blue); and the last to introduce
should be the maiden-hair fern;
Make this boquet in your hand, ana
avoid too much formality, as the col
ors will generally arrange themselves
with sufficient effect and force
though they may intermix little;
If a round boquet the white should
be in the center, with the above az,
rangement of colors in masses around
the white. When your boquet IS
large enough, tie it round in the
middle of the stems, cut them Oh
evenly, and drop it into a vase OF wa,
ter. Two principles may be followed
in making up boquet: one, harmony
and contrast of color; the other,
force of light and shade; whichever
is chosen to begin with, pure wnlle
is absolutely necessary II only
composed of a single white flower,
it should be the largest mass Oh In'
whole.

A French statistican has come to
the conclusion after a very elaborate
examination Of the number of deaths
from railway accidents in all parts
Of the world, that if a person were
to live continually in a railway car
riage and spend all his time in travel
ing, the chances in favor Of his dying
from railway accident would not
occur until he was $50 years old.

The Old Man of Forty.

"Only one more week, and then we
shall reach home" said Kitty Howell,
as she threw herself down on sofa
in the little tavern.
"Tired of travel, Kitty" asked her
father.
II am tired of railroad cars and
hotels at any rate"
II was thinking of staying here a
few weeks"
"Here?"
Kitty sat bolt upright in the excess
of her astonishment.
"Not in the tavern. You like
stories, Kitty. Come here, and Twill
tell you one"
Tossing aside her bonnet and
sacque Kitty complied with the re-
quest, and while her father softly
stroked her long hair he said:
"When 1 was in college, Kitty, /
had a roommate, to whom l was
warmly attached. He was a shy,
silent young man, very studious,
rather good looking, and with a love
of quaint books and pursuits. My
dear, TO make long story short, we
both fell in love, and, unfortunately
with the same woman. He was so
quiet, 80 reserved, while 1 was so hot
headed that never dreamed of his
passion till I told him I was an ac-
cepted lover, and then his secret
came out"
1T was painful to me to be the
rival of my warmest friend" con-
tinued Mr.. Howell, "but your mother
loved me, and did not dream of
Walters passion, and he begged me
to keep his secret. He left college to
return home, and we did not meet
again. When you were born, he
wrote me congratulatory letter; and
two years later, when / lost your
mother, he wrote again, but that was
all. Being very rich he has never
had any business or profession, but
lives q bachelor in his shy, quiet way.
To-day / met him; he resides near
here; and he begged me to pass
few weeks with him"
"Now old is he?"
"Let me see-Walter was nearly
two years my junior; he must be
about forty. How time fliesl Well,
Kitty, shall we pay the visit7"
II suppose we must"
"How stupid" soliloquized Kitty,
drumming impatiently at the window
pane. can old man of forty in
country town. It's October, too, and
/ haven't thing fit to wear this
winter. / wonder how long papa will
stay. My first winter in society, and
aunty promised an unlimited amount
of parties"
Things looked brighter the next
morning, for the drive to Mr.. Soules
residence was through a lovely part of
the country, and when they stopped
Kitty could not repress an exclama-
ton of delight. The house, large,
beautifully-built marble mansion,
was nestled at the end of an avenue
of tall trees, and at the base of a
wooded hill which rose behind it.
On the porch stood their host, still a
very handsome man.
"This is kind" he said, grasping
Mr.. Howelps hand, "and this" He
stopped, and looked at Kitty, saying
softly: Every like, very like. I am
glad to see you, my child"
Kitty, in all her life, had never
heard a sweeter voice than the one
that welcomed her, and she followed
the maid to her room thinking the
visit might not prove so great a bore,
after ali. The two gentlemen stood
on the porch looking after her.
aKitty! You call her after her
