A Contrast.
Little Rock Gazette.


When A. I. Stewart, the New York
merchant prince, died, the newspapers
we're filled with the record OF his great
success in business; but no sorrow was
expressed. He was cold, harsh, ava
ricious; did nothing for mankind, and
is to day remembered emily as a man
who reared a colossal fortune. Re.
GENTLY, another rich man died in New
York-Peter Cooper. He, too, had
collected together much OF this worlds
goods. But men who could scarcely
resist an impulse to hurl a stone at
Stewards carriage as it passed them
by, were wont to remove their hats
10 reverence when Peter Cooper came
into their presence. His life was a
lengthy record of good deeds. He
loved his fellow man, and proved his
love by his acts, And when he died
every poor workingman in New York
felt that he had lost a friend. He
will live in the hearts of the people
long after the Stewards shall have
been forgotten.

The Jersey Fever in the North
west.
Farmers Home Journal.

Farmers Home journal.
1t is hardly necessary to say that the
Jersey is fancy and, at present in
common phrase, "all the co.. Jersey
sales of late have been like feasts
where there are not enough of the
chief viands to 60 around, This
craze" or what else you may choose
to call it, extends not only to imported
and registered cattle, but even to high
grades; and hundreds of these find
eager purchasers in every town and
village, and on most of farms, too.
The quiet little consumer Of short
rations and producer of large butter
rolls has fairly won its way into the
recognition of the lordly short horn
breeder. Although to do this it had
to remove a mountain of prejudice.
To say that Jersey cattle are in de
mand in the West is speaking mildly
indeed. Merchants want them, bank
ers buy them, clerks pay cash for them,
lawyers wait for them, dairymen can't
do without then, capitalists shut their
eyes and bid for them, and even the
children cry for Jersey calf

TIE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

On the first development of the dynamite
plots against England, and the showing
that they were being Matched in America,
this journal predicted that public senti-
ment would very soon demand reform in
our laws and treaties by which such con-
spiracies in America could be hunted out
and crushed that we could not afford to
countenance them under any circum.
stances. The voice of the Eastern press is
now being heard almost unanimously de-
handing the establishment of just such o
policy, and the papers quite uniformly
agree that the people are pronounced in
their expression in favor of placing under
the ban of the law the infamous men who
lead in these cowardly dynamite assaults.
We quote the expression of one representa-
tive journal as illustrative of the general
tone of the American press. Says the
New York Tribune of the DIST "The
dynamite plots ought not to be considered
political offenses. They cannot be said to
have single redeeming feature. They do
enormous harm to Ireland. They are a
blisteripg disgrace to America. They are
wanton crimes against civilization. If
American law does not provide for the re.
preston and punishment of those who are
primarily responsible for such crimes, as
we fear it does not, it ought to be amended
in the interest of civilization"

1t is not often that an actress has it in

to confer benefit on the whole country
