A Marx Twain Letter.

Ark. Traveller.
The following letter, written by
Samuel Clemcns-'Mark Twain"-
has never heretofore been publish

river man, once of New Orleans
but now of Little Rock:
MEMPHIS, July 6, 1859.
MY DEAR JoHN:--I have made
many attempts to answer your let
ter which received a warmth of
welcome perspiringly in keeping
with the present system of hot
weather; but some howl have fail
ed. Now, however, l screw my
self down to the pleasant task. 1t
is a task, let me tell you, and it is
only by the courtesy eff friendship
that l car call 1t pleasant,
l have been wondering lately
what in the name of Mexican cul-
tivation and fat-boat morality is to
become of people, anyhow. Years,
now, l have been waiting for the
summers to become cooler, but up
to the present moment of agony |
see no change. / wish there was
some arrangement by which we
could have the kind Of weather we
want; but then l suppose l would
call for an arrangement by which
we could make a living without
work. What a fool old Adam was.
Had everything his own way; had
succeeded in gaining the love o.
the best looking girl IN the neigh
borhood, but yet unsatisfied with
his conquest he had to eat a mis-
cradle little apple. All, John, il
you had been in his place YOU

No, | am not in love at present.

to write to him, and have tried a
dozen times but each letter seemed
like a love letter"
~ could stand no more, and ex-
claiming Ella l rushed from my
hiding place and caught her in my
arms. The man looked on for q
moment and turned away.
Sour arrangements we're soon
completed. Our wedding was
quiet and simple, and Immediately
after the ceremony we started for
my home in Arkansaw.
1--WE began housekeeping at
once. and | know there was not a
happier man in town than L. One
evening while Ella and 1 were sit
ing in the twilightshe said :
II never saw a man so little in
terested in any ones history as you
are. You have been acquainted
with me along time, now and have
never asked me anything about my
FORMER sell.
"Your present self" l replied
belongs to me I; your former self
did not. am never anxious about
anything that does not belong to
me-"
"Do you know that l used to
live in this state"
did you 2" l askedin surprise.
Yes" she added in a saddened
tone. II have been three times
married. My first husband was a
man named Dawes, but he was a
bad man, and died by the hand of
the law"

it is expected that these figures will
be doubled when action is reached

Land Frauds.

Over 600 reports have been re-
ceived by the commissioner OF gen
eral land Office from thirty special
agents engaged in Investigating
fraudulent land entries up to July1.
In many cases supplementary re-
ports have been called for covering
points which are not sufficiently
specific to warrant official action.
About thirty-fve reports have sufi-
cient evidence of fraud to Justify
the land office in summarily can
ceiling the entries. The records
show without. exception that the
entries whether homestead or pre-
emtion, cover the full area Of land
allowed by law, namely, 100 acres.
The land already restored to the
public domain, upon the reports of
these agents aggregates about So
600 acres. A great deal is locat-
ed in rich valleys and is held by
the government at double the min
imum price, 50. so per acre. The
approximate saving to the govern
ment already affected by the secret
service decision of the general land
office Is estimated at 1926, 900 and

THE JUDGES WIFE.
Arkansaw Traveller.

Judge Shickleton, one of the
most prominent %jurists in Arkan-
saw, at banquet the other night
related an interesting Renaissance
of the early days of Arkansas. 81
came here" said the Judge, 'just
after I had been admitted to the
bar in 4 northern state. Like the
average young lawyer was poor
and actually thirsted for a case.
Shortly after l arrived, | went to a
mountain district, and stopped at a
small town where court was in ses-
sion. There was considerable ex-
element in the town over the trial
Of q young man who had been in
dicted for murder. The older law
yers were 10th to engage in the
prosecution, SO the younger prose
cutting attorney was working single
landed. | met him the second
day after my arrival, and when he
earned that l was a lawyer he
said
II am glad to see you, for 1
know that as a young man in the
profession, you of course want an
introduction to the people of the
state. Nothing SO quickly and eff
tectually introduces a man like par
tlcipancy in All important case. l
am at present prosecuting a young
man for murder, a young fellow
named Dawes. He is guilty as
guilty can be, and should by all
means hang, yet l fear, with SO
much opposition, hal l will not be
able to assist justice to a proper
punishment of the terrible crime.
Now what | want you to do is to
assist tine"
81 did not at all relish the idea
that my case should be that of
tragedy, and that my first money
derived from law should be blood
money, but seeing no other open.
ing, and fearing that none other
would present itself, l consented.
Just before we reached the argu-
ment in the case devolving upon
me. This, TO me, put a dreadful
phase on the affair, and for q time
1 meditated whether or not / would
run away from the country and
seek my fortune elsewhere, but
finally deciding that l could never
become a lawyer without making
sacrifices in the discharge of my
duty, | resolved to remain and do
my best. / studied the case care
fully. | went to the place a short
distance away, and examined the
ground, where the murder had been
committed, l found a witness who
had not been summoned, and on
the whole did good detective work.
The arguments began, | nerved
myself to the point and made the
best speech l could possibly formu.
late. l was somewhat surprised at
the interest l was taking in the
case. The prisoner, a handsome
fellow would at times look at me
in mute appeal, but l knew that he
was guilty. l established the fact
that the defendent had q~uarreled
with an old man named Shannon,
and that shortly afterwards he went
10 Shannon's field and shot him
fsom the fence. / made every
point so clear that l could see the
iurymen shaking their hoods when
an illustration was strikingly vivid.

FARME MERS' COLUMN.
Science in Farming.

We have much poor land in the United
States and an immense area Of good land.
The poor land will be used 10 grow timber,
or be improved by converting more or less
Of it, gradually, into pasture, and stocking
IL with sheep and cattle. The main point
is, to feed the sheep or cattle with some
rich nitrogenous food, such as cotton-seed
cake, malt sprouts, brau, shorts, mill. l.feed,
refuse beans, or bean meal made from beans
injured by the weevil, or bug. In short,
the owner of such land must buy such food
as will furnish the most nutrment aud
make the richest manure at the least cost
taking both Of these objects into consider
alton. He will also buy more or less arti-
fetal manures, to be used for the production
OF fodder crops, such as corn, millet, Hun
garian grass, etc. And, as soon us a por.
tion of the land can be made rich enough,
he will grow more or less mangel wurzels,
sugar beets, turnips, and other root crops,
Superphosphate will be found admirably
adapted for this purpose. and two, three, or
tour hundred pounds Of cheap potash salts,
per acre, can frequently be used on fodder
crops, in connection with two or three hut
dred pounds of superphosphate, with con
siderable profit. The whole subject is we'll
worthy OF careful study. Never in the his
tory of the world has there been grander
opportunity for the application of science
to the improvement OF agriculture than
now.
On the richer lands, the aim Of the far
mar will be to covert the plant food lying
dormant in the soil into profitable crops.
The main point is good tillage. In many
cases weeds now run away with half our
crops aud all our profits. The weeds which
spring up after the grain crops are harvest
ed, are not an unmixed evil. They retain
the nitrogen and other plant food, and
when turned under make manure for the
succeeding crops. But weeds among the
growing crops are evil, and only evil
Thorough plowing is the remedy, with
drainage where eeded.-JosEPH HARRIS,

Wind to Some Purpose.

Enough wind power goes to waste every
year to drive all the machinery which will
be used in the State for century. This is
due 10 the fact that, as yet, wind power can
only be used with profit for work not re-
quiring uniform, steady motion. All the
wind mills in use IRE to some extent self
regulating. The wind is constantly vary.
irg in force, and the motion of the mill
varies with it, but not to the same extent.
Most mills will stop entirely in heavy
storm. In some Of the very large wind
engines, a regulator is used which approx
mates to uniform speed. But even ii som.
one should make mill so regulated as to
run steudily-at the same speed-with .
varying wind, the difficulty would still be
but partly overcome. Sometimes just when
work is most needed, the wind stops blow.
ing and nothing can be done.
With the mills now in use, and capable
# wthstandirg any storm not great enough
to destroy ordinary buildings, all the minor
operations of the farm, such as churnng.
cutting feed, sliclng roots, etc, may be done,
provided some cheap method of storing up
power shall be discovered. The wind mil,
should be 50 arranged that when not need
ed Tor pumping, it may run and store VI
power, TO be used for few hours at a time
when needed.
Several ways have been suggested for
storing power. but all are open to some Oh
jections. One is, to pump water from IA
lower level TO higher, into a reservoir to
be used in driving machinery in the usui !
way. The objections to this plan which
FIRST suggest themselves are thai there
would be considerable waste from eyaporat-
