BURNED In EFFIGY.
A Party Of MeEphis Drummers at Rus
sellville, Ark, Express Their In
dignatfen at the Unjust
Determinations Of the Little Rock and
Fort Smith Railroad Against Mem
phis--Their Reasons.

The merchants OF the city, and particu-
larly the travelling men they employ, are
loud in their complaints of the outrageous
manner in which the Little Rock and Fort
Smith railroad discriminates and has dis
criminated for a long time against Mem
phis. The railroad is l65 miles long, con-
Meeting Little Rock with Fort Smith, and
passes through one ,sof the best sections of
the State. There are a number of towns
along the line, the leading oaes being
Ozark, Russellville, Clarksville, Conway
and Atkins. Dardanelle is but short
distance from it. The merchants of Mem
phis have for a long time had an
eve upon this section, which they
claim to be their rightful territory,
and lately have.succeeded, in spite of the
disad dvantages shder which they labored,
in establishing B pretty fair trade. 1t is
now claimed that after they have done
this and haxe established their right to
the cotton raised there, that the Little
Rock and Fort Smith railroad is about to
undo all they have done, and has adopted
a scheme by which st. Louis gets the cot
ton and not Memphis. Memphis drum
mers must pay about S35 for Communication
1000-mile tickets, and it is said to be even
difficult to obtain these, as Bennett, the
agent of the road who has headquarters
at Little Rock. declines to allow his deputy
to issue them, but forces the travel
ing men to wait sometimes two
or three days until his return to Little
Rock, from which he is frequently absent.
But the st. Louis drummers, it is claimed,
have no such difficulties thrown in their
way, but on the contrary are given free
passes over tho road by Bennett. BY this
means they are enabled to pay better
price for catton than those who defray
their railroad expenses The Memphis
men, whether their wrongs are real or
fancied, have borne them patiently a long
time, but have lately become thoroughly
aroused and determined to find remedy.
At Russellville, town on the line OF
the road named, large number OF them
met few days ago and condemned its
officials in unmeasured terms. Resolu-
tions demanding reform were unanimously
passed, and il is said that the meeting
went so far as to burn Bennett in effigy
| The superintendent of the road heard o.
the affair the next morning and telegraped
that if the resolutions were suppressed he
would see that the grievances complained
! of were remedied.

MADRID, November l0-The visit of

here as conclusive proof OF the growing
importance of Spain in the eyes of the
powers OF Europe. The prompt courtesy
of Germany is contrasted with the re
luctant reparation offered by France for
the insults to Alfonso.

The Immortal Dramatis,.

LONDON Daily Nelcs: when every scrap
OF personal detail relative to the personal
career of our great dramatist is SO eagerly
sought after. and as eagerly recorded, the
unexpected discovery of an undoubted con-
temporary and entirely unpublished por
trait of William Shakespeare is an event
of great public interest and value. Having
carefully examined an original miniature
of the reign of Queen Elizabeth, beauti-
fully painted on copper, am in position
to state that we have now new likeness
of the immortal dramatist at period OF
his life when his earlier plays were pro-
duced and before his popularity at the
English court rendered him of European
interest. 1t is full face, age about thirty
five years, being the well-known, deep
eyed pensive expression of countenance,
massive high forehead and falling collar so
familiar to us, but with the additional at
traction of exact portraiture from the life
itself by evidently first-rate artist, when
Shakespeare was in his prime as regards
physical appearance and intellectual

An Indian Wedding.

Denver recently. HE heap big In

no preacher; Injun want TO mally in In
jun like Ute fathers. Mally quick;
right away. Come"
And everybody went.
Crowded in the tepee were about
twenty-five persons. The blushlng
bride, in a brilliant dress cut en- train,
stood by the side of the young warrior,
who had changed his attire from Of
warfare to that Of mourning. Ranged
on each side OF the tent Wee the braves,
sixteen in number, in full paint and
feather, each with a plug hat. Chief
Charlie directed the ceremonies. In n
few words he announced in Ute that the
father and mother of the bride had
selected Chavo for a husband and that
| Chavo wanted Minnie to darn his socks,
| sew on his buttons and such other duties
incumbent upon the squaw Of SO mighty
a warrior. Turning to Ve bride and
groom he asked the usual questions.
They replied in Ute, whereupon the
chief stepped aside. Thehigh contract
ing parties then seated themselves in
| the straw in the middle of the tent,
while around them squatted the braves.
Mrs. Sow-no-winch, mother of the inter-
esting pappoose, placed around the brides
neck an amulet tied with deer sinew,
and then the ceremony was complete.
At another sign from the chief the
braves began to chant, rising in the
vocal key Onder and louder, until the
dirge grew wild and weird, breaking
forth in a harmony Of sounds that detied
MI musical scoring. From grave to gay
the group had passed with but little in,
term. The assemblage by this time was
metamorphosed SO that the scene was
wild and beyond description. All al
once the commotion ceased so sudden as
TO startle the guests. Exhausted, tho
braves sank to the ground, and the war
rior and his newly made wife passed on
from the group, he disappearing frs
through the lodge entrance and she fol
lowing.
After the marriage the whole bane
took the next train to the city, wher

hard battle I I'M bOu well and ready to

l feel impelled. from a sense of duty, to
make my case, with the hope that 1t
will be made known to every suffering man
and woman with diseased kidneys, that there
is q medicine called Hunts Remedy capable,
as l believe, Of curing any case of the most
extreme form, and when no other relief can
be obtained. I will give you some of tbs
details of my case, observing at the AM
time that language could hardly describe my
sufferings.
About two months ago I caught a heavy
cold which settled in my kidneys, and the
pains in the small of my back were some
thing fearful. / was unable to work., and
suffered the most when walking or standing
for any length of time; had two doctors, but
received no benefit from either. l had a
natural antipathy against patent medicines,
but l tell you that is all gone. I saw Hunt
Remedy advertised, sent and got a bottle,
and with the first dose l began to get we'll. /
continued the use of it, and Am now around
as you see me, and am perfectly we'll, and
am about to go to work. / consider it the
greatest medicine for kidney complaints ever
yet discovered. If my statement will be of
service you are at liberty to use my name.
