Arkansns ON the Pence.

The Hon. Poindexter Dunn, M. G. from
Arkansas, is in the city. He was met to-
day by representative of The CRITIC, and
after the usual civilities of the day the re-
porter asked him who, in his opinion, the
Arkansians would support for Speaker.
Mr.. Dunn said: "Our delegation, with
the exception of one man, who was not
present at the time, have ageed not to COM
nit ourselves. We want strong, level
headed man. We want a man with view
to the Presidency. If we put new man
in the Speakers chair, man who is not
posted and fully up to any emergency,
and make any mistakes, the Republicans
will take advantage of it and give us trou-
BILE. The wrong man now would lose US
the Presidency and probably the next
House. We want to let the tariff alone,
only in so far as it may be necessary to
remedy some gross errors in the present
law. We have nothing to gain and all to
lose by undertaking to tinker with the
tariff question with the Senate Republican
and Republican President. By letting
that question alone we will not lose sin
gle free trade vote and may lose a million
other votes, that, while they may not be
exactly high tariff, are not free trade. So,
it is, that we have concluded to wait until
Congress meets before we commit our
selves"

Advice 10 Consumufives.

On the appearance OF the fret symptoms-as
general debility loss OF appetite, palor, chilly
sensations, followed by night sweats and
cough-prompt measures for relief should be
taken. Consumption is scrofulous disease OF
the lungs; - therefore use the great anti
scrofula, or blood-purifer and strength re-
covery.' Superior to cod liver oil as a nutrl.
tive, and unsurpassed as pectoral. For weak

Serious Accident to MIR. b. S. Adams.

Ever thinking Of tho morrow, blrdencd dnow
with needs on I creo 8,
Onco or twice, mayhap, In sorrow, we may
hesr the song that pleads
Once or twice, n dreaming poet gees the
bcauty as 1t flies:
But his ~Y.sion-wbo thall know itf Who
shall read 1t from b S eyesi
VoicelesIhe; his recromaocy tais to cage lie
wondrous bird;
Luro and snare arc vain when fancy lie3 like
cello from a word.
Only sometime be may sing II, using spcech
ss't wero a bel.-
Not to read the song, but ring it, liko tho soa-
tone from u sEel.
Sometimes. too, IL comes and fingers ound
the strings all still aud nuts,
TIL some lovers wandering fingers draw 1t
living from the lutte.
stlll, cur lost is but a vision which a lightning
fash illumes.
Just q gleam OF life elysian Hung acrUas the
v~oiculess gicona
Why should CLEANS perplcx and move usi
All, the soul must Inward grow
To the beauty far above US, aud tho songs no
sous, may know.
