A VERY YOUNG MAN.

The devout friends oi proh biiion. in some parts oi the state, take around two petitions, one for and the other against license. When the time comes, they paste Ill the names un- der one head. This IS very enterprising, but il Is hardly honeSt.-ARkANsAW IRAVEIFR The editor of THE TRAVELLER must have dis regarded every impulse of honor and veracity when he wrote the item which We copy above We are sorry, indeed, 10 see a man capable oi writing tender, touching and liberal arti- cles. with his mind warped by fanatical desire to throttle prohibition as to brng so serious charge agains, the friends of prohi- biuon. Surely he did not mean u.-CAsris s- siM tftSl Eattytyse.
 In argument, all that seems necessary for the editor of the EHtcrpyiSe IS to simply deny a statement, and sprinkle sorrowful sulphur over the motives of the writer. We have no desire 10 enter into discussion of local questions. for the majority of our readers know but very little, and care very much less, about Arkansaw's private affairs, The statement which the editor of the Enteyp,sSe dis parages, can be proved. His counter statemen, nigh, be different, IL is very easy matter for man 10 say that you have disregarded every impulse of honor and as rule those who are mos, iiippant in making such accusations, have but very limited supply of that high social virtue. We would not rashly say that the editor of the Enkeybyise had disregarded his impulses of honor. We deny to no man the right of conviction. The editor of the Enkeypyise may be phenomenon of truth. and sensational discovery in honesty of purpose, but he is evidently very young m an of impulse instead ot discretion. In justice to the ladies of Little Rock, we will state that the decp,ion above mentioned. has not been prao,iced in the state capital.

RAN AWAY WITH COON.

The Rev. l. G. Pollard, presiding elder of the Northern Methodist church of Arkansaw, has just completed national reputation by marrying negroes. We have refrained from saying much about this episode in the life of the Rev. Mir. Pollard, for we thought i, better to allow the secular press to have Its say before the religious papers should devote valu- able space to such a discussion. THE ARKANsAw TRAvELkR, let us here re- mark, is not generally accepted as a church organ. although it has music in its.head, and some ill-conditioned people will be so reckless as to say that this is not even religious paper, but be that as it may, ~ pollard's run away with coon, with cool, cool, oo-i oon."

THE religious press, whatever that may mean. is rejoicing over the conversion of a well-known inhdel lecturer. We GO not see why such sensation should be created Granting to the man honesty of purpose, he delivered intdel lectures on accoun, of conviction, and afterwards. finding that he was wrong, professed Christ be- cause he knew that he was right. All men must be convinced before they can believe, and no one should say that the devil prompted this mans lectures on the inconsistency of the Son of mans di- vinity. No one knows when a change may come. \ man may spend years in his library. gathering proof that Jesus was only man, and in the swinkling of an eye he may receive proof that he has been wrong: that the lowly man bore a divine mission. This proof of divinity can not be SC, down in facts and figures, but it comes with a warmth which no ad- verse scientific treatise can cool.

1T seems to be quite difficult matter .or the New York critics to settle the question of whether or not Henry Irving IS great actor. The fact that Irving is q foreigner awakens the controversy. Because he is foreigner people who see TO good in home production, say that te IS great, and again, for the reason that he is foreigner causes many peo- pie who refute the often repeated aecus- a.ion of toadyism to say that he $ not a great delineator Of tragic character.

arrested for contempt of church. He came to Askansaw several years ago and devoted himself to the uplifting of the down-trodden race. He summed the society of white people. He wanted the respect of the oolored brother and the love of the colorei sister. He would not eat chicken with the white man, but ate 'possom with the ''coon.- When he met his colored divinity he began to fig- ure around for divorce from his white wife. He urged ineompatibility of tenn per, when indeed 1t was incompatibility of color. He was shorthand writer and he taught his divinity this accomp- lishment. Then they eorresponded, and the injured wife, who sometimes saw the letters, did no, know tha, the bug eyes and grasshopper legs told of illegitimate love and intrigue. Finally the divorce was obtained, and then, the reverend gentleman and the colored girl were mar ned.
 The people of the injured church re- cognize white mans righ, to associate with negroes. both in religion and poli- tics, but they do not grant him the righ, of miseegenation.

WAR OF RACES.

The southern journalist is no, the only editor who thirsts for blood. The quie, and professedly religious editor of the Western Reserve, the flower garden oi libel suits and the oyster bed of journal istie calumny, sometimes arises in the pre- tended might of indignation, and de- mands the impoverished blood of his siekiy foes. Colonel Edwin Cowles. of the Cleveland kfa3ey, the man who made war on the pope because Catholic watchman in Paris refused to allsw him the pleasure of measuring the River Seine with ,ape-line, is now loudly d emand- ing the red juice of a Dayton editor. The Cleveland .Snn thus ins,rae,s the world concerning the hourly expected encounter. As both men are likely to run. it may properly be termed a war of races:
 he local new spdper war of prices and of hoggs eab!egrams has suddenly become ob- searea by the tremendous controversy which threatens to become Sanguinary, now raging between Colonel Cowles. of the Ls,dcT. and

Mutual friends of the doughty principals, we understand, are endeavorng to effect reconciliation. but with liitle hope oi success. Colonel Gowles is terribly in earnest.

 When every scrap of personal detail relative to the personal career of our great dramatist is so eagerly SOU yh, after, and as eagerly recorded, the cn- expected discovery of an undoubted con- temporary and entirely unpublished portrait of William Shakespeare is an event of great public interest and vslce Having carefully examined an original miniature of the reign of Queen Elizabeth. beautifully painted on copper, am in position to state that we now have a new likeness Of the immortal dramatiss ar period of his life when his earlier plays were produced, and before his popularity at the English court rendered him of European interest. I, is full face. age about thirty-hve 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 attraction of exact pourai,- ure from the life itself by evidently a hrst-rate artist, when Shakespeare was in his prime, as regards physical appearance and intellectual vigor. The fortunate holder of this unique national treasure has kindly allowed it to remain open 10 view for short time, tb savants and others interested, at MT. Frank Buck lands, Nc. Finsburg place, E.

A POPULAR writer lamen,s the fac, ,hat American poets are declining. We oo not know what the poets are declin- lng, whetker they are declining to take oysters and claret with generous aoquaint- aaces, or declining like the setting sun ahich the old parsing sentence says re- minds us of declining years. If the poets gre going down, then we deplore the fact. for nations greatness depends to an . most unequalled extent on its versified sentiment. A country may have its nov e.lsts and historians, its drama,is,s and editorial writers, but without its poets it's l.erature is regarded as scant and poorly ailed out. The Canterbury Tales of a literature may give il healthful start, bat the philosophy of Hamlet, the mus .ass of an Elegy in Country Churchyard ond the smoothly worked passions of a Don Juan are required to polish up the handle on the big front door. l. grieves us 10 think that America's poets have done their best work and are going down in golden glory and it makes us all feel sad. The country is 100 young to thus lose it's poetic grip. If no one should ever arise to take the place of bryant or Longfellow, then must we put on the sackcloths and ashes of dark lament. Bret Hare might have taken a Part of the sacred mantle, but he ran away to England, and became a snob. Joaquin Miller might have taken a par, of the illustrious wardrobe, bu. he has thrown aside stirring versi6cation and taken up more remunerative prose Sydney Lanier might have done some thing, but he's dead. A. w. Kelly, ~ Parmenas Mix" could do great work but it seems he won't. Gene Field con- tents himself with light, humorous rhyme, good but not classic. Luther c. Riggs. of the Chicago 7siegram, does good work in the poetic way, but is capa- ble of deeper lines in fact there are many who can do, but who won't. Is it because the paragrapher has ridiculed the poetic sentiment into an un,imely grave?
