seventeen Days Trial.

On Saturday of last week Prof. Samuel W. Johnson of the scientific department of Yale college issued his ten days report or statement, following his ten days custody and supervision of the several articles of treated with the Humiston food preservative, now known as ''Rex Magnus."
 Full particulars of the experimental tests conducted by Prof. Johnson have heretofore been given in these columns. The subject is one of expressing interest, and to all classes of citizens. In his report of the condition of these articles of food, after having been kept in his private laboratory subjected as they were to g temperature ranging from 5o0 to 12O0, Prof. Johnson concludes his report as follows: "My observations have thus far been confined to the preserving qualities of Prof. Humistons preparations and as respects those qualities exclusively and without reference to their effects on the palatableness or whoIesomeness of the arti- cIes treated (which effects have had as yet no means of judging must say that up to this point the trials are satisfactory"
 From such 8 source this statement con- mands respect and is entitled to careful con sideration.
 The invitations are sal0 to pc alrea0y ont requesting the presence of some twenty per- sons (most of them prominent and well known gentlemen, it is understoodl. who will attend a collation. at the New Haven House on Friday evening next at 8 o'clock.
 Samples of these several articles of food Rept by this antiseptic. ''Rex Magnus," whilst in Prof. Johnson's house) will be served to the guests who will assemble at this banquet.
 Duplicates, but of freshly killed articles, of each dish served will also be laid before the guests, who will pass their opinions as to the merits of the two styles of food.
 Prof. Johnson still retains portions of these meats, etc, and will probably give the public an account of their condition after thirty days, dating from the time he first as. stunned charge of them.

FIRMNEss OF SENATOR WILSON.

Senator Henry Wilson was q self
controlled as well as self-made man.
He left his New Hampshire home
early in life, and changed his name
in order to get out from under the
baleful shadow Of intemperance. He
began on the lowest round of the So
cial ladder, and climbed up, rung by
rung, until he became political
power in the nation.
The first step he took in the ascent
placed him on the pledge never to
drink intoxicating liquors. The sec.
ond step he took made him an indus
trious laborer, the third q dilligent
reader.
He was sent to Washington TO
carry a petition against the admis-
sion Of Texas into the Union. John
Quincy Adams asked him to dinner
party, where he met with some Of
the great men of the nation. He was
asked to drink wine. The tempta.
ton to lay aside his temperance
principle for moment, in order not
to seem singular, was strong one.
But he resisted it and declined the
glass of wine. Mr.. Adams commend
ed him for his adherence to his con-
victions.
After Mr.. Wilson was elected TO
the United States Senate, he gave
his friends a dinner at noted Bos-
ton hotel. The table was set with
not wine-glass upon it.
"Wherc are the wine-glasscs"
asked several, loud enough to remind
their host tina. some of his guests did
not like sitting down to a wineless
dinner.
"Gentlcmen," said Mr.. Wilson,
rising and speaking with a great deal
of feeling, ayou know my friendship
for you and my obligations to you.
Great as they are, they are not great
enough to make me forget 'the rock
whence was hewn and the pit from
whence l was dug! Some Of you
know how the curse of intempcrancc
overshadowed my youth. That I
might escape ! fed from my early
surroundings and changed my name.
For what am, am indebted under
God, to my temperance vow and my
adherence to it.
"Call for what you want to eat,
and if this hotel can provide it, it
shall be forthcoming. But wines
and liquors cannot come to this table
with my consent, because will not
spread in the paths of another the
snare from which ] escaped"
Three rousing cheers showed the
brave Senator, that men admired the
man who has the courage Of his con.
victions.

ARKANSAS is moving right alon.

ARKANSAS is moving right along,
and keeping abreast of the times.
What with her railroad enterprises,
her thriving, busy, bustling cities
and towns, her cotton factories, her
oil mills, her vast timber, agricultu-
raj and mineral resources, her health
renewing springs, AN era of progress
and prosperity points uncrringly to
her future greatness. Her rapid
strides in the onward march of de-
velopment is the wonder and admir-
alton of the older states. The fact
of the matter is, Arkansas is on a
regular boom with big b. She has
more sound gubernatorial timber
than any state IN the union. All
sing their praise. All nature, earth,
air, moon and stars, smile compla.
Gently on Arkansas; even the sun,
the great electric light Of day, shines
with brighter cffulgence, and on re-
firing for the night, sheds halo Of
tinted glory never equaled by the
most enrapturing and awe-spiring
Italian sunsets which poets rave
about. Astronomers and scientists
may theorizc, surmise or speculate
as much as they may, as to the cause
of the rich, carmine colorings attend.
ing our sunsets, but the fact remains
that they are specially gotten up for
the Arkansas Boom, and don't you
forget it.

Christmas.

Long before our next issue will
have been brought to light and scat
tered broadcast to an admiring pat
ronage, Christmas, that happy, joy
Gus day, SO eagerly and fondly an
ticipated by the little ones, and the
big ones too, for that matter, will
have come and gone. The frecrack-
ers will have been popped; the little
stockings with their treasure loads
of bon. .bons, candies and fruits will
have been emptied and their con-
tents numbered with the things that
were.
Christmas times have q tendency
to make most of US more thoughtful
of the wants and wishes of Others, If
only for few short hours, and gives
US All opportunity of realizing, as
the mere utterancs, or, reading the
sentiment can never do, the truth Of
the saying that lit Is more blessed
to give than to receive" Then If
such is the case at every returning
anniversary Of the birth of Him who
first uttered this sentiment, why is it
that the practice OF this divine in
junction cannot extend to every day
in the year? That it docs not only
serves to show. how ingrained are
the prevailing habits of selfshncss
which enwraps us all. People are
seldom impoverished by benevolence
We are none of us in any danger
of being persuaded to put self Sec
ond instead of first. Unless all our
highest religion and philosophy arc
wrong, unless the most exalted as
pirations of humanity are mere vain
and foolish dreams, it is to some such
consummation that the human race
is slowly, painfully and uncertainty
struggling. 1t is in fact at such
times as this that we catch glimpse,
dim and momentary, but suggestive
and encouraging, Of n possible future
when men will have grown out of
the deep selfshness they inherit from
lower organisms, and when the fierce
struggle, not so much for existence
as for the superhuities of existence,
will have been superseded by agen-
erous emulation in mutual aid and
support. We shall none of us live
to see that time, nor will our chill
dren's children; but for all that it is
worth something to such as look be-
yond the present to feel that there
are latent possibilities in human ma
ture which in due course may so lift
our SUCCESSORS up that they will be
enabled to make the Christmas spir-
it their rule of life.

RESTING ONE DAY In SEVEN.
Lord Macauly was no saint, cynic

/ Lord Macauly was no saint, cynic
or Puritan, but this be did say:
"Of course ] do not mean that
man will not produce more in week
by working seven days than by work
ing six days. But | very much doubt
whether, at the end Of the year, he
will generally have produced more
by working seven days week than
by working six days week, and l
firmly believe that, at the end Of
twenty years, he will have produced
less by working seven days week
than by working six days a week.
The natural difference between Cam.
pania and Spitzbergen is triaing
when compared with the difference
between a country inhabited by men
full of bodily and mental vigor, and
q country inhabited by men sunk in
bodily and mental decrepitude.-
Therefore it is we are not poorer but
richer because we have through many
ages rested from our labor one day
in seven. That day is not lost. While
industry is suspended, while the ex-
change is SILENT while no smoke as
cends from the factory, process is
going on quite as important to the
wealth of the Nation as any process
which is performed on more busy
DAYS. Man, the machine Of fmachines

all the contrivances of the Watts and
Arkwrights are worthless repair

turns to his labor on Monday with
clearer intellect, with livelier spirits,
and with renewed corporeal vigor."
