STRICT OBsERVANCE.-In some parts of
Arkansas the Sunday law is rigidly enforced.
Mr. J. P. Jacklin was arrested on charge
of shooting Mr.. Wiber Stages. Both par
ties being men of high standing, the affair
created great interest. In making his state
ment Jacklin said:
''The court cannot regret more than L do
this melancholy affair. L have ever been
averse to shedding blood, and am so gentle
in disposition that, when boy, have been
known to run away to keep from helping
my father kill hogs. Iwould not have shot
Stages had 1 not thought my life was in
danger"
The witnesses all agreed that it was case
of self-defense, and the justice was about to
discharge the defendant, when some one re-
marked: II was on my way to church
when the shooting"
' "On your way to church," exclaimed the
justice.
"Yes, SIR"
'Did the affair occur on Sunday?'
ayes, your honor"
s'Mr. Jacklin, you have violated the law.
I discharge you for killing the man, but will
bind you over for the shooting on Sunday.
It is to be hoped that after this you will be
more careful. l.''-ArkaQsaU Traveller.

Republicans. They did it to rule the mig

Republicans. They did it to rule the mig
gers. Let the niggers in the Seventh Dis
trict give the nigger a chance. Let them
look out for themselves. Would they do it?
GYes, yes The white Republicans were
corrupting the colored race. They couldn't
hold meeting without these Adventures
melting them to wrong. They wouldn't do
wrong themselves. 1t was shame that we
niggers should do anything and everything
white office holders. The nigger could get
on better with the Democrats or by them
selves than through these white spokesman.
If the Democrats hated any one it was these
fellows, not the niggers. That's SOL There
was an indignation meeting in Charleston
the other day to consider the killing of a ne
gro, but no white Republicans were there
They were all sick. IGreat laughter. He
was glad the chairman (Whipper) wasn't
white. That nigger was put there by the
whites for a purpose. But the niggers also
had their purpose, too, in putting him there.
They meant something. He wouldn't be,
lieve that South Carolnians who owned
slaves or fought for the Confederacy would
be Republicans to save their lives. Ap-
plause Neither would any negro be
Democrat. The white Democrats were care
full to watch niger Democratsto keep them
from stealing. Applause and laughter
He did't believe in white Republicans. Mr..
Greenbacker or anybody else might come
along with the negroes against the Democ-
racy, but they couldn't march in front.
They must follow behind. [Applause.] On
terruption was made.) The speaker de-
clared that he would yield to no courthouse
or postoffice clerk. Applause. He knew
what was the matter with these Officehold-
ers. Stick hog and he'd grunt. He would
rather be bobtailed dog in fly time than
one of these poor buckra. AS Spears con.
tinued to speak he gained complete control
over the emotions of his colored audience.
They applauded him rapturously whenever
he made thrust at the white leaders. He
INDUCED in good deal Of clever badinage
with the officeholders, who tried to inter-
rupt him. Repeated attempts were made
to stop him, but President Whipper ruled
that he was speaking by invitation, and
could continue as long as he liked until the
credentials committee reported. Toward
the last the Convention was in an uproar OF
laughter and applause.
Chairman Paris Simpkins, of the creden-
tials committee, ut length reported that the
committee would not be ready for two hours,
and suggested an adjournment of the Con-
vention for that time. Carried at $50 z. M.
The night session was called to order at
$50 P. NJ. and as the statement was made
that the committee on credentials would be
unable to report that night, the Convention
adjourned until o'clock Wednesday morn

STOPPED OFF AT NIAGARA FALLS.

STOPPED OFF AT NIAGARA FALLS.
A man, seemingly about 60 years of age,
was telling the people in the waiting rooms
at the Third street depot yesterday that
he had been East to old Massachusetts, to
see his sister, and that on his way back he
stopped off at Niagara Falls.
"That's place l never saw, remarked a
woman with poke-bonnet on.
"You didn't! Well, you've missed the
awfullest sight on earth! was just stun
ned"
"What is it like ?" she asked.
"Well, there's river, and the falls, and
lots of hotels, and several 1njuns, and the
bride veil, and land only knows what else:
If my old woman had a-been along she'd
have wilted right down"
"There's water there, suppose
ooh, heaps of it. 1t pourS and thunders
and roars and foams and humps around in
the terriblest manner. You have bit on q
shirt-button in a piece of pie, haven't you?"
"No, sir"
"Well, the feeling was about the same
kinder shivery. Why, the biggest man
that ever lived amt half as big as Niagara
Falls! Let him stand thar and see that
'ere water tumbling over them 'ere rocks
and he can't help but feel what miserable
hoss fly he is. You've fallen out O. bed,
haven't you?"
"No, SIR"
"Well, it's about the same thing, you
wake up and find yourself on the floor, and
you feel as if you had been stealin' sheep
or robbin' blind men,"
"What portion of the Falls did you most
admire?" she asked.
"The water, num-" he promptly replied.
"Ifyou'd put 1000 kegs of beer on the roof
of this building and set them all running
they couldn't begin with Niagara. It's the
terriblest, appallingest thing ever patent
ed."
"Cost you much 20 inquired gentleman:
"'BOut siXty-tive cents. It's pOoty tight
times, and siXty-fve cents don't grow on
every bush, but amt sorry. It's sunthin'
to talk about for twenty years to come.
There's a chap in our town who used to
travel with circus, but he'll have to take
back seat when I git home. Flip-foppin'
around in circus don't begin with Niagara
Falls"
$50, on the whole, you were pleased, eh?'
"Pleased Why, was tickled half to
death tell you if had one on my farm
I wouldn't sell it for no $50 in cash IVe
looked into field whar' $50 fat hogs was
waitin' to be sold for solid money, but was
no sch fight as the Falls. Pve seen barns
afire, and eight hosses runnin' away, and
Wabash River on tear, but for downright
appalling grandeur of the terriblest kind
GIN me one look at the Falls. You all Orter

you've gazed on the rumpus. ."-Detroh Free
