tcOHhEsfoSoKNSH OF TIE APPEAL.I
LITTLE Rock, May 81 might very
properly speak of our three candidates for
Governor, since the Hon. J. B. Judkins
has Withdrawn, but, mentioning our resi-
dent aspirants for the honor, in my last
communication, the omission of the name
of Jacob Frolich was a tremendous blum
der, excusable only on the ground of its
familiarity. He is great fayorite, and
has been before the people many years.
serving them faithfully as Secretary OF
State and in other capacities; and besides
he was for number OF years newspaper
mana teacher as well as servant of the
people-and you know how wide is the
lield there for the service in both lines.
spoke of Mr.: Judkinsas "by no means
feeble" yet it now transpires that feeble
health, added to pressure OF personal
duties, led to his withdrawal.
Last Monday our long siege Of rainy
weather appeared to give up the contest,
with, however, a departing blast. In fact
we had first class elemental warfare: rain
and wind. and hailstones big as bullets
Then there was q rainbow and its shadow
double harbinger OF clearing skies. We
should take heart OF hope, for last night
there was tiny sprinkle and repetition
of the glorious phenomenon.
The State Press Association, in conven-
ton at Fayetteville, called number of our
best people out OF town. We are all graf
flied at the resolution offered to expel
Nose Harris and Henry Simpkins from
the association, as neither "black sheep"
nor "whited sepulchers" are amiable~zoo-
ciates, nor fit for the company of men
who largely mould the minds of millions.
Thirty.ive conv;cts and several guards
were last Monday buried under falling
building. They had been taken out from
the penitentiary in the morning to the
old fair grounds to clear up tract of land,
and went into this building for shelter
from the storm. One guard was killed,
one had his back seriously injured, and
several prisoners were more or less hurt
No one knows why the building fell.
II is good idea OF the Iron Mountain
railroad, putting on fruit train between
Little Rock and st. Louis. The inst train
left our city yesterday. BY the way,
Strawberries and cream are well under
way, and the SWANS and sxeethearts take
turns in escoring each other to the joy
Gus church festival. Leap year comes bat
once in four, and turn about is fair play.
Church reminds me of the efforts of our
young men to establish a Young Mems
Christian Association in Little Rock. OF
their laboB and discouragements, more
anon.
zee Prof. Emile Levy is working up
the interests of tie Mozart Society OF
Memphis In our city. No doubt there
will be an exodus from here to see and
hear the famous artiets You will entertain
next merth.
Our Prof Ellinge--tac exquisite plan
ist, who plays as easily as the morning
Eephyrs sigh-has been too i'll to start on
his trip 60 Germany. He is chorister in
Christ church, and so honored that he is
given a long summer vacation and full pay
during his absence. 1t is understood that
while in Germany the professor will be a
special correspondent of The Keynote, of
New York, and OF a Chicago dramatic
journal. Unassuming merit sometimes
works out its own salvation.
We have much talent in various direc-
tions in our midst, and great diversity Of
opinion in regard to all of il. There is
Bessie Pierce, whose voice is called divine
