A JUST MAN.

Captain Hamsley was arraigRed before an Arkansaw court, having been arrested on charge of assault with intent 10 kill. The high standing of the gentleman, his great benevolence, and wi;hal his eour- teous bearing, caused profound sensa- ton in the community. The selection of a )ury was no small matter. for nearly every one seemed to have formed an opinion with regard to the case. Judge Granger, as the lifelong friend of the captain, asked to De disqualified, and an old lawyer, who had no friends. and who would extend justice though the heavens might fall, was elected as ] special lud se. The testimony vas direct. The frs, man swore that party of acquaintances, including Captain Hamsley. sa, around a table relating "reminiscences. Sud denly, when Mir.

the air, he struck tiot, while a swarm of bees hoyered around his devoted cranium. He ran to the street crossing, ihrashing himself with his hat, reaching there just as car came along. Some of the bees dipped the mule and with a lunge. the animal jerked he car from the track and ran against fence The only passengers were a fai man who sat reading ! pamphle; on the Banting system, and an old maid who carried . little porte satchel. 4 prominen, bee went In.o the car and drilled a cavity into the fat mans loxl and | companion buzted in aaki szlu;ed the maiden lady on the neck. BantIngs book few out of the window and the beads on he porte-monnaie receptacle rattled as the old maid hf,ed her skirts and rushed nom lhe car. The pain that Q lean man can endure without striking demonstration will bring intensified ifs te fat man. and on this occasion Mir. B4nting wad- dled from the car and fell over \ tree box blown down by T recent storm No sooner had he left the car th an dozen bees followed him. They eraaied around hIs collar. IeaY.ng tracas If Ire and delighted themselves by a dance on hls bald head. He bawled l.se ] sieeI, broke down q garden fence, and when las: seen, he was traveiing towards the equator. The old maid had consider able trouble with her skirts. and her h-keyed shrieks must have ren, the neishborhood like the wailings of tie equ,noctial wind.
 When Mir. Beckleton cached home and learned that his bees had swarmed, he went over 10 assist the hired gentle man.
 |" Hold on there" he cried. Don, fight 'em. Let 'em buzz around. They won't hurt you. See.' AS the bees be- gan to buzz around his ears. "Wait few moments and they'll be quie,.' A bee lit on his moustache. All you've got to do is-Gee whiz whoop" He ran against the fence and knocked of his plug hat, and in trying to light off bee that showed disposition io settle on his eye, he trod upon the hat and mashed its crown through the brim into the ground. Everybody fan away and left him and, as he wandered around, he strucN the peach Iee and iarred the ouz- zins cone to the ground. Then he knew that man was made to moan that If. IS tnll of sudden pair .ni cries. That bravery which would prompt a man ,o rush forward and rescue ieliow-mottal from swarm of angry bees has no. vet been discovered. Man has many virtues bu, this self-sacrlhce IS not one of them.
 When M.. Beekleton reached home, after the bees grew weary ef his society. he looked like q bloa,ed bondholdcr. and that evening, as he lay on the floor of his front gallery, man who saw him said |" Blamed If don't believe old Thinge,n- bobem will swell up and bust" Oh. no bees will not sting you unless you modest them.

CAPITAL punishment has become tno cheap in Arkansas. The newspapers have talked about murder untii every Iaryrnan thinks death Is the erly step which the law can take. The governors ot this state, leaving unwaranted lem ien0y. have began to turn their backs on investigation. If a jury say ,hai a man should be hung, and 1.-the supreme oour, sustain the decision of the ierv-no matter wha, additional proof may be brought governor says that he has no say-so in the affair, that the man mus, hang. This Is wrong. Several innocent men have been hanged in Arkansaw within the past four years, and i, is time the chief executive were taking steps to- wards justice. Slaughter is not justice. The mere fact tha. man may be hanged does not establish the laws supremacy. The people have begun to cry for blood, and the governors, regardless of justice, are yielding to the popular clamor. Under the statutes there is such a thing as murder in the second degree. bu, the uries and governors seem to have lost
 fight of this fact.

The supposition now is that Erb, the
crooked clerk, took passage in baggage
car yesterday. 1t was found this morn
ing that he had also stuck Mr.. Bert
Young, OF the Southern hotel, for So
for borrowed money. Mr.. Sim Hart
says he is greatly surprised at Erb's
conduct, as he had great confidence in
him, and did great deal to help him on,
even advancing him money when he first
came 10 prevent his landlord attaching
his trunk. Mr.. Hart thinks his down
fall is due TO gambling. Some
steps are contemplated by his victims to
recover their money, and he may vet be
brought back to answer for his short
comings.
