A FEW weeks since the newspa-
pers all over the land announced in
flaming headlines that magnificent
monument was in course of erection
in New York harbor, and acknowl-
edged the receipt of elegant litho-
graphic representations of the same,
entitled "Liberty Enlightening
the World" This was received by
the public as an assurance that extra
measures were being taken for the
dissemination of knowledge among
all classes; that educational facilities
would be increased; the government
would aid in educating the illiterate,
and that an era of progress in art,
science and literature was about to
burst forth in full bloom, and all to
be had for a nominal sum; in fact.
free gratis for nothing. Right upon
the heels of this announcement, how
ever, a bill is introduced in Congress
by the adoption of which the large
city dailies propose to have exclus-
i've monopoly of all the news for s
hours after publication, thus compel
ing the residents of the rural towns
and districts to purchase the city
dailies, if they should want the latest
news. As matter of course, if this
scheme should be smuggled through
and become law, Henry Watterson,
the author of this bucket shop abom-
ination, will hear it thunder, and
don't you forget it!

lT is with pleasure we announce
in this issue, the candidacy of Hon.
II. NJ. McVeigh for the Office of At
torIey General. In order to show
our home readers how McVeigh is
regarded throughout the state we
make room for few of the many
fattering notices his announcement
is eliciting from the press through
out the state:
Fayetteville Democrat:
We have been shown letter from
Hon. II. NJ. McVeigh, of Mississippi
County, in which he declares his in
tention of running for attorney gen.
eral. Mr. McVeigh was urged to be-
come a candidate for governor two
years ago, but his modesty could not
be overcome and now that he has con-
sented to allow his name to be used
in connection with a state office, and
one for which he is eminently quail
fed, he will have strong following.
He is regarded as an able lawyer,
and is known as the eagle orator of
eastern Arkansas The man that
beats Mcveigh will get there.
The Little Rock Democrat says:
Hon. II. NJ. McVeigh, of Missis-
sippi county, well known through
OUT the State both as lawyer and
legislator, is announced as a candi-
date for Attorney General. His re-
putation as a lawyer is not confined
to his own section of the State, and
should he be chosen to fill the Office
to which he aspires he will doubtless
fill it to the entire satisfaction OF
the people. The Batesville Guard
pays him this high compliment;
Hon. II. NJ. Mcveigh, of Missis-
sippi county, is a candidate for At
torney General of the State. Mr..
McVeigh was member of the House
of Representatives of 1881. Is a
worthy and honorable gentleman
and was one of the prominent leaders
of that body, an honor to the State
foremost in all matters and meas
ures that would rebound to the hon
or of Arkansas, ever ready to do full
justice TO the State, while he never
forgot the rights Of her citizens. The
editor of the Guard knowns whereof
he speaks when he truthfnlly says
that the General Assembly of 1881

For the benefit of Fruit tree rails
ers, who suffer from the borers, we
copy the following from Coleman's
Rural World:
al will give receipt for keeping
the borers out of your orchard. The
ingredients are mostly elbow grease,
and the hoe-landle; that is, | con-
tend that If you keep the bark per-
fectly smooth and clean around the
roots, your trees will never have
borers in them. | do not want my
trees tied up in a rag all summer, as
some writers advise, to keep the
borers out. In the spring as soon as
the ground will work nicely, loosen
the earth around your trees space
three or four feet. Keep that per-
fectly clean all summer. DO not
neglect them in July and August.
This you can do with sharp hoe.
Do not forget this part Of the receipt.
Commence in the spring to wash your
trees with soap suds, make it strong
aud thick, take cloth and rub the
tree FIVE or ten minutes, until the
bark looks smooth. Do this once a
month. Recollect if you would have
"a fine orchard YOU must not neglect
these things. In next will say some
thing about further care and trim
ming, etc. UNCLE CAL.

drink, but when the water was offered him
shrank from it as if frightened, and again
fell in a convulsion. When he was given a
solution of bromide of potassium in a few
drops of water he was similarly affected.
He prowled about his bed on all fours,
barked in short, peculiar manner, and
snapped at his nurse like a vicious cur. He
continually frothed at the mouth and was sub
ject to incessant involuntry contractions of the
muscles He imagined that the wind was
blowing on him all the time, and 40 breath OF
air produced the same result as the sight of
water-a spasIn. In the intervals between
spasms he was conscious and rational. When
one of the attendants told his nurse to be
careful, that he might SNAP her, he said:

but when he put it to his mouth he was taken
with a spasrn. He complained that he could
take nothing into his mouth, though the
facial muscles were in a normal state. His
pulse was rapid and weak, his temperature
