We built house not long ago with
some forty or more windows in it, but
we placed no blinds within or without
the windows. We beliere that sun
shine in the home is at once a help to
the body. and a constant inspiration
to the soul. Let US have light, and let
us have it abundantly.
A friend complained TO US the other
day OF wakefulness and WEAKNESS
We had occasion TO look into the
apartment where SO many weary,
wakeful hours were passed We
found the room dark as sepulchre.
Windows and blinds we're closely
closed The air was NAL odorous aud
musty. We urged the thorough ven
tilatiou and illumination of that
chamber The benefits Of the change
were immediately perceived Let US
have sunshine in our homes, even
though the roses on the carpet fade.
1t IS easier to replace them than to
paint again the lily and the rose upon
the face. Home Science.

Blaine on Diplomacy.

The conduct of our Diplomatic rela-
t;ons with England during the brief in
cumbency of Secretary Blaine forms
one of the most creditable chapters in
the recent history of the department Of
state. No one can examine the record
and fail to perceive how thoroughly Mr..
Blaine had mastered his subject I'M
fortunately there has been growing in
the public mind a sentiment that the
United States has no business with di-
plomacy, and thar she has no rights
which England. or any other nation, is
bound to respect. StroBelolds of An
glOmania are found IN Boston and New
York, where a numerous class of idle
Youngsters idiotically aping English
mCnners, accent aud dress, play whist
for shilling points and affect to despise
their native country MeHtion of this
class might properly he regarded as tri-
fling with q serious subject were it not
for the fact that it is the extreme illus
tration Of a much larger and more re-
spectacle element which appears 10 hold

England than that eff acknowledged in

would naturally be made the target Of
superciious criticism by AHglomauiac
iterati and their numerous following.
Let us see IN what ways Secretary
Blaine has offended. In the FIRST place
lie stoutly defended the rights of nat
ulaizcd American citizens subjected to
arbitrary arrest under the so.called
British coercion act Under this act
American citizens might be arrested
without specific charges preferred
against hem, aud might be indefinitely
restrained in prison upon mere "sus-
Eicion' Secretary Blaiue's position

IN q letter of June 2, 1891, to our minis

The following decision of the | United States supreme court which we clip from the Gazette will be of interest to the peopletof this State. Read it.
 Washington, Dec. 22.-A decis- ion was rendered by the supreme court of the United States to day, in the railroad tax case of the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad company, as reorganized, against the board of railroad commission CTS of the State of Arkansas. This was suit brought by the railroad company to enjo the board of rail road commissioners from appraslng for tthe purposes of taxation, any part of said railroad company's property, on the ground that 1t
 was exempted from taxation con tract with the State, contained In it's chartdt of incorporation. This court holds that exemption from taxation contained in the incorpor- ating act of 1853 was intended to apply only to the Memphis and Little Rock Railroad company as an original corpotation, organized under it; that it did not pass by
 mortgage of it's charter and words
 to the mortgages or purchasers at the iudiciel sale; that the franclfs-
 es contained in that conveyances were limited to those which had
 been granted as appropriate the
 construction, maintenance and op- eratien of the railroad as a public
 highway, and right to profit there from, and that appellants not hay ing become corporate body until
 after their restrictions in the con stitution in 1874 took effect. was thereby rendered incai able in law of having or enjoying the privilege of holding it's property exempt from taxation. The decree of the supreme court of Arkansas is there fore affirmed.

IT is essential that a man wor- thy of confidence shall himself have faith, There must he prom. nent and conspicuous feature in his character known or all, which publishes him to all as a man who believes firmly and honesty in something; who believes in him self; or in somebody or other and never doubts but that somewhere or other, iu some theory or some philosophy or some religion, there is boundless truth. His discoveries may have been only errors, he may be fanatic and not a philo sopher, he may believe in nothing save himself and his ancestors, but an honest. trustworthy man there never has been. and never will be who has no faith in nothing.

The Blair Bill.

Of the "Blair Education bill," of which the candidates for the Legis- lature in the recent county canvass discussed so thoroughly, tho Ar kansas Democrat says:
 "What is known as the Blair cd ucational bill, distributes S15 ,O0O,- GOO from the national treasury to the States, in proportion to theT illiteracy, in suppor: of their public schools Upon this basis ot dlvls- son 'the States of the South will get over half probably, three-filths- of the money. The bill passed the Senate at the last session by a de. cisive majority-33 ayes to II nays, many ofour ablest Southern states men, including Garland, Brown, George and others voting for it. The following is the vote in the Senate on its passage;

 It will be seen from the vote that its support came largely from the Southern side, so that there can bt little question as to the propriety of accepting such aid, if the opin lons of our representative men are to be ,conside conclusive.
