Arkansas ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1884-1886, 1884-11-01

We have been wondering why the ladies
of the city ceased the daily exercise which
it was their wont to take year ago at the
rooms Of the Athletic club. There they
displayed so much vigor and freshness of
strength in the dumb-bell use, the exercise
of muscle and the rapid movements as d.
rected by skillful teacher, that we wonder
it was not continued. When we remember
that the health suffers from inaction, and
that the lungs Of many ladies actually COL
lapse from want Of exercise, we cannot be
surprised that consumption finds many vic
tim in housed, delicate, care-worn woman,
who has not time to 60 out and breathe and
exercise in the life-giving air our dear Lord
bestOWs. Only some especial incentive
would draw these ladies from their hearth
stones, and this incentive was found in the
exercises which so many of our ladies went
through with at the Athletic club, and
through those rapid healthful movements
the arched fullness of chest superseded the
narrow shrunken form, the muscles grew
firm and the figure shapely and we noticed
with surprise the change from round Shout
ders to an erect bearing We noticed lady
friends who at first feeble and uncertain as
to strength, grow firm and vigorous as the
gymnastic exercises were continued. So
we sincerely hope that the training for girls
and ladies has not entirely become a thing
of the past in our community.

THE DYNAMITE EXPLOSIONS.
Tho Excitement They Caused ThrOuKhOuI
 Great Britain.

The excitement caused by the explosion of dynamite in Scotland Yard, London, is intense, and many alarming rumors prevail. The ponce have been actively engaged since the explosion in searching for the persons who committed the outrages. The fear that more disasters oi the same sort are to speedily follow IS so great that large force of police has been detailed to guard all the public buildings and principal railway stations, while number of detectives have been placed on duty in the vicinity or each of the Cabinet Ministers houses, and a couple are at the disposal of each Minister to guard him to and from his residence.
 Great pressure is being brought to bear on the Government to offer a reward of f5, 900 for the capture of the persons who caused the e2, plosiors and E2, 800 for information which VIII lead to ths ir arrest.
 Thirteen persons were more or less injured Among these are five women. All the wounded are i'll the ho pital. Five, including the ponce- man, are in precarious condition. ~
 The explosion was most destructive on the west side of St. James's Square. The wlndoWs in the Duke of C.evelands house and In the War Office in Pail Mall were shattered
 At St. James's Theatre the explosion sounded like two claps of thunder. The audience were seized with alarm which came near resulting in panic. Several ladies fainted and men started to their feet ready to stampede. The audience was finally quieted.
 The explosions created great havoc ln the Junior Carlton Club House. The club will re- main closed several days The dynamite was carried down the iron steps leading to the kitchen and cellars. It was placed in the eel lar under the pathway, with a lighted fuse at tached The upward force of the explosion broke & large hole in the pavement and wrecked the basement apartments of the club
 Col. Majendie, the government inspector ol explosives, pronounces the material used ID the explosion to be largely composed of an atlas powder, recently imported and probably sur plus from an old stock which had laid for long time in America.

A DashIng French General.
THE MAN WHO CAPTURED BAoNnH so QUICKLY AS TO AsToNIsH HIS COM WANDER.

MaoIein is the Annamite word for "quickly." And that is tho name the French soldiers have given to Gen. Negrier, who is at present looked upon as the most wideawake. General in the French army. He commanded one of the brigades in the Tonquin expedition |, and it was he who captured Bacninb. The commander-in-chief,G General Mil lot, came after him. much surprised to find the place already taken. Before that Negrier had sent three officers to report the fact to headquarters, but they did not succeed in reaching Millot's brigade. Uneasy at not hearing any news from Gen. Negrier, Gen. Millot sent Capt. de Vignacourt in tho direction of Bacninh. On coming close to the place he found a flag flying over one of the forts, but the fog was so thick that he could not see what flag it was. Turn ing in another direction he came upon another fort, and was surprised to find that the soldiers did not fire upon him. He advanced and found that they were French troops. He politely asked them if they would be good enough to inform him where he could find Gen. Negrier.
 "At Bacninh," was the reply. "He slept last night in the royal pagoda."
 Vignacourt rode rapidly back, and ar- rived at Gen. Millot's headquarters just as the officers were finishing their break fast.
 "Bacninh is taken" he cried, "Gen. Negrier has been there since yesterday evening""
 Gen. Millot was astonished, and the cores pondent of the Temps says that some of the officers expressed dissatis- faction because Negrier did not wait for them to share the honor of taking the place. They said as much to Gen. Mill lot, to whom they wished to give their sympathy for being late, but the Gen. eral replied that he was delighted.
 Negrier is described as a man whose face denotes great energy. He has splendid eyes and nose like the beak of an eagle. His beard is thick and bushy, thee being a strange mixture of black and red. He is young and thin, and has the air of a General of the olden times.

A Simple Twist of the Wrist.

'tIt was as good as 8 circus" said Ser geant Mulholland. "I was walking along Broadway the other morning when I saw a black-and-tan cab coming furi- ously up Murray street; the driver seemed to be doing his best to stop the animal, but it was unmanageable. A tall, well-built man, who did not see the runaway, was crossing the street. Everybody cried out to him, but the horse was close upon him before he saw it. Quick as thought he put out his right hand, seized the horse by the nostrils, gave sudden twist, and the runaway was lying flat on his side on the crossing. The cab driver was too much astonished to say a word, and the stranger picked up his hat and walked off as coolly as though nothing had hap pened I learned that he was Mir. Lemuel R. Sturges, the owner of cat tie ranch in Texas. He knew a trick that the cowboys have of throwing a steer by giving its head little twist. He practiced it on Broadway, and that runaway horse got lesson that he won't forget if he has any sense. ."-NetO Fork ,0aE17

Only a Scrub.

Colonel Hall, of Maryland, tells with great gusto an amusing story about his horse War Eagle, the winner of the Ran- cocas Handicap at Baltimore. He is certainly a mean-looking horse, and his gait when walking or cantering is sham bling and awkward. When he went to the post, MT. Caldwell, the starter, re- marked to 8 couple of friends who were with him, "Well, admire the pluck of a man who. can start a screw like this for an important handicap in a good field of horses. I would not give 0 dollar for him in pool of $500" At the end of the race MT. Caldwell sought out Colonel Hall, and repeated what he had said, and added, "I know that race horses come and run in all shapes, but did not think that it was possible for one to win with such action"

A Bankers Subscription.

A Western editor who was in Wash ington last week tells 8 story of a Vest ern Congressman's generosity. Some time ago the good people of Western State were raising funds to build a sanctuary. They went to the Congress- mans father and secured 8 subscription of $50. With that as lever they deter mined to go to his son, who is awealthy banker in Indianapolis, and pry out a subscription from him. On account of his wealth they calculated on securing a handsome sum. The young banker took the subscription paper and scruti. nized it from top to bottom. Then he began writing. The hearts of the good deacons swelled, and each one to him. self decided to be profuse in his thanks. They took the paper and glanced at it. The banker had added to his fathers name and subscription "and son."

SERGEANT MOLLY PITCHER.
Taking her Husbands Place Rt His Cannon
 and Fighting it Through the Battle.

The bas-relief cast for the Monmouth monument represents Serg cant Molly Pitcher as a beautiful young woman. She stands barefooted and bareheaded in front of cannon ramming charge home Her dead husband lies at her feet. The ponderous wheels of the gun, with old fashioned iron bands holding the joints of the felloes, are we'll brought out. A bareheaded gunner stands close by, ball in hand. Opposite another gunner thumbs the vent, holding the 6intlock in his hand. The sponge bucket stands in place. An .enemy's ball blows the grassy field. A battery flag sticks in the sod, with the old Freehold meeting house in the background. Artillerymen approach beneath it's steeple. In the foreground General Knox rides away, hourishing his sword.
 Molly Pitcher was the wife of can nonier in Wayne's command. When the American forces retreated from Fort Clinton and the enemy was scaling the ramparts her husband dropped his match and fled. Molly caught it up, fired the piece and then scampered off At the battle of Monmouth, on June 28, 1778, she brought water to her husband and his companions from a spring near by. A shot killed her husband, and the off, cer in charge having no one competent to fill his place, ordered the piece to be withdrawn. Molly heard the order as she was coming from the spring, dropped her bucket, seized the rammer and worked the cannon until the close of the fight. On the following morning, says Tossing, General Greene presented her, still covered with dirt and blood, to Washington, who at once gave her a commission as sergeant. She was placed for life upon the list of half pay officers, and soon after the battle left the army. She died near Fort Montgomery on the Hudson. "The venerable widow of Gen. eral Hamilton" Tossing adds. "told me she had often seen Captain Molly. She was stout, red-haired, freckled-faced young Irish woman, with handsome, piercing eye. The French officers, charmed by the story of her bravery, made her many presents. She would sometimes pass along the French lines with her cooked hat and get it almost filled with crowns" Molly was twenty two years old at the time of the battle. A painting by Colonel Custis, Washing. tons stepson, gives spirited represen. tation of the scene.

IT STILL WoRKs.-A good amateur actor carried 8 satchel into Baltimore groggery and displayed it's contents that seemed to be money to the amount of $25, ,00O, at the same time pretending to be demented. A companion soon inti- mated to the rumseller that the treasure ought to be taken care of, and agreed to leave it in his possession if he would hand over $500 as security. "But this must be your own money" said the friend, 'for nothing in the bag must be disturbed. The sum was eagerly ad- vanced by the saloon man, who, of course, intended to keep the bag, in which he subsequently found nothing but waste paper.
