ARYANSAW POLITENESs. -

ARKANsAW POLITENESs. A CORE
spondent of a Toledo paper has been
struck by Arkansaw politeness. This
should cause no establishment, for, as a
class, the Arkansaw people rank high
among the most polite "folks" of the
world. Some time age a gentleman
came to Arkansaw for the purpose OF
"writing up" its crudities. One day
while standing on the bank of a small
stream, native came along and asked:
"Whut yer doin,, p?1ner, watchin' a
snake suthin, [ reckon?" mo, I
haven't. Go on away, I am trying to
catch an idea and don't want to he

eff ger wuster try hard, but l don't be-
leve you'll ketch any ideas, fur ter tell
the truth, capn, don't believe you We
got the bait suitable fur ketching ideas
The writer was a very impulsive man,
anG quickly deciding that the scrawny
fellow needed chastisement, he said: eff
I could get over there I'd thrash you,
my lank fellow" "No trouble bout
that" replied the native, ard rolling
log into the water be helped the CORE
spondent across, whipped him, and con
Quoted him safely to the other bank.
Oh, yes, the people of this state are
polite.-ArkdnS0W Traveller.

A 800 YEAR-OLD.BIBLE

A curious and valuable book has re-
Gently come into the possession of ;. A.
Thompson, of this city, it being Danish
Bible OF the year of 1888 1t was printed
at Copenhagen by Matz Bengaardt, and
is one OF the second edition ever Issued
in the Scandinavian peninsula. Its
history is known tor the past 300 years,
having been in the Svendsdgaardt family
for that time, and it contains the family
record for most of this period. About
seven years ago it was brought to this
country by L. Svensgaardt, and, after
changing hands several times, was re
Gently purchased by Mr.. Thomson, in
Otter Tail county.
The book shows traces of its age, both
from its WORE condition and the style
of its binding. The covers are of Nor
way pine, some fve-eights of an inch in
thickness and covered with hogskin
The corners are finished in bress, figured
in fanciful shapes, which have been bat
tered and worn till whatever beauty they
may have had has been lost. The work
is protuse in its illustrations, and is
valuable chiefly for these, as being vel
preserved specimens of the engravings OF
three centuries ago Quaint and curious
are some of them. The creation Of Eve
is one such, the idea being taken from
the literal wording OF the Scriptures
Adam is asleep, and the Creator is draw
ing full developed woman from hi;
side. A curious thing is that in the SIX y
the sun, moon and stars are all to be
seen at the same time. Mary of the en-,
cravings If not all, are made IN accord
ance with modern rules of aerial per-
spective, a thing not always done in
works Of that century.
A singular fact IS that in the New
Testament there are no engravings until
Revelation is reached. The life of Christ
had not a single scene, and the only
representation Of Him is where He APP
pears to John in Revelation. The value
of the book is not far from ST 900, and
Mr.. Thompson is in communication with
parties who wish to purchase it.-Njnne-

An Iowa Boy nearly Sewers His Arm
With Knife to Avoid Perish
Ing From Cold.

AhS CO1Oe
There comes news from Macon, Ca,
of a very serious injury to Tommy
Downs, son of Mrs. DR.. Downs, of this
city, who with his mother is stopping
with her brother, Elan Evans, in How
ard. about six miles from Macon. Tom
my is twelve years Of age. According
to long account received by Willis
Downs, of this city, tommy went into
the woods near his uncle's house with
his dog. The dog jumped rabbit and
Tommy followed in the chase, and final,
ly saw the rabbit enter hollow tree
About eighteen feet from the ground
was hole in the tree, and thinking to
catch the rabbit he quickly climed up
and thrust bis arm in. Alter failing to
find the rabbit he attempted to withdraw
his arm, and found that by some means
or other it was securely fastened at the
wrist For an hour or so he hung on
and halloed for help until he was hoarse
and could call out no longer. In bis
situation, unable to make himself heard,
almost benumbed with cold, and with
the prospects of being held prisoner all
night staring him in the face, the lad not
know what to do.
Finally he took his knife out, and,
with The freed hand, deliberately set 10
work to cut off the imprisoned arm. He
cut away to the bone, near the elbow,
and, finally, after having severed the
muscles, he dropped from the tree in
swoon.
How long he was in an unconscious
condition he could not state, but he
came to his senses without assistance,
and walked home. Two surgeons were
summoned, and made complete exam
nation of the wound, the boy remaining
calm and composed as they did SO. They
| found the whole of the muscular portion
of the lower aud outer side, extending
from the elbow upwards for about three
and half inches each way, completely
severed and cut down to the bone. At
last accounts it was believed that the
arm could be saved but it must remain
in crippled condition, owing to the
| seyering of the tendons.

Terrible Aecitfent-The Cotton Crop
General News Notes.

Regular Correspondence of the Appeal
WooDvILLE, January 5.-The thermome-
ter registered 80 below zero this morning.
The holidays passed off very quietly in
this section, and there were not many
fights.
Joe Sternberger, of Brownsville, was
down this week, and drove out over forty
head of cattle.
Ira Adkins, aged about forty years, who
lived about three miles from this place,
died last Wednesday. lie was sick short
time and died unexpectedly.
WilliaFa Dixon, a very old man, who
lived four miles from here, died last Sat
urday. He was considered a useful and
upright citizen, and was noted for his in
dustry He leaves family, the members
of which are mostly grown.
The cotton is nearly all gathered in,
and the crop is short. The shortage and
the low prices make it hard on the raiser
of that uncertain crop. The farmers oi
West Tennessee had better quit planting
so much cotton. The poorhouse has
enough inmates now, and beggars are
plentiful. Some OF them, If they continue
to raise cotton, will likely have to join
tAat band.
John Bradford, who got his thigh bro
ken in two places during the snow, his
feet having slipped from under him, and
falling hard, as reported by me to the Ar
PEAf., is some better, but the doctors have
little hope of his ultimate recovery. His
back is affected and being old and delicate
the pains are too great, and the chances
for his life are very few.
Mitchell Lucas, a negro, who lives in
this place, had terrible accident to hap
pen to him last Saturday. He was driving
two-horse wagon to Curve Station, on
the Chesapeake and Ohio road, four miles
distant, and when near that place the
horses took fright and ran down a steep
hin at a terrific speed, threw the negro
out and dragged him several yards. His
face was bruised and gashed up, and one
eye was probably put out. He narrowly
escaped instant death.

A decision was also Rendered in the
celebrated Iowa land cases, involving the
title to large number of improved farms,
affirming the decision of the Supreme
Court of Iowa, and confirming the title OF
the present occupants.
The Chief Justice annognced the reSis-
ion and adoption OF the rules of practice
of the court. In this revision the old
numbers have been retained. The most
important changes made were as follow:
In rule 10, by reason OF want or appro-
priations by Congress, par,--ties are required
hereafter to pay III advance the cost Q:
printing the record. In rule -,
provision IS made for advancing cases once
peIors heard on their Isteiits and brought

Old rafe 80 concerning injunctions and
applicable only to appeals before January
i3, 1874, will be stricken off as obsolete,
and a new rule substituted embodving
settled practice of the court in relation
to rehearings.
Attorney-General Brewster, with APP
propriate remarks, presented the reso-
lutions lately adopted by the bar relative
to the death of the Hon. Jeremiah S.
Black, to which the Chief-Justice replied
and directed that the resolutions be en-
tered on the minutes of the courts. Ad-
