An Enjoyable Affair.

Correspondence of the Democrat.
 1 believe all the Russellyilians who attended the moonlight excur- sion on the steamer Martha, so nice- Iy arranged aud well managed by the Dardanelle Fire company boys, on last Friday night, will agree with urc in saying that it was one of the most enjoyable affairs in which we have participated this season. The love- liness of the night, with the placid waters of the majestic river, and the dark verdured banks clad in all the freshness of a new spring garb, bathed in the soft, silvcry light of the full faced moon, was only excell ed by the beaming pleasure depicted on every conntenance. The charms of music furnished by both string and cornet bands, exccllently ex- ecuted, added zest and pleasure to the occasion. The beauty and gal lantry of Dardanele was there, and the smiles of the girls and the cour- tesy and open hearted cordiality of the boys made the Russellvllle par ty feel at home.
 All vied with each other to see who could get most enjoyment out of the occasion, and no attention that courtesy could suggest was with held from our party by our generous guests.
 Without disparagement to any, l cannot refrain from making mention of the obligations we are under to Messrs. w. l.. Morris, and c. T. Stir man, especially, for unceasing atten tion to the comfort and pleasure of our party.
 The Fire Company boys are cer- tainly a success. The magnificent steamer Martha, under the skillful handling of her efficient master and officers behaved herself like a queen of the waters. She is certain ly magnificent craft and Dardanelle is highly favored in having one of the best Steam Ferry Boats in all the Arkansas waters.

To the People of School District
 No. IA.

LNOs
 FELLOW CITIZENS The time will soon arrive when you will be called upon to vote upon the question of tax for the support of public schools in your district for the ensuing year. Dur ing last year we ran the school six months on the tax voted. leaving a balance in the treasury of some three hundred dollars. We have a large and well arranged house upon which there is an indebtedness to various parties of over two thousand dollars for the liquidation of which no provision has been made. Now to meet this contin- gency we ask and urge upon you to vote at least 219 miles of the next tax to liquidate the said indebtedness, so far as it will go. With the balance of the tax (21S milesJ and the money on hand we can run the school next fall and winter five months, aud as soon as our house is out of debt, which will be by following the above course two or three years, then we can run the school nine months in the year. It is of the ut most importance that our district be out of debt and the only resource is to vote n part of the tax for that express purpose. There is . bill before con- gress to appropriate a large amount of money for education In the South, should it become a law, It with the school tax will run free schools in our state nine months in the year. But none Of it can be used for school-honse purposes, so we must build our own houses.

The Mexican LassO.

The lasso itself is a rome made of the
twisted fibre of the maguev, or aloe. known
in Furonean markets as Sisal bemp. There
ia n vrea. difference in the quality: the best
and strongest are twisted so extremely tight
that il is almost impossible to untwist the
strands, One end is worked into a small
loop lined inside with leather. tbrough
which when about to throw the lasso, the
other end is passed. The rome is about 30
feet long. about one-third of il formed into A
noase which ia grasped a little above the
loon--i where the rope is double. the
rest of i, is coiIed round and held in the left
hand. ready to let 90. the extreme end being
kent separate and of course retained. The
moose should hang well clear of the ground
when held level with the shoulder. and when

diameter, The lasso is swung over the head
and left shoulder, and back over the righ,
shoulder. a peculiar turn of the wrist as il
begins to return. keeping the moose omen. II
is thus made to circle round and round his
head bv the thrower until he il within dis.
tance of his object. when il is launched and

circular form. and settling quietly round the
object aimed at. Before it settles the throw

and gives il two rapid turns round the ea5e,a

is not quick enough at this, and the bull

A girl once complained to her aunt that
her father did not give her any pocket
money. The aunt was a kind hearted
woman, and thinking to make her niece
happy. she presented her with . ten dollar
bill. The young lady was delighted. OF
course. and profuse in her thanks. Short
ly after she went on walk, and upon her
return proudly exhibited to her aunt .
handsome purse and gold mounted draw
ing pencil. She did not actually need
either of these articles. but they were
pretty and took her fancy. The cost of
them was seven dollars. The pencil was
lost before many DAYS. and as the remain
ing three dollars were frittered away,
there was little use tor the purse The
good aunt was at no loss to see why the
father withheld pocket money from his
daughter, and thereafter she herself found
some other use for her ten dollar bills.
It should be added that this young lady
called herself an economical girl. When
she had no spending money she could get
along bravely without many things which
her soul craved. Yet our readers can
Judge for themselves, from the incident
above related. whether she had the true
idea of economy or not.
Frugality. thrift. economy are greatly
advocated as desirable virtues. But these
do not mean simply going without what
Is needed. Economy is TO get the most
possible out Of dollar; not 10 waste it
and then be driven to practice self denial.
There is great difference even among
very young people in this regard. Give
two girls or boys dollar. and often you
will discover when the cash is spent that
one girl has an equivalent to show for it.
She has her full moneys worth of some
thing desirable. This is economy. The
other can hardly tell where the money is
gone. II has been so foolishly expended
that she might almost as well have lighted
the fire with it.
1t is not difficult to acquire habits OF
true economy. but the practice of it should
begin with small sums-the dimes and
quarters-and childhood is the time to
take the first lesson.
