Inv io"i 10 oiuo 10 w give lunCy
dress ball at the roller skating rink
next Friday evening
John B. Coughs lecture on "Blun-
ders," last week, Thursday evening,
was well attended by very apprecia-
tive audience.
The February term of the Supreme
court for this county will be held at
Crosby hall, beginning next Monday,
with Judges Powers, Royce, Taft and
Veazey in attendance.
Parties residing in the village, who
were trying to purchase the skating
rink one day last week, were not lit
tie surprised when told by the proprie-
tors that their price for the same was
$4,000.
One of the old postage stamps, made
in 1916, for Brattleboro people to use,
was recently sold at auction in New
York city for the modest sum of $l75.
Three stores in town are said to do
an annual business of nearly $4,000
each, in the grocery line.
One of our local papers is apparently
determined not to give Selectman Her
rick "a rest" until he explains some of
the discrepancies existing in his ac-
counts as tax collector for the town of
Brattleboro, it assuming that he is
something like four thousand or five
thousand dollars short, and that there
is also no possible doubt that he has
got some of the towns money, which,
of course, remains to be proven. 1t is
emphatic in its charges, however, and
loudly insists on an impartial investi-
cation of his accounts.
Rumor says that man and his wife,
with one or two of their children,
whom the town has had to help to
fuel and provisions this winter, had
got to be regular patrons of the rink
and were paying from fifty to ninety
cents day for that amusement, when
the authorities thought it high time tc
interfere with their arrangements
Some of the merchants are inclined to
criticise those who are owing store
bills for spending so much Of their
money there, they believing that il
might be used to better advantage by
paying their honest debts. Substanti
ally these are the chief reasons fol
wishing to condemn the rink as ;
nuisance.
Probably no town of its size is ia
vored with more entertainments il
the shape of travelling theatrical com
panies than Brattleboro. A good oper;
house is much needed in consequence
the present facilities being poor AM
inadequate, so far as the stage and tn
auditorium are concerned. AS it is
the actors are necessarily cramped TO
room, the stage cannot be half set, no
the scenery properly displayed, which
of course, necessitates cutting the part
short, thereby spelling the effect of tn
play, and in measure, destroying it
identity. as originally intended. TIL
seats all being on level, also oblig
the audience to crane their necks il

structed view of the stage, causin!

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, NOVEMBER |, 1884,

AT the Philadelphia Board of Trade
rooms, Capt. Jas. B. Eads appeared before
the South American Commission. He
stated thatthe most important question con-
nected with the South American trade was
transportation, and explained the enormous
saving of distance he expected the G TIE.
hauntepec Ship Railway" to effect by way
OF communicating with the Pacific coast of
South America. This gigantic scheme Of
transportation will if completed be as aston
ishing spectacle to the observer, as the
Falls Of Niagara, the heights of the Yose-
mite, the Napoleonic highway, or any ex-
hibition of magnitude by which nature sur
prises the vision, or that art can construct
through the mighty profession of engineers.

WE give below one of Mary Clemens
most thoughtful poems:
TO-MOrrOw.
A shining isle in stormy sea,
We seek it ever with smiles and signs;
To-day is sade In the bland to-be,
Serene and lovely tomorrow lies.
1t Knocked US, the beautiful yesterday
1t lett us poorer. Oh, never mind
In the talr tomorrow, far away,
1t waits the joy that we failed to find
With ftful labor and meagre gain,
Life is failure" Be still my heart
To-day-the partial result, the pain;
To-morrow-fruition, the perfect part.
Time looks from our eyes with tenderest
ruth,
1t touches with silver the locks of gold ;
1t kisses away the tints of youth,
Till we say, "To-morrow we shall be
DID,"
We think of the countries far and fair,
All free forever from blight and frost
Where love lives on in the holy air,
Well find again the youth we had lost.
Twill still go on-the beloved task,
That drops half done from the weary
.. hand
Thy crown for another "Why?" you ask.
Thoult waken tomorrow, and understand.
Nothing is finished. From birth to the
.a pail
Our love, our sorrow, life's dear, brief
.r" day
Is a little fragment, that is all,
OF the more that wait in the far-away
Why we are sorry, we shall divine,
When the life that is perfect holds its
sway,
When peace abides in the thine and mine,
AndIto-rnOrrow melts into Gods To-day.
