The Worth of Their Money.

An amusing incident occurred last
night at the Arch street theater. The
doors of the theater had just been open
ed when there appeared at the box Of
fee two middle aged men, who asked
the price of good front seats. The Pc
culiarity of their attire bore striking
resemblance to the wonderful suit of
''store clothes which Barney McAuley
wears in the last act of the Jerseyman.
That they were from the country was
self-evident; that they were specially
gotten up for a visit to the theater
was apparent, and their demand for
two front seats exhibited a disregard
for expense sometimes seen in the
young man from the country who has
come to town for the purpose of max
ing night of it.
s.The cost will be -" began the
ticket seller.
'Oh, blow the cost. Let's have the
cards." one of them interrupted.
Taking their tickets they were shown
to seats on the first row in the orches-
ira. The green curtain ordinarily used
at the theater being away for repairs
the drop-curtain-an elaborate repre-
sentation of Diana and her nymphs on
the Island of Delos-had been lowered
in place of it.

''It's big thing" replied the other.
ga nice gal is the big one"
Eyes, but look at tie one blowing the

"Oh, N.Y." was all his companion
was capable of saying.
Silently they inspected the curtain
for while, and then the first speaker
broke out with the remark:
Il calkilate we've had the wuth OF
our cash-let's go.''
They arose to leave the theater. On
their way out they came across Mr..
Samuel Ruhe, the veteran usher, tc
whom they expressed the opinion that
the painting was a great thing, but 6
trife expensive. Ruhe saw the mis-.
take and told them that the perfor.
nance had not yet begun.
'Dew tellr' exclaimed one. '.He1

Ruhe remove the veil of ignorance from
the eyes of the rural visitors. Back tc
their seats they repaired, and during
the performance OF lie Voyage Ell
Suisse they attracted the greatest at
tention by the heariiness of their laugh
ter and the strength of their applause
As they arose to depart one of them re
marked:

own heart, Nora, to look on me as

own heart, Nora, to look on me as
dead"
Is it any wonder that for long weeks
afterward Nora Wade had lain as one
dead, and that when consciousness had
come she had longed to die? Months
afterward she was brought back to the
home of her childhood, and there they
had nursed her back to life. But the
days were to her but meaningless shad-
ows. and had it not been for the little
that life grew brighter and sweeter
every day in the peace of the old farm
house she would willingly have fallen
into the sleep that knows no waking.
Now she sits in the shadow OF the
darkened room, living again through
the scenes of the past year. But Ell
the fierceness of her old rebellion has
died away, and she feels only weary,
weary pain that knows no surcease.
She looks upon the lovely child-face
before her with a great tenderness in
her mother eyes-which is yet half a
terror. What if those baby lips should
never lisp her name again-what if
those dimpled hands should never press
her face again in the long, lonely years
to comet And the sweet voicei Would
the old home ever be glad again with
out its ringing echoes? Not only her
own heart she knows will break, but
the old hearts too, that have grated
their happiness upon the tender, beau
tiful blossom.
But no! She drives the thought
away. Surely God will leave her this
this one wee flower that has bloomed
upon her cross. In her sleep the child
sobs her name, and Nora takes the
dainty golden head in her arms, kiss
ing the flushed cheeks and soothing the
wee sufferer to sleep again. And with
the baby arms around her neck, she
slumber

WYNNE STATION, ARK.
A Thriving Little Town at the Foot of
CrOwIey's Ridge.

Special Correspondence of the Appeal
WYNNE STATION January 29.-I introduce
to the readers of the APPEAL to-day little
town near the foot of Crowley's ridge, on
the Iron Mountain and Helena railroad,
and on its western slope, with the unpre-
tentious name of Wynne Station. Its
name is neither historic nor inviting, nor
is it familiar in song or story. Twelve
months ago one log hut stood near the
switch. 1t was Uncle Jenkins Newsom's s
home. Here the old man had his corn
shuckings and gay dances for the young
folks for many year. The railroad was
built, and the rushing of the train and
loud whistle made the old man feel I'M
easy, so he bundled up his "stock and
store" and sought more secluded home
in Louisiana. To-day six months ago,
twice told, and little frame saloon began
to go up. Now four dry goods stores, one
good thriving trade, and besides a
livery-stable and steam saw and grist-mill
and cotton-gin are now being built In
the same latitude as Memphis, its location
is free from the objection TO places further
north or south, where sudden northers
rush down or hot winds parch the earth.
A rich alluvial soil yields abundant return
for the farmers toll. The country is COM
paratively level, with vast forests OF TIM
ber and all sorts of wood. Lands are
cheap, S. to SO right along the railroad.
Good men from whatever section find
hearty welcome here. THE best poor
mans country on earth" is not putting it
too strong Plenty of deer, bear, turkey,
and smaller game and fish in the streams
near by. To the poor man we say, come
and see for yourself. Plenty of bread and
meat in Cross county. 1t is said Wynne
Station will cOmpete strongly for the
county seat at next election.

Needs Something of the Sort.
BRIGHT AT BIRMINGHAM.
Georges Land Policy COndemned-Im
pOrtanf Measures to Come Be
fore Parliament.

LONDON, January 30.-John Bright ad-
dressed a large meeting at the Forward
Liberal Club in Birmingham. He said
that after the franchise measure the most
pressing question for reform in Parliament
would be the reform of the land laws. He
utterly condemned Henry Georges land
propositions, saying they were the most
extraordinary and impracticable and
widest ever imported by an Ameri-
can inventor. Georges scheme be-
gan with hitherto unheard-of con-
fiscation which Bright believed would
end in immeasurable evil and confusion.
1t was impossible, he declared, to imagine
the corruption ensuing ii the letting of
plots of land everywhere was intrusted to
a government department. Bright said
he had been charged with being so entirely
American that he wanted to Americanize
English institutions. That charge was an
exaggeration. He was not worthy of
Georges scheme. Although American it
had not been tried IN America. Laugh
ter. Although there were so many mil
lion acres of land in America belonging
to the State, it is surprising that a trial
of the scheme has not been made there
instead of here, where George was a
stranger. After an eloquent allusion to
the civil war in the United States where
the North abolished slavery, Bright de-
clared II would he as great cruelty, Jolly
and injustice to confiscate the property of
landlords as to attempt to again make
freedmen in America slaves. Georges
plan, the speaker said, was simply a
result of the common sense and honesty
of the English people. Nevertheless the
system of land tenure must be altered, so
as TO enable land to come gradually and
naturally into the hands of those most re-
quiring and desiring it, and most able to
pay for and best able to work it for the
public advantage. 1t would be easy to
abolish the laws of primogeniture and entail
to facilitate the transfer of land. English
men should try these reforms before at
tempting wild and extravagant schemes.
Mr.. Bright's remarks were greeted
with cheers. Joseph Chamberlain, presi-
dent of the Board Of Trade, also spoke.
He pointed to the fruits of his bankruptcy
act and patents act, and promised to do
something during the ensuing session to
stop the scandalous waste of life. The
Marquis of Salisbury, Conservative,
in speech at Hertford, said
he would decide upon his course
during the coming session of Par
Lament, when he had seen the measures
which the government proposed should be
dealt with. He thought the people should
be first consulted concerning so large a
measure of franchise.

WITHOUT CAUSE OK WARNING.
A Lady Struc-s in The street by a Man
She Did Not Know.

New York Herald: Accompanied by her
husband, Mrs. Mary Thompson, of No.
2S5 Grand street, Jersey City, was walking
in Grand street this city, yesterday after
noon, when a man, without the slightest
cause or warning, turned in passing and
struck her with his fist in the face.
The blood spurted from her lip, which
was cut by the mans knuckles, and she
would have falien but for her husbands s
assistance. He was about to thrash the
assailant when, a policeman, who saw the
assault, took the man into custody. Sew
eral citizens, incensed at the outrage, went
with Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson to appear
against the prisoner in the Essex Market
Police Court, where he was Immediately
arraigned.
Mrs. Thompson and her husband were
persons of very respectable appearance.
The lady's face was marked by several
bruises and painfully swollen lip. Nei-
ther husband nor wife could account for
the attack. They had never seen the
prisoner before, nor had they any trouble
with him at the time. He also was well
dressed end appeared to be slightly intoxi.
Gated, but not enough to justify com
plant for drunkenness being taken against
him. He described himself as James
Reilly, foreman plumber, of No. AT
Grand street. He pleaded not guilty and
Justice German held him in 500 bail fol
trial
