AN ENIGMA.
Arkansas ladies' journal. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1884-1886, 1884-09-06

THE European outlook indicates general
interest of foreign power in the French war
upon China. England is severely denounced
by France, whose journals affirm that in all
the trials and distresses of France, England
has reioiced. Austria approves the attitude
assumed by France, it seems, and will give
her contenance to the thrashing of nervous
little China; principally, it is believed, to
thwart England in the far East. Russia, it
is said by late kilograms, is holding herself
ready to give substantial aid to France,
thereby she will secure forherself advantages
upon her own frontier. The Japanese, how
ever survey the scene, it may be believed,
with eyes seemingly sleepy yet vigiIant'
The "ttle laps" need only slight "WhooP-
ING up" as the boys say, to prance into the
fgbt advancing into the melee in the lively
wav the orientals have. They will meet in
battle an equally lively foe, as the Chinese

commercial value, are rising in price, while

business are being taken up, and the world

and abroad for hundreds of years, of politi-
cal changes, and recurrencies of elections.
We acknowledge the receipt of a pam
phlet containing the address Of commissioners,
and other matter pertaining to the worlds
exposition in New Orleans. We trust the
exhibit of Arkansas will be a creditable one.
While other states of larger resources are
expanding much money and labor, pride Of
citizenship would dictate that Arkansas, also,
be we'll represented before the country and
the world. Effort and perseverance is often
the equal of money, and very often these
qualities outStrip every thing in a race Of at
tainment Why may not our state enter the
contest Of states, emulating them with reso-
lutte energy. Next winter will be gala
time in the beautiful southern city to which
each nation and state will bring the product
of their arts and agriculture. When Arkan-
slams find themselves in the Gulf City looking
on and taking part in the grand presentation
Of countries, their position will not be an
enviable one, if Arkansas and her products
presents then sorry display.

To my hand you aspire,

If a union with me,

"Let there be Light and joy for Bind
Children

The illustrated article on the first page was
written by a graduate of Perkins Institution
for the Blind in South Boston, ga teacher of
broad culture and uncommon talent" and the
illustrations are by Miss l.. B. Humphrey.
Appended to this very interesting article is a
.rac simji,e reproduction of a letter written by
Laura Bridgman, DR.. Howe's celebrated deaf,
dumb and blind pupil, in which an appeal is
made for the establishment of kindergarten
school for blind children. A contemporary
well says of Miss Bridgman: 'She knows, if
any one does, how great boon education will
be TO those who live now in darkness and
gloom" Miss PoulssOn also speaks by author
ity, and in the closing paragraphs of her contri-
button to Wide Awake points out the necessity
for such a school. Further details are given in
an appeal to the public recently issued by Mr..
Anagnos, director of the Perkins Institution,
from which we quote as follows:
There is in New England large number of
blind children, between the ages of four and
nine, for whose instruction and training there
Is no provision whatever; whereas, owing to
the nature of their ntirmty, and to the unde-
>llableness of their surroundings, these atflict-
ed members of the human family need more

Such a school. in small way is already in
operation i'll connection with the Perkins Insti-
Il,
Poulsson. 1t is, however, altogether made
quate. and it is now proposed to found and
su b>tantially endow II separate school. for
which purpose the sum of $250,000 is needed.
This money it is hoped the public will contri-
butte. The matter is in the hands of board of
trustees composed of solid men of Boston, and
The treasurer is Mr.. Edward jackson, I3S Dew
onshre street Boston, to whom contributions
may be sent. Are there not some of our peo-
pie who can help in this good work: We
again quote Mr.. Anagnos:
Scores of little children are now virtually
waiting TO partake of the benefits of such an
establishment. They are furnishing for the
intellectual and moral food which il promises
to supply to them. Plunged in a sea of ills,
they stretch their helpless hands towards the

The Machias Union has found mares nest.
Ii questions the sincerity of Republican profes-
slohs III favor OF civil service. reform because
the collectors of the ports of Portland East
port and Belfast have not, as the Mon infers,
appointed Democrats or Greenbackers. In
point of fact we believe the appointments made
by these collectors are but four or five IN all.
and We know of no construction of civil service
rules which can restrict such appointments to
Democrats amt Greenbackers. Competency is
supposed to be the test, and we are quite sure
that Is not the exclusive property of Democrats
and Greenbackers. The Democratic idea of
civil service reform was illustrated when they
organized the House. and turned out competent
hepubhcans to make places for incompetent
Democrats.

Signs of Spring.

Last week there began to be an indefinable
change in the atmosphere which induced
people 10 say to each other that ''the back of
winter is broken" or that spring has come. y
Even then the sleighing was good and there
were snow drifts in places that would do credit
the blue eXpanse of the bay The air was
sharp in the early mornings, too but when the
sun wa, well overhead its heat was agreeablv
felt while the streets were full of trickling rilIs
and i'll places the side walks We're under water.
The crow, as usual the earliest of our song
birds, began some days ago to hold his spring
caucuses and to rouse the late sleepers with
sufficient caws. On Saturday morning quar-
tette of robins perched in an apple tree uttered
their spring notes, which we hope will not be
protested by Il return of wntry weather. On
the same day party of children We're seen
playing croquet; although the spirit of truth
fulness characteristic of journalists impes us
to say that they were playing upon the snow
But the boys found bare spots on the side
walks for playing marbles; and when the
pockets of the small boy bulge out with alleys
and taws everybody knows it is time for winter
to take a back seat. Nature, too, is giving
signs of spring. There are green blades of
grass to be found here and there where the
snow has melted off, and the pussy willows are
out. Maple sugar-but perhaps the less said
about that the better.

The Railroad Era in Literature

Messrs. Funk & Wagnalls, of New York,

works by the best of American authors, as
Julian Hawthorne, Joaquin Miller, Geo. p

A despatch from Portland to the Boston
Globe says the present indications are that two
different sets of delegates from this State will
claim admission to the national convention of
the Greenback-labor party at Indianapolis
May 18th. Maine is entitled to twelve dele
gates, two for each congressional district and
four for the State at large. The Scion Chase
Grecnbackers will elect delegation at their
State convention, to be held at Augusta, April
Both, while the other, and larger, wing of the
party will choose delegates at its State conven-
tion in Lewiston, April oath. Each wing, of
course, claims to have maintained the Green

1t is important that men should have houses ::
shall they remain out of doors until the car
penters of their town are willing to reduce
their wages, so that they can afford to build
them, or Shall they be permitted to employ car
penters from Il neighboring town who will
meet their requirements! The home carpen-
terS profess an inability to comply with the
demand. But if they find that other carpenters
are being employed in their stead, how long
will it be before they will either modify their
prices, or exercise their mechanical skill in
such a way, that they will not be afraid of out
side competition?
This is an argument for free ships put forth
by Capt. John Goldman in letter to the Bruins
wick Telegraph. His illustration of employ
ing carpenters from neighboring town hardly
applies to buying the products of British labor
to the detrment of our own people; but his
plan for reducing the prices of American labor
is in complete harmony with the utterances of
other free traders, of which we have before
made mention. Fortunately the workingmen
of this country have votes and know how to
use them, and in the coming elections they will
make short work of those who would rob and
degrade them through free trade measures.
