CURE FOR PILES.

Piles are frequently preceded by [ sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he had some affec- tion of the kidneys or ncighboring or. gans. At times, symptoms of indiges' tion are present, as flatulency, uneasi. ness of the stomach, etc. A moisture
 like perspiration, producing 6 very disagreeablc itching, after getting warm, is very common attendant
 Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr Bo. sanko's Pile Remedy, which acts direct. ly upon the part affected, absorbing the Tumors, ailaying the intense itching
 and effecting permanent cure. Price

Slang.


 Slang as used in the English lan- guage is curious study. There are great many words at present classed under that head which are only going through sort of appren- ticeship in the language before talk ing rank in the dictionaries. Other words and phrases which once stood classically correct have dropped from their position and become familiarly slang. For instance, to fire man out, meaning to expel him, seems an inelegant expression now. Yet Shakespeare concludes his 144th sonnet with the two following lines. Yet this shall ne'er know but live in doubt Till my bad angel fire my good one out.
 Many foreigners had an idea that this phrase was one of the material relics of Revolutionary times, but here is chapter and verse.-N. Y. Graphic,
 The tendency of English towards elegance is one of its greatest hon. ors. And since theologlans are bus fly engaged in putting 'oUT THE FIRE our it were bad taste in us to con tinue "to fire out" Shakespeare to the contrary notwithstandlng.-Ar- kansas Teacher.

Too long have we modestly stood

Too long have we modestly stood back and allowed members of all other professions and vacations to assume almost the entire manage ment of our business, to direct our work, to dictate to us as to our du ties, and to make our school laws: and we have meekly submitted as if we had no professional rights to be respected, no manhood to be assert ed, no public duties to be performed, no independence to be maintained. Farmers have their granges, lodges, or wheels, mechanics theIr unions, doctors, lawyers and editors their associations, and members of nearly -all other vacations have some kind of organized combination for their general welfare, through which they exert influence and demand such Legislation as will advance their Tn. terests. Why should not teachers do this, especially since our work lies at the very foundation of all in terests?
 Tne Arkansas State Teachers As sociation, which has held annual meetings for several years past, of fers you the opportunity to aid in pushing forward the school work of the State with greater success and in more ways than are possible to the individual teacher.
 Any intelligent teacher by care ful examination of our School Law will note some defects which ought to be remedied. This of course can be done only by legislation. Very few people perhaps except teachers have noticed these defects and still fewer would think of asking our leg isature to amend them. It remains for us then to take this matter in hand and so present it to our neA. legislature that they can not fail to see the importance of adopting the needed amendments. This is one of the most important subjects which will be brought before our meeting in June. Other matters of much importance and interest to all live teachers will come before the meet ing.
 Now, 1 earnestly urge you to at tend the meeting of the Association to be held at Morrilton, June IT, IS, and l9, and to aid in making 1t q practical and enthusiastic success If you are strong, we need youi help; if you are weak we will hell you. Do not be content to labor fol the upbuilding of your own commu nities alone, but come and give us some of your light. Can your con sciences rest easy when you behold so much labor to be done for the in tellectual development of our State and the people justly looking to us alone for it's performance? Wha, right have we to complain that oul profession is not held Tn higher es teem? Do we deserve it? Are VI doing all in our power to carry for ward the grand work we have un dertaken, that of guiding the child ren of Arkansas to noble manhood and to an independent citizenship
 Let every teacher and friend Q education who feels an interest il these things write to me for q pro gram of our coming meeting and us' his influence in securing large at tendance.

WASHINGTON, January l7.-In the dis.
cussons that have been had Of the i'm
provement Of the Mississippi river. some
strong argument has been pnt forth against
further outlay Of money by the Govern.
ment Against further appropriations it
is argued that the improvements
that are being made under the
direction Of the Mississippi river com.
mission are directed more 10 the improve
ment OF private property along the river
than 10 any other erd. There is no ques.
tiou but that the main reason that the
river is being improved is to prevent it's
oyeltl ow more than 10 improve navigation.
In working on the levees to check over
ti1ws the lands adjacent are made tillable
and their value enhanced, That fur the
work is tho Improvement of personal val.
uee, and there is where the question arises,
III private property is 10 be improved
should not the States that are bent fitted, or
tho peIsoce, pay the expenses Z" 1t is ar
gued also that the Government in the first
place gave to those States along the Missis-
sippi nearly all the lands adjoining it. and
that 1t is too much 10 now ask the Govern.
ment to throw in improvements to the ex-
tent Of maybe hundreds of millious The
friends Of the Improvements cay that meas.
urea should be ia zen to prevent oyeraows,
Just like plaques are met-lhat they are

to save life as well as property.

CAPTAIN HENRY, ex.Marehal OF the Dis
trict Of Columbia and an Ohio, man, has
been talking about Arthur ss Presidential
possibility. He is pleased to remark: "
love justice too well to permit Chester A..
Arthur, whom hold responsible for the
death Of my friend, the late President, 10
run for the office the latter held without
raising my voice in protest" Captain
Henry talks like man maddened by tho
recollection Of good Office which he no
longer enjoys. Itis bis right to oppose the
Presidents reelection, but he knows that
Arthur WAS no more responsible for Gar
fields death than Henry was. Whatever
Chester A. Arthur is he is not murderer.
More than TINT be is not the man to speak
Of another as Henry has spoken Of him.
Henry ought, in seli'delense, to set up a
plea Of insanity.
