For THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.
 LITTLE SERMONS.
BY J. NJ. S.

The ts of man is the seed of his do.
 When from the life is banished sin,
 No hopeless grief can enter in. The man of mortgage feeds famishing on farms.
 The rash hand holds not the truth sate- ly, nor wins it certain victory. Gods blessings, too great are often held back To await for mans weaving large enough
 sack.
 Who would get to heaven at last must nsw have heaven in his heart, and blos- soming from his hand.
 Slow to the field at morning,
 Swift from the field at night;
 Such workman, you cannot trust him,
 When you are out of his sight. Cowardly fear may bring the soul into the refuge of the "Rock of Ages" wherein it becomes brave in the bravery of Jesus.
 A sunny heart flashes dark tears through and through with laughter, until they go like dewdrops before the suns warm kisses.
 Habit is a chain, soft and pliable enough once, to be broken by child's blow; but now strong enough to defy the strength oi giants.
 Who knows nature knows himself in his relationships; and is advantaged as the young man who knows most thoroughly the young woman he weds.
 Where half the truth is believed in is a good place to proclaim the whole truth |; but pride in that very half truth may lift an insurmountable barrier to the whole truth.
 The wear and tear of trade seems un- favorable to beauty of character, but to that beauty it has the relationship of works din to the finished grandeur of the cathedral.
 Helpless is defeat. Unless our daugh- ters are trained to selEhelp, there may come time when, for lack of power to help themselves, the heavy hand of awful failure will crush them to the dust.
 Whats the use
 Of abusel
 Nothing better
 Binds the letter
 Of the devils coarsest art
 On the heart.
 As the blossom is wrapped up in the seed, so is a mans success wrapped up in himself And as the blossom for great est richness needs the best soil, so success for its highest worth needs the most fav- oring opportunity.

AS the blossom is wrapped up in the seed, so is a mans success wrapped up in himself And as the blossom for great est richness needs the best soil, so success for its highest worth needs the most fav- oring opportunity.

The Senate is doyOting much of its time
to the discussion of the caragua treaty.
1t is 10y no means certain that the treaty
will be ratified, although the weight of
opinion in Washington is that it will be.
The Democrats appear to be generally
against its ratification at present, be-
cause they would like to know how the
incoming administration will stand with
regard TO il before committing them
selves either for or against it. Senator
Elmuuds is strongly in favor of ratitica-
tion at once, while Senator Sherman is
against it. because he thinks that the
treaty cannot be hOnorably ratified as long
as the CIdyton-Bulwcr treaty is in force.
He regards that treaty as still In force.
The State Department insists that the
ClaytOn-Bulwer treaty is no longer in
force. Il has very properly been asked,
why not have the question whether or
not the treaty is in force determined
before acting on the Nicaragua treaty.
England's opinion could be obtained
without difficulty. II the English Gov
eminent assents to the view Of cur State
Department the doubt would be removed
at once. II England holds that the treaty
is still m force we can do one of two
things: We can try to have itmOdilied so
rs tn allow us to carry out the terms Of
the Nicaragua treaty, or we can refuse to
be bound by it.
five do one thing or the other there
will be no uncertainty about oar position.
The meaning of the Clayt0n-Bulwer
treaty is that England and this country
shall unite in constructing the canal and
shall have joint control Of it. England
may not protest while the canal is being
constructed. but when it is finished, if it
ever should be. she may claim that she
has a right 80 participate in the manage
ment OF il under the Clavton-Bulwer
treaty.
If tue Nicaragua treaty IS ratified now
il is plain that the canal will be construct

spect to our right to the absolute control
OF il. We may not nave the right to do
what we please with what is certain to
cost US more than 500, 600 900. Are not
those who advise that there shall he
clear understanding of the status Of the
CIaytOn-BuIwer treaty before the ratifica-
ton OF the Nicaragua treaty our safest

Pension Char2cs

\ few DAYS ago we called attention 10
the schemes of Washington pension
agents to increase the pension charges.
We called attention particularly to the
amendments to the bill which pro-
vides pensions for the soldiers and
sailors of the Mexican war, and
stated that these amendments would
take more than $25,OOO,OOO a year
out of the Treasury. There are good rea-
sons for thinking that $25, OOO,O 600 a year
would fall far short Of meeting their re-
quIrements. 1t is doubtful if any one
can give an approximate estimate of the
amount which they would add to the
pension charges. When the bill
was before the House in the
early part of this month Representative
Hammond, Of this State. expressed his
disapprOvaI of the amendments, and ask
ed Mr.. Keifer, who had charge Of the bill
on the Republican side, to give an
approximate estimate of the amount
that would be required to meet the
exigencies Of the proposed legislation, and
Mr.. Keifer admitted that he could not
furnish an estimate. Mr.. Hammond
wanted to know if Mr.. Keifer could give
an estimate which he thought would be
within a thousand millions of the sum
that would be required. The reply that
Mr.. Keifer made was that he did net think

Neither Mr.. Carlisle nor Mr.. Randall
thinks there is any probability Of an extra
session Of Congress. There is good deal
of talk about an extra session, but it does
not originate with those who speak with
either knowledge or authority. The occa-
sion Of the talk Is, probably, the back
ward condition of the appropriation bills.
Only one Of these bills has been passed, but
the understanding is that all OF them are
in an advanced stage Of preparation.
Mr.. Randall is rather inclined to hold
back the most important Of the appropri-
alton bills because he dislikes to have
them materially changed in the House.
When there is plenty Of time to discuss
an appropriation bill the House is in
clined 10 be lenient in the matter Of
amendments, and the bill that is passed
often does not bear striking resemblance
10 the bill that was reported by the COM
mittee.
The House has confidence in Mr.. Ran
dalPs ability TO handle the apprO 2riation
bills, and there is never any fear that
''stea1s" will be concealed in them. The
only fault that is found with him, if fault

be too economical.
There promises to be a debate of some
length and considerable importance on
the naval bill. The Republicans will in

priatiOn for continuing the work Of build
ing P navy. The Democrats prefer to
make no more appropriations for war yes
sells until the incoming administration
has time to decide upon policy with re-
spect to a navy. The Senate, perhaps,
will take issue with the House on this
matter, and a deadlock, like that of few
weeks ago. may again be witnessed.
There is not much prospect that any
one OF the important bills, such as the
Blair educational bill, the bankruptcy
bill. the interstate commerce bill, the
/ Mexican pension bill, and other prOmi-
nent bills will pass. There will not be
/ time TO pass them.
| An extra session is not desirable from
/ any standpoint. 1t would be commented
/ on to the injury Of the Democratic party.
It would be said that the Democrats
signalized their return to power by calling
! Congress together when there was no
/ occasion for such action.

the Democratic party any good, and it is
gratifying that the Democratic leaders

Yellow Fever incubation.

Withia the last day or two the Surgeon
General Of the Marine Hospital service
has received adyicas that yellow fever Of
the most malignant type exists at Pan
anna and Colon. over >, 400 people died
from that disease in the city of Panama
last year. Some idea of its fearful raw
ages is obtained when it is remembered
that the population Of the city IS only
about u. 600. The Surgeon General adj
vises that the greatest care be exercised
in admitting vessels from the isthmus
into our porte. Indeed, the introduction
of yellow fever from the isthmus is al
most as much to be feared as the intro
lSIc.ion Of cholera from Europe.
In France the experiments Of DIR.
Domingas Freire and DR.. RabOurgeOn
with yellow fever virus are attracting a
great deal Of attention. A paper lately
read before the Academy Of Science by NJ.
Bouley, Vice President, on yellow fever
NEGOTIATIONS excited the liveiiest interest.
The first experiments OF Or. Freire and
Dr.. RabourgeOn were on guinea pigs with
attenuated virus. They then inoculated
themselves, and also several Of their stu
dents and employees. They all underwent
the symptoms OF mild yellow fever,
which disappeared in three days. These
physicians also vaccinated about 200
wharf Iaborers. who remained unaffected
while numbers Of their comrades
died from the disease. Up to the time
that the paper was read before the French
Academy of Science DR.. Freire had vac
cinated Ais persons. OF this num-
Der only seven afterwards took the
fever ami died. DR.. Freire gives it
as his opinion that if yellow fever
incubation were generally praCticed, in
the case Of al epidemic of medium in
tensity the lives of about three-fourths Of
those who would otherwise die would be
saved. Ee recommends that the inocu-
latiOn lie performed by hyP0deTmic injec-
ton. DR.. Freire's experiments have been
in this country for some time,
but as far as known no attempt has been
made here TO guard against yellow fever
by incubation.
