We will present to our many
subscribers and ladies throughout the en-
suing year, picture portraits of the we'll
known ladies of our state. These por-
traits will represent the fine generation of
the past. Women whose influence,
whose industry, whose counsel, have aid
ed to bring Arkansas to the position she
now occupies. Aided as women can so
nobly aid, by force of character, by firm
ness in emergency, by wise counsel to
their own. So that the state receives
from their hands citizens of whom a COM
monwealth can honor and trust, in pros
perity, and in the trying hour of urgent
necessity. The first portrait will appear
in December.

HE position which some of the ladies
OF the Arkansas Woman's Industrial
Association suggested should be con-
tered upon Mrs. Mary Loughborough,
that OF acting commissioners for the Wo-
mans Industrial Association at New
Orleans, has been declined, and at Mrs.
Loughborough's request the matter was
not urged upon her, as she most firmly
and earnestly desired to have her name
withdrawn from mention, so far as the
commissionership was concerned.

ALLUDING to Canon Farrar's great
lecture upon Browning and his poems, an
exchange thus writes of him and his no.
bic thoughts
''The other great lesson of Canon Far
rar's noble and impressive lecture was
this; That life is only nobly met, only
truly lived, when we meet it as human,
not as a supernatural being-when we
meet its joys and its sorrows, its trials
and its rewards as an earnest, honest hu-
man being; not as an angel, not as de-
mon, not as brute, but as one who lives
in to-day and for tomorrow: as one un-
wounded by the Parthian arrows of yes
terday, unfaltering in courage, in hope,
in aspiration and in the faith of final tri-
umph. Canon Farrar emphasized the
fact that Browning was Christian poet,
and that, in his best work, he has again
and again set forth the great truth of the
Incarnation.

THE telegram of Mr., Jay Gould so
promptly flashed to Mayor Fulton of
Galveston, is one ofthe evidences in this
nineteenth century, that the world is not
so bad as one might believe it to be.
The prompt and spontaneous gift of five
thousand dollars from Mr.. Gould will 60
some little way in relieving the affection,
want and misery, which has SO suddenly
been launched upon the beautiful island
city. Fancy the sight! The devouring
fire licking up ffy-two blocks the wind
blowing powerful gusts, and sweeping
the flames and burning timbers skyward,
while the trembling people stood as par
alyzed, mournhl spectators OF the woe
full havoc.

ALL parties acknowledge that the party
which has been put into power by the
peoDle, should have as potent a voice in
the management of the executive offices
as their opponents; that in filling the pub
lie Offices, the party that has been turned
out should not be permitted to monopo-
lie nine-tenths Of the places. We think
it is the duty of tho president and his cab
met officers, to see hat Democrats have
AZ least an equal share Of the ofices-not
on the principle of public plumber" Of
which there has been too much, but for
the solid reason hat the public interests
require that Republican monopoly of the
public offices hal be broken up; and fur
Their, there is a courtesy and obligation due
to the party which has received the appro
baton Of the people.
