AN APPEALTO SCHOOL MEN.
From Prof J. H. Sthlnn, President of the Arkansas Teacher
 Association.

As president of the Arkansas Teachers Association, I hereby ask your attention and your help. The state association needs funds to en- large it's work and to perfect that already done. The last meeting at Searcy was 3 successful one, and presented matter that deserves Q wide dissemination among teachers directors and patrons. This can be brought about by free use of the printing press and money. The as. sociAfion asked each county exam finer to raise a5 from the teachers of his county. Will you do it? also ask each teacher of Arkansas to send to Hon. F. J. Wise, Pine Bluff, q as a membership fee of the as sociatIon. This is directed to you if you love your profession and are interested in it's growth. If you cannot send q send any amount less than this and attest yonr good will. Think of what has been done during the last year.
 More than el5O, ,OOO have been invested in permanent and elegant school houses in the various towns Uf Inc state; more than $5, GOO have been placed in apparatus and school furniture in the same places; more than &2O, 900 have been plac- ed in school houses in the rural districts; more than twcnty-one counties have raised the standard of examinations. more than one fifth of the directors have deter mined 10 obey the law and to ad- vance school work: more teachers are reading educational literature; scores of books upon pedagogery have been bought by them; more than twenty new county institutes have been organiseds more teach ers' meetings have been held and more patrons are enlisted ii the work; more taxes have been levied and these have been largely sup pIemented by voluntary contribu- tions. The interest Is al,ve and should be properly directed by the best thought of the state. The State Teachers Association is the exponent of the most conservative thought in Arkansas, and it's work should be thrown broadcast throughout the land. Forty or fifty men may be able to generalize, but they cannot furnish all the means for a general work. Every teach CT can do solnething; every trus. tee can do something; every friend of education can do the same, Will you do it! It you respond do so at once, if it be but p cents I also ask the teachers of every township in Arkansas 10 organize themselves into a teachers assOcis tion, and meet every second Satur day for general improvement Will cath paper, religious anc otherwise be kind enough to copy this appeal!

Good Manners.

Never pick your teeth at the ta- ble.
 Never seal a letter of introduce tion.
 Remember everything except an injury.
 Do not make an ostentation of your dress.
 The grace of patience will be- come 8 man.
 The guest who comes late spells the dinner.
 True politeness has no time te think of itself. Self consciousness is the essence of vulgarity. Good temper is the essence of good manners. Do not press a favor when you see it will be unwelcome.
 There is no aattery so exquisite as the flattery of listening.
 The last injury which a man for gives is a wrong to his self-love.
 A sarcasm is like 9 boomerang you never know where it may light.
 A married lady when she makes q l call will leave her husbands card A man who talks slang in a lady's hearing stands in need of 'lisci pline.
 Be careful how yon convince your i friend that he has made a mistake. A young lady may give her hand to a stranger, but will not shake his. In helping any one at table never use knife when you can use 2 spoon. 1 Pride, ill-nature and the want oi sonse are the three great sources of ill.manncrs.

THE HERo's BURIAL PLACE.


Unless the representations that may
be made to Mrs. Grant by such friends
of the family as Gems. Beale, Burdett,
and Creswell and Mr.. Geo. W, Childs
shall change her decision as to the place
of burial for the dead hero, it may be
regarded as finally settled that bis'rc'
mains will find sepulture in Riverside
Park.
1t is highly improbable that anything
will be said which will change this ar.
rangement, for the determination was
not lightly or hastily made, and there
may be reasons, unknown to the public,
for the firm purpose of Mrs. Grant to
have the grave Of the general in New
York.
One reason which is apparent to all is
the desire of Mrs. Grant to reside in New
York. Her wish to have her husband s
grave where she can visit 1t without max
ing a journey should be respected-it is
natural and womanly.
1t is not seemly that the air should be
filled with complaints or harsh accusa'
tons at such time as this, aud while
we are still Of the opinion that Washing
ton should have been selected as the
place of burial, we are sure that it will
be better to bow gracefully to an irreyoc'
able decree than to carry on hopeless
contest.
Riverside Park ia a secluded and de-
lightful place, far preferable to Central
Park. Its name will be changed to

TUE Troy Telegram, after careful
survey Of the political field and adjacent
pastures, arrives at the conclusion that
Hendricks and Higgins would sound
we'll for 1888, but perhaps Higgirswould
not be content with the second place"
Without assuming to speak by the card,
we venture the opinion that our Troy
contemporary is in error with regard to
Mr.. Higgins. If he were to occupy
either place on ticket with Hen
bricks, he would prefer the rear on the
ground of SAFETY and comfort. Thus
situated, there would be no occasion to
wear out his strength in trying to con
vince the tail that it was really the tell

SECRETARY wnlrYEY's TACTICS.

Secretary Whitney has shown great
dexterity in covering the administra.
tion's retreat. His letter to Mr.. Roach S
assignees is so adrot that we cannot re.
frain from expressing animation of it..
When Cabinet officer finds himself oc'
cupying an untenable position through
the stupidity of one of his colleagues and
contrives to open bridge in the rear by
which he may retire without seeming to
have been completely routed, the tactics
deserve high praise. This is what Secre'
tary Whitney has succeeded in doing.
He has proposed basis for a com
promise, by which Mr.. Roach or the as.
signees will be enabled to resume bust.
ness and complete the cruisers. This
will involve direct reversal Of the ad'
ministraton's policy. The govern
ment, instead Of rejecting the Dolphin
and the cruisers and suing the builder
for $4,000, 600, will make arrangements
for the completion of the vessels and
their liual acceptance. 1t is n maneu.
yer which in military language would
be described as rght.about.face. But
so sLillfully is it disguised and executed
that the Secretary does not appear to be

ing the Attorney Generals fantastic

The removal Of Mr.. Henry Howes
from the position of chief of the pre-
emption division of the general land
office has excited surprise in the minds
of those who hoped for something like
an application of the principles of civil
service reform. Mr. Howes was an ex'
perienced and faithful official. He had
been in the service thirteen years, aud
had secured advancement by merit alone.
To turn such an official out for no other
purpose than to create vacancy is not
reform, but the reverse.

TIE VIRGINIA. cAMpAIGN.

Two steps in the bourbon conspiracy
have thus been taken successfully. The
first was to elect majority in the legs
lature in 1883 by fraud and terrorism.
The second was to unseat enough Re.
publican members and put Democrats in
their places to control the legislature by
a two.thirds majority, and SO override
the governors veto. The third step is
soon to be taken. 1t is 10 elect gov.
ernor and other state officers by Dem.
cratic control over the ballot boxes,
which control was gained by law
passed by fraudulent majority in the
legislature. If this can be done the
prizes in the grasp of the conspirators
are United States senatorship and the
electoral vote Of Virginia in the presi.
dental campaign of 1888. The attempt
of half a dozen ballot-box suffers to
nullfy an election in one state senatorial
district in Chicago last November aroused
the indignation Of whole people. This
deed sinks into insigniicance, however,
beside the crimes committed by the Vir
ginia conspirators in their effort to steal
