INJURED; but on being allowed to keep their side

coldly and upbraided them for their unfaithful-
ness. Finally he dismissed them to 90 to their

their revolvers they fought to the death. killing

The Latest Importation of Foreign cart.

The Latest Importation of Foreign cart"
London Letter.
The famous, or as some say Infamous" pict-
ure called Mana lie now on its way to America,
or has perhaps already arrived. 1t created
quite a sensation last season in London, and has
now realized $25. 900. The work was generally
regarded as outre, not to say indecent, and peo-
pie hardly liked to admit in society that they
had seen it. although as a matter of fact nearly
everybody did see. Much of the effect produced
was due to the manner the work was exhibited.
1t was placed at one end of g saloon, all of which
was in darkness save the end where a strong
light was thrown upon the picture. The visitor
approached by means of a dark staircase,
and stood in total darkness to view the painting,
not being able even to see who was having q
shllling's worth at the same time as himself.
The picture represented a magnificent female
figure very much au ~naturel, with suitable Access
series, looking under the circumstances start
lingly like life. A piece of real carpet Joined the
rich Turkey carpet of the painting, so as to COM
plete the resemblance. 1t proved a gold mine
to the first exhibitor. He sold the work for $l5,-
900 to a man who made an equally good thing
out of showing it round the provinces. and final
iy sold the painting for $40, 900 more than he
gave for il.

Napoleon III and Mile. de MontJio.

Edward Kings New Book.
The gosaps, since the fall of the empire, say
that the Emperor's declaration was brought on
by a somewhat coT1ical incident. They relate
that, returning from the chase one evening with
Mile. de Montijo, the Emperor ventured to in
troduce himself at the door of her private room,
and to linger there for a moment; thereupon he
was driven cut without ceremony, and, the story
adds, with enc or two vigorous blowsfrom a rid
ing-whip. This, it was said, confirmed his de-
cided opinion as to the unimpeachable virtue of
the young countess, and it was not long before
he talked ofmarriage. He wrote a letter to the
mother of the adored one, and the good lady. af-
ter having shown this precious document to all
her intimate friends, allowed herself to be con-
vlnced. and the engagement was soon announced
to the company gathered at Compiegne.
There was o great oltpOuring of scandal as
soon as this announcement was made. The elder
Countess of Montijo had the dissatisfaction of
seeing her past reviewed without mercy, and the
Legitimist and other factions of the Monarchical
Opposition to the new Emperor gave full vent to
their spleen and their satire. The Prince Napo-
leon was naturally very angry, as it put an end
to the hopes that he had begun to cherish of be-
ing the legitimate successor of Napoleon III.
Everywhere the coming marriage was alluded to
as eccentric; and so wise and careful q man as
M. Theirs even ventured to have his little joke
at the Emperor's expense. He said: 1.-THE En-
peror has always seemed to me to be q clever
man. To-day / see that he has plenty of fore
sight, fer. by his marriage, he is probably re-
| for himself the rank of a Spanish gran
dee" This little pleasantly contained q delicate
allusion to the insecurity of the Emperor's posi-
ton.

Then and Now.
Then.

men,.
knew a little maiden once
In days of long ago;
Her eyes were bright, her hair was black,
Her voice was sweet and low;
Her smile was like the ripping of
Some soft and silvery sheen;
Her form in loneliness surpassed
All [ had ever seen.
But deeper down I saw the charm
That winged my .cupid's dart
Surrounded by this loneliness
Lay a still lovelier heart.
So, gathering all my forces, I,
With front both firm and bold,
Besieged the lovely fortress, that
Ilonged to have and hold.
Her eyes were bright-their brightness
Has been dimmed by many tears;
Her hair was black-its lustre
Has been changed by many years,
And where there was a dimple,
A wrinkle now appears.
But ret a sanity halo
Around that face I see,
Which makes it far more lovely
Than in the past to me.
And The love which fills my being,
In The afternoon of life,
Is crater far than ever
For that little word-my wife.

Estranged.

1t was but yesterday that thou
Vert with love-whispers eloquent;
Yet come and look upon her now
That life is spent.
How strangely white the face hath grown,
No longer prest by kisses fond;
Why turn, now that her soul hath flown
And rests beyond9
Why enter'st not the darkened room
To touch again those cold, white lips
So cold and white, seen in the gloom
Of Deaths eclipse2
Thou vert so loving once, but now
Take that cold hand as lovers may,
Imprint a kiss on that calm brow,
Nor turn away.
1t was but yesterday that thou
Vert with l~ove-whispers eloquent
Thou will not look upon her now
That life is spent.

"COventry Bridge"

coventry EbriOse.'
Lake breezes cooled the fervid heat,
And all the air was summer sweet,
AS striding w the village street
He went the way love winged his feet,
Towards the Bridge of Coventry.
The meadow grass, like oceans swell
In emerald pillows rose and fell;
And all the song birds sang to tell
His happy heart, that all was well
About the Bridge of Coventry.
BY balmy air his brow was met,
And all life's darkness paid its debt
Where rushes into silver fret
The water, as his feet were set
Upon the Bridge of Coventry.
The watch-tower's walls of snowy white
Cleaned through the trees upon his sight,
And his glad heart with hope was light
His life with golden sheen bedight
Upon the Bridge of Coventry.
On summer air as warm as wine,
Above the tree tops hiding line
He saw a white scarf CLEAN and shine
AS love shook out her welcome sign
Towards the bridge of Coventry.
Where miror1ike the sky was glassed,
With fight as ever arrows fast
The dragon-fies their shadows cast
Upon the limpid stream. that passed
Beneath the Bridge of Coventry.
He heard the ripple Of the stream,
- And saw the sunlit waters CLEAN
Which threads the meadows like a seam,
And fows as softly as a dream
Beneath the Bridge of Coventry.
The ffeur de lis with hooking hue
Gave back the sky its turquoise blue;
Sun-freckled tiger lilies grew
Where arching elms their shadows threw
Upon the Bridge of Coventry.
The land with summers gold was drest
And redder than the sun-dyed West,
He saw the orioles golden vest
CLEAN from its high Exchanging nest
Above the Bridge of Coventry.
All, memory! in your hidden store
Will lilies bloom for evermore;
And rushes fringe the meadowed shore
Where sunlit limpid waters pour
Beneath the Bridge of Coventry.

Arkansas Cpal.

Mir. Henry Wood, general man. ager of the Valley Route, has de voted considerable attention to the coal interests along the line sf she Forth Smith road since his conncc- ton with it, and Arkansas coal IS to- day widely known and exten- sively used largely through his et- forts in that behalf. It was at first thought by locomotive engineers that this coal was unfit for uSe m their engines. It is now adopted for engine use by the Arkansas Valley Route lines and the. Frisco road. A braack road has been built from the main line of the Fort Smith road 10 the principal mines which facilitates the hand ling of the ''output.' Mir. Wood this morning informed a Democrat reporter that trial shipm ant to- day went over the Valley Route to New Orleans where the use of smoky bituminous coal is prohibl- ted, and he thinks a large trade for this semi-antEracite coal will follow its introduction in that mar ket. Specimens of tile coal have also been sent Ea.t to be tested in the coke ovens for smelling pur- poses. results are as favorable as expected, measures will be talk en to work some of the iron aud other mines which are now lylng dormant in aur State. So great is Mir, Woods faith in this coal that he has ordered three extra large coal burning freight engines to handle this trade, and will shortly place sn order for number of { he most improved coal cars. "Thcre is no reason" said Mir. Wood, why the coal business should not be developed to be as profitable to the roads as the cotton traffic and I mean to give it a fair test. '- Arkansas Democrat.

An Aged Peach Tree.

Wo were shown portion of the trunk ofa tree on Wednesnay, the 24th ult., grown on the plantation of Capt. Taylor, on Bayou Barthol, omew, that surpasses anything of the kind we hay, ever seen. IL measured nine feet and three in. ches in circumference, and from the tip to tip of itS branches it W. S fifty feet in diameter. This tree was corner marker made by the
 surveyors when the State of Ark a1sas was sectioncd. Many pa,. ties saw it last year, when it was fall of fruit, and estimated that its yield Was not less than forty bush. els.

Care Of Horses' Feet.

Nerses in civilized lands suffer MOrc from ailments of the feet than from any other cause. The feet Of a horse are subject to many injuries, both from bad shocinS 2 aud from ill-kept roads, and it il important for owners of horses, tO study we'll how these causes of diseased feet can be avoided. But in the consideration of this quts- ton there are some. points not well understood. The "London StOckeeper' gives statement that a horse weighing sixteen hundred pounds, when drawing a load, bears a weight upon the feet of two tons, 1hc extra pressure being caused by the downward force of the act of drawing. Now. an average horses draw. power amounts only to a for ward strain af one hundred and ff- ty.seveu pounds. AS the hose is only eXerting this iOrword force by pressure upon the collar, it is clear the feet cannot press with any more force upon the ground, so that the above explanation of the cause of injury to the horses foot, is imaginary. It is not the force excrted by work at all. X wild hoese, galloping at the top of his speed, presses upon the ground with his feet more than horse moving ton in wagon upon a snad at tho rate of two miles an hour; and yet wild horses have excellent feet and are never lame. Hut they have choice of smooth path, and have no blacksmiths to cut away the frogs of their feet, and so deprive them Ofthe vcry means nature provides fot the protection of the foot. IT the roads were kept in good condition and free from loose stones, and the frog of the foot were never pared, horses would rarely suffer from foot lame
 ness. Frog pressure expands the heels, tonghens the horns, cure corus, and does much toward giv- ins a horse sound feet.

The "Swe,l- Head"

Pit.sburg Dispatch: The young ster of whom the least promise can be reasonably expected belongs to the genius ''swell-head.' He is pompous, preten,ious, sensitive, jealous, arrogant and selfish. Use- ually without any marked capacity, and constitutionally lazy. he would consider that he was doing his moth era favor by letting her work for him, and he is apt to deport him. self toward his sisters as if they were an inferior order of being and he was the eldest of the elect. This fraud, for he is fraud, may be decently hammered where he can profit by it, but he will never per. form n really disinterested action. and a heroic one is beyond the reach of his imagination. He is the most insutlcrable and odius of all drones, a self.infated opinion. atcd drone. fellow who makes up in airs what he lacks in merit. such a creature as would have furnish. cd constant target for the Ro- man satirist and commedian. An old fool of this class is tolerated on account of his age, but youth who sets out to ill such a role should be drummed out of camp. There are too many able, industri, ous and modest young men deser- wing of countenance 10 have one of these puffed.up and worthless creatures endured with any pa tience. The swcll-heaG should be ahated as the most offensive thing in the body politic.

AGRICULTURAL.

Carefully look over the young orchard trees set last fall, and firm rhc soil about them.
 livery farmer who has tried it knows that work can be accom- J,li ished in much less time fit has been carefully planned beforehand. When you go into a field to work know just what you want to do, then do it.
 If you, reader, have never tried the soiling system, do SO even on z small scale, tlsis eHmncr. Pas.- mrcs are almost always short and IIarched in July and August, but rowed corn or oats and peas sowu together. will help over the dry lime. Rye is one of the best soil ing crops.
 A sheep keeping authority says that timothy hay fed to ewes al this tire of year, when sucking, will dry up milk and cause stretch. es. Feed mostly clover hay. IL will make more milk, and will have a laxative tendency. Sheep with the stretches should have plenty of salt and have an 0 :cassion.2 .ood of wheat ban.
 Young calves are too often neg lectcd, when not brought up with ahe COW. Some farmers think il they feed them at morning and night that is sufficient They can liSe on that feeding, but net fattcn or grow much. Three or four times day are none too often; and let the last feeding come as late in the afternoon as possible,
 When the hay nov gets low, but Say is high, Gn price, farmers have a very warraAtaDlc desire to get thsi" stock to pasture just as early as possible. But the practice Is had for bsth stock and pasture. Tho youag grass lacks nutritive properties, and unless some hay is fed at morning and night, stock will not thrive. Pastures fed down from the start cannot furnish as aauch and as good feed as if allow ed to get a good start in spring.
 Sp1ing blowing is at hand, and sword of caution. Farmers arc sometimes in so great haste to get the work out of tho way, they will plow land when tits too wet It will take more than one yeal tor soil thus plowed, to recover. When the plowshare becomes smeared with mud, leave that field CT portion of it for another that is dry Better postpone your SOW. ing or planting a few days. if any portion of the field is too wet to be worked.
