THE aRKANsaW seLoS.
How he Has Improved IN Recent
Years.


From the Arkansaw Tra,eier.
The Arkansaw Legislature is in
session. The members COMPRISE the
best looking body of representatives
that has ever assembled in the State,
insomuch that it is difficult to distin.
gnish them from other citizens, Some
cfthe Senators have read don Juan"
and many of the Lower House men
can write "a bill for an act entitled an
act. This is a great Improvement.
The Representative who, year be.
fore last. wore calico shirt and bed
tick suspenders, is now decorated with
shuck collar and plug hat. In 1879,
the Representative Of Dog Trot County,
'chawed" new Tobacco and spit through
his teeth, but now he smokes cigarettes.
He has ceased blowing his nose by
placing thumb on one nostril and
throwing himself in an attitude of great
agitation. He uses red handkerchief
Though his snort is still loud and re-
sounding, yet the innocent on-lookers
are not nearly SO much endangered.
He used to camp in the suburbs,
and broil his bacon when the.son hung
low in the west; now he eats fritters
and molasses at twenty-five cent resi-
dence. Every State tor National i'm.
provement, must look to a higher class
of legislation. That this Improvement
is taking place in Arkansaw, no one
but waytaring man and dyspeptic can
doubt The man who once moved that
the House adjourn to give the law
maFers a chance to see an Irishman
break colt, has learned to read the
signs as he walks along the streets.
Long words still puzzle him, but
such simple sentences as "Old Ken
lucky whiskey" or "All drinks tlve
cents.,' are read by him in easy, off.
handed manner. The lover of political
economy who thought that the govern
or should receive but $40 per month, Is
dead. Yes, while enjoying full posse
ion of his great intellect, the "ya]Iar'
Ijaundice came along and settled him.

tory has devoted a bloody page, two

We clip the following from T.

We clip the following from Tues
days Glo5e- Democrat;
Some time since James M. De
France, an attorney residing at Kinks
vile, Mo-, addressed letter to Judge
Brewer, asking that he make general
order in the Wabash receivershIp,
under which if a claim for the killing of
stock should not be satisfied within
sixty days, claimants could bring suit
against the receivers in the State
courts as against a solvent company.
The grievance of Mr.. De France was
that on the Quincy. Missouri and
Pacific branch of the road engineers
maliciously killed stock, the owners oi
which were unable to collect an
amount equal to the loss suffered, from
the claim agent. The matter was re.
ferred to Wells H. Blodgett, attorney
for the road, who obtained from claim
agents of the road the statement that
all just claims had been settled, and
the only ones now pending were clam:
for "double damages"
On receipt of this information Judge
Brewer notified Mr.. De France that nc
claims for "double damages" woult
be allowed by him, and that he woule
not, therefore, allow them to sue in ths
State courts. The decision is of con
siderable Importance to the Wabash
as it viii save that road a great dea
of annoying litigation.

A writer In the Home Journal,
speaking of English Schools, remarks
that the school Is divided into classes
or forms" The sixth-form boys
breakfast in their owr rooms, as they
do afterward when they enter the uni
versities. In the university they have
a steward to get the breakfast for
them, run necessary errards, keep the
room in order, and the like. In the
public schools this service is rendered
for the senior, or sixth-form boy, by a
boy in the first form, who blacks his
boots, brushes his clothes, runs his
erands, does his shopping, prepares
his breakfast of tea and toast, and
