In the Steamer.
In the steamer oh, my darling,
When the fog horns scream and blow,
Ard the footsteps of the steward
Softly come and softly go.
When the passengers are groanlDg
With deep aud sincere woe;
Will you think Of me and love me
AS you did not long ago?
In the cabin oh, my darling,
Think not bitterly of me,
Tho rushed away and left you
In the middle OF our tea.
| was seized with sudden longing
To gaze upon the deep blue sea;
It was best to leave You then dear;
Best for you and best for me.

Al STRANGE and sad occurrences
took place at RogersvslIs. Tenn, r.
Gently. From tie Gazette ~ copy
as fnllows
A young man who was dancing
accidentally let ! pistol fall from his
pocket; II became discharged; the
load penetrated the young woman's
heart, and she fell dead on the floor.
Al dispatch says the Jouag man who
dropped the pistol was "almost
crazed with grief, aud fled"
n the young man had been the
victim himself, half the sadness
would have been cured. Such was
not the case, however. and the atone
ment left is the creation Of better
sentiment, one that will crush the
habit Of carrying concealed weapons
and rectify the occasion where this
one was found.

So Say We All.
Little Rock Democrat.

Little Rock Democrat.
We hope to see both our senators
and all our representatives in con
gress take a decided stand in favor
Of opening up tie Indian territory
to white settlement. 1t should be q
distinctive democratic pe,lcy, just as
the opening up of new territories
and states has always been dis
tinctIve democratic policy, and one
that has always met the hearty APP
proval Of the great body of the Am
erican people. Let us make a great
State out of the territory comprised
by the five civilized tribes. Let us
go to work and make it such state
while Mr.. Cleveland is yet presi-
dent. We shall then have some
thing to point to. Something will
have been accomplished beneficial tc
all parties, and which, when done,
will add another bright star to the
galaxy ofgreat states. In the days Of
her greatest power the democracy
could point to her achievements IN
adding to the renown and power Of
the Union by the acquisition of new
territory and the erection Of new
commonwealth. Let history re-
peat itself.

THURSDAY. AUGUST 9. 1885.

BELOW is very sensible article
taken fIom the Sunny South. 1t
has pith and point. 1t ought to
help awaken our farmers 20 enquire
about methods and study plans.
Farming is the greatest calling on
earth and farmers ought TO be the
happiest people. They ought not,
however, to be content to plod along
in the old ruts. There is as much
room and more promise to be az
gressive on the farm than anywhere
else. We hope to see the day when
new era shall dawn upon farming
and the farmer IN this country, and
we hepe to see it soon. The new
era will dawn when the farmer re-
sorts to improved cultivation, fer
tilizing and due regard to grain and
grass and fruit crops:
Agriculture is the greatest primary
creator of wealth. Labor may pro-
duce wealth, but not create it; the
labor of the field always creates it.
The new South If triumphant, must
have been agricultural, and so it is.
A land of farms is a land OF happy
homes, the habitation of a people
contented, peaceful and prosperous.
Land well titled means Golfers well
filed. The surest treasures are
those the husbandman gathers from
natures storehouse. Agriculture
must be the basis of all true finan.
cial prosperity. This is what makes
us so hopeful of the future, so glad
for our Southern people, for South
ern agriculture is making wonder
full strides forward. No farmers to-
day are more alert, more thought
full, more progressive than those OF
the new South. Glow can we farm
better?" is the query OF the progres-
slve South. 1t is in the conversation,
in the letters, the agricultural press,
the speeches, the spirit and the lives
of the better class of southern peo-
pie, those who are to usher in the
new South. 1t is seen in better
methods, better cultivation, better
crops; it is seen in the industrial
expositions OF the past and the prep
arations for those on yet grandeI
scale in the future. The South is
alive To the needs Of q better apri-
culture, and as the old fast rccedes
and the new rushes forward to take
its place, not only cotton, but corn,
wheat, grass and farm stock shall
all be kings.
Manufacture, commerce, emigra-
ton and capital shall all follow.
Where high agriculture leads all
these gladly attend. 1t is already
seen. The newer, better is visible,
and though much of the old remains
tits lessening and receeding.
The Russellville Democrat. [volume] (Russellville, Ark.) 1875-1898, 1885-08-06

WHAT a difference in this world.
In this country down here, we grab
at silver certificates. In New York
the banks turn up their noses at
them. They don't like silver and
OF course would like to trample out
the silver certificate and the silver
too. They want to make gold the
single standard and make it very
scarce and make all import and ex-
port duties payable in gold so that
it viii. command premium. But
the common people of this country
will rise in arms against the demone-
tization of silver, you may depend
on that. They are interested to
broaden rather than contract the
basis of our currency. Remarking
on this line the Nashville American
observes:
The truth is that the New York
banks have entered the great Ger
man gold bulling scheme, which is
directly against the interests of the
people. That is why they are re
fusing silver certificates and hoard
ing the gold. or course they are
working for a suspension of gold
payments" by the government. A
Suspension of gold payments
gold being legal tender--means a
premium on gold, the miser's metal.
The way to put a stop to this is for
the government to cart over TO the
banks its .'hoarded' silver dollars
in settlement OF clearing house
balances: or, better still, 10 make
tho silver certificate legal tender
for debts.

AS A matter Of interest to those
who want to sell tobacco and cigars
on special license at circuses, fairs,
pic-nics, etc, we clip the following
from the Gazette OF the 30th, which
that paper got from the commission
ers:
"This office has by regulation au-
thorized the collector of each dis
trict to issue to any tobacco dealer
at circuses, pic-nics, excursions and
other public gatherings. q special
tax stamp so worded as to cover the
business carried on By the person
specified at any public gathering
within the particular collection dis
trict, and make transfer Of the stamp
necessary only when he goes into
another district. This privilege is
confined to tobacco dealers"

"A Nantucket steamboat captain
was onccd asked hy passengc. On
his boat how much ardent spirits he
used.
Hereplied, II never drank a tea.
spoonful Of rum, brandy, gin, cider
wine or beer, / never smoked or
snuffed, and never drank tea or
coffee
But" said the passenger, "what
do you drink with your breakfast,
aCold water" was the answer.
"And what with your dinner?'
"Cold water"
swell" said the passenger, .sbut
wha. do you take when you are
sickg
II never was sick in my life," was
the ready and glad reply.
He was wise captain. He was
accustomed to exposure in all sorts
Of bad weather, wind and storm, and
never believed in the foolish notion
that he must take drop of liquor
to keep out the cold"
Cold water was the drink of Adam
/ in paradise. Cold water was the
drink of the children of Israel in
the wilderness. II was also the
drink of Samson, and Of Daniel,
and Of John the Baptist. 1t is the
Pest drink for YOU Elk.

IT occurs to US, on careful re
view Of the whole situation, that MIR.
Blaine is taking too much interest
in state politics. He is trying to fill
a vacancy which does not exist
that of statesman at large from the
universal earth. A patient waiting
until called upon would help Mr..
Blaine neutrality-suspicious. Democrat.
Terrible wound in the house OF
his friends is, if he has any
now. He is getting in bad way
for stumps when fellows like the ed
itors of the GID. forsake him.

THE Board Of Commissioners +,

THE Board of Commissioners for
the permanent investment of the
school fund, consisting Of the Gov
ernor, Simon p. Hughes, Secretary
of State, Elias B. Moore and Supt.
of Public Instruction, w. Z. Thomp-
son, held meeting in Little Rock
onW ednesday last and decided to in.
vest the school fund ON hand In State
bonds. The amount is nearly 5000,
900. 1t is thought that when the
State makes provision for the pay
ment of her bonds that the School
fund so invested will double itself.

A DESERVED compliment comes
through the columns of the Gazette,
from a Washington correspondent,
Of the unassuming merits OF Senator
James H, Berry, as follows.
Senator James ii. Berry, of Ar
kansas, will be one of the most pop
ular men in the next senate. He is
modest, unassumiDg man, and
without the wiles of the politician OF
conceit that often attends phenom
email and brilliant career. He will
get up out of his chair. on his one
leg, to speak to small boy. He is
instinctively gentleman, and one
of those characters which tie men to
them without an effort.

Judge Caldwell, Of the United
States Circuit Court, at Helena, last
week, handed down an elaborate
opinion in the suit of Hall against the
Supreme Lodge of Knights of Honor,
giving judgement in favor of the
plaintiff for $4,000, with 1925 accru-
ed interest thereon. There were q
number OF nice points raised by the
lodge efiecting the liability of the
supreme lodge to he sued on refusal
to pay benefit, the lodge contend
ing that unless an assessment has first
been collected for that particular
death the supreme lodge cannot be
held at all. The question was elab
orately argued BY Stephenson and
Treber, attorneys for the plaintiff,
and Judge Pierce, OF Memphis, for
the order, last March, and printed
briefs were filed with the judge, who
has had the case under advisement
until last week. The decision is of
Importance to all members OF the or
