A STARTLING STORY.

A startling story comes from the south ern part of Arkan saw. Some time ago, Colonel Jim Holmes, editor of the Cam den Bsaeon, while strolling through the woods, found large pe.rifed frog. It was so perfect that the eyes of the frog retained their original color. When the editor took the frog 10 town where he ex. hibited it, a sort of fiint-rock professor offered quite sum of money for it. but Colonel Holmes, to whom a well-pre- served curiosity is worth more than money, refused the offer. He took the frog to his office and used it for a paper weight. The other day, while the editor was busily at work on the obituary of a worthy citizen whom whisky had slain, he was startled to see the frog wink slyly and shake his head.
 "This beats anything ever sa=," said the colonel. Here. Mallory" address, ing the Hon. Sam who happened to enter the office, "this devilish rock frog is winkine at me-"
 Holmes, if l didn't know you to be strictly sober man l would swear that you had been drinking. The thing can't"
 He threw up his hands in assonish- ment. The frog ieaped from the table and struck the floor like A brick
 "Catch him!" shouted Holmes. "Shut the door,"
 "The door was closed, but the frog jumped through the window, knocking ont two panes of glass. In proof oi this. the hole in the window is daily exhibited. The escape of the frog is much regretted and Colonel Holmes is now a melancholy man.

A CONSISTENT MAN.

The free pass" question has very much agi,ated the present session of the ArkAnxaw legislature. The other day. a well known representative arose and said
 "Mr. Speaker, wish to ofier a resc- lu,ion making it misdemeanor for any member of future session of the Arkap. saw legislature to accept free pass over railroad"
 "Why not let it apply to the mem eers of the psesen, session ?" some one asked:
 @Oh, no. that won't do. We've all got passes and 1t would be impolite to return them. Sir, this pass sys,sm is wrong. It has a tendency. sir, to corrupt. but |. saves money. If they hadnt sen, me a pass don't know how 1 would have xo, here. Reckon I'd had to walk, but, str, it is our duty to remove future legislators from temptation. am in favor of all good measures, and promised my peo- pie that l would work foE the temperance casse. l am a temperance man from the word go."
 In turning suddenly, his coat tails struck the corner Of the desk. Reaching back and taking the dripping fragments of bottle from his pocket he remarked {: |" Temperance is the salvation oi man and the joy of woman, but I'd like devil. ish we'll to know who pu, that bottle h my pocket. Smells like pretty good flicker, too. Speaking about passes, why, sif, the future Legislator ough, to have every possible inducene ent to be- have himself"

A GREAT WRONG.

"Oh, yes, my son was hanged" said an Arkansaw gentleman of the old school, 4 but don'i think that :Acy treated h:s. rightly"
 Didn't they give him the benefit of the doub,7" asked some one.
 @Oh, yes, but that was not it. They hanged fellow several days before and gave him five foo. drop, bat they only gave my son four and half feet. Cheated him of half foot, you see. Such dis elimination on the part of the law is not right They lead to embarassrents which should not be countenanced by considerate people. My son was, under the law, entitled to a longer drop, bu, they curbed him up shamefuily. Yos see7 It is a sh4me-a disgrace to a man who has always done his duty. Here after, when any of my family must be hanged, I'll have it undo rssood that fair dealing must be practiced.

This law will enforce great in- convenience on men who are so busy during the week that they haven't time to attend to social matters.

In the Rise of Silas Lapham," Mir. Howeiis is proving himself to be the great novelist of this country. At times his humor is very enjoyable, and his ob- servations are always worthy so vigorous a thinker. He still has the old habit of dwelling on little things, which he seems to do for no other purpose than to make his characters life-like. The Rise cs Silas Lapham will take permanent place among Americas best books of fiction.

AMONG the lecturers from abroad, who
will address the Farmers Institute, is j.
NJ. Smith of Green Bay, who is widely
known throughout the state as very
successful cultlvator of small fruit. MIR.
Smith is an intelligent gentleman, and
has mixed brains with his work, the
result, pleasant life, model farm, and
wealth. From such men we can learn
the methods pursued which have made
life a success. We at once see the benefit
Of years of experiment and toll. In the
matter of small fruit culture our farmers
have yet much to learn. Strawberries
can be grown here and at great profit.
The yield is one which is reasonably
certain. The few who have engaged in
the business i'll this county have realized
several hundred dollars per acre culti-
waited. Excellent strawberries can be
raised and be ready for the Milwaukee
and Chicago markets when other stocks
are exhausted, thus good price is
reasonably certain. The daily boats
furnish excellent means of transportation
so that the fruit could be delivered in the
market in prime condition.
