FALL OF A DUDE.

A report says young man in
Memphis walked briskly to the house
of his best girl on certain night
last winter, stepped up to the front
door and vigorously rang the hell six
times and then paused for breath.
As the door opened he stepped
aside just as the fair lady was about
to invite him in. She assisted him
to shed his coat, and he hung it on
the rack with the remark; "Hang
there you $50 overcoat." Placing
his gloves on the table he continued,
"l-ie there you So Iloves;" standing
his cane in the corner, "Stay there
you $40 cane;" putting his hat on
the chair, "When l want you. be
there, you sl3 hat. Then they went
into the room and she invited him to
sit down. As he was about to com
ply, the fair being quietly took the
chair from under him, and as he
measured himself on the floor, she
remarked: "Lie there you fifty-cent
fool" A moment later the man and
his valuables had vanished, and the
lady ventured to close the outer door
which had been left open.

KEEP lT BEFORE THE CoLORED
PEOPLE.

Keep it before the colored people
that President Cleveland nominated
James G. Matthews, colored man,
to succeed Fred Douglass in a prof
table office at Washington City.
Keep it before the colored people
that Matthews was rejected by a
Republican Senate because the Re-
pub!icans aid not want a colored man
to hold office when appointed by a
Democratic President. Keep it be-
fore the colored people that Presi-
ident Cleveland has commissioned
Matthews notwithstanding his rejec-
tion by the Republicans and has de-
clared that negro shall not be de-
piived of Office on such grounds.
Keep it before the colored people
that the negroes of Albany, N. Y,
Greeted the news of Matthew'S ap-
polntmcnt by President Cleveland,
after his rejection by the Republic
an Senate, by firing a salute Of one
hundred guns. Keep it before the
colored people that the negroes of
the North have held meetings
and requested the Republican Sen
ate to confirm the nomination of
Matthews made by Cleveland. Keep
it before the colored people that they
should hold public meetings through
out the South and condemn the ac-
tion OF the Republican Senate in re-
jecting Matthews because he was
appointed by Democratic President
and petition the Republicans to con
firm the nomination of a competent,
intelligent negro. Keep it before
the colored people that on the 10th
of August Matthews entered upon
the discharge of his official duties, in
spite of his rejection by a Republi-
can Senate, because he has been ap-
pointed by Cleveland, who says a
negro Shall not be deprived of his
Office on the sole ground that he had
been nominated by a Democratic
President Memphis Appeal.

"Mr. l.. p. Berry of Crittenden
county called on the Eagle last Mon
day, and informed us that he was a
"'new Richmond in the field" for
Prosecuting attorney of this district.
He did not authorize us to state the
fact, but in the course of conpersa-
ton he made some assertions, one at
least, which in communicating to
Edrington, we do not feel that we
would be acting discourteously to-
ward any one. 1t Is this: that he
will be &c showed under" by the
people of his own county, "'not be-
cause they love him, Berry, but
that they don't love Bard, and any
body TO beat him except Mack"
This doesn't sound very well, and
we fail to take it in. We don't be-
lieve that Bard Edrington's friends
in Mississippi county would allow
him to run if they inteoded to snow
him under, nor can we believe, in
the first place, that they have such
feeling toward him, and if they
had, they are too magnanimous not
to have told him so instead of per
mitting him to run, believing that
he could count on their support.
Brutus stabbed Caesar "not because
he loved him less, but that he loved
Rome more" The case is a little
reversed here, and the people of
Mississippi county will not vote for
him because they love him less. It's
all bosh and we don't believe a
word of it.-Jonesboro Eagle.
You are mighty correct In your
deductions, Bro. Penn. The Bru-
fuses who would stab Bard are few
in number, whose implacable ami
mostly springs from the conscious
ness of guilt and the fear of prose
cution. They are the political Oc-
topuses who are trying to tasten
their tentacles upon, and control all
the offices of Mississippi county to
subserve their corrupt designs.
Mr.. Berry's announcement at this
late date, is, no doubt, the result of
a sham petition gotten up in the
lower part of the county and carried
to Crittenden county by one of Bard's
personal enemies, planned and con-
cocted after their failure to work the
Memphis citizenship racket" in
order to split or divert the large
vote of Crittenden county. In the
assertions purporting to have been
made above by Mr.. Berry, he ad-
vertises himself as the hired candi-
date" anybody to beat Bard of
clique. The friends of Mr.. Ed
rington, throughout the district, may
rely upon it tina; the democracy of
Mississippi county, which so uuani-
mously endorsed him in the county
convention on the 18th. of June will
redeem that pledge by casting a
solid democratic vote for him on the
9th. day of September; and we firm
ly believe we might also pledge him
the support of the republican party
Of Mississippi county, save a few
NAL contents, independents aud bob

Last night he arrived here. About
II O'Clock this morning tho party
went down to the ferry landing
just below the falls to make preparations
for the trip. The shoes are fsh-shaped,
with broad bottom. They are thirty
two inches long, eight inches wide, and
nine high. Each shoe weighs thirty
pounds, and when in use they sit four
inches in the water. They are made Of

Lincoln as Postmaster.
December Century,

In the spring of this yesr, 1888, he was
appointed Postmaster of New Salem,
and held the Office for three years. It's
emOluments were slender, and its duties
light, but there was in all probability no
citizen of the village who could have
made SO much of it as he. The mails
were so scanty that he was aid to carry
them in his hat, and he also reported to
have read every newspaper that arrived;
it is altogether likely that this formed
the leading inducement to his taking the
office. His incumbency lasted until
New Salem ceased to be popuIously
enough for a post station and the mail
went by to Petersburg. DR.. Holland re-
lates a sequel to this official experience
which illustrates the quaint honesty of
the man. Several years later, when he
was practicing lawyer, an agent of the
POstoffice Department called upOu him
and asked for balance due from the
New Salem Office, some ST.. Lincoln
arose, and opening a little trunk which
Jay in corner of the room, took from
it a cotton rag in which was tied up the
exact sum required. II never use any
mans money but my own,' he quietly re-
marked. When we consider the pinch
ing poverty in which these years had
been passed, we may appreciate the self.
denial which had kept him from making
even a temporary use of this little sum OF
money.

Calm and Candid.
Detroit Free Press .

When Gen. Sherman entered GOldsboro,
n. c., after his march to the sea, on his
way to join Grant before Richmond,
there dwelt in the town a certain Col. X,
who was one of the most rabid secession
lists that could be found. His house was
situated in the north end of the city, and
at the end of street, so that anyone
coming into the town from the south
would see his residence as soon as he
should enter the south end of this same
street. When Gen. Sherman and staff
came into the town they came up this
street and stopped just in front of Col.
KS. residence; tie Colonel, who was out
on the porch, fgreeted them and on officer,
saluting him, asked what his sentiments
were in regard to the war.
II am a strong union man." answered
the colonel, with a dry smile.
''Ah, indeed" said the officer, rather sar-
castically, 'and how long have you been a
union MANI"
II have been union man," said the
colonel slowly and as if considering his
words, sever since | saw you and your
staff come into the end of that street,
about fifteen minutes ago."
The candor in the colonels reply pleas
ed Gen. Sherman, and he ordered guard
placed around Col. KS property, and
during the entire stay of the army in
GoIdsboro, not \ thing was molested in or
around his premises, although great
many of the fine private as well as public
buildings were burned and pillaged.

Why Girls Don't Marry.
Boston Har,Id.

A prominent woman physician of Bos-
ton has freely expressed her conviction
that the great superiority in culture of SO
many of the young girls of to-day over
that of the average men who go early into
business exerts one very bad effect, name
ly, that these young girls do not want to
marry such men. There is no doubt a
great deal of truth in the statement. In
fact, in other departments it has always
been noticed that one of the standing i'll
effects of the culture, say, of flowers, has
been to make its votary prefer a
tea rose to a head of cabbage; or,
of music to prefer a harmonious orches-
ira TO a discordant street band; or, of re-
ligion, to prefer piety to profanity. Now.
there is no reason why the rale should
not work equally well in the case of mar
riage. The maxim that "any husband is
better than no husband" had once q
great deal of truth in it, for the condi-
ton of the unmarried woman was in by
gone days forlorn one. She could nc
more help growing sour than milk in 6
thunder storm. Any and every woman
with the most insignificant sprig of {
husband could turn up her nose at hel
and embOdy weight of public opinion
in her contemptuous attitude that few
single unfOl Inmates could have the dig
nifty and eeIf-respect to stand up against
To-day, however, the scales tip the Other
way with a vengeance.

Children, as has often been remarked,

Mabel.
''An right" responded Mary and Susie,
''what'u we do first?"
"Weu play calling on each other. But
[ guess one of us will have to be the lit
tie girl. I'll be Mrs. Brown, and Mary,
you'll be my little girl. Then, Susie,
you'll be, Mrs. Jones, and you'll call on
me-"
After Mary's scruples concerning the
indignity thrust upon her in having to
play little girl had been satisfied by the
promise that positions would be reversed
and each be little girl turn about. Susie
inquired
"But what will we do when I call?"
''Why, we'n act just like grown-up la
dies do" said Mabel. when you come
in, Susie, we'll be awful glad to see each
other, and we'll kiss, and then we'll sit
down. Then you'll look at Mary and say,
Little pitchers have big ears and then
I'll say: Mary, dear, run down to the
kitchen and see if there isn't something
you can do to help Jane"
