The population of Arkansas, according
to the papers, is increasing more rapidly
at present than at any time since the close
of the war. Of late there has been a
marked immigration into Arkansas from
Michigan, Wisconsin and even from Min
nesota, as result of the rapid develop
ment of its numbering industry, whilst at
the same time there has been a steady in
flow of colored immigration from the
South Atlantic states. The ratio of in
crease in population in Arkansas from
1860 to 1880 was 66.6 per cent and the
indications are that the ratio of increase
since 1880 has even exceeded that. 1t has
more stable and better government, its
taxes are less, its railroads more numer-
GUS and better, and the cost of sending its
products to market is far cheaper. Taking
1t as fact that the ratio of increase will
be maintained, Arkansas will rank high
among the states in 1890, Boosting a pop
ulation of 1,32S,9S3, emitting it to nine
congressman on the present congressional
basis, and passing California, South Caro-
lima, Maryland and Louisiana. The in
creased production in lumber. cotton,
wheat, tobacco and fruit in Arkansas
shows that it is a state of vast possible
ties,

SCIENCE is moving onward with rapid
and giant strides. Not more than ten
months ago an experiment was tried, and
said to be successful, of battery on a
moving train without any immediate con-
nection with the telegraph lines along the
road, being used successfully by tele-
graphic operator to communicate messages
all along the lines of telegraphic wires
running parallel and with the railroad.
Recently Mr.. Edison has made a practical
use of his new Cevice for receiving and
sending kilograms from railway train in
full motion. The operator on train con-
meets one wire of the Morse key with the
axle of car, and through that and the
wheel with the track, which serves as a
conductor for the incoming current of
electricity; the other wire from the kew
he connects with the tin roof of the car.
From the roof the current springs "by
induction" to an ordinary telegraph wire
running along the track in the usual man
ner, and coursing over the wire returns to
the point where the battery is situated.
thus completing the circuit. More won
derful things than this, on the same
principle, have been done by amateur
electricians. 1t has been shown that mes
sages can be sent across q river or an arm
of the sea, by electricity, without wires.
1t has been proposed even to telegraph
across the Atlantic without wires. Edi-
sons merit, of course, is in putting an
idea that has long been familiar to prac-
teal use.

CANNoN's seven wives were arrested in
Salt Lake yesterday, and required to give
bond. He seems to have been pretty well
supplied with life partners. How he
managed to keep them all rugged up in
spring hats, button shoes and new dresses,
must be mystery to homogeneous peo-
pie, who find it hard matter to supply
toggery and ribbons to one woman, let
alone half dozen.

indemnity.

THERE is a new silver mine in Nevada
named Senator Evarts." The reason
for this is supposed to be that Senator
Evarts uses so many words in expressing
an idea in comparison with ordinary men,
that it is as silver compared with gold
The old adGge that ''silence is golden,
speech is silver" may also have some
thing to do with it-any way these sug-
gestions are gratis.

II there is an international bi-metalist
union, as was proposed in the German
reichstag the other day, it will give some
new points, probably, for the discussion
of the silver question in congress, if the
matter is not definitely settled by that
time. The United States, France and
England will be invited by Germany to
participate in this union.

GLADsToSEs appointment of Mr.. Nor
ley as Chief Secretary for Ireland, may be
cheap bid for the Irish vote, by Mr..
Gladstone. Mr.. Morley's ideas on Irish
affairs are SO well known that the anti
Irish party may defeat him for re-elec-
ton, and if so, Gladstone's appointment
will do him as much good in the eyes of
the Irish for his intentions, as if he Nor
ley) we're reelected. Anyway, there seems
to be a determination by the powers that
be, to placate the Irish party and its sym
pathisers, and it may mean speedy re-
dress of Irish grievances.

The thanks of the STATESMAN are due
the Texas senators and representatives
for their courtesy in sending at all times
copies of their speeches. 1t shows that
they are not ashamed of the positions
they take on any question and are willing
to let their constituents decide whether
they take the right one or not

Some time ago the STATESMAN called
attention to the confusion arising from
having to call the name of the person
with whom you wished to talk by tele-
phone, and suggested the adoption of
numbers, used generally throughout the
United States. 1t is gratifying to see
that Mr.. A. w. Watson the efficient man
ager of the telephone system here, has at
last adopted the plan of numbers, and
henceforth individuality is sunk, as far
as the telephone is concerned, and the
owners of phones are mere numbers,
nothing more.

Who is Arthur Richmond, is question
which is destined to be as much mooted
as that of the authorship of "Breadwin-

incognito seem to be different, Arthur
wishing to remain unknown for political
reasons and the author of "Breadwinners"
because he, she or it was ashamed of his,

TIE FOX IN FICTION.

From the Gentleman's Magazine.
In fables the character of the fox is
dual. 1t is generally the deceiver, but
also on occasions the dupe. Many ami
mails on occasion fall a victim to tin
the single romance of Reincke Fuchs it
outwits and UNANIMOUSLY ruins the king lion
and pretty nearly all his courtier quadru-
peds-but every now and again the same
animals flout it, make fun of it, play tricks
on it. Eveu cocks and kids have a joke
occasionally at his expense, which is very
true to nature, for we often see the pro-
fessional sharper, the habitual traitor, ex-
posed and put to shame by simple hon
esy or innocent mother wit Betty with
her mop routs the fencing master. But
above all, the fox is always beaten when
he tries to pass off his dishonesties upon
other foxes; the rogues know each other
too well to try 20 guess where the pea is.
So when the fox falls by accident into
dyer's vat, and comes out fine blue all
over, he goes back to his kindred and tells
them that he is peacock on the sly. But
they recognize his voice and worry him
till they pull all his blue fur off, and he
dies. Stories of the same purport are
dDuuuullu anu ldlullldT u all. leu tner6
are plenty of occasions in which the fox
behaves very honorable to its friends and
appears in the light of benefactor, nota-
bly, in those tales where reynard plays the
part of Puss-in-Boots, such as Cosmo the
Quickly Enriched, and others. Moreover.
the cock is sometimes found on the most
friendly relations with the fox, who helps
it against their common enemy, the wolf.
1t is almost needless to say that many
poets condemn fox-hunting (Which
rural gentlemen call sport divine" and
perhaps superhuous to add that their rea-
sons hardly justify their condemnation
To them the sportsman appears some
thing rather less than human.
To the field he flies
Leaps every fence hut oAe then falls and dies
Like slain deer; the tumbril brings him home
unmisscd but by his dogs and by his groom.
Especially does this class of poet detest
to see women in the field.
Far be the spirit of the chase from them!
UncOmely courage, unbeseeming skill,
To spring the fence, to rein the pranc'ng steed.
They hope "such horrid joy" will never
stain the bosom of the British fair"

Et febrifuge aussi;
II est antiseptique
Encore, ct Dieu merci.

Excellent pour les reins,
Meme antiscorbutique
A nos braves mar;ns.

Et fait crever les vers,
Qui dams notre bout;que
Sc logsnt de- travers.

Un bon gigot qui fume,
Bien r6ti, cult I point,
Qu'un oil entisr psrfume,

Devant ces qualities
Et d'autres, sur mon sme!
Ces yeux noirs irritesS

Par un long ratissage,
J'en plante un grand carrS.
