IS THE days of President Johnson,
when Congress was regularly passing
bills oyer Andy's veto, the newspaper
paragrapher would announce that such
bill has passed both houses, and now
only awaits the Presidents veto to be-
come law!" In Utah, TO- day the express
sion is: The bill has passed both
houses, and row only awaits the Gov.

ROYAL NONSENSE.

The American people. with their rush
ing. reckless, matter-of-fact practices
and ideas in regard to government Can
not repress sneer of disgust at the al
legged reason for keeping Parnell out Of
the new British Cabinet. It is said that
in selecting his lieutenants after having
been reluctantly summoned by TIL
Queen. Gladstone designated Parnel 70
position in the administration, th'
idea being that his appointment would
furnish a solutlo of the vexed Irish
question. Whether or not the selection
! was w!se would be matter for argument.
With many Il would be regarded ar
disastrous, for while Parnen is the 'un-
crowned King" of Ireland, in England
he is regarded as little better than a
dynamiter. The English thoroughly
despise the man. who il cannot be denied
is responsible for much of the trouble
which exists in Ireland. However, it
might have proven wise etate polio,
to put him into the Cabinet. and while
closing his mouth asian agitator, qrietet

But he was not given the place, and
WHY Because the Queen would refuse
10 allow him to kiss her hand, which
formula is always followed when th'
member Is inducted into the Cabine +,
and is handed by the Queen his seal OF
Office. The absurdity of the spectacle
is grotesque indeed to democratic Amer
leans, and it becomes almost Grimm
ally ridiculous when considered IN the
light of reason and what might be the
consequences of adhering to the custom
The English nstion is now passing
through the sravest crisis that
has threatened til for many
wears, and the crisis may be
prolonged for years If it does not
result in civil war because weak and
really powerless old woman will not
forego the insignificant formality of
permitting a subject to kiss her hand.
and yet will not allow one who might
save the nation the expenditure of
much money and the spilling of much
blood to perform the harmless cere-
mony.
One of these days the doctrine of the
divine authority conferred on the
monarch to rule will certainly pass
away from allintelligent peoples. That
it has survived SO long in nation con-
ceded to be the most enlightened, the
best educated and the wisest on earth,
is surprising. When statesman IKE

plans of government affecting the des-
tiny of the mighty empire, because
Queen would not let her hand be kissed,
it seems high time for another advance
by the people upon silly royal preroga-

Sermons by the Way Side.
w. T. Box

AS I was riding along the high. way which leads from the east to. ward the city of Syracuse, l saw boulders placed at the side of the road at intervals, at perhaps one. quai ter of mile, and on them some philanthroplc hand had painted such words as these: Come to Jesus just now.r and others of similar character. This novel method of preaching struck me as very impressive, Who can tell what influence for good may flow from these speaking stones? l imagine some sin.sick, storm tossed soul, in this world of ours. may glance at those words in pass ing by and take new hope, or they may check the profane oath before it is uttered and lead the thoughts upward to purer life. Eternity alone can reveal the good winch such influences, simple in them selves, are producing, for truly we live mot unto onrsclves."- Christian at Work.

TEMPERANCE COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY REV, T. ". HAYES.
Whisky the Cause of Crime.

1 Extract from sermon delivered 1 hv Rev. Rankin, at Chattanooga, l Tenn: "I have taken it on myself and have made thorough exami- nation of the records of the May or's Court touching this matter from August 1, 1885, to August l, 1886. I find that during that time there were brought before his tribu- nal and convicted 1,219 criminals. Their fines and and costs aggrega- ted S39.031. More than half of this amount was paid at fifty cents a day at hard labor on the chain gang. Now, by actual estimate.
 1,072 OF THESE 1,219 CRIMINALS were arrested aud convicted, either directly or indirectly, on account of hquor-shop influence. And this disgraceful list does not in clude any of the criminals convict ed in our justices and circuit courts.
 What tale of crime 1t unfolds! 1t Is enough to cover with shame the intelligent face of every peace. able citizen of Chattanooga. Just to think that for the ignoble sum of S11, ,OO0 we permit 52 licensed mannfactories of crime to burden and blacken the records and the character of this thriving city with more than a thousand public crim- Inals every yearl And these con. victed offenders against the peace and order of our society are but | the surface manifestations of the crimes that lie hidden in the unex. plored regions of our society, are but the surface manifestations oi the crimes that lie hidden in the meXplored regions of our social life. If all of the undergrowth meanness caused by these bar. rooms were brought to light, we would need a referee court to aid our Mayor in keeping his docket clear.
 But this criminal record, while it is bad enough, is only a minor branch of this ugly grog shop busi ness. It only gives us a view of some of the milder types of wrong. doing, such as public drunkenness profanity, and disorderly conduct It is true that these things are ex- ceedingly injurious in their in huence on the moral and business life of our people; but when we leave these and plunge into

A Voice From Jonesboro.

The election is over, the vote all counted, and the result is glorious Thank God, prohibition has gained grand victory in Graf ghead coun. ty, and whiskey is voted out of the county by a majority of 43l votes, Jonesboro township cast 900 votes, and a majority of S7 against license, Clay, Green and Cross counties have also voted against license. Our whiskey county judge was de- feated by large majority. and Brother J. H. Edwards was elect ed in his place. Rev. J. NJ. Raines, a Baptist minister and a staunch prohibitionist, has been elected by large majority to the legislature. Truly the Lord, in answer to pray CT and earnest work, has done great things for us, whereof we are glad.-By s. l.. Cochran in Arkansas Methodist.

AGRICULTURAL.
Small Breeds of Hogs.

The following which we clip from the Southern Planter, is good reading for our Arkansas farmers. It says:
 ''Those who produce pork for shipment prefer hog that can be made to weigh over 300 pounds when eighteen months old. But whether the large hog is more pro- titable than the small cue depends upon circumstances. Under cer- tian conditions the large hog will give the best returns, out the smaller animals are the most pro- fitable when quick growth is more essential than heavy weight. In the Southern states, where the winters are mild, and where any length of time may be allowed for growth (the swine having the privileges of the mast in the for est), only single cross of a large breed is desired, as it is not profit. able there to destroy the activity of the natives, they costing but a small sum until ready for the fat tening pen; but in the North the difference between the large and small breeds depends upon the mode of wintering the stock. If the accommodations are such that the hogs will not be subjected to severe cold, they may be carried over winter, with profit, and breeds for that purpose are kept that are hardy and attain large sizes, such as the Poland. China and Chester White, accord. ing to the preference for color. Where hogis required that comes in about April, to be slaughtered at Christmas, the small breeds are more suitable, and if a cross of a small Yorkshire and a large com mon SOW be made it will be an ad- mirable one, as the pure breeds are finely bred, and do best for farm purposes when crossed with good natives. There is something to be considered in quality also. The Suffolks are easily fatted, and, though small, have large propor- tion of fat, while the Essex and Berkshire give Il greater propor- tion of lean, yet the meat depends on the food, for any kind of hog will fatten to excess if well treated and fed almost wholly on corn,

Rural and Workman We have frequently adyerted the fact of the necessity for b begining the feeding of our hops designed for pork, ear ly Tn tue autumn. An exchange seconds our suggestion with some scientific facts which are well worth producing. It says.
 "The proper time to fattten hogs Is In the fall, not the winter. The aim should be to have them ready for slaughter as soon as the first good cold spell comes. A hushel of corn when the themome. teris 60 :, will increase the weight as much as two bushels when the thermometer is 30o or lower. The reason is obvious. The tempera- ture of the animal below must be maintained at the normal point of 9S .. The food of the animal is his fuel also"

Died.

At the residence Of her tather m Prescott. Ark. August p, 1886, Miss Ida Cooley
 Miss Ida was born in Scottsville, Clairhourn Parish, La. Was con veried al her brother's-in-IaW dur ing family prayer in 1874 or ,; was baptized into the fellowship of nopeuell church, Union Co.,, Ark, by Rev. J. NJ. Hart; moved with her fathers family to Prescott. and ttached herself to the Prescott church in 1880, where she lived a useful, active and consistent Chris tian up to her death, which occur red as above stated.
 For twenty-five long and weary days she suffered with what her physicians pronounced typhoid te- yer. Everything was done that medical skill, willing hands and iONing ucarls couiu "o Vo "'N'' what proved 10 be the inevitable result; but all to no purpose. The death angel had marked her as his victim. and she must go, to be, as she said just short time before her death, with Jesus and her pre- cious mother and sisters who have gone before. She was conscious till the very moment of dissolution rendered her otherwise. She ex- pressed desire to live, in order to be useful; but was perfectly resigned to the will of the Savior. Like Paul, she was ready to depart ard be with Christ, AS the death tide swept over her, she took leave of the loved ones about her and calmly passed over the dark river of Jordan to be with the loved ones gone before. Thus a dutitul daugh- ter, a precious sister, d gentle and forbearing christian, a devoted Sabbath school and church work CT, has, in the very prime of her womanhood, and in the midst of great usefulness, been called to her reward in the paradise of the saved.
 Her funeral was conducted by the writer in the Baptist meeting house at Prescott, where large congregation of loving friends and relatives assembled 10 the last tribute of respect to one whom no one knew but to love and respect. From the church house long pro- cession followed her remains to the town cemetery, where they were tenderly and affectionately inferred, to await the morning of resurrection, from which, as from a bridal chamber, she shall at that time come forth in the royal attire of the redeemed to take part in the coronation of our precious and triumphant Savior.
 Miss Ida was the youngest of seven children, and was deserved ly the ''pet" of the entire family, and also the favOrite in society generally. She had returned from college only short time before her death, where she had made great proficiency in her studies; and where she would have gradu- ated in another term had she re- turned as she desired to do. She leaves an aged father, devoted step-mOther, two brothers and three sisters, who

Kindness to Animals.

Here is one of those kindly sug- gestions, which always get very near to US. A fact which we are desirous ofimpressing upon every person who has anything to do with animals. We make the ex- tract from the columns of the Farm and Home, Fredericksburg, Va, It says:
 "Every one should know that kindly treated animals will do their best for their owners. A curious case happened recently, which may be given as an exam. pie A noted trotter was driven in race by a driver. The horse was evidently dissatisfied and lost two heats. The old driver knew the horse could do better and beg ged the owner to be permitted to drive him. His entreaties pre- vailed, and when he mounted the sulky the horse whined with pleas ure, and won the next three heats with ease, making such a record that the owner had an offer of fiji. teen thousand dollars for the an nal. It is always thus. A farm horse kindly treated will do more work than one which is not attach ed to the owner or driver. A COW will lose milk when attended by Il stranger or dlssagreeable person, and one that is petted and treated with gentleness will never exhibit the common fractiouness of kick. ing, or holding up the milk, This is true of allfarm animals, who re. turn kindness with affection and generosity, aud ahundantly repay the consideration shown them ny owners. Every boy, especially every farmers boy, should learn to treat all animals with kindness.

RuSbandmaR, an excellent agr;cul-
tural journal published in EImira,

4 ready response on the northwest
frontier Of the United States. The
HusbunRman Of Sept 18th says:

Last year English sailors, inspired by
the old confidence. brought their most
famous yacht, the Genesta, to enter
series of races for the cup. and a
Boston vessel. the Puritan, accepted
the challenge. The races were fairly
sailed, and the cup remained with the
victors who had held it continually
thirty-s years. This was the sixth
effort to recover prize that repre-
sented the highest skill in sailing
and the aeetest yachts This year
the challenge was renewed and ac
cepted by the Maytiower, another
Boston vessel. Her competitor was
the English yacht Galatea. The
races were sailed last week and again
