 "The machine politicians want to give WheatIey township the county judge and representative; but the woul6-be victims did not bite. - New Era.
 That is a mistake, brother. They are going to run man from Prairie for judge, and perhaps s man from Madison for representative. We have heard s. E. Sweets name mentioned for the latter place. and these feliobs will bite, and don't you forget It. If Sweet don't get to represent them in the legislature, he Is now representing them trying to bribe honest democrats 10 ac- cept an office, which he guarantees them If they will desert their party. He talked to John I. Jones three solid hours, trying to induce him 10 run on their ticket for treasurer, and when Mir. Jones promptly and hatly refused, proceeded 10 Dan Wylds, and tried the same scheme on him; and we suppose he tired it elsewhere, as Mr. Wylds gave h;m a similar answer No, broth CT, you have got things mixed. The irue-blue democrats, who want 10 harmonize the party, and who are willing to give way 10 any req sonable measures, think that the western portion of the county, and if possible other portions: should be represented among our standard bearers, and with this intention, a numb Der of his friends here, and q host from Wbeatley township, so- licited W.

EAaiorses Him.

We give the following, from a subscriber, for what it IS woyth:
 ED. TIMEs: I am informed the announcement of Hon. John M. Parrott for the office of county and probate judge, will appear m this issue of your paper. l congratu- late the party, and especially the people of St. Francis county. upon their good fortune in having such a man to seek the most important office in their gift Judge Parrott, if elected, will bring to the dis charge of the duties a ripe experi- cnee, such as few men have ever possessed. His integrity and mor- al worth, as well as his fitness for the most important duties of the citizen are we'll atlested, by the fact that when this county was overwhelmingly democratic and he belonged to the whig party, he was never defeated in the many races he run before the people. When the reconstruction era ended and the people once again assumed the rights and duties of freemen, Judge Parrott was among the honorcd number who were called by their people to frame q constitution that would perpetuate their freedom and he an insuperable barrier to future invasions of their rights, whichever way political power fell. 1 believe that, as m great extrem- ities the people select their best men 10 take the lead, so in Sep. tember old St. Francis will cast the judicial ermine upon Judge Par rot. Let everybody vote for him.

Ninety-five Miles an Hour.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
An application has been fled by a
New York civil engineer for a patent
for d locomotive and tender designed
for making faster time than has ever
been made in this or any country.
The boiler is rectangular 10 shape,
having a large and permanent area
of eE apOrating surface, supported by
a great extent of heating surface, the
pressure to be carried being 2l0
pounds per inch, which is but one
third Of the bursting pressure at it's
weakest points. The cylinders are in
the rear Of instead Of between the
truck wheels, and the fire box is sup
ported between the center Of gravity
of driving wheels. All the cOmbina-
ton of parts are in exact harmony,
and it is intended to easily make the
time of sixty miles an hour with ten
coaches, and can, without violent
strain, be brought to ninety-fve
miles per hour with the same load.
/ This gain in performance over the
/ present machine is obtained by q
mathematical construction with ref
erence to the distance between rail
centers upon which it is supported,
and is the first application made
which has embraced and specified
every portion of a locomotive and
/ tender constructed automatically
with reference to the limits within
/ which they must be confined and
t supported. As a result of exact pro
portion with reference to such base,
( the cost Of maintenance VIII begreat-
/ " below the general average of pres
/ emit constructions.

4 HONE EieW of La Negro.

Frederick Douglas believes that
the condition of the Negro is worse
than it was just after the war He
pictures the old Shareholders as de
lighted with the new order Of things,
because he can make more out of the
Negro by the truck system than he
could from the slaves. If by the
truck system Douglas means the ten
ant system, he might have said that
many white farmers were also worse
off than twenty years ago. Hon l..
@. S. Lamar recently declares in an
terview that agricultural progress
had not kept pace with the growth
Of'the South in other respects. The
credit system, the high rate Of inter
est, the scarcity of easy loans have
operated against the tiller Of the
soil, and these disadvantages arenot
confined to the owner or to the ten
ant, to white or to black. The
''truck" and credit systems have
ruined them both, and the country
store has become a custOm-hOuse to
levy tribute upon the planters. jus
tice Lamar, himself a Mississippi
farmer, says OF the cOlOred people:
"mOst Of the old Negroes Ofthe South
triOus, and many of them are
thrifty and many of them are rich,
but the young fellows who were chill
dren in the war are too often lazy,
lawless and independent, hanging
around and living as theycan. There
is a vast army Of these shItless
idlers, who arenOt essentially vicious,
except that Incidence is the mother
of crime" Frederick Douglas is cor
rect when he intimates that the slave
holder is relieved of an immense re-
sponsibility. Unsatisfactory as the
cropper sometimes is, we would not
have him again as a slave, but
this is not because we wish to make
money out of him. Thousands o.
farmers are to-day advancing 70
cOlOred tenants at their Own risk and
peril.-Augusta (Ga) Chronicle.

AQueer Monopoly.
New York Graphic.

From the New York Graphic
There are thousands Of chairs in
HYDE Park, London, which can be
hired for q penny each, and their his
tory is an interesting one. 1t dates
back to shortly after the battle Of
Waterloo, when an English general
who had done good service found
himself reduced to extreme poverty
The Government Oftbat day acknOwl-
edged his past services by granting
him and his heirs forever the right of
letting on hire chairs at Hyde Park.
The general gathered his resources
and started with a hundred chairs.
There are now over $4,000 chairs,
the income from them amounting to
over $4,000 a year.

quite Mortified. 81 hope she wasn't
much frightened?''
Frightened! repeated Dick an
/ griiy. "What the deuce should she
/ be frightened at? Do You think she
never saw powder and paint and
/ dress-imprOvers and-and-the rest
before? She doesn't use them herself,
/ of course, but do you suppose she
never saw or heard ofthem ti1now?''
But my box didn't contain DOW
der and dress-imprOvers, replied Mr..
SHELTON, aetOnished.
'Didn Z it, thought"
NO, really, sir, it didn't contain
/ anything of the kind
What did it contain, then?'' said
Dick, ironically.
1T contained-'' and here Mr..
SHELTON dropped his voice and Whis-
/ pered something to Dick.
"a What?" demanded Dick.
Mr.. Shelton again whispered some
thing in Dick S ear.
Heaven fOrbid?'' exclaimed Dick:
Il hope she hasn't come on that vet,
/ or there ii be the deuce to pay. Look
here, SHELTON, or j ones, or whatever
your cOnfOunded name is-are YOU
hUmbugging me, or are you nOt?"
Pm mott swear I'm not, Mr.. Pep
percOrn, . protested SHELTON.
'tWel, then, come with me to the
Norfolk and see the box that is there.
If it's not yours both you and 1 have
been VictimiZed by that rascal Crabb,
and you'll know what to do"
And the two men set off for Nor
folk with Mrs. Dicks box in the fly
beside them. Arrived there, Mrs.
Dick received the box with delight,
and Mr. Shelton vehemently pro-
tested that the box she had was not
his
Mine, he said, "must have been
taken by mistake for yours. 1 swear
L never saw that one before"
''Wen, " put in Mrs. Dick, we've got
ours all right, anyway. If this gen
tleman wants this, give him Mr..
Crabb's address, and let him go
there"
Dick rather grumbled at this pro-
pOsal He was not altogether con-
WINGED that Mr.. Shelton was so limo
cent as he pretended to be; but still
it seemed the only course open, and
so. after some little discussion. it was
agreed that Dick should give Mr..
SHELTON Crabb's address, that Mr..
SHELTON should return to London at
once, and that when he had seen
Crabb he should let Dick know the
result.
Three hours later a telegram
reached Dick 1t was from Mr.. Skel-
ton and came from London. 1t ran
as follows:
''Have just recovered my box.
Went to Crabb's lodgings, and
thought at first I'd found two sub
jects instead of one. CraOb, ON open
ing the box had come upon it and
the shock made him unconscious.
Took me nearly an hour to bring
him round He is still aWfulIy bad. .
What does he mean by it, dear?''
asked Emma, on reading the teIe-
gram.
ooh, nothing love" replied Dick.
cts all right.
by GeOrge!" thought Dick to him
self. What a narrow escape! If
she had only got that medical stu
dents box, with a dead mans head
and shoulders in, what an awful
thing it would have been. Crabb's
fainting would have been nothing to
it. Still, Mr. Crabb has been nicely
caught this time. He won't be so
fond Of playing spiteful tricks in the
future. I should liked to have seen
him open Skeletons box. Chicago

Not MOrmOnism But CeIibacy to Be
Feared.

Bishop spaulding.
Of MOrmOnism as a national dam
ger, much that is superficial and idle
is spoken and written. The Nor
mons are sober, Industrious and
thrifty ,and their acceptance of pOlyg-
amy is our only grievance against
them. But pOlygamy, beyond all
question, we need not fear. Even
among the MOrmOns it exists in com
paratively few instances. 1t is a bar
barOus institution, and is found only
where women are held in the bondage
of ignorance and servitude No man
who has regard for his peace or com
fort would think Of having two wives
in a country in which women nave
become so intelligent and inependent
that the only sure way Of living hap
PLY with even one is to be humble
and Obedient. Sensuality with us, we
may be reasonably certain, viii not
take the form Of NERVOUSNESS. The
problem which will present itself for
solution is not whether a man shall
have one or several wives, but Wheth-
er he shall have one or none at all,
whatever the future of MOrmonism
may be, here in the United States it
must cease to be pOlygamous.

why is it they make such wonderful
hats at Panama and nowhere else?" asked
the reporter.
'On the contrary" replied the halter,
"these wonderful hats are not made at
Panama and are made somewhere else
No Panama hat was ever made at Panama.
They came to be called by that name be-
cause Panama merchants first made them
known outside of local markets. The best
Panama hats are made in Gusyaquil They
are woven by native women out of the
fiber Of the pita palm This fiber is gen.
orally spun or stripped by these skillful
artists into slender threads ten and fifteen
feet long, although it can be stripped into
almost any length with care. The braid
ing or weaving is all done with the fiber
held below the surface of water. which
keeps it pliable and preserves the pecu-
iarities Of its texture An ordinary PAN
anna hat, made Of several pieces Of fiber,
costs S. at first hands in Guayaquil.
That seems a triae high. but it takes

kind. and it will wear forever Finer
grades require more delicate threads and
longer time in making.-New York Even
