[ Lines in memory of sister McElroy. by
sister L L Scott.

Oh! weep not for her, who from suffer-
ing and sorrow
Has fled to the cline OF content and
accord;
Whose spirit III heaven new brilliance
shall borrow;
For blessed are they who die in the
Lord.
Then why should we mourn DER the
dead or the dying,
Who meekly have bowed to the chast-
ening red;
Who from gloom to the garden of glory
are flying,
From sorrow to bliss in the city of God?
But rejoice that tie sorrows of life are
now ended,
That she never shall feel OF aflliction
the rod;
That with angels her spirit to bliss hath
assembled,
10 dwell with the Lamb in the garden
of God.
Then weep not, that she for the raptures
of heaven,
Hath fed to the cline OF content and
accord;
Mourn not that to her the white gar
ment is given,
! For blessed are they who have died
i'll the Lord.

'.c f'iffs re 5l5wing resolutions from
Simpson county hits the nail .on
the hG.d. Our Simpson county
brethren have discovered the true
objection to what now termed
"personal journalism" It is be-
cause such papers are exposing
the fraud corruption, dishonesty
and ndsmanagenlent Of those in
authorAy. If official rascality can
notlbe posed through the public
prints we would like to know
how it 6an be exposed at all.
WheMas, There has been at.
tempts made to suppress what is
now tefmod personal journalism
in its efforts 10 expose corruption
in Office,
! Resolved, That we, as an ALI
ance Organization, uphold newspa
pers that will oppose rascality, and
malfcasance in Office and direlec-
ton ~nf duty in public officials
where proof Of same is, or can bc
established. And that the iudici
airy Of the State and County be re
quested TO use all proper diligence
to bringing all such officials to

British Isles, and of the nature of whose herbage ninety mine out of a hundred farmers are utterly ignorant the insect and fungi pests, whose maintenance is often severe drain; the diseases of livestock. some of which may be prevented or greatly reduced; and iljudicious expenditure. The need of the British farmer, Prof. Freame con- cludes, is sound technical instruction in agriculture, whereby his losses would be greatly lessened and his gains correspondingly augmented.
 COMET SEEKING AND ITS PRoF1Ts.- Comet seeking is recommended by MT. w. F. Denning, the English as- tronomer, as attractive work for anna teurs with telescopes of four to ten inches in aperture. No systematic search for comets is made in Europe, and the fame and spells of comet finding are chiefly won by two inde- fatigable American observers-Barn- ard at Nashville, Tenn, and Brooks at Phelps, N. Y. Each of these astrono- mers has discovered nine comets in six years, and of the Warner prizes which have added much to the inter- est of this department of astronomy they have received over $2700. Many comets, of course, elude discovery, but the number of those detected has greatly increased during recent years, having been only fourteen in the de- cade 1927 to 1886 and forty y-nine in the decade 1877 to 1886.

A Dead Mans Beard.
Carson (Nev.) Correspondence San Francis'
 Examiner

Carson (Nev) Correspondence San Francisco
 Examiner
 Old timers will doubtless remember the death of Hal Clayton thirteen years ago. He was gambler by pro- fession, of the better class of sports, and when he died of fever was bur jed in vault in a cemetery and his body placed in costly metallic casket under glass case.
 His wife, who was frantic with grief, placed her diamonds on his shirt front. These stones were valued at eight hundred dollars. Fearful lest the gems would be taken from the vault, she placed a watch at the tomb, and it was maintained for many weeks. Clayton was a southerner, and the body was disposed of after the southern fashion, above ground.
 A few days ago George Dobbs, who has care of the cemetery, was possessed with curiosity to see Hal Clayton's tomb, and securing the keys of the vault, took look at the remains. He was astonished to find that Clayton's beard and moustache had grown un- der the glass case to such an extent that they reached below his knees. The massive beard was a rich brown color, extending in wavy masses over the body, and having perfectly fresh, healthy appearance, as it might have had on living man. The beard had been growing in this way thirteen years, and for aught anybody knows, will hold its strange p0St-n ortem vii tality.
 Clayton had a romantic life. He was engaged to a handsome young girl in the south, and left her to seek his fortune in the west. She became tired of his absence, and setting out to find him, drifted homeless and friend less from one mining camp to another, like leaf in storm. After years of this life she met her former lover, but was so changed by her wandering life that he refused to marry her.
 After his repudiation of his old sweetheart he became sick, and when lying at deaths door she came to his bedside and nursed him back to health. Filled with gratitude at her devotion, he renewed the affection of his youth and married her. She proved devoted wife, and when he died she built at large expense the vault where his remains now lie, and in which his rich brown beard has been growing all these years. Whether the diamonds are on his shirt front is not known, as the beard hides the body from the knees up.

GOVERNOR HUGHES CON
 VENTION.

When the governor of Arkansaw called an immigration convention he took timely step in the right direc- tion, and the prosperity of the state during the next few years will eclipse all records, provided the people prop erly respond to Governor Hughes summons The recent unprecedented distress and loss of life in the bleak northwest cannot fail to turn the tide of immigration to balmier lands, and the southern state which shall make the best use of the opportunity now offered, will add ten thousand thrifty husbandmen to her population ere the close of summer. The first thing need ful is harmony. Let public-spirited citizens from every section forget that there are such things as sections, and for the nonce remember the state alone. From such unity ofZeal and concerted ness of action will come forth desirable results. The second thing to be consid- cred is how best to advertise Arkan- saw-and, gentlemen. don't for a moment forget that it is lack of ad- vertising alone that stands in the way of the development of your re- sources.
 n ctY the removal of its chief office to Chi cago, has discovered that knowledge of the advantages of Arkansaw is scanty, even in this great city, while in the rural districts of the north, whence must come the kind of immigration the state most needs, nine men out of ten are harboring prejudicial miscon- captions.
 Hereafter we shall devote column or more week of TIE TRAVELLERS space to the material interest of the state of Arkansaw, and besides this we have in course of preparation special edition of exceeding one hundred thou- sand copies, devoted entirely to infor- nation concerning the state. And so while domiciled at Chicago we are en- abled to do and arc doing better work for Arkansaw than could ever have been possible had we remained in Lit tie Rock.

Suddenly Made Rich.

Correspondence Cincinnati Enquirer
 Jack Smith lives about three miles south of Owingsville, Ky. He has a wife and large family of children who, report says, have mainly sub- sisted by the charity of kind neigh bors and the few pennies contributed to the father for playing the violin whenever a crowd of people would congregate in his neighborhood.
 The story of Smiths rise in fortune is not devoid of interest. He had been a soldier in the Federal army and served all through the late war.
 There was never any doubt on the part of those who knew him that he was entitled to pension from the government, as he certainly contracted the disease which destroyed his eye- sight while in the service. But as his services had been with an Illinois reg iment and as Smith was both very poor and illiterate, he had never been able to secure the required proofs, and all his previous efforts to get pen- sion had been failures. A few days since, however, a gentleman acquainted with the circumstances advised Smith to go to Washington City and present his claims in person, and, being fur nished with the necessary fnnds, he went on to the national capital on what was generally supposed fruit less errand.
 But io! whom should Smith find but the commander of his old regiment in the person of Commissioner Black, ot the pension office. From this on Smith had but little difficulty in establish ing his identity and perfecting his claims to the pension which had been due him for years, and immediately returned to his lowly home laden with wealth far beyond his widest dreams, being allowed the sum of 4lS,97S as back pay, seventy three dollars a month for the rest of his lifb.

alley, On beCdJuT SCECcJ, UeCWoO0 Ot. Philip and Dumaine streets, for deeds of blood out-ranks the many others which exist in that locality.
 The pedestrian of the present would pass the place to-day, not knowing of its existence. Times changes have done it's work. The busy calls of trade demand mart, and so Garic's bakery on the other side, and saloon on the other of Vendetta alley, gives it somewhat different appearance than that of nearly half century ago. The alley, however, remains the same, though part of its space of damp flagging and bricked walls is utilized by an honest and industrious Italian as an oyster opening depot.
 As the exterior, so is the interior, in part altered in conformity with the industry now carried on within it's confines. The court yard with its fountain and lamp posts have given way to admit of the corrugated iron part of the bakery structure, but the ancient two-s story buildings, with it's one angular stairway, which formed three sides of the quadrangle, are still there, proving their validity of title as most substantial brick.
 The Italian occupants have mostly gone, and now negroes and French in- habit the place. The main alley lead ing to this cosmopolitan abode is scarce ten feet in width, extending the long depth of the main building. At the opening in the courtyard the angles are sharp, thus affording hid- ing place for the assassin, which, no matter how close one hugs the walls on either side, does not give a view of any one hid within the shadow of the angular recess. Thus, entering the alley was like going into a trap. Keeping in the middle was the only chance of safety, and that but small, as the alley is so narrow that an at tack meant death.
 Vendetta alley, in the long ago, was the entrance to the Marine hotel, re- sort almost wholly patronized by Ital- ians and Sicilians. It had its cafe be- heath, and gambling hell and ball. room overhead. It was here that murders without number have been committed, and uncanny reputation had it, that every brick and flag and timber were baptized in blood. The assassinations and murderous broils, however, paled before the wholesale slaughter committed there in the days of Know nottingham. The scion of one of the old Creole families was shot during an election at the polls, corner of Royal and Orleans streets. No chance was given him to battle for his life. Leaving the body of their friend writhing in the agonies of death, his friends took up the trail, which led to the Marine hotel. No quarter was asked or given, and that night score of Italian corpses, shot and poignarded in Vendetta alley and about the hotel, attested their execu- tion of the vendetta. A few years later the front portion of the building was destroyed by fire and rebuilt, and now all that remains is its history of crime.

What 1t Really Means.

Did you ever think, what it really
means to be "tramp?" No home, no
friends, no work, no chance, nobody in
the wide world to care whether you live
or die in the cutters like dog. No
heaven for such vags to inherit; no de.
cent grave to hide them out of sight; no
opportunity to be anything, and no band
stretched out to give the greeting or
the goodbye Of love. Nobody to feel an
interest in you, whether your bones ache
from cold or your skin cracks with fever.
No spot in all the world to call your own,
not even the mud wherein your wander
ing footsteps leave their feeting mark ;
no prospect ahead, and no unbroken link
10 bind you to the past. A Dame like a
curse to blight every hope of manhood,
aud reputation, like a ball and caain
on your leg, to hinder the way to any
good accomplishment. I tell you when
we sit right down to it, and figure out
what it really means 10 be tramp, |
guess we will not find it so easy to with.
hold piece of bread and cup of coffee
next time one calls at our door.
