Uncle Rastus Talks About Type.

load of Cracker pages on the impos-
 ing stone, wiped his streaming brow,
 famed his heated face with his rusty
 hat, and as his thoughts wandered
 out into that fertile land of philo-
 sophie speculation in which he so
 loved to dwell, his dusky face as- sumed an expression of deepest
 thoughtfulness. No sound broke the
 stiffness except the click, click, click
 of the type as they fell from the com
 positor's fingers into the composing
 stick. Finally, the old man broke
 the stiffness:

And tie halting thoughts that limped through the dark chambers of the old man $ mind cast troubled look CT his wrinkled face, and silence once more reigned supreme. - The Cracker

PRESCOTT NEVADA COUNTY ARKANSAS WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER A. 1888

'i"h you holict HUSH Htlfe gTaN' near the one with a stone? We'll, h, lies there. He had been coming here every afternoon for some time working away at that stone, and on, day l missed him. and then for sey eral days. Then the man came ou from the church that had buried tn, mother, and ordered the grave dug by her side. l asked if 1t was fol the little chap. He said it was. He had sold his papers all out one day and was hurrying along the street out this way. He didn't notice the runaway team just above the cross. ing, and-well-he was run over and didn't live but a day or two. l He had in his hand, when he was picked up, an old file, sharpened down to a point, that he did all the lettering on the stone with. They said lie seemed to be thinking only of that until he died. for le kept saying: ''l didn't get it done; but she'll know l meant to finish il won { she? I'll tell her so, for she II be wait . ing for me, and, boys, he died with those words on his lips.
 We were still for awhile; none of Us wanted to say anything.
 And now, boys, what shall we do?" said the man who had told us the story
 Do? Why. here is what I want to do, said one of the youngest men who had only himself to look after: "Get the best stone in the yard, and here $ a Y to begin it.'
 We all threw in, and if we didn't t get him the best stone, we got hun q good one. Under his name--we got 1t from the superintendent of the school, and put it on because of his father, who might some day came back-we put: He loved his moth CT; and I'll warrant you will find no better lettering in the cemetery than you will find on that stone,
 The superintendent of the Sunday school wanted Us to let him know when We put up the stone, aud we dld, and a regular delegation of them went out with us. he and some of the teachers, all of the little newsman' $ class, and good many of the other scholars; and the good man who built the church got into the city the day before. and came out with them. He had heard something of the story from the teacher; but you ought to have seen him when he looked at those stenes; the tears ran his checks, and he didn't try to stop them, either.
 He made neat little speech after we had set the stone, and he told the scholars how the little fellow had loved and worked for his mother, and how he had denied himself to put up his little stone to her memo ". He told them that the little fel- low loved the Savior, too, and tried to live to please Him,
 "Children," he said, "i would rather he that brave, loving, little Christion newsboy, and lie there with that on my tombstone, than be king of the world, and no, love and respect my mother"
 And all have to say is, l believe many great, rich one dies without leaving half as much to the world as the little pewsman did

CANADA ON FISH.
Senator DoIph of Oregon Makes e
Political Speech.

Political speech.
WASHINGTON. July 13.-Senatur Dolph,
who recently carried Oregon for reelection
by such a splendid mai oriEy for protection,
delivered forcibla speech against The rRsi-
hcation OF She fisheries treaty to-day. He
said the Republican majority in the Senate
has been threatened with free Canadian
fish II the treaty was not ratified but no
could inform Senators on the other side
that that was not tho way to secure free
Canadian flsh. 1t was the ratification
OF that treaty that would lay
the foundation for free nsh. He was mis-
taken in the temper OF the American
people II they would be driven into such a
concession. II he were to vote against
the treaty on political grounds. or
If he were TO vote for it because
las had been oharged) the President would
IT 1t were rejected execute the oct OF
March 3, 1887, so as to bring bankruptcy
upon the country, or because las has been
intimntsd upon the other side OF
the chamberl the rejection OF the
treaty would be made a pretext for
declaration OF war by Great Britain
be would be unworthy OF his position 40 @
Senator. The only AmerisAn battles with
Great Britain would be the battles
OF diplomacy. Great Britain would get by
diplomacy all that the United States were
weak enough to yield. From the treaty OF
1853 until the negotiation Of this treaty
there has been one continued diplomatic
controversy between the United States and
Great Britain. II Great Britain had ever
yielded to the just demands OF tho United
States it had been foot by foot.
Even II the rejection of the pending
treaty should be made the pretext OF war
by Great Britain. that argument was not
worthy OF consideration by the Senate.
At the cali OF even the present pro
English administration, in case Of war,
armed men would spring into the field
from every state and territory TO make
the conquest of the Canadian provinces
and a few months OF hostilitiea would
find an American privateer on every
sea where British merchant vessel was
to be found. While war was brutal and
barbarous, there were some things more TO
be dreaded than war. A nation could
emerge from costly and sanguinary war
with It's honor untarnished, Its love OF
liberty intensified and it's foundation Of
prosperity strengthened; but when II
bnsely yielded TO unjust demands, IL lost It's
own sef-respect and. the respect of othel
. nations.
The Tariff bill was the object in this
! Senate to-day Of a remonstrance, signed By
] a large number OF wool manufacturers
: against the legislation proposed in regarC
1 TO the industry. II was referred to thi

Had Been Discharged by The john
sons Eight Months ago.
Ia Justice to the other employees OF J. @.
johnson e. Son whose store on Market
st. below 80 was recently robbed, it should
be stated that Thomas s. Meteer, the youth
full burglar. was not employed there for
the last eight months. IL is not true that
the thefts had been suspected for a long
time previous 10 Meteer's detection 1t WAS
only few days ago that Mr.. johnson
learned Of the robheries He was looking
for an article which be knew had been in
the store and had not been sold. As he could
not flnd It. he began to suspect that it had
been stolen. He made an investigation
which disclosed the fact that many things
we're missing. He at once informed Chief
OF Police Swiggett, who sent description
OF the missing articles 60 the police stations
OF the several surrounding cities and among
the rect to Chester, Pa. swiggett's quiet
but decisive action resulted in the arrest OF
the thier within 70 hours after the goods
were missed by the Messrs. johnson.
Young Meteer had not been suspected,
and the Johnsons were snrprised 20 find
that he was the thief. It appears that he
made duplicate key while ia Johnson's
employment and with this he from time to
time admitted himself TO their store after
his discharge But on last Thursday night
he made his last raid. He then stole among
other things a large water cooler. which
being easily identified, led 60 his prompt
arrest. at Chester. Meter has recently
been employed by W. B. Clark & Co.
morocco manufacturers ct 9th and Walnut
sss. He stole probsbly sl01 worth from
the Josnsons. He will not steal again foI
some time to come.
