reluctant confession LnAC Sne produces
the finest fruits known to the civilized
nations of the earth.
Her recently discovered mines of
anthony, galena, lead, silver and gold,
in the county of Garland, and west
ward and northward two counties
each way, give every promise exciting
the wonder of the world. Already
there is a great rush of settlers, pros
pectors, and investors to this section,
and mines are being worked and mills
and smelters erected. Prominent min
ing experts declare that we have here
the largest and richest ore bodies Of
gold and silver known to the world
and excelling the great Comstock OF
Nevada, or the bonanZas of Colorado
or California.
No journal in the state has been
more conservative in it's views or more
careful in its statements regarding the
resources and developments of Ar
kansas, than the Forest and Farm.
While we have faithfully labored to
build up the state by inducing class
of immigration that would benefit
themselves and the community where
they might settle, by utilizing our
timbers, minerals, raising stock, and
general farming, we have been very
careful never to make any statement
that could not be verified. 1t may
seem strange to our northern readers
when we speak of growing three
crops on the same land in one season,
or, of over one hundred bushels of oats
per acre, and seventy one bushels of
wheat on the same amount of land :;
that over 81 900 has been realized
from an acre of strawberries, and it
was not uncommon to receive $500
per acre from peach orchards not
more than four years years old. But
every statement of this kind made in
this paper is true, and we hold our
selves ready at all times to verify
them. We have attracted thousands
to this state and they were not disap-
pointed. They improved the oppor-
tunities offered, wrote for their
friends, who also came, and to-day
Arkansas is one of the most prosper
Gus states in the Union. Every part
of it is being opened up by the con-
struction of railroads built up by
foreign capital, and not by bonding
our cities, towns and counties, leaving
a load of debt for the poor settler to
pay in after years. Our timbers are
being used in the various arts that de-
mand them, and our minerals are now
attracting the attention of capitalists
from all parts Of the Union. Manu-
facturers are seeking locations, and
real estate is advancing in all our
cities and towns, but except in few
localities agricultural lands have not
been equally effected in price. This
latter state OF things will not long
continue, from present indications.
Our advice to all who think of COM
ing to Arkansas is to do so without
delay, and investigate for yourselves.
If not convenient, send to to Thomas
Essex, Land Commissioner, and he
will send you printed matter that
will help you to acquire some knowl-
edge of our progressive state.-Forest

 One of the encouraging signs of the times in the South is the free speaking concerning the negro problem which is now going on there. One of the most notable of recent ut- terances of this kind-is that of Rev. Dr. J. L. M. Curry before the Georgia legislature. He charaeterterized the negro problem as one before which he stood aghast q don't be- lieve," said he, sthat civilization ever en- countered one of greater magnitude. It casts dark shadow over your churches, your government of the future. It is great prob lem which will tax your energies" His solu- tion was the removal of ignorance. Any plan which sought to keep the blacks in subjec- tion through ignorance and poverty WAS not a remedy for the situation. (Which is bet ter, to brutalize and pauperize, or to human ize, civilize and Christianize9" Dr. Curry said that he would not contest the proposi- tion that this should be white mans gov- ernment, but he begged Georgians to remem- Der that the negroes (and he was glad of it) had friends at the North who were befriend- ing them. But this would not settle the question for the people of Georgia. They must themselves become the friends and benefactors of the negroes if they would avoid possible race conflict. It was better to meet the thing half way. Regarding the color question, Dr. Garry spoke in refresh- ingly plain manner, as follows:
 Now there is nothing per SC in white skin unless behind that skin lie the hereditary ex- periences of centuries of good government. I know that the negro of Africa has no in- vention, no discovery, no law, no literature, no government, no civilization. Why2 If you put the Caucasian under the same en- vironment, and keep him there ten or twenty centuries, there will be no invention, no science, nor discovery, nor history, nor civil zation among the Caucasians. Your ances- tors and mine 8 few years ago were canni- bals and pagans. They have become what they are not by virtue of white skin, but by improving government and good laws. You let the negro children get an education where yours do not, let the negro be superior to you in culture and property, and you will have black mans government. Improve ment, cultivation, education is the secret, the condition, and guarantee of race su- premacy. I will aston!sh you perhaps by saying that if the negro develops and be- comes in culture, property and civilization superior to the white man, the negro ought to rule. You see to it that he does not be- come so. The responsibility Is with you. This plain language, but it won't hurt the Georgians any. It will do them good if they will receive 1t fairly.

The Death of a Cardinal.

From the Memoirs of the Comte de Brienne l
 I was walking in the new apartment of his palace when I heard, owing to the noise which his slippers made, that Cardinal Maza- rin was coming. I hid myself behind the tapestry and I heard him speaking aloud. "Ahl must leave all this," and he halted at every step, he was so weak, looking on one side, then on the other. Glsncing at the articles which struck him most, he ex- claimed, signing from the bottom of his heart, ''I must leave all this. I had so much trouble in acquiring these things. and I leave them with regret. I shall not see them any more where I am going to-" sighed heavi- ly, so that he heard me. "Who is thereP' he said. ''It is l." I replied; ''I was wait ing here to speak to your eminence of an important letter." 'FCome," he said, in 8 piteous tone-he was only attired in furred dressing gown with 8 nightcap on his head "Give me your hand; I am very weak" He would not let me speak to him on business. "I am no longer in fit state," said he; "speak to the king and do what he says. Look at this beautiful Correggio, this Venus by Titan, and this ineomparable picture of the flood by Caraccio. 1 must leave all these. Adieu, my dear pictures, which I so much moneyI' Four or five days before his death the cardinal had him- self shaved and his mustaohe curled. He was so thoroughly smothered with paint that he never looked so white and so pink. He then took turn in the garden in his sedan chair, whereby he accelerated his death which drew from the courtiers the heartless remark that Ca hypocrite he lived and hypocrite he died"

From the National Review.

Strutt, who is trustworthy authority on costumes, says, C'English Dresses:'O f'To- ward the conclusion of the fourteenth centu- ry women were pleased with the appearance of long waist, and in order to produce that effect they invented strange disguisement called corse or corset" The word corset appears at least as early as the thirteenth century, and in sumptuary laws made early in the reign of Edward ". wrought corsets and corsets worked with gold are restricted to certain classes of the female nobility. They appear, however, to have been worn by both sexes, and were usually quilted, having slips of whalebone between the quilting. Their breadth, together with the mode of fastening them by iacing, permit ted of their being drawn very tight, and thus produced the slim waists referred to by various writers of the period. "A French morslist Q who wrote during the reign of Henry VI. says: By detestable vanity la dies of rank now cause their robes to be made so tight in the waist that they can scarcely respire in them, and so often suffer great pain by it in order to make their bod ies smaIl'" ffTn the time of Queen Eliza beth,'' says Strut, ''the bodice was also used by men, though this custom I believe was never generally adopted" Pictures of some of the remarkable men of that time are represented with slim waists, which are presumably the result of such tight facing. From that period up to our own day corsets have been worn by women of England and of most other civilized nations. They com bins in one the mammillare, the strophion, the zoster, the zona, 8c., of the ladies of an cient Greece and Rome. That the wearing of corsets is gain to many women is evil dent enough from the fact that they are worn under conditions in which the wearers are regardless of mere appearance. For in- stance, we nay cite the working peasant wo- man, unmarried as well as married, of France, Switzerland, the Tyrol, Austria and Hungary, &c.,, who wear stays during the performance of very laborious work, yet who, one could not suppose, would do this if their stays interfered with their comfort or movements. Another example of the same fact is illustrated by the very poor working women of our own nation, who, when obliged to sell their clothes, or when these hang about them in rags, still, as a rule, stick to the use of stays. Many other ex- amples to the same effect might be given, showing that mere regard for appearance will not, as is usually supposed, explain the widespread adoption by the women of our own time of corsets or of tightly bound sashes, as in the case, for instance, of the countrywomen of Spain.

 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 From the Congregationalist of November 29, 1888: During the summer the interior of the Center Church, Dr. Newman Smyth's, has been redecorated, and the pillars which seemed to stand behind the pulpit, and which owed their being not to the carpenter or the stone cutter, but to the ill-advised painter, have been replaced by more truth fnl if not an altogether satisfactory design. 'Ill advised" Is that good word to use for those who were the society's committee and who had the advice of Dr. Leonard Ba- con, the pastor, before the frescoing was commenced. would advice HI. B. B. to ask the attendants of the Center church their opinion of the appearance of the present fires coing and see what the design is and com- pare with what was removed and which they prefer. I am one of 8 large majority who would prefer what was removed to the pres ent fresooing in the rear of the pulpit.

The killdeer blower, bird formerly common in New England, but of late years exceedingly rare, was found by sportsmen along the south shore by the thousand. The birds were in good condition. showing that they had not been without food for very long time, but they were very hun gry, and easily approached by sportsmen. The habitat of these birds at the present season is nowhere to the north of the Caro- linas, 30 that, if from those regions, they were brought hundreds of miles in con- pa<atiyely short time.
