 A friend had pointed a revolver at him.
 We often hear it stated that man is not responsible fer what he does not know. The law presupposes knowledge and therefore conyicts the man who excuses crime by igno- rance.
 If had only known" has often been an unfortunate mans apology for some evil unknowingly wrought, but in a matter of general interest," as for instance that laulanum is a poison. that naphtha is deadly e1- plosive. that blood heavily charged with winters accumulations of the waste of the system,--i is ones du- ty to know the fact and the conse- quences thereof. Our good old grandmothers knew for instance, that the opening of spring was the most perilous period of the year.
 Why?
 Because then the blood stream is sluggish and chilled by the cold weather. and if not thinned a good deal and made to flow quickly and healthfully through the arteries and veins, it is impossible to have good vigor tho rest of the year. Hence, without exception. what is now known as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsa- parilla. was plentifully made and re- ligiously given to every member of the family regularly through March, April, May and June. It is matter of record that this prudential, pre- ventive and restorative custom saved many q fit of sickness, prolonged life and happiness to vigorous old age and did away with heavy medical ex- penditures.
 Mrs. Maggie Kerchwal, Lexing- ton, Ky, used Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla flor nervous sick head ache of which l had been sufferer !
 for years. It has been q great ben eft to me. " Capt. Hugh Harkins l114 S. 18th St., Philadelphia, Pa. says "it purified my blood and re- moved the blotchcs from my skin. Mrs. Area Smith. Topkon, Berks Co.,. Pa. says she was entirely cured of skin disease of the worst kind,' by Log Cabin Sarsaparilla.- - Bad skin indicates a very bad condi- tion of the blood.
 If you would live and be well, gc to your druggist to-day and get Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla and take no other.-there' nothing like it or as good and completely renovate your impaired system with this simple, old fashioned prepara- tion of roots and herbs. Warner, who makes the famous Safe Cure, puts it up, and that is ] guarantee of excellence over all tn, known world. Take it yourself anC give il to the other members, includ ing the children. You will be aston ished its th-giving and life-pro- longing powers. We say this edi- torially with perfect confidence, be cause we have heard good things O it everywhere, and its name is a guarantee that it is first class in ey' cry particular.

 We Arkansans are always willing to compromise with other states. but when it comes to likening our thrifty country to "the place where they al- ways have good fires, tis a carry in things too fur," and we as patri- otic citizens, are compelled to arise and defend our own.

JEFFERSON ON PAPER MONEY.

II am sorry to see our loans begin at so eXhorbitant an interest. And yet even at that you will soon be at the bottom of the loan bag. We are an agricultural nation, Such an one employs it's sparings in the pur- chase. or improvement of lands or stocks. The iendable money among them, is in the hands of executors and guardians. and that which the farm CT lays by till he has enough for the purchase in view. In such nation there is one and one only. resource for loans. sufficient to carry them through the expenses of d war, that will always be sufficient. and in the power of an honest government. punctual in the preservation of it5 faith. The fund l mean is the mass of circulating coin. Every one knows, that although not literally, it is ncar ' true, that every paper dol lar emitted banishes 2 silver one from the ejaculation. A nation therefore. making it's purchases and payments with bills fitted for circu- lation, thrusts and equal sum of coin out of circulation ''-l Jefferson works. Vol. VI, P. 139.

"ln this way, l am not without hope, that this great, this sole re- source for loans in an agricultural country, might yet be recovered for the use of the nation during war, and if obtained in perpetuum. it would always be sufficient to carry us through any war; provided, that i'll the interval between war and war. all the outstanding paper should be called in, coin be permitted to flow in again. and to hold the field of cir culation until another war should re- quire it's welding place again to the national medium. .'-.Ietierson' x works, Vol. VI.

Arkansaw's daisy,
 Though the Texans say she's crazy, And they are all very "praisy"
 When they speak about her lands.
 But it seems to me quite funny
 When I know her climc's so sunny, And thrt VIC can there make money Without working with our hands.
 We have many fruits and flowers.
 Running brooks and shady bowers.
 And the pine tree upward towers
 In the pure and azure sky.
 We all live in peace and love,
 As around our homes we move,
 Prai.ing God who reigns above,
 While the time rolls swiftly by.
 We have pure and virtuous waters, Some of this worlds faircst daughters, And not many cold-blood slaughters Like they have in the Lone Star State. We have good and honest laws,
 And to break them we would pause. For all we honor our cause
 Too much quarrel to create.
 We have doctors, lawyers, preachers, Statesmen. business men and teachers, Just as good and harmless creatures As you'll find in any place.
 We are always for the right.
 And we work with all our might
 To be foremost in the fight
 That is now among the race.
 While VIC praise our native state,
 We will'not forgot to relate
 That we know at any rate
 Other states,are as good as ours.
 At the same time, you all know.
 Hasty words at us they throw,
 And they try to lay us low
 And usurp our powers.

taken up the study Of shorthand as an amuse-
nient, and he became very proficient in it.
When he found himself forced to earn his
Lis ing on land he thought he would turn this
accomplishment to account, and sought and
found employment, about 1858, on The New
York World, with which paper he has since
been connected. He made himself useful, too,
by his knowledge of the art and his general
intelligence and it soon became known that he
had had a large nautical experience. This
led 10 his being assigned to report yacht
races, and he quickly attained a reputation
In this specially. He contributed to the
Sunday editions of the old World a series of
old sailors yarns, which ran along for sew
eral years. They showed hat he possessed a
great deal of humor, fancy and literary
skill. Two volumes of them were subse-
quently collected and published by different
publishers. He was also the yachting
editor OF The Spirit OF the Times, and
wrote for that publication over the
nom de plume "America." Capt. COT
fin was one of the most kindly ma
tured and popular Of men, and his humor at
story telling made him a welcome companion
everywhere. He despised everything that
had the appearance Of snobbery.

How do you mark a card?" said a
Graphic man to Charley Mosster as be
stood on Fourteenth street and Sixth ave
nue. last night watching the world as it
passed.
Easy enough" was his answer. 1--WE
do 1t in the same way that the blind man
reads-by the sense of feeling. Before
we can read these cards they must be put
in shape. This is dom with a ring which
is worn on the most convenient finger.
On the inside of the ring-I mean the
part under the fnger-is a little steel
spur, not sharp enough to penetrate the
cards and make a hole, which would be
detected, but q slight indentation, re.
sembling a pimple, on the back of the
card, but so small that with close obser-
Walton it would not be noticed.
"This we cannot see, but we can feel
it, and the location is the cipher to the
denomination of the card. OF course we
have to see and handle the cards before we
they can be marked, but as we can handle
from five to ten cards each deal, it does
not take long to have all the important
cards punctured. Reading cards marked
In this way Is easy to me. have one sys-
tenn as to the location of marks, and it is
just as simple as telling the same by the
location of the hands of a clock in the
absence of the regular dial figures. Sharp
players make their punctures so slight
that they cannot be detected by the ordi-
nary sense of feeling.
THE reading is then done with the ball
of the thumb from which the outer cuticle
has been removed by acid. The mother
skin is very tender, and readily responds
when 1t comes in contact with the mark.
Greeks of this class can be detected by
watching the thumb of the right hand in
dealing. If it has a sliding motion up and
down the cards then you can bet two to
n that the dealer has got a book for the
blind to read."-New York Graphic.
