State Treasurer's Report.

The biennial report of Hon. w. F.. W oodruff, treasurer of State, to the Governor, has been published. It presents full and correct statement of financial transactions of this de- partment for the two years ending September 30th, with such recom- mendatiOns as the treasurer consid- CTS pertinent. The attention of the Legislature is called to the fact that no provision was made by the last general assembly to meet interest on bonds purchased for the permanent school and sixteenth section funds. The accrued interest on these funds is S29 1925, while it will take up 41- 900 to meet interest that will accrue from October l, 1888, to April l ', 1891. The total bonded debt of the State is S4 ,S42 ,0l5-principal, S2,- UZ9, lOU: interest, SZ ,S52 ,Sl0. MOfe than one-half of this is held by the general government. The State holds in trust for the permanent school and sixteenth section funds S423, ,000, leaving outstanding in the hands of individuals about S2.000,- GOO. He shows that this can be easily retired if the State will con tinue it's present policy. From Jan uary l3, 1881, to September 30, 1888 q period of seven years, the amount of Sl ,741 ,360.25 of the bonded debt has been redeemed. Of this sum Sl, l03, 100 was principal and s644,- 2G0.25 interest.

A Philadelphia Hercules.

Philadelphia can boast of mo- dern Hercules Tn the person of Geo. Soptman, giant in muscle and stature. He stands feet A inches in his stockings, measures 90 inches around his chest and weighs 27S pounds, scarcely an ounce of which is superiluous flesh. His propor- tions are admirable, and he has amazed many an athletic expert by his displays of strength. Soptman recently paid a short visit to the gymnasium on Arch street and gave an exhibition of what he could do. The pupils eyed him curiously when he picked up the 100-pound dumb bell and twirled it between his fin gers as dude might do with bam- boo cane. When he stretched out his arms and asked all who possibly could do so to jump on his back, arms, shoulders and head to take a ride, eight sturdy and strong men complied with the request, and hold ing on to his ears, hair and collar button, they bore their weight upon him. He carried them without much
 difficulty, and the gymnasts who saw l the performance were almost inclin- ed to think contemptuously of their own comparatively puny physiques.
 Not satisfied with this the young giant went to the strength-testing scale and pulled up the 2000-pound weight with ease. He then wrap ped two straps around his shoulder and back, and fastening the ends to ] $500 pounds of iron, he calmly raised the weight and took a prom enade around the hall with his load, As his last act, instead of wrest- ling with a Nnmean lion, as Hlrcules of 'mythological fame, did, he caught hold of bear, which a friend had expressly brought, and hugged the animal so hard that it grunted for mercy. Soptman has yet to perform seven more difficult tests, and then he will pose himself as a modern Hercules and the hero of twelve un- paralleled feats of strength, ,-EX.

PRESCOTT NEVADA COUNTY ARKANSAS WEDNESDAY, JANUARY Ss9

of Revenue Laws" Treasurer Wood ruff says:
 The passage of Act No. xcii, pp. 133, etc, acts 1887. covering many important amendents to the revenue laws, and affecting existing laws as to manner of apportioning the school fund, is respectfully called to your notice, as It may or may not require the attention of the Legislature, ac- cording to it's attention when enact ing 1t. For several years past the revenue laws fixed the last day on which collectors could pay she reve- nue into the State treasury without penalty, at dates varying from the 10th of May to the first part of July annually. By sections from 4 to S3, acts of 1887, the period was so extended that it may fall as late as the middle of August in each year. By section 6,l40, Mansteld's Digest, the superintendent is required, on the first Monday of July and first Monday of January in each year, to make pro rata apportionment to the several counties of the State of the remaining revenues in the State treasury,
 For many years prior to the pas sage of the act of 1887 the school revenues were all practically in the treasury on the lst of July annually ; but in 1888, owing to the act of 1887 about Sl00, ,000 of the school revenue of 1887 was not paid into the State treasury until between the lst of July (the date at which the superin- tendant makes apportionment) and the l5th of August. The opinion of the general was sought by | tiIN lISdSuICl. dHi upO II his advice the school monies were paid out upon the basis of the con dition of the fund on the lst day of July-following the strict letter of the law.
 If the legislature desired or de- sires change it can be effected either by requiring the collectors to pay over to the State at an earlier d. han the lst of July annually, as oen the law for many years. or by deferring to later date than the middle of August the time for mak- ing the pro rata distribution of the school fund.

The prettiest cottage on Richard son street, and one of the pre,tiest in Atlanta, is the house that Joyner built.
 Five years ago that was the ugli- est lot on that side of town, There was no cottage there--no grass, no flowers, and set away back, on the end fartherest from the street, was a two-roomcd shanty
 Il bought the place." said Joy ner, ''in the fall of 1883. There was nothing on the lot but that little shanty. The place was to be paid for in thirty-cight monthly payments of $40 each, and as soon as the place was bought we moved into the shan ty."
 How many of you:"

 Then it costs more to live in win ter anyhow. There are the clothes to buy, and wood, and a thousand and one little things that you never think of till winter comes, We had a hard time that winter. The roof was rotten and there was cracks in the walls. There was no clustering,

TiSSfOSitt SiesSidtiI ISttSf.
 EXECUTIVE MANSION, WAsnINGroy, Dec. 24.-Committee of Invit ation: Gentlemen--I am exceedingly sorry that l cannot be present at the an- nual dinner of the Massachusetts Tariff Reform League on the 25th inst. This is not merely formal and common expression of regret. It truly indicates how much I should enjoy meeting the members of your league, and how glad I should be to express in person my appreciation of their important services in cause to which am earnestly attached and to acknowledge at the same time their frequent and encouraging manifesto tions of personal friendliness. 1 know, too, that it would be profitable and advantageous to be even for brief period within the inspiring in- | fluence of the atmosphere surround ing patriotic and unselfsh men, banded together in the interests of their countrymen and devoted to the work of tariff reform.
 This reform appears to me to be as far-reachlng in it's purposes as the destiny of our country and as broad in it's benefcence as the welfare of our entire people. It is because the efforts of it's advocates are not dis credited by any sordid motives that they are able. boldly and confidently to attack the stronghods of selfish ness and greed Our institution were constructed in purity of pur- pose and love for humanity. Their operation is adjusted to the touch of national virtue and patriotism, and their results under such guidance must be the prosperity and happiness of our people, and so long as the ad vocates of tariff reform appreciate 1 the sentiments in which our institu- tions had their origin, so long as they apprehend the forces which alone can guide their operation, so long as they, in a spirit of true pat riotlsm, are consecrated to the ser wee of their country, temporary de- feat brings no Encouragement; it but proves the stubborness of the forces of combined selfishness and discloses how far the people have been led astray and how great is the nec- essity of redoubled efforts in their behalf To lose faith in the intelli- gence of the people is surrender and abandonment of the struggle. To arouse their intelligence and free it from darkness and delusion gives assurance of speedy and complete victory.
 In the track of reform are often found the dead hopes of pioneers and the despair of those who fall in the march. But there will be neither despair nor dead hopes in the path of tariff reform, nor shall it's pioneers fail to reach the heights. Holding fast their faith and rejecting every alluring overture and every dccrip- tive compromise which would betray their sacred trust, they themselves shall regain and restore the patri- mony of their countrymen, freed from the trespass of grasping en- croachment and safety secured hy the genius of American justice and equality. Yours very truly,
 GROVER CLEVELAND.

You may hammer ice on an anvil, or bray it in q morter. What then It is pounded ice still, except for the little portion melted by heat of per cussion, and it will all soon congeal again. Melt it in the sun, and it flows down in sweet water, which mirrors the light which loosed the bonds of cold. So. hammer away at unbelief with your logical sledge- hammers, and you will change it's shape perhaps, but it Is none the less unhelief because you have ground it to powder.

 The first twelve years of the eNi5- tence of the government was con trolled by the Federalists. which at- terward merged into the Whig party. Then the Democrats got control un- der Thomas Jeiferson-he being the first Democratic President elected. It will be seen that the Democratic party has never changed its name or principles since it came into eNis- tence; while the F6deraisgs altered theirs to Whig, then know-N Nothing Ga secret, dark lantern order), then American, and finally Republican parties And had it not been for the disruption in the Charleston Con- vention, in 60, they would never have gotton foothold under the Re publican banner But Tn lS5S-9, the whole opposition to the Democratic party united on platform which they could all stand on, and in 1860 the Democratic party being di- vided-they easily elected Abraham Lincoln president, And it now re- mains for the Democratic party to stand firm as stone-wall, and history will repeat itself, and the Republican party will have to go to the wall, or bob up under some other name.
