 Uncle Siias Beane. known and loved by many of your readers, is very feeble. He is about S4 years old, and according to nature must soon pass the way of all the earth. May the hope in Christ which he has so long cherished. and which has smoothed so many rugged places in the pathway of life, continue tC grow brighter unto the perfect day ; and when his spirit is freed from its tenement of clay, may it be waited by angels through the pearly gates into that city, where sin and sorrow are felt and feared no more.
 Our distinguished friend, Capt John Parker, attended the Masonic Lodge at WilliavilIo last saturday. We look with honor upon the nobles and best of secret organizations, whose origin reaches far back into antiquity, whose history embraces many, many centuries, and whose honor and dignity is still the same while the banner of her pure and sacred obligations floats as gently a' in the days of yore. Go on, thol worthies. What other secret organi- zation can boast of history like yours? None. W.

 EDITOR PICAYUNE:-I am here safe and sound, and am thankful to God for III, goodness. You will have received from Mrs. /appe a little note l wrote in mid-occan, after the fire of the Rugia, on which l was q passenger, The thought of it makes me shudder and feel as if I could have good cry; such a scene I can mover forget.
 We reached Plymouth, England, on Sunday q. m,, and after a stay of twenty-five hours, of which l made good use by going to London by rail. l was much surprised at the great alteration eyerywhcre-for the better. Returning to the Rugia Monday noon, we started once more and reached Cherborg, France, at { p. m. After an hours stay we got away, and passed through the Chan mel in a terrible fog, and had to lay still many time during two days, before we reached the German ocean. Also had narrow escape from being run into by little steamer. At last we reached Hamburg, on May lG, at , a. m. The rain came down in streams and we had to be in it for ten hours before we got out and on land. 1 stayed one day in Hamburg. and visited the exposition there and several of the fine art shows and great factories and stores.

The pension business ought to be stopped. otherwise it will bankrupt the government. The war has been closed over twenty-four years, and surely all worthy claimants have had ample time to put in their claims and receive their annuities. Why there was no limitation set to the receiving of pensions is something which admits of no explanation in harmony with wi~e and conservative statesmanship. There ought to have been a statute of limitation, barring out all claims after the expiration of the time specified, and ten years would have given sufficient time. Instead of that, twenty-four years have elapsed and yet the pension business seems to be just getting under good headway.

The Little Rock Democrat of Thursday announced that the Daily Arkansas Gazette had been bought for SIP, GOO, by company of Little Rock gentlemen, all solid Democrats. As yet the Gazette. itself, has made no announcement as to the trade. awaiting, We suppose, the final clos ing of papers. We are glad to know the Gazette is to change hands. Its course of late, and we might say for several years past, has been anything hut satisfactory to true blue Demo crats. in that it's utterances have been used as 8 cudgel by the enemies of Democracy to fight us with. A great change is what is desired by the rank and file of the Democratic party, and if the sale is perfected we think this will be effected.

A western paper whose subscrip- ton list has suffered from the evil il deprecates, says; Reader, if you have borrowed the paper you are reading, don't do it again. Sub scribe; it isn't safe to borrow papers. We once knew poor but honest man who borrowed a paper, inno- gently and inadvertently, from a hitherto wholesome neighbor. Fatal act.

The bagging trust is being "downed" in nice, genteel way. An exchange says; 1t is now dciin- itely settled that q strong effort will be made to have this seasons crop of cotton wrapped in cotton instead of jute bagging. According to prac- tical tests made five pounds of cotton bagging costing 124 cents will wrap bale of cotton to go to Liverpool, while it takes thirteen pounds of jute bagging costing 5 cents per pound to do the same thing. A committee appointed by the national Alliance to communicate with spinners in this country and in Europe, arranged for premium of eight cents per pound for the raw cotton to equalize the tare now allowed by them for jute bagging."

A onkey with a peculiar Tale.


A murder was recently committed
near Lucknow Ii was detected, il f.
said, by "a monkey. IL appears that
a juggler, with his wife, goat,
and two monkeys, were attacked by two
Moplahs, who killed all except the
male monkey, which escaped, and buried
the bodies in the jungle. The male mon
key took its station upon big tree,
watched everything, and when con.
stable passed by the animal
made after him, laid hold of the
mans leg and dragged him TO
the place where the bodies were buried.
The bodies were exhumed After
which the monkey showed the way
to hut which the mrderers had
entered. Not finding them the. ami
nal took the constable in another
direction, and suddenly ran at full speed
and seized a Moplah, who was going TO
bathe near a tank, by the neck, and
waited till the constable arrived. This
led 10 the detection OF the murderers.
