MY MUSE.

She came but once, my radiant muse
Once and uncalled for smiling, fair,
Filled for an hour my room with light,
Sat in my battered Office chair;
Watched while l wrote with trembling hand
Ny first, MY last, my only rhyme
Then rose and with one backward glance
Swept from my sight, and since that timo
I've watched and hoped for her in vain
Peered through the window, left the door
Aiar, that l might coax her in,
Bat, ah! she comes to me no moro.
Often hear her mocl;ing voice,
And feel the rush Of lying feet;
AlGsl before l reach the door,
She's turned the corner Of the street.
"If thou hadst held me fast, ." she cries,
"Perchance l had been with thee yet
I'm but woman; such slight
can forgive but not forget

Whore They Don't Drink Jamaica Rum.
A. w. Rogers has just returned from
a two months soiourn in jamaica, and
is rejoicing in what is to him compare
lively coo. weather. He said: "They
don't make molasses for export in ia
maica any more. Everything they can
get for the purposei is put into rum. Rum
brings more than sugar, and anything
that will decay or ferment is put into it.
II you knew the stuff they put into rum
you would coniine your drink-if you
drink-to potato whisky. Why, sticks,
straw, any decayed vegetable substance
seems good enough in the eyes Of the
planters Of jamaica to put into their
rum. The natives OF the island and the
operatives in the mill don't drink it.
Their chief drink is sugar and water. ~

"The South Pole" is the subject OF
an article in one of the monthly maga-
zines. An interesting, but not too
horid, biography of the south pole is
presented, and number of interesting
facts bearing upon it are added. It is
well. the tendency has been not to
give the south pole n chance, but TO
eudeavor to focus all eyes on the elu-
sive pole at the other end of the earth.
In the interest of fair play we welcome
this article and trust it may be widely
circulated. Those who have been
around the Horn can appreciate the
delightful experiences which await the
seekers after knowledge iu the Antarc-
tic regions.

intemperance the curse of Organized

would not be an idle man in America.

Good Manners.

Good manners must have q solid foun-
dation in kindness and self control. To
be genuine, they must be the fruit Of
sincerity and good feeling, and their ox-
ercise must be in conformity with the
working of these qualities in the heart.
No art can successfully counterfeit true
elegance Of manners and department.. To
be real they must have roots deep below
the surface in the soul and heart.-Bos-

What q Caleb!
To the Editor OF The HERALD:

AZ OuG EultOI OF 1dE dERALD.
In reading of Caleb's talk in Wash
ington about Statehood and such, l was
led to exclaim: "What sort of man is
this Caleb, anyhow" There seems to
be nothing of a genuine American
about him, except the accident of his
birth, and no credit to him for that. 1t
was evidently a mistake. He must
have been dropped in the wrong coun-
try and hemisphere. He should have
been born in Russia, or Austria, or
Prussia, or, pc! Naps more properly
still, in the cen re of the dark CONT
nent, where imperialism and even
autocracy of the most rigid type pre-
vail. He certainly does not rightly
belong to liberty loving America. Abb
solutism in Utah would suit him ex-
actly, provided he were the absolute
gentleman. Talk of Ireland, why that
'distressful country" controls about
one-third of the vote IL the British
Parliament, while Utah has not Que SOL
itary vote in the Congress of the United
States, nor shall Utah have one vote if
Caleb can prevent it. Only think of it.

ROMANCE OF A SENATOR.


Judge Thompson in St Louis Republic.
All opposition to the reelection of Mr. Berry
to the United States Senate has died out and
he viii without doubt be his own successor.
There was talk of Governor Hughes but he
never stood any chance at all from the start
against Berry's popularity, which has made
him Representative, judge, governor and Sen
ator. Berry's history reads like a romance.
He was born in Mississippi, think and at the
age of sixteen enlistedin the confederate army,
an ignorant country boy, with neither educa-
| ton nor fortune nor polish. He left leg at
Shilo, and after the war, settled at Ozark,
Franklin county, where he went to school,
working nights and mornings for his board
Afterward he moved So Carroll county, becom-
ing school teacher, and when he had saved
money enough he furnished house, and, writ
ing to Ozark, invited one of the loveliest and
and share it. She was willing. but her parents
would not listen to such a thing. Berry then
for the first time showed that indornitable
pluck that has since overcome all obstacles
He closed his school, crossed the mountain and
| by aid of friend and ladder stole his lady,
love from second-story window. They were
married and shortly afterward the young peda-
gogue was elected to the legislature, but the
old man whose daughter he had won after the
| style OF Middle Age chivalry could not forgive
him.
For years, however, Berry's wife and chill
dren were annual visitors at the Ozark home
| stead, because he insisted on it, though the
doors were closed to himself. He came out Of
| the state legislature a lawyer, and a good one,
too. When his constituents elevated him to the
circuit judgeship his father-in-law, often refer
red to him as my son-in-law, Judge Berry,"
but never spoke to him. In 1882 the great
| northwest" brought Berry out for governor
| and he was nominated by reclamation and
| elected by 10000 majority. 1t must have been
broad and happy day for the judge when his
wife's father wrote to him: my daughter was
better judge of men than l. Forgive me, and
| during your administration, whenever you
want to slip away from the capital to enjoy
a brief respite from the cares of state,
do not invite but beg you to make my
country house your home" Mr.. Berry is
now near the close of his first term in the
United States Senate, having been elected four
years ago to fill the unexpired term of Senator
Garland, ana, the Acknowledgement excepted,
is head and shoulders above any man in
Arkansas, both in point of intellect and popu-
larity.

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
The Trustees Make Number of Changes
in the Rules.

An adjourned meeting of the board Of school
trustees was held Saturday night, the greater
portion of the session being devoted to con-
sideration of the proposed revision of the
rules. 1t was decided that in future the APP
pointments of janitors for steam-heated school
buildings shall be made only from such appli-
| cants as hold engineer licenses from the Dis
trict authorities. The white and colored nor
NAL schools were discussed, and it was decided
to make the examinations for admission the
same to each. In future the colored normal
school will be known as the normal school for
the seventh and eighth divisions. How shall
teachers discipline their pupils? was a ques-
ton over which there was considerable de-
bate, and. while there was no definite
decision arrived at, the trustees suggested
in an informal way that the superintendent
issue an order prohibiting the boxing by teach
ers of the children's ears. The board adopted
| the report of the committee on teachers and
janitors, made at the last meeting, and en-
dorsed the following additional appointments
and promotions Appointments-J. E. Baker,
class 2; Miss E. E. Francis, class l. Promo
tions-R. l.. Johns from class Is to class 10; III,
p. johnson from class IL to class ID; NJ. T..
Socket from class IL to class II; VI. L. Tindle
from class to class 10; transfer, II. II. Bur-
roughs to grade Z, vice Strong, salary class

ID; Miss NJ. b. Fisher from class 8 to
class 4; Miss A. d, Brooks from class 2 to
class a; NJ. Black from class to class Z;
E. G. Kimball, class 10 to class q. A third-class
certificate was granted w. b. Evans. The
board, on motion of Mr.. Fish, accepted with
thanks framed engravings of the late Messrs.
Force. Gales. Seaton and Maury, donated by
Mr.. VIM. ]. Marsh, and directed that the
pictures be hung in the school buildings named
for those gentlemen. Mr.. Marsh also presented
the board with a cOpy of the address of Presl-
dent John Quincy Adams to Lafayette, when
the latter departed from this country. Mr..
Marsh was thanked for this also. 1t will adorn
q wall in the board room.
