The best answer to the question of why
the people of this valley OF Arcadia some
times say "down from st. LOUIS" instead Of
cup from St. Louis to Arcadia" is that the
equator being the highest part of the earth
towards the suu-may be the cause, but this
is non SeQuiter. In truth it is admitted on
all hands that even the French barbarians
say sup" to the top Of the Eifel tower in
stead Of down." and yet the people of St.
Louis will say dozen to the top Of these
mountains instead of up, though we who
live here are higher above St. Louis levee
than is the top of that great tower above the
Boulevard Ste. Geneyieve.

DeS Are Lead Mines.

Dies ARC, Mo-, July Sth, 1889.
Our enterpri>ing merchant, Mr.. Z. w.
Graves, having purchased a tract of land ad-
joining the old lead mines at this place, has
employed lot of experienced miners from
Pilot Knob who are sinking Il shaft Axe.
They are down now about 30 feet and some
lead is beginning to. show up. They will no
doubt strike it in 90 more feet as they will,
by that time, be on Il level with the old mine
shaft which is about 400 yards due north
from this shaft. The old mine turned out
over 10000 pounds of lead during the years
of 1868 and 1869, and, but for some trouble
about the lease, it would have been worked
to the present day. Water seems to be the
great trouble in this new shaft. They keep
a pump running night and day. Mr.. Brier-
ton, late manager at Iron Mountain, and who
was employed since then at the Leadville
mines, pronounces this prospect good and
no doubt in thirty more days this mine will
be turning out large quantities of lead.

Ed. Reg,ster-This will probably be our
last writing from this place. Duty calls us
once more to remove to Pine Grove, where
we are engaged to teach our second consec.
utive term Of school; but, notwithstanding
while residing at that place, it is our inten-
ton to give the REGISTER some Information
| regarding the important events, news and
| other matters, which we think would be in =
tenseiy perused by your many readers. 1t
gives us great consolation to know that we
can be with the good people of Pine Grove
again.
Wheat harvesting is about over and oat-
cutting will commence Immediately. The
former is remarkably good, while the latter
is believed to be some better than it was las
year.
Some pieces Of growing corn look splen
did, while in other the corn is rather infer
ior for the time of year. The chinch bugs
and other destructive insects have not vet
done any noticeable damage to the growing
vegetation.
Mr.. Henry Rencehausen, of Pine Grove, is
engaged to do the most Of our threshing this
season. He has two steam machines and
will thresh for the Alliance.
Hon. Mann Ringo will, during the ensu-
ing term, take Prof. J. B. Scott's place in
the High School Department at Belleview.
Prof. Il. has won much credit for his good
work at Jefferson City, in the last State Leg
islature. Especially for what he did on the
Normal School question. And, moreover,
his qualifications for teaching are not ques-
tionable. He being, we understand, grad
uate of Cape Girardeau School.
Pine Grove has indications of an abund-
ance of minerals. We aim to make inspec-
ton in different localities and if we deem it
worthy to be legible and interesting to your
readers, we will prepare sort of geologi-
cal report and send it to the REGISTER.
We suppose that Mr.. G. w. Stricklin will
take charge of his school at this point about
the first of September.
The late deluge of rain did much to annil-
late the tending crops. especially the:wheat,
corn and oats.
We are informed that Prof. Light will
teach the Cedar Grove school. He is anoth-
er graduate of Cape Girardeau. So you see,
Mr.. Editor, we will have a few graduates as
tutors in Iron county this year. The "new
School Law" seemed to have a powerful
effect to diminish the enormous number Of
school teachers. We believe it to be good
law as the number of teachers needed to be
reduced and none but thoroughly qualified
ones can obtain certificates and receive the
authority to teach.
We are sorry that our noted Belleview
correspondent will soon leave US. He will
go into Reynolds county and there instruct
the pupils at Camp Ground in the ways of
education. We feel safe to say be deserves
much honor for his good writings that he
has so long furnished the readers of the
REGISTER. But. nevertheless, Bro. H., We
hope to read series of articles written hy
you while abiding In Reynolds.
The writer's school begins at Pine Grove
the last week in this month (July 29th.)
Now, Mr.. Editor, in conclusion, if you
never hear from me again, please remember
am one of Iron county's
PEPAGoGVEs.

Industry" assumes very large proper
lions, but as the French projectors OF
the Paris Exhibition are understood to
have arbitrarily limited in many ways
United States exhibitors Of various
kinds in matters Of space and opportuni.
ty, there is no good reason why the pro-
iectors of the American Exhibition fol-
1899 may not assume a kindred preroga-
tive as to the exhibit Of alcoholic liquors
of both foreign and home manufact-
ure. We wish such liquors might
be eliminated from our exhibi-
ton altogether. The argument Of
financial help from the brewers, distil-
lers and liquor importers and vendors
will of course be used with the manage
ment, but it would be better for our
country to forego the proposed COM
| memorative exhibition altogether than
to encourage or tolerate such liquor
display as in Paris. Congress will
doubtless be asked to extend financial
aid to the exhibition from the National
Treasury. We trust that among the
conditions which Congress may very
properly prescribe as to its use in max
ing such appropriation, that one will be
that no National aid shall be extended
to liquor display, and that such display,
If not excluded entirely, shall be re-
stricted to minimum proportions, and
that no intoxicating beverages shall be
sold or given away within the exhibi-
ton Enclosures.
One effective argument used in favor
of holding Worlds Fair in the United
States in 1892 is that it would be largely
educational, and therefore helpful, to
our own and other countries. Let there
be early and effective precaution by the
exclusion, or most stringent restriction,
of intoxicants, that it may not educate

No Beer for Them.

A painter was one day putting the fin.
ishing touches to the outside of large,
handsome building, which happened to
have liquor saloon on the first floor.
He was anxious to finish it that day and
go on to other work which was waiting
for him, and thought he would save
time by not going home to his dinner.
He hailed little fellow who was pass
ing and asked him to 60 to his house and
get basket of lunch, which he in q
note had asked his good wife to make
ready, and promised to pay the boy if he
did the errand we'll.
The little fellow consented readily,
took the note, started off on run. and
was soon back again with tempting
lunch.
Now, how do you suppose the painter
proposed to pay him? In money, of
course, you think. No! He went into
the saloon and brought out IA foaming
glass of beer and held it to the boy say
ing: Here, boy, drink this; Pm much
obliged to you"
Did the boy drink it? No, no: he was
too surprised for moment to speak; but
when again urged tol"hurry up and
drink it he replied that he had never
tasted beer in his life, and he never
meant to. The painter laughed at him
(which was not a very gentlemanly thing
to do, when he was under obligations to
the boy,) but could not move him. The
boy said: You may laugh as much as
you please, but I've promised never to
touch any kind of liquor and as If afraid
longer to remain, ran quickly away.
Bravo! for him. He reminds me of an
other little fellow who was always will
ing to oblige Others by running errands.
He was playing out in the street one
day when lady called to him: ''Char-
ley, will you run and get me pint OF
beer? l will pay you TIVE sents if you
will"
Charley replied: mo, Iua'am, 1 can't
do it; belong to the Band of Hope. I'd
go and buy any thing else for you, but I
can't buy beer" What do you think Of
these boys? Were they not brave?-

IT is no argument against woman
suffrage to say that women do not de-
sire to vote. because we do not give
men the suffrage because it is always
desired, neither do we deny it to those
men who do not exercise it. The argu-

also lacks force in its application, be-
cause we do not deny it to men who
are weaker than the average woman.

ALCOHOLIC EXHIBITIONS.
The Duty of the Friends of Temperance In

The Duty of the Friends of Temperance in
This Country Relative to the Coming
Worlds Fair.
The proposed Worlds Exhibition in
1892, which there is good reason to ex-
pect, says the National Temperance
Advocate, will be held in this. or some
other American city, has already awak-
ened widespread public interest in our
own and in other countries. If held, it
will exert, inevitably, powerful inter-
national influence for good or i'll. The
liquor interest. already infuentially rep
resented in the preliminary committees,
will quite certainly be on the alert to
secure ample opportunity for an ex-
tended, imposing display. There will
doubtless be strenuous efforts made to
surpass in 1892 in extent and variety of
exhibits, in all departments, the great
Worlds Fair in Paris in 1889. The ex-
hibit of alcoholics, of various kinds, in
the Paris Exposition is in the aggregate
simply enormous. In series of build
ings along the Seine one may see, from
the various countries represented, bot
ties, cases. barrels and hogsheads, and
the appliances for distilling, brewing
and manufacturing intoxicants al
most, if not quite, by the
mile! There has probably never been
in the worlds history so extended a
liquor exhibit as Paris has this year pro-
vided for its multitudes of visiting
guests from many nations. In America,
the birthplace of the Temperance re-
fora, this great liquor exhibit ought not
t. oe duplicated. The friends of Tenn,
