when these words arrested my attention, and,
turning, | saw, for the first time, the heroine of
this sketch, Emma Mary. She was little woman,
dressed In rusty black gown, short coat and black
bonnet; in her arms she carried two little bundles
Rugged to her breast, one done up in newspaper,
the other in an old shawl; her hands were covered
with grey cotton gloves, whose frayed fingers
clutched an old pocketbook and the ticket she was
in the act of purchasing.

were English and its tones very weak and timid.
"Quite, Madam replied the gruff official, with
frown that drove the poor little creature from the
window.
"Deary me-" heard her murmur, "howeyer

squeezed the bundle in the shawl, 'Don't YOU

OLD FOLKS.
by ONE OF THEM.

Our days are long and dreary,
Our nights are sad and weary;
Our earth born hopes Seem blighted;
Our eyes so dimly lighted;
We see not as we used to see,
We hear not as we used to hear,
And nothing seems as it used to be.
The bird songs thrill through harsher throat
And not so smooth are music's notes.
So oft we sigh, "Oh, dear; oh, dear;
There's naught of life our hearts to cheer"
TITS sad, indeed, to grow so Old
We are left so often in the cold;
Our forms are withered, bent and weak,
Our voices culver when we speak,
Our wrinkled hands they tremble so,
Our steps they totter as we go.
Time leaves deep burrows on the brow,
And hearts once light are heavy now.
How oft we sit with half closed eyes,
With none near by to hear our signs,
While on our laps our hands we fold
And think, "Ah me, we're growing old"
When trying hard to do our best,
We stop so often, just to rest
Needing not that Time will fly
And take us on as he goes by.
And when we watch the children play,
We think, ave did the same one day;
And when the gay young folks we see,
Passing by so merrily,
We close our eyes, our hands we fold,
And sigh, "Ah me, we're growing DID,"

The woman who was hanged in Pennsylvania
the other day, was not largely written about.
There were few ceremonies at this death by the
hand of the lord high executioner, and throughout
the country one line sufficed to inform the public
that a woman had been hanged. Ample evidence
to prove temporary insanity as cause of her crime
was furnished at the time of trial. but it avaed
nothing The general verdict of thinking people
who are interested in the cause of justice to hui
mainly, is that irresponsible persons should not be
punished for their crimes. For instance, children
and idiots are not responsible, and woman is still
in the same pen. If she is rational being, as the
punishment indicates, she then should be allowed
to have hand at the laws that hang her.
Lucy WEBB HAYES, the beloved wife of ex-Pres-
ident Hayes, and as noble q woman as ever occu-
pied the White House, died at her home in Free
mont, Ohio, June 25th, aged So years. Stricken
suddenly with paralysis, she was taken away in
the full perfection of her powers. Mrs. Hayes
character was strong one, and she left deep
impression on the womanhood of this country by
the courage she displayed in carrying out her con-
victions regarding temperance while occupying the
White House. For her course of action she was
criticized harshly by the press, but she was UNI
faltering in her ideas of right, and her lfe-size

The New York Herald rightfully speaks of her
as tthe friend of questionable virtues, such as

Her funeral occurred June 28th, the same pastor

LITTLE ROCK, SATURDAY, JULY 20, 1889.

JOHN L. SuLLIyAN's parents are anxious their son
should open saloon in New York and 60 to Con-
gress. They think a 'fne, heightened business
is the place for a man with culture before him,
and cite John Morrisey as an example of what
America can do for a great man.
Mrs. CLARA MeDARMp, of Little Rock, expects
TO enter upon the study of law at Ann Arbor Uni
versitv in the fall. She accompanies her son to
that city to take the four years collegiate course,
and during her sojourn there will occupy her time
in that direction. Mrs. McDiarmd is the presi-
dent for Arkansas of the National Woman's Suf-
frage Association.
IT is said the Baroness Gripenberg was greatly
impressed during her visit to the International
Convention at Washington with American institu-
tions, and especially with the greater freedom en-
joyed by women of this country. Since her return
home she has begun the publication of a journal
called 'Home and Society,"" An advanced wom-
ans paper is new departure in Finland, and the
men are aghast, but the baroness says it is Ameri
can and progressive for women to edit newspapers,
and having the means to publish it, she sees no
reason why she should not make the women of her
country acquainted with her twentieth century
ideas.

THE TERRY TAKING OFF.
A Warrant For the Arrest of Judge Field
The Inquest.

"A warrant For the Arrest of Judge Field
The Inquest.
STOCKTON, Cal, Aug. ia warrant was
issued yesterday for the arrest of Justice
Stephen ]. Field on complaint of Mrs.
Sarah Althea Terry, who charges him
with completely in the killing of her hps-
band, David S. Terry. at Lathrop Wednes-
day, and Sheriff Cunningham left for San
Francisco to arrest Justice Field.
The attorneys who have been engaged
to defend Deputy Marshal Maggie, who
shot Terry, promised that Justice Field
would appear when wanted. but Mrs. Ter
ry's complaint was made against both.
The funeral of Judge Terry will be held
to-day. The body has been kept at the
morgue and Mrs Terry has not left it at
any time.
At the inquest over the body of Judge
Terry no new facts were developed. A
number of witnesses were examined,
among them being the proprietor of the
hotel at Lathrop The coroner's jury re-
turned a verdict that the deceased came to
his death from the effect OF gunshot
wounds inflicted by David Maggie at
Lathrop.
1t is the theory of those about the
United States marshal's Office that Mrs.
Terry when she threw herself upon her
husbands body when he was shot by Dep
uty Marshal Maggie, took a weapon from
lin, as when the body was searched no
Weapon was found. Both Judge Field
md Judge Sawyer continue to be care
fully guarded as Mrs Terry, it is feared,
will seek vengeance for the killing Of
Judge Terry.
