Your House on Fire.

Not the house of wood, or brick or stone, in which you live, but your bodily tenement may be in terrible danger from smouldering fire which you make no effort to quench. The great danger from impure blood is that it dcbilitates the system. and the digestive organs grow weak and inactive. Hoods Sarsaparlla com bines the best kidney and liver invig- orators, with the best alternatives and toncs. all from the vegetable Kingdom, carefully and understand ingly prepared in a concentrated form.

A Scheme to Rob the Treasury.

Before Corporal Tanner goes very far in his movement to bully Con- gross into pcnsioning every living person who enlisted in the Federal army during the late war, he should consult the treasury statistics. They reveal apUblic debt of Sl, 600 .0O0, ,OOo in round numbers, showing a de crease in twcnty-four years of only $ ,20O. .ooO, ,U0O. notwithstanding the tremendous drain on the people.
 \ short time ago even the brazen i Tanner was forced to admit that ad- ding q service pension would exhaust 1 the public revenues, leaving nothing l for the gradual reduction of the debt. ''But, adds the cheeky Pension Commissioner, "I promised my friends in the C. \, k. that as Com missioner l would labor to secure a service pension. What can doT'
 This is the substance, though not the exact language of Tanners ad- mission; and his allusion to the G. A. R. enables one by reading between the lines to trace the influence that placed him in the Pension office. It smacks of a trade between Tanner and certain leading elements of the G. A. R., he to use his position to demand pensions for every person who was in any way identified with the military service on the Federal side.
 The total revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1889, amounted to S3SO, 900 900. But if the service pension scheme should prevail this vast sum will be insufficient. Addi- tional burdens must be placed upon the shoulders of the people, who with almost one voice demand relief
 'and all because Pension Commis- sioncr Tanner and the purely mcrcc- nary element of the C A. R., stimu- lated and doubtless directed by the pension agent sharks, have made up their minds to capture and pcrma ncntly divert to their own use the contents of the United States treas ury, Arkansas Gazette.

Whither are We Tending.

The eloquent Patrick Henry said |: I've can only judge the future by the past.
 Look at the past:
 When Egypt went down, , per cent of her population owned 97 per cent of her wealth. The people were starved to death.
 When Babylon went down, , per cent of her population owned all her wealth. The people were starved to death.
 When Persia went down, per cent of her population owned the land.
 When Rome went down, 800 men owned all the known world.
 There arc about 10000, ,000 people in England, Ireland and Wales, and 100, ,000 people own all the land iu the United Kingdom.
 For the past twenty years the United States has rapidly followed in the steps of these old nations. Here are the figures:
 In 1850 capitalists owned 314 pel cent of the nations wealth.
 In 1870 they owned G3 per cent

A Story of Henry Clay.

OtOFy OI 1eury Cldy.
 A lady whose father was Unite, States Senator in the time of Henry Clay, tells pleasing incident of tha great statesman kindness of heart and of the winning way he had witt children, who felt themselves irrcsist. ably drawn toward him.
 The lady was then girl of about thirteen years and was staying at th, hotel in which Mir. Clay had room, in Washington. Her father and Mir Clay were opposed to each other pu- litically, and the little girl supposed that they must naturally dcspisc each other personally. Accordingly she took delight in saying childisl, unkind things about Mir. Clay.
 She learned many of the doggcrcl rhymes of which every political cam paign is prolific, rhymes in which candidates for office are held up to ridiculc. These songs she sang spitcfully in the presence of her . young associates who were friendly to Mir. Clay. What was, therefore, her amazemcnt when her father came l walking into their little hotel parlor one evening arm in arm with MT. Clay.
 My dear,' he said to her, this is Mr. Clay"
 Il am always glad to make friends with the children,' said MT. Clay, as he took his unknown enemy bv the hands, and sat down by her side.
 Her father was called from the room for a few minutes, and during that time Mir, Clay completely won his enemy over by his kindness and charm of manner, and when he left her to talk to her father she watched him with adoring eyes.
 Then her conscience suddenly smote her, as she recalled all the un- kind things she had said about Mir. Clay, who was now to her the per sonilication of all that was good and great.
 She recalled those doggcrel lines with shame and regret Being q very conscientious little girl, she felt that she must make all the reparation within her power for what she felt was q great wrong. She therefore followed him into the hall when he went away, and, going shyly and tearfully forward. said:
 "Mr. Clay-I-I'-
 He turned around and said kindly, "Well, my dear, what is it?"
 "Why-I-l've been very-very naughty girl, indeed. live said awful things about-about you, but I'll never, never say them again !" and she began to weep, while MT. Clay said:
 And what have you said?"
 "Oh--l've sung dreadful songs about you--that awful one that says;
