It's a cold day when the colored brother,
who holds the balance Of power in Critten-
den County, Ark, fails to get himself into
trouble.
The civilizing influence exerted by the
handful Of white people over there appears
TO be lost on him, or II not is a long time
e~xerting itself.
Sheriff Werner, Of that county, passed
through the city yesterday, en- route home
from Little Rock. From him an ArrEAL
reporter learned the particulars of u dioboli-
cal return for wifely devotion by n black
skinned and black-heartcd husband named
o. J. Harris.
Harris was in Jail at Marion for carrying
| concealed weapons. From the moment OF
his incarceration, or us soon thereafter rs
she could reach the scene, his wife began a
determined effort 10 have him released ON
bond. Just how she could give this bond
was something she had not considered ~
first, but soon realized that IL was an obsta-
Gle worthy the most earnest attention.
Sheriff Werner. who knew the couple and
felt kindly disposed toward them, was
touched by the wife's devotion, who had
succeeded In collecting q small portion OF
the amount required. This the Sheriff ac-
ceptod ami released Harris, first securing the
balance, which was 10 be paid In easy in
stallmenis. This occurred last Saturday
afternoon, and Harris and his oyerjoyed
wife returned TO their humble home at Gil
more,
Sunday night the usually quiet little vii
lagc, Of which the couple formed n part, was
startled and Mortified over the murder OF
Mrs. Hnrris. That IL was the act OF her
h%cartlcss husband there was not the shadow
Of doubt, although there were no eye-wit-
ncsscs. The woman had met her death by
blows with heavy stick. There was intense
excitement among the colored ncighbors,
who soon began To talk Of lynohing the
murderer. Tho whites counsclled modera-
ton, aud succeeded In restraining the in
dignant citizens until the arrival OF Sheriff
Werner, who had been dispatched for. lie
conveyed Harris TO Marion, locked him up
again aud cndcayOrcd 10 induce him TO con
fcss. lie not only declined to confess. but
insisted thai his wife had died from natural
ca uses. This prctensc was knocked silly,
however. by a p-Ost-mOrtcm examination oil
the woman held the next day, which dis
closed a fractured skull aud severe bruises
on the body.

A NOVEL scene took place last
Saturday before the Ways and
Means committee at Washington
General Imboden, a democrat from
Virginia, appeared before that body
in behalf of the iron and coal inter
ests of the South. Here are his
burning words: "We have seen
the North grow prosperous under
the policy Of protection, and we de.
sire a share of that prosperity. / ap-
peal to you, gentlemen of the COM
mittee, on behalf of the South, not
to remove the duty upon iron ore.
The small income derived from this
source will make very little differ
ence with your surplus, while the
removal of the duty will ruin u.s."
There is not the least doubt but the
South in its entirety favors the pro-
lection principle, and needs but to
get out from under the iron hand
of the democratic party to assert
that principle.

THE WAYS OF THE WEALTHY.

William III. Smith, millionaire in
terested in coal and salt mining, has
bill of $500 against the Retsof
Salt Mining Company of Newark,
Livingston county, for two days
work as a common laborer in the
Retsof mines. The bill Will proba-
bly, be disputed, but Smith doesn't
care, for, acting upon knowledge
gained during the two days he
took his place with the laborers in
the mines, he has purchased val
liable bit of salt territory which
promises to net him handsome
profit.
Smith presented himself at the
Office of the Retsof Company the
other day and asked for work. He
was engaged as a common laborer
at 1.30 per day and sent down into
the mine. On the third day he
pleaded sickness and was granted o
day off. He was well enough how
ever to drive to the farm house of
l.. III. Gray, who owned valuable
tract of salt territory the Retsof peo-
pie had been negotiating for. Smith
said he was an employe Of the Ret
sof Company and asked Gray what
Il fol g, 10 Ia,
1.-TWO hundred dollars per acre for
100 acres" was the reply and the
words had hardly been uttered
when the indisposed miner pulled
$4,000 IN bills from his overalls to
bind the bargain. The agreement
was drawn up whereby Gray was
70 transfer the entire ce;Nic for SeO,-
W0, and .-!ui.h returned 10 !ha shntt
u Il Auu0uuptd ,bat he had lccov-
cred from bis. indisposiiian ard re-
solved to wcrk underground.
Gray happened to meet an officer
ofthe Rctsofi company on that same
day ami remarked that he had
finally concluded his bargain with
one of their men. Explanations
which followed weE not calculated
to put the Retsof people in good
humor.
They called the men Up from the
mine in order to identify the party
of the second part of the sale he had
consummated. When Smith was
pointed out he was promptly dis
charged.
The Retsof people were chagrined
over the way they had been out
witted and were willing to raise
ante, but it was too late.
Smith is extensively interested in
coal and oil lands in Pennsylvania.
The land he purchased from Gray
is believed to be the richest salt ter
ritory in Western New York.

tory opens the New Year and its
twenty-third volume with II bright
and readable January number. This
periodical seems to be on the flood
tide of the newly awakened popular
interest in everything that relates to
the heroic past. An admirable por-
trait of William Cullen Bryant
forms the frontispiece, and an ami
mated and welcome paper by the
clever editor treats of his place In
American history. "a Rare Picture
of Early New York" painted on the
panel of an old Dutch war vessel, u
view never before published, is II
contribution both in text and illus
tration from the famous collector DIR.
Thomas Adds Emmct. 1t is not
only the best publication of its kind
on the continent, but there really is
no other which approaches 1t in
scope and general breadth and ex-
cellence of character, while in typo
graphical beauty it is ahead of all
its contemporaries, whether histori-
cal or otherwise. Price IS Il wear.
