tanned in the following, clipped from

G. Allis, now residing in Little Book,
will go to St. Louis to accept the po-
sition Of cashier Of the Merchants
National Bank, one of the largest
financial concerns in the West. The
capital of this bank is $1,000 and
the surplus $l4O, 900, which will give
an idea Of the responsibility assumed
by Mr.. Allis in the acceptance Of this
trust. Among the many young men
Of Arkansas, who have, by dint of
energy and native talent, won con-
spicuous success IN life, Mr.. H. G..
Allis, formerly Of Pine Bluff, is un-
doubtedly the most prominent"
The Arkansas E. S. A. met in the
rooms Of the McDiarmid Block at

numbers Of the programme were rem
dered to an appreciative audience.
The paper by Miss Lura E. Brown
was well rendered, and DR.. Gray's
remarks on the enfranchisement OF
woman elected much applause. The
doctor gave as his reason for advocat-
ing the measure, that he believed the
Bible fully endorsed it. This seems
in such direct opposition to the doc
trine taught or interpreted by some
divines, that not a few of our good
people would like to hear DR.. Gray
fully discuss this question, and trust
he may at an early day deliver a lee
ture in our city on this most impor-
tant subject. One of the most i'm
portant features of the meeting was
the reading of the lease, another the

Sweet Vengeance.

A good joke is told upon two st. Cloud
gentlemen, both Of whom are we'll
known young men. One Of them is a
married man. The other day two young
ladies from, we'll, it might have been
Minneapolis, arrived on visit to his
wife. Soon after their arrival the two
gentlemen conceived a diabolical idea.
A mouse was captured and tied between
the bed clothes in the apartment occu-
pied by the visitors shortly before they
retired. The reporters informant re-
Trained from giving the tragic details of
the finding of the imprisoned animal,
and it must suffice to say that it was
awful! There was no peaceful slum-
Der for the visitors that night, and until
dawn was spent by the young ladies in
celebrating upon how to avenge the
above practical joke. They. succeeded
most admirably.
Last night the two gentlemen, who
occupied the same room, retired as usual.
Occasionally they would remember some
thing about the mouse and then roar
of laughter would be heard. But sud-
denly everything grew still Then there
were some remarks that sounded like
"cuss words" and suddenly prolonged
snufing noise, and then the anxious
listeners knew that all was over, or
rather under the bed It is explained
that when the two young men proceeded
to don what is commonly designated as

could be discovered. They were sealed

Wealth in the Watermelon.

Every season develops more and more
fully the prevailing necessity for the dis
covery Of some practical and profitable
use to which the surplus melon crop
may be put. Every melon left in the
field at the end of the season, except for
seed, represents waste. A means by
which this waste, which annually as
sumes enormous proportions, could be
averted would no doubt be hailed with
pleasure by every melon grower in the
country; therefore the announcement
from the Southland to the effect that
such means has been discovered, if au-
thenticated, is an important one.
The new discovery, which consists of
converting the melon bulb into strip, it
is alleged, will establish in the south an
industry scarcely of second importance
to that Of producing oil from cotton
seed, and the product is vouched for as
being the very best ever yet made. If
the report proves true, and there seems
to be little or no reason for discrediting
it, Mississippi and Scott counties may,
with little energy, convert that which
is now absolutely valueless into profits

Houdin acquired comfortable COM

the postman delivered the letters he had
brought he was instructed to drop them
through slit in the gate into the recep-

box, directly this was done, started Of
its own accord. on its journey to the
front door Of the house by means Of

The Style in Dresses.

Now that the decree has gone forth
that all street dresses shall lie on the
ground an inch and half when made,
a dress supporter becomes matter Of

tic tapes is already in market for this
purpose, by which the skirt may be ele-
waited to clear the pavement a few
inches. AS this elevator" is to be at
tached to all walking dresses by the
dressmaker, and become as much part
of the mechanism of the gown as the
steels or skirt braid, the new tailor dresses

An Old Cemetery Found.

A cemetery Of the Merovinglan period
has been disclosed by workmen in a rail-
way cutting near Argenteuil, France.
Two hundred and twenty tombs were
brought to light. The primitive mode
of cofining the dead in plaster Of paris
was resorted to by the people who buried
in this cemetery. The plaster envelopes
have resisted well the action of time, it
is reported, as all the skeletons were pre-
served. Paris Letter.
