"THE NEW SoUTHn is receiving fine
development in Arkansas. The House Of
Representatives of that State has taken down
the picture of Washington, which has orna-
mented its hall for 20 years or more, in
order to make room for one of JEFF Davis,
which the House ordered painted, at high
price, though the State treasury is empty.
There the picture will hang for years to
teach the young Arkansans how noble
thing it was to plot to plunge a peaceful
country into needless war and slaughter
a million men to crafty personal ambition.

Getting Her Pas Consent.

A tale is told of great flood Of
June, 1889, which devastated the
Susquehanna valley at the same
time the Johnstown calamity Oc.
cured. A well to do resident. whose
house stood close to the river, had a
beautiful daughter to whom a hand
some young lumberman had been
paying suit. For some reason the
w0eer did not find favor in the
fathers eyes. and he was forbidden
to communicate with the girl. He
continued his toll and patiently
bided his time. A few days before
the flood he started up the river 10
assist in bringing down the raft. The
raft was duly started, but the water
continued TO rise to such an extent
that it was deemed advisable to tie
up. This was found to be out of the
question, as the food had covered
the "snubbing posts" and so the
raft drifted on, carried by the cur
rent.
Scores of untenanted houses were
passed. and they finally approache d
the home of the young mans sweet
heart. AS they drew near they saw
the whole family upon the rool
franticalIy beseeching for rescue.
Aided by the current the crew
guided the raft so that il just scraped
the caves of the house. and with one
accord the victims began to leap up'
on the modern ARK. The lover, how
ever. seeing that his sweetheart was
safe, grasped pike and refused tc
let the father on board, shouting:
"Will you give me Mary? vii
you give me Mary p" The old man:
face depicted wOfully the inward
strife between prejudice and self pre-
seryation, but meanwhile the raft
was slipping past, and moment'
hesitation would be fatal. "Takt
her." he yelled-the pike was with
drawn and he leaped aboaId-''but.'
he continued. "if ever get you in q
hole like that. Bill. I'll drown ye.'
The couple were married at Lock
Haven.-PhiIadelphia Times.
