SOMETHING ABOUT THE GROOM.

The recent wedding in which MT II z. r. Rolesou and Miss Maud Cornelius. ot Augusta, were principals may al- most be chased as loctl event, as Miss Maud was so we'll known here. But comparatively little is known of the fortunate bridegroom. and the fol lowing from the BatesvIIle Guard will be of interest: "Mr. II. F. Roleson. the handsome and accomplished young attorney of Augusta, who attended the meeting of the Press Association in Batesvile. last May, was married to Miss Maud Cornelius, the belle of Augusta. OH Wednesday. Mir. Roleson served his time as newspaper man ending with the city editorship of the Little Rock Gazette. and was one of the brightest members of the profess sion. He was our comrade. and We give him a comrades best wishes for a life of uninterrupted happiness for himself and his beautiful bride. Role son deserves the best things of this earth, and of these good and lovely woman is both the most beautiful and the best. "-- Marianna Index.

A PLAIN TRUTH.

If you want to organize peoples party in Arkansas, do so. It Is your right, but you must get out of the Alliance to do it, for we tell you, your obligation tells you. and your co,ssti- tuition tells you that we ars nou-parti- san. and when you bring people's party. democratic or republican politics into the Alliance you violate the constitu. tion and your obligation, and you ought to be expelled. Alliance Patriot.
 This is plain truth. Yet the Bushes, Norwoods, Joneses and the office seeking gang generally want to deliver the Alliance oyer bodily to the so. called peoples party, claiming it IS for reform. But they will fail. The peo- pie say that they have been fooled long enough by such professions. Neither the greenback, wheel or union labor parties ever accomplished anything Randolph Herald.

ONE SOUND CALIFORNIAN.

ONE SOUND CALIFORNIAN.
 All the inhabitants of California are not "silver men," Judge James G. Mcguire of San Francisco, for instance. He has been visiting Cincinnati and expresses the opinion that Governor Campbell and the rest of the Democrats in Ohio would have done better if they had openly repudiated the silver plank in their State platform. He says that this silver plank is diverting attention from the real issue of the cam paign-the tarif-and the diversion is not doing the democrats any good. People are beginning to see, says Judge Mcguire, that free silver coinage would enrich few men, and would work incalculable injury to those who are now olamoring for it. It would mean an increase of twenty per cent. in the value of all uncoined silver and depreciation of twenty per cent in all silver coin, so that the work ingman who thought he had dollar in his pocket would find, on trying to exchange it for gold, that he had but eighty cents As to the justice of this kind of thing, Judge Mcguire says: It is just as legiti- mate to give every man who owns one- hundredth of cents worth of green pa per the right to have it stamped "one dollar" by the government as to give that privilege to eighty cents worth of silver.
 This is chiefly interesting as the view of California man of some prominence. It is sound, and if the silver men of the pa ciic slope succeed in carrying out their scheme all those on the slope who cannot make money by mining and selling silver will realize the truth of Judge Maguire's remarks

A Feminine Weak ness.

Fully half the virtues for which their
 owners are praised are of spontaneous growth, and really reflect little credit up- I on those who practice them. Let us take case in point--that of 6 | women who has pet extravaganza. It is
 teacups. She loves pretty clothes, but she can gaze at the latest fabrics in the win | dows of dry goods shop without being tempted to purchase, and can even survey,
 unshaken, invoices of Parisian millinery, gowns and gloves. She had a sweet tooth, but when occasion requires she can steer steady course between Pursell's and Ar
 naud's, or Huyler's and Deane's, without swerving to the right or to the left. But when she hears china shop, her steps falter.
 Strange to say, the very aigh-priced shops do not most beguile her Her at-
 traction is towards those fascinating little
 establishments that display cards bearing the legends, Special Sale. Great Reduc-
 ton! Marked Down,, Like a moth to
 a candle, is she drawn towards the place of temptation. All china Is dear to her heart.
 but she can resist plates, teapots, and even cream jugs, of which every hous-keeper knows one can never have too many. But when she beholds O cup and saucer ticket ed Only 24 cents, she is sure to succumb. She can hold out trifie longer if she reads 39 cents, and twice she has been known to walk on, with an air of dignity, as far as the corner, before she could make up her
 mind to go in and buy the cup and saucer
 billed, for to-day only, 59 cents. Don't think she is reckless in her selection. She always prefers pretty china, and generally shows excellent taste, but she will buy even a plain cup sooner than refuse 8 bar gain.
 Now this woman is known as a good wife
 and mother. She is praised for her house
 keeping, which she likes, for her devotion to her husbsnd and children, whom she adores, for her pleasant, cordial manner, which is entirely natural, and for her phil anthrophy and benevolence, which are in- nate. But should she tell of the times when she scores veritable moral victory by crossing the street to keep away from china shop, or recites poetry to herself to aid her in forgetting an advertisement of a closing out sale, cups and ssucers of fine Doulton, Copeland, and Limoges at only 63 cents apiece, every one would laugh, and | no one would think it worth while to ac-
 count her resistance of temptation as long step in the path of self control and self denial.
 Which goes to prove the force of the
 sentence that preludes this truthful narrs- tive.

ELECTRICITY AND GROWTH.

By and by perhaps farmers will, by means of the electric current, make their plants work night and day. Some very interesting experiments have been made in France by M. Barat, upon the application of the electric current to the culture of potatoes, tomatoes and hemp. A row of hemp, subjected to the influence of the electric current, produced a row of stalks eighteen inches higher than those not cleo triied in the same time. A kilogramms (2.2 pounds) of potatoes planted in the path of the current produced twenty-one kilogrammes of very large and healthy tubers, while the unelectrifed path only gave twelve and one-half kilogrammes of medium size. The electrified tomatoes also became ripe some ten days before the others. A curious fact has been remarked by M. Barat in his experiments. If a quantity of manure is near the positive pole, the constituent parts of this manure are transported toward the negative pole, and their effects make themselves felt around distance of some yards. This WOulo 5cSu IO OO h lICbh plOOl Ol tuC Opiu ion long advanced upon the part played by electricity in the growth of plants, which is, that the action of the electric current upon plants seems to consist in the more active dissolution of the organic principles existing in the soil which are thus brought within the reach of the roots.
 A report of the effect of the electric light on plants comes from the agricultural experiment station of Cornell university, where studies have been made of the in- fuence of the electric arc lamp upon green house plants. Radishes were strongly at tracted by the light, and all leaned at an angle of from 600 to 450 toward the lamp. ''There are few points which are clear. The electric light promotes assimi lation, it often hastens growth and ma turity, it is capable of producing natural favors and colors in fruits, it often inten- sifies colors of flowers, and sometimes in- creases the production of flowers" It is added that the experiments show that plants do not need periods of darkness for rest. "There is every reason, therefore, to suppose that the electric light can be proftably used in the growing of plants" and the further inference is "that if the electric light makes plants to assimilate during the night, and does not interfere with growth, it must produce plants of great size and marked precocity."
 The wonders of electricity appear to be limitless. Possibly it may yet be discov- cred that young human beings can be greatly improved by being properly cleo trifed

place of the lost one. General Jacksou's administration closed not long after. all excitement over political matters abated. and nowadays the famous figurehead can
 be seen at the Annapolis Naval Academy, where there are many others, nearly as well known.
 So much for the figure; but for the lost head which had so mysteriously disap- peared from its place.
 Three years after the unexplained decap- itation in Boston harbor, a msn, Captain Dewey by name, and a native of Cap Cod. asked for an interview with Mahlon Dick erson, the secretary of the navy To the secretary's surprise, Captain Dewey pro- duced the missing half of General Jackson,s head. After receiving the secretarry's as- surance that no punishment would be laid
 upon him, Captain Dewey proudly told his
 story:
 Near midnight, he and a friend rowed
 out in a small boat to where the big vessel
 lay, and by the aid of rope and the haw-
 sers contriyed to scale the tall bows. With
 ever -watchful eyes and ears for the not too
 vigilant guards, Captain Dewey crept out
 over the water, and, hngging the general close, piled a small, sharp saw. At the first attempt the flaw struck bolt that fast ened theihead to the body; but on the second trial he cut his prize entirely of, lowered 1t to the little boat, slid quietly down, and rowed away, chuckling over his own clev- erness and the surprise in store for the crew and town. patriotism, and a love of exciting and adventurous undertakings. led him to risk his life in the adventure.
