German
 Syrup

Here is something from MT. Frank A. Hale, proprietor of the De Witt House, Lewiston, and the Tontine Hotel, Brunswick, Me. Hotel men meet the world as it comes and goes, and are not slow in sizing people and things up for what they are worth. He says that he has lost a father and several brothers and sis ters from Pulmonary Consumption, and is himself frequently troubled
 with colds, and he Hereditary often coughs enough
 to make him sick at Consumptionhis stomach. When
 ever he has taken a cold of this kind he uses Boschee's German Syrup, and it cures him every time. Here is man who knows the full danger of lung trou- bles, and would therefore be most particular as to the medicine he used. What is his opinion? Listen "I use nothing but Boschee's German Syrup, and have advised, 1 presume, more than hundred different per sons to take it. They agree with me that it is the best cough syrup in the market" O

AT the department of state it is salt

AT the department of state it is sad the policy of this government has been to avoid the encouragement of premature recognition of revolution ary movements, particularly in t ne case of the unsettled republics of the American hemisphere. This may be sll SO, but it does not warrant the turn ing of the key of the state department when the envoys of the insurgents went around to say good morning to the proxy Secretary of State.

 Wealth.

Wealth.
 Every day for years past might have been seen on the steps of the church of St. Sulpice, writes the Paris core. spondcnt of London contemporary, a venerable mendicant with hump on his back, which, by the way, did not diminish with age, but, on the con- trary, grew in a most abnormal man. ner. It was not until the beggar was gathered to his fathers that an eX- panation of the phenomenon was forth coming. Fere Antoine was q canny old man who did not make ducks and drakcs of the aims which he received. He spent very little and invested his steadily increasing capital Tn shares, winch, with certain amount of gold and silver, he kept in bag securely tied over his ragged coat. Mysterious hints as to the importance of his sav- ings led several people to show him considerable attention, and among them was neighbOr to whom he had promised the whole of his little fortune. A few months ago he was taken i'll suddenly, and one night while dclirious he jumped out of a window and so put an end to his days. The neghbor i'm mediately possessed himself of the bag and found that it contained share cer- tifcates and money to the amount of nearly twenty thousand dollars. Un- luckily, however. for him he soon as certained that Pcre Antoine had two relatives to whom he had bequeathed his savings in will. The good neigh bor sent them the contents of the bag. with the exception of four thousand dollars which he retained for himself, and the words: "Your uncle is an old rascal" which he forwarded on piece of note paper with the parcel led to his discovery. He was prosecuted for theft and was condemned to two years imprisonment.

IN the last call for city warrants was ono held by l. NJ. Jacobs of the face value of $263.20 drawn in favor of the Record-Epilaph. This warrant was purchased for 50 cents on the dollar and cost $l31.60. The interest on the warrant to the time it was called in was $l50.35. It took $4l3 65 August 10th 1891 to pay a warrant purchased in 1885 for $l3l. 50, profit in six years of $2S2.O5 or 2l5 per cent. This is simply one of the illustrations of the credit system of doing business and its result.

SOME OTHER DAY.

Some other day, some other day,
The sun will shine again,
And all the clouds so gloomy now
viii vanish with the rain
The heavy heart, the signs and tears,
win yield to smiles OF joy,
The golden light of happiness
BE ours without alloy.
Then let us hope for brighter days
And struggle toward the goal,
Where we may hear the plaudit won
by every constant soul:
"Well done thou good and faithful one;
Inherit joys divine
Reserved for those whoc Iov the Lord,
Who soar to heights sublime.

Figures give one a very inadequate
conception of the size aud distance
of the heavenly bodies, but we find
in contemporary this somewhat in
telligible estimate of the!size and dis
tance of Sirius. Suppose that we
were to travel with the enormous
speed of light 192 900 miles Sec
ond), which reaches us from the sun
in a little over eight minutes. We
would hardly care to travel faster
than that; but even at that incon-
ceivable rate it would take us nearly
ten years to reach our journeys end
and alight upon Sirius.

The news comes that George p.
Smoote is dead. He suddenly
''passed to the farther Shore from
his home at Prescott, on the morning
of the 22nd inst. The writer OF
these lines, who knew the deceased
well and loved him, feels, as only
the human heart can feel under such
circumstances, the utter impuisance
of words TO express the emotions
that stir from the lnnermost depths.
As the keen knife wounds, as the
cruel blow dazes and stuns and
sends the victim blinded and reelln@
to the ground, so does this afllicton
pierce and lacerate the soul. 1t is a
solemn and an awful thing to stand
in the presence of death, even when
it has come not suddenly or una
wares; but to greet your friend to-
day, as IL were, TO lay aside letter
just written YOU by him in .his pleas
ing style and happy mood, and at
the next moment pick up newspa-
per and nave that inexplorable mes
senger tell you he is gone from NOR
tai sight and sense forever-how
dark, how bewildering, how hopeless
does all life then seem! Yes, Geo.
II. Smoote is dead: and when he
slipped from Times embrace and
rushed into Eternity's all-grasping
arms, Earth lost brilliant gem and
Heaven found a radiant soul. C.

Last Wednesday about ten O'Clock
after his return home from down
town, Judge George p. Smoote, of
Prescott, suddenly died. He had
been in bad health for some time,
but his death was not expected so
soon and IN such a manner. Judge
Smoote had recently returned to his
home at Prescott from trip in Tex
as for his health. The
death of Judge Snioote is much re-
GREETED, and his loss to the State is
great. In common with the people
of Arkansas to whom he was we'll
known and by whom he was beloved,
we extend our sincure sympathy to
his bereaved family Hope Ga

The announcement of the death of
Hon. Geo. Il. Smoote, of Prescott, on
the 22nd inst, brought sadness to
many hearts in Arkansas. He was
widely known and admired as one
of the ripest scholars and purest
hearted men in the State. He was a
profound thinker and jurist of ex-
traordinary ability. He was a true
poet, and wrote with purity of die
ton and beauty of rythm that places
his productions in the category of the
masters in the divine art. His heart
never grew old and life was evident
ly as sweet to him in his 62nd year,
and as full of promise as when his
youth was in its earliest bloom.
May his gentle spirit rest sweetly IN
the Rest of the pure in heart, -

TRIBUTES TO GEO. P. sMoOTE

beiOW we Gull some choice press
extracts, from our exchanges, trib-
utes to our late distinguished lawyer,
literary genius and poet, George z.
Smoote:
All Arkansas will be grieved to
learn of the death of Hon. George p.
Smoote, who died suddenly Wednes-
day morning at his home in Pres
colt. He was a native of Hickman
county, Tenn, and G3 years of age.
AS lawyer, a jurist, poet and an
answering Democrat, ever ready to
perform yeoman service in the cause,
he was well-known all,over the State.
He was man of deep learning, and
a lifelong student who burned the
midnight oil. In his manners he was
eccentric; but even his eccentrici-
ties, which were innocent and inof-
fensive as his heart was pure, added
to the affectionate regard in which
all who kuew him held this gentlest,
this most amiable and kind-hearted
of men. - Arkansas Gazette.

The death Of Col. G.. L. Smoote
of Prescott, which was announced in
the Democrat of yesterday, viii
cause a feeling of sadness in many
hearts throughout Arkansas. He
was man of fine culture, a poet of
no mean gifts, true lover of nature,
a man of genial, kindly nature who
made the world better by having
lived in it, and who died respected
and beloved by all who knew him.
He was also lawyer of good ability,
but his tastes, inclinations and am
bitions led him IN other channels, In
the war between the States he was
brave soldier of the South, in peace
he was an honorable and useful citi-
zen, true to every obligation of a
public or private character. His
spotless life, and the memory of the
many beautiful traits that adorned
his character, will be a priceless
heritage to his family and friends
