n,rds That Are All Feathers.

The biggest of all really powerful living
birds are, | believe, the wandering alba
tross and the South American condor-for
the roc | reject outright as worthy only OF
The most restricted Arabian and nocturnal
ORTHODOXY. Seen on the wing, or even
with the wings expanded merely, both
these great existing birds have most ma
jestic and colossal appearance. But feath-
ers in such cases are very deceptive; they
make fine birds out of very small bodies.
For example, our well known little En-
glish swift, which looks SO imposing in
flight as it passes overhead with pinions
poised. is hardly as big when plucked as a
mans top thumb joint, and weighs only
half an ounce So, too, the albatross,
though its expanse of wing is said to ex-
coed that of any other known bird, amount
ing sometimes TO nearly ten feet from tip to
tip. does not average in weight more than
fifteen pounds, which is just exactly the
poulterer's statement for my Christmas
turkey.
As for the condor, while he spans from
wing to wing some eight feet, his length
from beak to tail is only three and half,
and / doubt if he would pluck iAto any
thing corresponding to his magnificent
outer show, though am bound to admit
that have never personally tried the un-
pleasant experiment.-Cornhill Magazine.

Professor Putnam, secretary of the Amer
lean Association, according to Popular Sci
ence News, recently made an interesting
discovery which furnishes fresh evidence
in support Of the theory that man IN Amer
ica was contemporaneous with the mann
moth. In a communication to the Boston
Society of Natural History, Professor Put
nam describes shell found by him Ia the
state of Delaware. Upon a portion OF TINS
shell is scratched the rude outline OF what
without doubt represents mammoth.
The shell was found under peat. and near
BY were human bones, charcoal, bones OF
animals and stone implements.

PettuS--Fo oibre.

"Wednesday evening the parlors of the Gayoso Hotel of Memphis were the scene of a beautiful nuptial ceremony ill which the future life and consum- mate happiness of one of Forrest City s fairest daughters were committed to the continual keeping of gentleman of noble worth and unimpeachable purity, the contracting parties being Mir. G. B. Pettlts and Mrs Stuart F.. Folbre, both of this city. The we'd ding was a private one, there being but a few sepcial friends in attend ancc. The attendants were Misses Porter Rice. Clara May. Lena Sneed and Anna Ward; Messrs. k. l.. Pet tus. Il. k. Ward, j. W. Williams and II. R. Neolett. The bridal party left Forrest City "Wednesday morning. At Memphis conveyances were awaiting their arrival, and they were driven to the hotel, where rooms had been en- gagged and where the party dined and made merry dulng the day. Promptly at 1 o'clock ail things were made ready. A few chosen friends in Mem phls had already gathered to witness the conSummation of plighted vows. The bride and groom stood in the central portion of the parlor. while the attendants occupied their respective places on either side Dr l.. C. Dan iels, pastor of the First Presbvterian church of Memphis. conducted the ser vices and spoke the words which made these two loving hearts one for life.
 After the ceremony the bridal party were driven to the depot and took the train for Forrest City. A sumptuous and tempting repast was spread in the dining hall If the Forrest City House and all enjoyed the delicacies prepared
 The happy couple will make their future home in this city. The bride ls an exemplary lady of numerous accom- pllShments and many lovely traits of character, all of which combine to make her become endeared to all who know her. and to make him to whom she has given her heart and hand for safe keeping snperlatlvely happy.
 The groom is a gentleman of high moral worth and manly bearing, and is dowered with high social and per sonal qualifications. On the very threshold of this new and intimate re- lation We join host of warm friends in wishing tbem God-speed and long, happy, joyous and prosperous voyage through life. If the auguries do not belle themselves We bespeak for MT. Pettus and his happy bride the fullest frultion of their highest hopes and most earnest anticipations. and the fond realization of all the human heart holds dear. May their happy wedding morn be but the dawning of long, cloudless marital day, and the distant evening of life the bloom of life's | sweetest felcities.

Why, I've been to Texas and am returning with penknife and pencil" Upon inquiry we ascertained that he had removed his family to Texas a year or 80 ago. Texas was not as his fancy painted it., and sickness and repeated failure of crops soon exhausted his means, and selling the remainder, he bundled up and was going back to Mississippi And so it is, from year to year, the stream of immigration passes through our state with it's eyes set toward the so-called Mecca of the Southwest many to return bankrupt and disgurted while the fertile land of Arkansas on all sides cries aloud for the shovel and the hoe" Our board of immigration exists only in name, for if only a fifth of the enterprise as exhibited by Texas were shown, our hills and valleys would soon be blooming with fruits and flowers and cotton and corn, and none would leave, considering himself lucky with penknife and pencil.

A PUBLIC CALAMITY.

The action of the general assembly in refusing to make an appropriation to represent the state i'll the World $ Columbian Exposition is more than d misfortune. It is d public calamity. The Democrat is certain that 1t repre- .sents the overwhelming sentiment of the people of Arkansas when it de- clares that this most stupendous mis- take of the legislature must be correct ed, as far as possible, and at the earliest possible moment. To this end we suggest that Gov. Eagle call state convention, to be composed of repre- sentatives from every county ill the state, selected by the people in mass meetings. in order that the state may be properly represented at Chicago in 1893. The Democrat confidently ap- peals to the press of the state-always the friend of every public enterprise to keep up the fight for this enterprise, which has so much of promise to our great state. We appeal to every patriotic and public spirited citizen of Arkansas. without regard to party politics, creed or condition, to come to the rescue of the state in it's hour of need. By united effort, by earnest. persistent action on the part of the press and representative citizens we can, to great extent, break the force of the cruel blow inflicted by the legis- lature and place our grand old state in proper light before the world Arkansas Democrat.
 We gladly lend our aid to the Demo- crat in correcting the great mistake made by the general assembly. That the public will respond to the call for state convention there is no doubt, but it needs little time for them to recover from the surprise as to the action of the so-called representatives of the people. No estimate can be placed upon the value of a representa- tion of our state at the Worlds Fair, but it is easy to calculate the damage resulting from non-representation Let the county of St. Francis take the initiative step and endorse the call in manner that will well express tho sentiment of Eastern Arkansas.

Tho Colum bian CycIopedla.

The Columbian Cyclopedia is the new name and new form of what has heretofore been known as Alden's Manifold Cyclopedia, and which has won great popularity by it's high merit, combined with it's amazingly low price. The Columbian Cyclopedia will com prise 32 volumes, of about 800 pages each, (the Manifold was 40 volumes Of GAO pages each) being about equal in size to Appleton's Cyelopedia, and about 50 per cent. larger than John sons. The entire set will contain about 1000 illustrations; it is very handsomely printed and bound, and like the Manifold, is almost fabulously cheap, the entire set being furnished in cloth binding for S25, with easy in- stallment terms to those who want them. Of course, subscriptions to the Manifold will be completed in uni form style with the early volumes de- livered.

The Spring,

or all seasons in the year, is the one for making radical changes in regard to health. During the winter the system becomes to certain extent clogged with waste and the blood loaded with impuri- ties, owing to lack of exercise, close con tinement in poorly ventilated shops and homes, and other causes. This is the cause of the dull, sluggish, tired feeling so general at this season, and which must be overcome. or the health may be en- tirely broken down. Hoods SarsapariIla has attained the greatest popularity all over the country as the favorite spring medicine. It expels the accumulation of impurities through the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and skin, gives to the blood the purity and quality necessary to good health and overcomes that tired feeling.
