the following account of the disas- trous result of the establishment of the real estate bank in Arkansas, over forty years ago.
 We once concocted scheme in Arkansas to get money for the peo- pie. They had lands in plenty, but no money with which to improve them. We issued state bonds and borrowed money upon them, and then loaned the money to the people upon their lands. Less than five hundred rich and influential men got the entire benefit of this scheme, and today, more than fifty years aftcrward, the grandehil- dren of the people who authorized that scheme but who received not a farthing for it's benefits, are paving taxes year after year to meet the debt incurred by their folly. Pru- dent men, who foresaw the conse- qnences of this departure from dem ocratic usages. admonished the peo- pie of the result; but they would not listen to advice. Every man thought there was a chance for him to get some money, which he sorely needed. As usual, he didn't ret money, but got left, and his grand children have not yet finished paying for the experience. "
 The Guard has before made use of this same illustration to show the folly and danger of having the gov ernment usurp the private functions of the banker and lend money on land or other security. In every such instance the favored few got the money and the masses, who are benefited in no way by it, must be taxed to pay il back. This land loan scheme is no experiment. It has always been proved a disastrous failure.- Batesville Guard.

A TWILIGHT SCENE.

sweet sumner lowly dropped her banner down In mute surrender to fair autumn's crown The hills in purple state rear up their heads, While graceful illies nod in garden beds The signing grasses wave in evening breeze, Beneath the waving branches of the trees Far in the west, upon his couch of gold, The glorious sun in majesty behold! Cloud upon cloud, impearled with richest sheen, Rolls on to add new boautc, to the scene To deck his bed with gems of color rare, And tint the sky with hucs diyincly fair Mar sounds faintly now the ycspcr bell; Earth seems to sink beneath peaceful spell While scarcely do the flowers their fragrance cast In languorous sweetness until the hour is past; The birds low twittcring in it, downy nest Proclaims the hour of natures peaceful rest.

PRESCOTT NEVADA COUNTY ARKANSAS THURSDAY OCTOBER

and she went speeding out of the harbor in the keen, bright, winter morning.
 Stormy days followed, however, and Georgia, never very good sail or, was dreadfully ill.
 The man so strangely made her husband attended her as faithfully and tenderly as a woman, but as the weather cleared, and she recovered from her sea-sckness, he resumed his former relations, never entering the cabin without knocking, and treat ing her always with the utmost re- spect.
 But the voyage was ended at last.
 Brtton found a suit of rooms for his wife and neat, quiet woman to attend her, and then he announced his intention of returning at once to America.
 "l have given up the command of my ship" he said, "and return by steamer and take steps to recover your property from the hands of your former guardian. When have succeeded l will return to you.
 He was standing, hat in hand, be- fore her,
 Georgia glanced up at him rather shyly.
 She was only girl, after all barely l?-and very innocent and unsophisticated.
 She was thinking how manly and handsome Capt. Britton was.
 His eyes were fixed wistfully upon her face.
 He looked pale through all his sunbrown.
 Of sudden she wondered if he considered her proposal to him un- maidenly, and swift and burning blush suffused her face.
 "Have you any directions to give me?" he asked, hesitatinglv,
 None whatever, she replied. II am utterly ignorant of law, and leave everything to you, Only re- member half the money is yours. "
 His eyes flashed in quick anger.
 "Pll have none of itl" he declared hotly. And l wish to heaven you had not q dollar to your name, '"
 And why should you wish that:" she asked plaintively.
 "Because. poor and friendless you would need me. Because then l should dare to tell you"
 He caught himself abruptly, and turned to go
 "Good-hye, he said, hoarscly.
 She ran across the room, and laid a detaining hand upon his arm,
 "Coward!' she whispered, softly blushing, smiling, faltering.
 He read the happy truth in her lovely face.
 He caught her in his arms, and bent his lips to hers.
 My wife" he said "My sailor" she responded, with a happy laugh. And so she crossed the ocean once more, and my readers may be inter ested to know that with very little difficulty she gained possession of her own property, and that her strange marriage resulted most happily.

A QUEER EL0PEMENT.

Morning was breaking over the great city,
 The east wind blew strong salt breeze in from the harbor.
 Last nights furry of snow was turning black with the mud of the i gutters, and a general look of dirt and discomfort prevailed the narrow street which led up from the ship i ping.
 l An old cronc, with tattered black shawl over her frowzy head, hurrying around the corner, with a black bot tie in her hand, and a disrcputabe look ragman, with tipsy hand-cart, were about the only living objects which met Georgia Dalton's eyes as she rode from the steam landing in her Guardian's brougham.
 But as it swung around corner a group of boys, who were on the verge of rough-and-tumble fight, lodged and ran to the sidewalk.
 Georgia leaned out ostensible to look after them. ] Her Guardian, erect and watch ful in his corner, did not know that she held, crumpled in one hand, 2 sltp of paper, on which she had scrawled a few lines in her state. room.
 As her large eyes swept the walk they fell upon man who stood close to the cnrbing, smoking cigar.
 He was young and brawny, with q l pair of bold blue eyes, closely crop. ped brown hair under a blue cap, and q long, curling, golden brown moustachc.
 He looked what he was-a frank and fearless man, and a sailor.
 As he met Gcorgla's wildly implor ing gaze she dropped the little sliI of paper to the ground, and ther threw herself back into the corner of the carnage with sigh,
 Capt. Al Brttou, master of tho ship Sea Gulf, waited until the broug ham had whirled about another cor ner, when two strides took him to tn, tiny slip of paper.
 He opened it and read these words:
 My guardian is my jailer. an in a strange country, without friends Help mel"
 An address following-presumabl that of the guardians home.
 All the chivalry in Al britton nature damned to the surface, an, the promise of an adventure suited him.
 If can serve her in any way, will, " he said, thruSting the note in to his pocket.
 But ev en he-darc-devil as h was, hero of many exciting adven lures on sea and land was not pre- pared for what followed.
 It was afternoon before he found chance to hunt up the address writ ten on the paper slip.
 He found the house-a great gloomy mansion on one of the gloo miest streets, and was sauntering bl with the most careless air imag ina ble, when a voice-her voice-calle' to him through the closed blinds o lower front window.
 At once he wheeled about, leaning his shoulder against the building, an' planting his feet sturdily apart, he pulled an account book from his pocI< ct, and appeared to be looking l over.
 Pm listening he said cautiously What is your trouble, and how cal l help you"'
 My father died Tn England year ago" said the girl in low, hur ried tones. My guardian has con trol of my property which amonnt to nearly 5l ,00l 900. l do not conn m possession of it for two years un less marry.

Has Proved a Failure.

In his recent speech at Gurdon, Col. Fishback illustrated the folly of the proposed land loan scheme with
Nevada County picayune., 1891-10-29

Here was an adventure indeed.
 His native recklessness asserting itself, he replied:
 'Nery well. Fortunately 1 am a single man. But as am master of a ship which sails from Liverpool to- morrow morning you will be obliged to go with me. If you can escape from the house tonight at any time, l will be here to take you aboard the ship with me. Early in the morning 1 will have parson aboard"
 At midnight, then. For heavens sake do not fail me. Think how des- perate must be my strait, when l throw myself upon a strangers mer- cy."
 Her voice was broken and husky, and Capt. Britton responded with some warmth:
 II will not fail you, lady and you shall never regret that you trusted Al Britton."
 With that he folded up his note- book and walked away.
 Just as the city clocks were strlk- ing the hour of midnight Georgia Dalton crept stealthily down the winding stairs of the gloomy old house and left herself out of the kitchen door.
 She hurried through the rear gate, and looked with wildly beating heart for her rescuer.
 Had he failed her?
 No-as she closed the gates a stall wart figure emerged from the shad- ows.
 She was trembling from head to foot, and he drew her hand within his arm, with word of encourage ment.
 Just around the corner hack awaited them.
 Half an hours ride brought them down to one of the city wharves.
 As the chill night air from the water blew into her face she shiver- ed, and a desolate sense of her youth and helplessness swept over her.
 She looked appearingly at the man whom twenty-four hours before she l had never seen.
 He seemed to read her thoughts, and met her gaze with honest eyes.
 Do not fear,,' he said, gently. "Upon my honor, no harm shall come to you if can prevent it.
 He took her hand, and led her across the wharf, where some narrow steps ran down to a little boat, in which two men waited silently.
 Britton seated her in the stern, be- side himself, and said, in low voice:
 "Pull away, boys"
 "Ay, ay, sir ,' was the response, as the craft was pushed off and went gliding out into the harbor.
 In short time the Sea Gulf was reached, and Georgia was escorted to a snug cabin,
 "This is your stateroom, said Britton, throwing open another door. Make yourself at home Miss"
 My name is Georgia Dalton she cried.
 Miss Dalton. No one shall en- ter this cabin without your permis- sIOn. Parson Gale will he aboard early tomorrow morning to splice the rope for us."
 "To what?" queried Georgia, in wide eyed amazement.
 Tie the matrimonial knot, " amended Britton, with the utmost gravity, although laughing twinkle danced in his blue eyes.
 "Oh, yes," returned Georgia, pal ing little, but quite determined,
 He bade her goodnight, then, and went away.
 Georgia, throwing herself upon a lounge Tn the cabin, presently fell into iitful slumber.
 When she awoke daylight was struggling into the cabin windows and some body was knocking at the door.
 In moment!" responded Geor; gia.
 And hurrying into the stateroom she bathed her face, smoothed her hair, and opened the door for Brit ton to enter.
 A tall, pale young man in black coat accompanied him, and was in-
