 Reporter-Who will be the next speaker of the house, Mir. Peel?
 Mr. Peel cannot say of course, but the contest, in so far as the Southern members are concerned, will be between Mills and Crisp, with the chances in favor of Crisp.

the arrival of the party. A moment later the ushers, all clad in regulation dress, formed in line and commenced the march to the altar, Hessrs. $. A. Meyers, Nj. Rosenthal, Nj. Andrews, E..

 Then came the bridal party proper, headed by Miss Rebecca Lowenstein, maid of honor. Following were Abe Salnelson and Mrs. c. SamelsOn, brother and mother respectively of the local groom. Mir. and Mrs. Jacob Cans, father and mother of the fortunate man from Little Rock, immediately pre- ceded Elias Lowenstein, who bore on either arm daughter wearing the ap- parel of bride. As soon as the altar was reached the grooms joined the brides, and, standing in semi circle facing the rabbi, the impressive Jewish marital ceremony was performed. The answers of all four contracting parties were clear and distinct. After the bless ing had been pronounced, the newly married couples were quickly driven to the Gayoso, where reception was held.
 The two couples will spend the sum- mer together in Europe. They leave some time to-day for Washington, and while East will visit the large cities. On the 9th of next month they sail on the Gaseoyne, landing at Havre.

The Pretty Hsvsmsyer Girls.

The lovely grand-daughters of old Papa Havemeyer, girls who will bring to the man they marry the comfortable dowry of $l. 900, ,000 each, are devoted Baptists, and special pstronesses of half dozen big relief organizations in their church, says New York writer. In the spring, when their yacht is in commission, they fill the big white craft to the rail with poor babies and mothers, fine dinner and band and go for sail up and down the sound. Twice each summer this is their custom, and though Lent is not imposed on their church, they observe it only by extra care of their charges.

Rural Argentine.

All the country traversed by the rail. road lines is devoted to pastoral and agricultural industries and the land scape, with the exception of the hilly district of the Sierra de Tandil and the Sierra de la Ventana, is always the same-bare pampa, with stretches of marshes and small lakes abounding in wild fowl As for the estancias, towns. villages and colonies, when you have seen one you have seen all. and all are equally unpicturesque.
 The life, too, has become less fertile in picturesque incidents since the in- closure of the land with wire fences, which makes the management of the herds much simpler, and enables the estancieros to dispense with the guard of mounted gauchos, who are now to be seen only in the very distant interior. At present the majority of the popula- ton has no particular character, being composed of Italian and French immi- grants, of Basques with red or blue cloth caps, and few native gauchos with broad belts constellated with sil- yer coins, long ponchos and wide ori- ental trousers like petticoats, generally black, but sometimes striped with brill iant colors.
 Nowadays, however, the gaucho is losing his individuality, abandoning his peculiar costume, and becoming assim- lntn fx. Aoh tto fA swarms of miscellaneous Europeans who have peopled the modern Argen- tine, and made the hundreds of colo nies and towns that have sprung into ex- istence within the past ten years.

 Thus the child began, and was stopped short by her mother.

 Little Lottie knew full well the terrors of that punishment. What an eternity it seemed to her to stand that length of time with her face to the wall, not allowed to turn around, or speak, till told that the time was out; for always after about three minutes she felt sure the fifteen minutes must be passed, and that she, forgotten, must stand there always! So, cautious Lottie re- treated with her doll out of mammals 8 hearing, and it being already late in the day, escaped condemnation.
 When the little nightgown had been donned, and mamma said ten derly: "Now, darling, say your lit- tie prayer.'' Lottie failed to notice how the catcher had been caught on the "Now," but answered:

HARN IS DEAD.
The Death of the Convict is not Believed
 by Dardaneiie People.
CORONER BONDS RECORD.
An Inquest was Held Over the Remains and Dr. Bond was Certain That the Body was That of
 HarD.

The following article appears in The Morrilton Headlight:
 "Our readers remember that after long and hotly contested trial at the last term of our circuit court Charles Harn was convicted of manslaughter and sent to the penitentiary for five years. Last week the information was given out that Charley Harn had died very suddenly in the state peni- tentiary. Friends from Dardanelle took charge of the remains and con- veyed them to that place for burial. On arriving there it was stated that the body had so far decomposed as to prevent opening the coffin for friends to view the remains. This fact aroused suspicion, and 1t was boldly hinted by many that the coffin did not contain the body of Charles Harn, and those in charge did not dare to suffer the exposure that would follow opening the coffin. The general public has somehow be- come incredulous about the matter, and many times has the question been asked: 'Is Harn really dead?'
 "The last legislature repealed the law requiring the coroner of Pulaski county to hold an inquest over all eonvicts who die in the penitentiary, still it would be impossible for any prisoner to escape by feigning death without conspiracy with the prison officials. It seems hardly probable that such could be, but if there was a conspiracy to release Harn by any such dodge it calls for investigation and punishment to the full extent of the law.
 "A mysterious cloud of uncertainty rests over the matter which could be easily removed by publishing the certificate of the penitentiary physi- clan, stating the fact and cause of death.
 " Is Charley Harn dead?'"
 The following was taken from the coroner's record:
 c. D. Harn, of Conway county, was sent up March 21, 1891, for five years for manslaughter.
 The testimony showed that Harn had been at work at an adjacent camp and on April IS was taken sick and sent to the hospital.
 Dr. c. M. D. Cantrell, penitentiary physician, said he was suffering from malarial poisoning. He improved until the goth, then re- lapsed with marked symptoms of congestion of the brain, and died April 21.
 An inquest was held April 21, and the verdict of the jury was that the deceased came to his death from congestion of the brain.
 Dr. Bond was acquainted with Harn, and says it was Harms body that was sent to Dardanelle.
 The last legislature did not repeal the law requiring the coroner of Pulaski county to hold inquest over all prisoners who die in the penitentiary, and a statement to that effect does the state great injustice. A bill was intro. duced repeating the law, but was de- feated.

RECIPES OF LONGEVITY.

Freedom from care is about the only incidental advantage that has been universally recognized as a factor of longevity. About heredi- tary predispositions there is no doubt, but the comparative benefits of cold and warm climates are still controverted, and the possibility of averting premature death by ab- stemiousness has been altogether de- nied by some physicians who claim that tendency to consumption and kindred disorders can be counter acted only by generous diet. Teachers, parsons, pensioned officers and well-to-do farmers have attained longevity in all parts of the civilized world, but their health theories differ amazingly. Baron de Wsldeck de- scribes his century of physical vigor to the love for fresh air; Roman pedagogue to the ''respitory atmosphere of young females;" gaunt Dutch sailor to the use of tobacco in the form of quids rather than cigars; the histo- risn Fontenelle, to his dread of late hours. Having worked himself into fever in his eighteenth year by midnight studies, he ever afterward retired to solitary but comfortable couch at 9 p. m., and divided his journeys into short trips rather than deviate from that rule. ITO what do you chiefly attribute your contin- ued health?" the Emperor Augustus asked centeDarian whom he found romping and joking with party of young athletes. "Intus mulso, foris oleo," said the old fellow-'tOil out side, must outside" /" i.e., ointment of olive oil and unfermented wine for the inner man. Marshal Soult lived eighty-three years and died under the impression that he could have held the fort ten years longer if he had not given up horseback riding at the advice of his physicians. .-Pnilad el- phia Times.

The Musical At Home Not Fashionable.
 The musical "At homen having been carried to the extreme of ex. travagance, now promises to fall into desuetude, to the great delight of hostesses and guests as well. A vivacious little society woman, speak ing of the new departure, whi,h permits the writing of 'sNu music" in the corner of the at-home card in place of the familiar announcement, said she was decidedly glad of it. ''If I give musicale must squander fortune on the best professional talent l can procure. must send a carriage for the ladies, flowers and an escort. I must be more courteous to them than to my very best friend, and entertain them quite as much as they entertain me.

An oId-Tims Editor.

A legal friend reminds me of old Col Rogers, who published The Boston Journal before the war. He was terribly conservative, and his paper was delivered almost entirely to annual subscribers, although a few copies were on sale at the book stores. One day when the colonel came down town he was mortified to see boy with some Journals under his arm, shouting out, Journal, four centsl Journali" Dazed for minute, he called the boy into 8 doorway and asked; "How many Journals have you there?" Told, he took out his purse and paid for them all and ordered the boy to run home and never to buy any Journals again. He was so scandalized by the occurrence that he said he felt sl- most ashamed to meet his business acquaintsnces for weeks. Times changed when the war broke out, and The Journal went on the street like other papers. rs.-Boston Letter.

NOTABLE DOUBLE WEDDING.
Marriage of Sol Cans and Esther Lowen- stein and Isaac samelson and Celia Lowenstein at
 Ngamnhfa


 stein and Isaac samelson and
 Celia Lowenstein at
 Memphis.
 An event of more than ordinary im- oortance in Jewish society circles took place last evening, says The Memphis Commercial, when Rabbi Samiield ut- tered the words that united in wedlock Isaac Samelson anu Celia Lowenstein and Sol Cans and Esther Lowenstein. The ceremony was performed in the temple in the presence of an audience that filled every seat and aisle-way The brides are sisters, daughters of Elias Lowenstein, of this city. Mir Samelson is a well known resident of Memphis, and Mir. Cans is reputable citizen of Little Rock.
 The double wedding has been an all- absorbing topic of conversation since the betrothals were announced last winter, and in fact, no event In which marriage vows are made has excited more interest than this for many year. The invitations to the ceremony, which was set for 80 o'clock. were issued but to the friends of the contracting parties and they filled the place of worship 10 overfiowing. Long before the hour set for the performance of the marriage rite the street in front of the Temple was blocked with carriagcs, and in the edifice seats were at a premium. The audience was fashion able one, fully one half of the ladies being in, evening costume. On either side of the center aisles white satin ribbon was Stretched and the front fifteen seats werSp reserved by similar means for relatives and immediate friends. The altar was decorated with palms, Easter lilies, sLQilax and roses, they forming perfect bank and almost screening the base from View.

OF the aggregate population of the
United StacS fifty years ago only
little more than forty per cent. inhabi-
ted the cities. The ratio had increased
from something more than three per
cent. at the time of the establishment
of the government the half century be-
fore As the most remarkable i'll
stance of rapid increase of population,
New York had only $1,000 inhabitants
in 1890, and in 1870 the number had
grown to $4,000. The population
of this city, asserts the Mail and En-
press, is now about 600, 900, and the
ratio of population in the cities has in
creased from twelve to thirty per cent.
of the total, or moro than 100000
out of the grand aggregate of 60, j,OOO,-
900 of population in the whole coun-
try. With this most astonishing ratio
of increase of population in cities, the
accumulating of enormous wealth has
maintained an equally rapid pace.

Recent statistics show an enormous
development of the frozcn-meat trade
between New Zealand and England.
In 1882 the number of frozen sheep
exported to England was only $3.50.
In 1890 the number had risen to
/ ,5G2, ,G47. The transit charges now
amount to only l-Sd. per pound, and
it is probable they will soon be re-
duCed to the even penny. Curiously
enough, the frozen-meat trade in
Australia has not expanded in any
thing like the same degree, but lead
ing Sydney journal remarks that
"what with the steady reduction in
the cost Of freezing and freights, the
spread of the taste for frozen mutton
at home, and the inevitable increase
of our tlocks and herds, we have good
reason to see i'll the food requirements
of England and Europe an almost un-
touched and incxhaustible mine of
