How About It7

Fulton Couaty Banner.
 An old citizen of Hamburg, Ashley county, Ark, writes to Col. DuVall of Fort Smith that Hon. A. w. Files WAS not in the Confederate army. but that during the war he was circuit clerk of that county, which exempted him from service.
 If this be true. it comes with poor grace from Col. Files tO he attacking Col. Fishback as he does in all his speeches in the canvass.
 So far as we are concerned We do not regard as tests for office. now thirty years after the war. what was done or not done during those troublous times. but if they are to be made tests we echo the sentiments of the old Confederate soldiers when we say that they have more regard for one who openly opposed or fought them than for man who was physically able to go to war at time when the cOnfederacy needed men. but remained at home and drew the salary of good, fat office.
 Col. Files is d clever gentleman, but if he has been out of official position two years since he was 2l years old we don't remember it. "ThOse living in glass houses should not throw stones"

THE most appalling calamity that has ever Overtaken people befell the dwellers in Oil City and Huntsville. Pa, last Sunday. A creek running through these towns Overfowed it's banks and inundated the buildings, and then, to add to the horrors of the occasion, the surface of the flood was covered with oil from bursting tanks. This oil jg- nited. and xt once the stream of water became a stream of ire, licking mp buildings and and scorching and boil ing to death the wretched people who were struggling in the flooded streets. It was scene of agony never before equaled on this continent.

IN another column we reproduce from the Arkansas Gazette . letter written by Col. Met l.. Jones of Pine Bnf, which we commend to the con- siderssion of every thoughtful demo- crat. It is in gratifying contrast to the utterances of Dan w. Jones and eff possible) lesser lights, who asseverate they will not vote for the nominee of the party unless that nominee shall be their favorite. Col. Met l.. Jones in dicates himself to be the right sort of democrat. He believes the majority should rule, and that the man who re- fuses to submit to the action of the majority has no place in the Democratic party. Col Jones would have pre- ferred soEne other man than Fishback, but since . large majority of the dem- Ocrats of the state have said they de- sired Fishback for governor, he will enter the arena and do his best to se- cure the election of the nominee. How paeSne tho sctions of Dan w. Jones, Murphy and Files in comparison!

have they been swept away. Tho
French employed the Mic Mac In
dians of Nova Scotia to fight against
and exterminate them. According
to an account in the late issue of the
Transactions Of the Canadian Insti-
tute they were a peaceable and quiet
race, given 20 hunting and fishing. !
They used canoes made Of birch.
rind and of skins Of deer, like tho
Esqufmaux cayak. They had no pot
terry and used utensils Of birch rind
sewed together, but they employed
soapstone dishes as lamps, their form
being similar to those among tho
Esquimaux at the present day. They
carved deer and walrus horns and the
homes of the seal into ornaments,
which they wore on their dresses and
Ornamcnted their heads with combs.
The carvings are. in triangular pat
terms, and out of the large collections
in the museum at st. Johns there
are no two ornaments having the
same pattern. Their stone imple-
ments were more rudely constructed
than those of the western Indians.

a Canine Econom,.t.

Bruce was a farmers dog-a large
bulldog we'll along in years-and kept
for the good he had done rather than
for what was expected of him in the
future. But the following incident,
related by a son of Bruce's owner,
shows that he was not past useful
ness:
One morning in the early winter
the farmers good wife awokc to hear
the wind bowling terribly, and to. see
the snow flying all about the house.
1t was but the work of a moment to
run to the window, and we think all
good housewives will sympathize with
the poor woman when we say, of all
the clothes she had left on the line
the day before, not an article was in
sight! We will not attempt to pic
turc her CONSERVATION, but we will
say the old farmer himself was soon
out in the snow. While zealously
engaged in this snow searching. a,
whine from Bruce drew his attention.
AS this was something unusual, he
FASTENED to where the deg was lying
in the snow, and there found the
missing clothes. AS they had been
blown from the line-it was SO high
that he could not reach them-thc
dog had collected them, not missing
Il single piece, and using them as u
bed had prevented further flight.

When New Zealand s,nk,.

1t was formerly, say fifty years ago,
nothing uncommon for Il new island
to appear above or an old one to dis
appear beneath the waves of the
Pacific Ocean. Such occurrences
were sometimes noted as often as two
or three. times a year, and were SO
common as to hardly excite comment
among navigators and scientists. OF
late, however. the Pacific has been
pacific" indeed. 1t will be thirty
six years this coming summer since
the last island disappeared, and
exactly a quarter of IL century since
the last new popped up it's head
in the "greatest of oceans" But gc-
ologists argue that this is a suspicious
silence, an omen of some monstrous
catastrophe: that Dame Nature is
simply resting for a mighty effort.

The late Robert Toombs, of Geor.
sir, had a large practice at the bar,
but he always showed that he was
more concerned for the honor of his
profession than for it's rewards.
On one occasion he said to a client
who had stated his case to him:
"fes, you can recover in this suit,
but you ought not to do,so. This is
a case in which law and Justice are
on opposite Sides"
The client told him he would push
the case anyhow. /;
"Then," replied MI. Toombs, syou
must hire some one else to assist you
in your rascality."
AT another time a lawyer went to
him and asked what he should charge
Il client in a case to which Mr..
Toombs had just listened in the
court house.
WELL" said Toombs, 81 should
charge a thousand dollars. but you
ought to have five thousand, for you
did a great many things that l would

The curious fungus which is some.
times taken for an insect is a fungus
that roots itself in a caterpillar and
grows from it, feeding on the body of.
the insect. OF course in time the in.
sect dies, and t%he.fungus then perishes
as soon as it has exhausted the nutri-
ment in the body of the caterpillar.
The plant is Of the same nature q R
mushroom, and when 1t natures y
produces spores by which new plants
are propagated in the same way, at
taching themselves to any insect that
comes in contact with them in the
soil. These curious plants are used
az medicine by the natives of some
parts of Asia, where they are found
quite abundantly. The plant, when
dug out of the ground, has the ex-
'hausted and dried body of the insect
attached to it in the manner Of a
root, but it is easily distinguished by
its shape. The insect is filed with
the substance of the fungus and APP
pears as a part of the plant. A va
riety of beetle that is found in North
America is attacked by the same
kind of fungus; others are in Central
America, and Others in New Zealand.
In the aforementioned country the
fungus is very large and has all the
appearance OF a mushroom which is
eaten as food by the natives.

A Russian Prince.

"What is a Russian princc?:" asks a
correspondent of Free Russia. There
are two classes of princes in Russia.
The n class form part of the real
%aristocracy of the country, enjoying
the advantages of immense wealth,
and often discharging high civil or
military functions in the state. The
other class is made up of what are
known as "thinncd-out" princes oak
hudaliye knyazya), persons without
either landed property or indepcnd-
ent income. Foreigners tend, in
their ignorance of Russian affairs, to
confer upon the latter class the rank
of the former, yet the "thinncd-out"
princes are not only not "aristocrats,"
but are to be found gaining their
livelihood, like other common Rus
sian mortals, Il agents, clerks,
tradcsmen, and sea captains, etc.
