A DISAPPOINTMENT

We can readily appreciate and sym
pathise with the disappointment felt
b. Col. Whitaker and his associates
over the intensely disagreeable condi-
ton of the weather on yesterday, On
that day, for the second time party
of prominent railway men and capi-
talists, whom he had interested in the
extension of his Texarkana and Fort
Smith road, arrived in the city, en-
route to the present terminus OF that
road on tour of inspection along the
line already completed. The chief at
traction on the part of the road in
operation is she large saw mills, and
these were shut down on account of
the rains, and the country at large
wore its gloomiest air. Besides the
immense timber interest further along
the proposed line are mining inter
ests of great value and Importance
coal, antimony, etc. We trust these
gentlemen will accept the unfortunate
condition of affairs gracefully, charg-
ing the untoward event to an error in
the signal service department and al
low Col. Whitaker to persuade them
to bide with us few days longer at
least. When they may be able to
view our young city and its prosper
ous surroundings, otherwise than, as
sin a glass darkly," discovering at the
same time that our incipient floods
are wont to disappear as rapidly as
they sometimes appear. We are anx-
ious that so distinguished party of
visitors should see us at least "fairly"
if not favorably, hence SO "cloudy"
view as that taken by them of our city
and its surroundings, on yesterday,
cannot be otherwise than disappoint-
ing to to them and humiliating to
their entertainers

A Common Cake"

Some months since couple of
smoothe talking gents, made their ap-
pearance in our city representing
themselves as agents for the Southern
Copying CO., of Little Rock, Ark, and
Offering to enlarge portraits in crayon,
OIL pastel and India Ink, free of charge
as an advertisement of the excellent
work in this line done by their COM
pany. The conditions being that said
enlarged portraits were to be exhibit
ed publicly by the oN ner. and so cents,
"a mere trihe," paid to agent in ad-
vance to cover express charges, etc.
Receipts were given for each order
obtained, and in this way about one
hundred valued family pictures were
procured, together with the accom-
panyiug fifty cents in cash, from the
people of our city, who after waiting
way beyond the allotted time, wrote
to one of the many Little Rock banks,
to whom they had been collectively
referred, only to find that no such
company was known. We are only
surprised that our people should
prove so gullible. This offer of some-
thing for nothing is almost invariably
an insincerc and untrustworthy ono,
of which people should always be ex-
ceedingly skcptical. 1t will not 10 to

From Sire to Son.

On Monday, Dec. 10th, Milton and
Dolie Mobiles Comedy Co., will pre-
sent the above popular comedy. The
ST. Louis Post-Dispatch says of it:
"As the hero--a man whose bright
side of life at the commencement of
the piece is just dawning--Milton
Mobiles had trying task on his hands.
We have been accustomed to seeing
him in the lighter shades of character,
those in which the quaint and comical
element prevailed; but this time he
had q hero to portray--a man who
had determined to turn his back upon
the past, which contained but ono re-
deeming feature, and with the whole
of his remaining life restore what had
been for the time lost, and make
amends for the wrongs and shortcom-
ings connected with dissolute career.
The love he bore his wife and daugh-
ter, and the terrible determination to
avenge the death of one and the out
rage inflicted upon the other, required
physical as well as metaphysical power
which we should hardly have looked
for in comedian, but the task was
well, even surprisingly well, perform
ed. The audience were loud and en-
thusiastic in their tokens Of approval,
and the curtain descended on the sec
ond and third acts in q furor."

POLLEN GRAINS.
The Wonderful Provisions of Nature to

The Wonderful Provisions of Nature to
Insure Production.
A pollen grain OF maize or common
Inevan corn is about .004 OF an inch
in diameter which would al.ow IA. =
600. 900 to be packed withoro crushing
in a box with a capacity of but one
cubic inch. An anther of Indian corn
has as has BEEN determined by ap-
proximate measurements. a capacity
of about .00025 cubic inch; therefore.
if packed full (Which is never the
case) might contain fully B. 500 pollen
grains Two fresh anthers were
emptied out upon separate slides by q
microscopic and spread out as evenly
as possible and then by counting the
number Of pollen grains upon several
areas under the microscope, and then
deducting the proper calculations.
the number in one anther was
found to be /. 500 and for the other
over 5000. Allowing for err
rors in calculation the average
number of pollen grains for each an
Their was assumed to be in the neigh
borhood OF 2. 500. The same expert
menters by carefully counting the
number of stamens in the average
sized tassel OF corn, found it to con-
tain about z. 200. This multiplied by
2, 500. the numbers of pollen grains in
each anther. gives the number of pol
len grains in the average corn tassel
at Is. 600. 900!
In a medium-sized ear OF corn there
are 720 grains which. however. gives
the same number of pistils in
the young ear. Allowing however.
/. 900 pistils to each young ear and
two ears to each stock the pollen
grains are to the pistils what 9. 900 il
to 1; IN other words. for every pistis
of Indian corn to be fortified nature
has provided 5000 pollen grains

THE USE OF A ROLLER.
The Most Valuable Machine Employed In
Road Making.

The Most Valuable Machine Employed In
Road Making.
Every day it is becoming more
firmly established that a good road
roller is the most valuable piece OF
machinery employed in the road
makers art and. indeed. without il
neither can the foundation or subsoil
OF the roadway be made uniformly
hard and reliable nor the surface
layer be given that uniform compact
ness and solidity which give excel.
lence to the road and insure per-
petual economy in the cost OF main
tenance and repairs. To one who has
seen a heavy road-roller used in COM
pacting the soil OF a now roadway
writes Isaac b. Potter in the Century,
these facts will be very evident If q
length of one thousand yards in an
ordinary earth road be cut to an ex-
act and uniform grade one foot below
the original surface of the road, it
will be found in most cases that the
new surface thus exposed will prese Mt
an appearance which, TO the or
binary observer, is OF a uni
form material and even hardness
from end to end; but the passage of u
roller weighing from ten to fifteen
tons over this new surface will soon
disclose the defects and soft spots To-
Gated at irregular intervals through
out the length of the work; and as the
process of rolling continues the uni
formity OF the grade will disappear.
and what at first appeared to be toll
erably satisfactory surface will de-
velop into a succession OF humps holes
and undulations. In the using of the
roller in actual work these depressions
and soft spots are carefully filled and
brought to the line OF the required
grade. while the successive passing
of the heavy roller over the filling
gives to the entire road that form and
consistency which is SO essential to
every good highway.
