From n Monroe County Farmer.

From a Monroe county rarmer'
 Gov. Fishback recently received the following letter from prominent farm CT in Monroe county:
 Gor Fishback. Little Rock, Ark:
 DEAR SRI feel it my duty to write to you. giving the condition of the people in this coun- try. as well as myself For the past several years we have not made any crops to speak Of, and all on account of the overfows, which come regularly every spring, and especially for the years 1892 and 1893 which prevented the people in our immediate section of country, from making any cotton crops at all and at the pest only a late corn crop, and as they dc pend mostly on cotton crop it has left them in a destitute condition-that is the laboring class-and the land owners are in bad fix, as the overflow has rendered the land worthless. All this has happened since the completion of the levees on the Mississippi side of the river. which dates back to 1882. and as they were raised the water has risen here in proportion. Since that time. or in the last few years. sur veying party has passed through here. and the engineers say the raising of the levees on the opposite side of the river 10 their present height has caused the water to rise seven feet higher than it did in former years, and we think we can prove conclusively that such is the case.
 Is there no way by which we can get relief. Or be compensated, or protected hy ievees built by the government for the loss of our landy For since we can not make, or raise any crops on them they are worthless.
 In conclusion I will say a good many of my friends have asked me to write this letter, thinking it might be the means of getting you interested in our condition, and have you show us road out of our present situation remain,

How Roper Was Released.

News from Muskogee, I. T., explains the mystery surrounding the arrest and release of Roper, the murderer of Sheriff Byler.
 Two men claiming to be from Arkansas put in an appearance at Muskogee. went to see Roper. and stoutly declared that he was not the man wanted. and that the officers had got hold of the wrong man altogether. Roper was at once discharged and. of course disappeared. It subseQ uently transpired that the two men were eonfederates of Roper. and had been sent to Muskogee by his friends to play the part they did. that is to hoodwink the officers and secure Roper's re- lease. It has since transDired that Roper was one of the gang who robbed the Bentonyille bank. This will explain why many people in north Arkansas believe Roper to be still in custody at Muskogee. The conflicting reports sent out from that place concerning Ropers discharge served to mystify the public. The matter is now clear.

leaving just one day before President
Cleveland opens the exhibition. Ac-
cording to this mornings dispatches,
not more than one third of the pro-
missed exhibits have as yet appeared

Quakers and Quaker customs are to be
found just as they were in the days Of
good old William Penn. You have no
idea how odd some of these customs are.
A few days ago a New York lady was
travelling through one of these little
villages, and. being tired, she stopped
at an old brick farmhouse to rest. I'm
mediately there came out q little girl,
dressed all in gray, who invited her to
come in the house and have a cup of
tea and some cakes. When the lady
had partaken of her refreshment and
turned to go, she offered the old-fash-
toned maid in gray some candy out of a
sweetmeat box which she carried at her
belt

one bashfully. II thank thee-but

She put out her hand. as II yielding to

any until thee comes some other day.

EDUCATION OF WOMEN.
A Striking Illustration of the Broadened
Spirit of the Age.

spirit oil the Age
The incident Of the bestowal by Co
lumoia, at its recent commencement,
of the degree Of bachelor of arts upon
eight young women of Barnard college,
affords striking illustration of the
broadened spirit of the age as to wom-
ans capabilities and her right to an
equal chance in every sphere of activ-
ity and usefulness. The world is rap
idly outgrowing the old-time conceit of
woman, which subordinated her to the
csprices and authority of the stronger
sex, and deprived her of the use of
natural opportunities of development;
and it is Of the proud distinctions Of
American institutions OF learning that
they have been foremost in the achieve
ment Of this good result And no in
stitution has been more prompt to rec
ognize, and respond to, the enlarged
conceptions of the time in this particu-

privileges of advanced education, and
so places within their reach. in every
sphere. the prizes of honorable ambi-
