RETIRED PRESIDENTS.
What Some of Them Did After Leav-
ing the White House.

When a man had reached the toT
round of political preferment and was
called down by the limitations of the
tenure of Office, it was formerly nc
small problem for him to decide what
to do with himself
Washington, jefferson and Madison
returned to their farms and ended
their days in comparative isolation,
Jefferson thus spent seventeen peace
ful years, aad Madison nineteen years.
The elder Adams, Pierce, Buchanan
and Hayes became practical recluses.
John Quincy Adams set the first ex-
ample of stepping from the presidents
chair into active politics. He was
leader of the lower house for nineteen
years, dropping dead at his post at the
ripe age Of 81. Some of the ex-presi-
dents took TO travel after their retire
ment Polk was stricken with the
cholera, but other ex-presidents were
more fortunate. Grants tour around
the world, made notable by many an
honor, is part of the history of our
time.
President Cleveland's sturdy De-
mocracy forbade his shelving himself,
and he returned to his profession. II
is said that ex-President Harrison will
do the same, and it is good resolu-
ton.
There is no reason in this age, when
men have dropped wigs and knee
breeches, why a president who has
served his term should be any more
than an honored American citizen,
ready to resume his regular occupation
so long as his health and strength hold
out.
Great men were scarce in the days
of Jefferson and Madison, when there
were no common schools and prefer
ment was above the range Of most
plain people. Greatness is now with
in the reach of all. We have ceased
to make fetish out of it, and retir-
Ing president has no reason for posing
as anything more than favored citi-
zen, who is not ashamed to again hang
out the old shingle that started him on
the road to the White House.-Boston
Globe.

One by One.

A peculiar fate seems recently TO
have overtaken everything in the
shape Of a defauter who has tried the
once favored and successful plan of
seeking more congenial climes abroad,
resulting almost invariably in capture
and forced return or in u voluntary
surrender on the part of the fugitive.
Another illustration Of this truth is
the experience of A. A, Cadwallader,
the absconding president Of the Su-
perlor National Bank Of West Super
ior, Wis, who is passenger on the
steamer Seguranac, due to arrive in
West Superior this week, from Rio de
Janerio. He is the prisoner Of Capt
Henry, one Of the detectives employed
by the American Surety Company,
and who has been hunting for Cad
wallader since last November. Cad
wallader kited checks for $4,000 and
disappeared few days before his
peeulations were discovered.

AN IMPORTANT DEAL.

The heaviest and by far most i'm
portant real estate deal made in or
near Texarkana during the past sever
al years is that which has recently
been closed between Col. w. L. Whit
aker, President of the Texarkana &
Fort Smith railway, as grantor and the
rich syndicate of Kaneas City, Mo, as
grantee, in which one hundred and
seventy acres of land lying Just be-
yond the western suburbs of the city
was sold in consideration of the sum
of thirty thousand dollars. Imme-
diately after the consummation of the
trade became known, an effort was
made by the manager of one of our
most important industries to secure
ten acres of this land, which adjoins
that of his company. The price asked
him therefor was just six hundred
dollars per acre, or an average in
crease of over five hundred per cent.
on their investment. The party who
desired TO purchase this small portion
Of land from the new owners wanted
same as an addition to his company's
site, for the purpose Of increasing and
extending its plant. While the pur-
pose of the recently acquired owners
is to use the land as sites for new and
important industries, which, it is
stated Oh excellent authority, will be
located at this point in the very near
future. The entire transaction has
been kept close secret, and it is only
now after all is completed save the
final preparation Of the abstract of
title, that we have been enabled to
gather the facts and details Of the
most interesting and important trans
action. 1t Will be remembered that
the representatives of the syndicate
are the same gentlemen who visited
this section several months since on a
prospecting tour looking forward to
the establishment of an agricultural
colony of their countrymen in this vi
cinity. Their initial purchase Of SO
large body of valuable land right at
the door of our city leads one to con-
clude that this latter prospect is now
practically an assured fact All of
these transactions are, of course, con-
sequent upon the certainty of lmme-
diate construction and early compile
tion Of the rexarkana IL Fort Smith
railway lines.

To the Bitter End.

The impeachment proceedings
against Judge j. j. Du Bose, the
widely known criminal judge of the
Memphis, (Tenn) court, now pending
before the lower Heuse of the Ten
ncssee Legislature, are assuming a
more formidable shape daily, and any
hope which may have been previous
ly entertained by his followers, that
the impeachment resolution would
meet its death at the hands of the
committee, has been wholly dispelled
by the action of that body, the MEM
bers of which have, in their investi-
cation of the case, given marked and
mmistakable evidence of their deter
mination to bring to the front and
fully expose every hidden detail of
the alleged corruption and wrong
doing charged against so prominent
state official. The committee has
concluded its labors and while its
members are bent upon maintain
ing u discreet silence, yet
the assurance is doubly sure, that a
full and free investigation will be
made, and Judge DuBose honorably
acquitted or successfully impeached
from his high office in the judiciary of
the State of Tennessee by the legisla-
tive body of that state.

A Deplorable Affair.

News of a distressing occurrence,
comes from Richmond, Va, where a
young and beautiful girl, in fit Of
jealous pique stabbed, and it is thought
fatally wounded her lover and aflanc-
ed husband.
The weapon used was long orna-
mental silver hat pin, which had been
presented to the young lady by her
victim. The young lady, Miss Eliz-
abeth Cushington, and her probable
victim, Mr.. Philip Deblau, are both
members OF the most select and ex-
elusive circles of Richmond social life,
and belong to old and wealthy fam
lilies.
The tragedy occurred during the
progress Of an evening luncheon,
where the young man attempted to
arouse his fiance's jealousy and re-
quite a fancied GOODNESS on her part
by paying devoted attention to anoth-
er young lady. Upon Miss Cushing
toms suddenly quitting the room, her
lover tancying his object accomplish
ed, followed and attempted to en-
brace ner. The attempt met with a
resistance as sudden as 1t was unex-
pected. The young lady, who
held in her hand the seem
ingly innocent hat pin, reached
forth her hand and in the effort to
push her impetuous lover away,
plunged the deadly ornament into his
right breast A subsequent reconcil-
iation and marriage followed at the
bed side of the wounded man, and
now the young bride, although under
arrest, is permitted to minister to her
injured husband, whose life every eff
fort is being made to save.
