Very Clever Indeed.

The entertainment given by Hewes,
the magician, and his assistant, Nine
Claire, at Ghio's opera house in this
city, on Saturday evening, may be
classed as strictly frst-rate perform
ance, in which both participants
proved themselves thorough adopts in
the art of 'jugglery." Indeed their
performance belongs exclusively to,
and forms a part of, the mystiler's
art Some Of their feats were both
deceptive and puzzling, showing a
marked familiarity with the chosen
secrets Of modern legerdermain.
Aside from the claims made to super
natural influence and assistance, the
performance was all that was claimed
for it or could have been expected,
and the entire audience departed feel
ing amply repaid in amusement and
interest fer the time and money ex-
pended.

BRIGHTER PROSPECTS,

The active preparation which is
now going on, both North and South
from this city, to begin work on the
extension ofthe Texarkana & Fort
Smith railway, combined with the ex-
celent prospects for year of renew
ed prosperity throughout the land
has already made its magnetic influ-
ence felt in the commercial and in
dustrial affairs of Texarkana. We
can scarcely recall time, at this quiet
and often dull season of the year,
when there were so few audible
murmurs of complaint from our local
business men, or cries of dull times
and scarcity of money from the fnan-
cial institutions and monied men gem
orally. This argues well for the
present, and bids hope for the future.
To the minds Of men vastly more ex-
perienced than we can claim to be,
Texarkana has never possessed fairer
or more enduring prospects, for pres"
ent and future welfare and progress,
than those which now open out before
her. The question then arises, shall
these prospects be realized? Shall
the promises for future good be
wrought into present beniiicent re-
alities? Or shall we leave to chance
those promised and possible benefits,
which to idle dreamer are but the
phantoms Of thought, ready to vanish
like the baseless fabric of a dream, un-
less they are caught in the iron hand
of resistless energy and confined in
the crucible Of untiring enterprise,
from whence they be made to come
forth living realities, in the shape Of
splendid naturalization Such in
deed is our condition and such are
our opportunities. Shall we pur-
sue, overtake and capture them?
or shall they evade and finally alto
gether elude us? These are subjects
for earnest and instant thought and
action. The future welfare and pros
perity of Texarkana can only be as
sured or obtained by the united and
determined efforts Of her citizens. No
better time has ever appeared or is
likely to appear to put forth these eff
forts than now. SO we say to them,
"Act; act in the living present"

Do not join those young men who In
this day put their thumbs in their vest
and swagger about the streets and
stores, talking about the glorious nine
teenth century, about its light being
sufficient without'any Bible. and with
out any Christ, and without any God.
The time Is cOming-we may not live
to see it, but should not be surprised
If we did see it-when this whole coun-
try IS to be one great church, the
forests the aisles, the Allegheny and
the Rocky Mountains the pillars, the
chain of inland lakes the baptistries,
and the worship the halIelujah chorus
unto Him who was and is and shall be
evermOre. Oh, come over to the ma
jority-come under the banners of
Emanuel.
Vernon was the son of an English
squire. He was brought up in great
elegance. There was a man working
on the place of the name of Ralph.
Vernon used to often talk with Ralph.
After awhile Vernon went off to col
lege and came back with his mind full
of skepticism. He talked his skepti-
cism to Ralph. the workman. After
awhile Vernon went from home again,
was gone for years, came back, and
among his first questions when getting
home was, Where is Ralph?" ''Oh, !"
said the father, Ralph is in prison,
waiting for the day of execution"
Vernon fastened to see Ralph.
Ralph, looking through the wicket of
the prison, said: "Vernon, how good
you are to come TO see me! I am glad
so see you. [ hardly expected you
would come and see me. | don't blame
anybody, l only blame myself; but,
Vernon, 1 want you to promise me one
thing. Twill you?" Vernon replied,
Il will" Il want you to promsie me
never to talk skepticism in the pres
ence of anybody. You see lit might do
them harm. When you used to say
there was nothing in the Bible, and it
didn't make any difference how we
lived, we would come out happy at the
last, somehow it had bad influence
upon me, and | went from bad to worse
until | am here, and | must die for my
crimes"
BY almost superhuman effort the
sentence was changed and he was to
be transported to another country for
life. The ship going there was
wrecked on Van Diemen's Land.
Among those who perished was Ralph,
the victim of VernOn's skepticism.
Vernon tells the story to-day with
tears and broken heart, but it is too
! late! Oh. do not talk skepticism; do
not talk scepticism. Let God be true,
though every man be found liar!
