 Clarksyille Herald-Journal Rev. N. c. Mum delivered very interesting and instructive sermon at the c. F. church Sunday morning, in answer to a request from number of his flock who were disturbed somewhat on the ques- ton of the proper day of Sabbath ob- seryance. The burden of his discourse was to show how, why and when the Sabbath was changed to the first day of the week.
 Clarksyille Herald Journal In his lecture at Monteagle Chautauqua, Prof. Stoaks made criticism upon the com monly accepted picture of the face of Jesus, Instead of the pretty, passionless face of antiquity we may rather conceive of that of a weary, haggard, determined face The face of wanderer, without home or friends save pack of ignorant dopraved humanity who hung at his heels and who ware ready Co forsake him and mob him il occasion required. At the close of the criticism he presented \ cartoon face, which not only carried out his conception but brought forth an ap- plause of unqualified appreciation. Prof. Steaks has just receIved photograph If the picture. The original sketch will be hung in place of honor in the great tabernacle.

Fms fromsthe St. Louis Republic will be especially interesting and in structive during the further discus sion of the silver question in or out of congress:
 "Of the countries of Europe, Aus tria, Hungary, Denmark, Germany Great Britian, Norway, Portugal Sweden and Turkey have the gold standard or unit of value. Belgium France, Greece, Italy, Holland, Spain and Switzerland have the double standard, silver, and gold. Silver is the standard money of Russia, Boil via. Central America, China, Col umbia, Ecuador, India, Mexico, Pc ru, Tripoli and Venezuela. In the United States, previous to 1873, when silver was demonetized by dark lantern methods, the silver dol lar of 4l24 grains weight was the unit of value. The sherman act of 1873, which forbade the coinage of silver dollars by the hints of the United States, made the gold dollar of 25 4-5 grains the unit of value"

LONG LOST CARAMEL.
The Banks of the River Cave off and
 Expose it to View.

Expose it to View.
 Dardanelle Post. l7th.
 A few days ago our friend Joe Brearley of Norristown called at our office and informed us that he had found quite curiosity in the shape of keel of boat, sticking out of the river bank just below the Oar danelle Rock on this side the river
 That evening we went up to take look at it, and sure enough it was there. The caying of the bank has exposed it to view, or at least about 50 feet of it and how much farther it extended under the bank we do not know but judge from what we can see that the keel must be 75 or so feet long. The 50 feet now ex- posed, is the front end or stem of the keel It is built in what is known among boat builders as model bow, and is about l2 feet beam. It lies about 20 feet below the surface Of the earth. Large roots have grown over and through the sides. The wood is very rotten and crumbles with it's own weight. The side tim bers are rounded up and from ap- pearances the hold of the vessel must have been six feet or more. The nalls and spikes which are easi- ly pulled out show clearly that they were forged or wrought and not cut in the modern fashion.
 The length of time this craft has been lying there can only be con jectured, but, that it was built by Spaniards we think is certain-and thereby hangs a tale.
 Most every body in Yell, Logan and Pope counties knows Jake Graves. Jake has lived within about ten miles of Dardanelle near the mouth of Delaware for at least half century and is living yet. During his residence there, it is es- timated that he has spent, first and last, about five years time out in the mountain and up and down the riv- CT looking for something. While out in the mountain he was looking for gold mine and when walking up and down the banks of the river he was looking for wreck of a boat. Where Jack got the legend or how he got it, we will not now undertake to say, but it is as fol- lows: About two or three hundred years ago, number of Spaniards came up the Arkansas river and landed their boat at the mouth of Delaware Creek, that they went out into the mountain and discovered a gold mine and operated it; that they work there long time and just about the time they got their boat loaded with gold, the Indians mas sacred the whole party and sunk the boat.
 Jake says he found unquestion- able evidence of where the mining operations were carried on and kinder winks his left eye like he had found the mine but he won't tell it's whereabouts.
 The finding of this wreck where it has unquestionably been covered twenty feet deep with earth, long enough for trees three feet in diam eter to grow over it, strongly CO., roborates the idea that boat was sunk in the neighborhood, long time ago, but as to how many souls perished, or how many tons of gold went down with her, we will never know.

TnE people are satisfied, much better satisfied with silver coin than with gold coin. Silver is cur rent and is always on the move to pay debts. It's more aristrocratic rival is not and has not been in gen eral circulation. It is hoarded up in vaults and strong boxes of capi- talists and bankers as coin too good and too precious for every day use. Silver is good enough. Silver will do

Ir is reported that one or two of the Arkansas delegation in congress will vote for the unconditional re peal of the sherman act, without any provision being made for the coinage orsilyer, or for it's retention in the future as legal tender coin, We can scarcely credit this report. Should they do such thing they would misrepresent their constitu- cuts, as it is uumistakably true that ninety nine out of every hundred democrats in every congressional district in tbe State are opposed to the single gold standard

 would take Japanese, skilled in the art of juggling, or an Egyptian, deeply yersed in the significance oi silence, to fathom their exact at itude on this living and burning financial topic.--Ft. Smith Times.
 The pity of it is, our esteemed con temporary is exactly correct. And none of the state press is more con- spicuous on account of standing by an undeiined position on the none tary question than are the Little Rock dailies-the Gazette and Dem ocrat That these journals, usually frank and outspoke en, should be non commital on matter of such vital concern to the people of the whole country, is unfortunate to say the least of it. It is to be hoped that Mir, Terry, who represents the dis trict in which Little Rock is situat- ed, will not construe the indifference and indecision of the leading papers published in his home city, to repre- sent the sentiment of the people on the great issue convulsing the na- ton, for they do not Within the past fortnight numbers of the read CTS of the Gazette and Democrat have asked us why these papers maintain a neutral position.

NEXT Monday according to the agreement made by members of the lower house of congress, vote will be taken on the caucus bill repeal ing the purchasing clause of the Sherman act, and concurrently pro yiding for the coinage of silver with full legal tender quality on such a ratio as will provide and maintain the parity between gold and silver. The proposition is certainly fair one, as it is a concession on the part of the silver men in that they name no fixed ratio as between the two precious metals They simply de- mand that gold and silver, the mon ey of the constitution, be continued as portion of the currency of the nation, with all legal tender prop critics represented in each, and that each be given equitable opportun- ities for coinage.

I'nr St. Louis Republic says

"A few people are still left out side the pale of knowledge as to what constitutes a ratio. A ratio of l6 to puts l6 times as much weight into silver dollar as the gold dollar contains of gold, A ratio of 20 to l would put enough more silver into the silver dollar to make the silver 20 times us heavy as the gold in a gold dollar If this does not explain, the Republic must give it up"

 There is only one cure. Every body who has had experience with malaria know what the cure is. Pc ru-na exactly hits the case. It not only cleanses the blood of all rnaIa- rial poison, but it promptly miti- gates the bad symptoms and leaves the brain clear and nerves steady.
