.rhreads from the Loom ot Life. $


 The latest literary production that has come to our notice is from the pen of Mrs L. Jeanie REland. who is so well known in Pine Bluff and vi- einity. and who has long been known to entertain an ambition to become an authoress. The book is entitled Threads from the Loom of Life, 2 and it's very name is enough to ex- cite interest and toeause its pages to be read with ayidity It abounds in many beautiful thoughts, expressed in unique and ingenious manner. and will be read with no little inter- est among the local reading public. The authoreSs confesses in the intro tlaetion that there isno eighth com mandment in art and that the poet dare help himself wherever he lists. 7 yet we think originality one of the most striking features of the book, for, while she has selected a variety of well-known subjects for discus sion, she has, nevertheless, presented them in very unique form, and, BIS the eye follows her versatile pen, the reader pauses to doubt the truth Of the old adage that there is nothing new under the sun The book is both grave and gay, and the writer discusses alike with Aueney and ease both the serious and comic aspects of life. After d serious and thought iulchapter on the passage of time, we are treated to Aunt Gerusha's inn pressions of a visit to Pine Bluff re lated in dialect, bright carieature of the many dialect writers that have sprung up in tine literary world of late. The work also contains many local hits, which will cause it to be read with no small degree of interest in this city, as many of the charac- ters are well known in Pine Bluff so- ciety and as correctly described as so- ciety lifein Thackery's Vanity Fair. '
 The book is handsomely printed and bound by the Arkansas Print ing and Lithographing Company. and Mrs Ryland has already found sale for a large number of copies, upon which she is to be congratu- lated.

An Interview by Representative of the
 Graphic with T Giant Chief.
 Last night q representative of the GRAPHIC had the pleasure of an in troduction to Prince Karroo, of Congo, Africa, now on exhibition at the dimemuseum on Main street, and for the benefit of our readers we re produce his history, which will be of interest.
 Karroo, the Congo Prince. one Of the Bangala Congo or African Indians, was born hear Stanley Rapids on the Congo river, near the West coast of Africa, fs 10 years old and stands feet } Z inces in height. He was taken captive when but 12 years of age by the Stanley followers, of whom Capt Geo. H. Longeese had command When captured there were three, who were supposed to be father, mother and son, and were imprisoned separately in large iron barred cages and shipped to Port Natal, South Africa. While enroute the father and mother became so violent, breaking the bars and kf1l- ing sailors by tearing them limb from limb, it was found necessary to kill the elder ones, leaving Karroo alone. karroo was taken to Port Natal, thence to Cape Town. and  was civilized and educated with the idea of furtheling missionary work in the district Of his native land. While at school, Dr. Edward Chambers, Of Philadelphia, Pa, J. $. A., the famous traveler and diamond miner, induced the author ities to have Kalreo make tour of the world, and brought him to Eng land lie was summoned to appear before Her Majesty, the Queen of England. September ', 1889. and had the honor of many such courtcaies He was brought to America some time during the year 1S00. Hei Witout exception the tallest living person on exhibition, having been side bE side at the great congress of giants assembled at Austin X stones museum November 1S90, where Col Cooper. Capt.

He returns to England next year to- return to his native land as per con tract between Dr. Chambers and the proper authorities.
 Karroo is very intelligent and speaks five different languages, viz: Congo, Zulu, Spanish, Portugeese and English. He speaks English very fluently and is an interesting cpnyersa tionalist.

Hans HydrIck Seen In This City a Few
 Nights Ago.

Hans HydrIck Seen In This City Few
 Nights Ago.
 From good authority we learn that Hans Hydlick, the man who murdered Glenn Ingram last Febru- arE and who escaped from prison at the recent jail delivery in this city, was seen a few nights ago. He boldly entered one of the saloons on Barraque street, took a seat at one of the card tables in the gaming room, and en- gagged in game of "crap shooting and came ont big winner.
 He afterwards made himself known to one of his personal friends, eR- joyed few hours chat with him, It was learned that he had money to throw at birds, and was armed to the teeth.
 Strange that he should have made such a bold front and at the same time escape the detection of the of fiters 1t is thought by some that he is still in the city, though so well disguised as not to be known by his most intimate acquaintances.

Gates it, is himself standing with
the Third party and not with the
Democratic party in principle as
laid down by it's convention. What
does the party sayy
owe hold TO the use Of both
gold and silver as the standard
money of the country; and to the
coinage of both gold and silver
without. discrimination against
either metal or charge for minis
age"
Shall it be said of d Democratic
President that he does not, "hold
TO the use of both go d and silver"
and the coinage of 10th gold and
silver without Observation-Disclosures
he has with a depleted treasury, a
legacy from the Radicals, mains
tanned the p rity of 600 millions OF
gold and. 500 millions Of silver
coin. Has not Secretary Carlisle
paid gold for silver certificates
when demanded-the only way
that the parity can be m%aintaineds
Has President Cleveland repudi-
ated a single njckle of our money!
Yet he is accused Of destroying
one half Of the coinage of the
country. TIE platform goes on to
define the Coinage" that it may
be clear what it means. Shut,
the dollar unite OF both metals
must be of equal intrinsic and X
changeable value"
The Democratic party says. we
will have NO coinage # so cents in
a 81 yer dollar for the poor man,
and 100 cents in the gold dollar
for the rich man. The silver dollar
shall not go current by the mint
stamps nor by fiat, but because it
is intrinsicalIy worth its stamp in
metal; or by a ratio adjusted oy
International agreement, OIL by
such safeguards OF Legislation az
shall maintain the parity Of the
ta0o metals and the equal poaoer Of
eUery dollar at all tines IN the
market and IN the payment Of
debt.
The maE that is looking for the
democratic party toissue a dtbased
coinage, With which he may pay
his debts, will look in vain and il
would be honest in democratic
editors TO tell the people SO in plain
terms. Is not the President stand
ing on the platform that every
dollar OF the equity shall be oil
eqaal entrinsic aud cxcnangeable
vau.? He says SO in his message
in almost these exactiwords. Are the
Silver advocates on that platform!
Here is the reply Of one who Gains

A. SOUND PLATFORM.

The Pennsylvania Democratic
convention, which met last Tues
day, adopted a strong platform.
1t is truly Democratic Oh al
the issues OF the day, but what il
has to say on the financial question
is especially apt at this time, as
the following extract from the
platform will show:
We approve Ct the action CT the
house OF representatives in voting
SO dccisively in favor of the repeal
Of the siiver-purchase Law; and we
cal upon the United States senas
tors from Pennsylvania to give
their support to such legislation as
may insure the prompt and I'M
conditional repeal OF that vicious
law.
We denounce the declaration
made by the republican state cons
vention in favor of an enormous
expansion of the currency as una
wise, improvident and calculated to
produce dangerous initiation of
values, reckless speculation, and
disastrous coIs'qncnces.
We avor a currency of gold
and silver coin, treasury and bank
notes sufficient fer the Tie business
needs OF the country, but we insist
that it shall at ali times be kept at
a party of yalae.
That is the spirit and essence OF
the National Democratic platform
over again.
The Democratic party is not in
favor Of a deprecated currency,
whether it be silver or anything
else. It wants enough money to
do the business 0: the country, but
II must he sound money.
