 IspuEMING, Mich, Oct. 4.-While men were prospecting for q continuation of the Ropes goldmine, short distance from the main shaft, a vein containing bismuth, mineral entirely new to the upper peninsula, was discovered. From present investigations large quantity of tho mineral exists. Bismuth has q commercial value of about $2 per pound and is largely used for medical purposes. It i4 produced in England and few other foreign countries, but nowhere in the United States is it mined An analysis of the rock shows it to contain metal in sufficient qumtj. tics to afford profit. There are appar, entity many thousand tons of rock hold. ing the mineral and it is said the process of separating it from the rock is simple and can be done very choaply

Another Account.

LITTLE ROCK, Oct IA terrible cy- clone swept over the business portion of this city at 1880 o'clock Tuesday night, carrying death and destruction in it's path. Shortly after dark q heavy storm came from the west, accompanied by vivid fiashes of lightning and heavy crashes of thunder. The skies suddenly cleared and the storm was thought to be over, when immediately heavy gale from the southwest appeared and for three minutes the city was in the throes of death and destruction.
 The wind was terrific in the extreme. Trees, telegraph and electric light poles were uprooted and carried distance of 200 yards. The roofs of about 30 of the largest buildings in the city were torn

 Col. s. W Fordyee, President of the St. Louis X Southwestern Rail- way Company. has just submitted his annual report to the Board of Directors and stockholders for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891 It is a comprehensive exhibit of the financial and physical condition of the entire system and contains a mass of valuable information. The report shows that, compared with the proceeding fiscal year, there has been | decrease in gross earnings of $500, 936 @, which is due to the extraordinary depression of business which was general throughout the country, commencing during the closing months of the previous fiscal year and continuing during the whole of the fiscal year ended June 30, 1891
 But with this decrease in the gross earnings there was also decrease in operating expenses of $40, S05. 73, leaving ! decrease ln net earnings of $92, ,SS1. .32. There was decrease in all other receipts of s3S, lO5. B, and an increase in taxes accrued of $4, 175.39; an increase in interest and exchange of s6, 620. II, and an in crease in all other payments ot $7, ,602 28. The President, in com menting on this exhibit, says 'sWhile the net result for the year is by no means satisfactory, yet it is gratifying, in tue face of the un- precedented stagnation prevailing in all branches of trade along the line of this companys property and throughout the country generally, to have effected saving of in op- erating expenses sufficient to offset over 80 per cent. of the loss in gross earnings.

HE cordiaI Southern invitation

HE cordial Southern invitation to Northern capital is inspiring con fidence in the friendly conditions in that section. The Massachusetts Cotton Company has voted to in- crease it's capital stock from $, 600, GOO to S3. 400, GOO. and will build an immense cotton mill in Georgia. The great natural resources of the South are perfectly well known at the North, and enterprise will turn there when confidence is Oh firm foundation Globc Dcmocrat.
 Arkansas is IS well adapted to cotton manufacturing us Georgia, and an effort should be made by Pine Blunians to secure the loca- tion of the mill We are right in the heart of the richest cotton grow ing country in the South, aud we have good railroad and river faeil- ities for cheap and quick transpor- tntion of the manufactured product. Tn that connection Mr Isaac Drey= fus has made the suggestion that the citizens of Pine Bluff raise q fund to advertise this city in the leading papers throughout the East as q suitable place for the location of manufacturing enterprises. The suggestion is a good one, and the GRAPHIC respectfully refers it to our Commercial League,

The progress made toward the stupen- dous hy the Sells Brothers in the past twenty-three years has been somewhat mm vicious. The small show with which they made d timor- ous beginning has grown to be q genuine public institution of the first magnitude, well and favorably known in every section of the coun- try. ana everywhere natronized by the hest people. It has even more than kept pace with the unparalleled general development. and ranks first among tented exhibitions. It's tre- mendous spread of canvas covers a
 regal Roman hippodrome race track,
 monster iifty-eage menagerie, triple circus, huge elevated stages, Aus tralian aviary, Arabian caravan, African aquarium, spectacular pageants and trans-Pacific wild west exhibit. and hundreds of exclusively exhibited features, brilliant perform CTS and startling and ludicrous races and acts. Several huge special trains are required to transport this enor- nous melange of wonder and fun,
 and how so much can be exhibited for the one price of admission, 50 cents, is an enigma which can be solved by visiting the greatest show on earth. Don't fail to see the grand street parade and judge for yourself as to its magnitude.

Without Looking at Her.

It has been said that the American man is the only man who can do a woman a service without looking at her. He is also the only man who can look at her as at another individual soul, a creature related to his mother, wife and sister, and not merely tho femelle dc lhomme, writes Grace Ellcry Charming in an article en- titled "Politcncss In Two Countries in The Ladies' Home Journal. That is not in tho European man. He is gallant; he { fis'n altering; he can be all that is charm ing; ho may nurse a poetic reve of the budding woman; he may have an individ- sual respect for some individual woman or women he knows, but reverence for woIn- aphood as womanhood is not his.

as Lightning.
 Most wild animals are specialists-that is to say they are highly developed in one particular direction. Tho tiger is great as stalker. His feet seem to be ''shod with silence" MT. R. H. Elliot, for many years a resident of India, cites an experi- ence of ope of his neighbors illustrative of this point.
 He had been much annoyed by tigers and at last tied bullock out in clear ing and took up his own position in a tree to wait till the tiger should come after the bait. The ground was covered with dried leaves, which in hot weather are so brittle that even the walking of bird over them can bc heard for good distance. 7 In no very long time a largo tiger slip ped out of tho forest and slowly edged to- ward tho bullock. His method WAS so elaborate and caAful that the man who been worth 1000 rupees to any young sportsman to have witnessed it.
 So carefully did he put down each paw and so gradually did he crush the leaves under it that not q sound was to be heard Between him and the bullock was stump about four feet high, with long project ing surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger looked upon as godsend.
 He got upon one of the roots balanced himself carefully and so was able to walk quickly and silently as far as the stump. He approached so gradually and noiseless- ly and his color against the brown leaves was so invisible that he was close upon tho bullock before he was perceived.
 Then instantly the bullock charged. The tiger eluded him and in moment more had his paws on tho bullock's neck ready to drag him down. Then, liko flash, ho caught sight of tho rope by which tho bullock wastied and turned and sprang into tho forest, all so quickly that tho man in tho treo had no opportunity to fire.- Youths Companion.
