Conan Doyle has begun to pave the
way for his approaching lecture tour
Of the United States by say ing tlatter-
ing things about American authors.
He likes the work of Riley, Cable, and
Miss Jewctt, but he is especially
charmed with Mary f. wilkins, whom
he considers "a singularly gifted wom-
an, who writes as no one else in Amer
lea writes"-which might be dubious
praise, but is really intended for high
compliment.
Capt. Mahan, U. s. N, who has
been receiving such unusual honors
from England, is extremely modest by
temperament. After he had finished
the manuscript of his remarkable worl,
on ''Sea Power early in the year 1880,
he submitted it to literary man in
New York, making the characteristic
remark that it was "a conscientious
piece Of work." The New York littera.
teur found it good deal more than
that, and strongly advocated its pub.
lication. 1t has made Mahan famous.
Gilbert A'Beckett celebrated his
elevation to the Office of magistrate al
the Greenwich police court by a char.
acteristic pun. A gentleman came be.
fore him to prefer charge of robbery
with violence, committed in the middle
Of the night. In stating his case he
mentioned that the assault occurred
while he was returning home from an
evening party. The worthy magis.
trate interrupted him by observing
"Really, sir, can not make up my
mind to accept anything like an ex'
parte statement"

ALL EUROPE READY FOR WAR.
Tho Great Nations Prepared for a Decls-

Tho Great Nations Prepared for Dccls-
ration Of Hostilities.
After the dreadful Franco-German
war Of ls7o-ls7l the principle Of -
longed military service and Of dimin-
ished annual contjngents was given up,
says McClure's Magazine. The mon
strous principle Of universal service
was adopted instead. BY this prin-
ciple the whole nation is under arms
A country is no longer u country, u
people Is no longer people; nation is
now nothing but an army, and coun-
try is only barrack. Everybody wears
the uniform. Everybody is sur le qui
vive. If war breaks out to-day all pro-
fessions become deserted, all functions
abandoned; the life Of the ma tion stops
80 that national activity may be said to
begin again only with the blood that ia
shed. Moreover, before two hostile
armies, that is, two nations which are
enemies, Join in combat, each Of the
two armies, that Is, each Of the two In
finite hordes which traverse their sew
eral countries to meet eventually on
the field Of battle, will leave behind It
q country In famine, its factories silent
and its trade paralyzed. Again, enor-
nous stocks Of food supplies must be
accumulated on the frontiers where the
two armies are likely to meet; but be-
fore reaching these inexhsustible mag
azines the armies must be fed while
crossing their own territories, and that
requires money. So, that, before even
the Arst gun Is fred, each army will
have expended enormous sums and left
In its train towns and villages stripped
Of men and beasts, the cities In famine,
the country without a single tiller Of
the field.

SMALL.eOAT VOYAGES.
Stories Of Foolhsrdy Men Who Have
Crossed tho Atlantic.

STORIES OF Fo0lherOy men Nno tiare
Crossed the Atlantic.
The record Of adventurous parsons
who have crossed the Atlantic in crafts
Of small dimensions is, comparatively
speaking, long one, but nothing has
been accomplished beyond fame for Il
few, and almost repulsive stories of
privations Of various kinds and failure
The latest effort of adventure in this
direction Is that of Capt. Freitsch, Il
Finn, who is to try to cross the Atlantic
in forty-six-foot flat-bottomed schoon-
er-rigged skiff, constructed by himself
at Milwaukee. He started from that
city recently crossing the lake and
coming through the Erie canal to Troy,
thence down the Hudson to this city,
says the New York Tribune. lie pro.
poses to start at an early day, going
first to Southampton, thence to ports
on the continent, and later return to
the United States
Voyages Of this kind in such small
craft are evidently more remarkable
than those Of clippers, yachts and
schooners, on account of the perils ct
the ocean, the paucity Of the crew to
manage the helm and sails during n
period measured by months and the
spirit and pluck Of the individual. Bue
1t cannot be said that such voyages
really accomplish anything for tho
science of navigation. In July, 1866,
Capt. Hudson and L. +. Fitch, the
latter acting as mate, and dog, in a
twcnty-six.foot lifeboat called the Red,
White and Blue, and rugged as a
schooner, started from Sandy Hook on
a voyage Of unknown duration and un-
certain viclssitude across the Atlantic.
The boat had several narrow escapes
from capsizing, and thirty-scvcn days
after leaving New York she entered
Margnte harbor. The boat and her
crew were exhibited at the Crystal
Palace, where the story of the voyage
was oft-told. The hardy navigators
did not return in the same way-thcy
had had enough Of It," In the same
year small yacht of twenty-five tons
made the voyage from Liverpool to
New South Wales, reaching there in
one hundred and fifty Days, distance
Of sixteen thousand miles. In June,
1876. Alfred johnson started from
Gloucester In a small boat, manned
only by himself, and sixty-seven days
later he reached Liverpool. The voy.
age was perilous one, and when
about three hundred miles off the Irish
! coast his boat was capsized, and he was
providentially assisted by huge wave
In righting It.
Another bold adventure was that of
Capt. Thomas Crapo, who, with his
wife, crossed the ocean in a twenty
! foot boat called the New Bedford. The
adventurers sailed from New Bedford
in June, and fifty-four days later
| reached Penzance and were right glad
to end the voyage. The experiences
were most bitter and heart-rending.
In July, 1888, Capt. Andrews sailed
from Boston and crossed the Atlantic.
Tho story Of the voyage was like that
Of many others-deprivation of com
forts and food, loss Of sleep, hair
breadth escapes, dangerous hurricanes
and newspaper uotoriety.

Do you ever use ink !? Nearly every
man, woman and child uses the fluid and
vet few know anything about how it is
made. With the aid of ink history is
written, or printed, therefore the i'm
portauce of good ink stands up before
you. The oldest inscriptions known are
written on stone in the British museum,
they were carved 1000 years ago. The
oldest specimen of written language in
ink extaut, is on an Egyptian Papyrus,
now in the museum at Paris. This writ
ing is about $500 years old. The Chinese
claim that they invented ink 5000 years
ago, but they have no records or docu-
ments to prove it.
The best writing inks of the present
time have for their bases Aleppo nut
gals and sulphate of iron. The know
ledge OF so manipulating and combining
these substances as to produce a good
ink is possessed by very few. The Thad-
deus Davids company are the only man.
utacturers of this ink and they hold
diplomas from the American institute
dating back to 1S45 in which the writ
ing done with this ink is now very much
blacker than the copper plate printing.
These inks have been well known in the
United States for four generations.
These are the very best inks known. We
keep a full supply on hand at 4c. bottle,
regular ink size, and if you bring your
bottle along will fill it for &c. and &c., as
we keep it in quart bottles at 4sc.. and

River Bank Caving.

Destruction again threatens the city of Pine Bluff. The muddy Ark ansas is eating its way like Il cancer ous sore, into the banks of the river just this side the WI ter works The caying has begun and the heavy waves of the river are eating their way into the very heart of the city Pullen street from one end to the other is doomed unless some altera- tion is brought by nature OF by man upon the force of the current in that locality. The river has cut it's way across the sand-bar that has been forming for the last year just above dyke No. l, and unless check is put upon its force great damage will re- suit. Maj. Breckinridge should be notified of this condition of affairs and the Government boat that is lying idle along the bank of the river near the Cotton Belt shops, should be put to work.
 There is no sense in the citizens of Pine Bluff sleeping longer on their rights. The city is threatened and work should begin at once.
 Let some of our citizens write our Congressman and see if he can't help HIS.

OUR MAGISTRATES.
The Justices of the Peace May Read
 and Consider.

In Thursday's issue of the GRAPHIC
 appeared an article calling attention
 to the fact that some of the justices of the peace had laid themselves liable to severe and unsavory criti- cisms on account of their mode of ] procedure in their august tribunals. Since that time it seems some of our justices of the peace have busted themselves in making sundrv en- l quiries in regard to the charges as set forth in the article and of course none of them take it to themselves.
 We published the article only as a gentle hint to these administrators that they should guard their trust with sacred jealousy and not permit seif-aggrandizement to ieopardize the good fortune of the cause they have championed. We will state now and here that our attention has been called to number of cases wherein wrong doing is branded upon the very face of some of their actions and doings.
 No man is iHfallible. All are capa- ble of doing wrong, and it is very seldom that any man sees his wrong doing until his neighbor or his friend has shown him his error.
 We regard our justices of the peace amoung our highest dignitalies. Ne would like to see them donned in the old style official toga; if might add dignity to their station, although it might, under present circumstances anl conditions. be nothing more than @whitted sepulehre filled with dead mems bones"
 They are those who sit in iudg- ment upon the right doings and the wrong doings of their fellowmen and they should exercise the very best of caution and judgement in their ad- ministration of justice. An ignorant, unlettered man shoald be the very last man the people should choose as a justice of the peace. Are there any Of this class in Pine Bluff Let others make the reply.
 Policy and politics in a great many instances are curses; the people are the sufferers. The combination of the above two clements have almost unlimited sway in Pine Bluffs local government today.
 In this article we are generalizing not specifying; however, if the cap fits, let the man whom it suits Wenr if.

Runaway.

Two runaways occurred yester day on Main street, but only one proved at all disastrous.
 The mule team that draws the Waters-Pierec oil tank became frightened, got from under the con trol of the driver and ran up Main street from Third avenue. As they passed in front of Rosenbaum X Fies furniture store one of the wheels of the tank wagon struck hind WIleel of buggy almost making a total wreck of it. The buggy was the property of a Mr. Smith, an employe of Mir. D. B. Riggin.
