A gimlet headed reporter for the

The following from the Fort Smith Record
tells of Prof. Stahrs exit
At o'clock Wednesday morning tall, good
looking man stepped up to the ticket Office of
the Frisco line in this city and bought ticket
to st. Louis. Then he turned away and COM
meneed to pace nervously up and down the
platform His cape overcoat futtered in the
cold wind and his stylish derby was pulled
down over his eyes. He was not at all inclined
to be communicative with the few loungers
about the depot who eyed him curiously, and
when the north bound train hove in sight it was
with sigh of relief that the handsome man in
the cape overcoat stepped aboard and into the
sleeper. The train pulled out aud on board it
was Prof Richard Stahl. who was leaving Fort
Smith. There was very little ceremony about
the affair. Stahl had notified only a few of his
acquaintances that he was going, and to some
of them he said tina he was going to Philadel-
phia, which used to be his old home. II is sup
poJed that thither he has gone, Mrs. Stahl left
the city some ten days ago. presumably for the
same point
Shortly after his being fued in the police
court, Stahl sent out letters to most of his old
pupils, saying that he was now ready to receive
his former pupils and continue his course of IL
struction. 1t is hardly necessary to say that the
response to these missives was by no means
cordial

ODD BAROMETERS.
The Leech in Bottle and the Frog on a
Ladder.

Two of the Oldest and oldest forms of
popular barometers are the leech in
bottle and frog on ladder. Mr.. Rich
ard lnwards has seen an old Spanish
drawing of nine positions of the leech,
with verses desert bing his attitude and
behavior before different kinds of wealth
er. DR.. Merryweaher of Whitby contrived
an apparatus by which one OF II leeches
confined in BOTTLE rang bell when u

were kept in every chemists shop. and
often in private houses, their behaviour
was subject of constant observation; and
it was generally noticed that in still

"a hours in advance, before change.
and in case of a thunderstorm rose very
quickly to the surface, descending when
it was past.
The frog barometer, used in Germany
and Switzerland, is a very simple appar-
atus, consisting of jar of water, frog,
and little wooden step ladder. IT the

The belief that bees will not fly before
shower is probably true, and is the
rational origin of the banging of trays
and iron pots with door key when bees
are going to swarm. The insects are sup
posed to take this for thunder, and SO
settle close at hand, instead of swarming
at distance. Squirting WAGER on them
| with garden syringe often makes them
| settle at once. But no such ingenious
process of rationalising can be found
| for the belief that if the insect inside

mer will be dry though the increased
worrying of horses by flies before rain,
and the rise of the gossamer before fine
weather are abundartly confirmed by

SIGNIFICANCE OF COLOR.
There is Meaning in All Hues, from the
Royal Purple Down.

Outside the boundaries OF the art
world there is a lamentable want of ap-
probation of the Importance and signifi-
canoe Of color. Natures lessons. poured
out with reckless profusion at every
bank where grow clusters of primroses
like pale jewels in green settings are
eternally unheeded, by women especially.
who will adorn themselves with half a
dozen different colors without the slight
est regard to harmony or congruity.
There is fitness in color which is some
thing more than the result or mere acct
dent or association. From the days of
Solomon the rich and splendid Tyrian
purple has been associated with kings
and thrones, and one of his stipulations
in sending to Hiram, King of Tyre, for a
workman to help in building the tenn
pie, was that he "must be skilled in pur-
ple.a Among all Caucasian NATIONS and
with the Romans purple has ever been
the symbol of royalty, and it is difficult
to conceive of any more regal color, al
though modern nations can only mag
inc the beauty of color that they have
never beheld. The scarlet of tie robes
worn by the Cardi lals of the Roman
church is supposed to typify their will
ingness to shed their blood for the sake
| of Christ, while white has in all coun-
tries remained the emblem of innocence
and purity, which is the origin of the
| wearing of ermine by our Judges.
In China white is the hue chosen for
the mourning of the dead, yellow Icing
worn on the same occasion by the Egyp-
tians, while blue or violet is donned by
the Turk when death occurs. In every
country i'll Europe, except England,
violet is the sign of mourning employed
by the court, and obtains much more
artistic if less som Der effect than black,
which is the least pictorial OF colors from
the point of view of decorativeness. In
addition to colors symbolical OF death,
rejoicing and other events, there is in
almost every country a favorite color.
In China yellow is the most beloved hue,
whether or no because it most nearly
resent les the national complexion is
uncertain; while among savages red has
the highest esthetic value. The early
Italian painters seem to have had, a
special Partially for particularly love-
~ and soft shade of blue. which admlra-
bly, harmonizes with the sweetness and
maternal tenderness of their Madopnas.

STATE TOPICS OF INTEREST.

A curious occurrence was witnessed by
persons living near Peavey's Corner.
Atkinson, oife day last week. A team
containing two men also several cry
goods boxes was seen passing, and when
they reached hill near the house of
Dexter Blethan they stopped and I'M
loaded one of the boxes, dumped it's con-
tents, into the ditch and then droveson.
Investigation proved that the said con-
tents consisted of hats; hats of all styles.
qualities and ages were there! Hats
old and hats new; straw hats, felt hats
and tape hats were spread before the
astonished gaze of the natives. At first
people were afraid to touch them, but
avarice soon overcame all other con-
sderations, and everyone concluded to
help himself or herself to hats. There
were enough to supply all who came.
and one family is said to have secured
hats enough to last through several
future generations. Everyone in that
vicinity now sports a new nat, and we
saw one farmer Respondent in gay red
felt, while his wife was enjoying a sun
hat, the shape OF which defes descrip-
tion. One man asserts that there must
have been four hundred hats in that box,
and no two alike. No explanation of
this act of the strangers has been gained,
ana the affair is shrouded in mystery.
