VS.. L. E. Goldsmith, which was tried
Thursday and Friday last, aud an
account of which was published eX--
elusively in the GRAPHIC, returned

doubtless, ends the case. The history
OF the suit is that two years ago Mr..

Co, Popular Bluff, Mo-, was in pos
session of two pieces of exchange is
sued by the company for Mr.. Gold
smith for the groceries One piece
was for $40 and the other for $26.

not being in full. Mr. Goldsmith re-
fused to sign the receipt and Wilt
shire retained the exchange.
Mr.. Goldsmith went before Justice
Alexander and replevined the ex-
change, the papers having a eapias
clause, which provided for the seiz-
ing OF the person against whom the
order is made. Wiltshire went be-
fore the Justice and surrendered the
exchange. He then set up a claim
that he was unlawfully detained and
filed a suit for $4,000 against the
mayor The suit was tried at
Dumas and the plaintiff award
ed $500. The Judgment was set
aside by Judge Elliott and the case

A SIGN OF PROSPERITY.
The Revenues of The Pine Bluff Postomce
Increased 12 IL Per Cent
InThe Last Month.

1T is a well known fact that ii You
wish an indication of general pros
perity or decay OF city, the post
office is the place to learn this knowl-
edge. Nothing shows prosperity or
ii decline in business quicker than
a posto@ ice, and by it's transactions
you may at once come to a correct
understanding of business OF city
by observing the increase or decrease
in the revenues OF the postofiice.
This being a well known and I'M
disputed fact, it will be pleasant to
our citizens to known that the
general revenues of the Pine Bluff
postofiice was increased 12k per
cent. for the month of November
over the same month last year, and
that the money order receipts were
increased 10 per cent. over the cor
espon ding month of 1894.

arrested on the charge of adultery
and carried to Police headquarters.
There he refused to give a bond for
bis appearance at trial, and Chief
Stewart promptly ordered him to be
locked up behind the bars of the city
cooler and there he remained until
the morning session OF the Police
Court, when his friend gave a
bond for his appearance. Satur
day morning he appeared before the
Court, accompanied by ian attorney,
who as defense for Jones con
duct, maintained that the law under
which he had been arrested was un
constitutional, and therefore he
asked that his client be discharged
from custody. Jones did not deny
that he was living wi tn the negress
yet Notwithstanding this fact, from
some cause the Police Judge saw
fit to allow him to go unpublished.
This is the second time that Pheland
Jones has been arrested for living
in adultery with this same negress.
In August last he was arrested for
'associating" with her and plead |
guilty and paid fine for the offense.

WHEREIN THEY DIFFER.
INSTANCES WHERE WOMAN RISES
SUPERIOR TO MAN. 4
Men Are the Slaves of circumstances
While Woman overcoms
Them without Any
Fnss

Man Is creature of cast-iron
habits; woman adapts herself to
circumstances; this il the foundation
oil the moral difference between them,
: say Lippincott's.
a man does not attempt TO drive
u nan Unless he has hammer; a
woman does nor hesitate to uss
anything, from the heel of boafr,
the back of u brush.
man considers corkscraxx Z,
absolutely necessary to open a boz
tie; woman attempts to exfrac.
the cork with the scissors; If she
does not succeed readily she pushes
the cork into the bottle, since the
essential thing is to get at the
fluid.
Shaving is the only use to which
man puts n razor; woman
employees II for chiropodlst pnr-
poses.
When ii Malt writes everything
must be in apple-pie order; pen,
paper and ink must be Just so; a
profound silence must reign while
he accomplishes the important func-
ton. A woman gets any sheet OF
paper-tears it, perhaps, from a
book orportfolio-sharpens the pencil
with a scissors, puts the paper on
an old atlas, crosses her feet, balan-
ces herself on her chair and confides
her thought the paper, changing
from pencil to pen and vice versa
from time to time, nor does she care
ii the children romp or the cook
comes to speak to her.
A man storms ii the blotting
paper is not conveniently near; a
woman dries the Ink by blowing on
1t, waving the paper In the air or
holding 1t near the lamp or fire.
A man drops a letter unhesitating-
ly in the box; a woman rereads the
address. assures herself that the
envelope is sealed, the stamp secure
and then throws it violently into the
box.
man can cut hook only with a
paper cutter; woman deity in
serts hairpin and the book is
cut.
For a man ''good-by'' signifies
the end OF u conversation and the
moment of his departure; for a
woman it is the beginning OF new
chapter, it is just when they are
taking leave OF each other that
women think OF the most ilnpor-
tant topic of a conversation.
A woman ransacks her brain
trying TO mend broken object;
man puts it aside aud forgets
that for which there is no remedy
