Lircoln's Love-Makinr.

In 1899 Miss Mary Todd, Of Ken
tucly, arrived In >prlntield to visit a
married sister, Mrs Edwards At the
instance Of his friend Speed, who was
also kentucklan, Lincoln became a
visitor at the Edwards and before long
it was apparent to the obseryant among
those in Springfield that the lively
young lady held him captive, Engage
ments at that time and in that neigh
borhOod. were not announced as soon "a.
they were made, and it is not all impos-
sible that Miss Todd and Mr. Lincoln

till Lincoln was elected to the Presi-
dency, his one special rival IN Illinois
was stephen A. Douglas. Mr.. Douglas
had more OF the social graces than Mf.

nothing would be more interesting than
to cut out his political riyal in the

was what nowadays would have been
called a Irritation. This course OF ac

SLEEP HEAD TO THE ENGINE.
A Pullman Porter Gives Some Pointers
 That Are Old But They Are Good.

''In riding on a Pullman car" said a porter more than usually observ- ant, "sleep with your head to the engine. There are not so many head-on collisions on the railroads, experience has shown, and besides the danger is less from & rear-end collision. The reason for this is that every passenger train has it's own right of way, and runs regularly and is looked out for by all trains run hing ahead of it. The greatest dan ger is from u train behind which doesn't know when we have stopped or broke something and forced to stop. This is the chief reason for sleeping this way, but there are others.
 "You get the draft in the right place." continued the porter, with your head toward the engine. Your head feels cool without being exposed to the flood of air you would get il you were pointing the other way. But the most important reason for travelling this way is the matter of the circulation of your blood. The motion of the train is so strong and steady that it sends all the blood towards the end that is furtllerest from the engine. Put your feet to the engine and all your blood rushes to your head and gives you a restless night. Put your head to the engine and the blood goes away from your head, leaving it cool and easy, and you can rest like a child. When you have got yourself fixed in this way, and moreover, have got in the mid- dle of the ear because 1t is the safest, then you are ready for good nights sleep"

on For St. Louis.

This afternoon Messrs. R. c. Will kins, P. P. Byrd and Lev. Fowler, q
 special committee appointed at a recent mass meeting of the shippers and business men of Pine Bluff to confer with the officials of the St.
 Louis Southwestern railway for the purpose of securing q reduction of the present extortionatefreight rates into and out of Pine Bluff, will leave for St. Louis. They go with ample evidence to show that Pine Bluff and her business interests are being great ly discriminated against by the Cot ton Belt, and the GRAPHIC feels sure that when the matter is brought before the higher officials in a proper manner-as it will be by this com mittee, that an immediate and great reduction will be ordered in the rates.

The alleged interview ef a reporter of Figaro, the Paris newspaper, with United States Minister James B. Eustis, in which the latter declared
 that it lay with the United States whether or not Canada be annexed to this country, and also criticised the policy of Spain in Cuba, is caus- ing much excitement. While there is no question as to the popularity of MT. Eustis opinions in this country, he is being crittcisedfo ruttering them as U. $. Minister to foreign court. James B. Eustis is a native of New Orleans and is so years of age. He is

Newspaper Advertising.

It is not too much to say, says the Augusta Chronicle, that the develop ment of modern civilization has been assisted by no agent so powerful as the newspapers; and the progress of all trade, enterprises and inventions which has distinguished this cen tury, and more especially the last generation, has been accelerated by no means more effectual than news paper advertising.
 The advertisement brings together the seller and the buyer, the supply and the demand as in former times, and to Q comparatively limited ex- tent they were brought by the fairs and market days. By thus facilitat- ing and vastly increasing their means of communication, it has helped to reduce prices, stimulate the competition and emulation from which comes improvement in pro- duetion and to multiply the de mand for the material and the appli- ances which contribute to the ad- vancement of civilization.

 The second contest will be for a Monarch bicycle. which will be given to the young lady or gentleman re- ceiving the largest vote in this con- test. This prize will be Monarch Model No. 10, weight, twenty-two pounds, the price of which is $1O0. This wheel is the best possible model for good riders, and is light and easy running, but strong and serviceable. Should this contest be won by a lady, we will give the fortunate winner q Monarch Model No. II, weight, twenty-five pounds, and price $100. This is a most elegant wheel for ladies, and is guaranteed to stand up well and to ride easy. It is very light weight and as strong as dia- mond frame This contest will also be concluded September l.

ADVERTISERS CONTEST.
NEW AND NOVEL FEATURE.
Calculated to Create Interest and Rivalry Among Advertisers In the
 Daily Graphic.

In addition to the GRAPHIC's type typewriter No. to be given the most popular young man or lady in Pine Bluff, it now affords us pleasure to announce another contest of a novel character to be decided by popular vote, closing August 4, 1895. Thiscon- test will be for a gold pen with a handsome pearl holder to be awarded to the advertiser iii tle DAILY GRAPHIC who writes, or causes to be | written, the best. most interesting ! and popular advertisement. In the l DAILY GRAPHIC each assure will be ound blank coupon, to be filled out and voted, and the advertiser receiving the largest number of votes up to midnight on the 3rd will be awarded the prize.
 This contest will create riyaly among our advertisers for popular fayors, and at the same time interest the public in what our advertisers have to say and how they say it.
 Our readers will therefore do well to "keep an eye" on the GRAPHTC's adj yertising columns, select their fav- orite advertiser and vote for their choice early and often.
 The result of the vote will be pub lished every week in the Sunday

ARRIVED.
Mr. s. Massey, of the Kansas City Con.
 struction Company. In the City.

MT. s. Massey, of the Kansas City Construction Company, of Kan sas City, Mo, is in the city and reg istered at Hotel Trulock. Mr. Massey is the gentleman whom the GRAPHIC mentioned recently as being inter- ested in the proposed Pine Bluff & Malvern railroad, at which time we also stated that he would soon visit Pine Bluff for the purpose of going over the proposed line. That is ex- actly the object of Mr Masseys visit to Pine Bluff at this time. In the course of few days, in company with number of citizens, Mr. Massey will drive over the proposed linein private conveyance, going through Grant county via Sheridan to Malvern.
 The GRAPHIC is glad to welcome MT. Massey on this tour of inspee- tion, and We trust that the oppor- tunities for profitable railroad build ing will be so apparent to him on this trip, that he will decide to un- dertake the enterprise at once. It is certainly much-needed road, and it would certainly be paying road.
 We congratulate our citizens on the early prospects of the road.
