A Handsome Present

MT. J. P. Knox is q proud and happy father today, and well he has cause to be. He has two manly and industrious sons, Hunter and Van, aged 12 and l3 years, respectively.
 These bright young boys have been working all summer long, and had hoarded up their earnings un- known to their parents. It was not the greed of the miser that caused them to save their money, instead of spending it, as majority of boys would have done. but it was anobler motive which prompted their action. They desired to show their love for their father by giving him hand some present, purchased with the money for which they had toiled Saturday they purchased Q very handsome and beautiful gold watch and after breakfast this morning handed it to him as a slight token of the affection they felt for him.
 It was noble action, and shows a spirit of self denial on the part of the boys that is unusual in persons of their tender years. They are, in- deed, sons to be proud of.

A Burglar Robs a Printer.

MT. Idel Hawk, an employe of the Commercial, is today moaning the joss of hoarded wealth. Sunday night he retired to rest feeling as rich as prince, for in the pockets of his trousers he had, in the coin of the realm, $1.60. Idel was not as careful of his all as he should have been, for he did not wrap it uo and put it under his pillow, but left it in his trouser pockets, which he had laid on chair in his room. During the dark hours of the night bur glar bold effected an entrance into the room, discovered the trousers and hearing the jingle of the white metal in the pockets he quickly made his escape carrying trousers and money with him. The trousers were discovered in the front yard this morning, which enabled ldel to come down to his daily toll, but, alas, his money was gone.

Arrested For SIander.

Will Hamlinton, negro, is under arrest charged with slander Sev- eral days ago in crowd that had collected in the store of MT. Alex. Perdue, Hamlinton made the asser- tion that few nights previous Policemen Jefferson and Culpepper had arrested him, and that he gave them $10 to release him. He said that MT. Culpepper had given him a receipt for the money, and made other damaging remarks concerning the honesty of the two officers.
 The matter reached the ears of the Mayor and Chief of Police, and this morning the two officers were brought before the Police Judge and the Mayor that the matter might be investigated.
 Hamlinton and the men to whom he had told his story were also brought into court. When Ham linton was placed on the stand and put under oath he said that he had simply told the story of giving the officers $10 to release him from arrest only in fun, and denied that he had ever been arrested by them or given them money.
 The officers were completely ex- onerated. They at once went be- fore Magistrate Alexander and swore out warrant charging Ham linton with malicious slander He will be tried tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock.

LABOR'S TRIUMPHS.
Fen of The Wonders Of The World Built
 By The Hands of Men.

The Stone Trade News makes mention of what are considered as the ten most remarkable works of human labor:
 l The Pyramids of Egypt, the largest of which, near Cairo, known as the Great Pyramid, built by Cheops, King of Egypt, took 35O.O00 men twenty years to build.
 , The artificial reserYoir-Lake Moeris-built by Amenenba of the twelfth dynasty, which served to store up the water of the Nile during the season of floods. and distribute them by canals over the land during the dry season. It's circumference was 3,600 furlOngs, and oh it's being allowed to fall into ruin, the fertility of the region became. to a great ex- tent, q thing of the past.
 3 The Tai Mahal, tomb erected at Agra, in Hindostan, by Shah Jehan, over his Queen Moor Jehan. It is built of the purest white marble, and yet seems so airy that when seen from distance, it is so like a fabric of mist of sunbeams, with it's great dome soaring up, a silvery bubble about to burs in the sun, that even after you have touched it and climbed to it's summit you almost doubt it's reality. It cost over three million pounds.
 1 The Temple of Baalbee, in the erection of which stone 62 feet long, 20 feet broad, and l5 feet thick have been used-more prodigious masses than have ever elswhere been moved by human power and much exceed ing in size the stones used in the Pyramids.
 5 The Temple of Karnak, described by Ferguson as the noblest work of architectural magnifieence ever pro duced by the hand ofman. It covers twice the area of St. Peter's at Rome, and undoubtedly is one of the finest buildings in the world.
 The Great Wall of China, ,230 miles in length. It is 20 feet in height, and in thickness 25 feet at the base 15 feet at tho top.
 [ The Eiffel Tower, erected in the grounds of the 1889 Paris Exhibition, 9S4 feet high.
 Suez Canal, with S8 miles of waterway connecting the Mediter- ranean and Red Sea, and forming the principalroute to India. 1t cost more than 17 millions sterling, and IT., ,6O2 out of the 399, GIT shares were purchased by and belong to the British government.
 9 The railway bridge (the largest bridge in the world) over the Forth, with two spans each of l ,700 feet, erected at cost of nearly four millions:
 10 The leaning Tower of Pisa, which deviates E feet from the perpendicular.
 The following works were by the ancients esteemed the seven wonders of the world: The Pyramids; Tomb of Mausoleus; the Temple of Diana; the Hanging Gardens of Babylon; the Colossus of Rhodes; the ivory and golden statue of Jupiter Olymus; and the Pharos or Watch Tower of Egypt.

CLOSING WORDS
Concerning The Graphic's Typewriter and Bicycle Cnntests--The winners
 of The Prizcs

1t is oyer-the GRAPmc's Bicycle and Typewriter contest. and we feel sure that the contestants are glad of it. for there is an end to their anxiety. It proved to be the most exciting, yet at the same time. amieable event of the kind that ever took place in Pine Bluif For oyer forty days there was not Il daily GRAPHIC that circulated ia this city which Was not eagerly sought for and the coupons cut from them by the friends of the numerous can didates for popular favor. There is no question but that the scheme proved of vast benefit to the ad- vertising patrons of the GRAPHIC, and we are glad of it. because it was originated for that very purpose
 To the young people it proved of great interest, for it gave them q chance of showing their preference for their dearest friends and brought out those who stood formost in popular favor. That the winners of the handsome prizes were those of the most popular young ladies in Pine Bluff, there can be no gainsay. and each of them deserve the great esteem in which they are held by the patrons of the GRAPHIC, for they are models of their sex, possessing qualities that have endared them to all who know them
 To Miss Anna Lawlon fell the honor of winning the Typewriter, as the most popular young lady She is the daughter of !. C. Lawton, deceased, who for years was the agent of the Pacific Express Com pany, at this place. Her lamented father held a warm place in the hearts of our people, as does now his beautiful and talented young daughter as is shown by the large vote she received over all contes- tants i'll this race.
 The winner of the Bicycle was Miss Barbara MeGehee, an equally popular young lady. Miss McGehee, 1 like Miss Law ton, is ,tn orphan, her father, Mir Meriwether McGehee, l died years ago, as did his wife. The young lady was raised by Mrs. J. M. Hudson, her aunt, and under her care she developed into a noble woman, with graces of person and | mind that eompels the admiration of those into whose society she is thrown. Miss McGehee being the winner of the bicycle, also wins the handsome pair of l.. A. w. bicycle shoes donated by the shoe firm of J. Katzenstein.
 Miss Hudson, the charming daugh- ter of Capt. l. M: .:Hudson, was Miss Lawton's closest competitor for the typewriter. and being second i'll the contest, wins the handsome hat do- mated by the Kaufman Bazaar Co.
 Master Dave Berlin, a son of the lamented Joe Berlin, was second in | the contest for the bicycle. Dave is a manly little lad, and, although he was defeated, he may well feel proud | of the race he ran. He failed to get | this prize, but he has gained what is far better-the love and friendship of many who honor him for his in- dustry and manly ways. He is also to be given a bicycle by coterie of warm friends among whom the GRAPHIC begs to be num- bered.
 Before this article is closed the GRAPHIC again wishes to thank those who aided it so kindly, and also those who patronized it so iberally. And may they live long and enjoy peace and prosperity.
