Last nigh. the dog poisoner was again at his vil!ainous work and di- recied his attention to Spot, Col. Haf- lords setter. Spo: was known and loved by all, and had but one enemy, the person who threw him the pois- oned meat which caused the innocent fellow his death. The fact ti.at the dog was chained when he received the poisonous meat, shows a maiiciousness against an unoffendIng brute that we are 10th to think human being could be guilty of.

AN ACCIDENT.

William Long sustained q severe injury yesterday by driving the point of a pick into his foot. We could not learn, up to time of writing, how seri- ous the wound may be, but we hope for tae best.
 While swapping few iron-clads with our ioyial postmaster yesterday, the Rev Mr. Prichard told Us yarn that IS corker. When attending Queens college, OHtsrio, MT. Prich- ards professor Of mathematics was an absent-mIIded old gentleman named Williams. Professor Williams was eternally struggling with some math- ematical problem. One day he was observed during a rain storm ploddlng along the road, his head bowed over e book which he carried in his left hand while in his right he held his walking stick on high to shield him from the rain, under the impression that it was an umbrella. That's somewhat like one We know on Dr. Tony. Last week the doctor placed notice upon his door: "Will be back in half an hour" and started down town. 4 few steps from his door the docipr recoliected he had left his watch behind and reached into his trowsers' pocket for Lis watch to see fl he had time enough to go back and get it. He hurried back to his office and reading the notice he had previously attached upon the door he sat down to wait half hour for his return. We won't swear 10 this, but Tommy Woods told ii to us.

a TALE OF WOE.

He went to the West, for they
told him the climate was fit for a
prince, a pope or a primate; that
one man could raise harvests suf-
iicient for twenty and the land was
just reeking and rolling in plenty,
and that Eden itself was bare and
lugubrious compared with this re-
gion so rich and salubrious.
He went to the west settled
down as a squatter, and walked a
league for half pail of water,
then as the summer grew dryer
and dryer and he grew so lean that
he could not perspire, he walked
thirteen miles-and his thirst made
him nimble--to get enough water
to fill up a thimble.
Then a cyclone came on like a
wild devastation and removed his
whole farm to another location,
and he, who in Iowa was a regis
tered voter, was now a resident of
Southern Dakota. Then a wild
western dcluge came on in its fury
and his farm hoated down the mud
dy Missouri,
And at length, when his migrat
ing farm came to anchor, he was
still on deck like a Cassabianca.
Then the snow fell 50 deep there
that all Of the people they entered
their churches by way of the stee-
pie, Then the spring floods came
on with tempestuous motion and
washes the whole country way
down the ocean,

The Secret ofa Long Life.

You sometimes see a woman
whose old age Is as exquisite as was
the perfect bloom Of her youth
You wonder how that came about
you wonder how II Is her life has
been a long and happy one, Here
are some of the reasons
She knew how to forget disagree
able things
She understood the art OF enjoy
ment,
She kept her nerves well in hand,
and inflicted them on no one,
She believed in the goodness OF
her own daughters and in that OF
her neghbors
She cultivated a good digestion.
She mastered the art Of saying
pleasant words,
She did not expect too much
from her friends,
She made whatever work came TO
her congenial,
She retained her illusion, and did
not believe that all the world was
wicked and unkind,
She relieved the miserable and
sympathlsed with the sorrowful'
She retained an even disposition,
and made the best Of everything.
She did whatever came to her
cheerfully and well.
She never forgot that kind words
and d smile cost nothing, but are
priceless treasures to the discour'
aged
She did unto others as she would
be done by, and now that old age
has come to her, and there Is a halo
of white hair about her head, she is
loved and considered,
This Is the secret OF a long and
happy HE, Ladies' Home Journal

Contract Let.

The Little Rock Press says that
the contract for the first twenty
miles of the Little Rock b Pacific
railroad has been let to Quigly &
Co., of ST. Louis, the lowest bidders,
They have put seventy-dve men to
work, who are now engaged in
throwing dirt at Thirticth street in
Little Rock, near the Iron Noun
tain railroad track. More men will
be put on it at once, and the work
rushed,
This Is another new railroad for
Arkansas, and we hope by spring
that several other lines now talked
Of will be under construction. The
Little Rock Rock q Pacific will 60
by Fort Smith, at least we learn SO,
and strike through the Indian coun.
try in a westerly direction to some
Texas point, This will be the only
road penetrating the Nation from
an eastern direction with a western
course, all the lines now crossing
the strip being from north to south
and running In the same direction.

SOMETHING UP.

Superintendent Doddridge of the
Iron Mountain railroad and Super
intendent Joe Edison of the Cotton
Belt came in over the north end of
the Cotton Belt last night. These
two superintendents have made
several trips together the past six
or eight weeks and the inference is
that something is dead up the
creek" as to these two roads. Some
say one thing, and others have a
different view as to their movement.
The TExARKANIAN reporter who
never sleeps when he gets on a
scent of a real live piece of news
thinks he has caught on to their
movement, and it is likely that in
a short time, the Cotton Belt trains
will be running up to the big red
depot, now known as the union de-
pot, and that Col. Swindell will be
punching tickets as well as selling
for both roads. If this be true
solution to their movements there
will be general shaking up of
bones on both the Iron Mountain
and Cotton Belt for one set of local
officials will be sure to be let out, as
also will many Of the yard men, be
decapitated. This will be saving Of
many thousand dollars to the roads
and a great convenience to the
travelling public Railroad superin-
tendents find it to their advantage
to land their passengers where they
can step on to some connecting road
even if they be at war on rates
with the connecting lines, and of
late years they have. been concen-
trating their depots to one grand
central point in all cities of any
note. The Cotton Belt road is
owned by the Gould interest, and
80 is the Iron Mountain and why
these two roads have been at
seeming war" has always been
mystery The next two months
will tell the tale as to the unionizing
Of these two roads at one common
point in our city
