TIE October number of Lippincott's contains very excellent suggestion in regard to good roads, a subject in which the people of the United States are very much interested at present. The writer of this article believes that good thoroughfares, like charity, should begin at home. .'On the day when each commonwealth" he says, "afteI careful and satisfactory tests, unbiased by bribery, preferment, or political affinity and reward, compels by act of law the laying of whatever kind of paving is the best for country and city use-on that day the millennium may be described approaching. Then the American tally-ho coach will exist in reason. because of (and not despite the lack of) fitting roads along which to roll it's picturesque expanse. Parties planning pedstrian tours will not have to cross the seas to find starting point for their itinery; country homes will be more sought for and more en- joyed; and native American will begin to form an acquaintance with the un- dreamed of beauties of his own land. based upon something else but snap shot glimpses from railroad train, and deepened into an interest and ad- miration made possible only through the intimacy begotten of good roads.

REGARDING the mis-statement of the Searcy Citizen concerning indepen- dent candidate, Col, Hasley is done a great injustice, unintentionally we hope. Col. Hasley states had he a drop of any other blood in his veins but Democratic he would let it out. No stress of circumstance or hanker- ing after office, no wound from any tricky combination, even though the wound be as deep as we'll and as wide as a church door, could ever induce hlm to run as a candidate on any platform other than the straight Dem ocratic, nor would he run as an inde- pendent on no platform at all" Col. Jim also says remember the old axiom 'he laughs best who langhs last" Give James Hasley white mans chance, give him primary election instead of convention and Jim Hasley will wind up the laughing match. Jim Hasley is our next congressman. Stick a pin in this and don't forget to say good word for Jas. Hasley."

THE PHOTOGRAPHERS 4 OF SHERMAN AND
 LONGSTREET.

Two autobiographies have been re- cefving the attention of newspapers and literati for the past few days
 They have one point of similarity in that the author of each attacks in some manner the reputation of illus uious men now dead.
 The autobiography of John Sherman is isreceiving the more attention just now, inasmuch as the disclosures of intrigue in republican politics, is interesting reading when launched at the zenith of excitement over political campaign. It is doubly interesting when We con- slider that it's author has been a prom inent republican in the pub :, lie service for forty years. The im- pression is left with the reader of the advance sheets pertaining to the re- publican national convention of 1880, that Garfield betrayed Sherman in be- half of himself. We do not believe this to be true, but admitting that it is, , the people of the United States feel, no doubt, that they have another : cause for which to admire Gen. Gar field. We can conceive of no more dis astrous occurrence than one which would conduce to the election of John ], Sherman as president of the United States. The Ohio senator has no exact parallel in our history. Unlike Clay,
 Webster, and Blaine, who vainly coveted the presidential chair, Sher- man will have few sympathizers wbo will regard his failure of election as a national loss. History is very lenient in dealing with men. but whether or mot it's leniency will ignore the methods employed by Sherman, and hold him up to future generations as the peer of sClay, Webster, and Blaine, is largely problematical, with indications pre- iponderating on the negative.
 The autobiography of Gen. Long street has not been ignored by the press, but the interest in it is of such character that it may be held in abey- iance in order to take up something more pressing. Gen. Longstreet, in ihis book, attacks the ability of Gen. Lee as Il military leader, in general, and as the commanding general at 'Gettysburg especially. We have not read this book, our information com ing from printed extracts, and shall say nothing concerning his futile at tempt to detract from the glory of the great Southern leader.

THE NORTH POLE.

Nobody will believe that DIR. Nansen has
discovered the north pole until he shows a
sample of the wood.-Cincinnati Tribune.
The north pole having been found it
only remains for American enterprise to
string trolley wire on it.-Philadelphia
Record.
The report that DIR. Nansen has discov-
cred the north pole should be accompanied
with q small end of the earth's axis, Just
as an evidence of good faith.-Kansas City
Star,
1t Is not impossible that the rumor is a
forecast of the news. For several reasons
it is hoped that it is. The principal reason
is the negative one that it will discourage
arctic exploration for some time to come.
The other is that it will add to positiya
knowledge, ,--BrQQklyn Eagle.
If Nansen returns at all, he will proba-
bly, return without having reached much
farther north than others have gone, but
in any event the search will go on. If he
should report the pole found, dozen ex-
ploring parties would be organized TO con-
firm Or disproye the assertion.-New York

so proud to be the countrywoman of such
soldiers and SO sorry to be i'll another
country that her voice failed her and she
burst into tears. 1 have never forgotten
that girl, and I think she very nearly
deserves a statue To call her young
lady, with all its niminy associations,
would be to offer her an insult. She
may rest assured of one thing, although
she never should marry heroic gen.

FASHION IN OLD JERUSALEM.
The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
geously Arrayed Indeed.

The Jewesses of Ancient Times Were Cor
geously Arrayed Indeed.
AS far back as seven centuries before
the Christian era there were very gayly
dressed women in Jerusalem. The
Prophet Ezekiel tells of them. They had
garments of silk adorned with broidered
work. Their bodies were swathed in fine
linen. They had shoes of badger skin.
They wore ornaments of gold and sill
yer, rings in the ears, bracelets on the
wrists, a chain around the neck, jewel
over the brow and a crown upon the
head.
The prophet speaks of the earrings
which were worn by the women of Je=
rusalem, but these ornaments were worn
by Jewesses ages before the time of
Ezekiel, even in the days of Moses and
earlier yet There were earrings among
the other gifts in the oblation given to
Moses, as described in the book of Num-
bers. The first Biblical reference to
them is in the part of Genesis which
tells how Rebekah obtained as q gift a
"golden earring of half shekel weight
from Abraham's servant, who put it
upon her face" At a later period the
patriarch Jacob procured all the ear
rings which belonged to his household
and hid them under an oak tree. Sub
sequently to that time earrings are fire.
quently spoken of in the Bible Even
Job, the patient man of Uz, must have
owned lot of them in the latter part of
his life, for when all his brethren and
all his sisters and all his acquaintance
came to comfort him under his aff1ic-
tions "every one of them gave him an
earring of gold.
In the very early periods of Jewish
history women seem to have been as
fond Of dress and decorations as they
are in modern times. When the daugh-
ters of Jerusalem were appareled and
bejeweled in the way described by
Ezekiel, their garments and ornaments
must have been nearly as expensive as
those of the grand DANES who now shine
in society. The wearing of 'divers col
ors," however, does not seem to have
been a mark of honor. New York Sun,

SELF DEFENSE.
9he Law Relating Thereto Laid Down by
the Supreme Court.

A United States district judge in
Arkansas instructed jury that every
where except within his own house the
law requires man to run away and do
his best to escape from an assailant be-
fore killing him. The judge further
said that when assaulted ON his own
premises, but outside of his house, a
man must show his sense of danger by
efforts to escape before his plea that he
killed his assailant to save himself from
great bodily harm can be accepted.
This instruction was handed down
from ancient times when weapons Of
assault consisted of knives, bludgeons,
swords, etc., which an active man had
some chance of escaping. But it is not
applicable to these days of revolvers
and winchesters, whose bullets no man
can dodge or outrun, and the United
States supreme court has sent it to the
black letter lumber garrett.
The man sentenced to eight years
imprisonment by the Arkansas judge
obtained from the supreme court an or
der for a new trial under new instruc-
tion. This new instruction declares that
wherever a man may be, if he has a
right to be there and if he has not him
self provoked the assault, the law justi
fes him in standing his ground and
killing his assailant provided the prov
able circumstances are such as to satiE-
fly a jury that he had reasonable grounds
for believing and acted on the belief
that the killing was necessary to protect
himself from great bodily harm.
Putting any further limitation Oh the
right to kill in self defense would abol-
ish it altogether. Arkansas is only one
of the many states in which a man may
have to decide very hastily whether he
shall be tried for killing a fellow citi-
zen or let the fellow citizen be tried for
killing him. In these cases, with his
attention excitedly fixed ON his assail-
ant, he has no time to get legal advice
or to study the necessities of the situa-
tion through the eyes of bystanders.
Court and jury will do that afterward,
and he is under restraint enough when
he knows that in saving himself from
the peril of the moment he incurs the
further peril of having to satisfy jury
that his act as justified by the circum-
stances. New York World.
