 Gen. Gordon was greeted by a large and cultured audience at the Institute. The speaker was intro duced in happy manner by Rev. J. F. Carr, and when he stepped to the front of the stage Gen. Gordon was greeted with a hearty round of ap- plause, He acknowledged most gracefully the compliment paid him in the introduction, and said what ever he had been in peace or war he would be to the end

of the last council of Lee and his officers, and the subsequent confer ence between Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant which lead to the surrender at Apponatox, were thrilling and magnificent. He referred to Stone wall Jackson as the "thunderbolt of war" and "matchless soldier. He also paused to pay high tribute to the private soldiers, which was loudly applauded. Every victory whether on the side of the Confed- eracy or the Union, was won by an American soldier; and was monu- ment to American valoe. The per- oration was grand tribute to the flag of our fathers and lofty ap- peal for love and fraternity be- tween all the sections.
 There have been but few lectures, if any, every delivered in Pine Bluff more highly enjoyed by large au dience than that of Gen. Gordon $ last night. The J. Ed.

Getting in Practice.

Pine Bluff has in it's corporate linn it's more crack shots than any other city in the State, most of whom are great sportsmen. Two years ago a number of these gentlemen formed what was known as the Pine Bluff Gun Club, and for a time great inter- est was taken in practice shoots, which were gwen weekly, but this interest died out and the club almost went to pieces. We are delighted to learn that interest in this splendid sport is reviving and the Gun Club is once more to the front. The Club has recently erected a house and seats for the accommodation of visi- tors, near the water wo rks, where in future these practice shoots will be held often, to which the pub- lie, and especially the ladies are cor dial invited to witness. There is always an abundance of Ammunition on the grounds and any one who de sires to participate in the shooting may do so, at but little expense. Friday afternoon, one of the shoots took place, and ont of possible p the following scores were made:

s'Fun on the Bristol.v Y

eFun on the BristoI.v
 The presentation of the Imaginable comedy, Fun on the Bristol, ' at the Opera-house Friday evening, by home talent, was beyond a doubt the best amateur performance ever given in our city.
 The proceeds were for the benefit of the Episcopal Church, and was given under the auspices of the Young Ladies Guild.
 The play was chock full oflaughter from beginning to end, and all the members of the company did them selves great credit.
 The play was under the sta ge management of that talented young gen tleman, Mir. Frank Graham, who has proven himself quite an artist in managing amateur performances, and he can feel complimented at the smooth and professional-like man. ner in which Fun on the Bristol was presented.
 The Young Ladies Guild also used good judgment in selecting q farce comedy for the evenings entertain ment, as it is always appreciated, and in this line of acting the anna teur is always seen at bis best. But deliver us from the novice when he appears in Shakespeare. He should have too much respect for the mem ory of that distinguished writer than to "butcher' his writings, especially when he is not here to defend him. self
 The specialties presented were of an exceedingly good quality, and each singer was rounjly encored. The most notable one was Master Arthur Mehlinger, who, as a child singer and actor, we have never seen his superior, and he should take his rank among the professionals.
 The play met with such great aD- proval that the Ladies Guild have been earnestly solicited, and will likely have it presented again at an early date.

The work is being supervised by MT. P. J. Con- ley, Assistant Superintendent, and Mir. Wm. Terry, Road-master.
 We understand from a reliable source that there is nothing in the rumor current among railroad men that General Superintendent J. A. Edson has resigned. The employees will be glad to hear this for there never has been an official connected with this company who was esteemed more highly.

formed that this or that thing has come to
stay" A strong purpose is good, but doing
the thing is even better. One of the great

advertisements Of which we are printing
elsewhere. This famous old family remedy
has stayed in the homes Of the country
ffty.fve years, and Is to-day IN )re popular
