HILZHElM'S HIGH HAT.

Representative Sam. F. Hilzheim, who suddenly became famous Cover night, so to speak), by introducing in the Legislature a bill for abolish ing the wearing of high hats in places of amusement, has placed himself, at the same time, in a rather embarrass- ing position, as far as the ladies are concerned, and has gone so far as to call forth the following advice, in verse, from one of his friends: What dolefu news comes from Little Rock,
 What has struck our Assembly man? It was, forsooth, q top-heavy shock
 That barely survive can. Why are you warning upon the hat
 That graces the heavenly coil Of female hair, that's hers, or that
 Was others? O. stop the turmoill If you take the hats from them away
 And leave of their glory them shorn, You'd wish you had never seen the day,
 The mournful day. when you were born. And watch the result. the glorious fun
 Of your high tyranical act. Their hair will be built a la Babylon
 In the play houses that will be packed. o, Hilzheim, what have the milllners done?
 What guiles have the hairdressers used, For you to sit SO vigorously on
 The chapeau that always amused? And while we listen to sweet muscs strains,
 The strains of their hair may come loose. Would, willingly. you cause to females pain,
 Become subject to their abuse? Nay, leave them their hats you will not re- penD,
 With feathers, and ribbons, and flowers, And they will erect you a monument That high above all of them towers -LJacob Frank

COTTON LETTER
Furnished by srrank c. Dyai X co., Brokers
 and cnmmisson Merchants.

PINE BLUFF, Feb. 9.-Liverpool receded somewhat from the advance of yesterday and closed 1 lower, but sentiment on this side seems 10 have turned towards higher prices, and no decline has resulted here, in fact, the closing is one point above yesterday The only feature of the day was the strength on spots which although not advanced in price, were quoted very firm with sales $50, and l, l50 to arrive. Today be- gins the new week and receipts at ports are estimated at only IT, GOO. For Monday New Orleans expects Il GOO as compared with 4,000 last year and If, GOO in g. Weather in- dications point to rains after the present freezing weather shall have disappeared It is unnecessary that q wet spell would interfere with the movement fully as much as the recent cold one, and it is therefore not unreasonable to look forward to a considerable decrease in receipts for while to come. Many cables have been sent lately to Europe an nouncing that the recent movement is the immediate result of bad weather, but we are inclined to be- lieve that foreign markets are not prepared for a proloN ged continu- anee of present conditions, hence our expectations of better prices.

Royal Baking Powder is the epurest and highest in strength of any of the baking powders, and hence makes more, finer and better food. These are the official lasts as set forth by the U. $. Government and the various State Chemists reports. Of course great efforts will be made by those Interested in the sale of the cheaper made, alum powders, to continue their sale where consumers have made up their minds to have the Royal and callfor it at their, ,grocers. The Royal Powder is so much supe- rior to all the orher preparations for quick raising, that it will amply re- pay house-keepers to use the neces- sary persistency to procure il in spite Of all objections. 1
