Not Well Posted.

Mayor Goldsmith is causing con- siderable work to be done on the streets, and they already present a greatly improved appearance. In- steak of sending offenders to the county farm, they should be put on the chain gang, which action would result in our streets being kept in a neat and passage condition.-Com- mercial.
 Our contemporary seems to be just little 'daffy' as to the power of the Mayor. He infers that he can compel all prisoners sent to the county farm to work out their fines and costs upon the streets of Pine Bluff. This Is not the case. Only persons convicted in the Police Court can be made to work upon the streets. Those convicted in the Mag istrate courts are county prisoners, and the city has no jurisdiction over them. The chain gang, composed of violators of city laws and ordinances, since the beginning of Mayor Gold smiths administration, have been doing splendid work in all parts oi the city, and our contemporary, by inference that such has has not been the case, does our worthy Mayor an injustice.

ANOTHER DEFEAT.
The Dickerson Arms Ball Club Win the Third Game from the Home club.

Quite alarge crowd of lovers of base ball assembled at Jones' Park last afternoon to witness the third game of the series between the Dickerson Arms Club, of Little Rock, and the Pine Cities. After the first inning the game was a splendid one. Both clubs played good ball and the game was quite exciting. But on account of costly errors in that first inning the visitors were allowed to make eight runs and the home boys could never hope to win. The score at the ninth inning stood 15 to 6 in favor of the Little Rock club.

THE USES OF CORK.

In Spain beehives, kitchen pals, and
other culinary utensils are made of cork,
including pillows. In Italy images and
crosses are carved out of it,and footpaths
are paved with it. In Turkey it forms
cabins for the coax cutters and collins
for the dead. In Morocco it appears in
the form Of drinking vessels, plates. tubs,
and water conduits. In Algeria shoes.
armor, and boats, and various articles of
furniture consume their share. Cups
made of cork have been recommended
for the use of hectic persons. One ia.
miliar article in which a great deal Of
cork is used in our own country is the
cork jacket, an adjunct to the outfit
OF the mariner which cannot be dis
pensed with. This life protecting appa-
ratus, although no doubt vast improve
ment on the original, cannot be classed
among modern Inventions; for Plutarch
in his life OF Camillus, mentions that the
messenger sent by that general to his
fellow citizens when besieged in the
Capitol used cork jacket in swimming
across the Tiber, the Gauls being in pos
session of the bridge. The Portuguese
use cork for structural purposes, such
as roofing houses and lining wells, as
we'll as in articles Of domestic use.

The Camel and the Miller.

Did you ever hear the fable of the
camel and the millerP One night mil
Ter was walked up by his camel trying to
get its nose into the tent. "It's cold out
here" said the camel. II only want to
put my nose in" The miller made no
objection. After while the camel asked
leave to have his neck in, then his fore
feet; and so. little by little, it crowded
in it's whole body. This, as you may
we'll think. was very disagreeable to the
miller, and he bitterly complained to the
forth putting beast. IF you don't like
it, you may CO." answered the camel.
"As for me, I've got possession, and I
shall stay. You can't get rid of me now"
Do you know what the camel is like?
Bad habits; little sins. Guard against
the first approaches, the most plausible
excuses. only the nose of sin. If you do
not, you are in danger. 1t will surely
edge itself slowly in. and you are over
powered before you know it. Be on your
guard. Watch!

REMARKABLE GIANTS.

The teeth and bones of the fossil ele
plants found in Europe we're assigned
in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eigh-
teenth centuries to giants, and many are
the stories which were commonly re-
ported about them-as, for example, that
Of the giant of Dauphine, in the reign
of Louis XIV. His remains were dis
covered by a surgeon, who stated that
they were enclosed in an enormous sep
ulchre covered with a stone slab, bear
ing the inscription Teutobochus rur !;
and that in the vicinity there was also
found coins or medals, all OF which
showed the remains to be those of
giant king OF the Cimbri, who fought
against Marius. However, the original
owner of these bones. though not of the
coins, was proved to be an elephant.
The story Of Teutoboches is even ex
celled by that of another giant. called
the giant OF Lucerne, whose remains
when dug up where examined by cele-
brated Professor of Basic, who described
them as Of human origin, and was skill
full enough to put them together SO as to
resemble giant no less than twenty
six feet high. For some time the deluded
people OF Lucerne paid homage to this
elephantine prodigy, until the scales
we're removed from their eyes by Blum
enback, who pronounced to their aston
ished senses that the giant, as it lay in
state at the Jesuits' College, was but the
skeleton of an elephant.

Mary watched him for some time, and
then she ran away and seemed to forget
all about the signal light; but she did
not, as was afterward shown.
The next day she came to watch old Jim
trim the lamps, and after he had seated
her on the coil of rope, he turned to dc
his work. just then the wind carried
away one of his cloths and old Jim be.

Mary slipped from her place and ran
into the cabin; but she soon came back
and put folded paper into his hand.
Old Jim opened it. and there, printed
in large letters-for Mary was too young
to write-were these words; "Thou shalt

OF our task seems very long.
When our burdens look too heavy.
And we deem the right all wrong,
Then we gain now, fresh courage
AS we rise and brightly say,
