Classics

An ancient controversy has recently
been revived in England by the ques-
ton as TO what really constitutes a
classic Some define 1t as IAN ancient
author, highly approved, who is an au-
thority on the subject he treats of"
Goethe on the other hand, protested
against the confusion of what is classic
with what Is merely old, and declared
that all "healthy work. no matter
whether modern or ancient, is classic.
The French Academy, speaking ex
cathedra, defines classic authors as
those who have become models in. any
language" while Sante- Beuye declares
that true classic is asn author who has
enriched the human mind" Indeed,
notwo opinions on the subject seem to
coincide. and what appears to be
classic to one sort Of people Is refused
that qualification by othera

A REMARKABLE TOUR.
Ringing Bros Great Circus Universally
 Indorsed.

Ringling Bros. Worlds Greatest Shows, which exhibit in this city Friday next, October 11th, have had a remarkable tour this year The season began with phenomenal engagement in Chicago, during which forty-fye consecutive per formances were given to audiences aggregating nearly a million people. The show was a revelation to all who witnessed the performances, and the universal verdict was that nothing to compare with it had ever been seen in that city, The conservative Tribune declared it was the most satisfactory and con- plete circus ever seen in Chicago, and every other Chicago newspaper indorsed the verdict. In St. Louis twelve performances were given to audiences that crowded the immense hippodrome pavilion afternoon and night, and the Globe-Democrot of that city voiced the general senti- ment when it declared that mo such evolution of the circus had ever before been seen in St Louis. Indianapolis, Detroit and other large cities followed in rapid succession, and then came an exten- sive tour of New York and New Eng land, during which every important city in that section of the country was played to the largest audiences ever attracted by circus.
 Twelve consecutive performances were given in Boston, and the audiences were so large as to excite wonder even in that notable amuse- ment-loving city. The success of the show was pronounced. No circus that ever exhibited there ever received such an ovatation from the pubic, or such nnstinted praise from the newspapers. The Boston Herlad commended it editorially as the greatest of all American amuse- ment institutions. The Globe de- clared that it was "tbe best circus by all odds that ever visited Bos- ton, and the Journal called it the "best show in existence" In every other section of the country visited by Ringling Bros. Great Circus this year, the verdict has been the same, and no such triumph has ever been known in the history of amuse- ments anywhere. It is evident that such a success as this must be founded on merit. None but a really great exhibition could so thoroughly commend itself to the public.

TELEGRRAPH.

For some time the GRAPHIC has been negotiating with the Union Associated Press for ,000 words of telegraph each day, and We are pleased to announce this morning that all arrangements to that end have now been consummated We had hoped to start this service on last night, but yesterday afternoon we received a telegram from tho President of the Association stating that it would require several days to arrange and start the service to this noint
 The Union Associated Press num- bers some of the best afternoon and morning daily newspapers through out the country as members of their Association, among which are the Philadelphia Call, Cincinnati Tribune Waco (Tex) Telephone, Toledo, (O) Ne,os, Jacksonville, (Fla.) Metropolis. Utica, (N. Y.) Joaraal, Richmond, (Va.) .Star, Portland, (Ore) Stu, Charleston, (S. O Post, Pittsburg Press, Kansas City Kai7, Houston, [Tex.) Press, Indianapolis Sun and a number of others.
 The service of this Association  will enable the DAILY GRAPHIC to give it's readers the most important news each day from twelve to eigh- teen hours ahead of any daily news paper, and it is a stroke of enter prise which, we trust, will receive the appreciation and patronage of the Pine Bluff public.
 It is a well known fact that tele- graph service is an expensive lux ury," and outside of the Little Rock dailies there is not daily pa per in Arkansas that takes tele- graph. ? Several have tried tele- graph reports as an experiment, but have had to abandon them in the end. But by a successful combina tion with the Little Rock Dails Press, the GRAPHIC secures the ser vices of the Union Associated Press at a reasonable price, and if the en terprise receives proper suppori and encouragement 1t will be con tinued otherwise, not.
 If the Pine Bluff public really want live daily newspaper witt telegraphic dispatches, here is theil opportunity. The DAILY GRAPHIC with the dispatches and at the low subscription price of 15 cents week should enter every home 1T Pine Bluff.

Uses OF fSambOO.

The Chinese cultivate it in piauta-
tons. They have a method of keeping
the shoots cut down close to the ground
for three years, not allowing them to
grow until the fourth. These young
shoots, besides being boiled and serv-
ing as fresh vegetables, are also pre-
served by different methods. being
either candied or picked. One Of the
medicines Of Chinese physicians, called
tabachir, Is extracted from the bam-
boo, being developed from fluid Sc
creted in the joints. But II the leaves
possessed the wonderful properties
claimed for them, there would be no
need to extract tabachir. A charm
against sickness or misfortune has
only to be written on a bamboo leaf,
the leaf burned, and the ashes mixed
with tea and drunk.
While speaking Of 1t as food and
medicine, a more direct application
may be mentioned: administered ex-
ternally in the form of bastinado, bam-
boo has extinguished the life of many

existence which 1t might also have been
the means Of supporting. A most bar

Cross Examining a Witness.

A well-knOwn criminal lawyer, who
prides himself upon his skill in cross
examining a witness, had an Odd-look-
ing genius upon whom to operate. The
witness was shoemaker

"Yes, sir, cause why, she confessed
it." :.
"And you also swear she bound shoes

II do, SIR
'Then." giving sagacious look to the
court, I'VE are to understand that you
employ dishonest people to work for
you. after their rascalities are known -
"Of course; how else could l get as
sistance from lawyer"
The counsel said STAND aside" In a
tone which showed that if he had the
witness head in chancery little mercy
might have been expected. The judge
nearly choked himself in a futile en-
deavOr to make the spectators believe
that a laugh was nothing but a hic-
cough, while the witness stepped down.

"John," said a furniture salesman,
the other day, to the mover whom he
had summoned, this bedroom set is
sold, but it is not to be delivered just
yet. Move it out of the salesroom at
once and store it somewhere till want
it."
whats the use Of moving it till you
send it up to me?" asked the purchaser,
idly. "Why don't you leave it where
it is?''
The salesman uttered a queer laugh,
and said:
ut is evident that you were never
in the furniture business, or you would
not ask that question. If l should
mark that set sold and leave it here
in the salesroom in plain sight it would
probably lose us several good sales"
"How SOP" asked the purchaser, with
an unbelieving look.
1T illustrates universal weakness
of nature" laughed the salesman. "Ev-
erybody wants what he can't get, and
there is nothing quite so attractive to
the average buyer as piece Of furni-
ture that somebody else has bought
before he came around. If l left that
bedroom set out marked 'sold,' half q
dozen persons would say before night
that it was exactly the set they wanted,
and when they heard there were no
duplicates they would fuss around en-
yiously and nothing else in the estab-
lishment would satisfy them.
Eventually they would 60 off dis
contentedly and buy elsewhere, though
the chances are that If there was no
sold tag on the set none of them would
give it more than passing glance,
while fair proportion of them would
purchase other sets. 1t is little human
weakness, that's all.
so arises one Of the tricks Of the
trade. When a dealer sells a piece of
furniture of which he has no duplicates
he hustles it out of the salesroom as
quick as he can, lest it lose him other
trade. But when he sells a piece of
which he has duplicates he puts big
sold tag on it and leaves it in open
sight as long as possible for bait for
otherS."-New York Herald.
