THE PERSIAN HORSE.
He Is Usually Gentle and One Of the
 Finest of Pets.

Bishops Journeys in Persia: Per sian horses are to be admired and liked. Their beauty is Q constant enjoyment, and they are almost in variably gentle and docile. It is in vain to form any resolution against making a pet of one of them. My new acquisition, Boy, insists on be- ing petted and his enticing ways are irresistible.
 He is always tethered in front of my tent with rope long enough to give him considerable liberty, and he took advantage of it the very first day to come into the tent and make it apparent that he wanted me to devide a lemon with him. Grapes were his preference, then came GU. cumbers, bread and biscuits. Finally he drank milk out of @ sout plate. He comes up to me and puts down his head to have his ears rubbed, and if I do not attend to him at once, or if I cease attending to him, he gives a gentle, but ad monitory thump.
 I dine outside the tent, and he is tied to my chair and waits with wonderful patience for the odds and ends, only occasionally rubbing his nose against my face to remind me he is there. A friendle snuffle is the only sound he makes. He does not know how to fight, or that teeth and heels are for any other uses than eating aud walking. He is really the gentlest and most .docile of his race. The point at which he draws the line is being led.
 Then he draws back, and a mulish look comes into his sweet eyes but he follows like dog, and when walk he is always with me. He comes when I call him, stops when l do, accompanies me when leave the road in search of flowers, and usu- ally puts his head either on my shoulder or under my arm. To him I am an embodiment of melons, GU cumbers, grapes, peaches, biscuits and sugar, with a good deal of pet ting and ear-rubbing thrown in.

THEY MAY FIGHT.
The Laws of Texas win Not Prevent
 Corbett and Fitzsimmons From Meeting in the Ring.

DALLAS, Tex, Sepf. 17.-After two days consumed in argument on the habeas corpus hearing of Jesse Clark charged with prize fighting, Chief Justice J. M. Hurt, of the Court of Criminal Appeals, decided this after noon that the act i'll the penal code hwas wholly imperative. The court said: eIt was I who first suggested to make prize fighting a felony. I wanted the State of Texas to take an advanced ground on the subject which regarded as the most brutal of acts. But my private opinion has nothing to do with the law. I am not responsible for the condition of the laws of your State; am not re- sponsible for the confusion of your statutes; am not responsible for the fact that it requires the highest intel feet and most searching examination such as we here had, to determine whether or not we have a law against prize fighting. 1 do not be- lieve that under the provisions of our statutes or the well settled rule of construction this man has violated law that has been so plainly writ ten that he is responsible for it and I will discharge him. 1 will give my reasons hereafter, in writing.9

THE OTHER SIDE.
A New View of the BIoomers Very Dis-
 heartenlng.

It was recently rumored in Paris that the perfect of police Twas about to issue an order prohibiting women from wearing ''bloomers. The rumor, according to the Chicago Record, aroused an outcry in de- fense of the new style apparel. So formidable was the outburst of popular sentiment the order was never issued.
 Among the objections urged against the perfect's determination the most novel was that of the pro- fessors in the Latin quarter. They sent a lengthy communication to the official setting forth "that since the women of the Latin quarter had taken to 'bloomers, whether in cycling or not, they had lost all charm for the students, who were now attending their classes regu- larly' The fear was also expressed that if the young women should take again to their former coquet- tish costumes they would regain their former aseendency over the students and cause t relapse into neglect of study.
 There's an argument for your antibloomers advocatel How do the bloonIer-wearers like the in- ference as to their .apparence when in bloomers? Is the bloomer to be advocated on the ground that when fair women appears in it she ceases to distract the masculine mind?

To the Farmers.

Having undertaken the task of supplying sixty bushels of the best corn (white or yellowj for decorat- ing the 5000 feet of space of the Ark ansas Exhibit at the Atlanta Expo sition, ten bushels was not supplied although promised, of the fifty bushels sent forward, five were laid aside as not up to the standard re- quired.

WEATHER CROP REPORT.
LACK OF PRECIPITATION DETRIMEN
 TAI TO ALL CROPS.
Complaint of Young Bolis Drying Up or Account of Excessive Heat
 Corn, Good.

LITTLE ROCK, ARK, Sept. IT, 1895. The temperature during the past week has averaged about ten degrees per day above the normal, and is the highest average temperature of the any week during the season. The sunshine has been above the aver age, with a total absence of precipi- tation is reported from all sections of the State.
 The dry weather and hot sunshine has, been detrimental to all crops, and a decided falling off in the con dition of cotton is reported except in the extreme northeast portion of the State.
 In most sections of the State the hot weather is causing the young bolls to open prematurely or fall off and some damage by rust is re- ported. Cotton is opening very rapidly and picking will become general during the ensuing week.
 Late corn has suffered by the drought, but a fair crop is made and about ready to gather Sweet pota- toes are doing fairly well, but Irish potatoes, turnips and fall gardens are suffering for rain, which is also needed to permit of stubbe breaking and fall blowing. The excessive heat has interfered with cotton pick ing. In localities pastures are dry ing up and stock water getting scarce.
 SOUTHEAST SECTION.
 Continued dry weather with ex- ceedingly high temperature has been injurious to all growing crops.
 Cotton continues to throw off fruit, and there is much complaint of the young bolls drying up on ac- count of the excessive heat. A de- cided falling off in condition is re- ported from all sections, and the outlook is not promising.
 Cotton is opening very rapidly and in some neighborhoods picking is general, though picking will not be- come general throughout the section until the latter part of the current week. Boil worms and sharp-shoot- CTS are still reported doing some damage in localities, but the army worm has done no damage as yet.
 Corn is being gathered quite gen erally, and is generally very good. In parts of Cleveland county cores pondents report "more weevil in corn in the field than was ever known before"
 Sweet potatoes, Irish potatoes and turnips are suffering for moisture and in some localities pastures are failing.

GIVE THEM GOOD WATER.
The Health of the Pupils of the Public Schools In Jeopardy on Account
 of Poor Drinking Water

Nothing causes so much sickness as poor drinking water, and just now, in this extremely sickly season, every precaution should be taken to se- cure pure drinking water. Consider ing that this fact cannot be disputed the GRAPHIC deems it but just that the attention of the School Directors should be called to the quality of the drinking water now being furnished the pupils of the public schools, and ask in the name of humanity that some steps be taken to either give better water or else have that now used filtered. There is great com plaint being made by the pupils. Many of them are unable to drink the hydrant water and they are compelled to go the houses in the vicinity of the school building for water when they wish their thirst quenched.
 The school Board should give this matter it's immediate attention.

The "I W. Harper Sour Mash whiskey is, we think, (and if you try it you will agree with us) the finest favored whiskies made in Kentucky. It is not sold until fully matured, and until the fusil oil has been eliminated. Indeed, we challenge any chemist to find drop of fusil oil in barrel of it when we put it on the market. It is especially commended for medical purposes, on account of it's purity, while as beverage we uA- hesitatingly assert that it is superior to the finest French COgnac.

QUAY SEEMS TO HAVE WON.
Hastings People. However, ms Con-
Gdenf OF Victory ms Ever.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. August H.
Conventions to nominate candidates for
county Offices and for delegates TO the
Republican State Convention at Harris
burg next Wednesday. were held to-day.
The county conventions excited little in
terest. as they were of the cut-and-dried
order, and the delegate conventions abb
sorb all the attention. as upon the result
Of their action hung the mastery OF the
Republican party leadership in Pennsyl-
ydnia.
Philadelphia has twenty-elght legisla-
tive districts. and these twenty-elght dis
tricts send seventy delegates to the con-
yention. As to the results of the con-
ventlons In the districts as they bear on
the QuayHastings fight. considerable
doubt and confusion exists Both sides
are claiming several districts, and In
two of them-the First and Fifth-there
was special interest and two conventions
were held and two sets OF delegates elect
81.
The estimate OF seventeen delegates for
Senator Quay. made in these dispatches
last night. seems 10 be about the right
number and the victory appears 10 rest
with him. as he was originally conceded
only ten delegates by his opponents.
Inc hastings lteuefS to-nlgnl give ~
Mr. Quay but fifteen delegates. but ia
city admit that AT least seven dele
yates are In the doubtful column. The
Hastings leaders claim they have won.
but their claim OF victory seems hardly
borne out.
Besides the seemingly-assured seventeen
votes the Quay estimate. Is one probable.
five contested and two pledged delegates.
which claim II borne out Will give Quay
twenty-five votes from Philadelphia.
AZ stated last night, as far az can be
predicted OF convention I'm which SO
many delegates are uninstructed, Sena-
tor Quay appears reasonably sure Of vic
tory, as the Dirt ~ sentiment through
out the State seems TO have set In his
favor. The Hastings leaders. however
appear undisturbed. and are as confident
Of victory as they were weeks ago.
