The Climax of a Coon Hunt.

We snatched brands from the burn
ing and sped to the fallen top. Amid
the tangle of broken branches and
matted twigs, maelstrom OF fight
was whirling. There was not 80 much
noise-rather a strain of savage effort
and one deep mufled snarl of rage.
We waived our fire sticks and yelled
encouragement.
Presently Buffer came backing from
the branches heaving and tugging at
some resisting weight; at once he
spun about and had his prey in the
open. We could see something
wrapped around his head. and would
hear the click of teeth and the steady
rip-rip of flying claws. Yet the good
dog made no sound beyond his labored
breathing. He was fast to great he
coon, and had not yet got his favorite
hold. We forgot Pup and Hunter
we forgot everything except the mill
to the death. We swung the FIRE
stioks and war-danced wildly around
the fight, beseeching the dog to ''stay
with him !" to seat him upl" and sc

Great Blast.

Seven tons of gunpowder were employed
in great blast at Penrhyn Quarres,
Bethesda, North Wales. The object in
view was the demolition of a'huge pinnacle
of rock, which has been picturesque OBJ
iect for generations, and which must be a
familiar memory to the thousands who
visit the spot every year. Some idea OF
the gigantic dimensions of the place raay
be gathered from the fact that the rock
face between the different terraces issome-
where about sixty feet in depth. The
peak rose in the midst of the amphitheatre
formed by the quarries-it is estimated to
have contained over 1876, 900 tons. Quite a
crowd gathered to witness the effect OF the
blast, and certainly those present were not
disappointed in the spectacle afforded.
On tue signal being given, the gunpowder
was ignited, and amid the curling smoke @
the pinnacle was seen to tottcr, and then

Held For ssKilling' an Apple Tree.

In Magistrate Ritter's court, KY,
7. M. Jaggers was held for Circuit
Court on bond of S1O0 for deadening
an apple tree belonging to his neigh
Dor, David Sanders. There was only
one apple tree on Sanders farm, but
it was very prolific and Jaggers re-
quested his neighbor to divide the
fruit with him, but Sanders refused
to do 80, thereupon Jaggets became
angry and declnred that he would kill
the tree. In short time the tree
was deadened and Jaggers was ar-
rested. The evidence against him is
wholly circumstantial: = louisville

LOST LETTERS.
Many Misdirected Missives Get
Into Postofices.
Useful Hints About the Sending
Of Mail Matter.

Every day about 5000 letters are
received at the New York postoffice
addressed incorrectly. AS n result
Postmaster Dayton will distribute
cards telling people how to send mail
matter.
Here are some of the suggestions on
the card:
Don't mail any letter until you are
sure that it is completely and properly
addressed. Don't place the address
80 that there will be no room for the
postmark.
Don't, in the hurry of business, in
addressing q letter, write the name OF
your own state upon it instead of that
! of the person addressed-a very COM
mon error.
Don't fail to make certain that your
manner of writing the name OF an Of
flee or state may not cause tito be
mistaken for one similar in appear
ance. It is often better to write the
name in full.
Don't fail, if you are in doubt as to
the right name of the Office for which
your letter is intended, to consult the
postal guide, which any postmaster
will be pleased to show you.
Don't fail to give the street and
house number of the person for whom
mail matter is intended in addressing
it to city or large town.
Don't mail any letter until you are
sure that it is properly stamped.
Don't fail to place the stamp on the
upper right hand corner.
"Don't write on the envelope, Gin
haste. "In care of the postmaster, "
etc. 1t does no good, and tends to
confusion in the rapid handling OF
mail matter.
Don't fail to bear in mind that it is
unlawful to inclose matter Of a high
class In one that IS lower-e. g., mer-
chandise in newspapers.
Don't mail any letter unless your
address, with request to return, is
upon the face or the envelope, so that
in case of n-delivery it will. be re-
turned directly to you.
Don't fail to give your correspond
ents your full address, SO that a new
postman cannot fail to find you.
Don't fail to inform your postmas-
ter of any change in your address.
Don't trust to the fact that you are
an "old resident" "well-known citi-
zen, etc., but have your letters ad-
dressed in full.
Don't fail if you intend to be away
from home for any length of time to
inform your postmaster what DISPOSE
ton shall be made of your mail
Don't delay the delivery of any
mail matter that you may take out for
another.
Don't fail to sign your letters in
full, 80 that if they reach the dead
letter Office they may be promptly re-
turned.
Don't when you fail to receive an
| expected letter, charge the postal ser.

Cradle Song.
The crickets in the corner sing,

The crlcSetS IN the corner sing,
Ger farm and field the shadows creep
Their homeward way the swallows wing
The sun is setting iu the deep.
The squirrels seek their leafy hold,
The fox is in his hollow tree,
And, huddled In their silent fold,
The downy lambkins sleeping be.
The little bird within his nest
Hath hid his little head in rest,
And, soon, oh, soon
The dreamy moon
Will sail along the heecy west;
The day is done,
The night begun,
So sleep, my drowsy little one.
But when at peep of day we see :
The spider weaving at his loom,
The soaring lark above the lea,
The bee amid the clover bloom;
When frisking baby squirrels wake
And sip the leaves of morning dew,
When baby foxes from the brake
Do prowl the thorny hedges through.
When on the meadows sweet with hay
The white and curly lambkins play,
And, fresh ard cool,
Ger plain and pool,
Bloweth the breeze of coming daa
Thou, too, shalt rise
TO sunny skies,
And open WIDE thy baby eyes.

But the fight was too hot to last

 Father John NJ. Lucey has rendered his resignation as County Commis- sioner to the County Judge, and the same has been accepted. To Father Lucey, perhaps, more than to any other one man belongs the credit of placing our County Exposition on it's present flattering standing. He has worked long, hard and faithfully to Adevelop the resources of Jefferson county and to make these resources known to the outside world, and it is with great regret that our people will learn that he has deemed it best to resign position that he filled with much credit to himself and ben eft to the county and her material interests. His successor will be named in a few days.

Then Ringing Bros.' Great Shows Will Be
 Seen in All Their Glory.

The pleasurable anticipation aroused by the contemplated visit of the Ringling Bros Worlds Greatest Shows to this city is about to be re- alized, for the much-looked-for ad- vent of this famous aggregation in Pine Bluff occurs next Friday, Oc- tcber II. No exhibition that has ever visited this vicinity has ever been so comprehensive in it's method ofad- vertising or has ever succeeded in at tracing so much attention by it's pictorial wall announcements. The finest Autograph printing ever seen in this city has been scattered with Il profuse liberality such as no circus management, not backed by stupen- dous capital and reinforced by a great amusement enterprise, could afford to display. 1t is gratifying to learn through the press of other cities, that these marvellous speci- mems of printers art do not be gin to tell the story of the wonders of this remarkable show, which com pines among it's features such world famous people as the Da Comas, the famous aerialists;, the Eddy family, celebrated English acrobats, the Landauer troupe of nine flexible models; Mike Rooney, Orrin Hollis, and nearly a dozen other high-class somersault riders; Mile Elena, Julia Lowande and Marian Leslie, the greatest trio of female riders in the world; the Ty-Bells, in their marvel ous breakaway ladder act; Maynard X La Mothe, aerial bar performers. Akimoto's troupe of royal Japanese equilibrists; Mons. Natalie and his comical pig circus. and many other arenic novelties.
 The performance is given in three rings and upon two elevated stages, and the hippodrome races which are E.ade vastly exciting by the proffer of cash prizes to all winners, are run in the largest track ever constructed under canvas. The procession which fnaugurates circus day will start promptly at 10 o'clock and pass over the principal down town streets. It is the largest, finest and most resplendent ever given by a circus. There are ten kinds of music, including golden steam calliope and a great chime of silver bells. 1t will be worth coming many miles to see.
