quick and graceful movements of the Belknap Rifles in their white and immaculate uniforms, the handsome little ponies richly caparisoned and mounted with gay riders-alI these arrayed ill solemn procession march ing to the sweet strains of martial music made an imposing spectacle which thrilled and delighted at least ten thousand spectators, After the march was over all gathered around Alamo Plaza and then the pelting with pink roses and all the rest of the flowery kingdom begun, and the Battle of Flowers was on. It was a novel and interesting enter tainment the like of which had never been witnessed by the visitors before, the memory of which will be 1t joy forever.
 But we must on to Mexico! On Thursday night June 6, about TOO of the T. P. As. and their guests boarded their special sleepers for an excursion to Old Mexico over the Mexican Central railroad via Eagle Pass. The excursion party was divided into two sections. The Ar kansas contingent arranged q special sleeper for themselves, among whom were I. M. Oracle and mother and Miss Jennie Russell; Geo. F. Burchard wife and daughter, Miss Orie; N. Nj.

seeing several bulls brutally slaugh- tered, the exeursienists spent the re- mainder of the day taking in the sights of the city, which offers scenes of intending novelty and interest to an American.
 Monday morning the eXcursionists separated into groups and visited such points aR might prove most in teresting 10 them.
 It would be impossible within the limits of this article to give anything like ]; comprehensive description Of the points visited and sights wit messed; to dc so would require a vol ume, hence our readers must be con tent with the mere mention of the chief points seen, among which are to be mentioned Chapultepec tPresi- dent Diaz's magnificent summer eastle), the Presidents Palace, the National Museum and Art Gallery, Guadalupe and the Holy Shrine and Holy Well, the grave and monument of President Jaurez, the floating gardens, the industrial school and other points of intending interest.
 On Wednesday, afternoon the visi- tors were given a public reception at the National Palace by President Diaz which was very cordial and un- ceremonious. The President wei comed the visitors in the most cor dial terms, and was happily re- sponded to by President John A. Lee, of the T. P. As.
 At o'clock Wednesday evening the excursionists left the City of Mexico for q side trip to Guadalaiara, with population of 100, 000 and the cap ital of the State of Jalisco. It is sec ond only in importance to the City of Mexico, and is n beautiful and clean city, well laid out, with hand some buildings, parks and gardens. The cathedral at this place was one of the most magnificent buildings seen while in Mexico and was well worth the trip alone. The Govern or's palace, the theater, The peniten- tiary and the pottery works were the other points visited. At night the visitors were given a serenade in one of the public plazas. after which the excursionists departed for Guam aiuate.
 Guonajuato is eighteen miles from the main road and is reached by q branch line from Silao. The city is picturesouely located in the noun tains and has a population of about 60, 900. Ii is quaint and interesting town and one of the oldest in Mexico It is the birthplace of Mexican inde- pendence and silver mining town of importance. It has several silver mines which are said to have been in constant operation for 300 years, a visit to which revealed the fact that they arc being operated in the same manner they were centuries ago. No modern machinery has been put in; only primitive methods are applied. Here the T. r. A's. were royalty en- tertained and handsomely treated. They were driven over the city and at noon favored with fine lunch. In the afternoon the catacombs were visited which proved to be an unusual and extraordinary sight, and then all repaired to the train which de parted at 5:30. Upon the return of

The scenery just before reaching this place is pie turesqne and magnificent. This point is the highest on the road and all the while we had been steadily climb ing The train follows the worm ular track around short curves and oyer lofty places until the top of the mountain is reached. mthe distance are fiocks and herds of sheep and goats browsing on the mountain side attended by their faithful herdsmen, while over wonder are the silver mines, many of which have been in constant operation since the time when the memory of man runneth not to the contrary. In the valley below are the green fields and the adobe huts teeming with their myr- iads of population, making a panorma which thrills and delights. But, behold! Wonder is Zacatecas! -wounderfulZ Zacatecas. the grandest of all. The sight-seer pauses to catch his breath and wonder if this is q reality. But presently we have wonnd around the mountain and the train stops; we are in Zacatecas. What wonderful and curious city with it's curious population and still more curious buildings. Who can one view, it from the depot? The writer cannot, neither will he attemp it. Suffice it to say as we gazed on this view we were reminded of the wonderful panorama in Chicago of Jeruselam at the time of the Crucitic- tion. Indeed, it has been frequently remarked that Zacatecas is much like the ancient and holy city of pales- tine, and with this we must leave the imagination to do the rest
 But with only short stop the train speeds on to the City of Mexico, and time and space will not permit mention of the way places.
 The great City of Mexico was reached Sunday morning. A brass band meets the excnrsionists at the depot. Soon the crowd has separ- ated into parties and all make q break for the city. The cathedral, whose sable walls have stood for centuries and which were built in part by the Aztec Indians, and upon which time and money have been lavishly spent for it's adornment and at whose altars Kings and Emper- OTIS have worshipped, was the first point visited. Then to the great Alameda plaza where the Mexican band diseourses the sweetest music and the population of the great city is on dress parade, goes the madden ing throng, which completes the pro- gram for the morning.
 In the afternoon the Americans witnessed celebrated Mexican bull fight-a horrible and brutal exhibit tion-but no visit to Mexico would be complete without seeing it. After

 DUMAS, Ark. June q, 1895. Andy Johnson was hung at this place today at 1:48 D. m. He was pronounced dead at 1:57. He was brave to the last. and in his farewell ] address upon the scaffold he admon-
 ished all to profit by his end. Sheriff
 Henry sprung the trap. No demon etratiOn.
 A HISTORY OF THE CRIME. Thecrime for which Andy Johnson suffered the death penalty at the
 hands of the law was for the assas- sination of Howard Johnson.
 A feud of several months standing had existed between the two men on account of an undue intimacy which Andy claims has exhlsited be- tween Howard Johnson and his (Andy's) wife. This feud resulted in
 Andy Johnson shooting Howard
 Johnson on three different occasions
 before the final assassination.
 After shooting Johnson the third time Andy fled to Texas to escape the officers of the law. In time Howard Johnson recovered and at once resumed his illicit relations with Andy's wife. Andy was tn-
 formed of this fact by friends and he returned from Texas, slipped into tho city under cover of darkness, and on the night of the 26th of April. 1894, he went to the home of Howard John son, called him to the door and shot him down. The murderer then fled to Texas where he was captured sev- eral months later, going under an assumed name. He was brought to Pine Bluff and indicted for murder in the first degree. His attorney, when his case was called for trial, took a change of venue to the Desha Circuit Court. There he was convicted and sentenced to death on the 26th day of April, 1895, just one year to day after the assassination. Peti- tions, numeronsly signed by citizens of this county were sent to Governor Clarke. asking him to commute Andy's sentence to life Imprisonment in the penitentiary. Gov. Clarke respited him for forty days. The respite expired and the Governor had not signed the death warrant or set the time for the execution. About l two weeks ago the GOvernar issued a proclamation naming Friday. June q, as the day on which the sentence of the court should be carried out. The history of Andy Johnson is a somewhat remarkable one. He was quarrelsome, loud-mouthed and un- ednca ted; yet notwithstanding these facts, for years during what Is known
 as the reconstruction period i'll Ark
 ansas, he was a leader of his race in
 this county, and for several terms
 was elected to the office of bonded
 constable of Vaugine township.
 While in this office he committed
 numerous crimes which, had 1t not
 been for his political pull" would
 have sent him to the penitentiary.

THE great mass of humanity have no object in life To them the world is decaying substance, and they work and twist out an existence like the worms of the dust. There is no music in the song of the birds; no poetry in the silent slumbers of soli- tude, nt essence in the zephyrs of our Southern air and their life is a chaotic existence of selhshness, malice and bitterness. Their world is no larger than their capacities, and their appetites are gross and i'm pure, even unto the death of mind, soul and body-Brinkley Globe.
