rourth Po.tponement of the Sale.

Master in Chancery Waters, of Little Rock, received telegram the other day from the New York attorney of the General Trust Co.,. ordering an other postponement of the sale of the Little Rock & Memphis railroad. The fourth Wednesday, in January. 1896, Is the date now fixed for the sale. This is the fourth postponement since the decree of foreclosure was entered in the federal court, September 8, 1894. It was stipu- lated in the decree that the plaintiffs, the Central Trust Go. of New York, could request the special master in chancery to postpone the sale from time to time without special or further notice. The face value of the mortgage bonds is s, ls6, GOO. This, with the ac- crued interest and taxes due the state of Arkansas, swells the figures to | S3, 561, 990. It is stated upon reliable authority that the continued postpone ment of the sale is strong indication that the bondholders will be compelled to buy the property.

ITO what extremes a German win

ID W0db cAUf6tueb h dcIIuhu VIII go in the desire to be thorough is shown by the ghoulish story of the Identification of Johann Sebastian Bach's remains in Leipsig. According to the city records he was buried in the south side of the Johannis Kirche In 1750 in an oak coffin, and only two persons were thus buried that year. Last year, when the old Johannis Kirche was torn down, the committee searching for Bach found an oak coffin with the remains of an elderly man. The bones were handed over to Prof. His of the Anatomical museum, who measured them, and found the man was five foot six inches tall, under the German average The skull was given to sculptor who nodded on it bust, which harmonizes with the portrait of Bach in the Thomasschule, and also re- sembles Handel.

Confinement and Hard Work

Indoors, particularly in the sitting posture, are far more prejudicial to health than ex. cessive muscular exertion In the open air. Hard sedentary workers are far too weary after office hours to take much needful exer. cise in the open air They often need a tonic. Where can they seek invigoration more certainly and thoroughly than from Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, renovant par ticularly adapted to recruit the exhausted force of nature. Use also for dyspepsia, kidney, liver and rheumatic ailments.

ITALIANS FOR ARKANsAs.

Austin Corbin, Of Now York, VIII Endeav-
 to Work Out Some Pet Ideas In Ar.
 kansas.
 Si ys New York dispatch: Austin Cortia recently chartered from Punch, Edye & Co.,, of this city, the steamship Chateaus Yquem. This vessel sailed from Genoa, November 8, for New Or leans, with 700 Italians on board. She is due in New Orleans November 26.
 At Mr. Corbin's office no information could be obtained about the importa- tion. It is known, however, that Mir. Coroin is at the head of big coloniza- tion enterprise. He bought a large track of land in Arkansas year or two ago. It was announced then that he intended to found a colony to bear his name and to be run in accordance with his ideas of agriculture. These Italians are said to be agricultursts. A member of the firm of Punch, Edye &5 Co. said that he had no knowledge of what Mir. Corbin intends to do with the 700 Italians He did not know whether any contracts had been made with them.
 It was suggested that under the con- tract labor law the firm could be com pelled, if the passengers were contract laborers, to carry them back to Italy. We were assured" replied the mem- Der of the firm interviewed, that MT. Corbin made arrangements with the government before he went into the undertaking. l feel reasonably sure that our firm will have no trouble with the federal authorities at New Orleans. We are informed that the 700 Italians are agriculturalists. ''
 WHAT ABOUT THAT RAILROAD
 Says the Little Rock Demoerat: A colony of Italians will locate in Chicot county next month and wlll devote their attention, after the first year, to fruit growing. Austin Corbin, who is the promoter of this colonization scheme, will likely utilize Italian la bor in the construction of his new railroad from Sunnyside to Hamburg. This might possibly create an unfriendly feeling toward the colonists, and we should much prefer to see the road bnIlt by native la bor

Tt has been the custom among cavalry troops to stimulate the horses with whisky" said Col. A. D. Cate, sand I have always thought that it was a good thing to do. In fact, l have done it great deal myself and with seemingly good results, but l have been reading some reports of ex- periiuents made in Germany, where the custom has been followed for a long time, and they seemed to prove that horses so stimulated are much more apt to die from over exertion than those that are not treated in any way. It is fact that have noticed myself that horses frequently become drunkards, the appetite growing until 1t becomes uncontrollable."
