ADJUSTMENTS.
The Old Lime Kiln,

Katie Putnam, the famous act ress, supported by a strong com pany, will appear at the Pine Bluff Opera-house Monday night in that charming play, entitled "The Old Lime Kiln
 The story of the play springs from a situation creating intense sympathy and interest, the struggles of a good man, accused unjustly of henious crime, to re-establish his innocence in the sight of the world. Eighteen years before the play begins Robert Mervhyn, unable to win his fathers consent to mar riage with the woman he loved, fled with her. On that very night his farther's safe IS robbed and all the circumstances point to Roberts guilt. His father writes to him never to dare to show his face in his old home again or he will punish him as he would stranger. One misfortune after another pursues him, until at the opening of the play, he had become a prey to the opium habit and lives with his daughter, Nita, in ragged tent in the Yellowstone Park, where he has sunk to the humble position of a guide. How his father, with other old friends, visits the Park and fails to recognize him in the wreck he has become; how his true-hearted little daughter, Nita, inspires him with new hope and fixed determi- nation to return to his old home, and discover the man for whose crime he has suffered.

4 VERDICT OF GUILTY.
Jim Clayton Convicted in the Circuit Court.-His Punishment Will
 Be Severe.

The readers of the GRAPHIC will remember that some months ago Jim Clayton and Nose Arrant, two
 Dude Coons, enticed two negro girls from their homes for evil pur- 1 poses. The girls were under the age of fifteen.
 Arrant and Clayton were arrested on the charge of abducting the girls from their homes for immoral l purposes. They were tried by 1 jury in the Justice Court of 0. W. Alexander, Esq. were convicted, and their punishment vas assessed at a fine of s400 and one years i'm 9risonmeEt each, the lowest penalty allowed by laa for such an offense.
 Their cases were appealed to the Jefferson Circuit Court, and Fri day the case of Jim Clayton came up for 9 hearing, and resulted again in a conviction. This time the jury assessed his punishment at a fine of $500 and one years imprison- mentan increase in fine of S400, with costs.
 At the rate which eonviets on the farm are allowed to work out their fine at it will be fully ten years before Clayton is again a free negro.
 The verdict, from expressions heard, has given the greatest satis- faction to the colored people.
 The case of Nose Arrant, who was an accomplice of Clayton, has not yet been set for trial, but it will come up at this term of court, and he, probably, will also be given a similar punishment.

TO REFORM THE LORDS

An effort is being made in Great Britain, and it is not antagonized by Lord Salisbury, to abolish the hereditary Lordship and elect the English members of the upper branch of Parliament, as is now done in Scotland and Ireland. In those countries the peers are elected by people of their class and Tn the latter country, hold office throughout life. Common people, however, have no voice in the cleo tion, and, of course, will not su 9port 9 measure that does not give them as much power as their aristocratic neighbor. Nothing but total aboli- tion of the peerage or election by popular vote will satisfy them, and as the peerage or aristocracy will never assent to this, reform in the near future is not probable.
 It is very doubtful whether the intended reform, if procured, would be of any material benefit to the people. A person selected by the classes is more likely to carry out their idea and vote for their interest than is the one who has inherited his office. A it is, there are many Lords who are liberals and look to the interests of the people, and some of England's greatest states men and the peoples greatest bene- factors arc men who inherited titles and an office.
 Today there are over five-hundred members of the House of Lords, all of whom hold office throughout life, except peers from Scotland. They are divided into Lords Spiritual and Lords Temporal, the former being Archbishops and Bishops who are Lords of Parliament but not peers of the realm. Lords Temporal are peers created by the crown, and, as has been said before, the office is hereditary except to members from Scotland and Ireland. They are a part of the nobility of England and are divided according to rank, into Dukes, Marquis, Earls, Wis counts and Barons. When assem- bled in Parliament peers form the highest court of jurisdiction in the realm and are co-equal branch of the Legislature, without whose con- sent no law can be made.
 To make the office elective by popular vote would completely resolutionize affairs in Great Brit ain. It would destroy nobilit, and aristocracy and, as is the case in this country, place everyone on equal footing. Titles would not be 8 consideration, and every per son would stand on his own merits only, It is also probable that Republican form Of government would displace the King or Queen.
