Rats Teeth.

The teeth of rats are kept sharp by a
very peculiar provision of nature. The
outer edge Of the incisors is covered with
layer Of enamel as hard as flint, while
the under side is much softer. The layers
of enamel on the under side, therefore,
wear away much faster than those on
the upper surface, and keen cutting
edge is always presented.

 Given Fine Hats.

It does not seem rightthat a. person, alternating ahard fishtfor the typewriter or bicycle and com ing out second probably by only a few votes, should getnothing at all, and the Kaufman Bazaar Co.,, realiz- ing this, thoughtfully ofiers beautiful prizes to such persons, pro- yided. of course, they are ladies. The hats may be selected from thelr haha- some display and without regard to price, whether t be $a or $2O. Know ing. as all Pine Bluff ladies do, the beautiful and costly hats this firm always carries in stock we can ex- beet to see a lively contest for second place.

VIOLATED PLEDGES.
The City Should Take Steps to Force the Valley Railroad 10 Grade
 Fourth Avenue

1t begins to appear as if the off cials of tie Valley road, after all the promises made to the city, never in- tend to grade Fourth avenue. Some time ago an agreement was made by the city and the aforesaid road that if the avenue was graded at an early date that the suits brought by the city against the road to compel it to move it's depot from the city's properry, would be aban- doned.
 Pledges were made by the railroad officials that the work of grading the avenue would be begun just as soon as the engineers of the railroad and the city had established agrade This grade has now been established for several months, but instead of begin ming the work of grading theavenue, the officials now have force of men putting down ties, rails, etc, and sur facing up the road bed, and appar- ently have no thought of complying with the agreement made.
 The city has now slept on it's rights long enough and should tol- crate no further delay. The railroad should be, by some means, forced to comply with the pledges made to the city.
 The grade of Fourth avenue is nearly two feet too high, and if it is not lowered before the work of pay ing Main, Pine and Chestnut streets is begun, it will cause a great deal of trouble.
 Members of the City Council, give this matter your attention at your next meeting. You have been en- tirely too patient and forbearing with this corporation, and the people of Pine Bluff are now demanding that the work of grading this inn portant thoroughfare be done at once.

51 PER CENT. PREMIUM.
Is What 100 Shares of the Merchants S
 Planters Bank Sold for Today.


 Sheriff Triplett sold today at noon under an execution, 100 shares of the capital stock of the Merchants X Planters Bank of this city. Several prominent citizens were present and bid on the stock, but the coveted plum was secured by Mir. NJ. A. Aus tin at the sum of 3,755, being about 5l per cent. premium on the face value of the stock, which is $2,500. This. we believe, is the first of the stock of this old institution ever offered for sale at public outcry, and the price received tor it bespeaks well for the standing of the bank. It has weathered the storms of many a panic and throughout it's career has ever maintained the confidence of the people and it's patrons.
 Mr. V. D. Wilkins. it's President, who should be considered the father of the institution, still stands at his helm. watching carefully it's interests in connection with Mir. f. H. Head, it's cashier, and assisted by a corps of able assistants. It's prosperous career is in but in it's teginning.

Special to THE GRAPHIC.
 LITTLE RoeK, Ark Aug 26.-About II o'clock this morning while May #Haycock, a white woman, was walking along the public road one half.a mile west of this city she was assaulted by two negro wretches. Alone and without assistance she was unable to defend herself against the two negroe brutes, and they dragged her from the public highway into some bushes near by where they succeeded in outraging her. She was horribly bruised, and would have been killed had it not been for her pleadings for meIey.s After accom- plishing their heinous purpose, the negroes left, and Mrs. Hayeoek came to this city and reported to the Sheriff what had happened.
 A posse was at once collected and started in pursuit of the wretches, and, should they be captured, it is more than likely that Little Rock will witness a double lynehing Mrs. Hayeoek described one of henegroes as being about 2l years old, without moustache, and wearing q white shirt and black pants.
 TWO OTHER SIMILAR CRIMES.
 It is also reported that two simi- lar crimes have been committed in the country around here, but no par ticulars have yet been received. In one case 8 13-year-old girl was out ragged by q negro man. No names can be learned. Excitement in this city and the surrounding country is intense, and all the brutes, if cap tured will more than likely be swung to the nearest tree or telegraph pole. However, an earnest effort will be made by the officers to prevent lynch ing, and the outcome is very uncer- tain.

Itnever is neglected, never goes un- needed, never speaks to inattentive or unwilling ears. It never bores. It never tires. It is always a well come visitor and meets cordial re- ception. It speaks when the day is done, when ears vanish, when the mind is at rest and peace is the most respective mood.

KNIGHTS TEMPLARS.
They Literally Have Possession of the City
 of Boston-A Grand Parade To- morrow.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. 26.-Boston has capitulated to the Knights Templars who, for the past twenty four hours, have literally poured into the city, banners flying and bands playing, from every state and terri to,y in the Union. It is estimated that before dawn tomorrow the num- Der of visiting Knights will reach 60, 900, about one-half of whom are accompanied by their families. Despite this vast array the city is experiencing no difficulty in provid ing proper accommodations for her guests; the hotels are somewhat crowded, but with the latch-strings hanging outside the doors of hun dreds of private houses in the city and suburbs, every arrival is assured of a room and three meals each day. Most Eminent Sir Hugh McCurdy, grand master, and his brother officers of the grand encampment, held forth in an informal reception this morning in the lavishly-dec- orated headquarters of the grand encampment at the Hotel Brunswick. This afternoon hun dreds of parties under the guidance of Boston Knights are junketing about the sity or enjoying 0excur- sions on the harbor. Tomorrow will be held the grand parade which is the chief feature of the conclave.
