Queer Beliefs About the Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only on St. Johns night and thus to possess those singular properties for which it had become almost sacred The gather ing of the seed was believed to be at tended with considerable danger Povet, in his 'Pandemonium, " published in 1884, says Much discourse hath been abont gathering of fern seed (which is looked upon as magical herbl on the night of midsummer eve, and I re- member was told of one who went to gather it, and the spirits whisked by his ears like bullets and sometimes struck his hat and other parts of his body. In fine, though he apprehended he had got ten quantity of it and secured it in pa pers and box beside, when he got home he found all empty. But most probable this appointing of time and hours is oi the devils own institution, as well as the fact that having once ensnared people tC an obedience to his rules he may with more facility obige them to stricter vassalage.

Met the Emergency.

The following incident happened at tho Criterion theater in London the oth- CT evening. At the end of one of the scenes Mn. Wyndham tells fellow actor to go down stairs and he will follow him in three minutes. Then, as he takes out his watch, the curtain should de scend. On this occasion, however, fl failed to do so, and the Squire of Danes rechned on the sofa, patiently waiting. An almost painful pause occurred, The curtain jerked, but would not fulfill its mission, and Mir Wyndham. realizing the situation, again pulled out his watch, and said, Ah, two minutes have passed. . There was another pause. after which he arose and announced that the time was up and he must go. D As he left the stage the curtain at last descended, and Mir Wyndham s ready wit was much applauded. - London GlObe.

because of the natural ties that bind Arkansas and Missouri, but, then, Chicago has been a. mascot for the Democratic party in the past and it may prove so again. But it is 8 matter of congratdlation that the convention did not go to New York. The selection of New York City we believe, would have been fatal to Democratic prospects in the next campaign. Were the convention to be held in New York, and should the platform declare for sound money, !" as we believe it will and as is fore casted by the present aspect of political affairs, it would have be- come known throughout the length and breadth of the land as the 'sWall street platform, which would have destroyed all of our prospects for success. No party before the Amer ican people could be successful whose platform is made within the shadows and under the sinister and occult in- fuences of Wall street. The peo- pie would be prone to believe, how ever remote it might be from the truth, that the platform was dom- mated by the spectators and syn dicates and bulls and bears of much advertised Wall street.
 The utterances of the Democratic party on the money question, there fore, will receive profounder re- spect throughout the country be cause of the utter impossibility of the operators on "Wall street to influence or dominate the policy and platform of that convention Chi cago is the home of Harvey and the headquarters of the silver bullion aires. If the silver men are defeated, therefore, in the coming Chicago Democratic Convention they will have been defeated in their strong hold, which will argue all the greater for the success of Democracy on 8 sound money platform in the on- coming campaign.

HER BARN sToRMINe TOUR.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Accounts an
 Incident of Her Early Stage Career.
 Mary Anderson de Navarro looks back with evident enjoyment upon what she calls the transforming period of her stage career, which, however, in her case was short, beneficial and pecunia- rily profitable. Of her experiences in Owensboro, a small Kentucky town, where she and her little band of actors played for week, Mrs. dc Navarro writes in The Ladies Home Journal:
 "I was tall, slender Juliet and my Romeo proved to be a plump. pleasant little woman, probably the mother of several would be Romeos and Juliets. The moon she (Romeo1 swore by we found to be the headlight of railway engine hired for the occasion. This was held by a small negro boy perched upon a ladder, who was so amused by the play that he laughed until he shook over the most tragic scenes. His mirth, as may be imagined, was not conducive to the moon s steadiness. At one time she was shining in an upper box, at another on the head of a bald musician, often binding the unfortunates in the front stalls here, there, everywhere save on the face of her Verona s lovely flower she had been especially hired to illumi- nate The conductor of the orchestra was carpenter by trade, and sawed away as Justify during the day at the boards he was converting into profile statues of 'Evadne's' noble ancestors as he sawed upon his violin at night.

ECCLESIASTICAL ROME.
An Always Present Power That Gives the
 City It's Importanee.

GtOy Ahn hpONehhCoe
 "Ecclesiastic" Rome is the strong hold of most tremendous fact from whatever point of view Christianity may be considered If one could in im- agination detach the head of the Catho- lie church from the church, one would be obliged to admit that no single living man possesses the farreaching and last ing power which in each succeeding pa- pal reign belongs to the pope. Behind the pope stands the fact which confers, maintains and extends that power from century to century--a power which is one of the hugest elements of the worlds moral activity, both in its own direct action and in the counteraction and antagonism which it calls forth continually.
 It is the all peryading presence of this greatest fact, literally, ill Christendom which has carried on Rome importance from the days of the Caesars across the chasm of the dark ages to the days of modern popes. and it is this really enor- nous importance which continually throws forward into cruel relief the puerilities and inanities of the daily outward world It is the consciousness of that importance which makes old Ro- man society what it is, with its virtues, it's vices, it's prejudioes and its strange, old fashioned, close listed kindliness, which makes the contrast between the saturnalia of Shrove Tuesday night and the cross signed with ashes upon the forehead of Ash Wednesday morning, between the careless laughter of the Ro- man beauty i'll carnival and the tragic earnestness of the same lovely face when the great lady kneels in Lent before the confessional to receive upon her bent head the light touch of the penitentiary s wand, taking her turn perhaps with a score of women of the people It is the knowledge of an always present power, active throughout the whole world, which throws deep, straight shadows, as it were through the Roman character, just as in certain ancient families there is q secret that makes grave the lives of those who know it-Marion Crawford in Century.

TIE GRAPHIC wants 1t distinctly

THE GRAPHIC wants it distinctly understood, in this county and else where. that it has nothing more against Gov. Clare than it feels every citizen of Jefferson county should have in common. Gov. Clarke's attitude toward this county is notorious throughout the State, and for the life of us we cannot see how any self-respecting man in this county could support the Governor for any position. 1t will be re membered that during Gov. Clarke s service in the State Senate he en- deavored to place Jefferson county in a negro Congressional district with an overwhelming Republican majority, and would have done so but for the efforts of prominent citi- zens of this county who went to the State Capital while the bill was pending before the Legislature and procured its defeat. Whe Gov Clarke afterwards became a candi- date for Attorney General of the State the people of this county naturally felt disposed to resent the insult, and as a consequence he failed to carry a single township in the county. The Governors famous declaration, made while he was A t. torney General and during his can didacy for Governor, in the presence of citizen of Pine Bluff, at which time it he reputed to have said "damn Jefferson county" when he was informed that this county would not instruct for him, is also doubtless remembered by the peo- pie of Jefferson county. Under these circumstanc aside from the fact that Senator Jones is one of the ablest and most worthy Senators Arkansas has ever had in the upper branch of the Federal Legislature, we repeat that for the life of us we cannot see how any self-respecting citizen can support the Governor in his present contest for Senator Jones seat. The GRAPHIC will not. The GRAPHIC has too much respect for it's constituents and its love for Jefferson county is too profound and deep-seated to countenance or sup port a public man for any public office who has insulted and attempt ed to wrong it's people. For these reasons and others the GRAPHIC is opposed to Gov Clarke, and it will spare no honorable effort to prevent him from receiving a solitary vote of the four votes of Jefferson county to be cast during the session of the next Legislature for United States Senator from Arkansas.

coRBETT TO FIGHT sHARKEY.
The Men wan Get Together Within six
Months from Date.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 28.-James J.
Corbett has answered Sharkey's verbal
challenge for a fight to finish, made ut
the ringside after Wednesday nights CON
test by himself announcing his intention
TO issue challenge to all comers, Fitzsim-
mons preferred. If the latter does not ac-
cept within two weeks Corbett says he
will make arrangements for fight with
Sharkey to take place on agreed territory,
preferably in Mexico. Sharkey received a
challenge from Maher yesterday for n
contest for 5000 u side. Sharkey says,
however, that he will make no other plans
until his meeting with Corbett has been
arranged. He believes he can put Corbett
out I'm ten rounds. The only mark of pun
ishment which Sharkey bears is a blac
eye, acquired during break away.
Corbett said, speaking of the fight; 81
made mistake in graphing with Sharkey.
IL were to fight another four round go
with him l would not olinch l would
stay away and do only even fighting. 1t
was his wrestling that tired me, and in
the fourth round frankly confess that /
was quite exhausted. In throwing my
science away and fighting Sharkey at his
own game 1 weakened myself. / should
not have given him chance to weaken
me, thereby giving the impression that he
is great fighter, when he is ignorant of
the rudiments of boxing"
Corbett says he does not believe Fitz-
simmons will notice his challenge, as he
believes Fitzslmmons is afraid to fight
him, so Sharkey will be the first man to
meet him in finish fight
Corbett and E. ]. Lynch, Sharkey' g
backer met last evening and negotiated
for finish fight for $40, ,OO0and the largest
purse offered by any club. The arrange
ments will be completed today. One of
the stipulations agreed on Is that the fight
must take place within six months
