Antidote For Fleas

The Following recipe from tn writings of Miss Hannah Moore
 may be found useful to our readers
 In n climate where the attacks fl
 fieas are constant source of an noyance, any method which vii alleviate them income desideratum
 It is, therefore. with pleasure I make known the following recipe, which am assured has been tried with eff. caey. Boil a quart of tar until fl becomes quite thin. Remove the clothing, and before the tar becomes perfectly cool, with a broad aat brush, apply Il thin, smooth coatino. to the entire surface of the body and limbs. While the tar remains soft a flea becomes entaneIed in it's tena- eions 1oids, and is rendered perfectly harmless; bnt it will soon form . hard, smooth coating, entirely lmhervions to his bite. Should tbe coating crack at the knee or elbow joints, it is merely necessary to re- touch 1t slightly at those places The whole coat should be remoyea every three or four weeks Tbis remedy is sure and having the aa- vantage of simplicity and econon,v be generally know.

IN tho Inst issue of the Press Eagle A Catholic Reader, , in a commu- nieation to that paper complains because the GRAPHIC, in discussing the sudden changes Of opinions which are 50 often witnessed these days, used this language There never would have been a Reforma- tion had if not been for the stead fastness Of the fathers in their faith, and we would yet be groping in the darkness and superstition of medieval Catholicism had it not been that there were martyrs ready to be burned at the stake
 Catholic Reader wants to know why the religion of the Catholics was dragged into the matter, and suggests Chat eff medieval dark ness and superstition were employed as terms to express the editorial idea, the phrase might be let pass, though some of the most eminent scholars of the nineteenth century are reluctant to admit that the mid dle ages were exceptionally dark or superstitious
 So far as a literal expression is concerned to convey a definite idea, the suggestion of "A Catholic Reader is, perhaps, an improve ment on the phraseology used by the GRAPHlc. But the Catholic Reader aforesaid is entirely too sen sitive, and we would commend to him the homely maxim, "don't kicl, until you are spurred. The GRAPHIC simply referred to an his torieal fact, and recited a fact in history to show that in days gone by men were not as quick to change their opinions political or religious as at present, but, fl need Dc they would sacrifice their lives fol the sake of their convictions. w would say to "A Catholic Reader that it is impossible in the haste O making a daily newspaper to closely anaIyze every word and sentence, ol to anticipate the construction tha' will be given it by some fellow whC is always on the lookout for some thing to kick up 8 muss about.

Speaking of the Spooner Company, which will on Monday next, begin a weeks engagement at the Opera house,playinga at popnlarprices, l5, 25 and 8 cents, the eonscrvatiyeSh Shrege- port News says:
 This company terminated their en- gagcmeut in this city last night with the presentation of the Egyptian Princess. q well arranged dramatic play, taken from Victor Hugo's story of the "Deformed of Notre Dame" The house was one of the best that has met the deserving efforts of this really excellent troupe, which has an extensive and well selected repertoire, good and ap. propriate costumes and acecssories and stage all their plays well.
 They have pleased their audiences throughout the week, received Che applause and responded to the encores and dismissed them well Satlsiled with the performances.
 Miss Allie Spooner, the bright particular star" of the troupe. is a charming young soubrette, and gives promise of achieving dramatic distinction She is also one of the most graceful and accomplished danseuses that has graced this stage, and is very sweet and modest and fair withal.
 The troupe is far above the aver age and Hheuld not be estimated on the very modist prices charged They have good artists and special ties and are considerations in their work and their desire t0 please.
 The troupe leaves for Marshall this morning, where we trust they will meet with a kind reception and good houses.

C4Pn4CK NOT 4 B0LrER.

Little Rock Press.
 The speech of Hon. D. w. Car mack at Pine Bluff Monday night doubtless makes him persona non grata to Col. Charley Collins, Col. Danny Jones. and the other colonels of the Little Rock free silver club, and his invitation to address the club will probably be recalled. MT. Garmaek declares that whether the Chicago convention shall nominate sound money man or Q free silver man, he will remain with the party. He doesn't threaten to elevate the varied wardrobe of his doll and fol- low the example of the plowman who homeward wended his weary way; he doesn't declare that he will burst in the head of the rain barrel if he is not allowed to holler down it, nor to drive nails in that favorite coasting place, the cellar door, in the event that he is not permitted to monopolize that particular "shoot the chute" arrangement to the ex- clusion of his little playmates, The Democratic back yard is too good a playground for Carmack to ever climb the fence and drop over into the Populist poultry yard.
 And while we are on this subject, we might do worse than to inquire of Major Charles Gordon Newman, who, per Sc, had something to do with the speaking, what he thinks of it2 Col Chas. Gordon Newman, who ought to know better and who certainly should do better, has re- gently and most unaccountably de- elared himself and h:s paper, the Pine Bluff Commercial, to be in favor of Col. Dan and his bolt. We would like to ask Col Chas. Gordon Newman what he thinks of Car mack's gospel as compared with the article spouted by Col. Dan? We would ask him whether he would not prefer to strike hands with Carmack, remain with the Democratic party and work for the success of free sil- yer as a Democrat, than to quit the party and blow his rams horn from without the walls? Andif he would not, why did he move that vote of thanks be extended to Mir. Carmack2 Was il the inspiration of reawak ening into Democratic faith that caused him to make the motion, or was it but an empty form-an unfelt profession of convietion2 We pre- fer to believe that Col. Charles Cor don was converted, and that his motion to thanl, Mr. Carmaek was a sort of ballelujah shout and sin eere confession from the mourner's bench,

TnE Memphis SeiDitaf gives the following as a fair summary of the Democratic silverite position ahd plan of campaign.
 Resolved, first, That silver was surreptitiously demoneti2ed in 1873.
 Resolved, second, That times are hard and everybody has to hustle.
 Resolved, third, That if silver were coined freely and without limit at the ratio of 16 to l, times would be good.
 Resolved, fourth, That all Demo erats who do not subscribe to the foregoing are villains and traitors to the State; or, at least, that we should denounee them as such.
 This is about all the argument there is in the ease, and to some it is quite convincing. Any free silver shouter, by yelling tgold-bugn at some object, imaginary or real, can easily create applause these days.

COTTON REPORT.

 Cotton Exchanges.
PINE BLUFF. Ark. April 21, 1896.

PINE BLUFF. Ark. April T, 1896.
 Gentlemen:-Theweather through out the State, taken as a whole, is favorable and work of every kind is progressing well. The hard rains Of last week retarded planting to some extent in the bottoms. Planting in the river districts is probably more than half finished: the land is all pre- pared and planting will have been completed about the first of May
 These districts have increased the acreage 10 per cent. over last year. The hills. or up-lands, have hardly begun planting; this land is light and cotton does better when planted after the first of May; some say as late as the 10th. The cool nights will then be over and good stands assured.
 The acreage, judging from the preparations in these districts, will not be increased, or if any at all, two OF three per cent. will cover it.
 We have looked into this matter carefully; our information comes direct from the planter, and we are led 10 believe the acreage will not be as great as in 1891, the tea million crop year. Very little corn was raised in this State that year and the planters have learned q valuable lesson from the one crop plan; they are now euItiyating more of tbe cereals than ever known before.
 The Oklahoma boom and African craze have thinned out our Negro population, and in some places iH the river districts labor is scarce This means less cotton, for Into Whitt man can fill Negro's place iH ht river country. \ negro rarely com plains of malaria. and he loves thu hot aHH Arkansas k rapidly chang ing, from an agricultural standpoint more economy is praetieed and th' best of every thing is grown. We dt not believe she will ever cultivate cotton again to the detrimeat ol thC necessarips of life Yours respect fully, $. C. ALEXANDER x to.

Neither gentleman will make a statement, hence the cause of the trouble is unknown, but it is said that Mr. Money gave Mr Hall the lie and the latter hit Mr Money hard and gashed his head. Such encounters, between men as prominent in public affairs as Representative Hall and Senator-elect Money are extremely unfortunate.
