A GOOD STORY.
A Correspondent Tells How Colony of Beaver Built a Dam on Which Men Worked
 and Failed.

Editor Of the Graphic:
 The Daily GRAPHIC of a late date had "A Good Beaver Story which brings to my memory an equally good beaver story, which l will re- late.
 Lying between the Scull plantation (now the Culpepper place. and Horse Shoe Lake, on the north side of the Arkansas River, is a large extent Of territory, which in lS44, was a wild erness with here and there a venture some pioneer, who broke the brush on the margin of the two large cy- press brakes, which were separated by table of fine land which was above the great overflow of 1S44, and which were connected by 8 bayou known in 1S47 as Bocage Bayou, carrying water from three to six feet deep from the upper and larg- est to the lower cypress. After the subsistence of the great inundation of 1S44 it was learned that large number of cattle was found on this

Mr. A. B. ("Toney') Grace is a sil- verite Of the silverites: in fact. Il stalwart of the stalwarts. For some time Mr. Grace has carried a gold-headed cane, but gold is not to his way of thinking; so on yesterday he took his cane to a jeweler. mad the gold head taken off and silver head put on. In fact, our good friend informs us that since the financial agitation came on, he don t care very much now about going to heaven because the streets are said to be paved with gold.

The GRAPHIC yesterday made men, tion of the election of Miss Tompie Poland, of Nashville, Ark, as spon- sor for Arkansas at the annual re- union of the United Confederate Vet erans at Richmond, Va. June 30. Miss Poland has selected Miss Lizzie Grace, of this city, as one of her maids -of-honor, a compliment well and worthily bestowed. Miss Grace is very intelligent and accomplished young lady and will grace that august occasion. Miss Poland could not have made bett selection.

table of land. The writer, with Mir. Abraham Dardenne, Sr., and Mir. Ambrose Hudgens, searching for more cattle known to be somewhere in the overflow, made the circuit of the cypress, thickly studded with as fine cypress timber as the world af- forded, and finding it had one outlet only, the bayou named above. In 1S47 we made d thorough examina- ton with levels, measurements, etc., and proceeded to build a saw mill to go by water power on the connect ing bay Ou. In October, 1S47, we pitched our camp on the bayou bank and began work upon temporary dam to hold the water, while the mill was forebay was being excavat- ed, piled and timbeTed. Thefall rain set in early in November, rendering it difficult to place our temporary dam. After weeks of exhaustive labor with eight stalwart men, we agreed on the last Saturday in November to stop work until the summer if we failed to check the water flowing under the dam, by night. A heavy fall of rain at 4 o'clock D. m, washed out all we had placed in the forenoon. We returned to camp at night much discouraged, nv nootinO fn ohax.dnn tho onfarnr;oa for the season. On Sunday (the fol- lowing morning) MT. Hudgens was out quite early and walked over to the dam to view the situa- ton. He came hurriedly back and announced that not drop of water was flowing under the dam; that the dam was as tight as Il bucket, with the head beginning to discharge over the cap timber. You may be sure, we hurried out and over to the dam and found Mir. Hudgens' statement verified-no water boiling up from | under the dam, even under the pres sure of an eight-foot head. An inves- tigation was at once inaugurated to l find how this excellent work had been executed. It was soon ascer- tained that during the night the op- posite bank of the bayon had been denuded of the switch cane which grew to the waters edge, and that a number of tupelo gum saplings had been cut down, and into differ ent lengths, as shown by the chips; all small limbs and twigs had been broken away; clay and leaves had been made into q plaster and a we'll used slide into the water told the tale. A colony of beaver had their village on tongue of scrub cypress 1 juting into the water in the upper part of the cypress swamp. Seeing 1 they could increase the volume of water by stopping the leak in our dam, they accomplished in one night that which we had worked at five weeks and failed. The saw mill was built and successfully operated for nine years. Our beaver were held sacred, and all trespassing for beay- CT in our swamps was forbidden.

Mir. Andrew Clemmons, who lives near Grady, has ? acres of land covered with as fine clover as was ever seen in the South. This infor- nation we glean from gentleman who visited Mir. Clemmons' place q few days ago. The clover is two feet high and stands on both buck shot and sandy lands. We mention this fact because there are many who say that clover cannot be successful ly grown in this country.

lection. It would probably be more so if people only realized just what bad breath means Bad breath is one of the symptoms of constipation. Some of the other symp toms are sour stomach, loss of appetite. sick and bilious headache, dizziness heart burn and distress after eating. These things mean indigestion. They lead to dyspepsia and worse things. They all start with con stipation, and constipation is inexeusable because 1t can be cured - cured easily, quickly and permanently, by the use of Dr. Pieree's Pleasant Pellets. They are per feet remedy for this most common of all troubles. They give to nature just the little help that she needs. They are very mild in their action, and act without any violence whatever. In this, they are different from many preparations offered for a similar pur pose Sometimes the remedy Is worse than the disease, pr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are mild, but they are infallibly efficient They do the work which they are intended to do, without deranging the system i'll any way They not only give immediate relief but the benefit derived from them is per manent You can stop taking them by and by and there is no danger that you will become a slave to their use. The drug gist who tries to sell you something else "just as good, either does not know what he is talking about, or he makes more money on the other thing, If you care more for his prosperity than you do for your own health, take the other thing. If you value your health, insist on having Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. A free sample, of from 4 to 7 doses, will be sent to any address.
 A copy of Dr. Pierce's celebrated Ioo8 page book, The Common Sense Medical Adviser profusely illustrated, will be sent fyee on receipt of twenty one l2Il cents i'll one cent stamps to cover cost of mailing only.

SOCIALISTS QUIET TODAY.
Say They Were Sent by Hungry Nil
lions and Should Do Something.

London, July 30-After wasting
three days in wrangling over questions
arising from the inspection of the Gre
dentials of the delegates and their right
to be admitted, the fourth session of
the International Socialist Labor and
Trade Union congress, was opened to-
day in St. Martins town hall.
The delegates lost no time in COM
planning bitterly Of the sterility of the
proceedings. They claimed they had
been sent by hungry millions to at
tend to business and not to air their
own dissersions and to play into the
hands of their enmies. These com
plants seemed to have considerable
weight with the assembly, for the ses-
sion was a comparatively quiet one.
The report of the agrarian committee
favoring the specialization of land was
adopted.
Matthew Mcclure, the leading dele
gate of the socialist party in the Uni
ted States, will present today a long
report of the history of the labor move
Tnent in the United States in which are
copiOus quotations from the resolutions
adopted by the socialist convention Ju-
~ 4. and also declaration of the prin-
ciples of the socialist trade and la Dor
alliance.
