No Pushing.

Apropos of an alleged ratification aft CT majority of a debt contracted during infancy by admitting that it was just debt and promising to pay if the debtor ever got so that he could without in- convenience, the court ill late North Carolina case says this recalled to the minds of some members of the court Il settlement of accounts which may with propriety be preserved as history in the judicial annals of the state. A debtor named Huggins, when solicited to close an old open account by note, agreed to do so provided he should be allowed to draft the instrument and accordingly presented the creditor the following:

FELLOW JACK.

There is no occasion for alarm over the yellow fever epidemic now raging along the Gulf coast. The cases seem to be well guarded and quarantined, and there is no danger of the fever reaching Arkansas. It will be remembered that during the scourge in Memphis in '78 land '79 that the fever never reached Pine Bluff, and the town is in a much better sanitary condition now than then. A few cases of the fever scattered over this great big South land of ours need occasion no alarm in this community.

THE SUPERNATURAL.
Contact With It Brings Out a Peculiar
 Kind of Fear.

Contact With It Brings Out Peculiar
 Kind of Fear.
 We wish the Psychical society would one day attempt an analysis of what, for want of better word, we must call the dread of the supernatural. Both those who believe and those who disbe- lieve in the notion that the veil between this world and the other is capable of being lifted agree i'll one thing. They all recognize the fact that most peopl fear, or something akin to fear, what they believe to be the occurrence of su- pernatural phenomena. There is here, therefore, piece of ground which may be explored without any begging of the question as to whether the fear is caused by real ghosts or by trickery, by rats aud water pipes or by genuine glimpses of the people of another world. One would like to know whether the fear felt is akin to that experienced when man is frightened by runaway horse or fire or any other imminent risk of life, or whether it is something differ ent in kind.
 Speaking broadly and without any
 GOliS10Giuh1O OA eAlO AtASbS3 OAV would say that ghost fright did differ in kind from the fright which comes from active danger. Most people have, we imagine, at some time or other in their lives experienced that eerie, un canny, creepy feeling which is assooiat- ed with the possibility of contact with the supernatural. Yet few would de- clare that it was in any sense connected with the dread of loss of life or limb. The man or woman who wakes up in the middle of the night and hears strange noises-thumps, raps, elangs and creakings-or sees lights or feels the touch of unseen hands is probably very frightened but the sense of bodily fear is not present. There is no dread of being killed. People in the agony of terror caused by dangerous accidents constantly call out that they are going to be killed, but we doubt if that's ey- CT the case in the e,-fYght caused by haunted houses. Possibly this differ snce may be said to be due to the fact that the dread of the supernatural is bot nearly so acute as that caused by the imminent risk of death. People, 1t may be argued, only imagine themselves to be frightened of ghosts as women pretend to be frightened of mice. In neither case is the fright quite genuine. It is only want of self control and could be mastered ill an instant if the will power were in proper order.
 Unfortunately for those who argue thus there is plenty of evidence to show that occasionally the dread of the supernatural produces very serious re- suits. On the whole, we should say that more people had been frightened out of their wits by what they believed to be supernatural phenomena than by aooi- dents involving great risk of life. It is not often that one hears of insanity caused even by the prolonged agony of shipwreok. The fear caused by what is supposed to be supernatural agency seems, then. to have in it some element l not found ill ordinary fear. If the haunt ing phenomena cause fear, they seem to give a shock of special keenness. Lon don Spectator.

 An old member of the South Noun tain Rod and Gun club was talking eff few solemn and inspiring truths for the benefit ct several younger members.
 "Vhen 1 was hoy. he WAS saying. ''I was about Ike ether hoys, 1 guess, only 1 think had tt fer notions than some have ] saow o1 now. Now, there's my son "-
 "Oh." interrupted one Of the listen CTS, you don't want to take boy hand icapped like that.
 Don't you worry about me-, re- torted the veteran. That boy will be ali the greater for winning with the handicap. Let me tell you about his craftsmanship. One day last winter he went out with me to hunt rabbits, and the luck was poor. We had been out about four hours, and all of sudden great big rabbit like calf jumped up right at his feet-the boys feet, mean and the boy kicked him one in the ribs and knocked him out in a minute. We'll, we were three or four miles from home. and we thought we might as we'll take up our game and tote 1t i'll and come out again when there was something more in sight We logged along, the boy carrying the rabbit in his game bag, till somehow it kind of came to and was about to get away, when l noticed it.
 |" Here, said I, thinking of some- thing, it won't ever do to take that home and tell the folks you kicked it to death. It's got to be shot, and we might as well do 1t now as any other time
 So l gets out string and ties it to the rabbits hind leg, and I hangs him on the limb of tree, and the boy gets off about 90 yards with rife to make it kind of sporty, and, after sighting a long time, bang! goes the gun, down comes the rabbit, and the way he skin | ned out for the short timber was eau tion to winged fowls, for he fairly flew. ! looked at the rabbit for about sec ond, and then l gazed on that boy. :" What ill thunder l began, when he interrupted me.
 Oh, say, pop, he sald, dld you see my craftsmanship? That string to the rabbits hind leg wasn't thicker than alarming needle, and blamed if didn't cut it off clean at 90 yards with rifle. Have you got a record like that, guy nor?'
 Had l? Of course I hadn't, and that boy had just gone to work and missed that rabbit and by chance cut the string and let the eottontail get away, that was all. But what could l say after that craftsmanship snap he dropped on me? Nothing, and I had to let it go at that. Now, what have you got to say to that boy handicap? Sayl" Washington Star.

h view of the many changes which have been rung on the early to bed, early to rise idea, the following opinion from an eminent medical authority ought to be of interest. He takes up the old statement that an hour before mid night is worth two hours after and gives his opinion as follows: "I had an opportunity to make some study of this subject in my naval service during the late war. On shipboard, as is undoubt- edly known to most of you, the ships officers and men alike-stand four hour watches day and night, and to get the required amount of rest are obliged to get their sleep irregularly. To so arrange it that the same man shall not be obliged to take early or late watches continually, the dog watch of two hours is interpolated, thus add ing to the irregularity. In watching the results for over two years could never discover that the watch, officers and men, were not as fully refreshed by their sleep as were the medical and pay officers, who stand no watch and have hours as regular as those of any householder. 1t seems to make but little difference to those who have giy- en careful attention to this subject whether people sleep at one time or an- other, so that they get sufficient amount Of sleep. --NeW oTK Ledger -

TIE prosperity boom has struck the big trusts with more force than anything else in this country. Sugar certificates are now quoted las high as 155, and the Dingley bill flas advanced them from no to this figure, therefore it is reasonable to suppose that Havemeyer and his as- sociates regard the new tariff as one of the most patriotic measures ever enacted by Congress. Staidard off trust certificates were also quoted last Friday at $333 share, gain of 13 per cent in ten days. Persons who own stock in these big trusts need not be concerned if the price of four goes up to $10 a barrel, and eggs sell for dollar a dozen.-New Orleans States.

THE salaries of the municipal off, cers to be elected in Greater New York next November will aggregate $200, 1000 year, but it is in the ap- pointive offices, numbering 23, LOGO, where the immense patronage at the disposal of the Mayor comes in, and which will amount annually in salaries to s25, 900, 900. With the power which this tremendous pat ronage will give, the political party that carries the election will in all probability retain control of the municipal Government of New York City for many years to come, be- cause 1t will be able to so strongly entrench itself that nothing short of political revolution can oust it.

The Cosmopolitan publishes thew rendering Of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" and declares, referring to Richard Le Gallienne as the responsible
 party, that these quatrains will assure to him a leading place among living
 English poets. What the literary world
 has been famished for, what 1t has craved with intense craving, is new
 version of the Rubaiyat, and what
 would represent it's widest dreams is a
 version prepared by the distinguished
 oriental scholar, Richard Le- GaIliepne
 who has alreadygT9en to the worf onle eescatt tteee prose fancies and possesses the finest shock of hair in Great Britain. It is true that the Rubaiyat has been done" into English by several gentle men of literary ability and respectable scholarship There was, for example, Mir Fitzgerald, who has obtained lit. tie temporary notoriety through some very pretty jingles on Omar's wine cup and roses. but the result was not satis- factory either to Mir. Le Gallienne or to the editors of The Cosmopolitan, and to this fact we are indebted for such lines as these:
 Like to maid who exquisitely turns
 A promising face to him who, waiting, burns In hell to hear her answer, so the world
 Tricks all and hints what no man ever learns.
 We believe that we are justified ill saying that man who is burning in hell while maid is exquisitely turning a promising face is what is known col loquially as "hot stuff, " considerably warmer than anything Mrs. Wilcox has dished up in late years We congratu. late The Cosmopolitan on its success iD securing Mir. Le Gallienne's quatrains, and we have only words of admiration for Mir. Le Gallienne's brilliant idea. We hope that he may feel encouraged by the eager applause of the literary public to perseyere on present lines and give us other amended version of the ancient poets. Chicago Post

BERARDINELLI CAUGHT.
Bhe supposed Murderer GOes to Al
huquerGue last Might and is
Arrested.

Sheriff Kinsell received a telegram
from Albuquerque this morning stating
that Berardinelli was under arrest in that
city, and requesting that some one come
for him. The arrest was made through
information furnished by DR.. Palmer, of
Oerrillos.
The doctor was in Santa Fe yesterday
and learned of the killing of Mrs. Ber-
ardinelli, aud also that her husband was
suspected of the deed. He returned
home on last nights tram, and as he
stepped onto the platform at Cerrllos he
saw Berardinelli get on the train IA it
started south Stepping into the telegraph
office DR.. Palmer sent dispatch to the
officers at Albuquerque telling them Ber-
ardipeli was on the train, and to watch
fer him. When the train arrived in that
city the much wanted man was placed
under arrest the moment he emerged
from the car.
1t is thought that Berardinelli walked
from Santa Fe to Cerrlllos, where he
remained in hiding until the night train
came in, expecting to reach Albuquerque
without being recognized by any one
but in this he most slgnally failed as he had
two or three years ago, worked in Cerrillos
and was we'll known by the citizens there.
This morning Mr.. Kinsell telegraphed
to Sheriff Hubbel to allow Berardinelli tt
make no change in his clothing and tt
make a through examination tor blood
upon his person and clothing. This after
noon Mr.. Kinsell took the local freight fol
Albuquerque, and will return with TIT
prisoner on No. . tonight.
