II there Is one thing for which Amer
ican. can be justly proud it is their chiy-
airy toward women. Our attitude toward
the fair sex is different from that taken by
any other nation in the world. The aver
age Englishman classes his wife along
with his pet animals; the Frenchman is
bsequiously devoted to her ana oetrays
her behind her back; the German toler-
ates her and the Turk ignores her alto
gether. The American worsbips her, and
although he (or a small portion OF him)
may occasionally forget to offer her his
seat in crowded car, he treats her with
poIiteness and consideration, doing so
naturally, without asking much in return.
For this reason the news that the German
Emperor, for speaking disparagingly OF
the mother of one of his officers, has re-
ceived what is vulgarly called black eye,
has caused universal satisfaction. In Eu-
rope the deed will elicit less comment on
account of the principles involved, the
principles that women are inferior to men
and that the tongue of royalty may wag
as it is minded 10. In spite of the trite
saying that we live only for the almighty
dollar, there is more true chivalry to
square mile in America than in all Eu-
rope put together. Since 1701 the time of
the Hohenzollerns has mainly been taken
up by teaching guttural-growIiug recruits
the goosestep. 1t has not been customary
! for them to
Caper nimbly in lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of lutte.
We of America, on the other hand, have
been educated under the softening inf1u-
ence of women in the public schools, have
learned our lessons side by side with girls,
and are therefore accustomed to treat
them as companions. Early in life we
evince our preference for the parlor to the
barracks, for the children's room to the
stables, and the influence of our early en-
vironment manifests itself until the end of
our days Until our system of the co-edu-
cation of the sexes is introduced into the
German empire and German women are
treated with the respect that is due them
black eyes will still be administered to
their detractors, crowned or uncrowned
1t seems strange to a layman why a
white-skinned pugilist should refuse to
meet a brother-at-arms merely because he
is black. Mr.. Sharkey, the late Pride OF
the American Navee. presents his compli-
ments to Mr.. Peter Jackson, the late
Antipodean Wonder, but cannot fight him,
being willing, l suppose, to stain his right
hand with red or blue blood but not with
plain black. Incidentally would remark
that the two men did not mind drinking
together. 1t is only within the last few
years, however, that knights of the ring
have commenced drawing the color line.
Men of different hue fought one another
unto death in the Roman am mphitheater,
and their prototypes, the wild beasts,
mangled the bodies of both with equal
zest. Twenty years ago the white prize
fighter who objected to meeting colofed
opponent would have been hooted out OF
the ring, and even today he is apt to lose
prestige among his own fellows. People
lacking the fine discernment of the prize

should not fight a negro are forced TO the

Our brother and our sister,
Honor is your due
As we ponder DER your walk in life
Since the year of seventy-two.
How little of this world you knew,
Gifts unreasing care and strife,
When you started on this voyage
The voyage of your life.
Together you We braved each danger,
Which loves link alone made Joy;
The trifling troubles of this world
Do not loves strength annoy.
Trust and tenderness are two factors
Of the finest, sweetest love.
And unto you, by these united
Showers the blessings from above;
And now, while we are musing,
Let US reflect on just a few
Lest you may overlook them,
II mention them to you.
As look around about YOU
see young faces, bright,
They re all here each spared to bless Y, u,
his memorial wedding night.
This to you is one great joy,
OF whrh only few partake,
Especially when the number
Counts up to number eight.
One more. a great, great blessing,
Which we know you don't forget,
Father, Mother. both of yon,
Are with your children yet,
And tonight we II join and celebrate
Your Wedding Day with joy,
As grief has never crossed your door,
Your pleasure to destroy.
Now these many little tokens
Which we know you II always prize
Keep bright and fresh in memory
Remembrance which in them lies
May you each be spared to journey on,
Gods blessings still receive,
And meet again on your Golden Day,
As on this fair October eve.
And as brother and as sister
We visit you tonight,
To ever keep in memory
Your life, which shines so bright;
And as brother and as sister
We must leave you in the morn,
Wishing you much future joy,
Still your pathway to adorn.

THERE may be some ground for doubt as to the truth of some of the stories of Cuban victories which come through Cuban sources, but there is no room at all for doubt that the Cubans are holding ali the territory which they ever had. Spanish confessions are conclusive on this point. The Spaniards are making no heaawwaayy against the in- surgents, so far as the worldlis able to judge. Weyler's campaigns have all been failures. This will not be a ten years war like the rebellion which broke out in Cuba in 1868. It is plain that Spain could not main tain struggle on the present scale half as long as that. Itis question of endurance between tbe two beliq. erents. If the insurgents can hold their present strength year or two longer victory may be eertain.- St. Louis c oJe Democrat.

 we hope will soon begin to fall. Our deputy postmaster, MT. C. E. High land, had to move the postoffice out Of the old home. He put the mail in lar5e satchel and carried it with him on the leyee. Thus We had a free delivery in Red Fork. for we could get the mail anywhere we found the postmaster.

They are due great honor for rallying at the call of the plantation bells, which tolled to no- tify them of danger. The Mississippi has the water backed upon most of the farming land, and it is slowly rising; but we hope for a fall
 Capt. Buck, Judge Pindall, Mir. Garder, Mir Cheshire and Mir. Barnett are citizens of whom Desha county should be proud, for they did not wait for the levee board to meet to pay the negroes. but each man went down into his safe and paid out his money to the hands on their farms.
 We will need help from the govern ment to help make our crops when the water goes down. There are plenty of destitute people Many families have subsistetl on bread and rabbits; one man caught thirty-seyen to feed his family, and it was not a good time to catch them, for the. water was too high for successful rabbit hunting.
