And how are we to remedy our pres
ent evils? The Light is of the opin-
ion. we must ABANDON Personal
POLITICS, and get back to party prin-
ciples; indict and prosecute every man
who buys his office in violation of the
statutes; nominate and elect no man
who is not competent to fill the place.
Put good men on guard, to watch our
registration, and more rigidly enforce
the election laws and guard the purity
of the ballot. The elections as are at
present conducted in this city and
county are farces on our Republican
institutions; men are counted in, and
counted out at pleasure, the ballot
boxes are stuffed with illegal votes, and
the candidate who can promise the
most patronage. stands in with the
trusts and monopolies, and puts up the
most cash to corrupt voters is consid-
cred the best candidate. Thus the
office holder buys his office, and will
say the people be damned" The
poor taxpayer groans and foOts the
bill in the end.

trial is not admissible in a trial after
he is dead, is assailed and the cOnse-
quences in the miscarriage of criminal
prosecutions set forth. As to the diff.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by lScal applications, as they can not
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is 10y constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous lining Of the Eu-
staehian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed, Deafness is the result,
and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored 10 its
normal condition, hearing will be de
stroyed forever; nine eases out of ten
are caused by eatarrh, which is moth

This is Corn.

The Little Rock Democrat is the au-
thority for the kind Of corn lands they
have in that particularly blesse0 region
It says: Eight or ten years or so ago
there was a lake near MorriltOn cover
ing about 10000 acres. When the big
floods came two years ago, an opening
was made by the surging waters which
carried off all the water Of this lake
when the floods subsided. The ,td of
the lake dried up and left the richest
soil the world ever saw. 1t IS ten feet
deep, and nothing the Rive. Nile ever
produced could excel it. This year
Mills and HALEY have a crop Of corn on
about I,OOO acres Of this land. They
sowed the corn broadcast like wheat,
and the stalks are as strongas saplings,
and scores of ''shOotsr are also loaded
down. SIT is the most remarkable corn
crop ever produced in the world" de-
clared Professor Cox, and, TO make the
story even more interesting, he ended
it by declaring that 'cOon1 was caught
between the stalks, and, being unable
to extrieate itself because they were 50
thick, was killed by those who came
upon it.

The Western Girl.

The story books that tell Of the west
ern girl who flourishes a revolver, who
is pert and unladylike, who finds her
chief delight in shocking her refined
eastern sister, are written by meu
who know nothing Of real life ia the
west, declares a writer in Western
Homes" The true western girl can
take up" a claim aud live on it until
she proves up" if necessary. She
can baek-ire' and protect her little
home vixen the runaway prairie fire
threatens destruction. She can study
the few books within her reach until
she knows them we'll enough to make
her plan for more books aud more
study; and college is often the aim Of
these patient plOdders in books. she
knows 50 well the plants and fi1wers Of
prairie and bottom land, and has such
an intimate acquaintance with ami
NAL life, that the scientist who comes
there collecting is glad Of her assist
ance.
The early western life was hard in
some ways, but il developed a girl who
went oil 10 school with her own hard
earned money in her pocket, and who
mad the wOmanly reserve that, in spite
Of her freedom OF speech and the open
truth Of all her acts, made her safe in
any place, and many times earrie1 her
through evil that might have besmirch-
ej character Of less strength, bat
which was neither seen or known
by q nature so devoid Of suspicion and
so accustomed to straightforward truth
ful ness.
The sell-reliant girl who does not
know what fear means, who accom-
plishes whatever she undertakes because
she has strength Of will as we'll as
strength Of body, who loves the prairies
because Of their swelling breadth and
rhythmic undulations and for the added
reason that they were her home, is a
fall half of the very best product OF this
western country. Scattered all over
this broad land are earnest, true-hearted
women who are glad that through the
hardships Of early years they have be-
come 50 selfreliant that the power
needed for later work has grown up
within them and given them the
strength needed forevery days duties.
The western girl who has grown up
under such surroundings as have
mentioned has made for herself place
in the world, aud her selfreliant
strength has been helpful TO every wo-
man with whom she has come in con-
tact, while she herself becomes, in any
life, the woman who is looked up 10 in
church and club and in matters Of gen
eral interest TO the people of the COM
munity; and all because of the training
that has made it possible for her to

Travelling Without Escort.

a young lady who lately journeyed
from Wimbledon to London had very
uncomfortable adventure. She reach
ed the station just rs the train was
starting, and had only time to jump in
to tie first compartment, where she
dropped upon seat. Not until the
train was in motion did she notice that
she had a single fellow passenger,
man, young, well dressed, but Of
somewhat forbidding aspect.
The young lady unfolded a newspa-
per and began to read, but as the first
station was passed she ehaneed TO
glance again toward the other end Of
the carriage. Tine man was there, bat
his face was no longer serene. He ap-
peared to he greatly agitated, aud was
gazing intently in the direction Of the
young lady.
A sudden, overwhelming fear took
possession of her. All the wild stories
Of railway murders to which she had
ever listened rushed through her mind.
She felt herself doomed. She thought
Of shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused to move.
The mOnster-for so he seemed to
her-looked anxiously about him, sp-
parently to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his mufderous design.
Then he advanced to the other end Of
the carriage, came quite close to his
panic stricken fellow-passenger, and
put his right hand in his overeOat
pocket. Was he feeling for knife or a
revolver? Springing to her feet, the
frightened traveller faced him in de-
spair.
"What d. yo1 meal?" she cried,
halffainting with fear.
He beat toward her, smiled grimly,
and said:
Excuse me, madam. offer you
ten thousand apologies if 1 have
alarmed you. Such thing was
furthest from my thoughts, bu. the
fact i, I have to aIigllt at the next sta
ton, and since you entered the train
you have been sitting on my hat.
The revulsion Of feeling on the lady's
part can be better imagined than de
seribed. Bushes took the place Of
panic. Fortunately the hat was a soft
one.-YOuths' Companion.

A Solid Sleeper.

a good story is told of the Duke OF
Wellington. The French, with a fresh
force double that Of the duke, were
closing in upon his jaded troops one
stormy night in Spain. Wellington
completed his preparations and then
turning to a scout, asked:
"How long will it be before they can
reach us2"
"Halfan hour" was the reply.
"Then ] eau go to sleep" he said,
and, wrapping his cloak about him, he
dropped where he stood in the muddy
trench, and in instant Was asleep.
He awoke when the bugles Of the
enemy sounded in his ears.-LOndon
