Truly the law is as a dainty lady
Those who dress i'm silk and broad
cloth IL handles with kid gloves;
but those are dressed ia the sarb of
poverty, it handles with a grasp of
iron when they get into its clutches.
This fact was clearly shown when
magistrate Of Hot Springs fined Col.
John J. Spmpter, the wealthy citizen
who attacked Mr. c. N. Rix with a
dirk knife and wounded him, $500
for disturbing the peace and $500
for carrying a weapon That same
magistrate, without a doubt, has
fined many better, yetpoorer man,
ten times that amount for a less of
Tense.
There is little difference in the
magistrates of Garland county and
those of Jefferson. A man Of inau-
ence ard wealth can violate the laws
with impunity, and if he is ever
punished it is only about tenth
as severe as thatawarded his poorer
and less influential brother Every
day this. fact is impressed on our
minds.
Even the Grand Jaries eondoue

Deafness.

It las been stated that three persons
out of every five in this country who
have attained the age of 40 years are
more or less deaf IN one OF both ears
A large proportion Of this deafness Is
caused by catarh, and medical treat
mout for difficulty of hearing is usually
directed to the catarrhal source In Eu
rope much Of the deafness is hereditary
Or James Kerr Love of Glasgow re.
Gently read paper on deafness before
the poyal society Of Edinburgh, from
which lt appears that congenital deaf
ness may be either hereditary in the di-
rect line CT in collateral branches, and
that it depends on not one, but many
anatomical defects. Intermarriage of
deaf persons perpeslates but does not
accentuate the tendency of deafness.
The hearing brothers and sisters of deaf
mutos are us likely to have deaf mute
offspring as if they had been deaf mutes
themselves. Consequently Of parents
emphasizes family defects, and in this
gay many cases of cougenital deafness
occur One of the most singular points
of DR.. Loves paper was the assertion
that the state lad the right to control
the marriage Of persons belonging to
families badly tainted with deafness.

Eunny Requests For Books That Amuse

Once in awhile the clerks in the pub
lie library get hold of a good joke
Through the Ignorance of people who
come there to take ont books. 1t was
not long age that a woman who was
anxious to join the Daughters of the
American Revolution came there to
lock up her family history and get her
facts and claims ready to submit to the
committee ON membership. She went
about it in rather Il queer way After
looking about aimlessly through the IN
dex for time she discovered 9Lossing's
Family History Of the United States. ~
She wrote her request for the books ON
one Of the cards provided for that pur.
pose and was quite indignant with the
clerk who handed it to her because it
did not contain what she wanted
1t was not long after this incident
chat another woman, who, from her
dress and appearances the clerks thought
might be literary, wrote on one of the
cards a request for 1.-The Auroerat Of
the breakfast Table.
S'Holmes' .Autoerat. Go You want?"
politely asked the clerk.
"0h, i don't care whose it is, was
the reply. only want to find out if il

Another request fer a magazine which

ONE of the speakers at the eman-
cipation celebration held in Little
Rock Thursday was Hon. II. L..
Kennel, collector of internal reve-
nue., who spoke eloquently Of the
progress of the colored race, and in
the most commendatory terms eX
horted them to continue in their up
ward march Of progress. But one
thing he did depreeate the passage
of the Thurston bill for pensioning
Of ex-slaves. He branded the scheme
as visionary and the fyeriest non
sense advising those who were being
duped into spending their dollars in
such a cause to keep their money IN
their pockes, and steer clear Of such
illusions. The speaker, continuing,
said that these very people who are
thus seeking to become beneficiaries
of the government have heritage
more valuable than gold from the
hand Of that government. Their
liberation cost the best blood of the
Union, and the price Of their free
dom was national debt Of two and
half billions, saddled upon the
country at the close Of the war, with
d pension roll Of sl45, 600, 900 an
nually. What more could you
