st. Peter Clavers Church Notes,

The services at the 100 mass on last
Sunday was in every way equal to that
of Easter Sunday in the rendition of the
music and the choir has reason to feel
assured that without an orchestra they
can sing as pleasing and sweetly diff
cult mass as with one.
The sermon was taken from the Gospel
of the day. "By their fruit you shall
know them more simple Impression
and at the sametine more grandly and
eloquent sermon could not be heard in

and each won success at last
One used his daily leisure hour in
working out tho invention of a machine
for saving a block of wood into almost
any desired shape. Whom his invention
was complete, he sold the patent for a
fortune
Tho other man, what did he do?
Well, he spent an hour each day during
most Of the year in the very difficult
task Of teaching a little dog to stand on
its hind feet and dance a Jig. To be
sure he succeeded, but what then? At
last accounts be was working ten hours
q day at the same trade and ut his old
wages, blaming his luck for the hard
fate that kept him poor, while his fell
low workman had become rich.

ELSEWHERE in this issue will be
found the proceedings of meeting OF
railroad men held in this city
yesterday to protest against the
passage of the bill now pending in
the Senate to reduce railroad
passenger fare to two cents per
mile in this State. If this bill is
passed, it will no doubt result in
the diseontinuance of many of the
passenger trains now run, and in a
material reduction in the wages Of
railroad employees. No industry
has suffered more severely during
the past three years than the rail
roads of this country. Nearly half
of the railroads in the United States
are now in The hands Of receivers. So
far the principal lines of railway in
this State have escaped, butt seems
to be the main desire of the estima.
. bic gentlemen now composing the
Legislature to force every Arkan-
sas road into the hands of a receiver
also. Such hostility to corporations
can do the State no good. There is
no demand for a reduction of
passenger fare to two cents a mile
in this State, II Arkansas had as
many railroads as New York, Penn
sylvania or Illinois, there might be
some possible excuse FOR reducing
the fare TO two cents, but what we
need is more railroads in Arkansas,
and we can never get them as long
as our public men manifest such
unreasonable hatred Of corporations.
Verify, wilt the thirty first General
Assembly OF the State of Arkansas
90 down to history as the "Rump
Legislature.
