ARKANSAS IN THE U. S. SENATE
In sixty Years We Have Fad Fourteen
 Senators.

The Washington correspondent of the Courier Journal gives the follow ing interesting item with reference to Arkansas representation in the Senate during the pastsixty years:
 Arkansas, or Arkansaw. as the State is now designated by the statute, was admitted to the union in 1886, sixty years ago, and during that period fourteen different indi- viduals have represented the State on the floor of the United States William $. Fulton, Ambrose Is. Seyier, Chester Ashley, Solon B0r- land, William K. Sebastian, Robert ". Johnson, Alexander Mcdonald, Benjamin r. Rice, Powell Clayton, 4. II. Garland. James D. Walker. James K. Jones and James II Berry.
 Fulton. one of the first two Sena- tors, had been military secretary to Gen. Andrew Jackson and q pupil in the office of Felix Grundy. Ashley. the third Senator was a New Eng land Yankee, born and reared in Massachusetts, and he was chosen to the Senate from Arkansas as a Democrat over the famous Maj. Archibald Yell, the cavalier, q hero of Mexico, Sebastian was in the Senate from ISIS to 1861, when he was expelled for disloyalty. Alter ward it was claimed for him that he was q strong union man and greatly opposed to secession, though he WAS not so violent in antagonizing that dogma as Andy Johnson or Frank Blair. He was more like Charles 4. Wieklific in his opposition. do not find that the senate ever reseinded or expungea the resolution of cxpuI- sion IL fs as much tee late now as it would be for the English parlta- ment to repeal an attainder found when white and red roses were hav- ing it out in the days of the Rlantag- enets. Johnson was Il KentuekiaH and had won very considerable coa- gressional experience before he be- came Senator. Iti is 9u old aneed0te that President Pro=5empore Atcheson used to recognize Johnson as @the Senator from ArkansaW9 and Sebas- tian as 9tbe Senatorfrom Arkansas because of the different pronuncia- ton the Senators gave their state. They were the last Of the old regime. They were in the Senate when Hind man was the Hotspur of the House. Johnson was afterward in the Com fcderate Senate aud Bindman q gen- eral in theConiederatearmtes. Yertly the world has eha .15., ,H tse last thirty-fyc years.

A Bright Little Prince.

Prince Oscar, the son of tho empress of Germany, is very bright. cheerful littlo fellow just turned 8 years of age. IIo is passionately fond of all things rec lnting to seafaring matters, and If his present bent may be taken as an indica- tion of what he eventually may become 1t is very probable that he may repre- sent tho children of tho German emper- or i'll tho navy. Ho has q magnificent collection of river craft of all kinds, from a rowing boat to a man-o'war The wealthy subjects of tho emperor get to know all his ehildren's likes and purchase for them most expensive toys, which they ask permission to present.
 Prince Oscars collection of marine toys would be sufficient to stock q good sized toyshop, and they present very pretty sight when they are all let loose on orc of tho lakes adjoining the royal residence

There were some queer modes of pun ishment for naughty girls and boys in our grandmothers days When stitches went awry in patchwork, the small fin gers were smartly snapped with tho sinewy forefnger and thumb, the for mer capped with heavy thimble of shuge dimensions. This was much more severe than the mere telling would i'm ply, and the young cuiprits soon learned to dread it.

Dress Interlinings.

The general tendency IS to discard all stiff intcrlinings oil tho newest gowns. This does very we'll whero one can af- ford q crisp taffeta silk lining in each new dress, but when this is not possible not o,few women are protesting against the use of nothing but Il soft finished porcaline lining, with no sort of inter- lining added oven as facing They argue, and justly so. that skirt so fin ished has lank, unstylish appearance (espeeially if of soft wool fabrio) after the so recent vogue of interlined undu- lating skirts with n crisp faro and a certain eachet wholly absent in q soft lined model whose folds or breudths fall limp around tho feet like thoso of q Quakercs5. There arc number of fash icnablo modistes who have come to the rescue ill this matter. They make an underskirt nearly as long as the dress skirt, employing crinoline, haircioth, moreen. etc., ns may be preferred, for the foundation This skirt can bo GOV cred with silk Of eomo dark shade and if well cared fer will last long time, This skirt is gorcd on tho front and sides, with deep aounce at the bottom, and the three or four shirred or box plaited ruf1les ab the back are run through tho inch wide hem at their edges with |. single band of feather bone. Worn under the dress, all the slightly naring effect of an interlined skirt is given. New York Post.

Educational raclIitics Tor Women.

Five or six years ago Mir. Washing ton Duke of Durham gave $65, ,000 to secure the location of Trinity college in Durham, being then the largest single donation for educational purposes ever given by North Gnrolinian. At tho re cent session of tho North Carolina Meth odist conference at Kinston Mir. Duke, through President Kilgo, gave $100, GOO to tho endowment of Trinity college, with the solitary but farreaching con dition that tho trustees, upon its aooopt- auce, will arrange for the admission of girls. Mr. Duke is q man of great prao- ticaI sense. He has been studying Trin- ity college since 1t first moved to Dur ham. He has become convinced, just as Ezra Cornell camo to believe, that when larger opportunities of higher education arc offered to men they ought also to be given to women In North Carolina Elon, Catawha, Guilford and Ruthor- ford have been open to women, and the practice has worked well-Rnleigh {N. ! q. !
