consumed by Gov. Jones in setting forth his supposed reasons for his disapproval of the settlement.
 Gov. Jones makes the matter as clear as mud, and we admit, after reading his lengthy message of words, words, words" that we do not know as much about the subject now as we did before.
 From his maiden effort in writing veto messages we do not suspect that future chroniclers of the his tory of this State will write Gov. Jones down as an author noted for his terseness and clearness of ex- pression, or distinguished for his breyity
 The major part of the message is devoted to what Senator Berry, who recommended the acceptance of the settlement, had to say about it and the Iron Mountain railway when the matter was up in the Sem ate. Such an opportunity of point ing out an apparent inconsistency jn the record of Arkansas junior Senator, the Governor could not let pass.
 Tie milk in the cocoahut is that Jones wants Berty's place, and therefore the "Aings9 of the former at the latter in his message Hav- ing been elected Governor of Ark ansas by a reasonable party senti- ment, and at time when the peo- pie were carried away with emo. tionaIism, this exzcorporation law yer now seeks to ride into the Sen ate Chamber by pandering to the unreasonable prejudices that exist against the Iron Mountain railway and pulling Senator Berry down in an eudeavor to show that he IS un- der the influence of the aforesaid railroad corporation.

 The State Senate manifested it's feelings in the premises by prompt ly repassing the resolution over the Governors veto, and even the dilia- tory and fillibustering parliamentary tactics of the Governors Senatorial following was hardly sufficient to prevent a disrespectful haste in the passage thereof.
 Now the matter goes to the House, where it comes up for con- sideration Tuesday, and let us hope for the honor and credit of the State that it will pass that body with the necessary majority as earley as it did in the Senate.

At the last congress of German

that he had found living bacteria in
wine which had been bottled % to 80
years.
One of the last things accomplished
by the Fitzgerald expedition of noun

Andes was to discover a volcano in full
operation in region in which no one
had suspected the existence of such
phenomenon.
French coionNts to the number of
10000 will soon go to Mexico to colonize
100000 acres of rich coffee lands in
the state of JaIisco. From the other
side the japanese are also forming a
colony in Mexico composed mostly of
the agricultural classes.
Tobacco was grown so successfully
in Polk county, Fla, during the spring
that large areas are under cultivation
for the fall crop, which is said to be
the better of the two, and the country
folk talk cheerfully of the money re-
turns of which they feel confident.
The airship craze is said to be near
~ as strong in Germany and on the
continent as in this country Prof.
Hoffman. an imperial councillor, has
invented a machine constructed on the
principle of dragon. with steam pro-
pellers, which he is confident will work
all right.

The WASP,

The passengers were warm and tires.
The air was thick with smoke;
They looked disguised. sullen, cross;
None ventured jest or joke.
A lady with a pile of books,
A boy and servant girl
Stepped through the door, and in a trice
All heads were in a whirl
The boy began to slam the books,
And slap the patient nurse;
To pitch things through the crowded car,
And snatch the ladys purse.
He clearly was an only" child,
For often she would say:
Now, Mary, do not tease the dear
Just let him have his way"
The nurse repressed her rising tears;
The tyrant pulled her hair
And screamed. The mother quickly said:
Don't tease him, Mary-there."
A wasp flew in and settled down;
The boy reached out his hand:
The nurse said: Harry, it will sting"
His cry called forth command.
With eyes half closed the mother said:
Now, Mary, let the child
Have what he wants, and let me sleep
You drive me nearly wild"
With weary sigh the nurse withdrew
Her hand; he made a dash
And caught the creature, sting and all;
He knew it in a flash.
The mother started at his cry,
That Tivaled lions roar
With: Mary, let him have it now"
And stamped upon the floor.
He got it, ma am, the nurse replied;
The travellers screamed for joy;
The nurse expressed a mild surprise;
The mother kissed her boy.

There is funny case of international
honesty down in Arizona, Just on the
line between that territory and Mexico,
says the Washington Times. A Yam
kee farmer lives there, one Amasa Bar
row by name, and it is his business to
raise chickens. Chicken feed is cheap
in Mexico and chickens bring fine prices
in Arizona, but to raise fowls in Mex
leo and bring them across the boun-
dairy, or TO buy the feed and bring it
across, would involve the payment of
a considerable duty, which would eat
the profits about as fast as the hens
could eat the corn. AS for smuggling,
that was not to be thought of.
Amasa is a Yankee, and he is so hon
est that his neighbors say he wouldn't
take advantage of a man in horse
trade. But he is also full Of Yankee
