DIsAPPROvEs OFF THE GAME.
The Governor Of Arkansns nm a.,
Abuse of Foot BaII

The governor of Arkansas is the first
chief magistrate to disaprroye Of the game
OF loot ball. In a letter to President + l.
Buchanan of the State University at Fay-
etteville Gov. Jones takes the recent game
between the Fort Smith and State Uniyers
lily teams as text and strongly condemns
the sport as brutal, and recommends that
a stop be put altogether to the playing of
the game by the students of the State Uni
versity. The governor is ex-ofIicio presi-
dent of the State University board of trus-
tees. In his letter to Mr.. Buchanan Gov.
jones saws:
Il think the game of foot ball. as now
played, is a brutal sport fraught with
much danger to those playing it and alto

oational system. In fact, ii has been So

duced in the legislatures of several states

therefore, 1t being inexpedient to call a

Buttercups and daisies are generally as
ISOLATED in ones mind with Wordsworth,
children and Arcadian simplicity. 1t IS diff
fcult to conceive of anything hurtful or
dangerous in connection with the pretty
little yellow flower, but unfortunately it Is
not always the most modest and retiring
plants or flowers that are the least harm
full; for example, the deadly nightshade
(atropa belladonna). Not that the butter
cup can vie with the deadly nightshade in
poisonous qualities. and still when con-
stunned in sufficient quantities 1t will cause
death. A proof of this has lately been
afforded in England in the case Of a boy
who after eating some buttercups died
within few hours with all the symptoms
of irritant poisoning. The buttercup be-
longs to the ranunculaceae. and nearly all
the members Of this group possess poison
Gus qualities, chiefly of an irritant nature,
though in a few narcotic principles are to
be found Every year some children lose
their lives by eating poisonous seeds or
flowers, and care should be taken TO ex-
clude from gardens or parks where chill
dren play plants or shrubs of a poisonous
nature. as deadly nightshade. laburnum
and yew. Fortunately buttercups, though
nice to look at, do not as a rule tempt chill
dren to eat them wholesale, otherwise the
mortality from this cause would be much
greater than 1t is at present.

No Negroes In Canadian Offices.
From the Louisville Courier-JourDaI.

FROM the Louisville COurler-J0urDal
A. Is. Walker, New Brunswick negro
makes the startling announcement that
black men everywhere under British rule
are suffering intolerable oppression. Says
he:
When / come to look over Canada the
land of my BIRTH and cannot find single
negro man of my race, occupying or
filling public position of emolument or
honor. feel like asking Divine Providence
to curse this country because of it's utter
meanness, It's foul play and it's injustice to
the long suffering Canadian negroes. The
Canadian white people ought to be ashamed
of themselves for their cowardly and I'M
chivairous treatment of the Canadian black
people. Canada is nearly every bit as bad
as South Africa. Yes, New Bruins
wick. for vicious and malignant misethopy
If may be allowed to coin a new word to
stand for the white peoples INFORM hatred
of black people, outstrips Texas"
1t is evident that Mr.. Walker of Canada
is suffering from the same form of oppres-
sion of which the colored patriots of the
United States complain-the lack of lucra-
tive and important "awfices." Fair treat
raent in the race for life-the opportunity
TO earn an honest living. and the right to
participate in the government, are nothing
unless accompanied with 'emoluments and
honors,' for which very few are qualified
at all.
