 A Correction,

EDITOR GRAPH1C:-I regret that l have been forced into print to ex- plain matters pertaining to my re- cent change in business. As soon as affairs were settled fully, I intended to fnilk ( Ii short written statement, and hand it in to the papers to avoid mistakes, but the reporters got ahead of me, and came in for all interview, and see Il few things to kick about, especially in the GRAPHIC where my friend Adams refers to the part of the case with the bank He entirely misunderstood me, and 1 wish it known that the Bank Of Pine Bluff is meant, and l take pleasure in here in stating that our business has been i'll their hands since their organiza- ton and there are no more agreeable and helpful people living They favored US in every way, and we are grateful.
 The way the mistake occurred was that Mf. Adams widely misunder- stood what l said in connection with the bank. 1 stated that some differences between the bank and other creditors existed, and a propo- sition to buy the banks claim was accepted by them-such thing as my saying that by the mportunity and assiduity of q local bank in en- forcing clam &c." is out of all req son. To the contrary, neither the bank and no other creditors were making any effort to push their claims, but tried to encourage me to go ahead. I was not making a financial success, and had an oppor- tunity to sell to a man who is able to take care of it, and everybody will get their dues.
 1 am obliged for the kind words and appreciation expressed in the papers, and no matter where my lot in lifeis cast, l will always remember with gratitude the kindness of the good people of this city, who deserve the reputation they bear for kind ness and generosity. Truly,

Sherman and His Tongue

We expect of course that certain Of
the English papers will catch very
promptly at the observations Of the few
papers in this country which applaud
the indecent and insulting words of the
secretary of state. There are papers in
England, as there are here, that delight
in anything which looks in the direction
Of setting the two countries by the ears,
and it is to be expected that they will
make the most of the secretary's insane
remarks and the foolish Endorsement
given them by some by some Of our own
papers. We have faith, however, in the
better sentiment Of both countries which
stands in the way Of any real quarrel
between the two leading nations Of the
world, who are bound together by so
many ties OF common interest.-Detrolt

Weddings have again been largely in
the majority this past week. With a
long season ahead, people are in no
hurry to inaugurate festivities that, once
begun, must be kept up until Lent shall
bring relief and rest. Besides, the i'm
portant question of clothes Is not yet de
cided. Summer IL still so much in evil
dence. with its organdies and muslins,
that thick or even dark fabrics are a
nightmare even to think Of, and styles
have not been definitely settled by the
powers that be (whoever or wherever
they are) beyond the fall chrysalis stage.
Therefore it Is either a case of wear old
clothes or summer clothes, and no self
respecting social function that deserves
the name will be hazarded by leaders of
the haut ton until mesdames and mes
damoiselles may come forth with i'm
punity in new frocks, each Of which shall
be the envy as well as the admiration of
all her friends, to say nothing Of the
triumphant annihilation OF possible fem
inine foes.

was the answer. Choate passed to other
subjects but the witness, as he left the

marked in an indignant tone: Il fail to
see, Mr.. Choate, the purpose of your
question about the Briggs heresy trial"

break up the Presbyterian church SO
