terms again becoming popular, though
it has never entirely gone out of use in
practical needlework, as dressmakers

'POSSUM POLITICS.

Thursday of last week was a
memorable day in the annals of
Annieville, says the st. Louis Re-
public. 1t will not do to desig-
nate the little Arkansas town as
"any old place." because it has
but recently made its appearance g
on the map and perhaps for the
first time engraved it's name upon
the pages Of contemporaneous po-
litical history.
The cause Of Annieville's sud-
den projection upon the canvas
of fame is the fact that, on the
date given, Honorable Fl. F. Au-
ten, republican candidate for
Governor Of Arkansas, made the
opening speech of the campaign
within its corporate limits.
To characterize Mr.. Auten's eG-
fort as an oratorical speach. would
only result in showing the utter
inadcquacy of a horticultural SIM
lie for purposes Of forensic illus
tration. 1t was a gem whose in
nate brilliancy needed but re-
ceivod no kindling ray from the
sun Of truth, 1t was u rainbow,

FOOD FOR THOUGHT.

Busy lives like running water,
are generally pure. Nothing will
do more to improve the looks than
sunshine in the heart. Endeavor
to keep your life in the sunshi &c
the shadows will catch il soon
Cnough. A child's mind is often
a white piece of paper upon which
anything may be writton. Don't
bot it. Happy is h who learned
this one thing-to do the plain
duty of the moment quickly and
cheerfully, whatever it may be.
If you want knowledge, you
must toll for it; if you want food,
you must toll for it, and if you
want pleasure, you must toll for
it. Toll is the law. Pleasure
comes through toll, and not by
self indulgence and Incidence.

life is a happy one. Therefore

show that his theatre Of action is
properly upon the floor of the
house and senate until the ma
turity Of his powers shall bestow
upon him whatever is worthy of
the errand he is no doubt called
to perform. For however vague
the term may sometimes appear
to the general reader the "genius"
of the man points to a champion
ship of the people, and not to the
speakers chair, the history of
which has been in this state but
a chapter of epitaphs and of par
odies upon noble ambitions that
deserved a better fate than to
fall victims to the petty spites
and jealousies of a class of men
generally present in that body of
the Arkansas legislature.
This distinction is most sig
nificant, if the gentleman will
heed it. Such championship of
the people, as is possible in his
case, is something absolutely
needed for the times upon which
the state has come, and it will
follow as a matter of logical ne
cessity. And what is so well an
indication of the man having been
found for the place is Mr.. Herrn's
personality and reserved power,
not to mention the fact that a
consensus of public opinion al
ready answers the question OF
why he should do the errand he
is evidently called to perform.
Mr.. Herrn, at any rate, should
have no misgivings that would
make him hesitate to accept at
its face value the opinion held OF
him by the public. 1t is historic
ground that would be committed
to his keeping. From it all great
men Of the American union have
fought their way into national
renown. A contest waged for
the rights of the people, and not
for self promotion, was in each
case the oontributory cause OF
their greatness. And, divestel !
of all verbiage, no credit of great
achievement comes to any man
whose powers and whose best
estate do not pre- -eminently lit
him for it.

YOUTH is HAPPY.

In childhood the dew drops
sparkle as diamonds while for
age they suggest red cough
syrup. Mans careless reckless
life changes them from ornaments
to medicines for broken down
constitutions. Age should not
change the merry warble Of the
groves' choristers to the weird
cav cav of the crow. Barmonies
should not lose their melody nor
pleasures its joys. Centuries 90
not dim the stars or weaken Il Q
suns rays.
Life is not q dull dream, a dead
sleep, but an active reality.
Covot wisdom, for it is leverage
power. Waste not those youth
ful days, when ambition is strug-
Cling to reveal itself, whom the
noble desire is asking for an out
ward and enduring expression.
Eternity will hear no moan more
heavily burdened with sadness
than age weeping over u misspent
youth, filled with lost opportuni-
ties, empty of all those riches
which youth alone ,an give TO
age. AS the springs ill the sea,
so should bouyant youth empty
. its treasures into hoary-headed
age. AS wisdom increases and
the vision is extended, new beaut-
les rush into sight and the soul
rises as on angel wings. Joy
seems unconiined, The youth is
not moving away from happiness,
but into deeper joys. The world
, is full Of music, every wind is
perfumed with a divine frag-
rance, and earth and sky painted

This inventory Of oCa,orical
gags has become dog-oarod from
use and mildewed from long ex-
posure on the republican husJiugS
of Arkansas.
During Arkansas Days of
Terror, from '68 to IA, when the
forces of Scallawaggery and
Carpetbaggery were carrying on
an orgy of misrule and corruption,
looting the revenues of the State
and planting insecurity and fear
in the homes Of all law abiding
and conservative citizens, Repub-
lican stump speakers went about
in town and country making the
same raw head and bloody
bones" statements that the spell
binding Mr.. Auten aired in his
Annieyille speech.
Even if all the musty accusa-
tions in Mr.. Auten's speech
against the Arkansas Democracy
were accepted as gospel truth by
the "vast crowd that flOcked to
hear him." it will avail him
naught.- For he let fly one
declaration that pronounced his
political doom.
In enum Grating the list Of bat
tie cries for his followers to split
the welkin with during the cam
paign, he gave out the following:
"a new Arkansas-Wherein the
'coons, the 'possums and the
mossbacks are relegated to the
rear"
A very small percentage Of the
voters Of Arkansas care about
feasting on mossbacks, but fully
so per cent Of the Republican
membership in the State-those
who are "dyed in the wool' and
beyond it-enjoy coon and love
'possum with sweet 'taters and
gravy" better than they love any
political party on earth.
When Mr.. Auten placed himself
on a political platform which in
sists on the banishment Of "ooon5
and 'possum to the rear in Ar
kansas" he announced in effect
that his own political funeral will
take place early in September,
and thousands of his own party
will help pile on the cIods,-Re-
