by the Establishments of the
demagogue.
Give us men in the next legis-
lature. Men of nerve, of ability,
of courage. Men who know the
right and dare maintain it.
These refle 3tions involuntarily
come to mind when we remember
how pusillanimous and little past
legislatures have been in mat
ters of legislation pertaining to
the maintenance of the different
departments of the state govern
ment.
Never did the state feel more
keenly the niggardness ard the
short sightedness of past legis-
latures than to-day. Not a
dollar of approximation to aid in
organizing and maintaining the
state militia. Not a dollar to pay
the expenses of those charged
with that duty. On every side
of us the states have made pro-
vision for an emergency like the
present. Arkansas has h done
nothing. Of course we will get
there with our two regiments,
somehow or other, but the man
ner of coming and going is des-
creditable to the commonwealth.
Give us men of brains, nerve,
intellect, courage to do the right
in the next general assembly,
Arkansa as Gazette.

The old and well known sea
term grog was originated as a
term Of derision and disgust when
Admiral Vernon in 1845 intro
duced the wise innovation OF
making his crew dIiak their
spirit ration diluted with water
instead OF neat, as they had hith-
erto done. The sailors did not
like the watery business, and in
revenge nicknamed the admiral
cold Grog" and his diluted mix
ture as grog, from the fact that
no generally wore an overcoat Of
a color then known as grogram-

A NINE YEARS WALK.

Of Paris, Berlin, st,

through all the streets, avenues
lanes and alleys of tho city, noy-
or travcrsing the same one twice,

SHEEP -SHEARING BY ELEC-
TRICITY.

Sneep are now Sneareu Dy eleC-
trio power in Great Falls, Mont,
by a method thus described by
w. D. Dickinson in The Elec-
trical World. Says Mr.. Dickin-
son:
"Great Falls, Mont, has for
some time been credited with be-
ing in advance of other places in
the numerous uses to which cleo
tricity is applied, and now it
again comes to the front with a
claim that it is the only place on
earth where sheep-shearing is
done with the aid of electricity.
"Many attempts have been
made to construct a sheep-shear-
ing machine for use here which
would do the W )rk formerly done
by hand, but none proved sue
cessful until the Woolsey shear
ing machines, brought from
Birmingham, England, were put
into operation this spring. These
machines, have proved their mer-
it, and five or six sets have been
in use in different parts Of the
United States. One set of twen-
ty was installed at Great Falls,
Mont, which has become by far
the largest wool-shipping point
Of the Northwest.
"Shearing sheds were erected
at Black Eagle Dam, near the
terminus of the street-railway
company's line, and this company
furnishes the power to drive the
neutrality-suspicious.. The amount
required was only 6 horsepower,
and there being at the time no
shunt-wound mortor available, a
street railway motor .
was taken from one Of the cars,
the armature-pinion being re-
placed by small pulley which
was belted to the main overhead
"After the machines were start
cd no difficulty was experienced
in keeping tho speed uniform, as
there were twenty of them con-
stantly at work. The foreman
of the shearers, after five min
ute's instruction, took full charge
Of the motor, giving it all the at
tention necessary, in oiling,
starting and stopping. The ma
chimes were operated for nearly
three weeks by this motor, and
in that time sheared 16, 1874 sheep,
averaging nearly 100 sheep per
day per machine.
"The shearing proved quite an
attraction, the street-raiIway
company carrying q large num-
Der of passengers to witness the
novel sight.
"The shears resemble horso-
clippers in their operation, the
power being transmitted to the
same through universal joints"

PHRASEOLOGY OF THE SEA.

~ viz O'tll9 uuAS VI LnSllSll
naval organization, vessels ofwar
had double crews, a military one
for fighting purposes and another
OF mariners for navigating duties.
In consequence, a large number
OF English sea terms have q mill
tary origin.
At that time, the raGr of
admiral was unknown, and the
chief officer of the squadron was
called a constable, Or Justice.
The term admiral as now used
is derived from the Arabic "amir"
or "emir," a commander las in
Amir -al-Cahr' commander of
the seal. The early English
form was "amiral' and is st Il
preserved as such by the French,
The title captain is not naval, 3,
but military one. Originally,
the real captain of a ship was a
"master, A military officer
was placed on board, though he
knew nothing of nautical matters.
(Grrduallp his Importance increas-
ed, while that of the master
diminished proportionately till at
the present day the masters S
office is gradually becoming OBJ
.solete. Commodore comes from
the Spanish "comendador."
The title Of lieutenant is bor-
rowed directly from the French,
and is meant as a place holder,
Or the one who took the place
Of the captain when absen,. In
former days there were no cadets
but volunteers, but with the
gradual advance of politeness,
the term cadet was appropriated
from the French.
"Boatswain" is derived from
the Saxon "Iswein," q servant.
Fhe term qpartermaster, as used
in both the army and navy, ap-
pears 10 be confusing, and an
,omalous. In the army it is tho
title of a commissioned officer
who performs important and
responsible duties. In the navy
he is simqly warrant officer
directing subordinate duties. In
old ships, and in olden times,
his position was a more i'm
portant one; so much so that he
was considered to be the fourth
part Of the master-hence the
term quartermaster.
The ships cook was QPce a
great man, and there are in
stances on record of his being
promoted for efficient preparation
of food. The shiq' steward was
originally the caterer.
The terms larboard and star
board come from the Italian
"questa borda" and "quolla
,borda," which by rapid delivery
became st&rboard and larboard;
but owing to the strong similar
ity of sound they were changed
into starboard and port (Latin
porto, to carry, the use of the
terms in the original form hav-
ing been the cause OF many
accidents.
Gangway has been handed
down from the days Of the anci-
.ent gallery Of the Phoeniclans,
,Carthagenians and Romans, it
having been q board which ran
along the whole length serving
as a passage for the rowors to
and from thor seats, 1t was
also used as Il resting place for
the mast and sail when not in
use,
The cockpit, in the lowest part
of the vessel below water, used
during an action for the treat
ment of the wounded, is derived
from tho old days of the English
sport Of cock fighting; but this
has been modernized and is now
