People may have to obey the leg islative enactments of our State legislature in other counties, but Pine Bluff seems to be vested with sovereign rights aud is law unto itself The legislature can pass no law that the present city admins tration is bound to respect. For instance, the last legislature passed a law saying that only five ceuts per bale should be charged during certain seasons of the year for weighing cotton, but our city weigh. CTS go on charging fifteen cents per bale just the same,

The issue raised by Attorney Gen. eral Jeff Davis, i. e.: the refusal of a bank to cash his check when he had no money in the bank to his credit, is one that will find many sympa- thizers. The arbitrary action of banks in this regard is one that causes many man constant trouble, for its hard thing to keep the credit on the right side,of the ledger. However, if it is sufficient griev- arce to cause one to run for office, we are afraid that the State will be oyer run by candidates next Spring and Summer.

The administration of the city of Pine Bluff seems to be law unto itself. The last State legislature passed law saying that the price for weighing cottoa in cities and in- corporated towns for the months of October, November aad December should be 5 cents per bale, and DO more. This law was published in the Graphic last week, but the city scales go on charging fifteen cents per bale as if there was no law to the contrary i'd Arkansas. This is not only in direct violation of the law, but an imposition on the farm CT as well.

Red Hair Wears Best.

Why are red-headed people less sub' feet to badness than those with fair or brown hair? An English physician has answered this conundrum: The hair of the red-headed is relatively thick, one red hair being as thick as five blonde or three brown hairs. With 5000 red hairs the scalp is we'll matched; with the same number of blonde hairs one is almost bald. It takes 160O00 blonde and 105.0OO brown hairs to cover adequately an ordinary head,

New Test for Coal.

A French experimenter suggests that the X-ray furnishes a ready means to detect stony impurities In coal. Carbon is very transparent to the Roentgen rays. while silica is opaque to them. Consequently the silicates, which form slag when coal is burned, can be seen like skeleton when the shadow of the coal is projected upon the fuores- cent screen.

NEW RANGE FINDERS.
which the Government May Adopt for
 the Navy.


 the Navy.
 One of the first unwelcome discov- cries made by the officers on the Amer ican warships at the outbreak of the war with Spain was that the mechan- ical range finders with which the Americans ships were equipped were practically useless in an actual en- gagement None of the range finders produced by inventors attempting to overcome the evils of the present sys- tenn have as yet been adopted, and it is not likely that the government will be in any hurry to adopt any. IL is known, however. that many of the of- ficers who have witnessed the prellm- mary tests of an instrument just de- vised by a young engineer in the navy have been favorably impressed with the simplicity, strength and accuracy of the appliance In it's general prln- ciple this new range finder is quite like one now in use in the French army, except for variations necessary to meet the different conditions of ma rine warfare. In the present device a cube of glass about two feet long is painted on one side with silhouettes of objects of various shapes and sizes, from ships to forts. This glass cube is mounted on a sliding scale marked off in yards and feet. In order to get the range of an object it is only necessary for the person using the instrument to move the glass cube up or down the scale as the case may be until the ob- ject to be attacked is the same size as the corresponding 6gure on the glass The number on the sliding scale op- posite which the glass cube stopped IS the distance of the object from the point of observation. The elevation of the point of attack is then figured by a comparison of the distance with the dimensions of the figure on the cube to which the point of attack was brought to agree. This method of determining range is still crude, but it is certainly original, and many naval officers say that it can in time unquestionably be developed into a very ingenious and expeditions method of arriving at the distance and height Of the object to ba fired upon.

AT DEAD o'THE NIGHT, ALANNA


At dead o night, alanna, 1 wake and
see you there;
Your little hand on the pillow with tossed
and tangled hair:
] am your mother. acuShla, and you are
my hearts own boy,
And wealth O. the world I'd barter to
shield you from annoy
At dead o the night, alanna the heart O.
the world is still,
But sobbing o fairy music comes down
the haunted hill
The march O. the fairy armies troubles
the peace o air;
Blest angels shelter my darling for power
of a mothers pray'r.
At dead o the night, alanna, the sleepless
Banshee means.
Wailing for sin and sorrow, by the Calrn
crumbling stones.
At dead O. the night alanna, L ask Of our
God above
To shield you from sin and sorrow, and
cherish you in his love.
At dead O the night, alanna, 1 wander
Ger and Ger.
Shall you part from our holy Ireland, to
die ON a stranger shore!
You'll break my heart in the leaving, like
many a mother l know
Just God look down upon Erin and lift
her at last from woe
At dead o. the night, alanna, see you in
future years,
Grand in your strength and noble, facing
the wide world fears;
Though down in the messy churchyard
my bones be under the sod,
Ny spirit shall watch you, darling, till
you come to your rest in God.

Broken-hearted broken-hearted, desolate
and lone,
Low voices from the past Ger my wreck

In every pleasure is mingled the bitterest
alloy,
And a starless night hath followed on
every sunset of my joy.
Broken-hearted, broken-hearted, oh, God,
is there joy.
Homeless. homeless, through the dreary

In bright or blighted places. wheresoever

ENDURANCE.

How much the heart may bear and ye
not break.
How much the flesh may suffer ana no'
1 question much if any pain OF ache
OF soul or body brings our end more
Death Chooses his own time; till that is
All evils may be borne.
We shrink and shrdder at the surgeon
Each nerve recoiling from the cruel
Whose edge. seems searching for the quiv-
ering life;
Yet to our sense the bitter pangs reveal
That still. although the trembling flesh
This also can be borne.
We see sorrow rising in our way, -.
And try to flee from the approae enins
We seek some small escape; we weep and
But when the blow falls then our hearts
Not that the pain is of its sharpness
shOrn,
But that it can be borne.
We wind our lives about another life;
We hold it closer. dearer than orr own,
Anon it faints and fails in dedthly strife,
Leaving US stunned and stricken and
alone;
But ah we do not die with tnose we
mourn:
This also can be borne.
Behold. we live through all things
famine, thirst,
Bereavement, pain; all grief and misery
All woe and sorrow; life infiictS its worst
On soul and body--but we cannot die,
Though we be sick and tired and faint
and worn
Lo! all things can be borne.

MEMORIES OF IRELAND.

L see in dreams purple mountain rise
Above a verdant vale.
Across the azure stretches Of the skies
L see the cloud-ships sail.

Signs mOurnfully along,
AS if its waters grieved to leave behind
The beauties here that thronE.
And this is home thus pictured in ny
dreams.
This bill is Slievenanmon;
And this the SUR, the queen of all the
streams
The sunlight plays upon.
This is the summer sky of bygone days
That on my youthhoOd smiled,
And this the Golden Valley through
whose ways,
/ wandered when a child
Oh. dear dream-pictures of my native isle
Across the Spreading seas.
You give me grief-yOu give me joy the
while
oh, sad. sweet memories,
For, as in ireland, through the binding
rain
The suns bright rays are cast:
so pleasure mingieS in my heart with pain
remembering the past.

LE1sURELY LANE.

is there no road now to Leisurely Lane? P
We Travelled 1t long ago;
A place for the tagging Of lesurely steps
sweet and SHADY and slow
There were rims of restful hills beyond
aud fields Of dreamful wheat.
With shadows of clouds across then
blown and poppies asleep at our feet
There dads and maids on a Sunday met
and stroled them, two and two;
The leaves they laced in a roof o 'erhead
and only the sun peeped through:
And there was time to gather 4 rose, and
time for the woodbird'S 5 call.
And plenty Of time to sit by a stream and
hearken its ripple and fall.
is there no road now TO Leisurely Lane?
Gods knows we have hurried afarD
There WAS once d lamp through the
brooding dusk, and over the tree a
star;
There Was once q breath of the clover
bloom (sweet Heaven, We have hur-
1ied so longD
And there was a gate by a white rose
clasped and out Of the disk a song.
That song--the echo is strange and sweet,
the voice il is weak and old;
1t hath no part with the fierce wild rush
and this hard. mad fight for gold!
1T hath no part with the clamor and din,
and the jarring of wheel and stone.
on, listen, my heart and forSet-forget
that we reap the bread we have
suwn,
is there no road now to Leisurely Lane
where. lingering. one by one.
The summoning bells OF twilight time
over the meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeWard way
glad Of the evening star?
Is there no road now to Leisurely Lane?

To teach the clouds our name.

On silent hills the miners
Walk by the Sme.ters dead.

Where fatal breakers foam?

To seven devils at pay.
