A OA(s)LAMITY.

Yesterday while business was
slack and the two handsome we
say handsome adyisedly, } proprie-
tors of the Oscar Turner Grocery
company. we're enjoying themselves
by hugging the stove for the
warmth it gave out, as well as list
ening to the tales of the rough
rider" of the house, they were
startled beyond control at the fall
ing down of the stove pipe, which
came down with a crash, and that
without warning.
OF course there we're some tall
running and somerset work put up
by these gentlemen who, a minute
before were laughing at the jokes
given out. The senior proprietor,
ran over a pyramid of tomato cans
upsetting them, while the junior
member skinned his nose against
the knob of the back door in his
efforts to get out.
The rough rider turned a double
somerset through one of the large
Chinese umbrellas used for an orn
ament, and the delivery nam, why
he has not been heard of since the
catastrophe.
Later-The stove has been put
in order again and the stove pipt

According TO statistics gotten up
by the Little Rock Democrat, there
were 149 homicides aud 80 suicides
committed in Arkansas during the
pear 1898. A rather Bad showing
an average Of two killings for each
county, lacking one. A proper en-
forcement of the law against muir
der and manslaughter would lessen
the number But as long as we
have a governor who pardons them
as rapidly as Coy. Jones does, we
need look for little improvement,

We have it on the authority of
the Tribune of New York that an
order has been issued by the cap
tain of one of the precincts of that
city that all negroes found wan
dering about at night in that pre-
cinct will be locked up unless they
can satisfactorily explain their

of the foregoing order was an as

The doctrines Of the SOM aud of
a FIXTURE life are spiritual hypoth-
;eses. They are undeulonsdrable
but We nevertheless accept the
truth of their existapce oil the
similar ground that without such
an admission we cann&t explain
the phenomena Attending al
earthly existence. In this, words
of Father Phelan, If there is no
hereafter, then life ii ono long de-
bauch, and the highest educa6ion
lis to know hows to find and} how
best to enjoy pleasure. &. gorin-
thians, XIV, 82) If there Iis no
hereafter, yirture is q deceit and
heroism is a lie. See that young
man bleeding from d hundred
wounds. He died in defence of a
sisters honor. If there is no
hereafter, that noblest of deeds
will go forever unrewarded. See
that young sister in the hospital
bending over a victim of the
plague; tomorrow she will sue
cumb, and a rapid ride and a
hasty sepulchre will reward her
devotion If there is no hereafter
her charity met a sorry requital.
See that man holding an af-
frighted child at the window of
burning building. He holds it
long enough for sturdy compan-
ion to grasp it from below, and he
then falls back into his fiery tomb.
If there is no hereafter, such sac
rifice is heartless and unmeaning
cruelty. See that troop of SOL
diers marching by to the beating
of the drum. Their country has
called, and they go to defend her
honor on the battlefield. They
follow that flag into the thick of
the fight, and when the bugle
sounds the retreat, few return
from the carnage. Those brave
soldiers died with their face to the
foe and a smile was stamped on
their features in death. If there
is no hereafter, their heroism was
suicide and their courage a mock
cry of fate

1t is in evidence that the south
is strongly against expansion
from the fact that volunteers to
go to the Philippine islands are
not falling over each other to en-
list. A large number of Amer

spank Spain, because of the Maine
incident. But they are satisfied /;
there is nothing in the Filipino
war to arouse patriotism. The
man who enlists for that war has
never investigated the matter.
