there a State like Arkansas. We are all proud of our resources, agri : cultural. mineral etc., in the State. It is the coming States among the many we now have. Arkansas will yet be known as the Eden of Amer ica. It will be looked up to- It's climate, it's mineral, lumber and az ricultural pursuits are per excel Ience itself and can compete either in quantity or quality with any of them.

WHAT'S THE MATTER HERE?
Pauptrs are Supposed to be Buried
 by the County, We Believe.

Our attention has b9en called to a matter which certainly deserves censure, if is true. One of the un- dertakers Of the city informed our reporter that he was called upon re- gently to bury child out in the western portion of the city near Elm street.
 When he arriYe1 there, said he, .I found the ba6y laying there and to me it seemed to be dead a day or more; the house closed it's mothe. Jeff to wither. away Nothing was done in the premises until com plaints had been made.''
 Another case is that of an old col oreG woman 107 yeals old. She has been quite a character in Pine Bluff known as Old Nancy. She died last week in a room on T, nnessee street and was left there for two days and a half.
 What's the matter with the men who are supposed 10 attend to mat ters of this kind?

ELEVER EATEN BY CANN5BAES.
Horrible Story Told by n Sailor VINO Es-

Vancouver, B. c.. Jan. 27.After
escaping death by drowning, IL of the
crew Of the ship Manbare were cap
tured and eaten by cannihals OF New
Guinea. The Manbaro was bound for
Sydney, Australia, when it was caught,
in the tcrrible gale of December. Near
Cape Nelson it began to. sink. The
crew, IS altogether, left the vessel in
two boats and soon became separated,
One boat containing II men was
finally thrown ashore 10 miles from the.
cane. Tho sailors were seized by natives
from the island and hurried off to tho
village of the chief. One man, James
Greene, escaped.
Tho sailors were stripped and bound
and killed, ono each day. A wild orgie
was participated in by at least hun-
dred savages, who had gathered for the
feast.
In several cases the sailors were tor
tured by tho old women and children
of the tribe. The eyes of one were
gouged out. The doomed men stoically
watched the elaborate preparations for
their death. ~
In most cases the men were be-
headed, their heads being. stuck on
poles and paraded before the men who
were to suffer the same fate.
Greene was rescued by a steamer
after tramping without food q day and
night to reach the coast. The scenes
of horror he had witnessed turned his
hair snowy white.

general desi n is similar TO the old ones.
There is also material alteration in
the water mark in the paper. The new
water mark, which is made up of

"U. ST. upon which are smaller ones
'tP. o. d." with the figures "99'' un-
derneath, the space occupied being
