 smile plays Alas, our darling has ended her days. Ended on earth, but in Heaven begun Already her greeting the angles have
 sung. sweetly they're singing, while we can

Our Immense Railway System.
New York Iri ibune.

New York Tribune.
 The railway system in the United States employs 36,00O locomotives, 26,000 passenger cars and 5000 mail and bag gage cars These figures seem large till the number of freight cars is stated, which is 1,125,. 900. 4 passenger train con. sisllng of locomotive, tender, baggage and six passenger cars, with their contents, Is es. tlmated to weigh about 1S4 tons Freight trains some. times reach a weight of $50 tons. An ordinary passenger car costs from S4,0o0 to S5, 900 and 8 sleeping ear anywhere from s10,o00 to s20,00o. The system, with it's gigantic equip ments, is practically the growth of single generation. With the additions of another quar- ter or half century posterity ought to stand and gaze at it's stnpendous proportions. But it will probably be gradually educated ont of it's capacities of wonder, as we have been out of many of our own.

Great Is Arkansas.


 For we have seen the land, and De hold it is very good; place where there is ne want of anything that ts in the earth.-lloly Writ
 The climate in Arkansas is so favorable to animal and vege- table life that the census of 1880 shows the money value per acre of her farm products to be greater than that of any State in the Union except Louisiana.
 Within the limits of our State from the Mississippi River to the Indian Territory line and from Louisiana 10 Missouri the difference of al- titude between the alluVial bot. tom lands and the high lands of the Ozark Mountains. pro daces all the climatic and other characteristics of ten degrees of latitude. Thus while in the southern part of the State all the varieties of semi tropical fruits and plants may be grown successfully, and the great staple (collon) is produced Of a tineness of fibre and superior ity of quality not excelled by any other cotton State. The leading farm products and staples of the Northern States can be easily and profitably grown in other sections of the State.
 The great variety of soils, the rolling surface. the pre-. valence of springs, creeks and rivers, the equally distributed rainfall and .emperatare-these are all advantages to the culti. vator of varieties of crops such as no other State has Tn the same degree.
 We begin the first of April with strawberries, followed in succession with raspberries, blackberrles, cherries, peaches, pears, plnms, apricots, etc. Our winter apples keep until we have fresh fruits from the straw berry fields. Our shipments last year of berries amounted 10 1000 car loads. Apples and peaches to nearly 3 ,000 carloads. We raise twoI crops of Irish potatoes; a spring crop, which we ship to the Northern and Eastern markets, and a fall crop for home con sumption. This crop is quite an important factor, there be- Ing shipped last year over 200 carloads. We do not take in. to this account watermelons, tomatoes, beans, cucumbers, etc, large quantities of which are grown tor other markets. Nearly every county Tn the State is growing wheat Since the price of King Cotton has gone down to little more than the cost of production, our farmers are growing more wheat, corn, millit, timothy, herd grass, clover, stock peas, hogs, cattle, etc.
 Arkansas has 216 square miles of zinc All around the zinc are 2,199 square miles of marble of the quality of the Tennessee marble-the pink and black marbles being super for to any known. She has 2, ,347 square miles of coal. Ten years ago we mined 5000 tons; now we mine 100000 tons. She has extensive anti mony deposits; in the vicinity of these, mari and gypsum de- posits. She has the only chalk bluff in the United States which will make Portland cement, and the gentleman who started the first Portland cement fac. tory in Europe pronounced ours the best in the world. She has the only bauxite. deposit yet discovered in the United States. She has extensive deposits in kaolin, and about thirteen counties underlaid with clays,

 We learn that the organiza tion recently formed at Van Buren favors the grading and inspection system for unions that ship strawberries. Last year was the first time it was tried here and some of the shippers complain that they got the poorest returns they had ever known. They forget that they also shipped the poorest berries this section ever sent out. They shipped poor berrles because the wealth CT made good ones an impossi- bility. With favora ble weath- CT and close grading 1t can not help but be the best plan yet found.-Rogers Democrat.
 A bold attempt was made to rob the Bank of Gravett Friday night of last week. An en- trance was gained to the build ing by prying open the back door, after which a futile at. tempt was made to get into the safe, but in this they made complete failure. The work was certainly that of amateurs from the marks left behind They had procured a chizel, brace and pits, sledge hammer and a stick of giant powder. They dug part of the way through the vault and then put in piece of the glant powder and tore out quite a hole in the wall, enough to gain an en- trance to the vault. The safe was struck few times with a sledge hammer but no damage was done. The robbers re fused to take a Winchester setting in the vault or the one on the outside. The bank car ries a burglar insurance to pro- teet it's depositors against any loss from this source and that company will make good all the damage done The cashier, Mr. kindley, telegraphed to Bentonvllle for the county blood hounds next morning but Judge Foster did not send them for the reason, he said, they had not been properly trained and would be ofno use. There was eonsidera ble excite ment for a time and it is to be hoped the guilty parties may yet be apprehended and brought to justice. A continu- alton of the depredations done in this town in the past two months will eventually give the town a bad name It does look like We have some law and that at least a portion of it could be inforced to good advantage for the betterment of the town. .-Gravett News.
