nial Supt. and lady entered con- veyances and were driven to the Deaf-Mute Institute to witness the closing exercises of that school. It Is situated on an eminence about miles West of the capital. We approached 1t at night under the brilliant glare of electric lights. The enormous buildings and su- perb furnishings show that the strength of the great State is be- hind the workings of such wonder ful results.
 There seemed to be about ROO pupils ranging from six to possibly 3 or A years of age. The hall was brilliantly lighted and the mutes were in the passages, on the piazzas, at the doors, and many near the rostrum. The smaller pu- pils were dressed in uniforms of white, and more intelligent, hap py and cheerful lot of children we have never seen. It was equally amusing and interesting to the yis- itor to see the little fellows SO gay. communicating their thoughts to each other on their fingers with such rapidity. The exercises con sisted of examination of pupils in arithmetic, grammar, history, etc. Their answers were readily and accurately given. The salutatory and valedictory were read by teach CTS and delivered by the selected pupils in gesticular form, their mode of conversation. Several vocal selections were rendered by them thus in perfect time to piano accomplishment. The most en- teresting feat of all was the con versatlon of some mutes who had never heard the sound of human voice or even the mighty peal of thunder. They were taught to in- terpret from the movement of the speakers lips, then in turn answer in spoken language. That Is won derful, phenomenal. Time and space forbid more. On the next afternoon we witnessed the exer- cises of the blind school.
 The program consisted of music. by the band of blind pupils with blind teacher, drills, marches, es-

 From the exact movements of the pupils one would hardly sus- pect any were blind. We were struck with the element of self-re- liance as developed by the pupils. They went everywhere and any where at will, with perfect ease. A word here with regard to the valedictory by Miss Harriett Brad ley would not be amiss. It was a brilliant production classic, poet ic, historic and philosophic, and was pronounced by Gov. Jones, who delivered the diplomas, as the best he had ever heard. We left that afternoon, highly entertained and greatly delighted as to the phe- nomenal success and the magnitude of the operations of these schools. It is no plaything for the Board of Managers to keep these institutions properly offieered and in perfect working order, and We we'll un- derstand the Cows. motive for se- lecting men of such eminencc and sound financial judgment to con trol and manege an institution of so vast importance.

 The old mans agony increased. ''The lightnings flashed with brighter glare, the thunder growl- ed with deeper energy" The sit uation of the night was one of awe and terror to superstitious minds. As the night passed away the storm ceased, the clouds van ished and the old man became per feetly ssealm. Becoming rational, he looked around the room for | moment, seeming amazed at his attendants. Then with d steady gaze he fixed his eyes upon large picture hanging upon the wall, | tear trickled down his cheek he pointed toward the picture, made an attempt to speak, gasped and died.
 On the morrow, in "a grave just six-by-three" we buried him beneath the shade of a dropping willow tree. Returning to the cabin and examining the contents, we took down the picture from the wall and found written on the margin:

School for the Blind at Lit tie Rock. Owing to a lack of ac- quaintanee with these institutions, we never had any special desire to visit them, but when occasion per mitted, we gladly seized the op- portunity to make the visit. By the way, we hardly suspect tenth of the population of the State have any idea at all of the success and the wonderful work these schools are doing for the unfortunate of the State. As matter of inter- est or information it will certainly pay anyone visiting the capital city and wishing to take in the points of interest, to inspect these places.
 The School for the Blind, beau tiful of situation, is located at the Southern end of Center St. and looks towards the city. The grounds and surroundings are beau- tiful in the extreme, and the build ings large symmetrical, and solid. On entering, we were met by the gracious host and hostess, Col. and Mrs. Gray, who greeted us with such cordiality as to make Us and other visitors feel at home, forth with.
 We were impressed "at first sight" with the neatness and or derly arrangement of things, the system and regularity of manage ment. Under the direction of Mr. Matthews, who was so well ac- quainted with the attaches and all things, the buildings and grounds in their entirety were inspected. As the shops were closed we failed to see their work, but enough was seen to understand the extent of training in this department. They are taught trades at which it is not only possible to make living, but something more than competen- cy.

THE SAD FATE
 OF A PIONEER LAD.
BY "PONTIAC.)

(Contlnued from last week.
 Occasionally he received a letter from her, inspiring him with new patriotism and greater hope that he would be able to safely return. So far the tide of the war had al ternated, but now Grant had con- pleted his task of opening up the Mississippi and the Confederacy was cut in twain. All communi- cations between the two parts of the assundered Confederacy was cut off and Malcom never heard from her again Still he knew of the conditions and never entertain ed d fear that she was not await ing his return. As time rolled on the war continued with deeper en- ergy and the tide Of victory wa vered. The Federals had failed in the Red River Expedition. Gen. Steele, who had command of the Federal forces in Ark. had failed to co-operats with Gen. Banks in this expedition and upon learning of his retreat, with great difficulty and much hard fighting had es- capped back to Little Rock. Many of his men had taken sick, and un- able to continue the retreat, had been left behind to be taken pris- oners, or to reach the Federal forces as best they could. Among these was young Colonel who had fallen ill, and dropping be- hind, had accidentally stopped at the house of Malcom $ sweetheart. He remained sick quite while, and even after he had fully recov- cred, was 10th to go, for during his short stay he had fallen des- perately in love with this beauti- ful Southern maid. He first en- listed her sympathy for the Union cause and after month of wooing had succeeded in winning her heart and hand. He secured a leave of absence from the army on the pretense of i'll health, married her and bore her away to his
 Northern home.
 Maleom. still thinking his girl true, fought valiantly to the end. He was among those who laid down their arms at Appomatox. He now hurried home, no longer thinking of the hardships of the past, but looking Harvard to the time when he would reach home and claim her who had promised "that she would never wed any one until she knew sthat he was dead" But alas! as is often the case with those who love too wild iy. he was sadly disappointed. His sweetheart had not only de- serted him but had proven traitor to the cause he had fought so man. ly to sustain. Misfortune beset him on every side-the slaves had been set free by the war, the stock and everything of value had been carried of by the Jay Hawkers and buildings of every kind laid in ashes by the enemy. His coun- try held no charms for him now. The patriotism which famed so ardently within his bosom and that hope which had sustained him during the four years of conflict and strife, were extinguished. He would 30 away 10 some foreign

 Mexico offered him this oppor- tunity. Maximillian, aided by France, was leading revolution in this country and many South ern soldiers having refused allegi- ance to the United States had es- pouscd his cause and were floCking around his standard. Malcom joined these and for awhile was able to forget his trouble amid the exciting scenes of Mexican rev olution but ere long France with drew her aid and Maximilian be- ing left alone, his forces were over powered and he himself executed. Thus Maleom was obliged to seek protection in his own country which he had hoped to turn his back on forever.
 He came home and settled down to quiet and peaceful life. For d while 1t seemed as if the wild life and exciting scenes in Mexico had forever banished from his mind the thought of his false low CT but as time rolled on he became Respondent and would have mel ancholy spells which would last for days at a time. Thus he pass ed his time, growing from bad to worse, until his mind became un- balanced. He cared nothing for the company of anyone and almost raved at the sight of q lady. Yet amid all his cares and troubles no one ever heard him speak word aga,nst her he so madly loved, but was ever heard repeating these sentences "If she had but wait ed, " or If 1 had not gone all would have been we'll One day he suddenly left the community and for quite while no one knew as to his whereabouts. No longer caring for civilization, he had gone far within the jungles of Dark Corner and, having built a rude hut of logs, had taken up the life of d hermit.
 He lived chiefly by fishing and hunting, occasionally going to the boat landings to barter game for the other neeessaries of life. Thus he lived for years, no one, except now and then party of camp hunters, ever visited his cabin. For several summers prior to rSo6, the writer with several other friends and school-mates had gone on camp-hunt to this place. We had visited the cabin of the strange old man, as he was known to Us, and were no longer haunted by that fear that usually comes over one Il the presence of a strange person in q strange place. At the time mentioned, we found him lying upon his bunk in the corner of the room, dangerous ly i'll. Thus racked with pain, in great agony he would roll from side to side of his couch and in his delirums he would walk with her he loved so well in the long ago, cheer on his comrades in battle against the Yankees, or shout yells of triumph as he led the charge against some Mexican fortress. As the evening sped away clouds began to gather in the western sky, and as it grew dark the vivid ightnings" pierced the darkness with its fiery darts" ''the deep-toned thunder rolled along the vaulted sky" and the rain and hail beat upon the roof

Possi- blv we may not have gauged Mir. Little's ambition properly :; possibly he may have the desire to go to congress, sir; mayhap he has looked toward Little Rock, and with many head shakings. and sighings, has ac- knowledged to himself that he knew man who if given the op- portunity would make Arkansas a chief executive without flaw and upon whom no dipterous in- sect would ever take refuge. Not knowing, we say, the length of the Little whiskers, we may not be expected to accurately set forth the limit of the Little am bition. But, and when we say but we mean not to retreat from any position herein taken,-as the reader will see when we have finished this paragraph, it may be set down, as indeed we said
 
 before. that Little has acquired the physical ability required in campaign for "equal rights, and has already picked out the coigne of vantage from which he may serve the people to the best advantage. Little assures Us that he has "at all times, and on every occasion, held that the cause of humanity is far greater than any political organization" :" and being possessed of such strong convictions, and having asserted them upom so many occasions, and in so many places, 1t follows, as the night follows the day, or the hungry Afro American follows the plump val ler-legsed bullet, that Little has plans of his own for the amelior- ation ofthe hard conditions that environ the human family.
