Or heard of Solid Cuevee Silver Tableware? This is the new metal that is rapidly superseding sterling silver for spoons, knives, forks and other tableware. It is exactly the same metal through and through, has no plating to wear off, looks just like sterling silver, is harder and will wear longer. It costs about one-sixth as much. It is not for sale i'll stores, but every lady in this vicinity can obtain a set of these Solid Cuevee Silver Teaspoons, warranted to wear for twenty-five years, without paying cent.

The Republican party has a class i'll Arkansas that holds the federal offices when that party is in power at Washington. These men hold all of the time. They may be changed around a little occa- sionally, but the same fellows hold the offices. Those who meet in Little Rock and distribute the pie are the fellows who get the pie. Doc. Matthews, editor of the State Republican, thought maybe he could get some land office pie, but that had been sliced for a neg1 o and Doc. got nothing.

Domestic Attachment.

A romantic instance of domestic at tachment is reported from Illinois. Hearing that her son was lying in a southern regimental hospital, min ister's wife travelled 300 miles and en- listed as nurse in the army, in order to be near him. The minister there upon applied for chaplaincy of the regiment, which has been given to him. and the family are now happily united under the most remarkable of circumstances.

The house of representatives has probably done the right thing in killing the Hudson bank bill. This bill was passed by the senate and referred the matter to the su- preme court for adjudication. The bonds in question are undoubtedly fraudulent and there is no further use of dickering. Of course the attorneys for the Hudson bank want to earn their fees and prolong the agony, but the bill-killer did right.

HER TANGLED HAIR.
How Lewis Carroll Remedied That o1
 One Little Girl.

My hair was a great trouble to me as child, for it would tangle, and Mary was not over and above patient as 1 twisted and turned when she wished to dress it. So one day re- ceived long, blue envelope addressed to myself (letters are always so de- lightful to children-they raise them almost to the ranks of the grown ups'') and there was a story let ter, all full of drawings, from MT. Dodgson. The first picture was of a little girl-hat off and tumbled hair very much en evi- dence-asleep on rustic bench un- der big tree by the side of river Supposed to be the dear old seat in the botanical gardens), and two birds holding an evidently most important conversation above in the branches, their heads on one side, eying the sleeping girl. The next picture, the two birds flying with twigs and straws, preparing to build a nest; the child still sleeping and the birds chirping and twittering with the delight of building their nest in the tangled hair of the child. Next came the awaken ing. The work complete, the mother bird on her nest, the father-bird fly ing round the frightened child. And then, lastly, hundreds of birds-the air thick with them; the child fleeing; small boys with tin trumpets raised to their lips, and Nurse Mary, with a basket of brushes and combs, bringing up the rear. All this, with the we'll drawn-out story, cured me of this fault, and Mary, in after life, told me she "had no more trouble; just to open the letter and show the unhappy child in the picture, and l was as passive as a lamb.'" Sometimes father would say, batting my head: Any more nests to-day, Ducky? Birds would not have a chance now with this smooth little head." Edith Alice Maitland. in The Culver,

FRAUD IN EXAMINATION.

Dublin Courier Dispatch: 1t has been
discovered that fraud was used in the
examination of the colored teachers of
the county at the regular examination
in June last. Recently, County School
Commissioner Jas. T. Smith graded the
papers, and found that there was too
much similarity in the papers for all
of them 70 be genuine. Some of those
who stood the examination received
practically the same grading. In some
of the papers those questions which
were answered correctly in nearly all,
and when the answers were wrong in
some they were wrong in all. In arith-
metic especially was there a great sim
ilarity in the answers. In this study
the negroes ste I'd much better exam
nations than the white teachers, max
ing an average of over 80 per cent. In
addition to the fact that the papers
themselves bear marks of fraud, the
county board has ample proof to show
that fraud was used. 1t has therefore
been ordered by the board that all of
the negroes who stood the examination
in this county in June shall stand an
other examination on the 21st inst
Those who do not comply with this
order will be debarred from the schools
of the county. Just how the negroes re-
ceived help is a mystery. In a few
days after the blanks had been sent
out from the Office of the State School
Commissioner. it was announced that
some of the papers had been lost. 1t is
possible that some enterprising person
purloined set of the papers and fur
nished copies to all of the negro teach
-ers of the state at so much per copy
1t is not charged that all of the negroes
who stood the examination in June
cheated in that examination. but that
the larger number of them did is true
beyond question.
