MIDWAY TIM ES.

EDITOR FORREST CITY TINES:
 First, my compliments to you for the regularity of your very welcome paper in our neck of the woods.
 I hardly know how to locate this place. It is just between two great business points, te-wit, Colt Station and New Castle or Horton vile. Both places are doing a very fair business.
 The crops between those points are, to this time, looking very well, though small. We have had two nice showers of rain in the last ten avs that makes everything look lively.
 A word to the poor old rebs who are lame, halt and blind, or from old age cannot do any manner of labor, are worth but little. Very soon the roll will be called for you to fall in line, answer to your names and draw your rations. 1 know you have heard that call time and again, and oh, how glad you would be, nearly starved and so tired you could hardly raise your feet, but you would answer "Herev You were then out in the defence of your country upon principles that you believed to be right. But, alas, when the call was made at an opportune time, you made sacri. fee of all you owned, bade fare. we'll to dear ones at home and of. fered your life upon the altar of your country, to which you felt that you owed allegiance. Then Ii was said, oh, you are brave men, your heart is full of patriotism and valor. You faced the mimic balls, the grape and canister, but you were lucky enough to get back home. You found your homes had been plundered; lone chimneys standing. But you are like the camel when he gets hlS l0ad-he kneels on the ground.
 Now, brethren, you can console yourselves by knowing you never asked help from the state or any other government. The qualitica' tions required of the applicant l think are all right, but the allow ance IS a shame. Arkansas is a great state with it's millions. Very few old Confederates remain, and they are hero only for a short time. But, brethren. be thankful for small favors and large ones in proportion. If the class enumer. ated in the law could be marshaled in line and each member of that august body could see them, the appropriation would be different Now, brethren, hitherto God has been good to us. Let us be read y to answer the last roll call and tc receive the white stone with new name written that no man will be able 10 read except those who re ceiye if.

 LOST ON THE PRAIRIE.
 Some years since party of surveyors had just finished their days work in the northwestern part of Illinois when vio- lent snow.storm came on. They started for their camp.
 The wind was blowing very hard, and the snow drifting SO as to nearly blind them. When they thought they had nearly reached their camp, they all al once came upon tracks in the snow. These they looked at with care and found, to their dismsy, that they were their own tracks.
 1t was now plain that they were lost on the great prairie. and that if they had tc pass the night there in the cold and the snow, the chance was that not one of them would be alive in the morning. While they were all shivering with fear and cold, the chief surveyor caught sight of one of their horses, a gray pony known as "Oid Jack" and said: "If any one can show us our way ts camp in this blinding snow, Old Jack can do it. will take of his bridle and let him loose, and we will follow him. think he will show us the way to our camp" :. The horse, as soon as he found himself free, threw his head in the air as if proud of the trust. Then he snuffed the breeze and gave loud snort, which seemed to say, "Come on. boys. Follow me; I'll lead you out of this scrape."
 He then turned in new direction ana walked on. and the men followed him .ihey had not gone more than mile when they saw the cheerful blaze of their camp fires. They all gave loud hurrah at the sight.
 They felt grateful to God for their safety, and threw their arms around Old Jacks neck to thank him for what he had done. know this Is true story, for m, father was the chief of the party on the occasion. tAnd we know the parties ant that it is true.--Editor of "Our Duml Animals."l

sympathy For LemIeY.

General sympathy was expire essed on
the part of the members of the court
and those in attendance with Judge Ad-
voCate Lemley because of the death of
his sister, which occurred yesterday.
Captain Lemley was present when the
court convened, but Immediately with

Captain Miller, who commanded the
collier Merrimac, which was sunk by
Lieutenant Hobson, was called for the
purpose of correcting the official record
Of his testimony given yesterday.
Admiral Evans was then recalled.
Mr.. Raynor began his interrogations by
asking the witness concerning the Sc
cret code of signals for communicating
with the Cuban insurgents near Glen.
fuegos. The admiral said that when
Captain Chadwick communicated this
code to him he did not instruct him to give
the information to Commodore SchIey.
Mr.. Raynor then questioned the witness
especially as to his interviews with
Commodore Schley after the battle of
Santiago.

Commodore Schley on July T. some
time during the morning between and
10 o'clock on his flagship at Santiago,
in the course of which you used Ian

reference to the Texas, think Commo-
