TO COLLECT TAXES.

Sheriff Fred Schader, of Little Rock, is going to try new and novel plan to collect the tax on mortgages. Heretofore large per cent of this class of investments have ped paying taxes, but those who fail to come to time this year will find them selves up against an entirely new proposition.
 The sheriff will proceed to garnishee the makers of these mortgages and hold up payment of the notes until the tax is paid. This means that the matter will go to the Supreme Court, as the holders of mortgages will con- test the right of the sheriff to force payment in the above described manner.
 In the meantime large sums of money may be tied up by garnish- ments awaiting the decision of the courts.

CIRCUIT COURT.

The case of Bishop vs. Staples, which consumed the greater part of Thursday and Friday was decided in behalf of the plaintiff, Bishop.

ARKANSAS DIAMONDS.

The Indianapolis, Gnd.) Sentinel says:
 "School Commissioner Charles w. Moore, recently returned from a trip on legal business through Southeast ern Arkansas. He brought back with him several handsome specimens of precious stones which have been found in large numbers in that sec- tion of the state recently. One was a diamond, handsome white stone of rare brilliancy cut to a carat and one- half weight. Another was an uncut ruby possessing the deep red color and clearness characteristic of the purest stones. MT. Moores also secured a diamond in the rough, which he will probably send to Providence, R. l., to be cut.
 "'The Arkansas diamond,' said MT. Moores to a Sentinel reporter last night, lis marked by all the qualities of the South African stone with the single exception that when cut, it's edges are brittle and liable to fracture Otherwise the diamonds, rubies and amethysts found in Arkansas are beautiful and are commanding a ready sale on the market.'"

THE NEGRO ROUSTABOUT.
Best In the World, is the Opinion of
 an Old Steamboat Man.

"The negro roustab out is the great
 est freight handler in the world, :" said an old steamboat man to the New Orleans Times Democrat, "and while
 we have had a great deal of trouble
 lately in dealing with this class of
 men, it is doubtful if any other class
 could take the rather unique position
 which they occupy in the river busi-
 ness of the country. The negro
 seems to be peculiarly well adapted to
 this kind of work. He is a natural
 freight handler. He knows just ex-
 actly how to take hold of a package
 of freight. Whether the pack is
 round or square, long or short, large
 or small, it is all the same with him.
 for he knows exactly how to take
 hold of 1t in order to handle it in the
 easiest way possible and in the quick
 est way possible. With the negro this
 business IS natural sort of gift I
 have been impressed particularly
 with the swinging walk of the negro roustabout. l have observed that they do not raise their feet more than slight fraction of an inch above the level of the ground or the stage plank. They barely clear the ground with their feet. The reason of this is easily understood. It requires less physical eXertion to raise the foot slightly than it would require if the foot was raised as high as it is by the average person under ordinary circumstances.
 We know this because of the differ ence we have noticed in the extra eXertlon necessary in climbing stairs of different make. The deep step, for instance, is more trying than the shallow step. The chances are that the negro roustabout goes about this thing in an unconscious sort of way, and he would probably be puzzled if you should mention the fact to him. 1t is what Darwin would call case of unconscious selection. It is the fittest thing to do, but like many other of nature's creatures they do it without being conscious of it. The long, swinging step of the roustabout an- sWers the same purpose. It minimizes the physical exertion, and enables the performer to do more than he would be able to do under other circum- stances. No other race of men, in my judgment, would be able to do this same kind of work with equal facility, and this is why say the neg1o roust- about is the greatest freight handler in the world, and really he is the only member l know of who is not in any danger of losing bis job."

cumbers that were of a uniformly perfect shape and deep green in col or and seemed about perfect until another grower thought there were too many protuberances-wa the growers call them-on these latest ones, so he went to work and grew them so there were very few warts on them, and the spines or ribs were all even and regular distances apart. Another cucumber man thought tLev were mighty fine on the outside, but ought to have fewer seeds, and so he grew them with fewer seeds. It seemed that nothing more could be done when an enterprising 'EJap'' probably disliking to see the cucum- bers soiled by lying on the ground, placed before the world a climino variety that grows on poles and which like the Frenchman's strawberries, bears continually until killed by frost.
 The struggle for supremacy in the various lines continued, and slowly, like the tortoise, the humble onion pressed forward for recognition. Spain produced a large onion that was fine grained, of mild flavor and almost white. The native onion grow CTS thought it was fine and that they could turn out something just as good If not better. They tried and suc- ceeded, and during the proper season the fine, big white onions on sale in the fancy fruit stores, which the deal CTS call Spanish onions, are the re- suit of that effort. They are Spanish onions only to the uninitiated buyer, for they have been no nearer Spain than Long Island or New Jersey, where they are grown.
 Despite the fact that these onions are often fifteen inches around, and | grow so freely that close to two thousand bushels of them have been taken from a single acre, they are so mild and tender that anyone can eat them without ill effect. Physicians regard them with much favor because they induce a natural sleep, and pa tients who could by no means eat the ordinary strong onion can partake of them freely. As it is, the home grown product today excels all the onions brought from abroad, not excepting the far famed onions of Bermuda.
 What has been told here simply furnishes an idea of the great progress made in this humble line of industry. Every vegetable on the market has been improved so greatly that the would make a great fuss were they compelled to go back to what they thought was so fine ten years ago. It is clear that the 'brother of the OK" is doing his part, even if he does it quietly York Mail and Express

PEOUOT AND KING PHILIP.
INSIGNIA OF NEW ORDER. BEARING THEIR
NAME. WORN ON SHIRT FRONTS.

A new American patriotic society has been estab-
Iished 1.-THE Order of Pequot and King Philip
Besides in name. the orde" differs from the
Colonial wars societies and others of like nature in
one extremely important particular-its insignia
will repose upon the civilized shirt fronts or IT'S
wearers suspended by belt OF wampum HOW
eyer In spite OF the name the members con-
freres are not alone be selected from the de-
scendants OF King Philip and his braves and the
Peouots They are TO be chosen, so the founders
saw from 1.-The most worthy descendants of the
men of faith and iron who in warfare, not alone
with the aborigines of New-England, but with the
elements, stood sponsor at the fierce birth OF this
nation"
1t will thus be seen that this new order is more
inclusive than those of the descendants or the
Colonial Wars. A story is still told in the Berk-
shires OF an early settler who went forth bare
headed at the approach OF great storm to gather
in his cattle and the lightning singled out him ana
one of his cows as its victims. The spot where
they fell is still pointed out The other cows
reached the barn in safety. There seems to be no
reason why the descendants Of this man are not
admissible
For the benefit OF the curious the following de-
scrpton of the insignia OF the new order Is given
II Will be found uncommonly free from dialect:
Raw Psalm book in crossed in dexter bend by
a matchbox rurpure. and resting upon the trunk
q gP 5ss the sr whsle Sy
