Meeting of Immigration Agents.

An important meeting of the i'm. agents of the Gould sys- tenn was held in St. Louis last week, the object of the meeting being to formulate plans to settle with in dustrious farmers and horticultur- ists the lands owned by this compa- ny along its lines in Arkansas and other states. The agents made a tour of the lines in this state and were given a grand reception by cit izens of Little Rock and at other points. The Iron Mountain system has been consistently adverting Ar kansas abroad for many years, and a good portion of the success made within the last ten years in the lines of horticulture and raising produce for foreign markets has been due to valuable assistance given by the Iron Mountain system.

To Prevent Sale of Poisonous Drugs.

Attorney General Murphy calls attention to an act of the last gen. eral assembly, the intent of which is to stop the spread of the destruc- tive habit of using cocaine among negroes and the lower class of whites. The use of this drug was almost unknown a few years ago, except in legitimate way by drug gists and physicians, but it is said its victims are now numbered by the thousands. Its effects are as baneful as opium or morphine, and soon wrecks the unfortunate who becomes addicted to its use, both physically and mentally. Col. Mur- phy holds that under the law a phy- sician has no right to give a stand ing order for the sale of cocaine whenever the party to whom the or der is given wishes it, nor has any druggist any right to repeat such order or to fill it more than once. The object of the law is to prevent those who are addicted to the drug, or any one else, from obtaining it except when it is really needed. In order that its sale may be justified it is necessary that the prescription be given on the physicians estimate of the need of the patient at the time he prescribes. Whoever fills such an order or prescription for the same person more than once contravenes the spirit of the law and renders himself subject to pun ishment. Members of the State Pharmacists Association propose to use their efforts to stop the sale of the deadly drug.

Treasurer Tipton complimented.

H. T. Hampton, appointed by Governor Davis, under the act of March 13, 1891, to examine and re- port on the condition of the books and funds of State Treasurer Tip ton, has finished his work and has made his report to the governor. He found $3.51 in excess of the amount given in the currency state ment, and concerning which he says: T attribute the small excess in this fund to the inability to make exact change in the numerous transactions at the cashiers win dow" Concerning an excess of $41.93 in the county scrip account, Mir. Hampton says: "The excess in this fund is probably caused by the overpayment of cheap county scrips by parties purchasing state lands. Were it in my province to make sug- gestiora I should recommend that this account in the state treasury be permanently closed and the county's part of the purchase or re- demption of lands be paid directly to the county treasurer and his re- ceipt used as voucher in the trans actions" There was an excess of $1.37 in the amount of scrip due cities. All the other funds agree to cent. MT. Hampton compliments Treasurer Tipton on the efficiency of his clerical force and the thor ough system in which the accounts of the various funds are kept.

LEGENDS OF ANCIENT BELLS.
Strange Tales of Bells That Ring of
 Their Own Accord.

While nothing in the world is more narrowing and nerve-jarring than a discordant bell, nothing is more con- duciye to delightful sensations than a harmonious one. Sadly lacking IS the neighborhood that has not sweet-tongued bell to call it to church, and to voice its mournings and rejoicings.
 Much also depends on the bell ringer To really waken the soul of the bell or bells he should have soul tuned to theirs, soul both solemn and glad, imbued with peace and har- mony, with truth and mysticism, with legend and superstition, says the Philadelphia Press.
 Let those who may seoff at the idea of bell having soul (an oracu- lar soul sometimes), says the Phila- delphia Press, listen to the following story of a bell associated with the earliest church built at Whitnash, England Ca mile from Leamington): When the first bell reached the church it was carried lovingly to holy well in the vicinity that it might be dedi- cated by immersion therein to the service of God
 Suddenly those who bore it were dismayed to see it glide from their hold and with gurgling sound sink into the well, from whose depths they were unable to recover it. It became known after awhile, however, that any one who went to the well at nightfall to seek counsel or informa- ton received it in the morning by the tongue of the sunken bell.
 Bottreaux, in Cornwall, has sim- liar tradition. Of the bells of Bosh- am (the antique Sussex village which was the scene of King Canute's little interview with the tide) a strange tale is also told. The bells, it is related, were carried away by the Danes; but the latter were otertaken by retribu- tion for this sacrilege. Before they were halfway down the creek fu- rious storm arose and their ship sank under the weight of the bells. The bells still rest beneath the waters, it is said, and on great festival days one may hear their voices chiming in uni son~with those of their Protestant successors in the church tower. Like tales exist in regard to several ancient Norman churches.
 The largest bell in England is "Great Paul, in St. PauPs Cathedral, weighing above 16 tons. The towers on each side of the facade are 222 feet high; the north tower contains 12 bells, hung in 1878, while "Great Paul" occupies the south tower.

HE WAS TOO LATE.
The Man Who Was Mad and Wanted
 to Get Madder.

q want to ask great favor of you," he said 10 the man behind the bar of Grand avenue saloon as he tiptoed in.
 "Well" was queried.
 q want to lick man. I want to give him the all-fredest mauling a man ever got"
 q have no objections"
 "But the case is this way, you see. l want drink to brace me up to the fighting point, and I haven't got cent with me. One drink and I'll go out and find that fellow and pulyerize him."
 FYou are too late," said the bar tender, as he rinsed the glass used by the last customer.
 "How too late? Iknow where that red-headed man is, and after Eve had a drink"
 "Too late, l tell you. That red headed man was in here ten minutes ago and said he wanted to lick one- eyed man, and he begged so hard that l trusted him for glass of whisky to get his mad up. You are the one eyed man, and the red headed man is looking for you and won't leave a grease spot if he finds you. The whisky has worked him up by this time, and if you know what's good for you you will"
 But it is no use to say more, says the Detroit Free Press. The one- eyed man had departed for other fields.
