Approve of Law Enforcement.

At a mass meeting of negro citi-
zens of Pine Bluff, the following
resolutions commendatory of the
law officers and citizens of Jefferson
county were adopted:
"Whereas, This community was
recently shocked by the receipt of re-
liable information that crime OF
peculiarly atrocious character had
been perpetrated upon the person OF
a white female by negro degener-
ate; and,
Whereas, A lynching, the usual
sequel of such an occurrence, has
been prevented by the prompt and
decisive action of the legal authorl-
ties and the concurrence of sentI-
ment on the part of the best citizens
Of this city and county. Therefore
we, the colored citizens of the city
of Pine Bluff, county of Jefferson,
deem it appropriate that we should
express our sentiments II reference
to the matter. Be it
Resolved, That we tender to his
honor, Judge Grace, to Sheriff Gould
and other legal authorities and to
the good citizens Of Jefferson county

"Whereas, It is very common
opinion that colored men Of al
classes sympathize with the crimi-
nails in such cases, and will do al
in their power to shield them from
the Just consequences Of their un-
lawful and inhman actions, We DO
hereby aver that such is not the
case, and further assert that such
sympathy is not felt when lawful
steps have been taken to identify the
party accused and he has been fairly
tried by a court Of competent jarls-

A young man in New York. so the story
goes, lost an ear by accident and en-
ployed mechanic, of whatever sort it is
that undertakes to supply missing ears,
to make him one of wax. The new organ
seemed to meet all requirements, and, en-
couraged by the improvement in his looks
the youth went a-wooing. Everything
in the act OF proposing to the object of his
affections that disaster came. Perhaps in
the excitement of his ;mpassioned argu-
ment he waved his arms about and hit
his ear an accidental clip; perhaps he
moved his head about too violently; per-
haps he knelt before the lady and in his
humility bowed his head upon his knee
with the good ear up so that he might catch
her faintest whisper. At all events. right
in the midst of the tender scene the de-
tachable ear fell off his head and into her
lap, causing her to scream and flee from
the room. Naturally, the young man was
greatly exasperated. and, as some slight
salve to his feelings. is seeking to recover
damages from the mechanic whose bad
workmanship and careless fitting and an
choring of the ear brought his courtship
to an unhappy end.
Some persons may hold that the young
woman in the case was lacking in tender
feminine sensibility and proper presence
of mind, and that if she had previously in
tended to accept him she would not have
been disconnected or turned from her pur-
pose by her lovers sudden tendency TO phys
zeal disintegration; that. on the contrary,
she would have been filed with sympathy
for him and would have fallen upon his
shoulder-the one farthest from the lost
ear There is IL must be admitted, some
thing in support of this view. Other miss
ing organs do not necessarily prevent ladies
who wooed from being won. Who has

The famous cedar Of Lebanon which has
guarded the southern entrance of the old Chelsea
physic garden for more than go years. has just
been cut down. In 1888 four Lebanon cedars.
the first ever introduced into this country were
successfully planted in the physic garden. Two
of these trees. after fourishing for nearly CEN
fury were removed. partly on account of their
decayed condition and partly because it was
thought their shade injured the growth of the
plants for which the garden specially in
tended, and the managers of the garden in a
frugal spirit disposed of the timber for f2s ss 3d.
In later times, however, the historic interest at
