VoTARIEs OF FAsHIoE.-At q fash
ionabls watering place the devotees OF
dress are hard worked people. They
have been laboring industriously for
months TO get up their wardrobes. They
are squeezed into dresses which fit as
though they had been melted and poured
around their forms. At halfpas ten
these models appear at breakfast clad in
white, with while kid slippers, which are
as tight as the dress, and long white
gloves which squeeze the hands and arms.
The wsarers are so uncomfortable that
they don't remain down stairs long, but
retire in one or two hours TO their rooms,
undress and breathe. They get into an
other kind of harness for dinner, then re-
tire again in order 10 draw full breath,
and reappear in the evening with more
stunning toilet than the ono worn al
breakfast or dinner.

BeRAx water will instantly remove all
soils and stains from the hands, and all
scratches and chafes. To make il, put
some crude borax into large bottle, and
fill with water. When the borax is dis
solved, add more 10 the water, until at
last the water can absorb no more and
residuum remains at the bottom of the
bottle. To the water in which the hands
are to be washed, after gardening, pour
from this bottle enough to make it very
soft. BY its use the hands will be kept
in excellent condition-smooth, soft and

In the criminal practice Of Arkansas
the subterfuge often resorted to by
culprits in making false afidavits to
gain continuances of their cases no
longer prevails. Under an act of the
last legislature the council for the
State, by merely admitting that the
witnesses mentioned in the affidavit
for continuance, if present, would
swear what the afiant states, he
would may force the accused to
trial. This practice has had the
effect of clearing the criminal docket
in many counties ofnumerous chronic
cases, which have been continued
from time to time, merely to wear out
the interest therein or gain an acquit-
tai by the criminal or death of Wit
nesses. This new feature is greatly
commended by bench and bar alike,
and is measure Of reform universally
popular. If the measure were to be
adopted in this state itwould doubt
less prove equally beneficial to the
course of justice.

Our yellow fever commission has
produced at least one good effect so
far.


They have set the people all over the
country to studying out the causes of
disease, and the press lectures physi-
clans, town councils in both north and
south are now talking of drainage,
water supplies, etc.


One of the most important subjects
to us is our water supply. An analysis
of the human form shows that the l54
lbs. which the model man is supposed
to weigh, is composed of 3S pounds of
dry matter and l16 pounds of water.
To furnish and sustain the proportions
DR.. Parks estimates that an adult
requires daily from 20 to 100 ounces of
water for nutrition, of which from 20
to 30 ounces are contained in the solid
food. Now, if -fourths of our
very bodies is composed of water, is it
not Of vital Importance to critically
examine this life-sustaining element
and its relation to our ills as we'll as
benefits.


Wolf river water, by analysis, is
shown to be impure except at low
water, and the question now presents
itself to the people of Memphis, how
are we to obtain pure water. Stored
rain or cistern water can be readily
purified and kept so by oxygena-
ton, which is accomplished by forcing
air through it. By raising water to a
height and allowing it to fall back
through the air in a spray, it
becomes purified and by causing large
volumes Of air to circulate through che
water, the same result is obtained
For purifying water by agitation and
forcing air into it, the Purifying Pump
is the grandest achievement of the age

It is impossible at this writing to tell how
the elections of yesterday have resulted.
But whether the Democrats or Republicans
have won the day will make little difference
in the long run, and may exercise little in
fuence upon the Presidential election, not
withstanding the Importance attached to
them in ante-election discussions. There
are certain principles that survive parties as
they survive partisan defeats. They are i'm
mutable-permanent as the hills, and though
the party that sustains and defends them
may for time be crushed to earth, those
principles will live and make their power
felt in tho future.


The Democratic party is fortunate in be-
ing the exponent of few ideas that must
continue to be paramount in the politics of
this republic as long as it shall last. It was
for eighty years the governing power
of the people. It's sway was the
sway of the people. It
never lost sight of the fact that the people
are the government, and that the peoples
will must be obeyed. It has ever defended
the right Of every citizen to cast his vote as
he may see fit, without Interference from
any superior power. OF late years, since the
growth of monarchial ideas, it has espoused
the cause of the masses against the m ilitarv.
and has vigorously combated the idea that
troops are necessary or have any business at


he polls, either as guard of safety or as
force of intimidation. The attempt of the
Republican party to subvert our system of
government by employing the agencies of
despots at elections has met the most
sturdy opposition from the Democratic
party, and though that opposition has not
met with the success it has deserved, it has
no doubt acted as check upon the machina-
tions of the enemies of Republican govern
rnent and prevented an extreme of zevolu-

The Republican party has essayed the OBJ
liberation of all State lines by claiming for
the central government supreme authority
in matters that concerned the States alone.
The Democratic party has resisted this en-
croachment as destructive of true democ-
racy. 1t has placed itself upon the broad
platform of the constitution, which reserves
to the States all powers not especially dele
gated to the general government, preserv-
ing, intact, the theory of a government with
in government, each exercising checks and
counterchecks upon the other, the people
meanwhile being the source of the power of
each. To surrender the doctrine of State
rights would be to surrender the power that
the people possess over their rulers, and leave
an opening for the overturning of the re-
public. 1t is needless to say that the Demo
cratic party will maintain the same position
on this question in the future as it has in
the past, for this principle is considered as
the chief corner stone of the structure of
the republic.


Whatever the result of yesterdays elec-
ton may turn out to have been, the Demo-
cratic party will keep on in tho even tenor of
its way, without shadow of turning. It is
conscious of the integrity of its purposes,
conscious that the principles it upholds are
necessary to tho perpetuity of the govern
ment in its original form. If it has met
with reverse, it will but be stimulated to
fresh exertions on behalf of free govern
ment next year. tis sure that it is right,
and it will move forward to victory or de-
feat with equal imperturbability, conscious
that it's principles must ultimately secure
the approval of the American people.

wives, when you have had an unusually
trying day, one in which ''everything has
gone wrong," as is often the case, don't,
the minute your husband opens the door,
begin to pour out your grievances in such
a torrent that he will wish ne hao gone

want rest, quiet. comfort and pleasure
when they come home. They should also
be willing to sympathize with their wives
in their domestic troubles and tribula-

will not do it voluntarily, he can never
be made to do 1t by fretting and hagging

Away by the shore of the ocean blue
In peacefulness known to the lonely few,
The wife and child of sailor true


Lived and toiled together.
Full many weird and pleasing tale
Was told the boy, of sea and sail,
OF floating berg and northern gale,


Ofclear and cloudy weather.
Adown the west the king of day
Was fastening through the gates away,
In all his golden bright array,


When home returned the skipper.
At evening, strolling on the sand,
He told the boy Of many land,
And slowly traced with his braWny hand


The cross and the starry dipper,
Twas midnight, aud, unfit for rest,
The boy stole softly from his nest
TO watch the moon in clouds of the west


Play hide and seek with the water,
To laugh at the wind in its wild, wild race,
And again the stars of the heaven to trace:
But he thought that the dipper was out o.


place,


And vailed Andromeda's daughter.
The sea was mad, for the wind was high,
The huge black clouds would soon 20 by,
But down fell torrents of rain from the sky


And woke the sleeping skipper.
And suddenly long and loud laughed he,
When the voice of his child broke forth in


glee,
ooh, father the king of the northern sea


Has upset his starry dipper."

How A FAITHLEss BUFFALO LOVER DROVE
HIS SWEETHEART TO SUICIDE.-A special dis

lived here, committed suicide last night by
hanging herself to a beam In the WOOdShod
connected with her house. The fact was not
discovered until early this morning when her
mother went into the shed to get some kind
ling WOOD She Was-naturally enough to be
body OF her daughter suspended from the beam
The police on learning Of the suicide notified
Coroner Almendlnger, who went at once to
the Carm1cheys' house. It was found that
the rope by which the unfortunate girl had
hanged herself was made OF SlfDS of
BED ticking, and the coroner therefore
wisely concluded that the act was deliberate,
and he determined that death undoubtedly
resulted from strangulation, as the neck had
not peen broken. The appearance OF the sur
loundings Indicated that the girl had attached
one END OF the rope to the beam, put the other
around her neck ana jumped OF carpenters
bench on which she had stood. She was twenty
years OF age and perfectly respectable. 1t Is
believed she committed the act while labortng
under temporary insanity induced by dtsap-

and did so many odd things that she alarmed

herself some harm. Monday night she appeared
Quieter and more rational, 80 that they did not
