BILL ARP'S LETTER.
IS STRUCK WITH THE PKKTTV
TOWN OF MARSHALL.
There is no Purer Pleasure in This T-lfe
Than in Adding lo the Little Comforts
in and Aronnd Home "Make Home
Happy," Should be the Motto of Every
Family..
When a town grows to have 8,000
i inhabitants it is just about large
: enough. No town ought to have
i more than 10,000. If the influence
' of great cities is pestilential to good
morals, as Jefferson said, then how
j large can a city safely be before the
pestilence begins. It seems to me
jthat 8,000 is about right, for that
! number ensures good schools and
! perhaps 2 college or tv . It ensurv
good churches of at least four de
i nominations with good preachers who
are tairly well tpaid churches that
living do not languish and preachers
whose families are not pinched with
poverty1; Church assemblies are in
vited there once or twice a year and
their ministers and laymen mix and
mingle with the people in their homes
aud leave the influence of their good
example as a benediction upon the
community. For those who like
secular pleasures it secures good halls
and opera houses, good shows and
troupes and concerts, good orators
and lectures. It secures good streets
and sidewalks, and water-works and
gas-works, and ice lactones and other :
f V. , '
luxuries that a prosperous people can

(good market, good butchers and
Daicers, a launary ana, last Dut nor
least, a daily newspaper.
I was ruminating, about this be
cause I am here in Marshall, which
haslhat many people, and isjust such
a place. It is big enough and every
body seems to be content. They
don't want to strain the town with a
boom, for they say it grows fast
enough from the natural increase and
they don't want property to go up so
high that they can't pay taxes on it. It
is the outspread inest town for its size
I ever saw, for most every ianr.ly ot
my pretentions nas got an acre or
two enclosed and a grove of shade
trees somewhere. Many of them
have from two to five acres and
flowers abound everywhere. The
mechanics and the unpretending peo
ple generally own - their-Residences
where the good wife and daughters
can plant their vines and shrubbery
and hang a few pictures on the waiis
and re-paper the room and .fix up the
kitchen without feeling that they will
have to move when Christmas comes.
If I was a king and a Croesus, my
highest ambition would be to see to it
that every family however humble
should have a home, a home that
they could beautify and adorn and
love, a home that the children would
love to think about when they grew
up to manhood or. womanhood and
become transplanted to some other
less hallowed spot. There is no
purer pleasure in this life than in
adding to the little comforts in and ;
around home. It is far better to make i
time as the purse will admit tf
than to buy them already mace. It J
is better for the children to make them j
if they can, and let their own handi-j
work embellish and adorn the house j
and the front yard. I thought of
this the other day when our girls
called me up stairs to show me their j
day's work.
They had bought a beautiful paper-!
ing lor 90 cents ana nau maue tne
paste and put on their room and the
entire cost, including the bordering,
was only $1.30, and they bought a
little can of paint for half a dollar and
recoasted the mantel and the doors
and window casings and everything
looked so new and clean. Most any-
- 111 l.l
body can do these things it they win 1
;, Jfi .,i i

should be the motto of every family.

and bless it yourself. At Marshall
man told me that there was but one
rich man within her limits and not j
half a dozen poor ones. No beggars 1
for charity and nobody utterly poor. '
Old Agnes prayer has been answered
to this people. A magnificent court
house is the only extravagant thing I
saw, but that is Texas. If they didn't i
have that, Marshall wOuld be just
over the line in Louisiana. The rail
road shops add a good deal to the
prosperity of this place. They are
very extensive and employ several :
-
hundred hands and pay out not less
than $5,000 a week for labor, and all
this is expended and circulated in the
community and keeps things lively.
Without them the town would
languish and soon go into a state of
innocuous desuetude, or words to
that effect. 1 never did know what
Mr. Cleveland meant by that, it must ;
be something mighty bad. I hope it .;
won t eaten mm in November.
Considering the great benefit ofj
these shops to the prosperity of ;
Marshall, I supposed that almost
every citizen would be for Clark for
governor, but they are not. They
don't want Hogg, but they say he
was fairly nonminated : nd they will
vote for him, and they say that he
will be more friendly to railroads and
to capital than he has been. But I
shall take no part m the contest. Mr
Cleveland and I
have concluded to
keep our hands
off of this factional '.
1 quarrel.
Last evening I Saw the cows
milked.- Mr. Lathop, whose guest I
am, has a small herd of seventeen
beautiful Jerseys, besides the calves.
They are said to be the finest in the
state and no finer in the south. It
was a novelty and a revelation to me.
There they were in a row. Every
one in her stall haltered to her feed
trough and looking calm and serene
and seemed to be happy to have
their swollen udders emptied. Some
of them gave two gallons and some
less, but I learned that the quantity
of milk is no longer a test. We used
to speak of a three-gallon cow or a
four-gallon cow, but now the butter
record is all that is mentioned. The j
standard is fourteen pounds a week. !
There only are 3,000 Jersey's in the I
United States who come up to that
record. Of course, there are many
who have broken the record, as they
say about Nancy Hancks. There are
many c us who make twentv five
pouiivlb .. fek and a lew who have
gone to thirty. Such cows are al
most priceless and their calves bring
from five hundred to five thousand
dollars before they are a year old. j
Mr. Latfrroo knows the pedieree of
everv one of his cows as far back as
he does his own.
They are all registered in the books
and "his books are well bound and
make quite a library, for there are
65,000 Jerseys registered in them.
He is a director in the national asso
ciation and is desperately in love
with his business. He sells 150
pounds a week of golden butter, and
realizes 7 1 2 cents a pound for it.

on in a back lot, and I know that
kind of pork must be good and sweet
and healthly.
One of the heifers dropped a beau

to be a boy and the poor little unfor

head, for he says it does not pay to
raise boy calves. Fortunately, the

.Notes and Comments on- Politics.
The Republican disaster is not
confined to the loss of the Presidency.
1 he long continued ascendency of
that party in the United States Sen
ate has been broken at last. It has
lost Senators in New York, Connec
ticut, Michigan, Minnesota, Kansas,
Nebraska and Wyoming. The next
house of representatives is over

4th 01 next .M uch the Republicans
wiil find themselves for the first time
in thirty years out of power in ail
branches of the executive and legisla
tive departments of the government.

lection is doomed. The advocates of
honest principles and pure politics

"Is it true that President Harrison
talks of taking his residence in Bos
ton ?" said a reporter to J. R, McKee,
the presidents son-in-law.
"It is too early to reply definitely, '
said Mr. McKee, "but if the Presi-
dent leaves Washington, and Mrs.
McKee can prevail, he may come.
He was up a short time ago at least,
firmly determed to return to Indian
apolis, at the close of his official career,
where almost his whole life has been
passed. With a man of his age,
however, it is greatly a matter of as
sociations, and it would be hard for
him to leave Indianapolis, for which
he has always had a great liking,
and go to another place, where the as-
soctatuai would be new, and entirely
different from those in the old home."

Chicago Times, dernpet : After j

vass in tne recent history 01 the
re
public 13,000,000 electors have spok

shall be corrected and that the sturdy
champion of tariff reform the popular
leader who spoke in the interest of
a frugal government and the reduction
of unnecessary taxation shall again be
called to the chief magistracy.
A correspondent brings forward
the name of Gov. Tom Holt for a
place in the cabinet. North Carolina
has several sons who would h'l with
honor a cabinet position, and among
the number is Gov. Holt, who by his
admirable business training and clear
ness of judgment is peculiarly fitted
to manage the details of a great de
partment. It is not often that one
finds these practical qualifications
joined with high political claims to
party honors, as in the case of Gov.
Holt, and his selection for such an
important post would be greatly ap
preciated by all the true Democrats
of North Carolina. News and Ob

Thome, the Gideonite, who sallied
out in the Second District, met up
WIt a I-)emocrafic Sampson, who
'Took up a stone no bigirer than a but
ton.
And killed him deader than any mut
ton." Mr. Cleveland was nominated at
Chicago without the vote of New
York, and he was elected President
without the vote of New York. He
could give Harrison the thirty-six
electoral votes of New York and then
have a majority in the electoral col
lege. There was a lively time on Broad
way in New York on the day after
the election, when the Democratic
club of the dry goods men marched
down to the headquarters of the Re
publican dry goods club, filled with
all sorts of enthusiasm, and,-forcing
their way in, took possession, sing
ing: Tak off your hats,
You awful rats,
And show your respect for the Demo
crats. The New York Herald sent out a tel
egram at the close of the election that
John Sullivan and Harrison went into
tne ruiy once too many.
Chairman Carter attributes Repub
lican defeat to "a reaction against
the progressive policies of the Re
publican party." That is good.
No : the people do not want such
"progressive policies" as the Mc-
Kinley tariff law and force bill, Mr.
Carter, and they have said so in un
mistakable terms.
It costs money to conduct a Re
publican campaign. Four years ago
in Indiana six men were kept under
guard all night marched to the polls
in the morning and paid $16 apiece
And that was only a sample piece of
work !
The Greensboro Record says that
the Republicans in that town gave a
lot of money to a "worker" Saturday
evening to be used in his townships
on election day. He proceeded to a
bar room and got "too full for utter
ance." While in this condition a
negro stole the money.

THE SPREAD OF MURDER.
The United States Declared the Most
Criminal of AU Christian Countries.
"The murder problem in the United
States," as presented by Andrew D.
White, United States minister to Russia,
made a profound impression at Chau
tauqua. "Simply as a matter of fact," he be
gan, "I will say that the United States
is today, among all the Christian coun
tries of the world, that in which the
highest crimes are most frequent and
least punished. Another fact is that the
number of deaths by murder more than
double the average in the most criminal
country of Europe, and ifl Wyjreasing
rapidly. Even Italy and Corsica fail
far below us. In 1890 there were 4,000
murders in this country. In 1891 the
nunJx?r was 6,000, and of the men who,
rr.,fetted these murders the greater
number is still at large. Statistics show
that only one murderer in fifty ever re
ceives capital punishment.
"One of the causes of this condition of
things is the pseudo philanthropy and
, sentimental sympathy for the poor crim
inal. The elementary principles of com
mon sense seem quite forgotten in mod
ern trials. Jurors refuse to act upon
the evidence, so that what was instituted
in the Fourteenth century as a protection
i for honest men becomes in this a pro
! tection for the criminal. In the words
I of one of our most famous judges, the
: jury box has become a nursery for crime,
j "Our people are wont to glorify a
' lawyer who turns loose upon the world
i a murderer in the face of all evidence,
j The careless, culpable and en criminal
j abuse of the pardoning power by the
! governors of our states is in some eates
i an outrage not only of justice but of
' decency. Young men and boys arrested
for their first offense are not kept sepa
rate from the hardened criminals, and
our jails and penitentiaries are thns
made the high schools of crime. The
brutal murders are glorified in headlines
as 'nervy' and 'cool,' regarded as victims
to be pitied, and the punishment is so
long delayed that its deterrent effect is
lost.
"In the face of all this dare any one
presume to condemn the lynching sys
tem? It is the simple outcome of the
fact that out of 7,000 murderers only
one in fifty was executed. So long as
people see this so long must lynching in
crease. Over 7,000 people are doomed
this year to be murderously and cruelly
put to death, with no opportunity for
repentance and no chance to make pro
vision for their families, who will be
brought to sorrow and distress and in
many cases beggary. Two-thirds of
these murders will be due to the maud
lin, slushy sentimentality which is called
mercy, but which is the most utter
cruelty.
"The only real deterrent of crime, Es
pecially murder, is an early trial unde
layed by appeals and legal jugglery and
a just punishment speedily meted out.
This alone will stop the spread of mur
derous cranks." Chautauqua Cor. Phil
adelphia Press.
Something About Self Made Men.
The college of critics was discussing
self made men in the corridors of the
Lindeil, when Judge Robert Livermore,
of Arkansas, mounted the bench. "The
self made man, who is always worship
ing his Creator, must be a gore trial to
the Omnipotent. I don't think that,
were I in his place, with a pocketful of
thunderbolts, I could withhold my
hand. I should certainly let one slip,
and there would be a first class funeral
on the morrow. Yon will observe that
the self made man is always well heeled.
He has taken Iago's advice and put
money in his purse and therefore im
agines that he is a howling success. That
it is possible for a fat bankbook and a
fool to travel in company never occurs
to him.
"That a Digger Indian may own a
gold mine, a poodle wear a pearl neck
lace or a pismire get to be president is
beyond his abbreviated comprehension.
The Almighty did not see fit to fill his
head with wisdom, aud to make some
amends permits him to stuff his breeches
pockets with greenbacks, then exhibit
his polite and elegant gall by strutting
before earth and heaven as a self made
man. I prefer men turned out in the
workshop of the gods." St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
How Votes Are Bought.
How are the voters bought? In many
cases voters who can be bought before
hand are kept in custody for a day or
two before election, then taken to the
polls and voted. In one case, in Indiana,
a man kept a half idiot who was work
ing for him shut up in his cellar for
some days before an election to prevent
the opposing party from capturing and
treating him in the same way. Then
on election morning, with a man on each
side to guard him, he was marched to
the-polls with a prepared ticket in his
hands and voted.
In 1888, in another county of the same
state, six "floaters" were kept under
guard in an up stairs office over night,
the next morning taken down, marched
to the polls under guard, voted, brought
back to the office and ninety-six dollars
paid to their leader sixteen dollars
apiece. How the money was divided
among them only the leader knew. The
owner of the office is an intelligent, hon
est, patriotic, Christian citizen, who de
tests the whole system, but who says
that he cannot sit still and see the enemy
win by such methods. He favors any
law that will stop the custom in both
parties, even though it should be to the
disadvantage of his own. Professor
Jenks in Century.
A Telegram from on High.
Upon the recent death of an eminent
English divine at Cannes the following
bulletin was placed by the family upon
the door of his late residence:
"Mr. S departed this life for heaven
at 11 o'clock a. tn."
Some passing wag, possessed of more
drollery than reverence, placed beneath
the notice a telegraph blank, filled out
in the following manner:
"Heaven, 12 m. Mr. S not yet
arrived. Getting uneasy. Peter." Life.

DRAMATIC TRAINING SCHOOLS.
The Greatest of Stage Artists Have Had
No Need for Them.
Two very forcible arguments against
dramatic training schools will be found
in the cases of Talma and of RacheL
It is almost needless to say that Talma
was not educated at the conserv
atoire, seeing that the establishment in
question was not founded until two years
aft(.r his first appearance on the stage. I
As a matter of fact Talma, who was the j
son of a dentist and practiced his father's !
profession for a short time, seems to have j
sprung fully equipped for evei-y purpose I
in his art, suddenly ami definitely, to j
the very front rank. From the first he
waa determined to reform the absurd
theatric-! costumes which were donned
by the tragedians of his time, and in the '
little part of only fifteen lines of Procu-!
lus, in Voltaire's ' ' Brutus' he won the1
admiration of the spctafdi ? aad excited
the sneering criticism of his comrades
behind the scene.-; by appearing in a '
white toga, classically draped, instead !
of an embroidered coat and continua- !
tions, a powdered periwig and a Roman I
helmet.
The actresses were in particular scan- j
dalized by the innovation. Mile. Con-!

statue, but qaal hied the admission by i
saying that he resembled the effigy of

whether "he had not just got out ot bed i

was earning her livelihood with her sis
ter Sophie by singing ballads in the streets
of Lyons. Mr. Choron, the director of
a seminary of classical music, chanced
to hear the small street singer. He
brought her to Paris and essayed to
train her as a vocalist, but she soon
broke away from sol-faing, went on the
stage aud played all sorts of parts at all
kinds of minor theaters. It was not
until she had become a practiced artist
that she was admitted to the conserva
toire, and went through a course of dec
lamation under M. Samson.
She broke away again from him and
played at small theaters until, in her
eighteenth year, at the recommendation
of her old master, she appeared at the
Comedie Francaise as Camille in "Les
Horaces," to make in a surprising short
space of time her own fortune and that
of the theater-of which she was during
so many years the glory. Would Rachel

Paper Matches,
A new match is on the tapis at Jon
koping, the invention of a Swedish engi
neer, Fredriksson by name, who has
been experimenting for several years for
the purpose of simplifying the manufac
ture of matches. The idea in his match
somewhat reminds one of the rolled up
tape measure of a tailor encased in a
metal cover and with only'ie end pro
jecting. There is a metal cover in which
is placed a roll of paraffined paper, in
tercepted at regular intervals so that
small points are formed. On these the
igniting substance is placed.
An end of the paper projects from out
of the casing, and on pulling it quickly
out the substance is ignited against the
small steel plate, and one has a match
which burns slowly and evenly. The
metal cover can of course be varied in
accordance with the different require
ments of its use, and when the paper
roll is finished a new one is inserted. It

Half Child, Half Rhinoceros.
Mineral Springs, O., comes to the front
with a monstrosity. The head of the
child, if such it can be called, resembles
a rhinoceros, and is of soft cartilage aud
almost transparent. By close observa
tion the blood can be traced. The least
touch will cause the child to open its
month and make a noise like an enraged
animal. A triangular mark of blue
color extends entirely across its fore
head. The case is vouched for by Dr. Con
nor, N. W. Cross and E. W. Johnson, of
Mineral Springs. The freait consumes
about three quarts of milk daily. The
child belongs to a family named Die, re
siding near Blue Creek, in this county.
Its left eye is black, while "the right eye
is a deep blue. Its hair from the nose
back to the right side is light and fine.
while the opposite is coarse and black.
The left hand and foot resemble the
claws of an animal. It makes short
barks like a dog. San Francisco Exam
iner. The Funerals of the Rich.
The Boston Globe points with pride to
the simplicity of the obsequies of George
William Curtis and John Greenleaf
Whittier, and it inveighs against the
custom of burying the rich with pomp
and pageant. Yet after all it is only a
great man who can afford to be buried
quietly. Riches alone can celebrate
riches; somewhat else and much more is
required when it comes to consigning
the great to their last resting place. The
rich die, the great do not. Funerals
were made for the moneyed; it is the
fast of them, aud we heartily approve o;
the custom which enables them to maki
the most of it. Chicago News-Record
What Luck Is.
Some attribute the success in life to
luck. "I never had any faith in luck,"
cays Mr. Spurgeon, "except I believe
good luck wld carry a man over a ditch
if he jumps well, and will put a bit of
bacon in his pot if' he looks after his
garden and keeps a pig." Luck comes
to those who look after it, and it taps
once in a lifetime at everybody's door;
if industry does not open it, away it
goes. General Butterfield's Address.

YOUNG
The Mighty Poll ccxn a .
Senator Brice had to acknowledge his
Insignificance compared to the mighty
dignity of a Chicago policeman. It was
in the convention hall. Mr. Brice was
working his way down a center aisle
toward the Ohio delegation. The gal-,
lery crowd recognized him and yelled.
The yell was taken up by the crowd in
the pit. The Ohio statesman blushed
and bowed his acknowledgments. Sev
eral delegates rose from their seats as if
to break toward Brice.
This incensed the burly cop, who had
been posing in the aisle for one hour and
nobody had applauded him. He started
toward Mr. Brice, shouting "Sit down!"
but Mr. Brice wasn't yet half way to his
delegation, and didn't want to sit down.
He told the policeman so. Then the
guardian of the peace and dignity of
Chicago plunged toward the Ohio sena
tor, caught him by the nape of the neck
and rammed him down into a chair. Mr.
Brice was squelched. He looked half
mad and half sorry. But the frown
that darkened the policeman's face
would have done credit to Jove. Cor.

Made Rocftets formidable.
Sir William Congreve turned his at
tention to the improvement of skyrock
ets in 1804. They had previously been
made with paper cases, and the guide
sticks were made long and attached to
the side of the base of the excitable part
of the machine. He did away with the
paper cases and substituted sheet iron.
He made the guide stick shorter and at
tached it at the center. He was not in
the business for the fun of it, and he
improved them so much that he used
them with wonderful success at the
siege of Boulogne and the battlo of
Leipsic. and it is said that he increased
the range of the 6-pounder rocket from
600 to 2,000 yards.
Sir William Congreve exhibited his
rockets to great advantage on Aug. 1,
1814, when England celebrated the gen
eral peace and the centennary of the ac
cession to the throne of the Brunswick

A Eainty Ice Dessert.
Among the most graceful and whole
some of dessei'ts at this season of the
year are fruit ices. A very nice c range
ice is made in this way: Put a quart of
water and three-fourths of a pound of
sugar in a porcelain lined saucepan over
a moderately hot fire. When it has
boiled ten minutes remove it frcia the
fire and let it stand until it is perl ctly
cool. Squeeze the juice from a dozen
oranges and four lemons. Rasp the rind
of an orange with a lnmp of sugar, and
after the juice of the lemons and oranges
has been strained add it, together with
the lump of sugar, to the boiled sugar
and water and, after stirring all thor
oughly together, freeze the eume as ice
cream.
