Batesville is a splendid old
town of about 3,000 people, and
is thirty miles away from the
main trunk railroad line. It
has a little railroad of its own,
and her people don't care a
cent if it does take three hours
to make j the tilp. They say
that $iine Is not so "scarce"
there as it is in other places
that the days are longer and
more 'of them, and the birds
sing sweeter, and the girls are
lovelieijand everybody happier
than anywhere else in the wide
world. As We journeyed to
the town, a jralant and suscep
tible drummer kissed his hand
toi a pretty girl who was stand
ing in a cottage door, and said
"Good morning, honey darling,
yoa look mighty sweet with
your Mother Uubbard on!"
Sorriebody will get that ardent
youth with a' shotgun if he
don't mind, but he says he al
ways salutes them ' wTien they
have on a Mother Hubbard and
the cars are moving up lively.
Batesville is - a rock.-bnilt
tow a. There is a salmon col
ored stone near by that quar
ries as smooth and as rectangu
lar as brick. They split it in
to blocks about six' inches
thick aud , that occupy the
space of about twelve brick,
and the rrasons build the stoue
houses quicker and cheaper
ttia'f they can build a brick
one. -These rocK-biiilt walls
gie the town a straw-colored
shade that can be iouul no
where else. Tpe town is situ
ated on White river, that is
navigable, and I saw two re
spectable steamboats at the
wharf. The surrounding ridge3 i
are crowned with cedar and
whole iraJn loads and boat
loads are moving every day.
Iron and mauganese abound
and the railroad has been ex
tended to tni ( mines. The

but is more like Atlanta in its
sure and steady growth: Thir

of course could see the changes
and the progress much better

Jadge Smith attended the First

almost exclusively on fodder for

Tbe Young People's Literary So
ciety of Ferndale was in a condi
tion of the most pleasurable excite
ment. Iu had succeeded in making
an engagement with tne of the
most liiMtiuguished American poets
of the day. to deliver a lectnre at
the anniversary of its organization.
All the young people, and the ol
der ones as well,' who were inter
ested in literature, promised them
selves an evening of great intel
lectual enjoy me it ; and . those who
took but little interest in such mat
ters were sure that the occasion
would be a flue one at which to see
and be seen. It so happened,
there foie, that everybody was
looking forward to the night of the
lectnre with anticipations of no or
dinary kind. - .- '
Margaret Sterue wan especially
pleased and interested. She had
long been a most earnest admirer
of the poet. Everything he wrote
she was sure to read at the first
opportunity. She tu familiar
with the best poetry of Europe and
America: bnt nothing else afforded
her so much pleasure as this man's
poetry did. He was the- poet of
the world to her.
She had long felt an intense de
sire to meet bim. . She had longed
to see bow he looked, to hear him
speak, aud.compare the real man
with the ideal pbet she always had
in mind when she thought of bim.
The pleasantest part of the eve
ning's pleasure was to come in an
informal reception, which was to
be tendered him by the members
of the society after tbe lecture.
At that she would form bis ac
quaintance. To think of U! She would at last
meet the man whose poem a gave
her so mnch delight! She would
talk with him about them, and tell
hi 111 Low much she liked them. She
learned several verses from them,
intending to recite them, if the Op
portunity occurred, in tne course
of the- conversation. That, would
be sure to pleas) him, because it
would prove to bim bow . familiar
sho was with what ' he had writ
ten. The lectnre was to he given in
the church. It was. filled, at an
early hour, with as fine au audi
ence as ever oame together in Fern
dale. .
Margaret's father was one of the
wealthy men of the place, and his
daughter was rather proud of the
fact, and inclined to be somewhat
exclusive in her notions. It was
not at all strange then that on tbe
evening of the lectnre, she took
possession of the lamilr iewt and
gave her ii lends to understand, by
ber manner, that she preferred to
occupy it alone. As none of them
felt auy desire to sic where they
were not wanted, she was left un
disturbed, and sat there looking
and feeling very mnch like a qneen
in state among commoners.
There was a rnstle of pleased ex
citement in the audience when the
president of the society came in
with the distinguished man and
introduced bim to them. .
Margaret was delighted to find
that he was fully up to her ideal.
There was something inspiring and
uplifting in his presence. His face
was a sure indication af his genius,
she decided. IT the had met bim
anywhere, she would have known
be was no common man.
The room was very still when he
began to speak. 11 is opening sen
tences caught and held tbe atten
tion ol those who had come to bear
what he had tp sav; and those who
had come to aee aud be seen and
be seen listened out of respect to
the man and tbe occasion. ;..
Presently the door opeued and
an old woman came in, undiscover
ed by tbe ushers,' who bad taken It
for granted that their services
would be no longer required. 8be
looked about her rather nervously
and seeing no vacant seat near by
except the pew in which Margaret
sat, she went to It, and would have
entered it, had not that young la
day given her haughty repellant
look which made ber draw back in
a kind of frightened way. It said
as piaiuly as words, "l don't want
you here. This is no place for you."
liuth Archer, sitting in her fath
er's pew, a little to one side and in

her own pew.

An esteemed contemporary ex
presses tbe Opinion that the thor
oughly unselfish man who goes
along qmetly and does his duty will
never cnt much of a figure iu the
world, and will uever be written np
as a hero. . :
There is something in this view
of the matter. A qniet. Belt-sacrificing
man can not very well keep
himself before tbe gaze of tbe pub
lic. He is not likely to display
boldness aud dash, because thete is
geuerally a risk in adventures tbat
require these qualities, and the
man who is devoting bis life.to the
interests of others never rinks any
thing when be 'can help it.
There is a great mystery about
this thing called bero worship.
Men profess an admiration for what
they call the highest type of man
hood, but their favorite bero, as a
rule, has a good deal of devil in
him. Even when their idol ball
pens to be a model man, they ap
pear to take pleasure in recalling
tbe follies and sometimes the
crime of some period in bis career
ante-dating his decorous course of
life. So general is this disposition
,tbat it is a bard matter these days
for a preacher or a moral reformer
to draw a crowd unless it is known
that ue broke nearly every com
mandment iu the decalogue before
he turned over a new leaf. Tbe
man wao has behaved himself from
bis youth np stands a slim chance
of beading a great moral move
ment that will excite tbe enthusiasm
of tbe masses. Of coarse, we are
looking for saints and are ready to
follow them, but how delightful it
is to find a saint who was once
reprobate !
Perhaps, after all, this feeling is
akin to that impulse which makes
men admire a veteran who is cov
ered with the scars of battle. They
want a leader or a teacher whose
scars show that be has fought his
way into the right path. Tbe man
who has been there all the time is,
in tbeir eyes, a very commonplace
individual, and souiet nes be can
not command their conlldcnce.
There is another view of this
hero matter. Tbe admire'r of a
great man once remarked that fce
liked bim because be was ' so d d
human." Perhaps this is why we
like to find a few flaws ia' our he
roes, a few black ots on their
records. We are all the tme
clamoring for good men, hut they
must not be r o good." In other
words, they must at some time iu
their lives have been very human
lustrative of tbe history or most
Kamsax towns which have passed
under the domination of the wo.
men. The mayor has had a babr
and abolished billiards and hard
cider. At Oskaloosa. whi h recent
ly elected a female towu conned, it
is now proposed to make a war of
extermination upon billiards and
to pass an ordinance establishing
the 'Mother Hubbard' as the of.
ftcial dress of the mayor and coun
cil when in session ; aud another
declaring all men who appear on
the streets nnshaved and unwashed
to be vagrants, and ordering their
arrest and fine; and still another
adding to the duties of the mar
shal that or caring For the babies
of the city mothers while tbe coun
cil is in session. The Oskaloosa
Council has already had all the
spittoons removed from the council
chamber and prohibited tbe use of
tobacco in any form in the room."
Thus two experiments, requiring
bnt a small area of giuuud, and
trying three different e ..
dufilcient to obtain th i:..lcatioca
ueceasary to a judicious Mtem of
culture. The variable yieli of tbe
crops, compared with tbat obtained
from laud manured with the nitro
genous aud mineral elements com
bined, will measure tbe richness of
the soil.
