1UE VACANT V1IA1IL
If Trcsiilont Harrison would moot the
anticipations of tho pooplo of the South,
especially of Tennessee and Kentucky,
which form part of the Sixth Judicul Cir
cuit, In the matter of UllniR tlio piaco
tuado vacant by tho latij Jtwtico Staulcy
Matthews on tho Supreme Court bench,
ho should appoint the Hon. William M.
Smith, of this city, to it. A lawyer of the
highest Htnndinp, a Benjlcman of tho
hi(liest probity and a citizen who long ago
reached tho highest standard, Judgo
Smith would in tho host seliso lrovo
an acquisition to the highest court In tho
land. Hero where his life has been spent,
and where ho is best known, ho is held la
esteem by men of every class, creed nnd
political faith for unswerving upritrhtnoss
and udicial fairness, characteristics that
wero csiccially conspicuous in him when
ho presided as Judjju ol tho Chancery
Court of Shelby County immediately after
tho rloso oi tho war. At that time, when
politics wero at a whito heat, ami
passion and prcjiidico wero assorting their
sway even in the hljjhest places, Judge
Smith held the scales evenly balanced and
decided according to the luw and the fads.
Tho Republicans of tho State should titko
pride In presenting his name, lo the Pres
ident and urging appointment. They
can do this consistently, for there is not
ono of them nil w ho more honorably and
honestly lived up to his convictions as a
t'nion ninn and member of the Republi
can pnrty. Judgo Smith Is the man for
the place and Tna Aitk w, speaking for
his neighbor and friends, would bo glad
to see him elevated to it.
Tub: I'einoerats of Arkansas would do
well to organize at oneo and go to can
vnssiii vlinmsly If they desire to elect
their nominees for Judges of the Supremo
Court, The Republican aro prepared to
make a vigorous contest, and with tho
presligo of national success aro aanguiuo
of carrying their ticket.

Elglit gentlemen, as many ladies, two little
girls and an alleged meJiuiu wero present
last night In the parlors of Mr. C. J. Elmore,
at No. 27 McKinney street, for the purpose
of testing an alleged spiritual medium. Tho
so-called medium is a young man of about
thirty-five years of age, rutber bald, with a
brown mustache, durlc eyes and passably
intelligent-looking. He culls himself Dr. C.
It. Dewey, and claims to linve the power of
throwing himself into a trance, during the
progrer of which lie loses his personality
nnd becomes somebody else, for whose utter
ances ho disclal ma any responsibility. There
wero three retirtcrs present lust night
to witness the scanco. It was very
funny, and half the time those who
wore present could only restrain their laugh
ter by cramming hundkerchiufs and other
handy material into their mouths. The
roo u was not darkened, as is sometimes
done wdicn spirits sre expected; but a very
bright lamp lu the buck parlor threw a flood
of light over the surroundings, while the
lamp in the front room, in which the "me-
jum ' and his victims sat, wus only slightly
turned down, not enough to make it dilh-
cult to clearly distiiiKtiish the features of
every person in the room, mo "mcium -

The llttlo miss was out walking with her
older sister, Mamie, and wus slightly in her
resr. Her toot caught on one ol the almost
innumerable obstacle on the old death
trap, she fell forward, and on through a large
hole, not stopping until she had gone a dis
tance of twenty feet, and to tlio' water
edge. So otiicklv did it occur, and so noise
less did she clear the hole, that her sister for
moment wus unaware of tho nee i dent. It
was observed, however, by the night watch-
man at t isevcm mill, who Iiosumic.1 lo the
srrno to lend assistance 111 rcscu
