BATESVILLE GUA-RD. FRANK D. DENTON, Publisher. BATESVILLE, - - ARKANSAS SATURDAY AFTERNOON. Through flickering leaves the sunlight sifting Falls warmly across the tidy floor. The distant voices of gleeful children Cc*ae faintly in at tne open door. The clock’s low rhythm defines the stillness; The house is resting from work well done; The weary housewife, with patient fingers. Knits ’mid the quiet so hardly won. She ponders the day’s completed labors. Finished beiimes, ere the Sabbath rest; The dainties stored in the well-filled pantry, The mended garments, the welcomed guest. The toil-worn fingers move slow and slower. Her head droops forward, her eyes full soon Close in a gentle and childlike slumber. And she dreams in the Saturday afternoon. She wanders with tireless feet of childhood Through meadows she knew so well of yore, And laughs as she fills her tiny apron With blossoms fragrant, in boundless store. Forms long vanished step in at the doorway; Sweet voices sing a forgotten rune; Angels ascend and descend before her. And she rests in the Saturday afternoon. The fading sun sinks under the hill-tops, The shadows lengthen across the floor; The birds chirp softly their good-night carol, The children pause at the dark'ning door; The tired sleeper no more they waken, Pale in he rays of the harvest moon: She waits the dawn of an endless Sabbath, Gone home in the Saturday afternoon. —Christian Union SHADOWS OS THE WALL. “Come in.” She gives the permission to enter, in a low, hurried voice, looking up from her open writing-desk upon the table, across which her arm is laid. There is a newspaper laid there, too—the folded page blistered as with tears. “ Died, at Summerfield .” But those tears dried, and there are none now in the weary eyes that lift themselves from that "blotted line, and turn wistfully upon the opening door. “ You have a letter for me, Nancy?” “Please, Miss Gray,it’s some one ” But the slip-shod little maid-of-all work is cut short in her speech by that some one from behind putting her gently aside from the door and shutting it upon her. as he entered. Some one— a man, who has removed his hat in com ing forward, and on whose face the lamplight falls, as be stands on the hearth-rug opposite Miss Gray. “ Bessy ” His face is full of eager life, but she is looking up at him as if she saw a ghost. Her hand shakes so, resting on the paper, that the rustling draws his eyes to it. He comes a step nearer and Cuts his hand down firmly on hers, as e glances at the lines just above. “ ‘Died at Summerfield’—Bessy, do you take me for a ghost?” She cannot speak. The color is steal ing back into her lips, and they tremble apart, but no words come. He says, trying to speak lightly, for her face alarms him: “ You did not know that there were two of the name. My father’s house at Summerfield seemed to fix it on me. It was my cousin, John Hesketh. Poor fellow, death was such a happy release to him from his wearisome illness, that he would not grudge its having brought me some good. It was your letter of condolence to Mrs. Hesketh, Bessy, which showed me where to find you, after all these weary years.” The color has died ont of her face as suddenly as it Hashed into it. The flut tering hand under his is drawn away, and folds itself with the other, tightly, on the edge of the desk. “ You left Mrs. Hesketh very well, I hope.” “ Well, that is hardly to be expected of a young widow, Bessy.” “ I—l do not understand ” “ That you were as mistaken in the marriage as in the death. How could you be, Bessy?” She is quivering from head to foot, flushing and quivering, as she says, brokenly: “ How should I not be? Some one sent me a paper long ago, with the marriage at Summerfield marked in it. How could 1 know? And when 1 read the name in the paper again, last week ” “You wrote your little letter to that imaginary wife of mine, tcllingh - that you bad known me years ago, ar that, seeing the name, you were so grieved for her. and could not refrain, though a stranger to her, from telling her so. It was a sweet little letter; she, poor little widow, showed it to me, and was not quite pleased with me that I took it away from her. 1 have it here. Bessy, if I read between the lines ” She catches her breath. “I wrote nothing she might not have read if she bad been your wife.” •‘Between the lines, I said, Bessy. From them she would never have guessed what the old friendship meant But 1 remember it was no friendship; it was love.” He sass the word with his touch upon her bands again. But she shakes it off; she has risen to her feet, her grasp upon the back of her chair, steadying her. " “If it were,” she says, hurriedly, “j ou never said it so plainly then, that you need repeat it now.” “You cannot doubt I mean it. You knew I was coming back. And in the meantime, your father and you both suddenly removed, leaving no trace— Bessy,” with a quick light breaking upon him, “it was in that same sum mer that m^ cousin John Hesketh mar ried; could'that have had anything to do with ” “My hiding myself?” she supplies, quietly. “Nothing.” Hesketh’s face changes, as he looks searchingly at her. But he can see bers no longer. She has sunk down again in her chair, her elbows on the tabic, her head bent in her hands. He waits a moment for her to speak, to move; when the does not, he draws back a little, and resting his arm on the mantel, glances round him. It is a poor place enough; the lodg ing-house exterior, and the slip-shod maid-of-all work on the stairs, had not led him to expect much. But yet he had not looked for such bare poverty as this—the uncarpeted floor, the small table, the two or three hard chairs. Turning slightly for a fuller view, he catches a glimpse through a half-open door of an inner room, comfortably al though still plainly furnished. He draws a breath of relief. That inner room is a strong contrast to the beauti ful home which had once seemed so aptly to surround her; but still, he is relieved to think her days are not all spent in this bareness. /•nd then his gaze goes back to her. While he looked into her face, Jie was not able to heed her dress or her sur roundings; but now he sees that the • Icep mourning she wears is of the very cheapest, although fresh as if recently put on. His heart is stirred within him at the sight. He says in a low voice; “Your father ” “Died three weeks ago." 'lbis she answers, not uncovering her face. He says, after another pause: “And removed here afterward?” "No. Long, long ago. When first we left the dear old home. The room in there was his; he was never able to leave it after I first brought him here, until he left it for his grave.” “And this was vour room, Bessy?” She understands him. She looks up with a faint, wan smile. “What mat-, tors? He never knew what it was like; and could cushions and carpets and sofas make life any easier to me?” “My love could have made it easier— can make it, if you will have it.” She has tried to interrupt him with a hurried gesture; but he will not be in? terrupled. The he adds: “I came to-night to say it. 1 would have said it years ago if you had not lost yourself to me.” “Lost—yes; but not I. John Hes keth, you do not know There, why should I say more? It is so long ago since I was lost to you, you cannot carq much now. So we will part to night -" ’ ’ “We will not, Bessy.” He says it resolutely, drawing her hands away now, holding them fast in his own. for he cannot be mistaken; there is a look in her eyes that tells him how hard to her would be the parting—as hard, perhaps, as to himself. “We will not part.” She yields to him in so far that she does not free herself when he draws her to him. But then she turns her sad eyes on him. “John, will you make it harder for me? Let me go in silence —1 have kept it all these years.” “You should not, if I had known where to find you, my darling.” “I do not know. I think I should have kept it, even if I had not heard of your marriage just before.” “Keep silence still then, Bessy. You are speaking in riddles; but it is not their answers I have come for. I have come for the answer to just one ques tion: Bessy, do you love me?” A faint smile crosses her face, but does not lighten its sadness. She says, softly: “If you care to hear it—yes. Stay—” her sudden movement disengages her from him. “1 love you, and I will not marry you. I would rather you would not ask me why.” “You require too much of me,” he interrupts her hoarsely. “You tell me that you mean to spoil my life and yours, and that I am to take it on faith that you are right. I will not take it on faith. I tell you plainly, you must prove to me that you are right, or I will never give you up.” Again that wan smile .crosses her lips, but does not touch the shadow in her eyes. “1 will prove it to you. then. It is easily done now. If you had come a month ago I might not have spoken. But now, that he rests in the grave, 1 may tell you that 1 am Richard Lestre, the swindler's daughter. It has been a long time since ho was convicted, and served out his term of puqishment; but. perhaps, not so long, that in your boyhood you have not heard his name.” He has; she sees it in his face. She goes on: "I heard it for .the first time when the paralytic stroke came, which impaired his memory; so that he went back to the years before he came to this country, under the name you know him by. When I heard it, you will under stand my one aim and end in life was to pay back the people he had ruined m the old life—to pay them back out of the fortune he had amassed in the new; I know ho meant to do it. So much I have gathered from his rambling speech from time to time. The sum is nearly cleared off now, and my poor father— but Twill not speak of him; I cannot expect you to feel with me there.” “Do I not?” He has come to her— he has drawn both her hands in his. “And this is what you would have part us, Bessy? I cannot bear your burden? —you must suffer alone?" She raises her head quickly. “I do not refuse your pity, John; I take it gratefully. But I will not have it in the stead of love. And that you should love my father's daughter ” “1, who loved your father, Bessy?” *‘J oh n—J ohn—■ ’ ’ He draws the sobbing woman closet to him. “ We will not make light of the sin, my dear one, but neither will we of the repentance. And, Bessy, remember this; if you withhold yourself from me you withhold the one thing I have looked for and longed and waited for every day of all these years since we two parted.” • • ♦ • • • I am still sitting in my window, where my opposite neighbor in that low room next the roof of the lodging-house across the street, comes to her window and draws down the blind. And I see no more shadows hovering about upon the wall. They are only shadows, after all, that I have seen, out of which I have been weaving the story of my pale little opposite neighbor. I often see hers thrown upon the wall there, for an evening hour when she has forgotten to draw down her blind—thrown quite alone there, until to-night. Have my shadows any substance after all? I only know that the paralytic old man about whom seemed to hang a mystery, was carried out in his coflin not long ago, and I hope—l hope the pretty, mourn ful face over the way is not to dwell in shadows all its life.— Godoy's Lady Book, A Tough Horse Story* A certain horse in Sayreville for twenty years has been a cart horse .in a brickyard, and the habit of going through a certain round of duties day after day for eight months in the year has enabled him to do things which seem to indicate the possession of mental faculties similar to some of those possessed by the human race. It is an old saying among farmers that crows cannot count more than three, but this horse has the ability to count sixty-five. His routine of labor is to cart sixty-five loads of clay from the pit to the" spot where the clay is mixed or ground, and then to go for a load of coal dust; and now, without anything being said or done to indicate the met to him, when he has deposited his sixty-fifth load he turns away from the clay pit and goej to the dock for a load of the dust. This is not his only peculiarity, for, when he goes to the pit he backs the cart up imself to the right place and will take only what he conceives to be his proper load. If more is put on he backs and kicks and rattles the cart about until the load is reduced to what he consid ers a proper quantity. Having such in tellectual capacity, it is not surprising to learn that he will not be driven. As soon as the lines are touched he be comes fractious and unmanageable, but a gentle explanation of what is required of him has the desired effect. It is un necessary to add that such an intelli gent horse will do no more work after the whistle fordinner or supper sounds. All his companions in the yard have wit enough for that, and if they are on their way to the pit for a load when the whistle blows they all turn about and make for the stable without any orders.

It is made as follows: One pound pulverized white sugar, white of six eggs and yelks of two, three lemons, including grated rind and juice. Cook twenty minutes over a slow fire, stirring all the while. —Lucy’s Pop Overs.—Two teacups sweet milk, two teacups sifted flour heaped a little, butter size of a walnut, two eggs, one tablespoonful sugar, a little salt; beat the whites to a stiff froth; bake in hot gem pans filled half full for twentv minutes, and serve im mediately. These are very nice. —Turkey Dressed with Oysters.—For a ten-pound turkey take two pints of bread crumbs, half a teacup of butter cut in bits (not melted), one teaspoon ful of powdered thyme, or summer savory, pepper, salt and mix thoroughly. Rub the turkey well inside and out with salt and pepper, then fill with first a spoonful of crumbs, then a few well drained oysters; strain the oyster liquor and use to baste the turkey. Cook the giblets in the pan and chop fine for the gravy. A fowl of this size will require three hours in a moderate oven. —At a recent meeting of the Califor nia Academy of Sciences, Dr. H. Gib bons said that since he put petroleum on the trees in his garden they have grown better and faster than before, and given better roses than before. The petroleum seems to kill the insect The handsomest rose he exhibited was from a bush which looked nearly dead a short time before. The petroleum was mixed with castor oil. It is applied sparingly, and great care taken that it does not run down the roots. Perhaps in a crude state the petroleum would be bad, even on the stalks; but mixed with the castor oil it appears to be advanta geous to the plantr —Dutch Apple Pudding.—One pint of flour, one teaspoonful of cream of tar tar, half a teaspoonful of soda, half a teaspoonful of salt, an egg, nearly a cupful of milk, two tablespoonfuls of butter, four large apples. Mix the salt, soda and cream of tartar with the flour and rub through a sieve. Beat the eggs light and add the milk to it. Pour the milk and egg on this, and mix quicklv and thoroughly. Spread the dough about half an inch deep on a buttered baking pan. Have the apples pared, cored and cut into eighths. Stick the pieces into the dough. Sprinkle with two tablespoonfuls of sugar, and bake in a quick oven for about twenty-five minutes. This puddmg is to be eaten with sugar and milk or lemon sauce. —What is termed “firing” among veterinarians has long been practiced in the treatment of various diseases in the bones of the legs, for by passing a red hot iron over the surface a blistering or superficial inti animation could be pro duced more rapidly than by applying, any of the ordinary blistering com pounds. But the necessity for such severe measures, even for bone spavin, is questionable, and we are pleased to see that some of our best veterinarians have placed firing along with bleeding as unnecessary and cruel practices of times past. C. w. Gregory, member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, England, de clares that during the past ten years he has not fired a single horse, and finds that mild and painless treatment is more speedy, more effective and more perma nent. He also unhesitatingly declares that firing is unscientific and an unnec essarily cruel operation, and should bo entirely abandoned in all cases where it has been heretofore practiced.— Ji. Y. Sun. —The comfort which a hot water bag or even a hot brick may afford a person on retiring, chilled, is very great, and beyond this, the use of some such warmth-producing appliance is useful us a health preservative and restorative. But one of the most convenient articles to be used as a bed-warmer and in a sick room is a sand bag. Get some clean, line sand, dry it thoroughly in a kettle on the stove, make a bag about eight inches square of flannel, fill it with the dry sand, sew the opening carefully together, and cover the bag with cotton or linen cloth. This will prevent the sand from sifting out and will also ena ble you to heat the bag quickly by plac ing it in the oven or on the top of the stove. After once using this you will never again attempt to warm the feet or hands of a sick person with a bottle of hot water or a brick. The sand holds the heat a long time and the bag can be tucked up to the back without hurling the invalid. It is a good plan to make two or three of the bags and keep them ready for use. A Remedy for Cotton Worm. I*rof. Riley, United States Entomolo gist, delivered, at the Atlanta Exposi tion, an address on the cotton worm and the means of destroying it. His audience was shamefully small, the speech being of sneh practical import to the farmers of the South that thou sands should have heard it He con fined his remarks to the cotton belt of the South, and stated that siuce the war the ravages of the cotton worm have been far greater than before. He said that between 1865 and 1880 the cotton worm had destroyed 915,000,600 worth of cotton in the South. In 1872 he dis covered that paris green was a good remedy, but it was not until 1878 that he was enabled to investigate the sub ject thoroughly. In that year, aided by Senator Morgan, of Alabama, and other Southern Senators, he secured an ap propriation of $5,000 from Congress, and since that time has devoted himself to careful investigation throughout the South. The cotton worm first appeared in the form of a bluish green egg on the under side of the leaves of the plant. The worm is hatched out in from two to four days, and remains for the first few days on the under side of the plant, making, tiny, yellowish blotches on the leaves. This is the proper time for the application of the poison. The worm should be destroyed beiore it attains full growth, when it crawls to the top of the leaves. One grown female worm could generate 20,000,000,000 insects in a short time. Paris green was one rem edy used, but the cheapest and safest remedy for men and stock is London purple. Half a pound of London pur ple dissolved in forty gallons of water and sprinkled on the bottom of leaves during the infancy ot the worms would effectually destroy them, the cost ot this remedy, including application, being about six cents per acre. He expressed regret at finding a cotton field of four or five acres on the Exposition grounds containing cotton plants from various parts of the world entirely defoliated by the cotton worm, and said that if he could have known of the presence of the worms earlier he could have de stroyed them in two hours. He exhibi ted various machines for spraying pois on upon the worms. This theory was supported by the experience of cotton planters who spoke at the conclusion o* the address. I Ingredients of New York Beer. The Commissioner of Internal Rev enue has had the question of the ma terials which enter into the manufacture of beer in New York City examined by some of his agents there. The main point of the inquiry was directed toward ascertaining whether the brewers were in the habit of reporting on the regular forms the materials other than malt and hops which they used.' The result of the examination, so far as has been made known here, shows, that some of the brewers do not report any materials used by them except malt and hops, and that they do not even enter those addi tional materials in their records. Some of them claim as an explanation of this violation of law that they have not been required to make such reports. On the other hand, the officers of the internal revenue say it has been con stantly required of the brewers to make the reports, but that they have caused much trouble, because they are ex tremely reluctant to have it known that they use anything but malt and hops. The officers say that glucose, rice, etc., must be taken into the breweries at night. The agents report that the brew ers in the Second District make com plete returns of the materials. A de tailed report of one agent showed that many brewers claimed that they used nothing but malt and hops, but still he ascertained that some used sugar, some corn meal, and some rice, in addition. One brewery showed the use in a month of 11,130 bushels of malt, no hops, and 8,046 bushels of other materials. On inquiry it appeared that the latter item was oil corn meal. At one brewery, where the returns tm the Collector showed the use of mag and hops only, an investigation revealed the fact that for every ninety-six bushels of malt there was used 500 pounds of cor aline, although the latter was not en tered either on the returns of the ma terial received or used. Another large brewery which reported only hops and malt as used, really manufactured their beer of materials in the following pro portions : Malt, 13,250 bushels; corn meal, 26,300 pounds; glucose, 5,600 pounds. Another establishment used malt, hops, corn meal and rice, the pro portion of malt and meal being fifty bushels of corn meal to 250 bushels of malt. The last brewery examined had just abandoned the use of glucose. The practice had been the use of 600 pounds of glucose to every 165 bushels of malt, A Lucky Philadelphian. Philadelphia bids fair to have among her citizens a genuine bonanza king in the person of Mr. M. Guggenheim, the Chestnut Street lace merchant. His luck in speculation is proverbial on Third Street, and the Press recently gave an account of his lucky hit in Hannibal & St. Joe common, by which he made 9320,000. A year or ago Mr. Guggen heim and another gentieman bought a mining property in Leadville, known as the A. Y. Mine, for about 94,000. The claim was developed slowly, but it has recently begun to pay enormously. Mr. Guggenheim’s individual profits during the month of September were exactly 917,231.52, or more than 800 per cent, on his original investment. This month his profits will be about the same; and as some new machinery is being put in, which will increase the capacity of the mine, they will be doubled in Novem ber. There is now said to be 6,000 tons ol ore in sight, and the opening of the mine has just been fairly begun. When asked yesterday by a Press reporter if he would put his mine on the market, Mr. Guggenheim replied: “No, sir; the mine is not for sale. I would not sell my share for half a million, cash mon ey. I just got back from Leadville this morning, and I made a thorough exam ination of the property. If what the geologists tell us is true, we could get three or four millions cash money out of that mine. I think it is better to work such a property myself than to make a company.”— Philadelphia Press. —The new carriage in which Mrs. John W. Mackey takes her airings in Parti cost 930,000. THE MARKETS.

HOUSEHOLD ACCIDENTS. 111 (1 F I X I I The I /^r r 1- — 7 fol - I lowing Jill - «Uffges- \X 191 n tions are as. n °T design- i . „ ed to induce The public to ‘w.l attorn pt the du- — ties the regu \wril tar surgeon, but, lIMIS merely to place the I I I ij®lp readers of these pages II all In possession of a means || I ' of treatment of the minor JI I accidents occurring daily in the household, and which, while not dangerous in themselves, are exceedingly annoying. Burns, bruises, scalds, sprains, etc., are prin cipal among these troublesome and annoying occurences, and demand immediate treatment with the best means at hand. In the kitchen, the dining-hall, the nursery and the sitting room they are liable to happen, and, instead of fear and alarm at the sight of the cut or mashed finger, or bruised or burned arm. or scalded surface, a cool and quiet manner should be as sumed, and after washing away the blood, (if required), the injured parts should be dressed with that most valuable remedy—St. Jacobs Oil. Its surprisingly quick relief, its cleansing properties, its tendency to quickly remove all inflammation, and its wonderful efficacy in the above as wcl 1 as in all muscular and other pal ns, such as rheumatism, neuralgia, toothache, headache, stiffness of the joints, etc.,—these render Sr. Jacobs Oil pre-eminently the best external remedy now before the people: which claim is fully substantiated by the strongest kind of testimony from all classes of people. The value of human life is so supremely impor tant that anything that tends to its prolonga tion is entitled to the highest consideration. Charles Nelson, Esq., proprietor Nelson House, Port Huron, Mich., says: “I suffered so with rheumatism that my arm withered, and physi cians could not help me. I was in despair of my life, when some one advised me to try St. Jacobs Ou- I did so. and. as if by magic, 1 was instantly relieved, and by the continued use of the Oil entirely cured. I thank heaven for having used this wonderful remedy, for if wvtd •ny It also cured my wife.” o'*’ \ I A |h| Contested land esses, pri rate ■ |MI I _ land claims land pre-empt lon, j"' wr ■ and homestead cases, for sol* ; dlers and their heirs prosecuted before the G« n« rs| Land Office, Department of the Interior, and Suprina Court, and all classes o'claims before the Executive p-panments.
