BATESVILLE GUARD. FRANK D. DKNTOX, PuMtsher. BATESVILLE, - - ARKANSAN Manorial Myths. . Allowing that’ the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds is neither more or less than a convenient subterfuge, at least it serves a useful object; and that is more than can be truly said for some immemorial make-believes, as, for ex ample, those two manorial myths to which the corporation of the city of London cling with the tenacity of a mussel to a low-water rock. There are the Chiltern Hills, and the Hundreds of Stoke of Desborough, and of Boden ham, and anyone so inclined may go and look at them. But where are the “Forge,” in the county of Middlesex, and the “Moors,” in Shropshire, which estates the city holds of the crown at a quit rent of six horse-shoes, si<ty-one nails and two knives? Regularly every year the corporation pay their quit rent with solemnly farcical formality. They pay it to the Queen’s remembrancer, in a room of the high court of justice, not withstanding that every one in the world, the mnemonic official included, is profoundly ignorant of the where abouts of the property. All the same, on rent day,the Queen’s remembrancer —assisted by his clerk, who gets a re ward of four yards of fine cloth for the job—stands at a little table, upon which are spread a neat little billet of twigs that would do credit to a West-end toy shop—laid lengthwise upon a little chopping-board flanked with six horse shoes—very old and large and flat shoes of some ancient knightly charger, perhaps those of the beast which bore Sir William Walworth, when, as Froissart has it, he “drew a kind of scimetar” and felled Wat Taylor to the ground—and sixty-one nails and two knives. It is the duty of the city solicitor, acting on behalf of his clients the corporation, to chop the twigs and count up the horse-shoes, nails and knives, and of some other official persons to offer to render up the accounts of the estate. The chopping and counting are always duly per formed; but, of course, the accounts are not presented, because, we believe, there are no estates to account for. Some an cient, long-since-retired common coun cilman vaguely rememembers having heard, when he was a boy, of an ex tremely old man, whose grandfather kept a shoeing forge at the bottom of Milford Lane, in the Strand; that the forge had been in the family for more than a century, and that there was something wrong with the title. He supposes this may be the property for which the city does service to the crown, and he thinks it a pitv, therefore, that all the trace of the forge has passed away, and all knowledge of its site clean forgotten. Again, at some re mote period, the city may havq let, or rather underlet, the “Moors” to some one; but no rent has been paid for that messuage for the past three hundred years. The Shropshire landlords are, and ever have been, and ever will be ready to go to law on the slightest pro vocation in support of their titles, and the city does not claim of them a square inch of soil, any more than the crown claims of the city, beyond the quit rent of the two knives, which the old title-deed explains, may be one good and the other bad. Thus it follows that, even if the quit rent were not paid, all the queen’s horses and all the queen's men, including the royal re membrancer himself—whose memory does not extend to universally-forgotten items of topography —could notcall the bailiffs in. It would be as easy to dis train on a sunset, or put up a rainbow to auetion by order of the sheriff.—Lon don Telegraph. Juvenile Labor in Factories. New Jersey has for thirty-three years had a law in its statute books prohibit ing the employment of children under ten years of age in factories; but the law has been a dead letter, and over 12,000 children, a large proportion of them under ten years of age, are now at work in the seven thousand manu factories and workshops of that State. In 1883 the Legislature authorized the employment of an inspector to inquire into the condition of the children and report what measures were necessary to enforce the law. He has made the necessary investigations, and he testi fies that wherever he has found children employed in labor beyond their years and strength he has been shocked by unerring indications of physical and mental ruin and moral degradation. Not only were they dwarfed and stunted in body and prematurely old, but ab normally ignorant and precociously im moral. The direct tendency of the em ployment of children in factories is to depreciate the value of adult labor and reduce the earnings of parents who are able and willing to work. These remarks are true of child labor the world over. It is to the credit of the Tories of England that they suc ceeded in passing factoiy acts putting a stop to the work of children, as it was ruining the race of English working people. The labor of the father ought to be enough to support the wife and children.— Demorest's Monthly. Over-fredactlon of Palaces. During the feverish speculation of 1881 and 1882 an immense number of costly and splendid mansions were erected in the new quarter of Paris, in anticipation of a demand from the* wealthy foreigners who were imagined to be flocking to the city. After the houses were built it was discovered that the increase in the population, although large, was not due to the advent of 60,000 millionaires, but to the arrival of about 69,000 needy persons, and perhaps 960 respectable peo ple, able to earn enough to keep themselves from want; with fifty persons, more or less, able to af ford the cost of the luxury prepared for them; and the consequence of the mis apprehension as to the character of the immigration has been that the fifty millionaire new-comers find themselves invited to ohoose among a bewildering diversity of palaces, furnished with all the modern luxuries, and surrounded with conservatories, stables, carriage houses and the other superfluities whieh belong to great wealth. Whole streets between the Parc Monceaux and the Trocadero are lined with these costly structures, meet of them empty, some streets not having a single inhabitant; and establishments suitable for princes may be hired in the fashionable quarter of Faris for rents which would be called modest for a good dwelling-house in New York. Notwithstanding this over production of palaces, the market for small tenements hi but scantily sup plied, and those who cannot think of affording a luxurious habitation at a very low price are compelled to pay a high price for thdgings of very Inferior character.—AmeriSan Arddtect.

The west break-water is near ly finished. The Point of Rocks presents a lively appearance. Rock for the piers has begun to arrive. A lady in little Rock made a discovery a tew days ago while mixing a milk brandy punch for a sick person. The brandy was poured out in requisite quantity, and at the proper stage, the milk. Something began to create a commotion in the bottom of the tumbler, which proved to be a crawfish. The problem as to how it got in the milk is left with the milk man. Some boys while hunting birds’ nests on the Deaf-Mute Institute Hill, Little Rock, re cently, found several silver spoons, forks and knives, and a melted chunk of metal that looked as though several silver brace lets had been melted together. All looked as if it had been subjected to fire. The spoons had engraved on them the initials “P. N. E.” It is believed the ware thus found is part of some stolen “swag.” A company has beet* formed under a charter for the purpose of dredging and opening up the old St. Francis River, which runs through the wild waste of fine territory known as the “Sunk lands,'” northeast of Helena. The object of the work is to reclaim this territory from an nual and protracted overflow. If they suc ceed in dredging and opening up this chan nel it will greatly benefit that portion of the country. It will also improve the channel of the river to tts mouth. The company will commence the building of dredgeboats at once, and as soon as the water subsides sufficiently will go to work on the river improvement. Mrs. Gray, wife of President Gray of the State University, is convalescent after a recent severe illness. Much interest is manifested in Texarkans over the proposed new line of railroad be tween that city and Fort Smith. The Town Council of Magnolia, Colombia County, passed an ordinance to fine every one under twenty-one years of age who it found in a gambling house in the town.

Rabbi Benson, in charge of the Jewish congregation at Little Rock, has had a blue-eyed German damsel employed as a domestic in his family, who charges him , with attempting unspeakable liberiies with her, and will bring the matter to the atten tion of the Grand Jury. The Rabbi’s con gregation held a protracted secret session a few days ago, and, after discussing and denouncing the conduct of the Rabbi, sum marily dismissed him from pastoral charge, refusing to accept any explanation or permit him to resign. The water has been rising at Arkansas City for over two weeks and, on the 33th inst. was rising at the rate of two Inches per day, and raining continually. The floors of many houses were again under water. The following telegram was sent to Mr. Poindexter, member of Congress from that district, by the citisens: "Five hundred people are in a destitute condi tion. The overflow is still raging. Help must come.” Prospects are certainly gloomy, and much suffering among the poorer classes will occur unless prompt re lief is extended. Rev. F. C. Triee, a prominent divine of Randolph County, died a few days ago, aged eighty-three years. The Petit Jury for the Criminal side ol the Pulaski Circuit Court was discharged a few days ago, all the cases having been disposed of. Judge Vaughan started on the first Monday in April with an unusually large criminal docket and pushed business i through with great celerity. He is making -a splendid record on the bench. The case of James Evans and Julius Howser, the Monroe County bulldosers who murdered a negro who had testified against them, has been decided at last. At the last term of the Federal District Court at । Little Rbekthey were convicted and sen tenced to six years imprisonment at De i troit, Mich.

In his speech he referred to the repression of a free ballot in the South, and the Republican protection policy as the Important issues of the party. He ex pressed no personal preferences as to Presidential aspirants, but simply named those most prominently mentioned. Ar thur received a round of applause, and there was prolonged cheering when Gen eral Hawley’s name wasgnentioned. The convention selected as delegates at .large John L. Houston, Samuel E.

Belarus Coming In Slowly, Owing te Much Scratching—N» Doubt However M te the General Beenlt on the State Ticket—The Mayor ot New Orleans Declare. the Klee tlon In that City "aMoekery and Dellaneo of the People.'* Naw Onuses, April 24. Returns received yesterday, particu larly those from the city, were a surprise to all. The Democrats were counting on 8,000 majority, but they find that their majority in the city is 15,- 000, being the largest ever re ceived in New Orleans. They find further that the regular Democratic mu nicipal ticket is elected by an overwhelm ing majority, and that the opposition has not, In the entire city, elected a candi date except one aiderman. The defeated party—the Independents or Citisens’ ticket—take their defeat hard and the air is filled with their denunciations. There are loud shouts “of ballot-box stuffing.” The Mayor yesterday morning issued a proclamation declaring the election a mere mockery, a defiance of the people and In law and justice but a sham elec tion. The Picayune, which has supported the Independent ticket, makes similar charges and calls for a mass-meeting to deliberate upon the course to pursue. The proposition, however, does not take; no mass-meeting will be held and the de feated candidates will either prosecute their claims through the court or give up the fight altogether. The returns from the country parishes show political revolutions of all kinds growing out of the scramble for offices. Iu the Democratic parishes the bolting Democrats united with the Republicans, and vice versa in the Republican parishes. There was so much trading and scratch ing that it will be a week before the re sults can be given accurately. Iberia, St. James and Ascension, which have been Republican parishes since the days ot re construction, gave heavy Democratic majorities. Webster and Baton Rouge, which have always been Democratic, roll up majorities for Stevenson, Republican. Returns from thirty parishes, casting about two-thirds of the vote ot the State, are as follows: McEnery, Democrat, 50,- 641; Stevenson, Republican, 23,078; Mc- Enery’s ifljority, 27,563. The vote In 1879 in the same parishes was: Wilts, Democrat, 51,615; Beattie, Republican, 24,241; Democratic majority, 37,374. This Indicates a Democratic gain of 189. McEnery iu these parishes runs from three to four thousand behind the rest ot the Democratic ticket, due to the bitter ness engendered among certain opponents during the canvass tor the nomi nation. The vote on the debt amend ment Is very mixed, and the brokers were afraid to do anything in bonds, the re turns being so unexpected. The returns from only eighteen parishes arc at hand. In this point New Orleans gives a ma jority in favor ot the amendment of 20,000. Seventeen counties and par ishes give a majority against It of 6,113. The only question is, will the other parishes cast a vote sufficiently large against it to offset the city vote? So far as learned the Republican lose two members of the Legislatures and the Independents gain five. In no por tion of the State did any trouble or dis turbance of any kind occur. ■ _ . - Supposed But«4de. Charucstown, 111., April 98. Since last Sunday Henry M. Sutton of this city has not been seen, and is sup posed to have drowned himself. A letter was found on the table addressed to Mrs. Dr. Hall of this city, asking her to have his five children taken to the Orphan Asylum, and saying that his wife waa strong enough to take care of herself. It is also said that by the time she would read the letter his soul would be In eter nity. He has been married about eight months, the second time, and home troubles are no doubt the cause ot the nah action. High Ueeaee la gedalia. Bidalu, Mo., April M.

Many a man does his milk and butter a great injustice by over-estimating the cooling power of his spring or well waler. Strawberries fer Farmers. I wish I could induce every farmer reader of this paper who does not grow strawberries to appreciate the value of a strawberry patch. 1 believe there is no fruit which combines so many ex cellent qualities. Delicious, healthful, comparatively free from insect pests and easily produced in all kinds of soils —what other luxury so cheap and yet so good? It'is perhaps creditabfe to farmers that the use of strawberries is rapidly growing popular among them; yet it seems unjust that anv person having a patch of land should deprive himself and family of a full allowance of this delicious fruit during its fruiting season. The chief reason that strawberries are not more generally grown by farmers, is that the term “strawberry bed” often signifies something which the ordinary, pushing farmer cannot afford. The “strawberry bed” is as sociated with the flower garden, the lawn and the grapery, rather than the cabbage patch and the onion bed. In other words, most farmers who do not raise strawberries for family use believe that their production requires a vast amount of skill, patience and labor more than they can afford. This is by no means the case. Every person who can have a cabbage patch can also have a strawberry patch, and the latter re- Suites no more brains, patience or labor lan the former. Indeed those who are accustomed to growing straw berries in plenty for home use would drop the cabbage patch rather than the strawberry patch. The modern strawberry bed, instead of meaning a very small, raised plat of ground in the garden among the flowers and shrubbery, as it often existed in old fashioned gardens, signifies a good sized piece of ground where strawberry plants are sot out and cultivated with a horse as we cultivate the corn and cab bages. As labor is the chief item ot expense in growing garden products, it is important to practice a cheap system of growing strawberries. My system— the chief merit of which is economy and cheapness—is as follows: I set out a strawberiy patch every year in the spring as early as practica ble, usually during April. Ido not ex pect to obtain but one crop from a planting, although occasionally the plants are left to bear two crops. The advantages of this “one-crop plan” are that the first crop is nearly always the best, and that to preserve a bed to produce more than one crop requires toe much labor in order to thoroughly clean the soil of grass and weeds, and loosen the soil Between the rows and about the plants. By setting out a patch every spring and plowing down another one every year after it has fruited, a fresh bed is always ready to produce a full crop of flue, large ber ries, and the expense for weeding and cultivation is trifling. I plant in rows three and a half feel apart, and the plants are one foot apart in the row. I keep the soil clean, loose and open by frequent cultivation and the use of the hoe. No runners are cut, but they are allowed to take root along the line of the rows. Late in the season the cultivator teeth are narrowed up and the runners are allowed to form matted rows a foot or eighteen Inches wide. Late in autumn after the ground freezes hard enough to hold up a team, the entire bed is covered over with clean wheat or rye straw. My rale is to cover just enough to hide the soil and plants from view. In the spring after the frost is out al the ground, the straw covering is raked into a light winrow between each two rows ot plants and left there to remain to keep down grass and weeds and prevent the soil from becoming dry. This is all the labor required before the fruit ripens, unless it be to pate over the bed and pull oat a few weeds which may make their appearance. I believe this to be the best system for those who hive jgienty^ot land and on beavr soils. — I i wf* leimry wvb*hbo*b I i CHloeas FaUwre. 1 When a native of China doing buri- * mm goes to the wall a Mandarin saves- i tigatee hie affairs and the result is usual- ' ly about as follows: J “I find that your household expenses have been eight cents per day." “Alas! oh mighty Mandarin, I have , an extravagant family.”. “Year rent has been sixty cents per month.
