Ordinarily. Phil managed an affair and let hls confederates execute it. Bnt in Nova Sco- tia he departed from this prudent custom; and to thls negligence he owes his detection.
 Jack Rand, one of his accomplices. was born Tn New Hampshire where he exercised the trade of locksmth. He began his career of crime with stealing $500, for which he suffered two years imprisonment
 Alter the expiration of his term, he figured Tn the robbery of the Portsmouth Bank. and received $7O,OOO as his share of the spoils.- he sent part of it to his father, who being found with some of it in his possession, was ar rested for the crime Jack, not altogether for getiul of the obligations of son, confessed himself the guilty party to the police He was imprisoned, and his father set at liberty; but the rascal made his escape in about four months. At Concord he was arrested for larceny, He got out again; and in New Jersey this modern Jack Sheppard committed heavy wharf rob- oery: They caught and imprisoned him, and Tor the third time he broke iail He was. how ever, recaptured in Philadelphia, and .sent back 10 New Jersey, where he was acc ssf 5ted in some unexplained manner.
 Dlsgusted with the States, he went to Cana da with Stanley, and the two travelled up and down the St. Lawrence. Steamboats, expres- seS' etc., were the theater of their operations one tune they attempted to steal box con- talhln9 SoO,OOO in gold dust, but failed Phil was arrested for the attempt but was discharg- ed Tor want of competent evidence The last of this dabolcal trio is Bell Smith. whom we may regard as the servant or rather slave of the other two.

question has now been again endangered bv this wanton act of tvranuv-a tyranny which has sought to interfere in our elections which has expounded the law contrary to the intent of the maker, and carried the exposition thus made to the judges of the election at the point of the bayonet--which has thwarted the admihlstratloh ot the local officers and has now cohsumm ated Its designs by openly trampling under loot the laws of the territory and placing the power Of the government in the hauds of those who boldly proclaim their intention to abolish all law and plunge the territory into all the horrors of anarchy. .

For the Arkansas True Democrat THE SLEEPING CHILD.

BY GEO. J. SUMMERS. She sleeps in love, a folded rose; Genius sits on her peerless brow, And dreams that bcget sweet rcpose Come stealing OCT her gently now. She dreams of her far childhood's home, And the kind hearts she there will see, Where of yore she was wont to roam In maiden fancy wild and free. Of her mothers sweet loving eye, While sitting on her fathers knee, Her little sisters pratte by, In childish sport so merrily. She murmurs low, glad refrain, Like soft airs rustling in the trees, And sweet as the nghtingale's strain, When borne on the soft balmy breeze. lis a pleasure to see her thus Dream so sweetly and sleep so well, Purer and more sweetly beauteous Than the pearl in its ocean shell. Angels! l pray ye, guard her we'll, Make her life bright as starl light gleam- It's rising hope, its parting knell, Soft as her sleep sweet as her dream. N0Jile, 4labama.

The Worst of all the Isms.

'Don't talk to me about your political 'isms.'" said a tacetous old yaetudInarian, "I tell you there's no ism on earth so bad as Rheumatism" :" The venerable sufferer was right. St. LAwrence's 5rdlron or QuatlmoZen's pallet of fire was not more emphatically bed of torment than the couch of the martyr to Rheumatism It is ge- neraily considered by the faculty one of the most obstinate well as one of the most pain iu ot all maades, and 1t certainly does resist all ordinary remedies with extraordinary perti- naclty. Skill and science, however, in this age oi progress seem to master all opposition, and even this painful disease entrenched among the muscles, and uterknit as it were with the sin ews and tendons of our frames, is compelled to yield to the curatives they have provided
 We have it on unquestonable authoritv- the testimony of patients themseves-that Rheumatism, however deeply seated, may be cured by the regular and persistent application of HoIloway's Ointment. This, we feel assur- ed, will be welcome intelligence to thousands of sufferers, bed-ridden by the disease or limp ing with sttfened joints along the pathway to the tomb. In climate where the quicksilver sometimes makes a leap of thirty degrees up or down, the complaint is of course prevalent one, and in our new settlements of the west
 along the aluvial borders of our great rivers, m the hemlOck swamps of the south and in all low and damp locations, few persons reach the age of forty years without a rheumatic visitation. It Is clear, therefore that prepara- ton which will afford immediate relief, and effect eventually a thorough cure of the com plaint, must be of especial value to the people of this country. We cannot reasonably doubt
 in view of the el-attested statements which have been laid before us, sustained as they are by circumstances within our own knowl ledge. that the ointment referred to will effect that ob- ject, and among all the benefits which the dis coveries of that celebrated physician and phi lanthropist have conferred upon mankind, this Is certainly not the least important. Many an industrious tiller of the soil whose services are needed in the field, is at this moment languish- ing on bed of sickness the hands that should guide the blow or grasp the spade rendered powerless by rheumatism. Many a toiler in every branch of productive labor is similarly situated, and we can imagine with what joy these sufferers would hail the means of imme- diate cure. To all such we feel justified in recommending this balsamic remedy, the ap- plication of which, with the aid of few doses of Holloway's Pills to regulate the internal or gans, would, we feel assured, restore them to health and usefulness.

MRs. CUNNINGHAM AGAIN.-The New York Evening Post of the 30th ult has the follow ing report of proceedings inthe Supreme Court, on that day:
 Mrs. Cunningham appeared in court this morning and gave recognizances to appear be- fore the General Term on Monday next, the first day of November term, and every day thereafter, until the court shall decide whether she is to be admitted to bail until the event of the trial on the indictment found against her. George A. Wilt and H. T. Potter became her sureties in the sum of S5,OOO each At the suggestion of the district attorney they were re- qulred to justify in court or Monday next.
 MT. Chatheld having been asked by the court whether he had any motion to make, stated that he intended to make one to admit the defendant to bail, but had not had time to prepare himself. He should also move, at the proper time, to quash the indictment against the defendant on the ground that the evidence was wholly insufficient to prove the crime The court set down Monday next for hearing of both motions.

0S1F The way of the transgressor is hard eventually. but too frequently turpitude es- capes punishment by society, and is permitted to enjoy the wages of sin by preserving hair breadth margin within the law. Public opin- ion Is then called upon to vindicate correct prin- ciples We havea case in point-Dr. M'Lane's justly celebrated Vermiluge and Liver Pills, manufactured by Fleming Bros. of Pittsburgh, Pa, have been initiated; and the wrappers and labels gotten up by Fleming Bros. at great ex- pense have been so closet initiated as to rea- ally deceive the casual buyer, yet preserving sufficient distinction to permit the author to es- cape the penalty of an infringement of the copyright law. We deem it right to call the attention of the public to this fraud, and would advise all purchasers to examine the wrapper of each vial or box and see that it is signed Fleming Bros. without whose signature it can :. not be genuine.
