A WORD ABOUT NEWSPAPER ARrIcLEs.-A

A WORD ABOUT NEWSPAPER ARTICLEs.-A celebrated French writer, remarkable for con cseness of style, apologies for the prolixity of letter to friend, which he had made rather longer than usual, by saying, that he had not time to write shorter one.
 To say much in few words, is certainly a great excellence, and at the same time great difficulty in composition. The mind naturally dwells on a strong conception, views it on every side and expresses its variety of lights in great a variety of words; but the amplifcation of a sentence, though it may add to its perspicuity, diminishes its force, as the scattered sunbeams diffuse only gentle heat, but are able to burn when collected in focus.
 We are frequently in receipt of communica- tions which we would take much pleasure in publishing had the writers condensed them as newspaper article should be condensed- h letter, especially to one of the opposite sex, writer may be gossippy, dffuse and yer bose, but newspaper article should be terse and concise. Our correspondents will please note this.

JOHN VAN BUREN--THE STRAY DOUGLAS JOHN VAN BUREN recently said, in a convivial speech:
 "Well, gentlemen, there is one family has got back safe into the democratic party to stay for life. It is the Van Buren family; and if Sena- tor Douglas only knew the long, dreary road he has to travel the deep, roaring streams he has got to swim his horse over, the dark, stormy nights where the wind will blow down his tents, and he will be forced to sleep on the ground with the rain pouring on him in torrents, the high, steep and rugged mountains he has got to climb the interminable deserts where there is no wood nor water, he has got to cross, in the road he has taken away from his fathers house. he would, in my opinion, take the straightest chute back into the democratic camp"

DEATH OF AN OLD CTTIZEN.-We were pained to learn on Tuesday morning last, of the death of Major William Gentry, on the evening be- lore, at thes residence of his son, William C.. Gentry.
 Major Gentry had been resident of this county for over thirty-five years; and had &C., quired considerable property; was man full of years and of the respect of his neighbors. He was in town on last Monday week, and told us he felt unwel; but apprehended no serious consequences. When wesnext heard from him, he was considered by his physician beyond hope of recovery. He is dead; and useful citizen has passed away.-Arkadelphia Hav-
