 Col. JOHNSON: There is something rot ten in our mails between this office and Little Rock. The True Democrat is pub lished on Wednesday, and if mailed ill due time, would get here Saturday evening It has done so until about six weeks ago, since which time we get 1t Tuesday follow ing, coming from Memphis, Boston or some port, certainly not from Little Rock, for that IS wea of us. We will feel under asting obligations to you if you will assist us Tn fereting out the rotten place in Den, mark, the miserable wanderings and blum derings of our mail matter in going the dis tance of one hundred miles. This is the ninth day since you issued the number now due, and no True Democrat yet We look forward to the arrival of the great demo- craic organ, with too much interest to brook such unaccountable delays. The fault must either be in the post office at Little Rock or at White river. l believe it is general ly known to post masters that we have a tri- weekly mail route from Little Rock to Helena, oN Me may 6y land, in stage coaches at that. Therefore we cannot conceive the necessity that prompts the post master to send our papers around down White river to Memphis, via Napoleon, thence back to Helena, and to the city of Trenton. If our bundle of thirty True Democrats is so small as to be overlooked, we will try and in- crease it to 50 or 75. Please stir up the delinquent post-masters with a long poll or with postmaster general Holt

OUR PLAN THEN Is-

l. To make war (openly or secretly, as cir cumstances may dictate upon the property of the shareholders and their abettors-not for it's destruction, if that can easily be avoided, but to convert it to the use of the slaves. If it cannot be thus converted, theu we advise its destruction Teach the slaves to burn their masters buildings, to kill their cattle and horses, to conceal or destroy farming utensils, to abandon labor in seed time and harvest, and let crops perish Make slavery improbable, in this way, if it can be done in no other.
 ,. To make shareholders objects of deri- sion and contempt, by logging them when ever they shall be guilty of fogging their slaves.
 3. To risk no general instruction until we of the north go to your assistance, or you are sure of success without our aid.
 4. To cultivate the friendship and con. fidence of the slaves; to consult with them as to their rights and interests, and the means of promoting them; to show your interest in their welfare and your readiness to assist them; let them know that they have your sympathy, and 1t will give them courage, self-respect and ambition, and make men of them-infnitely better men to live by, as neighbors and friends, than the indolent arrogant, selfish, heartless, domi- neering robbers and tyrants who now keep hoth yourselves end the slaves in subjection; and look with contempt upon all who live by honest labor.

The European Comnlications

The intelligence by the City of Wash
ington continues to point to war as the
most probable development Of the diplo.
matte crisis in Europe. The reassurinr
statements, recently made by British Min.
isters in Parliament, have been eypl,iucd
away officially, and it turns out that the
report concerning the willingness of
France and Austria tC cvacuate the Papal
States, has no better foundation than n
plous wish to tnat effect, expressed by the
Pope to these Powers. Nothing had trans
pired to indicate how either Power would
proceed, but a rumor at Paris said that the
French would withdraw. This rImor. we
presume, is as grOundlcss as those that
have Just been contradictcd. The conGi-
tlon OF the Withdrawal of the French from
Rome and Clita Vecchia, is that of the
AuSJrians from the Legations, and. accord.

evacuation Of Lombardy. Admitting weak.

The Tariffs of Foreign Countries.


A return has Just been issued by the
British Chamber of Commerce of the al.
teTtlols made in Tho tariffs of foreign
countries during tho year ending August
lst 1898, from which an accurate idea can
be gained Of the turn of legislation with
reference to the development Of trade and
commerce during the year. The only
change in the tariff of Russia has been an
ADDITION OF five per cent. upon all articles
! OF import and export, except sugar. Swe-
den has made most important reductions
IN nearly every article, the average de.
| crease being about 40 per cent. Cutlery.
earIhcnwarc glass, hides, saddlcry, piece.
goods and metals are among the princi-
pal items affected. Gunpowder which was
formerly prohibited, is now admitted at a
duty OF about id per 10, On small pro-
portion OF articles, the duties have been
increased, among which are indigo, pre-
served food, salt, some miscellaneous kinds
OF cotton and wool, manufactured tobacco
paper, and spirits, the latter especially
beng augmented nearly 9j per cent, SO
us to bring it to IS lOYd per gallon. The
expectation Of cast iron and COPPER ore,
which was formerly prohibited, is now al
lowed. lE the export duties reduction
on oncthlrd has been made in the various
descriptions Of unwrought, sawn, or hewn
wood, while there has b, en- an increase of

MARY BROW
Br L. y. WELLS.

She duelt where long the wintry showers
Hold undisputed sway,
Where frOwning April drives the flowers
Far down the lane Of May.
A simple, rustic child of song,
Reared in chilling zone,
The idol Of household throng--
The cherished one Of home.
None sang her praise, or feard her fame
Beyond her natiN town.
She bore no fancy name,
Twas simple Mary Brown.
Her eyes were not shining black,
Nor yet heavenly blue,
Thes might be hazel, or alack!
Some less poetic hue
Indeed mind me, long ago,
One pleasant summer day
A passing stranger caught their glow,
think he called them gray.
Yet when with earnestness they burned
Till other eyes grew dim;
Their outward tint was ne'er discerned--
The spell was from within.
A novelist, with fancy's pen
Would scarcely strive to trace
From her a fairy heroine
Of machless mein, and grace,
AmOdel for the painters skill,
Or for the sculptor's art
Her form might not be called; yet still
1t bore gentle heart;
The while it fOndly treasured long
Loves lightest whispered tone,
In other hearts she sought no wrong
She knew none in her own.
Though never skilled in fashions school,
To sweep the trembling keys,
Or strike the harp by studied rule,
listening throng to please;
Yet still when anguish rent the soul,
And feyer racked the brain,
Her fingers knew that skillful touch
Which soothed the brow of pain
And widow thanks, and orphan tears
Had owned her tender care,
While little children gathered near
Her earnest love to share.
might forget the queenly dame
OF high and courtly birth.
Descending from an ancient name
Among the sons of earth
scarce recall the dazzling eyes
Other, the village belle,
Who caused so many rural sighs
From rustic hearts to swell;
let never can cease to own
While future years shall roll,
Thy passing beauty, Mary Brown
The beauty Of the soul.
