Lately, we referred to a newly married
 man as Benedict, and thereupon the learn
 ed editor of the Independent Balance takes us to task and says:
 "There was Benedict Arnold, but no such character as Benedict in Shakespeare S Much Ado about Nothing from which play the name the editor sought to use Is lerived.'
 In the first place, if the man of the Bal
 ance will turn to Webster's Dictionary, he will find that Benedict, with the t to it, is defined as newly married man. Great
 men will differ, and when Webster and the Balance disagree, one is at loss how to
 decide. The play of Much Ado about Nothing" was originally entitled :" Bene- dickt and Beatrix,' and so those names were written. Benedickt" was gradually
 changed to Benedick" and Benedict, '' the last being more commonly used, as
 agreeing with the word {" benedictus" from which the name is derived. "Beatrix" has been softened into Beatrice" The editor of the Balance takes every
 possible occasion to expose his learning, but this time, he was too much in hurry We have great admiration for the genius
 of that editor, and think that the encomium
 passed upon a young lady, just from
 boarding school would apply to him. Said
 her panegyrist: She is mighty smart
 talks high-hown-uses big words and al
 ways puts "mo" to her e lasses" and "po' to her 1" taters''

ELEGANCE IN STYLE.-To those who admire fine writing, free from all vulgaritv or unchasteness, we commend the papers edited by the allies. The Fort Smith Her aid rather Jagged behind the rest, but it is coming out. In its last issue 1t copies the filthy, personal attack from the State Rights Democrat, and calls it ca sharp shot,'- Then it tries it's hand in several places, un- til finally, it turns out the following:
 We can expect but little from the True Democrat, on this or any other subject but filthy slang-for under auspices of the base Swiss, who now controls it, that paper is nothing but the conduit pipe of his venom and mahgnity."
 Chaste, isn't it? Not particle of "slang" about Mat! Nothing venomous or malignant here! We might venture to hint that when people condemn practice they should, at the same time, avoid it. However, we can forgive good deal of such stuff, for we know it is their only weapon. Certain animals when about to be caught, sometimes escape by creating stench. We thought we were hunting weasel-we find that it is very odoriferous animal of the feline tribe.

Late NeWs

The State suit at Marshall, Texas, for the forfeiture of the charter of the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, has been deci- ded in favor of the old company.
 The Paragua> difficulties have been settled. The fleet will now go to Nicara- qua.

Theatricals in Arkansas

Harry Mccarthy and his troupe are at Camden, and the Eagle says that they have been playing to large audiences for week. Mccarthy is a genius, and comes nearer be- ing whole stock company, and first rate star rolled in one than any actor you will meet.
 Moroney and his company are at Fort Smith, and are winning golden opinions and mint-drops. The Times of that city mentions the acting of Mrs. Palmer in the farce of :" The Good for Nothing as '' Our Nan.'' Miss Ada Webb played it here, but not nearly as we'll as did Mrs. P. We doubt if the latter's representation of that character can be surpassed
 We are informed that Messrs. Connor and Johnson have engaged company to perform at Hot Springs during the spring and summer. Histrionics are quite popu- lar in this State

Scraps.

The Fort Smith Times says that the | peach crop in the northern portion of this State aud Missouri is materially injured by the frost. We had severe frosts here last week, but do not think the peaches were all killed.
 The wheat crop in this State is general ly promising From some quarters we have complaints that there was not snow enough during the winter. We presume that the snow is considered an advantage. There is great deal planted and the yield promises to be good. \
 The Planters Cotton Press at New Or leans was destroyed by fire, and 1, 300 bales ( of cotton were burnt.
 The personal liberty bill has been de- feated in the New York legislature. The, vote was 54 to 55.
 Vice President Breckinridge has very sensibly declined public dinners at New York and other points.
 The Washington Star denies that the President has visited or written to Mr.. Sickles
 Wiley Smith, of Pitt county, N. C., aged seventy years, got jealous of rela-- tive of his about the same age, and killed him.
 The largest business ever done in the cotton market on one day, was in the lat ter part of March. 1000 bales were sold for $1 ,000, 900, in the city of N.
