INTERPRETATION.

Late advices by the overland California mail
state that the suspected incendiaries are leaving
Northern Texas in large numbers. About 300
wagons belonging to this class are now strung
along the road northerly of Red River. Their
destination is supposed to be Kansas or Nilsson.

ROMAN EYE ~BALsAM-PoR INPLAMED EYELIDs.
The delicate structure Of the eyelid renders It
peculiarly sensitive and liable to disease. When
from any cause it becomes affected, the inner
membrane rapidly infsmes and the eyelid
~evinces the strongest disposition to attach to
itself humors from all parts of the body. Hun
dreds of persons of scrofulous habit are dis6gur-
ed by a rawness or redress of the eyelids, COM
monty called sore eyes, and are tortured with
apprehension of impaired vision, who by using
this Balsam may obtain almost immediate re-
lief. In all cases the earlier the remedy is ap-
piled the better.

Nss.rs. Editors : I see q few lines in your pa
per of the 9th September, taken from the Little
Rock Gazette, stating that starvation stares the
Arkansians in the face; which statement am
compelled to think is incorrect. returned q
few weeks since from visiting a portion Of that
State; and I am happy to say that found Inc
crops generally good. I travelled Town White
River, and thence along the military road on the
north side Of the Arkansas River. / found the
crops very good and I was informed by farm
ers that the yield would be as large as usual
On the Cadron and Point Remove creeks, and
other water courses, also along the upland val
lies, farmers will certainly make more than zone
third of a good crop" When / reached the Hi
nois bayou, I found the crops somewhat injured
by the drouth. Thence I travelled to Van Buren,
crops about the same. Across on the south
side of the Arkansas river, in Sebastian and
Franklin counties, the crops were very light
This was owing, I suppose, to the slate being
very near the surface of the earth, which has a

corn. A drouth of two weeks in that State is
more injurious to crops, than one of four weeks
in South Carolina. The bottom lands lying a.
long the river are generally planted in cotton
and the yield will be abundant-from 1900 to
1000 lbs per acre and the uplands will yield
about 800 lbs. per acre. The corn crop will
yield 20, %, 80, and some lands 40 bushels per
acre. The mast crop is quite abundant-a suf6-
cient quantity to fatten their hogs and p~rairies
are waving with grass for their stock of cattle.
Do you call that starvation? I would like to
know where We are to get our supplies? 1t will
not be in South Carolina, Georgia or MISSISSIPPI

pondent, the Chicago Journal says that
nArtemus Ward" whose humorous wri-
tings are known in the daily papers, is Mr.
Brown, the Local Editor of the Cleveland
Plaindealer. "Artemas Ward, the show
man." is a name assumed by him, though
there is really a man by that name, and a
regular genius in the Show business, who
exhibits wax figures "and secb," and makes
a great deal of fun, down in Indiana
Mr.. Brown is a young man of fine abilities
as a writer. He was "brought up to the
business being a jour printer ''by trade"
and an editor by education. He don't look
like a funny man at all, being "on the con-
trary quite the reverse" but that he is q
funny man none will doubt who have read
his queer "Artemus Ward" letters.
......A good story is related of a conduc-
tor on a railroad, who was a strict church
going man, end was always found prompt
" in his church on the Sabbath. One Sat,
urday evening his train was in very late,
and he did not take his customary amount
of sleep, which, however, did not prevent
his attending divine service as usual. Dur.
ing the sermon he unwittingly fell into a
profound sleep, soothed by the monotonous
voice of the clergyman. All at once he
sprang from his seat, thrust his hat under
his arm, and giving his neighbor in front
a push, shouted, "Ticket, sir" The
startled neighbor also sprang to his feet,
which thoroughly aroused the conductor,
who, looking slldly around, and seeing all
eyes turned toward him, instantly compre.
hended his position, aud "slid," amid asup'
pressed litter from the whole congregation.
