How it was Done in Arkansas.

How it was Done in Arkansas.
The recent brawls in the House at
Washington remind us Of story we
heard in Arkansas, several years since,
which has never been in print. It is
no disrespect to the present enlightened
and genial State of Arkansas to say
that in It's incipient or Territorial days
it was rather trough" It was very
common thing for a man to leave tho
bosom of his family in sound health in
the morning, and be returned dead at
night. Cuttings, slashings and shoot
ings were of daily occurrence. It was too
dangerous to be safe. The Legislature
was chiefly composed Of bullios and
blacklegs, and the scenes enacted by
them were often very eccentric. A fight
arose about something in ''the House
one day. The Hon. Mr. Bangor, Of
Napoleon, called the Hon, Mr.. Slanger,
Of Helena, liar. The Hon, Slangor
retorted with bullet, which took the
Hon. Dangers left ear. Both then
sprang into the centre of the hall with
drawn bowie knives. The Speaker said,
"by Cd we must have fair play in this
businessI" and rushed out on to the
floor with a cooked pistol in one hand,
and a tremendous "tooth-pick" in the
other, and in tones of thunder com
manded the Representatives to form a
ring. A ring was formed, and, in the
classics of the time, the combatants
event in" They cut each other fright
fully, and for quite a spell it was diff
cult to decide which was the better man
But finally Bangor, by an adroit thrust
cut off Slanger's head, and instan
death was the result Mr. Slanger's re
mains being removed, and order rcstor
ed, Mr. Bangor arose and said; 1T il
my painful duty to announce to thi
House the death of Hon. VIM, Slangcr

Presidents Message.

TTho following is the message Of James
Buchanan, protesting against an invos.
tigation by Congress as to whether
money, patronage or any other improp-
or means had been used by the Prosi.
dent or any other officer Of the govern
ment, to influence the action of Con-
gress upon any measure, or to carry the
elections in any of the States:
"To tie House Of Representatives,
CATER a delay which has afforded me
ample time for reflection, and after much
and careful deliberation, 1 find myself
constrained by an imperious sense Of
duty as coordinate branch of the
Federal Government, to protest against
the first two clauses of the first resolu-
ton adopted by the House Of Represen-
tatives on the 9th inst, and published
in the Congressional Globe on the sue
ceeding day.
The clauses are in the following words:
First, "ReSolUed, That a committee
of five members be appointed by the
Speaker, for the purpose Of investigat-
ing whether the President of the Unit
ed States, or any officer of the Govern
mout, has, by money, patronage or other
Improper means, sought to influence
/ the passage of any law appertaiuing to
the rights Of any State or Territory,
and
Second "Also to inquire into and
investigate whether any officer or Off
GERS of the Government has, by combi.
nation or otherwise, prevented or at
tempted to prevent or defeat the eXecu,
ton Of any law or laws, now upon the
statute book, or whether the President
has failed or refused to compel the exc,
cution Of any law thereof.
81 conGne myself exclusively to these
two branches of the resolution, because
the portions of it which follow, relate
to alleged abuses in the Post Office
. Navy Yards, Public Buildings and Other
Public Works Of the United States.
"In such cases inquiries are highly
proper in themselves, and belong equally
to the Senate and House, as incident tC
their legislative duty, and being necos
sary to enable them to discover and pro
vide appropriate legislative remedies 70,
any abuses which may be ascortained
Although the terms of the latter por
ton Of the resolution are exremel,
vague and general, yet my sole purpos
lin advorting to them at present is tt
make the broad line of distinction be
tween the accusatory and remedia
clauses Of this resolution.
"The House Of Representatives pos
sess no power, under the Constitution
over tho FIRST, or aocusatory position OF
, the resolution, except as an impeachini
body, whilst over the last, in common
with the Senate, their authority as

A Novel Case--Too Young to Marry
Yet

Yet.
The Cincinnati Press states that a no
vel case of habeas corpus, involving Gu
rious and important questions Of lay,
was tried before Judge S. M. Moore, of
the Circuit Court, Covington, KY, re-
Gently. A resident Of that city, named
VIM Ross, a short time since became
enamored with his step. daughter, Mar
garet Coleman, who reciprocated his af-
fections and a marriage engagement was
the consequence. But the afiauced pair
found that their relationship was among
the degrees prohibited by the laws Of
Kentucky. But the river was easily
passed. and once in Ohio, the restraints
of law would be emoved-marriage be-
tween blood relatives alone being pro-
hibitod in that State. They accordingly
visited Cincinnati, were united in mat
rimony, and returned home rejoicing.
The friends of the parties, however,
were dissatisfied with the nuptials, and
determined to separate them.
The girl being a few months under
twenty years of age-the period of

the time Of her marriage having been
under the guardianship Of a man nam
ed Hall, but who had resigned as soon
as that event had taken place, a guardi-
an named Elisha Coleman, a relation Of
the lady, was appointed for the occa-
sion, aud a writ of habeas corpus was
eued on Ross, commanding him to pro-
duco his wife before Judge Moore, and
show by what authority she was detain-
cd by him. The proper evidences Of
the marriage were produced and the
fact that she was moro than eighteen
years Of age, which concluded the peri
cd Of her infancy at the place where the
marriage was solemnized, were produced
in court, The attorneys for the guar
dian claimed that as the parties were
residents of Kentucky, a marriage else
whore, to ovade the laws Of that State
was null and void,
The judge sustained this position
nullifed the marriage, and gave the lady
into the custody Of Mr. Coleman.

BooUETs.-Tho following recipe for
preserving boquots for an indefinite pc
riod, may be useful to our lady readers.
When you gather a boquet sprinkle it
lightly with fresh water; then put it into
"a vessel containing some soap-suds
which nutrify the roots and keep the
flowers as bright as new. Take the bo-
quet out Of suds every morning, and
lay it sideways, the stock entering drst,
into fresh water-keep it there a minute
or two, then take it out and sprinkle
the flowers lightly by the hand with wa
ter. Replace It in the soap.suds, and
it will bloom as fresh as when first gath
cred. The soap-suds need changing
every three or four days.
BY observing these rules, q boquot
can be kept bright and beautiful for at
least q month, and will last still longer
in a very passablo state But these at
tontions to the fair but frail creatures,
as directed above, must be strictly OBJ
served, or the last rose Of summer will
not be left fading alone, but all will
perish.

APPEARANCE OF JAPANESE WOMEN.
Tho first impression of the fair sex
which the traveller receives in a Japa-
neso crowd is in the highest degree un-
favorable; the CHASTITY appearance of
the faces and bosoms, thickly coated
with powder, the absence of eyebrows
and the blackened teeth, produce a
most painful and disagreeabe effect
Were it not for this abominable custom,
japanese women would probably rank
high among Eastern beauties, certainly
far before Chinese. All the Japanese
writer's whom I have read upon the sub
iect affirm that to have no eyebrows
and black teeth is considered a beauty
in Japan, and that the object of the
process is to add to tho charms of the
fair one.
