Henry Ward Beechcr preached a sermon not long since on the subject of matrimony. He said: "Many men get wives, and get with them the itch and cursed religion. Canaan is now everywhere where Mammon is God. Where there is goddess household there is the land of Canaan. When a man gets good wife he wants nothing more in life. Marriage is q thing not to be rushed into, but cautiously, riligi- ouslv, and discrcetly performed. Some people get married out of bounding passion, but he never saw one that was glad. The men who do so have a wretchcd time oft, but what kind of a time must the women have? Mar riages should be founded upon quali- tics that will last, rather than upon the mere ties of affection. When man founds household, it ought to be done upon moral grounds. He that marries a woman first, and thinks he can change her religion afterward, knows little of human nature. Many who hang their ambition upon those above them, think ing that they will draw themselves up thereby, often find themselves mis- taken. He would recommend all, therefore, to go back to the land of their fathers, to take partners for life from amoug their neighbors, and al- ways ofthe same denomination" The church was crowded, and now and then, during the sermon, there was a suppressed tittering among the women.

STATE NEWS.

The following is circular from the office of the German Immigrant Aid Society for the State of Arkansas:
 LITTLE RocK, Sept. 27th, 1867.
 As there are indications of emigra- ton from all parts of Europe, and es- pecially from Ireland and Germany, a number of citizens of the State of Ark ansas have organized an Immigrant Aid Society, at present to be called "The German Immigrant Aid Society" for the purpose of advising and assist ing such immigrants as may choose the State of Arkansas for their future homes, and with the further purpose of explaining the resources and advanta- ges in which this State, in preference to others, offers to immigrants.
 From such parts of the State, where immigration is desired, information in regard to the soil, climate and products of the localities, also all offers of lands to be donated, as we'll as for sale, with a brief description of the samc-and suggestions from friends of immigra- ton, here and abroad, will be grateful ly received. Such persons throughout the State, as desire to become members of the above Society, will please send their names, addressed to tho under signed.
 All newspapers friendly to the pur- pose of the above Society, are respect fully requested to give their valuable aid by means of gratuitous publication of this circular.

A Coop JoKE.-Not many months since an officer with more gold than prudence was coming over the Vest ern and Atlantic railroad After he had taken a seat in the car at Chatta- nooga, pretty young lady, accom- panied by her servant girl, took a seat immediately in frout of the officer. Gallant as he was brave, he soon got up conversation, which was indulged in by both parties with considerable zcst. As the cars were approaching tllc long tunnel, the officer blandly ex- claimed to the lady, T am going to kiss you as we pass through the tun- nel." 'No you are not, sir" was the spirited reply. The train by this time was entering the tunnel, and it was becoming quite dark; the lady, with woman's inventive genius, devised a plan to trick the officer. She slyly changed seats with the thick Tipped negro servant girl. When about half way through the tunnel. quite q hustle was heard, together with mingled ex- clamations of cntreaty and remon- strancc. Tn moment the light came streaming in, and the lady, appearing somewhat concerned asked what in the world was going on. The simple hearted negro remarked: ''Dis white man kissed me in de dark! !" The laughter which succeeded this an- nouncement can be better imagined than described. The son of Mars re- tired precipitately amid a shower of huzxas.

GREAT PEDESTRIAN FEAT.-Mr. Hem ry DeMather, formerly captain in the Confederate army, under Gen Sterling Price, went to Mexico after the surren- der of the southern army, and being of French descent, as his name indicates, took up arms with Maximilian. While in the Confederate States army he re- ceived fonr gunshot wounds, but they did not injure him to any great extent. After joining the Imperial army he re- ceived two more, one of which in the ankle joint, disabling him for life and forcing him to use crutch. Mir. DeMather, at the time of the greatest trouble in and about Vera Cruz, decid- ed to return to Memphis, but being without means it would have heen ut terly impossible for a less courageous man to have succeeded. To will and te do were the same thing with liin. Taking his crutch he started on foot. and in just l45 days this energetic man, with his many battle scars, arrived iu the Bluff City, having made in that 3,l90 miles, being little over an ayer ' age of twenty-two miles per day; sew enty-four hours of this time he was on one of those extensive plains so num- erous in Texas. without either food or water.

PLANK ROAD THROUGH THE BOTTOM. It will be seen by reference toa letter from Dr. Parish that Gen. Ord has granted authority for the construction of plank road from Auburn, on the Arkansas river, to the Bartholomew. This is an enterprise in an unexpected quarter, and bids fair under proper management of being a success. We hope this may give stimulus to oth- CT enterprises of a similar character so much needed on other routes through the bottom.-[ Monticello Guardian.

CIoPs.---It is safe to say, considering all the attending circumstances, that Jackson county farmers have raised better crops--cotton and corn--this season than they have for many years. Corn was never known to be better, and for the number of acres put in cotton, the yield will compare fayora- bly with any previous crop for many years. Almost every farmer has raised enough corn for his own consumption. if properly taken care of. Let this be done by all means. Don't be depend ent upon the merchant for your bread, but rather let him be dependent upon you. Try and change the old order of things, by becoming the producer in- stead of the consumer. Act the part of wisdom and save what you have la bored so hard to produce.-(Jackson- port Herald.

On Tuesday, the sd inst, in ac

- On Tuesday, the 2d inst, in ac- cordance with an order received at the Washington Arsenal, by General Ram sey, commander of the post, from Gen. Grant, Secretary of War, the bodies of the assassinators and conspirators, and of Henry Wirz, the Andersonville jail- or were removed from their graves and reinterred in another portion of the grounds. This removal was rem dered necessary by projected improve ments in the arsenal grounds. The body of J. Wilkes Booth was buried in what was known as the ware room of the penitentiary building. It was en- closed in an ammunition box. After the grave-was filled up with dirt, the brick flooring was replaced. The burial having been accomplished, the windows were boarded up and door made secure---Secretary stanton taking the key with him. The key was kept at the War Department until few weeks ago, when it was returned to the arsenal officer, on receipt of orders for the removal of the bodies, includ- ing Booth. On Tuesday laborers were at once set to work, who soon ac- complished the taking of them from their graves before mentioned, and carrying them into the Government warehouse, where trench was dug a few feet from the north wall In this trench the bodies were placed and se- cresy enjoined, But few persons arc aware that the removals have been made. It would seem from this fact that the Government does not intendto give up the body of Booth to his rel atives. The bodies of Booth, Payne Harold, Atzerodt Wirz and Mrs Surra.t were placed in common grave.

 NEGROES TO BE IMPORTED FROM AFRICA. --The New Nation, the lead ing Radical organ in Virginia, in it's issue of Sep. 2l, thus intimates, that if necessary. negroes will be imported from Africa to continue 'sthe domina- ton of radical principles" It says:
 And if necessary, the fugitives in Canada, who escaped from slavery, and the suffering emigrants now in Hayti and Liberia, will help to make this domination of republican principles. Yea. we would oyerturn Africa right into America if necessary, and these ick-lippcd fat-nosed, woolly -haired people that now swarm those sunny shores be brought hero as Irishmen from Ireland, and in the same time be fitted just as well for the responsibili- ties of citizenship. All these instru- mentalities we would put under con tribution willingly and without reserre before we would see the old times of slavery return. There are to be estab- lished emigration societies, to induce foreign emigration here and for polit- ical purposes VIC must concede these societies to bccstablished. There fore, claiming, "what is sauce for the goose. should be for the gander," we shall have the same instrumentaiities at work, importing Africans at Savannah while Irishmen at New York"

A Flowery Auctioneer.

There is an auctioneer in the North of England whose announcements rival those of the famous Robbins, who talk cd of e'the litter of the roseleaves and the noise of the nightingale" This man is named Donkin, and he carries on his business at Newcastle, but he does not sell by auction. On the con- trary: By virtue of commission which conSers upon him the privilege of exercising the functions of the agri. cultural hammer, within field so full of pleasant memories and Northumbri- an associations,v he will dispose of thirty six West Highland bullocks, two short-horn heifers, and fifty fat sheep" Nor is he ashamed of his climax He dilates upon it-poetically:
 "Repetitions," he says, upon the cx- quisite flavor of tho beef ofthe K yloe OK, in all the richness of it's full matu- rity, would be an unpardonable tautol- igy in the car of the family butcher, whose stall is a standing poem upon tuc Stoiics oI aiuefHiaitic rcpdsts.
 Nor does he end here. He gives his reasons for indulging in these flights of fancy:
 "A dry catalogue here might have done; but to see without emotion and an exclamation of surprise selection from the native herds of the straths of Argyle, frightening by the elegance of their majestic forms and highly-polish- cd condition, would denote soul as dull as the fat weed that rots on Lethe's wharf"
