History of the Plough.

The first plough is supposed to have been the rude branch of a tree, cut so as to have ascleft end, the point of which dragged along tho surface of.the ground, scraping furrow, into which seeds were thrown. It soon occurred to the husband man that he might relieve his own labour by yoking an animal to the long arm of the primitive instrument, then handle had to be fixed to the back, so that the plough might be guided. The strength of the animal soon wore away or broke the cleft of the branch, and the necessity gave rise to the invention of moveable shares, first of wood, next stone, copper or iron, worked to shape adapted to the cutting of the soil so as to avoid the excessive la bour arising from the ploughman's having to lean with all his weight upon the plough, to press it into the earth. Just such an implement as these ccnjectures indicate, was used by the Saxons.
 Some of the facts connected with the history ofthe plough arc almost incredible.
 In Ireland there once prevailed custom of "ploughng with the horses tail" The draught pole was lashed to the tail of the horse, and as no harness was employed, two men were necessary, one to guide and press upon the plough, and the other to direct the horse, which he did by walking backwards before the miserable animal, and beating on the head or either side, ac- cording to the direction required. This custom prevailed for considerable time, in spite of law which was passed in the early part of the 17th century, imposing severe penalties upon persons guilty ot ploughing by the horses tail,' us in the ] act mentioned and described. From the Rev. Caesar Otways, Sketches in Erin and Tyrawly," it appears that the barbar- ous practice fingered in the remote west of Ireland as late as the year TAO.
 And from a peper "On the Breed of Horses in the Ancient Times" printed in the first volume of the Transactions of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, we find that the same customs was practised in that country as late as the year l792. i Ky

sy-The Radical newspapers quote

sy-The Radical newspapers quote Tennyson's line
 "one stiu, strong man in q blatant land" to illustrate Grants position in relation to the people of this country. It is rather an apt illustration of the estimate which the Radical politicians put upon the free peo- pie of these United States. It is the same as if they should say to the people, us they have said before, "You are herd of voting cattle. We are far above you, and only care for you just to get your yotes.' The Radicals think that this is a blatant land;" but Grant is "stiV, strong man" only so far as those words are applid to whisky Chicago Times.

The CITIZEN is presented to the people of Arkansas as large in form as any Dem ocratic weekly in the State. Although independent in all things, and neutral Tn nothing, it is emphatically
 FAMILY NzwsFAFaE. And now ranks as one of the first in the State. The greatest care will be taken to make it's selections choice and instructive. A new feature will soon be added by pub fishing a story each week, or if too long, running it through two or three numbers. The political complexion of the Citizen is white-opposed to negro suffrage and a score of other Radical tenets, and while opposing them shall advocate the principle that white men should rule white men.
 In times of great political danger every man should take paper, and it is more than probable that the present year will witness more political excitement and ex- traordinary political events than any pre- vious one of our nationality. Let the people assist the CITIZEN by joining in and making up clubs, and they will there by render it powerful auxiliary in their warfare against hateful negro suffrage and the many other evils the Radical party design thrusting upon the State

measures from us. The State which
have the honor in part to represent
is largely indebted for her prosperity
to German and Irish immigrants.
William Penn found very early in his
infant colony that the staid and in
dustr.ons habits of the German fitted
him to be n better colonist than the
Englishman, and accordingly he en-
couraged German families to settle in
Pennsylvania. Their descendants t.
this day constitute the bulk of tho
population of our most populous ooun-
ties in the eastern part OF the State.
And nowhere, not even in England,
Germany, or Belgium, will you find
better farms or better farmers than in
those counties. They have built up
substantial homes for themselves, and
have lent their wealth and influence
TO the internal improvements Of the
State. They have furnished us a long
succession of Governors and many dis
tinguished Legislators and public men
in every department of the Govern
mentj and the German emigrants Of
our day is all the sooner Americanized
for being brought into contact with
such descendants of the fatherland.
fla better population can be found on
the face Of the whole earth than the
Pennsylvania Germans, | know not
where it is to be looked for.
And the Irish have contributed
largely also to our material wealth /;
they have built canals and railroads
for us, and have done very much of
our mining and farming. 1t is not
true that they are a turbulent or dis
affected population when they have a
chance TO gain Livelihood by labor.
1t is only when they are denied this
opportunity that they become disor.
derly.
The development of the resources of
our mining States and the wide and
fertile lands of the West afford ample
fields for the labor Of all the Irish and
German emigrants. Let them come
and be naturalized and assimilate, the
faster the better, with our nationali.
ties, and, when they go abroad under
our passports, let us see that all ma
tions, great and small, respect and
treat them as American citizens.
If this bill, or the substitute now
offered for it by the honorable gentle
man from Rhode Island, Mr. Jenckes, ]
and which / like better than the orig.
inal bill, for it contains the principle
of my amendment, shall accomplish
this end, it will not be more than we
owe TO our millions of adopted citizens,
and we may feel after we shall have
passed it that we have to-day done
the State some service.
