HUNTING IN ARKANSAS. Wild beasts
of the forest still hold sway in their an
Gent retreats in many parts of Ark
ansas. Every Autumn and Winter
hundreds of votaries of the profession
of Nimrod the Ancient forsake civilized
life, and equipping themselves with a
few necessaries and the customary ar
maments of the trapper, not forgetting
pair of faithful dogs, produced to
the wild woods and swamps of our
neighboring State, vulgarly call Crack
ensack," and there spend several
months in hunting and trapping the
abundant and valuable game. Squir-
rels of all kinds, foxes, opossums, rab-
bits, deer, raecoons, and fur bearing
animals abound in great numbers in
the many vast, pristine forests, which
in that sparsely inhabited State have
as yet scarcely heard the ring of the
woodlands axe. In the ponds, lakes,
bayous, and in the great focks of wild
ducks, geese and swans are found.
The noble turkey and shy partridge
are also to be had, though the former
is rapidly becoming scarce. Immense
focks of pigeons also have their haunts
in the interior of the State. These
animals and fowls afford the hunters
plenty Of amusement and food, and
usually a handsome reward for their
Winters work.-Memphis, st. Louis
and New Orleans are great markets
for wild game. 1t always commands
renumerative prices. AS an instance
of successful limiting in Arkansas, we
give the following: Mr.. VIM. Archer,
assisted by friend, captured, last
week, one bear, four deer, four dozen
squirrels and two dozen opossums.
He sold the lot to a game dealer in
this city, who paid him $32 for the
bear, 81 piece for the deer, So per
dozen for the ducks, 80 per dozen for
the squirrels, and IS per dozens for
the opossums. Memphis Post.

TUNNELING THE DELAWARE. An en-
gineer writing to the Philadelphia
Press, proposes that instead OF bridg-
ing the Delaware river between that
city and Camden, it be tunneled, and
the two cities thus permanently con-
nected. This plan, he says, would cost
less money than bridging, v oald always
be practical, would not interfere with
the navigation Of the river, and neither
city wonld have its front spoiled by
large abutments and entertainments to
carry the spans for the bridge. The
tunnel could be construct d of large
cast iron pipes of oval shape, with
fianges on the ends so they could be
bolted together, just as they do cast iron
steam pipe. The bottom of the river
could be t]rodged out with q dredging
machiue, and the pipes being laid and
bolted together, would want no mason
work about them. The entrance, or
uile hloutilOi tAe tiihbel, couiu ne some
where about Eighth street in Philadel-
phia, and abont the same distance from
the water front in Camden There
could be double track, and footway
on each side, with landing at each
square from Eighth street to the river,
with spiral stairway Or an elevator,
and one at the bar, or what is called
Smiths Island and these landings
would answer for ventilation. The tln-
mel could be lighted with gas.

" Always BE PLANTING a TREE =
Considering the cost, and small amount
of labor there is no one thing that so
amply pays as the planting of tree.
Well grown, it becomes an object Of
beauty, a source of joy to the owner
and his family-a pleasure to visitors
and to the residents of neighborhood
adds an appearance of increased
value to the premises-improves the
general effect Of the scenery-becomes
protection from cold winds-reduces
the severity of the temperature--en-
hances the rental value of residence,

costly building, and finally, can never
be viewed without thought of the
supreme creative Power which "doeth
all things well. -Horticulturalist

THE ELIZABETHANS.

In concluding these essays on the
Literature of the Age of Elizabeth, let
us pass rapidly Ill review the writer's to
whom they have referred. And first
for the dramatists, whose works-in
our day on the dissecting tables of criti-
ciSm, but in their own all alive with in
teilect and passion-made theatres Of
Elizabeth and James rock and roar with
the clamors or plaudits of mob, too
excited TO be analytic. OF the profess
sors OF the science of human nature we
have attempted to portray the fiery I'M
agination that flames through the fus-
tan az animal ferceness of Marlowe
the BLUFF, arrogant, and outspoEeu jon
SOB, with his solid understanding, caus-
tic humor, delicate fancy, and undevia-
ting belief in Ben the close o5serva-
ton and teeming mothor-wit which
found vent in the limpid verse of Hey
wood Middleton's sardonic sagacity,
and Marston's envenomed satire the
suffering and the soaring and sing
ing cheer, the beggary and the benig
nifty, SO quantity united in Dekkar's
vagrant life and sunny genius Web
ster's bewildering terror, and Chap
mans naughty aspiration the subtitle
sentiment of Beaumont the fertile,
flashing, and ebnllient spirit of Fletcher;
the easy dignity of Massinger's think
ing, and the sonorous majesty of his
style; the fastidious elegance and melt
ing tenderness of Ford and the one
souled, myriadminded" Shakespeare,
who is transcendently beyond them all.
Then, recurring to the undramatic
poets we have 'endeavored to catch q
glimpse of the Fairy Land OF Spencer's
celestialized Imagination and touch
lightly on the characteristics of the
poets who preceded and followed him E;
on the sternly serious and ungenial
creadveness of Sackville the pensiye
thoughtfulness and tender fancy of
well-languaged' Daniel the enthu-
siastic responsiveness Of description and
pure, bright, and vigorous diction of
Drayton; the sententuous sharpness of
Hall the clear imaginative insight and
dialetic felicity of Davies the meta
physical volnptuousness and witty un-
reason of Dome the genial, thought
well-proportioned soul of Wotton the
fantastic devoutness of Herbert and
the coarsely frenzied common-places of

Our CRY. - It is matter Of remark
amoug our citizens and constant Won
der with strangers, that Elizabeth, with
a population of $4,000, should be so
quiet and orderly that there should be
SO few arrests, and those only of tri-
vial nature. This, however, is readily
accounted for. We have more church
es IN proportion than any other city
in the State, all of which are well at
tended-service in one or more being
held daily our people are intelligent,
prosperous and happy; our public
schools cannot be approximated to,
while our seminaries and institutes en-
ploy none but first class talent employ
ment is afforded to all, consequently
we are not afflicted with street loafers ;
we have magnifcently paved streets and
avenues, well-lighted by gas at night !;
we are protected from destructive con-
fagrations by body Of noble-hearted
men, who man. powerful hand and
steam engines while last, but not
least, we have police force, which as
body, has no superiors. Chief Keron
enjoys the honor of perfecting this or
ganization which has become a terror
to evil doors. 1t is true weak-minded
man may occasionally be found making
explorations in the gutter, or it may be
that sharper from the virtuous city
of New York will make hurried visit
to our city, and attemptto pass coun-
terfeit check, but this is about the ex-
tent of the crimes committed here
In the present police force may be
found quite q number of soldiers, and
we point to them with peculiar pride.
Generally they are assigned to the posts
of honor and danger, and full well do
they attend to their duties.
The police of to-day are credit to
our growing city, and feeling this, they
strive to maintain their dignity and
prestige.
To those wishing to engage in bust
ness we would especially recommend
Elizabeth place enjoying more adj
vaatages, Socially and otherwise) than
any place we have ever heard of. Pos
sessing excellent water facilities and
abundant railroad communication, our
city has no equal for manufactures or
residences.
The business of the city has doubled
within two years, and it will not be
long ere every foot of available land on
Broad street and Elizabeth avenue is
converted into places of business. We
shall welcome every mechanic who will
come among us. The people are now
(since the establishment of the DAIIY
MoNIToR) realizing the Importance of
patronizing our own tradesmen, and
without THISno place can hope to sue
coed.

mate a candidate for Councilman.
The same managers who have run

all the ward meetings. whether any of
them resided in the wards where the
nominations were to be made or not,
were still on hand with their :" cut

all these ward meetings, that the up
town Democrats are always on hand,
circulating freely among the people.
and, Of course, influencing the selec-
ton of just such men as suits their
own notion.
The meeting being called to order,
Mr.. J b Cox moved that r. s.
Sproule be called to the Chair, and
Mr.. Louenstein chosen Secretary.
Mr.. Sproule stated the object of the
meeting, and thanked his friends for
the honor conferred on him.
Whittlesey then put in nomination
Mr.. Henry Stockfeth, and stated that
be felt sure Of his election if nomi-
mated, aud that he hoped he would re-
ceive the nomination without opposi-
ton.
On motion of Mr.. John Travis. Mr..

Mr.. Sproule was then called for,
and madea few remarks, after which,
on motion of Mr.. Whittlesey, the
Convention adjourned to meet at
Slockfeth's grocery. for the purpose
of congratulating him on his good
fortune in being nominated. What
transpired there, we are not able to
