battlefelds Of the South;]
He lies where armies once were banking,
Countless as sands the ocean standing;
Marching, marching ill haggard and worn,
Till their ranks by hunger and cannon shorn,
Till that army Of unnumbered braves

phople are compelled to obey the
carpot-bag constitution. BY this in
strument no person in the State Of
Arkansas, without having previously
taken the oath prescribed for cleo
tors, shall engage in any Of the lines
Of business enumerated, viz: prac-
tice law, practice medicine, preach
the gospel, teach school, act as steam
boat captain, as pilot, as mate, edit
or publish paper, run a ferry-boat,
keep q toll bridge, keep billiard sa-
loon, keep saloon or restaurant, act
as auctioneer, as a mail contractor,
do no mercantile business, shall not
carry arms, shall not keep stallion
ANY person violating any Of these
wholesome provisions shall be deemed
guilty Of felony, and shall be pun
ished by imprisonment in the peni-
tertiary not less than two or more
than ten years. Here Is a fine field
for the plunderers. The white peo-
pie Of Arkansas will have to pick up
their " traps" and come over to Dem
ocratic Mississippi. We are push
ing aside Capitalization and imperi-
alism. The first step has been taken
in the great wrong and resulted tri-
umphantly. The early whisper ap-
pals the advocates Of arbitrary pow
er; in November il will swell into
the outcry Of indignant millions, and
then false issues and false men will
be entirely shaken of; the laws

lection Of all, and the Constitution

spect that II commanded in our bet

ONIONS AND PouIrRy.-A gen.
tleman who has considerable expert
ence in, raising poultry, says scarcely
too much can be said in praise Of
onions for fowls. They seem to be a
preventive and remedy fos various
diseases to which domestic fowls are
liable. Having frequently tested
their excellences, we can speak un-
derstandingly. For gapes or inaam-
nation Of the throat, eyes and head,
onions are almost a specific. We
would, therefore, recommend giving
fowls, especially young chickens, as
many rs they viii eat as ofien as
two or three times q week. They
should be finely chopped. A small

Support Your Home Paper.

eminently worthy Of consideration.
1t will suit this meridian as we'll as
any other:
Whatever patronage may be ac-
corded to the city journals, whether
on account of their cheapness or the
general" news they contain, the
importance Of sustaining "home pa
pers" should not be overlooked. As
the medium for local transaction, and
for furthering some interests, their
value can hardly be overestimated.
The following article, from the Cleve-
land Herald, presents the question in
its true light: 1--WE know Of nothing
that Is more disheartening tothe pub
Usher Of country newspaper than

year, and contains twice as much
reading as yours does when the
receipts Of one week Of the Office
named above would be double the
yearly receipts Of bis county paper,
and when, IL the foreign paper were
published seventy years, it would not
result in as much benefit TO himself
and country in which he lives ss
would q single weeks edition Of bis
own county paper. Rocollect, If a
home paper is 70 be supported, home
influence must do il. Every dollar
sent to the Eastern paper is at the
expense Of the local paper. A coun-
ty acquires prominence through il
papers more than any other way, and
to every one who has county inter.
ests at stake, his home paper Is ne
cessity. Never will such a man tax,
