ARKANSAS ITEMS.

The citizens Of Clark county are moV-
ing toward the completion of roads and
bridging the various streams in their
Jurisdiction.
The Little Rock and Fort Smith Rail-
road Compa ny advertise for the delivery
of $4,000 railroad ties upon the line OF
the first twenty miles Of the road west
from Little Rock
The Little Rock Republican, Of Tues
day, says: "Work on this end Of the Fort
Smith railroad line was commenced in
in earnest yesterday. Ground was first
broken about two and half miles from
the river bank, and fifty men commenced
the grade. As soon as the proper tools
arrive that have been ordered, five hum
dred laborers will be employed on the
grade, and the work pushed rapidly for
ward. The Memphis company had bets
ter hurry themselves, or the Fort Smith
company will have more miles completed
by January next than they possibly car" "
The Batesville Republican of the 18th
inst. says: "The large and valuable mill
near our town, owned by Judge VIM
Byers, was totally destroyed by fire on
the Sd inst. There was some apprehen-
sion that it was the work of incendiaries,
but it is now thought otherwise. There
was large amount of wheat destroyed
by the fire. The mill was just ready tC
resume grinding, after year or more
delay in effecting repairs and building a
dam. We think there was no insurance.
By this disastrous fire our community at
large suffers seriously"

New YORK, Aug. I7.-George r. Rat
ter, PRECEDENT of The Tennessee National
Bank of Memphis, was to-day brought be
fore Judge McCum il obedience TO a writ
Of habeas corpus, but the examination was
postponed until Thursday. The prisoner
was accordingly taken back to police head
quarters. No requisition has yet been re.
c.iVed from Tennessee.
The case of Bailey vs O'Mahoaey was up
before Judge McCunn to-day on motion
to vacaie the injunction restraining Re,
ceiver Barr from paying over funds in bis
possession 10 any person except by order Of
the court, and also TO set aside the order
appointing receiver.
Mr.. Bailey claims that the purpose for
which the money was collected was aban-
doned aud the amount rightfully belongs
TO holders Of bonds Of The Irish republic on
behalf of O'Mahoney, 1t was urged that
Fenian organization is now more prosper
GUS than ever. The leaders are really
willing to comply with terms and pay
principal aud interest six months after the
recognition of the Irish republic.
The ch ef point, however, on which
. O'Mahoney relied was that the bonds were
issued for an illegal purpose, and that the
bondholders had therefore no standing in
court. Decision reserved.
Application was made TO Judge CardozI
to-day for remission of the imprisonment
portion Of the sentence of Russell Sage
and George 2 Watts, convicted of usury
Decision reserved.
There is not a single case of sickness al

RAMIE.

Mr.. Bacon, Chairman of the section of
Agriculture, in the New Orleans Acade-
my of Sciences. has furnished to the Elk.
position here specimens Of the fibre of a
new textile plant called ramie, together
with manufactured articles from this
material The plant, botanically named
Bahmeria Tenacissima, and belonging,
like hemp, to the Urticace@ or Nettle
family, was introduced into Louisiana
from Mexico, in March, 1867, and is a
native of Java. It had been cultivated
for eleven years in Mexico, and is thus
claimed to have become domesticated on
this continent Attention has been
chiefly. directed, as yet, to its propaga>
ton, and consequently few fabrics have
been produced from this material, except
as specimens. The prepared fibre is OF
pure white, very fine, long and glossy
Handkerchiefs made from it resemble
the finest linen cambria, though more
even, and of silky gloss The shifting
cloth on exhibition resembles fine linen
1t may be regarded as competing with
both cotton and linen, aud as excelling
both in several respects, while possessing
their good qualities.
Ramie is propagated by layers and cut
tings, is vigorous in growth, surviving th'
winter in ATTITUDES where cotton can be
| grown, and is much more hardy than tht
latter. The fibre can be prepared, by ma
chinery, within twenty four hours after
the stalks are cut That sent to the Lon
don market by Mr.. RDezl, in 1865, brough
65 cents pound in specie. 1t is claime'
that the product can be gathered three o
four times year, and average as much a
a crop of cotton.
We learn that there has already been
good beginning made, for so short time
in experimenting with the culture of thi
plant. Mr. Bacon states that there il on
field, within his knowledge, of twelv
acres, and another still larger reported t
him, in which the Ramie is under cuItiVa
ton. 1t is likely to attract much after
ton Observation-Disclosures Commercial.
