BOOTS AND SHOES.
True e o on o m y
Is POUSD IN THE
EUREk A BOOT

TIME FIRST PREMIUM AT THE GREAT
l. st. Louis Fair for 1869 was awarded to the
manufacturers ofthis beautiful boot. 1t COM
bines all the utility OF the sewed boot with the
cheapness of the pegged boot Its constrac-
ton is in this wise; instead of pegs, peculiar
shaped brass screw is driven into the sole when
damp, and smoothly and securely cinched,
thus holding the soles and uppers together so
tight that they can never rip or give way.
They have all the smoothness and elasticity of
the sewed boot, and none of the disadvan-
tages attaching 10 the pegged boot. We sell
the pegged boots; thus We furnish you with
something that is indeed economical We
have fresh stock of all kinds of Boots and
Shoes for ladies, gents, misses and children;
also a fine line of shoe ornaments, which we
will sell at wholesale and retail.

In cotton buyers and sellers are yet wide

yesterday amounted to but SOC bales. ON basis
Of 22@2214c. for middling. Holders are firmly
of the opinion that better prices will rule be-
fore the season is over; while buyers, per con-
ira, think there will be little If any change
none for the better. Both find reasons for their
speculations the first in the fact Of heavy
short interest yet unsatisfed, and the latter
that the receipts continue at all ports far in
advance of those of last year. Meantime our
market is ct a stand.

TftE DnMoSRAT1c VtcroRY OF ARkAEsAs.
The Democracy of Arkansas have done well.
They have elected Hanks, good and true man,
in the Helena Congressional district, over the
notorious Logan III. Rootes, a bitter Radical
proscriptive. In the Pine Bluff district, Sny-
der has defeated Rogers, the Democratic nomi-
nee, who ought to have been successful. In
the Fort Smith district, the Democrats elected
Edwards Union soldier, over Boles, another
proscriptive Radical. Thus our friends in Ar
kansas have secured two Congressman out Of
three, and only lost the third by the unpopu-
larity of their nominee. The contest for the
United States Senate will be close. At last ac-
counts. the Senate of Arkansas stood seven
Democrats to nine Radicals, and In the lower
branch of the Legislature the Democrats have
secured forty-three members and the Radicals
thirty-nine. Thus the Democracy have the
lower, and the Radicals the higher branch OF
the Legislature. On joint ballot, the Democ-
racy will have fifty votes, and the Radicals on
" forty-eight. This is doing very we'll in a
State where the greatest outrages were perpe-
trated as to registration in some counties, and
in Others registration utterly denied the people.
We shall be surprised if the great victory in
Arkansas has not only defeated the Senatorial
aspirations of Gov. Clayton, but of Senator
Mcdonald besides. If there should be any
election of Senator of tho United States, the
Democracy, having majority, will doubtless
make it effective in securing man OF their
own choice-Mempais Sun.

STAMPS FOR 6LD DEEDs;!fhs Charleston
Republican calls attention to a matter OF Inn,
,portance to many persons, viz: the stamping OF
documents issued without stamps during and
since the val, contrary to law. The difficult
ties in the way of getting such documents le,
rally stamped have been removed by recenf
Change in the revenue laws, and the penalty for
previous noncompliance with the law has been
reduced. 1t is now only double the amount Of
stamp duty, but can be, in no Case, less than
FIVE dollars. The Collector Of Internal Reyen-
ne has power to remit this penalty, when due
cause is shown to him before August !, 1875, Or
within one year after the document was issued.
AS the sole value depends upon their being
drawn up and issued in strict compliance; with
the letter of the law, holders Of dnstamPed doc
uments should attend to this matter while the
penalty is 90 light: The Republican says fur
ther: -,
"Whers an INSTRUMENT, required by law to-
be stamped, was issued unstamped at a dGme,
when, and place where;. no collection diBtrict
has beer established it is lawful for any party
having ain interest therein to stamp it himself.
prior to January LIST, 1872. As, however, the
rates of stamp duty have BeeN several times
changed, parties would do Welt 10 Consult tho
Collector Of Internal Revenue Before afaxins
stamps to such instruments" .s

MILLIONS AND B1LLIoNs.-How few stop to
dwell upon the immensity of millionsl Few
people have any more idea of what millions,
billions and trilliOns are than they have of the
style of brogans worn by the cobblers who in
habit the moon. A million Of one-dollar bills
possesses O vastness that is rather startling to
man that has never faced such q pile. To
count this sum at the rate of one thousand five
hundred dollars an hour, and eight hours
day, it would require man to work nearly
three months.
If the said dollar bills were laid side by side,
they Wonld reach three hundred and seventy
two miles, while their transportion would re-
quire more than an ox-team. If million be-
comes thus overpowering in its magnitude, what
shall we do with larger sums? The seconds in
six thousand years seem almost incaIculable,
and vet they amount to less than one-hfth OF q
trillion. Aquadrillion of leaves of paper, each
the two-hundredth part of an inch in thick
ness, would form q pile the height Of which
would be three hundred and thirty times the
moons distance from the earth. Suppose
man to count one in every second of time, day
and night without stopping to rest, to eat, TO
drink or to sleep, it would take thirty-two years
to count billion, or thirty thousand years to
count trillion, even SIS the French understand
" Those who inconsiderately y round off the
number of millions that stand for the amount
of our national Indebtedness have very limi-
ted idea of the amount involved in it. Much
good would result if moro thought could be
brought to this subject by all creating liabili-
ties, but especially by those National, State
and City representatives who are intrusted with
the power and authority of disbursing public
moneys, OF, rather, with the authority OF inyol,
wing taxpayers in debt. There is an old
proYerb that says Familiarity breeds con-
tempt" and it is as true in the use of short
words covering immense sttms as IL is III its So
oial significance.

WoMANLy MoDEsrY.-Man loves the mys-
terious. A eFoudless sky, the full.blown rose.
leaves him unmoved, but the violet which
hides its blushing beauties behind the bush, and
the moon when she emerges from behind a
cloud are to him sources of inspiration and of
pleasure. Modesty is to merit what shade is TO
figures in painting-it gives it boldness and
prominence. Nothing adds more to female
beauty than modesty; it sheds around the coul- n.
tenance halo oflight, which is borrowed fresH
virtue. Botanists have given to the rosy mo no
name of amaiden blush" This pure and DEB
icate hue is the only paint Christian virgins
should use; it is the richest; ornament, A 4 wot
man without modssy is like fla faded ed flower, lower
the nrndent gardener will throw from him.
Her edestfAy is melancholy, for it terminates in
shame and repentance: Beauty passes hEethe M .
flower of the albo, which blooms q and dies .sa, IN
acter charms which supply the place of the
transitory freshness of youth.
