We have been handed copy of the
announcement of Distinctions attained
bv students of Washington and Lee
University, at Lexington, Va, at the
recent Commencement Exercises of
that famous institution, by which we
see that Arkansas is well represented,
and that her sons have made such pro-
ficiency as is doubtless very gratifying
to them, and must be matter of just
pride to their parents and friends.
r. b. Williams, son Of Judge A. B.
Williams, won Certificates of Distinction
in four classes, and also Certificate of
Distinguished Under graduate. The
former certificates were conferred upon
those students who were distinguished
at both the intermediate and final ex-
animation in any class, but had not
completed the entire course. The
latter (that of Distinguished Under
GRADUATED upon those who had attained
the grade of Distinction at both exam

mind him that the ascent grows sleeper
and more difficult and requires increas>
ed exertion and determination as he
approaches the appcx.

G. G'EEN Color IN PICKLES. 1t is
said that to inplrt an excellent green
color to pickles they must first be COW
cred with boiling hot saltwater, and
after a short time the water poured off
and the pickles drained. They arc
then to be put in an earthen pot and
covered with boiling vinegar, the top
on, and the whole kept at warm tenn
perature for a long time, the vinegar
being poured off every day, heated to
boiling. and then turned again upon
the pickles, This is to be continued
until the color is a beautiful green
The vinegar used in this process is then
to be poured off and be replaced by
fresh, and the jar closed tightly. This
method of coloring is perfectly harm
less, although the result is as bright a
green as verdigris.

Coon NEws.-In the Gazette of the

cheering information, which is also
corroborated by private letters from re-
liable parties, received here last night
"We understand that Mr.. Henry G.

which is an evidence that all differences
that heretofore existed have been ami.

CARPETS, DUsT AND DISEASE
An atmosphere impregnated with the
dust which has been gathered in carpets
and remlincl there for considerable
length of time is positively unhealthy.
The dust after being stagnant for soms
time, especially in warm weather, pre-
sents myriads of animalcul@. To pre-
vent the evil the carpets should be
cleaned often. The dust should be
thoroughly removed every month. The
trouble of taking up, shaking, and re-
placing will be amply repaid, first, in
the matter of health, and, secondly, in
preserving the carpet.
We advise the good housewives
there are many-to make a note OF
Home and Health.

A few weeks ago we made some face
tious remark about the Sons of Ham,
who had been holding some sort OF
pow.wow at Little Rock, which the
wiseacre Of the Republican construes
into an attack upon the colored race
That erudite scholar and Immaculate
political jurist, seizes upon the opportu
nity thus afforded him, to go into a
dissertation upon the relative powers,
in debate, of the sons Of Ham and the
conservative members Of the late Leg
islature and pays what he doubtless
thinks high compliment to the com
mon sense of the former body. He
goes on with about quarter Of a col
umn of what he says we tried to i'm
press upon the mind, of our readers.
There was no political Specification
in our remark, and if the editor of the
Republican knows anything about that
English language, of our knowledge of
which he pirates so much, he knows
that no just critic would give it any
such construction. But his chances to
howl about the ku-klux democracy are
so few and far between, that no seeming
opportunity even must be lost. His
egotism is only equaled by the virulence
of his base passionsand desires. Every
opportunity to stir up strife and create
a bitterness between the races, is eagerly
sought after and seized upon by the
Chief Justice, and ia as much as his
bread and butter are derived through
the political support of the negroes,
he espouses their cause. presumes upon
their general ignorance, and the igno,
rance of his northern readers with
regard to the true state of affairs in the
South, and tries to make them believe
that every democrat or conservative is
a KuKlux. Thus he keeps them ex>
cited, and retains their support, if not
their confidence. Feeling his depend
ence upon the negroes, he is not slow
to make it appear to them that he is
their special defender and champion.
He knows full well that we and the
entire democracy of the State are per-
fectly willing to, and do accord to the
negroes the full and free exercise of,
all their rights under the constitution,
as amended, and that there is no way
for him and his party to retain their
power except by keeping up the old
fires of jealousy between the races.
1t is so apparent to the whole crew
that they are sinking beneath the on
ward rolling waves of the righteous in
dignation of all honest men, black and
white, North and South, that already
they are catching, with the frenzied
grasp Of drowing men, at every straw
that floats within their reach. Their
case is getting desperate, and we may
look fs the employment by them of
desperate reme&ss. But the appli-
cation will be too late, The fiat has gone
forth, the people are wide awake, and
the monarchists are already doomed.

CHARITY. Charity is a universal
duty which is in every mans power
sometimes to practice since every de
gree of assistance given to another upon
proper motives is an act of charity;
and there is scarcely any man in any
state of imbecility that he may not,
on some occasions, benefit his neighbor
He that relieves the poor may instruct
the ignorant, and he that can not at
tend the sick may reclaim the vicious.
He that can give little assistance may
yet perform the duty of charity
by inAaming the ardor of others, and
recommending the petition he can not
grant to those who have more TO oestow.
The widow that shall give her mite i'll
to the treasury, and the poor man who
shall bring to the thirsty cup of cold
water, shall not lose their reward.

Recent events in Paris, says a writer
in the Golden Age, have given new
and startling impressiveness to Mac,
aulay's reflections on the atrocities OF
the first French Revolution, that civi.
lization itself may engender the bar
harism that will destroy it; "that in
the heart of great capitals, in the very
neighborhood of splendid palaces, and
churches, and threatres, and libraries
and museums, vice and ignorance may
produce a race of Huns fiercer thar
those who marched under Attila anc
Vandals more bent on destruction thar
those who followed Genseric."

The FouRTH.-Ninety.five years
ago to-day, the representatives of the
United States of America in general
Congress assembled, appealing to the
Supreme Judge of the world for the
rectitude of their intentions, did, in
the name and by the authority of the
good people of the colonies, solemnly
publish and declare that the said colo,
nies were, and of right ought to have
been, free and Independent States.
And for the support of that declaration
with firm reliance on the protection
of Divine Providence, they mutually
pledged to each other their lives, their
fortunes and their sacred honor.
Among the reasons which impelled
them to renounce their allegiance to
King George were the following;
ale has forbidden his governors to
pass laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in their
operation till his assent should be oh.
tained, and when so suspended he has
utterly neglected to attend to them.
He has refused to pass other laws for
the accommodation of large districts
of people, unless those people would
rel;nquish the right of representation
in the legislature--a right inestimabLe
10 them, and formidable to tp'aa,ts only.
He has made judges dependent on his
will alone for the tenure of their offices,
and the amount and payment of their
salaries.
"He has created multitude of new
offices, and sent hither scarms Of officers
to harrass our people aud eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us, IN times Of
peace, standing armies, without the
consent of our legislatures.
"He has affected to render the mill
tary independent Of, and superior to,
the civil power"
And they bring other grave charges
against him;
. ''For quartering large bodies of
armed troops among us.
For protecting them by a mock
trial from punishment for any murders
they should commit on the inhabitants
of these States.
For imposing tares on us withom
our consent.
"For depriving us, in many cases,
of the benefits of trial by jury"
Honest reader, calmly and carefully
consider the above indictments. Add
one more, to wit: He has mspenled
he great writ Of personal liberty,
whereby we become subject entirely to
the will and passion of e military des-
pot, and then say how far the patriotic
utterances of ninety.fve years ago are
applicable to day, to the present situa-
tion of the Southern States and people.

He graduated second in his class in

The republican journals of Arkan-
sas, have been pretty well filed up, of
late, with their glorifcation over "the
divided democracy" But if we are
not greatly mistaken in the material
of which the Arkansas democracy is
composed, we can assure that class of
journals that with them, "the wish is
father to the thought" ifindecd they do
really entertain such thought. The
great mass of the people of the state,
having, in times past, consented to fol-
low the lead of few hot-headed place
seekers, and having had unspeakable
reason to repent Of their folly, are now
determincd to be united in one (it may
be the last effort to reestablish the
doctrine that the people rule. Old
political hacks, and proverbial sore-
heads may just as well shut up-the
people are going to take charge of the
contest, and conduct i ip the manner
which them shall seem bcsHc2lcula-
40 result in the dethronement OF
the peoples enemies and consequent
reign of peace and prosperity.
When the time comes for united ac-
ton, there is no doubt about it, the
people will be united. Little differ
ences of opinion with regard to party
policy, have always existed and will
always exist when plans for a campaign
are being matured; but when the ma
tional convention shall have laid down
IFS platform of principles, and named
its favorites for the high offices of
President and Vice President Of the
United States, we predict, with all con.
fidence that the opposition to radical
ism will be perfectly united upon that
platform and in the support of the
nominees. If then that united effort
shall prove unavailing, we shall
offer our interest in republican govern,
ment for sale very low, and will not be
surprised if we fail to find bidder. !

causing hearts Of affection and love to bleed with
Intense anguish and inexpressible sorrow.
Can earthly friends fully bind up the wounds
thus made? How dark the cloud that shadows
the pathway of the bereaved husband, and dear
friends, in this hour of sadness and gloom. Kind
friends may do all they may or can, but nothing
butthe grace of God can lead the soul of the
sorrowing out of the anguish into which It has
thus been plunged, and fill it with holy, Chris
ian submission to His will. Most deeply do I
'ympathize with my young friend Minor in his
terrible loss. In the high-day of his domestic
happiness, his cup of joy is dashed to the ground,
and cup of sorrow is presented to his lips, from
which he is compelled to drink the bitter dregs OF
anguish.
Not only has tMr. Minor my sympathies, but
those of the entire community are extended to
him. He, as it were, commences life again. The
partner of his joys and sorrows sleeps gently in
death. The voice that cheered him is forever
hushed. The fond smile that was his Joy is gone,
and her presence, that to him his life. is here
no more. But beyond the grave there is a noblers
purer state of being, full of Joy uncouded by
sorrow, and the gentle spirit of Lolita is, trust,
dwelling in the presence of Him who declared
himself "tbe resurrection and the life,'' and at
whose right hand there are joys forevermore. My
prayer is that God may bless my dear young
friend Minor, and all the sorrowing friends IN
This, seemingly to us, untimely death of one so
highly respected by all, and greatly beloved ;
while how sad, especially SO is this bereavement
to him who deeply mourns the loss of a tender,
afectionate wife. May the consolation of Divine
grace be vouchsafed to all. CANDoR.
