SUNDAY, July 30, 1871.
The Weather
is oppresEively hot just now. A hesvy,
sultry, steaminE vapor seems to hsve set
tied permanently yer the face Of this
portion Of the footstool, snd has given
everybody the dumps" A bright day,
no matter how hot would be q relief.
Our Market.
Housekespsrs hsve reason to congratu-
late themselves upon the steady improve
ment il the quality and variety of family
marketing offered by our butchers, and
vegetable and fruit dealers. Last sum-
mer, ana ever as late ss last spring, it
was next 70 impossible to procure the
food in the market for q tolersble meal.
Now We are having q tip-top supply Of
everything-a variety of meats, vegets-
blesi butter, poultry, eggs, fruits, melons,
ETC., q az prices so moderate that the
poorest can afford to Give like lords"
Our market building is q credit 60 the
municipal administration under which it
was built. A commodious, well-arrangsd
structure of brick, conveniently located,
q large cistern below it, sffOrding an
abundant supply of water, the regulations
efficient, but not onerous-Ws certainly
have reason to feel proud Of an institution
which, in other cities, is too often a nui-
sance, instead OF q convenience.
The New Fir Company.
There is now in process of organization
q new ere compsny-Mechanics' No. =
which promises to be one Of the most ef-
fcient in the department. Nh. William
Behen, sgent of the Carolina Insurance
Company (Memphisl is temporary Presi-
dent, and viii probably be requested to
retain the position after q permanent or
gsnizstion.
The Mails i'm Arkansas.
If there is an intolerabls imposition in
the State, it certainly exists In the mis-
management Of postal matters. Papers
and letters are opened, newspaper bags
tossed aside in the bushes, or sold as paper
stock, and every neglect and abuse con-
ceiYsble allowed to go unchecked. Col.
Is Rue Harrison, q special agent Of the
Department, is now making a tour Of the
State, and doing his utmost to bring
order out Of the chaos now prevailing,
and 1t Is to be hoped his efforts will not
be without avail. To politics, as with the
other ills of Arkansas, may these 1rregu-
be traced. A gentleman makes
she statement that he is compelled to re-
eeive his mail matter under VI Of sn-
lther address, to prevent Its being tam
pered With-a nice state Of affairs, truly.

in reference to the black side of

hat he viii come with the news that the
State administration has abandoned its
to foist strangers into Office in

able and faithful, who estab-
ished their claims to recognition in the
days Of reconstruction" The hope
Is vain. Mason may get something else,
he Is ''~dOne.goDen as far SIS that judge
ship is concerned. What tub will be
to the black whale Is not yet
known, but his mouth will have to be
closed, as Cbicot polls g tremendously
srge negro majority.
