LITTLE ROCK.
| Special to the Appeal
LITTLE RoCK, November THE cleo
| ton is passing quietly. A deep sleep has
fallen upon the saloons, and the Brindles
and Minstrels are not enthused. The
passives remember the Kilkenny csts and
look on wisely and long for the coming
day when the disfranchised will sweep
the State from border to border. The
Democrats feel no interest, excspt in
hurling from power the present corrup-
tionists. The Brindles are in the ms jority
two to one, but the Minstrels have got the
count. The Minstrels are determined to
get the count, failing il which, it is
thought they will charge fraud on the
Bsindles, pending the settlement OF
which, Governor Hsdley will appoint the
officers OF the city government. It is
doubtful If the returns will be given to-
night, as the judges are uncertain as to
the testPOlicy.
Alsrge crowd OF negroes are around the
third ward polls, threatening to throw
the judge in the river if a correct count Is
not given. l. is thought the Brindles
have carried the election by two-thirds
vote.
SECOND DISPATCH.
Hslf-psst IL O'Clock, p.m.-Returns
from the second ward give Catterson,
(Bundle-tsD), lO9 to Hartmsn's 80. Hart
man, (Minstrel), is the present incum-
bent. The other wards will not be heard
from tonight. The whole Brindle-tsil
ticket is elected by two to one. The
Cstterson men charge that some three
hundred Brindle names were taken from
the list, thus lessening the msjority.
Grest fears are expressed that the judges
who are closeted will reverse matters.

A Beautiful Incident.

Tho following beautiful story is
worthy to be laid up ip the memory
of every one '.e
A poor Arab travelling in the des-
ert met with spring Of clear, sweet
sparkling water. Used as he was
only to brackish wells, suoh water as
this, appeared to his simple mind wor-
thy Of monarch, and filing his leath.
ern bottle from tho spring, he deter
mined to 90 and present ITO tho caliph
himself. = -. :
The poor man travelled long way
before he reached the presence of his
sovereign aud lXid his humble offering
at his feet. The caliph did not des.
piso the little gift brought to him
with 50 much trouble. Flo ordered
some Of the water to be poured into a
cup, drank it, and thanking tho Arab
with smile ordercd him to be pre-.
sented with a reward. ...'
The courtiers around pressed for
ward, eager to taste the wonderful
water but TO the surprise Of all, the
caliph forbade them to touch single
drop. ..' 80. =.
After tho poor Arab had Quilted
the royal presence with liz ht and
joyful heart, the culiph turned to his
courtiers and thus explained bis con.
duct "During the travels; of tho
Arab" snid he, "the water in his
ieathcrn hotlle became impure and
distastcful. But it was an Offering of
love, aud as such [ have received it
with pleasure. Bnt I we'll know that
had suffered another to partako OF it,
he would not have couccalo his dis.
gust {; and therefore | forbade you to
touch the druught, least the hoart of
tho poor man should have been
wcundod"
Tho act Of this caliph was worthy of
Christian gentleman. Read the
story over again, think nbout it and
try to remember it when some one
simpler ~inded than you are exposes
bib ignorance while doing you a SER
vice. If you laugh and make sport

yourself are neither a gentleman nor

For some timo past the public

striking characteristic, and that is,
utterly devoid Of point.
The proclamation is based upon the

Outside of the general tono of the
proclamation and the spirit that

mark that We consider it entirely un

imputations upon them as his procla-

taken in his estimate of the character
