@. K. Underwood, of the Shield,
celebrates the thirty-seeond anniver-
sary Of his papers existence by a fe-
rOeious assault upon Governor Had
ley. In fact the political cauldron is
seething In Arkansas, and Brooks, Of
Little Rock, and the staunch RepnblI-
can editor Of Helena, are both said
to be aspiTants for Hsdley's place.
Underwood denies the soft impeaeh-
ment, but with very bad grace, In
view Of his terrific assaults upon poor
Hadley, who is charged with gross
incapacity and remissness In the dis
charge of duty when an armed
drunken mob for days held pos
session Of Lake Village. II the
dominant party in Arkansas
do no more than select Underwood as
their leader, Arkansas may well re-
ioice, and we may confidently hope
for the restoration Of freedom and
peace throughout that despOticaIly
~governed State. Underwood is of the
DECENTRALIZATION school of political
thinkers, while his rivals are psalm
singing carpet-baggers. II seems very
probable that the intelligent voting
population Of Arkansas, whites and
blacks. win fnally unite in support Of
Underwood

Dispatches from Washington and

In addition to this, General Hum

ants together, and, after consul
tstion in the capital, dispatched
them TO inspect all the coast and har-
Dor deiences and report Immediately
their condition and what will be nee
essary to put them In a state Of de-
fence. General Abbot, commanding
the battalion Of engineers for the con-
s%truetion Of tOrpedoes, has also been
summoned TO Washington; and mat
tiers have eyen gone so far as for an
expression to be made public that the
administration and the officers prefer
the torpedo plan devised and carried
out by the Austrian government. The
man who was lifted by war from a
bar-room to the White House, and is
threatened with an action of eject
ment, naturally looks to hOnors won
in war with an e6ete monarchy like
that Of Spain to maintain his position.
Il Is q little curious that Grant is not
content with the war he is waging in
South Carolina and Louisiana.

BECAUSE Of the character Of men
who have represented southern States
for some years past In congress, north
ern members Of that body have be-
come accustomed to assume in debate
and even in social intercourse with
southern senators and representatives
that offensive patronizing air and
manner so insufferable in social inter-
course that when even suspected gives
origin to ~incurable, unappeassble an
imosities. Not long ago a loyal north
ern senator INDUCED In this semi-apol-
Ogetic strain when he understanding
ly replied TO a speech Of Senator Al
corn. Those who know this gentle
man will not be surprised to learn
that he resented the ~insolence of the
offender promptly and effectively.
Not only has the South lost caste in
halls Oflegislstion because Of the pita-
BILE ittleness of its representative and
because Of means employed by these
adventures to gain official position,
but because northern congressman are
accustomed to deal with these States
as with Indian territories. A south
ern senator is esteemed &c potent and
respectable az the old Mormon who
used to represent Utah, and the south
itself is only a plsything Of politi-
clans, used, as parties are now organ
lied, to give strength to one by its an
tsgonism and weakness to the other
by its adhesion to it. If the south,
with one voice, urged Grants re-elec-
ton, he would be defeated by a mill
lion majority. Such, however, is
Grants inherent weakness and con-
unhtness for the place he holds
that he may be defeated despite the
hostility of the south.

Sc chaos is come again."
In the Louisiana house Of repre-
sentatives yesterday a bill was pre-
sented authorizing Red River parish
to issue twenty thousand present
bonds for a jail and courthouse. 1t
was introduced by Dewes, Of De Soto
parish. Stanton, OF Bossier, charged
that the bill was a fraud, that thirteen
thousand dollars had already been
collected for these purposes but ap-
propriated to other purposes than
the erection of a Jail and courthouse.
DeWes said that Stanton lied, and
that Stanton knew he lied.
Brown, another member, said that
Stanton was justified in making the
the charge. When this discussion
commenced Worrel raised a point of

euss the bill until the senate was or
ganized. The house decided that the
point was not well taken. After the
discussion had reached this point

be well taken. After the house voted

River railway, at their meeting a few
days ago at the Peabody hotel, elected

contemplating the completion Of the
work, may not be begun Immediately.

THE New York Herald, which Is
supposed to derive its inspiration
from Grant, says that a country like
Spain that is obliged to borrow a king
from another country, is not fit to
govern provinces and dependencies
on the American side Of the Atlantic.
This is the first newspaper expression
OF sympathy with the President and
is designed to pave the way for the
p~Opularizstion Of a foreign war.
Spectators, shOddyites and place
holders will be well pleased. The
multitudes must throw up
their hats, pay enormous taxes and
bow in stupid alteration before
the majesty Of a military master.

THE South may be strong enough
to elect, but not to defeat Grant. Il
is the South's hostility TO Grant that
makes him omnipotent in the North.
Radical politicians fear to desert
Grant lest they may be pronounced
''rebels." Grant cOmprehends the
situation and does everything
possible to embitter the South against
his administration. He can well az
ford to alarm Northern statesmen by
overthrowing State governments in
the South, il, at the same
moment, he may induce the
to inveigh bitterly against
his misdeeds. He is at the bottom of
troubles that disgrace and impoverish
Louisiana, of which the shameful de-
tails are given in our Geographic col
Umns. Everywhere in these States,
IL Grants agents can beget them,
there will be riots, disorders, violence
and confusion. The moral effect in
the North is advantageous to Grant.
1t is the South that begets the sOlidity
and potency of Northern Republi-
canism and thus thesupreme potency
and invincibility Of Grant.

TIE Democratic members Of the
general assembly Of Ohio cast their
vote for Hon. George W. Morgan for
United States senator. A letter was
read in caucus from MI. Pendleton
asking that his name be withdrawn,
and, therefore, the votes cast for him
were against his expressed wish.

D1ssoLv1Na BONES IN CAUsTIc LYE.-To
accomplish this it is necessary to break the
bones into fragments and pack them In a
tight. shallow box with an equal weight OF
good sound wood ashes. Mix with the
ashes, before packing, twenty-five pounds
of Stacked lime and twenty pounds of sal
soda, Carbonate of soda, to every one hun.
dred pounds of the ashes. The box in
which to conduct that process may be made
of rough boards, but it must be tight, and
it should not be over eighteen inches deep.
1t may be as broad as necessary. The bones
should be packed in layers; first upon the
bottom a layer of ashes, then layer of
bones, and so alternately until the box IS
filled. About twenty gallons of water must
be poured upon the heap. Chat is, for every
one hundred pounds Of bones) to saturate
the mass, but more may be added from time
to time to maintain the permanent moisture;
In three, four or six weeks, the bones will
be broken down completely, and the whole
may be broken up together, after adding an
equal bulk of good sifted soil. This COM
post is of the highest efficacy, as it embraces
quite all the great essentials Of plant food,
namely, potash, soda, lime, phosphoric acid
and the heterogeneous element. This is
very convenient way for farmers who have
ashes, to dispose of their store Of bones. Ii
plenty of ashes can be procured, it will ia
ciitate the decomposition of the bones to
employ twice as much ashes as there are
bones the solution will be effected sooner
and more perfectly.

Trust to the Future.

Trust to the Future though gloomy and cheer
less,
Prowls the dark Past like ghost at thy back
Look not behind thee; be hopeful and fearless
Steer for the right way, and keep to the track
Fling off Despair-it has strength like giant
Shoulder the purpose, and, boldly dehant,
Save to the Right, stand unmoved and unplan.
Faith and God's promise the brave never lack
Trust to the Future; the Present may fright
thee,
Scowling so fearfully close at thy side;
Face it unmoved, and no Present can blight
thee
He who stands boldly each blast shall ablde.
Never storm but the tainted air needs 1t,
Never storm but the sunshine succeeds 1t;
Truth is beacon-light which ever leads
Rightly who takes it and makes it his guloe.
Trust to the Future il stands like an angel,
Waiting to lead thee, to bless and to cheer;
Singing of hope like some blessed evangel,
Luring thee on to brighter career.
Why should the Past or the Present Cypress thee?
Stamp on their coils, for, with arms to caress
thee, ~; sssI
See the great Future stands yearning to bless
thee;
Press boldly forward, nor yield to a fear
Trust to the Future; it will not deceive thee,
So thou but meet it with brave heart and
strong;
Now begin living anew, and believe me-
Gladness and Triumph will follow ere long.
Never night but there cometh morrow,
Never grief but the hopeful will borrow
Something of gladness to Tighten the sorrow;
Life unto such is a conqueror's song!
Trust to the Future, then cease from your weep
ing;
Faith and a firm heart are all that you need
God and his angels have yet in their keeping
Harvests of JOY if we sow but the seed
Trust to the Future-all life will be glorious;
Trust--for in trusting the soul is victorious;
Trust-and in trusting be strong aud laborious;
Up and be doing, and give God the need !

No MoTHER.-What volume of sorrow
full truth is comprised in that sentence-no
mother. We must 60 far down the hard
rough path of life and become Injured to
care and sorrow in their sternest forms, be-
fore we can take home to our experience the
dread reality-no mother-without strug-
gle and tear. But when it is said Of a
frail young girl, just passing from childhoo
toward the life Of woman, how sad the
story summed up in that one short sentence.
Who now shall bear with the errors and
failings of the motherless girl?
Deal gently with the child. Let not the
cup of her sorrow be overflled by the harsh
ness Of your bearing or your unsympathiz-
ing GOODNESS. Is she needless of her doing ?
Is she forgetful of her duty2 Is she care
less in her movements? Remember, ''she
has no mother"
