EDITORS APPEAL-There are ALWAYS
little incidents occurring in a Presiden-
tal contest not Immediately connected
with the main issue, but which are,
7 nevertheless, worth notice and remem-
branee. In the lull and suspense, while
we are waiting to hear Pennsylvania
and Indiana decide, let me call atten-
ton TO one Of these. Governor Harris's
letter suggests and contains it. 1 do not
wonder he felt indignant at the imputa-
ton cast upon him by johnson concern
ing the school fund. Nothing could
more completely exhibit the essential
meanness Of johnson than this thing.
If W any man had cause TO be proud
Of honorable official action, Governor
Harris might even be paTdOned much
boasting concerning the manner in
which he guarded and preserved this sa-
cred trust. Il is well known that
his name was not a loved and hOnored
one on the national side during the
war. Indeed, II was Il Of the best
hated mes during that period Of strife
and hate. But / think I am safe in
saying that when il became known how
honorable had been his conduct in this
matter, there was not an intelligent
HAANANAAAAAA WIN AAA AAVL lEEL
that Governor Harris had completely
reversed the standing he had previously
had in his estimation. II is worth while
TO recall some Of the circumstances of
bis position. He was supporting a cause
% which he had devoted his whole soul.
His State might be said TO have ceased
to exist behind him. The cause needed
every mite that could be gathered from
every sOurc Of contribution. Would
any M have much wondered if he
had found arguments to justify himself
in using this fund to support the strug-
gle which was taking all energies and
all resources? That he did not shows
that his mind was pervaded and con-
trOlled by the lofuest sense of honor. Il
shows also that he had great
and resolution to protect
and preserve this treasure where
il was so much needed, and while, /
doubtless, great efforts were made TO

The friends Of the Independent can,

about Jobnson's policy toward the
South, Immediately after the surrender.
They are fond Of holding up to the ad-
miring gaze Of those who still have
faith IN the arch-demagogue, what they
are pleased to term the self-sacrifciue
spirit be exhibited in our behalf and for
4 welfare. They are fond Of repeating
the story ofhis wrestlings with Congress
for power as 50 many struggles in de-
Tense Of the Southern people. This is
one Of the bubbles they keep ahoat In
the low atmosphere in which he and
they growl their diatribes against all
who oppose them. Let US see if we
cannot puncture that just as we did the
bubble Of his popularity. When the

POPE COUNTY.
Settlement Of all Difficulties by Judge

From the Little Rock Gazette Of Wednesday
Notwithstanding the Journal and thos
who stand behind it have done all il
their power to force a conflict in Pop,
county which would necessitate a decla
ration Of martial law there, and de
nOunced Judge English and COlOne
Clark as MINISTRIES for conserving 10 visi

peace, we are happy to state that tn,
glad tidings reach US of a settle.
ment of all the troubles. DOdsOT
has not only resigned as Sheriff, but
himself and HickoX have declined the
minstrel nominations for Sheriff and
Clerk Of the county. The militia are
TO be disbanded at once, a new man is q
be sent to the county as Sheriff, Circuit
Court will progress with business
as formerly, and everything viii be
quiet. General Upham, Lieutenant
Groves and about eight members Of the
guards came down yesterday. We do
not have it officially, but understand
the above is the basis of settlement.
Judge English and Colonel Clark will
be down to-day This settlement re-
moves one of the Journals serious OBJ

waited until doOmsday. The fact is,
but for the violence of Brooks, Hynes,
the Journal, etc, these difficulties would
have been settled before.
From the Pine Bluff Press.l
LITTLE Rock, October 2, 1872.
To Wyatt c. Thomas:
New state ticket out. Andrew Hunter at
the head. Gazette takes down BrOOks's ticket
and hoists the Other. See tO-day's paper.
J. n. SMITHEE.
The above dispatch has only this mo-
ment been received and all Of our fears
were well founded. The Gazette has
taken down the Reform ticket and
hOisted one of its own. In doing this it
jeopardizes, to the extent Of its now
miserable influence, the success of the
Reform cause in every county, in the
State and in the nation. We do not be-
lieve that Mr.. Hunter will suffer him
self or his name to be used in the way
mentioned. If he desires to forfeit the
universal reverence and esteem with
the people Of the State now re-
gard him, he can do &C. But we scout
even the suggestion. And of the Gazette
and the little handful Of m~alcOntents, in
iuenced by some inscrutable reason,
who are acting with it, what shall we
.hink? For the present we draw over
heir acts the veil Of charity.

Advice to the Girls.

How much more intelligent and fas-
cinating the majority Of young ladies
would be, were they to give little more
attention to newspaper reading. We
do not mean the fash papers of the
day, which are filled with matter which,
if it does no harm, can certainly do no
good, but to newspapers, those which
make us familiar with all the present
Improvements of the age. 1t is well
enough to know something of the
worlds history, but it is with the pres
ent We have to deal mainly, and we
know of no more engaging trait in a
lady's character than an intelligent ac-
quaintanee with passing events. Every
young lady should have an opinion on
the moral, mental, political and relig-
ious subjects of the times, and indeed,
the only way to have this, is to read
good newspapers, diligently, and think
about their contents.

The Cause Of Smau.Pox.

A German physician has lately start
ed the theory that the fearful disease
known as smallpox originates from an
excess Of albuminous matter in the
blood, and that this is to be prevented
by the administration of common salt.
The habits of children in INDUCING
over freely in sweetmeats he considers
one great cause of this undne develops
ment of albumen, and coffee and tea, Il
highly sugared, tend also to excite it in
adults. An organic acid, such as lem
on juice, he considers the best means of
freeing the blood when clogged up with
too much albumen, and he alleged that
by taking these simple remedies in the
way of precaution, he has, for upwards
of twelve years past, frequented or ta-
ken up his abode in the most pestilen-
tial smallpox hospitals of Europe and
South America with entire impunity.
The means of prevention appear Ger
tainly simple, but may be worthy of I'M
yestigatiOn. . 80 ---a -4-- .a-

The bead.

1t is startling fact, that, after all
the bitter tears that are shed over the
last remains of those we love, as the
seclusion of the tomb shuts them from
our companionship and sight, they are
so soon forgotten. In the first agony
of loss, we rear costly monuments to
perpetuate their memory-strew rich
flowers and almost daily visit the mar
row prison house of the loved one. But
soon our tears become less bitter, our
visits fewer, the flowers are forgotten,
rank weeds and thistles grow where
once we nurtured with tenderest care
the choicest flowers; the shapely mound
sinks beneath the. level of the surface,
and seems as though the "body-smtch-
err had been there, and robbed it of its
precious tenant. A sad commentary
on the forgetfulness of man.
The grave yards of this place
fully attest the truth of the forgetful-
ness of the living toward the dead. In
several grave yards, the tombstones can
scarcely be seen for weeds. 1t is foul
blot upon the good name of our town,
and should be remedied. Win not those
who have the power, see that it is done,
A few hours work by each one who has
friend or relative, sleeping there,
would remove the eye-sore.

NASHVILLE, o., June 8, ~.
MIR. EDITOR: Noticing that you re-
receive items from nearly every part of
the county, except this, thought it
might not be amiss ifI'd jot down few
concerning our local affairs.
Nashville has been '!going in'' on inn
provements this spring. Several old
buildings have been refitted besides the
erection of new ones. She also has a
new store. Louis Bechler is the pro-
prietor. The noticeable fact is that he
sells as cheap as any firm on the rail-
way.
Wheat is better than Is generally sup
posed. Indeed, grain of all kinds is do
ing we'll.
The season has been rather backward,
yet spring work is about finished. \
beautiful shower yesterday morning
caused noticeable growth in all vege-
tation. Fruit will be tolerably plenty.
As for the -talked-of railroad,
it hasn't come yet. Once in while
some railroad man comes around and
''gets' up little sensation about it, but
we have concluded not to believe this
"stufiing" until we see the "bull-gine
comm. We are not inclined to believe
railroads are built by mere bursting of
gas-tub. a.
DIR. w. 7. Elder of this place, was
married on the 9Th inst. We approve
of his choice of partner for life. We
hope that their journey through life
may be happy and prosperous one !;
that the sea of life may ever wear a
smooth aud quiet surface, but if squalls
should arise we wish no serious re-
suit. l am truly yours,

Bows and Things.

Small cities, villages and towns are
curse to boys. They are even worse
than large cities, because they present
more opportunities for learning idle
ness and vice. Boys are always lazy
while growing, and if brought up in or
near small city or town are sure to
find other boys who are growing as
themselves and consequently equally as
lazy; and on account of there being
nothing for them to do, they form hab-
its of idleness that last them as long as
they live.
Millersburg has her lazy boys.
We do not blame them. i.f.. -.
Boys cannot help being lszy.
But we do blame their parents who
are supporting them in their idleness.
The old saying of Paul ought to be
applied to such eases
If they will not work, do not let them
eat.
1t would be blessing to some of the
boys in this community to be turned
loose and forced to depend upon their
own efforts for support. Such a cause
would not ruin them, because they are
already ruined as far as useful industry
is concerned, but it might teach them
to be useful, energetic men.
When children grow up to be useless
vicious men and women, people are apt
to attribute their failings to nature.
This is wrong; -4Ea.H
God never created naturally evil
disposed child. Everything that comes
from his hands inspires good, and if
we doubt this, then we doubt the whole
theory Of revealed religion. sac .gsit
A child is placed in the hand of the
parents like piece of clay in the pot
ter's hands, and, like him they can
mould its character to honor or dis
honor, just as they please. Every man
is what his mother made him; when
God placed him an infant in her arms
he had no character, his mind was
tablet, upon which she has written the
life he has to follow when he becomes
man. II parents would think of this
more than they do we wofld not see so
many rude, disobedient children; nor
so many idle, good-for-nothing men and
women. f-..

quite as long. They say it is substan-

being.69 feet at the highest. There is

Strawberries.

Is there more seductive dish on
earth than a plate of fresh Strawberries,
cool, crimson, fragrant, luscious and
melting? Their proper nourishment
seems to be the cream and sugar which
we put into companionship with them
and though. epicures insist that the
strawberry, to be appreciated in its full
flavor, should be eaten alone in its max
ed sweetness, tradition has too init
mately associated with it the cream-jug
and the sugar-bowl, for their charms to
be withstood. May the present seasons
crop continue long to garnish our tables
with its fragrant, picturesque and pal
ate-pleasing wealth.
