The Fourth on FronChman's

In company with our worthy
Sheriff, j. b. Driver, we mounted
our prancing stccd last Thursday
afternoon, about three o'clock, On
route for Dickinson's Mills on
Frcnchman's Bayou, in tho lower
part of the county, whore We pro-
posed to spend the 'gloriOu6 fourth,
agrccably to an invitation extend
TO US from The hospilabIo people OF
that hospitablo region. Aboat the
same time numerous company of
our bellies and beaux, who most dc
light to "shako " the light fantastic -
also took the road, and, altogether,
a very merry party Of Ooooolans
started southwark. We being at
the staid and dignilicd period fife,
when we prefer comfort and convc-
nioncc, to rapid travel and its atton-
dant inconvcnlcnccs, took things
slowly and made halt for the night,
after fording the muddy waters of
Mud Bayou, and the head waters (or
mud) Of Carson's Lake, ut our hos
pitablo friend L. Boyils, the late
county surveyor. A good nights
rest renovated our frame, worn by
the unwontcd journey on horseback,

Id State OF Arkansas The
warrant for his arrest was quickly
obtained and put into Tom Escuc's
hands 20 be served. Tom had
heard of Simpsons threat that he
would not be taken, and went
fixed, being prepared from the oul-
prits well known character, for q
skirmish. lie found his man in
short order, and to his surprise q
demand for surrender was
promptly obcyed, and fSimps' was
lodged in Jail until the court was
ready for trial. After q potent
hearing Of some four or five wit
nesscs, and listening to the pris.
oner's own statement, the Squire
fined him thirty dollars OF thirty
days IN the county jail, with the
costs of court, some nine dollars
more. The thirty dollars not being
forthcoming, Simpson was escorted
to the jail and locked up. After a
few hours of solitary confinement
he came to the conclusion that he
would make money by paying up,
and accordingly turned over to the
proper authorities q COW and calf IN
payment of the fine. 1t was not o
complete liquidation, but on his
promise to behave himself in future
in moro becoming manner, he
was released. This is a most salu-
tary lesson to this class OF negro
dcspcradocs, of whom there were
formerly SO many around Osceola,
and who are still occasionally TO
be met with. A few moro such
doses and they will follow in the
footsteps ofthc wicked unprinciplcd
white mon who formerly led them
on to all sorts of dcviltry, ard
omlgratc to somo more congcnial
climate.

In Arkansas RulorC como to Grief.


A very bad, impudcnt, and un,
ruly darkoy, who rcjoiccs in the
cognomon Of Simpson, and who for
somc weeks past has been the terror
of quiet negroes around town, was
brought up with round turn on
Tuesday last, much to the delight
of everybody, and rather to the
benefit OF tho County treasury.
The circumstance leading to his
arrest and punishment, as brought
out before Squire j. X. p. Hale,
who tried the case, developed the
fact that Simpson, who as VIC have
stated, is strictly on his muscle and
is habitoal ttotcr' of deadly
weapons, kicked q yalIcr dog be-
longing to Emanuel Green; and
when Emanuel demonstrated with
him, he volunteered TO perform the
same Office for the dogs master.
70 this Emanuel objected, saying
that if there was "any one thing
that he disgustcd more than having
hia dog kicked, it was being kicked
himscll;" which, considering all
things, is very reasonable remark,
and shows Emanuel to be not half
so Green as his name would indicate.
Mr.. Simpson, however, by this
time, had his back up (Which is an
cuphpism for saying that he had a
pistol ou), and was not disposed to
listen to reasonable remarks Of any
sort, and announced his intention
Of kicking any "g-d ID dog he
pleased, and shooting the G g-giz-
aard out Of any body that didn't
like 1t" accompanying the dcclara-
ton with kick that sent Green's
dog bowling to his master. This
was too much for green's cquanimi-
ty, and seeing no chance for sue
cess in a personal combat with the
redoubtablc and now raging Simp-
son, he announced that he was
going to "takc the law to him, and
have him arrested for 'sault and
battery, TO- Squire Hale, please de
Lord" and turned off to go for an
officer of the peace. On this
Simpson ran around and headed
him of, and facing him, drew q
bead on him, ordering him at the
same time not to "dar' to como ten
steps furdor," on penalty of having
his "guts bIowod plum out Of him"
How, or why it was that he did not
carry out his blood thirsty threats
in this respect did not appear quite
PLAINLY IN inc tfial, but at any rate,
Green managed TO get past him
and got TO town with the paraphcr-
MALTA Of his stomach in good order.
Witnesses, Of whom there were
several examined, all Of them me-
grocs, state that on Green's threat
of having him arrested, Simpson
secuted tho idea, saying that there
was nary Cd id white man
or niggcr in Mississippi County
couldtako him. lie was all the way
from Kaintucly, nineteen year old

manipulated with skill that
would have madc the old origi-

middle" once more as he used
to do in his golden primo.
The arrangements for dancing
wcro made at Mr.. Thos. L. Bennett,
near TO the mill, and thithcr every
body went during the evening. The
gentlemen who accompanied the
Osccola delegation did not omuch
dancing during tho afternoon and
indeed did not "tako a hand"-or
rather " shake n foot" until late in
the evening. The young ladies
however, were in demand from the
start, and were engaged for every
set. This is exactly rs il should
be, and we approve of tho taste
which the Bayou Boys displayed.

TINS Is one OF the worst climates
in the world on fine guns, pistols
cutlery cite. The writer has made
many experiments to find some
way of protecting his weapons
AGAINST rust, and after humorous
trials finds that there is nothing like
mcrcurial ointment for tho purpose.
1t should be rubbed in thoroughly,
both outside and inside, and well
dried off, so as TO leave but llttlc
on tho surface. The quicksilver
forms thin film, which protects
the metal from moisture.

THE HEAT IL THE CITY.

Yesterday was among the hottest days that have
been this Summer. The effect of the rise in the
thermometer was everywhere visible. The truck
horses with their heavy loads, were allowed to
stop here and there on their journeys to and from
the wharves which gave Broadway and Its tribu-
taries the appearance OF being jammed Pedes-
TRANS also felt the heat and every shady nook and
corner where there was a chance OF getting q
draught or puff OF air was monopolized by clerks
and business men, who alternated tanning and
hopping by saving unkind things about ''Old. probn
and his predictions. The poor horses that
had to travel on time suffered terribly; in fact,
many OF them succumbed to the oyerpowering
calidlty Of the SUMS rays On the Third Avenue
road the stand opposite Tompkins Market, which
Is generally used as place for watering the horses,
was yesterday resolved into hospital, and all
standing In the shade Of the trees OF the little park
at the rear Of Cooper Institute Both in doors and
out OF doors people suffered very much from the
sultry atmosphere. During the forenoon and cary
three O'Clock p. NJ, when the thermometer
indicated ninety-two degrees In the shade,
point reacned only on very few

difference OF few degrees OF higher or lower tenn

CENTRAL PARK aARDEN-MUSICAL NOVEL,
TIES

The hot weather last night thinned the hail OF
the Incompatible concerts OF Thomas but crowded
the adjoining garden to Its utmost extent. Around
each table In the scanty shrubbery, which extends
from Fiftyeighth to Fiftv-ninth street, was
q cosiy-located group Of music lovers.
The programme, without being particularly
flush in musical grandeur had novelties
enough to satisfy the most exacting. There were
q march by Kiel, young man in Berlin, who
seems to think that mere contrapuntal knowledge
is sufficient to create work; an overture to
Orchard Ill.," by vokmann. an old man of Hun
gary, who looks upon Shakespeare as species OF
gnome; q cdprfccto, by the Russian Beethoven,
Ghnka, an admirable piece Of workmanship; q
sonambulistic Bercease, by Buergel, and an
overture, Zine peste Burg" by Joachim Ran.
The last mentioned is the most pretentious of all,
and Is weak TO an unwarrantable degree. Herr
kans treatment OF the grand old hymn OF Luther
seems like decorating an elephant with flowers or
putting Mansard roof on the pyramid OF Cheops.
Jude and invocation OF the Witch OF the Alps.

funereal style. Liszt was represented by
symphonic poem, taken from Schiller l''The IdeaD,
In which he displayed to an unwarrantable extent
this utter want of ideas and power OF instrumental
eighteen, for string orchestra made the feature OF
the concert. Strauss was heard In a very pretty
waltz "Flugschieften," and Gounod contributed
his well-knOwn "Saltarello." The orchestra of
Theodore Thomas seems 70 increase in excellence
every year. The materials have now become parts
difficut even In Europe, to find such another bodv

ENGLISH PoLIrIcs have been for some time
past unusually dull The Ministry is strong
and the opposition is patient and peaceable.
Some of the recent elections have frightened
the administration, because they have revealed
q growing conservative sentiment which BODIES
trouble at the next general election. Ac-
cording to the Marquis of Huntington the
government is fully alive to all the difficulties
of the situation. When the general election
comes they are prepared to fight and win. It
is difficult, in fact, to see how tory govern
ment can ever again for any length of time
govern England Mr.. Gladstone may pass
away, but his place will be filed by another,
not less aggressive and perhaps more daring
than he. The tories are hopeful, but the
prospect is favorable for another liberal VIC
