Of the L. r. & +. 8. Railroad Company, t.
Judge JOHN F. WHEELER, Chairman OF the
committee, which was appointed ut the Aim,

We have the greatest confidence, however
that this Road will not remain unfinished

LITTLE ROCK AND FORT sMirn RAILROAD
LITTER FROM THE PRECEDENT.
BosroN, Aug. 8. 1873.
JOHN F. WHEELER ESQ, (Chairman) Fort
Smith
Dear Sir: Your favor of tie Goth ult, is re-
ceived this morning. | am not prepared at
propounded. rs to the l.. X. & F. 8. road The
road Is now as You are aware. In hands Of the
Receiver appointed by the State Treasurer.
In consequence Of nom paym ment of interest.
The principal reason for stopping work on
the road Is want Of money-sOme parties re-
fuse to send in their old bonds In exchange
for the new proposed issue, and it Is difficult
to raise money to 20 into your State, since
the passage of tho unfortunate law passed at
the close Of the session OF the last legislature
which virtually deprives parties who are ex-
pected to build railroads, Of all control oftheir
prsperty-such legislation is not calculated
to invite capital.
trust however, that the suspension Of work
is only temperary-most Of the gentlemen
actively interested In the Company are tenn
porarily absent from the city-on their return
some action will be taken, on n plan proposed
to raise the means necessary to finish the
road, and II possible, get out the new bonds.
! understand that Clarksville now declines to
give us the aid promised and for this reason
the road Is stopped little short OF that place,
aud may tend to some change in the location.
am sir, very respectfully yours,
+. ATKINS. President

The CHANGERS 1T is said that sine,
the grangers have become so powerful
in the western country men of all trades
and professions in the large cities, poll
ticians especially, are seized With the ides
Of buying one or two acres Of ground,
moving into the country, aud trying
their hands at farming. They want to
become grangers at once, and who
wouldn't when they have such powerful
backing as this Ons Of their organs In
Illinois says:
Stand aside, politicians, you little
gnats and worms, or the farmers will
step on you and kill you! The farmers
will crush the life out Of any party Of
any politician who binders the car ofre.

you may as well play with an elephant

A QUEER Iowa SToRY--One Of the
leading citizens of North Davenport had
an only daughter, who was betrothed to
a young man of fair promise, q clerk in 4
leading cou mercial house at Dubuque.
His visits to the city were regular, and
arrangements had been made for an i'm
mediate union, when the bride elect was
stricken down with typhoid fever, and, In
spite of all that skill and care could do,
died. After the melancholy journey to
Oakdalc the young man returned to Du-
buque. Nervous fever set in, and pc.
culiar hallucinatioh seized him that his
lost one was present in the room dressed
in the same garb which had enveloped
her clay. All remonstrance was in vain.
He minutely described her dress, her sp.
pearance, and her position in his cham
ber. Even when bis parents or friends
would sit or stand where he declared her
to be, he saw her glide away and take
another place. This went on for weeks,
and the patient was gradually sinking un-
der the physical and nervous excitement,
when friendly ruse was tried to cure
him Of bis ecstacy. Coming to Davcn
port, his mother found thar the funeral
garments we're purchased OF c. 4 NJ,
and made by q Mrs il. She procured
the material, had it made up, and return
ing, a young lady as near in height and
appearance as could be found was dress-
ed to resemble his deceased love, and
during one Of his fevercd and brief slum
bers was introduced into the room, TAX
ing her seat in a shaded corner. His
awakening was anxiousiy watched, and
sanguine hopes of removing his hallucin
alton were indulged in. He awoke at
leagth, and, turning his eyes in the di'
rection Of the pious fraud, stared with
fixed eye-balls for few scconds, then
raising himself almost upright In his bed,
flung his arms aloft, and shrieking in an
unearthly voice: :" My God, there are tro
of them" fell back aud expired .at

Arkansas Lesson for N,ssissippian.


Since Baxter's triumph, and,sinss hos

crushed by the sheer force of popular
opinion, operating not Only in Arkansas.
but everywhere throughout the Unitsd
States, the people have devoted them.
selves with marvellous assiduity to the
reproduction Of their original wealth.
Farms are cultivated and towns prosper,
even fresh fields are cleared and rail
ways planned. Good government in
sures obedience to law, and the crimes
done in Arkansas, and deeds Of violence
as the world sees at last, were only due
to the supremacy OF knaves and adven-
turers, who used negro voters to secure
offices that they might plunder both ne.
groes and whites. The negroes have
been taught lesson in Arkansas, by
which they should be protitsd in Missis-
sipp. Ifpeopls want good government,
they must have officers identified in for
