The Situation in Arkansas.

The political situation i'm Arkansas will
be fully developed at the opening of the
General Assembly, the 9th day of Janua-
ry. The Inauguration of Judge Baxter as
Governor, and the organization of both
houses, will take place with the usual GER
emonies. The revolutionary threats of
the Brooks faction will not be carried out.
Public opinion is so overwhelmingly
againt any violence, and so decidedly OPP
posed to that faction that it must die out
like fire without fuel. Brooks has done
nothing sine. the election to gain the con-
fidence even of those who voted for him,
but has done much to excite their distrust
Besides, the character of John Baxter for
honor, propriety, and moderation contrasts
a violent, ultra, and ambitious man, that
the people, no doubt, rejoice ia the cleo
ton of Baxter, without regard to political
attachments.-Mefn Avalanche.

With half sob and half sigh
"Old Year, good-byl Old Year. good-by =
For what it brought, and what it takes,
We love it, and for loved ones sakcs;
Priced for its hours of happiness,
Nor for its sacred sorrows less;
For all it gave through toll and strife
OF new significance to life
New bresdths new depths, new heights sub

And haply, kingship over Time .~
Accept our thanks, Old Year. for these, -,
And for all precious memories
Of love, of grief of joy, of pain,
Whose ministry was not in vain.

4 New Galyanic Battery,

Gaiffe's new galvanic battery consists of
vessel in which are contained plate of
lead and plate of zinc. The lead reaches
to the bottom, while the zinc is but half as
long. The bottom of the vessel is covered
with layer of red oxide of lead, and the
exciting fluid is water containing ten per
cent. of sal ammoniac. The electro-motive
power of this battery is estimated at one
third of that of Bunsen cell. Its inter-
nal resistance is very slight, and it is said
to be very constant. 1t has the merit of
cheapness. american.

Protecting Young Trees.

An excellent way to keep rabbits and
mice from gnawing young fruit trees is to
take five or six corn stalks, cut about two
and half feet long. Stick them close
around the young tree aud secure them at
the top by tying a small cord around the
whole. 1t is not only sure protection
against rabbits and mice, but is some pro
lection against the cold Of winter.

The Good of Che Tupper Law.
80 ~. ..----a--.Z lza.as al Il

One thing. we desire to commend
Judge Cooke for. He has addressed
himself to the task orpromoting temper
ance and good behavior among the pco-
pie, by urging the enforcement in his
circuit Of what is known as the 'Tupper
law, This law requires that the vendor
of ardent spirit shall have tavern IL
ceusc and keep rooms and beds for trav-
elcrs, and stabling and provender for
horses, and, if enforced, would brak, UP
nnetynino out Of a hundred Of these
shops and bar rooms where men sauan-
der the money which should go to the
support of their wives and children, and
where in Intoxicating and maddening
drinks, health, Intelligence and honor
are wrecked, and the seed planted which
bear the fruit Of murders, violence and
every foul crime known to our criminal
court records
Now, the Tuppcr law imposes con.
dition upon the vending of what Charles
Lamb calls liquid lafnnation, for which
in the absence of something better, we
ought to be thankful. Tt amounts to
prohibition in many cases and localities,
and, Of course, to the Improvement of
the condition OF society where it is put
into force. Some months ago, the bar
rooms in Anderson were all closed under
this law, and what was better, the citi-
zcns followed it up with electing to the
municipal Offices men who were opposed
to granting licenses - sell ardent spirits
within the corporate limits. Good order
sobrletS, industry and peace are the con-
sequence in that town, and drunken
man is rarely if seen in it. we per-
eeivc that the grand jury of Abbeville
County pay a tribute to the zeal Of
Judge Cooke In Prohibiting illicit tra6c
IN intoxicating liquors. and commend
the County Commissioners for refusing
all licences. They rejoice that there is
not now licepsed srog shop in, Able
vile .Ssepnty, outside Of incorporated
two Counties, and borne such good fruits
aud met such cordial recognition, caa
likewise be done throughout the, state,
If other Judges will sec their duty in
the same light which Judge Cooke has
seen his. If man sets up his banner
OF liquor trade, let him be required to
take proper care, or to have the means
at hand of taking proper care of the
