LITTLE Rock, ARK, May l9.-About
daylight this morning Brooks, with a
small squad Of cavalry. evacuated the
State House, going, no one seems to
know where. 1t is reported that he went
out on the road toward Fort Smith.
The Federal barricade across Mark
ham street, in front of City Hall, Was
reIsoved this morning. Colonel John
son, Secretary of State, went to the
State House and put asquad of work
men to clearing up.
About II o'clock General r. c. New
ton, commanding Baxter's forces, with
his staff, taking two companies with
him, went to the State House and took
possession, stationing sentinels through
out the grounds and building. After
getting possession and examing the sur
roundings, General Newton sent word to
Governor Baxter, who, in company with
his staff, the Secretary of State and a
few citizens, took couple of carriages
at Odd Fellows Hall, and preceded by
General King Whites cavalry, and fol-
lowed by the infantry and artillery,
marched up Markham street to the
State House. At the gate the column
halted, the party got out, and the Gov
ernor proceeded to his room in the left
wing of the State House, which had
previously been occupied by General
Newton, who was in waiting. The room
was Immediately filed with friends con-
graduating the Governor. The big sew
enty-four- FOUNDER was fred, and i. was
followed by one hundred and one guns
from the two Parrots. Intense enthnsI-
asm prevailed. The building was
found in very dilapidated condition.
Earthworks and plank barricades were
scattered throughout the grounds. The
desks in the two legislative halls, the
Supreme Court room, and other rooms
had been improvised into barricades,
many of them broken, and the utmost
confusion prevailed. The State arms
were left lying loose around the build
ing. Workmen have been busy through
out the day putting tLings to rights.
Everything is quiet and orderly this
evening. The Federal forces have re-
tired to the Arsenal, Baxter's troops oc-
cupy the State House, and the old order
of things begins to loom up. Nearly all
the stores are open, ani business is be-
ing transacted as usual.

He made directly for the manufacturing
establishments, ''for," said he, "the peo-
pie could hear it, but the roar of the
factories would drown any warning for
the operatives"
At Skinnerville the messenger was five
minutes ahead of the coming torrent,
but at Haydenville they had but two
minutes 70 spread the alagm. There the
famous ride, which will be snug in story
and told TO the credit of Collins Graves
around the fresides of Williamsburg
forever, as the salvation of many hun
dred lives, ended at the hotel.
Horse and rider were both exhausted,
and here another herald took up the
tidings. Graves could hear the thunder
of the coming food, but not fully ap-
preciating its extent he turned TO go
back to Williamsburg. At the Dug
way" the disaster which he had predict
ed burst upon his sight, and he had just
time to turn off into bank near Cap
tain Kingsley's when it crashed past
him. Indeed, he was not twenty sec
onds too soon, and as it was he had al
most despaired of reaching place of
safety, and had even thought of aban-
doning his tired steed to its fate.

A boy aged 16 years, died on the oper'
atlng table Of the Good Samaritan Hos,
pital in Cincinnati, on Tuesday last
from the effects of chloroform, while
physicians were removing tumor from
his jaw. An unusually small amount
half an ounee-of chloroform was Civ
ell him, but he died surrounded by emf
nent physicians, just as the operation
was completed. When asked how he
accounted for the fatal result, DIR. Daw'
son, under whose direction the chioro-
form was administered, said:
HThere are persons who can take chic
roform and others who can't. And q
person may take it a score of times with
impunity and the next time die. 1t Ii
fact that the doctors realize, and that
the PEOPLE ought to realize, that the con-
dition of anesthesia is one of danger
and pessons who take chloroform ought
to take it with that danger in view, that
It is not by any means a harmless agent
And a person may take it to-day and
not tormorraw, | remember a case In
Fayette county, of lady who had ia
ken it eight times, in ehildbed, and on
one occasion for eight hours. This lady
went to Washington, Fayette county, to
have tooth pulled, and she went to the
dentists Office and wanted chloroform.
She said it was not necessary to send for
a physician to administer it; that she
had taken it hundred times, and knew
all about it. Nevertheless physician
was sent for, who administered it. She
died before she had become insensible.' y

DopGIsG THE L1ouoR QUESTION

DoDGING THE LIQUoR QUESTION
Some aw-makers, says the New York
Tribune, seem to think it very risky
business TO assist at all in making laws,
and TO dread the Yeas and Nays very
much as 4 topper breads cold water. A
third reading vote on a brand-neW Lii
quor bill was taken in the Massachusetts
Senate last Frsday as follows: Yeas, u:
Ma, $, 10; Absent, Eighteen. We shall
hink that Massachusetts members are
really honest in their temperance pro-
fessions when they are willing, every
where and on all occasions, to back them
up by their votes. 1t is dreadful to
think of question so important fro m
every point of view as this of dramdrink-
ing and dram-selling, made the mere
shuttlecock of parties, hardly anybody
being brave enough to vote upon il with :
out inquiring what effect his vote will
probably have upon his private political
prospects. In all these years of dreary
experiment, Massachusetts does not seem
at any time to have had Legislature
capable of deciding the question upon
Its actual merits; and there never was
another measure about which there has
been SO much hedging and lodging, or
which has SO developed the hopeless in
sincerity of small politicians and the low
average of their capacity for public af-
fairs

Professor Swing, whose trial for here
sy at Chicago, has recently been agita-
ting the civilized world, and doubtless
seriously affecting all branches of indus
try, terminated the other day in the ac-
quital of the Professor. Speaking of
the momentous affair, the Cincinnati
Commercial says:
Professor Swing has been acquitted of
heresy. He does not differ from Patton,
his prosecutor, in kind, only in degree.
As the Chicago Times tersely puts it,
she does not stoke up the everlasting
CRATES of torture quite as high as does
Patton" The sympathy extended to
him by the rationalistic thinkers was, as
far as their views are concerned, entire
ly misplaced, and the Times admonishes
them that "they have in reality nothing
to hope from Swings God, and every
thing to fear from Swings hell" As
the testimony during the trial shows, the
case amounted to no more than theo-
logical hair-splitting of the difference
between tweedledum and, tweedledee.

1t first struck the Nonotuck Dam, and
carried that away with rush; it destroy
ed the Nonotuek silk works and large
amount of property belonging to the
company; swept of A P. Crutehlow' 5
two button factories, and number of
boarding houses and private dwellings,
and hurried some fifty human beings to
terrible death. Just below Leeds two
bridges one of iron and the other OF stone
were utterly demolished. From this
point the destruction was by no means so
sweeping and terrible. The food had
exhausted its fury, and the valley widen
ing out with fields and meadows gave it
more breadth and checked its devasta-
ton. Florence and Bay State villages,
though inundated and seriously damag-
ed, escaped the awful fate which had be-
fallen the villages further up the stream.
The water surged through the streets
and flooded the lower stories of the
houses, but no buildings were carried
away and no lives lost At one time ap-
prehensions were felt lest Northampton
might suffer seriously but the food
spread out over the meadows. and no
damage of any consequence was sustain
ed, except in the destruction of the rail-
road bridge

%SrATEsMEN."-A good deal is being
said and written just now concerning
Craftsmanship" and Statesmen" The
New York Commercial Advertiser, allud-
ing to the subject, says: Every great
statesman this country has produced has
made his way to high place through the
manipllations of ward politicians. Par
ty organization makes and unmakes
statesmen. Many a great man has been
left to cool his heels and his ambition in
obscurity, simply by putting on airs like
the Adams family, and fancying they
belong to the elect. Statesmen and poll
iticians who put on rufies very soon
have the conceit taken ont of them" 1t
is pity this is 80, for while ward poll
ticians occasionally succeed in making a
statesman, they more frequently turn out
legislative jobbers, whose whole aim is
bent on making the most money out of
Office and not framing wise laws for the
government of the nation.

Two three-story brick houses on Cen
trail Avenue, Cincinnati, fell down on
Tuesday last, burying several persons in
the ruins. The occupants of the houses
discovered few moments before the
catastrophe, that the structures gave
signs of an early fall, and made prepara-
tions to leave them at once-the husband
of one family going down to look after
something in his store, which was in the
lower floor, and shortly after his depar-
ture, the whole building came down
with terrible crash.-His little daugh-
ter was instantly kill, but the balance of
the inmates miraculously escaped in
slant death. All the others however,
we're more or less severely injured.

How He Looked.

A person in Maryland, who was ad
dicted to drunkenness, hearing consid-
cradle uproar in his kitchen one night,
had the curiosity to step without noise
to the door to know what was the matter
when he found his servants indulging in
the most unbounded ro4rs of laughter at
a couple of negro boys who we're mimick-
ing himself in his drunken fts-as how
he reeled and staggered, how he looked,
and nodded, and hiccoughed, and tum-
bled.
The pictures which these little darkies
drew of him, and which had filled the
rest with such inexhaustible merriment,
struck him with 90 salutary disgust
that from that night he became perfect
ly sober man, to the joy of his wife and
children. It's pity some other men
could not see themselves initiated in a
like manner.
