fortune which has darkensd her life.
When q child she was terribly scalded

she survived her injuries, she was
thenceforth disfsured for life, and tho
rosy face Of childhood was changed to a
mask-a travesty on the human eoun.

oncs lived, so great was tho horror sx-
cited by her appearance that she was for

tured out the other day. and several
ladies tainted at the sight Of her. and q

ANOTHER MuDDLR IN ARKANSAS.

Arkansas 10 provsrbiAl. or will soon
become 80. for political disturbances.
Last Summer she had one which was
only settled by Federal interference. In
1872. Brooks was the Dsmocratic-Libsr-
al and Baxter the regular Republican
candidate for Governor Of that State.
Baxter was, by the Legislature to whom
the decision was finally RENTED. de-
clarsd the duly elected Governor. Over
q year after this decision, Brooks, armed
with an order from State Circuit Court,
issued in Bayter's absence, seized the
State Capital and assumed tho functions
Of Governor. There wal much trouble
for q few days and some bloodshsd, but
finally the President issued . procla.
nation recognizing the Baxter govern
ment a. legal, and commanding the
Brooksites to sksdaddle. They did so.
volnsy v. Smith was the nominee for
Lieutenant Governor with Baxter ON
the Republican ticket in 1872. and with
him was declared elected. A new State
Constitution was adopted by the Ar
kansawyers recently. Under the old
constitution the terms Of Baxter and
Smith would have expired IN 1876.
The new Constitution provided for the
election Of q new set Of State officers al
the regular election held November 3,
and thus let out Msssrs Baxter and
Smith. Under the new Constitution
Garland was elected Governor. Baxter
abdicated. but Smith didn't and when
Garland s~ndsavored to assume the func-
tons OF executive denied his right to 50,
and appealed to the President to sus-
tain him in his position. The case now
stands thus: Smith. Lieutenant Cover

declares the new one just adopted. null
and void. Garland. the Governor elect
cd under the new Constitution. claims
that ii was duly adopted by . large ma.
jority, is now in full force and effect in
Arkansas, and that he was legally elect
sd Hereunder. The whole case seems
therefore to turn upon the character
and manner Of adoption Of the new Con-
stitution. It has been referred to the
U. 5. Attorney General for his opinion,
by which President Grant will doubtless
be guided.

PROSPERITY OF TExAs.-The revised
returns recently published of a late cleo
ton in the State Of Texas give the aggregate,
vote at l5S, 0o0 indicating population slight
ly in excess OF one million. This is an increase
OF nearly 300, 900 over the population only fo,r
years ago, which was placed by the last censu,
at slS,679. The population in 1850 was 6o4,-
900; so that the increase in the last four years
has been almost equal to that OF the previous
ten.
The area of Texas is equal to all New Eng
land, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jeseys
Delaware, Maryland, both Virginias and South
Carolina combined. This area has great line
OF coast, and is suited for almost every VARIETY
OF productions. 1t raises corn, potatoes ami
wheat, and also cotton, sugar and rice. 1t ha,
mines OF coal, iron and salt, and also, it is be-
Heved, OF precious metals. In some counties
grape culture is made speciality. The whole
rolling interior is unsurpassed for grazing, and
hence its great cattle production also. Texas
is soon to be connected with the Pacific by one.
line Of railways, with Mexico by another, with
Northern California by another, and with Kan
sas by two. All that the State needs is pop,,-.
lation, and this, it seems, it is gaining, indica-
ting thereby that the political disorders that
interfered with settled industries and tranquil,
ity are subsiding and forecasting an era Of de-
velopment and prosperity.
