Baxter is drawing the reins on all
those persons in Arkansas who con-
spicuously favored Brooks in the
'slate war;" in a manner which
doubtless causes them to sensibly
feel the bit. 1t is limited by some
that it would be well for him to be
somewhat lenient, as the whole mat
ter of the recent trouble in that
State may yet come before some
higher tribunal than its Legislature
for trial, and possibly, in that event,
his claims for the Governorship
might be adversely passed upon,
which would leave him in a condi-
ton liable to calls to pay up with
interest for his severity,

AN INTERESTING CoNUNDRUM.-Does
a horse lift both feet of each side alter
nately? This question we venture to say
cannot be answered by many of our read
ers in moment. Miss Tompson, whose
picture of calling the Roll in the Cri-
mea," in the London Exhibition, has
been praised by the Prince of Wales, and
has, therefore, attracted attention, has
pictured one of her horses walking by
lifting the near fore and the near hind
leg simultaneously, whereat there has
arisen much discussion. Some say
horse walks as he trots, and some say not.
The reader can decide, if he is curious,
by going into the street and observing
the two actions. Webster gives, "To
trot: the pace of horse or other quad
ruped when he lifts one fore foot and the
hind foot of the opposite side at the same
time. This pace is the same as that Of a
aOoik, but more rapid" which leads the
Baltimore Gazette to believe that Web
ster evolved his description not from
sight, but out of his inner consciousness.
Who will decide?

The Presbyterian General Assembly,
being brought face to face with the "wo-
man question:" as to "the right of the
sex to teach, pray and exhort in public
or promiscuous assemblages," substan-
tally affirmed previous deliverances on
the subject, denying that right. At the
same time the Assembly adopted reso-
luton declaring that it expresses no
opinion as to the Scriptural view of wo-
mans right to speak or pray in social
prayer meetings, and commits the whole
subject to the discretion of the pastors
and elders of churches.

accident" occurred there Friday even
ing. Mr.. Thomas Wilson, formerly pro-
prietor of the White Sulphur Springs,
loaded a cigar with what he thought a
small charge of powder, and handed it to
Mr.. s. p. Carr, with instructions to give
it to an idiot negro, with view of hav-
ing "fun" at his expense. Mr.. J. o.
Long playfully snatched the cigar from
Mr.. Carr and lighted it when it instantly
exploded, tearing out three of his ;eech,
terribly mutilating his mouth, and put
ting out the right eye of Mr.. Carr, who
was standing in front of him.

Purgative Pills have become a settled
necessity with the American people
Indeed, cathartics always have been and
always must be used, in some form by all
mankind. In this country, the pilular
form of administration has been growing
in favor since pills were first made OF
Aloes and Rhubarb, rolled into ball.
Their high position in the public con-
fence has finally been secured and fas-
tened into permanency, by Ayers Cath
artic Pills, the most skillful combina-
tion of medicine for the diseases they are
intended to cure, that science can devise
or art produce. Those who need pills,
no longer hesitate what pills to take if

to be deplored than the misery and ruin

be ranked the widespread social demor-

criminal statistics, more especially in
crimes of violence.

1t is often remarked by strangers visi-

proportion of good horses than any 9TH

them, is owing to two principal reasons:
in the first place, we breed from the very
best stock; and in the second place, our
people use Sheridan's Cavalry Condition
Powders, which in our judgment are OF
incalculable advantage.
