To FIND THE CoMET.-Thc best directions
for finding the comet, it is said, that have yet
been given, arc the following: "At 0 or 10
o'clock the Dippcr is seen with the handle in
the direction from the horizon. The two
lowest stars in the bowl of the Dipper (ar-
thcst from the handle are called the Pointers,
because they point to the Pole Star; the one
nearer the Pole Star, being called Dubhe.-
The comet formes nearly an equilateral TRAN
gle with the Dubhe and the Pole Star, being
stationed below them" The tail is above the
nucleus, and inclined toward the Polar Star.
1t is only moderately developed, as the nu-
cleus is approaching the earth.

Mr.. Allen ]. Prigg, a well-known former

HORSE KILLED.-On Tuesday morning,
Mr.. Benjamin Cole, Collector of the I'd Dis.
trict, who lives near Aberdeen sent II boy
into his corn field to work with shovel
pillow, which had just been sharpcned. The
boy fastened his horse to fence and went to
get his breakfast. While he was gone, it is
supposed that the horse became restless from
the flies, and in some way threw himself on
the shovel pillow with such force as to cut a
terrible cash in his stomach, from which his
entrails protruded. The animal when re-
leased from the shovel plow started off in a
trot, but dropped dead after going about 200
yards.

HARvEsT-Our farmers have been hard
at work this week in the harvest field. The
yield of wheat and grass will be very large,
and as the weather was propitious the crops
will be saved in prime condition The dry
weather has been unfavorable. to the oat
crop, which will be cut short in consequence.
Potatoes have also suffered materially from
the drought and the potato bug. The latter
pest, however, has been nearly cxterminated
or driven off, by the use of Paris green and 9th
er means. All things considered, therefore,
farmers can take courage and go forward
and we may expect more prosperous con-
dtion of affairs in our county the coming fall
and winter.

A conflict of races such as this manifesto
indicates is one of the most deplorable symp-
toms of social decomposition that can any

ton of such white league must be deeply
regretted, it is only what was to have been
expected. The negroes have long been or

should organize themselves in their turn

It is said that Mr.. Dorman B. Eaton and

sion have at last got thoroughly tired of the
farce, and, instead of presenting any an

say that their abors have failed because
congress wi,hholds the needed support and
give up their places.
1t is believed that a majority of the house
Arkansas committee will oppose any inter-
ference with the present government Of the
state, but strong minority report will be
made, signed by chairman Poland and at

1t will, however, not be possible to obtain
action in the house on the subject. Leading

lions to stop the passage Of what they con-
slider outrngcously partisan measures, and

THE NATIONS BENEFACTOR.
Hon. Gerritt smith.

The telegraph brings 10 us this morning
the sad announcement of the death of one
of the worlds benefactors, Hon. Gerritt
Smith, which occurred at the residence of
Gen. John Cochrane in the city of New
York on Monday afternoon at 81 o'clock.
Thus passes away one Of the ablest and
most cultured of American citiZens-a man
of sensitive and sympathizlng nature; a
phl,anthropist Of large heart, whose benc-
factions were many, and whose benevolencc
was as broad rs suffering humanity. Ger
rift Smith was born at Utica, n. y,
March G, 1897, and graduated at Hamilton
College in 1918. HIS father, Peter Smith,
left him one Of the largest landed estates in
the United States, the management of
which has been his principal occupation.
In 1868 he was admitted to the bar as an
attorney; and subsequently took part in
several important trials. He carly Joined
in the benevolent enterprises of the day,
and IN 1923 connected himself with the
American colonization society, TO which he
gave largely for the accomplishment of its
purposes, but in 1895 withdrew from it
and joined the American antl-slayery so.
ciety. He has practically illustrated his
opposition to land monopoly by distributing
100000 acres partly among institutions OF
learning, but mostly among poor white
men and black men, IN parcels of about
fifty acres His largest gifts of money
have been in aid OF emancipation and to
buy homes for the poor. In 1862 he was
member of congress. lie was long
prominent advocate by pen and tongue of
a larger liberty of opinion and the freedom
from what he believed to be the bondage
of sect, In 1861 he made some speeches
in behalf of vigorous and uncompro-
missing prosecution Of the existing war, land
also wrote many articles to this end for the
press. He was not only sound in argu-
lnent, but upon the platform an eloquent
and thrilling orator, and in this regard had
few superiOrs In the land
Thus has passed away within but few
days of each other, two of our country's
most foremost phianthropists and ben
efactors, Ezra Cornell and Gerrit Smith.
Long will their memories linger in the re-
membrance of the American people
