THE ARKANSAS TROUBLES.
Scramble Between the Republicans fer
the Governors Office.
The President Declines 40 Inter-
fere.

About one year ago Brooks commenced
suit, III the District Court % Pulaski coun-
"; tor the Office OF Governor, and about
the same time the Attorney General COM
lnenced suit against Gov. Baxter, by quo
warranto, IN the Supreme Court. The
latter courts rendered decision that the
courts Of the State had no power over a
contested election for the office of Cover
nor. 1t was generally regarded that the
matter was settled, SO far as the courts
were concerned.
TIE Legislature, in 1873, opened the
returns, and declared Baxter elected.
Nothing more was thought of the matter
particularly, until few days ago, when
the attorneys of Gov. Baxter desired
that the case IN the Circuit Court be taken
up on demurrer, with the object of dispos-
Ing Of the same; an understanding was then
had that the demurrer should be submit
ted and the case be argued next week.
On Monday, during the absence of
Judges English and Compton, the attor-
neys Of Gov. Baxter, Mr.. Whipple,
the attorney for Brooks, arose and stated
that it had been agreed between himself
and the counsel Of Gov. Baxter that de-
murrer to the jurisdiction of the court
should be submitted This, although in
the absence of Gov. Bakers attorneys,
vas thought nothing Of at the time
Yesterday morning about IL o'clock,
when there We're but few in the court
room, and neither OF the Governors coun-
sci present, Judge Whylock announced
MS decision overruling the demurrer, and
none of BdXter's counsel being present to
answer, plead over or make move for an
appeal, judgment Of custer was issued,
a writ placed IN the hands of the sheriff,
and IN five minutes from that time an
armed band, headed by Brooks, were in
the Governor office, demanding posses
sion
The Governor declined, whereupon for
chile possession was taken. and guard
placed at all the entrances to the office.
In the mean time Gen Catters0n, who
claimed to act as Brooks's Adjutant Gen
eraI, broke in the door Of the armory in
the same building, and took possession of
about one hundred stand OF arms, Adjt.
Gen, Strong, Of Gov. Bakers staff,
refusing TO give up the keys, although sur
rounded by armed men.
Gov. Baxter refused To be elected ex-
ctpt 'l iotcS, Niich SOME Oh DIOOhS hleH
took hold of him and led him out. Since
that time Brooks has had possession of the
State House. Gov Baxter has estab-
Iished his headquarters at St. Johns Col
iege. and it is reported the State-House
viii be taken possession OF tonight. The
greatest excitement prevails throughout
tine city.

THE GaRAr SAnr LAkE.-The yallev,, was sestled in1S47. The level of the lake is now twelve or fourteen feet higher than it was then From 1841 to 1852 there was no noticeable change. From 1852 to 1857 there was rise to the extent of about six feet above the lowest level of the first mentioned year. From 1856 to 1861 a gradual subsistence took place. until, in fall eff 1881, the level was two feet below the lowest mark of 1852, and the lake was contracted to shout three-fourths of it's area in that year. But from the spring of 1881 to 1868 there vent on steady rise;1 the lake extended to once and a' half it's area in 1861 and it's surface stood twelve feet above the earlier level. Since that time the rise and fall have been about equal, the tendency being on the whole to gain, the fluctuations not exceeding two feet. As to the prospect of the future, it is stated that the humidity of the atmos- phere annually increases. as the sarea of cultivation becomes greater, and, as a consequence, the evaporation becomes less. On the other hand the mountain
 streams are continually enlarging. Thou-
 sands of acres of farming, meadow. and
 pasture lands have been submerged along

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs, such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
 and Consumption.

 #'-r- OM Among the great
 &kMA discoveries of modern
 % y gA science, few are of
 A M more real value to M mankind than this ef- EWWk M fectual remedy for all
 diseases of the Throat
 H and Lungs. A vast A M trial of it's virtues, throughout this and MW#E other countries, has
 shown that it does
 surely and ef6ectually control them. The testimony of our best citi- zens, of all classes, establishes the fact, that CHERRY PECToRAL will and does relieve and cure the af1icting disorders of the Throat and Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs yield to its power; and cases of COnsump. ton, cured by this preparation, are public ly known, so remarkable as hardly to be be- lieved, were they not proven beyond dispute. As remedy it is adequate, on which the public may rely for full protection. By curing Coughs, the forerunners of more serious disease, it saves unnumbered lives, and an amount of suffering not to be computed. It challenges trial, and con- vinces the most sceptical. Every family should keep it on hand as a protection against the early and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Affections, which are easily met at first, but which become ncurable, and too often fatal, if neglected. Ten der lungs need this defence; and it is unwise to be without it. As safeguard to children, amid the distressing diseases which beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY PEcroRAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use, multi tudes are rescued from premature graves, and saved to the love and affection centred on them. It acts speedily and surely against ordinary colds securing sound and health-restoring sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influenza and pain ful Bronchitis, when they know how easily they can be cured.
 Originally the product of long, laborious, and successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll is spared in making every bottle in the utmost possible perfection. It may be confidently re- lied upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever exhibited, and capable of producing cures as memorable as the greatest it has eyer effected. su4jH45f. -st PREPARED BY -l,tsa .s.

| airs, and in the elegant costume of the
| rocco period, chatting gayly with an
officer who rode beside the carriage.
"Adrienner' cried the man in rags,
when he saw the lady, and made sud.
den movement toward the carriage. She
glanced toward the strange figure, the
aged beggar, as she supposed, and re-
sumed her conversation with the officer,
as she rolled rapidly across the square.
"Adrienne" repeated the unfortunate
poet "Adrienne!" but she was already
out of sight. He staggered into a narrow
street, sat down on the curbstone, and
wept like child. And there he sat- long
after the stars came out; then, suddenly
rising to his feet, he extended his hands
towards heaven and uttered a terrible
curse:
"Accursed be all women to whom rank
is more than worth Accused these
tyrants who tread US under foot Ac-
cursed be they, aye, ten times ac-
cursed ~ -
The curse of the poor satihst was des-
tined to prsve prophetic.
With her last gasp, Nine. de Pompa-
dour uttered the ominOus words, "After
me the flood! !" and the flood came in the
shape of deluge of blood-the revolu-
tion of 1889.
