IMMIGRATION IN ARKANSAS

Here Is encouragement for our Ag-

immigration in North Carolina gener-
ally. 1t is from the Little Rock
CARTE, which says, as if speaking by
authority, that the efforts put forward
by Texas during the past year to
bring immigrants to that State, have
resulted in an increase of population
OF about two hundred thousand. This
IS the result of two causes-frst, the
government is in the hands of the peo-
pie; and, second, she has Bureau of

after her Interests in that direction.

NICE WORDS OF A NICE MAN.

Az
If the present Congress would only
attempt the reconstruction Of certain
men on the same principle and in the
same manner that it has attempted the
reconstruction of certain States, we
might feel more leniently disposed to-
wards them in our criticisms OF the
fearful results that have followed such
ubiquitous causes. So far as Butler
and his compeers are concerned, the
people, sitting both IS Judge and jury
have thoroughly worked up their
cases, bat there are few rampant
roaring iackasses in lions skins roam
ing hither and thither throughout the
country whose cases are yet On TIE
docket.
Such is Senator Zach Chandler, OF
Michigan, one of those who fail to re-
cognize the fact that not only has the
war passed away, but that the people
are tired of hearing blood-and-thun-
der talk from those whose well-kno"n
interest it is to keep alive the fast
dying feelings Of sectional animcslty.
Chandler is O q. s. Senator from
Michigan, q position in which men
once served their country instead OF
their party, but he is also at the head
Of the Republican Congressional Exec
utive Committee, o fact which Will
probably explain his extreme an1nos-
ity towards the people of the South.
This animosity, the leading character
istic of Chambers party, found vent IN
the following expression used by him
recently at Coldwater, Michigan
IF our volunteers should be called
upon to 90 South, which I hope they
never will, and if they should ask my
advice before they start, which they
won't, my advice would be not to
waste their time in capturing prisoners
while their ammunition lasted. Ii II
did give out, they might capture tie"
for hanging purposes.
This bunconlbe talk would have
sounded well in the ears of Northern
men only, perhaps, little tedious
from constant repetition, had it beer
dated ten years earlier, for Chancellor
is one of those bloody veterans who
always fight their battles hundreds O
miles removed from the scene OF con
fiict, and with strong army Of fight
ing men between themselves and The
foe. But at this time, and emanatinG
from such O soulce, it might, will
much reason, h, taken as the oficia
expression of the Radical Republicans
It simply means war in the South, ant
bloody war st that, should the rap
scallians whom Chancellor leads eve
again find q pretext for q second in
vasion of the South. It is significant
too, OF the fact, that in the perio'
intervening between this and the mex
Presidential election attempts are t
be made to again SIRE the Norther
heart" by incendiary speeches in TIL
North and incerdiary torches in til
South. But recent events justify u
J in believing that tie effort will fail
and that honest men CT both parties

On THE RUN.-We are glad to see
that though the result of the election
in Michigan is not encouraging to NO.
mems rights in the way of voting, yet
other fields of usefulness are gradually
opening before the female sex. There
are other things besides voting in
which ladies can become competitors
with men. At a recent fsir at North
ampton, we are told that 1.-The Gopher
Boy Mr.. Moulton, matched his wife,
Mrs. Moulton, to run any woman in
America. This Mr.. Moulton, it may
be remarked in passing, is not tho
Moulton reno med in the games of tho
Plymouth Chulcb, and when lie pro-
poses to run his wife it is for foot
race. It seems "The Gopher Boy"
has run race with her himself, giving
her twenty. FIVE yards start, and she
won by foot. Here is chunce for
some of our American female champi-
ons of feminine equality in everything
with men. Voting is not the only
thing which women know how to do
and which the lordIy sex have hereto
tyre debarred them from. Let Susan
Anthony & Go. bring forward our
American women to take the conceit
ont OF "The Gopher Boys" wife.

4" The Two Breaths."

So FAR as pure air is concerned, some
hints are given by Canon Kingley which
may be useful even to the poor, or to
employers who care for the poor. He
describes what he calls the two
breaths," and their effects. The two are,
of course, the breath you take in-which
is, or ought to be, pure air, composed, on
the whole, of oxygen and nitrogen, with
a minute portion of carbonic acid''-and
the breath you give out, which :" is an
impure air, to which has been added,
among other matters which will not sup
port life, an excess of carbonic acid.
He then points out that this carbonic
acid gas, when warm, is lighter than the
air, and ascends; and when at the same
temperature as common air is heavier
than that air, and descends, lying along
the floor, "just as it lies often in the bot
tom of old wells or old brewers watts, rs
a stratum of poison, killing occasionally
the men who descend into it." Hence a
word of admonition is addressed to those
who think nothing of sleeping on the
floor; and hence, as 1.-THE poor are too
apt, in times of distress, to pawn their
bedsteads and keep their beds" the
friends of the poor are entreated never
to let this happen, and to keep the
bedstead, whatever else may go to save
the sleeper from the carbonic acid on the
lfioOr"-ChamGers' Journal
