Nothing has yet been heard Of Smith, nor has
there been any demonstration in his behalf by
anybody in any part Of the State. Judge Poland,

tlves and cannot be found. All quiet and the
government moving on well and admirably"
The Cabinet was in session two and half
hours to-day, during which the Arkansas trou-

decided that there is not now before the Govern

take any action in reference to the controversy in
that State: hence no notice will be taken of the
proclamation recently received from Smith, who
claims to be Governor of that State.

THE EXPRESS ROBBERS.

CINCINNATI, Nov. 17.-Edward j. Hackney, the
third confederate in the American Express rob-
berry, was arrested to-day, but denies completely
or knowledge of the affair. He has been recog-
nized as one Of the two men who carried the
trunk out Of the Office. Geo. Black, who assisted
in the removal of the trunk end safe, confessed
to-day, saying he and Hackney were paid $500
each by Monroe to carry out the trunk and safe
In company with officers he went tonight
back OF Covington, to where he said they buried
the safe. The safe was found at the place ihdi-
Gated by Black, buried in the ditch, alongside
the railroad. The lock had been picked and the
safe was empty, except a small package Of jewel
ry, which was probably over ooked by the thieves.
The detectives are confident that the greater
portion will yet be recovered.

ARKANSAS QUIETING DOWN.
Gov. Garland Supported by the People.
Especial to the Bulletin. I

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Nov. 17.-Don't believe the
sensational kilograms from this place. The
would-be usurper Smith has no strength here.
Gov. Garland has the unbounded support Of the
people Of Arkansas, and he is sustained by the
President, who promises not to interfere. Gar.
land can sustain himself. Only one arrest.
Smith and his Secretary Of State, so-called. can
not be found, but reward Of $1,000 win probably
fetch them. Trade is good, business brisk, the
people buoyant, and general confidence restored.
No danger OF an outbreak or collision. No
Ku-Klax or White Leaguers, and nobody afraid
of any except the guilty few.

THE CHRISTOPHER DISTRICTS.

OMAHA, Nov. 1.-THE weather to-day hes
been very cold with high wind. The news from
the grasshopper districts is meagro, but confirm
all the previous statements as to the extent OF
suffering. The State Relief Society are shipping
supplies daily to the afflicted districts. Gen.
Crd received a telegram from Washington to-day
instructing him to ascertain what amount Of
mems clothing will be needed by the sufferers.
1t is hoped the action of the Secretary Of War
looks to the distribution of soldiers garments to
these suffering people.

A negro of Baltimore has had warning
which, if it does not turn him from some Of
the errors of his ways, ought at least to con-
vey wholesome lesson to others. He had
been indulging in strong drinks to an excess
and was enjoying a cheerful attack of delrium
tremens. One morning he got out of bed
and assembled to the roof to take an air-bath.
Then he was seized with the delusion that the
people in the street were trying to shoot him.
To escape from them he jumped from house
to house and ran along the combs of the roofs
until the row of houDes came to an end. He
then dropped himself down chimney out Of
the range of imaginary guns. He slid down
the chimney until be became firmly wedged
above q stove-pipe hole, and in that stove a
fire had just been built to cook breakfast.
The negro now became impressed with the
idea that he had reached the internal regions
at last, and howled accordingly. It was nee
essary to chop a hole in the chimney to re-
lease him.

Liverpool Cotton Report.
Extract from w. G. Watts l. Co. 8 Weekly

EXlI6CC 1IOm W. ~. W8ttS q w. VooA1y
Cotton Report, Liverpool, 30th October:
The crop accounts from India are still very
good, and at the moment there seems to be
every prospect of fair average crop; at this
time last year, be it kept in mind, however,
the accounts were Of quite glowing charac-
ter, and the result certainly proved that the
season had been exceptionally favorable.
Taking general view Of the position and
prospects Of cotton, we are strongly of the
opinion that it is now safe property. In our
recent circulars we indicated the possibility Of
a decline such as has now taken place; but
Notwithstanding the depression now surround
ing the market, the situation is not without its
cheerful aspect. Stocks here are moderate,
supplies in prospect the coming season are not
excessive, the trade are bare of stocks, fresh
imports of cotton are coming in at low prices,
the money market is easy, breadstuffs cheap,
and indeed all the elements of healthy reac-
ton are present. 1t only wants some occa-
sion to show itself, and this we think will not
now be long wanting.
The stock of cotton held by English spin
ners we now estimate at 126, 900 bales, against
10000 last year, and 124, 900 the year before
at same date.

LIVE MEN FOR DULL TINES.

There is bit of genuine philosophy appli-
cable to the times 10 the following from the
Philadelphia Commercial List:
Something like renewal of business ac-
tivity justifes the hope that the season of SUI
pineness and Indifference which characterized
the reaction from the panic is over. There
have been men, and there always are men,
who will make use of the most unfavorable
circumstances, and out of the nettle danger
pluck the flower of safety. But these are rare
Individuals When times are good, the sea
smooth and the wind fair, it is easy sailing,
How we apples swim! Bnt a mans energy
and courage are shown in adverse times, wien
everything is discouraging to the common
crowd-for men are always in crowds sand
when the general apprehension aggravates
danger into disaster. Ourlbest men are those
who do most, and tits true saying that il
you want thing done you must ask man
who has already both hands full.

According to the Claiborne Advocate, the
people of Homer are not the best marksmen
in the world. That paper says:
It is calculated that if our town boys land
men) follow squirrel hunting for the next
twelve months as industriously as they have
followed it for the last two, the Darbone
swamp will be lead mine from Hamilton's
field to Prices.
About one squirrel killed for every forty
shots is said to be good average for the best
marksman, and they have trotted both hind
legs and the tail off the only squirrel dog in
town.
CHSNcEs FOR L1v1NG.-A medical writer of
eminence has been collecting evidence as to
the chances of life which children have, upon
being born, in different countries. Out of
10000 children born it is found from official
statistics that in Norway as many as 7415, or,
roughly speaking, three out of every four,
live to 20 years Of age. In England only 1927
80 live or 788 fewer than in Norway. In the
United States the boys have nearly as good q
chance of life as in England, while girls have
not. But in France only 5O22, or scarcely
more than one out of two, attain that age.
More surprising still are the statistics regard
ing old age. Out of the same 10000 for
example, we learn that in Norway 34S7, more
than one out of three, reach seventy; in Eng
land almost one out Of four; in the United
States, still men only, one out of four-a
trihe higher than England; in France,
1776 or about one out Of 81, and in Ireland
861, or one out of III. If this table is to be
depended upon we thus learn that Of all coun-
tries in the world Norway offers the newborn
child the best chance Of long life, while Ire
land offers the worst. And France, univer-
sally admitted to be, so far as soil and climate
are concerned, one of the most favored regions
of the earth, offers but little better chance
than Ireland.
A HARD MONEY CONGRESS. analysis of
the membership of the next House shows that
on the currency question it will be much
sounder than the present House. Many of the
prominent Republican infationists of the
present House have been defeated. Gen. But
Ter, the solitary Representative from New Eng.
land in favor Ofrag money, is left at home. In
New York the only Representative elected who
is in favor of expanding the currency is Rich
ard Schell, and he did not show his hand until
after the election The majority of the Penn
sylvania delegation in the present House favor
more paper issues, but in the next House not
more than one-fourth of the members from
that State will be on that side. In the West
large gains have been made to the hard money
side. In the South it is probable that there
has not been much change, but on the whole
it is very safe to assume that the hard money
party will have decisive majority in the next

ADJUSTMENTS

The OPERA.-The first performance Of Rigo-
lettO last night was great success, particularly
for Mile. Vercken, whose magnificent voice had
not yet been heard to such advantage as it was
in the great quartette Of the fourth act-to our
mind at least, the finest thing that Verdi ever
wrote.
She was well seconded by Madame Teoni, who
acted and sang the subordinate part entrusted to
her like true artist that she is-by Mr.. Felt
lnger, to whom the same praise also belongs
and to Mr.. Meric, who played the title role with
much dramatic power, and Was very warmly
applauded.
The chorus of the second act, sung so "piano,
piano, piano. that we heard not a word thereof
thing about it. We hope the gentlemen ged
therein will be less confidential tomorrow night,
when the opera is to be repeated with the same
cast. !" Che ca piano no ga se'npre sano."
VARIETIES THEArRE-The enthusiastic au-
dience which greeted the second performance of
"Cancarty," the new sen satiOn, certainly ought to
be more than satisfactory to MIR. Owens. The plot,
which is highly finished and full of dramatic pos
sibilities, more than pleased those who had the
good fortune to be present. This drama will be
repeated again tonight much to the satisfaction
of those who eager to witness this interesting
and historical comedy. The cast was unexcep-
tionable, and take it all in all, it has been years
since SO interesting and truly artistic piece has
been placed upon our boards.
The ST. CHARLES THEATRE. The Majiltons
last night received quite an ovation from our
amusement-loving people; in the Spider Dance
pa ticularly they were tremendous. The gobling
operate spectacle entitled s. Ding Dong" with its
laughable situations and eccentric cOmicalties,
produced quite sensation. Look out fer to-
morrow night-a repetition of this interesting
programme.
GLOBE THEATRE.-Kit has reason to congratu-
late himself on the audience present last night
to witness the new stars, Miss Maggie Weston
and Miss Minnie jackson. After every act the
several artists received repeatt d encores. The
orchestration Of Prof. Vosel was marked event
of the season.
The ACADEMY OF Music Messrs. Baker and
Farron were last night greeted by large and
select audience to witness their and startling
novelty, "The Cut Glove" The performance
passed of as does every one at the Academy with
smOthness and artistic effect. This play abounds
with startling situations and terrific effects, and
will doubtless draw, during the rest Of the week,
enthusiastic audience.
GAIETY THEATR1.-Last evening the appear
ance Of the new star, Miss Kate Harver, was
witnessed by an appreciative audience, and
every one seemed to enjoy themselves highly.
The numerous artists acquitted themselves cred
itably, and especially Miss Lillian Howard in her
Louisiana Flag song.

PRESENCE OF M1ND.-Professor Wilder gives
short rules for action in case OF accident: For
dust in the eyes, avoid rubbing, dash wafer
into them; remove cinders, etc, with the
round point Of a lead pencil. Remove insects
from the ear by tepid water; never put a hard
instrument into the ear. If an artery is cut,
compress above the wound; if vein is cut,
compress below. If choked, get upon all
fours and cough. For light burns, dip the
part in cold water; if the skin is destroyed,
cover the part with varnish. Smother fire
with carpets, etc.. water will often spread
burning oil and increase the danger.
Before passing through smoke take full
breath and stoop low, but if carbon is sus-
pected walk erect. Suck poison wounds, I'M
less your mouth is sore. Enlarge the wound,
or, better, cut out the part without. delay.
Hold the wounded part as long as can be
borne to hot coal or end of cigar. In case
of poisoning, excite vomiting by tickling the
throat OF by hot water Or mustard. For acid
poisons, give acids; in case of opium poison
ing, give strong coffee and keep moving. II
in water, float on the back, with mouth and
nose projecting. Forapople1y, raise the head
and body ; for fainting, lay the person fiat.
