A CORRESPONDENT of the ST. Louis Globe
draws terrible picture of the present con-
dition of Arkansas. lie says that every
branch of business is in a state of collapse,
and that real estate is being sacrificed at any
price it will bring. The state is flooded with
an issuance Of state, county and corporation
scrip. The state scrip is worth but twenty
four cents on the dollar. The rate of taxa
ton has been increased from five mills to
twelve anG half mills, and not dollar of
interest has been paid on the state bonds for
the last six months. For this condition of
affairs the Globe correspondent holds the So
called Democratic Conservative party re-

These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures OF Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
be injurious to the human constitution. is
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
ton, probably contain opium, which is somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases, and II taken freely by
consumptfve patients, it must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which Of course must make cure impossi-
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle OF opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood and thus correct all NOR
bid secretions and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way 1t is obv-
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.

THE new French army is modelled almost
exactly after the German model. The "corps
d'elite," formerly attached to the infantry,
are done away with, and the cavalry no long
er contains regiments Of lancers. No men
between the ages of twenty and forty are
absolutely exempted from bearing arms, and
this system of universal service gives every
year 100000 men for the army. Of this
number $4,000 enter for five years, and the
remainder for six months.

A GENTLEMAN residing in this city, good
soldier on the Union side in the late unpleas-
antness and who now votes the Democratic
ticket, informs us that the much denounced
Marshal Packard of Louisiana is greatly mis-
judged. The gentleman mentioned, served
in the regiment, knew him intimately not on
ly during the war, but through subsequent
years, and his opinion is that the man has
been most unjustly censured. He makes the
same remark respecting Postmaster Lowell
who is also Maine man.

A FOOLISH MAN LOSES HIS WIFE.-Dr
Barber of Rutland, Vt, several months since
married a Miss Bailey of that place; Miss
Bailey, as she states in her card, had already
given her heart to one Tybalt, and gave her
hand TO Barber reluctantly and under protest,
to please her father. Last week Tybalt APP
peared, interviewed Mrs. Barber at the house
OF lady friend, and the result was prompt
elopement to Montreal. Barber and his father
in.law followed, found the pair, but the woman
refused to return, saying that she was content
where she was; that as soon as she could OBJ
tain divorce she proposed to marry Tybalt.
treal papers was quite Interesting; but the
moral seems to be that man is a fool TO marry
any woman against her will, or under duress
from her parents.

AND now those people in the West who
have exhausted all other matters for the con-
sideration of Which Conventions can be called
have revived the question of the removal of
the national capital to the Mississippi valley.
As a..direct proposition this is the most karm-
less.pretext for assembling the surplus elc-
quenee of the West. Its proceedings if con-
fined to that subject would awaken about the
same amount of interest as speech OF Andy
johnson, or another fifteen column statement
by Theodore Tton. AS scheme for. the
present it has about as much prospect OF sue
cess as proposition to build railroad to the
moon. If the takers must talk, by all means
let them become eloquent over this subject.
1t is said, however, that the purpose of the
Convention is not so much to move the capt.
tai as TO take measures to unite the West in
Congress to frighten the East to more fully
recognize the claims of theWest and particu-
larly its demands for greater facilities for trans
portation, such perhaps as Senator WINDOWS
balloon-like propositions. 1t may be that
other infations, that of the currency, for in
stance, may claim consideration, though there
is every reason to believe that the West has
exploded that humbug. /
THE resignation, by William G.. Blanchard,
of his position as New England Agent of the
Associated Press, as has been announced in
our Geographic columns, will be much re-
GREETED by the press Of this state. Mr..
Blanchard Joined Mr.. D. H. Craig in the or
ganization of the Association, and it is to his
care and skill that we owe the admirable
news arrangements throughout New En-
gland, especially for the thorough election
returns, which are notably better than from
any other part of the country. For twenty
five years he has filed the place most eff
GENTLY, and to his constant watchfulness
over every part Of his district we are in
debted for much of the interesting news
which we have daily laid before our readers,
and for his never-varying courtesy, we wish
to render cordial acknowledgment. His
ready sympathy for new papers struggling
against the difficulties of their position in
small places, has been of great service to the
papers of Maine, and their good wishes will
follow him in whatever direction his wishes
may lead him.

Act ON the Defensive.

Persons who subject to the influences of bad
air and unwholesome water to constant exposure out
of doors and sudden changes Of weather. should act
the defensive by imparing to tneir constitutions
the power of resisting such influences The fortifyng
effects upon the system of Hostetters Stomach Btters
are simply amazing. Thousands who use them as
preventive of malaria enjoy an alb slute immunity
from its attacks although dwelling in regions where
that scourge is most prevalent. Artisans and labor
whose occupations keep them in the open air find
the Bitters complete safeguard against the effects
of exposure Travellers testify that they counteract
the influence of torrid heat intense cold and MAS
matte air: Free from every Objectionable feature,
gradients, agreeable stmulant, a wholesome tonic
and corrective and sovereign protective it Is not
surprising that the Bitters should be the most pop

The season OF Intermissenfs.

All miasmatie complaints, in other words
all disorders generated by unWholesome ex-
halatioas from the earth or water, are preva-
lent nj this season In every section subject
to the visitation OF fever and augue or OF er
forms of intermittent disease, the causes
which produce these maladies are now active
ly at work This, therefore, is period of the
year when the inhabitants Of such districts
should prepare their systems TO meet the IN
wholesome condition Of the atmosphere, by a
course of tonic and Alternative treatment.
FOTeU ost among The invigorants, recommen-
ded by time and experience, as a means of
fortiiying the system against all endemic and
epidemic maladies, stands Hostetter's stom-
aeh Bitters- Whoever have Travelled IN the
West or South knows full vel the esteem in
which this Incompatible preventive and re-
storative is held throughout those regions It
is literally domestic staple in the swsmpy
and mephific localities which lie on the boz
ders of many of our large rivers and In the
neighborhOOd Of our southern bayous and
lagOons. Now is the time when the inhabit-
ants of all malariOus districts should put their
systems and constitutions in good defensive
trim by a course Of this powerful vegetable
antidOte. BY this means the feeblest resident
Of an unhealthy soil may escape the sickness
which without the aid OF this potent ally OF
nature, will bespt to oveTtake the strongest.
ChilIs and fever, bilious remittents, cOnstipa-
ton, Fheumatism, dyspepsia, and many other
complaints are frequently brought on by the
eaprices Of temperature and alterations Of
dry cold and excessive moisture common in
our climate at the commencement Of spring.
Let all who desire 70 avoid these distressing
ailments take the Bitters as a safeguard.
