CiyiI Rlghts i'm Arkansas.

A correspondent of the New I ork
World, writing from Arkadelphia, in
Arkansas, under date Of july 18th,
uses the following emphatic Ian
guage: $500 h5ta,aaaz i
THE Civil Rights bill is already
operative in Arkansas as in Alabama
and Tennessee. Its enactment by
Congress is wholly needless. 1t is
doing its perfect work. 1t has trans
formed partisanship in all its aspects.
and Democracy and Repubficanism
are no more. It is enough to know
the. color Of mans skin, and.his So
cial and partisan status is at once
defined. He who votes with negroes
becomes a negro in every relation of
life, and the effort to Separate the
bIacIs from the carpet-baggers and
seduce them from sltegianee to Rad
icalism, so persistehtly made for
eight years past, is abandoned finally
and forever The Civil Rights bill
has done its perfect work and array
ed the two races in open, undisguls-
ed hostility against each other. Not
only has fatal blow been given tbe
public school system of the South,
but the gulf dug by Congress- be-
tween negroes and whites, which we
sought to bridge by supporting Gree
ley, is measureless in width as faith
omless in depth. Congress has done
its perfect work; the Civil Rights
bill is an accomplished fact it points
either to the separation of the races
or the destruction of one or the 9TH
er. Brownlow is a perfect exponent
OF the prejudices and instincts and
passions Of the masses, and his pub
lications are as eagerly read here as
in the mountainous districts of East
Tennessee.

On June 20 a poor Bergramesque
shepherd. while looking for some
stray sheep upon an unfrequented
hillside, almost facing the village of
Pontresina. in the Engandine, found
the skull and skeleton of the Rev.
BERTHE Marriott, the English clergy
man who has been missing since July
%. 1873. His identity. as we'll as
the accidental nature of his death,
has proved by his visiting card, let
ters and gold watch being found in
his pockets, by the sum of 250 francs
in french gold known to have been
about him being found in his purse,
and by the Baedekcr guide-book. in
which his name was written, being
found two or three yards from tile
skeleton. The spot where the remains
were found is near the bottom of a
lofty precipice and very difficult to
reach. It is presumed that Mar
riott's death was caused by his fall
ing over the shelving surface of the
prccipice.

Initinating a Candidate into the
Good TempIars.

A chap was taken from a larger
beer saloon. where he got tight,
without knowing that lager would
intoxicate, and put through a cold
water treatment by the Good Temp
lars, a few evenings since. He
"peaches'' on the Templars, and
gives the following expose Of their
initination ceremony, which we
doubt slightly, but give it for what
it is worth:
In the first place, the victim foI
/ initiation is blindfolded, bound hand
and foot, and thrown into 8 cider
press and pressed for five minutes
This is done for the purpose of clear.
ing his system of ''old drunks." He
is then taken out of the cider press,
and by means of q force pump gorg-
ed with cfstern water, after which a
sealing plaster. is placed over his
mouth, and he is rolled in a barrel
four or five times across the room
the choir at the same time singing
the cold water song. He is now
taken out of the barrel. and hung up
by the heels till the water runs
through his ears. lie is then cut
down, and a beautiful young lady
hands him glass of cistern water.
A cold bath is then furnished him,
after which he is showered by cistern
water. He is then made to read the
Water Works act ten times, drink
ing q glass of cistern water between
each reading after which the old
oaken bucket is hung around his
neck, and fifteen sisters. with squirt
guns, deluge him with cistern water.
He is then forced to eat a peck of
snow, while the brothers stick his
ears full of icicles. He is then run
through a clothes-wringer, after
which he is handed a glass of
cistern water, and his boots are filled
with the same, and he is laid away
in a refrigerator. The initiation is
now almOat concluded. After re-
naming in the refrigerator for the
space of half an hour, he is again
again taken out and given a glass
of cistern water, run through n
clothes-wringer, and becomes Good
Templar.

"a Under the postal laws post.
masters in little villages have their
salaries graded according to the
amount of postage stamps sold.
With considerable ingenuity some
of those poorly paid officials are turn
ing an honest penny by paying their
debts and making all their purchases
with postage stamps. They get
credit for all the stamps disposed OF
and their salaries are increased in
proportion.

being furnished mainly by private
stock subscriptions among the farm
ers and others along the various
lines, and not blythe capital of3those
who now control the roads.
2.-This private stock which constitut-
ed only comparatively small pro-
portion of the cost of the roads, has
passed out of the hands and control
of those who furnished even this
portion of the means to build the
roads, into the hands Of the present
railroad owners, in and ont Of the
State, at about 25 cents on the dol

the roads have paid for them re,y
small per cent of original cost; the
balance of the cost having been (and
is still being paid by the taxes of the
people, and by the original stock
subscribers. -E-f ~
3.-Prescnt owners Of the railroads of
the State by getting control of the
roads in the manner they have,
have amasscd immense wealth, and
in addition to the immense amounts
annually added to the value of the
railroads, are drawing princely salar-

of from 20 to 40 per cent on their
actual outlay.

Usinr Nails.

Every farmer who has occasion to
drive nail into seasoned oak posts,
knows its liability to bend and break.
If the point be moistened in the
mouth it will usually drive more
kindly. Oil is better, but then it is
inconvenient to dip each nail separ-
ately into it. Another point is, that
boards become loose eventually from
the rusting of nails in the wood, ,caus-
es not only an enlargementof the nail
hole, rendering the fence or building
shaky or insecure. This may be
prevented by heating any rough
grease until it smokes, and then
pouring it over the nails to be used.
The grease will penetrate the pores
of the iron. and cause the nails to
last without rusting for an indefinite
period. Besides this no difficulty
will then be experienced in driving
them into the hardest wood. The
reason is that the coating of grease
prevents contact by air, and conse-
quently oxidation. Oxygen is the
great destroyer ofiron, and moisture
is the inducing cause. Anything
which is kept from air is preserved
indefinitely, and if it is kept dry the
effect is measurably the same. Paint
upon buildings prevents the contact
of air and moisture. If the whole
fence cannot be painted, the heads,
ut least, of the nails therein should
be touched.-NeaCdrk Builder.

Henry Ward Bcecher on the Fate
of MIR Davis.


Rev. Henry Ward Beecher once
delivered a long sermon upon the
fate of Mr.. Davis, which is suggest
i've of the lines:
That mercy to others show,
h.a That mercy show to me. ..4sf ..sls
In conclusion he said: A55H
/ speak it with a certain relae-
tance, and the thought oftentimes,
when it comes even touches me with
grief: bat believe that Mr.. Davis.
for example, will be hung. Already
the scene rises before me. He IL
tried {; he is convicted; he stands on
the scaffold. All nations have watch
ed the sure process of the law; all
nations have listened to the charges
laid at his door; all nations gather
about the scafold. There are some
things to plead for him. He is man
of distinguished ability; he has con-
Quoted his war with pertinacity and
courage he was the beloved leader
efthe muItituGes of the, South, and
even now. millions of them would
shield him if they could. lie has a
wife who loves him, and children who
cannot understand his crime he IS
surrounded by a mighty, innumera-
bic North, who, the war being over
and its hot passions cooled, have no
hate and no malice, and nothing
more and nothing worse than chas--
tened, sorrowful Indignation toward
him Yhev would release him If they
could. If they could forget the dead
if they were not compassed about
with a great cloud of witnesses; if
their bells of victory we're not drown
ed by their bells ofmourning if they
could forget. their country; if they
could forget their God, they could
give way to their pity for a brother
man in his extremity. They hear
voices from over the sea-voices of
sympathy for him; voices of plead
ing occasional voices of threaten
ing, may be. But nothing avails-
nothing ayails he cannot be spared
he would not consent to peace; he
would not be Just; he would be pa
triot; he must die. And the axe
comes down, and the word shudders,
and the great traitor IS dead. And
[ claim that a scene and spectacle
as that " i'll do more for the stability
of the country and for the cause OF
public order than almost any dozen
great acts of these last four years.
It will take rank among the sublim-
tiles of history. 1t will have moral
dignity and weight which no mag
nifcent battle we have fought could
have. 1t will engage the attention OF
mankind as none Of our battles have.
It will be more easily comprehended
by them. 1t will be rebellion and
slavery epitomized and embodied in
the form and person of their chief
man, and then beheaded for their
sins. And the people will under
stand that simple, tragic thing. And
it will sink into them; and it will
hallow love in their feeling forever
more. Let it come then. History
waits for it. The greatest work OF
modern times-our loyal war, / mean
waits for its capstOne. Let 1T be
raised to its bed. Not with shout
.inos, but in silence and with tears, if
you please. But let it be raised.
And, in the words of our great mar
tyr, when he wrote the decree which
has made him immortal
"Upon this, our coming solemn
act of Justice, We invoke the blessing
of Almighty god and the considerate
Judgment of mankind" Amen and
amen. 9o- -H il -alea
