occasion to go down tne road, and had
to wait for the train. My abiding
place was one of those dining tents,
where had taken a meal in the mean

one evidently was very raw. HIS dress
was semiclerical, and as he held forth
in no constrained manner about the

enioyed in an uncouth way, poking
small chaff at him. IL the midst of
one Of his TRADES against "thls sink OF
perdition," man came into the tent,
walked UP to the bar, and demanded
drink. 1t seems for some reason he
had been refused before. Suddenly
throwing his hand under his coat, he
drew sixshooter, and half facing the
crowd and the bar-keeper, he said !:
"By G., am going to have a drink,
right here, or I'll turn loose" (mean-
ing 10 shoot). To tell the truth, most
of the terrible old-timers sunk under

Negro Riots in Arkansas.

\ most powerful evidence Of the natural result
and consequence of the eriminally ridiculous
policy of the Republican party toward the negro
race in removing just restraint from them so
hastily has been recently manifested in Austn
Arkansas. Some three weeks, OF more, ago Il
Dir. Smith in defending himself against the at
tack ofa negro man accidentally shot and killed
II little negro girl in the street Of that town.
Ths, We are told SO eNasperaed the negroes
that they took the doctor to neighborng woods
and but for the interference of the sheriff, would
have hung him Since that time until last Fri
day DR.. Smith has been voluntary inmate of
the Jail To prevent being mobhed by the negroes.
On that day he was removed from the Jail by his
friends and taken 10 fernando On learning
this the negroes again collected and informed
the Mayor of Austin tlat unless Smith was re-
turned to Jail they would burn the town. The
whites collected for the defence Of the town,
whereupon the negroes collected from the coan-
try in large numbers, armed with such weapons
rs they could get and besieged the town. On
Sunday fight occurred in which several negroes
and two white men were killed. and others in
iured. Assistance WAS sent TO the whites from
MemPhs and other places and at length, after
several days of anxiety the riot was queled 1t
threatened at one time TO become ii war OF
races. These attempts OF the negroes 10 thus
take the law in their own hands have been quite
frequent of late in various parts of the South.

SIN is very much the offspring of ply ysical ill
health and feeble stomachs. During one-third
of our time the processes of digestion must go
on in our bodies, and if the stomach and bowels
are not well, nothing is well. To be dyspeptic
is to be miserable; moreover, dyspepsia is the
foundation Of fevers and diseases of the blood,
liver, skin, and kidneys. Dyspepsia invariably
yields to the virtues of the vegetable Ingredients

Alarm, Of Fire.

| Middletown was thrown into fever of excite
ment on Thursday afternoon by the cry that the
large fruit drying establishment Of the Delmarvia
Co., was on fire. Smoke was seen issuing from
the roof in large quantities and ii was evident
that contlagration was threatened The citi-
zens FASTENED 10 tho rescue in answer to the
prolonged call of the steam whistle of Messrs
Hamilton h WoodalFs Drill factory, and by the
most strenuous efforts and the free use of the
Babcock extinguishers, the fire was controlled
before much damage was done and the noble
building was saved from the flames.
When the cry Of s'6re'' was first raised the
Babcock engines were called for, but to the dis
may Of the people but few Of them could be im-
mei,ately found, and of those that were available
some had not been recharged since last used and
were not in condition to be of service. It was
once proposed 10 keep the extinguishers all
together on truck SO as TO have them ready for
use. This should by all means be done and they
should be always kept charged. 1t is generally
admitted that it was through the of them
that the Delmarvia building was saved, but
should large fire break ont and the extinguish-
ers he scattered all over town considerable delay
would be experienced in getting them together
and much damage might thereby be suffered,
before they could be brought into service.
The fire at the Demarvia was caused by the over
heating of one of the eraporators, thereby setting
it ON fire. The wire frames (52 in number) used
in drying the fruit were all burned or broken
and rendered unfit for use. The full amount of
damage done we have not learned

pers, OF II difficulty that occurred between two r
X. officials at Millngton. From letters rceev-
ed from the participants ii now appears that
there were some erros in our statement, but what
those errors were does not transpire, except that
it is said to have been exaggerated We are Of
6eially informed, however, that the matter has
been amcably adjusted and that the right hands
of peace and fellowship have been casped across
the bloody ehasm; = that the whole affair is
settled to the satisfaction Of al parties and every
thing is serene. All this we are heartily glad to
hear, and would particularly be pleased to be
able TO announce 10 our readers that nothing of
the kind occurred and that neither of the parties
was there that day.
