For 1875.

"HE first session of the Fayetteville
Il High School for Boys will begin JAN
uary 4th, 1875, and close June 18th
following. We propose to make it a thor
oughly graded school,; but as this will re-
quire some time, we are not able to an
nounce the grades at present. Having stud
led the question of textbooks and CONSUL
ted with others, we find very forcible rea-
sons in favor of adopting substantially the
course Of books used by Prof. Hatcher in
the Female Academy" OF course our
grades will very nearly correspond with his,
and so will our ra. es of tuition:
/. First and Second Grades. -. $500
Third and Fourth do -. 1890
Fifth and Sixth do 80. 24.0O
High School do -. 24.OO
Incidental fee. l.OO
You will notice that these terms are for
six months.
Students will be charged from the time
they enter until the close of the session.
Special arrangements may be made in
special cases. One-half of the tuition and
incidental fee payable at the beginning of
the session. Deduction only in case of
protracted sickness.
We offer you a permanent school and
ask your patronage. Respectfully,
T. NJ. FISHER.

'Once allow the doctrine of in.
struetion to have a place in our
system, binding the representative
in the immediate discharge of bis
duty, and all the evils of pure
Democracy become apparent.
The right of instruction has
always been claimed by the Dem

act regardless of the expressed
wishes of bis constituents. That

unseating persons claiming to
be members of the Louisiana
Legislature, and giving their
places to persons contesting the
same, is true, and is legal and
proper, then the same interior
ence would be legal and proper
here, and it seems to me to be
the duty of the Representatives
of the people Of this State to at
once enter a vigorous protest a.
gainst the action that may be
made a precedent at some flu
ture time for the overthrow of
civil government here. If there
I is law warranting the settling
of contested election cases in a
State Legislature by the use of
Federal troops, then, in my
judgment, you should request
its Immediate repeal. If there
is no law for it, then your in
dignant protest should be heard
at Washington, insisting upon
such action by Congress as will
prevent in the future such fla
grant outrages against civil lib
erty."

In the House, Mr.. Noblett
offered joint resolution rails
ing a committee of three from
the House and two from the
Senate, providing for an exami-
nation into all the rumors or
charges in connection with the
office of Comptroller, with full
power to send for persons and
papers,and to report by the 18th
inst.
That is a movement in the
right direction. 'IIobbs" ought
TO be thoroughly ventilated, no
matter who it hurts.
An interesting feature of the
Senate proceedings was the dis
cussion Of the various resolu-
tiens touching the high handed
partisan outrages now being
perpetrated in the State of Lou
isiana, in the name of the Gov
ernment, by the Administration
and its convenient partisan a
gents. The discussion indiea-
ted a deep sense Of the alarm
ingly despotic suggestions of a
reckless partisan Administra-
ton, but also, as deep sense of
the grave responsibilities of the
representatives Of the people of
Tennessee, in seeking to pre-
sent properly an expression of
popular sentiment. There was
a manifest disposition to avoid
precipitate action in the prem
Uses and the matter was referred
to the appropriate committee.
In the House, Mr.. Mathers
introduced an important bill
which has for its object some
much-needed reforms in the as
sessment law. It provides for
Board of Equalization. Mr..
Gibson introduced a bill which
proposes to reduce the expenses
and membership of the County
Court; also doing away with
the Office of Tax Collector and
giging his work to the Trustee.
The vote for Governor was
counted, in convention of the
houses, and a committee was
appointed to notify Gov. Por-
ter OF his election.
Senate bill passed third read
ing, prohibiting traffic in deadly
weapons.
New bills were introduced to
provide for State Superinten-
dent, District School Directors,
and the County Clerk to be Su-
rerintendent, to make consta-
bles collectors of revenue, to
amend the criminal laws of the
State, etc.
The sergeant-at-arms of the
House was instructed to arrest
w. w. Hobbs and bring him
before that body to tell what he
knows about the sale of the
Comptroller's Office.

can is departing from the faith.

LITTLE Rock, january T.
The following was published to-
day:
70 the People of the United States:
Having seen a dispatch of
General Sheridan's'to the Sec
rotary of War, in which he
speaks Of the terrorism as ex-
listing in the State of Arkansas,
we feel it to be our duty in be-
half Of thereligious communities
with which we are connected TO
say to the world at large that
there is 10 such thing as terror
ism existing in this State, and
no repression of public opinion
or of private action except that
imposed by an ordinary code
Of laws, and that since the last
Of May of the past year the
country has been profoundly
quiet. There have been no per-
sccutions, political or otherwise,
and as far as we have been a.
bic to learn no White Leagues
or any other similar associa-
tions.
AS General Sheridan has not
been in Arkansas, and could on
ly have formed an opinion by
hearsay, this fact may account
for an opinion of the existence
of imaginary evils, for which
he proposes a remedy which of
itself would extinguish all law
and procure a condition of af-
fairs which would be a terrorism
indeed.

"baker's dozen" of curly heads.
Every morning my slumbers greet
The patter patter of twenty-six feet.

Thirteen little mouths are filled with bread and

Thirteen little tongues are busy all day long,
Twenty-six little hands, with doing something
wrong,
Till am fain to do,
With an energy, too.
And when my poor husband comes home from
his work,
Tired and hungry, and fierce as Turk,
What do you think is the picture he sees?

And worn-out mamma, with her hair all a.

Strong and angry William beating little Nelly;
Charley in the pantry eating currant jelly;
Richard strutting round in papa Sunday coat;
Harry at the glass with razor at his throat;
Robert gets his fingers crushed when Susy shuts
the door,
And mitigates their aching with forty pound

Baby at the eoal-hod hurries to begin,
Throwing In his mite to the universal din.
Alas! my lord and master being rather weak OF

Begins to lose his patience in the stunning top

A Deed And A Word.

A little spring had lost its way
Amid the grass and fern;
A passing stranger ScOoped well,
Where weary men might turn;
He walled it in, and hung with care
A ladle at the brink;
He thought not of the deed he did,
But judged that toll might drink.
He passed again, and loi the well
By summer never dried,
Has cooled ten thousand parched tongues,
And saved a life beside.
A narneless man, amid crowd
That thronged the daily mart,
Let fall a word of hope and love,
Unstudied, from the heart;
A whisper on the tumult thrown,
transitory breath;
1t raised q brother from the dust,
1t saved a soul from death.
. germi o founti o word of love!
D thought at random cast!
Ye were but little at the first,
But mighty at the last!

The Yankees Horse.

\ Yankee who was travelling through
Kentucky had Il fine horse, and no money.
He had taught the animal to lie down or
sit on his launches when the bride was
pulled pretty hard. Our traveller saw no
way of replenishing his purse but by selling
his horse, and this he resolved to do at the
first opportunity. As he was going slowly
along, he saw Il hunter at some distance
from the road, whom he rode up to and
accosted In the course of the conversa-
ton, he told the latter that he had an
invaluable horse to sell-horse that would
act precisely like setter when he was in
the vicinity of game.-Casting his eyes
around, at the same time discovering some
fresh rabbit tracks, he gave the bride a
jerk. The docile quadruped Immediately
laid down.
There are some rabbits here, said the
rider; Il know by his ears"
! The kentuckian, curious to test the reput
ed sagacity of the horse, searched around,
and sure enough. started three or four rab-
bits. He was greatly surprised; but the
Yankee took the affair as Il matter Of course
TO make long story short, the wonderful
horse changed hands on the spot, $500 be-
ing the considerations His new owner
mounted him, and with characteristic hos.
pitality, the Yankee agreed to accompany
him home They soon came to stream
which they had to cross and which wa:
rather deep for horsemen. Judge of the
Kentuckian's dismay when, on pulling the
bride in the middle of the river, his steeJ
Immediately subsidized in the running water,
as if he was a hippopotamus.
"How is this ?" he roared out, nothing
but his head visible.
The Yankee, who was mounted ON tn,
hunter other horse, was not disconnected
in the least, but replied, coolly
ooh, forgot to tell you he is as good foi
fish as he is for rabbits -
