Two little boys passed through town, Sat
urtay morning, OH their way to Fort Smith,
in search of some relations, one 8 years old.
and the other l3. They have performed n
wonderful feat, walking all the way from
Texas county. Missouri. They are orphans,
and are in search Of their only living kin. 1t
is really distressing to think that two such
tender children should have been forced by
any circumstances to take such trip. May
they find home among their friends at Fort
Smith, worthy of the moral herosm and
pluck which they have manifested.

from the opinion of Chancellor Eakin. of the
Pulaski Lhanccry Court that the question of
penalty interest. or interest at a greater rate
after maturity Than before. has been decided.
The notes sued on provided for ten per cent,
until maturity. and twenty per cent. from ma

the twenty per cent. interest after maturity
| is in the nature of a penalty, and could not be
collected that interest at the rate of ten per

BEAST BUTLER is trying his hand at
prophesy, and says thatifwar is avoided
now, it will be sure to come when the
Presidential vote is counted in 1876.
The reason he assigns for the war is
that they will not submit to the elec-
ton of a President by southern votes.
He does not condescend to explain
who are the people who will resist
such an election, nor who are to fight,
or be fought. But in spite of this
omission, his meaning is as plain as a
sunbeam-it is simply threat that the
Radicals will 60 to war to prevent the
Inauguration of a Democratic Presi-
dent. Had Morton $ scheme for count
ing the votes been adopted, Butler S
party, could have comprised its pur-
pose by peaceable, but grossly fraudulent
means. The game of rascality being
denied them, they resort to intlmida-
ton of voters, by threatning civil
war unless they vote the Radical ticket,
The South has no stock in such war,
aud if the people of the North want
to fight for and against free govern
ment, let EN- rip, we shall look quiet
ly on whilst they pay the penalty OF
fifteen years of madness and folly.
We have but one caution to give them,
that is to hide their Spoons if Butler
goes into the fight.

door of the house was open and

Hardly had I gotten in the yard, when
/ heard terrible growl, and upon my
looking in the direction from whence
it proceeded / discovered to my horror,
an enormous bulldog coming towards
me at full speed. l turned, thinking
to escape through the gate, but he was
too quick for me, for having seized the
neither end of my breeches, he tugged
away at them in q manner which

keep on my feet, a happy thought
came into my mind; snatching the
dinner which l had placed in my pock
ct, l threw it behind me to the dog,
which to my great relief let go, and
upon turning round | saw that he was
choking himself with it, having the en-
tire bundle in his mouth, paper and
all. By this time the family, which
consisted of the father, mother and
about nine children, had collected
around me. The little ones were all
making a great clamor, while their
father having seized the dog by his
collar, took part Of the paper from his
mouth and let him swallow the rest of
it with my dinner, which he speedily
accomplished, then having administer
ed several hearty kicks, he turned the
dog loose, which Immediately sneaked
under the house. | was then led in,
and good, substantial meal placed be

my appetite had now returned. When
