Happy Arkansas.

From the Missouri border to Red
river, and from the Indian country
to the Mississippi, We have the
most cheering news Of crops, the
happy and peaceful disposition OF
the people and the prevalence OF
an industry which has marked the
state since the war. Go
where you will, new fences
can be found, OLD fences re
paired, new ground put IN culti-
walton, old waste fields fenced and
made use OF, and everybody at
work with cheerfulness. The wheat
crops look better and more extern
sIvc than for years. Corn, cotton,
oats and rye promise an abundant
yield. More and better vegetables
have beon raised than ever known
before. There is less laziness and
more industry than there has been
since the war. Scracely an idle
man can be found anywhere. Ev-
erywhere abound evidences Of thrift
and industry.
The people of Arkansas are hap
py and contented. 1t is the first
year since the war that they have
felt that they could reap the benefit
OF their own industry. The first in
which they have felt their relation
with the general government were
fully restored, and that they were
indeed citizens of the republic, en-
titled to all the rights and priv
leges enjoyed by citizens Of any
other state. Happy, Tree, and con
tented Arkansas All hail to the
new order which brought this
about Il Gazette.

A few evenings ago a lengthy
and impressive sermon was deliver
ed by one of our colored circuit ri

Mr. H., the minister IN question,
had before him large number and
it was natural that he should desire
to make an lmpresslou--aceording-

build him a boat and brung into it

The reverend gentleman had n
great deal Of hard labor in finding
the right kind Of material to build
the boat with; fnally tho arc was
completed and put into the water
after a powerful sight Of pcrspira-
,ion and cloquence had flowed
then came the work Of arranging
apartments for the many beasts,
etc. that were TO be provided for,
and it was not till Mr.. II. had sunk
exhausted thrice, that they were
all put where they couldn't get UP

did not belong to them. The last
one worked on and that by two
long hours tugging and blowing,

slowed sway, except bis tail, the
planks pulled in, the bell rang and
word passed TO the engineer to

Breathing and Thinkinp.

The connection between abund-
ant breath and sound, vigorous
thought is thus illustrated by cor.
respondent OF the Germantown tel
egraph.
Some years ago, gentleman OF
thoughtful, studious habits was pa
cling the F,chburg Depot in the
city of Boston, waiting for the
train. His general aspect was dis.
tressed and sad. Ii YOU had seen
him, you would have observed that
his skin was pale, his eyes CLASSY,
his manner nervous.
There was every symptom OF
Shat we may call depressed vital
action. His circu alton seemed to
leave the surface and extremities,
rushing in upon the mucous surface
aud up to the brain. He had dys-
pepsia. His head was full and
pressed. A thousand cares in Il
relentless tempest rushed through
his soul, and life was m serablc and
bitter.
Beng Thoughtful, studious, and
well int prmed, he naturally thought
within bImscli Tor means Of relief.
He asked himself, "What can do
to alleviate my distress ?" Then
he concluded
81 don't breath enough"
He began to tako pains to in
Crease the depth and iullness of bis
respiration, and from that hour his
health improved.
This interesting fact reminds us
of the intimate sympathy existing
between the lung and the brain-a
sympathy which all persons Of in
tellectual habits should practically
As n rule, the mere a
man thinks the less does he breathe.
You can satisfy yourself of this
fact. Notice when you have for
some time been intently absorbed
in thought; you will rally your
powers by long, deep, full breath.
In that breath you do as much
work rs in several ordinary respl.
rauons. What is the physical dc
sign? !, is to make up for the
loss while you you have been
thinking.
lie that hopes TO think vigorous
ly must take care 10 breathe copi-
ously. This statement is applca-
bic to the healthy breathing pro Q.
cution Of any bodily function. II
You fill your lungs with air

the execution and accomplishment
will be reader. We have seen four
ladies lift n heavy man on the tips
OF their forctingers, the person to
be lifted being in Il horizontal po-
sllion, and all the parties, previous
to the lifting, filing their lungs at
command.

Over one hundred thousand
dollars worth of dogs, principally
pointers and settlers, were brought
to this country from England du.
ring the past two years. The Juror
about Laveracks, red Irish setter,,
Gordons and kindred breeds is now
as great as ever that in Japan
about spotted rabbits. No dog
that costs less than ono thousand
dollars is now considered worth
owning. These valuable animals
have their pedigrces preserved
with rs much care as the nobility
of England.
Here in Osccola, we have more

A Hard Spell.

We used to have some good
spoilers IN New Orleans. Some
years ago, captain kimball, having

her name on the wheclhouses. A
day or two after he returned to

As the report that we were very

To tie Editor Of the Commercials
1t is a painful sight to the christian, viola
ton of civil as well as an offence against Di-
vine law to see scores of young men % and
boys congregated on the street corners of our
city desecratipg the Sabbath day.
Their dancing, profanity, and obscenity are
shocking to the moral sense of any civilized
community yet here it is INDUCED in from
Sabbath to Sabbath unchecked caught up by the
passing air, and rung down on the ears of ladies,
gentlemen and policemen alike, none apparently
daring to stop them,
In the midst of community like this where
there are 80 many churches, schools and refor-
matory institutions it is manifestly sad COM
ment on their moral discipline received at home.
Having however passed beyond parental con-
troll and become the duty of the authorities to
interdict it would it be wrong to suggest that
they have been recreant to their trust Would
it offend their ease and dignity to call their at
tention to it again that the policemen might be
instructed to rgidly forbid 1t in future so that
ladies and church going people might pass the
corners with freedom, and the ASSURANCE OF not
being made the subjects of remark.
