AGREEABLE HOMES.

Intemperance has become the
bane Of every nation, and despite
the prayers of women and the laws
of men, its soul-devonring progress
goes on.
Old men and young men together
will linger around a bar-room all
day that is disagreeable even to
themselves, and when the last light
has been extinguished, they will peer
out into the darkness as if they
shuddered to think of returning to
their homes. But why this dread
of retiring! The very same thing
which drove them to this den of
loating in the morning, which in
most instances is the want of a
more pleasant resort. Young men
will remain where it is the most
agreeable, and if their home is made
gloomy by any reason, they will
seek society elsewhere and at the
saloon are sure to find companions
with whom they can for moment
drown their lonesomeness.
Young men must have recreation,
and for this very reason they haunt
such places with no evil intention,
till at last they partake of the fatal
cup. Many a young man taus fee
ing from disagreeable home, has
formed habits that have blighted
life's bloom.
Prayers may be fruitful in the
sanctuary, but neatness and agree
al lleness at home will make that,
instead Of the saloon the center of
attraction, and if the parents have
better morals and more virtue than
children. they can mould. .f. .schar-
acter and instill into them whatever
principles they choose.

APPRECIATING the scarcity OF
locals, Mr.. Stephen Terril, last
Thursday, proceeded to run a II
horse power feed mill, when some
of the betting giving out, a loose end
went for him with great vigor, Sc
vesely lacerating his face and left
arm. The injuries are not likely to
prove permanently serious, but for
the time-being Steph's beauty is
sadly marred.

EVERY FARMER NEEDS lT.-The
Western R,ral, published by H. n .
F. Lewis, is large weekly paper of
eight pages, forty eight columns,
and will be found valuable both as
farm and family paper. 1t con-
tains as much matter as many of
the monthly papers published at
the same price, while its columns
are filled with contributions by val
liable writers and able CORES
pondence.
The pressing need of a more
widespread knowledge OF good
farming, and of preserving the fertil-
ity of the soil, is now being heavily
felt, and we trust that ere long a
good farming paper will be found
in every rural home. Those wish
ing to subscribe for such, will find
none better or cheaper than the
Hesteyu Ruro}. This valuable pa
per is designed especially for the
West. but its great value to nearly
al readers has led its way to almost
every state in the Union.

THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE TOWARD
ARKANSAS,

ne WANTS CONGRESS TO RELIEVE HIM OF REsPoN-
sIBIIITY-THE BROOKS PARTY BLAME HIM FOR
THEIR OVERTHROW - THE PRESIDENT WANTS
JUDGE POIAND's COMMITTEE TO REPORT A
DEFINITE POLICY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON. Feb. 5.-The representatives of the
two parties in Arkansas each claim the President on
their side and this has given rise to several widely
different stories in regard to his attitude toward
that State and its rival politicians. The President
does desire that Congress shall pass some act or
JOINT resolution enunciatng a policy i'll regard to
that State and from this fact it has been inferred
that he desires an order to overthrow the Garland
Government. AS nearly as can be learned this is
not his position. He has been repeatedly urged
and begged by the friends Of Mr.. Brooks to put the
latter back at the head of the State Government
where he was when the President intefered be-
tween him and Mr.. Baxter; aud the Brooks party
really hold the President responsible for the over
throw of the friends of the Administration in
Arkansas. The President is, therefore, annoyed
and would like to have Congress take the response
biity off his hands No doubt, if Congress would
declare by JOINT resolution that Mr.. Brooks
must be renstated in Arkansas the President
would be glad to use all the force
at his disposal to put him back
there. because Brooks is one of his supporters
but that is not the thing that troubles HIM most
And just here is where the President and the
Special Committee of which Judge Poland is
Chairman, disagree. The latter makes no recon-
mendaiOn, and it is understood that the President
in his interviews with members of that Committee
has urged them to submit some policy. If their
report goes in without recommendation it leaves
the President just where he is now, with all the
responsibility on his shoulders and that is just what
he complains Of
