The English Mission--The "Feeling''
In ENGLAND.

There could only be one feeling in this
country about the rejection of Mr.. Dana as
the Minister to the English court. 1t was
the act of combination of the democrats
in the Senate and o few dissatisfied republi-
cans. The democrats exercised their un-
doubted party prerogative of voting against
any candidate named by Grant. No one
questions their right to do SO, although it
would be much better to have such names
as Bayard and Thurman on the other side
in a campaign for the Presidency.
But what is all this excitement in the Eng
lish press about the Minister to the English
court? The Saturday Revic,o, the Spectator,
tho Daily Ne,os, the Pail Mall Gazette,
and other newspapers are in .
dreadful way about Mr.. Dana. The
London correspondent of the Tribune
informs us that this condemnation is be-
slowed with an unsparing severity rare
indeed with English journals" In the first
place, we do not think it the business of the
English press whom we do or do not send
to the English courts In the second place.
We have as good men as Mr.. Dana, who will,
no doubt, win the approval of the Senate.
How would the English newspapers regard
the comments of the New York press with
unsparing severity" upon the refusal of the
English government to send some Minister
who was pleasant to US? We should be told
to mind our own business, and this is the
advice we feel like rendering to our brethren
Of the English press.

The jury found verdict for $4,000. This
question of fees and allowances, which has
become such an abuse in the courts of New

case. The matter should have legislative
attention. The lawyer should have his hire
like any other laborer. But the way we ar
range it now leads to manifold injustice and
corruption.

The Opening or the French salon.
We print this morning IN important de-
spatch from Paris, sent to us specially by
cable. giving brilliant picture of the
opening of the Salon for the sprins
exhibition. This despatch will inter.

art. It is in these exhibitions that we SEQ
that confederation of the nations" that
parliament of man" of which the poets
write and theorists dream. The effect of the
opening of the French Salon is to determine
the art taste of the world for the season. We
take our fashions in art from France as well
as our fashions in other things. Our corre-

painters to achieve excellence in the clas-

from the tendency to realism which came
with the rise of the pre-Raphaelites, and
which 80 keen thinker as Macaulay hoped
would spread, because only by spreading
could it lose an influence which he regarded
as trivial and pernicious. This description

To-day, thanks to the cable, the art world of
New York is enabled to follow these studies
in the columns of the HERALD and to learn
the lessons of beauty and taste which an ex-
hibition like this teaches, not alone to
France, but to mankind.

A letter from Marion, S. c.. says:
Mr.. Henry Berry, whose remains were
given to the flames in Marion county, a
few days ago, was possessed of consid-
cradle means, owning about 90, 900 acres
OF land, and having in bank about S15,-
600 or 500, 900. About fifteen years ago
he had occasion to take up the dead
bodies of two children, and, seeing
their condition, vowed then that when
he died his body should be burned in
stead of buried. He accordingly made
his will, dividing his property out
among his children, but inserting pro-
viso that his body, after death, should
be burned, and. in case it was not, the
whole OF his estate was to go to church
near by, the one ut which he worshiped.
Some time ago he took member of his
family into a piece of woods near the
house and pointed out the exact place
where he wanted to be burned, and also
the trees which he desired cut down and
used for the purpose. Last Monday he
died at the age Of eighty years, and his
body was put in plain box las lie had
directed, and the size of which he had
given) and hauled in a cart, drawn by
u mule, to this place. He had provided
that $500 he given to William Hure-
ling, n mulatto, to whom he was much
attached, for experimenting the burn
ing. Six logs Of pitch pine were put
on the ground, and on these, forming
two tiers, were laid five other logs.
Lightwood was piled about on the logs,
and at the head, foot and sides of the
box containing the body. The whole
hight Of the funeral pyre was ten or
twelve feet Several male members OF
the old mans family were present, and
number of negroes, but, considering
the occasion, the crowd was small.
Torches were applied simultaneously,
and with good deal of agitation, to the
four corners of the pyre, and when our
informant left the scene the fat wood
was burning and blazing and cracking.
The old man had directed that his ashes
should mingle with those of the wood,
and all be blown away together.

that it was justly merited There is in the

 It is an important era in our history, and the destiny of the country for years to come is to be determined. The same corrupt dynasty under which Arkansas suffered so long has now possess ion of every department Of the federal government, except the lower house of congress. That is doing faithful work, and Ar kansas has four representatives to give her voice expression.
 You will be called to vote not only for candidates for state off ccs, but also to appoint delegates to represent you in the National Democratic convention for the purpose of choosing candidates for the highest executive offices of the general government, and with the prospect, for the first time in many years, for giving your preference expression at the general election. The occasion is propitious, as well as important. Let each member of the party do his part as an individual, and the beginning at feast will be secure.

ARKANSAS DEMOCRACY
Address of the State Central
 Committee.

In the opening of the political campaign for the present year, the state central executive com mittee, referring to the satisiacto- ry advancement of our state on the road of political honor and material prosperity under Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke thu continued action ol the whole people to secure the perpetuation of a condition of ai- imrs so satisfactory to every pa trio:ic citizen.
 Ina period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from a state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of q sovereign equal in the Amer ican confederation, happy and prosperous at home, and respect ed abroad. To the people of the state, through their representa- tives, belongs the honor. 1t only remains for them to act together to perpetuate the blessing. To that end your committee has call ed q convention to assemble at the state capital on the l4th day of June next, and urge upon all who have the interests of the state and party at heart, to take part in the effort necessary to make that convention ill the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party As each individual must suffer by the maladlninistration of pubic affairs. so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events SC as to secure a pare and coihpc tent administration.
 Your committee urges promp' action in this matter, first upoi the county executive committees In counties where a call for con yention can not be regularly mad' from any cause, it is suggested that as many as three member' of the party in fair standing Il each township might unite Ill joint call for township and count, conventions, giving ample notice and thus ehectually organize tn party without the intervention o a mass meeting for the selection of q, executive committee. A to fine exact mode of organizint no positive direction is given but the hope is stronglysind,uiSe that such organization may be eI fected as that the will of the part may be fully reflected in all th conyentions--township, county co~ -vessional and otate. m sue
