Exit Ames.

Governor Ames of Mississippi (son-
in-law of Ben. Butler) recently went
out of the rear door in very humilia-
ting sort of way. Articles OF i'm
peachment had been presented nd
he was about to be tried. To avoid
this trial there was an understanding
that if he resigned all proceedings
should be dropped. So Ames, and the
Lieutenant Governor, who was In the
same dilemma, resigned, and the i'm
peachment came to an end. This es-
cape by the rear door might have been
expedient under the circumstances,
but it was cowardly proceeding, and
was in some sense confession OF
wrong doing. But Ames had better
luck than Belknap. The latter's resi-
gnatiOn did not arrest impeachment
proceedings. The Senate has already
constituted Court to try him, and for
the first time, probably, in the history
of the country trial of impeachment
will be conducted against man who
is out Of office. During the last ten
years considerable number of office
holders have resigned to escape i'm
peachment, among whom were no less
than three Federal District Judges.
But Ames is the latest illustration of
an impeachment which was stopped
by the retirement of the official by
the rear door.

A Romantic Wedding.

Yesterday afternoon Judge Alfred
A. Prescott and Miss Sarah Il. Foster
were Joined in the holy bonds of mat
rimony by Judge Mcguire, at Glen
Loeb, Mr.. Bartlett's lovely home. The
ceremony was conducted at the cele-
brated Pool in the cafion, which mas
been immortalized by our resident
srtist, Mr.. Ford. The path from the
ranch-house leading to the Pool along
which the bridal party passed Is nat
ural arbor of bridal wreath which
grows in wild Iuxuriance in these val
leys; and amid the music of the waters,
the singing of birds, and the signing
of the wind through the trees, the GER
emony which bound these two to-
gether for life was performed. Some
very impressive remarks, appropriate
to the occasion, were made by Judge
Mcguire. Judge Prescott is we'll
known member of the Massachusetts
bar, and was born at Beading, Mass.
Miss Foster. came from Cambridge,
Mass. And these two after voyaging
round the world, unknown to each
other, finally meet in the beautiful
valley of the New Italy, where they
are united, and continue the voyage
of life together. They intend making
a permanent home in Santa Barbara.

Everlasting Fire.

In the neighborhood of Haiku, ,on the
Caspian Sea, there is phenomenon
of very extraordinary nature called
the everlasting fire, to which sect of
Indians and Persians called Guards
pay religious worship. 1t is situated
about ten miles from the city OF Haiku,
in the province of Shirvan, on dry,
barren piece OF ground.
On it are several ancient temples,
built of stone, and supposed to be all
dedicated to fire, there being one
among them in which fire worship is
carried on. Near the alter there is q
large hollow cane from the end OF
which issues a blue flame. The
worshippers affirm that this flame has
continued ever since the flood, and
they believe that if it were suppressed
in that place it would break out in
another.
At a short distance from the tenn
pie there is horizontal gap, two
feet from the ground, about six feet
long and three broad, out of which
comes a constant flame of the color
of that in the temple When there
is strong wind it rises to the hight
vi ClShb iCCVS O0u AAuSh AOVSA 49,
calmer weather.
The earth around, for more than
two miles, has this extraordinary
property, that by taking up two or
three inches of the surface and APP
plying lighted lamp, the part un-
covered Immediately takes fire, even
before the flame touches it. The
flames make the soil hot, but do not
consume it, nor affect what is near
with any degree of heat.
1t is said that eight horses were
once consumed by fire under u roof
where the surface of the ground had
been turned up by some accident and
ignited. If cane or tube of paper
be set about two inches into the
ground, closed with earth below, and
the top of it touched with a live coal,
flame will Immediately issue forth
without consuming the tube, pro-
vided the edges be covered with clay.
Three or four ignited tubes will boil
water in a pot, and are sometimes used
to cook victuals. The flames have q
sulphurous smell but are inoffensive.

Sulphur Springs Heard From SULPHUR SPINGs, ARK.,l
 January 31st, 1876.

To the Editor of the DEMoCRAT:-
 The above is not the name of a town, but is the name of church located at the celebrated Sulphur Springs on the waters of Point Remove, about 20 miles north east from your flourishing town. It is Cumberland Presbyterian Church and is also used for a school house. It is very large, as indeed, is required for house for either purpose in this neighbor- hood, as there is said to be one hundred school children in reach of the house. As to the number of the church members l cannot say, but from the very large at tendance at Sabbath school and preaching, and the interest mani fested by old and young, l would think it a prosperous church.
 The soil is productive here. A large acreage of wheat is sown, which looks well.
 At a house raising at MT. Vaughan's last Saturday, a wall plate fell from top of the wall and came near crushing Dr. Bruton and Mir. Gibson. Slight hurts was the result.
 We hail the new school law with pleasure, and will perhaps advance some thoughts on ''Com mon Schools" etc, with youl permission, at some future time.
 To keep from becoming more tedious, 1 subscribe myself yours for the DEMOCRAT, or the

Board of Finance.

When the legislature created the board of finance, during the dark days of the state, in the winter of 1874, we had no money in the state treasury to defray the expenses of the state-our scrip actually sold as low as eighteen cents on the dollar-the state offices were necessitated to pay the expenses of their several offices out of their private means. In this exigency the Legislature authorized the board of finance to issue bonds, and sell them at not less than sixty cents on the dol lar, but it was found to be i'm possible to negotiate our bonds at that figure, but an offer was made to the board to loan the state the money, receiving the state bonds as collateral, at 90 cents on the dollar, if the legis- latutc would levy sufiicent tax to pay the loan of at maturity, which was done-hencc the mill tax. We think the present ar rapgement much better for the state than the first proposition, as by it we may pay back the money that we actually received, with It per cent. interest; whereas by the former our bonds would have been out for $l, 900 at 6 per cent, and we would have received, but $500; 6 per cent. interest on $l00C is $60-l0 per cent. interest on $500 in $60. So, it will be seen that the state makes a cleal saving by the present mode of 4( per cent, or $400 on each 5000 the interest being the same il either case on the money actu ally received.
 Of course, should the State fai to meet her obligation, she wouls be ten per cent. worse off than sh' would have been had she sold th'
