pondent of the Inter-Ocean write,
under date of August |: The most
terrible accident that ever occurred
in our State happened at Bawbce's
lake, favorite picnic resort in Hills
dale county, about thirty miles east
of this city, to-day. The Baptist
Sabbath school Of this city chartered
a special train over the Lake Shore
q Michigan Southern Railroad, which
left this city at 6 o'clock in the morn
ing loaded with Adults and children
intent on day Of enjoyment at Baw-
bees. They arrived safe at the pic:
mic grounds, and everything passed
off pleasantly until between one and
two o'clock, at which time party Of
seventeen, four adults and thirteen
children, were taking ride on two
scows which were fastened togo tier
and had seats arranged around the
side, The scow capsized, and nine
out of the seventeen were drowned.
The scows were about 200 yards from
the shore, and had been condemned
as unsafe. 1t appears that one of
them was in a very leaky condition
and filled with water more rapidly
than the other, throwing the weight
all on one side, which caused both to
capsize, throwing the passengers into
the water, which was over sixty feet
deep. Other boats were near by,
and all the assistance possible was
rendered. Eight were saved but
nine were lost The news was at
once telegraphed to this city, and the
most intense excitement ensued--
Parents were running hlther and
thither in terribly excited condition,
and the telegraph Office was besleged
by anxious people seeking informa,
ton about friends and relatives who
we're with the picnlckers.

cases do not wait for some one else to act; act yourselves and see that others do.
 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 dyaasty 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 he called to vote not only for candidates for state off ces, 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 ss important. Let each member of the party do his part as an individual, and the beginning at least 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 mittce, referring to the satisracto- ry advancement of our state on the road of political honor and material prosperity under Dem ocratic administration, desires to invoke tn. continued action or the whole people to secure the perpetuation of q condition of af- fairs so satisfactory to every pa trlo:ic citizen.
 In a period incredibly short, Arkansas has been redeemed from state of political vassalage and financial bankruptcy to that of 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 in the fullest sense represent the sentiments and interests of the whole party. As each individual must suffer bv the maladlninistration of pubhc affairs, so is he under obligations to assist in shaping events SC as to secure a pare and cohpc- tent administration.
 Your committee urges prompt action in this matter, first upon the county executive committees In counties where q call for con yention can not be regularly made from any cause, it is suggested that as many as three members of the party in fair standing III each township might unite m a joint call for township and county conventions, giving ample notice and thus eflectually organize the party without the intervention ot a mass meeting for the selection of al executive committee. AS to the exact mode of organizing 10 positive direction is given but the hope is stronglysinduige. that such organization may be CT fected as that the will of the party may be fully reflected in all th' conventions township, county congressional and state h sucl

There isgenera,ly a considerable los ofmemory, accompanied with pain ful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of g prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although lie i, satisfied that exercise would be bene- ficial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy.
