Oriental Manners at the Centennial,


The Orientals here are perpetual source
of amusement. Their mild and pleasant
ways, even when they are engaged in dis
putes, seem very funny to the Western
Caucasian. Their profuse gestures and pic
turesque costumes have now become 50 COM
mon that even the visitors from the eOun-
try do not long stare at them. But their
manners of thought are ever new fountains
of delight for our people who come in con-
tact with them. Their ideas Of our civil.
zation are so totally different from our own,
and often so much less favorable, that We
can hardly fail from time to time to be
shocked; but generally their views Of
things provoke only smile. The Cypriote
Greek who brought me my coffee one even.
ing at the Turkish cafe answered, when
asked him how he liked America: Hol
Merika good a-place to make a-money not
place a-liver Then, drawing a long breath,
he added: 'sBreathe not liveH by which Gu
rious remark suppose he meant to express
the idea that mere existence was not LIE,
and that the only life worth having was the
sensuous, favored one Of his own delicious
climate.
An American friend related to me day
or two since his experience in studying the
character Of well-bred Turk who lived in
the same hotel with him. This Turk, who
is beginning to speak a little English, is an
affable, amiable, ropnd-faced, well-dresSed
gentleman, who does not seem capable OF
harming a fly. But the other day my
friend, seeing the accounts in the morning
paper Of the terrible massaeres in Bulgaria,
read them aloud to the Turk, expecting
from him some deprecstory remarks, none
came; the Turk smiled sweetly as he heard
the thrilling accounts Of children impaled
upon bayonets, women strangied' ana men men
hanged, and, rubbing his hands, ne salai
soon - Then, suitipg the action to the word,
| he went through the motions OF tossing
child on a bayonet, and burst into laughter,
saving: ''0fuch good; that make them

timents were quite natural and instihabls.

THE RUssELLvILLE DEMOCRAT THURSDAY JULY 1s, 1876.
THE ELECTORALNOTE.

CLARK TOWNSHIP, July 10th, 1876. To the Enitor of the DEMOCRAT:
 l wish to ask you to publish for general information tie number of votes each State casts for President in the Electoral college; also, what states in your opinion, will go for each candidate. Although, we arc satisfied Tilden will be elected, by an overwhelming majority. By an- swcring the above you will confer Il favor. Respectfully,
 SUBSCRIBER.
 The electoral vote of the States is as follows.
 DEMOCRATIC.
 New York 35; Missouri 15: keu- tncky B; Tenncsse l2; Virgidia II !; West Va. ,; Georgia II; North Car olina 10; Alabama 10; New Jersey 9; Maryland &; Texas S.; Connecti- cut 6; Arkansas 6; California 6 :; Florida i /; Oregon 8; Mississippi s; Indiana l5; Delaware 5; Nevada 3 :; Colorado 8. Total, POI.
 htIt BllCaNs
 Pennsylvania %; Ohio 9; Illinois 21; Massachusetts I3; Michigan II :; Iowa II; Wisconsin 10; South Caro- lima :; Maine z; Vermont ,; New Hampshire ,; Kansas D; Nebraska 3; Minnesota 5; Rhode Island 1 :; Louisiana :. Toral, l65;
 Grand Total 369; Necessary to elect 1855.
 We have arranged the States un- der democratic and republican col umns as we expect and believe they will go. Under this arrangement we have given New Jersey, votes, and Connecticut, votes, which are doubtful, to the democrats, but even if they go republican the dem ocratic ticket will still be 9 votes ahead. Or, we can give the repub- licans Indiana and Colorado {lS votes) and still leave enough to elect Tilden and Hendricks. Or, we can give them Connecticut, Colora- do and New Jersey (lS votes) and still win. Louisiana would go Democratic if left free and untram- melled, but we place it republican because we believe the use of federal bayonets will be brought into requi- sition to carry it for Hayes and Wheeler. If it should go democrat ic, then we could yield the Hayes ticket Indiana, New Jersey, and Colorado (27 votes) and still elect Tilden and Hendricks.

CROP PROSPECTS.
An Encouraging Outlook.

In Pope county, the tillers of the soil have every reason to feel gratc- ful, for the smiles of kind Proyi. dence have certainly rested upon the farmers of Pope county this year. It is true the present rise in the river has overflowed some few fine farms and some damage has bee Il done where part of the farm was very low. But such a corn crop as will be made has never been exccllcd ill the county. Many men say they never saw such corn.
 Wheat has beeh harvested and is about an average crop. We rest easy on the bread and meat question. Cotton, although backward at the first of the season, has come out amazingly within the past few weeks and will make a good crop.
 We have taken some pai3s this week to gather as full information as possible from the various counties of the State and from the report which we are enabled to give we feel that the whole of Arkansas should rejoice. We are now in bet ter condition than ever since the war, and in fact we are in as good condition as any State in the Union, and in much better than most of them. Those who contemplate moving to Arkansas will never find Il more favorable time to come. Bread and meat is going to be abun- dant and cheap.

to London to ask his banker how and where
he should buy them. The man of business
recommended the various noted artists of the
time, among them Turner. Off went the
square, podgy, rough little man to Turner's
abode, asking at the door if the painter-man
wSs at home. The great artist was busy-he
could not see him; elliott walked past the
maid, up the stairs, and pushed open the studio
door. 81 say, Turner, that believes your name,
what's the figure for this picture" turning it
as is ii were dried Goldfish toward him. The
painter raised his head an instant from his
board, and said carelessly, -Four thousand
suiness. And this other to the right. pursued
elliott what's the price of that? Three thou
sand pounds was the answer, and this one on
the lest" Fifteen hundred guineas'. Ill take
the three said elliott. Then Turner rose and
laid down his pencils. VINO the devil are you
INV studio against my orders? You must be
queer begsar, fancy You're another queer
beqsar,' was the reply; Il am elliott, the PEN
maker. My banker tells me that you're clever
in your business and recommends you, and
have come here to buy some of your pictures
by George! you are droll fellow, must say
You're another, must say But pursued
Turner, 'rough-and-ready though you are,
rather like you. Do you really want to pur-
chase the canvases you selected?' Yes, in
course do, or 1 would not have climbed your
blessed stairs this morning. Well, M. elliott
1 must be frank with you; when noticed you
in my studio without permission, thought it a
piece OF impertinence, and when you asked
the price thought you did so as many vulgar
people do, for mere curiosity, having no inten-
ton of buying. wishing only to know what val
uation put upon my works, and 1 gave you a
price which suited my humor. Two of the
pictures are already disposed of; the other. the
one you spoke of, is at your acceptance for a
thousand pounds will take it, said the
princely elliott; and want you to make me
three or four others at your own price Thus
the pen maker and the eccentric artist became
friends, and warm friends too" Thus writes
Mr. j. E. Freeman in Appleton's Journal.
