 OFTIIE RUSSELLVILLE DEMOCRAT,

THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in dependent in it's course, undc- no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Pope county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fearlessly and at all times assert it, to speak it's own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of its duty as an independent journal Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. Iii short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon its own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for it's chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and are conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardize, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as enteTpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on- ly fools or enemies expect a degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession

The Legislature Of this Territory
convened nearly four weeks ago, and
nothing of Importance has been done
There are laws now in force that
ought to be repealed, and there is
room for the enactment of new laws
that would be Of considerable benefit
to the whole Territory. Inducements
should be held out to immigrants to
come and settle among us; means by
which capitalists would be induced
TO invest in our mines, that have al
ready been proven to- be rich. Assis-
lance should be exteudetto the pro-
posed railroad through Southern Ida
no. We cannot expect much prog
.ress until the road is completed, and
the sooner the enterprise is carried
out the better it will be for us. We
also want telegrapbic communication
between our counties and with the
outside world, and .somc assistance
that could be easily extended to such
enterprises would, III few years, be
regained by the Territory through
taxation Of other enterprises that
would necessarily follow.

AN INcIpENr OF SEAFARING LIFE

AN INCIDENT OF SEAFARING LIFE
Many years ago, two brothers, Capt.
Nathaniel Smith, of Gloucerter, and
Capt. Ammi r. Smith, of Ipswich,
made many voyages in the European
trade. 1t so happened that when one
was at home the other would be
abroad, and they had not seen each
other for years. One morning on the
broad Atlantic, two ships sighted
each other, the one going east and the
other west. with strong breeze.
The usual preparations were made
for speaking, and upon ranging with
in hailing distance, the sails were
thrown back, and there, trumpet in
hand, stood the two brothers, face to
face, each on his own quarter deck.
AffectioEate greetings, with the It'd
ings from abroad, and the thrice well
come news from home were exchanged,
and after cordial wishes for each 9TH
er's prosperity, the vessels filled
away on their courses. They did not
meet again on shore or sea for MANY
years afterward.

MATRIMONIAL CoMPLICATIoNs.--A
Scranton lady finding that her hus'

not been divorced was quietly married
in his absence the other day. Now,
says the Times, the affair has taken a

The bigamist has returned and put a
damper upon the newt y welded
couples bliss; and the lady having in
timatcd that she knew how it was
before he lured her into matrimony,
he is considerably exercised over the
possible result of the matter provided
she pushes it, and the newest husband
feels as though he had gotten into
al awful mess, and, take the four to-
gethcr, the man with the two wives,
the woman with the two husbands.
the man with wife that he can't lc-
gally claim, and the woman with
husband whom she don't care to claim,
it's an extraordinary complicated af-
fair, and there don't seem to be any
very peaceful way out of it for any of
them.

t-Ob~ Ds-At 4CAi'y 4OtOs
Mr.. N. q. WaHace-It has
been some time since you and
your readers have heard from
your old friend W. Having
had occasion 10 pass through
the Cold Water neighborhoOd
recently, and seeing many old
friends, | could but call TO mind
bygonc years when in my boy
hood | used TO romp over the
hills and care no more for them
than if they had been level
plains. We were glad to find
such n contrast between now and
the fall Of IA, when they all
thought hard times had come
cure enough. But We learn
you have had two good crops in
your county, and that proyis-
ions are plentiful; but it seems
an epidemic is among the hogs
and many arc dying. 1t is a
source of great pleasure to yis-
it our homcstcads after an alb
sence Of two or three years.
Things may charge in some
respect but the hills and valleys
and even the rocks and trees
look as familiar as though we
had been absent but ashOrt time.
1t is pleasant when we are at
our home in Alabama, TO let our
minds range back TO our old
home in Lincoln. We can pic
ture almost every family, from
the source Of Cold Water to its
mouth, in our imaginations gath
cred, on a cold wintry night,
round their hearthstone talking
over the events Of the past day
or year, while the children are
playing their merry games and
dreaming Of nothing but a life
of pleasure. But as We pass
along we find a family now and
then that doesn't number as
many as when we left. We in
quire after the aDs1iit member
ard learn that the rude hand Of
Death has passed that way and
they have gone the way Of all
the earth. We were in your
town a few weeks since, but had
only a few minutes 10 stay or
we would surely have called at
your office. We imagine we
see you at your post gathering
items for your many readers,
WHO are so anxiously waiting
the arrival Of the mail, as we
used to in order to bear your
paper home. We didn't hear
much said concerning the po-
litical contest of the day, but
suppose they are waiting impa-
tiently to hear that all is well.
[ suppose You would like to
something from this sec
ton and how we are all rocking
along; we will endeavor to tell
you something Of North Ala
some time in the future,
if kind Providence permits US.
Giving you and your readers our
best wishes. we close. w.

81 That thecount-y should be
full Of indignation meetings there
can be no question. The proposed
outrage warrants them. But any
indignation meeting will be harm.
fol that has not as the beginning
and end Of its mission obedience
TO the law. Incendiary utteran-
ces will not only avail nothing,
but will do positive harm. The
Democratic party proposes 10 com
pei the Republican party, which
has initiated the lawlessness, 10
initiate also the violence, if the
violence be begun at all. The
spirit Of all the indignation meet
ings should be everything to main.
tain the law, nothing against it.
