ment Among the People.

The gold fever at searcy, White
county, appears to be growing in heat.
The following article is clipped from the
White County Record Of May &c:
Several weeks ago we had a humorous
item about gold that came near being
discovered in the digging of Mr. Frazer's
we'll. We were told then that the metal
proved to be isinglass, sulphur, etc. But
it seems upon closer scrutiny by expert.
enced men, with proper chemicals, etc =,
what appeared to be trash then, now
turns out to be genuine gold. We have
seen several specimens that were washed
out Of the sand taken from the well, and
1t is as pure an article of gold as ever
came from. the mines of California.
There is no humbug about this. Profess
scr Baker had some particles of quartz
taken from near the well where the dig
gings were thrown, and placed it under
bis microscope, and it showed as pretty
a specimen Of gold quartz as could be
found Other parties had larger pieces,
and all looked rich.
Mr.. Hu6s weli.borer was put to work
again on Tuesday, and the result was
better g~old-bearing sand than before.
Old California miners have taken 3

out; one came over from Little Rock and
took a look at il, and they all pro.

Mr.. Johns, pronounced it sheet gold oil

ing country for miles, and says it ia the
best field Of gold he has seen. He spent
several years in the California mines.
Other gentlemen who have experience
in mining say that they have no doubt
but that this strata Of gold underneath
our town is in immense quantities.
We had a conversation with Mr..
Frazier since the above was in type, and
he informs us that from all the lights be-
fore him, he doubts whether the vein il
very thick. True, he does not know
positively, but coujeotures from the
quantity Of white rock and black sand
which was taken out Of the we'll. Mr..
Frazier thinks the white rock is thin
and the vein Of black sand not more
than four inches in thicknrss. After the
excitement got started Mr.. Frazier puI

Betrayed BY a Kiss.

NJ. D. Conway, the London cor
respondent Of the Cincinnati Com
mereial, tells a curious Indian story.
The yiceroy had received SOME.
offensc from Scindia, and could not
ayenge it openly w%hereupon he
meditated and took the following
deeply %deliberated method of retail
alton; When a large number of
native princes came up before him
to make their ~obeisance, no sooner
did the offending Scindia enter
than the %yiceroy sprang forward
with unwonted elfusiyeness and
kissed him on both cheeks. Such
contact from an alien and a chris
tan is the EXTREMIST faint a native
can receive. Scandals own wives
would not come near him; in one
moment he sank in the eyes of all
India from a prince to a pariah,
and ever since the poor man has

fortune, 10 cleanse him from the
yice-regal kiss by which he was

Discharged from Cuptody.

Rachael Franklin, a colored woman,
was discharged from the county jail.
Some time since she presented q claim
for bounty, having lost a husband in or
after the war; but Rachael swore she
vas q widow, whereas in fact she had
married again and therefore was not en-.
titled to bounty. For committing perjury
and attempting to defraud the pension
Office she was arrested, but was dis.
charged to-day from custody because she
is in an interesting condition, about to
be confined, and many ladies with whom
she had lived interested themselves in

We notice by the Indianapolis Herald
that one of the ministers of that city
drives q horse that can trot down in the
"forties." A State exchange, whose edi-
tor is a dyspeptic Presbyterion or a
Methodist, we surmise, raises its hands,
hguratively speaking, in holy horror, and
laments the degeneraey and fearful Elk
ample of that minister. Now we say
good for the minister" We congratu-
late him that he is able to own a horse,
and has the good taste to appreciate the
higher types of the noblest animal given
to man. II we were acquainted with this
divine we doubt not we should find him
a man OF broad ideasfa real Christian, .
successful fisher of men"--a successful
fisher for all except "bullhead" men. To
say that a horse 10 fast has too long been
enough to condemn him 10 the eyes Of
the churches, when the glory Of the horse,
IS God made him, is his speed aud
strength. Too long have narrow and
contracted views reigned, in many re.
spects, in the churches, and this is their
greatest weakness. As long as the devil
Owls all the best horses, how are the
agents and ministers of the Lord going
to catch up with him aud wrest from him
his victims? Too long has it been the
case that he rides swiftly behind fast
hotses, while the ministers Of grace"
scramble after him on spawned hacks.
The real Christian according to our idea.
represents the highest type Of manhood
or womaDhood, and is entitled, if any.
body is, to the bestgifts the Great Father
has prepared for man. When the minis.
ters Of the Lord, and their disciples, dis.
card prejudice and bigotry, give Their
spawned and r~ingboned nags over to the
boneysrd, and enter the great race o.
life with swift, well trained thoroughbred
coursers, then goodbye to dependence,
on the men in the judges stand for wiz
nirg the race by marking up the score
and falsely reporting time.

There are two normal schools for

have the advantage of another

Northern religious society. The
State debt is now about $1O,000,OOO,

is seyenty-iye cents on the 800,

levied about the same tax when they
were in power, but paid no interest
