Tho magnitude Of this task can scarcely be
appreciated In a country like our own,
where facilities exist for railway construc-
tion unknown ia the occupied territory. and
where skilled labor is abundant and mo-
chanical appliances have been brought to a
high state of perfection. That timber Is not
abundant in the region in question may be
gathered from the fact that the powers
friendly to Russia have applied to the Porte

Danube to build hospitals for the wounded

this the whole supplies Of the army must he

one hundred thousand men, but not for
more. When it is considered that in addi-

Thousands of At,idayits.

Many having used patent and prepared medicines and failed in finding the relief promised, are thereby preJudiced against all med icines. Is this right? Would yon condemn all physicians because one failed an giving the relief promised? Some go to California in search of gold, and after working hard for months and finding none, return home and say there is no gold shere. Does ttat prove it? Many suffer ing with Catarrh and pulmonary affections have used the worthless preparations that crowd the market, and in their disappointment say there is no cure for Catarrh. Does that prove it? Does it not rather prove that they have failed to em- ploy the proper remedy? There are thousands of people Ill the United States who can make an affidavit that Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- cry have effected tl cir entire cure. Many had lost all sense of smell for months, and pieces of bone had re- peatedly been removed from the nasal cavities.

THE EXTRA SESSION.

The time of the extra session of Congress has now been definitely settled upon, and the President has issued the following proclamation By tie President of the United
 States of America-A proclama-
 tion:
 Whereas, The final adjournment of the Forty fourth Congress, with out making the usual appropriations for the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30th, 1878, presents the extraordinary occasion requiring the President to exercise the authority vested in him by the institution, to convene the houses of Congress. in anticipation of the day fixed by law for their next meet ing;
 Now, therefore, l, Rutherford B. Hayes, President of the United States, do, by virtue of the power to this end in me vested by the Consti- tuition, convene both Houses of Con gress, to assemble at thelr respective chambers, at. I2 o'clock, noon, on Monday, the 18th day of October next, there and then to consider and determine such measures as in their wisdom, their duty and the welfare of the people may seem to demand.
 In witness whereof, l have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the Unit d States .o be aiiix- ed. Done at the City of Washing ton, this 9th day of May, in the year of our Lord 1877, and the indepeld- ence of the United States of Amer ica the one hundred and first.

the printing business can only be successfully conducted on the cash system, and unless the press of the state resolve unanimously to adhere strictly to that system, It can never prosper. One paper cannot do it by itself, it must be unanimous thing. with all the papers pledged to it's ob. scrvance. Another evil that should be looked into, is the cut-throat poli cy of underbidding each other for work. So extensively has this prac, tice been pursued, that advertising and job work have been put down So low that a newspaper could hardly live at it if it could get as much of both as it could do. The metropolI- tan press has been in the habit of sending out drummers for job work in towns where newspapers are print ed, and proposing to oo work cheap- CT than the country press can afford to do it, simply because of their su- perior facilities, and the large amount of work they get to do. This should be frowned down by the coun- try press and every instance expos ed as it deserves. The legal print ing question should also be consid- ered.-The price now allowed by law is not sufficient for the work done.-The law should be remodeled in many particulars, and the same compensation allowed for legal print ing as for any other class of printing. The bill proposed at the last session of the legislature and defeated, per haps met all the requirements, and the Convention should consider the best manner of getting it before the next legislature and securing it's passage. We. hope, therefore, to see a full attendance of the press at the Convention and a con. cert of action which is necessary fol the promotion of the interest of the newspaper business in our State.

Tine war cloud in the east still thickens and spreads, and the prob abilities of q general European war are enhanced almost daily. The Queen of England has issued her neutrality proclamation, but despite this, rumor has it that events are about to transpire which shall com pei Russia, if not other powers of Europe also, to declare war against England. It is now scarely possible to tell where the muss will end. So far as active war operations are concerned there has as yet been no decisive meeting between the hos tile forces, which has been calculat- ed to discourage either. kars Is completely surrounded, and the bon bardment Is to be commenced at once.

PALMER, ELLIS Co.,, TEXAS,


 EDITOR DEMOCRAT: Allow me to pen a few lines in your valuable paper Thls is the third Spring that I have spent in this county and this is the most backward, gloomy Spring that l have ever seen. We have had great deal of rain this Spring which was very disagreeable and checked the blows very much which was needed to be run very muh. The rain was a considerable draw back, but here comes another dread just about the time the farm CTS got ready to plant their corn here comes the little grasshoppers which seemed to rise out of the ground ny the million. They were just in time to clean up the gardens very nicely in thls section. They seemed to De very hungry from their first appearance; they seemed to want to eat almost everything that was green. When the corn began to come up here vas the little fellows just ready to receive it and you bet they did so. l see a great deal of corn bit down by them although some of it is coming out again. But they are dead shot on wheat, they have almost cleaned up several crops in this section; they have damaged some crops so badly that the tarm- CTS are blowing the wheat up and planting the ground in corn or cot. ton. They have also injured oats very much, but not so much us wheat. They seem to be particu- larly fond of wheat and corn.
 Some farmers have already been planting their corn over. The httle hoppers arc getting right smart wings and are supposed to leave when they get wings la"ge enough to fly, If they shou'd decide to stay with us all summer think crops will make q blast, But hoping by the time you hsar from me again they will he gone, will bring my lines to stop oil for the present,
 Hoping the DEMOCRAT a long, sue oosaiul life, l remain respectfully yourh, W, o. C, l..

v THE PRESS CONVENTION,

The following from the Southern Standard is timely, and contains thoughts upon a matter pertinent to every publisher Tn the State. We endorse what the Standard has to say:
 "The Press convention which meets in Fort Smith, on the 9th of June next, is one that should he gen orally attended by all the members of the Press Throughout the State. The newspaper business in Arkansas is at a very low ebb, and something should be done, if possible, to lift it out of the slough of diversity into which it has fallen. Albeit, the country press of Arkansas will com pare fayorably with that of any other state of the Union, there are but very few papers in the State that are making more than bare suhsis. tance, while some of them are being published at an actual loss to the publishers. There must be cause for this, and the members of the press should set thelr heads togeth. CT and see if they cannot discover what it is, aud try to apply the rem edy It is certainly not for the want of ability in conducting them on the part of the propFietors, for some of the most ably conducted papers are the most poorly patronized. It is not on account of the ignorance on the part of the people of the State, for We have as intelligent q popula tion as any of our sister States. It must be. then in the financial man ner of conducting the business. Our own experience Aas taught us that
