 ASTRONOMICAL. If your readers were not so sleepy in the morning they would see that Mars has commenced the race af- ter Saturn. and anticipate he will over- take him on the morning of July 27th, but that sight will be small compared with what we shall see in the November evenings.

 but, if the words are alike, the things are
 not. The same is true of accordingly,
 for accidentally" and others.I said our
 tor7sadoes (not tomatoes) were getting too frequent for pleasant consemplation Since then another town has been blown away and a number of lives lost, at summer resort in Pensaukee, Wis.

 with the bedding, in the Camanche torn ado, IT years ago, and carried across the Mississippi river and landed in a clump of willows, and not. found till the next day, when 1t was discovered still lying on its bed, unharmed while, it's father and mother were both killed. Three men were taken off raft in the river, at the same time and it was supposed by their mates that they were all drowned, till they appeared to their brother raftsman again down somewhere near St. Louis. whither they had been forwarded by rail. They, too, had been carried clear across the riv- CT, and landed on the other side.
 The weather is fine and crops are still looking splendid. New potatoes are 50 cents bushel, haven't learned whether that four dollar man got rid of all hls in time or not.
 The 4th passed off quietly without acci- dent. The mayor issued an edict against fireworks, and the ''pent up Utioas" had to content themselves with base ball and other less noisy demonstrations. I mo- ticed that the same was trne in most of the cities of the West There were three or four steamboat excursions, and Base Ball Tournament with $200 prize money, all we'll patronized. There are seven or eight uniformed clubs in Lyons, of all ages, and don't know how many in Clin- ton.
 The Black Killers continue to come in on their return trips. singly snd in squads poor in pocket but rich in experience.

ers' and even the general govern Iment has been called upon, and. has given it's entire support to the sup pression of the revolution, ,--for by this name it ought to be called. We see some of our exchanges are of the opinion that the "Strke'' ought to be put down without any guarantee that these laborers shall have bread when the strike is over. We are of a different opinion, and for one are willing to state thatinstead of butch ering the laboring class, the govern ment ought to see that these soul less, bloated and pimped corpora tions which have well nigh sapped the foundations of the government, shall guarantee to these laborers a reasonable compensation for their labor. It cannot be denied that a majority of the legislation, both Ma rtional and State, has 5een in the in- terest of bond holders and money corporations and against the laborer and the poor.
 The government-and the militia of the different states may be. able to put down this revolution, or cry of
 +Ha- the laborer, Give me q reasonable compensation for my labor" But if the time has not already come, come it must in the near future, when the laborer will demand and receive his rights from the government. And just as sure as coming events cast their shadows before, then just that sure will the war between labor and the moneyed aristocracy come, and when it does come, may God protect the country!

SINGLE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.

It has been @ question with some of the Directors of the single school district of Russellyille, whether the school tax for single school districts should be levied as formerly, by the Board of Directors, or whether the matter should now be attended to by the electors of the School District when assembled in annual School meeting on the 3d Saturday in Au gust, as required by the law passed December T. 1875. To satisfy our self on tliis'point we addressed let ter to the States Attorney General asking his opinion. zS For the information of the direct ors, and also for the ediiication of all the electors of the district, all of whom are interested, we give the Attorney Generals opinion:
 OFFICE OF ATTORNEY GENERAL,
 STATE OF ARKANSAS,
 LITTLE ROCK, ARK, July l3, let" HoN. JAMES E. BATPENFIELp,
 Russellville, Ark. DEAR SIR:-ln reply to your favor of the 10th instant, will say:
 That that the act of Dec. ', 1875 is in force for all purposes, except, as to the organization for single school districts in cities and towns. For the purpose of raising revenue for the support of these schools, the tax must be levied at the time and in the manner provided by the Act of 1875.
 The electors of the district must vote the tax, or none can be legally levied for district purposes. School directors of cities and towns will be elected on the Third Saturday in De cember as provided by the old law as that is part of the organization of the School district.
 Very Respectfully,
 w. r. HENDERSON,
 Attorney General.
