WE received a letter from fr,enf

WE received letter from friend w. F. Gray, at Plumer, yesterday, which reads as follows: "Ouf church was burned last night. We were in the midst of revival. Messrs. Lucas, Wilkes and Rock say they put the lights out carefully. No furtaer particulars His letter leaves room for US to draw the infer ence that it was the work of an in- cendiary, but we hope however it is not so. The church was hand some new building not long since completed, and was credit to a place of such small population. We wish they may be enabled by the assistance of neighbor towns to re- build, at an early day. If the firing was the work of an incendiary we hope he may be brought to speedy justice.--Lewisburg State.

Dr. Davies, the medical officer of the Wrexham Work house, states that he has substituted medical stimulants-eggs, beef tea, etc.-for alcoholic stimulants, in nearly every form of disease, with the most bene- ficial results, even in cases of cry sipelas, typhoid fever, inflammation of the lungs, delirium trcmens; etc., which have been hitherto considered impossible to treat successfully without the aid of alcohol. .....

A newspaper editor in the mining regions of Pennsylvania philosoph icaily observes: "When a man gets both legs smashed, rendering him unable to work for three months, there's nothing that cheers him up so much, and so etlectuaily keeps the wolf from the door, as for his fellow workman to pass a series of resolutions praying for his speedy recovery, and ordering an engrossed copy of the same to be presented to his family"

The best scholar in the class which was recently graduated at the Uni versiSy of Vermont was colored student, who was a slave twelve years rs'ago, and the place of honor on the commencement programme was given to young lady. This is the third New England College where the girls and colored lads have triumphed over the white youths this season. On the whole, is it worth while to send white boy to school?

One of the most beautiful charac- teristics of woman is the unswerv- ing confidence she places in her husband. But we have observed that when a married man goes hone with light deposit of pearl powder on his left shoulder it is merely prudence to observe that he had stopped on the way up to play a game of checkers Tn the flour store on the corner.

We are opposed to the disintegra- tion of the Democratic party of our State or nation or going of on side issues or national questions that can be carried out as we'll and with more certainty through the Democratic party, than through new departures when victory is nigh at hand. We favor the pressing forward in solid columns, until the great enemy and party of hate, the radical minions, shall be driven from the last ditch. Then we will be ready to settle ques- tions of lesser importance.-Inde- pendent Arkansian.
 Our sentiments exactly. We may differ on the finances, on the tariff, on internal improvements, etc, but we must put one broad solid front to the enemy. A dozen men will have as many different views on all these subjects and no two agreeing on any one. Until the Democratic party have put down such gigantic frauds as put Rutherford B. Hayes in the Presidential chair, there is no time for divisions on minor points in the party. There is too much dema- goguery cropping out in Arkansas, which if persisted in, will end in the defeat of the democratic and the resurrection of the old radical party of plunder and hate, under new name and led by ambitious dema- gogues from the other ranks. Look we'll to whither you are drifting, brother Democrats. Buren Press.
 Correct, both of you, gentlemen. Your doctrine has the ring of the true metal. We are sorry every democrat in the land does not see the matter just as you do. It is cer- tainly very foolish to be wrangling about what democrats should do with minor issues before we are in a position to do anything with them either one way or the other

-THE friends of repudiatlon are loud Tn their claim that the majority of the people are in favor of their pet hobby. Three representative bodies of the people have met in the last three years, the constitutional convention, and two legislatures. In all these bodies repudiation has been advocated strongly, but in every case it has been voted down by a handsome majority. In the face of this fact it looks a little cheeky for the friends of the measure to so loudly claim for it a popular major ity. The repudiationists have no evidence that their doctrine has the strength they claim for it.-Benton- vile Advance.
 So far as repudiation in it's dis reputable sense is concerned, that is, so far as repudiating any of our JUST indebtedness is concerned, "the friends of repudiation" do not claim that the majority of the people are in favor of it: no one wants any such thing. But we will wager you a gill of buttermilK that if you leave it to the people to say whether we shall pay the fraudulent claims agaiast us, they will say mary red. " Why do the scalers who pretend to be the friends to the holders of these fraudulent claims rather than the friends to our own people. fear to let the people get whack at this question? Why do they always stave it off when it is proposed to leave it to the people? and why do they try to patch it up among a little ring who compose the "syndi- cate" to get these fraudulent claims paid?
