of an Irish baronet who had left tho British
army in disgust and sought quiet in farming
on the Hudson, permitted to live with him only
through brief honeymoon troubled by the rising
alarms of the Colonies parting from him as he went,
at Washington's command, to carry the war into the
enemy's country, watching with all the Colonies
his brief and successful campaign, which ended in
the fall of Montreal then struck by the fatal news
from Quebec, and living for more than generation
aferward n solitary life in the stately place on the
Hudson her soldier husband had left her what n
pitcous, blighted life it was! Forty-three years
after he fell she stood on the piazza of the old
home as steamer passed before her with flags

the thunder of the cannon from the neighborlng
hills. The State OF New-York was conveying the
body of the young husband, from whom she had
parted in the honeymoon, from Quebec where ho

he lies. These pamphlets deal only with the sol

Senior Iglcsias is resolved not to allow Gen.
Diaz undsputed possession of the Presidency.
He is now at New Orleans, but he only waits
for a single State "to pronounce" to return
and oppose the usurper. Gen. Diaz may deem
his authority too secure to heed this threat
but his position would be greatly strengthened
ny having his claims and those of his rivals
determined by an impartial tribunal. Atpres-
ent his power rests solely on the army and
the declarations of Over-zeal0us partlsans.
The Summer sojourners at Long Branch have

the promotion of the better interests of the newspaper business, and ren- dering better services to their con stitucncy. Arkansas has now about sixty three papers, a greater number in proportion to population, than any other State in the Union; and the majority of our State exchanges will compare favorably with the country exchanges from any state in the Union.
 The newspaper men of Arkansas are making hard effort to merit success, and we trust the masses oi the people may be constrained to ac- cord to them a degree of patronage, greater than they have heretofore re ceived, and nearer in accordance with what they merit in exchange for the services they render. An in creased constituency for a paper stimulates the energies of it's writers and making them realize the extent of their influence, leads them to SC wield the pen as to exert the power of the press in the proper direction.
 We trust the meeting at For. Smith may have salutary influence.

the widow of the late postmaster should nave had the position. Alone in the world, dependent upon her own exertions for 9 support, and with the ability to give sound bond and fill the office efficiently, the position ought to have been given her. But, Mr. Hayes thinks not and appoints Mir. Hadley. We take it that this is break for cover on the part of Mir. Hayes, s,-that he takes this as a step in his flight from the wrath to come, and that having discovered that he is to fai Tn his new departure he will turn back in his course and be a good croney again with the "stalwart re publicans."

-THE ENp-Most of our readers will remember the excitement of a few years ago, caused by the books of Baxter and others, on the fulfill ment of prophecy. Now comes Rev. Snow, of New York, and says:
 Babylon is on fire. In l84S the times of the Gentiles were ended ; the woman on the scarlet beast is now being worried by the ten horns of the animal she rides; the war in Europe means the working out of the prophecy, and before long the people of God will come forth from the dust and stand resplendent as the sun in the presence of the Al mighty"

DEATH OF ANOTHER PIO-
 NEER ARKANSIAN.

Last Fridays Gazette bears the sad tidings of the death of another of the honor ed pioneer citizens of Arkansas Col. B. F. Danley. The Gazette has the following memorial remarks upon his death:
 One by one the told citizens" of Arkansas are departing ito join the majority;;" soon none will remain. Yesterday, Col. B. F. Danley, after very short illness, died at the Cap ital Hotel. As few were aware that he had come down from his home at Palarm, for medical advice, and was ill in our midst, the announcement of his death was sudden shock to his numerous friends in our city.
 Col. Danley, since his earliest manhood, has been widely and well known from the prominent positions he has occupied in Arkansas. As High Sheriff of thls county, as a Legislator, and in other stations of honor and trust, he achieved an en- viable reputation. His election, re- gently, by the General Assembly, as member of the State Financial Board, attestcd the confidence of the people in his judgment, and the high value placed on his counsel and ad- vice in matters conceded to be the most difficult and delicate of all the affairs of our State.
 As public man, Col. Danley was devoted to the public good. Firm in purpose, cool and discriminating in judgment, none could challenge the purity of his intent or the integ rity of his act. At the call of his country he was ready to respond, as his services with the army in Mex ico, and for and with our people ln the late strife, fully attest. As neighbor and friend, he could at all times and under all circumstances be relied upon; and in business, and all the relations of life, he was with out fault.
 Col. Danley's death will be sin cerely regretted by our whole com munity. Of a numerous family, who have been prominent actors in the history of Arkansas, he is the last male member. His age was fifty-three. He leaves no children :; but widow, mourning Gas one who will not be comforted," and many kindred and friends remain to weep over his departure and cherish his memory.

After another twelve months of hard labor-of toll by day and by night-the newspa- per men of Arkansas again repair to council of deliberation and consul tation as to how they may the better serve thelr constituency and their State through the use of the Print ing Press. The rapidly growing in terest which the editorial and pub fishing fraternity of the State have evinced in the Annual meetings O.

 of their devotion to their profession and of their desire to act well tn, part assigned to them in the dram; of life. The attendance at the pres

What does General Sherman mean when he boldly says at pub lie meeting, that ''the United States cannot exist without the maintenance &f an army@ Are cannon, swords, cartridges and bayonets, the liga- lures that bind the States into a Union? Such a doctrine is directly antagonistic to an American view Of q constitutional and popular govern ment. Such doctrine is fatal and dangerous to free government. A General with such views, if permit ted to command at all, should have but a small force at his bidding.

THE STAR ABOVE THE MANaER.

One night, while lovly shepherd svains
Their fieecy charge atterded,
A light burst DER Judea's plains,
Unutterably splendid.
Far in the dusky orient,
star Unknown in story rtr
Arose to flood the armament
With moro than morning glory.
The clustering CONSULTATIONS. erst
30 gloriously cleaning,
Wsned when its sudden splendor burst
Upon their paler beAming.
And heaven drew nearer earth that night
Flung vide it's pearly portals
Sent forth from all its realms of light
Its radiant immortals.
They hoyered in the golden air,
Their golden censors swinging.
They woke the drowsy shepherds there
With their seraphic siDging.i svgs-.a
Yet earth on this her gala night
NJ jubilee was keeping;
She lay. unconscious of tho light,
In silent beauty sleeping
No more shall brightest cherubim
And stateliest srelian Rels,i
symphonious sing such choral hymn
Proclaim so sweet eyanRels.
No more appear that star ut eve,
Though gIinpses of its glory
Are seen by those who.s still believe
Tho shepherds simple story.
In faiths clear armament afar-
To unbelief stranger
Forever glows the golden star
That stood above the manger.
Age after age may roll away,
But on Times rapid river
Tho light of its celestial ray
Shall never cease to quiver.
Frail barges on the swelling tide
Are drifting with the sges;
The skies grow dark-arouDd each bark
bowling tempest RACES
Psle with alright, lost helmsmen steer,
While creating timbers shiver;
The breakers roar-grim Death is near
Oh who may now deliver!
Light-liEht from the heraIdic star
Breaks brightly o'er the bilov.
The storm. rebuked, has fsdsafar.
Thespilgrim seeks hls pillow.
Lost, lost indeed. his hesrt must be =
His way how dark with danger
Whose hooded eye may never see
