EDITOR STAR:-As SO many have
requested me to write to them about
Arkansas, l concluded to send you
letter that will serve the wants of
all, if you, will be kind enough to
give it place in your columns.
First, as to how l like the coun-

stay, that it more than meets my
expectations. Ilcft Baldwin, April

Saturday, the 2lst;, and found all
nature in full bloom, the flowers and
song of birds striving for the mas
terry in magni6cence. Walked out
in the afternoon and saw the re-
mains of the Notifications erected,
l think, by Col. Steele, for the de-
fense Of the city in the late war;
also saw a Northern man, by the
name Of Evret, who has splendid
fruit farm. Spent pleasant night
with him, returning to the city on
the Sabbath; and on Monday morn
ing, took the Ft. Smith R'y, to
Russelvills. Here VIC took a look
over the finest country that we had
over seen, lying around Russellville,
and Dardanell0, which is on tho Ar
kansas River, and 4 ] miles frsm the
former place, in southcrly difec-
ton. Finding nethiHg to suit, in
the way Of business, after two or
three days, We took rail for Ozark,
which is the seat of Franklin cOun-
ty, and near which We are located,
for the Summer at least. 4a,a
There is wrong impression on
the minds of many of the people in

ings Of the people in the South.
Now as far as have seen, politics
run low and smooth. They all unite
in inviting emigration from the
North. As for the morals of the
people, they are good. AS to the
colorcd people, tllcir moral status
is of as high standard as can be
expected. considering the condition
from which they have so lately

The most interesting thing that
has happened fer many years, is the
drop in sewing machines. The bust
ness has been controlled for years
by a ring organized by two or three
Of the largest companies, who in the
early years of the business succeed
ell in getting control of tho points
without which no machine can be
made. These companies compelled
all the others to pay royalties, and
really kept great many out of the
field by refusing to license them at
all. Last Tuesday all these patents
expired, and now the trade I'm sew

bered. That tie burden imposed

An election for two members of the

vacancies occurring BY the expiration OF
the terms Of Messrs. Fisher and Thistle

school house on Saturday next. Among
all the gentlemen mentioned in connec-

present incumbents would prove
more acceptable to large portion OF the
people OF the city than any others.
Both gentlemen take deep interest in
educational matters, and are perhaps as
well versed in the affairs OF our public
schools as any other two men IN the
city. We believe it would be 10 the in
terests OF the schools to re-elect them.

The Cairo Public Schools

"A correspondent OF the Cincinnati
Commercial, writing from Cairo under
date of April 3D., says Of the examina-
ton OF our public schools:
1.-THE examination OF the Cairo public
schools closed last Friday, having cor
tinued during the entire week, and the
scholars and teachers are now ENJOYING
q weeks vacation. The condition of the
schools Ia very much better than ever
before since they were first organized.
They are conducted by Prot. Alvord,
who is assisted by thirteen white and
five colOred teachers. The c6lored
schools are In q building by themselves,
| and the white schools occupy two brick
buildings of five rooms each, and one
fiame buildinapf one room.
The schools have been in existence so
long now that there are no longer any
very large scholars in attendance, which
makes the management, perhaps, easier
But certain 1t is that perfect order and
strict discipline exist in all departments
| and those institutions, which only few
years ago were laughing stock and a
| reproach, are now source Of Just pride
OF our citizens.
The late examination was very salts
'aNtOit anu cuONCu tldt tlOsc anu Ddlu
work had been performed by all the
scholars. Many of the teachers stand at
the head OF their profession, and their
works show it. In addition to the
branches usually taught in common
schools, telegraphy and Bsnn Pittman' g
photography are taught to classes outside
sch COL hours, and, as a recreation, at
| times between lessons. Both these
branches are picked up rapidly by the
| children, and some of them develop
great power in their mastery. The
other day a gentleman was called to adj
dress the school, and at the close of his
! speech. was surprised to find that his
words had been written down by several
of the children, in shorthand. who re-
produced them correctly at his request.
There are one thousand scholars in at
tendance. and the average attendance
and standing OF the pupils are
excellent. | send this much
concerning our schools, which are equal
now to any IN the State, because 1 know
there are people living at a distance who
will be glad to know that Cairo has
something whereof she may we'll be
proud. although they may receive these
statements with many doubts and mis-
| givings as to their actual truth. au
