 I find that Pope county had in 1870 total population of 8,396--the males of all ages being 4,249, the fe- males 4,137. Between the interest ing ages of five and eighteen the males were 1,437 and the females l, ,401. What the latter lack in num- bers is surely compensated for in those personal charms and mental requirements which they possess in degree quite striking to any man of appreciative mind. The total population of Pope county in 1860 was 7,883; in 1870 it was S,3S6- showing an increase of S.91 per cent. A like ratio of increase for the present decade would give the coun- ty population of 9,133 in 1880. A far greater ratio of increase than this, of course, to be expected, fol the increase from 1860 to 1870, as every one knows, was in spite of the most adverse circumstances. Con sidering the situation of the county and what the people had to contend against, it is strange that there was any increase at all. With peace pre- vail.ng throughout the county, ad- mirable education facilities, railroad connection with Little Rock and a sprightly, wide-awake newspaper like the DEMOCRAT to spread before an inquiring public the many advan- tages this county offers to the immi- grant, cannot doubt that the popu lation of Pope county in 1880 will be double what it was Tn 1870.
 When another statistical fit strikes me I may endeavor to estimate how many people are in future time tc bless the honorable Chairman of the Sanitary Committee of the Board of Aldermen of the city of Russell vile for the exquisite taste he has displayed in the improvements around that public institution which supplies in unlimited quantity, and to thirsty citizen or way worn tray eler alike, that beverage pure which God Himself has given to nourish and invigorate His creation and beautify His footstool.

FARMERS BOYS.

There is sound sense and solid truth in the few lines following:
 Many farmers boy goes into some city, and struggles along until middle life, with nothing to show for his labors, except that he has thoroughly learned that half s.arv- ed lawyer is less to be envied than a well fed farmer.---Southern Farmer.
 You are mistaken, he learns more than that, the farmer boy who leaves a happy, pleasant home in the coun- try very frequently he learns to drink, gamble and debauch, Hhile he

Hepatitis or Liver Complaint, DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
TOR THE cURn or

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. MAIN in the right side, under the
 edge of the ribs, increases or pres- sure; sometimes the pain is inthe left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-b blade, and 1t frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mis- taken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alter native with lax; the head IS troubled with pain, accompanied with dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally considerable loss ofmemory accompanied with 2 pain full sensation of having lef undone something which oughs so have been done. A slight, dry ccdgh is some times an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is : satisfied that exercise would be bene- fcial to him, yet he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every rem edy. Several of the above symp- toms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them ex- isted, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the LIVER to have been extensively deranged.
 AGUE AND FEVER.

THE WAR.

The Eastern War cauldron still continues to boil. Desultory fight ing along the Turkish line of defense is of frequent occurrence. The Rus sian forces have not yet crossed the Danube, but June 10th, a Bucharest dispatch says, is the date fixed upon for the crossing. The softa demon stration in favor of Midhat Pacha, which assumed such alarming pro portions at one time that the Sultan fled to the Asiatic side of the Bos phorus, has been quelled by judi cious display of force. The trouble however remains, and is liable to recur at any time, and even now the disorderly and discontented Moslem element is in such state of fury and fermentation against the Bulga- rians and foreigners generally, that the Christians are in alright least some imprudence on the part of in considerable members of their faith may provoke spark which would quickly light into fearful massacre.
 Advices of semi official charac- ter state that Russia, Germany and Austria have arrived at an under standing and that the locallzation of the war is determined upon. The Roumanian Army will not cross the Danube. None of the great Powers have raised objections to Roumanias doolarotiar nf indenendpnce

TO OWNERS OF LAND.


 umns from time to time, there are many new corners looking to our county for homes. The forerunners of these new home seekers arrive by rail almost daily, and it is quite like ly that just as soon as crops are laid by, the leisure time intervening be- fore gathering time will be taken ad- vantage of by great nttmbers to visit our county and see the prospect be- fore moving here. All these pros pecting parties want information ir regard to any lands which are for sale, and they want definite informa- tion. They want to know exactly where it lies so that they can go di- rectlv to 1t and see it. Now, there is an apparent difficulty which IS met just here by almost all these pros pecting parties. They are told: 'Oh yes, there are plenty of lands for sale," but no one can tell them ex- actly where they are, and so they do not know where to go to look at a piece of land which is for sale, with out starting out at random. The difficulty we thought would be meas urably overcome by the formation of the County Immigration Society and it's Township auxiliaries, one of the duties imposed upon the township vice presidents being the collection and tabulation of reliable informa- tion in regard to all tracts of land, improved and unimproved, in the different townships, which the own CTS offer for sale. The intention was to have these reports forwarded and filed in the office of the County Sec retary at this place, so that any and all new corners as soon as they get off the cars here could be taken to his office and afforded every conven- fence in obtaining information rela- ting to the lands of Pope county But as thls work seems to lag and we see no effort on the part of the of ficers of the County Society to push it, the difficulty remains, and must be bridged over some other way, at least, until the officers of our Immi- grafton Society can be aroused to the importance of working the mat ter up.
 To meet the difficulty, and render it at least some easier for those pros pecting parties to ascertain where they can find lands that are for sale we have suggestion to make to land owners. It is this: Let every land owner in Pope county who has lands which he desires to sell, send us list Of said lands, giving the To- cation, the numbers, the price asked, the terms of payment, the quality oi the soil, the distance from Russell vile, the distance from school house or church, and any other items concerning the land which would be likely to make it desirable. Send along your lists of both improved and unimproved lands. We will number and endorse each list ano keep it on file for the information O all parties who are seeking lands il our county. We see most of the par ties who come here, and we will tak' all pains to show them the discrip tive lists which land owners ma, send.

Now reply to the question I shall
put to you. How came you into the
services OF the Grand Army?"
Henry's eyes rolled wildly. He
cast an anxious glance around the
room, as if in search of a weapon.
Beaucaire continued:
did you not hear my question?
How came you in the army?"
Henry took n chair that stood near
by, moved it forward in front of
Beaucaire, and sitting down, without
further ceremony began whistling a
tune.
Beaucaire grew pale with passion.
Sergeant he exclaimed, after
some moments, lead the prisoner
back to his confinement
In obedience to the command, the
sergeant stepped up to Henry, and
marched him out CT the room. The
sergeant conducted him not to the
cell where death was certain during
the night, but to the guards room
where, to his great joy he found
Frederick. Room was made on the
benches for their repose; but entire
silence was enjoyed, under pain of
being thrust into the former prison.
Thus passed the night.
After Henry had been taken away
st. Lucas and Beaucaire were left
alone.
"A curse on these obstinate Ger
mansw exclaimed st. Lucas. 81 do
not see what We can accomplish,
both OF them are silent and will not
answer the questions demanded"
Nevertheless" replied the cold
hearted Beaucaire; lone OF them ac-
knowledged this portrait to have
been drawn by his hand. This cir
cumstance alone impresses me with
strange conviction that both OF
them have been in secret connection
with Dolgorof. Who allowed this
Dolgorof to escape over the boun-
dairy? Was it not this fellow. in con-
junction with his accomplice? This
will be sufficient for convincing
report.

one OF them"
@Come. there is no delay" cried the
sergeant
Frederick stepped boldly forward,
and resolutely passed through the
room to the presence OF his judges,
and Henry remained alone. The ex-
animation lasted for a quarter OF an
hour, when the sergeant appeared
to summon him also.
With bold face he walked into the
room. At long table sat st. Lucas
and Beaucaire; the latter occupied
in writing.
I'VE ought to know each other"
said st. Lucas, looking sharply at
Henry.
"Tis possible, but know not how
I came to have that honor" replied
Henry in contemptuous tone.
"Indeedi Perhaps this counte-
nance also is not quite unknown to
you," said Beaucaire, raising an OBJ
ject lying before him. 1t was Lodo-
iska's portrait found In Frederick's
pocket.

answered. 81 think remember that

was probably at the theatre in Lon
don."
These words fell like a bright
flash upon Henry's heart. He looked
sharply at Beaucaire, and suddenly
the darkness Of his memory was dis
PEELED. he had seen this same man
sitting in the box with Lodoiska. He
was the same who failed to meet him
at the Park. Forgetting the relation
In which he now stood before Beau
caire, he hurriedlv exclaimed: "Who
is this lady? You ought to know, sir,
for you were In her company"
Beaucaire smiled like a deamon;
and instead Of answering said:
