Curiosities of the Bible.

A man who was condemned to solitary confinement for life in a prison relieved the tediousncss of the years by ascertaining the fol lowing facts: The bible contains 3,6S6, 4s9 letters, 793,692 words, 31,- 173 verses, 1,1S9 chapters and 66 books. The word "and' occurs 45,- 2SS times; the word Lord" occurs l,S55 times. The word reverend" occurs but once, which is in the 9th verse of the 111th Psalm. The mid de verse is the Sth verse of the I1Sth Psalm. The 21st verse of the 7th chapter of Ezra contains all the letters of the alphabet except the letter J. The finest chapter to read is the 26th chapter of the Acts of the Apostles. The 18th chapter of II. Kings and the 37th chapter of Isaiah are alike. The longest verse is the 9th verse of the 8th chapter of Esther. The shortest verse is the 35th verse of the 1lth chapter of St. John. The Sth, 10th and 2lst verses of the 107th Psalm are alike. All the verses of the 136th Psalm end alike. There are no words or names of over six syllables.

some Day.
BY II. PLEAsANTs M'DAMIEL.

These weary hands will be at rest, Weekly folded on this breast, All this busy brain be still, Calm for'er this restless will,
 Some day. This aching heart will lowly lie; These burning tears will all be dry; mi, trammeled soul will mount and fly To meet her love high up on high,
 Some day. These feet will walk the golden streets, These lips sip Heavens sweetest sweets, These eyes behold Gods center light, And burn and blaze in soul delight,
 Some day. It matters not, then, where you lay This little, wasted frame of clay The soul that gave it light and love Will rest in Jesus, far above,
 Some day. Twill sing and praise. love and adore, Jesus, the Savior, evermore, And watch and wait at the beautiful gate"
 For friends who come soon or late,
 Some day.

By a Large Majority.

From the Pine Biufi Press.l
 The Gazette endeavors to impress it's readers with the idea that the pa pers in the State have ceased their opposition to the Adams Redfield proposition. The Gazette is greatly mistaken. These papers oppose the plan as much as ever, and upon sev- eral grounds: It sets aside the de cision of the Supreme Court; 1t funds the debt and forces the outra geous expedient of paying compound interest; it makes no provision for those of the bondholders who do not choose to go into the plan. In fact the A. & R. plan is altogether i'm proper, and if we understand any thing, we know that the people in this section oppose it. If no other feature of the plan was objectionable, that part of it which funds the debt and obligcs the people to pay com pound interest is sufficient to cause talk payers to spurn it. Then, again, tax payers, remember, that when vou accept this plan you mortgage everything in the world that you possess to bondholaers to pay inter est and principal. When the Adams Redield plan is adopted you destroy the Ssates sovereignty by levying an lRREPEALARLE tax. One in the power of the bloated bondholders; once let them fasten their grip on you and yonr plea of short crops, scarcity of money, dearth of busi ness, want, need, lack, indigence, poverty, penury, starvation and fam inc will avail you nothing. Even war will not release you from the bnrthon you place upon yourselves Are YOU willing to crush out the great right given by Article XI of the Constitution of the United States, which forbids the State from being sued? We do not believe you are ready to be made slaves of.
 People of Arkansas Ponder we'll. We are as anxious as any one that our just debts shall be paid. We scorn the idea of repudiation. 1.-the State was able to pay every dollar of its just indebtedness to-day, we should assnredly favor the liquida- ton of the same; but we are indi- gent, we cannot do it. The just bonds are drawing 1 and 6 per cent. interest annually, and why not the necessity of new bonds? The Ad- ans Redfeld plan explains. It would have you fund-interest and principal-and compel you to pay interest on both. Yes, compel you, for as certain as the stars shine you will be compelled to pay whether your condition enables you or not,
 No, we have not ceased our oppo- sition to the Adams Redfield plan. We don't believe in any particular plan except the plan as offered long since by Gen. Churchill, His plan was and is not to spring the question at present. We are not asked to pay dollar-interest or principal we cannot be sued, and why the necessity of voluntarily enslaving ourselyer to gratify the whims and capriees of boHdholders in the north and their allies in Arkansas.
 Away with the Adams Rcdfield plan! It stinks in the nostrlls of the taxpayers of South East Arkan- sas! The people of the state by . large majority are opposed to 1t!

IAN OBSERVER. SPEAKS.
November 5th, 1877.

AtcNOhAoSh coh, Aos's To THE EDITOR OF THE DEMOCRAT:
 It was pleasure and a surprise to me to attend your county fair; Tn my business in the last five years l have attended several fairs both State and county, and as I under stand that the Pope Co. fair was a voluntary affair on the part of the citizens, must say that it excclled many county fairs that have been in stituted for years. Good order pre- vailed throughout the day; every body seemed anxious to see what everybody else had, and being an observer l could hear the remarks :: "If we have fair next year 1 can beat this or 1 can beat that--I will show better stock next year" So to the citizens of Pope Co. I would say let this be a stimulus to you to or ganize fair association and be ready for the next year. Properly conducted it will be source of reve- nue for every stockholder, and will be pleasure and benefit to every citizen of the county.
 I will notice few of the articles :: the first thing that greeted our eyes as we entered the grounds was Hughes Riding Flow, known all over the United States and appre- ciated by every farmer that has ever saw them in operation, also one of those fine harrows; then the au- tomatic wagon jack, a late invention, but one which is fast finding it's way into every farmers wagon. Then the tongue-springs, which every man that values his team will have {; they were adjusted to the wagon manufactured by Luker Bros. 1 be- lieye that's the name; the wagon is a credit to the workmen and to your little city, and it is folly for your farmers to send north for wagons when they can better themselves at home. Back of the wagon stood q bake oven and fruit uryer; was sur prised to find it in this State, have seen it in operation, baking, drying and cooking, and know thas it can not be beat. By the side of this was the Texas Ranger; they only need to be tried to be appreciated. The stock exhibited was very good. Within doors was an array of quilts, needle work, card work, wax flowers, canned fruit, preserves, pickles, corn, wheat, sweet potatoes, turnlps, in deed everything that was good to eat, and beautiful to look at was there. I believe you can boast of as many pretty ladies as any town of twice your size in the State. There was one quilt there that would have graced the walks of the Cen tennial buildings; everybody admir- cd it.
 AS I am getting tedious l will close. Hoping that the future of your city may be us brilliant sue cess as was your fair, and if you form an association and get in the energy that was displayed Friday and Saturday, will dot myself down for several shares, for I expect to call this way again, and know it to be good investment. Send me DEMOCRAT for one year, and to the farmers I would say improve your stock, your orchards, your farms, for you have the best country and eli mate in the United States as far as I know. Goodnight and success.

Killed by Lightning.

During the recent severe thunder
storm which passed over this section a
young lady named Carpenter, daugh-
ter of David Carpenter, of Holley, was
struck by lightning and instantly killed.
Miss Carpenter, in company with an
other young lady, her sister-in-law, was
walking along the road some distance
west Of the village when the storm came
up. The ladies were drawing a baby
carriage, each Of them having a hand
upon the handle Of the carriage. They
were hurrying forward as fast as posi-
BILE to reach the nearest farmhouse to
escape the rain, when bolt of lightning
fell upon the group and instantly killed
Miss Carpenter. The fluid struck her
upon the side of the face, and, passing
downward, cut her clothing entirely
from her body and tore the shoes and
stockings upon her feet to shreds. Her
companion was stunned, but received
no serious injury. The bsby was
thrown from the carriage and flung sew
eral feet into the center of the road with
out receiving even scratch. The body
OF the unfortunate lady was taken to a
farmhouse near by, She was about 10
years of age.-Rochester Democrat and

Russians and Germans,

The explanation which the Spectator
gives of the hardness of the Russian
army is a very shrewd one. It says that
the staff has got the campaign of 1870 on
the brain !; 1t wants to move hosts equal
to the German ones with the same pre-
eision, the same unfailing success, and
the same earthquaky results it aims to
do everything on a gigantic scale, and to
move men by the hundred thousand
across broad river, but finds that the
task involves difficulties only to be met
by grievous expenditure Of time. The
Russian forces fight well, maneuver
we'll, and are well directed /; but there is
a want of ago" about them, a dispo-
sition to have everything prepared as if
an army were watch, q tendency to wait
for overwhelming masses of artillery,
which reveals q certain want of self
confidence not to be anticipated in q
conquering people. These structures are
made by the great Liberal weekly which
has criticized the policy of the Brit
ish Government most numerically, es-
poused the cause of Russia. and hailed
the war as the most just and necessary of
modern times. British Generals, how
ever, have been charged with making
war with watch in hand.

A Big Find.

A. O. Bell, a miner near Auburn,
Placer county, CAL, has 'struck it rich p
after patient probation of poverty. He
sold his horse for $40 and pawned his
wife's wedding-ring SO as to keep his
family in bread during his last desperate
attempt to find a successful lead. His
fortunate star did not desert him, for he
struck, entirely by accident, vein of
decomposed quartz, sparkling with par
ticles of gold, and pounded out with a
pestle and mortar enough to pay ex-
penses. At thirty feet depth he mad
taken out 81, 500 worth of gold, and then
the lead became so rich that he could
wash the earth and rock in pan and
earn from 81, 900 to 81 800 in pan. In
three days he had taken out $35, 900
worth, the last three pans yielding $1O,-
600, and, being man Of moderate and
rational tastes and ideas, was about to
sell out for $4,000. His neighbors, who
had previously called him ''Pike Bell
now call him &c Mister."
