AN ARK ANSAW EDITOR AS
 4 PUBLIC LECTURER.

F. Donan, editor of the BeDtouyille Advance, recently lectured at Fort Smith. The "Independert," of that place, has this to say of his lecture:
 lf lovely women were ever worse or better abused than when Coi. Donan went for them in his lecture at Adelaide Hall at theIr own request, we have laii,d to hear of 1t. Judg- ing from the sweep of his lecture we are only surprised that his text was not "the flesh, the world and the devil, for after touching lightly on the flesh and darkening the air for q few moments with showers Of pearls, he yanked himself into an imaginary train of cars starting Tn St. Louis, and like Pack iu Midsummer Nights Dream, he put belt around the earth Tn forty minutes, and then hasJened as fast as he could lo the devil' in calico, which he certainty made out lovely woman to he, for alter demi i-quavering around uti lTOlu lHt tHi NS1iiS SitLt UD through all her transmutations to the full hedged butterfly or woman of fashion, he then drew his light ming cimeter and sailed in on her like a swarm of hornets. There was not long or short coming Of which they were guilty that he did not twit them. except snutitlipping, and with a malignity only to be accounted for by the supposition that he had been fearfully flummixed in his young days by some brigbt.eyed nymph, he proceeded to dssect them from the top of their sky -scrapers !" the very heels of their boots. He piled their clothing, switches, curls, glass eyes, artiiiclal teeth, pads and projections around him as high as the table, tore the suhstrata in fragments that the red ants could carry out through the key holes, then jumped in on the the fragments and stamped them into fine dust; and for fear that the audience would rise in body for his scalp, he took it all back and assured them that they were sweeter than piLks and that he would stuck closer to them than Spanldiug's glue. Now, what can be done with such q man? How soon are we to have that insane asylum? We pause for a reply

Hon. q. ID. Walker.

Searcy Beacon: In our issue the last we hoisted the 1ame ot Hon. J. D, Walker, at our mast head and pledged ourself to support him through the columns of the Beacon for the importai [ position of U. $. Senatator, and while we have nothing to say against the political record or pnvate character of his worthy oppo
 nents, because we recognize ln them the true elements of patriotism and statesmanshil,. but at the same time we do not regret the choice we have made. but to the contrary, the more the subject matter of the Senator
 ship is discussed through the press and otherwise, the more thionghly we are convinced or thewisdomolour choice. Our preference is Dot based upon any personal consultation: but upon a higher ground. --that of the best man for the position. In Mir. Walker we find all the elements in the make up ota first class Senator. He IS now about in the meredan of life yith an indomitahle energy and perseverance with massive braia and a cultivated intellect. As law yer he has but lew equals, a reputa tion earned by honest toii and indus
 try and his tid0l-y and patriotism to the State and Nation. no oLe can question. He is just the man to re.

Attempting too Much.

l.. R. Democrat: One of the worst features oi our Southern farm
 ing, as Judge Williams rema. ked in hls address at the fair grounds yes ter,laS, is the laying out of more work than we can accomplish. lt IS our iesctting sin. We try to culti- vate fifty acres when we have the ability to cultivate only twenty. We ind ourselves in debt and resolve L, get out by d large crop. We go to work on large scale without mak ing necessary allowances for baei weather, uncertainty in labor and q score of other contingencies aga'ns, which the wise farmer must always calculate. How often at the close ol the year does the farmer sec how he could have made a good crol from twenty or thi.ty acres when hy reason of attempting to work eighty or hundred he has made a sad failure. The same faull is seen in our stock raising. We have too much stock oI poor charac ter which we could ", II afford to die pense with. It takes little more grain to feed. improved stock while d few head are worth whole drove' of th "scruh" variety. When we learn to work only so much land as we can work well and raise oie-hall the stock we now raise first rate qual ity we shall have made u very grea advance in farming But as Judge Williams said it is qaite an easy mat ter to convince people of the trutl of these things; but to induce then to act IS quite another and mael more difficult undertaking.

WHO IS RIGHT ABOUT TT?

Last week. in noticing the fawning dattery bestowed npon the Arkansaw Traveller, by the Gazette. on the oc casion of the former paper coming out for Mr. Johnson, we asserted that the Traveller had been bitter op- ponent to Col. Johnson's election and Il loud mouthed denouncer of the Gazette on account oi it's support of Col. J.
 The Gazette flew into rage when it saw what we said, and, in addition to s..ying some very hard things about us, denied that the Traveller had ever been q denouncer of that paper. Now, either the Gazette or the DEMOCRAT (this paper has had memory. As good and competent

WRONG AGAIN.

A few weeks ago we gave list in response to the assertion of our learned contemporary, the L. k. Ga zette, that there are more newspa- pers in Arkansas supporting Col. Johnson than either of the other candidates, showing that Walker had twelve papers in his support to seveu for Johnson. The Gazette challenged the correctness of our list, and among other papers denied that the Harrison Times was for Walker; whereupon the Times speaks out for herself in these em phatic lines:
 As there seems to be a spirit of nn- easiness lowering over the heads oI the ruling spirits ofthe Little Rock Gazette in regard to the status of the State ill the pending Senatorial contest, and not wishing our position to he misunderstood on any import ant issue before the P, ople, we this day hoist to the head of our columns the name of Hon. J. D. Walker, of Washington coun. v, as our choice for that position. In so doing, we know that we express the wishes of the entire northwest in the matter, as the honorable gentleman is their undoubted choice.
