was yesterday in the House OF Dele
gates and heard the speech OF the Hon.
Thomas S. Bocock on the pending bill for
the settlement OF the State debt. This
speech was one of rare tact, talent, courage.
and character. How is it that the State has
been so long without the services OF this
able man? In the rush OF events since the
war we had almost lost sight OF him, but
in crisis involving the credit and charac-
ter OF the State he returns to her service
with words OF sympathy for the people in
their poverty and sorrow, and OF encourage
ment and hope for their greater prosperity
in the near future, and with argument and
eloquence pleads for the preservation OF
our good name as OF more value than great
riches.
In these days of perplexity and trial. re-
curing experience, good sense, and char
acter for projecting and directing the in
terests of the State and country, it is graft
flying to see Mr.. Bocock, as others who .
might be mentioned, again in the public
service. CITIZEN.

FOURl EDITION
THE TENEBRAE.

WHAT 1T IS AND HOW 1T WAS cHANTED
IN ST. PETERS CHURCH LAST pvENING
--MAUNDY THURSDAY.
As mentioned in yesterdays GAZETTE
the Tenebrde was chanted in st. Peters
Church, last evening, to an immense con-
gregation, and will be continued this and
tomorrow evening. The Tenebrde Is one
of the most solemn offices of the Church
and is symbolic of the desolation in which
the world is supposed to have been dur
ing the closing hours of the Saviour's pas
sion and life, and the darkness of the
world while He, its light, lay in the tomb.
The services consist of mathis and lauds,
and during the office large candelabrum
is placed near the altar. It bears fifteen
tapers, disposed in the form of a triangle,
and represents Christ and the prophets
who had announced the coming AS the
psalms are sang the tapers are extinguish-
Ell until the topmost remains. This, as it
represents Christ, is taken down and car
ried behind the altar during the singing
of the "Miserere," after which 1t is put
back in its place to signify the temporary
extinction of the light ofChrist between
his death and resurrection.
To-day being Maundy Thursday, So
called from an ancient custom of giving
presents and aims to the poor, is observed
by the taking up of liberal collections in
the churches for the poor.
1t is customary with the Pope and his
Cardinals and Bishops on this day to imi-
tate the Saviour in the washing of feet of
the poor. The holy oils are also blessed
and consecrated ON this day. There are
three varieties of oil, one used in baptism,
the ordination OF priests, the conservation
of altars, churches, and formerly in the
of Kings. The second is used
in extreme JUNCTION, and the third is the
sacred chism, an oil composed of balm of
Gilead or of the West Indies, and is used
IN confirmation, in the consecration of
Bishops, of patens and chalices, and in
the blessing of bells. This service is per-
formed by the Bishops respectively for
their dioceses. In the churches tempor-
airy altars are erected to the Virgin and
Child, where images of both are seen en-
shrined amid profusion of flowers and
light and where the offerings of the wor-
as they approach are recovered.

Theft of Scrap Iron.

Mr.. Edward Wright, a special officer
of the p. w. g. b. r. r. Co., noticed a
colored boy, on Saturday last, stealing a
quantity Of scrap iron belonging to the
Company. Mr.. Wright followed the boy
but before he could catch him the young
thief had disappeared. Subsequently, he
was arrested and at hearing before the
Mayor, last evening, he was held In the
sum of $500 for his appearance at Court.
He gave his name as William Benson.
On the evening of the same day Mr..
Wright caught a white boy at the same
business. He arrested him and he will
be given hearing this evening before
the Mayor.
Duck Creek Republicans Dead
From the Smyrna Times.
The call for hundred Delegates to
meet in Dover tomorrow at the Republi-
can County Convention was of no avail so
far as Duck Creek is concerned. 1t is
something new for political affairs to 90
by default, and so far rs we know, with
out precedent. The feeling among the
Republicans in this section, we believe,
is adverse to making out county ticket
and this doubtless accounts for the lack
of interest in appointing the usual dele
gates.

An Alpine Avalanche.

In the summer of 1864, party of tourists, while vlsiting the Alps, climbed, with great difficulty, to an elevated and snow covered plateau, Tn order to obtain Q better view of Swiss scenery, and contrast the beauty and richness of midsummer below with the bleakness and steril- ity of midwinter around and above them. In play they rolled the most snow into large balls, they crowded it over the edge Of the plateau. In falling 1t struck softer snow, which immediately gave way, and soon an avalanche was tearing down the mountain side burying and destroy ing everything in its course. As the handful of snow became the irresistible avalanche, so the hack ing cough with sore throat and Ca tarrh, if neglected, speedily develops into that dread destroyer, Consump- tion. In the early stages, Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will effect a cure, though if the blood be affected or impoverished it must be purified and enriched by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and the liver and bowels kept active by his Pleas ant Purgative Pellets. Many who despaired of life and had been given up to die by physicians and friends, owe their restoration to the above remedies.
 ELY, LINN O., IOWA, May 8, 1877. DR. PIERCE, Buffalo, N Y.:
 Dear Sir--I was prostrated some three years since with pleuro pneu- monia, which left me with trouble some cough, that gradually grew worse until physicians gave me up to die with consumption. l tried several remedies, that are advertised to cure consumption, but without obtaining any relief or benefit. See ing your Colder Medical Discovery and Pleasant Purgatlve Pellets ad- yertised, I concluded to try them, and I found them to be all that you claim for tLem. My restoration has remained complete for over two years. Inclosed find $l.50 for copy of your Common Sense Medical Adviser. Dyer gratefully yours,

-Peterson's Magazine for Febru- ary is already on our table, and more than maintains the popularity of this unrivalled lady's book. We thought the steel engravings, in the January number, could not be ex- cellea, but the prinbipal one for Feb ruary, "Thc Challenge" represent ing mischievous glrl about to throw a snow ball, is, by all odds, the best that has appeared, any where, for years. There are many who would give years subscrip- tion for this picture alone. The sto- ries are even better than usual, and this is saying the most that can be said. Her Creditor" by Frank Lee Benedict, is very powerful; so also is sThe November Night" both such stories as one rarely reads in these days. There are about fifty wood engravings of the latest styles in fashions, of patterns for the work table, etc, etc, besides the usual douole-size colored steel plate of late Paris fashions. At it's price, two dollars a year, this is simply the cheapest of the really good maga zines. If you have not subscribed already, do so at once. or get up d club for it, and earn copy free.

Country Newspapers.

l.. R. Gazette: There was never a time in all tie history of Arkansas when the country press exhibited more activity and enterprise than at the present. It is true that some of our country exchanges have been hard pressed; with a few the wolf has been at the door, but almost without any exception they say to the people in the language of the Beebe Statesman I've intend to stick" Do the people know the profit which comes from an active and cordial support of q country newspaper? Do you realize the fact that the money which they expend in supporting their newspaper comes back to them a hundred fold in the growing intelligence, the increased business and general prosperity of the public. Don't say your paper is little and dearer than the great Eastern weeklles, but go to work and make it larger, more at tractive and more useful. Support your own schools, your own manu- lecturers, but, most of all, your own papers. Let every man in Arkansas remember that if he would be intelli- gent, if he would assist in calling at tention to his immediate local inter- ests and so add to the general ad- vancement of the State, he should do his best to sustain his county paper.
