see the correspondent Of that journal, who, having
an inkling of what was to take place at Vaence.
st. Rambart and Romans, wanted to force
his way in where Gambetta was sitting chatting
with Sir Charles Dixie, and be ahead Of
the event. A curt message, intended TO throw the
correspondent off the track, was taken to him by a
secretary, and admission refused NJ. de BlOwitz
had been indiscreet in reporting to his journal the
account of an interview which he was granted few
days subsequent TO the breakfast given by the
Prince of Wales at the Hotel Bristol. " Interview
ing " is q thing winch must be done with very
light hand in Paris, and with perfect taste:
BlOwtz's hand is very heavy his taste coarse and
his tact MIL He is avery inaccurate reporter and his
inaccuracies not calculated TO cover his
tracks, but either TO show himself off,
OF, for reason best known to himself TO throw
fat into the fire. Bismarck gave him and The
Times a very rude brush the other day in the Ger

up between the four Russian Grand Dukes and

 A Great Convenience.

With the view of atiording pnblic convenience and of promoting the efficiency of the postal service the
 Postmaster General has ordered that the registry system be extended to mail matters of the third class. The order went into effect on the lst inst and is working admirably. The reg istry fee is ten/ cents additional to the postage now required by law, and must be prepaid in full. Pack ages are required to be put up se- curely, so as to bear transportation, and must be so wrapped as to admit of easy examination by the postmas- ter. The name and address of tile sender must be endorsed, either in writing or in print upon the package and no additional written matter is permitted by law. Postmasters are required to registea all packages ol third class matter, presented for that purpose, addressed to any postotlice in the U. s, or to any foreign coun- try within the limits of the Postal Union.- Little Rock Democrat.

The Gazette Denies.

The Hot Springs Telegraph thinks all of those anonymous letters which the Gazette in publishing, lauding Col. Bob Johnson to the very skies are pretty tolerably thin, and mildly intimates that they are written by tine versatile pen of the Gazette edI. tor himself.- Russellyllle DEMO GRAF.
 Our friend of the Russellvile DEM ocKAT forgot to mention in the above Laragraph that we had also positive. iy denied the truth of said intma- ton. It is right which every cor respondent has to withhold his name from any communication he may wish to publish, with the reserve ton, of course, that any one who is wronged by it may make demand for the name of the author. We would much prefer that all our cor. respondents should sign thelr own names to their communications but that is matter we cannot control We hayc written to the author of the communication that gave rise to this controversy, asking him for permis- sion to use his name as defense against the insinuations that have been made against Us. We have no doubt but that privilege will be accorded us, and if sn, we will aston ish as well as confound our accu- Sers.- Gazette.

THE YELLOW FEVER.

The advent of cold weather has caused the monster to measurably relax his remorseless grasp. Most of the infected districts east of the river have been visited by frost, and the back bone of the disease is, we sincerely trust. broken. There will still be some cases where the germs of the disease were in the system, and the cravings of the destroyer will perhaps not be satiated until some few more victims have been gwen to the grave; but we trust to soon see Jack Frost wln the victory over the destroying scourge and to see our whole land free from the plague once more. May that tine be very close at hand, for the harvest of death has already been fearful one and many is the hearthstone that it has robbed and left deserted, desolate and cheerless; and when we see the last retreating footsteps of the grim, gaunt monster, may it be many yeys that he will wander be- fore he again makes tracks in our far land.

PUBLIC ECONOMY.

The Russellville DEMOCRAT is op posed to the reduction of the sala- Ties of State ofiicers-thinks they are low enough. We are little surprised at this, as that paper urges the strictest economy in all the de- partments. Bro. Battenfield would not reduce the salary of the officer to that of a clerk, but he would go for the clerk. We'll that is always the way, pay the boss big wages at the expense of the man who does the work. That is what builds up labor parties in this country. We may be old fogyish in our opinions, but, nev- ertheless, we think that the man who does the work ought to receive the pay. What think ye, Bro. Batten- l field?
 The above is from the columns of one of our highlyssesteemed exchang- es-the Lonoke Democrat. The Democrat understands our position exactly right when it says we are in favor of the strictest economy in all the departments. That is our posi- tion exactly, but we do not think we should lose sight ci the difference between economy and parsimony No good, sound business firm consid- CTS it economy to seek those em- ployees and agents winch can be procured for the least money. The man who fills the head of either de. partment has great responsibility resting upon him, and we should re. member that any man who is compe- tent to fill such place can make far more at his private business or pro fession than the salary paid him by the State. We think like Bro. Hicks
 that the man who does the work ought to have fair pay for his sefvi- ces, and we would be just as far | from "going from the clekr" to en. rich the officer as Bro. H.
 And then we believe, too, that the man who gets the pay should do the work. We are willing that both of, ficer and clerk shall have fair pay for the work they do for the State, but we think there is too much clerk work done in the departments, per haps, and too little work by the officers themselves. The matter of our department officers salaries is a small item Tn our States expenses, and we believe it is in other quarters, as we said in our former article on this subject, that the economizing should be done.

HELP THE HOMELESS VIC
 TIMS.

We heartily endorse the following from the Atkins News:
 Frost, cold weather and winter, which will be welcomed by so many, are not tar of. Christmas, joyous Christmas, will be a sad, sorrow ful one at many, many a desolate hearth stone. Oh how many thousands are longing for the frost and the chilly air before the chill of death comes to take away their loved ones. Yes, winter is coming, but it will hrlng distress, suffering and sorrow as well as cessation of the plague. The world has given freely to the stricken sufferers in their despair, but who will care for the widows and orphans when the wintry blasts drive them shivering to wretched homes? It is to be feared that a long severe winter will make many . poor soul wish that the fever had borne them over the river with the dear ones laid low by the monster. When the fever is over there will be calls for help from the spared ones, there will be thousands of children left in cities without homes. Can not homes for . great many be pro- vided here in Arkansas? Families with few or no children can adopt as their own, many an orphaned little one. If we forget the dead let us not forget the helpless ones they can no longer provide for.

A GREAT ARTERY OFTR ADE
How Can it be Opened up?


 In conversation with gentle man from Boone county few days ago we were forcibly impressed with the necessity and importance of opening up some adequate communi- cation with that section of country either by railroad or good turnpike some means by which those peo pie over there can bring thelr pro ducc to market and take back their supplies of such articles as they can not produce-such as salt, sugar, coffee. boots, shoes, iron, dry goods, &c, We have, said our communica- tor, great abundance of everything that we produce in our country. Our country is in fact perfect cornucopia, oyerfowing with all the products of our land, and we could export large surplus if we only had some outlet. Our corn cribs are mostly full of old corn and we hardly know what to do for room to crib our new crop. We have tons of bacon end lard which we cannot use or sell. Our cellars are piled full of apples which rot down in piles be- cause we cannot use them and can not afford to bring them to your market over such impossible roads. But with all this abundance VIC are poor. We have no money, no salt, no coffee, no sugar, no iron and to get it we have to pull our teams to death over roads which we dread to travel. If we only had an outlet south-a railroad or good turnpike --so that we could reach Little Rock and market our products and get our supplies of articles winch we cannot produce, we would prosper and be happy.
 We are fully satisfied that the picture here presented is correct one, and we know that if there could be some way opened up to afford easy and speedy transits of freights to and from that part of our state it would prove great artery of trade to Little Rock, and to other towns on the lne Of the Fort Smith road in smaller way. That whole section of country is anxious to turn their trade South, and the construction of good road-either rail or pike-so as to tap the Fort Smith road at this point is what they want. If they had such route it would have the effect of stimulating them to in crease the production of farm pro ducts, orchard crops, and stock for which their country is pre- eminently we'll adapted. As it is there is no incentive for them to make anything more than they can consume.
 For years this country has been forced to Springfield to do their bus mess. They now want to change their base and have thelr dealings within their own state. All they ask is assistance to- open up the way. Cannot something be done to open up this great artery of trade? Would it not pay the business men of Little Rock Go give this matter their con sideration? Will it not pay her to reach out her arms and meet the advances that are made to her at least on half way ground? Cannot the Gazette and Democrat stir up the enterprising business men of Little Rock to at least investigate this matter and see what there is in it?
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-10-24

has not only the right, but we hold it to be the DUTr of the State to sce that all tile people are given q com mon school education-- sufficient to enable them to read and write and make ordinary calculations involved in every day transactions, and ifcom- pulsory measures have to be used to get people to send their children to school we are in favor of the State resorting to them.
 Again the Record says:
 Our experience in and observation of public schools has not been such as to make Us fall in love with them. We have never lived in q place where any good came of them.
 And here again we must express surprise. The experience of the ed itor of the Record has been at wide varience with ours. We have never seen the public school system car ried out properly anywhere but that we have admired it and seen its blessings flow out like pure pearls among the people. Go to the State of Ohio and see the effects of tho system there. See how many heads of families you can find there who cannot read the Lords prayer. Sec how many farmers you can find who cannot keep a correct and intelligent account of their farm operations and their store dealings. See now many you will find who will have to ask some one else to read the letter te them which they may receive from an absent friend. See how many you will find who would not figh, for the public schools.
 In our State where the population is sparse and the people poor, ws cannot, of course, have 2 neat, white school house on almost every sectior of land as they have in Ohio, but we can demand of our State Legislature the enactment of such a wise and wholesome school law, that intelli gent people everywhere may see that we do not keep our youth in igno rance through choice, but that it ls merely our sparse population anc our consequent light revenue tha' keeps us from having good public schools. Seeing this, and seeing that we have a great agricultura country, with grand future ahead ofus, and seeing too, that we have { State School Law under which gooc and successful public schools may bt built up, an intelligent class of-pop ulation will soon flow into our State and the obstacle of sparse popula tion and small tax lists for schoo revenue will be removed.
 Let our contemporaries continue to discuss this subject, and Tel them think and consider well what they say upon so important ques l ton.
