A Hero of the Present.

When the yellow fever broke out in Portsmouth in 1855 young man, MT. Samuel Cntherell, though un- encumbered, refused to leave, but nursed:in the terribly infected hospi- tals until stricken down himself. Cheerful and determined, he recover ed and nursed on until the plague was stayed and his city free. When the war broke out he went to the front and exibited the same cheerful, fearless devotion and disregard of danger. In this service he contract ed violent rheumatism which has left the marks of It's violence on his brave limbs. And now, a man of.,45, he passed through this city on his way to memphis to help tue stricken people as a nurse. He spoke to a friend cheerfully of his determine tion to fight the yellow fever from city to city till relieved of his self imposed labors by victory or death It is very hard in these selfish days to find such men, but it is something for the American people to remem- Der with pride that some men and women have been found equal to ev. cry emergency, however dire the ca. lamity or desperate the issues.- White County Record.

THE ATKINS NEWS IN TROU-
 BILE.

In last Thursdays issue of the At kins News there appeared communi- cation alluding in very disrespectful and scurrilous terms to His Honor, Judge Pounds, who was at that time on the bench of the Pope Circuit Court. The article came to Judge Pounds attention and he very properly caused warrants to be issued for the writer of the article, MT. J. N. Burnett, and also for the Editor and Publisher of the paper, and they were arraigned to an- swer tor contempt.
 Tuesday they appeared before the court and, we understand, were through the leniency of the court discharged with no other penalty than the repri- mand of the Court and the payment of the costs.
 We think they got of extremely light, for while the action of our courts may be, and undoubtedly is, subject to respectful and just criticism, it is a very reprehensibie offense to attempt through the columns of the public prints to bring our courts of justice, which should command the highest res- pect and the utmost confidence of the people, into disrespect and contempt. There could be no more hurtful and gross peryersion of the use of the press than the admission into the newspaper columns of matter calculated to strip our courts of their dignity and import ance; and the admission of such mat ter is unquestionable eyidedce that the publisher who permits it has no proper conception of the legitimate use of the press. The press, in such hands, is a curse instead ot blessing to the State. The man who holds the key to the newspaper columns has a high weight of responsibility resting upon him, and he who does not appreciate it and guard we'll the columns over which he pre- ! sides, is unfit for the profession. l In the present instance not only has a noble profession been abused and de- based, but most excellent man--one who not only as man, but also as an upright, just and efficient judge--has been most unjustly and unprovokedly, made the subject of scurrilous and disrespectful attack.
 For the honor of the newspaper pro- fession, as we'll as the honor of our ju- dietary. we trust our contemporary will never be guilty of such Q disreputable thing again.
 It is but doing an act of simple justice to the new editor of the News, MT. c. K. Tobey, to state that the article was inserted into the columns of the News without his knowledge, consent or appreciation.

Pay for your Paper

Little Rock Democrat The follow ing very apt comparison represents so truthfully the newspaper business that we reproduce it for the benefit of delil- quent subscribers:
 We suppose many people think that newspaper men are persistent duns. Let a farmer place himself in similar business position, and see if he would not do the same. Suppose he raised one thousand bushels of wheat, and hls neighbor should come and buy bush ef, and the price was small matter Of only two dollars or less, and the neigh bor says, "I will hand you the money in few days" As the farmer did not want to be small about the matter, he says, Gall right!. and the man leaves with the wheat. Another comes in the same way, and the whold one thousand bushels are trusted ons to eMe thousand different persons, and hot one ot the purchasers concerns himself about it, for it is small amount he owes the farmer, and, of course, thai would not help him any. He does moi realize that the farmer has frittered away all his large crop of wheat and | that its value is due him in q thousand little driblets, and he is seriously em- barrassed in his business, because his creditors treat it as a matter. But il all would pay him promptly, which they could do as we'll as not, it woale be very large amount to the farmer and enable him to carry on his business without difficulty. The above compar' ison is too true of the difficulties that newspaper men have to contend with

The Tariff.

We have watched with interersr, the discussion, or rather the asser- tion made by part of the State press, in regard to the tariff question. Though, so far it has only been used as sounding brass, or as tinkling to distract and direct the public mind. Yet we believe we perceive the germ of what may become a fla tai plant to the industries of Arkan- sas. It is enough for us to say at this time, that if necessary to dts- cuss this question rather than to make assertions, that we can conclu- sively show that we should invite, and court to come to Arkansas all the industries that we can supply raw material to convert into nse and useful articles and implements, and that there shoulp not be tar if for revenue only, but tariff that would and will protect any capital that is or may be invested in them as we'll that invested in Pennsylva, mia. We would take. care of home interest first, and be charitable to the world afterwards. We prefer home politics, home work and only such work as we have capacity for, rather than be. bowling and clinging to somebody's oattail with such . hue and cry as the subject has and may raise again, because I, sounds large to he dabbling in nat ional politics.-[saline County Di gest.

Extra Liability to Malarial In-
 lection.

Persons whose blood is thin, digcs- tion weak and liver sluggish, are extra liable to the attacks ol malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may, under such conditions, infect system which, if healthy, would resist miasmatic taint. The only way to secure iminu- nifty from malaria in localities where 1t is prevalent, is to tone and regulate the system by improving weakened diges- tion, enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome impetus to biliary secretion. These results are accomolishcd by noth- ing so effectively as Hostetter's Stom- ach Bitters, which long experience has proved to be the most reliable safe- guard against fever and ague and kin dred disorders, as well as the best rem cdy for them. The Bitters are, more over, an excellent invigorant of the organs of urination, and an active den, urent, eliminating from the blood those acrid impurities which originate rheumatic ailments.

 ED. DEMOCRAT: An article appear ed Tn your paper of the 25th ult., which in some way compromises me, in this--that it places me in Q false light in respect to the regard l have for the Hon. w. w. Mansfield. l would distinctly state that l have never made use of the language at tributcd to me in the connection in which it is charged that used 1t.
 My regard for ssJudge M. would have forbidden such an expression, and nothing could have provoked it but desire on my part to see him take the stand in the ranks of greatness which his great talents entitled him to. J. w. TooMER.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 5, 1878.


 There is not on earth finer seas on and a finer climate than in Wash ington in October. Every year brings about the same cool and in vigorating air, the same exquisite colors above us and Tn the fields and woods, and the same busy appear ance to our always beautiful streets and avenues. It has always been q belief of mine that the St. John river running along the Eastern line of Maine, was the finest river in the world. The Rhine or the Hudson has uo nobler scenery. Any one who has followed the rlver from it's mouth to it's source in the far and almost un- known forests will agree with me. But in Washington and it's cnvirons and on the Potomac above and near us, all that any of these streams can offer is found. Let the lover of the beautiful in nature pass his Octobers and Junes in Washington, wherever the rest of the year may be spent.
 It IS now too late for Senator Da- wis. The vote of October States will be cast before any letter of hls on the political situation can be given publicity. If the Senator had any Democratic, Republican, or third party views he should have put them before the people in response to the letters of his Washington admirers. After next Tuesday no politician can receive credit for entire sincerity in any course he may take.
 All through the summer the White House has been as dull as a Banquet hall deserted" no portions open ex- cept the first large corridor in the great East room, where the lin cover cd furniture and tarlton -draped chan deliers reminded one of past splen- dors, and gayeties departed. Every thing was in good order, of course, and the handsome grounds without were perfectly kept, but there was ev- cry where evidenced an unspeakable, silent not-at- home ar, such as one can see, indeed, in and about many another great establishment here du- ring the summer months. But week before last the executive man. sion walked from it's summer droning and tood on the busiest, livliest tone imaginable. The Presidential fami ly returned, visitors came and went, continual axe grinding went on. and the ushers and doorkeepers were sti- fled with cards of callers. And last week, Saturday, the climax of activi- ty was reached, when the presenta- tion of the Chinese embassy to the Administration took place iii the Blue Room-loyliest apartment inthe White House. The actual scene was very much like all that are witnessed when foreign diplomats are first off. cially presented to the President, the ceremony and Journalism being simi- lar; but the costumes of the orient als were curious and picturesque ln the extreme. Pagoda hats, loose blouses, slashed skirts, and baggy trousers. The Embassador, Chm Lan Pin, wore richer and finer cloth ing than the rest, Lishatbelngplumed and ieweled, blouse, velvet collared skirt of heavy silk, and trousers elaborately embroidered; while al his side hung dagger with sheath and hilt thickly studded with dia monds and other precious stones This Chief Ambassador is about 70 stout, portly and pleasant c6anten anced.
