A Gentle Hint.

In our style of climate, with its sud- den changes of temperature, --rain, wind and sunshine often intermingled in single day,-it is no wonder that our children, friends and relatives are so frequently taken from us by neglect ed colds, half the deaths resulting di- rcctly from this cause. A bottle of Boschee's German Syrup kept about your home for immediate use will pre- vent serious sickness, q large doctors bill, and perhaps death, by the use of three or four doses. For curing Con- sumption, Hemorrages, Pneumonia, Severe Coughs, Group or any disease of the Throat or Lungs, it's success is sim ply wonderful, as your druggist will tell you. German Syrup is now sold in every town and village on this conti- nent. Sample bottles for trial, l0c.; :; regular size 75c. For sale iby J. Nj. Harkey & Rro.

Honor in His Own Land.

Says Comley in his recently issued work, The History of New York State, "The day has passed when the benefactors of humanity were allowed to live in ignominious pov- erty-their sacrifices, their labors, unrecompensed. To-day, the bene- factors of the people-the men who devote their lives and energies to the interests of humanity-these are the men whom the world delights to honor, and whom it rewards with princely fortunes. As an earnest worker for the welfare of his fellow men, Dr. R. V. Pierce has won their warmest sympathy and esteem. While seeking to be their servant only, he has become a prince among them. Yet the immense fortune lavished upon him by generous people he boards not, but invests in the erection and establishment ot institutions directly contributive to the public good, the people thus realizing, in their liberal patronage, q new meaning of that beautiful Oriental custom of casting bread upon the waters. Noted in both public and private life for his answering integrity and all those sterling virtues that ennoble man hood, Dr. Pierce ranks high among those few men, whose names the Empire State is justly proud to in scribe upon her roll of honor. Am bitions, yet moved by an ambition strictly amenable to the most dis eliminating and balanced judg- ment,' his future career promises tc bo one of unparalleled activity and usefulness, ably supplementing the work he has already accomplished by a life at once noble in effort, en' viable in it's grand results" While Dr. Pierce's genius and energy have won for him so enviable position on the records of a nation, having been elected Senator by an over whelming majority, hls justly cele

The Parent of Insomnia.

The parent of insomnia or wake fitness is in nine cases ont of ten a a dyspeptic stomach. Good diges- ton gives sound sleep, indigestion interferes with it. The brain and stomach sympathize. One of the prominent symptoms of weak state of the gastric organs IS a disturb ance of the great nerve entrepot, the the brain. Invigorate the stomach, and you restore equilibrium to the great centre. A most reliable medi- cine for the purpose is Hos. tetter's Stomach Bitters, which IS far preferable to mineral sedatives and powerful narcotics which, though they may for time exert soporific influence upon the brain, soon cease to act, and invariably injnrc the tone ol the stomach. The Bitters, on the contrary, restore activity to the op- erations of that all-important organ, and their beneficent influence IS re- tlected in sound sleep and a tranquil state of the nervous system. A wholesome impetus is likewise given to the action of tho liver and bowels hy lts usc.

Last Hours of victor Emanuel.

fa Ft aff < lfls4 The last hour of the kings life was filled with peculiarly distressing scenes. The Princess Margharita was wild with grief, and had to be taken forcibly away from the couch. Tie king in feeble voice said to her: s Why do yon weep, my child; don't you know that sooner or later all must die?'' A little later, as the members ot hls civil and military household passed before him to bid him fare well, he saw the strong men con vulsed with sobs and said, with much dignity:
 sDon't cry. kings, as well as other people, are mortal.
 shortly before the king breathed his last the physicians endeavored to prevent his wish to be seated in q chair. They advised him to remain in bed, but lie said:
 ''I beg of you, my friends, let me die in my own fashion"
 And they concluded that they woudl.

 Nc., &c.
 We are Tn receipt of printed cir cular from Mir. W. A. Webber, stating that at the request of Senators Gar land and Gravens he is preparing a Statement of Arkansas resources, climate, schools, &c., &c., for the use of the Hon. Win. G. LeDuc, U. s. Land Commissioner, at Washington, to be incorporated in his next report. We arc requested to furnish answers to a series ofqnestions, and as we are continually in receipt of letters from the north asking similar questions we have determined to an sw I through the DEMOCRAT. The an swers are given and numbered to correspond with the number of the question propounded.
 1. AREA.-Pope County has an area of about 720 square miles, or 460, 800 acres. The county is about 20 miles east and west, and 36 miles north and south.
 ?. SURFACE AND PHOTOGRAPHY The surface of the County is of di- yersilied character. In the northern part of the county is broken and hilly, with rnnmng streams of pure spark ling water coursipg their way along the intervening volleys. Along these streams there are rich valleys of land and many fine farms. The table lands on the tops of the mountain spurs are undulating, but rich and l level enough to admit of cultivation. Some good farms have been opened upon the tops of these mountain ridges. The timber here is fine; walnut, wild cherry and chinquepin often grow to be to , 5 feet in diam etre. In the southern part of the county, except in the river bottom, the lands are high well drained up- lands, the elevation being perhaps 100 or 120 feet above the level of the river bed. In the vicinity of Russell vile there is beautiful prairie with an area of about 5000 acres.
 3. TIMBER. The County is well timbered. Some oi the finest piner- ies and cypress brakes in the State are here to be found. Oak, of all kinds, Hickory, Walnut, Gum, Ash, wild Cherry, Cottonwood, Sycamore, &c., &c., abound.
 1. WATER COURSES. The Arkan- sas river sweeps the southern boun. dary of the county, flowing in a south eastern couyse.' The county has river front of about 30 miles, giving us large body of river bot, tom lands.
 Bic PINEY and LITTLE PINEY wash es the western border of the county, flowing from north to south and emptying into the Arkansas river about half way between Russellville and Clarksvillc.
 The lands along Piney are equal to River lands and some of the iinesi farms in the county arc to be fonnc along these creeks. The ILLINOIS BAYOU rises in Searcy County, just north of Pope,and flows down througl the hills in sontherly direction dis charging into the Arkansas river { miles west Of Russellville. There are some fine mill sites on this stream ! GUM LOG CREEg, small stream

Slaughter of the InnOcents.

The St. Louis Republican, in remark
ing upon the general transformation in
the membership of the next Congress,
says that ''this year the old members of
both parties have been singularly unsuc-
cessful in obtaining denominations, and
even without any great change in the
strength of the two parties there will be
a large number of new members" In
the North this result is attributable, so
far as the Democrats are concerned, to
the conduct of the old members in
throwing away the Presidential victory
which their constituency had won at the
polls. Superadded to this act,:was their
support of the Burchard and Hartridge
resolutions virtually sanctioning the
fraudulent title of the present incum
bent. In the South, while the blunder
is universally condemned, it has been
somewhat condoned in consideration of
the triumph of the right of local self
government in the State Administra-
tons, aud the recognition of the fact by
the Hayes administration, policy, how
ever, which had already been established
by President Grant. See the testimony
Of Ellis, Burke and Roberts, of Louis
lana, before the Potter Committee, and
also the recent statement of Stanley
Matthews. Also the dying speeches of
the late Senator Morton.
