,E POPE COUNTY, ARKANSAS THURSDAY. JULY 1878.

In regard to the opinion of Atty Gen'l Henderson, when the matter was submitted to him he was fully informed by the same letter as to the true condition of the court house; and ask, that if it is my duty to make an order having it repaired, why did he say, "It would be the duty of the County Court composed of the Judge alone to make tempo rary provisions for holding the courts of the county until the annual meeting makes the appropriation and levies''? Is It not reasonable to suppose he WOULD have said it was the duty of such court to proceed in having the house repaired without the justices?
 But admitting, for arguments sake, that 1 have authority to make such an order unless the law was mandatory, I submit it to every reasonable man if It would not have been very improper in me to make an order which would have put the county to S2.ooo or S3,ooo expense flor 1t would take that much. in county scrip) when Q large number, if not a majority, of the tax payers are opposed to spending another dollar on a building that was at first an imposition upon the county, until the people could express their wish in regard to the matter, And talk ing into consideration both the law and the sentiment of the people l submit, if such an order by me would not have been inaccessible.
 If MT. Reynolds wants the law disregardcd and the wishes of the taxpayers ignored by the County Court, I will simply say that he will not get his wish so long as l remain County Judge.

tHarper's Bazar.l
New York Fashions.

The wooden and silk costumes imported for
spring do not differ greatly from those of last
year; hence it willbe an easy matter to alter
dresses left over that are not worn, but need
simply change of drapery and trimming. To
modernize polonaises of eameps.haiI or other
woolen goods all looped draping in the back
should be taken out and the back breadths
left to hang plainly in rich folds al
most to the end of the skirt beneath. There
should be tapes in the side seams to draw all
the fallness to the back land this fullness should
be disposed in box pleats in the middle scam,
folded underneath and out of sight; the plain
part over the tournure is deeper than formerly.
A long-looped bow of double-faced ribbon
should be sewed low on the hips on the side
seams or else several horizontal, or perhaps
diagonal rows of watered ribbon may bs ar
ranged across each side of the skirt, forming
panels In many polonaises the fronts fall
open from the knees down, as if cut away; in
altering narrow polonaises the material need
only be drawn back to give this appearance.
To make polonaise of this kind take black
camers-hair and trim with beaded fringe or
with watered ribbon. Another way of putting
ribbon or passementerie on these very plain
and very stylish over-dresses is to put row
across the frents below the waist outlining q
basque and when this row reaches the side
seam carry 1t down this seam to the foot where
1t is met by the border of ribbon and fringe.
Still another way of making soft back drapery
is to make the two middle pieces of the back

The Introduction of the Sugar Industry

v.AS ooooA AhauotAI
in Maine.
To the Editor of the Press:
When new industry of great magnitude and
Importance is to be introduced in any country,
IN which it has formerly not existed, not only
many difficulties have to be overcome, but
also many prejudIces. 1t is surprising how
much quicker most people will see the real
obstacles and difficulties than the advantages
which such new industry brings; but still
more surprising it is how many people do see,
or at least imagine they see difficulties where
there really are none.
The act of the legislature in Maine granting
bonus to the first beet sugar factory making
sugar in Maine from beets grown in Maine has
drawn the attention of many of our enter
prising men in Maine to this subject. They all
as matter of course had some opinion why it
had not been done long ago and where the
difficulty was why it could not be done at all.
Taking all the different opinions expressed to-
gether, ninety-nine cut of every hundred have
put the blame on, or the difficulty with, the
farmers. The Maine farmer is behind the
age; the farmers in Maine are too-too every
thing except industrious and smart to go
Into beet raising. Men too careful to express
themselves In q manner as above regarding the
principle and most important class of our
citizens OF Maine, nevertheless expressed their
belief that farmers could not be Induced to
improve their method of farming, and not be
induced to make contracts for the raising and
delivery of beets for the production of sugar
But hardly has the matter been taken hold
of by practical man who understands both

The Courier des Etats- Unis, The French
organ in New York, points out that there is
already King of Bulgaria. It is the gentle.
man variously known as King Of Hungary,
Dalmatia, Croatia, Slavonia, Rama. Servia,
Roumania and Jerusalem, grand.duke of
Pennsylvania, Prince of Ragusa and lara, and
Lord of Cattaro, but more generally recog-
nized as Emperor of Austria. All the Dan
ubian provinces aforementioned are histori-
cal appanages of the Hungarian Crown. Ser
via acknowledged its supremacy in 1902, Bos-
MIA, under the name of the Kingdom of Rama,
some years before that date, Walachia and
Moldavia in 1241, and Bulgaria in 1860. The
rule of Hungary obtained until the Moslem
conquest by the battle of Kossova in 1889.
Its claims have however never been formally
renounced. Prelates whose dioceses are
within the Turkish limits hold seats to-day in
the upper house of tho Hungarian legislature
and Francis Joseph when he was crowned at
Pesth in 1867 took the old coronation oath to
recover, God helping, all territory that had
been lost to the Kingdom. So if Austria oc.
cupies Bosnia, she will be but taking posses
sion of land that once belonged to the
crown of st. Stephen. 1t is hard to say how
far Francis Joseph is influenced by the heral.

u The North Carolina Democrats have
heap of trouble on their minds. The State
law requires the election of Representatives

under 1t the elections, should they take place
in August, would be annulled.
