hable pains for years, from which they
sought relief in vain by visiting the Hot
and Warm springs of Arkansas and Vir-

more or less highly praised, when, in fact,
hope had almost died ont, they have found
relief from pain by the use of the Annili-

An Arkansas Hero.

The battle of Cerro Gordo was one of the most hotly contested engage ments of the Mexican war. On the 18th of April, 1S47, the American forces carried the heights by storm. The evening previous, from the ram parts proudly foated the Mexican battle flag attached to the wheel of the carriage of murderous battery that all night poured shot and shell into the American ranks. The battlements fairly bristled with artillery and behind them lay the renowned General San.a Anna with 15,0O0 of the flower of Mexican army. A large reward was offered by General Scott to the man who would capture the ensign upon the gun. The storming began early on the following morning. The second Tennessee Volunteers made gal lant charge upon the battery over which fioated the Mexican eagle and serpent. One man reached for the colors and fell dead upon the spot, but another more fortunate boldly mounted the gun, tore the flag from the carriage and bore it triumphant ly away. That man lives within ten miles of Dardanelle, his name is w. NJ. Parkinson, and his most cher ished possession is the old Mexican banner that once floated so proudly upon the sulphurous smoke that belched from the booming guns upon the heights of Cerro Gordo.- na ardanolla ImmiUrant

Jewels of the crown of scotland

Jewels of the Crown Ot Scotland.
 At Edinburg, Scotland, some years since, the Jewels of the Crown were locked in box, that box in another, and so on, until they were supposed to be burglar proof. They were then locked up in the vault of the castle, there to remaln for one hundred years, the keys being placed in q mortar and fired into the sea. Scarce fifty years passed by, and the modern lock-pick opens the vault and boxes without trouble. So the science of medicine, when studied with the aid of chemistry and the microscope, become plaln and sim pie, and diseases that were regarded incurable generation ago, now readily yield to remedies employed by the modern and progressive phy sician. A decade of years since, and women were taught to believe that their peculiar diseases and weaknesses were incurable; but now hundreds and thousands of once bedridden women, in the United States will testify to tho fact that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has effected their perfect and perma- nent cure.

 Dear Sir,--About five years since my wife was sick, and though we employed the best physicians in our city, yet she gradually grew worse, so that she was confined to the bed.

RooMs DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL CoM..
 LITTLE RocK, March 20, 1878.


 At meeting of this committee, held pursuant to adjournment, in the City of Little Rock, March 20, 1878, it was resolved by the commit tee that Convention of the Demo cratic party of the State of Arkansas be called to assemble at the City of Little Rock, on Thursday, the 4th day of July, 1878, for the purpose of nominating candidates for the State offices to be voted for at the general election to be held on Monday, the 2d day of September, in said year, and for the transaction of such other business as may be deemed adyis- able.
 It was resolved by the committee that the basis of representation in said Convention, and until said Con vention may otherwise order, shall be one vote for each 400 votes, and one vote for such fraction over 200 votes, as cast for William R. Miller, candidate for Governor at the last election, held on the 4th September, 1876.
 And inasmuch as 1t has been the practice heretofore to send from the counties adjacent to the place of holding the Convention large num- bers of delegates, who, by the moral weight of their numbers in excess of the votes to which they arc entitled, give advantage over the distant coun ties in the choice of candidates, and thereby produce confusion in the Convention and want of harmony in the party, it was resolved by the committee that the number of dele gates allowed to the several counties should be limited to the number of votes which they are entitled to cast in the Convention; in compliance with which action of the committee, I hereby announce that the Demo cratic State Convention, at the time named by said committee, to.wit, the 4th day of July next, will meet at the city of Little Rock, and, upon the basis established above, the sew eral counties will be entitled to the number of votes and delegates fol lowing, to-wit:

 Home.
 DEAR MoTHER-I am not making so much progress as expected In my studies, because there's q great deal else to attend to here. But we have lively times. I have just re turned from the funeral of Billy Cook. He was shot last Tuesday night because he wouldn't allow the Sophs to take off his pantaloons and paint his legs red and green, barber pole fashion. This is the last de- gree conferred on the Freshmen by the Sophs. I wish you would send me a six. shooter, 100 cartridges and double -barrelled shot gun. We ain't agoing to stand any more non sense from the Sophs. After pray CTS this morning our class were all busy making sand bags. We're putting up barricade on the east side of our building, and intend to mount it with six pound cannon ade. The losses in our class have been pretty heavy this week.
 John Hilton is very low with a bullet in his stomach, and Seward Livingstone is not otexpected to recov- CT from the stab in the side. Jack Rhinelander is lamed for life by a bullet Tn the knee, and Sam Astor has lost the sight of one eye from a brickbat. There isn't whole win dow left in our college building. But you wait, mother. You just wait a few days and you'll hear something. We are undermining the Soph's quarters. We are working day and night. The tunnel is now 120 yards long. It goes straight oyer the cam pus and under old Prcx's building. We've established q communication with his cellar, and l tell you a drop of clarct or Burgundy is very nice to have after fellows handled pick and shovel half the night. We use dynamite. Keep shady, mother. There won't be Soph left by this time next week. Your affectionate son, VIRGIL KELLEY.
