TIE THIRD SEX,

4 few years ago there was discussion
afloat regarding the opicene or third sex,
but there never was such on other caso
known as that ofthe Chcvalier D'Fon, whose
gender was a matter of doubt during his long
life Of eighty-two years, and the question
never was settled until medical examination
was made of his body after death. In his
early life he wore male costume, and was an
Advocate in Paris. When he was under
thirty Louis XIV. sent him on a secret mis-
sion to st. Petersburg, Having no beard
and and sn efiemnate face and manner, he
adopted feminine garb, and with woman's
tact and cunning ingratiated himself in the
favor Of the Czarina Elizabeth, achieved his
political object, and returned to France to
announce his success. lie revisited Russia
soon after in masculine attire, palmed him
self off on Elizabeth as the brother Of her
former lavoritei became a subject of court
scandal on account Of his relations with the
Empress, and once more prospered in his
negotiations. lie went back to his native
diplomatic missions, degenerated into mere
adventurer and yet enjoyed pension from
the King. He lived in London for a while,
and during that period heavy wagers were
laid upon his sex. A lawsuit was brought
before Chief Justice Mansfield to decide one
of these bets and the decision was in favor of
the plaintiff, who introduced witnesses to
prove that Dion was woman. These all
swore to the Frenchman's feminity as a fact
within their personal knowledge, and their
testimony could not be successfully impeach-
sailles, and Louis XVI. who had succeeded
to the throne, in freak ordered him to ex-
change his dragoons uniform for petticoats.
Once more he slipped over to London, and
while there the French revolution broke out
and he was declared exiled. He supported
himself by selling his library, teaching tho
sword exercise and picking up hand-to-
mouth living. As he approached old age he
journeyed back to France and petitioned the
National Assembly, under the name of
Madame Dion, Tor leave to re-enter the ar
my which was refused. Again he retraced
his steps to England, where he died in petit
coats, retaining them to the end After his
death illustrious surgeons made an examin-
alton of the body and decided that Dion
was man. a stranger career history hard

Now that the epitaph of the A. < R. plan has been written, why not agitate the purchase of our bonds at market prices with bonds bearing a reasonable interest, such as we can pay, at thirty years. These bonds would go to par as soon as we paid the first installment of interest and demonstrated from the amount of taxes collected that we could contin- ue to do so. In this purchase let us purchase only valid bonds, and pay nothing for Railroad And bonds, and invalid portion of Holfords, and (since the supreme court decision hold Levees valid,) let us pay as little as possible on the Leyee bonds. The holders of Arkansas undisputed paper cannot get p cents on the dollars in market. Would they not gladly exchange for thirty year bonds, representing an amount with in our power to pay, at 20 cents on the dollar? They could use such paper, but the bonds they now have are useless. Of course, the sore heads who tried to put the A. & R. plan through, in spite of everything, will oppose this or any other plan. They failed and now a dog-in-the- manager policy comes in order.-van ] UT Argus.

Remedy for Diptheria and Scar
 let Fever.


 Dr. May, of New York, who has so successfully treated very many cases of scarlet fever and diptheria with the newly utilized remedy of sulpho-carbonate of soda as cures for the above diseases says:
 "The use of sulpho-carbonate of soda in diptheria las become set tied fact by the best physicians in New York, Brooklyn and PhiIadel- phia, to be the only certain specific known for that dreadful disease, dip theria, which has taken of so many children in the United States during late years. In it's use it is certain to destroy the parasite fungus in the throat and glands in two hours. Ten grains dissolved in tumbler half full of cold water, aud take from half to full teaspoonful every hour until the parasite is destroyed; then one in two or three hours, according to the circumstances of the case. There is no use in physicians fight ing against this remedy, for they will have to use it if they have suc- cess in the treatment of scarlet fever and diptheria. It is a specific in both diseases, as both are produced by the parasite in the system. It will prevent both diseases If given before an attack, as well as a rem edy. This remedy has been used for diptheria and scarlet fever tor over three years with perfect success, and if given in time before gangrene sets it, it will work wonders and save every case. It was discovered in 1871 by an English physician, and has grown into favor as spe- cific ever since, particularly with children.
 The trichina parasite of pork as soon as it enters the stomach is ab- sorbed by the blood, then in the muscles ot the body. It is not so with the diptheria parasite, it is gen. erated in the stomach, and when it spreads up the @sophagus it pro duces such high stage of infam- nation that gangrene sets in which then dissolves the parasite, and car ries it all through the bleod which is always fatal. Gangrene always dis solves the parasite, but before that takes place the use of the suipho- carbonate of soda will save every case. I have written these lines by special request of very many citizens and friends who desire it made pub lie for the benefit of all"

Thirty Reasons Against Strong
 Drink.

Drink. l. It deprives men of their reason for the time being. 2. It despoils men of their best in tellcctual strength. 3. It fosters and encourages cvory
 species of immortality. 4. It bars the progress of civiliza-
 tion and religion. 5. It destroys peace and happiness
 of millions of families. 6. It reduces virtuous wives and children to poverty. '. It causes thousands of cruel murders. 8. It prevents all reformation of character.
 9. It renders the strongest resolu- tions abortive. 10. The millions of property ex-
 pended upon it are lost.
 II. It causes the majority of cases of insanity.
 12. It destroys both the body and the soul. 13. It burdens society with mil lions of paupers. IA. It causes immense expense to prevent crime. 15. It costs society immense sums in charity. Is. It burdens the country with enormous crime. IT. Many moderate drinkers want the temptation removed. Is. Drunkards want the opportu- nifty removed.
 19. Sober people want the nuis- ance removed. 20. It causes riot and public tumult. 21. Prohibition would save many thousands now falling. 22. Its sale exposes our families to destruction. 23. It makes men unfeeling and brutal.
 24. Its sale upholds the vicious and the idle at the expense of the industrious.  25. Its sale subjects the sober to great oppression. 26. It takes the sober mans wages to support the drunkard. P. It subjects the numberless wo-
 men to great suffering. 2S. It is contrary to the Bible. 29. It is contrary to common sense. 30. We have a right to rid our selves of the burden.

Just as we go to press, we learn that Messrs. C. F. and Milton Thompson, who were taken to Little Rock last Monday on a writ of habeus corpus, issued by the circuit Judge of Pulaski county, were tried on Tuesday. The petition swas re- fused and an appeal granted to the Supreme Court. In the meantime the prisoners were turned over to the La. sheriff and his deputy, with instructions to hold them until de- cision of the Supreme Court could be had, but instead they immediately handcuffed the prisoners, placed them in a covered hack and fed the country.-Western Immigrant.
