Rule or Ruin Policy.

Instead of using ali honorable efforts to heal the breech occasioned by the Brooks Baxter imbroglio, the Dynasty Gazette, pretending to be the great conservative organ of the Democratic party of Arkansas, does, apparently, all in it's power to divide the great party of the state. Its sel- fish and sordid ambition seems to know nothing except in exaltlng Col. Johnson agaln to the senatorial chair in the Federal Congress; and to accomplish this much-dcsircd end, it does seem that that paper is will ling to sncceed enen at the. sacrifice of the Democratic party; for it has, of it's own accord, opened the Brooks Baxter war. The Gatlin guns ap pear to be ready for action, and such men as Gen. Thomasson, Col. Wilcox of Van Buren; Pettigrew, Moore and the Walkers, of Fayetteville; Beard en and Salle, of Ouachita; Cause, of Jackson; Gunter, of Washington, Hobson, of Hampstead; Mangum and Saunders, of Phillips; W. D. Johnson and others, of Jefferson, Cunningham and Rousseau, of Lin coin; Dedman, of Dallas; H. B. Stu art, of Clark, John c. Wright. of Un
 ion; John R. Thornton and o. H. r. Richardson, of Calhoun; Pagan, of Pulaski; Poindexter Dunn, of St. Francis; D. McCrea Chairman of our present platform), of White; and hundreds of others we could mention. are to be inspected, to see whether they are still loyal to the Democratic party. For our part, we are tired to such twaddle, and sincerely trust that our honored and much-respected contemporary will put the claims of it's candidate upon higher and broad CT principles than referring to the above unpleasant matter, which all even minded men have agreed should rest in the "Tomb of the Gapulets. ."-Pine Bluff Press.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-08-01
Whar The .Jenks Proved.

First. Mrs. Jenks proves that Weber was acting with Anderson in thls business, and demanded a writ. ten guarantee, just as Anderson tes- tiiied.
 Second. That Anderson did not forge the Sherman letter, but recicv- ed and used it in good faith.
 Third. That Anderson and Web CT did write letter to John Sher- man, in which they reffered to the famous restaurant interview in which Mr. sherman had made them a verbal guarantee.
 That Anderson would have refer red to such assurances by Sherman Tn letter the day after unless they had been given is really incredible. Thus one by one, the links ofAnder- sous original testamony are forged and rivited, no. only by witnesses hostile to sherman, but even by hls own friends and partisans.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-08-01
Home Influence.

If the father chiefly talks "money, money" at home he generally rears a family in the worship of the "al- mighty dollar" If he talks mainly of horses, games and races, he breeds a batch of sporstmen. If fashion is the family altar then the children are offered up as victims upon that alter. If q man makes his fireside attractive, he may req sonaoly hope to anchor his own chil- dren around it. My neighbor Q. makes himself the constant evening companion of his boys. The result is that his boys are never found in bad places. But if a father hears clock strik eleven in club house, he need not be surprised if his boys hear it strike twelve in the gamb- ling room or the drinking-sal If he puts the bottle on his own ta- ble, he need not be surprised if a drunken son staggers in, by and by, at his front door. When the best friend that childhood and youth ought to have, becomes their foe, otheir home becomes the starting point for moral ruin.-Cuyler.
The Russellville Democrat., 1878-08-01

WIT AND HUMOR.

-"Brilliant and impulsive people have black eyes," If they don't have them to begin with, they get them sooner or later.
 A man has invented yellow spectacles for making lard look like butter. They are a great sav- ing of:expense if worn while eating.
 Circus lemonade is making it's appearance. It was so weak last year there were fears that it would not be able to get around this sea- son.-Chicago Times.
 Restaurant patron-"These saul sages are hardly up to the mark" !" Waiter-"They ain't ell? We'll dye expect Italian grey hound and thor oughbred scotch terrier sor two bits?'
 Little green apples, nestling amid apple blossoms and leaves, ap- peared recently on the dress of a California widow. We are snre this is the only proper way to wear green apples. Those worn on the inside are sure to create mischief Herald of Health.
 A woman in India gave birth to five healthy boys, the other day, and the smile almost forsook his cheek when the president heard that such thing happened outside of Ohio. He shonld have sent out his returning board and had Q new count.
 An Illinois Freshman has the reputation of having outwitted q pert Senior. Senior: "Do you know why our college is such q learned place?' Freshman: "Of course; the Freshmen all bring a little learning here, and as the Sen iors never take any away, It natur- ally accumulates."
 A Methodist Presiding Elder was annoyed by an incompetent brother, who wanted license to eX- hort, and in order to confuse the as pirapt asked him the difference be- tween an exhorter and preacher. He answered, "weell you see, a preacher takes text and sticks to it, but an exhorter can rattle all around and say what he likes"
 He came an entire stranger to the girls present, and the boys were mean and would not introduce him. He finally plucked up the courage, and stepped up to young lady, re. quested her company for the next dance. She looked at him in sur prise, and informed him she had not the pleasure of his acquaintance. "Well," he remarked, "you don't take any more chances than l do."

CURED HER.
DORCHESTER, MAss., June Il.


 DR. STEvENs:-
 Dear Sir,-I feel it my duty to say one word in regard to the great benefit l have received from the use of one of the greatest wonders of the world; it is your Vegetine. l have been one of the greatest sufferers for the last eight years that ever could be living. I do sincerely thank my God and your Veg etine for the relief I have got. The Rheumatism has pained me to such an extent, that my feet broke out in sores. For the last three years I have not been able to walk; now l can walk and sleep, and do my work as well as ever 1 did, and I must say owe it all to your blood purifier, Vegetine.
 IMAGERY WELLS. VEGETINE.-The great success of the Vegetlne as a cleanser and purifier of the blood is shown beyond doubt by the great numbers who have taken it, and received immediate relief, with such remarkable cures.
