The Benefits arising from the use of
Sulphur Baths, in cases Of skin disease.

known. but the cost is too heavy to
be incurred by many persons who

vents diseases of an obnoxious nature

the object Of their desires will be attained through the mode above propo ed. Such an amendment to the constitution will never be rati- fled by the majority of the people. It las too much of the smack of ''class legislation" "--looks too much like an attempt to create a monopoly in the whisky traffic. Under such a regulation we do not believe there would be any diminution in the quantity of intoxicating liquors used; it would only shiit the saleroom from the saloon to the "drug store"
 The best way, in our opinion, to regulate the liquor tafiic is to allow the sale of it the same as any other commodity of merchandise, imposing ALWAYS strict penalties upon the vendor for any evil results, damages, or casualties which may flow from it's EXCESSIVE use. The vendor is the party who derives the benefits from the traffic and let him be held responsible for the results of his operations in this branch of trade.

COLLEGE BURNED.

From the Harrison Times we learn that the M. E. College at that place was destroyed by fire on the 18th ult. The citizens of the place, with most commendable zeal and promptness held meeting on the following day and the following pro ceedings were had:
 Upon motion, the Mayor, H. A. Crandell, was chosen chairman, and k. $. Armitage secretary.
 Col. Patterson was then called upon to state the object of the meet ing, after which remarks were made by several gentlemen, giving their views in the premises.
 On motion, a committee consisting of Col. A. $. Prather, Dr. Routh and J. A. Terrence, Esq, to solicit sub scriptions to a fund to offer as re- ward by the Mayor as chairman of the citizens, was appointed, who i'm mediatelY opened books for the pur- pose.
 On motion, the Sheriff was re. quested to offer a reward for tue ap- prehension of the perpetrators of the crime, and that he be requested to correspond with the Governor with view of gaining his assistance in the same direction.
 On motion the chair was author ized to appoint four citizens to con- suit with himself in all matters, in regard to correspondence with detec- tives and to asst, in all possible manner, in discovering the per petrators.
 On motion, all present agreed to cooperate in every way to assist said committee and that all evidence that might lead to detection was to he communicated to said Committee.
 The following resolution was then offered by Col. J. II. Patterson:
 Resolved, That we regard the burning of the NJ. E. College as a calamity to the whole country, and we will heartily sympathiZe with, and cheerfully aid in it's reconstruc- tion, to the extent of our ability.
 On motion, the Harrison Times be requested to publish these proceed ings, and that State papers be re- spectfully requested to copy the same.
 On motion the meeting adjourned.

THE BLOODY SHIRT.

We find the following letter in the Little Rock Gazette. The initials of the writer will at once be recog- nized as those of one of our respect able, reliable and fair minded fellow citizens, Dr. Brown, of Bolesville. If a few more leading republicans thro'- out the South would have the man hood to speak out as Dr. B. has. we opine that Mir. Blaine's little game to make himself prominent as Prcsi- dential timber for 1880, would not win worth a cent.
 BoLEsviLLE, Ark, Dec. 20, 1878.
 EDITORS GAZETTE: sec there is a disposition upon the part of the leading politicians of the north to again bring forth the bloody shirt, and as I was in the United States army, and have been republican ever since the war, I would like to say through the columns ot your paper, that l have been here ever since tte war closed. I was registrar of Pope county in 1868, under the re construction acts; then registered the sane county under the Clayton state government; was county judge of said county four years, and l have never been bulldozed the first time. There has been great deal of trouble here and a man can get in to trouble anywhere by meddling too much with other peoples busi- ness. There has never been time here since the war, that union man was in danger of his life, who attend ed 70 his business and let other peo- hle's alone. have frequently seen democrats vote for republicans for township and even county offices and there ie not DOW 6 moro quiet

 Our people want rest; they want to be let alone, and they all want political excitement to dIe out. We now want to make money; we don't care much who goes to congress, or holds the offices so they administer justice to ali alike, and we haven't yet had any reason to complain. The northern people need not be afraid to come down here; there is room for thousands, and the good people of Arkansas will treat them like brothers if they act the gentle man; and if they are desirous of aa office, their chances are as good here as anywhere elce.

A Thrilling Narrrtive.

Among the eXclted crowd that visited the
office of the Helena (Montana) IHdependent for
news concerning the Ute outbreak, there stood
a tall, handsome youth of twenty-three years,
the strange whiteness of whose hair became at
once a matter of comment. This young man
was John Laefarr, who had not long ago hired
himself as a ranchman with Charles ID. Hard,
threee miles out of Helena. Laetarr was I'M.
portuned by an Independent reporter to tell
1.-The story OF his gray top-knot" lie, at the
age OF nineteen years, was one OF the seven
packers who left for Fort Lincoln in 1915 to
ride with General Custer along the Little Big
Horn. When the fight of that bright but dis
astrous summer morning opened, Laefarr, with
his companions, happened to be three miles
away from camp. In Il few moments after the
sound of the combat reached him, a band of
Sioux sprang from the grass within few feet
of them. Laetarr nooscd rope, placed it in
the mouth of the nearest horse, and leaping up
on the animals back, lunged his spurs INTO
the flank. As he Rugged his horse he saw his
six companions 90 down one after the other
One bullet that followed him tore through his
neck, another cut deep furrow across his

weak and faint from loss of BLOOD, he Outran

three friendly Crow Indians and taken 10y them
to Fort Lincoln, where he told of the massacre
1t was not until he reached the fort that he
knew of the change in his halr, which, before
his terrible suffering, was rs black as a ravens
wing. Lactarr has since been living ut various
points on the plains. He does not like to 20
