On this strong hope-though farewell said

Yet fares he forward undismayed,

A COMET.

We have much pleasure in
announcing the advent Of Bror-
sons comet. The advance agent
has been here, and he says this
attraction will be around about
the first Of next month. BrorsOn
himself will not be with the COM
bination, as he has sold out his
interest in the attraction; still
the comet travels under the old
name. 1t is perhaps not too
much to say that this comet is
one of the most reliable Of the
heavenly bodies that now has
the road, and its exhibitions
never disappoint the audience.
As it has not been extensively
advertised in this section Of the
country heretofore, it will give a
private exhibition at the end Of
the present month to members
Of the press-if they have tele-
scopes. In accordance with the
demands of the time for low pric-
es, the management after long
consideration, has determined to
make the exhibition free, no eX-
ira charge for reserved seats,
which may be secured at the box
Office. Brorson's comet comes
around every five and one-half
years, and when nearest the sun
it occupies a point within the
orbit of the earth. 1t will be one
of the prominent sights in the
heavens during April and May.
Efforts are being made to secure
it throughout June, but it is
feared previous engagements
will interfere. A comet has been
a want long felt in this country.
1t affords q scientific and plaus-
ible excuse for young people
who desire to cultivate each
others acquaintance without the
Eye of the public glaring upon
them. 1t is to be hoped that
Rtbrson's comet will be patron.

GOOD BREEDING.

A writer in the Sunday After
noon says: "Much as we hope
for from the future, what just
now ieopards our public and So
cial welfare, is not old, but
young America. Half a centu-
ry ago there was among us a
real respect for aged people,
outside the circle Of kiuship.
BOYS and girls on the roadside
were not ashamed to make their
manners to their elders, who In
turn had the politeness to re-
turn the courteous civiIity.
That was a good symptom OF
the social sentiment. But the
movement Of the spirit Of the
AGE has left this mostly behind;
and with this respectful feeling
for those whose years and posi-
ton entitle them to an hOnora-
BILE regard has gone, to a peril
Gus extent the reverence OF
many for the authority Of pa
rental rule, for the authority also
Of the state and statute book.
1t is very difficult to break down
D proper habit Of esteem for one
object, and not involve a weak
ening Of respect for others. 1t
is very difficult to bring up that
lad into a trusty, law-abiding
citizen, who has cultivated the
vice Of a contemptious disregard
for his elders. Sometimes there
has been a servile Difference to
these, which is the leaning over
of a virtue to the other side.
That is not our danger. Now
and then a passion for the an
tiuue is the fashion, and the
hunt is ludicrous in its eagerness
after almost anything that has
an ancient look or Odor That
is not to be laughed at as a folly
except in its excess. But if,
whilewe were polishing up and
restoring these relics Of our
fathers furniture and wardrobe
with so much zest, we would re-
yive at the same time, and re-
enthrone, some Of their sOuno
and righteous principles Of hon
or to whom honor is due, our
dwellings and persons would
not only receive adornment, but
our land would be toned up
with a return of stable, health
full public sentiment much need
ed to allay the fever and purge
off the impureness Of our gener-
al social and civil life" j."

SHARP COUNTY.
HER CLIMATE, SOIL, ADVANTAGES
AND RESOURCES.

hFA OLIh RlL1' oOlh' AZ -AA' ~ IN
AND RESOURCES.
Sharp county was established
by the General Assembly Of
1868, and is bounded on the
north by the state Of Missouri,
on the east by Randolph and
Lawrence counties, on the south
by Independence county, and
on the west by lizard and Fulton
counties. It's population is
about nine thousand. Since the
establishment Of the county all
Of the necessary public build
ings have been erected and are
paid for. The face Of the Coun-
try is generally undulating,
though diversified with rich al
luvial bottoms and flat uplands.
In many places the hills are
lofty enough to be called noun
tains. The arabic lands are sus-
ceptible Of producing large
yields Of cotton, corn, wheat,
rye, hay, oats, potatoes, tobacco
and field crops generally while
vegetables of nearly every kind
NAV be produced to great per-
fection, and all fruits adapted to
the climate attain the highest
degree of perfection underproper
culture. That portion Of the
land which is thought to be un-
fit for cultivation, on account Of
the stones which lie principally
upon its surface, produces, each
year, a luXuriant crop Of wild
grass upon which large numbers
of cattle thrive and fatten dur
ing the summer months, and
which, in many places, could be
proftably saved as hay. On aC-
count Of the splendid range the
barrens afford, and their adapt
ability to the production Of the
tame grasses, stock raising and
sheep husbandry could be pur-
sued very protitably, especially
so on the lands last mentioned,
a large portion Of which can be
had under the U. S. homestead
law for almost the asking.
While on this subject we may
add that we are informed by a
gentleman engaged to some eX-
tent in the wool business; that
the wool from the common grade
of sheep brings almost as good
q price in the market as that

EVENING SHADE,

The county site Of Sharp, is stu
ated near the Piney Fork Of
Strawberry river, in a very
healthy section Of country, and
is improving perhaps as rapidly
as any similar in the state.
1t contains four general stores,
one hotel, two blacksmith shops,
tobacco factory, a saddle and
harness shop, three drug and gro
Gerry stores, tan yard, fOnr
physicians, three lawyers, one
weekly newspaper, the RECORD;
matchmaker and one saloon.
In the surburbs are two fine
Touring mills, a wooden factory,
a saw and planning mill and one
shingle machine. Of societies
there are in town a Masonic
Lodge and Chapter and an Odd
Fellows Lodge. The church Or
CARNATIONS are the Baptist,
Methodist and the Cumberland
Presbyterian. The MethOdistS
have one Of the best church
houses in North Arkansas. Eve
ming Shade is also the site Of
Evening Shade College, a thor
ough school for males and fe-
males. The Board Of Trustees
say they are determined to build
up here a first-Class college,
where the people Of the state
may send their sons and daught-
ers for a complete education at
a small cost, and outside Of the
alIurements of vice and eXtraVa-
CANT influences which surround
such institutions in cities and
railroad towns. Evening Shade
is twenty-five miles north of
Batesville, the head Of naviga-
ton on White river, fOrty-fve
miles from Newport on the st.
Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern r. r., and about the same
distance from Walnut Ridge,
Lawrence county, on the same
railway.

Sam Hildebrand, the prince OF
Missouri outlaws, who, with a
price on his head, has often been
sought by sheritfS butnever cap
tured, was supposed to have died
q few wears since, and the peo-
pie Of Southwest Missouri
promptly celebrated the event
and have breathed freer ever
since. 1t now appears that this
report Of his death was inspired
by himself to mislead his enc
mics, and that he has been IN
Mexico. He was recently seen
and interviewed in the woods by
a st. Louis merchant, who was
on a hunting expedition, and
stated that he had stopped kill
ing men, that he would never be
taken alive, and that his sole
desire now is to see his children
in st, Louis. He entered the
Confederate service during the
war, but finally deserted and
Joined the bushwhackers. He
never forgot or forgaye an injury,
and his vindictive nature induc-
ed him to kill every enemy so
far as possible. He has killed
more men and has furnished
more subjects for dime novel
writer's than any other outlaw in
the West.-EX.
Mrs. Hayes, at the White
House, is spoken Of in very
warm terms by a correspondent
of the Springfield Republican,
who says; THE characteristics
Of the presidents wife as a host
ess-her grace and heartiness
and excellent tact at the recep-
tions-have already had public
mention, but not half the praise
which they deserve. She shakes
your hand heartily, as if you
were the one she especially de-
sired to meet. Her plump arm
and her whole graceful body are
alive and alert with eloquent
action. Her various remarks to
the passing hundreds, as l stood
aside and observed her for a
moment, were marvels Of apt
ness and pOliteness."

produced on lands costing fifty
dollars per acre and upwards,
and where the sheep must be
fed daily. Il therefore seems
that North Arkansas offers IN
ducements to the wool producer,
superior to any other country.
Sharp county is we'll timbered,
excepting in the barrens. Sur
rounding Evening Shade IS a
large scope Of country covered
by yellow pine, which is cut by
the saw mills in the vicinity in
to excellent building lumber.
Health in this country is very
good indeed. We will venture
to say that no country in the en-
tire southwest snrpasses 1t for
healthfulness-the malarlal and
bilious diseases so prevalent IN
a large scope Of the west being
very rare here, except in a very
mild form in the densely wood
ed bottoms,
Scarcely a neighbOrhOOd in
the entire countyiS without It's
church house. whichis generally
used by each denomination, and
a great interest is manifested in
the cause Of education. More
schools are sustained in the
county at present than ever be-
fore, and some Of a high order.
Among these may be mentioned
the Evening Shade College, To-
Gated at the county seat, and the
Ash Flat Academy, tweIyemile
north Of this place.
The county also abOunds in
minerals, including iron, lead,
zinc, &c. A bank ofiron almost
rivaling the famous Iron Mount
aims, it is said, may be found in
the northern part Of the county,
on Martins creek, while zinc
has been very successfully
mined and worked at the Smelt-
ING works Of the American Zinc
Company, at CaIimine, in the
southeastern portion Of the
county. Aside from the mineral
interest, the never failing
streams Of pure water invite
capitalists to their numerous
mill and factory sites. The en-
tire county is well watered by
pure springs, brooks, creeks and
rivers. Among the more promi-
nent streams may be mentioned
Spring river, Martins creek,
Strawberry river, Piney Fork,
Big creek, Mil creek and Reeds
creek. Ash Flat, situated near
the waters Of Big creek, in town
ship 18, range 6 west, is a pleas
ant, beautiful village and enjoys
a good trade from the country
surrounding it. It has an intel.
ligent and energetic population
and bids fair to become a sub
stantial little town.
