the State school Fund, and remained as such till the..year 1875, when they were excepted out of said funds, and do not now form any part of 1t.
 The interp rotation of the opinion is, that the effect of these several changes in the disbursement of the proceeds from the sale or lease of these lands, removes them from under the control of ''all laws in force on the subject, ex- cept the original compact or grant, and that no officer, either State CT county. l is authorized to receive or disburse the money."
 It does certainly seem, that the grant 1 ing or setting apart of these lands to the townships and districts, was vest l ing them with the title to the lands, and that simply changing the man. ner of disbursing the proceeds arising from the sale or lease of the land, would not take away the title fr,m the district. | Whether they are authorized to do so, or not, both State and County officers | ahE PipSNNoo iAt" tbN lease of the 16tl Section, in this (Mar- tin) township. The Sheriff has leased to other parties some of this land, for a term of six years, 1 believe, and has let out some to the highest bidder, (for one year) for tive consecutive years. l He has been notified to pay over the rent for the year 1878, into the State Treasury--to be held as ''trust fund' 1 suppose.
 1 We have had a good deal of trouble with this matter, in our district. We supposed that the title was held by tic Directors, in the name of the District, fSee section l & 53, school law and that they had the right to lease or rent the land, and deposit the proceeds in the County Treasury with the balance of the district fund. To settle the ques- tion. we applied to Hon. F. Thach, then County Judge, for information. He instructed us to send q petition to the County Court, praying the Court to di- rect the proper authority to lease or rent the land for the benefit of the School district in the township. We sent up the petition signed by the elec- tors of the districts, and presume the Court ordered the Sheriff to take charge of the matter. What about no officer being authorized to receive or pay out these monies? If the lands were grant ted to the townships and districts, and have not been taken away from us, are they not still ours? What good can districts derive from funds they never use? We agree with our friend Falls, this 'trust fund" arrangement is too much like the one talent scrape. If these lands were in the hands of the Directors, every district that has not disposed(?) of its land could soon have farm that would sustain a school the greater part of every year. We will have permanent and useful system of free schools, when the school interests are separated from all others, and it's affairs put in the hands of it's officers.

 The following is an extract iron an editorial communication writer from Little R ok to the Helen; World:
 Every citizen who has the advance ment and the prosperity of the com munlty at heart must witness with pride tue unprecepented strides O the gentlemen of the Fort Smith railroad, in behalf of immigration and the development of the broad and natural resources of our State within the past three years more than Sl50,000 has been expended by this road to advertise, to represent to the outside world what Arkansas is and what she offers to immigrants A little more than year ago the fruits of this policy began to be ob. served, and to day thousands of hon est and energetic farmers from the older States, and from Europe, situa- ted in the counties of Conway, Faulk- her, Erauklin, Crawford, Logan, Sc. bastian, etc, tell with no unmistak akle seuGd of the wisdom and the expedleney of the investment. To Col W, n, Slack, the wide awake Land Commissioner of this road is due, no common pase for the sue |ress that have come by this means. His clear and spirited way of doing things, is tust what the case long re- lquifsd, hhd ite consequences are to be witnessed wherever the country has gone forward upod the line of his road. It is hot difficult to imagine what the effects of a general railroad system would be after the system of tho Little Rock and Fort Smith. Let us have liberal status affecting Railroads, and a certain consequence of the same will lie more of the spir, 1t that cEaracterlzes this great road, Distributed throughout the State pore Stacks, more of prosperity, bore of happiness.

THE YELLOW LEAF

What significance this brings to the heart of man. An, yes! the thoughts that cluster around the idea of "yellow leaf," are full of pathos and meaning
 They speak in tones not easily mis- understood, that although they in spring and summer time, fluttered to the breeze when fresh and green, that now during the fall season, they are assuming their winter garb of death, and will soon fall to the earth and be forgotten.
 An, what sad thought! Thousands of females are this day passing through the yellow leaf stage prematurely They are rapidly closing their lives of usefulness by refusing to rescue them selves when so potent and reliable reuI- ely is at hand as the English Female Bitters, the great female regulator of the day.
