The Batcsville ARK Guard Of the
10Th inst. says: Hon. Jacob .Frolich,
our esteemed and worthy Secretary OF
State, has had two life-sized portraits
painted of Maj. Gen. 2. r. Cleburne,
one to be hung in the senate chamber,
the other in the hall Of the house Of
representatives. The paintings were
from a picture Of the General belong
ing to the Pat Cleburnc Fire Company
Of Little Rock. They are not true
pictures of the General. The known
expression of the face, eye and lips
is wanting. No one, unless told
that they represented Pat Cleburne.
could recognize the man. 1t is sup
posed that the last and best likeness
of the General was taken in Mobile in
1864, and is in possession Of a lady OF
that city, to whom Gen. Cleburne was
betrothed. Gen. Govan has promised
to see if he can procure a copy Of the
same, from which Col. Frolich can
have a correct portrait. This act of
Col. Frolieh shows the will of the man
IN trying to save. to the State, the
image Of Arkansas greatest and BRAY
est soldier. The interest shown BY
Col. Frolich will meet the hearty
commentator and approval ofall true
Arkansians who can appreciate that
soldier S merit and worth.

A quiet money market, with an
active business in exchange and a
moderate movement in discounts arc
about the only features in the fnan.
cial line here at present. There is a
fair amount Of surplus capital seeking
investment, but realty will not sell
unless at what is termed great bar
gains, while local stocks and
bonds are regarded with disfavor.
A fair demand prevails for
County warrants, the current rates
being IS to 95c. A light nibbling is
also reporred in gas stock, NJ. & G.
r. r. stock and one or two other Sc
curities, but no transactions worthy Of
mention have transpired.
Exchange is in the midst of a most
active season. Cotton bills on the
last offer freely, and are taken by the
banks at &c discount without grace,
and &c discount if carrying it. New
Orleans bills are lc discount; checks
on the latter point and New York are
sold at par.

Edmund G. Stedman, in scribner's Magazine
During the last thirty years New
York journalism has absorbed much Of
our best talent, and we'll it might. for
it demands the best. No severer test
can be applied to a writer than that of
his ability to furnish leading articles
regularly. More than n who has
succeeded easily as a bookwright or an
e%ssayist, has found his equipment and
power Of composition inadequate to
the off hand production of compact.
polished, well formed leaders. such as
are needed for the editorial pages of
our great newspapers. Journalism is
an art, but under our system it brings
little beyond his weekly stipend
to the sub,journalist. The sti-
pend is sure, and that is a great
deal to n who lives by his
pen. Newspapers thus far have sup
piled the readiest market to a writer.
and the magazines next to them. In
a chapter upon Hood, London's iourn
alist-poet, | have claimed that the task
Of daily writing for the press, while a
good staff, is a poor crutch it difuses
the heat of authorship, checks ideal
