Predictions About 1880.

In pamphlet recently published by the author, Prof. Gimmer asserts
 "trom 1880 to 1887, will be a uni versal carnival of death. Asia will be depopulated; Europe nearly so. America will lose l5,000,0o0 people. Besides plaques. we are to have storms and tidal waves; mountains are to toss their heads through the choicest valleys; navigators will be lost by the thousands, owing to the "capricious deiextures of the nee dle," and islands will appear and dis, appear in mid.ocean. All the beasts, birds and fishes will be diseased ; famine and human strife will destroy most of the human beings left alive by plague, and finally two years of fire-from 1885 to 1SS7-will rage with fury, in every part of the globe. In 1887 the "Star of Bethlehem will reappesr in Cassiapia's chair" the immediate results being universal war, and portentious floods and ship wrecks. North America is again to be involved in ciyIl war. "unless a Napoleon arises to quell it." The few people that may manage to survive until 1887, will have reason to be thankful.

Causes of Sickness.

Among the many causes of sick ness an exchange mentions the fol. lowing;
 Eating too much and too fast; swallow imperfectly masticated food by taking too much fluid at meals drinking poisonous whisky and oth CT intoxicating drinks; keeping late hours at night, and sleeping too late in the morning; wearing clothes too tight, so as to relax the circulation wearing thin shoes; neglecting to take sufficient exercise to keep the hande and feet warm; neglectlDg to wash the body sufficiently to keep the pores open; exchanging the warm clothes worn in q warm room during the day for costumes and ex- posture so incident to evening par ties; starving the stomach to gratify vain and foolish passion for dress keeping up constant excitement fretting the mind with borrowed troubles; s.allowing quack nostrums for every imaginary ill; taking meals at irregular intervals.

The Facts in The Case.

Those whose stock of wisdom con- sists in the coarse, familiar outcry that we "don't want coward who was elected President and hadn't the pluck to take the office," might be dispellcd with silent scorn, but there is reverse ard positive side to their silly clamor, Illuminating a real danger in our path.
 The Democratic party can only fail to nominate Tilden for cause and the only cause which will be as- signed, or generally accepted, must embrace dissatisfaction with some act or omission on hls part after his election. To say truth, the only dissatisfaction which has ever been expressed relates to his failure to be seated. As we do not live in Mexi co, where a mans simple belief of his election is regarded as good enough excuse for revolution, but under a Constitution which pre- scribes methods for the induction of successful candidates to office, those who complain of Mir. Tilden's failure to perpetrate some movement or de- vice unknown to the organic law, or unrecognized by it, are bound to own that they were willing to pre- cipitate the country into anarchy and confusion. and that they are an gry at Mir. Tilden, because he refused to propose or to countenance such an attempt. If he is set aside, there fore, the Democratic party must put itself upon this inevitable, logical alignment, accepting all the conse- quences. It must go to the country as the party of strife. It must de- fend its sacrifice of a man whose sole fault was his refusal to lead a hopeless civil war,
 And how shall it defend itself? It was It's own inadequacy, not the cowardice of Mir. Tilden, winch brought his exclusion. Not at Grammercy Park, but at Washing ton, was the job of buccaneering on the one side, of vacillation and sur render on the other side, accomplish ed. Even had NIT. Tilden wished to lead an unorganlzed, unequipped. unassembled army of unpaid molly coddles upon the White House, his party failed to supply him the pre- text Whilst he was carefully pre- pairing for a constitutional battle in the House--a peace battle against

 THE EUREKA SPRINGS.

The Harrison Times has this to say of these celebrated Carroll County Springs:
 We have visited the celebrated Eureka Springs of this county, and can justly say was surprised-not at the healing qualities of the water, as it appears very ordinary-but by the number of people, houses, tents, ett., which we seen. The spring is some twelve miles northwest of Der ryville, in 8 range of mountains which seem to be of no value for anything else. The road to the spring is nearly impossible for wag. ons, though they do manage to get there some how or other. Soon af. ter our arrival the weekly census was completed, and the town found to have a population of 960 persons, besides :the transient visitors; Sd houses, l36 tents, 1 stores, &c. The inhabitants all seem to be of a bet ter class than usually make up new towns, and they put on an immense amount of style. All with whom VIC got acquainted seem to have great faith in the medicinal virtues of the waters.

THE FISHBACK RESOLU
 TION.

We understand that the railroad aid" "Holford" and "levee" bonds are still quoted on the New York market, and that Col. Fishback has received a number of letters from different parts of the state to the effect that certain leading politicians will oppose the Fishback resolution" !" or the constitutional amendment for bidding the pay ment ofthese bonds. The governor says he is opposed to this method of settling our state debt, and refused to sign the amend ment as passed by the last legisla- ture. So it would seem that we are to have 8 fight On this question after all.
 On reading the above article in the Fort Smith Independent, we inquired at the executive office for the facts in regard to the status of the Fishback resolutions, submitting an amendment to the state constitu- tion in regard to the bonded indebt- edness of the state. We were inform ed by Gov. Miller that the resolu- ,ioBs did not require his signature to make them effective, but that they are on file in the secretary of state $ office, and will be published for six months next preceding the election in every county in the state, and if a majority of the people vote for them they will be declared part of the constitution by proclamation of the governor. The publication will commence next March, and will be continued until the election in Sep tember. We do not believe there will be any serious opposition to their adoption by the people. e.-Gazette.
 The iniquity of these bonds is well known, and we have not the slight est doubt as to the adoption of the ueAdmcAt to prohibit tAe.1 pay meat.

THE TILDEN BOOM.

"We think Samuel j. Tilden is much the strongest man in the party, and he can successfully carry US through, and if he accepts the plat form which the Democracy lays be- fore him, and in good faith agrees to stand by it during his adninistra- tion, we have nothing to fear; but let us, if possible, by all our regard for the interests of the masses and to do the greatest good to the great est number, let us all Tn the south and west strongly advocate the finan- cial policy and plank in that plat form until the day of the convention, and if we gain our end in making it, and Tilden accepts a nomination under it, we have unbounded conti- dence from his previous career as governor in lessening the taxes of the people and bettering the condi- tion of the poor, he will faithfully enforce It.
 "We think the success of the par ty is more likely to be attained by the nomination of Tilden; but unless his platform is that of the western Democracy, his success may not be so well for the people. Hancock, personally, is our choice; but we do not intend to press the claims of any one to such an extent that it would be inconsistent to advocate the nom inee, whoever he may be-"
 Almost every week some one of our State exchanges which has been holding aloof from the presidential question comes out after mature de- liberation for Tilden-Hon. Samuel J Tilden, of New York, the greatest Governor the great empire State has ever had, and the same man who was elected President in 1876, but who, with magnanimity and self abnegation hardly ever before wit messed, declined to plunge the coun- try into another fratricidal war to procure the office which was usurped by another man.
 The Fort Smith Elevator, a paper of moderate and conservative views is the latest one to join the Tilden boom. From a well tempered arti- cle on the Presidentla! question in the last number of the Elevator we get the above extract.

SETTLED,

The long and muchly contested question of the County Seat matter is at last settled. On last Friday evening his Honor Judge Jacoway in open court made an ortier in de fault of any answer to complaint of petitioners for Dover, to the effect that the first election should be held null and void as prayed by said petitioners. The effect of this is tU leave the County Seat at Dcvef the same as if no election had been held at all. It does not prohibit the voters of the county from again pre- senting a petition to the County Court asking for another election oh the question at any time they may see proper. We do not know tha, any such move will be inaugurated but merely state that such step is not prohibited, to correct an errone. ous idea with many, that it Is.
 We congratulate the friends ot Dover upon the pluck and energy they uave displayed in the matter and upon their success in holding the County Scat.

Judge Kelly on the Situation in
 England.

Representative Wm. D. Kelly, in a letter to the Philadelphia Times on the depressed industries of Eng land, says.
 My impression IS that the throne of England was never more firmly seated in the affection of the people, and that, apart from other favoring considerations, the influences which are sometimes supposed to control legislatures in the election of United States Senators have done much to confirm the faith of the people in an hereditary peerage. Nor is the bankruptcy of the British islands impending. England is the worlds creditor Every nation is in debt to her, and there Is no field for the in vestment of her accumulated capital as is shown by the fact that, though money may be borrowed in London al less than one per centum peI annum, the bank now holds more gold than it ever held before. Her losses will be incalculable, but no, ruinous, as those which debtor na tions are suffering from the same world wide cause. As creditor, she loses by the failure of individuals, corporations and States the world over. But while ruin overtakes them, what happens to her is but q reduction of surplus capital so rela lively slight as to leave her the means with which to buy in, at hel own price, the assets, of her debtors and to hold them until the repeal oI unwholesome laws shall restore the value they possessed before the vol ume of the worlds metallic money was arbitrarily reduced"

-STRAws TELL, &c.-Here is Q straw which we pick up in glancing over the columns of that old reliable paper, the New York Sun:
 WASHINGTON, Sept. l9.-At din her given last evening by the Wash ington correspondence to one of their corps wno has entered upon new du- ties, about twenty of the leading newspapers of the country were rep resented. Slips of paper were hand ed about the table and the guests were asked to write upon them the names of those whom in their judge ment, would be the candidates of the Democratic and Republican par ties for President in 1880. A decid- ed majority thought that Tilden would be the democratic candidate and that Grant would receive the Republican nomination. Bayard, Hancock, David Davls, sherman, and Blaine were named by few of the correspondents.

the right of the Vice President to count the electoral vote and in favor of the process which had obtained from the first-our leaders were making an extra constitutional agreement ill the secrecy of com mittee room abandoning the line and counsel of the man most immed lately interested, and turning the House of Representatives over to the tender mercies ofa packed electoral tribunal.
 The Electoral Commission thus constrncted became law. It count ed him out, and his competitor in. And what could he do? and wl2n and how could he interfereY
 He did what was most patriotic and most far seeing, what was hero ic in the highest degree; he held his peace with all men; he was silent un der obloquy, misconstruetion, false hood; and this day the country owes its prosperous calm and the Demo cratic party it's united existence to the dignified reserve, and the self denying abstinence of his action then and hts conduct ever since.
 These are the facts of the case. They are unalterablc and they are not to be escaped. Tie nomination of MT. Tildcn is inevitable 1t is that, or ruin yea, worse than ruin, for the democratic party, as party, can as little afford to put itself upon a cifil-war platform as it can afford another capital blunder and another first.class defeat. There is no issue on which Mir. Tiiden ran before, which is not as cogent now. There are additional issues even more in- tense All that was promised at St- Louis, was verified at the ballot box. All that was lost was lost at Wash ington. Under the circumstances, the rejection of MT. Tilden would be a blunder and -a crime; q blunder because, whether we can elect him or not we can not escape the issues that are bound up in his person; . crime becatse wanton injustice is the parent of all crimes.-Courier-Jour. nal.

HOME MANUFACToRrEs.

AAOAsAhA 4th<N-As OA <ANA O&sAA<scs
 Last week nearly one hundred wagons were received at this depot from the north, to be sold by our merchants to farmers throughout the county. Two or three weeks ago we were shown a wagon built In this place by home workmen, from homegrown timber, which for dura- biiity and finish can not be equaled by any gagon put of at this depot this season. The cost of building this wagon is twenty per cent. less than is asked fof those highly paint ed yankee wagons, large amount of paint being required to hide the many defects. Now, while wagons can be manufactured at home better and cheaper than they can De lad from abroad, why is it our merchants continue to send money that should remain at home, out of the country to nay for wagons of m inferior makel If the merchants and other business men of the town would take stock in a wagon. factory equal to the amount they send of every year to pay for wagons, they would aid in building up an enterprise in our midst that would bring them a good interest on the money invested, besides furnishing steady employ ment for number of hands.-At kins News.
 l
 Our cohtemporary's head is emi- nently level on the subject of home manufactories. We have at fre- quent intervals adverted to this sub ject and urged upon our people the necessity of doing more of our man. ufacturing at home. We have re- monstrated and protested with our people against the folly of sending to foreign manufacturing concerns and paying heavy freights on blows, wagons, furniture, &c., which might just as well be manufactured here at hotne, using the bountiful supply of raw material so convenient at hand, and giving employment to labor here at home.
 The only thing that is necessary to make farming implement facto. Y grand success here is the money to start it with. And if our mer- chants would, as the News suggests, take stock in factories to the extent of the amount of money annually seut abroad for these goodsj-or if they do not wish to take a stock in- terest h them, if they would just agree with some reliable men who understand what they are about, (say, for instance, Messrs. Settle, Luker & O., of this town) to take from them annually the same amount of wagons, blows, &c,, which they have been sending the cash of north for, we might have booming factu ry here. Why not just as well ad- vance thousand dollars to an es- llshment like this, as to give some kid -gloved agent for some northern factors your order and send your money of where you will never get any further benefit from it. If you would advance it to 8 hcme factory of this kind you would get better goods, you would make just as much profit on the goods handled, and be- sides you would get most of the money paid right back into your stores for supplies, clothing and llv- ing expenses of the workmen. We must begin to manufacture at home if we want to prosper.

Good Advice.

We would warn our readers of the danger of ordering clothing, dry goods, boots and shoes or job print ing from any of the commercial tramps who peddle and sell by satti- pie. You will suffer loss ih nine cases out of ten, and as a general rule you can buy cheaper of your own merchants.-L. K. Democrat.
