The: editorial fraternity have all got home from the big excursion, planned and successfully carried out by the big hearted Donan. And, in this connection we must congratu- late Col. Donan upon the happy re- suit of his onerous undertaking. Few men would have undertaken such Q task unassisted and alone; and still fewer would have put it through so successfully as did Col. Donan. We are glad to know that Col. Donan is satisfied, and even happy, over the way all things went of. In q private letter just received from him, he says "Our excursion is over.-3000 miles through many of the most beautiful and famous scenes upon the globe! Grand receptions and entertainments everywhere, and delightful trip al- together, without one unpleasant in- cident to mar it's agreeableness. No misbehavior, nobody tight, no loud talking, : no disagreements. and a good record made for Arkansas wherever we went" We must thank our good friend for kind expressions of regret that VIC were not of the party,

HAYES DID TT WITH HIS
 LITTLE VETO.

United States District Attorney, Wm. II. II. Clayton, of the Western District of Arkansas, under date of July 10th, 1879, has issued the fol. lowing notice:
 "No action will be taken in any criminal case at the August term of the United States Court for the Wes- tern District of Arkansas. Parties and witnesses in such cases will not be required to attend until Nov. Sd, 1S79."
 And thereupon, Bro. Dell, of tEe New Era raises howl of rage at the Democrats in Congress, and heaps bitter imprecations upon their heads.
 You should remember Bro. Dell, that the Democrats passed m ap- propriation bill providing $600,000 for the payment of all legitimate fees and expenses of Marshals, and that Mir. Hayes is the gentleman at whose door you should lay the blame.
 MT. Hayes did it with his little veto, Brother Dell; cuss him.

-TRIPLErs.-As short time ago Mir. James Logan was the happy hus- band of fond wife and the doting father of three children. But pres to, change! now he is the proud father of six children, his wife hay ing just presented him with triplets three bouncing girls, two five pounders and one four pounder.

LET LIP ON THE LIVER.

Mir. Editor, 'tis wonder that so many men and women escape the effects of tampering with their lives. Man kind seems to have gone crazy on the subject of the liver, and every little popping-jay is thrusting out something something ''for the liver" The stom- ach is crammed full of senna and sich, called liver medicines. What on earth is the matter with the liver all at once ? Why, few years ago some people did't know they had liver, and now they can almost tell which side it is on. Who says the liver is at fault when your head aches, or when you are dys- peptic. or constipated? l don't believe a word of it. The bowels must be opened before the bile can possibly get out, and that is all that is necessary. Let your liver alone, there is nothing the matter with It. Now let me tell you an infalible remedy for all such conditions. Take few doses of Bai- ley's Saline Aperient, it will open your bowels, unlock the liver and cleanse the stomach.

oUR CoMMON sCHooLs.

Our common schools arc doing D good work in Arkansas. Let the friends of the cause not despond. Let new energy and increased efforts be put into the work. And let the common people rally to a hearty CO., operation with those who are en- deavoring to build up our pubic school interests. One great cause of the slothfulness and want of good management, and the consequent poverty and hard life of portion of our people, is their inability to read, to think and to plan for themselves. Their efforts are misdirected. They work hard enough, but for want of intelligent direction of their efforts, their labor merely sufiices to make Q bare living, and nothing is saved and laid up for Ia rainy day" It would be quite different If every man and woman in the State could read and write. Then they would take good papers, and by reading them would get the benefit of the experience oi others, and therein would learn bet, ter theories and methods of direct ing their efforts. They would keep posted upon thousands of matters intimately connected with their best interests. They would do more thinking and thereby keep out oi many blunders. There are too many of our adult population who can not read and write. Our pubic schools will remedy this evil. In twenty years from now the proportion of our adult population who cannot then read and write will be reduced eight
 ty per cent. from what it is now
 We will then find that VIC will have Ire thrifty, shifty and prosperous people. There will be fewer drones in the hive. There will be fewer paupers. Fewer farms will be mort gagged. Fewer quacks at medicine shysters at law, tricksters in trade and charlatans in all other positions will be able to humbug the people out of living. Every man will then read, write and think for himself. l, will be sorrowful day for men ol the FRAUD stamp, but joyful day for the honest, worthy toiler. This Is the work our common schools arc doing, and if they accomplish nc more than to make every boy and glrl in our State good readers, they will have conferred q great good up on the State and the people.

The Views of Arkansas Editor

The Views of Arkansas Editors. Correspondence Globe-Democrat. LITTLE BocK, June 30. An effort has been made by a Globe Democrat representative to ascertain the leaning of the members of the Arkansas Press Association, who are naturally looked upon as formulators of public opinion, in the presidential contest of 1880, but said effort has not met with success mer- ited by well directed industry, principally because your Correspon- dent expected to meet full delega- tion of sad press members Tn the editorial excursion party which will visit your city today, and which expectation resulted in a dissap- pointment.
 The following named papers are all either strongly committed for Tilden, or apparently would willing ly support him as the most available candidate: Arkansas Democrat, Forrest City Courier, Prairie County Appeal, Woodruff Vidette, Monticel- lonian, Van Buren Press, Russellville Democrat, Fort Smith Herald, Tex arkana Democrat, Osceola Times, Batesviile Guard, Logan County Enterprise, Texarkana Visitor and Ashley Times. The Gazette, Des Arc Citizen, Clarendon Sun, Hot Springs Sentinel, Fayetteville Democrat,lAtki News, Ozark Democrat, Spirit of Arkansas, and Lonoke Democrat are for Hen. dricks.
 Some four or five papers only have expressed q preference for Thurman. Fifteen or twenty have expressed no decided preference, among them some of the best papers of the State, viz: The Camden Beacon, Fayette. vile Sentinel, Fl Dorado Eagle, Harrison Times, Helena World, White County Beacon, Columbia Banner, Wittsburg Chronicle, Arkan- sas County Democrat, Arkansas Ira. veler, Western Immigrant, Hunts vile Record, Hampstead Record. These would be divided in their choice between Tilden, Hendricks and Thurman.
 The papers having the largest cir culation in the state are the Arkan- sas Democrat, Arkansas Gazette, In dependent Arkansian, Camden Bea con, Van Buren Press, Forrest City Courier, Prairie County Appeal, Fayetteville: Sentinel, Russellvllle Democrat. Southern Standard, Tex arkana Democrat, White County Record, Pine Bluff Press, Arkansas Traveller, Fort Smith Independent. Prescott Dispatch and Lonoke Democrat.
 The Saline County Digest is the only paper expressing q preference for Ewing.

Little Rock is right Tn holding down the quarantine. The public safety is above all mere business considerations. Little Rock and the quarantine points on the Memphis road, and on the northern division of the Iron Mountain road, are the gateways through which the fever will enter Arkansas if it comes at all-therefore watch those gateways and keep them closed.

 1 see in your last issue an article from "Thirty-fve," stating that one entire County Site is lost, strayed or stolen, including some of the county officials. He wants some informa- tion as to their whereabouts. l can inform him that the County Site strayed off down the railroad on the 20th June and was taken up and posted by the citizens ofAtkins, and valued at 5000. As to the county officials, we have no tidings; if there is any of them missing, perhaps they went i1 pursuit of the County Site, and have lost track of it, and got in some of them big lakes down on Gala Creek and the mosquitoes have eat 'em up. "Thlrty must not look for that big town clock to make it's appearance on top of the Court house so soon; can't have so many good things all at once. They have Bell there that rattles the first Thursday in every week; per haps it can be used as substitute to let his Honor know when high twelve comes.
 The 3d quarterly conference for the Russellville circuit NJ. E. Church south convened at this place on the 18th inst. at o'clock p. m., Rev. W. J. Dodson presiding, and Rev. w. H. Corley P. c. It was discouraging to see how few of the official mem bers were present; out of about 30 names that were called only about 9 answered present. We noticed a good many delinquents from your town. Sunday the meeting was largely attended. Rev. Dodson preached a very able sermon; at night Rev. Corley preached, and be- ing somewhat encouraged at the prospect of accomplishing some good, and who is ever willing and ready with his rndefatigable zeal to labor tor the salvation of souls, con- cluded to protract the meeting a day or two longer. We trust there will be much good accomplished before the meeting closes. Yours, &c.,

NATURE, THE ALcHEMIsT.

God carves his thoughts in the tower- ing mag gaiiicence and awful grandeur of the granite hills and mountains. im- pressing the beholder with the great ness of the original. But in yon glade meath the mountain side where glides the gurgling crystal stream, God has painted modest thought in the inher- ent action of diminutiYe shrub which peeps into, life, as "Two dew drops on the petal shake," but to be crushed by the unheeding tread of the tourist view ing the rugged grandeur. This little flowret has fulfilled its mission in fur nishing ingredients for Days Ague Tonic, natures unfailing remedy for all forms of chills and fever. Thousands of the cured now pray that these tend- rils may hide 80 deep in the wildwood that no protane eye may gaze, or molest their modesty, or rude hand pluck their value.
