NATURE, THE ALCHEMIsT.

God carves his thoughts in the tower ing magliiieence 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 a modest thought in the inher- ent action of diminutiYe shrub which peeps into, life, as '"rwo dew drops on the petal shake," but to be crushed by the unheeding tread of the tourist view ing the rugged grandeur This little tlowret has fulfilled its mission in fur nishing Ingredients for Days Ague Tonic, natures unfailing remedy for all forms of ehills and fever. Thousands of the cured now pray that these tend- rils may hide SO deep in the wildwood that no profane eye may gaze, or modest their modcsty, or rude hand pluck their value.

The Dardanelle Immigrant is still trying to straighten out our County Seat matter. In its last is- sue it devotes over Q column to the matter, and although it denies that it had, in it's former article which we reviewed two weeks ago, made any statements, the caption to it's own article-"EXplanatory and Corrective, "-shows clearly that our esteemed contemporary felt that he had got ga little off" Why devote so much space to "cXplanation and correction" unless there has been something stated incorrectly? The Immigrants "eXplanation and cor rection" is as "clear as mud" and has made Lis attitude in the case worse than it was before; for our clever contemporary not only gets into new inaccuracles, but he shows very plainly that his feelings are altogether one sided in the matter.
 It is only necessary to quote one sentence from Bro, Davis long tex. rlanatory and corrective" article to show how badly mixed he has got on this matter. Ho says:
 "Thc Supreme Court it will be TO mcmbcrcd, had awarded prohibit ton against Judge Jacoway upon the sole ground that the County Court had exclusive jurisdiction thus far"
 Now, up to this time Judge Jaco. way had had nothing whatever to do with the case, and it was Judge Pounds action that was reviewed by the supreme Court, and 1t was against nIs oraer in tho caaso that

THE INDIAN COUNTRY.

The following bearing upon the Indian question is from one of our contemporaries which is we'll posted upon Indian afairs-the Fort Smith Elevator:
 It will be observed that the depu- ty marshals will not be paid any fees forservices rendered until an appropriation IS made by Congress.
 Taking the reports of the papers and the general idea, prevalent, as a criterion, one would suppose that if the nations of the five tribes west of Arkansas were left exposed to the world and without the presence oi the United States marshals, that great and stupendous crimes would be committed, and that that country would return to barbarism and the people pass away as did the Kilken- nv cats. But this is mistaken idea; the parties that delight in the violation of the law in the nations arc generally white men of the ba- ser sort, and they fear the future Legislation and punishment, and will therefore commit no more de- predations than they would have done had the law not affected the pay of the deputies.
 AS to the Indians, it left alone, no white men among them. they would govern themselves without the. .assis- tance of the marshals or any expense to the government. Many cases are worked up, as we understand, by de signing men, against the Indians and the poor colored people that reside with them, and they are brought here for trial, often times taking the last cent and all the pro perty they possess to pay their ex- penses to and from the court.
 We predict that the nations will get along about as usual if the Congress does not make the appro- priation for the next year, except it be in some particular cases insti- gated by white men. But should the presence of the marshals be thought necessary, we have not q doubt a5ou ttheir going, as we learn provision has been made for all "soft cases" that sometimes occur in the territory. Offenders of the law should take due notice.-Fort Smith Elevator.

The examination of the seduc, tion case, before Justice McGaugb- cy, occupied four days. The defen, daut was bound over, his bond put at 5000, and upon failing to give it, was rcmandcd to jail. The attor. neys for the defendant obtained q writ of habcas corpus yesterday, and he will be tried before County Judge Cope to day. Prejudice is running high in Ozark against the defendant and we suggest that our people do not permit themselves Co become unduly excited, Let there be fair and impartial trial. Let justice he done all around.-Ozark Democrat.

NATURES EXHIBITION.
And the Prices the Public Pay
 for Admission.

Niagara Falls is the grandest cat aract in the world. Half of it be- longs to the United States, yet it is not possible for an American citizen even to look at the falls unless he pays at least twenty-five cents. Watkins Glen, New York, is won derful chasm, wild and picturesque, but the free American citizen must pay fifty cents to enter it. It is hard to fence in Mount Washington, and it has not been accomplished, but as the fares are much higher than the mountain the free Ameri- can citizen may think he can save money by walking to the top. He is mistaken. Ho will have to pay eighty cents toll to walk up. The Au Sable chasm is gloomy and grand, but il costs the free American citizen fifty cents to sec it. The Hume at Franconia Notch is worth seeing seventy five cents worth. The whirl- pool at Niagara is sad and sombre. at least it makes the free American citizen feel so when he goes there with party of ladies--lfty cents each. The Falls of Montmorency are romantic, historical and beauti- ful-twenty-iiye cents admission and fifty cents toll. And thus it goes. If the American speeulator could on ly erect wall around the seacoast so that no one could sec tho ocean without paying one dollar, it is quite likely the free American would go to sec it without a murmer, and take the children if they were allowed to go for half fare.-Detroit Free Press.

the Supreme Court issued 2 prohibi- tion.
 But it is the latter statement in the above quotation which gets usj and being dull at ethical construc- tion," we would like our contempora. rt to tell us what he means when he says that the Supreme Court at the time it issued the order of prohibi- tion against Judge Pounds, took the ground that the County Court had exclusive Jurisdiction thus far" We were not aware that the Supreme Court had ever touched upon the matter of jurisdiction, further than to sny that the Circuit Court had not the Jurisdiction to do what Judge Pounds assumed to do. That is all that 1t DID decide, and right there it stopped short off and utterly failed to say where Jurisdiction did lie, al though counsel for Dover petition CTS urged upon the Court the legal proposition that the County Court had no jurisdiction.
 In response to that proposition, urged by counsel of petitioners, who contended that as matter of law it followed that if the County Court had not been given jurisdiction by the Legislature, (which was admit ted by both parties) then the returns of the election offlcers.w would be con clusive,-in response to this propo- sition the Supreme Court in their opinion says:
 1t is said the Legislature has "made no provision tor contest of "the election before the County "Court:-to this we reply, WITHOUT EXPRESSING AN OPINION AS TO THE "CoNcLUsIvENEss OF THE RETURNS, so neither has there been any mode provided for q contest before the "Circuit Court"
 So it appears very clearly to our mind that the Court only decided that the Circuit Court had no juris- dictlon, though it was the duty of the Cour. to have decided every material point made before them in the case.
 The reasoning of the editor of the Immigrant is very muddy, notwith- standing he is lawyer. This may be accounted for, perhaps, from the fact that he has probably not read the opinion of the Court. Ii the Su preme Court had decided, when it issued tho order of prohibition, that the County Court had jurisdiction in the case, i. would have super ceded the necessity for all the pro lorged delay and subsequent action at law which was taken; for our County Court would certainly not have disregarded the opinion of the Supreme Court.
 We guess our good friend of the Immigrant will have to try his hand on the explanatory and corrective" again.

-Buford, Judge Elliotfs slayer has been found guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to imprisonment at hard labor in the State penitentiary for life. The next move will be to get mp peti- tion for executive clcmchcy in his case, and fools enough will sign it to secure his pardon. Such, at least, has got to be the ordinary way in which cold blooded murder is pun. ished by our American people.

 --"Should the yellow fever become very infectious in Memphis, it is possible, yes, even probable, that Little Rock will be cursed with Q few cases. In that event don't hem it's people in and cause an epidemic. Glve them q week to scatter over our mountains, where they will be safe. For Gods sake don't become crazed, and in an insane and cow ardly desire to protect yourselves cause death and desolation without limit in your now prosperous capital. Let others do as they may, we trust that our Mayor will never quaran- tine against Little Rock, without giving its women and children an opportunity to escape to the noun teins hereabout,"
 The above is from the Clarksville Herald, and is, we know, prompted by feeling of true humanity. We do not believe Little Rock is going to be afflicted with the great plague. The city authorities there and the Board of health arc working in har- mony and putting forth every meas ure to prevent the infection of that place. While, however, it is not probable that our fair State capital will be visited by the scourge, it is not impossible; and In case it should be, it will then be serious question what the towns up this road should do. The sentiment expressed by our worthy contemporary is, as we said, very humanitarian, but self protection, it must be remembered, is the first law of nature, and if the worst should come to the worst, we do not think there would be many to take the view advanced by the Her aid. Little Rock is not large city and we believe by the proper man. agement and the speedy removal of cases which might appear to hos pitals outside of the city the spread of the dreadful disease among the inhabitants might be prevented; and unless it should be found that the fever were going to prevail as an epigemic, the necessity of Q stam pede, which would carry consterna- tion and dismay into all the towns on routes leading out from Little Rock, would be avoided. We would not, should it be seen that the cpl demic gets hold on Little Rock, pen up the inhabitants of that place and confine them there to be devoured without mercy by the destroyer; but there is plenty of room for them to scatter out and get away from th c disease without flooklng to other towns to carry death and contagion to them. We have little fears that there yillrso any fever in Arkansas, but as Q Precautionary step we think the proper thing would be for the towns on this road to organize their boards of health and be getting ready to act if necessity should re- quire it. In the meantime the health authorities could, and should, make frequent inspections of then towns and see that they are put and kept in the best sanitary condition. There should be thorough cleaning up. No disease breeding causes should be allowed to exist. Our people should live in cleanliness, in moderation and in prudence. Ev- thing should be done to prevent the development as we'll as the importa, ton of disease.

A Railroad Of Tunnels and Bridges

! Besides the big tunnel there are L.
Others, the shortest of which, Warren, is
! l,lO6 yards long, while the long.
est, the Oldberg, reaches 2,027
yards. The total length of these
579 metres. Then there are five tunnels
between 22O and $50, and Is between ll0
and 220 yards, making in all 50 subsi-
diary tunnels, of an aggregate length OF
1G miles. Between Immense and
Goschenen there will be 80 tunnels;
between Airolo and Giubiasco, II. The
highest part of the line above sea-leVel
; is the big tunnel, 3,307 feet; the lowest,
; a point between Cadenazzo and Magadi-
no, 675 feet. The line will carried over
81 bridges and viaducts, the longest Of
which, that Of CaGennazzo, in Tessin,
will consist of five arches, each having a
span of IS yards. The total length Of
the Gothard line will be 151 miles, II
per cent. Of it being tunnels and i per
cent. bridges and viaducts. In the first
instance the line, for the greater part of
its length, will be single, but the tunnels
and permanent way are to be so arranged
that additional rails can be laid down 80
soon as the financial success OF the enter
prise seems to be assured. If all goes
we'll, the entire length of road will be in
running order in from four to five
years. Contract for the stretch between
Brunnen and Flullen has just been adj
judged to a French firm, Reveillac 4
Bardal, of Tarbes, who have agreed TO
take payment to the extent of 100000
