Ozark, August 4.


 The Cincinnati Commercial has this to say relative to the new re- publican paper which rumor has said would soon be started at Little Rock:
 The Republican Publishing Com pany issue prospectus for first class daily newspaper," to be issued on and after the 1st of September next, at Little Rock, and in politics "stalwart." It is to have cores pondents in every county in the State, and publish all the news. IL proposes to make Arkaasas one of the foremost States of the Union, and 70 that end
 "Win truthfully and fearlessly ex- pose the shams, the tricks, the crimes of the Democracy since it assumed power in the State. We shall speak by the card, and always in such manner as to defy contradiction, whether our statement relates to the suppression of personal liberty, the destruction of private rights, the murders or violence enacted to se- cure political supremacy, to the de- falcations, bribery and corruption that have attended the official career Of the Democratic office holders, from the highest to the lowest in this State or elsewhere.
 "We propose to enlghten the peo- pie osthis State, and of all the States, upon the subject of home rule in Arkansas. We shall unsparingly expose the vicious methods, the frauds, intimidation, violence and revolution by which the Democracy secured control in Arkansas and throughout the south, believing that when these maneuvers, covered as they are with slime and infamy, are fully exposed, the honest, fair-mind- ed people of the south wIll repudiate with scorn and loathing the men and the party who have perpetrated them"
 It is understood that ex Senator Dorsey is b provide the brains and shot-guns necessary to attend to this business. Times in Arkansas will be made lively. The chief center of news Tn the State we should say would be the office of the Republican. It should be issued from a block house, and few responsible editors engaged to sit around with their harness oD to wait on folks calling on particular private business.

A NOBLE ORDER-K. OF H.

A special dispatch to the daily Ga zette, speaking of the work of chari- ty done by the various secret benev- olent organizations in Memphis, says:
 The various secret organizations are working nobtY at the present time, and have done so since the advent of the epidemic. Foremost among these organizations stands the Knights Of Honor. Last year this order paid out to the widows and orphans of its members, who had died during the epidemic in this city, nearly S25O,000, which sum was made up by assessments on It's mem bers throughout the whole country. The present epidemic is again put ting them to the test; but, from the way they have been managing things they are equal to this or any other emergency. They have q well or ganized board of relief which is care fully watched over by the supreme lodge. All the money necessary to their relief is promptly given, and q watchful eye IS ever kept over them. They watch over and alleviate the sufierings of their sick; they let then, want for nothirg. The relief board is composed of their best and most reliable members, ofIlcered by James B. Cook, president; w. I. Berlin, vice president. W. B. Gles- son, secretary, and D. r. Goodyear, treasurer. The board, at present, are not appealing to the various lodges, but all their needs are sup pliea hy the supreme lodge.

MORE VIOLENCE IN SCOTT
 COUNTY.

Scott county is, Ye presume, just like all other counties h the State so far as her timber, water courses, soil, &c., &c., are concerned; she is a good county. So much the greater is the shame that there is something wrong with the people up there something which gives them an in suitable desire to spill blood, and tAas to keep tale cf violence and murder in Arkansas all the time fresh before the public. The latest deed of blood up there happened on Saturday, the 18th inst, when Sher- if Samuel Leming was shot and killed by Walter Malone, and Malone in turn was shot and mortaliy wounded by some parties who an- dertook to arrest him.
 Malone had been abusing his wife and the Sheriff interfered. His in terference cost him hIs life. Malone resisted arrest and was mortalIy wounded h the struggle
 Do the people of Scctt county real ize the evil they are doing them selves and the whole State by con tinually furnishing these tales of vio lence and blood to the public2
 It must be stopped. Something must be done to put 8 curb upon deeds of violence. Will not the best citizens in that unfortunate county come to the rescue and take the matter in hand? Let it be distinctly understood that law and order will be enforced at any cost, and that lawlessness and violence must cease.

'I Never Saw a More inviting
 Field for all Classes"


 The above is tue opinion of Ar kansas given by an old Kentuekian, who tas been in Texas for the past three years, but has now located at Ozark.
 We find tbls opinion expressed in letter written to the Rural World, of St. Louis; and, to show some of She points of excellency which this correspondent has observed In Ar kansas, which leads him to arrive at such an opinion of our State, we quote from his letter as follows:
 When VIC left Texas last month, the crops were very badly damaged by tho drouth, and people were very much discouraged--a great many were talking of leaving, but could find no buyers to buy theIr farms.
 Here in Arkansas the crops are very fine, especially in this immedi- ate vicinity. Corn and cotton both are good: wheat and oates tolerably good; fruit crop short, but plenty for home use of apples and peaches.
 This is very fine fruit country. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, and all the berry tribe, do well here. And the most remarkable thing is, this section of the State has been overlooked so long, by men hunting good homes. Possessing the finest climate in the world, for both winter and summer. Coed cool spring wa ter in abundance. Land cheap, both improved and unimproved. Good schools and church privileges. Pro ductive soil for corn, cotton and all the cereals and grasses, including the famous blue grass. Good trans portation facilities, both by rail or water (Ft. Smith & Little Rock R. R., or Arkansas 7iyer). And last but not least, it is the healthiest country in the United States.
 1 was raised in Kentucky, but for the last thirty-two years have lived in Kaufman county, Texas, and l have no hesltancy' in saying that to take thls country mean northwes- tern Arkansas) all together, it's fine valley lands and mountain scenery, it's cool spring water, its fruit bearing capacity, as well as vegetable, aud above all it's fire climate and health inspiring atmosphere, and this count r has not superior. One thing I must not forget to mention is Ozark--a quiet village, nestling in the cave of the mountains, on the north bank of the Arkansas rIver- a town of 1900 inhabitants, and not one drinking or whisky shop. This speaks volumes for the morals of this country; and this is a live rail road town, too, and growing and filling up with good substantial business men. Last year there was shipped from this place nearly 10, 900 bales of cotton, besides q great deal of wheat, fruit, wool, beef and other produce. I would say to the poor, honest laboring man, this is good place to come to. Also to the man of means, who wants to raise good cattle or stock of any klnd, this is the place for you. I never saw more inviting field to all clas ses than this.

At the school election on last Saturday, the excitement was high. The democrats carried the day, how ever. The republicans were voting ing tax of mills, which was be- yond the limit and was void, and through error, the democrats voted no tax at all. The result is there will be no fand. Two mills have been levied 70 pay the debt A. ". Burrow received ll9: MT. Barmore 1lS, (democrsts.) II. B. McAllister 47; Green Roberts tcol. 47, (repub icans, )-Morrillten State.
 You are mistaken, Bro. Feltus, about the limit Five mills is not beyond the limit, and it would have been vastly to the credit of your town had the democrats joined in with the republicans and voted for q , mills levy. If your town cohsti- tutes what is known under the school law as a separate school district" you are altogether of in electing directors at this time. The law says directors for single school dis tries shall take place on the Sd Sat urday in December.

The Forest City Courier is very justly proud of the vote cast in that town at the School meeting on Satur- day, the 16Lh inst. Out Of l99 votes cast 193 were for Q five mills tax. We don't blame the Courier for boasting. Would that we could make such a showing for Russell vile; but while other towns are ex- ulting over having voted liberal tax for schools we are compelled to have the finger of scorn pointed at us as about the only town in the State which voted down the tax.

In the ncighborhood Of Jerusalem is q
pleasant valley, which still bears the name
Of Solomon's Rose Garden, and where, ac-
cording to Mohammedan myth, COM
pact was made between the Wise Man and
the Genii of the Morning Land, which
was writ, not in blood, like the bond be-
tween Faust and Mephistopheles, nor in
gall like our modern treaties, but with saf-
from aud rose-water upon the petals of
white roses. In Paris, in the sixteenth
century, an edict was issued requiring all
Jews to wear rose on their breasts, as
distinguishing mark. In the Catholic
Tyrol, in the present day, betrOthed swains
are expected TO carry a rose during the
period Of their betroth1l, as warming to
young maidens Of their engaged state.
Roses have played, and still play an i'm
portant part In popular usages in many
other parts of the world. la Germany,
young girls deck their hair with white
roses for their confirmation, their entrance
into the world, and when, at the end Of
life's career, the aged grandmother departs
to her eternal rest, a last gift, in the shape
Of rose. garland, is laid upon her bier.

Adultsration Of Coffee with Date Seed.


Coffee drinkers will read with interest
some observations made by the principal
Of the Inland Revenue Laboratory, in his
annual report just priated, relative to an
ingenious method Of adulterating that ar
ticle which has lately been discovered.
Owing to the ease with which roasted veg
ctable matter can be prepared so as to look
like coffee, substitutes for, or adalteration
Of il, are frequent
The substance most recently detected as
an adulterant is date stones, which, after
being roasted aud ground, form such an
imitation Of coffee as would, when mixed
with the genuine article, readily deceive
the consumer. The early detection and
suppression of this mode Of adulteration
were effected by the inland revenue au-
thorities at Somerset House, in conse-
quence Of information sent by supervisor
at Liverpool that many tons OF date stones,
a refuse from the manufacture Of spirits at
one Of the distilleries there, and which had
up to that time been considered useless,
were being bought bya foreign gentleman
to be shipped TO Manchester, and believed
to be intended as an adulteration Of coffee.
The inquiry made led to the discovery
that a mandatory had been started in
Manchester for the preparation of"Melilo-
tine Coffee compound in about equal
proportions Of coffee, chicOry and date
stones. A seizure has since been made
there Of about seven tons Of "Melilotine
coifee" and Of the prepared date stones.
The mandatory had barely got into work
ing order and very little Of the .'Melilotine
coffee had been sent into consumption.
