The cultivation of fax for the fiber
in New Jersey has of late received con-
siderable impetus. Previous to 1860 the
largest product of the State in any sim
ole year falls short Of $4,000 pounds;
but the amount of yield has since been
quintupled, although the cultivation of
the staple has been retarded by the ne
cessity of employing, to a large extent,
hand labor in all the processes. 1t IS
stated, however, that machine has re-
Gently been invented to separate the
fiber from the shive, and its per-
formances, examined by a committee of
the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia,
and by some experts from the north of
Ireland, have been pronounced highly
satisfactory.

HELENA, ARK, April lst, 70.
We have had, since my last writ
ing, quite an episode in our city
yea, a real sensation. A sociable
was given by one of our best citl-
zens. Late at night, during storm,
the party dispersed. One of the
fair ones, with her intended, took a
hack for the steam boat landing.
The father of the young lady, being
informed of the movement, in com
pany with a friend, both armed,
started in pursuit. A steamer whis-
ties, and is soon at tha,wharf. The
young couple are waIt,.g anxioqsly
for the arrival otf a s5ntldant, who
has been dispatched for a Squire,
and while looking amid darkness
and fear, thunder and beating hearts
as the storm was terriffic-instead
of a magistrate, the father appears
and presents pistol, and the would
be groom offers in return the same
salutation. The young lady steps
between, saying "Oh! father, don't
kill my husband" The father is
not so easily blinded and moves off
with his daughter. The disappoint-
ed lover advises with friends. Some
advise that an armed force proceed
at once to the father, and demand
possession Of the would-be bride,
but wiser heads vetoed this step.
The next day a lawyer drew up a
marriage contract, the young gen
tleman signed it, and by means of a
spy the young lady'S signature was
obtained. This was then made pub
lie, with the assertion that they
were legally married; but the bride
Gf bride she was yeti was still kept
at her fathers house, Finally writ
Of habeas corpus was issued and
placed in the hands Of the sheriff.
By request Of the bridegroom the
Methodist minister seeks an inter-
view with the enraged father, and
informs him of the writ soon to be
served. He is informed that the
father will not contend against the
writ, and (if they must marry) he
prefers said minister to officiate.
Soon the sheriff, with writ, demands
the daughter, she is given, and the
determined lovers are made one.
The yellow fever is feared and
expected at New Orleans, here and
elsewhere on the Mississippi river,
at even an earlier date than in
former years.
City politics is agitating the peo-
pie here. There are two tickets in
the field, and should the blacks be
united they can carry their wish,
but many Of them have seen the
folly Of listening to carpet baggers,
and are allied with the conservative
element.
The noted colored representative
from this county during Clayton's
tyranny, Rev. White, is now pastor
of the African Baptist church here,
with a magnificent edifce and a
membership of five hundred.

Daily Republican., 1879-08-26

1t is generally believed that Jefferson
Davis asrires to a seat in the United
States Senate. The Democratic and
guerilla press in the North hoot at that
idea precisely as they did, before the
Yazoo affair, at the Republican charges
of intimidation and,r violence in the
South; but there is some reason for
believing it to be true. One of the
present Mississippi Senators is mig.
ger," whose presence in Congress is a
continual aggravation to the proud
Caucasians of the State; and that they
should determine to emphasize their dis
gust by giving the succession to man
who will represent the extreme rebel
feeling is not unnatural. Davis himself
refuses to say whether he is trying to
get the place or not, which may b. con
sidered as in some sense an indication
that he is. The fact that he is laboring
under disabilities is of no consequence
in view of the fact that The Democrats
in Congress can make him eligible
whenever they choose to do so. Thus
the Northern people have a pleasing
prospect that the Yazoo method, which
has stamped out all the Republicanisn
in Mississippi, will be used to restore
Jeff Davis to the chamber in which he
once sat to plot rebellion, and from
which he went out perjured traitor to
make war upon his country.
