Ride Into Little Rock.

Little Rock Gazette. 1Sth.l
Col. Henry Tudor and DR.. Louis H.
Ayme, the men who started from New
York with the intention of riding
horseback to Patagonia, arrived in the
city yesterday afternoon and stopped
at the Capital. Their ROOF presents
a romantically warlike appearance.
Guns, pistols, swords and all kinds of
ingenuity's relies.
The party left New York at mid
night on the 18th of February, arrived
in Philadelphia on the 10th, and have
been coming steadily forward ever
since. They have worn out five horses
since starting, but do not seem fatigued
themselves. The horses undoubtedly
had the hardest time.
There is no wager concerning the
achievement, but the two gentlemen,
having performed all kinds of travel
ing feats, and knowing Of few feats
more difficult than riding to Patago-
mia horseback, determined to make
the expedition. II they fail, all right
If they accomplish it, they are rela-
tiyes of Phiueas Fogg, that's all.
They expect to arrive in Punts
Arenas, Patagonia, within two year,
from the time they left New York
averaging twenty miles per day fol-
six hundred days. The doctor say,
that if the citizens Of this town vii
pay the expenses Of the party Will,
here, and furnish a hall, a free lectur,
will be given.

municated from the Westminster
Presbyterian Church, OF Keokuk,
Iowa, on Sunday, having been tried
and convicted on the charge of heresy.
He had lectured in Keokuk upon
MAN the Architect of our Religion"
In the lecture he spoke of the last
six commandments in the Decalogue
as moral rules always practiced by
mankind. the setting of which in a
form of words was like naming a river
or mountain. He disavowed the
divinity of the Christian religion and
said a number of things that smacked
Of Bob Ingersoll.
