WASHINGTON, December 1O,-The
Senate to-day adopted the joint reso.
luton Of the House, providing for
adjournment over the holidays on the
18th inst. An attempt will be made
to pass the pensions and Qualifications
appropriations before the holidays.
Both of these bills have been prepared
by sub-committees and will be submit
ted to the full Committee on Appro-
priations tomorrow. Speaker Randall,
who is pressing the Appropriations
Committee to carry forward its work
as speedily as possible, wishes both
bills to be brought into the House and
passed tomorrow. As it will be i'm
possible to have the bills printed to-
morrow, it is doubtful whether they
will be considered. Friday is private
bill day, and the House will adjourn
over Saturday: consequently the appro-
priation bills may not come up until
next week. The Qualifications appro-
priations bill is S100, 900 more than
last year, owing to the purchase of
some big guns.

Captain Hicks, the contractor, has

ply of iron has already been shipped
from Indiana. No doubt now but
that this road viii soon be completed

Russellville Democrat We learn
from a responsible correspondent at
Harrison that a movement is on foot
among the merchants of Harrison,
Belle Fonte and Double Springs to
start a train of two hundred wagons
loaded with cotton to this place. 1t
is the intention of the movement to
make.this a test, TO see whether it will
pay to change their business from
Springfield to this direction.
Mr.. E. c. Hughes reports from his
section of the country, which is over
on st. Francis river, that there is yet
in the fields a great deal of cotton,
and the farmers are paying one dollar
per hundred to cotton piekers. A
dollar is rather steep, yet it is better
to pay it rather than have the cotton
in the field go to waste. Mr.. Hughes
makes a handsome shipment Of cotton
every eason.-[Marianna Index.
Helena World: 1t will be a source
of no little qualification to the people
of Arkansas to know that the Deaf
Mute Institute, located at Little
Rock, was never in a more hourishing
condition, there being now 40 inmates
OF the institution, a larger number
than at any time in the past five years.
Mr.. H. Q. Hammond is the principal,
and under his management we feel
satisfied the unfortunate ones COM
mitted to his charge will be well cared
for. All deaf mutes of Arkansas are
admitted free, and given the best care
and instruction.
Eureka Springs had a population of
six people last July, and now over
three thousand inhabit the place.
The curative properties of the water
are reported to be wonderful, especial
ly in cases of sore eyes. The place is
s. miles from a railroad, Ozark being
the nearest depot, and is in a very
mountainous rough country. People
are constantly going there. About
five hundred houses are already COM
pleted. The title to the land is not
definite, but people are settling up it
all the same. Fifteen hundred new
lets have just been laid out. The vir-
tues Of the water were discovered by
a DR.. jackson, about twenty years
ago. He kept his secret and used the
water in his practice until last June,
when Judge Thompson, of Perryville,
who having tried numerous medical
treatments for a chronic disease, was
advised by DR.. jackson to visit these
springs, which he did and was cured.
He was made so happy by the result,
that he spoke of it to everyone he
met, and from that time people have
been hocking there.
