THE MOST encouraging reports reach
us of the iron trade not only in this
state but in New Jersey. Furnaces that
have been cold since 1873 have started
up again, and it has become scarcely
possible to supply the increased demand.
The best thing about these reports of re-
turning prosperity is that they come
from all over the country, showing that
the causes for his revival of trade are
not local but national.

A Night on the Edge Of Destruction.

On Thursday morning Lucinda Gale,
a maiden lady, got lost while burberry
ing on the Sugar Loaf Mountain, in
Alexandria, N. II. After dark she at
tempted to descend the east side of the
mountain, and proceeded down its pre-
cipitous sides till she got to position
from which she could not retreat, and
to go ahead would be instant death on
the rocks 150 feet below. In this peril
GUS position she remained all night, not
daring to sleep for fear of falling from
the ledge. During Friday she succeed
ed in scaling the ledge above, and was
found late in the day nearly insane from
thirst and exhaustion by party in
search for her.

The Riot Bill Cases.

The cases of the commonwealth against
the persons charged with attempting to
secure votes for the riot bill by means of
bribery and corrupt solicitation, continue
to excite much speculation. Twenty
two indictments will be laid before the
next grand jury, which are distributed as
follows:
Chas. B. Salter, o; d. X. Shoemaker,
/; e. j. M'Cune, l G. Long, l.; Jesse
r. Crawford, 4; A. W. Leisenring, .;
w. III. Kemble, 4.
The attorneys for Messrs. Kemble,
Leisenring and Long were Wednesday
morning notified to enter bail before
Alderman Maurer for the appearance of
Messrs. j. G. Bomberger and VIM. Cal
der entered bail for VIM. H. Kemble to
the amount of $500 on each charge.
Bail will be entered for Mr.. Chris.
Long, by ]. ]. Dull, Esq. All of the
indictments will be laid before the grand
jury on Thursday of court week, and in
case true bills are found the committee
decided to proceed with the trials the
next day, unless the defendants move
postponement, when the cases will prob
ably go over to an adjourned court.
Much surmise is indulged in as to where
the money is to come from to pay the
necessarily large fees of the distinguished
counsel engaged for the prosecution.
Many are inclined to believe that the
lawyers have been guaranteed their pay
only in case of the success Of the COM
monwealth in the suits and that then
future legislative appropriation will be
relied on buta Patriot" reporter learn
ed last night from reliable authority
that the legislative committee is able to
command any amount of money re-
quired and that one of the prosecuting
lawyers had stated that he and his
colleagues will be paid by private sub
scriptions.--HarwiSburg Patriot.
sg An interesting case, analogous to
the famous Mollie Mcguire case, is now
on trial at Reading, Pa. A band of
tramps skilled in all the tricks of out
lawry have for long time been preying
on the people of Berks, hesitating at no
obstacle to accomplish their designs,
and directing their efforts against any
point that promised harvest, irrespect-
i've of the nature of the goods. Ticket
offices have been broken into, stores
have been robbed, farmers plundered
and countless other offences, many Of a
desperate character, committed, which
the detectives managing the case, think
they can prove against this gang. The
method of procedure in making the
arrests is not unlike that adopted in the
shocking cases above cited The detec-
tives sometime since made the acquaint-
ance of a young German connected with
the gang and who ''peached'' on them t;

mingled with the outlaws, with such
success as to have effected their arrest
They are all intelligent men, many Of

A SPLENDID FIELD FOR MEMPHIS
ENTERPRISE.

Memphis is cut off and hanked in
some directions by lines run in the in
terest of distant cities, but there is one
unbroken route which leads into a
splendid country and is run as much
in theinterest of Memphis as any other
place. We allude to the Memphis
and Little Rock and the Little Rock
and Fort Smith railroads, which prac-
tically so far as our interests are con-
cerned constitute an unbroken line.
The people ofnorth-western Arkansas
within reach OF the Fort Smith road
are inclined to trade with Memphis,
and five do not receive a large share ol
business from that region it is because
edo not make the proper effort. We
are much nearer Fort Smith by rail
than st. Louis, can make better terms
as to freight, and give more for cotton
There is no reason why our merchants
should not draw the great bulk of the
trade from that rich and prosper.

The Turkish reiveille march, now
being played by the orchestra at the
theater, is one of the latest compost
tions of the celebrated Thos. Michae-
lis. 1t has been received with un-
usual marks of favor wherever played;
it is an inspiringly brilliant piece Of
martial music as we'll as an elegant
descriptive march, representing the
approach, passing, and withdrawal Of
Turkish patrol. The melody is of
the most stirring character and cannot
fail to be popular here, as in other
cities. Mr. Handwerker and his orches-
ira have been much complimented on
the manner in which they have thus
far rendered their musical programme.
They are doing all in their power to
satisfy and please the music-loving
audience that may visit our theatef.

Helmbolds Buchu has long been known
as one of the most valuable medicines at
tainable in certain classes of diseases, such
as dyspepsia, chronic rheumatism, dropsy
cutaneous affections, and especially affec-
tions of the urinary organs. As diuretic,
it is superior to almost any other medi-
cine in use, and the great care with which
it prepared, the absolute purity of the
preparation, and the diligence used in the
selection of the crude material, have made
it known far and wide as reliable and
effective preparation, and one that can
always be used with safety and benefit,
The great success of Helmbolds Buchu
has led to the production Of many spur
ious preparations, which are made cheap
ly and placed upon the market to be sold
on the reputation acquired by Helmbold's
original preparation. Parties who desire
a really good medicine should be careful
and use Hslmbold'S only.

MuIe Tl,Ier(sOne HOme.

On the 18th of August last one NJ.
IL. Comstock, a machinist, was ar
rested here for mule stealing, and he
has laid in Jail since that time. Four
weeks previous he purloined pair of
mules from w. H. Dickinson. in
Coahoma county, Mississippi. One
of the animals was left by the thief in
Tate county, Mississippi; the other he
rode up to Richardson's landing,
crossed to Arkansas and sold to
DR.. McGavock; then he came here
to enjoy himself right in the midst Of
our sickly season. A few days after
his coming, he was captured and
lodged in Jail. Deputy sheriff w. H.
Russell, of Coahoma, will leave this
evening for the scene of Comstock's
exploits, and will escort the prisoner
there for trial. The mules were botl
recovered some time ago. The THE

Point, and could have borrowed sew
eral times the value of the two mules
and this course might have saved hin
from being handled as a thief. Office

oner.

WASHINGTON special to the Courier
Journal: The total estimates for the
Government expenses for the ensuing
fiscal year is $l5,OOO.OOO in excess Of
the amount appropriated by Congress
for the current year. The Admins
tration has, of late, been trying by a
sort of legerdemain use of figures to
show reduction in the costof running
the Government, but the bare fact
is as stated above. Secretary Sher-
man is laying great stress upon the re-
duction of the expenses of his Office
a reduction of 100000 in the Depart
ment here, which he manages to secure
through the cessation of funding op-
erations. His Department, however,
like others, except Secretary Thomp-
sons, brings in a deficiency, so that the
amount asked for does not always in
dicate the amount expended. The
larger items Of increase in the new es-
Inmates are for the postal service and
pensions, but under the head Of mis-
cellaneous expenses there is an in
crease of $5O,00O,OOO, which cover "a
multitude of sins, as it were.

Guilford Locke, who was placed on

say that neither desired to be placed

known to the business men of this
part of Arkansas. Geographically,
Memphis seems to be altogether
better place for our trade, because it
lies directly east, or nearly so, and on
a direct line by rail to Charleston,
New Orleans and Mobile, cities situ-
ated in the cotton belt, besides, Mem
phis is one of the best cotton markets
in the South. The railway connection
with Little Rock and Fort Smith
road, is by far shorter, aud more di-
rect than by the Iron Noun
tain and Southern railway.
For groceries, certainly Memphis
has every advantage over ST.
Louis-especially as to sugar, coffee,
rice, and all tropical fruits, etc. Be-
sides these things, the per centage that
have to be added on additional freights
on all articles from st. Louis will, aud
must necessarily be higher than at
Memphis. The yellow fever for the
last two years has made against the
trade Of Memphis, and it is to be hoped
that the lesson taught the people Of
that will open their eyes TO make
Memphis hereafter a healthier place,
so as to give assurance to business
men that it will be perfectly safe for
them to trade there.
The advantages aside from epidem-
les, which may not occur frequently,
if ever, are all in favor of Memphis,
as against ST. Louis. Our merchants
can duplicate any st. Louis bill and
can pay better price for cotton.
Besides we are nearer to the Fort
Smith people and have more ties in
common. 1t is as the Independent
says. "St. Louis is notoriously selfish
in reaching out to induce trade, anc
she sits silently, reaping the benefits
which has naturally fallen into hel
lap, without aiding any enterprise t
build her up. Northwest Arkansas
can testify to her selfshness. Taking
all things into consideration, ther,
should be competition, cheap freights
cheap groceries, etc which is not tn,
case while st. Louis holds our trad,
as a monopoly, and gives us what ",
need at her own prices. 1t is sale
competition is the life of trade"
We have called attention to this sub
ject before, and trust that our mer
chants, now that a genuine bushes
revival has come, will reach out 70
the splendid trade that waits for then
all along the line of railroad fron
Fort Smith down to Little Rock.

remarked that it was about correct.
1t certainly represents my views, "

Atlanta (Ga) Constitution
Last night, about dark, in the beat
ing rain, an old man and small girl
passed along with the busy crowd on
Whitehall street. Hemust have been
seventy at least, and was so feeble
that the storm seemed almost too much
for him. She was not more than
twelve, or fourteen at most, but in
manner and carriage was a little
woman and not child. Sheappeared
to have the cares of a household on
her, for she stopped to make purchases
of provisions with little purse so
sparsely filed that it told the tale of
the poverty which her neat appearance
so nearly concealed More than one
person noticed the care with which
she selected a scanty stock of a few
necessaries and the faith Of the old
man as he stood by and left
all to the taste and prudence of the
child-woman. When her little bundles
were ready she tucked them 10 under
her arm, wrapped her shawl about her
head and said to her father, come
on, as cheerily as if she were calling
a companion to play. They went down
the street, the little one seeming tC
lead the way through the crowd, and
the old man following in his feeble
gait. The darkness and crowd soon
hid them from eyes that would gladly
have seenssssthem longer, but even
brief glimpse left the thought that he
might be one on whom affiictiOn and
misfortune had heavily fallen, and she
one of those children, alike wise and
lovely beyond their years, dispensing
the blessings of womanhood in al
tenderness, while she held the faith
and hearted JOY of a child. 1t was
a Saturday night scene worth seeing
and worth thinking about.
