The Cxnrss brootis.

It has leaked out and has been off, cially reported that the Czar's mental health is very bad, and he IS at times quite insane. He is represented as suls- ject to prolonged fits of depression, so profound that he remains for hours, and even days, in state of almost uneon- scious lethargy. Those fits are succeed ed by wild exhilaration, during which the Czar is most affable, genial and joy ous, and it is at these moments that bis courtiers ask and receive fayors of the most extravagant description. The re- ports add that the disposition of the Cxar by his son is not at all improbable.

Mashburne on Paine

Ex-Minister Washburne (says the New York 7ribune), when in Paris, inn proved the fine opportunity he had for studying in the national archives the relations of Thomas Paine to the French Revolution, and the fruit oi his inyesti- gations will soon see the light, it is said, in an elaborate paper on the subject. The paper will be confined exclusively to the career of Paine during the French Revolution, and is written in the light of many documents which have never been made public. The conduct of Paine Mir. Washburn finds to have beer, it is said, 'sin the highest degree creditable to his intelligence, humanity and patriotism"

are the highest lands in the Miss

best adapted for a highway, IT
would be of incalculable value to
the entire people, in general. 1t is
impossible with the present dense
growth of timber throughout our
swampy lands, to have roads that
can be Travelled during the rainy,

road on the bank of the river would
be passaoIe at all seasons, save per-
haps during an overflow. Roads
is what this county needs. Let us

EDITOR TINES IL see two noti-
ccs to the people Of Mississippi
county, IN your last issue, of which
if understand them, deserves not

ton of those who are Interested
One notifies us that at the next
session of the general assembly of
Arkansas, (Which meets Jan. 13)
"a special act for Mississippi county
will be introduced to permit free
travel along the banks of the Miss
isslppi river
This means that you shall run a
fence between your farm and the
river, however much it may cost
so as to leave road along the bank
which, IN many instances, can not
be travelled at any time, while, at
the same time, you have already
| gwen a road ard gone TO the ex.
penso to build a lane through
your land.
Again, it means you must build
fence for miles IN some thirty
feet OF the river to be lost at every
cave of the banks when you could
Join your fence to the banks where
they are steep and not only save
the heavy expense Of one fourth ol
your fencing, but also save tho TOP
of the ience by caving of steeT
banks and overfows IN low places
This is on unnecessary expense on
those who own lands along the
entire length of the river IN thi'
county, which is about one hundred
miles. And, what is worse, the
road, ie obtained, would be worth
less in low places, and dangerous
on cav,ng banks. We say, besides

At the meeting of the Irving Hall Demo- cratic committee Wednesday evening there
 were some lively remarks. When the secre- tary had finished reading the report of a committee on the issues and results of the
 campaign, the chair gave the floor to MT.
 A. V. Davidson, who gave a ''rider'' to the
 entire report in these words: That the in-
 competency of the Democratic leaders was
 the cause of their failure'' This was the
 signal for battle. Mir. Shea got the floor
 and working his way into the aisle declared
 that the resolutions were mere forms.
 .Everybody knows why we lost the State
 thls year It was the unholy alliance we
 made with Tammany. When we did that we
 sacrificed to John Kelly misses flor local mess of pottage all the glorious issues of our campaign and the Presidency of the United States; This is the issue now How can men disenthrall themselves from this clutch that has squeezed with selfish strength the life blood of the Democratic party? It is a greater issue than fraud. It is twice as important. It has already destroyed more than fraud has destroyed. John Kelly and Tammany aided by our weakness, have destroyed the best man this party has known for years-GeneraI Hancock. It is pitiful It is shameful. Oh, gentlemen, it is disgraceful It is an unfor- tunate practice we have when defeat falls up- on us to cry Fraud, fraud ? I speak in no b1goted sense, for I worship at the same shrine and receive sacraments that Mayor elect Grace does but knew when he was named, and so oo you, that it was q mistake a frightful, terribl emistake It was this that resulted in our defeat-this question of relig- lon that was dragged in by John Kelly. The next step toward reform is to destroy all halls and all divisions and to leave to the peo- pie the choice and election of their officers B
