MIrth at Home.

A merry heart doeth good like n
medicine, but p broken spirit drieth the
bones, declares the wisest of men. A
swift appreciation of the ludicrous is
the happy birthright of some fortunate
people, but there are those who never
see joke quickly, and who cannot com.
prehend why it makes Others laugh,
even after it has been duly explained.
II, as the proverb says, Laughter is
medicinal, they are much 10 be pitied.
They are not cushioned against the
sharp corners and hard knocks of life.
There is q coarse wit that is allied to
bulioonery and may descend to inde-
cency, and the less we have of that the
better. The brightness and buoyancy
which makes the day cheerful; which
lift the wearied and the i'll from their
depression, and which impart courage
when disaster seems imminent, are price
less gifts. The merry making the best
of things, seeing the silver edge along
the thickCning clouds, remembering
how much worse misfortune might have
belallen, and being CHEEKY when Others
are discouraged, how noble are these
qualities when put in practice and how
brave they may be. l agree, in mea-
sure, with the brilliant French woman,
who said that "the joyousness of n
spirit is an index of its power" words
true for all time. 1t should be n mat
ter of conscience with us to maintain
serenity of outward appearance at all
times.

The Chinese in New York.

The New York correspondent of the
Butla,o Courier writes as follows: The
Chinese in New York, where they be-
come more and more numerous very
fast, care great deal more about money
than about religion. One of the charges
against the Chinese, by the way-that
they don't marry-is not quite true.
Some OF them do marry-when they can
get white wives. A Chinaman and a
white girl went 10 the mavcr's Office the
other day, and we're made man and wife.
A short time before another Chinaman
and white woman, who appeared a3 his
wife, were in the police court to settle a
row about the name of their baby. The
taste of the white girls who take washee-
washee husbands can hardly be COM
mended, but the washee- -washee men
don't care much about the taste, sup
pose, so long as they get wives. There
Is already some talk about asking the
legislature TO forbid this kind of mis-
cegenation, but what it may amount to
l cannot say. AS yet there is no sign of
n special demand for Chinese servants.
Probably not more than fifty of the 2, 500
Chinese in New York are employed in
this way. l understand that some who
have tried Cinnamon have been glad to
get rid of them after few weeks. There
is no particular complaint, but a sort of
general dissatisfaction.

An Incentive.

Judicious praise is an incentive to
effort. Praise your children if they de-
serve it, and don't be afraid it will make
them cOnceited; merited compliments
serve rather to make persons satisfied
with themselves and agreeable, rather
than vain and overbearing. If your
child is pretty let her know you think
go. Many a girl has been made timid
and self-distrustful for life, because her
parents thought it their duty to con-
vince her that she was plain and unat-
tractive. AS a rule, those who have the
greatest gifts and talents are not the
ones who are best satisfied with them
selves. They absolutely need encour-
agement from interiors to buoy them
up. A well-timed compliment does
Them good. It makes sensitive people
wretched to have their defects pointed
out and commented on, with no allu-
sion to their redeeming virtues. AS for
men, they never make any effort which
they think will end in failure; make a
man think he can do what ne undertakes
and he exerts all his powers and will
frequently come off victorious in spite
of many obstacles, and in face of ali
discOuragements. If blame is needed,
don't restrain It; but if you can con-
sclentiously praise q we'll meaning
effort, do it. There is no knowing
what good you will accomplish.

Removing OdOrs,

According to the Druggists Circular,
ground mustard, mixed with a little
water, is an excellent agent for cleans
ing tie hands after handling odorous
substances. such as cod liver oil, musk,
valerianic acid and its salts. Scale pans
and vessels may also be readily freed
from odor by the same method. A
Huber states that all oily seeds, when
powdered will answer this purpose. In
Inc ease of almonds and mustard. the
of ethereal oil, under the
influence of water, may perhaps help t)
destroy foreign odOrs. The author
mentions that the smell of carbolic acid
NAV be removed by rubbing the hand ;
with damp flaXseed meal, and that COD
liver bottles may be cleansed with little
OF the same, or olive oil.

English Landscape.

Gath writes from London to the
Cincinnati Enquirer:
The journey over England is refresh
ing to the eye of the American. He sees
few sunny tints or prospects, but also
few offensive contrasts, such as a brand
new country interposes to nature with
its sloVenlY worn fences and stiff, white
barns and houses. Here the landscape
is humid, yet warm with rocks, heaths.
and red houses and brown thatches and
stacks. Stone or brick walls go every
where, and infinitely numerous canals
and railroads require so many arched
bridges that the mason and the gar
dener seem never out of sight. The
land is cultivated as carefully as quilts
are patched and hemmed. Towns rise
and fall out of sight like clusters of
grapes to the lips of Tantalus. The sta
tions are neat and picturesque; the
people swarm like bees; the railroad is
grand Roman viaduct, built to last
forever, with its line kept like an end
less garden or park, and its trains light
as coupes behind toy engine. New
England was not Unnamed for its re-
semblance to England by Captain John
Smith its rocky spires, green valleys,
little rivers. ind broken coasts and
clumps of mountains indicating the
humid land of Albion. No doubt this
is land of love, both for its antiquity
and present industrial glory. A great,
yirile, cold-grained, yet affectionate race
is here, anchored on the safe rock of self
interest, with irrelevant customs and
institutions, but such unequal advan-
tages and civilization that there is al
ways contented majority TO do the
rough work of peace or war. would

HON. JAnIEs L. DENTON.

This gentleman has announced his intention to again be a candidate for reelection to the office of State Superintendent of Public Instruct ion. He is the right man for the place, and we ckeerfully recommend that every man Tn Arkansas vote for him. He has worked with a most determined zeal and energy to build up the cause of popular education in our State. and his labors have had a most wholesome effect.
 Let Mir. Denton's valuable seryi- ces be retained. It would be great mistake and a most unfortunate one for the cause of popular education in our State, if he should be displaced by some less ardent worker.

Tfe House~eomniffsses on territo- ries having reported favorably on the Vest Senate biil Cor the organl- zation of the territory of Oklahoma, there is q probability of the bill be. cominuA law at this session of Con Qress. There Is no subject or measure before Congress in which the inter ests of Arkansas are more deeply and vitallv interesed than this mat ter of tcritoriaiizing the fndiancoun try. It IS matter indeed of SUI preme importance The present ano- -malous condition of that country Is great drawback to onr progress and prosperity. No Railroads can be built through it except by the act of Congress and the consent Of the Indians, and it IS very difficult to get either, so that 1t presents n fatal check and barrier to the con struction of these Improvements, and blocks up the way ot our western progress and expansion. There are now before Congress several bills asking permission to build railroads through this territory that would connect our system of roads with those of Kansas and Western Missouri, and the whole northwest, winch, If built, would add greatly to our importance as a railroad State, greatly improve our condition, our commerce and oar general prosperi- ty. But the chinese wall of exclu- siveness that now encloses the fair land, shuts out all such enterprises and improvements, and while con tinuing 1t in a condition of ignorance darkness and general worthlessness, also prevents our state from enjoy ing those benefits, advntages and ia cilities that are essential 10 our growth, progress and advancement.
 To teritorialize this country and open It to white settlers and the i'm troduction ot the systems and meth ods of civilization and progress, would not on.y soon change its con dition from that of waste, howl ing wilderness" and make it bloom and blossom like . garden, but it would stimulate the growth of our state, increase cur population, multi ply railroads and give us a boom of business prosperity like that en- joyed by more prosperous states of the Northwest.
 We therefor hope that representa- tivss in congress will used their utmost efforts and endeavors to have the Vest bill pass. It may not be all that we could ask or desire, but it is an important step in the right direction and may become the step ping stone to the near future adop- tion of more perfect and complete policy.-Gazette

----------- - SAMUEL J. TILDEN.

In Mir. Thomas A. Hendricks let ter accepting the nomination for the vice presidency rendered him by the National Democratic Convention at ot. Louis in 1876. he referred to Samuel J. Tilden, who had been given the nomination for President, in these highly complimentary terms:
 Permit me, in conclusion, to ex. press my satisfaction at being asso- ciatsd with candidate for the Pres idencY who is first among his equals as a representative of the spirit and of the achievements of reform. In his official career as the Executive of the great State of New York, he has, in a comparatively short period, reformed the public service and re duced the public burdens, so as to have earned at once the gratitude of hls State and the admiration of the country. The people know him to be thoroughly in earnest; he has shown himself to be possessed of qualities and powers which fit him. in an eminent degree for the great work of reformation which this country now needs; and if he be chosen by the people to the high office of President of the United States, l believe the day of his inau- geration will be the beginning of a new era of peace, purity and pros perity in all departments of our government.n

DOVER, April 18th, 1880.
 Ed. DEMOCRAT; In response to 8 call made in the columns of your pa- per sometime since for information as to the most popular candidates for State and County officers, we would beg to say, after having con suited some of the most influential citizens, that we believe public pref erence in Dover township runs about as follows: for Governor, we think that T. J. Churchill is the man; for Representative, we think E. L. Mo. Cracken aud H. Clabe Howell are equally balanced in the scale of pub- lie favor; for Treasurer, we believe there is no man more popular thaR the present incumbent F. C. Falls; for County any Probate Judge, A. J. Bayliss; for Sheriff, R. B. Hogins; for Clerk, w. J. Reynolds; for Asses sor F. J. Rollow.
 The last five gentlemen mentioned have decidedly the advantage in Do yer township. As to the other off COTS, we are not informed.

We are not Mir.
