gled and bruised appearance, and were
informed that it was an effort to leap from
one raisin to another in certain bun that
caused the limp. lie was reticent as to
the how the bruises occurred, but it may

mere conjecture, however, but that raisin

FUEL.-Thc following extract from a
letter from General Manager Hill to fuel
dealer in this county, will explain why the
company controls the fuel business, and
does not allow dealers to have special
rates of freights. thus bebarring them from
obtaining wood from any source except
through the company. The paragraph al.
luded 10 says 81 would be very glad to
give to dealers in wood low rates of trans
portation, from the big woods to their re-
spective yards, if that would enable them
to get wood, but it would have exactly the
contrary effect. If We give It to you. we
would be compelled, in fairness, TO give il
to all others, and the result would be, that
within week or ten days, the price of
wood in the big woods would be more
than it now costs you to deliver it at your
place, in fact il is only by using coal in
our locomotives, and showing ourselves,
as far as the companys wants are con
cerned, 10 be to great extent indcpend
ent of the wood supply, that we can gel
tile wood at present prices. If those hold
ing timber lands in the big woods could
sell to the number of buyers that would bt
in the market IL the course was open
there would be no limit to the prices they
would ask.

TO give their age, length Of thsir
teeth, &c. We regret this, We like
to know the year in which all great
men were born. The ancients be-
lieved that when great men came
into the world, all nature was con-
vulsed, and tremendous earthquakes
and great phenomena took place.
No such things have transpired in
this country since our recollection,
ard we therefore conclude that they
are older than we. He does not tell
us if they are now living, nor speak
of their demise; but we conclude as
all nature has been calm and serene
since the adjournment OF the leglS-
lature, that they are still with US on
this mundane sphere-for surely
Mother Earth would never receive
remains so great without showing
some sign Of the great event. If
it had been the case, and some Of
them had departed this life, we
could indulge in a little bit of poetry
for an epiyaph, to-wit;
Here lies a member of the
Last Arkansas legislature.
He stood within the halls of state and
Drew his six dollars and mileage,
Although his pockets wide
w. 81 ,,occaa
The world to travel Ger.
At last he received a summons, with
A free pass to cross the Eternal river.
In great haste he departed into
The other world to collect his mileage
Above or below, we have not stated
But ala6l return he cannot,
For his pass will not re-convey him.
There is such thing as oblivion,
sweet ObIivion-a time in which
past events which are not agreeable,
although not entirely forgotten, but
apparently never existed. Such was
really the condition in which the
people had allowed the last legisla-
ture to repose; but the constellation
of the three stars will, we fear, dis
turb the obllvlouS sleep of that
great body, Let him be careful how
he "part the pail and rend the
shroud" of their immortal greatness,
lest some more luminous pen than
his, or ours, seize upon the skeleton
within and hold it out to the public
gaze, and shake it TO the breeze un-
Til, although he should elevate it as
high as the stars themselves, its
tattered remains would reach to
earth again, and never cast a
shadow. More anon. BO-PEEP.

GEN. w. T. HASKELL.


great orators of America at a time
that oratory was almost worshlpped.
The writer of this had the pleasure
and profit Of hearing many of his
most splendid efforts, and will cher
ish the fascinatlons of those occa-
slons with a memory fresh and i'm
perishable in lite.
: VIM. T. Haskell was the very
incarnation Of personal magnetism,
the soul of chivalry, and rare poet
in imagination and expression. With
those who knew him, a thought Of
his vast powers is sufficient to awak-
en- high conceptions Of true individ-
ual greatness. His fate, like that Of
most men of transcendant genius,
was Supremely sad. A few years
before his death, his faculties be-
came temporarily distempered, and
he was carried by friends and con
fined in the asylum at Hopkinsville,
Ky. The lady matron Of that es
tablishment, whose name, ! regret
to say, has escaped my memory, had
profound sympathy for Haskell, in
his "drift to lee Shore" and minis
tered to him her kindest Offices.
Not long thereafter, he, to the joy
of tens of thousands in Tennessee
and elsewhere, was restored to
olife's bowers, full of bliss and love-"
1t was then he composed and IN
scribed to his benefactress the lines
below, descriptive Of his late dispair
and deliverance, the publication Of
which will, doubtless, be appreciated
by many readers of the RECORD
The first part exhibits tragic and
almost lmpiouS desolation of the
soul; the second IS full OF beauty and
pathos. The punctuation, in every
respect, may not be exact or accu
rate, but, according to my recQllec-
ton, the words and divisions were
as follows:
DESPAIR.
~ am adrift on life's ocean, and
wildly sweep,
Aimless and helmless it's fathomless
deep,
And wild winds assail me; it threat
'ningly storms,
The clouds roll around me in hid
eous forms;
drift to a lee shorel | strike! am
aground.
The mad waters whelm mel
drown! Oh | drown!
Mercy, oh mercy! Oh Lord Oet me
free
And take me, oh take me to Heaven
and Thee.
II wander lite's desert, lone, desc
late, sad,
Faint, reeIIng and wesry-Pm mad!
Oh Pm mad
No glad waters greet no streams
flowing free
( perish! porishl Oh God set me
free.
All helpless, l pray Thee, tits idle
and vain:
[ perish! perish! Rain--rain--give
me rain;
Let the stream of deliverance flow
gently to me,
And drift me- oh. drift me to Heaven
and Thee.
Mid the wranglipgs of men and their
conflicts so fierce,
Half mad and dispairing, my lips
spit curse,
Instead Of imploriDg refuge and
peace
From life's maddening battle, for
hope and release,

"But the storm howls no longer; the
desert Is gone,
The battles fierce strife no more

The tempests no more lash the

And the clouds float in beauty afar
to the west.
I move through life's bowers full Of
bliss and of love,

REPRESENTATIVE ELLIS, of Louisi-
ana, has a good bill in the hands OF
the house poetofice committee. It
provides for the establishment, by
government, Of postal telegraph
system. to eventually extend through
out The United States. Various plans
looking to that end have been de
vised. and the propristy of the under
taking discussed for years past; bat
through the powerful influence of the
telegraph companies. and tie hesi-
fancy on the part OF government to
take any lew departures. nothing
has been done toward adopting the
benevolent enterprise. Mr. Ellis
bill provides for the buying or build
iEg by the postohioe department of
one or more telegraph lines connect
ing the cites of Boston. New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and Wash.
ington. The schedule Of rates to DO
charged is fixed as follows For mes.
sages Of twenty-five words or less, for
any distance up to 200 miles, fifteen
cents; up to 500 miles. twenty FIVE
cents; up to 1 900 miles. forty eents;up
to 5000 miles. 81, and there Is an
extra cost for each additional
word, running from one-hsll cent to
five cents according to the distance.
Messages of less than 200 words
passing between adjoining Offices are
to be charged at the rate of ten cents,
With one-haIf cent for each additional
word. The bill looks to the extension
of the system, should it be found to
work satisfactorily. to the larger cities
in the west and south, and finally all
over the country. It provides for the
beginning by making an appEopria-
lion OF 100000. If q postal tele-
graph system, with cheap rates for
the transmission OF messages could
net be made to pay the cost OF keep
ing it up, it certainly would
not fall far short of doing
SO, as it would at once leap into
popularity and be largely palronized
by the public. 8 portion of the
public money could not be better ex.
pended than in this manner. There
seems little likelihood OF Mr.. Ellis
bill becoming law at the present ses
sion of Congress, bat before long
government will have to adopt the
proposed system, as the clamog for it
Is incTeasing in all parts OF the
country.
