HORACE GREELEY, made himself
conspicuous on divers occasion by
his writings on what he knew about
farming, and from the adverse crit
icisms which met him on every
farm throughout the country, one
would be lead to suppose that hIs
subjects were either lnjudiciously
selected, or wrongfully styled. Tn.
like Greedy we do not set up any
claims to great knowledge or expe-
rionce in the noble pursuit of tlllng
the soil; yet, like HIM, and many
others, who are over ready to fur
nish advice when the market Is
gluttcd, we would suggest that in
view of the drought, cotton, our
main crop, will mature and open
much earlier than it would had VIC
had an abundant seasoning Of ram.
The stalk, while perhaps small! in
comparison with other years, is
healthy, and has taken on all Of the
lruit 1T can carry. 1t is tho gene
raj belief that it will open carly,
and if the work Of picking is CON-
mcnced as soon as the weather will
permit and before the bottom crop
begins to drop and rot, as large Il
yield will be harvested rs last year.
In seasons of abundant rams, the
bottom crop is generally lost, and
the middle and top crops only are
gathered. Our idea would now be
to commence picking as coon as
practicable and to keep at it until
all is gathered. Let our farmers
study this idea up, and see if we are
not about correct.

The Osceola Times entered on
ITS 18th volume on the % ult,, and
is as lively as six-months old kit

success for he prints an excellent
journal - Harrison Times.
The Oseeola Times has entered
upon its thirteenth volume. 1t is
fearless, outspoken, incorruptiblo

May he and his paper live long TO

-[Ozark Democrat.
The Times lays no clam to being
a first class paper, but with our
limited means, we are trying to do
our duty by the people from whom
we derive our support. We have
long since experienced the fact that
to take a stand in obedience to the
will of conscience is not an invita-
ton to walk through "grcen flow
cry spaces, waited on by the choral
muses. and the rosy hours" but we
have found It to be q solemn call 10
duty to travel q rough, rugged
road, accompanied with the com
mand, to "advanco, and fear no
danger" We are grateful t. our
esteemed contemporary for his
words of commentator and en-
couragomcnt, and God helping us,
we will continue TO battle for the
truth as lie gives us light to sec it,
though in common cGndor, and in
the interest of truth and fair play,
We must inform tho DeH5crai that
many people around here, impelled
by horrible fascination, read the
Times and curse it, and call the in
dividual whom y'u praise so highly,

THE Acmphis drato6chc unmind-
ful of the beam in its journalistic
eye continues to point out the crim-
mai notes IN that Of Arkansas. OF
late, however, the list of crimes in
Tennessee has increased with such
wonderful rapidity, and SO much
out CT proportion with that of Ar
kansas, that IN order not to appear
in the role Of 4 villifcr and traduc.
CT Of the fair name Of the State, in
its issue of the 1,h. inst it some
what modiiies lis tone and says:
"At last the newspapers Of onr
nclghborlng state OF Arkansas are
waking mp to q full sense of the in
jury which is being done to their
state by the prevalence of crime,
and begin to denounce the outrages
in vigorous style, and to suggest
remedy for the prevailing evil. If
prosperity comes to that STATE peace
must first be established.
Last week we called the atten-
ton OF the Avalanche to u heinous
crime committed IN Tiptonvillc,
Tenn.--a rape case with mob law
attachments. We now cite it to
another of the samo character in
Dycrsbnrg, Tenn. \ few days
since the state militia had to be or
dercd out at Brownsville to assist
the officers in enforcing the laws
and quclling riot And still later
the U, S. troops had to protect the
town Of Covington from the vio-
lence OF negro mob while the
civil authorities hung murderer,
who had been fairly tried, convict,
ed and sentenced. Our exchange
with, and access to Tennessee pa
pers is limited, but we doubt not
that in the matter of murder, rape
mob law and general diabohsm.
Tennessee is not behind Arkansas
20 any great extent. We think we
can discover beneath this system
attic showing-up Of crime in Arkan-
Gas, on the part Of the Avalance, iu
all its glaring hidcousness, with its
conspicuous and highly sensation
al headlines, Il spirit of envy sug-
gested through the knowledge that
Tennesseeans are becoming dissat-
lsfied with their poor, red clay hill
farms and are nocking TO the rich
and productive soil Of Arkansas.
This is the secret in q nutshell, and
The reason why the Avalanche so
persistcntly reflects and advertiscs
the crime record of Arkansas, A
little more attention TO crimes COM
mitted at home, and suggestions as
TO its suppression would be more
in the line Of its duty, and setting m
example for Arkansas, who would
be content TO bear her share of pub

Tuesday evening, to consider the Prohibition
amendment to the State Constitution. The
bill authorizing city passenger railways to
be constructed under general laws in all cit
les Of the first class was read first time,
and the bill authorizing elevated railways
in cities of the second and third class was
read second time.

one prepared by the National Board of Trade
TO prevent the adulteration of food and
drugs. Mr.. Clark offered resolutions con-
graduating General Malone upon his course
in the United States Senate, ana congratu-
latng Virginia upon having such Senator,
ETC., but withdrew them after adverse mo-
tions had been made. Mr.. Ringgold ut
tempted to introduce n resolution declaring
1t the sense of the House, "that from oil the
facts given in the case" Miss Anna scull

There is shot-tower in Baltimore, and
the american describes the process Of max.
ing shot. One Of tho "secrets" Of the manu-.
facture is :he mixing Of lead with certain
proportion of combinations Of mineral stAb
stances called "temper." The "temper" is
fused with lead, and gives the molten metal
that consistency which makes it drop. Ifit
were not for the "temper" the lead would be
moulded by the sieve, and would form little
pencils instead of round shot. When Abb"
shot, for instance, arc to be made, the lead
is poured into pan perforated with holes
corresponding with that size. The little
pellets pour down in continuous shower,
and fall. In their descent of two hundred
feet they become perfect spheres, firm and
dense, and they are tolerably cool when
they strike the water, although the swift
conclusion makes the tank foam and bubble
as if the water were boiling furiously. Tho
shot must fallin the water, for ifthey should
strike any firm substance they would be
hattened and knocked out of shape. It is
said that this method Of making shot spheri-
cal was the invention Of the wife of poor
European workman in metals, who had
spent months in trying to do it without
moulding. To get the little pellets perfect
ly dry after they have been in tho 'well" is
the most difficult and troublesome process of
the whole manufacture. An elevator with
small brackets, very much like those used
in -four mills, carries the shot up as fast us
they reach the bottom OF tho "well" and de-
pOsits them in box sixty feet above the frst
floor. The water runs from the buckets as
they 90 up, and not much ispoured into the
receiver above, although it is intended to DO
a sort Of dripping machine. From this re-
eeiver the shot runs down spout into
drying pan, which greatly resembles gigan-
tic shoe, made OF sheet iron The pan rests
at an angle which permits the wet shot to
roll down to the chamber below, and the
pellets become perfectly dry as they pass
over the warm Bheet-iron.

WASHINGTON.
OUR SPECIAL LErTRR.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 2, 1884,.
The country at large is undoubtedly puz-
sled to know just exactly what the illustri-
Gus body known as tho Senate of the Unit
ed States is about. The extra session has
been in operation.thpee weeks and beyond
the confirmation OF a few important and
great many unimportant nominations it
has done absolutely nothing. The prine-
paleibrt apparently has been in the drec-
tion Of witty sayings and happy repartees
delivered in the course of windy debates on
subjects of no real consequence to the best
interests Of the country. II having now
been pretty definitely settled that Senator
Malone was not elected as Democrat. but
as an indescribable nondeser ipt called by
his friends Readjuster This would seem
to mean that he is at perfect liberty to ad-
just his political views to meet any emer-
gency. This, just at present, requires that
he should cast his vote with the RepuLli.
can party. lie accordingly does so and i'm
mediately there arises loud sentiments Of
indignation from the Democratic side of the
Senate chamber. Senator Hills the repre-
sentative speaker of that party, and be-
tween him and Senator Malone was nice
little passage Of parliamentary arms, which
ended pretty much where it began, that is
to say, both positions remained unchanged,
each holding to the opinions asserted at
the beginning of the controversy.
The ominOus clouds OF discontent have
already appeared upon the political hori-
zon. Two of these clouds hang like a pail
over the distant lakes and rivers Of New
York ana Pennsylvania. The one repre-
ssnts the discomfort if not dismay that
rests upon the army Of stslwarts drawn up
ia array against the President, under the
command OF Senator cOnkling. The other
iSths'Sinblem Of the intense dissatisfaction.

that fills the bosom Of Attorney General
MacVeagh with the appointment of VIM.
L. Chandler as his assistant. II is affirmed
that Senator Conkling is determined that
Judge Robertson, who has baen recently ap-
pointed Collector o. the port OF Now York,
shall not be confirmed. Attorney General
MacVeagh it is stated is equally positive in
his opinion that Mr.. Chandler and himself
cannot work harmoniously together, 80
there they go hopperty -hopperty, and how
it is all going 10 end no one seems to know.
The belief heie is that Blaine is at the bot
tom of the mischief. In fact, it is whisper
ed among the knowing ones that Blaine is
rapidly oYershadow!ng Garfield and will
soon be real President.
The managers Of the Yorktown ceebra-
tion are actively at work arranging matters
for demonstration that will be worthy of
the occasion. Congress appropriated $780,
600 for u monument, $40 900 for defraying
the expenses of entertaining the French
vessels Of war which are expected to be
present, and $4,000 for the use Of the Con-
gressonal Committee having the matter in
charge. Each Of the thirteen original
states has appropriated money to pay the
expenses Of militia to take part in the pro-
eession. The celebration will begin ON tho
9th of October and continue, it is supposed,
about two weeks. 1t is expected that an
immense concourse Of people will be pres
ent, and preparations are being made to en-
terrain them.
Mrs. Kate Chase Spragus occupied the
Senate gallery as of yore to-day, and was
much observed. From the fact Of her pres
ence it was rumored that Conklng would
make speech in reply to Malone, but
these humorous speculations came to
naught Mrs. Sprague looks care-worn
and thin, and was dressed in more subdusd
etyle than usual. A royal purple fe1, with
narrow gold braid and cnlored feathers
sat jaunti!y on her brow, while solferino
scarf concealed ths bones OF her neck and
was pinned upon her bosom. Sho was ac-
companed by her daughter.

TTAFE LEGISLATwRE.

In tho State Senate Thursday, 3lsb ult,
the House bill relieving buiilingassociations
from taxation was reported favorably. A
bill was introduced providing for a signal
corps Ia be attached to the National Guard.

ated for the insurance of real estate owners

isctive titles, liens and incunbran noes; the

phia, were passed finally aud sent to the
House.
In the House, the bill requiring persons
taking charge of any steam engine of over
s0-horse power to be examined and licensed
BY the county boiler inspector. was reported
hvorably. IA was originally reported mega
tively.) The Senate resolution for a COM
mission to reYise the revenue laws was re-
ported favorably, with Proviso limiting
the expense to $4,000. The General bicense
bill WAS indefinitely postponed. In even
ing session, the joint resolution proposing
an amendment to the State Constitution
forever prohibiting the manufacture and
sale Of all Intoxicating liquors except for
medicinal, mocha nical and scientific pur-
poses, passed second reading by vote Of 9s
to 80. Several amendments were rejected,
among them one to allow the manufacture
Hnd sale OF wine for saeraniental purposes.
Ia the State Senate, Friday, the bill Ak
ing the salaries Of the Legislators was report
ed favorably. Bills were introduced to pro-
tect the secrecy Of the ballot, by forbidding
the use of fancy type in printing the ticket
heads and abolishing all distinctions Of race
and color in admitting pupils iothe public
schools. The billexempting from taxation
county bonds Issued for payment OF riot
losses and allowing foreign corporations to
become corporations of this State, passed
finally and were sent to the House. Ad-
journed.
In the House, Mr.. Rice made an ineffee-
tual attempt to have the bill giving the con-
troll OF street cleaning to the City Councils
taken up for consideration. Mr.. Law intro
duced a bill abolishing the Collectorship Of
Delinquent Taxes. He said it WAS similar
10 that introduced by him early in the week,
except that it had been more carefully pre-
pared by the Committee Of One Hundred.
The bill was referred to the Judiciary Com
mittee. A special session was ordered for
