An exchange remarks: They are
making row down in Washington
about people using their old prescrip-
ti0Hs upon a return Of similar symP-
toms, instead of going again to the doc
tor. To our way Of thinking, q man
pays for his prescription and it is his
property. The druggist has no more
right to retain it than he has TO refuse
to give the purchaser q copy when he
does retain it. In many cities abroad
the Doctors prescription is invariably
returned, 8 copy being kept in large
volume, and you seldom or never hear
of mistakes being made, The fact Of
the matter is, our medical and pharma-
ceutical systems need a deal Of reform
ing. The contracts between physicians
and druggists are made for their mutual
benefit and always against the pocket
Of the patient As things now stand,
only a rich, or moderately rich msn
can afford to be sick. It costs more to
have a fever than to 60 to Europe "

In concluding the subject Of Ar

grants.
Cotton, corn, oats, potatoes, Hun,
garian grass and all the millet family
flourish here in their greatest luxu
rance. I was shown some speci,
mems of German millet grown a few
miles from here, measuring full siz
feet in height. Orchard grass and
red clover grow to perfection.
There are millions of acres Of the
finest timber, such as pine, oak,
black walnut, &C., which will become
very valuable as the different rail
ways, now in contemplation, pene.
trate the almost unbroken forests
that cover large sections of the
State. Much emigration is turned
away from the State by reports Of
murders and lawlessness. It is a
fact that a great many murders are
committed in the borders Of the
State, but since I have been here, to
the best of my knowledge, not one
good and peaceful citizen has been
Killed.
The murders are nearly always the
result of an old feud, prof a drunk
enbrawl, and affect only the bad
classes, who are parties to them,
whilst the lives and property of So
Der aud well-behavedp people are just
as safe here as in Ohio.
The sun shines with great force
here, but there is nearly always a
pleasant and refreshing breeze, and
the nights are simply delightful.
There is no enterprise at all mani
tested by the natives; Incidence and
shiftiessness being their distinguish
ing characteristics. The principle
that has the deepest root in the
brains Of the natives, is, never under
any circumstances whatever to do
anything that can be avoided, and
aJ,cays to postpone until tomorrow,
what ought to be done to-day.
Altogether, this is very inviting
field for northern capital and enter
prise, and just why the tide Of emf
grafton has so largely passed it by
for Texas is hard to understand. The
climate is certainly better here than
there, and good water sboundB every
where in Arkansas, which is not the
case in Texas.
Of the mineral resources Of the
State but little is known, though
much is claimed by those interested.
There has been a great noise for the
last year or two about the rich veins
of the precious metals at Silver City,
85 miles southwest of here, but so
far very little has been developed
except indications" and some spec
ulations in claims and mining

One Of Artsmus Wards Victories

I do not remember to have ever seen
any notice Of Artemus's happy use Of
pantomime in his humorous moods
among his friends and associates. There
was an unapprOaChablee elOquence some
times in it. He had a way OF making
quotation marks in the air with his left
and right fOrefngers, on occasion that
was irTesistably funny. Once he was
engaged to fill an evening in the lee
tura course Of q popular literary insti-
tuition Of q New England city. During
the lecture an individual who occupied
seat on one Of the front benches seemed
determined to resist tho speakers et-
forts to mako him laugh. Artemus
soon discovered both the listener and
his intention and concentrated all his
powers on him. For a long time it
seemed as II the man had the best Of it,
but by-and-by one Of Browns queer
eonceits took effect The obstinate fel-
low gave way and laughed and kicked
like = delighted schOOlbOy. Artemus
celebrated his victory BY coOlly anBoune-

The public have become pretty thor
oughly disguised with the exhibition
Guiteau is allowed to make of himself.
Almost every day the newspapers re-
cord some new effort of his that is plain
ly intended to create or confirm an i'm
preston that he is insane. His letters
to prominent men throughout the coun-
try asking aid in his defense, and his
maudlin claims to have been the instru-
ment of the Lord, are nothing more nor
less than stupid efforts to cheat an out
ragged and indignant people. The last
bit of acting in this direction is cor
respondence with lady in Indiana, in
whom he processes great interest and
whom he has invited to visit Washing
ton so as to attend his trial, which he
says will end in his complete vindica-
ton. He says this will be due to the
Lord. He considers himself engaged to
this lady, and on Saturday sent her
three of his photographs. All this is
sickening, and it is to be hoped the au-
thorities will speedily put an end to it
by trying and Furnishing him for his
crime.

any irregularity occurs after receiving the

The republicans seem to have q little
the best of it in the November elections.
Their majorities are cut down in some
states, but they lose no legislature ex-
cept New York, and gain IN Virginia.
Democratic success in the ''off year. is
always blessing to republicans, mas
much as it is easier to find fault with
the party in power than to reform or
keep your own right; hence when the
democrats gain legislature. whatever
they may do, the opposite party can find
enough to complain Of to carry large
number of votes against the Sins" at
the next election. The republicans lose
two members of congress. and the two
parties are almost exactly equal in both
the house and senate. They can. at
least, keep each other from committing
any serious harm.
