A Good Friend.

Hon. GEORGE w. CARLETON, one
of the lawyers engaged in the prose-
cution of the Atkinsons, tried for
murder at the last term of the Penn
iscot (Mo.) Circuit Court, in an arti-
! Gle to the Gayoso Democrat gives
utterancc to the following sentiments
on the subject of friendship in the
trying hour of adversely, which we
think worthy of general circulation:
"And in the case Of the Atkin-
sons, men in the highest circles of
society felt for them, and gentle
man of undoubted integrity came for
ward with his money as loan, to fee
able counsel for them. Some even
hint that his money broke our jail,
and gave them liberty. | speak of

] can say, and honestly say, donot
believe it. | have known Mr.. Ilar-
ris for years, and always have known
him as an honest man, high minded
gentleman, and man incapable of
thus wantonly setting at naught the
laws of the land. The ties of kind
red, and life long acquaintance was
the incentive for him to see that they
were represented before the bar of
justice by the best legal talent that
could be procured. lie was not the
man to 90 back ON friend in the
hour of adversely. If there is any
thing my soul abhors, it is the thing
of human shape, that is fair to my
face in the hour of my prosperity,
and ready to desert me, or stab me,
when troubles hedge me in. A man
that ! have befricndcd, "A man that |
have trusted for years, a man that |

sert me in my troubles, | have no
use for; he is no friend TO me, and
such a man is not made of the same
clay that ! am, and thank God for it,
If Mr.. Harris was that kind of a
friend, and that he was, is fact that
now rings throughout the southwest,
his name is one which should be
kept iii memory as am example, wor-
thy of emulation. In his code, friend
ship seems to have been something
more than name, and not,
"A shade that follows wealth or fame,
But leaves the wretch to weep
If what Mr.. Carleton says is true,
and we have no reson to doubt it,
we think the breed Of such friends

keep alive correct ideas Of friendship,
and to convince the cynical part of
mankind that it is not merely name.

OsCEOIA, ARKANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30 1881

The Memphis Appeal and the L.
r. Democrat are waging furious,
and wordy war; over the alleged
favoritism shown the Quapau Gaurds
in the recent contest drill, between
the Porter Guards, of Memphis, and
the Quapaw's Of Little Rock; but as
the two companies are widely sepa-
rated; we do not apprehend very
bloody battle. This inky engage
ment, however, reminds us of copy
our teacher used to set for us in our
boyhood days: "The pen" etc.

ON Thursday goth inst, one hun
dred years ago, at Yorktown, Va,
the active hostilities of the revolution
airy war came to an end, by the sur
render Of Lord CORVALLIS and his
army to the General commanding
the American troops and their French
allies. The centennial of the sur
render was celebrated by appropriate
ceremonies. The president and sew
eral members of his cabinet, togeth-
er with most of the foreign ministers
resident at Washington, and a large
number of distinguished visitors from
abroad, were present.

An exchange says; "Among the
names of other distinguished attor-
neys, Mr.. Scoville suggested the en-
ploying Of Bob lngersoll as counsel
in the case, but Guiteau objected
and refused to have him on religious
grounds Many things have been
said against Ingersoll that were cal
culated to crush him, but this refusal
Of Guiteau to employ him as counsel
is the most unkindest cut of all /"

True Bravery.

True bravery does not alone con
sist in an absence of fear in the face
of danger, nor in reckless disregard
for ones life in personal conflict, nor
in meeting an equal or superior adj
versary with dauntless frmncss.
Whilst Washington, Napoleon, Wei
lington, and perhaps Stonewall Jack
son, may be classed as among the
bravest soldiers of any age since the
worlds civilization, possessing all Of
these qualities in the highest degree
yet it was not these alone that made
them great. Many who sleep far
out in the dark bosom of oblivion's
slum bearing ocean possessed these
qualities in an equal degree with the
bright stars that adorn the ages and
generations that make up the past
history of the world. True bravery
consists in those genuine sterling
qualities that impart to man the true
fortitude to stand up in the face of
the world surrounded by any and
all circumstances, and battle for
truth and justice to stamp out the
alluring lights of temptation, and
with true and unfaltering devotion,
fight down vice and error in all its
hideous shapes and forms. These
are the qualities that raised Wash
ington and all his distinguished COM
peers and elevated them far above
those deeds of daring ON the crimson
fields of carnage and blood. No, by
no means are we required to wait
and sigh for an armed contest or a
bloody field to win the glittering
prize Of true bravery. We are all |
soldiers enlisted in the grand army,
fighting the battles of life, surround
ed by the most subtle and dangerous
enemies that ever confronted COM
bined armies, dangerous in every
strategic sense. These enemies are
the temptation that constantly lie in
ambush and beset us all along the
walks of life in every. vocation, in
every transaction. The merchant,
the farmer, the lawyer, the doctor, the
minister and the laymen, in all their
acts and doings, are constantly CON
fronted by these dangerous enemies,
made up Of temptations alluring
band. 1t is here, young man and |
young lady, where your true valor,
your genuine bravery is put to test.
Here is the grand victory for you to
win, here is the field for you to Sc
cure the prize of true brsvery-in
the contest between vice and virtue,
between truth and error, between
Justice and inequity, between honesty |
and dishonesty, between morality |
and immortality, between pride and
humiliiy-this field call forth all
your true manhood, and if in the CON
test you are able to win you ARE
TRULY BRAVE, and be assured that |
the fair Goddess of Fame is ready |
to adorn your brow with the bright
est CROWN Elevator.

Cotton OfAai CLINE Grow.
Ing in a single Field.

Ing fn q single Field.
81 would ride a thousand miles
any day." said Colonel Ben Lockett,
the great cotton planter of Georgia,
renectively, as he leaned over the
plank fence at the exposition grounds
yesterday, to see this little field of
cotton, and no cotton planter in the
South ought to fail to see it, as it is
probably sight that he can never
look on again, and which has never
been seen in this country before. :"
The Colonel was looking into the
field of cotton collected from all parts
of the world, growing as it is grown
in its native country, and it was this
that called forth his enthusiastic
praise. The field is really marvel
of agriculture. 1t is an enclosure of
very few acres, where, growing
side by side, can be seen every vari-
ETY. Of cotton plant that can be grown
upon this earth. There is cotton
from India, from Hindoostan, China
from Japan, from Australia, the north
coast of Africa, Brazil, Chill, and the
South Sea Islands, the Cape of Good
Hope, Mexico, Central America,
Bombay, and every other climate in
which the cotton plant has ever been
grown. Each plant preserves its
characteristics admirably, and side
by side may be seen cotton with the
perfectly red flower growing ten feet
high, and the stalk with perfectly
blue flowers growing less than two
feet high. There is the queer Chi
nese cotton with a pinched, contract
ed look, that marks everything that
comes from that country; the Peru
vian cotton with its flowers of indigo
and its small bolls; the Indian cotton
with its tropical appearance, but inn
perfect fruitage, and all of them with
their various marks crowned by a
few rows Of our own, king of them
all. The collection of seed for this
field was a matter of great painstak
ing and expense. Mr.. 5. NJ. Inman,
who had charge of the matter, was
months getting correspondents in
various quarters Of the globo that he
could rely upon to send the perfectly
pure and virile specimen Of the ma
tive seed. The dispatches necessary
to reach the merchants in some OF the
remote quarters Of the earth cost over
5000 for the simple transmitting of
his wishes and the reply thereto.
In every case the seed arrived in
time and is a wonderful tribute to the
climate and soil of Georgia that not
a single variety failed to sprout and
come to full maturity upon our soil.
The sight is one that, as Colonel
Lockett said, will probably never be
looked upon in this world again, as
it has certainly never been before,
and no visitor should fail to see it.
Cognate to this, and part of the
same exhibition, are bales and bags,
and packages of cotton, received from
every country in which cotton is ham
died, packed, or baled, in the manner
peculiar to each country. This ex-
hibition of itself, is a wonderful one,
and shows that while the South may
be ahead of all other sections in
growing cotton there are older if not
wiser people who know how to pack
it better. These two exhibitions of
cotton culture and packing are alone
worth trip to the exposition. At
lanta Constitution.

In the Grocer Of Nov. 5th, we reprinted
from the New York Journal of Csnzul-7-re an
account Of case then pending in the United
States Circuit Court IN that city in which the
valuations which should be set By the Gus
toms authorities on foreign silver was the
question at issue. Since that tine the case
has been decided in favor Of the Collector of
the port Of New York, the defendant in the
case. The Judge IN rendering his decision
took the ground that there can be no iuaairy
into the method pursued by the Director Of the
Mint In determining the value Of the Mexican
silver dollar, inasmGeh as the Secretary Of
the Treasury has proclaimed the value esii-
mated by the Director to Re the value for tie
purposes Of collecting Customs duties. The
Mint Director, in this case, compared the Mex
Iean silver dollar, as pure silver, with the
American silver dollar, which was made a
legal tender IN ISIS. He reported the value
As one dollar ard one and fve-tenfhs cents.
