 Your correspondent made pleas ant scjourn in Russellville of few hours duration. While here we made ourselves quite numerous, and took in the town, as it were. Among other pleasant calls, we drop ped iu on Brother lobe, of the DEMO GRAF, whom we found, like his pa tient namesake, toiling in the inter est of the ''dear pub!ic.' A visit to the mills of L. NJ. Smith found the man of uncommon coguuNen busy supervising the makings or grist mill. planer and cotton gin; and he appeared to be doing good busi ness, notwithstanding the short crop and drouth in the country. He re ports having ginne6 and put up 40s bales to date. and is confident q being able to handle 100 more ere the season is over. The. fleecy sta pie brings from eight to sloven cents in the Russeltsills market just now; the most of it is middling and the average price being from nine and half to ten cents. The acreage sown in wheat, in this part of Arkan' sas, is said to be greater than erel before, and the indications are that hard times will come no more when more oi this is done. Russellville find shipping point of some impor- tance. The shipment by rail ofRot- ton for the present season common cling September l, 1881, is 5,4l3 bales. This does rot compare with that of last year by 2,000 bales, Tue yearly shipments for 1879 and 1880 averaged l9,500 bales, var
 ing very little in either seasons, From gentleman whe is in posi- tion to know, we are informed, that this years crop will fall short by one half. He does not think that this place VIII be ableto swell her ship ments to 10000 bales this season, A number of new building are going up, but they are mostly dwellings, This town is the jumping of place for Dardanelle, and is indebted to the city on the river for cons.dera- ble portion of it business.

This Preservatiye is not liquid, pickle. or auy of the old exploded pro- cesses, but is simply and purely OZONE ns produced and applied by an entirely new process. Ozone is the antiseptic principle of every substance, and pos sesses the power to preserve animal and vegetable structures from decay.
 There is nothing on the face of the earth liable to decay or spoil which ozone, the new preservatiyc, will not preserve for all time in a perfectly fresh and palatable condition.
 The value of Ozone as natural pres server has been known to our abler chemists for years, but, until now, no. means of producing it in practical, inexpensive. and simple manner have been discovered.
 Microscopic observations prove that decay is due to septic matter or minute germs, that develop and feed upon annimal and vegetable structures. Ozone, applied by the prentiss method, seizes and destroys these germs at once, and thus preserves. At our offices i'll Cincinnati can be seen. almost every article that can be though. of, prcser- ved by this process, and every visitor is welcome to come in, taste and smell, take away with him aI.d test in every way the merits of Ozone as a prescrya-. tive. We will also preserve, free of charge, any article that is brought or sent prepaid to us, and retur1sit to the sender, for him to keep and test.
 FRESH MEATS such as beef, nut ion, veal, pork or poultry. game fish, Ssc., preserved by this method, can be shipped to Europe, and subjected to atmospheric changes ana return.fo this ; country in stattof perfect preserva- ton.
 EGGS can be treated at cost ofAess than one dollar thousand dozen, and be kept in an ordinary room six mopttzs or more, thoroughly preserved ,fiie yolk held in it's normal conditiotSyand the eggs as fresh and perfaet as on the day they were treated, and will sell as stnctly "choice." The advantage in preserving eggs isercalily seen, there or seasons when they can be bought for or 10 cents dozen, and by holding them, can be sold for an advance Of from one hundred to three hundred per cent. One man. with this method, i, can nreserye 5. 600 dozen day.

 BUTTER, after being treated by this process, will not become raucid.
 Dead human bodies, treated before dec omposition sets in, can be held in a natural condition Ter weeks without puncturing the skin or mutilating the body in any way. Hence the great value of Ozone to Iindertakers.

The Mountain Mahogany.

We have in the state of Nevada a
wonderful wood known as 6 mountain
mahogany" The trees do not grow
large. A tree with a trunk a foot in
diameter is much above the average,
When dry the wood is about as hard
as lockwood, and, being of very
fine grain, might, no doubt, be used for
the same purposes. It's of a rich, red
color, and very heavy. When we'll
seasoned it would be a fine material
for the wood carver. In the early days
it was used in making boxes for shaft
ing, and in a few instances, for shoes
and dies in a quartz battery. Used as
a fuel it creates intense heat. Itburns
with blaze as long as ordinary wood
would last. and is then found almost
unchanged in form) converted to a
charcoal that lasts abaut twice as long
as ordinary wood. For fuel it sells
much higher than any kind of wood !;
indeed, cord of it always brings the
same price as ton of coal. The only
objection to it as a fuel is that it
creates snch an intense heat as to burn
out stoves more rapidly than any kind
of coal, however bad Territorial

How We Abuse Our Horses.

If we say that of all brute animals
none is more valuable to man than
the horse, and that the neglect Of any
means which may promote and insure
his welfare and efficiency is a blunder
not easily disting uishable from crime,
we may fairly be charged with utter
ing truisms. If we urge that this value
is not recognized as it should be,
and that this neglect is miserably
common, we may still be accused
of wasting breath on statements
which no one would think Of calling
into question. Every one, we may be
told, is well aware that the manage
ment Of horses is very faulty, that
their lives are shortened by the ignor-
ance of those who have charge of
them rather than by any cruelty, and
they are rendered practically useless
long before their existance is brought
to an end. To the plea that the same,
or much the same, things may be said
Of men as of horses, we may answer
that the blame must be apportioned
to the degree Of carelessness with
which evils affecting either men or.
horses are allowed to go on unchecked,
or are foolishly dealt with; nor can
failure to improve the condition of
mankind furnish a reason for refusing
to do what may improve the condition
Of horses.

the broken looking glass reflect broad
hands of light. Suddenly the man is
himself: again. The dream is finished.
He sees again his empty chamber and
its naked walls. There is nothing left
Of his debauch but the most heart.
sickening disgust; his eyelids are red !.
his teeth soft; his mouth sticky; his
skin burning hot, and dry as parch-y
ment the forehead moist with sweat.
Again and for the last time he carries
the bottle to his lips. Suddenly he
stops short. The liquor has reached
its end. With a gesture Of impatience
the bottle is carried hastily behind
him, and he throws it with all his
strength against the wall; it falls,
broken into a thousand fragments.
The dregs, as they run glistening down
the dirty wall, leave stain like that
of blood. He no longer appears to-
notice the old chair, but seats himself
upon the floor, and gaZes long and list
lessly at the shivered fragments of the
bottle, shining in the morning sun.
Abstractedly, mechanically, he
reaches out his hand, and picks up
one Of these fragments. How bright.
how sharp, how needle like; God for
give him! what is he doing? The
conclusive shuddering of that poor,
weak frame, the blue, trembling lips.
tell the story, alas, too well! Oh, the
agony Of that uplifted face! Those.
poor, glazed eyes that even now are
looking their last, and that bright
crimson thread on the dirty floor,
show too plainly that the poor, drunk.
en-, diseased mind has caused the sui
cidal hand to do it's work.
The sun still sends his beams Of
light into the dark old room, and
through the broken windows comes
the sound of busy traffic. The day;
outside is bright land beautiful. There
is little park across the way with
green turf and beds of variegated
flowers, with little clumps of shrub
berry, and islands of graceful birch and
maple, their tops nodding and bending
in the breeze. A fountain filings down
it's spray and little children, playing
in the sweet sunshine, fill the air with
music. 'sStill the fleet hours run on !''
And that poor, nameless, lifeless thing
lies there on the bare floor, watched
only by the swallows joyfully fitting
in and out the broken windows. Sleep
on, poor soul! "Here hast thou fall
en- unnoticed - No human eye to look
upon thee no loving arms to take thee
in their last embrace. After a time
men will come and open the old room,
and learn the lesson which it holds
in store for them. Then will that
poor, weak body, and that broken bot
tie do some good at last For, togeth-
er, they will preach a sermon, old as
the hills and ancient as the sun; here
it is; he who runs may read: g Look
not thou upon the wine when it is red,
when it giveth it's color in the cup,
when it moveth itself Alright, for at
the last, it biteth like a serpent and
stingeth like an adder!''
