wives may not know how materially
the effects Of hard and soft water differ
In the cooking Of various vegetables :
whilo one species Of vegetables re-.

may be, another species becomes sem

boil tender because these substances
harden vegetable caseine. In soft
water they boil tender, and lose a GER
tain raw, rank taste, which they re-
tain In hard water. Many vege ;ables
Gas onions) boil nearly tasteless in
soft water, because all the flavor Is
dissolved out. The addition of salt
often checks this, as in the case with
onions. causing the vegetables to re-
tain their peculiar tlavoring princi-
pies, besides much nutritious matter
which might be lost in soft water,
Thus it appears that tho salt hardcns

soup, soft water, un ,alted and cold at

pehetrates the tissues; but for boiling
meats where the Juices should be re-
talleo, fard water Is preferable, and
thc meat should be put in while 1t Is

ASSASSINATED. A

The trouble Tn Perry county has broken out afrssh. It will be remem- bersd . few wseks ago County Judge Harris and W. J. L. Matthews, edl- tor of the Fourchs Valley Times were ordered by band of outlaws tc leave the county. Affairs reached such . crisis that Gsv. Churchill sent Gen. Newton, commander of the State militia, to the scene to inves- tigats matters.
 A truce was temporarily effected which was broken on the 21st inst, by the cowardly assassination oi Matthews. The Gazstts's Morril. ton special of that date says mes. sengsr from Perryvilla arrived ., daylight that morning for a doctor to attend Matthews. the editor of the Times, who was shot at g o'clock in front of his office. Eighteen buck shot took effect in the left side and arm.
 Matthews and his printer had been out to the well for water and were returning 10 the office, the Prin ter being in the lead and on the eve of opening the dsor Matthews was just behind when the shot was fired and Matthews fell. A man was seen running of but could not bs rscog. nized. A notice was left at the resi-. dencs of Judge Harris, advising that gentleman to leave the county. A later dispatch announced the death of Matthevs.

MORE PRISONERS FREE.

Information reached here Monday morning that four out of the eight prisoners confined in the Yell county iail at Danville had succeeded in making their escape Sunday night by using . wooden key to unlock enc door and burning through an other. The escaped prisoners were Burcham and Bruce, murderers and two safe robbers. One other safe robbsr was caught in tho act of es- saping by guard who happened upon the scene just at the time. At this writing ws have no particulars of the escape, but feel safe in say ing that criminal negligence on the part of the jail guards is at tho bot tom of the whole of it. In the face of the recent disgracsiul con niving at the release of criminals by the Franklin county officials, II seems that the officers of Yell coun- ty should have made it impossible for an escape to be effected by the criminals of that county. But they did not do it. and full measure ei csnsurs will be heapsd upon them by an outraged public.

Billiards Medical Monthly, of New York, pronounced one of the best medical authorities of the day, accuses the Prssident's physicians of grave interpretations as to the gravity of the wound. Drs. Dungan and Jennings, of Little Rock, agree with Dr. Gilliard, that the attending physicians have taken advantage of an opportunity to wait themselves in. to national fame at the sxpsnse of . slightly woendsd President. The truth or falsity of the charges made may never bs proven, but If an i'm position has been praeticsd upon the public it cannot be tso severely con, demned.

The reservation only sx. ists on those lands, not as fact but as | matter of abstract political law. It requires the same power to remove . reservation that it did to create it; hence the Secretary when he gave that decision stated that Congress should enact . law taking of the Reservation and at the same time protect the rights of settlers on the Reservation.

On last Wednesday, the 10th inst, in company with the Rev. Mir. Dod- son and the Senior Editor of the DEMOCRAT, we set out for higher eli mates and health giving waters. Af- ter travelling some two miles west, ws found ourselves at the foot of Norristown mountain, which cres- cent shaped, nsstlss in the beautiful little city of Russellvills, protecting it alike from the poisonous south west winds and dsvouring storm blast, These mountains are about 300 Feet above the valley, with the crest along the northern side. Find ing an excellent buggy-way ws soon placed ourselves on the summit, and alighting from our buggiss, we took . view of the lovely landscape below, level plain with city in the midst oft. This valley seems to be sur rounded by succession of hills and mountains, each one in the rear ris. ing higher as if to look upon the ia versd valley that supports "ths best town in Arkansas."
 From this point we took the Clarks- vills road westward with q gentle slope through some fins looking lands. covered with good timber, clear of slate and surface rocks, and well adapted ts fruit growing.

And not until the senti. ment expressed finds lodging place in the heart of every official in the state, from governor to constable, will cease the epidemic of crime new prevailing in this state and fast tar. nIshing its reputation for law and order. The Argus says:
 "The certainty of punishment for q violation of law is tho anchor ot public safety and order. The loop. holes of lhs law are growing too plentiful, by far. Crime is on the increase, and immunity from pun ishment is the chief cause. The psrdoning power is a necessity, but it's abuse is discouragement to iuries, courts and prosecuting attor. neys.'
