A ApportiOnment of the State
 School Fund.

State Superintendent Denton has just apportioned the state school fund. This entelligence will be highly gratifying to school officers, teachers and the friends of public education. The apportionment was made at the earliest practicable mo- ment. If it had been made the first day of July, the amount would have been about $l55, ,000, instead of over $Is3,0OO
 No apportionment was made in 1879, 1880 and 1881, because the amounts in the state treasury were too small for distribution. The state superintendent has acted wise ly In apportioning the school fund annually, instead Of semi annually. To have distributed a few thousand dollars in January of each year, would have been both wastsful and foolish, It was much better to wait until there was an amount large enough to do some good. There was no inducements for Mir. Denton to delay the apportionment day lon ger than was absolutely necessary Little Rock Democrat.

There were fva deaths in Dover township last week. Mir. Davis, living oyer the Bayou lost his wife. On Friday Mr. Isaac Hatley lost his wife and little grand child. A little over twelve months ago Mir. Hatlsy lost . married daughter and a son, a young man about grown. His afiictions are sore and try Ing. and indeed this time his cup of sorrow has been full.

In Favor of the Revision.

Rev. Philip Schoff, D. D., l.. L. D. of New York, lectured in the amphi- thsator on the rivision of the Holy Scriptures, and as the doctor was one of the prominent members of the American committee for the revision, an unusually large crowd gathered to hear him. The doctor, in refer encs to the assistance of the late czar of Russia in procuring the Semitic man uscript, denounced the internal work of the assassin, in which he differed from Wendell Phillips, who, two days before the assassination of the president, had glorified in nihil- ism in the presence of college so- ciety in Boston. This he pronoun ced ss disgraceful uttcrsnee and was promptly and stoutly applsuded by tho audience. The oldest msnu- script was written in 320, and was now in St. Petersburg. The doctor said tho new translation was choi cest, purest and most accurate of all others--clearer from errors of trans. lation, and was the product of the most advanced scholars of the sins. tesnth century.

VALLEY SPRINGS.
VALLEY SPRINGS, Boone Co.,, Ark,
 Auousf II 1Q21

August II, 1881.
 Editors Russeliville Democrat:
 You will see from this that I am at Valley Springs, which Is 1 assure you, very pleasant place to spend few weeks and partake of the healthful and eaergizing waters that burst forth from the lime stone cliffs. Russell ville is we'll represented here now. We have Ava and Lawrence Russell, A. W. McAnsllv, Philip Reese and my self and family all boarding at one house. This is quite nice little vil- lage, strictly moral and inviting in every respect. I visited the Elixer Springs yesterday. These springs were discovered only few months ago, are situated fourteen miles north east of Bellfonte, Boone county, Arkansas. It is claimed for these springs that the water Is exactly the same as the Eureka, and many persons who havo visited both places very readily express that belief. There is I think about 800 people at this spring. though they claim to have 800. There has been some 300 lots sold and think something like 100 houses built at Elixir In the past 60 days, among the rest two very good ho- tels, two store houses (which are now being used as family grocery stores,) and two livery stables. Tho water is & dead shot to sore eyes, sore legs, rheu- matism, and they claim it to be sure cure for lazinsss. These springs are prettily situated, and easy of access from this place and I believe will real ly come Into general notice and usc next season. Crops are suffering very much hero for rain; wheat crop very good, but corn and cotton will be short.

Respect for the Sick and Dead. Editors Russsllville Democrat:

It Is source of joy to casual obser>
 yer, and more especially SO to one who feels interested M citizen. to note
 with delight the concourse of people
 who attend the burial of the dead in
 your lovely town. The writer has of> ten been called upon at various times,
 within a radius of 60 miles to perform
 burial service. It has frequently been
 the case that the deceased was an entire stranger. To the pure in heart that
 word "stranger" is obsolete. But one blood courses the vein of humanity, and
 he who In any way lets that cannot
 wash the stain off. But the sad truth Is as ws have often witnessed, while as & general rule, but few attend the burial of those called strangers, for want of help, we have seen the close blood kin take hold of coffin and spade, that their dead might have decent iRterment.
 A few days since a late citizen, who by the way, has added somewhat to the moral and material stock of your town, said to the writer: 1 have travelled a good Zeal, have been sick at various places, but that Is the first place to which become identified as a citizen, wen by the many acts of kindness shown me as strangar by that people during a severe spell of sickness which had on my first visit to the place. For that reason. he added, If from no other would rather livethere, or be sick there, than any place I eyer saw. The writer is glad that that spirit is here as it should be everywhere. Every man. woman and child may be said to keep that immortal saying of the sinner>sav- CT, recorded first by St. Mathew, XIV, 36, 'I was sick Gin the person of hu- man being,) and ye looked upon me-" No one can visit the sick by proxy, as to "look upon" means to be where the sick subject is.
 But to return; after every attention, both by nurses and physicians, a stran- ger, Ga drummer) died at the Russell vile House Saturday. 18th inst., at 6 o'clock, p. m. Prudence dictated that the body of the deceased should be buried as early as practicable Sunday morning. Owing to the excessive heat and clouds of dust, the landlord fearing that but few of the citizens would turn out to the burial, requested every enc to gs who could leave the house. It was truly gratifying to the host. and mem bsrs of tho house to find on arriv> Ing at the city cemetery, more thaa 200 persons, of all ages and vacations, at the grave of the stranger. It made one think and feel that though strangers in life, we are all friends in death. The writer never did believe that at a burying or at church were proper places for general topics of con versation. XIX.
