public speech was acknowledging
the honor of his election to the
United States Senate, he alluded to
the votes that had been cast for him
by Democrats, and said: "The flow

of these flowers will be woven some

THE death of President Garfield
having occurred in New Jersey, it
is claimed that the crime of Guiteau
is brought within the jurisdiction of
that State, as her statutes prescribe
that in case of any person being
feloniously stricken or poisoned at
any place out of the State, and dy-
ing of such cause within the iuris-
diction of the State, an Indictment
found in the county in which the
death takes place shall be good and
effectual. 1t is to be hoped, for
many obvious reasons, that this con-
struction of the law will be found
applicable in the case of Guiteau

Charleston Ark indicator.
Although far advanced in civiliza.
ton Arkansaw still has her adyen-
lures and romances. Just three miles
southeast Of Charleston lives Maynard
Chilean, the father of buxom TWEEN
ty-two year old lass. Like all other
maidens, Mary-for that was her
name-had a beau. His name was
ha-lie-Charley Stoyer-a romantic
name-snd the twain wished
to become one. Mary's mother
objected, however and upon hearing
such doleful news the poor girl was
AL broke up." Her lover would not
be dauptvd, and by dint of cunning
he arranged plot for her escape, to
which she gladly consented. He
secured his accomplices, and after
getting near the house all approached
quietly and cautiously to allay sus-
picion. Mary was on the qui vive-
the signal was given, she left and
stealthily moved toward them, and as
she was being securely seated behind
on the princely steed OF her knight
the wicked left eye OF the old lady
spied something not altogether healthy
Running out and heaping an
athemas upon the heads of the young
men, she excitedly made grab at her
daughter, who powerfully resisted. In
the scufHe Mary was Invested OF every
stitch Of clothing, leaving her without
even a fig leaf to cover her nude form.
One of Charities friends, Mack Brock
er, bad the presence of mind to throw
riding skirt over her, and in his effort
to hurry her oft the mother assailed
him and tore from his back a bran new
coat. In the meantime Slower and the
girls brother had a "sct.to," in which
the former got severe cut in the face
with a rock. The stronger eventually
became victors and bore off the prize.
On their way to Greenwood they
stopped at the house Of the girls
cousin, where she soon made up an
impromptu trosseau, shortly after
which she became Mrs. StoYer in the
presence Of few interested friends.
The next day the parents came ia
town and reported the case. The trial
was set for 10 o'clock Wednesday
The witnesses put in no appearance
and for want Of evidence the parties
we're dismissed aud peacefully started
for home, and are now awaiting tht
forgiveness of the old folks TO com
plete their cup Of happiness.

W1THERsPooN, Ark, August TO- 1881
We are credibly informed that IF
teen miles northeast of here, on
Greasy creek, one of the greatest and
most miraculous springs has recently
been discovered, on record. We have
not been to see them, but our inform
ant, good citizen and a Baptist
preacher Of celebrity, tells us what he
saw. Parson John r. Yeats was at
the springs last week, and he says the
spring flows from a mountain about
400 feet high, comes out of the ground
about 100 feet from the top of the
mountain on the north side, and flows
at the rate of about forty gallons per
minute, and is the color Of apple cider,
and tastes just like apple brandy, and
has the same effect. Those under the
influence Of the water are perfectly
ecstatic, and hugging and loving every
thing they meet. He says; g never
saw the like, children, boys and girls
hugging and kissing everyone they
meet" Old men and old women,
young men and young ladies, embrac-
ing each other by hugging and kissing.
met an old white headed man and
woman-I suppose, about eighty years
old-and they we're hopping and
skipping like lambs. / saw hundreds
lying around the spring SO drunk that
they could not stand up and they were
lying and laughing and trying to slap
their hands. The people call them
the Millennium Springs. "
Commenting upon the above the
Gazette remarks;
A correspondent writing from With
erspoon, Arkansas, announces-on the
authority Of Rev. John r. Yeats
the discovery of spring which walks
straight up head. The water gushing
from the mountain is the color Of APP
pie cider, and the taste is not unlike
apple brandy. 1t produces a wonder
full effect upon those who quench their
thirst Herewith. They bee )me very
loving aud hug and kiss each other
in fact, everybody they meet-While
under its influence. Now, this is the
place for fashionable summer resort.
a charge per diem of 5000 by the ho-
tel keepers could not keep away the
young men Of the country. Little
Rock would be depopulated OF unmar-

are not certain that the married men

GUS story-elsewhere printed-be true,

dene of his brother in-law, James A.

was broken and he received injuries
internal which his old age could not
rally from. Mr.. Burns was a well

was river engineer, and his reputa'

we're always claimed. He had served
on all the Western waters, and had
many friends all along the river and

The Memphis and Charleston
Railroad.

1t has been rumored here for sever
al days past that syndicate had been
formed in New York for the purchase
ola majority of the stock in the Mem
phis and Charleston railroad, on
which the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia railroad has lease. 1t
was also reported that the lease would
not bear the test Of the courts, and
that it could be broken at any time.
1t is reliably stated that the Louis
vile and Nashville railway, as a com
pany, had not purchased it, as rumor-
ed, but that strong friends of the line
had purchased a controlling interest
10 the stock and that they will force
an issue on the question of the lease
at the next meeting Of
the stockholders. But the
East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad Company has denied
them to make the test and abrogate
the lease if they so desire, asserting
that the Memphis and Charleston
road is more in need of their line than
their road of it; that their System is
complete without the Memphis and
Charleston railroad, having as it does
alineto Meridian, Mississippi, through
which more direct connection can be
made with Texas lines than via the
Memphis and Charleston railroad
The Memphis and Charleston abroad
pool would seem to be in a predica
ment, and if they by a suit at Law
abrogate the lease, that road would
have to be run as an Independent line
and will have to be more or less de-
pendent on the East Tennessee, Vir
ginia and Georgia road for passenger
and freights going East and West.
