Badly Burnt,

Peter MacFarlane, brakeman on
the Central Pacific Railroad. met
with a sad accident early yesterday
morning while coming eastward
with his freight train. Mr.. Mac
Farlane was in search of tramps
whom he thought were on the train
and happened to see something out
Of place on an oil tank and ap'
preached with the intention of in
vestigating, holding his lamp up SC
as to obtain good view. The gases
that issued from the tank, coming
IN contact with the lamp, exploded
with such force as to throw Mr..
MacF arlane from the tank a dis
lance of about ten feet, burning his
face and wrists-his hands being
protected by the gloves he was wear
ing-so badly as to make him nearly
unacceptable on account of the
swelling. He was brought into Og-
den last evening.-Ogden Pilot.

CATCHING THE STEAMERS
 EYE

The other day congressman in troduced an amendment to the rules of the house providing that the Speaker recognize the members in
 the order of their names. It ap- pears that at present the Speaker can recognize whom he pleases, and has confined himself to 8 select few. Four, ifths of the members have been systematically ignored, and when the amendment was offered they were prepared to rush it through by large majority; but the favorltes filibustered, and finally the amendment was referred to the com. mittee on rules. But it will pass without any doubt. Some of the members have been in congress sev. eral years and have never been able to get recognized. One member said he had caught everything in Washington except the speakers

Late issues of the Indianapolis Sentinel contain some very intesting letters from Luther Benson relating to the condition of affairs in Arkan- sss as he found them, and the fol lowing paragraph is so full of truth and justice that we make room for it in our crowded columns: "The fact IS, the good people st the South are most infamously lied on, sian dercd and wronged. I say good peo pie, that does not express the half of is. For kindness, for generosity for all the grand and noble qualities that make man what he ought to be, they stand tall and stately giants and when the good Christians oNhs North get to heaven, they will N surprised at the number of Southern Christians that will greet them robed, harped and crowned to sing with them forever, hosannas to Him that knew not hate.

THE TEMPERANCE MOVE
 MENT.

The rapid growth of public senti- ment in this state against the on. sweeping tide of intemperance is being made manifest every day, by urgent appeals from every section of the state to members of the legis- lsture, and through the local press, for stringent and effective legislation upon this question.
 A well informed correspondent of the Searcy Beacon presents the ease in the following truthful language:
 "I have watched the progress of the temperance movement in Arkan- sss during the last two years very closely and with the deepest interest and l am fully convinced, that the cause has rapidly advanced and is still gaining ground daily. Men are beginning to think seriously upon this subject; they are beginning to reflect upon the appalling results uilb NhCSes VI bhS iiHuOl bi sllliC upon this country, and what it is to lead to, they are beginning to see this monster evil in it's true light and are awakening to the necessity of some action to stop it's rulnous course. And well they may, for if ever a people felt the need to have the curse removed, the people of this country need to be relieved from this curse of Alcohol. No other evil that can be mentioned is half so great and so detrimental to human happiness and prosperity as thls Having once gained a hold upon it's myriad victims, this demon, strong drink, is tightening its grasp year by year, and will continue so to do urless some means can be devised to loosen it."
 On this subject the Gazette of the 18th inst. contains the following editorial mention:
 "Messures prohibiting the sale or giving away of intoxicating bever. ages within three miles of country schoolhouses meet with little oppo sltion in the legislature. The senti msnt in favor of temperance is very strong"

SUPREME COURT DECISION.

From the Gazette of the 1lth inst we take the following: Hale vs. Stats-Error to Pope county
 circuit court.
 Opinion by English, c. J.:
 Defendant brought writ of error upon his conviction in the court be low for selling liquor to a minor The ground of his motion for new trial, which was overruled, was that the verdict was not warranted by the evidence.
 HELD: That the state made 8 prima facie case, and in the absence Of rebatsing evidence the verdict was warranted, The facts and cir cumstances tend to prove an unau- thorized sale of whisky to a minor, and were for the jury to pass upon.

CONGRESSIONAL AMENI-
 TIES

A conversation recently took place in the senate between Senator Conk- ling, of New York and Senator But Ter, of South Carolina, that had the genuine ring" about it. Butler auo- ted from the report of Secretary Schurz, showing that the census of South Carolina had been honestly taken, and then quoted from Cenk ling's campaign speeches, showing that great frauds had been com. mitted. He then warmed It to Conk- ling for fifteen minutes, without once mentioning his name. Conkllng jumped up and said "the vaporings of the South Corolina Senator" were nothing to him. Butler said the "swaggsring insoIence of the Sena tor from New York" were as nothing to him, and there the matter rests for the present. No man knows what will be the result, but until some settlement is arrived at the strain upon the country will be se- were

It appears that Hayes has bee

It appears that Hayes has been in the habit of drawing his salary in advance in order to have the use of the money, and the matter has been kept secret until recently, when somebody at the treasury gave fl away. Mir. Hays was very angry when he found his weakness had been exposed, aad has been hunting up the person who told on him with a view of bouncing him out Where upon 6 Washington paper remarks "And this is the civil service reform CT! This is the man who has prated long and loudly fer the need ofgreat- CT purity and stricter compliance with the laws in all the departments. This is the psalm-singer who affects the society of godly men, and whose sycophsntic admirers laud him for the purity of his administration. This, in short, is R. E. Hayes" :" The very same.

The Pine Bluff Press very prop erly and wisely offers the following suggestions:
 "An immigration society is needed in every county in Arkansas, and the people should make liberal dona- tions to enable these societies to offer the proper inducements to those who desire to permanently locate ia the state. Money could not be expend- ed in & more beneficial way, as an increase of population will insure increased wealth and prosperity"

The State officials at Little Roc

The State officials at Little Rock have just discovered that the state has in it's own right title clear to q twenty acre tract of land bought twenty three years ago Tor 2 site for lunatic asylum. The state is lucky in owning two sites and having another offered free of cost. The legislature would save both time and money and do a sensi- ble thing by locating the asylum at Little Rock, that the work of erect ing it may be begun as soon as possible.

Mir. Davis, of Yell, introduced a bill to aid in constructing the south side short line railway.

 Also, an act to amend certain sec tions of the law of foreible entry and detainer.

The law now stands that the land commissioner shall have the selling of the lands, but there is no law di recting how the proceeds of the lands shall be applied.
