make him up as much as 25 dollars
per month; nor did said Ramey 60
around to work for either Mowry or
himself; so you see, Mr.. Rambler, it
is a falschood all through; Il can
substantiate what l say). And as
to crops, we have what | and the old
settlers would call second class
crops, except what is on the John
Bowen place; it has the worst | ever
saw; it is planted all in corn, and
will not make twenty bushels per
acre. a turkey gobler can stand
fiat footed and pick corn Off the ears
and the stalk standing straight.
And that story about the roads
being good: Rambler must have in
tended that as a joke, because they
have not been worked this year; the
oyerseers had better work them soon.
And now a word as to Mr.. Johna-
than Martins fine residence: 1t is, or
will be very good tenement house,
built of hcwn logs, and good enough
for country building, the only
drawback to complete it is that he
will have to send to Memphis for
brick for chimneys. do not stick
myself up for a school teacher, news
paper correspondent, reporter nor
a blind tiger keeper, and hope this
will not affect your readers in the
same manner that Rambler's Com
munication did the citizens of this
neighborhood. Mr.. Bryant was so
disgustcd that he has concluded to
give up the school.

A. OBSERVER,

Johnson's Island, in Lake Erie,
was the principal military prison for
confederate officers during the war
nearly three hundred of whom are
buried there. The graves are neg
lected, the head boards fallen OF
gone, and the lettering on those re-
naming well nigh obliterated-Hot

The editor of the Ozark Democrat
will be one of a thousand or more
to give one dollar to have the graves
properly cared for. Pass the propo-
sition around, brethren. - Ozark
Democrat.
We have big fat silver dollar
that says we can second the motion,
Bro. Colburn.-Saline Courier.
Will not every editor in the state
give dollar and then solicit dollars
from their friends? Keep this mat
ter before the people until the mon
ey is raised. Let not those dead
soldiers, who died away from home
and loved ones and among strangers,
be forgotton.-Ozark Dem.
The editor of the OscEoLA TIMES
boarded on Johnson's Island at I'M
Gle Sans public feed trough about
six months. He saw several of the
boys in grey borne through the
prison gate feet foremost; some dy-

exposure on the tented field; others,
like Lieut.. Gibson, of Arkansas, and
Capt. Meadows, of Alabama, shot
down like dogs, by the brutal guards.

reached here TO the effect that
Joseph Hndgins had been shot and
killed by one William Lurnley, a
desperate character. The shooting
took place at a Fish fry, on Pemiscot
bayou, the particulars Of which, and
the cause leading to the shooting,
are about as follows:
Some four or FIVE years ago, dur
ing general drunken spree, Lum-
ley and Hudgins had a misunder-
standing, which resulted in Lumley's
knocking Hudgins down with pair
OF brass knucks and thcn kicking
him in the face with his boot heels,
until he was almost jelly, then
skipped the country. They had not
met since until last Saturday, when
Lumley, who halls from Dyer coun-
ty, Tenn, suddenly made his appear
ance at the fish fry, where Hudgins
and friends were enjoying them
selves. When Hudgins saw Lumly,
he went to him and tapping him on
the shoulder, said, "Let us go out
and settle our difficulty" They
started off and after walking few
steps, Lumley said, "This is far
enough;" "No," replied Hudgins,
"let's get away from the crowd"
and continued walking, and when
about twenty feet away from Lum-
ley, who had Jagged behind, he,
Lumley. pulled out his pistol and
without warning commenced shoot
ing. AT the first shot Hudgins start
ed to run, Lumlcy keeping up the
firing until four chambers of his
weapon had been emptied, three of
the four took effect in Hudgins body:
one entering the back, and passing
through the left lung made Its exit
in front near the nipple; another en-
tered the back near the left kidney,
and passing out near the groin; the
other passed through the left arm.
Hudgins was unarmed, except all or
dinary pocket knife, which was found
closed in his pocket. After the
shooting Lumley walked back, and
passing through the crowd, defed
everybody and the officers present;
then calling to one Henry Meisho,
asked him " If he would stand up to
him" Meisho replied, "Stand up to
you nothing! yondcr is my horse,
get on him and leave here" This
he lost no time in doing. Mounting
the horse, he left at full speed, with
pistol in hand, and threatening seve-
raj persons he met on the road. The
last heard of him was at Cottonwood
Point, Mo-, where he crossed over
the river into Tennessee. Sheriff
Haskins offers a reward of 500 for
his capture.
Henry Meisho was arrested on a
warrant issued by Squire Goad, as
an accessory after the crime, and
was admitted to bail in tho sum of
$1,000, in default of which he was
committed to jail.
AT last account, Joseph Hudgins
was still alive, but his attending
physicians have little hopes of his
recovery,

THg UNIVERSAL REmsDY.

The sublime faith that legislation may
be made the panacea of all ills was never
more strikingly manifested than by the
recent introduction OF. bill in the Lsgis.
lature to prohibit the use of stoves in pas
senger cars. This bill has its immediate
inspiration in the unfortunate accident at
Tehachapi. 1t should be known to the
author of this bill, as it is to every one
perhaps in the world but himself, that
railroad companies throughout the world
have sought industriously for substitutes
for stoves and coal oil lamps. II was the
danger from accidents by fire on railway
trains which promoted the chemical dis
coveries resulting in coal oil of a high fire
test. But no substitute has been found
for stoves, and il the author OF this bill
will only add a section providing that,
while stoves shall not under any circum.
stances be used, passengers travelling by
rail shall not be subject to discomfort from
cold, ne will have measure quite as rea.
sonable as that already introduced by him.

MR.. sEYmoUR's FAILURE.

A promised article by Hon. Horatio
Seymour on The political situation has
appeared in the North american ReUie,g.
1t proves that Mr.. Seymour in his
declining years and his retiracy has not
increased in wisdom. The political sagae-
ity once his has degenorated into a mere
growl al the things that are, snd a sigh for
the things that were. Reduced to word
or two, and Of which The essay permits, it
bemoans political degeneraoy, finds little
promise ia the outlook for the future. and
all evil in the Republican party. Central.
ization he deems the bane of the country,
and the subversion of State rights the
great danger impending. For all cur cor
ruption and degeneracy he has one rem.
edy-a return to strict construction of
the Constitution, and limitation of
the powers OF Congress. With singular
want of consistency he points out that
the political revolution of last
year was due not to local issues, causes,
or controversies, but to the determination
of the people to rebuke the heresy of cen.
tralization, in which they most signally
succeeded. Ii in this Mr.. Seymour is cor.
rect, then his wall over the decay of the
nation and its inability to correct abuses
through the usual governmental agencies,
IS causeless, for he has himself shown that
the people are equal to the task of personal
criticism and the rectifying of national
errors. TIE country had expected some.
thing better from Mr.. Seymour than the
recital of campaign generalitieq, and will
be disappointed in finding hin incapable
of dispasaionate non-partisaa analysis of
recent developments in our political sys-

ITHE FRgNcH SITUATION.

More than in any other civilized nation
do political faiths separate the people into
classes in France. Nowhere else does 20.
litical belief engender such personal ILL.,
feeling. Unlike the results of our system,
under which political antagonisms seldom
affect social relations, in France hatred is
largely concomitant OF partisan zeal.
This fact it is we'll to bear in mind when
reading of the struggles of factions in the
transatlantic republic. The threatened
revolution there does not seem to be MAX
ing advances, but the days are sufficiently
troublous to affect financial circles and
create an uneasiness that may develop into
far more serious concern. The interior
purpose of the visit of the ex Empress
was poorly concealed under the guise Of
sympathy for Jerome. The Bourbons,
Bonapartists and Orleanists are each cred.
tied with greater strength than they really
possess. The Monarchists and Imperialists
are divided into three jealous parties, and,
combined, have less than 2,OUO, OUO votes.
One of these parties has the cordial enmity
of the Church; the Republicans have D.
600 coo solid votes the Conservatives, out
OF the 100000 voters, number 6.0OO,-
600, and these desire 10 revolution, con.
slider only the soil and the debt, and attach
themselves seriously to no party. In the
Chamber, out Of $50 deputies, 457 are Re-
publiosns, end of the 90 departments 50
are Republican. In this situation we DO
not find serious menace to the republic. In
the vacillation Of the administration and
the jealousies within the majority in the
Chamber, the greatest danger to France
resides. The republic may be shaken, but
we do not believe it will be overthrow.
