REV. j. Il. BoDIE, q. gentleman oil
color, showed q bit of enterprise re
Gently, which, while it might have
been stylish, still was not the sort to
be relishcd by those most concerned
This reverend gentleman projected
an excursion for the colored people
from Morrillton to Cabin Creek.
He got the tickets and we under
stand sold about 5000 worth, and
tried to get the railroad TO run the
excursion for that sum, but failing
in that, he concluded to run an ex-
cursion Of his own, but OF different
sort, and the colored people found
congrcgated NJ the de
pots along the road ON excursion
day without any excursion train.
They can console themselves with
thcfact that they have contributed
towards getting RASCAL out of the
country, and, if he comes back, they
can console themselves with the mat
ter of putting rascal in Jail.

WE went to press last week and
no election for United States senator
IN New Hampshire. The same can
be said again this week. The New
Hampshire Legislature has been bal
loting now for month and half
almost and no election yet It's a
pity that poor New Hampshire must
pay thirty or forty thousand dollars
to elect a senator just to crafty the
ambition of few men.

The Rev. III. r. Withers OF Hope,
Ark, looked IN upon MS ON route TO
Mont Eagle last week. lie was in
good health and full of hope. His
sneech on temperance at Mont Eagle
on Wednesday, July 18th delighted
the people. So says the telegraph
Christian Advocate.
Judge Withers stands among the
strongest temperance speakers in
the land, and faw there be that can
measure arms with him. We can
but feel pride to see him stepping
up to national reputation as tenn
perance orator, and also to see him
training for the great temperance
battles yet to be fought among the
hills and valleys Of Arkansas.

LOUISVILLE EXPOSITION.

Eternal vigilance Is the price of
liberty" is the ancient maxium.
Over opposite this, we set one of our
own, eternal agitation and urging is
the price of getting our people
walked up on the subject of the
Louisville Exposition. The man
that sees an opportunity and takes
advantage of it is the man who sue
ceeds in life. The man who is too
obtuse to see opportunities, or seeing
them is too stingy to profit by them
is the man who is on the bottom
round, at the tail end, anywhere but
never at the front. This will do as
a figure TO represent communities.
Live towns, live countries, live com
munities consist of live men. Moth
ing else can make them. A grand
opportunity can't pass by live nan
unappropriated. He'll mount it and
ride on to fame and prosperity, while
his indolent neighbor expresses his
establishment, and chimes in with
his old song of hard times and no
money. AS we have said before, we
say again this haphazzard, listless
way of doing things never did and
never will accomplish anything, or
rather the haphazzard way Of not
doing them II you want anything
done you had better get up and do it.

THE TARIFF.

sister in national politics, to which
the Democratic party is allied, nor
from which can she free herself
without being dirclict to herself and
the country. That twin sister is the
internal revenew tax on luxurics,
and especially on whisky and tobac-
co. The Republican party fayors
the complete wipfng out of this in
ternal revenue tax, and for the espe-
cial purpose of abolishing this source
of revenue to the government so as
to create necessity for the present
high tariff on the country's imports.
The revenues derived from both the
tariff and internal revenue are large
ly in excess Of the governments de-
mands, and in order to provide just
enough means for the nations needs,
it is necessary to revise these
sources of income which the repub-
licans propose to do by abolishing
the internal tax so that plethoric
corporators and large factors can
continue to divide among themselves
excessive profits at the expense of
the people. The Democratic party
propose to revise both, and bring the
revenues down to limit where they
will meet the current expenses Of
the government and no more, and
let this vast surplus go to the con
sumner in the shape of cheaper sup
plies. The Republicans are making
many shifts to save their pet policy
of protection. The latest is their
new stroke in the recent Republican
State Convention in Pennsylvania,
where they introduced the idea of
apLropriating the surplus money in
the national treasury to the payment
of state debts. This supreme hight
of folly was reserved for the Repub-
lican party of Pennsylvania, and
shows the mad infatuation of a party
under the influence of rich factors,
and powerful monopolies. This mo-
nopoly power and vast aggregation
of capital has taken such complete
control of the politics of the eastern
states that the democracy of those
states have surrendered to it, and
hence the people will have to look in
other quarters for leaders to COM
mand in the great popular battles to
throw off their yoke. Hence it is
that we see the eyes of the great
South and Southwest turned to Hon,
John G.. Carlisle of Kentucky, or
some other man of similar views for
the next speaker of the House OF
Representative instead of Hon. Sam
Randall, OF pennsylvania. MI. Kan
dali has been great leader and
done great service when other issues
were at stake. But those issues are
past and the country stands face to
face with question vitality connect
ed with the great interests of the
laboring classes of this nation, and
the Democratic party true to its
instincts must relieve the necessi-
ties of life and tax the luxuries,
that is, it must retain the present
internal revenue on luxuries, and
especially on whisky and tobacco,
in order to be enabled to further re-
duce the tariff on the necessities OF
life SO that the poor men of this ma
ton may have the benefit of cheap
supplies instead of manufactors the
benefit of large profits.

HER FUNERAL.
Mrs. Rebecca Boyd, Of ClarlSs-
vile,
While In the City Yesterday Buys
Herself an Elegant Coffin
and Robe.


Little Rock Gazette, 25th.
The GOODNESS and deliberation with
which some people prepare for the
summons we all must hear, whether
or not we are willing to answer, was
never better exemplilied shan on
yesterday, by lady from Clarks
vile, one of the excursionists, who
called at the undertaking establish
ment of James Cook, on West Mark
ham street. There she coolly, and
with as much deliheration and self
possession as if buying a piece OF
jewelry, purchased and paid for her
coffin and funeral robe. The trans
action being somewhat out Of the
usual channel, it caused some little
comment in trade ccnters. A re-
porter OF The Gazette called on Mr.
Cook and inquired as to the correct
ness Of the report.
YES" replied that gentleman, ''ii
is true except that her purchas
was one of my finest metallic caskets
instead Of coffin"
"Did the lady tell you her place
of residencey'
Certainly, and her name, also.
am to ship it to Mrs. Rebeeca Boyd
at GAINESVILLE, on Thursday. She
returns to Clarksyille Wednesday
and the casket is to follow on the
next day. She will store it away
there until she needs it."
"Rumor says she paid $780," said
the reporter.
81 can't tell you the price, as she
requested ne not to say"
sWhat is the price Of your most
expensive caskets?'
sFour hundred dollars, but she
did not pay that price"
did she also purchase her tomb
stoneg'
| "No; she already has that; :
double one she told me, her husband
having already preceded her. ! a,st
sold her a funeral robe, enc of The
very best / had, and engraved hel
name on the casket."
] GLOW did she appear when max
ing the purchaser
"As composed as you would be il
transacting any ordinary business
She was lady in every sense of thu
word, selected the best of goods
paid for them and went her way"

strange transaction is that recent,

lT is strange what an influence

in this line was the mad attempt of

among them floating 60 consecutive
hours without touching anything.
He had been enabled to ainass the
neat little sum of fifteen thousand

add several thousand more by this
most daring feat on record, but poor
fellow, he was caught in the deadly
whirlpool below the rapids, raised
his hand as signal to the people
and disappeared to rise no more

Is IT right for lawyer to urge the
case of his client-to work for a
clients release from the clutches OF
the law, in any and every way with
out regard to good reason or common
Justice. Isn't it as much for the
lawyers welfare as common citi-
zen, for the law to be strictly en-
forced as anybody elsese's. If so,
how can he consistently consider il
his duty to work for q clients cause
without first being convinced of the
Justice of that cause, and how can
he work to simply defeat the ends Of
justice atall, except he consents to
lay aside principle in his profession
and degrade it to the level of making
it a means to'make money and rep
utation regardless of the methods
used, and this too many do. The
lawyer should be as free from prac-
ticing law for reputation as the
minister should be OF preaching for
a reputation. The ono should re-
gard the principle of justice as sa-
credly rs the other the principles OF
religion. The ambition to gain a
case should never overcome the law
yers desire to do right. This adopt
ed a principle in the profession
would elevate it to a potent position
for good in society, otherwise it be-
comes a means ofturning law-break-
ers loose upon society as much as
anything else. Speedy punishment
meeted out to law breakers and evil
doors is the policy upon which de-
ponds the public safety and will do
more to rid society of these classes
than anything else can, and the law
yer who puts his talents in the way
of this end certainly cannot claim
to conserve the public good, however
much he may assert his personal
rights or the legitimacy Of his
course.

a Mr. Potter, in Yell county about
three months ago, and have ueiied

only 10 have been with the Daniels
at the time of the killing.
The posse came on gentleman
whom they suspicioned as privy to
the whereabouts OF tho desperadoes.
He was promptly arrested. and hung
up until he confessed, and agreed to
show their hiding place. Early Sat
urday morning he conducted the
posse to the hiding place of Blocker.
They distributed themselves and
awaited developments. Presently a
woman was seen approaching, Char
ley Hearn raised his head above his
log when she saw him, and whistlcd
a signal AT this, Blocker jumped
for his gun, but to no avail. The
posse already had him covered with
their trusty shot guns, and there
was nothing left for him to do but
surrender. She was bringing Block
er his breakfast. From Blocker, it
was ascertained where the Daniel
boys were to meet him on Sunday
evening. Mr.. Charley Carter, Mr..
Caldwell, and another one of the
posse left the posse en- route to the

taking nearer way, reached the
place in advance of the others. No
sooner there, than they were fred
upon by the desperadoes, with the
result stated. Caldwell killed, Char

and the third man shot through the
hand. On Monday evening about
an hour by sun, Judge Carter got
the following note from his brother.
