AN ADDls E,SS
To the Democrats Of ihc
FIRST Congressional Dis
trict Of Arkansas.

SIR:-Since the last Congression-
al election, the state has been re-
dstricted. The Democratic vote Of
the First District has been largely
decreased and the Republican vote
greatly increased by the addition Of
the large negro vote of Chicot
county.
There are now about $4,000 dem
ocrats in this Congressional district
who are qualified and entitled to
vote, and there are about 1900
republicans in the district qualified
to vote, OF the $4,000 qualified
Democratic voters in the counties
now composing the district, only
1860 attended the polls and cast
their votes for the democratic candi-
date for President and members of
Congress in November 1880, show
ing that full 12,000 democrats alb
sented themselves from the polls
and failed to vote.-The actual ma
jority for our democratic candidate
for President at that election was,
therefore, only 1850 in this Congress
sional district, as now formed. 1t
is an easy matter for the republi-
cans to overcome this small majority
if any considerable number of dem
ocrats fail to vote. 1t is now well
known that they will this year again
try the same trick by means of
which they came near electing a re-
publican negro to represent you in
Congress IN lSS0-viz: the name of
a secret candidate for Congress will
be printed upon the Presidential
ticket, and every republican and
negro in the district will be on hand
on election day and will vote it;
and they will elect their candidate,
unless. every democrat goes to the
polls and deposits his vote. You
are therefore earnestly urged to go
to the polls on Tuesday the 4th day
OF November and vote the ticket
printed on this paper,
We have prepared and issued this
circular, in order to bring these
facts, and this danger of defeat to
the personal knowledge and attcn-
ton of every voter in the district
and with il deliver a ticket TO each,
SO that the responsibility for the re-
suit shall rest with the democratic
voters. Our candidates for Presi-
dental electors and for Congress are
doing their whole duty in the cam
paign, we, the committee, are doing
ours, and it now remains for each
democratic voter to do his by de-
posting his ballot on the day of
election.

SACK Agcry's Address at
the Newport Barbecue.

Atthe great mass-meeting at New
port, in August, at which PoindeS.
ter Dunn, ex-senator Clayton, Gov
ernor Berry, Mr.. Iverson A. Jones,
and others, delivered able addresses,
Jack Agery, the leading colored
Democrat Of Little Rock, made an
address, which contained some sug-
gestions to his people that may set
Some of them to thinking. Among
'other things he said:
IL am not Democrat, fcllow-ci,.
izcns, because I'm paid to be one as
some are paid to be Republicans--by
J-cent whisky and "a cigar, now and
then. | am a Democrat from prin-
ciple, because | believe in it, and be-
cause think the best friends Of the
colored people are the Democrats of
the South. They are the men you
always go to when you need help
when you are in distress.
"Your interests are the interest Of
the people you live with, and it will
always be SO. We are educating
our children among them and grow
ing up with them. We are with
them in everything but politics, and
there is not a single good reason
why our politics should not be the
same as theirs. Now, | want to

things. You need to stick close to
your business, You ought to get
something around you, asld grow up

that prevents you, You are most
too religious, and go TO church too
much. Ever since the war you have
spent too much time at your meet
ings Especially your night meet

ing. One OF your songs has struck
the white people. 1t is tl,is:

Now, my advice to you is for you to
try to get little of the world from
them, and let the white people have
little more of jesus. That will
make things even all around. Now,
finally, let us live and work together

Tree was blown down about nine mllca
from Washington, Ga John Frank
while hiding by, saw something shinins
and examined the roots in the hole left
by the tree. He found almost a peck
OF gold, and large quantity of jewels
ana precious stones. Among the latter
were diamonds, rubies and pearls and
many pieces OF exquisite workmanship.
the value Of which has been placed BIS
several connoisseurs at 5000, 900. The
belief expressed by all who have seen
the treasure is that it is part
of the lot lost by the confed
crate cabinet during its flight through
this section, as the road upon which
this treasure was found is the same
on which the cabinet retreated. 1t is
supposed that the person who secured
this part OF the treasure, being unable
to carry 1t off, hid it for security, and
either died a natural death or was killed
soon after, and that consequently the
treasure was never unearthed. 1t is
said that during the flight OF the caoi-
net John G. Breckenridge gave box OF
valnables to widow named Moss. who
zealousiy guarded it. Ono night man
rode up to her residence, called
her aside and In whisper told
her that he was the accredited
agent OF the persons who had left the
box In her possession and that he had
been instructed to call for it. Com
pletely deceived by the mans assurance
and appearance of honesty, she placed
the box III his hands to sec him disap-
pear IN the darkness, and to realize next
day that she had been cruelty imposed
upon. She died a month later. The

In answer to those who advocate the

along the fences, Maryland man urges
that the roots of such trees occupv a

which grow all manner of briars and for

fruit. trees beside the roads cannot be
satisfactorily carried out, or, rather.
that such trees will become an eyesore
rather than an adornment, because the

stones used to knock the fruit down,

Care of HiphWRps

A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman, writing from Duchess County,
New York, says that the town of Ame-
MIA, IN that county, has tried with
marked success the plan of keeping
70 ce of four or five men at work on the
highways through most of The year
under the supervision of An experienced
and skillfu builder of roads, who gives
his attention constantly to the work.
Every part of the seventy-five miles of
highway in the town Is in good condi-
ton, and the expense Of keeping it 80
has been much less than it could have
been by the old method. The new plan
has greatly relieved the farmers, who
have not been called to work on the
roads at time when other duties de-
manded their attention. New York has
law which directs that the voters of
any town may elect to adopt this plan of
hiring force of men and g competent
commissioners to make and keep in repair
the roads OF their town. but the plan
orce adopted must be followed for not
less than three years. It has been found
that by the method described the roads
have been kept in better condition than
ever before, and that the cost of the
work hes actually been less than that of
road making by the old way.

The workilen at the White House

which many historic associations cling.
1t was soft maple Mt the right Of the

avenue from the great porch in front of
the White House. 1t was the first one

of the curved walk OF the hagstones dur

con. 1t was only sapling then, but
grew to be over two feet Ill diameter.
There is tradition current among some
OF the older laborers about the White
House that Abraham Lincoln used to
stop at this tree when strolling thought
fully about the grounds and pluck a
twig from it. Then he would take ont
his pocket-knife and slowly white and
shave it away as he walked on. When
1t was gone he would presently pass
again and pluck another, till the limb
next the walk won d look stripped by

member of the Philadelphia Skating
Club and Humane Society tossed him a
life line. He sliced it and score Of
willing hands at the other end pulled
