ARKANSAS STATE NEWS.
Interesting statistics.

From the paper Of the historian OF TIE
State Press Association, r. W. Leigh,
editor of the Morrilton Headlight, we
gather the following interesting statistics;
There ars 1ss newspapers in the State, as
follows; Dalies. 10; weeklies, IA: semi.
weeklies, 9: monthles. 5. In the seventh
counties Of the State every county except
Calhoun, Chicot, Crittenden, Lafayette
and Montgomery, there are papers pub.
lished. During the year thrty-five pa
pers have been started and thirty-three
have suspended, showing an increase of
two. There have been fifty-seven changes
dur:n the year. editorislly and otherwise;
three editors have died during the
year. There are 49, type-setters
and printers engaged on the papers,
ind s123, 40 has been paid them during the
year as wages, which makes an average
OF sJ9 60 per month for good, bad and in
different. The value Of newspaper plants
is S233. so; the combined weekly circula-
ion l1s.ass copies, and grand total Of the
year I, ,544 ,t65 copies-one paper each week
to every FIVE inhabitants, or one to every
otter. This is an increase over last year
of 6.25l copies per week, and for the year
Of e42, 345 copies. Estimating the average
size Of seven columns, ii requires J2,9ls
pounds Of white paper TO run the papers
Of the State. and $3.50, $40 TO defray the
expenses. These figures might be carried
to an indefinite extent, showing the mag
nitude OF the newspaper business in the
State as mechanical enterprise.

question in this city has practically set
tied down to the demands of the stone

probably refuse to go TO work in the

Congressman Hewitt's IrreparabIe Loss.

NEW YORK, MAY 9.-Mr. Abram s.
Hewitt reached this city yesterday from
Washington to examine in person the
damages done to his library by fire in his
house on Thursday afternoon. Until his
arrival the origin of the fire ad been in
explicable. Mr.. Hewitt discovered that
a tinsmith at work on his roof had set his
portable furnace on the top Of the chin
ney containing his library fue. Mr..
Hewitt suspects that a live coal dropped
from the furnace down the fiue and caused
the fire.
"All my literary work for the last
twelve years was in the library" said Mr..
Hewitt, sand all was destroyed. There
was good deal Of correspondence rela-
tive to the campaign OF 1876, which has
all been destroyed. My library on poliu-
cal economy was very good one, and ID
is all gone. Many of the books are un-
obtainable nowadays. There were many
French and Spanish books in the colec.
tion and many early books on the subject.
There were about three thousand volumes
there-there are few in Washington and
some at my country housc-which had
bought as | needed. left the books al
together, intending to give them to the
Cooper Institute as special library.

A Student at Montpelier Strick-

RESCUED BY DIR. GAGE.

Probably no physicla ian in New England
enjoys such an enviable reputation for the
cure Of long standing complicated chronic
diseases as Goes DR.. Gage, the noted
specialist of 26 West 31st street, New
York. His success in this part of the
country is indeed phenomenal, and his
cures arc unsurpassed by any man living.
He max no idle boasts, nor does he hold
out false hopes to the afflicted, but he is
regular in his visits, honest and frank in
all his dealings, and does not attempt
cases unless he feels sure of success. The
evidence of his skill is not far-fetched. as
our citizens well know but is in our midst,
perhaps one of the most wonderful cures
yet reported is that of the student of this
village, who, in February last, was slrick-
en- with Biights Disease of the Kidneys.
After treatment by Montpelier physicians
he was removed to his home in Hardwick
TO die, as they supposed. The excretions
from the Kidneys we've thick with Albu-
men, and he became terribly bloated, and
so feeb that he could scarcely raise his
head from the pillow Finally council
of physici. ms from Montpelier and Hard,
wick gave the patient up as beyond all
help At this juncture messenger was
dispatched to lay the case before DR..
0dgc, WHO, tuiuhiuS IL was 100 ldte, re-
luctan.ly consented to treat the case with
out seeiag the patient. A happy deter
mination it was for the remedies seemed
to act like charm from the first, and the
patient has 50 far recovered as to feel GER
tain that he has a new lease OF life. Last
week he came down to Montpelier to see
the man who has been Instrumental in al
most snatching him from the grave, and
