The following voluntary statement
attested by well known citizens of
Arkansas, was recently received by

phasizes the almost miraculous power
of the Swift Specific In the relief and
cure OF the most dangerous forms of
blood disease. 1t will be observed
that several well-known physicians

DIvINEs DISAGREE.
A Discussion Not Deoidek by Pray
or. 1ntolsranoeof Opinion.

The following is an extract from
a late New York Tribune editorial
There is, perhaps, no mental vico sC
common as intolerance of opinion

cipated themselves from the clingng
defect find il hard to acknoWlegs
frankly to themselves that the opin-
ion of some one else upon a matter

II it differs radically from their own.
1--WE could all get rid of this last in
trinity not only of noble minds,
hut OF nearly all human minds, how
much less friction there would be in
life, how much less bitterness and
heart burning and envy and all un-
charitablenoss."
In an adjoining column OF the same
paper was found the following pecu-
liar commentary on the editorial:
"rhs bitterness OF the controversy
in the American Board over the ques-
ton of probation after death was
very great. This rather shocked the |
mple-minded and earnest foreign
missionaries who attended the ses-
SONS of the Board, one of whom said
bo had always thought such ques-
lions were decided by prayer. But II
the debate was not altogethsr &ffi, / %
! in spaiEii apparently some of u
them consulted IL oftener than the
yiblo."
Is it a fact that there 10 but little II
liberation in this country, and less 2

Yesterday afternoon, after the adjourn
ment OF court, an anilnating little episode
occurred that created considerable excite
ment about the building, and which has
been warped into all kinds Of shapes by
repetition on the streets. The affair was a
simple scrapping match, in which two of
our leading attorneys, Mr.. George Forster
and Mr.. Frank Graves, were implicated.
The trouble grew out of legal case in
which these gentlemen were pitted against
each other. Mr.. Graves made out an ath-
davit to the effect that he had served a
notice upon Mr.. Forster and Mr. Forster
made out II counter affidavit to the effect
that Mr.. Graves had done nothing Of tho
kind. Here the matter rested while court
was in session, but imm ediately after ad-
journment the two legal luminaries OK
changed few pleasant verbal courtesies
which resulted in Mr.. Graves, reaching out
his right duke, which came in violent col
lision with Mr.. Forster's fronticepiece
Hastily gathering himself together the sur
prised gentleman brought the osseous
prominence OF his fin with no gentle force
upon the physiognomy OF Mr.. Graves.
Then there was a clinch. and the air was
full OF arms, legs and other auxiliaries Of
the human anatomy for a few moments,
while the furniture of the temple OF justice
was knocked galley west. Just at this criti-
cal period, when men, chairs and tables
were mingled together each combatant
struggling to tap the life blood of his OPP
ponent, the portly form of Gen. Curry
stood between them like white winged
angel of peace, and his sturdy presence was
like oil on the troubled waters. The friends
of the gen tlemen deeply regret the trouble,
and no doubt the principals feel deeply
mortified at seeing il in print but 1t was
thought better to mention the affair kind
OF casually in order to correct the many
distorted rum ors in circulation.

Getting Involved.

The trouble between the city and Mr..
Norman is becoming slightly involved.
Yesterday morning the work Of moving
the buildings wa, continued, and in ac-
cordance with his announced intention
Chief of Police Warren proceeded to ar
rest Mr.. Norman, the six men engaged in
moving the building, and Judge Houghton,
who was also taking "a hand in the work.
They were all, with the exception of Mr..
Norman, bound over to appear on Tuesday
for trial. Mr.. Norman was fined $40 and
costs, and ~ he refused to pay, commit
ment was made out. His lawyers at once
got out u writ Of habeas corpus, which was
served upon Warren last evening, requiring
him to bring his prisoner before Judge
Turner this morning at 10 o'clock. Mean
while the work of removal went on, and
by night the buildings were safely at rest
ON the lots The street is now clear and if
the city is in the right Mr.. Norman can be
prosecuted rs well as before. However the
case may be decided, it will be of great ina
terest to the public, and of considerable
importance to the city.

The following brief prospectus will serve
to give q general idea OF the young ladies
seminary which the Misses Summerville
propose to open in this city on May 1st
There are to be three departments. Pri-
mary, preparatory and academic. The
course Of study in the lower departments 10
about the same as is taught In any high
school. The curriculum of the academic
department embraces thorough courses in
English, higher mathematic scientific
studies, Latin, French and German. There
will also be n kindergarten department in
connection with tho seminary for little
boys and girls.
The terms will be very reasonable in
comparison with those usually charged at
schools of the same grade. A full pros
pectus will soon be published giving in de-
tail the courses of study, exact terms Of
tuition, aud other facts of interest to all
who may expect to attend themselves or
send children. THE institution will be
splendid thing for the city and well merits
the hearty support and encouragement
which the project is receiving.

A New and Strong Firm.

We refer to Messrs. Dillman Il Hudgins,
although they ere branching out In a new
line of business, they are not by any means
unknown to our citizens. Mr.. Dillman has
for q long time been the leading salesman
IN the well known Boston store, and in
losing Mr.. ID. the proprietor Of the Boston
store parts with him with regret, but hopes
that success will follow him in his new
venture. Mr.. ID. has, however. Unidentified
himself very closely with the mining inter-
ests In the surrounding country, and in TACT
has some very valuable claims of his own,
and many poor prospector has been stak-
ed by him. Mr.. n. NJ. Hudgins, the other
member of the firm, has been connected
with that large dry goods and clothing em-
porum the Great Eastern company, since
that house opened its doors for business in
this cityas their leading clothing salesman,
and has also been the travelling man for the
same house. In parting with Mr.. III the
Great Eastern company recognize the fact
that they are losing valuable assistant,
but he also has the good wishes of the firm
with whom he has So long served with
credit to himself and profit to his employ
ers. Both of these gentlemen are well ac-
quainted with the city and surrounding
country, and We predict for them brilliant
future in their new enterprise. II rustling
and square dealing is any criterion to go by
they will get there"

The Muzzy Addition.

The rumor in regard to the jumping Of
the land of Mr.. Hiram Muzzy, on the
north side, is entirely without foundation,
and was, no doubt started by some ire
sponsible'person or persons as joke or
with the desire TO be the author of u sensa-
tional story. Mr.. Mnzzy informs us that
he has never filed on any homestead
except the one on which he is now living,
and that the records OF all the land offices
IN the world will not disclose any other
such filing on his part. The title to the
Muzzy homestead is as perfect rs any such
tit can be made, and every requirement
of the law has been fulfilled to the letter.
Mr.. Muzzy lived on the claim constantly
six years and eight months before the
final proof was made. and put on the prop
erty three thousand dollars worth of i'm
provements. No adverse claim of any
kind has been filed at the land office, and
this statement by Mr.. Muzzy is made only
because some anxiety has been raised in
the minds of some parties who have bought
property in the Muzzy addition.
