ARKANSAS new election law was enforced for the first time last Tues day in the third ward, Little Rock, where w. H. Cajul, democrat, and Bryant Luster, republican, were can. didates for alderman. The result ol the trial was entirely satisfactory and there is no doubt but the law will prove success. The third word is largely republican, three fifths of the voters being colored. In the absence Of the usual excite ment around the polls, the negroes refused to vote, and many of those who did voted for Cajul, who was elected by good majority.

ELSEWHERE will be found list ol
 the citizens of Pope county who are entitled to distributive share In tue direct tax money refunded to the State by the national govern ment- This tax was authorized by the act of congress of Aug. 5. 1861, ana was tax assessed against all the real estate in the United States, the rate being 37 cents oD every Sio0 worth of real property, the money raised being used to carry on the war. Some of the states paid the money out of their treasuries, others levied an assessment to raise the money. The tax was promptly paid by the northern states. In the south the tax could not be collect ed until after the war. An attempt was made to collect the tax in Arkan- sas Tn lS65-6. Three commissioners were appointed, but only two made their appearance, Vance and Cow perthwaite. The quoto of taxes lev jed against Arkansas was $26I, ,SS6. When the commissioners finished their work they reported that they had been unable to collect $107,I S2 of this amount, and that the net amount collected was $156, ,272.28. Of this sum Pope county contribut- ed $1,345.e6. The record shows that a large per cent. of this county's share was paid by Capt J. R. H. Scott and Col. B T. Embry, as agents presumably for the tax pay CTS. The largest sum returned is $72.15 to Col. Embry, and the small. est, l5 cents, to W. H. Stepp. The money for each claimant IS now in the treasury vault at Little Rock, and will be remitted upon proper ap- plication as soon as proofs of ldenti fication are submitted. The full list with date of payment and by whom paid, is on file for inspection in the county clerks office.

GOOD MEASURE. Yes, good measure, pressed down and running over.

Some of these little proprietors of sarss- parillas put up in half-piut bottles are sri- vious of the increasing popularity of Dr. John Bulls Sarsapayilla, put up as 1t is in large quart bottles, and intimate that theirs is more concentrated. This is as false as deceit can be. A teaspoonful of B. i. Sarsaparilla contains more concel ;. ated medicinal virtue than tablespoonful of any other sarsaparilla made. A bottle of Dr. John Bulls Sarsaparilia contains six other blood purifier made. No exception
 is made. Now an invalid w6hts bis moneys worth. He wants good measure.
 Therefore unless misled through ighor- arce, when his system needs blood puri-
