turbances marring the day.

HOPE, ARK, September 5.-From
all that can be learned this county has
undoubtedly gone Democratic by at
least 300 majority, though the vote is
light all over the county, on account
of the new election law. This town.
ship will fall off 200 votes
a late telegram received here Tex
srkana) this morning, says Hampstead
county will give an average Demo-
cratic majority of 500. Hurrah for
old Hampstead!
ARKADELPHA, ARK, September 5.
The election here was quiet and
orderly throughout, and in this, Cad
do, township 1118 votes were polled,
with safe estimate of seventy-fve
Democratic majority. AT Gurdon
and Okalona precincts there was a
full vote, and overwhelmingly Demo-
cratic, while Smithton went solidly
Democratic. Indications point to
victory of 250 majority at least for
the Democratic State and county
ticket.

You can count on 800 opposition
majority in Nevada county.
w. V. ToMpKINs.
So it seems that Nevada has again
gone over to the Third party. We
regret to hear this very much.
Ell DORADO, ARK, September g.
This precinct and two others heard
from will give Fishback about 900
majority and the Amendment the
same. The election passed off quietly.
You can count on old Union for 1900
majority.
NEWPORT, ARK, September g.
The election held in this county to-day
under the Australian ballot system
was the quietest and most orderly
ever held in the county. The day
was unusually favorable and full vote
was polled at every precinct. Of
course no definite data can be given
tonight It is safe to say that the
Democratic State ticket will 90
through with an increased majority.
Amendment No. Q will also carry.
TILLAR, ARK, September 5.-This
precinct gives the entire Democratic
ticket, State and county, handsome
majority. The new election law
worked well.
ALMA, ARK, September b.--The
election passed off quietly here and
it is yet too early to know anything
of the results, but it is safe to say the
entire Democratic ticket is elected by
at least 200 majority. Amendment
No. 2 will carry, and it is likely that
whiskey is voted out of Alma.
AUGUSTA, Ark September 5.--Thc
indications are that this county has
gone Democratic from 500 to 600. A
small vote was polled. Many negroes
refused to vote, objecting to the new
law, and many voted the straight
Democratic ticket.

LATEST COUNTY RETURNS.

In addition to returns given above
from Miller county, West Track and
Collins Mill precincts have been heard
from, but no actual figures can be
given; in tlrst-named Republican
majority of 94 in total vote of 109 is
claimed, while in the latter there Is q
Democratic majority of 25 in a total
vote of 1877. Sand Hill box, Sulphur
township, came at 2 O'Clock; total vote
25, and all Democratic save / or 2
votes.
A general resume of vote given
above, together with the estimated
vote of other precincts not heard from
in the county, gives the average Dem
ocratic majority at 500 excepting for
Blythe, who will run little below
this, owing to some scratching of his
name in Sulphur township. Very la
test news from Sulphur township indi-
cate that there has not been SO much
scratching, and majorities will reach
above the figures named.

little interest. Many negroes failed to

In Case of War.

The Neue Militnrische Blatter prin t
some startling figures showing the tinan-
cial resources which the great European
powers can rely upon in case of war In
the Julius tower of the fortress of Span
dau in Prussia there is a treasure OF one
hundred and fifty millions Of francs IN
gold. The other States have only their
national banks to depend upon. The
estimate gives nine hundred and forty
seven millions to the German empire,
five hundred and forty -seyen millions
for the Austro- Hungarian empire, and
two hundred millions to tho kingdom OF
Italy, giving total of one billion six
hundred and ninety four millions for the
triple alliance. To this total is added
the sum of five hundred and sixty seven
millions for the Bank of England and
ono hundred and one millions for the
Bank of Belgium. In this way it ar
rives at total of two billions three hun
dred and sixty-two millions for the five
States of the west and contre Of Europe.
But substantial as this sum is, it appears,
according to the same authority, that it
is not as big rs the treasure of the Bank
of France, which at present is more than
two billions seven hundred millions of
francs in gold. Then, with the resources
of Russia, about q miliard moro must be
added to the war budgets of the oppo-
nents of the riple alliance.

In the strange little country of Hol-
land the three principal cities are Am
sterdam, Rotterdam and The Hague.
These cities are peculiar medley Of
canals and streets, trees and mass,
bridges and boats. Amid their APP
parent disorder there is more or less
of symmetry. Amsterdam is semi
circle, Rotterdam an equilateral
triangle and The Hague o square. The
difference between the three cities So
cially has been aptly put: cat Rotter-
dam fortunes are made, at Amsterdam
they are consolidated, at The Hague
they are spent" There seems to be
more or less at Rotterdam an imitation
of England, at Amsterdam of Ger
many and at The Hague of France.
Throughout the whole country the i'll
fluence of the three neighboring ma
tons is evidently felt. Apparently
everywhere tho fashionable folks ad-
mire French manners, the learned
folks German methods and the bust
ness folks English ways.

A" EnGlishman, MIR. Lester William
Tallack, q member of the Howard As
ISOLATION, who has been carefully
studying the prison system of this
country, has come to the conclusion
that our schools are to large extent
schools of criminality. This is due to
the fact, explains the New Yorh Tri-
bune, that prisoners of the most hard
ened type mingle freely with begin
ners in crime. The indictment is not
universally true of the prisons of the
United ates, but unfortunately there
is much truth in it. Mr.. Tallack also
deprecates the supplying Of prisoners
with comforts and luxuries. He holds
that in England, where prisoners of
various orders arc separated, crime is
decreasing in consequence. These
observations are worthy Of careful
consideration here.

= Despite complaints of hard times
among Western farmerAe statistics OF
failures show, maintains the Boston
,Cultivator, that they were fewer in the
distinctiveIy agricultural States than
fn those devoted largely to manu-
featuring and commercial pursuits.
The gains from other kinds of bust
ness than farming are sometimes
greater, but they are accompanied by
greater risks. The kinds Of business
that are in closest relation to the far
mer are best secured by this fact
against serious loss-much more
against failure.

Foreign Postal Savings Bank.

The British postal savings banks are
open for the receipt and payment of
money daily to depositors and one shil-
ling twenty-five cents or any number
of shilings are received. If a person
desires TO deposit less than one shilling
he may purchase penny stamps and
paste them on c,rd, and when the num-
Der reaches the amount of one shilling
they make the deposit. The number Of
deposits in the Postal Savings Banks of
Great Britain in the year 1891, amounted
to S,716, 16G, tho amount so deposited
being more than slOO,O00,o~. The
number of depositors and the amount Of
money deposited increased from year to
year. In England and Wales, one in
diyidual in every seven makes deposits,
the average balance due to each depos-
itor being about s75 The regulations
permit persons depositing at one Post
office, to drew against their deposit at
any other Postoffice, and thirty per cent
of the transactions are made in this man.

1889 the number of deposits was over
100000 and.the amount deposited 49,

In Austria the number of depositors
in 1890 was 63,115 and the number OF
deposits made during the year was
1,2U, s05, amounting TO u ,o4S,o2t

In Hungary, Russia and Finland post
office savings banks are also in success
full operation. In nearly all of these
small deposits may be made by purohas
ing stamps and atfixing them to card.

If guards and guarding would keep

Transcript, there would be no dyna-
miters in France. Besides the ordi-
nary local police force and the army
there are 10000 gendarmes, 1887 COM
missaries of police, IA, Ill agents Of
police, 81, 900 gardes champetres who
guard the fields, $4,000 private sworn
guards, 700 forest guards who guard
the forests, 5085 fish police who guard
the fishes. 1t is no more than justice
TO the corps charged with guarding
them that neither the fields, the forests

Liberty's Bright Light.

The light held by the Goddess of
Liberty in New York barbor is electric
and of tho first order. Though placed
by Congress under the management
of the Lighthouse Board, its object is
purely sentimental and it is not partic-
ulariy useful as on aid to navigation.
The biggest light in the world is at
Sydney, Australasia. It has power
equal to 1876, 900 candles, and is visible at
q distance of fifty miles. The most ex-
posed lighthouse in existence was built
in 1853 on Bishop Rock, off the Sciily
Isles. 1t has been estimated that the
waves beat upon it with force of 5000
pounds to the square foot. On January
80, 1860. storm breaker tore away the
bell, weighing 200 pounds, from the top
of the tower, more than 100 feet above
the sea.

The habit is comparatively easy to
break off if one goes at it in the right
way. A middle aged woman, after hay
ing bitten her nails almost her entire
lifetime, broke herself of the habit by
beginning on one finger. This she per-
sistently left alone and carefully Guilt
waited the finger nail, giving certain
amount of attention to it every day.
When this finger nail had grown to the
usual length she took up another, and so
on, until all her nails except one were
