Gen. Reynolds latest contribution
to the literature of the anti Fishback
war is the publication Of a Union
speech by the Sebastian county
statesman at Little Rock in 1868
after the Federal occupation. 1t is
severe arraignment OF the seces'
sion leaders who precipitated the
South into the war and, taken as q
whole, is just such speech as one
might expect from q Union man al
that period. Thousands of similar
ones, embodying the same thoughts,
sentiments and utterances, were de.
livered throughout the land, where
ever the Federal nag waved, about
the time Fishback fired off his philip
pic. There can apparently be but
one object in its publication, namely
To prove that Fishback was opposed
to secession; and, as everybody
knew that before, this last attack OF
Gen. Reynolds must be regarded as
the weakest that he has yet made
upon Fishback = Washington Tel

Fellow Citizens Il am a candl-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Representative, and am farm
er, This being busy time to farm
ers l will be unable to canvass the
entire county, and talk face to face
with the citizens, so l take this method
Of giving my position upon public
questions affecting the welfare OF
the people. feel that the time has
come when the most rigid economy
must be practised in the public rx-
pense, and not a dollar be expended
for any purpose that can possibly be
avoided. The depression felt among
the industrial classes, and in every
department of trade, demand \ gen.
eral reduction Of taxes, general re-
duction of fees and salaries.
1 am in favor of general reform
alton in the management of the dlf-
ferent State offices. The numerou;
clerks employed around the State
house, and the salaries paid, are of
such nature that demand the
closest investigation.
| am in favor of reduction of the
salaries OF State officers. i am in
favor of reducing the per diem OF the
of the General Assembly, and the
mileage, to the actual cost to mem
bers.
/ am in favor of reducing the
fees and salaries Of county offices tc

piled to the payment of the county 3

in few years; scrip would be al
par, and the officers would then real
ize as much as now for their seryic-
es.
am opposed to the Equalization
Board-'tis unjust, and should be
repealed, or at least so far a. il
affects the home tax payer.
am opposed to an appropriation
for the Worlds Fair. Arkansas
can't afford it. The number OF tax
sales made every year are alarmingly
large. Shall a solitary home be
despoiled for such a purpose?
am opposed to appropriating the
peoples money to pay the burial eX
penses of dead Senators and Repre-
sentatiyes. This custom has grown
into a perfect nuisance.
am opposed to donating Large
sums of the peoples money to Tho
families Of dead Judges, as was done
by the last General Assembly. The
public has no more right TO the char
tiles of the State than the humbles
citizen.
am opposed to appropriating the
peoples money for newspapers
postage, ETC., for the members of The
General Assembly. This custom
like many others, consumes the tax
payers money, without any good oil
adequate return.
| am opposed to approprlating the
peoples money for anything thai
does not tend directly To their inter
est. This is no time for high-nowr
schemes or extravagant speculation
The burdens of better days are upon
us, and now, at the present price o.
cotton, it is the hardest kind o
work to pay taxes at all. If elected
to represent you, l will always be
found at my post, faithfully in the
discharge Of duty, ever ready t'
ameliorate the condition of suffer
ing people.

How Chinamen Are Shaved.

The Chinese of San Francisco shave
nearly every day. A queer little razor
it is that they use, too. It is in no re-
spect like our razor, except in the matter
Of the keenness Of its edge. It is wee
bit of blade, nicely curved into a semi
circle. With this tool the Chinese bar.
ber scrapes the almost hirsuteless face
of his customer and then shaves him
around the ears and down the neck to
the first bone of the spinal column. The
rounded point of the razor is also insert
ed into the Celestial ear, and every am
bilious hair that dares to show itself In
the aricular lobe is clipped before it pro-
ceeds very far. The Chinaman, you
know, is scrupulously cleanly about his
ears. A growth of hair in them is con-
sidered mark Of low birth or of care
lessness or ungenteel habits,--St. Louis

Took His Word for II,

At the battle of Seven Pines or Fair
Oaks the Fifth New Jersey, in conrec-
ton with the regiments Of the Second
brigade and others, ably attested the
universal confidence reposed in them by
their commanders. Senator Wade, at
Bull Run, said, "Give us O brigade Of
these Jerseymen and we'll beat the en-
emy still"
During the engagement of June a
Union soldier had his leg shot off by q
ball from the enemy's artillery.
Captain Ramsey ordered one of his
men ian Irishman from New Jersey to
assist the wounded man to the rear.
Pat, while giving the necessary assist
ance, asked the man how and where he
had been wounded.
"My leg was shattered by cannon
ball during the last attack" was the re.
ply.
On the way to the hospital a fragment
Of shell took the already badly wounded
mans head entirely off, unnoticed by
Pat, who was carrying his comrade in
his arms.
Upon arriving at the temporary hospi-
tai one of the surgeons, after looking at
the man, said: "What did you bring
this man here for?"
"Sure, Captain Ramsey tould me to"
said Pat.
"Why, the man is dead; his head is
completely shattered from his body" re.
piled the doctor.
"His head, is it? Oh, the blaggard;
shure and he tould me it was his leg, so
he did. New York Recorder.
