amended by excepting counties from it's provisions until the act finally applied to only five counties in the State, and was ultimately passed in that shape.
 In this manner the bill, to all in- tents and purposes, became a special act for five counties in this Staie, in which case the Constitution has made special provision.
 Art. 5, Sec, 26of the Constitution says No local or special bill shall be passed unless notice of the in tention to apply therefor shall have been published in the locality where the matter or thing to be affected may be situated, which notice shall be, at least thirty days prior to the introduction into the General Assembly of such bill, and in the manner provided by law. The evidence of such notice having been published shall be exhibited in the General Assembly before such act shall be passed
 Section 9 of the same Article also says: In all eases where a general law can be made applicable no sDeciai law shall be enacted.
 Ttis therefore manifest that when any number Of counties become ex- empt from the provisions of a general. bill, that the bill becomes to all intents and purposes a special act for the remaining counties, and unless the Constitutional notice has been given, is thereby unconsti- tutional, and should be ruled out by the President of the Senate or the Speaker of the House.
 This question has never been passed on by the Supreme Court, but we believe if Q test case were made this view would be sustained.
 It is apparent that if the practice continues that in the course of a short time the laws Of Arkansas will become a confused mass with a different law for every county in the State

When They We're Naughty.

There wore some queer modes of pun- ishment for naughty girls and boys i'll our grandmothers' days. When stitches went awry in patchwork, the small fin- gers were smartly snapped with the sinewy foreiinger and thumb, the for mer capped with heavy thimble of huge dimensions. This was much more severe than the mere telling would im- ply, and tho young eulprits soon learned to dread it. Another punishment for minor offenses wls to tic tho naughty child's pinafore over it's head and rap ping tho victim with stiff busk, snatehed out from tho bosom of her dress. evidently carried there for that purpose

The nlal.en Apologiaed.

Dr. Temple was won't to rule the dio- oeso of Exeter with an iron hand, and a tale Is told of a deanery meeting at which he presided, when the subject for discussion was .sThe Hindranoos to the Spiritual Life of tho Diocese After tho discussion had proceeded for some time a vicar electrified his audience by de- claring that the groatest hindranoe to the full spiritual lifo was none other than tho bishop himself T repeat it, '' said tho speaker calmly, .'our right rev erend father ill God is very far from be- ing a father to any of us. Your manner toward us, he continued, turning to the bishop is harsh in the extreme, while your method of rule is this: You treat us all, old and young, as if we were a set of sehoolboys This bold statement drew from tho bishop an apoI- ogy, and he explained that beneath his brusqueness Of manner was n very gen uine sympathy with the work of all the clergy. This Impeachment created the more sensation il the mee ting because it came from a son of Dr. Temple pred ocessor. tho famous Henry of ExetoT. = Westminster Gazette.

lessIy Feed.
An-honet man should be honest with his
body. The owner of a horse is usually
particular to know that sweet and prop
cry cured hay and clean oats and corn are
furnished for his feed. The owner would
be considered as lacking in judgment and
common humanity If he fed his horse
drugs or narcotics. They would rob the
horse of his power and health.
The horse has the advantage of a simple
diet, with selected food elements that are
Well known to furnish him the greatest
amount OF energy and preserve him in
prime condition, while the owner in many
cases, partakes of some properly selected
food a. his meals but adds coffee, possibly
three times day.
If the owner has proven by daily expert
ence that he can digest coffee and that il
does not detract from his health in any
manner, 1t would be admissible for him to
continue its use, even although it fur
TisneS no food value, but is simply a Stim-
ulant and narcotic.
If, however, rheumatism, which proceeds

NOVEL PLEA FOR DURRANT.
ALLEGED TALK WITH BLANCHE
LAMONTS SPIRIT.
She Is Credited With Saying That
William Arnold, a Negro,
Killed Her.

Many peculiar reasons have peen
presented why Governor Budd should
stay the hand of the eXecutioner IN the
case of Durrant, who has stood SO long
in the shadow of the galloWs, but none
are more novel than some that are
now being urged by Chicago spiritual
lists
The Governor is in receipt of two let
tiers from that city, written only five
days ago, relating how Blanche La
mont's spirit had appeared at a seance
there on the night of the 18th and in
formed the select circle that Durrant
Gid not murder her, but that the muir
derer was one William Arnold, a negro,
and that he is still in this State.
The letters are at least worthy of
perusal. They both refer to the same
incident
FROM DENTIST CROSS.
To the Governor of California-My
Dear Sir: l am called upon to do the
most remarkable thing in writing you
this letter, and / think you will agree
with me in the above remark after you
have read it.
In the first place I will make a few
statements regarding myself. 1 am
practicing dentistry here in the city of
Chicago, and am well known among
the best class of dentists. 1 partici-
pate in the discussions in our dental
society meetings. and my opinions are
often published in '"The Dental Re
View." a monthly magazine devoted to
dental science and art.
/ mention these facts to prove to you
that I am not crazy-headed lunatic,
and what 7 q a 10 Writ
here in this letter may cause you to
think me a little off in the Uranium.
Be patient, and read on, and you will
learn ali l have to tell you. I wish to
tell you just a little about what is gen.
orally termed 'Spiritualism," and you
VIII soon learn the very remarkable
thing I have to tell you.
My father and mother during their
Earth life, were much opposed to such
things, and so l never gave the sub
ject any thought or attention until a
few years ago, when some friends of
mine, whose word 1 had no reason to
doubt, told me many remarkable things,
tending to prove that the spirits of our
departed friends could under certain
conditions communicate with US
through the veil called death.
1 made the resolve that / would follow
up course of investigation to deter
mine for myself the truth or falsity OF
this strange business.
The reNlt has been that I now know
beyond all peTadventure that it is true,
the spirits can and do come to us and
talk with us, yes talk in audible voice,
through a trumpet, that being a means
employed by them Ghe spirit friends)
TO enable them make themselves heard
by us.
The Enclosed card will show you
where my wife and myself meet a few
