Dry FEET.-Here is a bit Of in.
formation worthy Of attention


Moisture generally penetratss the
sole Of boots, the upper leather is not
easily wet, and is easily dried. TO
render the sole impervious to water,
order your boot-maker to cut pieces
Of canvass in the proper shape dip
them upon the inner soles before
putting on the outer soles Of the
boots, This simple process, it in

How SUGAR IS MADE WEITE.-The way In which
sugar is made perfectly white, it is said, was found
ont in a curious way hen that had gone through
mud puddle went with her muddy feet into sugar
house 1t was observed by some one that wherever
the tracks were, the sugar was whened This led to
some experiments. The result was that wet clay came
to be used in refining sugar 1t is used in this way
"The sugar is put into earthen Jars, shaped you
see the sugar loaves are The large ends upward
The smaller ends have hole in them. The jar is


filed with sugar, the clay put over the top and kept
wet. The moisture goes down through the sugar and
drops from hole in the small end of the jar. This
makes the sugar per perfectly white"

A New York date of the 13th says:


Rev. Henry Ward Baecher delivered 20 night at the
BROOKLYN Academy Of Music, address on universal
Snfrage.n He took the ground that all classes who
expected to reap any benefit from legislative action
should have a voice in making the laws. He claimed
that manhood has the light to suffrage, not perns-
sion: and it not just to exclude one section from
voting. Education tue watchWord tor safety

ignorant men to vote Suffrage itself was powerful

know in one year. by education, the difference between
a vote and club; the second year he would observe
the influence of party; the third, he would vote more
ntelligently the fourth, be would know the reqn'sl-
tons for candidate; and the fifth, he would vote as
we'll as any


The speaker advocated suffrage because
| through her influence high stand Of men in Qt1ce
would be secured. Woman's sphere was something
more than to rea}an at home and darn stockings anG
sew shirt buttons. He also sustained his views on
scrptural authority, saying the New Testament con-


ained nothing iutimatng the inequality of the sezea
! We don't want that woman should undertake to be
man. bat that she should bring into the nations aaira


the influence of her nature, that which she carried to
church aud to camp


Some objections had been made that a woman would
vote as did her husband and ncurase the effect or
that she would vote opposite and SO make discord y
the family; but he said it would be the same in politics
as in religion, If there difference they would
| go in harmony If woman had a recognised right to
influence her husband and sons to the manner III
which they should she also had right to vote
herself.


Human society needed the executive power of wo-
man. and he would put it upon their conscences to
use every possible effort to ameorate the condition
of the poor, the down-trodden aud the ignorant
He did not believe woman should fight because she
voted; all men who voted did not fight.


But if women could fight better than men, then let
them do it. On an average, her head was stronger

On the 9th of July next the people of Prairie county will be called upon to vote whether or not we shall have a District Court at Des Arc. We have called attention to this matter before, and we do so again. It is matter in which every citizen in the county is in- tcrested, and by which not one is in jured. The people of this section claim court for the convenience of this portion of the county. The people of the western and central portion of the county will surely not object to this Court, for it will not interfere in any degree with their wishes, conven- fence or designs. We would impress upon the people the importance af ac- ton in the manner. Let it be consid- cred, and let the people on the 9th of July vote for District Court at Dcs Arc, if they have their own interest at heart.

The Board of Registration began their work on yesterday and will con tinuc at this place for five days, when they will go to Hickory Plain, Austin, and the other precincts of the county, giving time and notice at each place. All who have carefully examined the condition of things, and have taken an appropriated view of the situation, must have concluded that to register is our policy, and that it is policy which should be pressed till every man who can has armed himself with a vote to defeat those measures and principles which will certainly be heaped upon us if we allow ourselves-the interested citizens of Aakansas--to fall into the minority. No thinking man will doubt for moment that if we will adopt this plan we can, notwithstand- ing the influence that will be brought to bear against us, keep the balance of State power in our own hands that is, in the hands of those who by birth, by citizenship, and by interest, arc en- titled to its management and capacita- ted for it's administration. If we would have our State escape the woful condition of Tennessee or Missouri if we would have any voice in the admin istration of our State government, we should register and prepare ourselves to express at the ballot box our prefer cnces and views. Let every man in the county, so far as it can be done, meet the commissioners, register, and prepare himself to vote in the coming election. As regards the convention for the purposes set forth in the bill, we will not pretend to advise the peo- pie; they must exercise their own judgment ill this matter. But if they look to us for advice, we say register and vote; if for convention, for such men as will do honor to the State and justice to all. Otherwise NO coNvEN- TON.

X crisis is coming again The morn ing that will break soon must waken the nation from the horrid nightmare of the past two years. or witness her, chained maniac, in the bcdlam of political madness, if the amazing progress of usurpation as systematic practice, Is not arrested m the South with swift and striking facility, it will infect and subdue the North. The ascendancy of moral principle and rational conscience connot be measured by the spirit with which one defends his own rights but the sole tests is the zeal with which we defend those of others. NIr- ginia saw in the Boston port bill of lI45 a blow at the principle which made her own chief security, and without unfriendly deeds toward herself she called her statesmen to counsel and her rifemen to arms, though she was to Massachutts as a separate nation. Will Boston see in Richmond trial of her own safety i? Will she realize that city under the heel of despot is simply the case of a city without foreign help? Did Massa- chusetts establish her libertyy What must have happened Boston if colonies safe from British aggressions had not barred their bosom with hersy

 It is fearfully dangerous to ignore prin- ciple in irlulging party passion, zeal for reform, or advocacy of public measures. Principle is the cohesion of civil order, and when ignored abroad, it can not be saved at home. Principles in the heav- ems keeps each planet in its orbit, and, in society, each person in his. If it could slacken above, worlds would tumble into ruin and the universe pass away. On earth, anarchy is the result.

 Men who believe these truths will shud- der if they think what consequences may follow fatal indulgence of military con. tempt of law. No longer we inyeigh against particular outrages. We deplore the disastorous prevalence of growing insensibility to outrage, so that by becom- ing so common and familiar, the most presumptuous and lawless usurpations and expressions are destitute of novelty enough to incur the name of outrage, a term under stood as applying to something cxtraordi- nary. ne pcopic aio uio"sihse "ien uoi' inattention over daily bulletins, the most inconsiderable of which seven years ago would have shaken every community in the Union, and kindlcd indignation in every face of excited groups collected in our bamlets from Maine to Texas, by the mutual astonishment of freemen that arrogance so high-handed would dare show its teeth on our shores.

 The time is comming when the people must reflect upon and realize these terrible tendencies or else, if they do not, and that speedily, the time will come in the North that rcpohs ,ciU De stirred up as preterts for usu,pations-that exciting new outbreaks, and they, in turn author izing new expressions. A negro military police would then complete the work preside over elections, enforce military orders and levy contributions. Two parties would be in the country-thosc who adhered to tue de facto government, and those who did not. The compulsory business of the mass of the former would do to support their leader in prescribing the latter.

There was meeting last week, as we are informed by Forney's Press, in Washing ton City, of several members of the Ma tional Republican Committee, and a quorum of the Congressional Union Re publican Committee, to take into consider ation the policy to be pursued to protect the interests and devclope the strength of the Radical party in the Southern States, We arc told the discussions were har- monious and friendly throughout, and that on tho great questions of the conduct of the national campaign and the more specific work of thoroughly and systemati- caly canvassing the South, there was evinced perfect concord and unison.

 Efficient and energetic measures will soon be perfected for the dissemination of republican principles and arguments throughout that section of our land so long closed to mails, newspapers and free speech" This meeting it is said, will result in call for meeting of the Ma tional Committee at an early day.

 From such facts as these, which show the activity prevailing in the Radical party and their determination to obtain the political control of the Southern States, the friends of the South may learn what they are to expect. The efforts fof the Radicals to cnlie hten that benighted re- zion will of course chiefly be directed toward the blacks. Upon them they rely for the consummation of their schemes As their plans all contemplate the deg radiation on the white man, they have nothing to hope from them. Only the few who are base enongh to sacrifice their honor and barter their country for the hope of little official plunder, will be influenced by any argument they can make; but the danger is that they will so poison the minds of the blacks, and arouse the indignation of the whites, that state of things will be produced which will result in tumults and collisions of the most fearful and bloody character. Their success depends upon exciting i'll feeling between the races, in making the negroes believe that the whites who have raised, fed and clothed them from childhood, cared for them in sickness and in health, are their natural foes, and this impression they will labor to create, carels>s of the terrible consequences that may result The Radicals have already exposed their hand, and if the people of the South, thus fcrewarned, do not take steps to counter act their machinations the fault will be their own Louisville Courier.

A ST LOUIS RELIC A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, writing from St. Louis, says:

 "While walking through the city, l came upon the oldest house in its limits. This ragged and rib-showing old structure stands on the northwest corner of Third and Plum streets, where it was erected nearly century ago. It is one story, high shouldered relic, looking as if the countless rains that pelted the faggins near by had stealthily driven it a foot or two deeper into the earth. Perpendicular hewed logs, chinked in with lime stone and mortar, compose it's sides, while from the center of the roof towers a stone chim- ney with one immense rude Hue. Of the original building nothing probably remains save the hewed logs and the chimney, but these are so palpably things of the last century that no one with drop of anti quarian reverence in his nature can resist the temptation to stop and muse over the mutations of the hundred years that have scared and blackened them where they stand. When they were first shaped into cabin, tho site of Cincinnati was an unbroken wilderness; St. Louis, itself French hamlet and the thirteen colonies struggling for independence.

LYING IN BED.-It is often question among people who are acquainted with the anatomy and physiology of man, whether lying with head exalted or level is most wholesome. Most consulting their own ease on this point, argue in favor of that which they prefer.

 Now, although many delight in bolster ing up their heads at night, and sleep soundly without injury, yet we declare it to be a dangerous habit. The vessels through which the blood passes from the heart to the head are always lessened in their cavities when the head is resting in the bed higher than the body; therefore, in all diseases attended with fever, the head should be pretty near on level with the body; and people ought to accustom themselves to sleep thus, and avoid dan- ger.

In domestic happiness, the wife's in. huence is much greater than her hus- bands; for the one, the first cause-mu- tual love and con6dence-being grant ed the whole comfort of the household de bends upon trifes more immediately un- der her jurisdiction. By her manage ment of small sums her husbands res probability and credit are created or de- stroyed No fortune can stand tho con stant leakage of extravagance and mis- management; and more is spent in trifcs than women would easily believe. The one great expense, whatever it may be Is turned over and carefully reflected on the income is prepared to meet it; but 1t Is pennies imperceptibly sliding away which do mischief and the wife alone can stop for it does not come within d mans pro vince. There is often an unsuspected trife to be saved in every household.

 It is not in economy alone that the wife's attention is so necessary, but Tn those nceties which make wcll.regulated house An unfurnished cruetstand, q missing key, buttonless shirt, soiled table cloth, mustard pot with its old contents shaking hard and down about it are really nothings, but each can raise an angry word and cause discomfort De pend upon it, there is great deal of do nestle happines about well dressed mutton chop, or tidy breakfast table Men grow sated of beauty Tired O music, are often too wearied for conver sation, however intellectual, but they cal always appreciate well-swept hearth ant smiling comfort.
