THE CHISHOLM TRAGEDY.-The last
act connected with this brutal affair was
enacted in Mississippi last week. Riley,
negro, was hanged for the murder of
Gully. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Chisholm was murdered by the
Kemper county mob, because, as they
alleged, he was privy to or the instigator
OF the Gully murder. On this bare sus-
picion he was beset By the mob, and with
his brave daughter who came to her faith >
ers defense brutally slain. Riley was af-
terward convicted of the crime, and on
the scafold every exertion was made to
induce him to say something duplicating
Judge Chisholm with the murder OF Gul-
ly, but the negro refused to go before his
creator with lie upon his lips. 1t will
now be in order for the Kemper county
chiyalry to trump up some other way OF
defaming the character Of the man they
murdered. We agree with the Spirit Of
The Times when it says that the friends of
Chisholm should not permit the remains
of the two martyrs TO remain in Mlssiss-
ippi soil, but have them removed to some
spot within the boundaries of loyal
State.

senting its claims. But we watched the
canvass in Butte county last year with
some degree of interest, knowing that the
vexed question of the county seat would
pop up somewhere. We thought at the
time that Butte had not chosen it best
Republican, and were therefore inclined
TO accept the Enterprise article for gos-
pei. This county seat question has agi-
tated Butte for the last ten years and its

continue sending the paper for a

good opportunity to comply with
the rule and no one can feel that he

injury to the paper and those who do
pay and there is no security except
in the strict cash-in-advance plan.
We hope our readers will bear this in
mind, and now that we have given
this favorable opportunity We hope
there will be no delinquents among
those who intend to pay at ali.

Editor of The Republican:


Some time ago you requested your
readers to report their observations
upon wat is Familiarity known as
~Hog Cholera"


Recently / have been directly in
terested in this subject aad have
sought by careful dissections for the
pathology of this fatal malady. L
will only give in this item the con-
ditions found in pigs aged six months,
and for the sake of brevity will men
ton only the affected parts.


The mucous membrane OF the
larynx and trachea was pale, thick
ened, and covered with quantity Of
tenacious mucous. From ten to
thirty small patches Of Inflammation
were scattered along the intestines
from the duodenum to the colon, and
the vessels leading to and from these
parts were congested so that the
cappilaries were distinctly visible, in
the vicinity OF these patches within,
and sometimes adhering to its walls
were found about an equal number
OF fiat worms very much resembling
tape worms il not some variety Of
that parasite. A large number OF
round worms are associated with
these in some cases, and in one place
was inflammation of the spleen.

RUssELLvILLE, Feb. 9th, 1878.

 Mir. ED1ToR: noticed in your yalua- ble paper, an article headed Flair Warning,' in which you stated that Pope county would contend for a place on the State ticket, in the coming cam paign. You also remarked that you have in Pope county good timber to make a Governor. This article Is in- tended to endorse that last remark, and | assert that no county in the State has q man better suited or qualified to fill the honorable position of Governor, than has the county of Pope. And the history of the State will bear me out in remark that Pope county, although an old county, has never been represented in any of the State departments, and now that we have man who is well qualified; who is fully identified with every interest of the State; who is .a good financeer, and has conducted his own affairs successfully. and, who is q ripe scholar, and a gentleman in every sense of the word, we think it nothing but right that Pope county should as sert her claims to be represented. We are tired of voting all the time, and mean this year to be represented.

 Pope county will present in the com- ing campaign such man as we have above referred to, for Governor of the State, an1 that man will be Benjamin T. Embry, who, if elected, will be sure to reflect credit upon the State and up on himself. SlMON.

 --One of the Dardanelle merchants, c. M. Freed, stepped up to the Arkan- sian office the other day and subscribed for 90 copies of the paper to be sent to his customers throughout the county. He not only thus showed that he knows how to appreciate home paper but he showed that he feels an interest in the welfare of his customers and the gener- al prosperity of the country.

Miss Jennie Y. Stanton is lecturing
in the East on subjects connected with
the intellectual advancement of women.
The New York papers speak in high
terms of her lectures, and from the fol-
lowing extract from one of them, enti-
tied "How Shall Women be Educated"
we judge she is well deserving of all the
praise she is receiving:


Mothers, educate your daughters in
every science that can be utilized to their
benefit. Fathers, let the capabilities of
your children and not theirsex influence
your partiality in bestowiDg upon them
educational advantages.


Never mind if some esteemed friend,
or lover, is afraid Of a girl "making a
man OF herself" An educated woman
knows that can never be done! A we'll
educated woman, who is in normal con-
dition, always wins in the race of life for
health, wealth, excellence or distinction.
Never mind if even the majority Of men
superciiOusly remind us of our f'sphereU
or discourse to us of Gods purpose in
creating as 1.-THE glory Of motherhood"
etc. No man can ever know half so
much about ''the glory of motherhoodi'
as even the weakest and most ignorant of
mothers.


In my eagerness and anxiety to have
I the large majority of women who are so
situated As to be mostly inaccessi BILE to
culture, who have much poverty and
prejudice to overcome, l do not forget
/ that they need special inspiration to en-
deavOr in the way of proper OmpanfOn-
| ship and proper books, and my heart goes
out to them with a great love and care.
/ In conclusion, man represents power,
woman represents the affections. Man
provides for woman, woman cares for
that provision. Man dispenses literally,
woman economies and utiliZes the
means entrusted to her keeping. Man is
more efficient for progress, but woman
for elevation. Man may lay q broader
scientific basis, but woman will build up
higher toward Heaven.


IL is impossible that society should
ever attain to higher moral condition
without the higher culture of woman.


Society is to be elevated by the omnip-
Otent pOwerof moral education, of which
woman may be the principal channel.


It is useless to talk about the equality
Of the sexes, for they are not and never
can be equal.


Man is the superior of woman in foree
and science, but woman is superior Ia


man in that without which force and
science are worthless, the moral nature


which bestows happiness here and lead.
to infinitely higher happiness here
after.


l will not omit to thank the noble


men who protect the noble women. no


forget to thank the noble women who


in spite Of all hinderanees, in spite o


defamation, and in the very face Of mar
. tyrdom, are struggling to elevate thei

Wonderful Little Sisters! Blessed angels OF

You to unending gratitude. To have saved this

mission which we may all envy, and to which

that, "It is estimated that the bones Of

lime enough to make a marble mantle

ceived, therefore, that in the course OF
about ten years each of us eats about
three or four mantle-pieces and few sets
of front door steps. And in a long life !
suppose it is fair to estimate that healthy
American could devour the Capitol at
Washington, and perhaps two or three

The mother seal builds her nursery be-
meath the surface of the ice in such
manner that it can enter in from the water
below; here the young seal passes its in
fancy, and when the returning heat of
summer has destroyed its igloo or dwelling,
the young seal is old enough to take care
of itself; but this mode of lodging its youth
beneath the ice is we'll known to the bear,
who, with his keen scent, soon detects its
whereabouts, and, making a spring, comes
down heavily with all its weight on the
pool of the igloo, crushes it in, and imme-
diately seizes the young seal with its paw.
Here, it might be supposed, the hungry
bear at once devours its prey; no, no, it is
far too wary to do SO; it knows full well
that where baby is, there must of neces-
sity be mother, and that she will be in
search of her darling; therefore the bear
scrapes away the snow from the seal hole,
and, holding the young seal by the fippers,
allows it to founder about, and when the
mother approaches, the bear slyly draws
the young seal toward it until the old one
is within reach, when he seizes her with
the other paw, and thus captures both.
Bruins method of capturing seal in the
water is as follows He sinks his body
beneath the surface of the water, leaving
only the head above, which resembles
piece of ice; and when the seal raises its
head above the surface, Bruin quietly
sinks, and, swimming under the seal, seizes
it. Thus the poor stupid seal becomes
victim to misguided confidence.
