What change Tn favor of the South can possibly result from Tildcn or Hayes election?"-Car- lisle Praiaie Flower.

 As to Hayes election, none. But as to Tilden's, the benefits that will accrue to the South are so numerous and so manifest, that 1t looks silly to ask such q question. The election of Til den and Hendricks involves the success of the Democratic party, and the success of the Democrat ic party involves the who.e mate rial welfare of the South. It must either be continuation of the par tisan discrimination against the south which the republican party has kept up for the past eleven years, or it must be a correction of these evils by the Democratic party with Tilden and Hendricks at the nead of the general admin istration. If the South has sutf- cred anything since the surrender of the Confederates-and just God knows she has suffered all but total desolation then is there something in favor of the South to be gained by the cleo tion of Tildcn. Will it be any thing in favor of the South to be guaranteed equality with the other states of the Union? Then will it benefit her to elect Tildon. Will it be anything iu her favor to

It UOln8 so put biic OUStlnitc blindness and inactivity of the merchants of Little Rock and the towns on the Little Rock and Ft. Smith Ky, in this county. We arc astonished at the sluggishness and indifference manifested in this matter, and we now tell the merchants of Russellyille, Atkins and Little Rock that if their poli- cy of restricting their trade to their own vicinities, and offering no encouragement to wider range of trade continues, their fate is sealed. It is the history of all towns which have refused to open up good avenues of ap- proach to their market, that they are out-stripped and distanced by more enterprising and appie- ciative rivals. Good approaches to . market are the making of the place, and the disi egard of the same will always be the death knell to them.

 We will not perhaps not have another opportunity to impress this truth upon our m srchants and those of Little Rock, in con nection with the trade of Newton, Boone and Searcy counties, for those people must have a market either on the Fort Smith railroad, or at Springfield, and If the towns on tue Fort Smith road will do nothing to invite this trade, they will reluctantly but cerainly be compelled to close in with the overtures now being made by Springfield.

 We advise action at once. By the 1st of December there can be a real first class wagon road made from here to Harrison, over which q full load of goods can be drawn, or buggy driven with ease and comfort.

 This very thing is required and must be accomplished, or the hundreds of thousands of dollars which would be spent in Arkan- sas from those counties will go to Missouri. The merchants and live men of Dover, Russellyille and Atkins can we'll afford Il con siderable outlay on this road. What if it cost them one per cent. of their sales for a whole year? What will that amount to, if they can thereby double, trible, or quadruple their trade?

 The merchants of Little Rock can also afford to do handsome part in this matter, for to them will really accrue the greatest ad- vantage. They will do all the jobbing trade for the country stores in that part of Arkansas, and we say now that it is q good trade that comes from those coun- ties. Little Rock, if she would ever make distributing centre, must begin to show some enter prise in inviting trade. Will not she commence at once?

 Hoping that this matter will no longer be treated with the in difference and slovenliness of the past, We commend these matters to the careful consideration of those interested.

We receive, says the New York Led ger, great many communications from correspondents who are suffering from dyspepsia, torpid liver, or some other disease caused by bad digestion, and who wish to know what to do to regain their health. Some of them have tried many doctors and many kinds of treat. ment, but find themselves to be no bet ter. They are tired bothering with the doctors," they say, and would like to know if they chad better not lei them alone altogether"

 It seems that most of the doctors tel their patients to take outdoor exercise to be careful with their diet, and to eat slowly. But it is seldom that the pa tients, according to their own state ments, strictly follow these simple rules So the doctors cannot be as much 8 fault as they are generally supposed tt be. The last rule, eat slowly, if carried out, would go a great way towards cur ing 8 dyspeptic. Almost all peopl, troubled with dyspepsia, or any kindred disease, eat too fast. They hardly eve take time to masticate their food, bu 1 bolt it almost whole. Let them eat slow ly, and when it has become habit wit them to do so, they will have bette health, and find life to be sweeter an, in every way more desirable.

Pamela is one of the coun-

insisted was carried for the
Democrats last November by
fraud, violence and intimida-
ton. The Republicans have
squelched that falsehood. The
Star says:


On the occasion of the mee-
ting of the Republican con-
vention hero on the 24th ult,
a resolution was introduced
charging violence and fraud
ir carrying the late election,
which resolution was mani
mously voted down,and rejec
ted by the Convention, and
the leading Republicans on
that occasion in theirspeeches
denounced as false the report
that violence or fraud had
been used. Thus Convention
was brought together and con
trolled by the leading and
most unconpromising Radi-
Gals >in the county, and should
be taken into consideration
by the investigating commit
tee.


- The New Orleans Nor
ming Star tells how to support
a newspaper: Subscribe and
pay for it.


Read it thoughtfully, and
talk to your acquaintances a
bout its contents, commend
ing this or that article.


Read its advertisements,
and when'you make purchases
from the advertisers, mention
where you saw the advertise
ment.


If you are in business, ad-
vertise in it yourself.


How not to support a pa
per: Borrow it regularly from
your neigh5or.


When you speak Of it, just
say, in a contemptuous way,
that there's nothing in it,
without showing how there
can be absolutely nothing in
what other men. at least as
intelligent as yourself, think
there is a great deal.


Make it a point never to
buy of those who seek to at
tract your custom by adverti-
sing but should you find it to
your advantage to patronize
them, be very careful pot to
state that you have seen their
advertisement.


Never advertise Your bust
ness i'm its columns in the usu-
al and legitimate way, but get
all the gratis notices that you
can.


Make it do all the adverti-
sing and job work for your
pet charity for nothing, and
then forget to give it credit.
If you can make 1t do three
times more work than is ne
cessary at the same price, so
much the better. You know
that the proper way to prove
your charity is to abstain rig
orously from parting with
your own money,and to oforce
others to spend theirs.

The report of the Royal Geological
society Of Ireland states that "during
the year the gardens sustained a heavy
loss in the death Of the beautiful lioness
familiarly called Old Girl. She was
born in the gardens, of South African
stock. on September 8, 1859, and died on
October Z, 1875, after six weeks of pros
tratioh from chronic bronchitis. During
her long career she presented the gardens
with fifty-four cubs, of which she ac-
tually reared fifty, losing only four. This
Is feat unprecedented in the annals of
menageries and gardens. She was an
animal of very high spirit, although very
gentle, and was admitted by Judges to be
the handsomest iOness they had ever
seen. Her offspring not only added TO
the attractions of the gardens, but the
iudici0us saleOf p0rtiOnG them brought
ono thousand four hundred pounds in
cash TO the society. The closing weeks
Gf her useful life were marked by a
touching incident wGrthy of being re-
corded. The carnivOra when in health
have no objection to the presence of rats
in their cages; on the contrary, they
rather welcome them as a relief to the
monotony of existence, which constitutes
the chief trial Of a wild animal in con-
finement. In illness the case is different;
for the ungrateful rats begin to nibble
the toes of the lord of the forest before
his death. and add considerably to his
discomfort. To save the lioness from this
annoyance, fine little tan terrier was
placed in her cage, who was at first re-
ce1ved with a sulky growl; but when the
first rat appeared, and the lioness saw the
little dog toss Kim in the air, catching
him with professional skill across the
Ioins with a snap as he came down, she
began to understand what the terrier was
for. She coaxed him to her side, folded
her paw around him, and each night the
little creature slept at the breast of the
Goness, enfoIded with her paws, and
watching that his natural enemies did
not disturb the rest Of his mistress. The
rats had a bad time during those six
weeks"
