The morality of the French people has been
a fertile source of sermOniZing for u good


many years, and soOth to say, the light liter
ature of sunny France is not Of a character TO
support the notion of an austere people, while,
at least in Parisian society, the relations of
the sexes have not always been of the most
orthodox kind. Yet though French morals
have been so often animadyerted on severely


by good people who believe implicitly in the
purity of London, New York, Chicago, and
San Francisco, and who usually form their
estimate from an evenings entertainment at
the -HaJR9e or the jGyabI Gts FlelVS, there are
not wanting indications that in some things


we might with profit take leaf from the
ethical system of our lively friends For


they certainly do appear to entertain an OBJ
lection te frauds and cheats, the like of which


viii We fear be sought in vain beneath the
expansive etiiuences of the Star Spangled


Banner. The prompt and very serious way

lister at the Court of ST. James achieved 10

proof OF this and recently they have in qnite

Of spiritual photographs" OF course such
an enterprise as this might have hourished
on this side of the water until all the partners
grew gray, or made large fortunes and re-
tired Here, when even so Infamous u swim
die as that of the Katie King" Is exploded,
no steps are taken to punish the scoundrels
who have been plundering the public for
months. and all they have to bear is
fire of blank cartridges from the newspapers.
In France, however, they really do manage
these things better. They examined the
spiritual photograph machinery, found d
number of dolls heads in the camera, and
quite as matter of course sent the cheats 10
Jail. Here we pass cart-loadS of statutes
against swindling, and then placidly spend
our surplus dollars in being swindled, and
never dream of invoking the law. We may
mention rs another trait of French morality
the scrupulOus fidelity with which the debts
of the nation are met; a fidelity SO recog-
nized that the credit of France has never
sunk even when the Petroleuses were raying
in the streets of Paris, and which has enabled
her to stand higher on the exchanges of the
world than We have done, solely because the
perfect system of ethics handed down 20 Us
from the Puritan Fathers has not prevented
the growth, in several of our States. of "a
haukering after repudiation. On the whole
perhaps it will be well to rein in the natural
inclination TO hurl withering sarcasms at
" French morality" at least until We have
got morality of our own that will wash.

THE DEMOCRAT is thoroughly in- dependent in it's course, unde- no pledge or covenant to support the schemes or fortunes of any man or set of men, always having at heart first, the good of the people of Popo county, and of the state of Arkan sas. It claims no right to lead or direct in politics, or any other sphere; but it does claim the right, and will fcarlessly and at all times assert it, to speak it's own opinions, on all matters coming within the scope of its duty as an independent journal. Whatever prominence it maintains in the affairs of this county or State, will be voluntarily accorded by the people who support it. In short the DEMOCRAT wishes to be judged solely upon it's own merits as local and state newspa- per, having for its chief object the dissemination of the news of the day with such comments upon current topics as seem appropriate and arc conscientiously entertained by its management. It will heartily sup port all movements, political or otherwise, which promise to fur thur, and unhesitatingly oppose those which would jeopardizc, the interests of the people. In every department it will be as cnterpris- ing as it's patronage will justify. Sensible men. will approve the busi- ness management that limits expen- diture to the bounds of income; on ly fools or enemies expect a degree of excellence in all points that can alone be attained by the possession of resources and income.

THE SUN.

 NEW YORK CITY. WEEKLY AND DAILY FOR 1875.

 The Weekly Sun has now attained a circulation of over seventy thou sand copies. Its readers are found ill every State and Territory, and its quality is well known to the public. We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up to the old standard, but to improve and add to it's variety and power.

 The Weekly Sun will continue to be thorough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at full length when of moment, and always we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instructive manner.

 It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best family newspaper in the world. It will be full of enter taining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will print nothing to offend the most scruplllous and deli- cate taste. It will always contain the most interesting stories and TO- mances of the day carefully selected and legibly printed.

 The Agricultural Department is Il prominent feature in the Weekly Sun, and its articles will always be fresh and useful to the farmer.

 The number of men dependent on politics is increasing, and the Weekly Sun is their paper especial ly. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and for the election of the best men. It exposes the cor cuptiOn that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of re- publican institutions. It has no fear of knaves and seeks no favors from their supporters.

 The markets of every kind and the fashions are regularly reported in its columns

 The price of the Weekly Sun is one dollar year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six columns. As this barely pays the expenses of pa per and printing, we are not able to make any discount or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to extend its circula- tion. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage ill ad- vance, one dollar year, with twen- ty cents the cost of prepaid postage added, is the rate of subscription. It is not necessary to get up club in order to have the Weekly Sun at this rate. Anyone who sends one dollar and twenty cents will get the paper postpaid, for year.

 We have no travelling agents.

 The Weekly Sunlight pages, fifty-six columns. Only $l.2O q year, postage prepaid. No discount from this rule.

 The Daily Sun.-A large four page newspaper of twenty-eight col umns. Daily circulation over l2O- 900. All the news for two cents. Subscription, postage prepaid % cents month, or $G.5O year. To clubs of ten or over discount of twenty per cent.

The Westminster Review quotes
from Miss Nightingale, some very
sensible remarks on the subject Of
night air. Her accomplishments as
a scholar, her experience as a nurse,
give great weight to her views on
this important subject. She says
the dread of night air is an extraor-
binary fallacy What air can we
breath at night but a night air.
Our only choice lies between pure
night air from without or foul air
from within. 1t is unaccountable
that most people prefer the latter
What would they say if it is proved
to be true that one-half of the dis
eases that we suffer from are occa-
stoned by people sleeping with their
windows shut? An open window
during most nights in the year can
never hurt any one. In great cities
night air is often the purest and
best that can be obtained during
the twenty-four hours. Therefore,
in town it would be better, if either
must be done, to shut the windows
during tue day than during the
night, for the sake of the sick.
The absence of the smoke and the
quiet of the streets make the night
the best time for airing the pa
tients. A physician considered as
high medical authority on eonsump-
tion and climate, asserts that the air
in London is never so pure as after
10 O'Clock at night.


An immense amount Of fresh air
is required for healthy respiration.
The average respiration of man is
estimated at twenty-fouF cubic
inches, and the average number Of
respirations during a minute is
twenty. Therefore. 400 cubic feet
of air pass through the lungs of an
ordinary man in twenty-four hours.
And yet, knowing these facts, we
shut up our house and go to sleep
without a thought for the supply Of
the life giving oxygen, as necessary
for the well-being of the delicate It's
sues of the body. If we had to buy
pure air as we do precious stones,
we should soon appreciate its
worth. Because it is s'free as air'
we are unwilling to take the pains
