Spring is Coining.
llo! oli! ho! the w inds are saying—
‘•Spring is coming, full of mirth,

Lightly on the frozen earth.
Storms may wake and winds he w ailing.
Ootids he black with icy rain;
Yet be sure the grass is creeping

Happiness.
If solid happiness we prize,
Within our breast this jewel lies.
And they are fools who roam;
The world' hath nothing to bestow,—
From ouK own selves our bliss must flow
And that dear hut, our home.—Cotton.
A Discontented Poet.
Man's a fool!
When it’s hot he wants it cool;
When it’s cool lie wants it hot—
Ne'er contented with his lot.
When it’s dry
lie for showers is heard to sigh;
When—to meet his wish—it rains.
Of the wet the fool complains.
Hot or cold, dry or wet.
Nothing suits that he can get;
I consider, as a rule,
Man's a fool.
Forever Fading.
The verdure of the leaf,
fl he rtrinrit of the rose;
Alas! alas! how very brief
Their beauty glows.
The brilliant summer sky,
How soon ’tis overcast;
The lov mg and the lustrous eye
Finds time to rest at last.
Ambition's glorious dream
Kails of its loftiest goal;
’Tis ?o with every w orldly scheme,
Only! survives’the soul.
Progress.
llow beautifully has the Quaker
poet, Whittier, expressed the mighty
iiiarrh of events—the lightning-like
progress of the age.
Behind the squaw’? light birch canoe,
The steamer rocks and raves;
And city lots are staked for sale
Abtveold Indian graves

Of nations yet to be—
The first low w a^h of waves where soon
shall roam a human sea.
The rudiments of Umpire here
Yrc plastic yet and warm:
The chaos of a mighty world
Is rounding into form.

Ol'lt PROSPECTS.
Coon Valley, Arkansas,)
March 15th, 1875. j"
Editor of the Democrat:
Dear Sir: If you will allow me
a little Space in your valuable
columns, 1 will in brief, give you
the prospects of our fanners in
('oon Valley. There never was
a spring that opened to us with
brighter prospects than the pres
ent one, though we have had an
uncommon cold winter for this
country, the mercury sinking as
low as zero and freezing the ground
to the depth of four inches, and
the spring is a little later than
common, still every indication is
good for a splendid crop year.
Hut still better than all is the
bright prospects of a settled and
quiet government, which has
brought joy and gladness to the
heart of every man, woman and
child. May God bless our gov
ernor, and give him a clear and
sound mind in all of his otticial
duties, is a prayer that the majori
ty of the people of Arkansas can
say Amen to.
The farmers here appear to all
be in the best of spirits, and are
settling down to business in right
good earnest, and each one appears
to be fully determined that' his
crop shall be the earliest crop in
the ncighltorlteod,—but there is
still a disposition to plant too
much cotton. I hope our farmers
will bear this in mind, and plant
a little more corn, more jMitatoes,
more vegetables, and by ull means
u puu'u oi cane, nui says one we
can’t get the need. lie has not
read the advertisement in your
paper of cane seed for sale at the
Hardware store in your town. So
much lie looses for not taking the
paper and reading the advertise
ments. There is now a good
prospect for a large immigration
to this part of Arkansas. 1 learn
that already there has been quite
a number of inquiries from differ
ent states about this part of the
country. The extreme cold weath
er in northern states will cause
thousands of farmers to look for a
milder climate. The climate that
they are longing for, we have, and
in this valley we have thousands
of acres of as fertile soil as the
sun ever shone upon, which can
be bought at n low price, and on
easy terms. Now we want the
practical farmer, the thorough
going energetic man that is not
afraid of hard work and the me
chanics to come and settle with
us, to all such wc will give the
hand and a hearty welcome.
Bring your wives, your children,
your tools, your stock, and possess
flic land that will give you the
best returns of any soil in the
l' ion. Jolts Lsocs.
Her lliisbiiml'H letter.
A middle aged woman had n
letter handl'd* her at the genera
delivery it: the |>ost oHloe yester
day, and she sat down on a window
sill ami read it» Her interest wai
1 intense from the start, and sh(
spoke up and said:
“He calls me his little darling.
That's good!”
After reading a few more lines
she said:
“And lie misses my society st
much !’•’
Half way down the page she
spoke again:
“And he calls me his sunbeam:
his guardian angel!'’
She climbed up. on the sill c
little further, turned the lettei
over, and mused:
“And lie’s lost three pounds ol
flesh worrying over my health,
j He’s just a dear, loving old dar
ling, that’s what he is.”
She reached the top of the
I fourth page and exclaimed:
“What! going to Flint, eh?”
Further down she growled;
“And lie met that red-headed
widow Kcrnshaw on the cars, eh?
I’ll see about that. He probably
didn't tell her he was married!”
She got down to the “P. S.,”
glanced over aeouple of lines, and
then yelled right out:
“Not coining homo until next
week! Trains snowed in! Great
press ofbusiness! Fll see whether
he isn’t coming. Bov, where’s
the telegraph officer”
And she ran across the street
and sent him a dispatch which
made the operator’s hair stand up
as lie received and read it.
llow Often May We Eat.
It has been demonstrated that,
at certain intervals, when food is
received into the stomach, gastric
juice is secreted to digest it, and
; that no more gastric juice is se
creted than is required for the di
gestion of the proper quantity of
food. If a person eat twice or
thrice a day, at regular periods,
the gastric juice is secreted by
' the stomach to digest the food
i it lias received. If, while the
food is being digested, more food
is introduced into the stomach,
digestion, in relation to the food
j already in the stomach, is arrest
ed. Fob- instance a person takes,
in the morning, a piece of bread
land several potatoes; now it will
[ take about three hours for the
stomach to dispose of that food.
| Suppose tlie person, about an hour
after eating this food, takes a
piece of bread and an apple or two;
what would happen? The diges
; tion that was going on in the stom
ach would immediately stop, and
not ho resumed until the food that
was received last was brought into
the condition of the first. * Sup
jiose lie took food every hour,
what would he the consequence?
The stomach would become per.
nianently worn out, and could do
nothing perfectly—working ai*
the time without rest. But if the
person possessed a good consti
tution ami a large amount of vital
power, lie would not feel, at tirst
this drain upon his system, but
sooner or later be would have to
pay the penalty of outraged nature,
For instance, a person may have
a large capital in a bank; he caiv
live upon the interest very well,
but he draws upon his capital,
lie docs not feel this drain at first
because he has so large a bank
' account; but if he keeps on, he
will become, sooner* or later a
bankrupt. Some persons have an
enormous amount of vitality—
i good constitutions. It is said of
these persons nothing hurts them; I
they can eat anil drink anything
with impunity. This is a fatal
mistake; see how many years of
life they are cutting off by such
foolishness. If such persons live
to the age of seventy or eighty,
they might have reached the age
! of one hundred or more years, by
better dietetic habits.
Pause! young man. You want
to get married, and it is about the
time you did! Hut recollect that
unmarried in n don’t have to sit

THE NEW PARTY.
Where It In—Whnt It Consist!*
of—Wliut It Meatus to I>o.
Ci.kvki.ani>, Ohio, March 12.—
About sixty delegatus, represent
ing twelve states and the District
of Columbia, assembled at the
Hollis hall this afternoon with the
view of forming a new independ
ent political party.
The convention was called to
gether by E. II. Olliman, chairman
of the national executive commit
tee, appointed by a previous con
vention held at Indianapolis, No
vember, 28, 1874.
The call fbr the meeting was
read by J. 15. Buchanan, secreta
ry of the executive committee.
The call sets forth as the objects
of the meeting the preparation of
a platform for the proposed party,
and the fixing of the time and
place of holding the future con
vention, which shall nominate
candidates for president and viee
I president upon the following ba
sis of union:
i First—It is the duty of the gov
! eminent to establish a monetary
j system based upon the faith and
revenues of the nation, and in
: harmony with the genius of the
' government and adapted to the
i demands of a legitimate busine s.
i To this end the circulating notes
: of all local currency, should be
' withdrawn from circulation, and
1 a paper money issued by the gov
. eminent directly to the people
without the intervention of any
| system of banking corporations;
which money' shall be legal tender
1 in payment of all debts, both pub
lic and private, and duties on im
I ports included. This money to
I be interchangeable, at the option
of holders, with registered gov
ernment bonds bearing a rate of
interest not exceeding three per
cent, per annum.
Second—The interest on the
public debt, and that portion of
the principal of the same, which
! is, by the express terms of the
; law creating it, payable in coin,
| shall be so paid.
A permanent organization was
effected by the election of Prof.
Hoostcn of 111., as chairman; T.
! Campbell of 111., C. \V, Campbell
(col.), of Va., and R. J. Treve
lock of Mich., as vice presidents;
A. C. Cameron of 111., secretary.
A committee of one from each
state was appointed on resolu
tions, to which a number of reso
lutions, after being read, were re
ferred, including the following, in
substance: That congress should
provide for river and harbor ap
propriations as an object of na
tional couccrn, when necessary
for the safety and convenience of
commerce; that the government
should secure to all citizens their
i lalienable r ghts, except when by
valid IcL'islation thev are denrived
thereof by means of crime; that
the committee on platform are
hereby instructed to confine itself
to the subject of national paper
monoy, and that the convention
limit itself to this matter exclu
sively; that the productive indue-,
tries of the country should re
ceivc the greatest possible protec
tion and the support of the gov
ernment; that the present revenue :
laws are unjust and unequal, and
that a more just method of rais
ing revenue should be adopted;
that the national bauking law lias
established a monopoly oppres
sive to the people, dangerous to
their liberties in its influences on
the press and state and national
legislation, and demanding its re
peal; appealing to the American
people to break loose from party
trammels and unite on the basis
of a government whose legislation
and administration shall protect
the industries of the nation from
the averice of capitalists.
Several speeches wore made
and the convention took a recess
till the afternoon.
On reassembling, the conven
tion was informed that the com
mittee on resolutions would not
be ready to report until tomor
row morning. A general discus
sion of the subjects before the
convention then took place.
St. Louis was selected ns the
place for holding the next meet
ing, the time not being decided on.
Adjourned till 10 a. m. to mor
row.
Too Happy to Live
The Paris journals iell of a
young couple who were too hap
; py to live, at least the accounts
| seem to be colored with that idea.
IM. Bastein was a young architect
I of promise. He had married a
! young lady of beauty and accom
plishments, the daughter of a rich
merchant, M. Channard. The
| couple had been married nine
: months on last New Year’s day,
aud appeared to be sincerely de
j voted to each other. Mine. Bas
tein expected soon to become a
j mother. On New-Year's day the
couple went to dine with M. Chan
j nard, and returned home at mid
night. M. Channard was engaged
! to dine with them next day. In
the morning the lady went out to
I make some purchases, and return
ed at noon. In the afternoon
there were several- rings of their
! doorbell, but no answer was re
! turned. According to appoint
ment M. Channard came and
I rang—no response. He was told
1 that several other persons had
b en equally unsuccessful. A
; locksmith was called and the door
was opened. The young people

Mine. Bastein, clad in her dress
ing gown and her husband in his
trousers and waistcoat. The re
mains of the "breakfast of which
both had evidently partaken were
on the table. A bottle of ammo
nia and one of sedative water were
on the mantelpiece. These were
the only answers to blank inquiry
and searching grief. Nothing
was disarranged in the room, and
there the young man and wife
lay locked in each other's arms,
and death had caught and clutch
ed the last smiles on their faces.
It was a photograph of love and
peace. They were perfectly hap
py, and they locked themselves
in with their happiness and called
death to turn the key. The world
could not rob them now, and they
lay and smiled the smile of victo
ry. A medical man said they
had poisoned themselves, and
gave it as his opinion that the
wife died first. Was there just
a moment of regret at the separa
tion in the husband’s heart? Did
he look in her face and smile when
he thought that he was about to
rejoin her and meet that sweet
lace on the other side?
A Scotch lady had long been
annoyed and fretted by her own
town servants, and being no long
er nble to bear their manifold
tricks and malpractices, she inti
mated to her friends her purpose
of getting an unsophisticated girl

train to her mind; and she was
fortimntd enough in securing a
young woman from a remote cor
ner in the land, and thoroughly
recommended for activity, hones
ty, and good nature. How the
process of training went on may
bo judged from tbe following
specimen: Tbe girl having seen
something very wonderful going
on in the street, in a tone of “un
sophisticated’' familiarly called to
her mistress. “Kh, woman! come
here and see this.” “Woman! I)o

Good wine needs no bush, but how

the newspapers? Is your own

WASHINGTON.
THE DEBATE IN THE SEN
ATE ON PINCHBAG'K’S
ADMISSION.
Effect of the Speech of Sena
tor Whyte.
Much Scowling and Discon
tent.
[Special Correspondence ST. Y. Herald.]
Washington, March 13, 1875.
The admission of Piuchbaek
was, if possible, more earnestly
debated than heretofore. Senator
Thurman leading off in strong
legal argument against it, and
exhausting the full force of all
constitutional objections against
it. Senator Morton continued
persistently, as heretofore, to re
! sist the determined assaults made
upon him, in his position as chair
man of the committee of Privileges
I and elections, and upon his pro
tege, Piuchbaek. Parliamentary
! exchanges occurred between the
: Senators which smacked almost
, of bitter personality, in which
; Senator Morton, with his usual
tenacity, insisted upon having the
last word. The feature of to-day's
discussion was a vigorous and im
passioned phillipic, delivered with
considerable oratorical ability, by
the newly elected Senator Pinck
ney Whyte, of Maryland. He
quoted several decisions of the
Supreme Court and other legal
opinions sustaining the bent of
his argument, lyjd with a visible
effect aud impression upon the
Senate. He said, with crushing
vim, in a rapid review of Louis
iana affairs, that he blushed with
shame as he contemplated the
present attempt to seat Pinchbaek
on the basis of the re-recognition
of the Kellogg government; when
he read in contradistinction to it
the President’s words in his Mes
sage, dated January 15,1875, viz:
—“It has been bitterly and per
sistently alleged that Kellogg was
not elected. The election was a
gigantic fraud.” This is regarded
here as the most positive home
thrust yet made in the debate at
President Grant. When Senator
Whyte reviewed the case of Mr.
Thomas, of Maryland, who was
objected to as Senator on grounds •
of presumed disloyalty, as the '
bloody shirt of treason was una
voidably introduced, there was an
ominous contraction of brows and 1
a look of defensive resentment in
a small coterie of the Southern
Senators composed of Senators (
Cockrell, of Missouri; Withers, of L
Virginia, and a few others seated !;
by them; and the other side of the ! ■
chamber, where the older republi-1,
cans sat, was not lovingly regard- J
t-u. Alter uie ciuse ui iui. n 113'ie s ,
able speech the Senate held a (
short executive session and ad
journed.
PIKCHBACK AND THE DEMOCRACY.
On the democratic side to-day, ]
among the Senators, it is asserted
that Piuchback will fail of admis- j (
sion by seven votes, a fact of which ,
they appear confidently assured ,
by actual canvass. They contin- ,
uc to watch the varying phases of j ‘
the contest with extreme personal j |
concern, if not jealousy; and in ,
conversation not one of them can .
brook with complacency an illu- (
sion to the possibility of his siiCi
cess. *“
Senator Morton, who for a long 1
lime has not manifested so much i
activity und determination in t
lighting his positions, states, to- i
night, with confidence and eijua t
niniity, that Pinchback will lie ad- j s
mitted. The majority sentiment J J
mid opinion on the outside indi- [ \
ate that his case is hopeless and :
that he is now virtually dead to 11
the fortunes of prospeetive Sena-j Ij
torship. Senator Morton will re
ply to the arguments made by Sen “
itors Christiaucy und Pinckney o

Mr. Johuaon, of Tennessee, said

enough said upon it. ami lie did

THE LIST OW PAYMASTERS.
Considerable comment is made
•
as to the list of paymasters sent
in and now before the Senate for
confirmation. Since it has been
recommitted to the Military Coin
mittec the history and record of
some of the nominees have been
made out, and it is said, they do
not show very flatteringly for »<>m.
of the aspirants aud-their friend*
In military circles about the hotel*
to night and among ex-army imu,
now high officials of the govern
inent, a great deal of indignation
is expressed that -some pcr*nu*
among them, of very discredits
ble records, having already been
dismissed from the army for
drunkenness and other cause*,
should have been selected. Th«
confirmation of some will, then
fore, be resisted, and no doul •
their names will lie withdrawn
under the pressure, and otb< is
sent in before Senators, who have
not succeeded in getting tln ir
candidates nominated, can be ap
pcased. A few lobby agents have
been employed by some of the
imperilled to canvass the Senate
for favoring votes; but they un
sure to fail, on account of the tone
of the Senate and the lynx eyed
circumspection of Senator Logan,
who is averse to the appointment
of men of niicstiniinbb- < b ir.u t. i
to positions of high trust ami will
oppose them to the bitter end.

Asked U(h1 to Help Her.
The Danville (Ky.) Advocate
says: “An interesting little daugh
ter of Prof. C., of this city, last
summer, in eating a watermelon,
got one of the seed lodged in her
windpipe. The effort was made
to dislodge it, but proved ineffect
ual, and it was thought that the
child would have to be taken to
one of the large cities to have an
operation performed by a skillful
surgeon. To this she was decid
ly opposed, and pleaded with her
mamma to tell her if there was no
other way of relief. Finally, in
order to quiet her childish fears,
