EDITORIAL. NOTES.
— Mr. Geo. '.V. Ilill, of Calhoun
j county lias been elected State
! Supt. of Pub. Instruction.
! —The Legislature adjourned
i last Friday and the brains of Ark
ansas are now scattered through
■ out the state.
i’
—At Georgetown, Ky., sixty
i three copies of Beecher’s Christian
Union were taken last year.
1 Now only one copy is takeu.
—The amount of capital inves
i ted in manufacturing enterprises
in Louisville. Ky., is about; $20,
! 000,000; the number of workmen
employed 10,000; the total of wa
| ges paid $8,000,000, and the anu
; al product $55,000,000.
1 —George Adair, Jr., charged
1 with being a leader in the Moun
, tain Meadow massacre of Septem
; ber, 1857, has pecn arrested at
' Beaver, Utah. lie has boasted
“ when drunk of having knocked
• infants’ brains out on wagon
• j wheels at the time.
Cursing.—In Maine, Sunday
1 cursing is taxed two dollars per
n oath; on week days the rate is
| lowered to only one dollar per
- oath. The law is rigid, and the
, proceeds, when collected, are to
go toward founding a lunatic
j asylum.—Ex.
There has long been a statute
«j in this State making it an offense
! for which the line is one dollar
■ for each oath uttered, but we have
- never yet heard of a man being
.t fined under the law. If it wnt
>1 i enforced and the fines collected
,i1 and applied as it is above stated
I they do in Maine, we would soon
l" have a lunatic asylum with an
* | endowment sufficient to support
£ it without any expense to the
K State.

A huge land swindle has been
® I brought to light in Missouri, in
* which prominent citizens of Shan
- j non county are implicated,
i- These crooked real estate men
t! have been forging deeds to land
e in northern Arkansas and south
^ east Missouri for some years, and
had agencies established in Cin
,! j cinnati, l’itsburg, Philadelphia
n j New York and Manchester, Eng
11! land. It is estimated that deedt
“' of over twelve million acres ol
" j land have been forged and dispos
• cd cf, the valuation being $25,000.
tl. j 000 or $30.000,000. The land
’■ operated upon is owned by lion
* residents, and, as the record!
were mostly destroyed during tht
y civil war, the ring had every
- facility to carry out the enormou!
i( swindle, and the deeds have been
i soled all over the United State.1
and in England. The grand jury
“ of Shannon county has indicted
l)r, Thomas K. Harmon, David S,
Bingham and James M. Lawton
[j tor complicity. Lawton seems te
j have been the executive man, and
l_ operated extensively in England
The dupes of these way, many
-'millions of dollars have been
• p eketed.—Gazette.
Journalistic.
—The Dcs Arc Citizen com
plains of a fearful dearth of news.
—The Ft. Smith New Era an
nounces the death of the town re
corder, A. Gilbert Mayers.
—The Little Rock correspond
ent of Rowell’s Newspaper Report
er gives the Weekly Granges
huge puff.
—The Arkansas Sentinel claims
that Fayetteville has the finest
and best Post Offlee accommoda
tions in the state.
•—The Star of Hope has a la
ment over the poor dorg, on ac
count of the passage of the dog
law.
—The editor of the Jackson
port Herald has received a dozen
“yeller legged” chickens on sub
scription and proposes to live high
for a while.
—The Booneville Enterprise
calls the work of our Legislature
“a world of fog and repeal of
Gantt’s Digest.”
—The Van Buren Press wants
that town to be the southern ter
minus of the Fayetteville Rail
road. You are too far West,
neighbor; if the new road deviates
from the shortest route they had
better tap the Ft. Smith road at
this place.
—The Searcy Record, which
has kept up such an unceasing
attack upon the Iron Mountain
Rail Road, takes the defeat of the
Railroad law very calmly. After
all, we imagine the Railroad has
been a great benefit to the state,
and consequently to the Record.
—The Southern Industries.—
' We have received the first num
ber of n paper ofthis name. It is
published simultaneously at Nash
ville, Tenn., Montgomery, Ala.
and Atlanta, Ga., and is intended
to supply information to the im
migrant as to the natural advau
tages of the South. We wish it a
large circulation. Terms only 50
cents pr year.
Right this way, Gentlemen!
Ninety mechanics and artisans
! with their families have emigra
ted from Pennsylvania and settled
on Hood river, Oregon, and over
300 will follow in the spring.
They intend building a college, a
woolen mill, a grist mill, and
educational and industrial estab
lishments.—Ex.
That 300 and over would do
well before going to Oregon, or
any other place, to send an agent
to Arkansas to look at our country.
Beyond all doubt or question, Ar
kansas has now entered upon a
period of improvement, progress
and peace, which with her unsur
passed natural resources, render
her the most desirable field in the
Union for the location of such a
colony as above referred to.
Come right this way, gentlemen,
and look at our country and you
will seek no further. We have all
that you want—every element of
wealth, greatness and prosperity.
Wo vnn fn hnln flovpl.'irt niir

immense resources, ami you need
the rich reward which awaits
honest industry and capital in our
State. Come right along!
American vs. English Manu
facturers.
Many United States iron and
hardware manufacurers are push
ing their products in Australia and
New Zealand to much advantage.
The London Ironmonger says:
“The worst of it is that not a few
of the American goods are declar
ed, as to quality, to surpass our
own;” while a Melbourne agent
of a firm of Birmingham mer
chants writes to his principals
that “American iron goods arc far
superior to English made, and lat
terly they have been much cheap
er. When all sorts of American
made goods now in this market
arc seen and sold, the buyer or
user will never again look at En
glish made articles of the same
class.”
When a gentleman in China
feels desirous of taking unto him
self a wife he sends to the patern
al head of some iamily containing
daughters for specimens ol the
• size of thier feet, with prices at
trehed. One fooj is valued at per
haps $2,000, the next smallest at
5,000, and so on, according to the
market. After the foot, or the la;
dy to whom it belongs, is chosen,
site is sunt in n sedan chair to the
intended husbands esuse. He
meets her at the door, looks into
the vehicle to take a view of the
fair one, and if she suits his taste
he admits her. As soou as she
passes his threshold aho becomes
Itis lawful wile; but if he likes the
lady not, lie shuts the door and
she is carried whence she came.
The largest flouring mill in
America is owned by Hon. C. C.
Washburne, of Minneapolis, Minn.
It is seven stories high, and
crowded with machinery from
top to bottom. Its cost was $300,
1 000, has forty run of burrs and
turns out 1,000 barrels of flour
| per day.
—Senator Ferry, President oi
the Senate, is a single man.
Edwin Jewell has sold the New
Orleans Sunday Delta, to William
Woelper.
Is a machine girl much bettci
than a hand-maid? Yes; sew
much.
The third term project is not al
all benefited by those whisky
ring revelations.
We see from the papers, that i
gentleman by the name of Gui
bord, of Canada, is dead.
If women “stoop to conqner,’
we would like to see some dowi
here perform that feat, withoui
making an ugly slit in about sev
enteen yards of calico.
The maddest man in Wisconsin
is said to be a fellow who was de
feated for the legislature, by Just
one vote. Y'ou see tie was a con
setentious man and voted for kit
opponent.
While Butler was in St. Louis
it is said he was treated just iu
well as any one else, and that tin
unlooked-for compliment actual!.!
brought tears to botti the ok
man’s eyes at once, a concert o
action never before recorded.
