Aii Unexpected Note ol'Prog
ress.
It was only last year that the
unhappy political condition of
Arkansas enlisted the sympathies
of right minded people all over
the country, and gave occasion to
most serious apprehension that
the state would lie plunged into
i lie horrors of a general civil war.
To day Arkansas stands among
the foremost of the States which
lia.'c set in motion their recuper
ative energy, and have lifted
themselves out of the slough of
despond by their own effort. The
people of Arkansas have not a
i little reason to take credit to
themselves for what they have
accomplished in the face of so
many adverse circumstances, and
the determination which they
still manifest shows that they are
resolved to follow out the career
which their judgment dictated
when the clouds were darkest
about them.
I A recently published address
delivered by Governor Garland
” u‘ tlio I? (JUitr urrOhuntT A^ri
cultural and Mechanical Associa
tion makes a showing of the prog
ress of the State, and a present
prosperous condition which would
i>o creditable to the most liighly
i* favored State in the Union, and
coining from a State which only
ten years ago passed through the
vicissitudes of the great civil war,
. which for years after the war suf
fered immeasurably, not only from
a sudden revolution in its labor
system and means for producing
the crop to which its whole people
were accustomed and which was
its main reliance, but was com
pletely prostrated oy political
disturbances and domestic civil
commotion, is an episode in the
history of that people which lias
few parallels in the experience of
the world. The endeavor which
caused such a change of condi
tion must nave been tnc result ol
earnest reflection, anil the reflec
tion which led to such endeavor
taught the people of Arkansas two
facts which they had been some
what inclined to ignore, viz.: that
political agitation is not remuner
i ative, and that because one field
of industry can not, under a
changed state of affairs, lie profit
ably cultivated, other fields are
not open to industry.
While Arkansas is not neglect
ing her cotton, she lias found that
there arc other staples that prom
ise reward to her husbandmen.
This new range of agricultural
i industry lias produced a demand
for a wider area of tillable lands,
and Governor Garland points with
unaffected pride to the fact that
every county in the Slate has in
the past year added largely to its
cultivated lands, while some half
dozen which lie mentions have
added as much as live thousand
acres each, while one has added
over eleven thousand acres. He
tells us that small grain, hereto
fore almost neglected, has been
sown, and the results have been
a surprise to every one; that large
vineyards, a business heretofore
scarcely known in She State, have
been and are being opened and
cultivated, with every prospect of
handsome remtiucratipu in a short
time, and that last summer fruits,
vegetables and grain were sent to
St. Louis, Chicago and other
points—a thing never done before
—with most satisfactory returns
for them. One lawyer in Little
Hock, the governor tells us, sent
seventeen car-loads of watermel
oils to ( hicugo, and confessed that
his outlay and labor brought
a better return than his cotton
and law together.
Behind all this lies a theory.
It is the interdependence of what
the political economists call trails
mutation, transformation and
transportation, and which Bacon
long since indicated in more pop
ular language when he said:
“Those tilings which make a Jiu
J, I
IB
tion great anil prosperous are a
fertile soil, busy work-shops, anil
easv conveyance of men and
tilings from place to place.” Gov
ernor Garland presents the same
idea when he argues that there is
no real antagonism between the
interests of manufacture and agri
culture and systems of transporta
tion, and declares that the aggre
gate prosperity of manufactures
and the aggregate prosperity of
agriculture arc intimately con
nected, and the new constitution
of Arkansas recognized the same
unity of interest in providing for
a single bureau to take in charge
the several and united interests
of mining, manufacture and ag
riculture. From being an object
of commiseration Arkansas lias
suddenly become an exemplar of
industry and progress even to
some of the elder States. She
has simply turned her face to the
front, and Governor-Garland ex
pressed the sentiment which has
given her this new and unlooked
for impulse when lie declared in
his address: “My friends, we can
not stand still, nor caiv we go
backward. We must press for
ward and onward. It is a dav ol
advancement and improvement;
change is written upon every
thing; and old things and old ideas
are passing away and giving place
to new owes.” —N. O. Picayune.
Arkansas lteilivivns.
From the New York Sun.]
The extraordinary recuperative
power which has been exhibited
by the people of Arkansas, since
their release from the grasp ol
Grant’s plunderers, is a wondei
even to themselves. Less than s
year ago they were in acouditior
i bordering on despair, mieina
dissensions, amounting almost t<
civil war, prevailed in all parts ol
the state; the most intent hostility
existed between the white am
African race, and the president
had insolently threaten to use the
United States army to overthrow
their legal government and tin
new eonsituation which the,pcoph
had adopted by an overwhelming
majority. Trade and industries
of all kinds wore puralized, and s
feeling of intense depression pe-i
vailed every class ol the commu
nity. Bnt the last congress, tin
scrupulous as it was, lulled ti
sanction tins revolutionary
scheme of Grant's, and Arkansas
was permitted to retain the exer
I eise of self government. As w<
' have said, the result have beoi:
- amazing. The legisloture, acting
I under the judicious advice of Gov
| Garland and other conservative
I leaders, took measure to repaii
the ravages of the carpet-baggers
which have elicited commend
ation faom even there enemies
while the people, released wen
work with n will Xo mend theii
shattered fortunds: and ta ay Ar
kansas is amonge the most pros
I porous of the reconstructed states
■ In an cdilress recently deliveroc
before the WoodrufT county Agri
cultural association, Gov. Garlam
shows that every county in tin
state has in the past year adder
largely to its cultivated lands, sev
oral of them as much as 500(
acres each, and one of then
11,000. Small grain, heretofori
almost entierly neglected, has
been extentsively sown. Largi
vinyards have been planted, aiu
last summer great quantities o
fruits and vegetables werh seni
| to St. Louis, Chicago and otliei
points—a thing never done be
! fore—with most satisfactory
returns for them. We learn from
other authentic sources that the
most hopeful feeling now brevaih
among all classes throughout tin
state, and that with the discorn
liture of the carpet baggers al
trouble between the races ceased
Indeed, the cordial relations nov
existing botween the whites anc
the blacks arc perhaps greatei
cause for astonishment than al
the rest.

Reading Families.
Books and newspapers encour
age—almost create—a thirst for
knowledge in children. It is far
easier to give a child a practical
educatitn with six months' school
ing per year, with plenty of read
ing matter at home, thau it is with
. ten months’ schooling and no
books and newspapers in your
bouse. This is no fancy, hut a
• positive fact; and yet how many
parents there are who will spare
no reasonable expense in sending
their children to school, but if
asked to subscribe for a news
paper, will answer “I cannot
atford it!” How stupid and in
consistent. The truth is, they
cannot alford to do Without it.
Children who are fond of read
ing very seldom seek other
amusements away from home.
Who would not prefer that his
boy should sit reading by tho (ire
at home than roaming rbout
where lie is almost sure to fall
into bad company and acqnire
pernicious habits?
Take a good assortment of
papers, anil let every one in the
house have free access to them.
, Don’t he particular about their
lying scattered about. When
you have a few spare moments
. you are almost sure to be reading
one if in reach. Above all
things, let them “muss” over,
bat)} and all, for children who
are brought up among books and
newspapers rarely injure one.
lint woe be unto either that hap
pens to fall into the hands of a
i family wheie they are a rarity!
You might as well drop gun
powder upon a red hot stove and
expect to pick it up, as to look
for that book or paper again.
Never make a practice of bor
rowing papers, it lias been
truly said that “a newspaper is
like a wife, because every man
should have one of his own.”
l’ay for your paper and it will
read easier, and be a great deal
more entertaining and instruct-;J
ive.—At all events, do not ask to
borrow mine.
There is always great pleasure
in sending a book to a reading
person, but it is very distasteful
to have one fall into the bauds of
those “Ishraaelites” who read
about one book in two years.
Newspapers, in particular, were
not printed 16 lend. They are
too perishable and frail. I
A man who pays $2 per year for
a paper, and cannot get that
amount Of benefit from it, “is
either a mighty poor reader, or
else is reading a mighty poor
paper”—N. Hitter, in Country
Gentleman.
A day or so ago the daughter
of a German grocer in Rochester, .
N. Y., was married. Her father,
with pride and a spice of humor, ;
placed a placard in the window,
bearing this device: “This store ,
is closed on account of some fun ■
in the family.”
“I want you all to understand '
that there is to be no levity on
the. stage to-night,” said the man-,
arfer of a cjfty theatre to the super- '•
nurnernries as the curtain was
rung up. “What’s a levity, BillV”
asked one supernumerary of an
other. “Oh,” said the other, “I
don’t know. Suppose it's a cross
’tween a farce and a comedy!”
