". - Tbe Arkansas Legislature BlS reVlv- ed a very Important question just at this time. It is as to whether the Sooth - was conquered and secession throttled twenty yean ago. A bill was present* I" '- ed to provide artificial limbs for all ^ soldiers who had lost members during % the war, and in the debate there was |f^K an attempt to explain the attitude of !*;„ the Sooth in that disturbance and her position since. The discussion waa in- tr terestlng, bat the speakers could not agree, and It still remains a question of ^ dispute whether the Johnnies were .; whipped or merely overpowered. ^ Messrs, Copeland and Bridewell, both ? ex-Confederates, were tbe leaders in the debate, and tbe following Is a ver- :<u bltim report: Mr. Copeland--We get licked, we get licked, sir, that's what we got. We lryf'S got well licked. ' ^ Mr. Bridewell--No, we didn't, I say f we were overpowered, bat were not whipped, - Mr.Copeland---Yes we did; we got f , licked, and we've had enough of It. p Mr. Brldewell-We did net get licked Mr. Copeland-If you had gone where jfi'1 I land the Chair went during the war, you would have been licked too. ; Mr. Bridewell--1 was with Joe John* |||,; *ton all through the war. I was with X him when he surrendered, and I say we jjjpv . were not whipped. Mr. Copeland--Well,I was licked, but %X perhaps you never got licked.

Sons years ago one of Mr. LELANT>'8 'AN® laborers braised his leg. Owing to the bad •tale of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling or lamp appeared on the injured limb. HOP- tible itching of tbe skin, with burning and parting pains through the lump, made life almost intolerable. The leg became enor- mously enlarged, and running ulcers formed, discharging great quantities of extremely offensive matter. No treatment was of any avail until the man, by Mr. LELAND'B direc­ tion, was supplied with AYER'S SARSAPA- I EIIXA, which allayed the pain and irTitatlon, bealed the sores, removed the swelling, and completely restored the limb to use.

Tbe self-eon- stituted censors of typography may And food for wholesome reflection in the fact that just about one hundred years ago a number of professors in the Edinburgh University undertook the publication of a book which should be a perfect specimen of typographical accuracy. Every conceivable precau lien was taken to prevent errors of the types. Six experienced proofreaders were employed, who devoted hours to the reading ef each page. After their careful task was completed, each page w»s posted lu the hall of the Univerei ty, with a notification that £60 would be paid to any person who should sue ceed In discovering an error. Every page remained thus publicly exposed for two weeks before being leturned to the printing offloc.
