Thk withdrawal of Son. W. W. Lang
from the race for Governor leaves Rob-
erts anllV&fni ftlope ia the field. The
county conventions have practically set-
tled the question in favor of Roberts, but
8ayen^wp9 not to have, giveu up the
light -Jjtfian at least be said of him that
he goes down with his colors nailed to
the mast. To do him justice he has made
a spirited and strong fight, and has shown
himself a man of aggression and inde-
pendent spirit and very considerable
ability. But he lacks discretion. He
threw himself before an avelanche in the
vain effort to stop its course. It may be
that he will never recover from the crash-
ing he has received But he is yonng and
vigorous.apd we hope he will. Though
we have fiivore^ Roberts in this race, we
have not fallen but with everybody wlio
differs with us about tbe wisdom of his
adminutrition. We were very sorry to
aee tbe'oeurse taken by both' Mr. Lang
and Mr. Sayers. It may be that in tbe fa-
turetbev willjgeton the right side of
something, and if they do we shall not
hesitate to snpjiort either of them because

A rare specimen is the Greenback nom-
inee for President He presented himself
upon tbe Congressional arena, with a
grand bid for popularity, which no body
oi men-gifted with common sense wonld
think of sustaining, bnt which he doubt-
less thought would largely recruit the
party. Now, as a candidate for President
he talks about carrying Arkansas and
Texds, Mississippi and Alabama. It is
charitable to conclude that he is relying
upon information received from parties as
wild as himself. But we all know that
the patriots of the colored paper party
have not the slightest imaginable chance
for a vote of respectable dimensions in
either State. There is only one State in
thcUuion which they have the slightest
chance to carry, by the fusion with the
Democratic party. This we hope, may be
carried by the conjoint organization, bnt
we fetf hot There is no other State in
- the jfrriion except Maine, in which they
can ;ral!y.a force worth notice as a politi-
cal power. T.heir strength compared with
their pretensions is about equivalent .to
that of "the Salvation Army" which late-
ly precipitated itself upon the wicked cit-
ies-ot tbe North, and attacking tbe well
known dens of infamy expects to convert
thfe'tfenrorseless sinners whose lives are a
p&petual' blasphemy, into regenerated
saifitk-' 'The Salvation Army and tbe
orecnback party, is sustained by an un-
wavering confidence which never meas-
ures, (proposed results, by comparative
means. But the November elections will
dissipate some daydreams, and General
Wbaveb will be found at the head of a
very small force, of which the gentlemeu
playing the wind instruments and clasp,
ing the cymbals will compose a large part
of the effective force.

At last accounts Dr. Tanner was on the
thirty-eighth day of his fast, and was in
g^pd condition. His time will be up to-
morrow (Saturday) and there is little
doubt that be will succeed in his self-im-
posed task of fasting forty days. Many
physicians however, contend that his
stomach is in such condition that he will
not be able to digest and assimi-
late • food and that he will
die of that canse. Rut all tbe physicians
said be wonld die in fifteen days when he
Commenced to fast, but tbe old iron man
said be woald'nt, and he did'nt, and we
believe him now when he says that his
stomach is all right, and that he will get
over it in a short time.

Soxjthsbk Hotel, 1
Eubeka Springs, July 28tb, 1880. j
Dear Standard : '
A few days have passed without mach
incident of interest, except onr Red River
ciicle. Geo. C. Baker arrived on Sunday,
accompanied by Col. Merri wether of Kates-
ville, Ark., and this morning, Prof. Cor-
bett, summoned by a dispatch, left for
home. It was a pity that the necessity
for his departure existed. He was just
beginning to feel the beneficial effects of
the water greatly. Len McCarley and
Leroy Smith, came in on Fnday last.
Geo. Baker is already improving. Have
not seen Smithand McCarley within the
lust 24 hours. There has been One case
enred here thatl have not heretofore men-
tioned—a case of lunacy. Capt Carroll,
a prominent business man here, came here
in September last, and put up first a small
house in which to confine bis crazy son, a
'ooy of 19 years. About the first of Feb-
ruary, the boy who had proved harmless,
and been walking about as he pleased ,
came to his father one-morning for money
to buy something that he specially want-
ed for breakfast, received tbe money and
made the purchase, and after breakfast
told bis father that he had been paying
oit money on him long enough, and that
he wauted to go to work. The father,great-
ly elated by bis iu proved manner, tried
to dissuade bim, telling him he had been
sick a long time, but the boy insisted,and
has been soberly making himself useful
ever since. His lunacy has been the re-
sult of tsickuess. On Sunday evening,
Geo. Baker and myself went over beyond
Hardiu Springs, and, called On old man
Sanford, whose bail case of Rheumatism,
I have heretofore noted. We listeued to
tbe old mad tor an hoar, while be recount-
ed all that be bad gone through during
a period ot near thirteen years, dating
from tbe time be liad become helpless.
Tbe old man had read and reflected a
good deal, and indicated an iutelligeiice
above the average, He told us how in-
tensely he had suffered, and all the cures
he bad tried, and how the dislocation of
his joints bad at last come on with intense
suffering, of which he had never lost con
sciousn< a-}, night nor day, and tbe strug-
gle for life was about to conclude, when
he came down here, as a last hope, but
with very little confidence. The old man
was perfectly grateful; said he somtiuies
wondered, if it was not all a dream, and
if it were really possible that he, who but
a few months ago, could not move his
arms, that he now found himself able to
go to the spring and bring two full buck-
ets of water at a time.
We were to have had a speech from
Seuator Garland last week, but although
in town he did not condescend to address
the people. I think he has got on the
wrong side of the bond question, and is
about to wind up his popularity.
We have had here a very intelligent and
agreeable set of visitors from mempbis
and vicinity, including Col. Sam Tate, now
of Little Rock, bnt formerly President
of tbe Memphis & Charleston Railroad.
Among these has been Mr. Cochran, tbe
proprietor of a large Cotton Seed Oil mill
at Memphis, and part proprietor of a large
mill at Little Rock, turning out 100 bar-
rels per day. Availing myself of the op-
portunity to get reliable information, I in-
vestigated the cotton seed oil mill ques-
tion. I recommended uot long since that
two oil mills should be erected in Red River
county, supposing that they could be star-
ted on a moderate scale, and subsequent-
ly enlarge. I now learn, that a small
mill will not pay a profit Mr. Cochran
weut into the business in 1869 with a mill
of moderate power, and lost money for
three years, as he said every body else has,
who have tried it on a small scale. He
says a mill shonld not be established
on a smaller basis than $75,000 or $65,-
000 iu machinery, allowing $10,000 for the
buildiug. His Memphis mill cost this,aud
turns out 50 barrels a day. Tbe Jjittle
Bock mill bits cost $150,000, and makes
100 barrels a day. To th is. they are about
to add a refinery, which will cost $10,000.
A ton of seed will run about 25 barrels of
oil. A gentleman from Little Rock, who
lives well at home, tells me that he uses
the refined oil in bis family in place of
lard^nd likes it much better tban lard for
making up biscuit, frying meat and gen-
eral culinary uses, and that it is cheaper
than lard, though I imagine that the com-
parative cheapness is no part of the con-
sideration with him* He says that he
Rends to the refinery, and gets a gallon at
a time as he needs it. This gallon costs
40 cents, and weighs 7} pounds. In bis-
cuit be says that you cannot distinguish
any difference tatween it and butter, and
that for all household uses it is bette? than
lard and cleaner. Mr. Cochin jtejjs me
that nothing can possibly be nicer and
purer. It is largely put up and soid for
genuine Olive oil, and is not distinguish-
ble from it, except by au expert It is
largely mixed with lard, being cheaper,
and the adulteration cannot be discover
ed. It is also mixed witfr a}) pppe costly
lubricating oils. It burns without saiel},
aud with little smoke. Iu addition to the
cost of maebioery? capital is necessary to
invest iu Seed as fast as it comes iu for
sale, as, at best seed canuot be procured
in most localities to run more than eight
mouths in tbe year. For a large mill $50,-

dear Standard :—It is a day of con.
tinned rain, and all tbe surroundings look
sombre but not a rill comes down the
mountain sides. The gravel beds absorb
the water as it falls. Since my last our
Texas circle has been re-inforced by the
arrival Of Joe Stiles, who arrived day be
fore yesterday. Leroy Smith says his
eyes ar6 improving, but I fear that he will
not remain long enough to effect a cure
There is some tever here of a low type but
is generally cured in three or tour days.:
People still come, as others go. ~ Weget
weekly re-intorcements from Memphis,
and occasionally from Missouri, Illinois
aud Kansas. Geo. Baker aud I took a
tramp up the mountain day before yes-
terday, and saw new views. Before get-
ting out of the valley we came upon a
shingle manufactory, which cuts out of
steamed pine. Getting upon the mount-
ain top, we discovered a suburban village
in which were a store, a barber shop, a
billiard saloon, and a hotel of good size,
nearly completed. Here, tor the first, we
discovered level load, and a narrow pla-
teau affording pleasant .building places,
and overlooking a wide valley covered
with pine and white oak. Up here too,
was a lumber yard, well filled. Taking a
semicircular route we traversed a mile, of
passably level surface, treading around
northward, and coming at last, by the
monntain bouse to the steps leading down
to the-spring below this house. Came fre-
quently upon small bouses, and upon a
high point midway, a new Catholic church
with its apex surmounted by a large
wooden cross. The size was perhaps 30x40.
The front was weatherboarded, aud tbe
building would soon be finished. Further
around, and upon a lot; laid off upon Ar-
kansas school land, adjoining the town
site, we found a- three story hotel, just fin.
isbing. All these people build their hous-
es of seven and eight feet elevation to the
story, except a few ot the largest, which
have the first story of ten feet, those
above lower. Tbe high surroundings of
the town proper are much pleasanter than
the valley, and I learned that at 250 feet
frOm a point on the monntaiu top, where
we stopped to question a resident. A
good spring has been found lately, with
qualities precisely similar to the main
Eureka. They call it the new Eureka.
They have two springs about here which,
they call oil springs. No oil is percepti-
ble, but globules stand around the cup
when water is lifted, and remain a minute
or two when the water is poured out.
Nearly all the water is very soft, and silky
in its feeling when leaving the hands.
Stores are being erected, but I do hot be-
lieve that the commercial business will
ever amount to much. The principal
manufactures are cane making, mattress
making, and the manufacture of spiral
springs for beds, and bash for visitors.
We get a plenty , to eat here, .including
mutton, beef, chickens, a variety of vege-
tables, and plenty ot apples and peaches.
Watermelons are scarce and dear, and
poor. Apples are sold from the wagons
at 25 cents a bushel. Yours,

Grant's New Occupation.
Boston, July 24.^-Gea. Grant is in a
fair way to become a bonanza king. Min-
ing schemes have proved a greater at-
traction thau isthmus cauals, aud at last
be has been captured. At a meeting in
this city to-day Gen. Grant was elected
president of the San Pedro and Canon de
L'Agus compauy, which Owns 40,000
acres of land in New Mexico, including
copper and gold miues. A number ot
prominent capitalists, maiuly from Boston
and New York, are interested in the com-
pany. The president is George William
Ballon, a New York banker. Gen. Grant
since his return, has takeu a very great
interest in silver mines. He is at Lead-
ville now, lookiug around, aud will next
go to the Gunnison country. Of course
the principal object in offering the presi-
dency to the geueral is to bull the stock
and give the company a grand boost into
notoriety. It is said here that the salary
offered is $25,000, and that Gen. Grant
will uot be expected to do any very great
auiouut of work; in fact, that the present
president will keep a general run ot things
and practically remaiu president. The
property is a part of the Cation del Agua
Mexican graut. From 1*40 until the
American occupation the claim was work-
ed by the Mexicans. The American com-
pany have found some very rich placers.
Some Urge nuggets have been taken out,
and Grant, who receutly weut .to New
Me? 1 :oto take a look at the place,is credit-
ed with expressing the belief that there is
a goo-i deal of money there if worked the
right way. The great drawback is a
scarcity of water. It this can be obtain-
ed it is said the placers can be worked

As reference has been made to the case
of Ben ben Kelsey of Fairfield, Harkimer
county, N. Y., ot him I wish to speak as
one familiar, at the time, with th- whole
circumstance. Obedience to God was his
motive. Rewience for diviue authority
wits his leadiug characteristic nearly back
to childhood. In early youth he profess- j
ed religion and united with the Preshyt«<-;
riau church, and in all subsequent life j
walked worthy of its vocation. I oitenl
held secret converse with him and walked!
to the :iousc of God in his company. He
had nit desire for notoriety, but was mod-'
est and reserved in all his bearings, and \
the idea of setting ..side the law of organ- j
ic or animal life to him would have been j
revolting. Jfou may call it infatuation it1
you please,but he became immovably con-
vinced of liis duty to last or to refraiu for
a time from taking food. When remon-
strated with and told his act would be mi-
icidal, his reply wouid lie that he under-
stood it all, and that, when lie had done
bis duty he should eat, and not before. He
began fastiug without giving notice of
his desigu to his father or mother or sis-
ters, to their great consternation. Reason-
ing was of no avail. Medical men, minis-
ters or rel'gious friends could not turn
him trom bis purpose. Tbe family tried
to tempt him with all the delicacies of
which he had been fond but to no effect.

compel him to take nourishment, but it
did not succeed. He then left the house

is with the banking-house of President
Ballou, at No. 8 Wall street. Mr. Ballou
is in this city at preseut, attending to the
affairs of the company! The company,
which is capitalized for $10,000,000 in
shares of the par value of $25 each, owns
40,000 acres ot land iu New Mexico. This
immense tract includes Valuable copper

Gen. Grant is expected to arrive in New

that city and in Boston. The stock of
the company is dealt in at Boston, where
it sold on Friday at $2 per share; sales
were made to day at $3 75 per share, the
advance ostensibly being due to the fact
that Gen. Grant hsis been secured for
