President Diaz, of Mexico, is
credited with the invention of
an ingenius method of ridding
tlie country of bandits, includ
ing train robbers, which is work
ing like a charm. A desperado
of more than common intelli
gence was captured about two
years ago, and tlie President
interviewed him in prison sev
eral times. ' The bandit tpld
him that want of occupation
was at the root of the whole
trouble. The President said :
"I will test you. You shall be
liberated, and I will, nppoint.
you Chief of Police in your na
tive district. You are to guard
an trains, anct protect- passen-j
zp s iii nit; way sumons. i ou
can appoint your own subordi
nates from your followers. You
. i. 1 X
will be rewarded for maintain
ing good "drder in your district,
and held responsible for all law
less acts by. whomsoever com
mitted." There has not been a robbery
in that district (which was . for
merly a dangerous one for tou
rists to pass through) since that
appointment was made. The
system has been extended, and
now the solitary uniformed po
liceman on the platform of
nearly eveiy small station in
Mexico is an ex-robber. He is
known and respected a-s a su
perior person by the peons and
loafers, who know that lie will
permit no petty thieving. He,
in turn,' knows that he is close
ly watched by a superior offi
cer who is in the employ of the
chief ex-bandit. -
These facts are given upon
the authority of a prominent
Philadelphian who recently re
turned from Mexico, where he
had spent several months in in
vestigating the industrial con
ditions of that country. We
believe that the statement here
made is true ; and it is certain
ly a very curious and interest
ing solution of a serious prob

From 1844 to 1848 Arkansas
was represented in the. United
States Senate by Mr. Chester
Ashley and Mi. Ambrose II.
Sevier. Mr. Chester Ashley, a
New Enjjlander bv birth, always
pronounced tlie ! name of tlie
State phonetically, a ii is
spelled "Ar-kan-saw." Mr.
Sevier, a Tenuesseoan, " the
grand-nephew of Colonel John
Sevier, th'eV hero of King's
Mountain aim the Governor of
the ''State f Franklin," as
Tennessee was then - called, - al

"Ar-kan-saw." At that time
Mr. Dallas was Vice-IVesident
and he made one of the most
courtly presiding officers the
Senate ever had. Mr.- Dallas,
in addressing Mr. Ashley, al
ways said, "the Senator from
Ar-kan-sas," while Mr. Sevier
was always "the Senator from
Ar-kah-saw.
The opinions of the Arkansas
people 'differed on this subject,
as did til o opinions of the Sena
tors. Finally to settle the di -imitation,
the GenerahAssembly
of IS. Si appointed a learned and
able, committee to investigate
the whole subject. This ' com

'Concurrent resolution de
claring the proper pronuncia
tion of the name of the State of
Arkansas :
Whereas, confusion of prac
tice has arisen in the pronunci
ation of the name of our State,
and it is deemed important that
the true 'pronunciation should
be determined for use " in oral
official proceeings ; and.
"Whereas, the .matter has
been thoroughly investigated
by the State Historical Society
of Little Rock, which have
agreed upon the correct pro
nunciatoii as derived from his
tory: and the earlv use of the
American immigrants : be it,
therefore,
"Resolved by both houses of
the General Assembly, That the
only true pronunciation of the
name of the State, in the opin
ion of this body, 'is that, receiv
ed bv the French from the na
tive Indians, and committed to
writings in the French word
representing ; the sound, and
that it should be pronounced in
three syllable, with the final 's'
silent, the 'a' in each syllable,
with the Italian sound, .and tlie
accent on the first and last , syl
lables being the pronunciation
formerly universally and now
still most commonly '-used, and
that the pronunciation with the
accent on the second syllable,
with the sound of 'a'
in 'man
and the sounding of the termi
nal 's' is an innovation to be
discouraged." March, 1881,

u aaa tile leading figures of tlie
hie war between the states Dr.
Andrews, in a public .address
delivered in Chicago on last
Monday, declared that General
Lee was not only the greatest
soldier which the wiir produced,
but that, in many phases of his
genius, he was the greatest sol
dier of modern limes. As Dr.
Andrews served in the union
army, this candid expression of
opinion in regard to the milita
ry skill and prowess of the
south's great soldier cannot fail
to awak'Mrdeep interest in both
sections. Speaking first of the
religious side of (l"iieral dz-e's
character, Dr. Andrew de
clared that he' had the faith of
the crusader, and that .-hi let
ters in themselves constituted a
guide to holiness. lie further
more observed that profane lan-
guage never pa-ed through
General Lee's lips, and that the
habit ofimbibing strong d rink,
so common to soldiers, was
something in which he never
indulged. Proceeding ' from
tiiis point Dr. Andrews said:
I fail to ii ikI in the books any
such masterful generalship as
this hero showed, holding that
slim, gray line, half starved,
with no prospect of additions,
and fighting when his army was
too hungry to stand and the
rifles were only tisefui a clubs.
His courag" was sublime. He
va as great as Gustavo- Adol
plius, or Napoleon, or Welling
ton; or Yon Moltke. Hiscau-e
was not the lot cau-e so much
as is suspected. All that was
good in his cau-e has been
grafted into our laws and our
constitution. The doctrine of

li 'fore closing his tribute to

Andrews declared that the final
overthrow of the confederacy
was not due to the fact that
General Iee was, outgeneraled,
but rather to the fact. that over
whelming numbers on the union
side, coupled with the hardships
and privations which the south
ern army was compelled to suf
fer, made the success of the con
federacy impossible. With the
