EATING CROW.
After all the blowing for free trade
and foolish threats against Samuel J.
Kandull and democrats of that school
Henry Wdterson telegraphs the country
that lie is delighted with the action of
the Ohio democracy, both as to their
platform and candidates. Everybody
knows Henry Wattertou is not pleased
or satisfied with the action of the
Ohio democracy, and that when he
parades himself before the democracy
of the country, as delighted "with the
action of his party iu doing exactly
that which he has, as the editor of The
Couriei Journal denounced, everyone
kujws hi: is making a prodigious ass
of himself, aud acting the part of a
dishonest journalist; in contrast with
ilr. Patterson's pompous ap
proval of the ' action of
the Ohio democracy . We quote the
following Irjtu tho Chicago Times, a
democratic iVue trade iournal of ac
knowledged influence in the democratic
party. Ave commend it to the Nebraska
democracy, aud suggest that it sounds
a little like an though it had emanated
from the gall steeped quill of our ami
able friend of Arbor Springs notoriety.
who aided and abetted in foreshadowing
an independent party at the Detroit
free for all meeting:
The party platform formally sent
forth from the assembly of political
rowdies at Columbus betrays a lack in
that assembly ot the originating faculty.
The tariff plank was borrowed from a
cartoon, which appeared opportunely
just before the gathering of tha (Jolum-
bus mob, in a New l orJcnicture paper 1
called l'uck. The cartoon represents
the interior of a blacksmith shop. A
large number of notable political black
smiths are engaged in shoeing a vicious
looking mule, which is suspended ty a
trap around the belly from (he ceiling.
The muli is easily recognized as the
party which has no pride of ancestry
and no hope of posterity that is, the
democratic party. Blacksmith Randall
is spiking on one of she fere feet a pro
tection shoe, while Blacksmith Hewitt,
nails a free trade shoe ou the other. To
one hind ioct Blacksmith Butler is fit-
tTTng an "incidental tariff' shoe, and to
the other isiackBauth iiayard is about
to fasten an "elastic- policy" shoe.
The tariff plank of the mule party in
Ohio comprises these four different
shoes. "We favor a tariff foj revenue
limited to the necessaries of the govern
ment." If these words mean anything,
their meaning is tarifl for revenue on
ly" that is, the free trade shoe. But
to these words are added ; "And so
aujustcd as to encourage productive
industries at . home. If these words
incau anything, their ' meaning is
tariff for protection; the protection shoe
whicld Blacksmith Randall is spiking to
one of the mule's front feet. But, while
the tarifl adjustment is to encourage
home industries, it is at the same time
"no-tr create or foster monopolies;"
that is, It is to be adjusted to prevent
the encouragement which it is to be ad
justed to give. This must be the "elastic
policy" shoe which Blacksmith Bayard
is attaching to the mule's off hind leg.
Furthermore, the tariff which is to be
limited to the necessilk'3 ot government
but to give plenty of protection to the
subsidy-begging monopolists, and be so
adjusted as not to encourage monopo
lies, is also to "afford just compensation
to labor'Vem ployed by the monopolists
it is to encourage. This clause four
can mean nothing else than the "inci
dental tariff, shoe, whatever that may
le, which Blacksmith Butler is fitting
to the mule's other rear kicking appli
ance. The party is thus put on all fours, or
mounted on four diffcreut taiiff legs,
each carrying the animal in a direction
opposite to that whither any other leg
carries it. Xo wonder the political
mule bears a sad and discouraged ex
pression on its countenance.
CANNIBALISM IN THE CAUCASUS
" The Terskiia Vedomosti reports a
case which shows that superstition at
tributing magical power to the eating
ot human flesh is not confined to the
Australian aborigines. In the grave
yard of the village ot Naurusow, in the
Nattshik district, the police noticed
that the grave of a reeently buried child
was much disturbed. Suspicion fell on
a man reputed to be a sorcerer. His
hut was searched, and he was found
sitting at a hre, on which a pot was
simmering. He tefused to answer any
. i
questions; out on me aujoming room
body of the missing child was found
hanging from a hook, and in the corner
of the room were the skulls of Beveral
children. The wietch, upon being in
terrogated, as to where the remaining
portion of the child's body pointed si
lently to the pot. His daughter, r. mis
erable starved girl, admitted ou exami
nation that the father used regularly to
steal the bodies of little children, cook
and eat the flesh, and from the fats
make ointments and mediclue which
gave as charms. He had threatened to
kill and eat her if she gave information
of hia doings. .

irreat impropriety of letting the Nio
brara-Dead wood star route to Messrs

vestigation, laid the matter over, seems
to have had some effect at headquar

of surplui indignation the Senator's ac

It is very pleasant news to the Her
ALD and the many Plattsmouth friends
of Superintendent Holdrece, of the B,
& M. to read the announcement iu the
despatches, of the advancement of Mr.
Holdrege to be Assistant Manager of
all the B. & M. lines of road west of
the Missouri river.
For years Mr. Holdrege has been
identified with Nebraska and her in
terests, and no railroad man is better
known throughout our State than he.
The announcement that Mr. Hoi
drege is to step up higher in the B. &
M. Management is especially gratify
ing to his friends inasmuch as it means
that in the mutations of the C. B. &
Q. economy Mr. Holdrege is to remain
with us and of us.
The efforts of the Brazilian
ment to attract immigrants to Brazil
have not been well rewarded. It
spends upwards of $200,000 a year in
this way, but while 1,100,000 people,
came to the United States in 18S0-S1,
only 40,73 entered the Empire of Don
Pedro, and the most ot these came
from Italy and Portugal. Two rea
sons are given for this result. One is
the fact that a large proportion of
Brazil's vast iterritory is practically in
accessible, and the other that while the
immigrant is fed and lodged at the
goverment boarding house at Rio
Jauerio after he lands, while he is
given free transportation to the gov
ernment lands and a few seeds and tools
and is for six months allowed 20 cents
a day for each adult in his family, and
10 cents for each child, he nevertheless
gets very little land, and, besides being
remote and very olten impracticable
to develop, the land Is high priced; for
he is allowed only eight acres, for
which he must either pay dowu 816 an
acre or else $16.20 an acre in Install
ments, covering six years.
WITCHCRAFT IN PRUSSIA
The Berlin Vossische Zeitung reports
a case ot popular superstition wnicn
would be almost incredible wer it not
con Aimed by judicial invcsti"t4 m. In
the village oi fechonbeck, in the prov
ince of West Prussia, the little daughter
of a cabinet maker has been bedridden
for four vears. The father became per
suaded that hi3 daughter was bewitch
ed by a woman who had occasionally
given her apples and pears. lie was
advised that the patient would be cured
if she drank some of the blood of the
supposed witch. The poor- woman
was entrapped into visiting a place
where some of fie chief men cf the
commune were assembled to receive
her. She was seized; one of her finders
pricked with a needle, and the blood
given to the sick child. The supersti
tious or malignant participators in this
outrage were summoned before a police
magistrate, who conreuteu inmseit wiin
sentencing them to imprisonment for
three days.
A DREAM DISCLOSES MONEY.
A correspondent of the Tcrre Haute
Express tells of a queer dream of Mrs.
T., living in Middlebury, Clay county,
who engaged some carpet rags of Mrs.
S. of the same village. She was sup
posed to have some money, but none
could be found after her death. A
short time after the death of Mrs. S.,
the rags were delivered to Mrs. T. She
dreamed that there was a red ball of
rags among the number containing a
pocket-book with a certain amount of
money in it. She told Mr. T. her dream
and he laughed and said it was nothing
but a dream. But it rested on her
mind to that extent that she went with
Borne other ladiC3 to the attic, where
the lags were, in search of the above
describe 2 ball. It wrs found the pro
cess of unwinding commenced, and t
their surprise, they found the book, and
the exact amount of money was touna
that she dreamed it contained.
A PUZZLED JUROR.
Gen. II. Judson tells a good story.
It was of a case in the United States
district court at Albany many years
ago. A patent right suit was np before
Judge Nelson. William II Seward was
counsel on one side. In summing up
he occupied a whole day. Peter Cagger
came in while he was talking, and- after
listening an hour turned to a learned
lawyer and inquired: "What the devil
is Seward talking aboutr ihe coun
sel on the other side made a long speech
and the judge charged. After the jury
had been out about two hours they
came into the court, and the foreman
said: "Your honor, the jury would
like to ask a question. Judge You
ean proceed. Foreman Well, your
honor we would like to know what this
suit is about. Ogdensburgh, (N. Y.)

WHEN AND WHOM TO MARRY.
From a sermon by Rev. Dr. Mclven
dreoof the Bedford street Methodist
church, New York city: "The lady
should, in my opinion, be 20 or 'SJ, and
the gentleman five years Iter senior,
Poor men cannot marry extravagant
girls, who expect as good a home as
their parents were only able to acquire
after manv years' toil. The deceit
practiced ou both sides is very great.
The ugly suitor get3 a tailor to hide
his di-ficienccs; the unsightly maiden
calls in the aid of her rouge pot and
milliner. Until recently, marriage
brokerage was carried on Fiance. We
Americans are guilty of t'ie same
thing in another way. Mothers sell
daughters to the highest bidders and
daughters sell themselves for gold to
men old enough to be their grand
tamers, bucn women would no
no more choose honest mechanics for
husbands than they would convicts
from the penitentiary. There is no
reason why women should not
choose is well as men. At
present the men have all the advantage.
A o girl is fit to be a wife till she can,
if necessary, cook a meal, make a drers
and keep a house in order. Accom
plishments are good, but a third hus
band would much prefer a good square
meal. All matches that are brought
about by selfish motives are unholy,
and women who marry for position or
wealth, are jusi as guilty as those who
sell their virtue for a given price. They
arc, in tact. leading a lite of legalized
prostitution. Marriages in which
there is no adaptation are unlawful.
As oil and water will not unite with
out alkaline, so manv a counlo are
united by means of gold. Such artific
ially-made matches are often broken.
1 ou may force alcohol and gum-cam
phor to blend, but at the presence of
water the alcohol elopes and leaves the
camphor a grass widow. In like man
uer a third party also steps in between
a badly-assorted pair, with what result
can be easily seen. None but those
who have ben united 'through pure
motives and deep, abiding love, nave
fulfilled the codditions under which a
man and a woman may become hus
band and wife."
Lord Chief Justice Coleridge has in
sured himself a warmer welcome upon
the occasion of his approaching visit
to the United States than would have
been accorded him even in view t his
high standing as an exponent of the
aw. In the course of the dynamite
conspiracy trial in London, Thursday,
counsel for one of the accused said
tb"t " it was a matter of common
vledge that plots existed in Amer
ica ior the manufacture of dynamite
for use against England almost with
the connivance of the American gov
ernment." The Lord Chief Justice re
buking the counsellor, said it was
only due to our friendly relations
with the American government, that
you withdraw your statement." The
obiectiouable remarks were with
drawn.
The investigation of Supervising Ar
chitect Hill is beginning to develop
some interesting tacts concerning the
letting ot uovernmer.t Contracts.
From the testimony thus far adduced,
it appears to have been an extremely
cold day when Hill got left. The com
mittee, however, should not fail to in
vestigate Hills operations 111 connec
tion with Chicago' postofHce and cus-
tem-house building. An inquiry in
this direction once revealed a large
amount of richness, though nothing
came ot 11, mil oeim; backed by the
idminutration.
The Emperor William o Germany
has a tender heart and humane con
victions. He has always been opposed
to the practice of capital punishment,
and does not scruple to save offenders
from the ax when appealed to. Of 218
ersons condemned to decapi'ation be
tween the years of 1864 and 18G8 only
twenty-six were executed. Between
1868 and 188 42a persons were simi
larly condemned, but none of the num
ber was beheaded. Since 18S1 there
have been three executions.
The Mexican Central Railroad-does
not traverse nearly na desolate a region

aggregate population of 896,039, and
nine of them are State capitals. It

als to the value of not less 835,000.000'
and the agricultural value of the 12
Sbates traversed is quite $i 10,000,000.
General Siiekman gives White
aw Reul a good reputation as a long
distance runner. He says that at the
battle of Shiloh he started for the rear
and never stopped running until he
got to Cincinnati. IfReid's long legs
have not grown rusty from lack ot
practice, he could probably give Rowell
aud other professional runners .- a very
lively race.
The Mobile Register is in favor of a
