PERSONAL, POLITICAL AND PERTINENT.
A. member of the Ball family, of
rjhicb deorge Washington was a de-V-endant,
on his mother's side, resides
in Washington City, and is an inter
esting character. He is now nearly
seventy years of ace. and resembles
Washington so much that when photo
graphed, with a Continental uniform
oil, the difference cannot be detected.
"The old man has a stand in the great
.'area of the pension bailding and sells
knlck-nacks and cigars to visitors, in
cluding photographsof himself,dressed
as Washington is shown in some of
the great paintings. He relates, with
great satisfaction, that Washington
got his form and features from his
mother's side of t lie family. This ap

SOME INTERESTING HISTORY.
Frl 1. LehnbolT Kelatett Some Incidents
of tli Early Life ol Captain Kulil.
"The Journal, made a slight mis
take Saturday," said F. D. Lehnhoff
to a Jouknal reporter last Monday,
"in speaking of Capt. Kuhl. It spoke
of his having been a steamboat cap
tain. He was never a steamboat cap
tain any more than 1 was. The fact
is, be got that title by having been a
capta:n in the army during the war
of the rebellion, having raised a com
pany which he took into the second
Nebraska, and was in the western
part of the state, lighting the Indians.
I recoiled meeting him with his com
mand in ISOfi at Cottonwood Springs,
while I was crossing the plains with a
load going toward Denver. lie was a
man with an interesting career, hav
ing been a captain in the German
army and was wounded three times in
a charge upon the Danish fortiGca
tions at Dieppel in 1854 or '55, and
was so badly injured that he got his
discharge and came to America. He
had charge of a mill ft r Peter A.
Sarpy for a time and from there raised
the military company, which vas
mostly made up of men who lived at
old St. Marys. Cal. Moore, since then
deputy county clerk in this county,
was a member of his company, as was
FredLuming (generally known here
as 'Napoleon'). The captain remained
for a year after his regiment was mus
tered out at Cottonwood Springs (Ft.
McPherson) cutting and selling hay to
the troops at the fort, and returningto
Plattsmouth be went into the employ
of E. A. Wigginhorn & Co., in 1SG7.
w ho afterwards sold to G.SchnasseA
Co., (I being the "Co.") in the sale ol
dry goods and general merchandise.
He wasbw odds the most accomplished
salesman 1 ever knew, and could sell
goods to people who didn't aut them
at all. With all of his good qualities,
he became addicted to drink, and we
were finally obliged to discharge him.
In 1S74 he sold goods lor the Dom
liros., where Aug. Bach now keeps
He sent his family to Omaha durint.'
i his time, and, when the Dooms dis
charged him for drinking, he followed
them, and, during a tit of delirium,
committed suicide. I never knew a
man who knew better how to mak
money, or who seemed less able ti
neep it, than Capt. Henry Kuhl. lit
w as really a marvel as a money-maker
for others and w hen he got any he
could spend it like a lord."

Ic seems that the changes made thus
far are purely aibitrary. While West

not. Grand Island, Falls City, Hay

very distressing. I made inquiry as
tothe nature of the disease and learned
that I had asomewjiataggravated case
of Hemorrhoids or Piles. Was told of
several remedies and used them as di

such slight relief I cast about for a per
