"Do you speak French?'' asked a cen

Tli nevelopiueiit of Nebraska.
The development of Nebraka fur the
pat few years has I wen truly justonishing,
ami it has readied a point now from
whence a much greater change must be
expected. Our State being now suffici
ently jiopulated to demand railroads the
next few years must bring them.
The fact that our soil is good, and
produces grain and other agricultural ar
t'cles in great abundance and of superior
quality, the cheapness of Nebraska lands
and tlie rapid construction of the Union
I'acifie have attracted the attention of
all classes to Nebraska and brought
hither the lattorer seeking a home, no
lessthan the capitalists seeking oppor
tunities for speculation. As a result our
State has filled rapidly," the resources of
the soil have been in a measure devel
oped, arid railroad schemes have been
organized which will result ere many
years in checking the State in all direc
tions with an iron net work.
This year has already seen the com
pletion of one railroad from the river to
the interior the Sioux City and Pacific
ami we are quito confident that it will
yet see the completion of three others
from the river to Lincoln.
Do our readers fully apprehend the
immense increase of facilities we will
thus obtain, and the stimulus it would
give to all branches of trade ? Next
year not less than three other lines of
road will penetrate the interior, and as a
result we shall have an increase of pop
ulation and trade of which few of us
have dreamed even in our most sanguine
and hopeful moments.
This is the moment of time tnost fa
vorable to those locating in Nebraska.
They will not have long year.s of toil and
Erivation as the old citizens have had
efoi e they see the development of com
mercial facilities, and yet they are able
to obtain lands or city property at al
most primitive prices.
Investments made now will pay an
immense per cent, within the next two
or three years, and homes established
now may soon be surrounded by all the
luxuries and conveniences of civilized so
ciety. Now is the time to move to Ne
braska. Let our eastern friends mark
this situation and improve it. JTcbnts
Ua City IWs, 2Cti.
A Scotchman and an Irishman happen
ed to bo journeying together through a
most interminable; forest, and by some
mishap lot their way and wandered
about in a pit idle condition for a while,
when they fortunately came across e mis
erable hovel, which was deserted save by
alone chicken. As this jninr biped was
the only thing eatable to 1-e ootained",
they eagerly despatched and prepared it
for supner. When it was laid before
them, l'at concluded that it was insuffi
cient for the support of both himself and
Sawney, and therefore a proposition was
made to his companion that they should
spare the chicken until the next .morning,
and the one that had the most pleasant
dream should have the chicken, which
was agreed to. In the morning Sawney
told his dream. 1 Ie thought angels were
drawing him up to heaven in a basket,
and he was never before so happy. Upon
concluding his dream, l'at exclaimed,
"Och. sure, and be jabers, I saw yv
L'oinr. and thoutrht ve wouldn't come
back, so
mvsclf."
I got up and ate the chicken
At Indianapolis, last week a blind
horse wandered into the river near the
National Uoad Uridge, and getting be
yond his depth swam around in a circle
in his efforts to find his way out. His
distress attracted the attention of a horse
i . i i i . i
near ny on tlie oanK. wno instantly went
to his assistance, lie first went to the
water's edge and attempted to direct the
blind horse by neighing, but finding this
proceeding ineffectual, he boldly took to
the water and swam out to his relief.
After swimming with him for nearly a
quarter of an hour, he finally got the
blind horse to understand his good inten
tions, and in what direction the land lay,
and tlie two horses came to shore side bv
side amid the cheers of upward of 100
persons who were interested spectators
ot the scene.
.V . i m
. gentleman, m t no course ot a jour
ney in the west, one day suddenlv dc
scried a country tavern in the porch of
which sat one ot the oldest white haired
men he had ever seen crying like a child.
In answer to an inquiry as to the cause,
he sobbed out: "My father lias just lick
ed me." Upon entering the bar-room,
the traveler discovered another and much
older man ltehind the bar, whom he ad
dressed: "You seem to have some trou
ble here, strancrer. Your son informs
me that you have been whipping him."
"Yes," rejoined the landlord, excitedly.
"I could not avoid it. The young ras
cal was chasing his grandfather 'round a
ten-acre lot and stoning him. I had to
interfere stranger. ' '
Several weeks ago, William Marcy, of
.Montgomery Centre, - t., married a
young lady there, notwithstanding he
was engaged to a girl in Putney. Hear
ing that on this account some of the peo
ple were going to give him a tin pan ser-
ana'le, he ran away to Putney and mar
ried his first love. Ignorant of his sec
ond marriage, his Montgomery wife sent
a neighbor, who went to Putney on bus
iness, to tell him it was all safe and bring
him back. Supposing the man an om
cer, come to arrest him for bigamy, he
made for Pennsylvania, leaving both
wives behind.
When a dyspeptic and melancholic
young professional man bewailed his
prospects to Chief Justice Parsons, and
said he "didn't see how he should get
through the world. liu you ever
know any one to stop on the way ?" was
the grave and consoling reply.
Two young women and an Irishman
were conversing on ajre, when one of them
asked the home question, "which one of
us do you think the elder, .nr. 11 r
"Sure," replied the gallant Hibernian,
"you both look younger than the
other."
"What made vou marry that old wo
man?" said a mother to her son. "You
were always telnug me to choose a
wife like my mother," was the dutiful
reply.
An Indian tried the softness of feath
ers, by laving one uopn a rock and
stretching himself upon it. Some men
try the virtue of advertising on the same
plan.
Mrs. Jenkins complained in the even
ing that the turkey she had for Thanks
giving did not set well. "Probably,"
said Mr. Jenkins "it was not a hen
turkey."
A man once went to an eccentric law
ver to be qualified for some petty office.
The lawyer said to him: "Hold rp j-our
hand. I'll swear you, but all creation
couldn't qualify you."
Tlie l.ary Mu.it.
A lft7.v man. savs the "Fat Contribut
or," is almost always good-natured. He
never nies into a passion. He might
crawl into one, if that were possible, but
the idea ot his flying into anything is preposterous.
ho ever heard ot a lazy man orealc-
imr into a bank, where a crowbar had to
be used, or drilling into a safe? Nobody.
iNot that he might not covet his ncigu-
bor's goods contained therein, but tlie
horror of handling a crowbar and drills
would always deter him from actually
committing Inirglarv. He never runs
away with bis neighrior's wife, simply on
account of the horror he has of running.
If he is ever known to run, it is to run
to seed.
He rarely lies about his neighbors, for
it would be too much exertion; but he
can he at a bar-room all day.
He is of inestimable service to a bil
liard saloon, keeping the chairs warm
and watching the game, lor tew Avould
care to play where there are no specta
tors. J he tact that lie does tins wttnout
pay, day in and day out shows the unsel
fishness ot Jus nature. hat an indus
trious man, who considers his time worth
something, would want pay for, the lazy
man generally tloes for nothing, shr Ting
a freedom from mercenary uioti. 'hat
should go far to his credit.
The lazy man never gets up revolu
tions, insurrections, or other popular ex
citements, and don't make nuisance of
himself by tramping around the country
making incendiary speeches to promote
public discontent.
Jn his own neighborhood he is never a
busvbodv in other people's affairs, for
the very idea of being a busybody t any
thing would drive him out of his head.
1J- the wav.if he ever got out of his head
you would have to drive him out, lor he
wouldn t have energy enough to go out
of his own accord.
No lazy man ever ran mad. If he went
crazy, it was because he couldn't go any
where else without walking.
Iazv men don't disturb the quiet of
peaceful neighbors bv putting up fac
tories,
tions
furnaces, and other abomina-

Among the curiosities of nations pre
sented to the public at the Paris Exhi
bition was the Chinese portable kitchen.
One man carried it on las shoulders, and
served out his culinary produce to cus
tomers. It was a structure of wonder
ful lightness, especially so by the em
ployment of bamboo cane, to which it
was suspended. The contrivance is two
meters high and three meters wide.
One hand of the carrier steadiesthe machine-
while the other minds the cooking,
tends the "fire, ami serves the public.
In the front compartment, on the first
shelf, arc plates and dishes well arranged;
on the second shelf, wood and matches ;
on the "ground floor" is arranged the
cooking apparatus. The back com
partment contains a'l that can comfort
man, in a raw state meat, poultry, li-h.
vegetables and herbs, peppers." spices,
etc. for an extremely small sum, a
workman in China can have a comfort
able repast witho tt quitting his place of
work ; all he has to do is to beckon t o the
resa ( f-nian and up conies the dinner.

A young New England clergyman rid
ing in the cars between Springfield and
Pitfcsfield, sat opposite a spiritualist, who
was holding noisy discussion with his
neighlvr in the same seat on the subject
of liiiracles. The spiritualist contended
that the universe was governed by a fix
ed unalterable law, and miracles were
therefore impossible. After listening
some time, the clergyman replied that a
law could not execute itselt and that
Deity therefore continually acted: and ho
expressed the opinion that the spiritual
ist knew very little about what he was
discussing. The latter retorted back by
saving:
"Do von think vou cm make a fool of
me." "Oh, no," replied the minister,
"I am afraid the Lord has been too quick
for me." There were no further mani
festations. limner of Jlcvorie.
Do anything innocent rather than give
yourself to reverie. 1 dan speak on this
point from experience. At one period
of my life I was a dreamer and a castle
builder. Visions of the distant future
took the place of present duty and activ

The Hamburg Timr. gives the follow
ing relation to a shooting affair in Fre
mont county :
Our readers will remember that some
weeks ago a difficulty occurred between
Mr. Iiecka and Henry Lewis, in which
several shots were fired and Mr. Leek a
pretty badly wounded. It seems that
Lewis don't like his wife so well as he
does her sister. The sister aforesaid ful
ly reciprocates his affection but her stern
parents can't soe it. So while his wife
has sought protection under her father's
roof Henri' 's trying to get possession of
her sister and naturally enough the father
dosen't want to invest any more capital
in that stook. Henry is determined to
have her and last Sunday while Lecka
was away he sent two men to notify her
that he would come for her that night.
Leeka returning, got his shot gun and
sent the men away at double-quick.
They asserted as thev went that they
would have the girl that night if it cost
them their lives. To prevent this a.
guard was stationed around Leeka's
house who, in the night, discovered some
one making some suspicious movements
near the house and fired on him. It
proved to be a little boy of Henry Kane s
who had been sent to summon aid for a
sick person. The boy was seriously but
probably not fatally wounded, receiving
fourteen shots in his head, body aud
limbs. So the affair stands at present
but we may look for further develop-
ments soon. At present wc auvise an
Ecrsons to keep clear of that part of the
ottoiu after dark. It might seem to
some that the officers of the law could
find business in that direction. It is
certainly a disgrace to the whole commu
nity to permit it to proceed any lurther.
Value of Xoho.
The Imperial Court of llouen has just
decided the value of a nose. A gentle
man was some time since thrown out of
a cab, mashing his nose in such a manner
as to necessitate the amputation of half
of that organ ; and he, therefore, bro't
suit again.-t the driver for damages.
The counsel for the defendent admitted
that it was voiy disagreeable to loo.se
one's nose, but argued that the harm
done the plaintiff was not so great as if
ho bad been twenty years of age. Phys
ical beauty at that time of life was price
less: many a conquest, many a rich mar
riage had been made by a llomhn nose.
In the plaintiff's case, however, it was
different. He was married, tolerably
well off, and hal children; neither his
wife nor his children would love him any
less. Therefore, the damage done was
insignificant, and could not possibly af
fect the plaintiff's prospects. The plain
tiff's council contended that. Ins learned
friend was entirely wrong in his reason
ing, and that the hiinbaiid who had no
nose was good lor nothing. The jury
gave the plaintiff f?"l, J0.) damages.

Around the idea of one's mother tlie
mini of man clings with fond affection.
It is tlie first dear thought stamped upon
our infant hearts, when yet soft and ca
pi'.ble of receiving the most profound
impressions, and all the after feelings
are more or less light in comparison.
( )ur passions nnd our willingness may
lea l us far from the object of our filial
love ; we may become wild, headstrong
and angry at her counsels or opposition ;
but. when death has stilled her monitory
voice, :uid nothing but calm memoiy re
mains" to recapitulate her virtues and
good deeds. a!L:itiun, like a flower beaten
to tlie ground by a rude storm, raises up
her head, and smiles amidst her tears.
Hound that idea, as we have said, the
mind clings with fond affection ; and
even w'.i-n the earlier period of our lo.-s
force-momory to be silent, fancy takes
the place of remembrance, and twines
the memoiy of our departed parent with
a garland of grace.;, and virtues, which
we doubt not that she possessed.

makes the tour of the various gambling
resorts, going from Daden to Menaco,
and spending all her time at the tables.
She is still young, but has been married
throe times, and is now separated from
her last husband. Sometimes she wins
largely and at other times looses very
heavily, but plays incessantly, and is
still very rich. She Is supersticious
about her hick, and sometimes holds her
face in a particular position to attract
good fortune. At other times she is
careful to ask unlucky persons to leave
the table, and those whom she regards
as lucky to stand by her side while she

Brother W , "0o stop that old man's

Brother W , "What did you say to the

Brother W replied, "I asked him for

Loveliness.
It is not your neat dress, your expen
sive shawl, or your pretty- fingers, that
attract the attention of men of sense.
They look beyond these. It is the true
liveliness of your nature that wins and
continues to retain the affections of the
heart. Young ladies sadly miss it who
labor to improve their outward looks,
while they bestow not a thought upon
their minds. Fools may be won by gew
gaws and fashionable showy dresses, but
the wise and substantial are never caught
by such traps. Let modesty be your
dress. Use pleasant and agreeable lan
guage, and though you may not be
courted by fop or sot, the good and tru
ly great will love to linger in your steps.

Sir Isaac Newton set out in life .1
clamorous infidel, but on a nice examin
ation of the evidence of Christianity, he
found reason to change his opinion.
When the celebrated Dr. Halley was
talking infidelity before him, Sir Isaac
Newton addressed him in these, or like
words: "Dr. Halley, I am always glad to
hear you when you speak about astron
omy or other parts of mathematics, lo
calise that is a subject you have studied
and well understand ; but you should not
talk of Christianity, for you have not
studied it. ' I have, and am certain vou
know nothing about the matter." This
was a just reproof, and one that would
be soil able to be given to half the infi
dels of the present 'day, for they often
speak of what they have never studied,
and what, in fact, they are entirely igno
rant of. Pr. Johnson, therefore, -well
ob.-erved, "that no honest man could lx
an atheist, for no man could be so after
a fair examination of the proofs of Christ
ianity!" The name of Hiimo being
mentioned to him, "No, sir," said he,
' Hume owned to be a clergyman of the
Bishopric of Durham, that he had never
read the New Testament with attention."

It is not wise to begin to water plants
, , -.1. la-
lll tlie garden, unless it is lnreipici 10
follow it up thoroughly. If plants in the
open ground are watered, tkey throw out
their Jittle roots near the surface to drink
iu the moisture, and if afterwards the
watering be neglected, these little fibrous
roots perish for lack of moisture ami the
plant suffers. When they are not wa
tered at all, the little roots go down deep
er in search of moisture, and in well cul
tivated soil, 111 good condition, they usu
ally find enough to keep them from suf
fering, unless the drought continues un
usually long. If it Heein necessary to
give water it should be given copiously
in quantity, sufficient to go down to the
bottom of the roots; a sprinkling that
merely wets the surface is worse than
none. Syringing the leaves to Wash off
