Would Henry Chj Dean be consid

because he abound in dirt ? We should
like a decision from a competont com
mittee at the State fair now holding.
The Omaha Herald fays it "dius.-c3
railroads no more." We are sorry to
hear this. We had hoped the Herald
would continue to talk in favor of Kail
Koads In geueral, and the U. P. It. R.
in particular.
A man that will "stu 3' a ballot box"
vhen he has no opposition, but does it
from an inherent love of ra.eality, what
would not he do if he had an induce
ment ? Would he "correct the gram
mar" of the conntv or State ?
A nubscriber stopped the Ottumwa
Covrier because one of its editors on the
committee on resolutions at the last Re
publican convention, refused to report a
temperance plank for the platform.
The editor remarks that he would have
been inconsolable if he had not learned
that the liberal-minded stopper waa one
of the wife-whipping gentry.
The Nebraska City Chronicle says the
rates of Telegraphing will be largely re
duced, on and after the first of next
month. Our polite and efficient oper
ator Mr. William?, informs us that this
reduction will amount to about fifty per
oenL This will bring the telegraph into
general use, and much better paying in
stitution to the proprietors, while it will
be within the reach of all cla.sc..
AVE.M'ES.
At tho risk of being charged with im
Iertinenee, we again ak if some plan
cannot be devised for openiug avenues
through the natural approaches to the
a ty. We diblike to set idly by and tee
building after building go up and no ac
tion taken on this important matter.
Wo believe a survey should be made,
and an estimate made of the cost of
opening these avenues. A considerable
portion of the property along the lines
u owned by men who would probably
give a hearty assent to the opeu
ing of these thoroughfare?, and we doubt
not the remaining right of way could be
purchased for much less than it will cost
to grade streets a they are at present
located. Let us have an effort made,
and then if it is found impracticable, it
can be abandoned. A survey will cost
but little money, and then it would co-t
nothing to ascertain who will give the
right of way and who will not.
A. ntE m Kl-FJUQIK.
Yerterday, (Monday) afternoon, five
or six persons who formerly acted with
tho Republican party, and three or fu:
others who thought to have a little sport,
happened to meet in the office of the
Platte Valley llouse, and proceeded to
organize a meeting, by calling Mr. Pot
tenger the Chair. As a meeting could
not be properly carried out without a
Secretary, Mr. V. V. Leonard, a Demo
crat, was pressed into the service in that
capacity. Some one moved that polls
be opened, and accordingly a hat was
produced. Voting being declared in or
der, a largo number of tickets were
brought out, already written, and each
man present, to the number of eight or
ten, deposited a paper in the hat. The
Secretary then stepped out a few min
utes, and when he came back they count- i
cd the ballots in the hat and decided
there were over sixty of them, and it was
declared that the men whose names were
on the pieces of paper were delegate to
the County Republican Convention.
Soon after this burlesque arrangement
had closed, some of the parties commenc
ed circulating the report that it was a
genuine convention, and that the dele
gates elected would contest the right of
the delegates elected at the convention
on Saturday to hold seats in the County
Convention, and we understand, at the
present writing, that siu-h is the inten
tion of some of the men whose names
were upon the so-called ballots.
Upon hearing such report we immedi
ately went to Mr. Leonard, their Secre
tary, who Informs ns that he is a Demo
crat, that he. had no idea that the meet
ing was any more than a burlesque, and
that he did not believe there were twenty
m."n voted ; that no statement was made
as to the objects of the meeting, or any
thing else done as is usual at a genuine
convention ; that he did not recognize
tho meeting as anything moro than a
good joke. We understand Mr. Adams,
Mr. Bates, and others whose names were
on the aforesaid paper, repudiate any
part or parcel in the meeting, and refuse
to give countenance to the effort to cre
ate disturbance by sending a second dele
gation to Weeping Water. Some of tho
men who Toted there were Democrats,
some of them arc not Totcrs, and some
of them repudiated the whole thing as
poon as they ascertained what use was
intended to be made of the action. We
are astonished at the impudence of tho
move, and shall be more astonished if it
has what we believe to be the desired
effect that of disrupting the party in
this county. . At least two of the prom
inent men in this move declared, un
equivocally, before the primary meetings
were any of them held, that they would
not support any man nominated at
Weeping Water on the 29th.

The following is the address dulirared
by Pat Grand Master Wheeler at tho
laying of the Comer Stone of the- State
University at Lincoln on th? 23d :
Mr Masonic BfimnirM:
Standing a I do in the ire-eijccb of '
the mot exalted men of our State, and
to be followed aa 1 am to be by oue, ad
mitted by all as emphatically an ur.tor,
and of v horn I can truly say, "He it is
who, cominff after me, is pruterred U fore
me." You will believe me guiltyo? no
affectation when I say I feel a diffidence
which to me is unusual. Still, as your
acting Grand Master, I have a duty to
perform, and I hrink frcm no dutj un
der any circumstances.
The laying of foundation stones is a
ceremony peculiar to our Fraternity, and
is a legacy left us as speculative Masons,
from our Fathers of the operative ages
of the craft. Numerous indeed have
been the occasions upon which ouij Or
der has pei formed this time honored
ceremony, but no one of them lives in
the memory of those of our Order
who are citizens of this Republic
more imperisbably than that occasion in
which the Father of his country., the
great Washington himself, as the Grand
Master of Mason-!, laid the foundation
stone of the national capitol on the 18th
day of September. 17fJ3. I lonorabte in
deed, then, is it to us seventy-six years
thereafter, to assist in a similar cere
mony suggesting, as it docs, the mem
ory of that memorable occasion, when
our venerated brother, afwr achieving by
hi gallant leadership as a warrior, lib
erty and independence to his country,
clothed with a Freemason's apron and
Freemason's tools, himself laid the
foundation stone of the '"Home of Lib
erty." I am unable to conceive of a more in
teresting occasion than this upon which
we have assembled. Here, with the
proud dome of our State Capitol tower
ing but a short distance away, assembled
together from the North and the South,
from the East and the West as well an
from every portion of our beautiful prai
rie State, to erform a duty, indicative
in itself, of the growth and prosperity
of this the youngest State of this great
Republic. "Now, therefore," says the
Historian. Josephus, 'Solomon.; the
King, laid the foundation of the Temple
deep iu the ground, and the materials
were strong stones, and such as would
resist the force of time." And so, we,
following this sublime example, have
laid here deep in the ground, and of
strong stones that we trus t will resist the
force of time, the foundations of a
house wherein we hope for lengthened
years the children of our people shall be
educated for the good, happiness and
glory of the people of our State and of
the whole nation.
And. now, my brethren, do we see
nothing here, in those ceremonies, on
this occasion to cheer us? ('old indeed
must be our hearts if they can calmly
beat on in "their pulsations while our
eyes behold nothing but a plain rock,
hewed and squared, and our cars hear
nothing but '"it is a corner stoue." I
see in these ceremonies, as it were, the
i-piiit of Washington among us. renew
ing the hopes and wishes and prayers
that he never failed to offer in his life
time for the promulgation of learning
and the perpetuation of this great Re
public. I perceive the seal set to a re
newed lease of the means of educating
the people, preserving our liberties, ami

The pressure of business is the cause
of my long silence. My last article was
on Orthography. I will now attempt a
few lines on Reading. Reading in my
opinion, is one of the most important
branches taught in our common schools.
Though it, like many other "unimport
ant" branches, has been and is yet too
much neglected. The first step to be
taken to become a good reader is some
tliing that cannot be too lightly regarded
by the competent teacher ; and, how de- j
plorable a thing it is that so many teach
ers fail in this one respect. If a pupil is
allowed to hurry over his words or sen
tences without properly pronouncing or
knowing what he reads, his hopes of suc
cess may well be despaired of. How !
often do we hear it remarked by parents, j
and more especially by the weaker heads
of families, how excellently little Mary
reads 1 the can read so many verses or
jages in so many minutes ; Ehe never mis
pronounces a word, Ac, Ac Mary, you
may close your book. "What is J.hc sub
ject of your lesson ?" Mary ean proba
bly give it, provided the teacher's atten
tion is called away for a moment, and she
has an opportunity of peeping into her
book. "What does your lesson contain,
or tell me what you have .been reading
about?" She hesitates, casts knowing
looks about her, but cannot give a word.
Thus it is plain to be seen that reading,
and reading well and perfectly, does not
consist alone in skimming hurriedly and
smoothly over a lessson. The husband
man who places the implement into the
rich, mellow soil, expecting thereby to
reap a bountiful harvest in the future,
must needs delve deep into the earth,
and not skim along the surface. By thn?
doing, and only thus, can his expecta
tions be realized. The pupil may find it
a much slower, and less pleasant process,
but he will find it a more successful one
in the end. Study the nature and inter
est of the piece you read ; if the author
delves deep down into th ocean oT
thought, go down with him ; if he takes
imagination's winds and soars over mys
tic heights, soar with him, and then you
have it otherwise you will never be an
agreeable, thoughtful reader, but a pitia
ble, jargonic imitator.

The Little Blue, published at Jenkins'
Mills, Jefferson county, contains particur
lars of the destructive flood that visited
the Blue River country three weeks ago,
mere rumors of which only have reached
us cp to this time. We transfer the
JAltle Blue's account entire to our col
umns :
Friday evening, Sepf- Hd, this vicinity
was v bated I y the heaviest rain of the
seuaou. The rain commenced Hilling
about 7 p. m. and came down in torrents
all night, deluging the earth with water.
We had made arrangements to start for
Ijawrenee, Kansas, to attend the State
Fair, but on getting up at 5 a. in. found
it impossible to got a team across the
river, owing to the rise.
It rained more or less all Huy Saturday,
but the river did not raise but little.
Some entertained hopes tLat it had uot
rained much above, and that the river
would be fordable. We did not credit
this belief and in the evening went to D.
C. Jenkins and wanted a lantern that we
might watch the progress of the rise.
We told him that it would not surprise
us to see the water cover Front street ;
we were laughed at, and had almost come
to think our fears groundless.
Sunday morning, however, the water
commenced rai.-jng, but still ah thought
that the water would not get above the
high water mark of two weeks ago.
Y e with others threw off our coat and
went to woik on
the levee, in ordor to
make the dam more secure.
About 9 a. in., W. R. Sr. and S. F.
Jenkins came down the river an 1 re
ported tho bottoms covered with water,
and that it was coming down in rolls.
We had to wait Lut a few moments to
see it coming down in a body about four
feet high, and sweeping everything be
fore it. Every man on the grouud
plunged into the water to save the lum
ber and logs about the mill, but it was of
no avail almost everything whs carried
away, and the water stood fkteen feet
higher than it was ever before known.
Wheat stacks were swept past like
lightning. Hay stacks were torn and
scattered over the waters. Houses that
were supposed to be high and dry, were
covered with water ; out buildings were
crried away with their contents ; iueu,
women and children barely made their
escape. Cattle, hog?, sheep and poultry
were drowned. In fact, everything was
either drowned or carried away.
Crops on nearly all the tributaries of
the Blue were destroyed. Rose Creek
was swept clean of everything. Watt's
Flouring Mill on that creek was carried
off, and is a total loss. We have not
learned its estimated value, but its loss
to that secton of country is great.
The town of Frecport, on the opposite
ide of the river from this plicc,
covered wrh water to the deth of cigh.
and ten feet. The wagons, buggies, har
ness, hay stacks and in fact everything
movable" might be seen wending their
way St. liOuis-ward. Mr. Ja. Frazh'i's
loss cannot be Icks than $1,)00, while
many other citizens wore heavy losers.
Wc.have not been able to ascertain the
amount.
We cannot give the loss of all, as It is
impossible for us to get about to see.
We will only give a few of the heaviest.
1). C. Jenkins lost his entire crop ; es
timated at least $ 1 ,000. I lis loss at the
mill iu damage done to the dam, levee
and machinery, is atthe least calculation
3.000, The" water was so high that it
covered Front street from end to end,
but did not get into any of the houses.
In front of the hill it wa-hed the street
out about eight feet deep. This was the
' . . , rrl
only place it done any u.image. me
Levee on the smith si ieoi the river is
gone, and a channel cut through from
atiove the dam that will cotsOOora
$1.0 JO to repair it.
The sdiool hr-ue on the bottom above
town, standing, as was mppo-vd, five
feet abov hili water uia;k. was half
covered with water.
The LitiU lilur oth.je was completely
surrounded by water, and we came to the
conclusion that if the water roe much
higher wo would have to diionse wiih
this nuuiher of our paper, but no dam
age was done to the office.
'We have not up to the present time
heard of aay deaths by drowning. There
is no communication either up or down
the river. We fear that where the flood
caught ths people In the night we will
hear of some being drowned.
The losses of property within three
miles of this plaoe is estimated at $75,
000, and the loss in this vicinity is light
compared with some others.
This flood has been to this new coun
try a great damage. Plenty of every
thing has been raised, more than would
have been consumed, but it is swept
away and the farmer to-day looks upon
empty fields and granaries. The mer
chant, lawyer and printer, looking as
they do to the farmers for support, have
now to turn their attention to something
else for a living.
We hope by next week to be able to
give a more accurate account of the losses
in our vicinity. -We feel satisfied that
we do nox over estimate the loss on the
Little Blue and its tributaries, when we
put itat $1,000,000.
We learn that the waters have been
equally high in the 6treams 6outh of us,
in Kansa. ltctort says mat tne nour-
in mill of S. & l'enwell, and the .-aw
mUl of J. R. Hallowell, on Mill Creek,
12 miles 'south of this in Washington
County. Kansas, have both been carried
off. We do not know how true thi. re
port is, but do cot doubt its; truthfulness,
if the waters were as high there as here.
As near a.s we can ascertain from our own
figures, and those made by others, there
was eleven and three-quarter inchfs of
water fell during Friday night. It seemed
to as that the heavens opened and poured
one ceH.elu5t stream of water upon the
earth for nearly sixteen hours. Streams
that wore never known to have more than
a foot of water in them, had ten to fifteen
fuct, and water could almost be seen
standing on the hill-sides.
Since the above was put in type we
are informed that Weisel'sMill and dam
at Meridian, this county, are loth gone.
We have not yet learned the amount of
darjage. A gentleman in from Water
ville tells us that the llailroad Bridge
across the Blue, at Trviu, was reported
washed away. The bridge is s-aid to le
sixty leet alove high-water-mark.
There is no property left, we are in
forni'jtd, on Hose Creek. This creek wa
thickly nettled, and had the best grain on
it of" anv stmaiu in Southern jsebraska
or Northern Kansas.

We learn from parties just in from the
Big Blue that there was no rise in that
stream. The storm seems to have pasMhl
down the Little Blue River, Mill and
Coon creeks, not extending north of the
Little Blue.
Mr. John Mitchem. just in from above,
reports Mark's llouring mill on Rose
Creek, gotie. This takes tho last flour
ing mill out of the country, making four
mills gone.
Every minute brings us fresh intelli
gence of damage done to property, and
death caused by the flood. Next week
we shall try and give a correct account,
though we expect that it will be almost
impossible for us to do so.
Parties just in from Rose Creek say
that a number of spans of horses were
drowned Saturday night, and that the
water stood by actual measurement CO
1'eet deep. Rose Creek is a small stream,
and was never before since its settlement
by white men, known to in the biggest
storms have risen more than eight or ten
feet.

The Disengaged Jluclielor.
He is generally under five-and-twenty,
for we do not allude to old bachelors.
He dresses well, but not anxiou-ly. It
does not so much matter to him if his
gloves are not buttoned, or if t he j arting
of his black hair is not quite straight.
His w hole manner is that of a man who
owns himself ; who" has no one to think
of when he does anything. He con.-orts
with gay fellows, who smoke a great deal,
and he smokes a great deal himself.
He doesn't mind owning to having been
out late last night, and beinsj unable to
find a place for his latch-key when he
reached home. II a changes his boarding-place
frequently, and is generally
ahead of his salary. He laughs at en
gaged follows, and pities married ones.
He is otT-hand in Lis manner, ami pays
great attention in a jolly rtof a way
to the last new pretty girl. He patron
izes the burlesque opera, and goes alone
with boquctsto lling to the most fa-ina-tinir
performer. Kven there he is fickle;
and the sylph with black hair, who is his
idol one night, is quite forgotten the
next for the Monde in blue and silver.
On the whole, he is extremely happy ;
has brighter ey-Ji, fresher lips, and nicer
hair than any other kind of man you
meet, and seems to have '"disengaged"
and "not in love" written in every
dimple.
