Strange as it may appear, the Timet

ated on the banks of the Rig Muddy
reached by rail over the B. & M., by
steamboat - via the .Missouri, or by inula
down the bottom from Council Bluffs.

tered very many incidents, some acci

at Glenwood, executed a gyratical acro

The pleasures of the trip were enhanced
by the delightful presence of one of

South to visit her friends.

terrific slopes, through labyrinthine wind

ning brooks, along a muady ucacn, ana

reached the city, breathing an internal
and figurative anathema for the lack ot
ferries and bridges. Then we reached

Our gonial friend, mine host Ira, took us
by the left hand, while a hundred dele

of th F. & A. M. of Nebraska took us
by the right, and we were received,
entertained, and then retired to enjoy
a little of "Nature's bweet restorer,
balmy sleep."
AT TIIE HOTEL
we found, this morning, a inousana
friends, members of the Grand Lodge
A ... . , 1
and others, who have met here for the
Grand Convocation and on matters ot
business connected with the fraternity.
Hannv Plattsmouth ! She revels in de-
lichts which moral Omaha and staid
Council Bluffs mieht. nay. do envy.
This magnificent hotel, we are glad to
say, is doing a splendid bui-incs. . Tho
elegant rooms are occupied every night
and the narlors are thronged during tho
day. Nothing is lacking here to make it
pleasant for the guests, and the proprie
tors. Messrs. Iliiiby & Son. so well
known in Omaha and Council Bluffs,
have made themselves popular with the
traveling public.
THE G. L.
will have its election of officers to-morrow.
We cannot tell at this writing who
will be elected for the ensuiug j-ear.
Many of the members have been in the
city since Friday last, but the majority
will arrive to-night and to-morrow morn
ing. The session will close about Thurs
day afternoon. The banquet at the
Brooks to-morrow night promises to be
a success in every respect. Many ladies
accompany the delegates, and many more
are coming. The town will be crowded
to overflowing.
The Herald, the only live paper pub
lished in the city, shows a remarkable
degree of life, enterprise and progresivc
ness. Its editor, Mr. Hathaway, is
shrewd, muscular, demonstrative, ener
getic, ambitious, good looking, wide
awake, and thoroughly imbued with
what common people call progiessive
ideas, but we term, nluck. vim and back
bone. 'Tis he, and none other, who is
making the town. Of course, they have
here live men who realize their import
ance and devote their present funds to
th accumulation 6f many ducats, but
still a solid standing is reauired.
The city has improved wonderfully
since our last visit. The bluffs are bein
cut ud. torn down, leveled off, the ho
lows filled, trees cut down in one place
and planted in another, and ucw build
in are going ud. The heaviest men
among whom we net ice S. Bloom, cloth
ing merchant and Tom. Palmer, livery
man, are all doing a splendid business.

The wedding of Mr. Wendell Phillips
many years ago, had about it a touch of
rouiace. The ladjr who is now his wife
was an abohtionest and an invalid., llav
ing a fortune in her own right, she
thought of devoting it to emancipation
but knowing how money left in that way
is likely to be waited, she deemed it best
to transfer it to an individual in whom
she had entire faith. She had been for
some time a sincere admirer ot the uis- j
tinguished orator, and had reason to be
lieve that he had an affection for her.
Thinking her end was drawing nigh, she
sent for Mr. Phillips, an J after unfolding
her plan, told him the best thing to
do under the circumstances was for them
to be married ; that he would then have
a right to her property, and could de
vote it to the cause they both so earn
estly loved. He was much touched by
her candor and generosity, and in a few
days they were married. That was twen
ty years ago, and Mrs. PhiJips. though
very delicate, i still living, and bids fair
for years to come. The pair are devo
tedly attached to each other; and what
seems to have been merely a business af
fair has produced all the happiness of
the most romautic and poetic marriage.
He was wealthy before his union, and
since then his own and his wife's means
have been liberally expended in the cause
of humanity and freedom. Apart from
his remarkable genius, Mr. Phillips is a
man of irreproachable habits, living and
acting up to an ideal standard as nearly,
perhaps, as is possible for a man.
Tbe new Sunday law closed the front
doors of the saloons in Cincinnati on the

of fifteen cents each.

Plattsmouth, Nebraska, )
June 1G, 1870. J
This village, like all others of great
expectations and what WesUrn hamlet
is without them? is called a city. Its
name is more significant than the classic
and poetical cognomens of which so
many of our towns are now beginning to
be ashamed; for the name describes the
position of the place, which is just south
of the River Platte, and at its mouth.
The population, by my guess, is 2,500.
The Platte is a stream broader, and I
think longer, than the Ohio, but so
shallow that the steamboat captain
whose vessel could make its passage
even in heavy dew, despaired of forcing
his wav ud the Platte. ISoth its names
denote shallowness, namely,- the French
name, Platte, which also commemorates
the pioneer explorers who came from
France, and the Indian name, Nebraska
which is compounded of Ne, rtVcr,and
Braska, thoal.
A Fret-byterian minister was installed

doubt in other columns you hive an ac
count of the services then. J his clergy
man Rev. Mr. Cameron was from
Nova Scotia, and his family is but one of
thousands who are this season making
their exodus from British America to a
better soil and climate, and that where
no Fenians molest. Thf y come from a
realm where all is effete to one in the
loom of yonth : from on where society
is fixed as in a frost to one where ail is
expanding in the double life and new life
of springtime.
Piatt -mouth is styled the initial ter
.... , i .
minus oi tue oniy rainoau a- yet in op
eration south of the J'latte. It is a ter
minus as the end of the road from Chi
cago through Burlington and Southern
iowa to the Missouri River. It is the
' ....
initial of a road already in operation to J
Ashland, thirty miles, about to open to
the Nebraska Capital, Lincoln, in a
month, and cass on to a junction With
the Union Paeific near Fort Kearney.
Thus a transcontinental route will be
completed, shorter than that now trav
eled through Omaha, aud very nearly in

Having spent several weeks in Ne
braska, and traversed several hundred
miles of its inteiior, as well as ' inter
viewed" many of its most intelligent
men and women, I should like to say
more about it than my leisure will now
permit. .
The most noticeable feature in the Ne
braska of to-day is the rush of immi
grants to its lands both nurth and south
of the Platte but especially to the
south, whera cattle can live easily all
winter without shelter. On every train,
in stages, but especially in white covered
wagons, they come. Far back from the
river I met a colony of twenty-five Hun
garians, mostly on foot, with outland
ish chests in wagons. The men had
runs and were able to kill game enough
for food. No need of arms for defense. J
Only two men, the Governor tells me,
have been killed by Indians this season ;
and these far from the lands now for
sale by the Platt-mouth Railroad Com
pany.
I have found the railroad lands also
more saleable than others, because buy
ers have a credit of ten jears, if they
wish it. The railroad sellers remember
the sage remark of Buike in 1782, that
a government is unwise if it charge set
tlers much for land. So doing, it takes
away te capital which a man needs to
improve bis land money which, so em
ployed, would soon give the government
something considerable to tax. So the
Railroad Company, in granting long
credit, purpose to Jet the sponge fill; be
fore they squeeze it.
I was last week in Lincoln at the land
sales. They were more successful than
had been hoped. Ihey yielded 6,UOO
for a penitentiary. Poor city lots sold
for more than good ones last year,
though the trices then secured were
fabulous. In one day $16,000 worth of
railroad land was bought, and the sales
of that sort for tho month of May
amounted to almost $400,000.
Part of these sales were in Iowa but
I was astonished to learn that Nebra3
kau prices ruled higher than in the older
State. I think of Nebraska a an infant
of days; but when I find that its thirty
two counties have each, on an average,
over one thousand school children ; that
its school fund is proportionately more
than ten times as large as that ot Ohio,
and that its university fund is as much
larger, I cannot but look on this youngest
anio? g our sister States as tbe prophetic
child who was to he born an nunarea
vars old.
Still "there temaineth yet much land
to be possessed. ' ' Nebraska about the
nrpa of England and Scotland combined
has now a territory larger than all
Ohio, where he that will may occupy a
nnnrter of a souare mile, ana never pay
tor it more than eighteen dollars. Half
stir, haif solitude, this State reminds me
sometimes of Milton's lion, that at the
creation appeared rising out of the earth
and pawing to get free his hinder parts
sometimes ot the monsters inavereau
about in old chroniclers as generated by
the slime of the Nile, whose forefeet be
gan cawing before their hindfect were
made, and while their litter ends re
mained nolliing more than raw mud.
mw a . a
xhis latter image is the more expre-xive,
as I see that the soil alongside the Platte
fceems to be of the MiLf-ame chemical
elements which gave tha Nile banks ia
Egypt their world-famous fertility.
Now Swltca.
We were shown to-day at the B. &.
M . office, a patent switch invented by
W. H. Staats, of Troy, New York. It
has a fine combination and will undoubt
edly le universally adopted by many of
our leading railroads ere two years have
rolled around. It is so constructed that
a train cannot iiossibly be thrown from
the track whether it be open or closed.
Railroad men pronounce it perfect. C.

Bernard Daren tbe Murderer.
About twelve o'clock last night the
neighborhood of Thirteenth and Web
ster was startled with the cry of mur
der 1 Hastening to the spot we ascer
tained that a fatal stabbing affair was
the cause of the fearful cry, and that the
victims were Col. Mulcahy, an attorney
at law of this city, Jerry McCheane, a
constable, and an expressman, and the
party committing the crime, Bernard
loren.
The facts concerning the bloody affair
are as follows:
Justice Graham had issued a warrant
for the arrest of Bernard Boren, who
has been but six days out of jail and is
known as a notorious character, and was
stopping at this time on Webster street,
south sidej between Twelfth and Thir
teenth, and Constable McCheane, in
company with Col. MuLahy and the ex
pressman (whose name we were unable
to learn) Lad gone to the house above
named to make his arrest, when the
fatal stabbing mentioned ensued. How
it began or what passed between the
parties, we were unable to ascertain.
On coming to the scene we found Col.
Mulachy lying on the ground, corner of
Thirteenth and Webster streets, Witfi a
number of citizens urouni him, and Ir
Mercer giving n-edical adviw. Two
wounds had ieen i flicted on his person,
both entering tbe left lung. At out a
hundred yards disiaut in front of the
house where the assault was mad-?, lay
constable Mel' h ,-ane with a cut in his left
temple, penetrating to the brain. Dr.
Denise was with him doing all in his
power to relieve his sufferings.
The expressman, whose wound was
through the hand, had gone to his home.
Doren, at that time had disappeared, but
shrewd detectives and policemen were al
ready on his track.
Both Mulachy and McCheane were in a
most critical condition, and the physicians
attending prononunoed their wounds fa
tal with a possibility of recovery but no
j probability whatever. Hope seemed to

lhe unfortunate men were lelt in the

The ground on which the warrant for
the arrest of Doren was issued, as near
as we could learn, was that of i! legally
living with his stepmother. Conflicting
report, however, were carreut as to
that point.
Drs. Mercer and Denise did all that
medical skill could devise for tho suffer

A rather verdant young man, whose
features exhibiting every symptom of
having been slightly tinged with the em

6tore in New York, and gazing earnestly
into the show case, remarked .
"You've got a heap of mighty pretty
breast pins thar, mister ; what mought
ye tax for 'em?"
"What sort of a pin would you like to
look at?" inquired the merchant.
'Well, dunno" said the visitor,
pointing to a plain Masonic pin, (the
compass and square), "how much is that
ycre ?' '
"Five dollars only, sir.' was the reply.
"It's a very fine pin, eighteen carat gold,
and "
"You haven't got ary one with a litt'e
gold hand saw laid across it, hov you?"
interrupted the would be purchaser.
"I believe not, sir," said the merchant.
"Wish yer had; it would suit me ex
actly. I'm just out of my time, and
gwine to set up as a carpenter and j'iner,
and I thougnt I'd like some sort of a
sign to wear about mc, so folks would
have an idea who I wa. YY hat do you
tax for that ar pin you've got yer hand
on?"
"Seven dollars," said the merchant,
producing a compass and square sur
rounding the letter G.
"Seven dollars, eh!" said the youth.

A few mil'.'s up the river a few day3
ago a man and his fauii'y sq-iattcd on an
other person's land and built a small
frame shanty. When requested to re
move, lie positively refused to do so ; so
one night a squad of men came round,
afler the Bquatter anl his wife were
asleep, and, lifting the whole concern,
shanty and all, with deliberate care car
ried it to the river at set it on a small
rati. Then they pushed the raft out into
the stream, and let hjr go. When the
squatter got up in the morning dawn to
go out, he was surprised to find him-.clf
about sixty miles down the stream, and
making time in a nine knot current.
The squatter observed to his wife that
if he ever got back to histoid home, war
would probably be organized on a most
formidable scale.
We find floating in our exchanges the
following directions to accomplish a sure
result : "Young men it is easy to be
nobody. Go to the drinking saloons to
spend j'our leisure. You need not drink
much' now, just a little beer, or some
other drink. In the meantime play
dominoes or something else to consume
time, so that you will be sure not to use
any useful book ; or if you do read, let it
be" the 'dime novel' of the dayj Thus
go on keeping your stomach full, head
empty, and yourself busy playing tiuie
kibing games, and in a few years you'll
lie nobody, unless you should turn out to
be a drunkard or a professional gambler,
either of which is to be worse than no
body. There are a great many men in
oar town jus: ready to graduate and be
nobodies."
i-Iis Harriet Ilosmer was among the
foreigners who enU red horses at the late
priu racrs at. Rome and her admirers
and fil.Mids will be pleaded to hvar that
on the last day her horse was of the win
ning. She seems to divide her affections
between her profession and her stable,
and faetiously calls the latter her S.u-
lio. The races are largely attended by
th? Roman ladies, who drive out in
their most thowy carriages, and dress in
their most elegant dinner costumes at
the expense of what must be considered
good tate, and at the ruin of delicate
fabrics suitable only for the salon and
the evening. At Lest, these present but
i .i t.l
a pitiable piignt, wnen ayen tnrougu me
clouds of dust on the Via Appia, and
only evidence the folly of the wearers.

Josh Billings says bachelors are always
