Every editor of a nowpaer will ap
f.reciate t!ic truth of the following pass-are
from some of the writings of Capt.
Mavryatt : " It is not the writing of the
loading article itself, bftt the obligation
to write that article every day (or week)
whether inclined or not, in sickness or
in health, in affliction, disea-e of the
iiiiud, winter and summer, year after
year, tied down to the task, remaining
in one spot. It is something like the
w ilking of a thousand hours. I have a
fellow fee ing, for I know how a period
ical will wear down one's existence. In
it .-self it appears nothing ; the labor is
n.u maniiest ; nor is it the labor, but it
is the continued attention which it re
i mires. Your life becomes, as it were,
the publication. One day's (or week's)
pap?r ii no sooner corrected and printed
th-in on wines another. It is tbe stone
of Sysiphu-; an endless repetition of
toil, a constant weight upon the intel
lect and spirits, demanding all the exer
tion of your facilities, at the same time
ibat you are compelled to do the severest
kind of drudgery. To write for a news
paper is very well, but to edit one is to
ondomn yourself to perpetual drudgery.'
All of which is as true as preaching.
A Queatien Nettled.
Old Joe B was a quiet old man.
but somewhat too fond of the bottle.
hen in his cups, his ideas tended to
ward theological matters, which he al
ways avoided in his sober moments. It
was Saturday afternoon (Connecticut
baking day), and his good, wife wanted
some wood toe tho oven.
"Joe. I do wish you would eo and
split some wood. Here it is nearly 2
.o'clock , and the fire isn t made.
Joe went to execute lis commission.
bur. fearing his physical condition was
weak, manmed to a neighboring tavern
to f.rtifv himself therein. He returned
home utterly oblivious to all these things
save his pet theories. Seating himself
.n the chair he said : "I say (hie) Jane,
do you (i.ic) think the Lord (hie) means
to b-irn us all (hie) up in fire ?"
His venerable spouse, being exceed
ingly irate did not answer. Again he
repeated the question. Siillan ominous
silence.
'"Wife, do you think the Lord means
to bum us up in fire everlasting?"
"No!" baid the now thoroughly
aroused housewife; "no, you old foof,
not if He waits for you to split the
wood!'
We've heard of jeop!o who got rclig-

Republican Ntate Cdu:. n.
In less than one month tin- .! villi
cans meet in State Convention at Lin
coln, to select candidates for State oui
cers, and for Congress. In a State so
radically Republican as Nebraska the
incomiming imputation of which is des
tined to establish more and more firmly
the present political status it is impor
tant that the preliminary work of the
canvass be well and carefully done.
Where a nomination is equivale it to an
election, almost as iuulIi interest is felt
in the action of the convention, as in the
subsequent contest at the ballot-box.
The pioximity of the convention sug
gests the necessity of prompt action.
i he note oi preparation is not yet heard.
Very few counties have taken action.
The press is almost silent on the subject.
o significance may attacn to tins state
of facts. It may be that all is well ,
that the Republicans of the State are
wide awake and will prove themselves
fully equal to the restxinsiLilities resting
upon them. We can only hope that
such is the case, in the absence of any
indications of the fact.
But it is safe and proper, even for one
who has so recently become a citizen of
the State, to say, that no decree of
fctrength, no assurance of coming victory,
can justify a party in relaxing its vigil
ance. Organization must be kept up.
Efficient men must be placed on the
working committees. Everything tend
ing to consolidate, harmonize, and call
out a full and fair expression of senti
ment on all occasions, should be assidu
ously done. Every act of a party,
through its agents, its press and com
mittees, should bear the stamp of fair
ness, and command the confidence of all
its members.
The caucus and convention systems in
their most improved for-ii, give birth to
so much that is exceptionable and unfair,
as to render absolutely necessary a con
stant recurrence to those principles that
lie at the foundation of the lk-publican
party. Committeemen must be above
suspicion. Set apart to do the work oi
the whole party, they have no jiiit to
use their power in tho interest of a few.
Forgetting this, they contribute to the
growth of factions; within the party, and
sow seeds of discord that will ripen in
dishonor and defeat.
But our purpose on this occasion, and
at this busy season of the farming dis
tricts, is simply to sound the note of
preparation, and remind our political
friends in this and the other counties of
the State, ol'thc necessity oi givingdiu at
tention to the coming State Convention.
County conventions should be so called
au l posted astosive aue notice toall in
terested. The humblest voter in the
Republican ranks, is entitled to his voice
and influence in all the prcliminari' acts
tending to designate the standard bear
ers of the party, just as much as he is
entitled to deposit the hallo that weighs
as heavily and counts as much as that of
the most conspicuous member of the or
ganization. Happily we have no prejudices to
gratify, no seifish purposes to subserve.
We are in a position to do ju-tice to a!!
who aspire to consideration in the com
ing State Convention. We i;ave the in
trest that every true Republican lus in
the elcctian of honest an j capable men.
We deprecate as an evil the selection
of any others, as We would deprecate and
denounce the introduction of a false
principle in the Republican code. It is
because we do not want to see the party
in this young and vigorous Statu placed
in a false position and crippled in its on
ward march, that wc desire now and
here to remind our friends that the work
OeJoie them can no longer be safely de
layed. Republicans of Nebraska! unfvld
your starry banner and give it to the
winds. Friends of the press, sound the
ugle blast, that shall call to duty the
victors of many hard fought fields.

"If you want to make the ruin of a
child sure, give him liberty after dark.
ion cannot do anything nearer to insure
his damnation than to lcac him at lib
erty to go where he w ill without restraint.
After dark he w:!l be sure to set into
communication w th people that wll, un
dermine all his good qv.a.ittcs. 1 do not
like to speak to pa.cnts about their
children: but there are thousands who
think thir child cannot do wrong.
Their child will not lie, when his tongue
is Jike a bended bow; he will not drink,
when there is not a saloon within a mile
of his father's house where he is not as
well known as one of its own decanters ;
he never does iniquitous things, when lie
is recking in filth. Nineteen out of
every twenty allowed forfect ficedom at

nothing more important than for a child
to be at home at ijitht; or, it he is
abroad, you should be with h'.iu. If h?
is to see any sights or tak;s any plea r.rc,
there is nothing he should see that you
should not see with him. It is not
merely that the child should be broken
down, but there arc thoughts that nver
ought to find a pasa:e into a man's
brain. As an eel, if he wiiga'e acro-s
your carpet, will leave his sli:ne, which
no brushing can ever efface, so there art:
thoughts tliat never can be got rid of,
once permitted to cuter; and there are
individuals going around with obscene
books and pictures under the lappe's of
their coats. There are men h;re who
have heard a salacious song, and they
never will forget it. They wiil regret
having heard it to the ends of their lives.
I do not lelieve in a child's seeing lite,
as it is called, with its damnable lut
and wickedness, to have all his imagina
tion 6et on fire with the names of hell.
Nobody goes through this foe. but they
are bui ned, burned, burned; and tluy

FROM THE WEST !
A BUFFALO IICST.
Th Bine River fonnlry Settle
. ment, etc.
McFaiden, York Co.. Neb., )
July 6th, 1870. J
Editor Herald : Since our last we
have had a "gay old time." Our Buf
falo hunt was a perfect "success." Our
party returned heavily laden with deli
cious "hump and steak," after having
killed twenty buffaloes, several antelopes,
elks, etc. One of the party, Mr. Jacob
Haines, caught and brought home a air
of buffalo calves. By the way, Jake is
one of the best horsemen, best hunters,
and the v ry best fellow it has beeu our
fortune to fall in with, for nianj' a day.
We got the first "tongue," but Jake
beat the crowd in quantity. Persons
wi-hing to settle on the Little Blue will
always find Mr. Haines at Spring Ranch,
and ready to show and assist them in
finding good claims. We were sur
prised to see how the county along the
Little Blue has settled up in the lat six
months. La-t November there was not
a white person west of Kiowa. Now
there are hundreds of claims taken, and
many beautiful cabins along the river,
where may be found comely matrons and
sporting children, ami near which we
saw men busy turning the sod for next,
spring's seeding. From Spring Ranch
we followed the "Governor's trail" for
ten miles, then southwest, striking the
Republican river in range eleven west.
Hero we found a beautiful country. The
bottoms arc near five miles wide, very
rich, and well watered by springs and
numerous rivulets running in from the
j highland- norih and south of the river.
Tiiece small streams are generally well
timbered, a few miles back from the
river. The timber along the river is the
best I have seen in the State. It ia
from one-half to one mile in width, prin
cipally Cottonwood and elm, though there
are many other varieties. The country
between the Republican and the Little
Blue is broken and rough. It is well
adapted to grazing and fruit growing.
When Webster county is fully developed
it will probably compare well with any
other county in the State. The country
between the Little Blue and the West
Blue far surpasses anything I ever saw
in richness and beauty. The surface is
jrcntly undulating, rolling away in richest
verdure, until in the distance the cerulean
hills become blen.lcd with the azure blue
of heaven. This grand old prairie
thU "great American desert " (?) that
has lain unoccupied ever since time be
ran, is now being peopled. Fnergetic,
enterprising men men who are good
judges of good land, are almost daily
coming in, from the north, south and
east, and opening up farms. Very soon
th-se prolific old prairies will be teeming
with "golden grain and tasscled maize,"
and the "Harvest-home" will be sung
by many a "bonny laddie and merry
lass."
Mr. Ainswoi th's party of surveyors
are finding the best place for the B. &
M. R. R. to uncoil itself through to
Kearney. Judging from present re
ports, and appearances, the road will run
south of West Blue river, crossing near
the h?a.I of School Creek, west to Kear-
' J
We are having a long dry spell. We
have not had rain enough for the past
four weeks to lay the dust; yet grain
doc not appear to be suffering much,
and corn never grew faster than it has
here for tho past month. Grass will be
short, hay scarce and hard to get.
About 500 people of York and Fill

McFadden. The speaking and music
were good ; collation was delicious and

A Xew Disease.

running from the Bridge to the River

To account for the late advance in the
price of grain, the Eastern press hints
vi iy mysteriously, that I ranee and Ger
many are laying in a supply of all they
can buy, and lhat something is likely to
happen. On the surface, aifairs in Eu
rope look as placid as a quiet lake- but
war always foreshadows itself in ?oinc
way. The real explanation doubtless is,
that the sever0 drought prevailing on
tliis ide, extends over a part of Euiojkj,
and then! is danger of a short crop.
Tbis ;o:ution looks more reasonable than
the theory of anticipated hostilities.
