We cannot publish the entire expose, but
only give the Times summary of what it
claims to have proved, and ak our read

the cheek of every American with the
blush of shame to know that we have in
this free land of our3 the uint corrupt
municipal government in the world, a
g07ernment of rogues, who are, too, the
tiead an 1 heart of the great democratic
p irfy of the nation, and who carry the
great State of New Voik because of the
large majority they arc enabled to throw
in the city:
"We published on the 8:h inst. a li-t
of lofts that had been rented by the
City authorities as armories for the Na

Tlie Ken Asylum Ituildinff.
From the architect, Mr. L. W. Foster,
of Des Moines, Iowa, who has under in
struction of Superintendent Lardi pre
pared plans ond specifications for the
new Lunatic Asylum building, we ob
tain the following details:
The building will be erected upon the
site of the edifice destroyed by tire last
spring, hituated on an elevation over
looking our city, and a larije extent of
country, on the west side of Salt Creek.
The central building, which is four
stories and a Mansard loof, making live
stoiies in height, including basement, is
4S by 60 feet, ihe roof being "double
Mansard." In it will be located the of
fi :es, and family rooms of the Superin
tendent and his associates. On either
side of the central building piojects a
wing, three stories and a lasemcut in
height, 22 by GO feet, containing each a
distinct keepers' room and dining room
for each ward.
From these wings we enter second
wings on each side of th? same number
of stories, each containing forty-five pa
tients' rooms. There are four distinct
flithts of stairs from basemeut to top of
the building, all of iron, and all leading
into keepers' rooms. Each ward aud
wing is distract and separate, connected
by heavy iron doors, so that there can be
no ingress or egress except by the stair
way in the keepers' rooms. The parti
tions are a 1 brick anl iron, fire proof.
A single iron door connects the central
building with the wings.
There are seven different wards with
thirteen rooms in each, together with a
keeper's room. The building is well
ventilated by tho Kuttan svstetn. witn
hot and cold water throughout. It will
be warmed with steam apparatus.
The phctograph of the building to be
sreo at tl e rooms of D. A. Kline, and at
the Jtmrnul office, will only give a gen-e-al
idea of the exterior, as it was taken
from the firt rough sketch The pro
portions of the plans have been consid
erably modified from the skct-h,'making
the bui!din far more shapely md per
fect in an architectural point'of view.
The order of its architecture is the
modern Italian.
The outer walls are to be constructed
of limestone of two shades of color
The yellowish white will be used for the
ordinary addar and tho beautiful blue
tinted for caps, sills and other trimmings.
The cor nit es are of iron, the windows
all proteoted by iron fittings, and tha
roof covered ntlrlj with Rlafcv
The rortrfrt bcet to ft t by
Commissioners will extend otdy to the
centre and one series of wing contain-
ing all the necessary offices aud 45 pa
tient rooms.
If practicable with the money on hand
the foundations of the other wing will
be put in, as it cannot be long before it
will be necessary to erect the additional
45 rooms for patients, thete being now
55 inmates. Also it is contemrlated, if
possible, to put in iron ceilings in the
wing, which can done at an addi
tional expense of $8,000 for each wing.
Mr. Foster has made a good job of
these plans and specifications. I f e is well
known to our citizons as the architect of
the Pe n i ten t i a ry . J urn a T.

Mr. II. W. S. Clevela nd, at the in
stance of the B. & M. B. 11., has been
examining the nurseries along the line of
the Kansas Pacific Railroad, of which
only three have been begun, at stations
respectfully 239, 3t)2, aud 422 miles west
of Kansas City. The last named is uear
the western line of that State, about
JSO miles further west thin the western
extremity of the B. & M. iu Nebraska,

bidding than any through which the
road passes. As these nurseries in Kan
sas were only begun last year, the expp
rience has hardly been sufficient for defi
nite and reliable data; though Mr. Cleve
land is of opinion that thev havealreadv
rdemonstrated the practicability of cover
ing tne now treeless plains with thrifty
groves, and ultimately with forests The
trees that have thrived best are the
Black Walnut, Box Elder, Osage Or
ange and Elm. Th willow had grown
vigorously, but was badTy injured by
prairie dogs. Soft Maple stows we 1,
but its foliaue is injured by the winds.
Cottonwood does better. The Tulip
Chestnut, European Sycamore and La ch
were almost a total failure. Of Ever
greens, Scotch and White Pine were do
ing best.
Mr. Cleveland is sati fied after havinir
traversed the plains of Nebraska ove
which the B. & M. passes and visited
tlie points named on the Kansas Pa
cific and carefully examined the nurser
ies there, that the B. & M. couipany will
not find it at all difficult to grow trees
successfully along the western portion of
their lino in Nebraska, and that such
nurseries properly planted and tended
will prove a source of co inconsiderable
profit. The hardier varieties ot tr;es
that c-iin be prown without trouble will
afford protection fr the less hardy, in
cluding fruit trees, and ultimately the
giovcs. and increase the moist ure an 1
solve the question of the cultivation of
the plains without artificial irrigation.
The enterprise and pubi c spirit, together
with their interests, will had the' B. &
M. company to test the matter on a
larger scale, and with stie-h intelligence
and persistence as to warrant success j

If Brownville, Nebraska City o:
Plattsinouth want the Trunk Bailroad up
thu Missouri river they can now have it
by doiug their duty. For Nebraska City
ever to suppose that they will have the
Atchison and Nebiaska railroad luutiinir
to that town is simply ridiculous and ab
surd. The Atchisou and Nebraska road
will run west from Beatrice whn it
reaches there, and the folks at Nebraska
City must not suppose that managers of
that road will run square back an al
most paraiLl line after they reach Beat
rice, jut for the sake of taking it in.
But while the efforts in that direction
are all futile, the the Nebraska City
people may by the co-operation of river
towns and counties, with their own as
sistance, soon have a railroad running
through its town far more important
than if the Atchison and Nebraska road
should pass through it. Wc learn from
good authoiify that the Trunk road will
commence work on its extension up the
river as soon as the towns along th Jpro
pOs?d line take enough interest in its
constru tion to vote a proper subsidy in
cunty bonds. This every town aloni
tne wno:e nver can we!! atlord to do.
If tewns that lay back from the river are
opposed to such subsidy, let the towus
on the river vote them. It luaj' come
severe on them for the present, but who
doubts the vast increase of wealth by
the building of such a road, or how it
would soon double the value of every
man s property along the line. RvJo

"Voting America.
This is a national phrase we all like,
however much wo may openly deprecate
it at le ist, if we do not like the phrase,
we arc in love with the idea it suggests
a restless, persistent pushing nhead
under all circumstan es, and in spite of
all discouragements. What, indeed,
ould this country have been without
this riever-say-die spirit, which animated
its pioneers and has descended, with n
abatement, to their children and child
ren's children ? These may be danjrer
in its too ardent out-growth, hut there is
more in its suppression, if indeed, it can
be suppressed.
Temper MnU Health.
flood teo.er with many people is de
pendent upon tjood health ; pood health
upon jzood dicestion ; good digestion
upon wholesome, well prepared food,
eaten in peace and pleasantness. I I
cooked. untidy meal, are as great a
cause for bad temper as many a moral
wrong; and a person of sensitive phis

the sweet, fresh air and sunshine are de
terminedly shut out, and the foul air as
determinedly shut in.
The famine in Persia is making tcrri
ble ravages in the central and southern
provinces. Driven by the fierce paries
of hunger, the people are said to be
killing and eating each other, and even
dragging corpses from their graves. j
Some are trying to subsist on m-as.. and '
are selling their children into slavery to
save them The bodies of those who
drop dead in the streets, lie in the bleach
ing sun unhurried, and breediug pesti
lence. It does not appear, accoidini; to
the India press, that the Shah is making
any efforts for the relief of his suffering
subjects. A few rupees have been con
tributed in India, which is apparently
all that has been done to save them from
starvation. The neighboring people
who could most readily extend aid, op
pear to have few of the impulses of hu
mauity.
J. II. Austin, Esq., one of the well-to-do
farmers of the south part of Cas,
was in the city to-day. We remember
the time when it was not prosperous
with friend Austin neither did th ed
itor of Herald boast of uiuch "filthy
lucre" at that time but hard work and
economy will "tell," and Austin de
serves the success, he has met with,
Constant reading of the Herald for
these years past may have been of pecu

PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, AUGUST Ih IS71.
I Last winter Mr. Jas. P. Joy proposed
t0 complete the Trunk road to Plaits-
mouth by the coming fall if certain aid
was extended. A portion of our people
said he would build the road cnyway,
and wouid do it just as quick without
aid as with it. It is now nearly Fall,
and we fail to see any move toward a
road yet. Will some man be so good is
to tell Ui just when we are to gat it.

his liquors sold in that place, and re
questing him to find some more congeni
al place. He was at first inclined to stay
regardless of their desires, but a second
iavitation to decamp produced the de
sired effect, and he entered into a writ-
ten agreement that none of his liquors

hope this report iu regard to Judge
Thomas may prove incorrect.

I know not, indeed, a more beautiful
spectacle in the world, thau an old man
who has gone, with honvr, through all
its storms and conquests, and who ret tins
to the last, the fieslmess of feeling that
adorned his youth. Ibis is the true,
green, old age ; this makes a southern
winter of declining years, in v.dveh the
sunlight warms, though the hearts have
vonc. Such are ever welcome to the
youngand sympathy unites, while wis
dom guides. There is this distinction
between respect ami veneration; the
latter has always in it something of love.
Bultcer I.ytton.
Oood Counirl.
No young man can hope to rise in so
ciery, or perform worthily his part in
life, without a fiir moral character.
f he basis tf such a character is a virtu
ous fixed sense f moial obligation, sus
tained and inviforatcd bv the fear and
love of God. The youth who possesses
such a character cjn be trusted. Integ
rify, justice, benevolence truth, are not
with him words without lut aning; he feels
and knows their sacred import and aims
in the tefor of his life to exemplify the
vittues the." express. Such a man ha
d 'ci.-ion of character ; he knows what i
iuht and is fnu in pursuing it; he
thinks and act fo himself, and is not
to be made the t )1 of unprincipled and
time-serving politicians to do thediity
woik of party. S.uh a man has true
worth of character ; his life is a blessing
to himself, !o his family, to society, and
to the world; and he is pointed out to
luture generations as a proper example
for the rising youth to cmu'alc.
Strong Emotion.
Strong emotion expresses itself in the
body as well as the face, and in every
masterpiece the whole human form is
made to speak, the hands and feet are
eloquent. Manhool and womanhood
in hoiiis of exu tat ion will flow to the
outskirts of their kingdom, and imbue
every attitude and gesture with signifi
cance and power.
Have you not sometimes, Jn listening
to sweet sounds, had such conceptions ol
love, and truth, and joy, as no earthly
experience ever brought you, and such
suggestions of the boundlessness of your
beii!r as almost overpowered your weak,
bodily fife? Do not regard them as fan
cifu!, memcntaiy effects. No faintest
idea of power, or beauty, or affection,
beyond thut of earth, ever crosses the
mind, but it has its reality in the life be
yond. So take courage, heart ! This i.
one of God's ways of teaching thee, and
these things shall begin to be verities
when thou shalt "see Him as He is."

We frequently hear of business men
making the remark that they do not see
why it is that the papers make so many
more favorable notices of some of the
other business men of the city thau they
do of us. The tuyslery is easily solved
Business is reciprocal. If a mangoes
to New York or Chicago to get his job
work don.?, he need not grumble if the
pajers should say to the people, if you
want anything thnt mnn ht, no to New
Yoik or Chicago to get it Or. if they
g'i to other places to get their job work
done, and take up with evcty humbug
to advertise their wares, they mu-t not
feel giivtd if i hey are told to go to
those places to have a friendly notice
made.
The-c ar the legitimate and natural
relations of trade. We are disposed to
talk friendly of thosa who encourage us
in our usiiness. This is so the world
over. If a person takes no interest in
you, or your bu-i:ies, you will feel the
same toward him. Tne i ress is a nower

prvno'ing the erencral interests of the

We see j.triodically in the papers ab
stracts of will of deceased persons who
have left more or less of the good things
of life behind them, in the shape of
worldly riches ; and the mouths ot seme
of us have possibly sometimes watered
that we had not a place in the corner of
some of the said will.-,. But the most
curious will we remember to have read
of is one made by one of t he inhabitants
of MonfgaiL'ard, who died in 1$22. His
last will and testament was as follows:
It is my will that any one of my rela
tions who shall presume to shed teara at
my funeral shall be disinherited. He,
on the other hand, who laughs the most
heartily, shall be sole heir. I order that
neither the church nor my h -arse shall
bo hung with cloth ; but that, on the
day of my burial, the hearse and church
shall be decorated with flowers and preen
bouchf. Instead of the tolliu of bells,
I wid have drums, fiddles, and fifes.
All the musicians of .Montillard and
its environs shall attend the funeral.
Fifty of them shall open the procession
with hunting tunes, waltzes and uinutse.'
We should think this fuucral was what
Artemas Ward would have called a "gay
and festive" cue.

Tb.e. fish in Holland are asserted jto
be noticeably superior in quality to those
found in mo,t countries. Tlie Dutch
account for this by saying that they take
llama i Km me nsii us soon as they are
taken from the waier, while the common
practice is t- let them struggle and gasp
till life is extinct. By killing them at
once ine nen does not soften, but re
tains its compactness, and possesses a
superior flavor to those that die in the
usual way. The method of killing them
is to take a sharp knife and make a longi
tudinal sdit under the tail, an operation
quickly performed, and effective in pre
venting that flabbiness common to fish
suffered to struggle and die by exhaust
ion. A Hartford man was taken sick a few
days ao His physician said it was a
ca-e of measles, and gave him medicine.
The next day, dissatisfied, he sent for
doctor number two. He said it was ty
phoid fever, and gave him medicine.- -The
third day, still discontented, he call
ed doctor number three. He senr. him
to the hospital, declaring it was a case of
small pox. In three days he was ou-,
hunting for a lawyer who would bring
emu iur uam iges against somebody, be-cau-e
it was only an attack of erysipelas.
