PLATl SMOUTH NEBRAXSA.. THURSDAY, NOVKMBlCR 9 1S71. The Tecuui?ch Chieftain copies the glorification of the Omaha Herald over the defeat of the Republican ticket in Nemaha County, and the credit (?) it gives Col. Majors for bringing about said result, and sums ifup as follows: The OoL deserves that puff. That' -an excellent, truthful puff. The Colonel worked hard for uch a compliment from puch a source. The reward of trcuchery. The Miue paper compliments and de fends Jeff Davit, also, for his treaaon. The Col. has the same credit with both parties in Nemaha. The same party that curses Jeff curses the Col., and the same party that sympathises with old rebel Jeff to-day sympathises with the Col. "This sounds strange, and it is strange," but it is a fact nevertheless. The Col. 'a laurals, his g!ory, are rtnmifi takeable and none to envy him them. Chairman of his party organization, he improved the opportunity to betray it into the hands of the enemv. How much shall it profit a man if he sell his i own party ami kmc hi- own head by it. The Col. holds the office of revenue Assessor for Nebraska by virtue of his professed Republicanism. Uk.MK TEST. At various times during the past ix mouths we have endeavored to attract the attention of the Omaha Herald to the enormous Salt Land Steal attempt ed by J.Sterling Morton it Co., but were never able to produee even a grunt from that usually noisy sheet. The trial came off this week at Lincoln, and the Herald was driven to open its mouth and say something after its particular friend was beaten on the very points cited by us, and by the evidence of the witnet-s which we had called up. We clip the following from an article in the Herald on the subject of the trial: "The lands it) dispute were entered at Nebraska City by the party from whom plaintiffs claim title in 159. Patents were issued for them, but recalled and cancelled, some two or three years after wards, upon a decfiaiorj by the Land De partment that saline lands were reserved from sale under an Act of Concrem of 1 B54j concerning public lands id New Mexico, Kan-as and Nebraska. The right to make this cancellation was the question involved." "All imputed fraud on the part of those connectad with the entry was disapproved- The lands were regularly platted, and offered at public sale, and afterwards entered in the usual manner. The validity of the entry will be finally determined only in the court of last re sort, and upou purely legal questions." The above is about the lamest thing we have ever seen in the Herald. When it asserts that "the lands in dispute were entered at Nebraska Iry the parti from whom plaintiffs claim title in l-5'.t," it shows one of two things, that it is not posted, else it states what it kcowsto le incorrect, either one showing its lameness in defense of its pet scheme (for we are led to believe, from the former course of the Herald, that its voice was hushed inconsequence oT some financial interest in the matter. ) If we are correctly informed, Mr. Prey, the man of whom Martin ft Co. claimed title, swore that he did not enter the lend, never sold it to Morton & Co., and in substance, that the entry must have been a fraud, as his name was u.-c-il without his knowledge or consent, and that these champion stealers did not even have the manliness to pay him a cent for having fraudulently used his name in BO rascally a manner. Again the Herald "puts its foot into it" when it says, "Ail imputed fraud on the part of those connected with the entry was disapproved." On the contrary, every fact developed shews even greater anil more damaging frauds than were ever before known to the public. Morton attempts to excuse himself for having used the name of Mr. Prey in making the entry by insinuating that he feared to trust Hopkins, Blade, Calhoun, and others interested with him in the Steal, and had the entrys made in Prey's name so that he could control Prey's action, and thus, probably swindle his co-workers in iniquity, if he thought best so to do. We ask the Herald to say, without equivocation, whether or no it thinks it indicates fraud to enter lands in the name of another, without the knowledge or consent of the man in whose name the entry is made and that, too, by a man who says he knew the lauds were Saline, and that they cere not properly in market? Morton is not the man to do this kind of work without a cause, and he is not the kind of a man that can come before the people of this State and plead that he was ignorant of any of the facts in the case, even to the fact that the lands were returned by the deputy Surveyor as valuable Saline Lands, whieh record yet stands out in bold relief in the Surveyor General's office in this city, the transcript of which must have been destroyed by Morton and his con feras, else the entry could never have been made at all, even in the name of Mr. Prey.

The triul which came off at Lincoln! this we k involving the title of valuable i u i i . -mm Saline Lands was instituted by Morton : to eject Green and Smith leases, under the State. The State as landlord, came in as defendant, with G'een and Smith as tenants. The trial involved a com plete hearing of title, which shows even a worse state of affairs, and greater ras cality, than even the BwtnTJt baa shown or claimed. We understand the evi dence of Mr. Pray, In whose name the land was entered, was to the effect that he never entered the land, and knew noth ing of it until he was called upon by Morton ft Co. to transfer the title to them, which he did icithout considera tion. It was also from that Samuel Black (then either Judge or Governor, we do not remember which) was also an interested party, and that they all knew that the land was S:line, and conse quently they must have known that a fraud was being perpetrated by some ono, even if they do claim that it was not directly committed by them. The point which Morton fc Co. attempted to establish was that the Department had no right to cancel patents after they were once issued. Judjre Lake thought differently, and we presume his decision on this point was based upon the fact that the local land office was only an ageut, or a part of the General Govern ment, hence patents in the local land office had not yet issued from the Gov ernment, and that no title had yet pass ed from the Government to the pur chaser, and that the Department had the same control over papers in posses sion of this subordinate branch that it would have in the hands of any one of its clerks. It is believed that -Morton & Co. will carry the case up to the Su premo Court of the U. S., but we see no possibility of obtaining a reversal of Judge Lake's decision on this point. They do not seem to claim that the transaction was fair and without fraud, but they rest their case solely on the plea that the fraud had been sufficiently consummated to hold good. THE TKOI MLE JtE.VJAIIA. V e have refrained from any special remark upon the result of the recent election in Nemaha, in the hope that something would transpire to contradict the report that the Republican ticket was defeated, to a great extent, through the efforts of Col. T. J. Majors. We were slow to believe this, and yet we are forced to do so. Believing it firmly we are not slow to condemn it, especially as it was under peculiar circum stances. Col. Majors was Chairman of the Republican County Committee, which called the nominating convention or rather the primary election, for this is what was held and he was also a member of the Republican State Central Committee. Aside from these two honorable posi tions in the party which he has as-i-te 1 to defeat, he held a lucrative oiiioo at the hands of a Republican Administra tion, placed there because of his Repub licanism, and because of nothing else. Occupying these honorable and profita ble positions as a Republican, it would seem to us that the Col. could not have done less than to keep clear of the cam peigll entirely, if he did not wish to take an active part for the ticket nominated. But no, he seems to have taken an ac tive part against a portion of the ticket, and that opposition is accredited wiih being instrumental in defeating the en tire ticket. It is not charged by any one, so far as we have heard, that the candi dates whom he assisted to defeat were not good sound Republicans, or that they were not feirfy nominated by a majority vote of the Republicans. What object, then, could Col. Majors have had tu this defeat except to either gratify a personal hatred or to give the County over to the Democrats. We are curious I to know how the Col. can harmonize his actions with his professions of Republi canism. Or. perhaps, he does not m ike aay further pretentions to Republican ism t A H(!Brk;ibl(- it. lie. Among all the incidents of the great Chicago tire, we have read none more remarkable, or that seems more miracu lous, than the following related by the New York Tribune: Mr. W. D. Bancker has brought from Chicago a curious memorial of the great tire. Among the ruins of the Western News Company's establishment, where an immense stock of periodicals and books was reduced to ashes, there was found a siugle leaf of a quarto Bible, charred around the edges. It contained the first chapter of the Lamentations of Jeremiah, which opens with the follow ing words: "How doth the city sit soli tary that was lull of people ! how i she lrt - MA I " . uiuiu fs a wiuow i sue hw was great u... ..... ilhuii- tiivi t uieus.s; aiiiiur f v .1 - I . 1 I I 1 no provinces, now is sue tiecoiue tribu tary ! he weepeth foib in the night, and her tears are on her checks! among all her lovers she hath none to comfort her." And that was the only fragment of literature saved from tbe News Com pany's great depot. Flower Abont the Dead. If friends would but have the good taste to place a few simple flowers about the departed one, such as she or he was fond of in life, it would be verv fitting, but it is surely not in taste to overload the coffin with flowers representing an amount of money which would do miieh good to the poor. And then thp custom of exposing the face of the dead to the gaze of those making the tour of inspec tion, which is now almost universal in country churches, is to me another very unpleasant feature of funerals. We often read with interested' the burial rites of comparatively unknown nations, and arc orpnsod and amu-ed with their peculi arities. Would not ours, in their turn, present some features as curious, if rend Of by distant people? If persoual friends wish tott.ke a last look of a deceased friend, it is surely due to them to do so alone, without beinz fired nt l.v- o crowd.

Upon introducing himself to the redoubtable Fisk, and making known the object of his call, the pass Tva made out and banded to him. Just as lie r.-as turning to leave, Fin.'; said: "Oh, Mr. A , what is the length of your road?" and vhen -receiving the reply, "Kighteen or twenty miles." said, "Ah, if I had known that I would have given you a ch'cc for the road instead of a pass." Whereupon tbr Illinois railroad President suddenly vanished in the dis tance. Vole: Fr rum uiotisli t'liCrcta.

' Mack," of 'he Chicago Repufdican, is credited with the witty remark that the difference between Nero and Thomas' orchestra at Chicago, lies in the fact that "the former fiddled while Rome was burning, and the latter roamed while their tiddie.s were burning." At the fire at Little Sturgeon, Wis . fifty people rushed into a potato field to save themselves, and fortv-five were ! burned- It shows a lack of consideration and good sense to keep a caller waiting in a too often dark and cheerless parlor for ten or twenty minutes while you dress yourself elaborately. If possible, receive your visitors promptly, and in any dress you may happen to have on, provided it he neat. Moreover, parlors should always be supplied with books, pictures, or something attractive to callers, so that they need not sit in gloomy idleness if they are forced to wait for vou. The oldest representation of a plow is found en a statute of Osiris, an ESgyp tain deity, It is the trunk of a tree to whieh the cattle were yoked; a branch pointed at the end scratc thing the ground. In suite of all the modern improvements, similar plows are still used among the litnoraiit peasants of some Eurenean countries. It was an Irishman who wanted to find a place where there was no death, that he might go and end his days there. It was an Irish editor that exclaimed, when speaking of the wrongs of Ireland, "Her cup of misery has been for ages overflow ing, and is not yet full!" It was an Irih newspaper that said of RnheanWm that ''He left no children behind him except a brother, who was killed at the same time." It was an Irish coroner who, when asked, how he accounted for an extraordinary mortality in Limerick, replied, sadly, "'I can not tell. There are people flying this year that never died before." It was an Irish band bill that announced, with boundless liherali ty, in reference to a great political dem onstration in the Rotunda, that "Ladies without distinction of sex, would be welcome." Mark Twain tells the following; funny inciiJcnt: "Why, Captain, you appear to have a bad cold." "Yes, Madam," said the C'a tain, who is fond of working in tin- garden early in the morning, in bis shirt sleeves, ''I suppose I deserve it. I eaught it while break ttir tbc sev enth eouituaiidmcnt last Sunday." The party, male and female, started and looked blank, and the lady who brought out this reman said, as well as a chok ing fit would lot her: "Well, upon my word, eaptain, considering the circum stances of the ease, and your present surroundings, it. was hardly necessary for you to enter into such full particulars."

IMI1C llJUiT way through the shething of his integri California boasts that she has the larg est orchard in the world. It is located south of Yuba City, in Sutter County, and consists of over 400 acres. A nurs ery occu (lying a portion of this great area has 25,000 one year old peach trees, 16,000 plum trees, f,000 eastern wal nuts, -2 ooo apple trees, 500 Italian chest nut trees etc. The orchard proper 000 two year old peach trees, 3,000 cherry trees of fifteen different varieties; th n 2,500 plum trees in twelve varieties, and j00 apple. There are besides 5,200 aj rieot trees, which have born a good crop the present season. The whole is on a truly California scale, and it is hardly likely that there is any otner single en closure in the world containing a like number and variety of fruit trees. Mrs. Count Bi.marek is a iadv on the wron: side of sixty, and fresh and come ly withal, who, in the good old-fashion ed style. ha3 a bunch of keys hung to her girdle, and sitting in the drawing room or superintending the farm women at tl icir work, her knittiug-needles are always going, the result of the latter habit being seen till over the house iu knitted quilts and curtains, and like evi dences of her manual skill and house wifely activity. The following charaeteristic anecdote is related of John Ran;lolj h: He was engaged to a beautiful Virginia girl, but was one day seen to leave her father s residence in unusual agitation. It ap peared that the lady's father had nro- I posed that Mr. Randolph should settle a I'luritliiy IicM rsuts. No timber is better worth planting in fence-rows, kkohen yards, waste places, or in regular plantations than chestnut. For posts, rail, picket, stakes, or lumb er, no lumber is more salable, grows quicker, or realises a better proportion ate price. For shade, chestnut trees are excellent ; dense, spreading, and hand some in foliage. Once planted, they need no farther attention, and when cut down, reproduce themselves abundantly by means of sprouts. We have cut ! i cm Btnat sprouts that were long and j large enough for four round post:;, or six, j j when the two losrer ones were split, and one rail besides. At this a?e thev are i large enough to split into two heavy rails, worth now SUt to eight cents each in a timber country. We cannot just now think of any crop that would pay better than a few cases of thrifty chest nut sprouts. There is but one disadvan tage, which is, that chestnuts don't stand transplanting well. They should therefore be planted where tlioy urc tic sired to grow. Probably the best way to make a plantation is to plow the ground now, and mark out furrows six feet apart each way. and at the intersections drop three nuts; cultivate the ground one year then seed down to grass. The grass and the shade together will keep out weeds, and the ciose planting will cau-e the young trees to shoot up straight and lengthy In five years a good many rails can be cut out, leaving one tree at each place. In a few years ihe rdantation needs thinnintr a-'aiu, ind sprouts will, have taken the place of those tin t cut out. Hiarth and Home. Mrs. Sarah A. Cooke, the lady who recently brought suit against Brigham Young, and in whose favor a mixed jury composed of Mormons and Gentile.-. rendered a verdict for the full amouot of her claims yesterday, was, we gleau from the Davenport Gazette, a resident of Davenport in lS-lSand 1849. She was then a music teacher. Her husband was a book-keeper, lu 1849 they moved to Molioe, thence to Dububue, and in 1S51 they emigrated to California. They, however, wen; persuaded to remain in Salt Lake City, and were considered .Mormons in theory but not in practice. Mr. Cooke was subsequently elected Sheriff, and was killed while attempting to arre-t a criminal. The murderer was hung by an excited mob, and $10,000 in l : ... i l .t -.- i fi'i "as lai.-eu vy cue citizens lor trie i oenent oi Mr. Locke s family. It ap pears that thi- sum was deposited with Brigham i'ounjr for safe keeping. Brig ham represented that he had invested the money in real estate in Salt Lake City. A few years later Mrs. Cooke, while endeavoring to sell a portion of this property, discovered that the title w.-is in the Mormon church. Upon remonstratin:: about the injus t'ce done her, she was advised to say as little about it as possible. .Mrs. Cooke has, we learn, recently renounced Mor monism. It must be highly gratifying to all lovers of equity, that the time has arrived when human justice overrides the iniquitous decisions even in'doniini ons of a so-called Theocracy. Bee. forrect MpnkiUT. We would advise ail young people to acquire, in early life, the habit of correct speaking and writing; and to abandon, as early as possible, any use of sdaug words and phrases. The longer you live the more difficult the language will be; and if the golden age of youth, the proper season for the acquisition of lan guage, be passed in its abuse, the unfor tunate victim if neglected is, very prop erly, doomed to talk slang for life. Mon ey is not necessary to procure this edu cation. Every man has it in his power. IIe has merely to use the language which he reads, instead of the slang whieh he hears; to form his taste from the best of bpeakers and poets in the country; to treasure up choice phrases in las memory and habituate himself to their use, avoiding at thes.inie time that pudantic precision and bomba t whieh show the weakness of vain ambition rather than the polish of au educated mind.
