IHiLiDELPiilA, January 30.
The thermometer at various places in
the State this morning ranged from 22
to 34 degrees below zero, the coldest
weather in thirty years.
If company in misery helps any, we
congratulate ourselves, although living
ia Nebraska seems more preferable than
in any other place we read of. See ar
ticle on "cold weather."

was extremely direct, and clearly forti

and disclosures grow worse.

The Nebraka Teacher is on our table
for February, and we have read it clear

for a busy editor, and it ought to feel

they missed them. It was a good day
for spellers, too.
Tnc Institute and officials should try
not to leave the iiapicsMon that they are
mutual admiration Moieties, when they
meet, though. Forty votes of thanks
and well-timed compliments are are not
as good as one little act of common sense
to convince people that both parties
know their business.
Ts fimply a ring within a ring. The
Union Pacific Railroad being a fixed
fact, and its charter granted, with such
provisions that speculators could not
very well make enormous fortunes out of
if, some shrewd parties then farmed a
company to build the road ; said com
pany being mostly stockholders in the
U. P. alq. It was claimed that some
such company was needed in order to
obtain the vast funds needed for such an
enterprise. After it waj chartered and
got under way the Srst section of the
roal was let at the rate of $50, COO per
mile. It cost, probably, $20,000, or at
the out.-ide $2.r,000, and the difTcrer.cJ
of $25,000 or $30,000 went intp the
pickets of the Credit Mobiiier Company;
or the few itis'ihia, while the fifty thous
and dollars it was said to co.st, came cut
of the pockets of many, t. e. : the stock
holders aud owners of the U. P, stock.
Of course at this rate the road soon
needed aid and more help. Govern
ment was applied to, and having been
sufficiently dusted in the eyes, came
do'vn handsomely with more guarantees
and more bonus so that we all might
ride over to California on the "keers,"
a. id that's the Credit Mobiiier.
J here lias been quite a tempest m a

very fine horse. The animal fell through

while the horse by his side stood as if
comprehending the situation Hntd the
drowning animal was cut loose. No per
son witnessed the catastrophe except the
parties in the buggy. It was, indeed, a
narrow and most fortunate escape.
What renders it more remarkable is the
fact that until this occurrence heavily
loaded teams had been almost constantly

The real truth and the full reasons of
Horace Greeley's death are coming out
one by one, on the testimony in regard
to his making a will. If this testimony
is to be believed he was undoubtedly
crazy as early a3 the 12th or 15th of Oc
tober previous to the November elec
tions.
He took the fancy (mayhap too true
had he lived) that he had ruined the
Tribune aa J that his course was "wrong.
ad wrong. lie lancied himself ruined,
financially, and refused to ride in a car
riage to the depot becaase it cost so
much.
Sinclair, the publisher, seems to have
been ia some trouble and owed Greeley
money. At one time Mr. Greeley gave
A. Johnson (his fiiend) a letter to Reed,
n 1 ) 4T
ituuneu, A.uever was a demo
crat, never had anything to do with
Democrats, never wanted to be a Demo
crat and I am not a Democrat. I want
you to tell every one that on the curs,
all over."
. He continually cried that he was? ut
terly, uttcily ruined and the sight of a
strong man thus broken and reruors ful
must have been a pitiable sight indeed.
The jury on the Tweed case do not

At a Regular Communnication held
oa Monday, the 3rd of February, 1373,
the following resolutions were adopfed :
1st. Resolved, That a committee be
appointed to express tho sympathy of
the lodge to Brother Jaeb Yullery, Jus.
in his great bereavment at the tass of
his beloved daughter Louisa Mary.

In entering upon-this duty the com
mittee des!re to reassure our stricken
brother and his family that the tenderest
loving sympathy of every member of this
lodge is theirs, that their sorrows is ours,
and that in their affliction wo are afflict
ed. Yet the committee can but feel, that
all human S3-mpathy is weak compared
with that of the great sympathist, who
came "to bind up the broken hearted,"
That "Brother who wt.s born to adver
sity." That "Friend whosiicksth closer
than any brother."
We would there-fore most lovingly beg
of our frhnds, in the depth of their sor
row, to look to the "Man of Sorrow,"
wiio has shed His blood and laid down His
life for us all. "Greater love hath no man
than this, that a man lay down his life
fjr his friends." Who has assured us,
that through these earthly trials, the
angel of His presence shall sustain us,
and lead us to a rest eternal in the
Heavens, if in the fullness of resignation
we commit ourselves and ail our dispo
sals into His hands.
Therefore, while we pray that the he
reavmcut which they have sustained,
ma' lead our brother aud his family to
cleave more closely to 1 1 is Divine Friend,
while we sympathize with them iu their
lo.-s, we cannot forget the great blessings
which re main lo thtiuitixia aJ il m-ni
the high and holy responsibilities which
they involve.
A beloved daughter is gone but many

HON. JOHN TAFFE
Has mnda two speeches lately a vcry
sensible one on the treatment of Indi
ans and another on the admission of
Colorado in which he says very trufy
of the West and Nebraska :
I wish to remark, in reference to my
own State of Nebraska, that we liave
forty-rive thousand registered voters.
We cast about tweuty-eight thoiumd
votes : There was no real contest there.
We gave eleven thousand Republican
majority, which shows there could be no
interest to bring out the vote. We l ave
to-day fifty thousand voters. Wc have
doubled since the census. We lnve
eleven' railroads, and twelve hundred
miles of railroad in actual operation.
We raised la-t year the besi average
crop of any State or territory, in the
opinion of the Commissioner of Agri
culture. Therefore I say there is no
hazard in admitting this State, with
similar resources. Colorado is simply
alluded to cs a mining territory. It is
not od!v a inuung territory, but it has
vast resources besides. It is al.so a
great agricultural and stock raising coun
try. And he is decidedly severe and rather
sarcastic on " the gentleman from New
York" who bitterly opposed the admis
siou of the new Territory.
I will not dwell further upon the ob
jections tnado By the gtntleman from
New York Mr. E. II. Roberts 1. excent
to say that he claims to represent one of
the "body" States, as he chooses to call
them Pennsylvania and New York are
the body of the Union. The wings are
also described by the gentleman. It is,
to fray the least, a sorry bird which the
gentleman has given us, one with a
body and wings, leaving us to conjecture
what are the rest of the members and
usual appendages. New York and
1 ennsylvama are the body ; the gentle
man represents tho New York hemis
phere, and somebody else here I sup
pose represents the Pennsylvania hem
isphere of .the ponderous body of that
bird, one of whose wings is in New Eng
land and the other in the west. The
rest of the bird, th useful as well as the
ornamental, is left to conjecture.
We have no idea in this State of the
severity of the winter farther north.
We give below one sample among many
of suffering and death. Our exchanges
are full of the most pitiful tales of frcez
ing and exposure. No further North
for us, if 3 0U please :
A Terrible Eeath.
A. K. Jenkins, Fort Dodsre, perished
in the great storm of last week, between
Sibley, Minn., and Rock Rapids, Iowa.
He was well know at aterioo, at Fort i
Dodtre, and throughout all that section
of country, and is highly spoken of.
The Sioux City Journal gives the follow
ing account of his terrible death :
Mr. Barker, the mail-carrier between
Sibley and Sioux Falls, started out
from the former place at ten o'clock on
Tuesday morning, the 7th jnstant, hav
ing as a passenger, E. K. Jenkins, a
representative of the Ohio Bridge com
pany, and engaged in superinten Jing the
construction of on iron bridge in Lyon
county, who was bound for Little Rap
ids. Soon after the storm struck them,
when about thirteen miles from Sibley ;
they lost the road, and the horses were
soon floundering in a snow-drift. Baker
and Jenkins both got out and endeav
ored to get the hoises out of the drift,
but were unable to do so, and finally
doubly-blanketed the horses, leaving
them as comfortable as possible, and
themselves crawled back into the hack.
Their clothes were, cf course, wet and
cold from working iu the snow, and
must have soon frozen to their limbs,
despite their efforts to the contrary.
In this terrible condition, Baker and
Jenkins passed Tuesday night. When
morning came they found the tage
horses frozen dead. The storm had not
abated a whit, and, what was still worse,
there was no visible prospect of its do
ing so. No circumstances occurred of a
particularly notable character during
Wednesday to the storm-bound way
farers. I hey remained within the hack.
bundled up as warm as they could make
themselves suffering tho keen pans of
hunger, thir.t and cold, painfully anx
ious for the terrible storm to cease, and
well aware of the precarious situation
they were 111.
A newspaper of Iowa City gives rather
a discouraging account of what the farm
crs in tnose uig.ains are doing. er
rather not doing. Here is the Price Cor
rent : A pair of winter boots costs two
loads of potatoes : a night's lodging, a
load of oats ; the wife wears five acres of
wheat ; the children each ten acres of
corn ; the price of an overcoat is a good
four year old steer ; a Sunday suit,
twenty tut hogs.

from every quarter, at home or abroad,
as will interest the whole populatiou of
the Western State. They will endea
