The Lincoln Journal thinks that the
toup tie etat by which Vining expects
to euchre the Iowa IX. R. Pool, will in
ure to the benefit of the B. & M. on ac
count of its connection atPlattsmouth.
Let it inure.
The Beatrice Express wants a "rest"
on the oldest paper in Nebraska and
thinks if the News and Advertiser
would drop their age it would leave
room for more news on other matters.
It's hard to please every one, even
. 'other editors, aint it now?
Farmer Hobson, of Cass County, lias
been sending his apples about lively.
lately. We have observed notices of
Ihem in a good many of our exchang
es. By a process of his own be saves
fall and winter apples until in June,
Sound as a nut. The Grange ought to
patent that.
A Boston man was cursing an editor
the other day when he fell dead. Sim
ilar instances have len reported
lately. Men should be careful in
shaking of anything sacred.
If this thing should prove general,
some folks in Plattsmouth had better
go slow.
The Lincoln BUde seems to take ex
ceptions to our remarks about it and
the Journal. In what connection the
gentlemanliness of the proprietors of
the Journal comes in with regard to
our remarks we fail to see. We did
not say they were not gentlemen, nor,
in fact, allude to them. Which way
did you get up that morning, Caffrey?
The New York Sun in some com
ments on the Iowa-Nebraska railroad
muddle uses the terms "paying Iowa,
and repudiating Nebraska, at which
the Omaha Republican grows justly
indignant, and asks the Sun to show
an instance where Nebraska ever re
pudiated a dollar. It then hopes that
the Sun will "do justice and make the
amende honorable to Nebraska."
Great Moses! did you ever know the
Sun to do justice to any one, or ever
make an honorable correction.
COUSTY BRIDGES.
For a long while the farmers and
people of Cass County have complain
ed of their bridges. Good roads and
good bridges almost make a poor
country fit to live in, and bad roads
with worse bridges spoils the comfort
Of a residence in an otherwise rich and
handsome county.
Our Commissioners have gone to
work at last and taken this bridge
matter fairly in hand determined that
Cass County shall be second to none in
in the state in this respect. Mr. M. L..
White, one the Commissioners went
East not long since and contracted for
a number ef car-loads of the very best
timber for bridging to be found in the
market. The posts and supports are
white oak from the forests of Indiana
and they are to be covered with an
anti-decay preparation that will make
them last for 25 or 30 years any way.
As we understand the matter the
Commissioners propose to build a few
bridges under their own supervision as
samples, and others as needed will be
let by contract. The ordinary County
bridge lasts just about five years, with
a good deal of fixing meanwhile. These
bridges are built to last twenty-five at
least This is a good move if carried
out thoroughly. Now go ahead Messrs
Commissioners and let us see what you
can do.
The currency question again.
From a conversation with a good old
farmer of Cass, we have received a no
tion that be, and perhaps some others,
mistake our position on . the currency
question. Because we have taken a
clear, plain stand against inflation, it
does not follow that we wish to con
tract our present volume of currency
at all. We have never argued any
thing of that kind, neither do we think
& return to specie payment now, arbi
trarily, advisable. It certainly strikes
us that this country needs rest more
than anything else. If our wise legis
lators would just let the currency
Question alone entirely, we would
flo well enough. We need neither ex
pansion or contraction, but simple
test, and a definite status. The
business of the country will right it
self, is righting itself, just as fast as it
can'. When Congress ' adjourns and
capital knows that it is safe for awhile,
at least, from legislative foolery mon
ey will become- plentier. There is
enough, of it somewhere, and just for
this reason, we don't wish to water any
that we have.
The simple making of more money
at Washington.' could not ,help the
West nor bring greenbacks but here.
We want to impress this on the minds
at our readers. We did hear one man
say, "Government ought toJssue.more
money, and gire it to tha-Vestr It
would be idle to argue with such a man,
but unless government should really
literally do that, give us the currency,
we could not get more than we have,
were millions issued to-morronf We
must work, raise something, sell some
thing, and keep our money home to get
money. There is no royal road to
wealth, nor to the makingof money.
Money's not wealth; labor is the only
teai wealth of a land, the fact that
every man can get oaehr for everything
he raises; produces or sends away,
shows that there is money enough in
the country somewhere, to do the busi
iie js" o the country ,
THE COAL FIELDS OF CASS CO.
One bright and pleasant day last
week, jnst before the late showers,
calvacade of gentlemen, no ladies this
time, might hate been seen
slowly gathering together on Main
street in the town of Plattsmouth.
- At least they might have been seen
by any one who got up early enougl:
and looked long enough. First came
lawyer Smith and his ponies accompa
nied by the great Professor and State
Geologist, Mr. Aughe, then the hand
some greys of Sheriff Cutler darkened
the avenue, and last, but not least by
any means, came Mickelwait with
huge carriage and spanking pair of
blacks.
What means all this hubbub? asks
a quiet citizen. It means coal. It
means mines. It means fire, light,
railroads, and various other things that
follow in the wake of coal fields. That
morning it meant mostly having a good
time. Each wagon was loaded with a
jolly party, and all the town that was
awake gave them a jolly send off.
Twelve or fourteen miles down the
river, somewhere in below Hagoods
lies the coal district, and in due season
our adventurers and scientists arrived
on the spot. The Herald man not
being one of the party can only tell
what they done from hearsay, and
said report vouches that the Professor
gave some of the party a good tramp
up and down the hills. When they
reached the shaft which is about forty
feet down, VanArman (who of course
was along) thought he would go down.
MacDonagh, of the Watchman, threw
a lot of matches and sulphur in the
mouth of the pit, and Van thinking
that his time had come, or that he was
too close to homecrambled up the lad
der in double-quick time. A number
of the party then went down the open
ing, and prospected in every direction,
breaking off chunks and bringing up
specimens.
The Prof, reports a good vein of 16
inch coal at this place, and the pros
pect of it's getting thicker as it is
worked further in. They have already
figured out several millions of bushels
to the mile, and as the prospect is
that coal will be found at other points
near this, Cass County seems to have
settled the fuel question, for this end
of the State anyway.
The benefit to the whole country,
should these coal fields turn out as well
as they indicate, can hardly be comput
ed. We have not an analysis of the
coal yet, but understand a full report
will be made by Prof. Aughey, at an
early day.
COMMENTS ON "COMMENTS."
Open Letter to Mrs. Spnrlock & Co.
.ladies: l am sorry to see that my
Proclamation concerned you so inti
mately as to cause you to rush into
print with your comments on it. I re
gret that these Ladies of whom Mrs.
Spurlock is the mouthpiece, have had
their dear corns pinched by the shoes
of intemperance, and resulting impe
cuniosity. It was my advocacy of the
cause of temperance, and a heartfelt
desire to aid the good ladies in the
work of reformation, that prompted
me to issue my proclamation, forbid
ding Drunkards, Idiots, Indians, Min
ors, etc.; and urging men who had a
limited amount of stamps, to take it
home to their families, and stay there
themselves. I am sorry these hints
did not suit Mrs. S., and the rest of the
crusaders. It is not necessary for me
to quote Scripture, History, high Med
ical authority, and legions of Clergy
men of the different denominations,
on the salutary effects of pure liqaors,
wines, ale, beer and cigars, taken in
moderation. I could fill several papers
with the different extracts. I am as
muchopposed to intemperance in drink
ing, as 1 am to intemperance in eating,
in ladies' dress, and windy language.
The comments were decidedly intem
perate and windy, and the machine
needs a safety-valve.
Mrs. S. abuses me for excluding pau
pers and loafers from my Billiard Hall.
It is not any more than she and her
company do in their Churches every
Sabbath. How these fastidious ladies
would turn up their pretty noses with
an eloquent sneer, if a ragged, penni
less man or woman dared to invade
their pew, or even the Church itself;
how she would gather her water-proof
robes, or other finery around her, for
fear of contamination. I do not allow
my patrons to become intoxicated on
liquor which I keep purel while
preachers intoxicate their rotaries on
impure religion, like the blind leading
the blind. Here is a specimen of the
Christianity Mrs. S. & Co. are taught:
Mrs. S. says. "Would that every saloon
sold only to the drunkard and depraved
It would be the bright morning star
of hope. The great evil would soon be
over past, for the most sanguine dares
hardly hope to save the drunkard ; "O,
if the saloonists would only lead the
scarred and mangled on to death, we
would soon cover up the slain, etc
Now I look on these abominable apos
trophes as the demoniac aspirations of
depraved hearts, fed by adulterated re
ligion dragging souls down to the un
quenchable fire, where such malignity
and uncharitableness are fostered.
"Saith the Lord: though your sins
be as scarlet, they shall be as white as
snow." Isa. 1, 18. Christ said: "I am
not come to call the righteous, but sin
ners to repentance. Matt. IX, 13;
Mark II. 17 ; Luke V, 33. Consult also
Luke XIII, 7, and while Mrs. S. and
her party are comparing what they've
been taught, with what Christ taught,
I will prepare some facts that may con
demn some of them more emphatically-
The truth is, these ladies are not
much troubled about Christianity. Be
ing a little fltulent, they like sensa
tion, display, tomfoolery, and a little
cheap notriety, with which I will be
painfully gratified to accommodate
some of them, if they desire it. Yours
for Temperance and no credit given.

Garfield on Editors.
With such exquisite grace has Gen.
Garfield painted the picture of the ed
itor who sits in his country office that
yield in despair. That editor is nev
er hurried ; he forms no hasty opinions ;
he waits until he has consulted the
county, and then, at the end of the
week, passes his opinion upon the doings
of Monday, and rests. Laughter. Just
as the grangers keep my friend from
Illinois (Mr. Cannon) in awe, just so
do I tremble before the editors of the
county. As the grangers received
from him love mingled with awe, so
do these editors receive from me pecu-
iar tokens of respectful consideration.
nd do they not deserve them ? They
have a hard, nam time, and through it
all are faithful and true to the hum
blest of their representees. When
you are in your chair, Mr. Speaker, and
am at my desk in the sleepy Hollow
at your left, your eye I never catch,
catch the eye of my country editor
every time. Great laughter. If I go
down stairs, to make myself clean at
my country's expense, or go down to
strengthen myself by eating a few
oysters at my own expense, and a ma
levolent member on the other side of
the House calls for the yeas and navs
during my absence, he sees me, and re
cords the fact that I dodged. Great
Laughter. If it should happen,
through some mistake, that I do catch
the Speaker's eye, or some gentleman
yields me thirty minutes of his time,
you, Mr. Speaker, do not listen to me ;
few of my fellow members in this
House listen to me, but I am strength
ened by the thought that I am talking
away beyond you and beyond them for
the constituency which I have tte
honor so imperfectly to represent, and
that, as the watch-dog of his constitu
ency, the country editor listens to me,
that he hears every word, and that as
it pleases or displeases him it will ei
ther mas or mak me. Laughter.
She Came.
.The following sad and melancholy
lines will be appreciated around many
a sorrowful hearthstone:
The train that brought his wife came down.
And then went sweeping on ;
But. woe to him t bis wife had brought
Ills mother-in-law along.
He lived, for life may well be borne
Ere sorrow breaks its chain.
But this last streak Just settled him
He never smiled again.
THE FOREMOS T TONI C OF THE
AGE.
Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchers, the history of its cures and its im
meitwe annual sales, Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters may be farily entitled the Foremost Tonic
of the Age. it is not only a tonic but a consti
tutional and local alterative, and its tendency
is to substitute healthy lor diseased action
throughout the system. If the stomach is
feeble and torpid it produces avitaliziug Im
pression upon its mucous tissues. No sooner
has the dyspeptic swallowed a dose of it
than he knows by his sensations that his stom
ach hits received an accession of vigor. It in
creases the desire for food and the ability to
digest and assimilate it. If the liver is dereliei,
it improves lhe condition of the organ and
imparts to it a newand healthful impulse. The
bowels being obstructed it promotes the flow
of bile into the intestinal canal and thereby
relieves mem aim re-esiauisnes mcir natural
action, its enect upon me Drain, tne nerves
and kidneys is equally salutary. In short. It
tones, alters anu regulates tne wnoie system.

Two American Magazines.
Theexcellence of American Magazines has
become so well recognized abroad, that one f
the leading English Papers, the Iondon Weekly
tmowii r, in a recent issue, tuus speaKs oi zcro
ner Mtnithlu :
II are conxtrained to own that
HOXTHLY carries off the jvrize against all our
'hilling monthly serials for briUianeu of iUu.it ra

derful ahilling' tcorth. Notliing can lie more

Vm light and uluuie are managed with a trulu ar
tistic ixiwtr. Out of iU one and twenty original
articles, we really do wtt know whielt to choose a
bsl. tor each, atui all are excllent."
Not onlv is it true that Scrihners Monthly ex
cels the English Magazines, but it is "the best
ol tue American Monthlies.
In the exteuc, variety and artistic excellence
of its illustration of America themes, it has
never been even approached, much less excelled.
It has a larger page and gives a greater variety
in contents than any other of the Standard
American Monthlies.
In literary character, and in the brilliancy
and ability of its Editorial Departments, it eu
iovs an etiual Dre-eminence.
Its conductors started with the definite aim of
making it the itent magazine- in tlie world, of
which they have never lor a moment lost sight,
and they point with pride and pleasure to the
May and June numbers recently issued, and
ask for them a candid examination and a care
ful comparison of their merits witli those of
other inairazines : and they renew their pledge
to the public, to strive for still higher excellence
in the future.
A considerable demand has recently arisen in
England for iff. Xieholas, Scriinwr's Jew Marja-

to secure an edition oi tnree uiousanu ot tne

The success of St. Xichola in thH country has
been even more remarkable than that of Serih-

ideally icrfect Magazine for cmi-lren," ami. as
is tae case with all the best literature for grown

The intluance of the periodicals of the dav
