MX CUM ROUS STANLEY.
To the ChicajoTim.es, Inter Ocean, Jfr.
Oretti and others, Take Notice :
The editor of this paper desires it
to be understood that he never kicked
Stanley, that Stanley never kicked him
or took his foot away or kicked behind
Jiim or in front of him. We don't
know Stanley. Our name is not Mac
Donagh. It is MacMurphy. We nev
er aspired to the name of "Little Mac."
We edit the Hkrald. "Little Mac"
(MaeDonagh) edits the Watchman.
We are no relation, our wives are no
relation; our children don't look alike;
our offices w a quarter of a mile
apart aa4 our house a mile. We don't
look alike; the Herald man is short
the Watcliman tall. We always talk
loud, he whwpet gently. We
are good-looking, he I a n't. We
have one eye, he has none; he U
Irish, we are German from Spain; he
is old and wrinkled, we are young and
fair; he uses good grammar always, we
never do; he is rich, we are poor; he ia
a Independent hit'er in the ribs anti
monop Democrat, and we are a Repub
lican; and lastly he kissed Stanley and
we didn't. We hate each other, we
fight every day. Please gentlemen
don't mix ua up any more. You see
above how we can't mix; besides if
Stanley should ever come home and get
on it (as Little Mac says he used to,) and
sne one should point us out as the
fellow that he kicked or that kicked
him, why we might get licked in earn
est, do you see.
Worth $10.
Take one part (by weight) resin, one
part beeswax, and four parts good fresh
or sound lard. Mix and melt together
over a slow fire, so as t be ura not to
burn the mixture. It makes an oint
ment that is superior to anything that
I have seen tried for the flesh of either
horses or cattle, for either fresh or old
sores, and is especially good to remove
old, dry scabs. 1 1 softens the scab, and
it comes off, leaving the skin soft and
tough. The mixture is the best thing
I ever saw used for boot, or shoes for
outdoor wear, as it makes spongy leath
er water-proof, and hard leather soft.

A LETTER TO GOV. GABBER.
Strictly Private and Confidential.
Deak Garbkr For once, like a
mean Republican, I rise to explain. In
my late attack on you and the Insane
Asylum, I did not mean anything per
sonal, you know that; but there is a
campaign coming on. Xext year is to
be a great year for the Democrats. It's
break or make with us, Just before
such an event I am always seized with
the demon of unrest, I must have a
victim, a republican victim. Last gen
eral campaign I tried Cunningham, you
remember, well it didn't work very
well. He was too sharp for me and my
"reliable and intelligent witness, one
of the best men in Nebraska, &c," went
back on me and like to got himself and
all of us in limbo.
Xow I thiuk I have always been re
markably successful with Governors,
in Nebraska. Now so far, Garber, you
have made a good Official, your record
is clear. Don't you see we (the Demo
crats) could not let you go out of office
on such a record, we must do some
thing to tarnish your fair fame and
make capital for next fall. "Another
Governor Convicted." "The Herald
Still on the War-path." "Righteous
Vengeance for the poor demented."
"A Bepublican Governor must at last
turn Scoundrel." Don't you sco what
head lines these would make for next
year, how they would ring over the
land and maybe Manton Marble or
Dana would notice them, and have
another "Lincoln Article" on the cor
ruption of Nebraska Bepublican Gov
ernor and other officials, predicated on"
my head lines and then how happy I
would be. You see, Governor, Stout's
played out, for me. I can't use him.
He don't care a damn what I charge
Hitch and Cunningham have got used
to it, and don't wince. Daily and Yost
cover their tracks too well and I've on
ly you and Fuller left. You are both
new men and you'll have to get used to
this thing some time.
I did feel sorry for you, Garber, but
then it is of great importance to my
party that you shoald make some
blunder, commit some folly, or worse,
in that office ; or else, how could we
hope to carry the State for Democracy
in '7G. This is why I have abused you
and ordered you about so in that Asy
lum affair. Its nothing personal, I as
sure you
Previous to a great campaign I am
apt to get earthquake of the brain.
"The great nerve centres (of my head)
give way to that kind of lightning"
and unfortunately the fatal stroke lit
on you this time.
Now, if you can only bear it, dear
Governor, until after election, and you
don't turn on me too strong and prove
my assertions false or make me show
up my "liar," we can't tell what may
happen. We might take you up for
Governor ourselves, or, at any rate, af
ter it's all over and by your aid we have
broken up the Bepublican party, it
would certainly be some consolation
to you to have me write about you as
I did about Butler the other day, thus:
"We had a- long and agreeable visit
from Ex-Governor Gather." (Butler).
"Garber is a man of many striking
traits and genial qualities, and we have
much more respect for him than for
the asassins, &c &c."
Now I said much worse things of But
ler in his day, than I have of you;
called him fouler names, dared him to
come down and out, and ordered him
about worse, and yet you see I can be
magnanimous, and after I have used
him (or you), to crush out mine ene
mies, then I'll tell the world the truth
about you, and say you were a good
fellow, and not so much to blame as
other fellows; that ought to make you
feel good, you know.
Now, Governor, I wouldn't have
written you this private letter, but for
something I saw in a dirty little Be
publican sheet down at Plattsmouth.
That miserable editor, with the very
worst of taste, had printed some of his
impudence and balderdash, side by side
with my profound suggestions, and
autocratic behests.
Sonre days aso I
said :
"Did or did not Gov.
Garber send bis pri
vate secretary to in
vestigate the charges
about Fuller."
"Did or did not a
trustee of the Asylum
receive a promise from
Go. Garber that Fuller
should be remove !."
Jt;t Silas Garber
dare to authorize Pa
re n England, J. D.Cal
houn, or Mr. Uillinj;sly
to deny the charges
implied jn the abovn
questions, and we will
UK'kly show hiiu who
is tiie liar' in this
case."
And
"All we wnnt of Gov.
Garber is to remove
Fuller now, to-day. not
to-morrow, not "next
week, or next month,
but now, to-day."
Just see:
And here's what that
wall eyed Plattsmouth
chap wrote :
'Did or did not Gov.
Garberscnd his private
secretary, to tell Audi
tor Weston that he w:us
from licatriee, and red
headed, and chawed
too much tobacco."
"Did or did not a
trustee of the people
receive a promise that
these things would be
answered or W. remov
ed." "Let Silas Garber
dare to authorize the
proper persons to no
down into the Secre
tary of State' room
and tei! hiiu he is a
Dutchman. Let him
dare."
And
"All we want of Gov.
Garber, is to do these
things now, to-day. not
next week, not next
month, but now, to
day !"
When I saw that, Governor, I had a
fearful Earthquake of the brain and I
haven't got over it yet ; I'll pay that
fellow off.
Now Governor, let me down easy,
and I'll do the best I can for you sometime-Very
respectfully, but Democratic
ally yours,
Geo. L. Mrx'E-Eit.

Pawnee Reservation, f
Thinking it might be interesting to
some of your many readers to bear
from the boys, I drop you a few lines.
We are all getting along finely, and
have the Reservation nearly "finish
ed up." The Reserve begins at Genoa,
(where the Pawnees have been station
ed, until quite recently they have been
removed to the Indian Territory, their
future home), and extends ulnmt 30
miles west, ami is about 14 mile3 wide.
The Loup River runs through the south
ern boundary of the Reserve, its bot
toms varying from three to six miles
in width. The soil is a rich, black col
or, and from three to seven feet in
depth, covered with a rich growth of
blue-joint, and a litte slough grass, and
when cultivated will produce splendid
crops, especially corn.
The bluffs are rough ami broken.cov
ered with bunch and buffalo grass;
could be farmed, but is better adapted
to stock faising.
The Cedar is a line stream that en
ters the Reserve near the north-west
corner and juns across it in a south
east direction. The Reserve is well
timbered on every stream, particular
ly the Cedar and Loup.
We are dividing the bind into forty
acre lots; my understanding is. that
when the survey is completed, it will
be auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Last night when through writing, I
lay me down in sweet repose, to dream
of home, iny mi id tilled the while,
with many happy thoughts., especi.illy
of the jolly lite of a Surveyor, when
all was quiet throughout the camp, as
the mid-night hour stole slowly o'er us,
there came from out the north-east
corner of our tent, in a firm, loud
voice: "Get out of there boys, the Prai
rie's on lire, and is coining into camp!"'
There is one tiling certain the boys
were not as long getting out of bed,
(judging by myself), as they are in the
morning when the couk requests them
to meet him round the festal board.
When we arose, it was bright as
noon-day; not morn than a mile off,
came the terrible monster, crackling,
roaring, and leaping twenty feet at a
jump. Whe had to light and back fire
for about three hours, but saved every
thing without a scorch.
At 5 o'clock we arose, eat our break
fast and were, all ready to start out on
the line, when the wind shifted to the
north-west, and the snow began to Uy.
It now lays two inches deep on the lev
el, and is still snow ing. There is a fair
prospect that our winter has set in for
good.
The boys are hugging our sod-stove,
and whistling "the girl I left behind
me." This same stove is a queer look
ing affair; it will take too much space
to describe it here, but you loay rest
assured that it beats no stove at all.
I will be borne in ten or twelve days
and will be most happy to explain the
curiosity to "the b-hors."

The ltet Protection.
The best safeguards against epidemic dlsea-s-es
are thorough digestion and firm nerves. It
it because they assure the regular iterforaiance
of the digestive process, and invigorate the ner
vous system, that Hostter's Stomach Bit toss arer
such a soveivighu protective against the Influ
'euecs which lieg.'t intermittent maladies, and
those which directly affect the stomach and
bowels. If the nerves are healthfully tranquill,
the asstnialatioa of food perfect, as they are
sure to be under the influence of this standard
tonic and nervine, malaria may be delied. and
if, in the absence of tlio most reliable of medi
ieal safeguards, the system has fallen a prey to
disease of an intermittent or remittent type.tne
Hitters will, if peasisled in, eradicate every ves
tige of the malady. Billiousness, constipation
and dyspepsia, yield with equal certainty to the
operation of this potent vegetable alterative.
