The Legislature of Nebraska having made no provision for a vote by the Ieop'H for their preference for United Senator, that clause relating to the expression of tluur preference as seen in the election notices is null and void and no such vote will be taken. C. P. MOORE. Co. Clerk. j HON. SAM. M. CHAPMAN-. ' who h.is been re-nominated for Sena j tor, is well known in this county. j This wi'.i bs 1 is second term if elected. ; r.nd n man in Cas county has lillod his pl.vo any abler or male a better mark in our history than Mr. Chap man. He is an able lawyer, and has i more friends in the countv than you I can shake a stick at in a long, lon j summer. "Sam" is sure to be elected ! and we know we shall have a man there who knows how to lead as well as follow should occasion demand. He was a soldier and served throughout the entire war. J. M. ISZAnpSLKY, nominee for representative, is a young man of great promise. "Joe," as he is almost universally called, is one of the straightest, brightest. level-headed younj men we have got. He is :::i old resident of the county and enlisted for the war from old Cass. After his dis- -t -. . 1 1 i . . it- - uv.-,.. cnarge lie seiueu ai, erimg aiei,i where he has a handsome farm, and conducts all his business with method and regularity, lie is an A No. 1 bus iness man anil one of the very best se lections we could have made.

II is an old resi.lent of the county, his father having died some years ago. "Steve" took charge of the family and has displayed great energy, good sense, and honesty in all his relations of life. About two years ago he married and fairly began his own home. No man in the county standi higher. There i3 uu spot or blemish in his record. T. N. BOHBIT is a fanner and homesteader from Tip ton precinct. A young man, too, of high standing, lively, smart, and a true bins republican. Has been a soldier like all the rest. His name and fame are before him yet, but if he continues as well as he sets out and always has as many friends as he had in thai con vention he can get most any thing he wants. He is going to get this elec tion, sure. IIF.N'KY WOLFF. Republican candidate for County Com missioner in thi district, is a m m of more age than either of the other can didates, being nearly 50 years old, and the father of a large family.

Tin Chinese are a wry old Nation, but the woild hc-aiu little of tlu-m for many a year, nor is their iullutnce felt widely among Natioi.s to-day. It is not age alone then that makes nations or individuals famous. One century 1ns sufficed to place the American in tha fore front of civilization, and when I think of this, I feel as if I could look with great complacency on a few more hun dred year OLD HOUSES. We pass the old Uarrett place, where j the English Soldiers searched for arms j and amn.unitio;), which wore hid in j tha girre., in barrels covered with j feathers. A soldier upset on of the j barrels, and the tine leathers Hew in; their noses and mouths. The others cursed him for a fool to raise up such a shindy, and the cartridges, and pre cious balls and flints were undiscover ed. Aunty showed us the very lane where Mrs. liarreU.i a great.great.great grandmother or something), took the children out in the woods to hide until father, (Col. Uarrett,) came home. Miss Millicent, (since a historical character; w as the oldest, and one of the lutle ones cried to go back to get a little book, she thought a great deal of, urg ing as an excuse that she "would have nothing to say her catechise out of," if she could not get it. Of course that house was over a hundred years old. The house where Aunt Phebe was born was an old. old. large red house, now gone to decay, but kituated very hand somely, and such magnificent elms as ate in the old front yard, are seldom seen. It is nearer two hundred years .since it was built, but was theonlvone we saw not tenanted. I asked of a number of houes how old they were, and received tha answer, "well, they were there just the same when I w,u a girl. I am 71 years old. I know they are over a hundred." IN Tint VILLAGE. Oh my! how mad a western town of that size would be, k be calied a vil lage, yet so it is spoken of. In the vil lage we ride by the "Old Man.-.e" where Hawthorne lived, and we think any body could write about "Seen Gabie.V from that house; by Emerson's house, a neater mansion of more modern s.y'.e ; by the Alcott place, of course, where we saw the funny fence, and had the extreme pleasure of viewing the home of the author of "Little Women," one of the best books written in late years. ni.ll UKAVF YAKIM. Co any of the 1Ii:hli readers like to visit old grave yards. I do once in a while. There are three in Concord. Toe old one, the okbsr one, and the oldest of all. One is in a semi-circnlar plot iu the very heart of i.he town, ano.lier just at the side and joining the Court yard, and the las. ami newest cemete ry bin a little way beyond that. They were not so afraid of their dead in those days as we seem lo be now. The dates on these stones are very old, be ginning in 1 !). The inscriptions on many arc a curiosity. It is for these I have called your attention. Th-3 only white stone to be seen bears this: "This stone is designed by its durabil ity to perpe. aate the m- niory, and by its color to signify the moral character of , who lied June, 1312." They used to put all a man's good deeds, peculiarities or oddities on his tomb stone, of one it siys: "II ! was given to hospitality.a lo er of good n. n, a particular friend of Ministers of tue gos; el, died 17sl." "H'-re re: ts in hope , who accumulated a large estate, and posess ed a reputation remarkably lair and unspotted." "The Rev. Chas. King, never detract ed from tins character of any man, and died 1732." Almost all these good men did in 1700, and, som vv.iy, I didn't find ;::.y of this sort after 10 . There are a great many "Dea 'ous" there; it must have been quite a title in those days. They gave whole fami ly l.i.-tories on the tombs, as: "Here lies the body of Mrs. Dorothy Hunt, relict of Mr. John Hunt, form erly wife of Mr. Joseph M-rri.vn, who departed thislife Mav,l774, ss years of age." Of .Tu.lgf Hour's father, Samuel Hoar, it says: "He was long one of th" nio-t ",-.:. low marbltf slabs mark tha spot. The ; evergreens are broken and it loons lone- j s and neglected. j A plain old fashioned dark stone j tdu'1'! over the grave of Thoreiu, on? of the greatest thinkers this country j has produced. Iu the Emerson lot, a very handsome .1.1 1 .i ..-.i-i iO i.M f.r i;nii :i i ier uui, an in." i li'uuii ........... , of the family, states, "his grandfather was a Minister." Many of the ins crip tions mention th? fact that th? father or some relative was a Minister. The Ministers were tint leaders in New England in early diys, and were great ly respected ; so iif of th? be-tt blood, (so calie I), of ol i Massachusetts, runs back to a Minister. I T1IK I'l lil.IC LI It VARY. j On the .Main Street, which by the j vay our friend Mids says aiways re minds him of Main Street in Platts mouth ( ?)t'ney havea unique and beau tiful Librarv building, and it contain-; in. mr treasures of art. Mr. J cs. T. i Fields has presented a number of orig inal mss. of famous authors. We read portions of them. "Fragments of a Ro mance," by Hawthorne. "A Family Portrait" O. W. Holmes, one of Tho re.ufs, and Em -rson's "Culture" '"The Cathedral," by Lowell, mss. of Motley. Many of them are blotted and erased, and corrected for the printer. An alcove called the Monroe Alcove, is tilled with books of Concord Au thors alone. We could fill a larger let ter than this with the curiosities there, on the VISITORS BOOK. Among the first names are Wend-11 Phillips. Henry James, and Chas. Sum ner. N. P. Ranks is further along, with many a name that is famous in American History. No wonder Concord p-'Op'e are proud of th'irt wn. No other can show such an array of living an 1 tlr id heroes, cither of the pen or sword. TIIF S LIIKUS' MOXt'MKST. In the most public squar opposite th Court House, stands a plain Gran ite Shaft, the Soldiers Monument. On one side are the names of tho honored dead, who fell in the late rebellion, on the otiier this only, FAITIIrCL UNTO I'EATil. With uncovered head I approached to read the names. In sight of the bridge, where 100 years ago the fathers fought to give us liberty, lie the sons, who but yesterday gave up their lives that we might remain a nation, free, whole, and uncon quered by foes from within or without. Like a flash came a picture of the dark days of the war, the long march, the hungry bivouac, the dea l comrades we left, the longing for peace and home, all passed before me. Involuntarily the twars spr.it) g to my eyes. It may bo old to mt;iy, but to int! it was the first niDnument, saered to the memory of our brave dead, with in whoso shadow I ha I ever stood, and it affected me deeply. "Faithful unto df.-it h." Vei ilv thev were. Tbe srnl words ran in mv mind all that dav, and for many afterwards. j in t:i;: KVItNINr., J we se.L :;nd chatted with the relative ; mentioned above, who was born, an 1 j h is lived near Concord all her life. j Every tradition is familiar to her. We I heard the kindly gossip about all the pcopb, dead and living, who have help ed to m ike the place famous. I don't think she recognized that she was talk- ! ing to a newspaper man, accus' med to collect ar;d retain facts and incidents, and although I kept no notes, I could have gone up stairs that night, and writ' en the whole chat out, and I fell you it would have made the most inter esting matter any newspaper corre spondent has furnished his paper in a long while. Rut I received it. as we mav suv, on th square, and under the squaie it shall lay. TO T'FI.
