THE HERALD. OVER, THE HAIL AX EDITOR'S TIUP TO UTAH, CONTINUED ! PERSONAL MENTION. Home again to Nebraska; The Nobbiest, The Noblest, The Nicest State After AIT, Official Record, Ac. GOING OUT At Fremont, Bro. Michael, our Vice President, met us with a fresh, red hot Tribune, containing all our (I113) speech ps the night before at Omaha. We beg leave to aver that we learned ours by heart, and firmly intended to make that speech (it was so appropriate, you know) somewhere on the trip, so that Bro-ifichael should not have his trouble for nothing. Owing to sickness, and the contemplation of other wonders we got no time for that, but shall make it yet, if only to our wife to see how it sounds. AT GRAND ISLAND. Jiro. W imams met us with a hearty welcome, .accompanied by two brass bands, we also saw Mr. Murphy and wife, old riattsmouth friends here took Mrs. Mobley aboard, at which Mobley smiled audibly, and found Mr. and Mrs. Wiltse, with "red ribbons" and other good things for supper, "RED RIBBONS." Mr. Howard Kfjnnedy had telegraph to Mr. Wiltze to have two rolls of red ribbon ready for the editors. Mr. W, wijiicicu, ncu 1 luuons on nana, any thing else the editors would like for sup per And these red ribbons caused a good deal of fun along the route. At Sidney a chap shouted. "Hello! what brand 13 that?" It was during the -round up," and he must have thought we were a new kind of cattle. At Laramie a temperance organiza tion had just been started with the in signia of red ribbons, and we were mis taken for a band of temperance crusa ders. The girls flirted with them, and the boys, well the boys kept straight you know, on account of the red tape. At Xorth Tlatte Bro. Gantt came aboard at midnight, and saluted us with a kis3 of welcome and his regrets that he could not accompany the party. At Sidney we saw Mr. Gossage of the Telegraph, Mr. Ilobbs, an old personal friend of the writer, Mr. Gramberg of riattsmouth, and lots of Black Hillers from other points in Xeb. At Laramie we met Mr. A. White, who bought us .1 tin kettle to help the red ribbon along, and Col. Hayford of the Sentinel. In Ogden we met Dr. Rawlins, we!! known here, Mr. and Mrs. Peebles ai.il Mr. S. M. Carhart, all personal and old time friends of the Herald, and who treated us most kindly. Mr. Beardsly of the eating house and Mr. and Mrs. Schram, acquaintances. Some of the party called on both newspapers. We eould not on account of ill health just about then. IN SALT LAKE, Col. Xuckols took great pains to have the members see everything and enjoy their visit to the utmost. We are very j .. uul uuv t; met 111m our- eelf. We also saw at the Walker House one morning, the familiar and very good looking (to us then) faces of John Fitzgerald and Mr. R. C. Cushing of this place, which was quite a surprise to us. Hon. G. W. Covell of Xeb. City and his wife, were also at Salt Lake, and ac companied some of our party eastward on Wednesday. Among other things Te must not forget to mention "THE QUILL DRIVER THE NEBRASKA EXCURSIONISTS ORGAN. A F eathery Sheet, Published as we Fly Edited by the Corps Editorial. Printed by ye Devil and others." and the motto of which was "Ambiti ous for all things, responsible for noth ing." A racy little sheet, being the second newspaper published on the rail in the U. S. It was printed on a Cot tage hand press, belonging to Clemie Chase, and was called our other Organ. It made the most music, at least the most continuous, on the road. HOME AGAIN TO NEBRASKA. As we returned and began the long descent toward the Missouri River, the greon, green earth, the beautiful' grain fields, the houses dotting the plain, and the dark rich foliage of the numerous groves canght every eye, and exclamations of delight were heard from every member of the partv, and expressions like this, "Xebraska" after all, the other is the grandest but this is the best." "I never appreciated Xe braska before as I do now, after that long waste of Desert, and Sand don't these green fields look refresh ing." All concluded that moun tains might be grand, artificial cultiva- litany perrecc on a small scale, mines produce wealth but the rich pure soil of Xebraska formed the best home after all. At Kearney, we di vided, more than half going over the B. & M. to their homos, and the rest dropping off at various points along the U. P., until only the Quill Dricer and a very, very few Quill Drivers reached Omaha. Saturday, June 2, 1877 and thus ended our beautiful trip to Salt Lake, and over the Rocky Moun tains.

The following letter, although writ ten over a year ago, has never yet been published, and as it contains much his torical information that will be of special interest to the many students who read the High School, we give it entire. It is in answer to a letter of inquiry on the subject sent Mr. Oling- er by Prof. Beals : Decatur, Xeb., March 3, 187G. Prof S. D. Beals, Omaha, Xeb. Dear sir: I have just returned home after a two months abence. and found your letter asking me to ascer tain signification of certain indian names of places, &c.' I hasten to com ply. . The information given below, I have just obtained from Henery Fontenelle, a well educated half-breed of the Oma ha tribe, whom I regard as good auth ority. O-ma-ha, signifies up stream. The Omaha tribe was once a part of the Qu-au-pau" tribe that formally lived on the head waters of the Ohio. Sell ing their reservation, they started west without any difinite place in view, sailing down the Ohio until they came to its mouth. As to their future course, they disagreed; part wishing to go down stream. The result was a division; those going down stream were called O-gach-pa; those going up stream, O-ma-ha. Minne-ha-ha, is a Sioux word Signi fying Laughing Water. Ae-ma-ha Xe. water, ma-ha, be longing to the Omaha's. The Xemaha river was originally the southern and western boundary, lines of their lands, thu3 named Omaha's water or water lines. Xe-bras-ka bras-ka signifies flat, shallow. Xio-bra-ra bra-ra, signifies wide shallow. These two words havo about the same meaning; ide, flat, shallow water. Te-ka-ma, he said, was not an Oma ha name, and could not give its meaning. I may from tune to time get items of interests from him. If so will com municate them. 1 shall be happy 'to render you snch assistance in this mat ter as will be in my power, whenever called upon.

Then he "raises" the 'duce' when his mother 'takes a hand in' and contary to Iloyle, 'beats the lit tle joker' with her five . Then, with his 'diamonds' he 'wins' the 'queen of hearts. Tired of playing a 'lone hand he expresses a desire to 'assist' his fair partner, 'throws out his cards, and the clergyman takes a 810 bill out of him 'on a pair.'

He grows old and 'bluff sees a 'deal' of trouble: when he at last 'shuffles' off his mortal coil, and 'passes in his checks.' As he is 'raked in' by a 'spade,' life's fitful 'game' is ended, and he waits the sum mons of Gabriel's 'trump,' which shall 'order him up.' D. A.

Ev erything seems to urge people to prop er care of their teeth. At a meeting the Xew York Odontolojrical Societv. Dr. J. Marion Sims, commenting on the value of dental knowledge to the phy sician, remarked: As to the effect of diseased teeth upon the general health, I wish medical men generally could be better educated on that point. We are all familiar with the fact that decayed teeth frequently cause neuralgia; and this is the extent of medical education on the point. They usually do not re cognize the fact that, as a creneral thing, decayed teeth, teeth with in flamed alveolus, with matter exuding from around the teeth, are the means of producing more nervous disorders, more terrible consequences to the gen eral health than almost any other thing hat can happen.
