Ttie Omaha Bse endorses our view of the taxatiou business and says we mast assess at true value of the prop erty. A Mr. Durell of this County went prazy over his losses on hogs by chole ra and had to be taken to the State Asylum by Sheriff Cutler. Ttie President having appointed Mr. C. I. Filley to continue as Postmaster at St. Louis, and this without the con sent of the Globe-Democrat, there is likely to be more of implacability than ever in the editorial columns of the G-D. Chicago had a big Silver meeting on the 13th, 5,000 people present and they wanted the dollar of our daddies right away. Omaha is agitating the same thing and the silver dollar is roll ing along. "We have had letters from several gentlemen interested in the sheep bu siness of the State and Mr. Core near Iiouisviile, came te see us on the mat ter. We hepe all these gentlemen will find time to attend tb wool growers meeting at Lincoln on the I5th. There ha3 been a recent decision in the English courts which is at once anti-Democratic, and, if put into prac tice in this country, would disfigure Cronin's nose. It was the case of a large stockholder of an English com pany who met all by himself and unan imously passed some extraordinary resolutions. The case was referred to the courts, and the decision of the court is that a single stockholder of a joint stock company cannot "meet"and transact business. This will be a squel cher onCronin and his little joint stock company, and his case, as it will be observed that both Cronin and the English stockholder were "unani mous." I. O It is reported ex-Senator Hitch cock, of Nebraska, is to- be appointed consul general at Pari, vice General Torbert, whose commission expires January next. This is olr last issue before Christ mas tlt Holiday which all regard, from the balls ef Congress down through the courts, the legislatures, the schools, the business houses, to each little individual child who thinks Christmas the happiest day in the year. "We send a Christmas greeting to all our patrons, and may the roses and blossoms of love and joy and hap piness cluster as thickly round each fireside and make happy the hearts of all from the least to the greatest and we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. The Flattsmouth Herald has changed his tune in reference to the Indians since a resident of Cass Coun ty was killed by the "cowardly wretch es." Now it wants more soldiers and better rifles. News. That shows just about how much in telligence you use in reading your ex changes. The editor of this paper hav ing spent a fair portion of his life on the frontier, with a practical knowl edge of Indian ways and habits has never had but one opinion about it and has advocated it for vears. It cor responds with the few remarks made on Mr. Rhoden'a murder. Editorial Association. The Editorial Association of Nebras ka, will meet at the rooms of the Com mercial Hotel, in Lincoln, on January 15th. 1878. It is desired there be a full attendance of bona fide members, and we hope several days session will be devoted to the business interests of the fraternity in the State. J. C. MCBRIDE, J. A. MAcMtmpnY, President, 39U Secretary. Wool Grower's Notice. The Wool Growers of the State of Nebraska, and all those interested in the progress and success of sheep-raising in the State are invited to be pres ent at a meeting called in Lincoln, on January loth. 1878. One of the princi pal objects of the meeting will be to firm a State Wool Growers' Associ;- tion, and to take such steps as will unite the interest of breeders and sheep men generally in the State. The Com mittee will be at the Commercial Ho tel, Lincoln, on and after January 15th, State papers please copy. Moses Stocking, S. C Caret.- Com. Jno. A. MacMtjrphy Prof. Thompson writes us that the Horticultural Society of the state de sires all the information about fruit growing in Cass Co., that can be ob tained. Number of orchards, number of bushels fruit raised, kind of trees, price per bushel, &c. We would be thankful for all statistics of this kind that can be sent to this office. We also call attention to the wool grower's meeting at Lincoln on the fif teenth. In view of the serious loss of the hog crop by cholera, it behooves the farmers of Nebraska to turn their attention earnestly and intelligently towards a more diversified industry. Wisconsin found out she could not live by hops alone. Nebraska learned her wheat lesson at a very high price for tuition; let us not be left helpless and stranded with only the hog to help us out in the future. Sheep raising, wool growing, cheese making and dairying are the next sources of profit in store for the farmer in Nebraska. We are happy to see that our western ex changes at North Platte and Sidney are waking up to the importance of the woolen interests of the state, and are shouting for sheep and woolen mills. I Let ua have a glorious turn out. We have made a notice of the meet ing of the editorial association at Lin coln on the 15th of Jan. We are very glad to see that many of our exchang es are backing us up in our long three three years struggle that the associa tion should be put on a square business footing; that the sessions we hold at our annual reunion shall be devoted to the material affairs of the newspa per business; that none but bone Ida publishers of newspapers shall be vot ing members and that the aim and ob ject of the association shall be the same as that of the Bar Association, or the Medical Association of Jie state, namely, the protection of the business interests of the fraternity, the gather ing of statistics useful and necessary in bettering our condition and to add the strength of union to our personal endeavors for success. Three subjects of very great impor tance suggest themselves to us as part of the business of this meeting. A strong and united effoit should be made to pledge the conductors of news papers in this state to the pay in ad vance system, if we have to put the price at $1.50 per year. Itjcaujhardly be done, singly, but by the united action of the association it may be. The loss by the present system is immense and greatly weakens the strength and use fulness of our county press. The advertising agency business must be corrected and the system changed in favor of the publisher; as before only a strong and united action can do this. Thirdly, there should be some adjust ment between the legal fraternity and publisher regarding the securing of payment of legal advertising, which, is an absolute loss to most newspapers." The publishing of the laws of the state and many other matters should bo fairly and fully treated of and ar ranged for in the future and we hope there will be a full attendance. State papers please copy. We are very much disappointed in not receiving in time for this issue some Christmas cards, by which we in tended expressing our good wishes to our patrons. Look out for them next week. TELEGRAPHIC! ATEST FROM THE RUSSO-TURK-ISH WAR.' Dead wood Items. The Commissioner General to the Tarls Exposition London, December 17. A dispatch from Constantinople Sunday says the death of Osman Pasha, while en route for Bucharest, is announced. Official advices from Bucharest are awaited with interest, that the doubt of his death may bo removed, A telegram from Bucharest this afternoon an nounces the arrival of the czar at that place, but does not mention the death of Osman Pasha. BccnAREST, December 17. The re port of the suicide of Osman Pasha is false. There is no foundation for the rumor of his death from any cause. Bucharest, December 17. Colonel Wellely, British military attache, says Osman Pasha had less than 80,000 men at Plevna, and in his sortie lost 6.000 killed alone. The wounded must have been 6,000 more. Deadwood, D. T December 17. A bottle of petroleum was brought into this city to-day from an oil well that was discovered a few weeks ago eight miles from Jenny's stockade and one hundred miles south of Deadwood. The petroleum, is pronounced by experts to be superior to that of West Virginia. No Indian depredations have been committed in this vicinity or on any of the routes leading to the Hills for some time. Davenport. December 17. The damage sustained by the last span of the Rock Island bridge Saturday last. has been substantially repaired. Pas senger and freight trains commenced running as usual this morning. Washington, Dec 16. The Paris Exposition bill became a law Saturday, and immediately the name of ex-Assistant Secretary McCdrmick wtjs sent into the Senate as Commissioner Gen eral. At the brief executive sesssion the nomination was confirmed. The Senate waived its order of yesterday not to do any business to day, in order to accomplish this, as it was necessary that the Commissioner General should be able to assume his duties at once. Funds are very much needed, and could not be drawn except on the requisition of the Commissioner Gen eral. Nebraska. Many letters are daily received in quiring about this State, its soil, cli mate, and desirability as a f armingcoun try. In a journey across the State, a few years ago, we formed a much more favorable opinion of its sou than we had previously possessed. During the past summer, one of our associates spent seyeral weeks there, visiting a majority of the counties, and was very favorably impressed. From al he could gather, and from other sour ces of information, we judge that any farmer going there,with sufficient means to maintain himself and family temporarily, until he gets a start that is, until he can get a first crop harvested can hardly fail to do well This year, a large number have made enough from a single harvest to pay all expenses of the crop, and the or iginal cost of the land, with a sur plus over. Those desiring information as to localities, prices of land in mar ket, etc.. would do well to write to Hon. O. F. Davis, at Omaha; or, A . E Touzalin, at Lincoln, Nebraska. American Agriculturist. It may be difficult to classify dys pepsias, but it is easy to state the gen eral conditions on which good digestion depends. Who are the people that are always talking about their digestion and their dyspepsia? Not sailors, nor agricultural laborers, nor mechanics, nor boys and girls, nor, for the most part, men; in other words, not those who live much in open air and use their limbs afld muscles. But who are the people that are afraid of. their meals, and have miserably to consider what we shall not eat and what we shall not drink. They are in-door sort of people tailors and shoe-makers, milliner?, clergymen, literary men and nervous, fidgety people, who are always worrying themselves. They are peo ple that weaicen their stomachs by thiugs which they take not only by too much beer and spirituous drinks, but by living too much on tea and smoking too much tobacco. TABLE TALK. "In all attempts at refinement, one cardinal point should be kept in view, that manners were made for mer, not men tor manners. Nice custom?, courtesy to great kings, and the great est of these is convenience. Most rules will be found to serve convenience, and there is no good breeding where eti quette is not observed for this end, the order and comfort of all concerned, not for the sake of defining one's social position. When any one begins to study maaners as a set of arbitrary rules, followed because every other de sirable acquaintance does the same, politeness breeds a sort of pharisaism that the best bred persons look down on as supremely vulgar. If any mis tress of a house looks here for rules that will aid her to affect a trifle more of style than her neighbors, she will only be disappointed. If any woman wishes hints how to reduce her house hold to regularity and make her child ren neat and gentle in habits, it may be that she will not find this chapter in vain." Extract from the Home Cook Book. St Paciflco. A peasant coming to a wholesale seed dealer buying seed was asked for the terms of payment, he gave the day as St Pacifico, as ft is the use in Lombard y where the affair happened to make notes payable on certain saint days. The seller looking over his notes could not find St Pacifico in the almanac The year passed, Also the note but when All Saints day came he went to present his note, saying to-day is all Saints day, and St Pacifico must be under that. All right the buyer said here are your stamps. - President and Mrs.'IIayes will cel ebrate their silver wedding next week. The witnesses of the ceremony in 1852, who are now living, will be present, and assist in celebrating the twent fift. anniversary. Among these is Mr. Rodgcrs, the President's Private Secretary.
