A I oiuf ADO in Georgia destroyed
vast amount of property.
Discovkay of gold ii reported near

exists.

Will foreclose it in '80.
Our spicy Washington correspond

and pays our friend Valentine a de

The Omaha Republican is publish

Remember we want oats and wood
at once, on subscription; and all mon

The Oliver Cameron breach of
promise suit is one of the sensations
from which any person not possessiug
a morbid appetite for such proceedings
will turn in disgust.
The Inter-Ocean thinks that we have
bad about enough able-bodied walking
'round a tan-bark ring for glory. It
offers some of the walkists a chance to
walk behind a plow a thousand miles,
any where in Neoraska.
We have received communications
fromSonth Bend, Avoca, and Bush
bury, all of which came too late for
publication this week. Our corres
pondents must remember that the
Weeping Water and western mails "do
not get in until noon and 3 o'clock and
communications received on that day
are too late for publication the same
week.
A change takes place in the time
table of the Republecan Valley exten
sion of the B. & M. to-day. Trains
will hereafter leave Hastings at 8. -03

p. mand arrive at Hastings at 6:55 p.
ra. Travelling men are highly pleased
with the change.
It would seem from the House dem
ocratic caucus proceedings that the
southern and new members' do not
want a short session. At least fifty
amendments were made on as many
different subjects, to the resolution
that legislation be confined to the ap
propriation bills and the matters in
the call.
Kend in Your Money.
On payment for the Herald we will
be responsible for all monies sent by
mail, if put in letter, in presence of
Postmaster. We do this that no par
ties may have excuse aot to pay up
now and henceforth. We want to
make it as easy for our subscribers as
possible, but some money we must
have. -Ed. Herald.
The II erbld observes with pleasure
the call for a meeting Friday evening
lu nominate a city ticket. If the men
whose names are signed to that call
put their shoulders honestly to the
wheel and represent themselves, we
cannot help but get a good ticket. For
once we seem to have agreed to quit
lighting each other and to work togeth
er for the common good. May the re
bult be so happy that the experiment
can l e renewed.
The death of Dr. Delvoven, Warden
of Racine college, Wisconsin which oc
curred last week will be a great loss to
tha Episcopal church and to the col"
lege of which he had been warden for
twenty years ' and which had been
largely built up by his unceasing and
well diluted labors. His death by ap
poplexy occured at the comparatively
early age of forty-seven years. II's
funeral was attended by over fifty cler
gymen from all parts of the United
States, four bishops and hundreds of
laity, all bearing testimony to the good
works he had wrought.
The Republican party has made
some grand mistakes, among which
has been" the. sending of her gallant
soldiers to the' rear in politics and
bringing forth new'wishy-washy men.
At every yelp of "fraud" from the de
mocracy some weak-kneed brethren
shivered and whined and urged that
unch men should be left out and fel
lows with no record be the selections
for office. It has been so from county
affairs up. Look at the South, ask the
Brigadiers if their people were ever so
pqueamish. Devotion to their state
and the "lost cause" has-been reward
ed there. Devotion to our States, our
theories, and our cause has relegated
the best men we have to back seats.
Last Thursday, say the dispatches
- from Washington, all interest gath
ered around the Senate end of the Cap
itol where the democratic senators
were making up the caucus slate for
cratic senator except Hampton and
(Jordon were present. H. C. Burcli, of
Louisiana, got the secretaryship, the
best paying office. Henry Wat'rson's
father was a competitor, but got
Burched. It was an anti-Tilden victo
rr. The Rev. Mr. Bullock, of Ken
'lucky, got the chaplainship. All but
one of the other officers are from the
South, but as the majority of the dem

democratic friends should not grum-
About Ourselre.
We have received, many letters from
out subecribera'sayingi hold on ; we'll
pay by-and-by," &;. Now, we do not
want to force any one or do an injus
tice to a single person, and where there
is a reasonable excuse and an arrange
ment made for sure payment (in the
future) at the tltna set we will of
course "bold on;" but this thing has
run so long and so many never answer
a dun or pay any attention to letters
that we must have such'fixed up with
out delay. As before stated, we need
money first and foremost, and secondly,
it is no kindness to our subscribers to
let these accounts run any mre. It is
easier to pay 05 than $10, and $2.50
than either, and the sooner they are
paid and interest stopped the better
for both parties.
There is somebody to blame for the
city council which we now have, out of
which nothing beneficial could grow
unless it were by mere chance. Some
body bluudered; and it is not very
hard to tell who it was. The people
who have the most to make by good
government and the most to lose by
poor government stayed away from the
polls last year and the year before
They were too busy or too negligent to
go even to the primaries, and so they
spent their time in cursing parties and
factions, and have been cursing the
council steadily from that day to this.
That is humanity but it isn't sense.
News.
So, we are not the only paper which
has to arraign the good citizens for
failing to turn out to the primaries.
Keep at it, Fred. It requires a vast
deal of work to produce a small result
in that direction, but "constant drop
ping" you know.
It seems the Omaha Herald has
been making wholesale charges against
our late legislature. Owing to absence
we have not seen the particulars but
give below the summing up of the
Lincoln Journal: -
The Herald admits virtually that it
has been virtually worsted in its at
tempt to show up great extravagance
in the late legislature on appropria
tions, but contents itself with swear
ing that no republican newspaper dares
to "defend the legislature." So far as
the Journal knows it needs no defense.
Besides the lies that the Herald con
cocted about its " infamous" extrava
gance, and the sectional abuse it has
received in some quarters on account
of the capitol appropriation, nothing
appears against its record. It did
clean work, so far as is kuown.the full
value of which, however, cannot be
known until its work is pat in print.
No newspaper of ordinary sense will
either attack or defend the legislature
as as a whole until it has an intelligent
idea of what its wi k has been. So
far as its appropriations are concerned
they speak for themselves. The cap
itol needed enlarging and the legisla
ture had the courage to do its duty in
the premises. The insane hospital
was inadequate to accommodate the
patients of the state, 'and it had the
common sense to provide fr its exten
sion. The state needed a reform
school, and it provided for bnilding
one. It found that the statt honestly
owed the Omaha Herald and other par
ties money, and it provided for the
payment of such claims as were incon
trovertible, etherwise it merely appro
priated the usual and necessary
amounts needed to carry on the gov
ernment. .

TllOS. POLLOCK,
We publish above the City Cleik's re
port of receipts and expenditures of
the city for the year ending March
16th, 1879. As an indication of the
ability with which city affairs have
been conducted the past year, we call
attention to the fact that the receipts
exceeded the expenditures by $414,
which gives promise af a return to
rock bottom in the affairs of the city.
Our Washington Letter.
Washington, D. C,
March 18th, 1879. f
For the past two weeks the all ab
sorbing topic has been Who will be
the next Speaker. The Democratic
contestants soon narrowed down to
Randall and Blackburn. The friends
of each were hopeful, exultant and
conSdent of victory, lllackburn's
rooms at Willard's were a constantly
changing kaleidoscope of friend, eag
er for the success of their Southern fa
vorite. It is said that ohl ICeutucky
Bourbon flowed freely and exerted no
small amount of influence in seenr
ring pledges. Randall's parlors were
equally well visited by Jtis friends who
were quite as confident of success, but
as he is strictly temperate were less
demonstative and more dignified. As
soon as it was decided m caucus that
Randall had the majority of vote.
Blackburn arose and made a short
speech, thanking his friends for their
generous support, and moved that the
nomination of Sam'l J. Randall be
made unanimous, which was done amid
cheers for Blackburn who had so no
bly borne his defeat.
The opening of the 4Cth Congress
was one of unusual interest from the
fact that for the first time in eighteen
years the Democrats had a majority
in both houses. At 12 A. M. the
Clerk called the House to order and
after having read the President's mes
sage convening the extra session sta
ted that the time designated having
arrived he would call the roll, that as
the last Clerk of the House he was re
quired by law to prepare. The roll
of numbers were called by States, be
ginning "with Maine. With but two
exceptions every member answered to
his name. Ou motion of Mr. Wood
thy proceeded to vote far spe.iker
which resulted in a strictly party vote,
each faction sustaining its nominee,
with the exception of Barlow, a new
ly fledged member from Vermont, who
Yoted solitarily and independently in
stentorian tones for William D, Kel
ley. When the name of J. C. S. Black
burn was called, be responded in clear
full tones "Sam'l J. Randall" which
was applauded with cheer upon cheer
from the densely packed galleries. The
regular nominees did not vote when
their names were called. GarGeld cat
complacent and smiling, occasionally
taking notes hi a small book and return
ing the hand' pressure of his numerous
friends who so proudly sustained him
Blackburn was almost hidden by bas
kets and bouquets of the choicest flow-
ers which completely covered hi3 desk
and filled the remotest corner of the
galleries with their fragrance. Ran
dall sat on the right of tha Speakers
desk with a few friends, a triumphant
smile plainly visible on his clearly de
fined face. After a formal announce
ment of the result Randall was escort
ed to the chair by Blackburn aud Gar
field, and the oath administered by
Kelly of Pa., the oldest member in con
tinuous service. The other membert
were then sworn in by States. When
the members from the States of Dele
ware, Old Virginia, North Carolina
and South Carolina were call
ed, the Speaker said he wonld first
administer the oath to those who
could take it in the usual form, that is
the " Iron Clad," only fite members
stepped forward and took it, thereby
showing how the ex-rebel element is
growing in politics. Conspicuous
among those taking the modified oath
was Gen. Joe E. Johnson of Confeder
ate fame, recently elected Representa
tive from Virginia.
The Ohio delegation presented the
most striking appearance of any one
State. Such men as Garfield, Keifer
and Ex-Gov. Young are at once notice
able in any crowd for their noble bear
ing, handsome personal appearance and
marked decision of character. When
the members retired to the rear and
the drawing for seats commenced, our
one member from Neb., stood almost
head and shoulders above the majori
ty, the handsomest man on the floor;
who he was and where from was a com
mon questiim in the galleries. His
name was among the first called and
his selection of seats one of the best on
the floor, being surrounded by the old
war horses of the Republican Party.
Judge Valentine has already won the
reputation of being an indefatigable
worker and is prophesied a shining
light in the debates of the present
House. He is thoroughly whole-soled,
big hearted aud generous, and as a
Mississippi member said of him, "Will
be a grand success."

We were favored with three enter
tainments last week. "Ten Nights &c,
was played Thursday and Saturday
evenings. Thursday evening the play
was supplemented by a pantomime aud
Saturday evening by the farce. Box
and Cox," both pantomime and farce,
as well us "Ten Nights," were well
acted. The huse was comfortably
full the first night and crowded the
last night. At the school exhibition
Friday night many went away, unable
to find even standing room. The ex

German Clerks.
German clerks are ra demand in France
and England; first, because they are more
thoroughly trained; second, they speak
two or more languages; third, they are
not only more ethYient but cheaper. Ger
man education aims at practical result,
by menns of technical training. The stu
dy of languages is a nwessary part of this
training. In Germany, among the me
chanic class, you can always rind boys,
youths, and men, who can talk English
and French fluently. It pays Germany to
teach all her children to read, write, and
spell more than one language.
Cutting Trees by Electricity.
This new discovery is a great improve
nif nt on the primitive axe, more agreeable
to the listening poet reclining on a mossy
knoll than to the wielder of the clumsy
and laborious instrument. Some experi
ments in wood-cutting by electricity were
miale in England several yeari ngo, with
unsatisfactory results. Recently in India
Bimiiar experiments have proceeded so far
as to establish the belief that the idea is a
practical one. The two ends of the cop
per wires of a galvanic battery are con
nected with platinum wire, which in
stantly becomes red-hot, in which state it
is drawn forward and back across the tree
trunk, which yields to tho severing pro
cess immediately. An English paper, af
ter stating these facts in detail, ends thus:
But what is to become of the good old
eoug? Is it to be, 'Electrician, spare that

Antidotes for Poisoning.
Arsenic If any one be poisoned with ar
senic, administer mustard water until vom
iting is produced. The water is made by
etirringtwo tablespoonl'uls of ground mus
tard in a quart of luke-warm water. After
vomiting has taken place, sm'e a teaspoouful
of sulphur or a wine'a of soapsuds. If
with sugar of lead or white lead, use the
mustard water already given to produce
vomiting, and tifter, a tcaspoonful of ep
Bom salts dissolved in water every forty
five minutes.
Corrosive Sublimate. Give to a person
poisoned lv corrosive sublimate, white
and red precipitate or calomel, white of
eggs, mnk or wheat flour, beaten up in as
great quantities as the person can take,
during ten minutes, and then give mustard
water as stated abovo.
Nitrate of Silver. Give to a person
Kisoned by nitrate of silver or lunar caus
tic, table salt, two teaspoonful in a pint
of water, then castor oil.
Strychnine. Give to a person poisoned
by either strychnine, nux vomica, opium,
laudanum, paregoric, morphine, belladon
na or crotou oil, an emetic of mustard and
warm water, followed by a drink made of
vinegar and sweet oii.
Distilling Light from Fat.
At the regular weekly meeting of the
New York Polytechnic Society, at the
Cooper Institute, Ernst Schoenrock ex
plained briefly a new system of gas light
ing. The system was invented by Julius
Pintsrh, and is adapted especially to the
lighting of railway carriages, large build
ings, ami floating buoys. The gas is dis
tilled from fat or petroleum refuse, is very
rich and brilliant, and the cost is very far
below that of coal gas. The advantages
claimed for it are due to the. peculiar
method of manufacture by the lurnacea
deFigned by Mr. Pintsch. The gas is dry
and permanent, without moisture or sedi
ment, and it suffers no loss by condensa
tion in the pipes. It has been used tor
several years in Europe, on the principal
railroads of England,' Russia and Ger
many. Between 6,000 and 8,000 cars on
these roads have been provided with the
gas, and it is used also in the saloon-carriages
of the Emperors of Russia and
Germany, and in that of the Prince of
Wales. It has been adopted on the whole
line by the Directors of the Metropolitan,
Underground Railway of London. It is
used iu a compressed form, and on rail
road cars is contained in iron tanks or
cylinders attached to the liottom of tho
cars. Its use is not dangerous, the gas be
ing subjected only to a pressure of ninety
pounds to the square inch, and is not ex
plosive. The supply is controlled by a
clelioato regulator, which maintains a
iteady arid regular flame in the lamp.
Dr. Glynnr whose name is still remem
bered in Cambridge, being one day in at
tendance on a lady in the quality of her
physician, took the liberty of lecturing
her on the impropriety of eating cucum
bers, of which she waa immoderately fond,
and gave her the following rece-ipe for
dressuig them: 4Peel the cucjumber,"
said the doctor, ''with great care; then cut
it into very thin slices, pepper and salt it
well, and then throw it away."
From the computations of authorities, it
appears that London (with all its suburbs)
covers within the fifteen miles' radius of
Charing Cross nearly 700 square miles. It
numbers within these boundaries over
4,000,000 inhabitants. It contains more
country-born persons than the counties of
Devon and Gloucester combined, or 37
per cent of its entire population. Every
lour minutes a birth takes place in the
metropolis, and every six minutes a death.
Witluu the circle already named there arc
added to the population 203 persons ev
ery day and 75,000 annually. London
has 7,000 miles of streets, and on an aver
age twenty-eight miles of new streets are
opened and 9,000 new houses built every
year. One thousand vessels and 9,000
sailors are in its port every day.
