Thought so some time ago ourselves. Gov. Nance did grant the respite in the Schlenker case until July ISti, to give an opportunity for a re-hearing in the supreme court. The Grand Lodge of Masons of Ne braska meets at Lincoln Sunday, June 24th. The members ef standing com mittees meet the day previous. II anlan, the Canadian oarsman, was tke winner of the boat race at New-castle-on-Tyne, against Elliott. This makes him champion of America and England. The St. Louis Globe Democrat thinks the Grant movement can't be killed so eas'ly, as Grant has been killed several times since '71, but no funeral as yet. Ax illicit still of the capacity of three barrels a day was captured near York last week. The owner was a Mr. Stone, ostensibly a miller. The U. S. marshals will stone him, no doubt. Hon. E. K.

We hope the boys can make a success of it but Lincoln has gat an everslaugh f papers just now, sure. In another column will be found no tice of a great sale cf short horn cattle at Council Bluffs, on the 26th, from the herds of H.N. Wheeler, of Denison, Iowa, Mr. Orr, of Council Bluffs, and others. This will be a fine opportunity to procure thoroughbred cattle. The Elder Miller and the younger newspaper men of Lincoln and Omaha are having a round on transcendental ism, religion, test oaths, &c. How Mac Donagh would enjoy this if he were alive (in Neb.,) and help go for R. N. Miller; only mix a little temperance in nw, and you'vogot a good pot to boil Wasiiinoton telegram:, report the feeling between the hard-money demo crats and tl? Western and Southern inflationists as becoming very bitter. The more conservative men, like Thnr- man, Pendleton, McDonald and Wal lace, are kept very busy attempting to reconcile all differences and keep a sol id front to the enemy. But in the present state of.feelisg the task is not easy. "We had a conversation the other day with a Republican who was a red hot Greenbacker last fall, and in the course of his remarks he said. "I was a Greenbacker last fall, but I am not now. Tho action of the Democrats and Greenbackers in Congress has dis gusted me. Their silly howl about no troops at the polls is onough to disgust anybody. The federal troops have nev er yt prevented any man from voting ing as he pleased, and the course pur sued by the majority leads me to be lieve that their object is to carry the next Presidential election by fraud and intimidation. Globe-Journal. Returning from church, Sunday evening near Factoryvllle, the drivers of two wagons, filled with boys and girls got to racing. The head wagon, driven by young Girard, upset and threw his load out.

Kaiser William, of Germany, cel ebrated his Golden Wedding, June 11th and received 1,500 messages of congrat ulation, from all over the globe. A little group of citizens were discussing the whereabouts of the next National Republican Convention, the other day. Chicago had the majority, though St. Louis found a voice or two. Had Omaha any decent hotel accom modations we would have suggested that point. A tarty of visitors attended the exercises at the Deaf & Dumb Asy lum, Omaha, the other day. This is what the third grado mutes wrote on the black-board: 1 A man was afraid to of a large lion. 2 A man was led a nice pony. 3 Boys like to put in a bag. 4 A boy was pick upon a tall tree. 5 A large man was asleep on a bed.

Now, Bruff was not dead, and appealed to the Bee to restore him to life. The Bee found the woman, who explained that Bruff owed her and had fixed a day when he would pay if he was alive; as he did not pay she concluded he was dead, and so published him in the Bee. Bruff and the Bee people are angrv ; everybody else laughs. The Late Rains, Crop Prospects, Ac. Farmers say the late rains have helped the wheat after all, for while the straw will be short, the heads are going to fill. Corn looks splendid and unless a hail or some accident prevents there will be an immense crop. Failnre of Ohio Crops. Associated Tress I'Ujmteh. Cleveland, June 13. -The Leader this morning publishes reports frm nearly all the important points in northern Ohio and some places in west ern Pennsylvania, giving the condition of crops. The frosts of last week did vi ry little damage. There will be about a two-thirds crop of wheat. The pros pects are that the corn crop will be a failure, Ore cause of which is the lng dry weather which prevailed in this region previous to last week. Oats are somewhat better than corn, though not over a two-third crop. The hay crap will be very light, on account of the drought. There will probably be a fair yield of potatoes. Fruits, parti cularly apples, will be very light. The Appropriation Bills. the suttlemf.ntal rill. Special Telegram to The Inter Ocean. Washington. June 10. What is known as the supplemental appropria tion bill making prevision for the courts and the judicial branch of the government, was passed to-day by the Senate, and will go to the President, who will veto it because it contains what has once been vetoed, namely: The repeal of the test oath for jurors, and changes the law with reference to the drawing of juries, a virtual nullifi cation of the election laws. TO-MORROW THE ARMY ATTROTRIA- TION BILL, will be taken up the last of three, and it will be disposed of before ad journment oa Wednesday, so that Con gress can adjourn on Friday, except lor the veto, and the Democrats say It will adjourn on that day whether ov no.

Mr. Marquett delivered an interesting and excellent address at the Red Ribbon meeting on Monday night, as proof of the growing strength and popularity of the Temperance re formation, he read resolutions adopted by a late Brewers' Convention, claiming that the substituting of malt, for spir ituous liquors wuld advance the cause of Temperance. The speaker advised Mr. Dovey to add the " Brewer's tem perance society" to the list which he read at the opening of the meeting. We received the following item from South Bend for our column: Sunday, June 8th Mrs. B. Spurlock of Plattsmouth addressed a large con gregation of the citizens of South Bend. Her address received the clos est attention, and the moistened eyes gave evidence that the speaker has a power over the sympathies of her hear ers. Good seed was sown. The Past tor, Rev. Horace A. Ewell will preach upon temperance, June the 22d, (Sun day night.) " Come over into Mace donia and help us!" contributed. For "God, Home and "Native land," those words are significant and have a deep meaning. May God help us to teach our husbands, brothers and sons to give to us just what they require of us : sobriety, honesty, modesty and pur ity. The work of the W. C. T. U. is too well understood to need much expla nation. Never was there a time when so much was required at Woman's hands; when we had such need of strong earnest hearts. Roused by the crashing power of tho enemy of her home, she has come forth to battle, looking to God for direction, wisdom and strength, never to cease, until the last stronghold of the enemy is swept away. Maine. The Druggists' Liquor Bill, which has again been before the Legislature, and pressed by its friends as an enter ing wedge against the prohibitory law, has suffered an ignominous defeat. It was recently "indefinitely postponed" by the nouse by the dec'sive vote of 127 to 21. A bill for the repeal of the Prohibi tory Law of Vermont was defeated in the Lower House of the Legislature by a vote of 165 to 61. Noble Sentiments. As the late Maj. Gen. Dix advanced in years he began to appreciate the evils of intemperance. Shortly before his death he wrote the annexed busi ness note to agents in Chicago, who had charge of some real estate owned by the General in that city. We should be glad to publish similar letters from several thousand men who are renting buildings in which alchohol is sold. We wish thai every rumaeller's land lord would read this message and fol low the ex-Governor's example: "lam very glad you have allowed the Woodlawn house to remain vacant, instead of renting it for the sale of spirituous liquors. I would rather let it remain vacant to the end of time than to have it rented for such a pur pose. I consider rum the cause of nine-tenths of all the murdeis, poverty and crime in the country ; and no earth ly consideration would induce me to contribute in the remotest manner to its sale. JohnA.Pix. That the perils of travel by railway and steamer are greatly enhanced by strong drink there is no room for doubt. The Indianapolis & St. Louis Railroad has lately adopted a rule which will add very materially to the safety of those who have occasion to travel over it, and also, we doubt not, to the busi ness prosperity of the company. Au order, officially promulgated March 31, says: " The use of intoxicating liquors by employees of this company is ex pressly prohibited. llerealter any person in the employ ef this company who shall become intoxicated, or who shall be known to enter drinking-sa-loons for the purpose of obtaining li quor, will be promptly dismissed Irom the service. Any person now in the service of the company who canHot consistently comply with tins ordei is respectfully requested to resign." This is a praiseworthy precedent which every railway company in the country should follow both Irom business and eco nomic considerations, and as a meats of greater security for the traveling public.

Games of all kinds, also a Boughery dance. Come one, come all and see the Masque bareback riders. No pains or money will be spared to make it a success. The Turf Field and Farm, New York, gives our view of the Omaha races exactly. We reproduce their let ter: Omaha, Neb., May 30, 1S79. The peripatetic Splan, with his string of famous horses came down upon us "like the wolf on the fold," but bastily under the light of last night's silvery moon he "folded his tents, like the Arabs, and as quietly stole away." His visit here has not been a success, either in the amount of western wealth transferred to his purse, or in the amount of satisfaction he afforded to our people. Still there is no dunying that, without his horses, the Spring meeting of the Omaha Driving Asso ciation would have been a remarkably tame affair. The only satisfactory work done by any of his horses was by Adelaide yesterday, when she won the "free for all." making her best mile in 2:21), after losing the first two heats in 2:33, 2:S1J2- The attempts of Sweetzer and Colonel Lewis to beat Rams' best time on this track (2:11; were most disgraceful failures, the best time made in the five heats being 2:23j' by Sweetzer. Rarus was advertised to trot against time, to beat the best timo ever made on a half track, but Splan claims that he had hurt his foot, and was not in Condition, lie was howev er "exhibited" on the track, and allow ed to trot a lew times around, making one-half mile in 1:11, but many who came from a distance especially to see "Rarus the King" (as tho. programme reads), were giieviously disappointed, but they were rewarded by the sensa tional occurence of yesterday after noon, when everybody protested against everybody el.se, and horses were set back and heats declared dead with an equanimity that quite took away the breath of one accustomed to the quiet Eastern manner of judging races. I looked around to 6eo some Western "Colonel Ryndei s"rise up and threaten to come down' from the judges' stand and whip every driver on tho track if they did not attend to busi ness. Then in addition to these wordy collisions between drivers and judges, collisions between sulkys and collisions between runaway horses were not wanting. In the second heat of the 2:33 trot, Little Frank ran into Pilot's sulky and overturned it, throwing the driver out of his seat, and the horse quickly resolved himself into a run ning race, and a lively time for a few turns around the track, and running into several carriages before he could be checked. The driver was somewhat bruised and scratched, but not serious ly hurt. Pilot's sulky was not injured. Little Frank cut himself slightly, and tired himself in the runaway, and was not again brought on the track. Dur ing the second heat of the running race Lamartiae collided with Beach wood, unseating his rider, who fell heavily to the ground and received a severe kick from the heels of the vi cious brute.

California farmers complain that allag rieultural enterprise in that State 13 un profitable, because labor is higher now than fifteen years ago. Western NeLraska and North Western J&aasas. June ICtb, 1879. Ed. Herald: Having received ma ny inquiries from my friends in Cass about western Neb. and Northwestern Kansas, I have decided to scribble you a few lines, hoping a letter from an old friend and reader f your paper will be welcome. It is no exaggeration to pronounce this country as left by the hand of na ture most beautiful. The forest is re stricted to narrow fringes along tho streams the courses of which are thus defined as far as the eye can reach, while all between is a broad expanse of meadow lands, carpeted with a rich groen verdure, wearing the appearance of a graded lawn This may we'd be called the rolling prairie because the lan'Ts rise and falls in gentle swells which probably attain an elevation of from thirty to fifty feet, and then gra dually descending to the level. It seems almost impossible for any coun try to excel this in varied charts of pastoral scenery. The prairie is cov ered with beautiful wild flowers; that would do justice to the finest flower garden in the world. During our ram blcs we have never grown weary of sight seeing. "The smile of God rests upon this lovely land and everlasting benediction." A few days ago, we vis ited in Rooks Co., Kansas, a colony from Cass Co. Although they have been in their new homes a little over a year, we find them contented, pros perous and happy. There is very little Government land east of Red Willow Co. yet untaken and in Kansas very little east of Graham Co. Tho prospect for crops are good al though rain is needed in western Kan sas at this time. The school system in western Kansas is hardly equal to that of western Nebraska, and the towns of Neb. excel those of Kansas both in neatness and size, but the time will not be long till western Kansas and western Nebraska become promi nent parts of their respective states. Rest ectfully, Howard. CORRESPONDENCE. Items by the Way. I have been through Seward Co., of late. Crops look well there. Hoppers are hatched out some but net enough to do any harm. Tfie county has been voting R. R. bonds, which made quite an excitement. One of our Cass coun ty bojs i3 in the Seward county jail. 1 believe ne formerly lived near Rock Rluffs. He attacked a man in his field ; knocked hiin down with a piece of iron, cut an eight-inch gash from his forehead to his chin and sent his knife three inches iuto his side. The wound ed man is not 'expected to live. The authorities will not accept bail until it is known whether the wounded man will recover. Seward county seems to be trying to beat the state on sensa tions and the like. W. O. Eight Jlile (Jrovo Notes. Docior Root has been at Lincoln to attend the medical association that was held in that City. $ Mr. Win. Cunningham has fully re covered from a severe sickness, through tho skill and prompt attendance of Doctor Root, we congratulate. The school at Pleasant Ridge will continue for two more mouths, non resident scholars that wish to attend can all be accomodated. The Meeting of the "CAptain" at the Schoolhuuse, for consulting about a fourth of July Celebration was a fail ure. The good Templars' Society fiom abroad are trying to get permission of school board, to hold their meetings at the School house. Rev. Steinhardt of your City had a runaway in the country last Sunday, no bones broken. More Anon. Greenwood Notes. Ed. Herald: The citizens of this town are making gig antic preparations for celebrating the glorious Fourth of July. There will be a free circus. All the ponies and horses not otherwise engrged are undergoing a rigid train ing for the occasion. Speaking, toasts, music, games and pleasure will be the order of the day, "chops aud tomata sauce" will not be excepted. Messrs. Cline & Hanson have in course of construction a new back-action, double-seated and side-geared swing, in which on the Fourth of July they propose to swing every one and every one's girl, for the small sum of 10 cents No credit. We sincerely hope ye editor and his lady will come up and see us on the day ia question, and en joy such a celebration as only Green wood can get up. Crops never looked better. Farmers are greatly encouraged. Greenwood is flourishing like a green bay tree. Lots of hogs being shipped, and lots of money being received by the farm ers for them. C. B. Hackney i3 able to be on the streets again, but looks sickly yet. Argus. From South Bend. Ed. Herald: -Last week was a dull week in grain and stock, on account of heavy rains. Our town was flooded for a time. Croakers begin to predict a poor har vest, on account of too much wet. One of the B. & M. engineers is en gaged in surveying the P.'atte for our bridge. We expect to have it com pleted :u time to cross the grain now growing iu Sarpy county. Wm. O'Neal and his boy loaded sev eral cars with those magnificent stone from Sarpy county, crossed them over the Platte in a sail boat. They go to Crete. Good judges pronounce .them the best stone in the State. Uncle Jason Streight and his son Dick paid us a flying visit. Saw Rush Fellows' smiling counte nance on our streets Saturday. He was on his way to visit his sister, Mrs Wells. Come again when not in such a hurry. Don't want to fatter you, Mr. Her ald, but know your paper is gaining friends, as we often hear this remark: " McMurphy is getting up a splendid paper now, it is so newsy." T. W. Fountain, W. D. Hill anS C. II. Piiikham spent part of last week in Sarpy county, in the interest of the bridge. Our reestaurant man, Hoys, will be gin hi3 new hotel soon. O'Neal has the stone work contracted. We are sorry to announce the sick ness of Mr. and Mrs. Lansing'. babe, with inflammation of the bowels. "We would 1 i I - e to so arrange tilings that tho omcials of the 13. &.

Elder Webb preached to a crowded house last night, our folks are a church-going people. We hear this morning that Mr. Swee ney received some damage from the wind of Friday night, which unroofed his grainery and bier,' uown several fruit trees. We heard of no other damage thaiigh the wind blew a gala for some time. Gaily. Haunted 51 e. Debt, povery and suffering haunted me for years, caused by a sick faviily and large bilh fcr doctoring, which did no good. I was cor ipletely discourag ed, until one year ago, by the advice of my pastor, I procured Hop Bitters and commenced their use, and in one month we were all well, and none of us h'sve been sick a day since; and L want to say to all poor men, you can keep your families welT a year with Hop Bitters for less than one dactor's visit will cost.
