No More Laws.
Some of our exchanges aro raising
the new County Commissioner boom;
tuat is that new re-districting and an
utire new set of officeis are contem
plated by the present revised law.
We think there was no such inten
tion by the law-makers, as tho clause
in which the only words occur that
could gire rise to such an opinion ar
in the article on new Counties and
moreover, this whole revision business
wa3 intended and should have been to
simplify and codifr existing laws and
not to invent new and radical changes.
Everlasting uncertainty and constant
alteration nas ueen tne rate- or poor
Nebraska in regard to her civil and
criminal code and it is time the brake
was put on strong.

The temperance column gives no
tice of a public meeting to be held in
the interests of the reading room. We
hope it will bo well attended. The
citizens of the town ou'ht to take it
heartily in hand and make it one of
the institutious and most creditable
ones of the town. Some years ago we
visited old Concord, Mass., the homo
of Emerson, Thoreau Hawthorne and
other of the giant intellects of the
country. Right in the center of the
town was a iovely little building which
contained tho public library. The
foundation of this library had been
laid, we found, far back in the annals
of the town, which now is one of tho
most cultured on tho continent, and
tho names of many of whoss citizens
are known the length and broadth of
the land. The building was donated
by one of Concord's citizens, and vari
ous alcoves in it are named for otner
citizens who have given liberally to
tne Horary. What a bright record it
would make for Plattsmouth if one or
two of our citizens who are well able
would donate a lot and a building;
around this nucleus would grow aa in
stitution which would eventually be,
as was the library of Concord, the
pride of the town, and the information
gained from its resources would help
to make of our growing youth, bright
intellects which might take a high
stand among the foremost men of the
State and country.
"Perpendicular Drinks.'
We recently heard a small party of
persons earnestly objecting to "per
pendicular urinKs- as calculated to
promote intemperance and encourage
the drinking usages of society, but the
yery next day at dinner this very same
party of four had their "lager" un
corked, poured into their glasses, and
each drank, saying to one another.
-uere a good health." The plea for
drinking it was that the family doctor
said it would give "strength." The
party was seeking health and strength
at one of the popular summer resorts.
And this is a fair specimen of the
way the average American treats the
whole liquor-question. Seeing tho
wide waste and desolation which
comes from the drinking of alcoholic
beverages, they honestly feel that
something must be done, and so "per
pendicular drinks," treating, drunken
ness, etc., must be condemned; and
yet the very next minute they patron
ize the liquor-seller and publicly drink
the drunkard's drink, all under the
shadow of the doctor's wing, pleading
ill-health, weakness, dyspepsia, and the
lite.
T- A
uesiaes setting a wrong and perm
cious example, and throwing tho whole
weight of their influence iu favor of
the drinking usages of society, they
take into their system that which not
only does them no good but which
does positive and decided harm. The

ing these facts. The results of recent
tcientihc investigations of Dr. Rich
ardson and a host of others aro pub-
iisneo, and can ue procured as easily

ami mo urunnenness, want and misery
wmcu ionow in tne train of moderate
drinking, will never be put down so
long as the delusion exists so widely
in relation to the use of alcohol as a
medicine. Tho Woman's Christian
Temporanco Unions of the land do
wisely in circulating works which
show tho nature and effects of alcohol
This strikes at tho root of the trouble
1 hose books and tracts which relate
to this branch of tho question, should
be circulated in all parts of the land.
Temperance Advocate.
Mr. Wright: Sir .In reply
your interrogations I will answer:
First The reason "these" people
did not stop at Fast Nebraska City,
(your understanding to the contrary
notwithstanding,) I knew nothing of
such a desire on their (the refugee's)
part and we had no request from Neb.
City for them, and therefore it was
not their destination. I could have
saved money in so shipping them, had
I known they wanted to go and that
Nebraska City wanted them.
"Why were they left at East riatta
mouth ?" Because tho Rail Road Co.
refused to transport them across the
river without the consent of the "good
people" of Plattsmouth, which consent
was withheld.
Second. -'If they were to bo left at
East Plattsmouth, why did you not
notify the authorities of Mills County,
Iowa?" Recause they were not to be
left there. Supposing the good "people
of the goodly City of Plattsmouth," as
they had invited these people
would willingly permit them to cross
the river, and then care fct them un
til they could be able to find employ
ment. Third. "Why did you not come in
advance and make preparation for
them?" (John the Baptist like.) It was
not my duty to do so; These people
At si ...
are mrown upon us nere, without a
moments warning. I am not an au
thorized agent for them; when they
come here poor and helpless I feel it a
duty to do all I can for them; we have
no regular Relief Committee at this
place. At Wyandotte they have, but
we have none. The citizens of Wyan
dotte refuse to allow them to land on
their shore, and they are compelled to
land in Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. A. W. Armour, (President of the
Stock Exchange Rank.) and myself,
are the only persons who have taken
any interest in these people whatever,
and since the first of May we have fed
and shipped over 1,700. Every place
in this vicinity is crowded, there be
ing no chance for them to labor.
Therefore whenever wo have heard of
a place, we have tried to send them.
You have giveu three days of hard la
bor to try and relieve their wants, but
I gave four months, yes live, besides
the means I have contributed.
I have heard the sad tale of want
and danger they havo told and I could
not stop. I left them to see if by go
ing to Omaha I could get thein trans
portated. The morning I left, I gave
them threojiundred loaves of "baker's
bread," they had two hundred pounds
of meat on the freight car with their
things; the two hundred and fifty lbs..
of meal was in addition fo thi. As
for my "table" there has beon whole
days that I have been unable to get to
my "table" (to even gut ' Indian meal")

held a picnic at Stucker's grove, on
Thursday, July 31st,under the auspices
of the Superintendent, Mrs. Wisewell.
Prof. E. A. Ashmun, of Weeping
Water, and Hon. K. B. Windham, of
Plattsmouth were speakers of the oc
casion, the former made a splendid
speech, while tho latter is too weli
known to be commented on.
Miss Grace Clisbe and Miss Iteed
presided at the organ, aud, of course
did splendidly. Silas McClellan dished
up the lemonade and little Sherman
Stuckor superiitended the swings, and
from the amount of smiling that was
done wo presume all hands enjoyed
themsclvos.
1'iMf. Ashmun departs this week for
Xew Haven, Connecticut, for tho pur
pose of beginniag a course in Theol-
i gy. As our teacher and friend we can- !
not but Late to bid him adieu. A tru
er gentleman and more manly than he,
is seldom found; a fact which causes
the good wishes of all to go with him.

What Tou Should Do.
Bvjonx b. oui;h.
I can wot help thinking that if there
was a little more individual work, a
little more moral courage in the world
to save men, the world would not be
so much of a wreck as it is to-day. If
you saw that a friend, a brother, was
taking a wrong course, what would
you do ? v ould your merely say : "Dear,
uear, dean now painrul it is that so
many men are going wrong. Just as
euro as he continues that course ho is
a lost man; but he will ?r dear. dear.
aeari ana when you hear the des
pairing cry coming up from tho depths,
add, -I told you so!"Xov, what should
you do? Should you not lay your hand
on him and say : -My friend, you are
goiag wrontr?" "What if he swears at
you? Never mind; save him if yon
can. Many a man hasn't got so far
from your sympathy but that one word
kindly said in his ear, "My friend vou
are going wrong," will check him.
Tho ditficulty is that wo let men go
so far from our sympathy that we can
hot reach them. Now, it is this indi
vidual work that I believe is to reform
the world, and bring it back to God.

About two weeks ago had two days
of hot winds, caused corn, &c, to dry
up some. A good rain soon followed,
which straightened things up, then for
some eight or ten days we had daily
lations ot rain, tne consequence is,
there is great danger of our having

What a Glass of Wine Did.
Tho Duke of Orleans was tho eldest
son of King Louis Phillippe and inher
ilor of whatever rights his father could
ii.ius.inu. nts was a verv noule youiiff
man physically noble. His generous
qualities had made him universally
. i . j . . . . .. .
I'upmar. una morning ne invited a
few of his his companions to breakfast,
as he was about to depart from Paris
to join his regiment. In the convivi
ality of the hour he drank a little too
much wine. He did not become intox
icated; he was not in any respect a
dissipated roan; his character was lof
ty and noble; but in that joyous hour
ho drank just one glass too much. In
taking the parting clas? he slishtlv lost
tho balance of his body and mind.
Bidding adieu to his companions, he
entered his carriage; but for tho one
gVs3 of wino he would havo kept his
seat, lie leaped from his carnage;
but for that one glass of wine he would
have alighted on his feet. His bead
struck the pavement. Senseless and
bleeding he was taken into a beer shop
near by, and died. That extra glass of
wine overthrew the Orleans dynasty,
confiscated their property of one hun
dred millions of dollars, and sent the
whole family into exile.

Lots of sickness, and our doctors are
happy. Mr. Evans, living south of
town, received some slight injuries by
coming too closely in contact with a
cow s heels. Hank Hubbard has im
poried a lot of necrroes from Nebraska
City. Hank thinks that by keeping
mem ousy in the corn field he can
bleach them out a little, he had acrreat
deal of trouble with his mules oa the
way home from the City. Mules are
stubborn creatures and its of no use
arguing with them. Will Dunn
has left us and so has Butler, and
oh! L.F. Reed has been un

Nearly every place in the county
seems to bo represented in tho Her

lege of sending your many readers a
few inkling lines or brief items.
Crops were never better in this vicin
ity than at the present writing. Small
grain is about all stacked; the thresh
ing of it is commencing quite rapidly;
what has been threshed yields well and
is good in quality; the average of
wheat will probably be from 15 to 20
bashels per acre. Mr. Jared Graham
has a large held that he thinks wil
make over 20 bushels considerably.

crop in this neighborhood can't be beat
anywhere else; tho acreage is large.

nothing befalls it from this onward.
Mr. Geo. Adams i3 building a large
barn to hold his enormous crop, that
he expects to gather the coming fall.
We can't give the dimensions of his
barn now, but we understand ho has
50,000 feet of lumber ordered and part
already on the ground to build it.
rretty large barn for a Cass county
farmer, but then you must know Mr.
Adams is one of our largest and the
most industrious farmers that we
have. Ho has also a negro family in
his empio, that was sent to Platts

industrious people.
.Mr. Corbet has lately been making
some improvements by repairing his

camped on all sides, after filling all our

ter investment than 10 per cent.
