call and organization was effected, con
stitution and by-laws adopted and the
following officers elected: President.
Samuel Aughey; Vice-President, Dr.
Livingston, Leavitt Burnham, J. W.

ilia Clothes Didn't Fit IIIoi.
Yesterday as Policemen Norton and
Spears were walking down Tenth &t.,
they were called into a pawn shop by
the proprietor, who told them a suspicious-looking
character had just left a
new suit of clothes there, and had got
a quarter on them to go and get dinner
with, and that he would be back
soon. The policemen waited until he
returned. They questioned him and
he said be had bought the clothes in
Plattstnouth. As he did not tell a
very straight story he was taken to
the marshal's office. As the fellow
said he had purchased the clothes for
himself, he was compelled to try on
the coat, which was foun l to be sever
al sizes too large forhisn. . The police
concluded to hold him, as well as the
clothes which they believe to have
been stolen. Anybody having lost a
suit of clothes will do well to examine
this suit. The prisorer came from
Council Bluff3 Sunday night, and got
the clothes either there or at Platts
mouth. The above we clip from the Bee of
Tuesday. Looks as if some tra.iap
was at Wescott's the night ef tho fire.
Louisville Don't Like It.
Louisville, Neb., Jan. 31, 1830.
Ed. Ukrald: It is said "wonders
never cease;" and whatever faith I
may have previously had in the uld
adage has been very seusib'y strength
ened by recent developments within
our county.
I read in the County Commissioner's
Proceedings, in your issue of Jan. 20:
"Ordered that a hearing bd had en
March o, 1830. at 10 o'clock a. Ea on
the petition of-Patrick Bleasiagton,
for vacation of public road." 1 alao
read in "Lex's" letter from Louisville,"
in same issue, a rofereuce to what is
notoriously known all over the central
portion of this county as tho "Pauko
nin road." And therein is the wonder.
Wonder, that a population, equal to
some whole counties, must be, yea, can
be, year al ter year, harassed by one
man (or woman, either) over a piece
of road perhaps thirty rods lwng, and
cutting out one corner of a quarter
section, remote from anv improve
ments, other than breaking, probably
net to exceed one acre of tillable land,
and one to two acres of hazel brush,
which for any at present known pur
pose is entirely worthless, not even be
ing worth the taxes paid on it from
year to year. I say, harassed by one
man; for. there is no other than the
apparent owner of said land in all thi
vicinity who 1ihs any candid objections
to tho road, and I think I am safe in
Baying no one has any honest, well-de-fiaed
reason why said rond should not
remain where it is.
1 wonder that the County Commis
sioners, knowing, a.3 they must, the
many forms ef trouble this one man
has made, not only to the people and
traveling public in these parts, but to
the county officers as well, could be in
duced to grant a hearing to so weak a
petition as ten names, with a remon
6trauce of one hundred and fortv-tbrfee;
and I take eccasiou here to say that
those ten names were secured by im
portunity and treachery, the parties
signing the petition either because they
did not want to oppose an unpleasant
neighbor, or that they were made to
understand that his land had been tak
en without recompense; whereas the
tacts are, the road was regularly laid
out. the damages appraised by good,
disinterested men at $43, and the mon
ey was received by the parties claim
ing to own the land, and who have
been the cause of so much ado about
nothing, and imagined themselves so
much injured ; when, in fact, they hove
sustained no injury, and have been
paid for all the land that was taken.
Possibly there is a case being work
ed up by enemies of Louisville and
Weeping Water. Else why, after the
matter was supposed to have been set
tled, should a petition be got up, (se
cretly, as far as the general public ef
this vicinity i3 concerned,) with bare
ly a legal number of signers; a man di
rectly interested in poor roads for this
tewn, and good ones for a rival, ap
pointed as viewer; the probably paid
attorney of petitioner secretly going
out te see the ground, that he might
know how to best present hi? case to
the Commissioners (avowedly avoid
ing Louisville) ; and all done so slyly,
that no eno interested in holding the
road knew aught about it until the
County Clerk's notice, setting a day
for objections to be mad", was read in
the Herald, fortunately in time to
begin a defense.
There must be a nigger in the fence
somewhere. Our town is pestered with
several property owners, in and ad
joining, who oppose putting roads
where they can be comfortably travel
ed, but I predict that when we get a
road tax, enabling us to open roads,
they will "find sumtings out."
Hoping to see this in your next U
sne. although, perhaps, not a desirable
communication to publish. Tain, with
great respect, X. Y. Z.
Condiments In Poultry Diet,
Cayenne pepper, mustard or ginger,

Wheat Culture.
Wheat is one of the most extensively
growfc crops of the American farmer, and
its iopvitauce as a product ior export is
weii known, says D. livans, Jr., iu Ohio
i'anner. The acreage duvoted to wheat
cuuuro is siuipiy itunieni and greatly in
creasing, though th averaga yi:d per
a?r in soiu tedious t oar couimy
might be very inatvri&dy iacied, by a
belter selection of s-ed uad by more care
and attention to tna preparation of the
soii said tho harvesting of ths ciop. In
the selection of tho seed, due reference
"must be ciido to tha toil and the climate
of the particular section in which it is
planted owcd). Seed wheat, however,
saoald be changed ercry two yens, or at
the farthest eveiy turee years, especially
the white, beardless varieties. 'iliis Las
l'een our experience, aud no doubs that
of others, for we havo found it to be a de

though it b brought lioui a distance of

The Cost of Electric Lighting- In Park.
The report of M. Ccrncsaon to the Mu
nicipal Council of Paris, says the Scien
tific American, relative to tho experiments
that have there beea made ia electric
lighting, gives thelirst authoritative stste
meat of the cost of lighting by the Jab
lochkolT system. Three sources of ez
pcnss are involved iu electric lighting:
tlih power, the dynamo-machine and ths
lamp.
The engines employed in the Paris ex
periments were each of 20 honse power
driving Gramme generators. Each en
gine wss fouad capable of running 1C Jab
lochkoiT candles; or in other woi ds, each
can lie required for its successful opera
tion a force equivalent to 1.2G horse pow
er. Four engines and Grsmme genera
tors were nocetsary to the illumination ot
tUe Avenue de I'Opera. Ths unit of il
luminating power adopted was the light
produced by a Caicei lamp consuming 41
grammes of pure oil p?r hour. It was
fcrst ascertained that 10 gas burneis, each
usicg 140 litres of g-as ptx hour, are equiv
alent to 11 Csrcel lamps, whii a ainglo
JablocLkofT caudle is equal to 30 C arccls.
ilut, as it was found necessary fjr the dif
fusion of the latter to sLade it with an
opuliaa giobe, its illuminating power was,
practically, considerably below this stand
ard, beiag equal to only IS or i'O Carcels
when the horizontal rays were tested,
and to only ten or t-rralve when tha ob
lique vero under examination a very
meager result, indeed, "when compared
with the actual light generatad. The ul
timata comparative result arrived at was
th-.it oas Jaoiochkoa-candle is practically
equal to eiivea gas jets of tha ordinary
ca.i'oer used for street illumination. But
a comparison of tho figures of c st showed
that th amount of g& ued might be so
increased as 10 gi? an equivalent light
without incurring a fully equivalent ex
pense. When a burner consuming 200 liters of
gas per hour was used, it required only 7
to equal 1 electric candle. Electricians
hopg to diminish the waste consequent
-upon tho use of opaline globes, and M.
Clemsndot'ij invention that of using two
globes, tha one fitting loosely into the
other, and filling ths space between the
surfaces w ith powdered glass) has favora
bly impressed the scieatiiic mei. of Paris.
The particles of the thin layer of pow
dered glass appear to exicis a won
derful ditl'usive iniluence without materi
ally reducing the illuminating power.
The cost per hour of running the 02 can
dles used upon the Avenue de I'Opera is
thus stated by Levy, a competent engin
eer: Francs.
Motive force 3.20
Coal 6.64
Oil for lubrication 1.24
Cost of Superintendence 3.20
Sixty-two candies 81.00
Total.... 45J27
A calculation upon this basis shows tha
cost per hour cf running one Jablochoff
candle to be 73 centime, (about fourteen
and one-third cenU).

Temperance iu School.
Under the editorial "Topics of Time
in the February number of Scribner's
Monthly ia a timely and most excellent
article on Temperance Education
which, if read in a spirit of candor.can
not fail to commend itself te every
one. The subject is suggested by the
New York Board of Education having
recently voted to introduce into the
city schools Richardson's Temperance
Lesson Book. He recommends t .te
use of this special text-beok in all our
our schools until authors of text-books
on Physiology and Political Economy
shall give that place and space to this
subject which its importance demands.
He says:
There is, probably, no hallucination
bo obstinate as that which attributes
to alcoholic drink a certain virtue
which it never possessed. After all
the iniluence of the pulpit and the
press, after all the warning examples
of drunkenness and consequent destruc
tion, after all the testimony of science
and experieuce, there lingers in the
average mind an impression that there
is something good iu alcohol, even for
the healthy man. Boys and young
men do not shun the witie-cu? as a poi
soner of blood and thought, and the
most dangerous drug that they can
possibly handle; but they have an idea
that the temperance man is a fogy or
a foe to a free social life, whosa prac
tices are ascetic and whose warnings
are to be laughed at and disregarded.
Now, in alcohwl, ia its various forms,
we have a foe to the. hdmaa race, so
subtile and se powerful, that it de
stroys human beings by the million,
vitiates all the mental processes of
those who indulge in it, degrades mor
als, induces pauperism auj crime in
the superlative degree when cotaparod
with all ether causes, corrupts the
homes cf millions and makes hells of
theni, aed wastes the national resourc
es nio re- certainly and , severely than
war; yet so little have the writers up
on physiology aad political economy,
regarded this vital and economical fac
tor in human affairs, that the friends
of temperance have been obliged to
get up and push a special text-book
upon it:
It is a cruel thing to eesd a boy out
into the weild untaught that alcohol
in any form is lire and will certainly
burn him if he puts it hits his stom
ach. It is a cruel thing to educate a
boy in such a way tbat he has no ade
quate idea of the daujer3 that beset
his path. It is a raeati thing to send a
a boy out to take hU ,Iace in society,
without understanding the relations
of temperance to his own safety and
prosperity, tnd to tha safety and pros
perity of society. Of course, the great
barrier between the youth aad correct
knowledge, the great mystifier said
misleads, is respectable society.
Now, what we want to do in our
schools is to do away with the foicocf
a pernicious example, and a long-cherished
error, by making the children
thoroughly intelligent on this subject
of alcohol. They should be taught the
natural effect of alcwhol upon the pro
cesses of animal life. (1st.) They
should be taught that it can.add noth
ing whatever to the vital forces or to
the vital tissues, that it never eaters
into the elements of structure, and
that, in the healthy organism, it is al
ways a harden or a disturbing force.
(2nd.) They should bo taught that it
invariably disturbs the operation of
the brain, and that the mind can get
nothing from alcohol of help that is to
be relied upon. (3d.) They should be
taught thst alcohol inllames tho baser
passions, blunts the sensibilities, and
debases the feelings. (4th.) They
should he taught that an appetite for
dri.ik is certainly developed by those
who use it, which is dangerous to life,
destructive of health of body and peaca
of mind, and in millions of instances
ruinous to fortune and to all the high
interests of the bouI. (5lh.) They
should bo taught that the crime aad
pauperism of society llow as naturally
from alcohol as any effect whatever
naturally flows from its competent
cause. (Gth.) They should be taught
that drink is the responsible cause of
most of the poverty and waut of the
world. So long as six hundred mil
lion dollars are annually spent for
drink in this country, every ounce of
which has ever entered into the sum
of national wealth, having nothing to
shew for its cost but diseased stom
achs, degraded hemes, destroyed in
dustry, increased pauperism and ag
gravated crime, these boys should un
derstand the facts and be able to act
upon them in their Grst responsible
conduct.
The national wealth goes into the
ground. If we could onty manage to
bury it without having it pass thither
ward in a form of a poisonous fluid
through the inflamed bodies of our
neighbors and friends, "happy should
we be. But thi3 great abominable
curse dominates the world. The tramp
reminds us of it as he begs for a night's
lodging. The widow and the father
less tell us of it as they ask for bread.
It scowls upon us from the hovels and
hauats of the poor every where. Even
the clean, hard-working man of pros
perity cannet enjoy his earnings be
cause tha world is full of misery from
drink. The more thoroughly we can
instruct the young concerning this do
minating evil of our time, tha better
will it be for them and for the world.

liojs oi farms, like Loys in other places
want spending money, and are oftea
sorely troubled to obtain it. They scarce
ly like to ask their parents for muaey to
buy articles that please their fancy, and
they have few opportunities to work out,
for when teiguboricg farmers wish to
hire help there is plenty to work oa tho
farms where they belong. Their best
chance to earn money appear to be ia
cultivating some crop at home that re
quires small capital to engage ia, a, small
amount fo ti production, but which pro
duces a considerable amount of money.
The small fruits are excellent ia these re
spects. They may be set out at times
when tho soil is too wet to be worked to
good advantage, and may be cultivated at
odd hours when there is little to do in the
fields. They require but a small amouat
of land, and produce more mousy iroxa
aa acre than any farm crop.
Email fruits can generaliy be disposed
ef to better advantage ia country villages,
or evea among neighboring farmers, thaa
in large citiea, as Uiero is no expense for
packages, transportation, ot for selling.
The couttry boy cca take his own fruit to
his customers, sell it by measure and
pocket all the proceeds. As a rule small
liuils sell for more in the country than ia
the city, although they pus through sev
eral haudd in tua latter p;acs. Probably
the moat profitable fruits to raise are
strawberries and grapes, although black
berries and raspbeiT.es sell well ia their
ecaaon. As a rule, currants and goose
beiries arc not profitable, as most gardens
contain them. Strawberries oiler many
advantages over other small fruits. It
costs little to get a start with them. A
hundred plaais set out in a rich pice af
ter the bearing season will produce a
good crop the year ifier they aro trans
piaj:ed. Ko implements ars required
lor the cultivation except those fouad oa
every farm.
It takes bt a small patch of laud to
