Capt. J'aine seems to have been

Thank God, the Democracy are
getting a dose of their own Medicine,
Miller wants to run things, Vifquain
ima rnmft nn like a Mushroom in the
night and claims precedence; and the
Democracy feel in their bones what
it is to be cursed with too many smart
men at once.
The readers of the Herald, who
have frequently asked what became of
the reDort of the Commissioners on
tho Treasurer, etc, . will Cud the con
clusion of the settlement and their
statement of funds, and all about it.
in the last report cf the Commission
ers' Proceedings in the Herald.
TnE Lincoln Journal at last hits the
truth when it says: "Whether the nom
ination f Gen. Grant is practicable
and expedient or not, it is not true
that the politicians are for Grant and
the people against him. It is nearer
.! truth to s:v that the majority of
nolitw'ians are azainst the General
and the mass of the people for him."
The Chinese Government is strongly
inclined to retaliate for our hostility to
their people and exclude all American
produce and shipping from Chinese
Ports. It would then be in order for
armed ships to force an entrance to Chi
nese harbors and compel them to trade
with us while we ignore their right to
settle and live here iu peace.
The Lincoln Journal thinks the
Tinmnpracv have made a mistake in
trying to swap Dr. Miller off for an
unknown leader: the County returns
from Conventions, as they come in,
show Miller delegates. Oh dear! well;
to use the illustrious G. L's own slang
we are for the "Under dog," if G.L. Mil
ler is on top, we're agin him, if he is
under we're for him. Anything to
beat Sammy and the bar'l.
The sditor of Scribner's Monthly
Magazine, desirous of stimulating the
industry of engraving upon wood,
which he thinks offers a much more
remuerative Meld of labor than other
branches of art, such as paiuting upon
porcelain, decorating, etc., has offered
three prizes of 3100. 875. and $50, for
the first, second and third best speci
mens of engraving sent to their office,
during the year 18S0, by pupils iu any
art-school, or under any private teach
er in the United States.
Gov. Nance wrete Senator Paddoc
asking as a personal favor that Mr.
Clapp, wf Plattsmouth, be appointed
mail agent Mr. Clapp will be remem
bered as the one who was premised the
position of steward at the Nebraska
hospital for the insane. We await de
velopments to see what Gov. Nance is
going to do to satisfy Drs. Root and
Hall. The Governor must not foiget
that there are two other factions in
Cass county that must be provided for
before he can get the assistance of
that county in the Senatorial race.
Send In the names. The boys are get
ting very anxious for something to
turn up! Lincoln Democrat.
Now where does the Democrat learn
33 maty things about Cass county ; we
can't find out half as much on Lan
caster. 'Pears to us we have heard of
Drs. Root and Hall but then what's
that to the Governor now. He's not a
candidate for the Senate. Ho has said
so lets of times.
Gn. Grant.
The City of Mexico with Gen. Qrant
and party aboard, sailed from Tampi
co Saturday, and should have arrived
in Galveston Monday. A severe storm
in the Gulf alarmed many and raised
the report that the General was lost,
but the steamer arrived safe and sound
on the 23d.
The New Paper.
A stylish U. P. freight car jumped
the crossing at Omaha last Saturday,
and brought us down a new newspa
per outfit. "The Platte Valley Demo
crat." from Columbus, and now of
Plattsmouth. Messrs. Wentworth &
Crites, proprietors. (Biles repudiates
it, we see.) They have a Potter Power
Press, and a very good office, we should
judge, and are located in the old Her
ald building.
'They have not made their first issue
yet; but it's supposed to be a regular
simon-pure, old-fashioned, straigbtout
Democrat, if anybody knows what that
is now-a-days, and it's fun to see how
tickled the old democrats are over the
fact that they are going, or thins they
are going to have a real newsaper with
a good office and a respectable head.
whom they believe in earnest, and hon
est in his convictions. They bristle pp
and say: "Met our editor, sir? Fine
man, real democrat, come and let me
introduce you. Or, "Seen otir paper
yet? Big outfit, just down here in the
old Herald office, come and see it"
And then, as they gaze on it, say : -Dem
ocratic Press, that, yes, sir I- we'll
show 'em now, eh?"
Well, that's business, boys ! Go it
while you're young. The Herald
hopes you have got a good paper, and
a good citizen and honest man to edit
it. That's all the bad luck we wish
you. Whoop her up lively !
The second issue of the paper comts
out this week, all O. K. The New
Press works like a charm, and the bolts
and nuts and screws are all found, the
monkey wrenches have crawled into
sight and the usual quiet of a well-or
dered Printing Office has succeeded the
"don't you forget it" and that
wrench of last week.
Now neighbors, friends and readers
of the Herald take hold and help us
to increase our list. A few moments
from each patron would secure a new
subscriber and double our list, and the
sooner we get that, the quicker we
shall increase size and matter of the
paper.
For the purpose of giving those
friendly to the paper a chance to do
thi3, we send out to Postmasters and
others sample copies of the Herald
this week, which please distribute, and
send along your new readers.
From Washington.
Col. E. J. Brooks Chief Clerk of the
Indian Bureau being investigated on
the Indian question, answered as fol
lows: Being asked whether the Poncas'
consent was given he replied: Hardly
sucii consent as I myself should wish
to be removed under.
Senator Dawes Am I to understand
that in your opinion consent of the
Poncas whb given to their removal.
ooi. urooKs i can uaraiy answer
that more definitely.
Dawes I think so mvsidf, but I did
not know but you might like to nut it
in some other language.
Witness 2o sir.
Question By what authority of law
then were the Ponca3 taken to the
Indian territory?
Answer If any under the general
authority residing in the president or
government as guardian of the Indians
and in view of the fact that the.r re
servation in Dakota had been given to
the bioux, and that congress had made
an appropriation for their removal to
Indian territory and to no other place.

A GROWING SENSATION.
Washington. March 18. The Chrin-
tiaucy divorce case is uiio of the lead
ing topics to-day ef social gossip, oc
cupying as prominent a place as did
the noted marriage several years ago.
Senator Christiancy's announcement
that he is coming home to sue for a
divorce in person, and at ucv, indi
cates an energetic condition of his
mind, notwithstanding his age and the
enervating atmosphere of Peru. He
comes charged with allegations against
the character of his wife, which she
pronounces the outgrowth of theciazy
jealousy of an old man with a young
wife. The trouble grew out of a re
port about a sum of money that was
to be paid Christiancy by Chandler as
A BONUS FOR niS RETIREMENT.
The money was to be paid to Mr.
Christiancy's son Henry. Henry is
Christiancy's favorite son who resides
in Detroit. It is said that Minister
Christiancy has made a will in Henry's
favor.
Mrs. Christiancy affirms that he has
upon several occasions actually knock
ed her down, and that upon other in
teresting occasions Mr. Christiancy
had varied the occasion by choking,
pinching, and slapping her.

es food. Oa the wall of his cell he has
scratched a diagram of the puzzle, to
which he devotes his attention iu his
calmer moments. - 1

THE GEORGIA SENATOR'S ALLEGED SON
Special Telegram to the Iuter-Ocea:-.
Washington, March 21. The Sun
day Capital contains a portrait of Tho
mas Benjamin Hill, thejountfster who
has caused tho Senator from Georgia
so much annoyance, and people have
been engaged in pointing out the re
semblance, real or fancied, to his al
leged father. Senator Hill is certainly
having a trying experience. The wo
man continues to spend her time in
places where Hill is accustomed to go,
and he has to have a policeman about
his house and about his committee
room to protect him. The mystery is
why he does hot carry out his threat
and iiave her arrested for blackmail.
She says she is anxious to confront hiM
in court. ..In an interview published
in the Capital te-day, she says: "What
has been published has made me so
ashamed that I have hardly left my
room. I never hare gone to the table
in the dining room. I am determined
now: I am in earnest, and will do
something now. I am tired of this
treat faf'ti.. When I went to the Capi
tol, two or three policemen came, and
stood near me. I expect thev thought
I would do something or other. I can
never see the Senator at tho Capitol
They watch for me so that he woul
know it immediately if I went there,
I told them I was going to his house
Friday afternoon, and tho word reach
ed the Senator's house before I did, for
when I got there there were two po
licemen in front f the house. They
did not stop me, and I walked up the
steps with the baby and rang the bell.
A young man came to the door, and
when lie saw who was there looked it
so I couldn't get in. The policemen
did not do anything. On of them
talked to mo very kindly, and t!d me
I had better go away. I told him that
the Senator did not dare have ni ar
rested."
CORRESPONDENCE.
Lnella Notes.
March 19, 1880.
ED. Herald: The sudden change
in the weather of late has added many
names to our sick list. Scarcely a
dwelling in our neighborhood but that
some of its inmates are ill. Among
those more snicusly nffiicted are Mr,
and Mrs. San ford Potlenger, Mrs. J. S.
Piner, Mrs. Geo. Hamilton, a son and
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Col
bert. Fortunately we have many kind
neighbors, who seem never to tire of
caring for the sick and encouraging
them with kind words.
We hear of quite a number of wed
dings that have come off, or are about
to take place; but as we are- not in
possession.of the facts we refrain from
naming the parties.
We are glad to see the pleasant face
of our old friend Laz Edgar among us
again. We understand that he and
wife have come back to Nebraska to
stay. We hope they may hud it to
their interest to locate in our vicinity,
Our esteemed friend and neighbor,
John Clark, we learn, is soon to leave
us for the West. We ai e sorry to lose
John and his estimable lady. We were
net so favorably impressed with him
on first acquaintance, as he is not one
of the gushing kind that overwhelm
you with their kindness at first sight;
but one of the more substantial kind
that wear, and the better you get ac
quainted the more you like them. The
liberal kindness of Mrs. Clark wins for
her the deserved praise of every out-.
We are sorry to see the columns of
the Herald used by some parties for
the purpose f venting their petty
spite. If any one has been wronged, or
tliero has been a crime committed, and
be, she or anybody else feels particu
larly called .upon to ventilate the mat
ter, let them come out with the facts
as they know them, and real names,
and not throw out insinuations under
the guise of a uom deplume. Often a
noise in the bush Mould lead us to
think there was a bear there, but on
closer examination it would prove to
be only (the) wind.
Thanks to the Herald for the ar
ticle on the "cramming and stuffing
business, indulged in at present by so
many newspapers and politicians. We
hope the voters of Cass County aud
the Slate will profit by such whole
some aud manly advice.
Our good opinion of the Inter-Ocean
politically, has been changed to sick
ening disgtut by tho stuffing policy
adopted by that paper. We are free to
say that we favor the nomination of
James G. Blaine, not that we think
him the ouly man iu the United States
that is fitted for the position, but one
who is eminently qualified and most
deserving of it at the hands of the
people; one whose services iu and out
of Congress, during the past few years,
have done as much toward fitting him
for so high a trust, as if he had been
hob-uwlbiug with kings, queens, em
perors and notables around the entire
world. We have no desire, however,
to stuff our choice down any ones
throat.
Since writing the above we learn
that Mr. and Mrs. Colbert have again
been afflicted by the death of another
boy. This death, coming as it does
while the wouud in thejr hearts, caus
ed by the death of Willie, is still bleed
ing, makes it doubly sad. They can be
assured of the heartfelt sympathy of
'their mauy friends and neighbors.

Three tiroves Items.
Ed. Herald: As I have neglected
to write for some time, and not notic
ing any items from this vicinity, I
hastily write a few inkling lines fi
publication,' in this week's issue, to in
form the readers of the Herald that
this neighborhood is among the living,
and enjoying prosperity as usual. I
suppose you have got that new print
ing press, that you have up there at
the Herald office, set up all right by
this time, so that it will take in bad
grammar, stalling and all. without any
trouble whatever, and fix it up all
right, and without very nnn-h assist
ance, either from ye editor.
The beautiful weather r aio hav
ing at present !is:a tendency to push
farm work' rapidly on. which has al
ready commenced. Not much wheat
sown as yet, however; the farmers are
clearing off their stock fields, aad pre
paring the soil to sow small grain when
the ground gets in good order, which
won't be very long if the weather cou
tiuues as it has been for the last three
r four days. There will be about the
usual amount of wheat sown in this
locality as in previous seasons. Some
think the winter wheat is mostly kill
ed, and will not be a very good crop.
Stock men are beginning to get the
blues, that is, those that have n't sold
on account of the bottom falling out
of he cattle market; notwithstanding,
their cattle seem to be doing better
this winter than heretofore. Those
who hold some time ago, look cheerful
and think they hit the nail on the head
this lime.
On Ttiesdav night of last week, while
coming from church, two of our neigh
borhood boys, in running their horses,
ran over a footman, wiio happened to
be in their way, knocking him down,
and coming' very near making a first-
class accident ; but as luck would have
it, no serious damage was done. The
boys were arrested and taken before
Mr. Archer, J. l of Rock Bluffs, and
fined &5 apiece, and costs, for running
horses on the public highway.
S. C. Patterson and Leroy Allison
have gone to Chicago with fat cattle;
they went on Saturday. Mrs. L. II
Young and her brother, J. II. Me
Broom, went East last wecrk to Fair-
mount, Illinois, on a visit for a few
weeks.
Rev. H. A. Ewell closed a protracted
meeting on .Sunday night last, at the
Hock Creek school house, which he
has been holding a w ek or more. Wa

Eight Mile Grove Notes,
Ed. Herald: Spring work on the
farm will begin in earnest this week,
f the weather is favorable.
Quite a number of "moves" have tak
en pl:.ce in the neighborhood during
the Spring, some desirable, while oth
ers are regretted. The removal of Mr.
A. Hull aud his family, from Pleasant

be regretted. He is a true Christian,
a good citizeu (Republican, of course),
and a kind neighbor. Success be with
him in his new homo.
The school at Pleasant Ridge, under
the- skillful direction of Frank Pierce,

Anecdote of Farragnt.
My father was sent down to New
Orleans with the little navy we had
then, to look after the treason of Burr,
I accompani(.d him as cabin boy. I
had some qualities that I thought made
a man of me. I could swear like an
old salt, could drink a stiff glass of
grog, as if I had doubled Cape Horn,
and could smoke like a locomotive; I
was great at cards, and fond of gam
ing in every shape. At the close f
dinner one day, my father turned eve
rybody out of the cabin, locked fiedoor,
and said to me: "David, what do you
meantobtiV" "I mean to follow the
sea," said I. "follow the seal yes, be a
poor, miserable drunken sailor before
the mast, kicked and cuffed about the
world, and die iu some fever hospital
hi a foreign clime." "No," said I, "I'll
tread the quarter-deck and command,
as you do." "No, David, no boy ever
trod the quarter-deck with such prin
ciples as you have, and such habits as
you exhibit. You will have to change
your whole course of life if you ever
become a man." My father left me
and went on deck. "A poor, miserable.
drunken sailor before the mast, kicked
and cuffed about the world, and die in
some fever hospital!" That's my fate,
is it? I will change my life, and change
it at once. I will never utter another
oath; I will never drink another drop
of intoxicating liquors; I will never
gamble. And as God is mv witness I
have kept these three vows to this
hour. Shortly after I became a chris
tian. That act settled my temporal,
as it settled my eternal destiny.
General Grant and Wiiie-Iliinkiiig.
A correspondent of the Chicago In
ter-Ocean, w ho journeyed with Gener
al Grant from San Francisco to Gale
na, writes : 1 he fact of General Grant s
total abstinence from wine or other
intoxicating liquors is one which has
attracted wide attention and comment.

furnished his car with no liquor of any
kind. On the Union Pacific we found
the car stocked with all kinds, but
General Grant always turned his
glass base upward. It is a subject up
on which any one would hesitate to
question General Grant, but it is the
conviction of all his friends, who have
ouen nearu his strong expressions up
on kindred moral uuestions. that in
the same unostentatious way in which
h" has given aid to other geod causes
he is offering to the cause of temper
ance the assistance of his example.
Tetal Abstinence in Washington.
Kev. Lyman Abbott.
Mrs. Haves iu the- White House has
never offered wine. Washington fol
lows her lead, aud I doubt whether
any State Capitol, not exefuding the
Capital of Maine, is a more thorough
ly temperance city than Washington
to-day. The exclusion of wines and
liquors from the capitol dates iiom the
days of Senator Wilson, but I judge
that public sentiment has grown
stronger, and thattheexclusiou is more
complete now than ever before. As
3-ou go to Capitol Hill along Pennsyl
vania avenue, you come to u liquor
shop with a sign extending out over
the sidewalk. On it are the werds:
The last chance." On the reverse
side, seen as you come back from the
capitol, are the vords: "Tho first
chance." Possibly a man who tinder
stands the appropriate signals can find
a chance for a drink at the House
or Senate restaurant; hut nothing
stronger than lager i.s drank publicly.
Within the last year Qm-cn Victoria
has given $25,000 to tho temperance
cause, l'our members of the royal
household are total abstainers.
It was a cause of honest pride to the
late Vice-President Wilson that he
could say, as he did once at Baltimore:
"I come from a race of men who drank,'
and I believe that drunkenness is in a
great measure hereditary. Yet I would
as soon put a cup of poison before my
iamuy, or uerore m? ieuow-mon as a
cup of wine. Whatever my faults I
thank God that no man in my coun
try staggered to a drunkard's grave
saying, 'Henry Wilson gave me my
first drink.'"
