The Tribune F. M. & E. M. K1MMELL , Editors and Publishers. Official City and County Paper. DR. JULIDS GEUTH JR. , has been ap pointed State Veterinarian by Governor Dawes. "WAITING , ONLY WAITING , " is the impatient chirrup of the Democratic ex pectants , and the despairing wail of the offensive partisan Republican who ex pects to go. LONDON , the great and powerful Sod om and Gomorrah of the present , is be ing shaken from centre to circumfer ence by the disclosures of immorality in high places by the Pall Mall Gazette. A PAPER will shortly be issued from Trenton by A. S. Bosworth , late of the Culbertson Sun. As A. S. is a Simon- pure Democrat , it is fair to assume that the new paper will be bourbon in poli tics. THE Harlan County Times by H. 0. Chapman at Alma is upon our table. Also , the Kaleidoscope by K. H. Mont gomery at Cambridge. That Nebraska pulled through the grasshopper business all right is encouraging. "LIBERTY is dead in Utah , " is the burden of many of our exchangessince the insult offered to the stars and stripes on the 4th of July has become general ly known. About the next thing we will take pleasure in recording as being dead in Utah will be a number of Mormons. TUB London Jewish Chronicle , in an nouncing the intention of the Queen to create Sir Nathaniel M. de Rothschild a peer of the united kingdom , says : Sir Nathaniel will assume tho title of Lord Rothschild. His elevation to the house of lords not only confers personal honor on the recipient of the Queen's gracious favor , but also sheds lustre upon the en tire Jewish community. This creation of the first Jewish peer to England is one of the most significant of the acts of Mr. Gladstone , to whose advocacy in part it was due that Baron Rothschild , Sir Nathaniel's father , was eventually allowed to sit in the house of commons. To Mr. Gladstone , it will be remem bered , is also due the appointment of Sir George Jessel , first as solicitor gen eral and subsequently as master of the rolls. By the parliamentary oath amend ment bill , which received the royal as sent on May 1 , 1866 , Lord Rothschild will be enabled to take his seat among the peers of England without any dif ficulty in connection with the oath to be administered to him. THE following is a translation of a dispatch written by Publius Lentulus , President in Judea to the Roman Sen ate , concerning the Redeemer , the orig inal of which is preserved in the Vati- cian at Rome. "There hath appeared in these our days , and is at present living among us , in Judea , a man of singular virtue , whom they call Jesus Christ. Of the Jews he is accepted aud believed to be a great prophet of the truth ; but his own disciples adore him as being descended from the immortal God. He raiseth the dead to life , and cureth all manner of human maladies and diseases by the word or touch. "In stature he is tall and of perfect form ; his countenance and air sweet and reverent , such as the beholders may both love and fear ; his hair is of a color that would be difficult to describe some thing resembling the color of a ripe chestnut from the crown of his head to his ears , whence downward it is of tint or golden hue , and falls waving and curling into ringlets , and spreads itself into graceful profusion on his shoulders. In the centre , his hair is parted by a seam or a partition , and falls over each ear after the manner of the Nazcrines. His forehead is lofty and pale , and his face without a spot or wrinkle , beauti ful , with a slight tinge of comely com plexion. His nose and mouth nre for ed with the most admirable symmetry. His beard is thick and of the color of his hair ; not of any great length , and divided in the centre of his chin , taking nearly the form of a fork. His look in nocent and mature. His eyes blue , bril. liant and serenely beautiful. In reprov ing he is awful and majestic ; in admon ishing courteous , sweet , and friendly , and speaking or acting he is grave , tem perate , modest and wise. It cannot be remembered that any have erer seen him laugh , but many have seen him weep. In a word , he is a man , who , by his exceeding great beauty and di vine perfections , surpasseth the child ren of men. " Goodson Gazette. ' V THINGS look a little more warlike in that portion of Asia now interesting as the theatre of intrigue between England and Russia. The picture of the ameer of Afghanistan is a delightful oriental one that describes him as coolly pocket ing the subsidies or bribes offered him by each power , making the most liberal promises to both and intending to keep his engagements with neither. It is seldom that so thorough an example of eastern guile and western ingenuousness is offered to the gaze of a gibing world. The ameer is a con. con. man of mag nificent proportions , and the possessor of a gall unsurpassed in size and qual ity. Journal. An eastern daily promulgates the as tonishing , we might say , heart-rending information , that bangs will no longer be fashionable ; that the hair will now be more in a "bob" on the top of the head. It would seem that nature orig inally intended the hair to be worn on the head at any rate , and this is evi dently a return to "first principles. " The oracle further decrees , however , that time be given those wearing "fore- tops" to have the same grow long enough to conform with the new order of things , before they can be classed with the unfashionable those outofthe world. So there is some hope beyond. THE Arabians have a funeral custom of placing ten cents in the mouth of a corpse , to pay its passage over the river of death. If that is the price of fer riage it is an outrage , for a schooner can be purchased with half the amount. Culbertson Sun : Divorce proceedings have been instituted by Mrs. Louisa C. Williams against "Dr. " S. D. Williams , late of Trenton. The "doctor , " we un derstand , has hung out his shingle in McCook , and we look for an increase in the mortality rate of that town. E. M.

As this section is truly the garden spot of Great "West , and is generally known through out the state , we will not try to weave in ad vertising material , but will'simply notice such items as may be of interest to those having the general welfare of the community at heart. Wo understand that Vailton school closed on the 10th. John Hilton of Illinois is domiciled with his brother for a season. We also note the late arrival of Mr. Bopen- mirc , brother-in-law of Squire Hoyt. Mr. Speer of Saline county.can now be count ed as one of the substantial citizens of Vailton. Mr. Gambill has bored a number of wells here lately. John will find the"Invisiblo Platte" if anyone can. Mr. Canfleld and wife of Harvard have been visiting friends of "Auld Lang Syne" the guests of J. F. Megrue. There are some pretty large tracts of prairie opened up preparatory to extensive farming next season. Present crops look well. We could note a score of substantial settlers within a radius of a few miles of Vailton , but will not presume on your space now. Mr. Sprague , formerly of Guide Rock , this state , has located just south. His boy has been quite unwell the past month , but not serious as yet. We observe that the corn has nearly recov ered from the set-back it received from the hail visitation , this being partly in the hail- swept section. Miss Parks is spending the summer with her sister , Mrs. Williams , and has built a residence at the base of the rocky "El Capitan" over looking the majestic Driftwood. J. F. Megrue has lost three yearlings for some reason not well known , possibly black leg. Herd appears to be doing finely now , as do all the cattle in this section. Quite a large numberof promincntministers from abroad were present at the Council helc at Vailton on the 25th ult. Among them were Revs. Dungan , Dean , Mann , Hall , Buck and quite an ingathering generally. The founda tion of the Congregational church was then completed. Rev. Hall has been preaching reg ularly of late at the school house , and having met with quite a degree of encouragement , will probably continue. Ho is a faithful work er in the vineyard and is well recommended by the Council. Vailton , July 14th , 1885. RALPH. ROAD NOTICE.
