I have been a reader of the IIkkai.d for years, but have never read much from this pait of Cass county so perhaps a line from here would lincl a placo in your columns. Notwithstanding the name we think that we occupy one of the finest portions of old Cass, situated us we are near South Hend on our north, Wabash and Elm wood on our south, Greenwood and Ash land west. As this is the time of year for picnics, will mention one we had here June iMth, it being the last day of our district school. At noon the scholars headed by their teacher, Miss Sallie Nicholson, marched from the school house to Mr. August Ilingon's fine grove where a large crowd h:id gathered and had eveything in readiness. A long table was loaded from one end to the other, with most everything good to cat, and we all did eat and were tilled, and there was plenty left. After dinner the literary exercises commenced. First, a song by the schol ars, after which there were declamations, singing, aud music; Then the distribution of presents to each scholar. Those that had head-marks were paid in cash, by the teacher, according to the amount of lead marks ranging from one to rhirty- ivc cents. The farewell address of Miss Nickolson was very touching. To say that all did well is hardly doing justice, t showed the great care and trainingand hard study of both teacher and scholars, and I wish to say here that it would be well for district boards to retain such teachers at almost any price, if they can. Instrumental music was furnished by the Crawford and Klerser families and the music was listened to by those present with delight. Thanks boys and girls, we hope to hear you again on many other such occasions. The singing, music and other amusements were kept up until nearly sun-down, when all went home feeling happy and that the day had been well spent. One That Was There. ROCK BLUFFS. We hear that Mr. Sullivan whose house burned down last Monday intends to build a new one soon. "Fides" has imiirrated atrain. this time from Plattsraouth to Rock Bluffs. lie staid two full weeks in Plattsniouth. The place for holding the celebration has been changed. The last decision ibices it in the grove near the post oilice. George Churchill is in luck again. A new girl called at his home a couple of weeks ago, with a claim forboard,clothcs and an education. lie can count him self in for a sixteen hundred dollar job when that claim is all paid. Just at present, picking peas for the canning factory, is giving employment to a good many boys and girls. David Young took out a whole wagon load this morning to his pea patch. Last Fri day he had about twenty-live hands. J. G. Chandler and Sherad Grayes, who s'old their store sometime ago to Charles and Los Graves, started two weeks ago in a prairie schooner for Ogalalla, Keith county, Neb., and the last heard from them they had stopped at Kearney to look around for a while. This is the sort of fun the farmers have: Will Koyal lost an extra good cow a snort time ago, with milk fever, and about the same time S. L. i urlong lost a good calf by its eating some posionous weed. David Churchill had a tine horse very badly cut on a barbed wire, so that he will not be able to use him for some time, and Sam Schwap had a 100 colt badly cut in the same way. Glenn Roval and Ella Churchill ended their long courtship last Sunday, by go- inf to the liock Creek Christian church and getting married. This is the second marriage the result of a leapyear fourth of Julv celebration in 18S4, and we are just holding our breath expecting every week when we snail nave to report an other one, the result of the same celebra tion. We hear there are a few that have escaped our observation. Tim'Shaver. MURRAY. Mr. Editor: I am glad to see yu came out so bold and spoke for your country as tou did about the rebel Hags. You spoke my sentiments exactly and thousands of others when you spoke your own. If Cleveland wants to show his great respect for the south and teach the northern people to honor the rebel flags, he will hnd, in 1SS3, that he, by his acts. has caused the good thinking people of the democratic party to dishonor him. C. W. Miller lias a new road opened up south of Murray. It starts from John Edwards and runs northwest. Mrs. Dr. Brcndel went to Indiana some two or three weeks ago to yisit her parents aud while there her father, who had been quite poorly for some tiuie.died, making her visit a sad one. Murray is still booming and intends to have an old-time 4th of July. Who the speakers will be I do not know but I ex pect L. G. Todd w ill lay olf his coat and wade in, for one, and if he-speaks it will be a better day for greenbackers than it will for those who wish to celebrate the 4th in its true light. Why does the democratic party stand such a good show for heaven when it dies ? It is because the good book tells us, "he that dieth full of the truth shall be saved." If that is true the democratic party cannot be lost for they must be full of the truth as they have never let any escape them in the history of the party. Corn crops are looking fine in this sec tion of the county. The prospects are that corn will not bring 10c. per bushel this fall, look out you poor, hark-work-ing democratic voters, things are coming down to the old democratic prices and you must expect to come down to the old democratic times 20 to 2oc. per day, or $5 to $S per month, and 130 days per month at that. Some time ago Dr. Hrendel went over to Des Moines, Iowa, to attend a medical institute. The doctor is a good hearted soul, and on3 who wishes to save both soul and body of mankind. He came in contact with the Salvation Army and says it was the greatest sight he ever saw. It is said that the doctor is thinking ol starting an army in Murrny. If he starts one here I will be sure to go for I do think it would be a show indeed to see the doctor on the stand preaching. Roving Boy. One of the most interesting machines used in the laundries at Troy is called a whiz.cr." It dries clothes by making 1,000 revolutions a minute. One of these days the whizzer will be introduced into the editorial room, and the bore who persists in talking while the editor is usy up to his ears will be invited to get into the whizzer and dry up. Yuma Man. Not Hid by Republicans. A correspondent of the Des Moines Register, having read Cleveland's letter in which he stated that the rebel Hags had been rolled up in a dusty attic "for years," thereby purposing to give out the impression that they had been placed there by a Republican administration, states the fact that the flags, with captur ed cannon, cavalry Huddles, pikes taken from John Brown's men at Harper's Fer ry, a tree stump, all shot into holes by rebels at Spottsylvania, and hundreds of other war mementoes, were on exhibition at Winder's building, at the corner of Seventeenth and F. streets, Washington, until Mr. Cleveland came into power, soon after which they disappeared. It was the democrats who hid the flags, and then when the people asked to see them, said they had been stored away "years ago," where they could not be got at. Babyland. He will surely enjoy the favor of both mothers and babies who invents another baby-play as available as "This little pig went to market, etc.," which is said a million times a year, while the happy mother counts the five little rosy toes to the music of baby's alternate suspense and ringing laughter. A well-known kindcrgartner has made, and Babyland prints, a series of nursery jingletales with running accompaniments of pictures and finger-2lay which mothers and babies go over together with equal delight. There are two set of pictures, one for the eyes aud one for the hands. The lat ter show how fingers can represent rab bits, pigs, mice, birds, flowers and clouds ui the sky. This series of baby-delight alone is enough to make the fortune of Babyland. But it isn't alone. There are puzzles so easy that baby can almost road them, and rhyni"s that sing themselves in her ear as she goes to sleep, and pleasant talcs to come again in her dreams. There is only one rich and beautiful Babyland. Send to D. Lothrop Com pany, Boston, five cents for a sample copy. The Kindergarten Association at its May meeting at Hartford recently set it self in a body at learning Finger-play, which by the way is just as good for babies at home as in a kindergarten. One can get some notion of what it is from this bit without pictures or music. TWO GREEDY PIGS. Tlgy Wi and Piggy Wee, Iluugry pigs as pifis could be. For their dinner had to wait Down behind the barn-yard gate. I'igjy Wig and Piggle Wee Climed the barn-yard Kate to see. Peeping through the gate so high. But no dinner could they spy. Tiggle Wis and Piggie Wee viot down sad as pigs could bs ; But the gate soon opened wide And they scampered forth, outside. Piggie Wig and Piggle Wee, What was their delight to see Dinner ready not lar off--Such a lull and tempting trough I Piggie Wig and Piggie Wee. Greedy pigs as pis could he, For their dinner ran pell-mell ; In the trough both piggies fell. Both mother and bady accompany the verses with finger-play. The thumbs are the pigs and the fingers the gate; and easy little movements of both keep np with the pigs in the story. The whole is pictured and fingered out in Babyland every month. A dozen such nursery jingles run through the year. BEECHE1 SENTENTIOUS WISDOM. A rartU olleetion of Proverb from P lymouth I'ulplt. Every fa; i should own a good farmer. A man never has good luck who has a bad wife. The masses against the classes, the world over. A man who does not love praise Is not a full man. A man must ask leave of Lis stoinoch to bo a happy man. It takes longerfor man to find out man than any other creuturo that is made. Flowers aro tho sweetest things that f Itvl ever made und forgot V) put a soul into. A mun without self restraint U likea barrel without hoops ami tumbles to pieces. Whoever makes homo seem to the young dearer und more happy is a public lene factor. The greatest event in a hen's Hfo Is inadu up of an egg ami a cackle. But bugles never cackle. A proud man is seldom a grateful man, for ho never thinks that he gets ua much us ho desorves. That cannot lo a healthy condition ir: which few prosper and tho great muss are drudges. Communities are blest in tho proportion in which money is diffused through tho whole rouge of population. (ambling with cards or dice or stocks is nil one thing it is getting money without giv ing an equivalent for it. Newspapers nro the srhoolmostors of tho common TKJople. That endless book, tho newspaper, is our national glory. One of tho original tendencies of tho hu man mind, fundamental and universal, is the lovo of other jieoplo's private affairs. This is a good world to sin in; but, so far as men aro concerned, it is a very hard world to repent in. It is a bitter world; it hi a cruel world. Toverty Is very good in poems, but It is very bad in a house. It is very good in maxims and in sermons, but it Is very bud in practical life. A cow is tho saint of tho barnyard. She could bo fat if she only would be selfish. But sho economizes beauty that she may bo pro fuse in milk. No city bred man has any business to ex pect satisfaction in a puro country life for two months uidcss ho has a geniiu for leisure and even laziness. Debt rolls a man over and over, binding him hand and foot and lotting him hang upon tho fatal mesh until the long legged interest devours him. Our government is built upon the vote. But votes that are purchasable are quick sands, and a government built on them stands upon corruption and revolution. A man is a great bundle of tooJi lie is bora into this life without tho kn6w?edge of how to use them. Education is the process of learning their use, and dangers and troubles aro God's whetstones with which to keep them sharp. Appleton's "Proverbs from Plymouth Pulpit." Biggest Ilalloon of All. Capt. Morton, the well known Birmingham aeronaut, is building a balloon which is to whip creation. It is to bo made in thirty sections, each sixty feet in length, and there is upward of 3,000 yards of sewing to be done by hand and machine. This fabric, which is being manufactured in France, is an intermixture of silk and cambric, and will be woven very strongly, but to woigk- as light as possible, Capt. Morton intends having it coated with a special preparation, consisting of the best India rubber, as he considers, after many years' experience, that it will bo better adapted in every way for ballooning purposes than tho old fashioned method of oiling. He also finds that it forms a perfect gas holder, and offers a better resistance to the element!. Tho valves will be improved upon, and will bo fitted with four powerful springs, thus keeping the shutters as close as possiblo to the plunge, and preventing a leakage of tho light gas. Tho netting, although light, will bo of great strength, and Messrs. Gorton & Sons, of Dudloy, will supply the materials, which will consist of tho finest Italian hemp. Capt. Morton expects to complete tho machine for Whit week, and hopes to arrange tor its ascent in Birmingham. He will uso it for hia voyago in August from Dover to France in the Channel balloon race. Boston Transcript. Spain's National Odor. I remember a charming French friend cf mine, who used now and again to give him self a treat of gigot stuffed with garlic; after which meal he would drink a few glasses cf tafia, smoko a ciyirette or two of corporal, and then call upon me and invariably kits me. His breath was attar of roses or es sence of bouquet compared to tho person cf an average Spaniard. By an extravagant and continuous consumption of garlic these people, men and women, get it into their skins. From their skins it passes into their clothes, so that they walk about in a small pei-sonal atmosphere of garlic indescribably Bickly and sickening. A Spanish gentleman remarked to me one day in a Madrid salon, while praising Eng lish women, their beauties, virtues, etc.: "There is only one fault I detected in them their skin has no perfume. When I kiss a Spanish lady's hand I smell that delicku3 national odor that we all adore; but an Eng lish lady's hand, though delicately white and soft, does not absolutely smell of anything." He missed, poor fellow, that taint of garlic. Madrid Letter. Poll Tax on Foreigners. There is some reason to believe, judging from the tone of Novoe Vremya and other leading Russian journals, that the tax on foreign residents in Russia, which these journals so strongly advocate, may shortly bo introduced by the govenillient. A report is current that this tax will be fixed at 160 gold rubles per annum, which makes about 235 rubles in the ordinary currency, or about 25. The effect of such an Impost would of course be to drive out of the country the more skilled and industrious artisans of foreign nationalities. Like tho foreign passport tax, it will act as another check to Russia's foreign commerce. If such a tax were limited to Vjo heads of foreign houses and agencies in Rus sia, there could be little or no objection to it. The English principals of such houses would, I am suro, agree in the justice of a limited measure of this description; but it is ex tremely short sighted to make it so sweeping in its application. Odessa Cor. London News. Pboto Matrimonial Souvenirs. A new charm or novelty will henceforth be associated with fashionable weddings. Mr. Rockwood, of Union square, has arranged to photograph wedding parties, bride, gsoem. clergyman and "best friends" at the house of the parties or at the church, before or after the ceremony, by a new adaptation of tho magnesium light. This is as good or better than a marriage certificate, and certainly an interesting souvenir of the event. Home Journal. . . ... , Mii.itaky 15iiotiikiuio(4 opens the July Outiuij and leads one naturally to the first article entitled "On tho March," a neat and vivid picture of a soldier' m ex periences. The paper is well illustrated by half a dozen clever pen and ink sketches by Itcmington. J. I. Caklkiov, of Jackson township, is in possession of a wonder in the form of a living two headed calf, now about two weeks old. One of the heads is fully provided with eyes nose, mouth, etc. and is in its proper position as regards the body, while the second head, which is minus the eyes, but has all other needed faculties, projects to one side. It eats with the principal head and breaths with the double aparatus. The strange animal seemes to be in possession of good life and vigor and bids fair to live to a good old age. It is a genuine wonder and Mr. (!arletoii has in it a good start toward a menagerie.- Warn n f'junty News, Iowa Dracc Up.

The late "volunteer organizations," as Cleveland terms the rebel armies, are not in existance, the rebel States are loyal States now, and conld not receive them, and any local or ganization that should receive one oi them would be tresonable just so far as it cared for and honored and taught th people to revere the treasonable rag. There is but one man in all America who could consistently and safely receive and care for them, the only unreconstructed rebel alive today, the one who can enact trenson and advocate it and yet live Jeff Davis.

In the center ol this hand some addition a T5) ot magnificent forest trees has been reserved for the use and pleasure of the city. Chicago and Lincoln avenues furnish the only circuitous drive out and into the city which avoid hills, and the level grade sug gests the early construction of our street railway to this locality, and to this end lib eral inducements will be offer ed. South Park is less than nine blocks from the business center of the city, and but a few rods from the great man ufacturing interests of the li. & M. railroad, thus making it a desirable residence locality. The proprietors of this ad dition propose to re-invest the proceeds of the sale of the first 100 lots, in choice residences, which will be offered lor sale on monthly payments. This will enhance the value of the lots purchased. Now is the time to invest, for permanent use or specula tion.
