A hot of 12 has been sentenced to twelve mouths imprisonment for advis ing farmers to boycott a cattle sale. It is hardly necessary to add that this was in Ireland. There are other countries.

"Who would have thought a few years, nay, a few months ago, that a w;:v.an with the least pretention to style would consent to draw a pair of green doves over her white hands. The advance re ports, that green gloves had "obtained" in Paris, and were to be accordingly sub mitted to our judgment, filled us with a feeling akin to horror. But the green gloves have come, been seen, and in a sense, they have conquered. One wily merchant, anxious to teat the Innovation, l-oldly divested one entire show-wiudo;v of its wealth of dainty tan, gray and softly tinted gloves, and filled it with glace kid and Suede gloves, running the gamut of tints from silvery green to un questionable grass shades. It will require J ' . ...'.. ovr.iav V 1 1 1 1 V I . J U 71 II til V 11 eyes to this striking hand gear; but, j meanwhile, it may be asserted that green gloves look by no means bad when adopted with soft all-white toilets that serve to temper their high color. Jum Table Talk. INCREASE OF STORMS AND FLOODS. Tha Northwestern Railroader puts forth a novel theory to account for an al leged increase of storms and floods in these latter years. It says that there are over oO.OOO locomotives in use in Xorth America: and that the vapor of these sent out into the atmosphere each week will , measure over 50,00).000,000 cubic yard?, j which must be returned as rain: or i 7,000,000.000 cubic yards a day quite rnough to produce rainfall every twenty four hours. Other non-condensing tcam engine add eight times ns much more; so that the total mass of vap"or discharg ed into the atmosphere must be each week more than 470,000,000,000 cubic yards. A few facts and figures.based on scien tific data, will ihow how much real water there is in that enormous quantity of vapor. It is evident that the loco motives and other steam engines in use in this country - can not convert into vapor any more water than they use; in other word., evaporation and precipita tion must be exactly equal. A single locomotive uses on an average 10,00 gallons of water a day. Multiplying by :J0.OO0 the number of locomotives in the country gives a total of 300,000,000 gallons consumed per day. If thev all run ."00 days per year the total yearly erapo-ation of water will be 1)0,000,000 000 gallons. Estimating the number of other nun condensing engines to be eight times as great in capacity, as the Ii'iil rowhr puts it, the grand aggregate of evaporation by all the steam engines of America amouuts to 810,000,000 (810 billions) gallons. That appears to be an immense volume of water; but it only equals the annual precipitation in two good sized counties in the regicn blesed by abundant rainfall at the figures will show. One inch of rain per square mile amounts to 14,500, 000 gallons. Forty inches is a fair an nual average of rainfall in the well-watered regions of the Mississippi Valley; and this gives a total of 580,000 000 gah Ions per square mile. Building the total product of steam evaporation by this sum, the result shows that it would fur nish ample irrigation for about 1,39m square miles of laud a little oyer 3s geographical townships. These figures show that the total prod ucts of artificial evaporation if spread out over the entire continent would be exceed ingly thin. We shall be obliged to depend upon solar energy to raise the vapors nec essary for the ample irrigation ol the soil. SO HE SOLID FACTS. collected on the county coukt house iidnd question by the isoaitd of trade and adddessed to the voters Plattsmottii, Neb., May 15, 1NS9. Thc county commissioners of Cass county having called an election to vote . for or against issuing $80,000 twenty-year court house bonds, we desire to lay the actual facts before everv property owner and voter in the county, relying upon their intelligent consideration of the same in casting their vote at the coming election, June Sth, 18S9. The total bonded indebtedness of the county is $100,000, These are the rail road bonds, and the interest has been paid as it accrued. The principal is due $20, 000 in June of .each of the yearsof ISwO-91-92-i3-94. Cash in the sinking fund to pay these bonds is now 50,000, and sufficient cash in the other funds to pay all current expenses. So the real indebt edness of the county is only $50,000 at the present time Total valuation county, 18S8, $4,743,779, Valuation of Plattsmouth City and Precinct $1,287,191. Eighty thousand dollars at .5 per cent will cost annually, $4,000. Nine-tenths of one mill on the total valnation will raise $4,2G7, More than sufficient to pay the interest on the boua. The average valuation on eighty aere of land in the county as shown by the records is about $450, so that the owner of eighty acre-; :yould have to pay a court house tax of about 40 cents, ofie, each year. These figures are based on the 1 sS3 assessment. The valuation will 1e greater In ioSS, by possibly $300,000, and will increase largely each succeemng year. We believe that a new court house should be built, not only for the sake or building the same in our city but for the projection of the records of the county clerk, county treasurer, ccunty register, county judge and the clerk of the dis trict court, in all of which records almost every faroier and laud owner in the county is vitally interested, PLATTSMOUTH BOARD OF TRADE.

The First Whlto Me 11 to Vlit Liverpool Uay I'lijilea-sunt Vyi of Tebtlng Cour age The Huitkie Women Facts Cleaned from Ixird I.onmlalo'M Note Hook. The rejiorter took the note book and gleaned tho following facts: "On Aug. 2," writes Lord Lonsdale, "we determined to niako a trip to Liverpool bay. T iernuaded a Huskie to put on civilized clothes and to take out his 'taberettes,' with a view of dis guising himself. (The talierettes are two pieces of serjientine, shaped like buttons one very largo and one smalL Tho larger one is worn on the left of the under lip, close up to tho mouth, and the smaller one on tho other sile. The Indians prize them very hiirlily and valuo them at $50 each.) Tho clothes ho put on I haJ given him before hand as payment for guiding us to the Huskio settlement. As wo rounded the point into Liverpool bay I hoisted tho Union Jack and mv white ensisrii, and my man hoisted the Hudson Bay company's flag, and thus be decked wo sailed around tho point and into full view of tho wooden and canvas town of the riubkiewaux, distant about five miles. A ROYAL WELCOME. "Wo no sooner hove in sight than I saw with tho glasses all the Fluakies como flock ing down to tho beach. Four men put out in kiacks to meet us as an advance guard. Three of them were armed with bows and arrows and knives, and the fourth carried a fan. About 400 yards liehind them came fully 300 others. Wo could see that there was a great commotion among them. As we advanced so did tho kiacks, but when we were S00 yards from them they suddenly stopiJed paddling and would not como any nearer. 1 called and hailed, but all to no purpose. I saw they were distrustful, so I told our Iluskio to hail them. "As soon as ho spoke they recognized bis voice, and I halloed: 00-10-0111-0 (the nearest approach I can get to 6pelhng the chief's name), when they readily came up to us, followed by tho others. We were now about 100 yards from tho shore, and to take time I lowered the sail and mode the men pulL Our Iluskio now told them who and what I was, and made them a long speech, and seat them ofT to tell the others, which they instantly did, apparently in great glee. Wo went slowly on purpose, to give them a good chanco of having a talk with their pals. Thero were about 175 men and 250 women and children now wait ing for us to laud. Wo no sooner touched the beach than I jumped out and shook hands, having taken caro previously, however, to load my revolver and put it in my pocket. I shook hands with all tho men and tho chief. Tho chief was named Ta-wah-tsack and his sub Kagley. Tho former was a well built big man, with an active gait, diabolical countenance and fleshy eyelids, which left only tiny holes through which his black, ill tempered eyes peered. But ho was very civil and said ho was glad to see me. The mos quitoes k'vi-e 50 troublesome that I asked him to conduct me to tho 'Kishawa,' when he dis appeared, returning in two minutes arrayed in his robe of state and accompanied by his three wives, in similar array. He then led the way, aud Kagley, Billy and I followed iiim. Uilly stayed oaly a few moments in tho council chamber, as the atmosphere did not seem to suit him. "After waiting a fvjr minutes about seven ty or eighty natives arrived, all in their best clothes and be. Is. Kagley and our friend (whom I was now told were the councilors, and more, respected than the present chiei) then came in in very smart clothes. When the room was full the chief made a speech, to which all listened with marked attention. Ho told them (so I learned through our inter preter, himself a Huskie, taken from his tribe when a boy by the Hudson Bay company) that the chief told them to welcome us; that we were tho drst white men who had cw.r visited them. He had heard that white men were brave, 'but if they are so brave,' con tinued he, 'how is it that they have not come to ns before? Still, said he, 4I think t!;oy mast be brave, and wo will try t'ueiu.' They then showed us how a man was killed by them. Four men seized tho victim. Two held him by the shoulders, another placed his hands against his back and the fourth pulled his bend back, when another man would draw a knife across his throat, and all was over." CAPTURING THE WHALES. The Huskies then tried to intimidate Lord Lonsualo by rushing at him With their knives and then putting their hands over his heart to feel it beat. "While in the middle of this in teresting performance," said Lord Lonsdale, "we heard a man calling 'Hoo-roo-e-e-ooo!' (or that is what it sounded liko to me), which immediately threw everybody into conf usion. Everybody rushed out, and the chief called upon me to follow. Tho interpreter told mo we were going to a whale hunt. the cry siiu came at intervals, and J found out afterward it came from senti nels who had been placed to watch for the coming of the white whale. The Indians wait until they como into the shallows, and then attack them. "The chie put his two young wives and myself into an 0-me-ach (a large flat bot tomed boat made out whale skins), and wo rowed in the direction of the cry. The wo men are not allowed to put their foot into a kiack, because of an Indian superstition which ftvs that the art of hunting leaves the man 'h.q owns the kiack if such a thing should Lippen. "We all rounded the corner in silence and ?!ere, moving uo toward the shallows, were ten white whafes. The Indians in their ki acks extended in skirmishing order, at the same time keeping up a rolling sound with their mouths and splashing the water. "The whales were gradually driven into shoal water, and then began the attack, hirst one. man in his kiauk wouid make a rush forward and drive in his harpoon, and then another would follow suit Each har- oou has a bladder filled with air attached to tho end, so it will float if it should fall out of the whale. The line and order kept by tho Indians was sometlung wonderful. They i,&yor got in each other's way, and no two men would ever make a rush' tor the same whale. Each man carried but one harpoon., oud when these were all exhausted they attacked the mammals with their spears. When they were all killed they resembled porcupines more than anything else. .'Tha woman's mrt of the work then came in. They first gathered up all the harpoons and then pulled out all the spears. As each spear was withdrawn a blow pipe was pushed juto the wound and the men blew into i, after which the ppeping was tied up. When every wound had been treated in this mmuiep the whale resembled a great windbag and floated high in the water. It was thus easily iowed oiuund opposite the village. "On our way 'back the natives were yefy quiet, as they said: 'If other whales are about aud we make a noise they will hear us and go back to the deep water. Whales hear well.'
