Land Sales.
We have reliable informatics of a late
cate.fronj Washington, that iheL&siDs;
pareat has determined to have a pub
lic sale of lands in Nebraska and Kansas'
tins season. The sales in Nebraska will
take place in September. We are glad the
ealesin thisTerritory have been so delayed
as to give us the, benefit of the present sea
son's emigration. - Great credit is due our
worthy Delegate, Hon. Fxxsra Fcbgcs
ox, for hisrontinued and thus far, success
ful, efforts in behalf of the actual settlers.
,We are confident his course will give gen
eral satisfaction.
The Ddkotah City Herald of ihe 17th
reads cs a lecture for copying into the
' Advertiser, a few weeks since, a para
graph from the New Orleans Picayune,
: "Extravagance" of the Territories." The
Herald misrepresents us we trust unin
tentionally when it insinuates that we
'"charge extravagance upon the people ojiht
Territory. r We complain, . and justly we
contend, of non-resident interfering specu-
laiors who have never had aT permanent
residence among us, nor think cf having.
Just such men, Mr. Howard, as you mean
when j'ou say,"A man from Louisiana or
: Mississippi is appointed a'dfebursing agent
-of some kind in the Territory, and in
some way squanders the funds with which
-he is entrusted, so that the end for which
it was designed is not accomplished, and
then goes home with a "fortune in his
'breeches pocket." . " " .'

' -We7," like other newspaper editors, fre-
Tjyenny give passing notices to new towns
just laid put. But when we come to speak
l towns that are, towns, ' and of. which
-there is something visible, we "endea or
6 confine,"ourselves to ' tne ' facts in the
tase: , Most people 'in jhis .region are
i. ware,' that we have - a town in this coun
ty by the name of Peru.- Yet we venture
ihsr assertionv -few who have-not been
tEere recently, have any idea of the pro
t gtess this., truly thriving young city has
Vnade of latev We passed through it last
week and must confess ourselves astonish
ed at "its growth'. Where four months;
ego,-were but . four houses,' now' are
twentyrcne neat frame buildings already, :
and others going up in almost every di
rection. We were informed that con
tracts are now given out for the erection
of fifty additional buildings, to be com
pleted this season. Peru is situated di
rectly on'the bank of the Missouri river,
about half way between Brownville and
. Nebraska City ; is surrounded by a heavy
settled portion of the country, and cannot
fail to make, in a very short while, a place
of importance.- Its proprietors and in-
. . habitants are. all men of untiring ind us
try and perseverance. We may take oc
casion in a future article to speak more in
detail of Peru. ; '

Dear Furnas: Nothing of particular

A reception party was given him- on the
Monday following his arrival, :at which of

sition of the services of so learned and
able a jurist as the Chief of the Supreme
Tribunal of Nebraska ,': f ;
As a lawyer in the State of Iowa, he
had but few superiors, if any,' and.was
distinguished for success at the bar as a

with much judicial dignity, court being

Rachel and the Claque,
Among the curious letters-; which Mad
amoiselle Rachel had .reveiytd ;. in the
course of her theatrical carter 'was one
which she was fond of showing. She had
just created a new character in a modern
piece, and during the first evening was
i udly applauded. The next,, howtv r,
ihe thought her , reception ; was by, iio
means so warui, and she complained of it,
adding that the claque did not do its! duty.
She was informed that the head of the
illustrious body was ill at the moment,
and that he had been obliged io get his
place , temporarily, taken by a confrere
from a theatre on the Boulevards. This
latter personage, having heard the ccm
plainv wrote to the. great actress the fol
lowing justificatory tpistle:
'Mademoiselle: , I cannot remain un
der the obloquy of a reproach from such
lips as yours. The following is an au
thentic statement, of what really took
place.: t the first representation, I led
me aiiacK in person, no less than thirty
three; times. , We, had three accclama
tionsyfour hilarities, two thrilling 'move-
meius, tour renewals of applause, and two
indefinite explosions In fact, to such an
extent did we carry our applause. that the
occupants. of f the: stalls were .scandalized
and.icritd out 7a rorts. My men were
positively .exhausted with fatigue.and even
intimated to me. that they ;cou!d not again
go through with such an . evening. See
ing such to be the case, I applied for the
manuscript, and after, haying profoundly
studied the piece, I was : obliged to make
up my mind for the second t representa
don, to certain curtailments; in the service
jt my men, I, however, only applied them
to jvlju. and. if the" act interim office
