There is a poet in St. Joseph who very evident ly d "es not like the tiltirg loop skirts about which ao much is being tali now j-days. Hear him: I saw her but, a moment, 'Twas in a "tilting skirt Dow prcti'.y she sailed along, The charming little flirt! I saw her but, a moment Ah ! ,twas a pretty sight To see her tread the crowded street With footsteps free ard light. I saw her but, a moment, Yet I swore by the "Old Harry," Tho' a pretty thing to look at, She would never do to narry I Tho' I saw her but, a coment, Yet I knew she was a flirt By the jaunty airs she put oa As she swung her tilting skirt. i JUST IN TIME. A TALE OF EARLY ILLINOIS "Good evening, Mell. Well, how do you do ?" "Tolerable, Jake ; how is your molb.. er V She's well how's yonrn V1 "Not very well, I'm sorry to ray ; for now, you see. I have to tote all the wa ter, wash all the dishes, and pail the cow. Oh! it's too much for me; I won't stand it much longer ; I'll have a home of my own, and then I'll do as I please. Jake, why don't you get married 1" "Shaw! I don't know, Mell; reckon it'sbecauael can't get no one to splice with me." "You've knowed better than that, ever since you've been ccmiu' to see me. I wish I had as good a chance as you've go! Though Jake was a backwoodsman. and they had the reputation of withstan ding everything, this last remark from lis fair companion brought a deap color o his swarthy cheek. "Law! what makes you turn so red?"' continued Mell, pointing her finger at him, and laughing bewitchingly. This made Jake only turn redder and redder. He seemed to be in the last stage of embarrassment; he tried to stammer out something, but could pro duce no sound that resembled a word of the English Unguege. At last after he had cooled off a little, and got his tongue and lips in wokmg order once more, he said: "Mell I swon, you're too bad to ac- puse me of turnin' red ! I'm no redder'n you. Law ! did I tell you what a great wolf-hunt I had yesterday?" No," she replied, with a sorrowful ook, which one might imagine was caus- eJ by untimely change of the subject No doubt she thought she was fetching him to a point ; and indeed it was time, or he had been courting her for two years, and as yet had not got ready, been willing, or found courage enough to pro pose. Mell was willing, perhaps too willing, and her patience was becoming very much werried. She had tried to pitas him in every way she could, but it made no diflereDee; and now, as a last resort, she had determined to bring him to the point at all hazards. After listen ing to 9. wonderful day's adventures among the wolves, to relate which took Jake about two hours, and agreeing that he had performed feats worthy of an In- d an, she began : Jake, you've been coming to see me for a long time." "Yes' said he. "We know one another well enough,'' ."Yes !" he ejclaimed, somewhat sur prised. -Then, any question you want to ax me, I'll answer correctly. " "But I have nothing to ax,", raid Jake. "What! been com in' to see me two years, and don't want to ai me apyhicg yet?' ?Not as I know on." !' Well, then, you needn't come again !" said she, angrily. "I'll marry Bill Ba ker, if he ever comes to see rne again. I sacked him for you, but it' is the last time." Jake flew iroto a passion, on hearing Bill Baker's name mentioned jumped pp, kicked the stool over, and broke home like a racer. Bill Baker soon heard the news, start ed over to his sisters to put on bis buck skin suit, and "lumbered for the neck of woods" where Mell lived. He found her as bright as ever put in hi3 claim, Tf a f and was directed to "ax dad and mam." For some cause or "other, the old folks were not willing ; but Mell and Bill were, so they fixed upon a plan to marry, any how. Bill went secretly to Mr. Isaac, got a license, and that night made off for Squire W 's. On their road to hap- pin?8, Jhovvsror, who should they meet but Jake ? He had got a hint cf what was going on, and he met them on pur pose, knowing precisely how the case lay. "Mell," said he, "I've fooled you, that is a fact, but I'm sorry for it ; but if you like me belter than Bill here, ji?t say so, and I'll be darned if I don't give him a ihunderiu' thrashin', and take his license, and the Squire shall marry us with them, right away." The old love was too strong for the new; and Mell lolde Jake to "pitch in They both pitched in, and such a fight as it was ! The brush broke, the dirt flew, the fists sounded, and skulls cracked in such a wav that had one teen within fifty yards, he would have taken it for a herd of buffaloes on a regular stampede. After fighting all over the hazel patch for about an hour, Bill cried enough. "Give me the license, then," said Jake. "No; darned if I do!" was tbe reply; and at it thev went ariain. This time 0 W they fought so long, that Mell got uneasy lest daylight should come before they got to the Squire's, which she knew would put an end to her marrying that day, as the Spuire would want to be out with his gun. However, after fighting alonar the road near half a mile, Bill again cried enough, "Give me the license !" shoutsd Jake. "No, unless you pay the dollar and bit they cost me. "Nary time," said Jake, beginning to pitch into him again. Feeling rather tired of such sport, Bill handed out the license. Jake thrust them in his shot-pouch, and taking Mell by the arm, said, "Now, come on, old gal now for the Squire's." They arrived at his Honor's about 8 o'clock in the morning, and Jake bawled out, " Hellow !" "Hellow yourself," said the Squire ; "who's there ?" A couple what whants to marry," said Juke. "Come in," said the man of the people who soon got all things ready for the ceremony. '.'What's yonr name?" he asked. Jake told him both their names, and handed him the license. "But these won't do," said the Squire, after spelling at them some time; "they hain't got your name on 'em ain't ac cord in' to law." "I dunno much about your law do in's," said Jake ; "but one thing I do know 1 had to thrash a feller like bla zes, to git them 'ar license ; and now ef ycu don't put us through with 'em I'll thrash you a darned sight wuss !" This was enough for the Squire, and, without any more ado, he pronounced them man and wife, and sent them home, the happies pair in the State of Illinois. A numerous old man fell in with an igoraut ajid rather impertinent young minister, who proceeded to inform the old gentleman, in very positive terms, that he could never reach heaven unless he was born again, and added : "I have experienced that change and now feel no anxiety." "Atd you have been born again ?" said his companion, musingly, "Yes, I tru I have." "Well,M said the old gentleman, eying him attentively, "I don't think it would hurt you to be born again, young man." A few years since, ladies were not so particular in covering their shoulders with high-necked dresses as at the pres ent time. At that period, a gentleman lost his heart to a lady who. led the fash ion. He told his mother, like a sensible man, and she gravely replied : ;My dear, you have not been ac quainted with the lady above a fort night ; let me recommend you to see more of her." "More cf her ".exclaimed the young man. "Why, I've seen down to the fifth rib on each side, already." No more objections we made, and they were married. A United States revenue officer in Springfield, Mo., has received the fol lowing "noat," which seems rather a loud one : "To Mr. Adims : i have bin sellin chesnuts by the kwart to some of the nabers, and the boys says i shel be prosekuted if i don't have a jisense or get my chesnuts stamped onto. How much have i got to pay far selling a fu ches nuts.. The Herald on tbe Soldiers. The Omaha Herald of the 20ih con tains an article on the persecution of democratic soldiers and officers, during the late war by radical commanding of ficers. The editor of the herald ought to know all about these things ; ha fol lowed the army in arlcansas for some time, picking up little thi3g3 left (?) by the soldiers, and very kindly taking care of the citizens, cotton for them. He seems to have great admiration for Gen. steel. We never saw a rebel in Arkan sas that did not. Gen. Hurlburt also was in high esteem with them all, for as we learned from a lady of Batesville, for their goodness3 ia allowing them to purchase things prohibited by War De partment orders, to supply their friends in the rebeljarmy with, and otherwise aiding the rebellion. General Steel was m high favor with all the cotton thieves in Arkansas, and we find that at least one of them has soul enough to feel grat ful to him for the opportunities given them. We admire Dr. Miller for his fine redeeming features. We don't blame him for praising Gen. Steel, he ought to do so. He manifests great dis like for Gen. Livingston, so did all the rhel wft knew in Arkansas. He was just as lenient these-as the army Regu lations and. the circumstances would per mit, and no more so. Rebels "couldi do nothing with him,but he fought andcom manded for his country, and subordinate officers got themselves into scrapes when ever they attempted to shield either a rebel or cotton thief, consequently all the rebels and Dr. Miller hate him, and the latter lets no opportunity for misrep resenting him pass unimproved. The herald says it spits upon the stereotyped charge of its editor's contempt for sol diers, but that does not remeve it. It still sticks faster than wax, and has been sterotyped by the gantleman him self, by every act since he edited a reb elfsheej. in St. Joe, to the penning of tbe article above mentioned, including cotton speculation J"eb. City, Press. NEBRASKA The editorial correspondence of tha Kansas Slate Journal dated Nebraska City, June 6ih, contains the following: Nebraska has a popuhtion of about 42.000. Its population in 1S60 was 20,000, showing a steady and very grat ifying increase. The inhabitants, are in dustrious, orderly and enterprising, com posed almost exclusively of the agricult ural classes. The reports in Agricul tural Department at Washington shows that the farmers of Nebraska for 1S65, raised larger crops to the acre, and re ceived a higher price per bushel for their produce than an average of three-fourths of the States in the Union. As a grain producing region it is unsurpassed. Both fall and spring wheat is grown herewith success. Corn especially in the rich val leys of L'eauquicourt, the Platte, the Weeping Water, the Nemaha, the EIu3 and Salt Creek, yields abundantly, and is always a sure crop. There has never been a failure in crops from the first set tlements in 185-1 to the present time. A successful experience of twelve years has fully demonstrated the capacities cf this Territory for grain growing. There is abundance of pasturage for stock and upon the rich and excellent prairie grass es ctock thrive finely, and the growing of wool, and tha raising of cattle could but be a very remunerative business were it not for the considerably greater time required to feed in the course of the year than is required in more south ern latitudes. The severe winter, the piercing winds, the broader valleys and grater amount of timber in latitudes fur thersouth, will never allow Nebraska t? sncpess-fully compete withsonthern Kan sas in growing wool and raising stock. The eastern portion of the Territtory, for a distance of 150 miles back from the river, is capabel of supporting quite a dense population. Thi3 comprises all the really valuable lands in the Territory MARKETS. Nebraska will always possess a rea sonably fair market for all snrplns pro duce. Two or three different railroads will in the course of the next three years strike her eastern border. These with the Missouri river and a line of railway south to St- Joseph, Missouri, furnishes excellent facilities for eastern transportation, which, however, will probably never be made available to any considerable extent for the shipment of exports, as there will always be a wes tern demand for all surplus that Nebras ka can raise. ITS CIOGBAPniCAL POSITION The geographical position of Nebras ka, if not the best, is better than a ma jority of the States. It i- in the gee graphical center cf the continent, and has within her borders located the main trunk of the great Tacific Railroad, aq enterprise of such gigantic magnitude, destined to have such a controlling inllu ence upon the direction ths commerce and the welth cf this country and tha world siiall take, that it cu.;.jv lull U bring opulence and prosperity tooths re gion thiough which it passes. LEADIJO TOW?. The leading towns in Nebraska are are Nebraska City, Omaha, Phttsmouth anb Brownville. Nebraska City has a population of about S.C00 Omaha nearly the same, with splendid future prospect being the initial point of cne cf the bran ches of the Pacific Railroad, Phttsmouth has about 2,000, and Browsill1 atoqt 1,200 inhabitants. The writer of the atove doubtless get his estimate of the population cf Brown ville from persons living in sop.j of tha up river Metropolises. Tho population of Brownville is over 2,000, as this cor respondent who appears fair in other respects would admit were hs to seo for himself. Ed. THE PROBABLE WAR IN EUROPE. There will apparently bs a conference of the Europen powers, but it is genert ally conceded that war is unavoidable. This will not seem strange to any one who reflects that there is a universal wish in Europe to reconstruct t.hg map, as it is called. That can be dons only by peacful negotiations, or by war. But what chance is there among the conflic ting claims, and hot passions and ambi tious of the various powers, that a har monious redistribution could be mad9? The wisest heads are clearly of the opin ion that it is hopeless, and that it maj not be possible to hold the Jogs of war iu lash until the Congress dissolves. Meanwhile the number cf tro?poz a war footing is enormous. Tha Ncrtheru Army of Austri alone under General Benedek, upon the .frontiers of Prussia and Saxony i3 composed of 350,000 men and GOO gnn3. Tho Austrian force in Venetia is 130,000 men, whilo the Aus trian reserve comprises 600,000 men. Venetia is being rapidly fortified. Th'J Italian Arrny will coutain more than 500,000 meu, of whom 250,000 are al ready in the first line, and are inspireqV with the utmost enthusiasm. The Prus sian force is immense, and Europe is al ready a camp onco more. There are two elemen s which have not been much considered, but which may prove to be of great importance. These are Russians and the Republicans. Tho people of Enrcpe at this time would har dly allow the slrnggle to be mjrely a dy nastic combat. They would seize tb.9 moment of universal tumult to demand further rights; and wh?n a war once ba gins cf the necessary proportions of this, is impossible to foretell ths end or the re?ults. A great deal mcrd than was; meant will be bth won and lest ! Harper's Vt'eeldy. A patron cf a village newspaper ones said to the publisher : "Mr. Printer, how is it ycu have nev? er called cn me for the pay for your pa per ?" "Oh," said tho man cf types, "wa never ask a gentleman for money.' "Indeed, replied his patron, "then how do you manage to get along when the don't pay ?" "Why," said the editor, "after a ceir lain time we conclude that a man who fail.? to pay for his paper is not a ,gen? tleman and then we ask h:m." "Oh, ah, ye3 ! I see. Mr. Printer, please give me a receipt, (hands him iwq dollars,) and please make my name alj on the books." A California parer says a large hks has been discovered in that State, frcrr; the waters of which can be obtained a lage quantity cf borax without much trouble, anp in a state cf almost absolute purity. Considering the fact that the world is now dependent on the hgoonj cf Tuschany fcr its bsrax, and the con? tingency that this foreign supply may'al any time be cut off, this discovery is cf no little importance. The Iberville (La.) Pionepr says thtt eight parishes in that state are cow in? undated. Two-thirds of the population of Grosse Tete and Grand River are navj without necessary food, ar, I the cjhxr half have no provisions at ali. . . i The "right" wing of tho For.; in army 13 returning home, and th "left" h -f; in Canada.
