HL Louis Is in cxticies over its own efforts to remove the National Capitol to that city. The Alabama State Lands, situated in Otoe County, are soon to be sold at auction for cash. - The law prohibiting the shooting of Prairie Chickens is in operation at this reason of the year. . There will be a camp meeting held by the M. E. Church at the old Camp Grounds west of Peru, commencing on the 19th of this month. See the notice of a religious meeting commencing on next Thursday near London. A time for much religious instruction is anticipated. The new culvert near the llanna ford'farm, on the main road five miles west from Brownville, has been com pleted, and teams again cross over. "We are informed by Col. Furnas, Acting President of the Trunk Rail Road, that the first ten miles, from Rulo north will be located next week. The Editor received a dispatch from fit. Louis on last Mouday, requesting Jiis presence at Chillicothe, Mo., on Tuesday, and so has been from home this week. Since the shooting affray between J. R. Taylor and Alonzo McCoy, else where noticed, Mr. Taylor's hotel, valued at $18,000, has been burned to the ground. Supposed to be the work of an incendiary. Dr. Treason has again assumed en tire control of the Gazette at Tecum . peh, A. J. Warrall retiring from force of circumstances which he was pow crUt to control. The Doctor refuses longer to associate himself with a ",W hhlff Copperhead, and that of the meanest grade." So Wan-all's exit was a matter of necessity. m ' The Omaha Republican infofms us that Alonzo McCoy, an insurance agent of that city, was shot in the ' arm in an affray with J. R. Taylor of the Taylor House, situated two miles rest of Omaha. McCoy was cowhld ing Taylor for insulting his wife, when Taylor, not relishing the stripes, both ilrew pistols and fired, the third shot iaking effect in McCoy's arm. We learn from the Eej)ublican that Marshal Hollins was arrested tried and convicted of assault and battery upon one Hall in Omaha. It appears that the Marshal arrested one Dan Hall, as a vagrant, and put him in the calaboose and afterwards released him without bringing him to trial, whereupon the said Hall prosecuted the Marshal for assault and Battery, with the above result. The Quarterly Meeting at the M. E. Church in this city on last Saturday and Sunday, was well attended, the church beiug crowded with anxious hearers. The sermons oh Sabbath morning and evening by the Presid ing Elder, the Rev. Mr. Lemon, were eminently practical, and well deliv ered; and, aside from their length, were just the discourses most needed by the members and congregation of that church. Mr. France was arrested in St. Paul on a requisition from Gov. Butler by the sheriff of Douglas County, Neb., and'brought to. Washington County, where he was examined on the charge of stealing three fast horses, valued at $4,500, and bound over to appear at the next term of the district court. The horses were the property pf Dr. John P. Porter, of Omaha, and when found were figuring finely on the turf in St. Paul, where Mr. France was playing the role of proprietor. So says the Republican. . The Gazette says that the severest tftorm of the season occurred In Te- cumseh on Friday one week ago. That our farmers are now in the midst of a heavy harvest. Never be fore have the fields of Johnson Coun ty groaded beneath such a golden crop. That many of the bridges have been washed away by the recent heavy rains, and that the farmers are too busy to repair them. ; That new wheat is selling at 75 cts. at the stores. ' ' And that the Governor, while in Tecumsch last week, had not yet de cided Co call an extra session of the Legislature this winter. Two routes have been surveyed from Brownville running west one via. of Nemaha City ; the other north around the bluffs to the bottom north of Brownville, thence via. of the Distil lery and London, to the Nemaha river near Long's Bridge. Either route is practicable, and the grades do cot ex ceed forty fdet to the mile. The Ne maha City route, though three miles farther, can be built for about the came figures as the other, as there are no cuts or fills. "The cost of the first ten miles is in favor of the Nemaha City route. The cost of each route to Long's Bridge, whither both routes tend, is about the same. We hope by next week to be able to inform our readers more definitely as to the cho sen route, and what may be expected so far as work, thereon is concerned. Heinous. . There will be a meeting of the Di ciples of Christ of Southern Nebras ka, near London, beginning Thurs day the 12th of August. The meeting will be held In a grove near Bro. Daniel Cogdill's residence, one mile and a half east of London. The congregation at Loudon-- extends & cardial invitation to all who may tiesirc to attend. v. ii. winters: London, July 13, 1SS9. RAILROADS. In the great railroad fever which is now pervading our country, it is pleas ant to note, no point attracts so much attention as ours the grainry of the world the great west Capital, see ing a rapidly developing empire, pro gressing with a rapidity unparrallel ed drifts hithertfafds to aid itsdevel opement and enjoy Its great advanta ges. Nebraska situated as she Is, at the very threshhold of egress and in gress to the traffic between the oceans ii receiving her full tJiare of atten tion by railroad capitalists, to reach her rich trade by the way, and tap the richer harvests beyond. Roads aiming at this have undoubtedly the best sup- i)ort, for in them are our eastern friends most directlv interested. Of such roads three are now, either in progress or projected in and over this State : One from Plattsmouth to tap the Union Pacific east of Ft. Kearney, one from Nebraska City to conrtct with the first named at Lincoln, and the one fiom Brownville now being surveyed went from this point to tap the U. P. at or near Ft. Kearney. Many other and minor roads arc pro jected, with fair hopes of construc tion ; yet, so long as the tide of emigra tion, etc., shall pass from east to west, so long will thoroughfares running in these directions have the advantage over others. In this strife for trade between the oceans competition will naturally seek the shortest routes, and in this lies our strength as a city, for but a glance at the map of the country, from this point east thrbu'gh Missburi, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey to New York City, and noting the cities benefited by such a line, because of its shortnes over all others, cannot fail to convince the most indifferent observer of our ad vantageous location. First and fore most among our eastern friemhfin this enterprise stands the city of Quiticy the Queen city of the West, and des tined at no distant day to be the great trade centre of the Mississippi Valley in Illinois. She will aid to. the full extent of her ability ; yet, aisanterpri- ses of such magnitude are not accom plished save by a united, effort on the part of all interested, so the friends of this project must work along the line from Quincy to Ft. Kearney. Beyond the Missouri river the people are in the greatest earnest to aid the work, and to those west we would say : Your destiny Is also in the scale, and car nest, Intelligent, persistent effort is required to work it out favorable to yourselves ; for in the strife for prece dence on the river, alluring schemes will be and are offered you to breed de lay till your distraction with that of your river friends can be accomplish ed. You niay be offered other road3 for nothing, by parties who of them selves cannot build them, and over routes where you know the way trade will not be sufficient inducement to eastern capital to invest; while the route that eastern capital will labor for will surely coal you something. To Johnson and Gsge counties we may safely say: your interest is identical with ours, and we do not say go, but come with us in this enterprise heart and hand, and our joint prosperity is secured. To be a point upon such a road secures beyond prcadventure prosperity and wealth, while the op posite will result from lossofit thro' present neglect. ' Again; we say, be not tempted by the outside promises of "side shows," but cleave with us to the grand work, and success is as sured. State lectin?. The Annual State Meeting of ihe Christian Church will convene at Nebraska City on Tuesday evening, September 14th, and continue over the following Lord's day. It is hoped there will be a general attendance from all parts of the State. Able speakers from abroad will be present. Strangers attending the meeting should report to B. M. Davenport, No .123 Main street, up stairs, where a committee will be in waiting to pro vide homes for all who come. R. C. BARROW. The Richmond State Journdl pub lishes a letter from Gen. B. F. Butler, to the citizensof Virginia aboutrequir ing the test oath of the members of the Legislature. Mr. Butler says; My opinion there fore, would be. and that I am quite clear; that is, within the power of the Government and with the requirement of the laws of Congress, if administer ed in their integrity, to set aside thase men who cannot take an oath because of their participation in the rebellion and the men who-did not participate and lost their votes. The electors because of their adherance to the Union should be admitted to their seats as being the choice only of the men voting who -did not prefer a traitor. to the Government to a loyal man for his representative, and adds that Congress is the only power which can receive the necessity of taking the iron-clad oath. General Capron, Commissioner of Agriculture, continues to receive grat ifying reports of , the success of the cereals distributed by the department the pa3t season. The corresponding secretary of the Pennsylvania , Agri cultural Society writes from Harris burg that the Excelsior oats distribu ted in that quarter have fully answer ed the public expectation. A farmer near that city has grown from this seed a single stalk having 173 fully de veloped head?, and a large number with 150. Other farmers In that quar ter have been equally successful, and pronounce them the best variety of oats ever grown there. The Tappa hannock wheat is also in great de mand in Pennsylvania for seed, which the department has . distributed as freely as Its means permit. m Judjre Mason received by steamboat from Omaha, yesterday, a fine Impor ted bull, from John I. Reddick, Esq. The animal is of the Alderney breed, and said to be of extraordinary value. He is not particularly prepossessing in appearance, but is all his owners claim. ChroTikle. An American cale passed through Horncllsville, New York, a day or two since, and consigned to Iloraee Greely. On the box containing his enjrleship was written the injunction : "Messenger, if you love your country, feed this bird." The-Knoxville Whifj says it i3 estimated- that the blackberry crop of Ten:v. if properly harvested, would make 1GO,UOO barrels of wine, worth $0,000,000. Written for the Advertiser.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial has been interviewing with ex-Senator Wade since his return from California, with the following re sult: "Mr. "Wade what are your impress ions regarding the Chinese." "I think the more we have of them the better. All accounts of those who have employed them concur in con ceeding to them habits of honesty, industry, and temperance." Why, then, do the laws of the Pacific States discriminate against them?" 'It is the old story of political opposition, of precisely the same character as that which on this side has opposed the 'nigger.' The Demo cratic politicians have passed laws in California discriminating against these people to please the Irish, who, with other unskillful lalorers, fear the competition of those Chinese." "Are not their habits repulsive to our people?" . "On the contrary they are extreme ly neat, preforming their frequent abolutions With great care. They are docile, honest, and never, known to get i n toxicated. A n old friend of ou rs with his wife, who have long been residents of California, came with us on the return trip. They left their house hold and children in the care of two Chinese servants who have been with them ten years, and felt intire confidence in them. They assured us that in the employment of this people was to be found- tlxj solution of the vexed question about domestic help." "Rut do you believe it would be ad visable to admit them to citizenship i n this country?" "I don't know that they desire to become citizens. .They ask to be pro tected equally with the others by the laws, and to be permitted to testify in courts of justice. Rut if the they are as represented honest, temperate.and industrious why should we refuse to admit them to citizenship ?" "They are reared in monarchical traditions." "No more so than thousands from Europe to whom we. make no such objection. Still I find a great many who are in favor of their immigration to this country who are opposed to making-them citizens." Chicago, July 30. The following are the particulars of the bloody riot which qccurred on board the Dubuque, on the Mississippi river. One hundred .and fifty raftsmen came on board the boat at Davenport, and the clerk ordered two of the deck hands to stand guard at the gangway not let any one pass without his per mission. One of the raftsmen tried to pass this guard and make his way into the cabin, when the deck hands order ed him back until his ticket was" ex amined by the clerk. " He, not liking this commenced pitching into the deck hands who got the best of him, when the raftsmen, to the numler of over one hundred, came to his rescue, stabbing and beat ing the two deck hands until they were about dead, and then throwing them into the river. They then made an assault on the rest of the crew, and succeeded in killing three more of them throwing their bodies Into the river. One of the raftsmen was also killed in the melee, making six in all killed. - As soon as Hampton Missouri was reached Captain Rhodes landed the boat, when the raftsmen drove the deck crew ashore, injuring several of them with stones. . .. As soon as this was over they went aboard the boat and ordered the Captain to proceed up the river or they would burn his boat. lie being in their power, and fear ing they would carry their threat into execution, headed the boat tip stream, and in the meantime telegraphed to the heriffof Rock Island who char tered an extra train and left with a larsre force of men well armed. They overtook the boat at Clinton and immediately. took possession of her and started for Rock Island. . On his arrival at Rock Island, there were over 5000 on the river bank to gether with the crew who had been driven from the boat, and with their assistance they succeeded in recogniz ing forty-two of the men who were taken to jail under a strong guard. A large police force is posted about the jail and no' further trouble is ex pected. Rock Island is full of rafts men who came ashore but an extra force of police Is stationed about the city, and it is thought that all will be quiet foe the night. Atlantic & UrovrnvIIle R. R. Red Oak, Moxtgomeky Co., Iowa, , August 1st, jy9. J. L. COLHAPP, ' Sir: I arrived here last evening with my survey of railroad line from Ham burg to Atlantic. I find the line full as favorable as I expected, arid the in habitants, without exception, favora ble to the project. I shall get through to Atlantic in about ten days. It will cost about four hundred and fifty dollars to ex tend the survey to Brownville, and if your people want it done, I will do it as soon as I get through here. If any thing is done it must be done imme diately, as as soon as I finish this I shall send the party on another line. The Rock Island people are very favorably disposed now, but have not considered , the matter of extension beyond Hamburg. There wil nothing prevent our getting this road to Ham burg except the Burlington and Mis souri river railroad should build their road there. Please consult with your people and write me any time this week to At lantic Cass county, Iowa. Respectfully Yours, , E. O. FERRIS, Chief Engineer. t m t i Interesting from Havana. Havana, July 31. On Wednesday last 5,000 negro insurgents attacked Puerto Principe, making a General raid through the city. Spanisa f robp to the number of 4,000 men attacked them. . A severe struggle ensued hi which the ground was contested inch by inch, the insurgents retiring in perfect order, having achieved the ob ject for which they made the raid. They captured and destroyed provis ions valued at $50,000, and made good their retreat. The Spaniards. don't give any estimate of the patriot loss. Thirty-foUr of their army were taken to the barracks of the volunteers. There is great dearth of provisions, and consequently great misery. At Santiago Drueda, July 24, the patriot detachments, which have been attack ing the fortified plantations for some time past, defeated the Spanish rein forcements sent to meet them; Col. Comara, commanding the Spanish forces, was surrounded. The expedi tion was compelled to return to the city. It is stated that as soon as prep arations are completed the patriots will positively attack Santiago de Cu ba. The negro militia that made the raid on Puerto Principe enabled a number of families to escape from the Spaniards. The New Fractional Currency. The Treasury Department 1ms com menced the issue of the new fractional currency. The printing is done in New York the face by the American Bank Note Company, and the back by the National Bank Note Company, ou the same paper used for priutiug the United States and National Bank Notes. This paper is superior in qual ity to ihat used for currency now in use. Instead of flashy bronzing now heretofore used on the face of the fractional currency, which was easily counterfeited, an engravedscal, prin ted in red, has been substituted. This is thefinishing touch to the notes and is done at the printing division of the Treasury Department, under the management of it3 efficient chief, George B. McCartee. The ten'cent note, instead of being ornamented oh the face, as now, by the head of Wash ington, has the bust of a womnnr6up posed to be the Goddess of laberty. The fifteen-cent notes will have-on their face the figure on the dome of the Capitol. Fesscudcn's head will be taken off" the twenty-five-cent notes, and that of Washington substi tuted. General Spinner's handsome bust will be taken ofF the fifty-cent notes, and le replaced by that of the late President .Lincoln. A Story for Moderate Drinkers. An old friend of the late Judge Fletcher, of Boston, related to the writer many years aso, the following characteristic anecdote: Mr. Fletcher, when a young man; boarded in the old Exchange coffee house. Without much consideration he had fallen in with the drinking fashion of the day, so far as to have a class of spirits and water brought to his room every night to no taken on going to bed, as "a nightcap." One night an unusual press of company prevented the bar keeper from carrying up Mr. Fletch er's usual night dram. The squire did not regard it as quite the thing for him to go to the bar and get his grog, and so he went to bed without his nlcht cap. But to sleep he could not. All night long he tumbled about for lack of his accustomed drink, and as he did so his active and discriminating mind worked most dilligently. The fruit of his reflection appeared next morning, when, on getting up weary and worn by his hard and restless night, Fletcher went directly to the bar keeper: "Mr. ,you did not bring up my brandy and water last night and, as a consequence, I have 6lept little or none all night. The bar keeper was very sorry. This neglect should not occur acain. "Not so," rejoined Mr. Fletcher. "Never bring me another drop. of liquor, unless I order it, If it has come to this that I can't sleep without a tumbler of toddy, it is high time that I stopped drinking, and broke up the dangerous habit." - 1 From that day Mr. Fleteher became a thorough-going Temperance man. Sayixo "Hateful" Things' What a strange disposition is that which leads people on to say 'hateful" tilings for the mere pleasure "of saying them. You are never safe with such a person. Wlien you have done your very best to please them, and are feel ing kindly and pleasantly out will pop some bitter speech, some underhanded stab, which you alone can comprehend a sneer which is masked, but which is too well aimed to be misunderstood. It may be at vour person, your mental feeling, your'foolishjhabits of thought, or some little secret of faith, or opin ion confessed. In a , moment of ganuine confidence. It matters not how sacred it may be to you, he will have his flinng at it, nay, since the wish is to make you suffer, he is all the happier the nearer he touehes your heart. Just half a dozen words, only for the pleasure of seeing a cheek flush an eye lose its brightness, only.spoken because he is afraid you are too nappy or too conceited. Yet they are worse than so many blows. How many sleepless nights have -such attacks caused. How, after, them. one awak ens with aching eyes and. head, to rer member that ppeeeh before anything el3e that brigh t sharp needle of speech that probe the very centerof your soul. There is only one comfort tole taken. The repetition of such attacks, soon weans your heart from the attacker, and this once done, . ifothing that he can say will ever pain you more.

It only needs to be stated that the happy couple were recently married, and were returning from a shopping excursion. They had taken a street car full of gentlemen. Just as the lady took her seat she noticed a beauti fully worked substance fall around her feet. It might have been - a handkerchief. . and the more she thought of it the more she thought something had given way around her waist An awful fear took possession of her heart. . Those treacherous but tons would give .way soraetimes'. and if her own had proved false what could she do ? If she got up, it would be noticed bv every one. 1 he perspi ration broke out in great drops all over her face the cheeks all rosy with health and happiness, were now pale with death. What could she do? Every moment drew them nearer home. She could, even now, see the palings of the feuoe. Henry as ris ing to ring the bell. . m "Stop, Henry, don't ring the bell for mercy's sake!" she whispered, as tugging at his coat tail, she pulled him back to his seat. "Why, what's the matter ? We are at home." "Oh, I know it, but don't get out Henry, please don't," and the tear stained face wore an expression like an angel's in Henry's estima tion turned so beseechingly upon him..: . ' Still the car rolled on, but tho pas sengers rather increased thaii dimin ished. . "Why, Belle, where are you going?" exclaimed the impatient Henry. "Oh ! don't ask me, but sit still, Oh ! do now, to oblige me," faltered the young creature in accents so piteous that they went to the husband's heart. "But Belle, what's the matter?" "I can't tell Oh ! I can't tell, but don't make me get up." And now the car had reached the statibn and the remaining passengers began to leave the vehicle. "Now Belle, let's go." "Wait a moment," said she eagerly, as the last gentleman was decending the step, and then springing sudenly up, she looked curiously at her feet. The white substance fell away and disclosed Henry's handkerchief, dex terously spread for her to sit upon, but which the sweep of her dress had dis-placed- "Why, its a' handkerchief!" she said with an accent that event-ed in tense surprise. "Yes, its mine. What did you think it was ?" "I thought it was my my my ." "Oh, that was it?" , Belle nodded. f'Well since it ain't your your your we'll go home." And they went. New York, Aug. 1. The Secretary of the Treasury lias instructed the Assistant Treasurer at New York, to purchase $3,000,000 worth , of. 5-20s a week during August. .The first pur chase will be made August 4th.
