During the last Presidential canvas the Democracy resolved and re resolvlved, that there should be more ecoraomy practiced in the expenditure of the public fun d. And by economy we supposed, and the country sup posed, that they Iid not meaq to use the word In any legitimate' Fen se, but as a modernized Dem'yrr&tic figure of speech, so as to include the doings of the Common Council of the City of New York, Nebraska City, and the last Democratic Administration under Floyd, Davis & Co., as proper exam ples in.explanation of the resolutions so pompously adopted. - As a further illustration of, the meaning of this word In the Demo cratic vocabulary, we refer our readers to, the recent, developments of the action of the Democratic Council of Nebraska City of about that period of time when DemocTstl? conventions were so prolific 1n resolutions of Ihis character. It i3 now ascertained that the people of Nebraska City, not lik ing the route of 31idland Pacific voted authorizing the Mayor to issue $25,000 in City Bonds, and donated them to said company, on condition that the adopt another route in lieu of the one decided upon. The arrangement was made, but in stead of the $i,C)') voted, it is now found that $33,500 were issued the excess being consumed In paying at torney fees, com minion to city officers, and such like Democratic delinquen cies. , The matter coming to light, much ado is now made over the matter by leading Democrats of that place; not that they condemn the over-ksue, for many of them say they knew , it months ago, but Spartan like they depricate the notoriety which the case Li bound to assume. Stealing with them is not a crime, unless It be found out. Not the act itself, but its discov erable qualities, calls for punishment. Browxviixe, August 10, 1S03. ; Editor Xebrasla Advertitcr?

In a harried visit to Teru this week, we noted many valuable Improve ments on the way. Dr. Mathews has opened a large farm about two miles this side of Honey creek, the fencing in of which has changed the road for four or five miles to Peru. . . Mr. W. W. Smith has built a large house on his farm which corners on Dr. Mathew's farm. . We noticed three other new build ings on the road but did not learn to whom they belonged. Many new houses have been built In Teru since last January. The Nor mal School building has been mate rially x-hanged. The roof has been raised and a cupola and bell has been added, and the grounds fenced. We were pleased to note these im provements us evidences of the pros perity of the town and its citizens. Peru is backed by one of the finest, richest and best settled portions of our eiranty, and when the Trunk Road is completed to this point it will infuse new life and quicker blood into the arteries of its growing commerce. On our return home by the way of London, the most prominent features noticable was the big cornfields of heavy lop-eared corn ; many large ricks of wheat and oats, and some few fields of grain in the shock ; and last, though not least, the large new dwelling of Mr. Winter's, near Lon don. This, when completed, will make one of the best dwelling houses in the county ; it is already inclosed.

The discourse delivered pon the above mentioned subject, at the Pres byterian Church, on last Sunday morning, by the EvMr. Baird, was not only remarkable bemuse of the ability which characterized it, but also remarkable became of its adapta bility to the times. It is not the present plan to" report the above mentioned discourse, but briefly to allude thereto with the addi tion of a few thoughts concerning the belicfin Mixlem Spiritualism, and the result tkat such a belief must necessa rily have upon the mind. " i ; -' .'- , The ' discussion was, in the first place, a resume of the extensive fffer atureboth! sacred ;and proper con cerning the question, from the earliest down. , The manifestations. and phe nomena of ancient spiritualism were most , clearly shown to he identical with the spiritualism of to day. ' " The effects and consequences resul ting from a belief therein were clearly and unmistakably , set forth, and the dangerous tendencies of such a belief were very forcibly illustrated. ' If facts and reasons were puf3elent tocon vict a man of error, and convince. him of truth', there could be but little, if anything," added to , the discourse alluded to. But men .are not convin ced of the fallacy of their theories by the lights and truths of reason, unless, indeed, they are ready and willing to renounce tbem, should they. fail. to stand the test; because, as Dr. John son remarked, "Men willingly believe what they wish to be true." It does not suit the purpose of .the believer in spiritualism to renounce his faith therein.' He imagines he sees in this direction the method by which he can altogether avoid human accountability to a Supreme Ruler.1- His reasons for escaping such an ac countability being of the utmost con requerJces to liimself, he eagerly grasps whatever comes wfthin his reach, though it be nothing more than the straw of spiritualism. v , ' ; . Then, the most trivial statements are magnlSed into the most remark able coincidents and revelations. When the spirit'of a certain deceas ed person announces, through the me dium, that in the worldly k estate cf said deceased person," there hzrt Been appointed "; two administratorSj, the circle is c!?cfri.1eJ with the astound ing relation and remarkable 'coinci dent; for, that two administrators ha been appointed is a notorious fact, and if, moreover, a matter of public re cord. : When a medfom, by the aid of darkness, can exeeuto thess tricks of legerdemain, which a more accom plished trickster can perform in the light withoot deteetion? it is altogeth er astonishing and convincing. It is, no diubt, . true enough that there are manifestations and phenom ena eon nee ted with spiritualism which may not be explained or accounted for, but such inexplicable manifesta tions are not, necessarily, proofs of the truth of the doctrine; no more than the fact, that because we cannot comprehend space, there is no such thing. . ; - ' : - I cannot comprehend the thought that matter always existed, therefore it was created. I cannot comprehend the thetight that matter was created out of nothing, therefore it alwaj-s ex isted. Here one proposition seems as impossible to human understanding as the otlerf yet one must be true, otherwise the universe s a mytri, and man has no physical existence ; and such a doctrine as this is not worthy of a moments serious consideration. Therefore how absurd to give cre dence to a doctrine because of the in comprehensibility of some phenome naespecially absurd, when we re member with what profanity the manifestations are characterized, and when we take into account the ques tionable motives by which some are said to be governed who patronize the circle. . What, Indeed, could be more-repulsive to the purest and noblest sympa thies and sentiments of the heart, than the thought that the spirits of de parted friends were subject to the calls of medietas, and at whose command they discoursed fs most absurd and ludicrous twaddle. Were I to believe that the spirits of the beloved dead, being free to com municate with us in this life, instead of watching over our welfare, and causing their gentle and healing pres ence to be felt within my own strick en heart, should be subject, alone, to the class of spiritual mediums, then the most bitter hour of existence would be the hour of such a belief. The terrible anguish with which the heart is convulsed at the final par ting trpon earth the Iss? embraco; the whi.'pered farewell; the fading vision ;. the death shudderand what we prized beyond all other , earthly gifts is gone, forever gone, would be Insupportable had we not the' cheer ing and tustaining consolation that the rpirit has gone to a brighter and happier world beyond, where sorrow is unknown and joy and gladness ever reign.

The eclipse at Snrinerfield Illinois, was a startling and sublime" phenomena. The ' sky was nerfectlv clear, not a cloud visi ble. - . . ...... Professer Pierce, of Harvard, had charge of the observations, which were made neartbe city resorvoir. 1 A hundred rjhotosrraphs were taken of the eclipse by Mr. Black, of Boston When the total obscursion took place, the heavens and earth presented a scene of awful sublimity. A brilliant . amber colored corona appeared around the sun and moon. shootincr ravs of light outward in al directons, when the ' whole horizon was illuminated with a lirrht of the same color. The planets Mercury and Venus and a number of fixed stars were distinctly visible, but no planets between Mercury and the sun were discovered. A brilliant rose colored name or protuberance was noticed in the west era limb of the sun during the period of total obscuration. The phenomenon known as "Bailey's Beads"' was also distinctly witnessed. The phenomen on. Prof. Pierce thinks it occasioned by the refraction of light. He is also satisfied that the corona, or halo, at the time of the total abscuration was occasioned by the sun's atmosphere Prof. Chas. Schott, of the Coast Sur vey had charge of the general arrange ments, and, with a powerful telescope observed particularly the form of the protuberances, and made special ob servations, in connection of the photographer. W. P. Montague, graduate of the Harvard Cellecre this year, was detailed to note the time by the chronometer, and during the en tire eclipse; from its commencement until nsrsnai close, never lor a mo ment allowed his eye to wander from the dial plate thus not losing sight the eclipse In any of its phases. During the total obscuration of the sun a silence like death rested over the dty; birds Cew to their nests: fowls to their roosts, and chickens to their friendly wings of shelter. A drove of cows feeding pear the reser voir with bead and tails erect and with a startled and frightened look started lor the otv and did not cease running until Old Sol once more shone forth. Many other incidents, some laughable and some grave, transpired during the eclipse." Dogs were seen ugaze m wonaer at tne iernoie ap pearance of theskv and remain during the total obscuration in an attitude of alarm and wonderment, but just at the moment of the first rav of the sun appeared again expressed the joy they felt in a way dogs only can. The observations made by the scientific gentlemen have been all that could be desired. The photographs taken by Mr. Black have never been equal ed in perfectness of execution."
