THE MEANEST MAN.
Vi ell. I thank ye, deaken, I don't much kecr
If I do set down nnd talk a inlnll,
Here's a cheeae-box handy don't mind a
cheer,
Yon kin nee the store If anyone's In It.
I thought you'd be kind o' curious like
About how I did ltl my trip to Jnrsey;
Thank the Lord I live In n Christian land.
And that I am hack in it whole In mercy.
I should judge a man mean whose riches
arise
From bclliu' mahogany hams, and report
ers Tell u yarn of a chap who from dead men's
eyes
Stole the coppers, and swore cause they
wa'nt quarters;
And I have seen some men so mean In my
day
They would skin a flea and make soup of it
urter;
But, deaken, a Jarsey Quaker, I say.
Could bent 'em all at u swap or barter.
The fact is detikln that mare of mine,
I thought when I went to Jarsey I'd trade
her,
8he wasgettln' so old that she'd stand with
out tyln',
And so boney they said some carpentar
made her.
But I fed her up smart, nnd filed down her
teeth.
And I laired a I thought how the feller In
Jersey
Would swear nrter traden', but sure as you
breathe,
Ez they say up at court, It wns Just vicy
vercy.
For down in a town they call Hackensnck,
I found at the tavern a meek little Quaker,
And he looked at my mare, ez she stood nt
the rack,
And sez "Iriend. how much money will
make thee rorsake Her 7
Thee must know that I've a very nice horse
or mine own.
But I'm somewhat ask cored, lor he'syoung
nnd he'.s frisky."
8ez I, "Mister" assumln' ray plcosantest
tone
"Let'sgolnto the bar, and we'll sample
some Whisky."
He sez. Friend, these strong llckers get into
my head,
And I fear might make me do things as is
foolish.
But I'll follow thee friend, for it never was
sed
That Israel Jones did a thing ez wns mul
ish." Well, I trented ten times, and Jones drank
apple-jack.
While I poorty near busted an darned soda
water.
When I sez to him, "Jones" he was full as a
sack
If you drive your horse homo you'll be
killed, and you'd oughter."
Well, the upshot is, deacon, I traded with
Jones,
My mnro for his horse, nnd I kinder felt
pity
As I left him there drunk with the bundle of
bones.
While! drove off his horse on the road to
the rlty.
But I scarcely had got half a mile when a
cuss
Yelled out, "There goes one of them darned
carpet-baggers
Stuck with Jones' blind horse, and I tell you
wat's wuss,
He cant go si mile, for he's got tho blind
staggers."
'Twas gospll truth, deakin, for that erchorise
dropped
On the road, and was lanced by a surgeon
soon after.
Who remnrked on his goln' so far 'fore he
stopped,
Wliile i hose Jarsey men Btood there Just
dyln' with laughter.
And what did I do with him? Nothtn. tint I
Started back to the tavern after Jones, and
the fact Is,
That Quaker was setting there as straight as
ndlo
And was swappln'Jack-knlves with a feller
for practice.
1 looked square in his eyes, and I sez, "Mr.
Jones,
Of all Hvin' hogs yo'ur a little the leanest.
And at swapplir If your mean oul ever owns
You will say of all men you're a little the
meanest."
But that Jmies he 'ooked up In his meek
quiet way.
And he says with a grin that wns slmply
lnfumous.
"Friend, 'twere sinful to tell thee thou llest,
but I say
I'm convinced that thee never met my
brother Amos."
Ji. It. MATTERS.
A. P. COGSWELL "RISKS TO EX
PLAIN. Brownville, Nov. 22nd, 1871.
To the Clllzensof the city of Brownville:
I take the present opportunity to
call your attention to some facts that
greatly interest every property hold
er of Brownville, and really every
citizen, unless itsiiould be some one
whose private interests are more to
him than the prosperity of the whole
people.
On the 24th day of June, 1SG9, a
railroad convention was held in
Kirks ville, Mo. This convention
met for the purpose of organizing a
company to build a railroad from
Quincy, Illinois, west to the Missou
ri river. Brownville was represented
in that convention by five delegates,
namely, Hon. J. S. Church, Dr. Mc
Pherson, Dr. J. V. Blackburn, Judgo
A. W. Morgan, and A. P. Cogswell.
The City Couucil of Brownville au
thorized these delegates to subscribe
to the capital stock of said company
the sum of one hundred thousand
dollars, provided Brownville was
made the western terminus of this
railroad. The delegates succeeded in
securing Brownville as the western
termini, by subscribing as individual
stock, the sum of ten thousand dol
lars. Some time during the next whi
ter or spring a proposition was sub
mitted to the people of Brownville to
vote to the Q,., M. & P. railroad, sixty
thousand dollars, ten of which was to
be in lieu of stock subscribed by the
above mentioned delegates at Kirks
ville, Mo. Before the proposition
was voted uppn, Col. Savage and Mr.
King, the President and Secretary of
the Q., M. & P. Co., camo to Brown
ville, and fiudiug that we wished to
organize the Brownville and Fort
Kearney railroad company, and had
not stock sufficient to do so, they sug
gested that this amount (sixty thous
and dollars) be voted to B. & Ft. K.
Co., to assist iu organizing said com
pany, with the understanding that
when no orgauized the amount ($60,
000 j was to be delivered to the Q., M.
& P. B- R. Co. The Q., M. & P. R.
R. Company therefore advertised to
let contracts to grade and bridge the
road to Phelps. While this was be
ing done they auked, and received
from Brownville, twenty thousand
dollars in city bonds. The Treasurer
of the Company tried to negotiate
these bonds iu New York, but found
it impossible to convert them into
cash at auy reasonable discount, and
they were, therefore, withdrawn from
the market and deposited in the bank
of I. & C. H. Bull & Co., Quincy,
Illinois, where (with the exception of
one bond of five hundred dollars ta
ken by Judge C. W. Wheeler on
bridge contract) they remain at this
tit, FrtlllBg t?glltbe bonds, tho

grading and bridging from Brown- erly representing the- wishes of the
ville to Phelps had to he paid for by people of Brownville, the people
the Q , M. & P. Co., which, you will should say so. While Messrs. Ad
observe, was money advanced by the ams and King were in Brownville
company to accommodate Brownville i Mr. Lett stated to them that hu wish
The Q., M. & P. Co. expected to com- ! ed to uje the bonds ($40,000) to secure
plete that piece of road during the j a connection with the B. & M., or
summer of '70, but not being able to ' some ether road. Mr. Atkinson said
sell our bonds it neeessarially bad to j that they wished to use them to help
lay over until '71. It will be remem
bered that the city of Quincy voted
to the Q., M. & P. R. R. Co., five
hundred thousand dollars, but before
thee bonds co.vld be issued the Leg
islature of Illinois had to legalize the
vote, which was done after a hard
struggle during the winter of 1870
and 1871. The bill no sooner passed
than it was vetoed by the Governor
of Illinois. Consequently it had to
be passed over his veto, or all was
lost. But the Q., M. & P. Co., equal
to any emergency, and backed up by
the city of Quincy, triumphantly
passed it over the Governor's head,
thus legalizing the bonds and insur
ing the completion of the road.
After all this had been done only a
portion of the bonds could be issued
until July, 1871 ; and, when you take
into consideration the fact that all the
bonds voted by Quincy, ami the
northern tier of counties in Missouri,
(amounting to nearly two million dol
lars), has been voted conditionally,
that it is to be paid as the work pro
gresses ; the Quincy bonds having
been tied up; the Brownville bonds
on deposit; uearly ten thousand dol
lars in cash expended between Brown
ville and Phelps ; nearly fifty miles
of road completed west of Quincy ;
the enormous expense of locating the
whole road from Quincy to Brown
ville ; canvassing, officers' salaries,
etc., etc.
it is certainly
no wonder
built from
the spring
that the road was not
Brownville to Pheips by
of 1871.
Up to the spring of 1S71 Brownville
had done all that she had agreed to
do, and the Q., M. & P. Co. had no
cause of complaint, and was making
arrangements to complete the road to
Phelps and east as far as the Tarkio,
(10 milss). in the summer of 1S71.
During the spring of 1S71 it was ru
mored that H. C. Lett, the President
of the Brownville, Fort Kearney and
Pacific Railroad Company, was try
ing to use these bonds to secure a con
nection with some other road. In
fact Mr. Lett declared that the people
of Brownville demanded that he
should use hese bonds for that pur
pose, (that is the forty thousand dol
lars not issued, belonging to the Q.,
M. & P. Co.) After such statements
being made, ami it being understood
that he was trying to make negotia
tions with the B. &, M. road, the Di
rectors of .the Q., M. & P. R. It. be
gan to fear that their bonds would be
used, and if they completed tho road
to Phelps they would lose the bonds
entirely. They, therefore, sent their
Secretary, Col. George S. King to
Brownville, to make the following
arrangement: These bonds to be is
sued, placed in the hands of a trustee,
(some person in Brownville,) to be
delivered to the Q., M. & P. Co. when
they completed the road to Phelps.
The Q., M. & P. Co. agreeing to com
plete the same by November 1st, 1S71,
or to never lay claim to the bonds;
the bonds not to bear any interest un
til November 1st, or when the road
should be completed. They farther
propofed to complete, if possible, the
road eiHt to the Torkio, by December
25th, 1871. This proposition wa.- re
fused by the oflkers of the B., Ft. K.
& P. Co. -Mr. King returned home,
a meeting of the Directors of the Q.,
M. & P. Co. was had, Mr. King's ac
tion in the premises endorsed, and
Judge George Adams, one of the Di
rectors, and Mr. King sent again to
Brownville under the same instruc
tions. They came, tried to have the
matter arranged, but failed a- before,
and went home feeling that the' had
been badly tieated, and to use their
own expressions, insulted. While
Messrs. Adams & King were here
they met the Directors of the Brown
ville and Fort Kearney Company, to
whom they made their propositions.
During the discussion I remarked
that if the citizens of Brownville
knew all the facts in this case, and
were not in any way influenced by
the officers of the B., Ft. K. & P. Co.,
they would unanimously say issue
the bonds atouce. The arrangement
was then made to have a meeting of
the citizens of Brownville the next
night. Messrs. Adams, King and
myself were anxious for the meeting,
and the Directors agreed to it ; but
the next day Messrs. Lett and Atkin
son refused to have anything to do
with the meeting, and stated as one
reason that the people would get en
thusiastic on the subject, but it would
not reflect the wish of the people.
Another reason was that Mr. Tisdol,
(who is one of the Directors of this
company,) had said that if lh people
did vote, at the meeting, to have the j
bonds issued he would not sign them.
I could hardK believe it possible, but
went immediately to see Mr. TIsdel,
the Maj'or of Brownville, when he
told me that he would not fcigo the
bonds if the meeting all voted for
them to be issued.
Mr. Lets further stated, as a reason
for not having the meeting, (this
statement was not made 'to Adams
and King,) that he was afruid that
Adams and King would Le Insulted
at the meeting. To speak plain the3
backed oot of the meeting, and bj
the earnest request of Adams and
King I let It pass without doing as I
believed I ought to have done, ap
pealed at once to the people ; for, if
Messrs. Ltt and Atfeiflgos $ro prop-
build the B.. Ft. K. & P. R. R. They
further stated to them that the peo
ple of Brownville did not desire the
road completed to Phelps now. They
preferred to wait until the road was
built to Mar.vsville, Mo. In fact they
impressed the idea that Brownville
people did not care about it being fin
ished to Phelps as it would not be of
any use to them. Now is this possi
ble ? Is it tiue that Brownville does
not want to issue these bonds, when
by doing ao she could seenre railroad
connection in the next sixty days?
Is it possible that she wants to be iso
lated, cut off, left odt in the cold ? Do
the people roalize, for a moment, that
by the issue of these bonds they not
only have railroad connection at
once, but thev will securej to them
selves a road (the Quincyj Missouri
and Pacific) that will be.worth more to
Brownville than all the roads that
have ever been talked of being built
to this city. If Brownville ever gets a
bridge across the Missouri river it will
be built by the Q., M. & P. Co.
November 1st I had the pleasure of
being one of an excursion party who
took a ride over the east end of the
Q.f M. & P. Railroad, and when I
stepped aboard the train at West
Quincy, heard the cry, "All aboard
for Brownville," and the cars sped on
westward, over the best new road I
ever saw, I began to realize what had
been done, and, that, within a few
months, this great road would strike
the Missouri river. And let me say
right here that it remains with
Brownville to say now whether or
not this is the crossing for the Q., M.
& P. Railroad. Time is precious.
When Adams and King ofiered to
complete the road to Phelps'by Nov
ember 1st, the people said that it was
too long to wait, but November 1st
has come and passed, and still the
citizens of Brownville are paying a
heavy tax on everything shipped to
their city. They still have the pleas
ure of dragging through the mud to
and from Phelps, and the satisfaction
of paying seventy-five cents for the
privilege of being transported to
Phelps at the rate of two and a half
miles per hour. Nemaha county is
paying heavily for everything that is
shipped to Phelps and hauled to
Brownville. The farmers have the
gratification of knowing that they
are receiving less for grain anil pay
ing more for good3 than at other
points, consequently farmers living
within six miles of Brownville to
day are hauling produce to Humboldt
for a market. That being the case,
before many weeks all west will haul
to Tecumseh, northwest to Nursery
Hill, north to Nebraska City, and
south to Falls Citv and Salem.
What will support Brownville
without an immediate outlet? Peo
ple may say that this is plain talk.
It is time to talk plain, we have had
Beerecy enough. Do something now
or let the grass grow in your streets.
Every day people are leavingyou and
others making arrangements to leave
as soon as possible. Rats leove a sink
ing ship. Brownville should be a
large city. She will be if her people
do tVeir duty. Men make cities; lo
cation, never. Every man should
look to it and see that his interests are
protected. Those who are opposed to
the issuing of these bonds will Bay
they are not going to give sixty thous
and dollars for three miles of road.
You are not giving it for three miles
of road, you are merely subscribing
that much stock to the road, and by
that act you secure not only three
miles, but two hundred and thirty
miles of road, and what is more have
the Western terminus and a sure
shing of the bridge. Why you have
voted to donate, to give, to the Trunk
Road one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars. You have voted to the B.
Ft. K. & P. R. R. by the county one
burred and eighteen thousand dol
lars, and by Brownville Precinct
one hundred thousand dollors, the
bonds of which are all ready issued
and drawing interest. The Q. M. &
P. Road is worth more to Brownville
than both of these roads, and yet you
hesitate to take sixty thousand dol
lars stock in this rood when it givej
you immediate relief, advertises
your town, brings emraigration, fills
your empty houses, saves every fami
ly in the city from one to five dollars
a week that they pay now on freight
that is collected of them by express
on groceries, and in fact everything
that is brought to the city by rail.
Those opposed to issuing the bonds
will claim that the Quincy road must
come here. I admit that it U the case,
uut rail road and business men ought
to know that it would be verj
build a branch from Rock Creek
Rock Port, Mo. cross the river at Ne

below Nemaha CU3, and still have
Brownville the terminus. There is
no dispostion to do this unless the3
are driven to it. Thej have sent their
committee twice to ask for the bonds.
The have both times been refused.
At the regular qnarterlj meeting of
the Board held in West Quince the

Latter-Say
The existing crisis in Utah lends
iniercst to- the following sketch of
Mormon history, furnished to the
New York Herald by Elder Ernest
Lisle :
Joseph Smith, tho prophet and
founder of the Church, was born in
the State of Vermont, in the year of
our Lord 1S05. The designs of Heav
en were first made known to him at
the early age of fifteen, when he was
informed in a, vision of the utter apos
tasy of the primitive Church. Sep
tember 22, 1827, Joseph Smith receiv
ed from the hands of a messenger
from the Lord the golden record, con
taining the ancient history of this
continent, written by various proph
ets, and concealed by Morodi in the
year 420. Joseph was then informed
that'he was to be an instrument in
the band of God to re-establish His
Church on the earth in its former
purity and holincs. The prophet
then proceeded to translate the gold
en records.

CITIES BLTINT.
The appalling calamity which tho
fair city of Chicago has been over
whelmed and turned into desolation,
can hardly fail to be wisely interper-.
ted to thcadvuntageofothercitiesaud
tovn it. i.ecting on the perfection
at length attained in the contrivance
and construction nf machinery forcx
twiguishin!; and arresting fire, and on
the completeness of the arrangements
for its application, people have some
times hastily assumed that a confla
gration so extensive and runioua had
been rendered simply impossible.
The truth is that tire is as it always
has been, the most dreadful enomy of'
cities It is remarkable that the perils
of its hostility are commonly so little
taken hin practical account; that raw
4&n 6vernroscn cicmCnt which mav nt
1 a
nnv iiioiiit-iii -'el the upper hand and
cause general desolation, it does not
more steadily ocupy the thoughts and
command the vigilence of men who.-e
persons and property arc constantly
exposed to its possible ravages.
Dr. Johnson said that ''the confla
gration of a city with all its tumultof
concomitant distress, is one of the.
most dreadful spectacles which the
world can offer to human eyes." To
any one who merely imagines tho
scene, the teuiark seems strictly just,
and it will, doubtless, be fully verified
by details of the Chicago calamity yet
to be received. No conflagration of
equal extent has ever occurred- upon,
the Western Continent, nnd in view of
the splendor of many of the edifices
de-str yed, of the aggregate misery,
which areamonjr its consequences, tho
burning of Chicago will rank with,
nuist memorable events of the kind in
history. By the New York fire of
December 10, 1635. only six hundred
and forty-eight houses, and property
worth only twenty millions of dollars,
were destroyed, while very few hu
man lives were lost. To find a his
torical parallel of the Chicago fire wo
must go back to the great lire of
London, which raged from the 2nd to
the Gth of September, inclusive, lOGii.
Its ruins covered 430 acres. Eighty
nine churches, (including St. Paul's)
the city gates, the Royal Exebunge,
the Custom House, Guildhall, Sioji
College and about thirteen thousand
two hundred private houses were con
sumed. In consequence of the des
truction of their dwellings, two hun
dred thousand persons were compelled
to encamp in the fields near the city.
