Oh ! yes, we are wanting a million more.
Then ring out the news from shore to shore,
And tell the people wherever you go!
That Nebraska will take a million or so.
Not a million however, or those ugly old churls,
But a million or so of tine good looking girls.
Why, we are two to one just now as we stand.
And that's what's the matter all over the land ;
Whilst men Irom taking of cohl are sneezing.
And bach's by night in their beds are freezing,
flood old Father Time cries out as be passes.
" Do please send on a million more lassies "
And yet some women are never content.
But like Mother Eve on some mischief they're bent
For when we go hunting a wife, just then
Somewomun cries out, "A Million More Men!"
Nu-.v we say 'tis a crime, and we say "lis agrlmone.
You'd better by ?ay," A Million More Women!"
Why, do you wish to cut off our very last chance ?
Or is it our beauty you wish to enhance?
Do you wish to sell us all out under the hammer".'
Thuby for Moie Men! do you publicly clamor?
I'll tell you we'll never consent to such trades.
But we'll receipt, if you please lor a million more
maids.
We're abundantly blessed with most beautiful
prairies.
But w e are sadly In want of those dearlittle fairies
We have snug little homes and huge crops of corn.
But our hearts, they alas, are all sad and forlorn,
Whilst far to the East, we are told by the books,
They are willing to fiiare us a million more cooks
There are neat little homes everywhere to be found'
And plenty of bachelors standing aruiuul.
With love's simple ditties all dona up in shymes.
Just watching and wailing lor a turn of the times.
Then hail to the ship that conies over the waters,
And brings us a cargo of Erin's lair daughters.
Do you ever expect to replenish this nation.
Or till up or land by foreign immigration,
Whilst the men that are born, the lords ot the soil.
Are kept at hard, uncompensated toil.
Whilst a million of men are wasting their lives,
In the bootless search fora million more wives ?
Now we hope we'll hear no more of those speeches
On the want of a million more persons m breeches,
Then change. If you please, the theme of your ver"

Andiiy we're In need of a million more nurses.

Stood It Till He Got Mart.
The Detroit Free Press relates an
incident which occurred on the re
turn of an excursion party from that
city. Soon after the boat left Toledo,
the steward was approached by an
excited individual, who asked him if
he was the captain.
Tho steward replied in the negative
at the same time giving his rank.
"Have you the power to put a man
out of the cabin?" enquired the stran
Tt.r. "Well, yes, if he's disorderly, I
have," replied the steward.
"Well, sir, look in here and

PERU ITEMS.
The following items were designed
for our last week's issue, bat did not
reach us in time.
The warm weather the past week
has loosened the bowels of "old mud
dy" to some extent, but teams, nre
still crowing on the ice bridge.
Dwelling houses, were never in
so great demand in Peru as at the
present time. At the prices of rents
it would pay our capitalists to build
tenant houses. These is no safer in
vestment. We i.olice Hi-bum-a-cus around
town with his neck adorned with red
flannel. Whether It is Worn as a
democratic badge, or the said 'cus'
has got a sorethroat we are unable to
say.
Thompson's express connects
with the IT. S. Express daily at Ne
braska City and Hrowuville, Neb.,
and at Watson, Mo. J. V. Bliss, A
gent, Peru, Neb.
Sharp maiden at the State Nor
mal School, on being asked the other
day by her teacher to give the defini
tion of husband, promptly replied, a
man that the women keep about the
hoii'otodo chores. If this is a cor
rect definition, there must be a great
many widows in this cuuntry.
Peru property has been chang
ing hands pretty lively the past week,
business seems to be looking up. The
prospect is that there will be more
improvement in Peru the coming
season than at any other time since
the organization of the town.
Mr. J. li. Bryan, the popular Pw.
ru lumber merchant, has sold his en
tire interest to Mr. A. II. Oillett. Mr.
H. intends to leave soon for Colorado.
Flis many friends here will regret to
lose so good a business man-, but it
will be a great satisfaction to the com
munity to know that the business
will be left in the hands of one so well
and favorably known as a gentleman
and thorough business man as Mr.
Giilett.
Prof. J. Gardner Kenyon, the
woild renowned Ventriloquist, gave
one of his celebrated veiitriloquial
exhibitions at the Uriel; church in
Peru on Thursday night February
Sth, which proved highly entertain
ing to the large crowd in attendance.
The Prof, is a perfect gentleman, and
as a ventriloquist is seldom equalled
by any, and at the eaauot solicita
tion of many of our citizens, he con
sented to repeat the performance at
the same place on the KJth instant,
which if possible was an improve'
ment on tho pivvious exhibition.
Prof. II. although not advertising
himself as a Magician, gave some
very credible exhibitions of the mag
ic art, and not the least creditable
part of which was the lesson it im
parted to the rising generation, which
would lead them lo avoid betting up
on cards or other devices for swind-
fmr the unsophisticated. A remark-
. ...
aUle feature of the ventriloqual per-
A
forinance was the imitation of the
California mocking bird, and as for
catching bees, it almost made one
feel as if in danger of being stung.
The Peru correspondent of Dr.
Ilolliday's dad head newspaper,
thinks a few more democrats in Peru
would make it a very desirable place
to live. If they should manage as
they have in New Yotk city it would
probably hw a good place for the said
correspondent to live, provided he
was inside the ring.
Hon. Win. McLennan of Xeb.
City was in town on last Saturday. I
Mc. is getting quite corpulent in his
old age, but he has lo-t none of his
natural shrewdness and business tact.
He is confident that the Trunk road
will be built the coming season.
The sale of lots in Peru by the
city fathers came of!" on Satuiday
last, agreeable to notice given through
the medium of three dozen mammoth
hand bills, size 3.o inches, and it is
to be hoped that the good citizens of
Peru will not be taxed any more for
public improvements for the next few
years. We have not ascertainetl the
amount of the sale, but judging by

Particulars of tlie Destruction of tile
Steamer America--Sixty Ll c ost.
A liio Janeiro letter gives the de
tails of the loss of the s eaniship
America, on her passage from Buenos
Ayres to Montevideo, on D-e. -.".
The America sailed from Buenos
Ay res on the M of December, taking
lo4 passengers. Her company con
sisted ol ovt'v thirty persons, includ
ing the captain, officers, crew and
servants. On the morning of the 23d,
when Cerreo, a well-known point of
the river, was discovered twelve or
fifteen miles ahead, one of her boiler
tubes exploded. The steam rushed
out into the fire-room, in-tantly scald
ing to death two llremeu and onecoal
heaver who were oiling portions of
the machinery. At the same time it
extinguished all the lights, and scat
tered .ive coals all about the room.
Hetween the boilers and the steamer's
side the heat wan o intense that it
was impossible to remain longer be
low. The chief engineer informed Capt.
Ho-ssi of the fact, and recommended
'hat pumps should be rigged. He
immediately set them going. The
pumps had not been u-sed for some
time and were in bad order. In the
mean time it Was deemed advisable
to work the company for the saving
of passengers. Thefire spread rapid
ly, consuming evi-ryihing before it.
The liie being amidships., separated
the steamer's company and passen
gers into two portions, naturally
cau-ing a panic and promising de
ploiiible couf.iioii. A scene en-tiod
which it is impnviblc to describe. Of
all the boats of the steamer only two
could be lowered. The others, not
having been usetl for some time, were
secured so firmly in boat stocks thai
it was found next to itnpo-sible to re
move them. The two which were
launched were immediately swamped
by the half-crazed passengers. Some
of the more energetic pa .engers tried
to launch the other boats, but it was
impossible.
At litis time the officers had !ot ail
control over the crew, who, with re
volvers, were disputing ami fighting
with the passengers for the maau of
saving life. No signals were made to
the pas-5 tig -teamcr Villa de Salto
which would indicate any unusual
danger on board the America, and not
until the flames burst out into sight
wa- tlte office! in charge of the Villa
de Salto aware of any trou'do or dan
ger. When he discovered them he
Immediately put back lo the assist
ance of the America.
The captain of the America, Bossi,
was the ftr-t to abandon his steamer,
taking refuge on board the Italian
ve.-sel of war, where he lias -inee re
mained. His cuirseiias ec!tiol uni
versal indignation in Montevideo and
Hueiios Ay res. He is threatened with
being lynched if he appear on shore.
