THE EDITOR'S BOY.
by jonN . jmsaiJtER
There's lately been born a yonng grlnterf.
A mischievous broth of a lad ;
And the folks take the trouble to mention,
lie's the becond edition of Dad.
He's not two weeks born, please remember.
Hut (confidentially bpeaking to you),
He's the gayest old ropster but listen,
While's mentioned some things he can.ao,
He can stay out o' nights like n rowdy,
And chew "Virginia Leaf" rare to see-.
Ho can smoke "Henry Clays" with a flourish.
And swollow hot toddies, he can..
He can sport with the women es anturali
Asanvold duck lnth&Iandrs
And can show as mueb cheek as r "dealer.
That's pushing a qpeoc" kind of hand.
He's immense In a "fRsnch" tilt at billiards,
At faro or poker he's loud.
He cau blnff off" a game like an artist,.
And hoe Ills ownirow In a crowd.
They call him a sweltand accuse him,
Of sowing wild oats-rather young;
But he winks itfs loftea? and informs them,
He's fondout tbo way It Is done,
In "policy" the boy's not a dummy.
He plays a squaro game with the rest.
And can put ihj a "boss" or a "saddle,"
And win on a"gig" with the best.
He's brash in.asmalrgume of keno.
Handles "chi-"' oh, so easy and free,
lie's the gayest old trump In the business,
And a boy of the period, is he.
As was mentioned before, he's a rooster.
That's narrowed down things pretty hne,
Who will splice before long, it Is whispered,
Just to show to the world he's on time.
There's no rubbint: it out, he's a masher,
Not a drop of bnd blood to alloy;
He's a rock of the very llrst water.
This ten-day old Editor's Boy.

Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
We have just returned from a tour
out through Xemaha, Johnson, Paw
nee and Richardson counties. We
were pleased with what we saw, and
enjoyed the feast set out heforc us by
the grand combination of nature and
art. Fields of waving grain wheat,
rye and barley just beginning to re
flect a light tinge from the green and
bowing well developed heads in obe
isance to the gentle breezes that were
passing. Oats and corn looking well;
yet, lields of the latter on the high
lands seem to be outstripping that of
the low-lands in thfr race to- maturity.
No rude structures are to be seen ; and
those architectural anomaliesof other
days have crumbled and passed away
and given place to the fine and more
pretentious residences that are spring
ing up on every side surrounded
with beautiful grounds, filled in their
season with all kinds of fruit,, flower-,
evergreens and forest trees. While
endeavoring to call to mind anything
in our experience that ejaals ia beau
ty and extent the scene before us, our
thoughts wander back to- when we
were entranced with the seenery of.
Britain her mountains, lakes and
valleys ;"hor cities nnd villages". It
would require a life time to study her
London, and whether wandering
through her thoroughfares, her Parks,
and her Zoological gardens ; whether
viewing the interior of the ancient
Abbey of Westminister, or the relics
of her historic Tower ; whether stand
ing under the dome of St. Paul's Ca
thedral, gazing intently on the mas
sive structure around and above us;
whetherstrolling through an earthly
paradise as it were, enraptured with
the beauties of her Crystal Palace ; or
traveling on the Seine, admiring the
vine-clad hills of France, then into
Paris ; whether wandering along her
"Boulevards and Avenues, with beau
ty and splendor shining down upon
us from every side ; whether admir
ing in turn her numerous places, all
interesting and grand her Place de
la Concorda and Vendome ; the Palais
nnd garden of the Tuileries ; the
Champs Elysees, the Madaline, Pan
theon, Plais du Luxembourg, Corps
Legislatif, the ruins of Hotel de Vil
le and Emperors Palais, Grand Opera,
the Tomb of Napoleon I, the Sewers
and Catacombs, the Morgue, tl.c
Louvre and the parks, palaces nnd
fountains of Nessailles, with her five
gallaries containing six miles of por
traits and paintings ; and whether
wandering through the gorgeous Ca
thedral of Notre Dame, and gazing
with astonishment and wonder, upon
the sublimity of the massive struc
ture, the golden crosses and imagery,
and glittering works of superstition.
But pardon us, Mr. Editor, until we
follow the guide down into the crypt,
with gingliiig keys and flickering
light, before whom the ponderous
doors swing back to admit us, then
close us in ; when we follow on with
nervous step in that awful place,
peering into the gloom all around us
with no sound save the terrible echoes
of every foot-full ; dark passages lead
otF to the right and left the air is
damp and foul great drops of sweat
drop from our forehead as we imagine
we feel the heated breath of bearded
Monks and scowling Infadels whose
dust lie beneath the cold marble forms
that frown down upon us. On, on,
through the dark avenues lined on
either side with the dusty remains of
the principal actors on the stage of the
inquisition. Here lies the remains of
Voltaire, Burrounded by those of his
compeers, and as we stand and gaze
into the dark and dusty vault
which he was laid, we wonder to ou
self, whether it is real or whether we
are in a dream. Our crafty guide,
taking advantage of our musings,
stole slyly away, and with his dark
robes gathered closely about him, and
his head bent forward, his kew- at
tling at his side, while with his left
hand lie held his light above him,
which was dim and growing dimmer,
and with his right hand he clasped
something to his bosom. We were
about to grope our way in attempting
to follow after we stopped to listen,
but he had scarcely disappeared in the
gloom, when we were suddenly hrous
ed if from a dream we were brought
to our senses our imagination
was
transformed into a sphere mundane
in its operation it could not be that
of a fearful storm at-sea, nor the rum
bling of an earthquake, nor yet the
upheavings of Vesuvius ; perhaps
his satanio majesty had just arrived
to convey another cargo to his subter
raneous realm; or some superstitious
agency had called forth the Gods to
chastiBe us for intruding, on sacred
.ground,; nay, it vms aeitlmrof these,
it was ourguido who. had suddenly
fired a pistol in the distance, and1 the
effect iti produced irLeohoing and. reechoing-through,
ihose- subterraneous
passages, with no possible chance for
the sound to escape, un'.il it gradual
ly died away with the retiring rever
ations. was awfully grand. The
simultaneous discharge of a thousand
musketry, eould-not have produced so
.thrilling an, efffecfc ft much resem
bled the-heavy discharge of cannon,
or heavy peals of thunder in a sudden
crash near at hand, and then griMlu-.-nlfy
retreating.. But wo emerge from
this awful place in safefcy, thankful
that we are once more permitted to
sea-fchssun. "We hasten to the Tri
umphal Archv and ascend to the top,
134; feet. The panorama before us is
truly magnificent. 'Tis an ecean of
g ramie uc ,- we ascend-again and again;
wo view the most beautiful city In
the world by daylight, by gaslight
and by moonlight, and on each suc
cessive ascension we find new beau
ties to admire. But we must leave
Paris with her lovely parks, beautiful
streets, magnificent) buildings, gor
geous eclhedrals brilliant fountains,
and glittering palaces, and we return
to our own America, the laud of the
free.
Wo approach the socky shores of
New England; its granite ULlls come
up before us ; the productive niiBes of
old Pennsylvania are passed : the Al
leghanies, the mighty Niagara, the
great lakes, strlf onward across the
fathers of waters and the greo-fe Mis
souri, all are pasced and admired in
turn, yet the beauty and grandeur of
these fertile prairies in their dress of
perennial green cannot be eclipsed ;
perfumed by the fragrance of her
flowers and sprinkled by the dews of
heaven. Many beautiful flowers in
this floral field bedeck hill and dale
from early spring till late in the fall,
distilling their sweetness and bespan
gling and beautifying their emerald
beds with their delightful aroma.
Nature has done her part, and it but
remains for the application of art to
make the most beautiful farms and
hdmes In the world. Already con
siderable pride has been manifested ;
in this direction; all. oyer the settled
portion oi our oeauiwui jeoasKa,
and more particular In these e6untiiT'genuinc Republican principles, and
Tccumseh commands the most
beautiful site, and is the prettiest
piairie town in tho State. Her popu
lation and the number of cozy resi
dences and business houses have ac
tually doubled within the past year.
Her churches and fine 30x00 two-story
school houses just building, speak
volumes for the intelligence of her
people; her public squares and streets
. . , 1... . .....i i
are ueauuueu oy uiikimh-iiiiu mm
shade trees, and plenty of timber and
running water on three sides. Every
thing is push, energy and business.
The Sherman House is now two and
three stories high, with a front of
GlxGG feet. We found tie Chiclain
t fully alive to the interests of Johnson
county, and firm in its support or
Grant and Wilson. The Atchison and
Nebraska R. R- is now completed
twenty miles north of Tectimseh, and
the cars will enter Lincoln about the
4th of July. Thus far there will be
stations, one near Latrobe, at Ster
ling and one half way between Ster-lino-ntui
Tecumseh. These stations
arc about six miles apart. At Tecum
seh, the company's building are erec
ted a half mile southeast of the Court
House. The company has laid out a
town edition, and quite a village ha
already sprung up. P. S. Sheldon,
Esq., of Lincoln, has commenced the
erection of a business block, 50x60
feet, just east of the Sherman House.
On the 4th inst., Johnson county
voted by 127 majority to extend to
the B. Ft. K. & P. R. R. Co., ad
ditional time in which to complete that
,,.. in entitle them to SlfW.000 in
bonds from the county. Considering
the circumstances attending this vote,
nnd the many influence; operating
against it, its most sanguine sup
porters have realized a larger majority
than they anticipated. Johnson coun
ty has done hei duty, and the people
hope to be in actual communication
with Browuville before the first fall of
snow. Considerable speculation i
afloat as to the probable route of this
line westward from Tecumseh, while
many suppose that a line will be con
structed from some point eat of Nur-
' nm on tne Aii.nano i-ae.nc, to
connect Willi wus ronu m. n uci u?
crossing on Spring creek the dis
tance being ten or twelve miles. The
f present location of the B. Ft. K. & P.
jn u. it. appears to mvor isu sujijiusi-
lion, isoining speaKs s .tni mi mc
intelligence of the people of this
comity as the many new school hous
es now being erected. Through the
judicious management of the schools,
land the regulation of the districts by
the o?Z ;.t Supeiintendent. S. Wol-
ford, Esq., the people are all being
accommodated with ample school fa
cilities. Bat to proceed down the A. &- N.
R. R. The station house at Tecum
seh is the best on the line. We were
seated in large, commodious car, be
hind a first class engine. Seven miles
brings us to-Elk Creek station, near
the villane of Butler, named in honor
or nis excellency me ej-ooveniu..
Here are manj' evidences of improve-
ment; Albright & Cody are just com
pleting a. new, grist mill 30x50-feet.
Nest is- Table Rock, eighta miles..
Here are the most extensive improve
ments ; the station is one mile from
Table Rock, proper; quite a town,
with a number of residences and
business houae3 have boen built.
Here the company has. eracted depot
buildings and. are now building a
iarge carpenter shop, machine shop
and- round house. The Pawnee
'branch is graded aboubtwo miles, and
it seems that work has been suspen
ded until some disposition has been
made of the Otoe Indian Reserve
lands. The distance to Pawnoo. City
isseven milas. ICighfc miles further
on is Humboldt, a rapidly growing
town on a baautiful site. From Hum
boldt to Dawson's Mill is eight miles,
and to Salem eight miles more. Here
the station is a mile from. town. Sa
lem is fast? improving, many substan
tial stone and- brick houses are being
erected. The Independent, recently
started hero, is a live paper, credit
able to Salem, and ably edited' bj'
'Frank Barrett, Esq., sou of Judge
Barsett, of Pennsylvania. Frank has
always-been a Democrat, yvt, liks his
Sil-twirlous father and the leading
Democrats of Salem, he cannot swal
low G-r.e&!ey. He awaits the action of
the Baltimore Convention, but be
tween Grant and Greeley, he is for
Grant? Salem has recently erected a
fine two story brick school house,
30x50- feet, which commando- 3. fine
view from, the hill, jlisi back of town.
The Good Templars were holding a
district convention here, and many
temperance folks wereassembledfrora
Richardson and adjoining counties.
Seven miles from Salem is Falls City.
Here the bus carries us one mile into
town. We observe evidences of im
provement on every hand new
chu.Bei?.es, business houses and fine
residences ; a new frame school house
24x40 feet, and stone jnii 16x24 feet.
We have kut one fault to find with
Falls City; they have voted a tax
(and rightfully too) to build a school
to educate their children ; but in the
next move, they tax themselves to
build a jail, to take care of the victims
educated in a half dozen saloons. The
Xemaha Valley Journal has passed
into the hands of Messrs. A. J. Wea
ver and S. A. Fulton, and the people
of Richardson county may flatter
themselves that they have at the head
of lbs- Journal, gentlemen of ability
and influence, who will elevate that
paper to. a position as"cne of the fixsi
in the ranks of journalism ' in, the
State. Truelo its Stfguiftl "rsttlani
the Journal1 is a warm advocate of
fcrong supporter of Grant and Wilson
The people of this county recently
voted on the question of issuing bonds
to build a Court House. The propo
sition was voted down by a large ma
jority. From Falls City to Rulo Y, it is ten
miles, and two miles further to the
town of Rulo. We were not at Rulo,
therefore cannot refer to the improve
ments. No station house has yet
been constructed at either of the two i
latter places. For tho present, none
but freight and an accommodation
train run up to Rulo. It is supposed
that permanent buildings will not be
constructed until work is resumed on
the Trunk road. The three river pre
cincts of this county will vote on the
6th of next month, on the proposition
to issue their bounds to the amount of
$5,000 per mile to the Trunk road.
Tho bonds will undoubtedly carry l3'
a handsome majority, yet the friends
of the Trunk movement should not
relax any effort to have the matter
well canvassed among the people.
I Many influences are at work ugainst
it, the most prominent being a rumor
that ere long the track on tho A. feN.
road .will be taken up from Falls Cita
to some point either at or below White
flniwl nnd that the Trunk road will
be constructed from the the A. & N.
at or near Falls City, thence north
ward via Nemaha City, Browhville,
&c. Many credulous persons are
made to believe that this will actually
be done, and therefore it would be
useless to vote any precinct bonds,
the erreatest ODDOsition being in the
western portion of the precincts. At
a receut meeting of the Commission
ers, an effort was made to divide Rulo
pracinct, for the purpose, it is sup
posed, of weakening the proposition;
but it failed.
We return to Tecumseh, and al
though a few interruptions occurred
to the train, occasioned by the recent
unusual high water in the Great Ne
maha, yet we must say that the A. &
N. is ably and skillfully managed ;
the track is verv smooth and even for
.. i..f
a new road ; the bridges and culverts
f ....
are nil substantially constructed ; tne
buildings are complete and of the first
order, while the managers and em
ployee are experienced and obliging.
We return tnBrownville by stage.
Near the Little Nemaha, grading is
resumed on the B. Ft. K. &. P. R. R.,
and we hope that &ur next trip to Ie-
cumseh from Brownville, will be on
the cars.
Nothing occurred to mar the pleas
ure of our brief trip, save a narrow
escape from a wholesale ducking while
attempting to cross the very narrow
culvert near Harmon's school house,
which was so overflown
with back
.
water from the Nemah
the crossing from s
each side of this narrow passage is a
declivity into nearly twelve feet of
high water. After crossing in safety,
we warned many approaching team
of the danger, but learned that after
wards one of the horsess in the team
of the surveying party was drowned,
while they attempted to crosa. Who
the
proper authorities taka warning?
We did'noto:nitto-notic.e the polit
ical feeling as we passed along; After
the news of the nomination of Grant
and! Wilson had been received, we
foundiit wjth.a very, few exceptions
among Repubiipans. to be universally
approved. Mr. Editor, w.o. found
f Greeley stock at a wonderful discount,;
and that principally held by Demo
crats, and a general determinatipn
among true Republicans to divest
themselves of any mask or political
dodge which has originated with
prominent Democrats north and
south, and the latter very recently
bold leaders and supporters of the
armed; effort to destroy our form of
government. Greeley's present posi
tion Demoeratfi-and ex rebels being
.his main and dependent supporters
and the insincerity of those having
called themselves Republicans, and
acted with the Republican pastg, ad
endorsed every act of tho present) ad
'ministration, up to tho time of the so
called Ivjberal nomination, if nothing
els9, is in itself sufficient to. convince
the-most indifferent of the untenable
position, of this. Liberal movement.
One Andy Johnson is qaito enough,
and if Horace does, not combine the
elemeats necessary to establish a
"A My Polipy.," and attempt to block
the wheels of Legislation., Grata does.
Tho counties we have just returned

jmnjority for thj9 Tanner aud Shoe

CONSUMPTION.
Tlio Proper Climate for Consumptives

Consumption,.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Weare indebted to Dr. E. Andrews,
Professor in the Chicago Medical Colr
lege, for the following. Ln-toirast-ing
facts and statistics, compiled eareful
Iv from the United States, census, in
relation to the number of deaths from
consumption in the different States
and territories:
The last two census reports (1S60
and 1370) issued by our government
have each o quarto volume, showing
the number of deaths in State and
Territory, and the diseases causing
them. By classifying the facts there
stated, it appears, that consumption
fand cancer are twodiseaseawhiliare
similarly affected by, and prevail in
the same regions. Tne laws govern
ing tkeir prevalence ajtf twcsiu num

as you recede from it.

is responsible for this?' Will
oetuim xvi. cuuai '"""" "T'lri.An .wl
North, and diminish as;
you gotsoutn. 1
For example, if you begin in Mis-
Lsachusetts and go westward, the pro
portion of death from consumption
to deaths from all causes regularly di
minish as yen recede from the Atlan
tic. Here are-the figures: Death
Irom consumption in Massachusetts,
25 per cent. ; New York, 2.0 percent. ;
Ohio, 16 per cent.; Indiana, 3,1 per
cent. ; Illinois, 11 per cent. ; Misouri,
i per cent. ; Kansas 8 per cent. ; Col
orado, S per cent. ; Utah, 6 per cent. ;
and then,' if you go down lo Califor
nia, it increases again to l percent.,
on account of-thw proximity of the
Paeiiie Ocean.
A similar decrease is observed if we
go from North to South, as follows;
Michigan, 16 per cent. ; Indiana, M
per cent. ; Kentucky, 14 per cent. ;
Tennea-tee, 12 per cetit.; Alabama, 6
per cent.
From this, it follows that the best
resort for a consumptive or cancer pa
tient is some noint which is nt the
..
from consumption are only 3 per cent,
or Arkanaj, whero thoy are i per
cent. ; while in cold and sea-girt New
England they are 25 per cent. Prob
ablv the uplands of old Mexico would
do still better.
Entirely in accordance with this
rule, but contrary to the popular opin
ion, rrinnesota is a worse place than
our own S'-ite, having 14 per cent of
deaths fr.ri consumption, while Illi
nois has only 11 per eent. Tho bet
places in the country are as follows:
Xew Mexico, 3 per cent; Arkansas, "
per cent; Mississippi. 6 percent; Al
abama, 6 per cent ; Florida, 6 per cent;
Georgia, 5 per cent; South Carolina,
5 percent; and L'tah' (1 per cent.
The census of 1S70, as compared
with the one taken ten ten years be
fore, shows a considerable increase of
consumption in tne r-outnern Mines
and a diminuation of it at the North.
This is probably due to the moving of
