A DREAM.
BY iflNNIE LEE,
Imagination wiriKs her fl!(iht
Atlown the sen of tiino HUlilime,
Wher the years ri.se up In golden light
On the slarry wlnics of time; '
And inernory'h bells nil the quiet niht
With their merry, musical chimes
And iznza on tlie beautiful p:vst to-nlj;ht,
And dream In its -unny clime.
Fair childhood's land seems very bright
To my wvnry heart, just now.
While I roam and revel in beauty and light
And jrarlanil mv Youthful brou,- '
With llowers tht wept bright tears of pearl
Ho dewy with hope thy were; '
Wliile zephyrs svvet the bright waves curl
And mystical mu-.ic.tir.
I plav on the hillside once again,
1 cull the roses of joy.
My thoughts go back lua merry strain,
And Hie .seems a golden tov
A butterfly with gilded wings
ForeluldUh ft-t-t to cli.s-
Since then lion manv phantom things
I've followed In hfe'rf race !
Tremulous strains fall on my ear.
i ui! niuci .Allium ii eve,
lint floating through the moonbeams.elear
l)ark webs of sorrow wave
Ami III! my begirt Willi saddest tone
With thoughts so sad and wild.
Of forms and scenes forever gone
That ble.sed me when a child.
The breeze across my mignonette
Comes breathing sweet and low,
To walce sad sleeping memories
Of evenings long ago!
I thought Ihat I had driven back
Sueii memories as these;
Hut now they all return again
On a whi-pering Autumn breeze.
Fond words ronierlnglng through my brain.
That 1111s my heart with woe;
O.Uod! what brought them back to-night
Kv.tiln t)f long ago!
I se. the green lanes where we straved,
And love, so true, was mine;
The same blest breeze that fans my cheeks
Sweeps softly over thine.
Deep wortls of love pour from thv lips
Not measured, cold and slow
As those 1 now hear O. I nine
For ilio evenings of long ago!
I thought I had forgotten thee,
Hud schooled my aching heart
To pas through life as best I may,
And act my weary part.
Alas! the mocking vl- loti'n o'er.
Too soon, alas! I know
"I'w.is hut my sadness that dreamed
Of evenings long ago!
And fame has now a voice to love,
Ambition's pulse beats hiuh:
And ifirlhood's brightly colored dream
Is laid away without a sigh.

WHAT GKEELljSM MEANS.
GREELEY DOCTRINE RIPOCND
ED BY GKEELEYITKS.
Who Carry tlie Greeley Banner IVhat
la Inscribed ou It Tlie Rallylug-
Crlea of II. Followtri.
The first paper in the United Stater
to nominate Horace Greeley as a can
didate for the Presidency was the Lex
ington (Mo.) Caucasian, and in an ac
knowledgement thereof, Mr. Greeley
wrote the editor of the Caucasian a
letter of thanks for the interest he
had manifested in his behalf. These
facts gave pertinency to the appended
declaration of principles, which is re
priuted without the change of a word
or letter from the delectable organ to
which Mr. Greeley specially belongs
y right of original discovery :
PLATFORM OF THE FIRST GREELEY
PAPER IN THE COUNTRY.
"State sovereignty ! White suprem
acy and repudiation ! This is liberty!
uur motto: Sever despair of the Ke
publie. Our platform : The Consti
tution of 1S60, and the rights of the
States.
"Our doctrines: This is a white
man's Government, made by white
men, for white men and their poster
ity forever.' I own with the Fif
teenth Bedamendment! Total repu
diation of the monstrous Yankee war
debt. That accursed unconstitutional
burden, accumulated by an unconsti
tutional mob, styling itself a Congress,
in tne prosecution ot an unconstitu
tional crusade for the aeeomnlishinent
of an unconstitutional and horrid pur
pose. Dow n with bond-holders and
taxation ! Subordination of the mili
tary to the civil authorities! Down
with thesatrups! Equal taxation and
the rightful n presentation of all the
Slates, or anot 1-er rebellion! Revolu
tion must be met by couuter-revolu-lion
! Force by force ! Violence by
violence! And urpation should be
overthrown, if med be, by the bayo
net ! Down with test oaths and reg
istration! Vive la Jiepubliyite J For
President, Horace Greeley, of New
York ; for Vice President; B. Gratz
Brown, of Missouri."
GRANT MUST BE ASSASSINATED IF
GREELEY IS DEFEATED.

Priest, Caiphas, expressed that las-tro-t-ort

and patriotic words : 'It is expedient
for us that one man should die for the

THE FOURTEENTH AND
AMENDMENTS- FRAUDS
FIFTEENTHS
uponi 'iirfcl
' 'CONSTITUTION.
. Judge Jeremiah S. Black, of 'Penn
sylvania, in his letter announcing hi.
purpo.se to support Horace Greeley,
speaks of the reconstruction act as u
cruel ami unjust bill of attainder. Of
the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ni'iits he says: "They were frauds
upon the spirit and letter of the in
strument, inasmuch as they etteeted
the woive outrage which it was niude
to prevent."
REPAYMENT OF THE SOUTH FOR HER
PROPERTY AND SLAVES.
From the speech of K.t-Govern or Brown,
Greeleyile, at Nashville, Tenn.j
"I do not care what Greeley has
said in the past against the South and
its institutions. It is enough for me
to know that now lie is iii favor of
restoring her to her pristine rights
Greeley, if elected, will pay the'lonses
of the South."
Fr.nu th speech, of Hon. E. .1. Gollawav.
M. C. from Nashville, at the hame inee't
Iuk.J "Greeley, at the outset of the war,
was in favor of letting the 'wayward
sisters depart iu peace,' and afterward
went single handed and alone to meet
our Commissioners iu Cunada, to t;eat
for peace. Not a Democrat in the
North dared to go with him or mani
fest any desire to go. He wa then in
fuv r of paying the South for her
slaves, anil I believe he is still."
"THE OLD REBEL YELL" REVIVED.
From the speech of E. J. Ellis, Greelej
Stump Orator, at Monroe, La.
Twelve millions of people would
hail, as a lover hails the dawn of a
first smile, the Hash of the first brave
word drawn lor veiigeneeand liberty.
1 know what i swelling in every
heart, that if we could go forth into
the tented field again, and align our
selves in battle array, and iu one
brave conflict determine our weal or
woe, and whether ourselves, our
wives ami children should be -.laves
for all time to come, how gladly we
would dare the i-si,e It woo id be
either swift death or glorious vic
tory." Of that resolution of the Cincinnati
nnd Baltimore platforms, which de
clares that its subscribers "remember
with gratitude the heroism and sacri
fices of the soldiers an sailors of the
Republic " tlie Quitman (Gh.j" lian
iur, which supports the Greeley
movement, has this to say:
"The atrocities of tlie Northern
soldiery are still too fresh in our
memory; the scars on our hearts are
not yet erased ; the names of Chicka
mnuga and Ehnirn still xiniuise the
eyes with tears and the heart with
terrible thouirhts of vengence."
GREELEY WILL DO THE BIDDING OF
DEMOCRACY..
From the speech of Hon. .lames Reek, of
Kentucky, Greeley Slump imitor.j
"Should Greeley, if elected, at
tempt to be dishonorable or ipdeavor
to enact any obnoxious principle of
Radicalism, a Democratic Congress,
that was certain to be chosen with
him. would hedge him in and render
his eilbrts harmleas ; and that when
it was nece-sury to secure such lei;is
lation as the Democracy deem wi.e.
they would demand and compel Mr
Greeley to yield acquiescence."
THE SOUTHERN SOLDIERS TO BE PEN
SIONED. From the Hlnghiiinton (N. Y.) Republican
"More frank than a majority of the
Democrats. Mr. Lewis Carmichael
never, during the war. pretended to
be in sympathy with the North, but
on the contrary, he favored the Con
federacy. Like Horace Greeley, he
would pay slaveholder for the prop
erty Mr. Lincoln's emancipation proc
lamation deprived them of. But he
had a special mission to secure the
passage of a bill in Congress provid
ing that pensions be paid to Southern
disabled soldier; in fact, that the
pension laws now existing apply to
all cases of death or iniurv cau-ed bv
,,. ,, wtaUttr ,,,,, Union
BROWNVTLLE. NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1872.
Confederate armies Mr. Greeley was
written to in its relation, and answer

HR FAVORED THE PEN- cans, the Democratic party, with its
ace said
SfOX PROPOSITION. AND BE-
LIKVED IT RIGHT TOWARD
THE SOUTH, ALTHOUGH HE
FELT SURE CONGRESS WOULD
NOT EN ACT SUCH A PROVISION.
This is no prediction, tor we read the
letter, and, therefore, know whereof
we ainrm."
GREELEY'S OWN TESTIMONY AS TO THE
Kl'-KLU-T SPIRIT IN THE SOUTH.
From II. G.'.s Memphis Letter to the Tribune
"The Republicans uniformlv testify
that there was AN ORGANIZED
AND ARMED CONSPIRACY
whereby they, and especially the
blacks, were deterred from voting
that ottering to vote would have cost
them their lives that the Democrats
were determined to carry the State
for Seymour, ami did c?irry it, by SYS
TEMATIC TERRORISM, against
which the poor and humble durst not
contend.

CONDITION OF THE SOUTH IN THE

The Democrats of the South, if
Horace Greeley is elected, will lie the
worst disappt) nted set of men vou
oversaw. I don't believe Mr. Gree
ley hss sold out to them as they think
he has, and there's sure to lie a fight
unless these secessionists down here
are allowed to manage him. You

DETECTIVE MICROSCOPY.
The uses of science for the detec
tion of disproof of crime hare been
greatly celebrated in theoretical dis
quisitions, but do not always establish
themselves when the law seeks to
avail itself of them in practical case3.
Recent trials of alleged poisoners hare
developed very little apparent trust
worthiness in chemical analysis and
micro-copical tests for tlie determina
tion of questions respecting the char
acter and quantity of poisonous drugs
supposed to be preent in the human
remains subjected to examination.
and the various ingenious attempts
mane rrom ume to time in French
courts to utilize the camera for detec
tive purposes have scarcely proved
more satisfactory. It mar be, how
ever, that mere quackery of science,
rather than its professional exactness,
is what lawyers have willfully cited
to confuse rather than in teresfun pro
fessional jurymen ; and that, in dava
of less audacious pettifogging, crime
may yet be made to tremble before
witnesses who by the wonders of sci
entific vision may be able to trace the
criminal unerringly in every step of
his dark commission. The subject is
suggested by an article in a late num
ber of the English Journal of Micro
scopy, describing the experience of
one Dr. B. in what may be technical
ly called the detective ue of the mi
croscope. Having used the latter in
strument for many ears in his study
of comparative anatomy, the medical
practitioner in question has been par
ticularly impressed by the varieties of
hair appertaining to the human and
brute creations, and believes himself
able to tell not only from what race of
man white or black or from what
particular animal, or part thereof, a
given hirsute tuft has been taken, but
also whether it has been removed by
violence or not. Consequent upon his
fame in this relation, there came to
him, not long ago, enclosed iu an en
velope, u number of short hairs, with
the tequest- that he would examine
them and give his judgment of their
character. Submitting them to a mi
croscope, tie round mat tney were
from the human eyebrows, and had
been greatly bruised; and recorded
hi decision. to that effect upou a pa
per with them iu the envelope. Soon
thereafter a it ranger called for the
letter; and, though tendering a fee
for thejirofesaioual aervice rendered,
abstained from reveaiiug why the ex
amination had been asked. It ensued
however, that Dr. B. was to hear more
of the matter, for he was presently
subpcenied to attend ut the L assizes
as a witness, for prosecution in a mur
der case. A man had been killed by
a heavy blow upon the eyebrow with
some blunt instrument; upon a ham
mer found iu the possession of the
suspected murderer had been discov
ered the hairs which had been sent to
themicroscopist, and the hitter's iden
tification of thee hairs uas just the
link in the chain of evidence requi
site to fasten the crime upon the ac
cused. It required no little positive
assurance from the presiding judge
that theat.Vcientifio'elJtraiouy was
incontrovertable to inducefthe jury to
act upon it and render a verdict of
conviction, and even theu one of the
jurors was skeptical a4 to the exact
ness of the science involved. A-king
the doctor if he could surely disting
uish the hair of the creature, or part,
from another, and being answered in
the attirmatve, he expressed an in
tention to test tho matter for himself
at some future time. Accordingly,
one day in the same week the skeptic
appeared at the mieroseopist's office
with a lock of soft, dark hair, and
with few words, leaving it for identi
fication, departed for the neighboring
house of a friend. When next he
cilled he wished to know "what kind
of a person" hail been the original
possessor of the hair? To which Dr.
B. responded with due gravity that,
according to the revelation of his mi
croscope, it had been taken from the
back of a Norway rat sometime after
death. And this wa exactly the
truth. The ex-juror had a hoii in
Norway from whom he had received
a Norway ratskin, wherefrom he had
plucked the tuft with which he hop-
ed to battle the pretences o science.
Of course the result let him in no
doubt as to the incriminating testi
mony of the hairs which had been
found up'Mi the hammer, and he went
on his way thoroughly oonvinced that
the microscope is an instrument of
vital importance to society.
A y-'Ung minister who had been in
vited to preach in a church where the
congregation were very much oppos
ed to written sermons, found himself
in a very unusual and unpleasant
condition when he rose to announce
hihdiscour.se. He had never preach
ed without notes, and all his ideas
lied as soon as he hail announced his
text. He paused; told how his text
was. divided ; paused again; repeated
tils text, and then made aeveral un
successful ettbrts to say something
aboiitsomethiug. He tried the crea
tion, but that would not do. Then
he attempted something about the pa
triarchs of old, but failed again E
eiylbing seemed very dark to him
until he thought of Jose. h. He had
read so much of him that he wassure
he remembered his history. "Now,
bretnren," said he, "Jacob had twelve
children. Yes, (raising his voice,) he
had twelve son-. That good old fath
er (raising his voice utill higher) had
twelve sons, ami. brethren,, they were
all boy3." With this he sat down
very suddenly, and then rose and
gave out the iloxologv.

PUTTING GRINDSTONES IN ORDER
It is Impossible for anyone to grind
a tool properly on a stone tnat wab
bles like a drunken cart wheel. In
order to grind the basil of a chisel or
plane-iron true, the periphery of
the grindstone mti3t revolve as true
as a millstone. The first step towards
putting a stone in proper oriier is to
measure from the centre or the eye to
the periphery, on four sides, for the
purpose of determining whether the
stone has been worn off more on one
side than on the other. When a stone
Is driven by a treadle, a large part of
the grinding is done on one side of
the stone when the treadle is go.ng
down. In such a case the stone sbo'.i
be re-hung with the journal , nearer
one side of the eye than the centre of
it. After it has been hung as true as
practicable, screw down the caps of
tiie bearing boxes so that the journal
will have no play ; thn, with the end
of an old file, turn a small groove
near each edge of the periphery, after
wiueii uress on each side with asharp
cold chisel an inch or more from the
grinding surface. Now fix a solid
rest close to each side of the stone,
turn a small groore in each side of the
stone, and dres ott" the prominent
parts with a sharp cold-chisel. Al
ways cut horizontally toward the
middle of the stone from each side,
and thus avoid splitting awav large
chips from the side of the periphery.
Always use a light hammer or mal
let and a small half inch chisel, rath
er than a heavy hammer and chieel.
With a heavy hammer and large chis
el, there will be great danger of chip
ping ott a large piece of the stone be
yoi.d the mark. With a lignt ham
mer and small chisel, one can fit up
the periphery of a wabbling grind
stone, iu x bfiff space of time, so that
it will revolve satisfactorily true.
Industrial Monthly.
There is a mnu in Darby, Pa.v who
purchased a bull dog, which he pro-
pusfu io lurti ioosw iu nis store at
night in order to scare away buglars.
The first evening after he obtained
possession or tlie animal he locked it
in the store and went away a happy
man. Tlie next morning, early, lie
went around to the store and unlock
ed the door. The dog was vigilant
the man was surprised to pwrceive
how exceedingly vigilant the dog
was for no sooner was the door open
than the dog seized his owner bv the
leg, suddenly, and seemed to be ani
mated by an earnest and vigoro'tis res
olution not to let go until it had re
moved at least one mouthful. And
the man pushed the dog back and
shut the door on its ntw until the an
imal relaxed its jaws; and then the
man kicked the dog into thestoreand
shut the door as if he was in a hurry
to do something. Then he suspend
ed business for a week, and spent the
vacation firing at that dog through
the windows and down the chimney,
and up through the cellar ceiling,
with a shot-gun, trying to extermin
ate him. And that mercantile estab
lishment did not open for trade until
the man had paid twice the first cost
of the dog to the dog's former owner
to come and take it home; and ttien,
when he got in, he found that during
the bombardment holes had been shot
through mackerel barrels, molasses
cans and col oil kegs, so that there
was msery and ruin everywhere.
Dogs have no more charms for this
man ; and if you allude in his pres
ence to the noble work that is being
done by the woman's branch of the
society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals, that merchant is always
observed to rise up and swear.

Now this is too bad ! A woman who

three, has sued a boy of nineteen, in
Detroit, for breach of promise of mar
riage. Women who desire to specu

get gain by a broken heart, might be
excusetl if they exercised their busi

and varied experience, but to take ad
vantage ot u boy iu this way is too
much of a confidence operation. We
trust that the intelligent jury will
