IV HAT BECOMES OP EDITORS!
What becomes of the Editors?
That's what we'd like to know;
They do a heap of good on earth,
And to heaven ought to go ;
But something seems to tell us
They are a peculiar set,
And in the great hereafter
Will be "left out in the wet,"
We've been thinking this question over,
And It troubles us a heap
It comes to us In the daytime,
And with dreams disturbs our sleep ;
But the more we con the question
The deeper It &eems to get.
And brings us to this conclusion
They'll be "left out in the wet."
Now reasoh yourself a moment.
Would it do to let them in?
Wouldn't they go to interviewing.
And discussing everything?
Wouldn't they liavo two parties,
And a hobby, too, to pet?
That thing would never do up there I
They'll be "left out in the wet."
It's Very well to smile, sir,
And to say our head ain't level ;
But did you ever know an Editor
That didn't have a "devil?"
You don't suppose for a moment
That he in ibero could get
And be calling "copy!"
They'll be "left out in the wet."
There's one more point we'll mention
We hope you won't get offended
But it's "currently reported"
That "the free list is suspended.l'
Now did you ever know an Editor
That has "pulled his weasel," yet?
They're not agoin' to do it there
They'll stay "out In the wet."

AN ELOQUENT ADDRESS.
The following ia tlie welcome ad
dress delivered at Lincoln on the 21st
ult., on the occasion of welcoming the
Kansas Editors at the Capitol. The
orator was Ex-Attorney Gen. Roberts:
On behalf of the municipality of
the citv of Lincoln, its citizens and
the people of the whole State of Ne
braska, I bid you welcome to its Cap
ital City ; welcome as citizens of a
sister State and of our common coun
try; welcome as friends, with your
wives, your sweethearts and your
pretty cousins. In looking over this
assemblage, to-night, I am reminded
of a story attributed to the great
Erskine: In a time of threatened
public danger, the lawyers had
promptly formed a regiment. His
Majesty reviewed it; when turning
to its Colonel, he said, "What regi
ment is this?" "The Devil's Own,"
responded Erskine. You, gentlemen
of the Press, have this advantage,
"you own tho, Devil." Like him, you
are continually roaming up and down
the earth, the burning sun of the
tropics, fever, pestilence, death even,
oflei no insuperable barriers to your
insatiable curiosity. You find Liv
ingston alive when all believed him
dead; and my word for it, the bones
of Sir John Franklin, and the open
Polar Sea will not be discovered until
some Stanley in a Press yacht starts
to find them. The Press Polaris will
yet be moored to the North Pole. I
think the prees of the country ought
to be able to find dead men from the
lively manner in which they have
lately been engaged in the manufac
tnrn nf first-class political corpses. It
is the dutv of the Dress to keep watch
over the career of the political leader,
and publicity is the natural safeguard
of freedom. In the strife of parties,
errors will be committed, severity
nt ill be often indulged, and the shad
ow of suspicion converted into the re
ality of guilt. Still I believe that
the press and the people will finally
be just. Because the argus-eyed free
Prpsa nf the llenublic lias discovered
and justly denounced official mendac
ity and corruption in high places,
hunted the guilty down until they
have died the death amidst the filth
and slime of political prostitution ;
because of this fact, I say the mon-
archial press of the old worm nas
scornfully said. "Behold the honesty
of the Republic." But it cannot be
doubted, that had the keen scrutiny
of our reporters and editors been turn
ed upon the secrets of the despotic
rule of Napoleon, had directed the
burning gaze of the public eye upon
the sickening debauchery of the Court
of Isabella of Spain, of the ultra
montanes of Bavaria, or the clerical
Officials of Autonelli, our American
Legislatures would have seemed in
contrast symbols of purity Every
statesman or political leader tunong
us, lives in the condition of the Ro-
man Senator, ana uus u muuonw
eyes watching him at home and
abroad. Nothing is hidden from the
keen eye of the pross. Publicity is
the 'natural trait of a free government.
If crime and defalcations occur, polit
ical and moral corruption startle us
on all sides ; it is proof at least that
the guilty are not hidden from obser
vation by the selfish delicacy of a rul
ing caste, or protected by absolute
power from the scrutiny of the law.
Honesty is almost exclusively a Re
publican virtue. The conception of
hnnpstv adorned the democracy of
Athens. The just Arestides wander
ec in t.itiprfld rnhes beneath the Ac
ropolis, the graceful Pericles boasted
that he had taken nothing from his
countrymen ; Phocion rejected the
Macedonian gifts, and the Athenian
treasurers were vain of the accuracy
of their counts. "To be as honest as
a Huguenot," was the last testimony
of decaying France to the superiority
of public virtue. Colbert was the lat
of her honest statesmen. In England
the nation made slow progress, and
in the last century Walpole bribed
whole parliaments, and members of
parliament have never ceased to bribe
their electors.- Honesty crowned with
signal lustre, the founders of l?,e
American Republic, and the heart of
the whole nation is more tine to-uay
tu the rigid requirements of public
virtue, notwithstanding the many
lapses of our public men, than when
its ancestors first pledged themselves
to its support. Love of country is not
dead to-day. Patriotism to-day
stands once more in the breach asat
Thermonalre. bears down the seried
hosts of Bannockburn ; lays its calm
hand in the fire,.still as if it felt the
pressure of a mother's lips, and gath
ers to its heart the point of opposing
spears to make way for the avenging
feet behind. What then, gentlemen,
do we not owe to a free press ? Look
ing, then, at the power and vigor
thus displayed, does it seem possible
that scarcely three centuries have
flown since the first newspaper was
given to the world from the German
city of Nuremberg in 1457. It was in
tho ennacitv of a news-carrier, (his
original profession) as a hired letter
writer in the pay of a few country
gentlemen, to gather the news and
send a weekly written sketch of his
intelligence and gossip, that Nathan
iel Butters prepared the way for the
first English newspaper printed on a
half sheet in 1621. The story of the
first American newspaper, brief as
was its life, is full of curious interest.
Seventy years after the landing of the
Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, and two
hundred and fifty years after the in
vention of nrinfinf nowinnnpr wa'
Issue his paper once a month, or oft
ener, if there should be a "glut of oc
currences." Unfortunately, the first
American newspaper was suspended,
because, in the language of the order
suppressing it, "it contained reflec
tions of a very high nature." And it
appears to me that American news-
fmpera have, since that time, general
y followed in the wake of their dis
tinguished and extinguished prede
cessor. The progress of American
journalism was comparatively slow
during the first century of Its history,
The appetite for news grows with
what it feeds on. There was a time
when the public was willing to allow
a newspaper three months to catch up
With the news. Now-a-days A news
paper which cannot give all the news
of the world every morning, with
timely and suggestive comments,
might as well give up the ghost, no
body wants it. We, of this age, who
take the moi aing newspaper with our
breakfast coffee, oan hardly realize a
time when newspapers were not.
When the mails were slow and unfre
quent, and it took longer to hear in
New York, from Boston, than now
from the antipodes. To-morrow morn
ing's paper may contain the news of
a muruer comuiitieu iu .cvusuunu,
last night's debate in the British Par
liament. We know almost as soon as
the Parisians every time President
Thiers threatens to resign, and before
he has time to reconsider we are
ready with speculations on the result
of his action.
A hundred years back takes us into
the dark ages of journalism. The
smallest country newspaper of to
day is magnificent, in comparison
with tho Ifeius Lettcrs Gazettes, of
Btruggle; its clear bugle has sounded
the charge, rtmg out the clarion notes
of victory, or retreating to the last
fastness has hurled defiance to the
victor. In chains often, in prison, in
exile, persecuted', scourged, banished
still, amidst all these vicissitudes, the
press has always been the Champion
of liberty, and the eternal foe of tyr
anny. The liberty of the press is the
highest safeguard to all free govern
ments. Ours could not exist without
it. It is with us, nay with all men,
liko a great exulting and abounding
river. On its broad bosom, it bears a
thousand barks. Here genius spread
its purpling sail. Here poetry dips
its silver oar. Here art, "Invention,
discovery, science, morality, religion,
may safely and securely float. 1 am
not here to deny that the river over
leapB its bounds. I do not deny that
streams sometimes becomes a danger
ous torrent and destroys towns and
cities upon its bank. But I am here
to say, that without it, civilization,
humanity, government, all that
makes society itself would disappear
and the world would return to its an-
oient barbarism. To the free press of
Kansas and Nebraska, with your Hag
still full high advanced and waving
majestically in the blue empyrean, I
would say in the language addressed
to the flag of our country :
"Forever float that standard sheet.
Where breathes the foe that falls before us,
With freedom's soil beneatli our feet.
And freedom's standard waving o'er us !"

FATHER CARTER.
A Regular "Ilarrt-Sliell" Sermon;
Franklin's days. What history gives
so graphic and living a picture of the
times as inese uingy, msiguinuaiii
sheets? It is time itself. An eminent
scholar has said, that a copy of the
Athens Tunes (had such a paper exis
ted) of tlie days of Pericles, would
outweigh in historical value, all the
researches and discoveries of the most
learned of antiquaries. And who
knows that not many centuries hence
the world's knowledge of our civil
ization and our progress, may be
drawn from the then misty and in
significant sheets that shall have de
scribed the very events we are now
celebrating. Welcome men, of the
mighty pen. Welcome to the magic
prairie city of the Central State.
Heretofore the river has always been
the parent of the city, but this is the
age of railroads. Rome was planted
by its wolf-nursed founder, by the
golden Tiber; Babylon by the Eu
phrates ; the Nile gave birth to a score
of cities ; the Danube and the Elbe
have been scarcely less prolific, while
the sombre Seine and murky Thames
have built the foggy but ponderous
London, and the versatile Paris. Phil
adelphia and New York, cities of the
new world, were planted by their
founders on the banks of rivers. But
to-dav, through the influence of rail
roads", cities far inland burst into be
ing "like Pallas spriuging armed trom
Jove," and the river and tne steam
boat have, by the decision of the
highest courts, been declared subser
vient to the railway, and the bridge.
It is now arouud the world by rail
with two ocean ferries. Turn your
telescope to our remotest boundary,
and inspect the latent wealth which
needs but the potent touch of the
hand of industry, true wand of Pros
pera, to unlock tho hidden stores of
flower, fruit and golden grain. Be
hold our magnificent prairies waiting
but for tho tinkling of the sheep bells
nml Mm lnwin? of the ouicklv com
ing herds, for here is the world's pas
tiiriirrfi. Here with our vet undevel
oped salt wealth will be erected the
world's packing house. Midway be
'twixt the two oceans, God placed Ne
braska the initial terminus of the
road to India. We are on our road to
India, and the Union Pncifio has
opened that way. Think of how all
nations have striven to reach thatfar
ofF treasury of wealth. From the re
motest antiquity there the then great
warriors went in their bloody tracks
of conquest and rapine. Alexander
the Great, with his ho3ts, and the
Macedonia phalanx went there.
The Roman cohorts and their ea
gles spread far away in the march to
India. The Crusaders were but an
other symptom of that same desire to
possess the wealth and luxuries of the
east for the impoverished west. The
search for the wav to India led Vasca
de Gama around the Cape of Good
Hope, and raised an insignificant peo
ple, the Portugees, to the first com
mercial rank in Europe. Holland,
too, from poverty became a treasury
of riches. England owes all of her
modern power and all of her miracu
lous commercial supremacy to the
possession of "turbannea inoia, wun
her jeweled front." The riches of the
Delta and the treasures of the Levant
are hers. She nlies one spoua oi me
west and gathers to herself tho gums
and spices of the east. She grows ev
ery fruii and flower in the tropical
girdle of the world. She clothes her
daughters in Persian silks, and wraps
her mariners in the furs taken on the
snow hills of the north. "She leads
into her Norman parks the gazelles of
of oriental woods." The sun never
seta in her dominions, and when it is
midnight in Windsor palace, the rays
of that orb are returning to throw in
their splendor among the diamonds
which sparkle in the august crown of
Victoria.
Russia, from a wild ratfe of barbar
ious Tartars, without outlet to the
sea.Jias become a mighty Empire;
advancing in wealth and civilization,
and till because of her direct commu
nication with Oriental commerce.
Whoever possesses the road to In
dia possesses the commerce of India,
and holds the wealth of the world at
his command. France felt this to be
so, and she once ruled from the River
Kistna to Cape Cormonn, and in ner
name Duplex reigned there with the
wealth aud power ot a potentate, sne
intrigued and she fought for it, and
she lost it at Pondicherry. when the
genius of Clive rose riumphant, and
for it she sent Napoleon into Eirypt.
Russia feels it and she is marching
on to Constantinople, and sends her
legions Indiaward. We know it, and
open communication with Japan ; we
make treaties With China, and we
construct an iron track over our own
continent, across which our own
steamers will yet bear usthe accumu
lated wealth of ages.
Welcome, then, gentlemen of the
nres3. to this citv of the prairie. Wel
come, knights of an ancient guild,
members of a noble profession, which
needs rfo higher encomium than to
say, that in preserving art, science,
religion, virtue, it has by its trench
ant blade maintained inviolate
to the people, that liberty our first
parents received fresh and pure from
the hands of God. In all the varying
struggles of the people against' kinglv
ATy Dear DaxigMer Grace :
I left Nebraska City Monday morn
ing, May 12. (as you already know,)
took dinner at Lincoln and at one
o'clock and thirty minutes took the
B. & M. R. R. in Nebraska, and
Monday evening at nine o'clock, was
at Kearney Junction, 150 miles from
home. Tuesday noon took dinner at
Cheyenne, and at 3 o'clock Tuesday
was on the summit of the Rocky
mountains. On Wednesday morning
I found myself at Green river and
Wednesday night at Ogden on Salt
Lake ; changed cars at this place aud
started direct for California. Rode all
night and next day through a dreary
country. This morning (priaay)
took breakfast on the top of the Sierra
Nevada mountains ; at noon I was in
a country where nature and art with
lavish hands have strewn the beaute
ous landscape with all that is rich,
rare, lovelv and glorious.
Roses were in full bloom, strawber
ries and cherries, ripe, and farmers
cutting wheat, in the most delightful
country I ever saw ; orchards, vine
yards and groves, and the most beau
tiful trees the eye of man ever yet res
ted upon.
It never freezes, never snoWs, they
have green peas and beans every
month in the year and also strawber
ries. Orauges and figs, and in short
fruit of all kinds abounds. I have
never before seen such a paradise on
earth. It is beautiful beyond the
power of language to describe.
Looking from the window of my
room, my eye rests upon lovely laud-
The Southern Magazine has a
sketch of P.ather Carter, a "hard
shell" Baptist preacher, whose youth
had been spent in the mountains of
Carolina, but who was a famous
preacher In his persuasion. He was
an enthusiast on tlie subject of "im
mersion," and being strong in his
own conviction, earnest and decided
in expressing them, he influenced
others. He gathered around him as
disciples men of higher cultivation
than himself Hi3 preaching would
astonish any city congregation, but it
was at least stirring in its character.
In tho woods and under the giant
trees and in the log school-nouses of.
California, where he was brought into
contact with minds as rude and unin
formed as his own, it was that his
emotional nature met a responso aud
carried his audiences with him. A
favorite sermon of his he called his
"eagle" sermon, and wa3 from a text
in Deuteronomy : "As an eagle stir
reth up her nest, fluttereth over her
young, apreadeth abroad her wings,
taketh them." The writer once
heard it, and its general tenor is in
delibly imprinted on his mind. Af
ter a long continued exercise, he be
gan :
My friends, thar is menny kinds of
eagles. They are singular birds that
is, they is quare birds. Thar is the
gray eagle, with white hairs on his
head 5 thar is the bald eagle ditto,
who goes about like a roiTrln' lion
seeking what he may eat up. Thar is
the grand old Amercan eagle, what
flops his wings and flies over all crea
tion ; and I hev heern tell of a-doub-le-hedder,
an Austrian, but I never
seed one, and I don't believe thar is
one though thtlt don't signify, fur
some of you -uns might say you
hadn't never seed God, consequently
thar wurnt none. But thar is never
theless, notwithstanding fur which.
Now E onct knowed an eagle that
is, I knowed on him and her too, fur
thar wur two on 'em, a big rooster ea
gle and a hen eagle. It wur iu the
big mounting of Caroliuy ; and thar
they pitched their tents in a tall nnd
towering pine right in the top and
it hung over a deep precipice, whar
it wur in danger of being participated
down the precipice when the "loud
winds did roar on Carohny's shore."
scape, mountains on either side of the
valley, and the valley from ten to fif
teen miles in width, with fine streams
of water meandering through it ;
beautiful homes surrounded with
groves and orchards of pears, appri
cots, plums, etc., It is indeed a lovely
valley. I doubt if there be another
such on earth. Such a variety and
such rapid growth of shrubs, trees,
flowers and fruits, you have never
pictured, iiragined or deemed possi
ble ; fountains are bursting forth in
every yard, tall, stately evergreens,
rose trees covered with every conceiv
able variety of roses, flowering shrubs
of every hue, fig trees and century
plants growing six incficsin twenty
four hours and blooming in twelve
years from planting.
San Jose is a city numbering from
10,000 to 15,000 inhabitants, and the
schools, colleges and churches attest
to the intel'gence, industry and sobri
ety of tlie people. There is no count
ry that is so desirable between Ne
braska and the Sacremeuto valley.
The climate here is most delightful
andthe coldest weathernever freezes
icomore than one-quarter of an inch
th'ich ; the hottest never exceeds 91
degrees, and that foronly a few days.
The dearest wish df my heart is to
gather together the loved ones of my
home and with them enjoy the sur
passing loveliness of this Eden of
earth. 'Tis a long way from our home
however two thousand miles. When
you are reading this letter I shall be
on my way back, I shall then have
much that is new, pleasing anu inter
esting to' tell you.
Until that happy time I remain
Your loving Father,

But it wurnt ; fur He calleth Mis
sheep by name and they foller Him,
and the desert blossoms like a rose,
and the barren are better than them
that beareth children nevertheless,
notwithstanding fur which.
Wal, these here eagles pitched their
tent in this waste, howling wilderness,
whar they wur as lonely aa a solitary
snipe in dog days.
Fust, they got whar there wur two
cross-limbs ; then they brought big
sticks, and laid 'em carefully round
and round until it begun to look sor
ter like a big balloon careening to tho
sky, only it was on a tree ; then they
put in little sticks, and littler and lit
tler, till bimeby it wur small and
compack like. Then they got all tne
wool aud down and moss and soft
things, and put ,em down into the
bottom, and on the sides of its insides,
and made it smooth and warm and
com.'ortable like like unto the man
that filled his barns, and told Ins soul
to be easy and take things nateral like
and laid their eggs thar but fur the
terrible "be" that is, he wur to die
that very night, and all his nico
things wouldn't be enny more use to
him though they wurn't hurt, fur
thair eggs were hatched and all their
young tins came out with narry a sin
gle feather on them nevertheless,
notwithstanding fur which.
Wal, these eaghs and thair young
uns in thair fine home, and had on
soft clothing like John the Immerser
wandering in the wilderness, wnar
they wur in the kings' houses aud
the big uns fed 'em, as parients feed
thair little uns though thar's a com
mandment agin stealing, which the
eagles have to do, but it's thar satur
though that don't signify, fur a
man's natur is to steal sometimes,
and he's got to fito agin that natur ;
fur when I would do good, evil is prer
ent and a man aint an eagle bird by
chauce nevertheless' notwithstand
ing fur which.
When the eagles growed up and
had feathers that is, when they came
to the age of countability, which is
expected of boys and girls like
though eagles natur is different then
the old eagles wanted them to fly
abroad and mount up on wings of ea
gles, and jine the song that floats
around tlie throne. And that's whar
the text begins ; for that's the way
the Father up yonder wants us to do
when we reach the age of countabili
ty to fly upward to fly upward and
jine the band In the narrer way, and
passs through the strait gate. But
M.pv didn't like to leave home and
thair kindred and thair parients, and
seek a country like unto the good old
Abraham
"Whar, oh wharfs the pood old Abfnfmm ?
Whar,- oh whar is the good old Abraham ?
Whar, oh whar Is the good old Abraham
Safe In the promised land V
The old eagle goes off and "flutter
eth over her young," and that brings
us to the second pint oi our uiscourae.
"She fluttereth," she flops her wings,
like unto as you have seen a hawk
just gitting ready to prounce down
upon a poor field-mouse though it
aint like that neither, for the hawk
flutters in wrath, but the eagle ilut
ters over her young uns in love.
Brethren and sisters, she flutters In
love just like when you see your dear
little ones a-treading of the down
ward path, and your heart flutters
and flutters because you're afraid
and she goes above the nest and hol
lers squawk which, when you hol
ler you means to tell 'em to "take
keer," "take keer"--only the bird's
talk is not like unto our talk and
they hear that voice, and creep onto
the sides of the nest, and see thair

ann wnar tnars no weepin'. no
mournin', no gnashing of thair teeth
knowing they hain't got nothing
here, nor won't have nothing thar
unless they stir themselves and fly
upward. Why don't they fly up
ward ? Thar they tremble and shiv
er and cry out, and want to fly but
dussent waiting fur a convenient
seasou which never comes, and thar
above all is the old eagle a-spreading
above of her wings and looking down
to see if they won't do something
like men and womin, instead of jist
staying thar like marble statutes to bo
wafted about by every breeze and
thar she is a-spreading abroad her
wings, until at last she give out one
great squawk of wrath, and flops
uowu on tne wnole brood, and knocks
tho last pin from under 'em. And
whar are they ? Yes, and whar are
you, my brethren and sisters ? Whar
are you ? Some a-tluttering liko
wounded doves, down, down to tho
lake whar they cry for a drop of wiv
ter to cool the parched tongue, hwar
Lazarus was In poor Dives' bosom or
a-mounting up on wings of eagles
whar they shall run aud not get wea"
ry, whar they shall walk and not
faint. Nevertheless, notwithstand
ing fur which.
And that brings us t6 another pint
of our discourse, which is Ho taketh
'em. And thar's different Ways of
taking things. Thar'- peoplo with
mighty takin' ways, and thar's offi
cers that takes you to jail and thar'a
boys that takes apples and peaches,
which things they oughtent and
thar's people that takes you in'
which isn't meant for the good unsf
which take strangers in and takes
keer on 'em like unto the Gommori
ans when Lot's wife Was took into the
house like a pillar of salt and divided
into quarters and sent Into the land
of Israel, -for which the anger burnt
agin 'em for the hurt of the daugh
ter of Israel was sore.
But He taketh them I don't mean
the eagles and leads them to near
pastures aud beside still waters, whar"
there's no more sighing and suffer-'

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.
I Washington Pie. One cud of
white sugar, one cup of sweet milk,
one teaspoonful of cream of tartar
worked into a pint of flour, one tea
spoonful of soda dissolved in the milk,
one egg, one tablespoonful of melted
butter, and a little nutmeg.
Small Puffs. One pint of flour, a
piece of butter the size of an egg, two
teaspoon fuls of cream of tartar, ono
teaspoonful of soda, and mix with
cold water to the consistency of a stiff
batter. This is sufficient for four cups.
Steam twenty minutes. To be saten
with sweetened cream.
Railroad Puddings One cup of
molasses, one cup of cream, one cup
of sour milk, ono teaspoonful of soda,
one teaspooful of salt, nutmeg or
spice, and three cups of flour. Steam
two hours. To be served with sour
sauce. This makes very good ginger
cake by using ginger for spico nutl
baking.
To Keep Flies from Picture
Frames. Boil four onions In a pint
of water, then tako a clean brush,
wash your frames over with this liq
uid, and tho flies will not light oh
them. This onion water will not in
jure tho frames, and the odor soon dis
appears. It Is better than unsightly
gauze coverings to your pictures.
Dr. Dio Lewis gives the following"
euro for dyspepsia: "Have a right
good talk, with a funny anecdote or
two, and half a doen hearty laughs
with each meal. This eating alone at;
a restaurant, and shoveling in the
provender in solemn ilence, will give
dyspepsia to an ostrich, and create a
feeling of despondency In tho stonv
ach of a quartz mill."
Ammonia for Verrenas". SuU
phato of ammonia 13 an excellent
manurial liquid to apply to verbenas'
and other flowi rs, giving to the fo
llage a dark green, luxuriant and
healthy appearance. It is economic
cal, clean, and easy applied. Prepare
it in the evening before using, by dis
solving one ounce of ammonia iu two
gallons of water. It may be applied
with safety about once a week.-
