It is not often that I take this mode

spend a daj' every week to gratify, his

the AxStjAl Address axd its
SDBJECTi
At the city of Omaha September
twenty-ninth (29th) 1874, the Nebras
ka State Pair will open. "With prop
er interest on the part of our farmers
and fruit growers, the season having
been propitious, that exhibition xvill
be a complete demonstration of the
wonderful fertility of Nebraska soil,
and its perfect adaptability to the
productions of cereals, root crops and
fruit incident to this latitude. Every
citizen can do something to forward
the affair towards success. Every cit
zen has an intesrest in helping to the
be3tof his ability, and each farmer'
in the State Will certainly have some
thing worthy of exhibition. In Eng
land premium crops are raised system
matically, the plowoing is premium
plowing, and so the planting und at
tendance of the crop is of a premium
character, that is, first rate, beat.
But here'in the we3t, where soil is
rich and easily tilled, we too often
leave extraordinary qualities and
quantities in productions to fortutious
circum stances. Can we not turn over
a new leaf in this regard, and makeju
dicious efforts to demonstrate the
full capacity of this soil?
If without especial effort sevent'
and eighty bushels of corn fre
quently raise upon an acre of ground,
why not, by extra tillage, produce an
hundred bushels, and even an hun
dred and forty of the same grain upon
the same breadth of land? And
whereas, with ordinary cultivation,
forty bushels of wheat have been
given to the acre in Nebraska, quite
frequently, why not endeavor bv I
superlatively careful sowing and!
harvesting to nrnrhiep sfivpnt-fivJ
W- - .. v - . v . . w
bushels?
The premiums offered by the State
Board Of Agriculture are liberal and iea a lerr:uie erimc. i be is a nar

and fine crops.

Among the attractions for the iu-
telligent cultivators of the soil, at the
next State Fair, will be the address
on that occasion. It will be delivered
by Authur Latiian Perry, the able
and well-known professor of Politi
cal Economy at Williams College, j
Alass.
Prof. Perry is the author of a
standard work on Poiiteal Euonomj,
and is'a gentleman who thinks clear- j
ly, writes perspicuously, and speaks
eloquently.
His theme of the address, which
wi.I be given at the Nebraska State
Fair, is:
"THE FOES OF TIE FAMEH5."
It will be an effort worthy of the
man, and the time, and the place.
The newspapers of Nebraska will
confer a great favor upon the reading

making general notice of the fact
that Prof- Perry wiJI positively be

OLD BUT OOD.
Whpn 0"lphv nnH ltrno troro nf
the head of the Republican guberna-
torial ticket, some years ago, in Illi
nois, a quartette of speakers launched
themselves into the interior of the
State, on a stumping tour. The par
ti' consisted of Dick Ogiesby, Gen.
B. M. Prentiss, J. D. Ward ana Mr.
Bross. Of course the Lombardi sing
ers were along.
Dixon, Morrison, and other thriv
ing towns were visited, and addressee
were made, afternoons and evPiiimrs !
to big gatherings. Oglesby. Ward
and Prentiss varied their speeches to
suit the places and tbecrowdsjuis well
as to relieve the montony or the trip.
But Bross had one staple oration,
which he delivered with the same
tones, facial contortions, and genu
flections on every platform. As he
was candidate for the Xiieutenanc
Governorship, he insisted on having
at least the second placa on all the
programmes, aud the others were
doomed to sit miserably by until he
attained his hackneyed peroration.
This soon grew so monotonous that
Gen. Prentiss mildly mutinied, and
prepared a vile scheme for the dis
comfiture of the stubborn Bross. He
prevailed upon Oglesby to vary the
order of exercises at the next town,
so that Ward and himself should op
en the meeting in the evening.
The attendance at Sterling, tlie
spot selected for the springing of the
conspiracy, was immense, and Ward's
opening address was rapturously re
ceived. Then Prentiss arose, aud to the ter
ror of the startled Bross, made the
latter's identical bow to the aadieuee,
and with accurately simulated voice.

The juice wat absolutely sucked
dry from Bross's orange. He arosej
blurted something about the lateness
of the hour, and the fact that the
ground had been so well covered by
previous speakers, and then flopped
Into his chair again.
While Oglesby and the Xtrimbards
were winding up the show, Bross
slipped out and hastening to the de-
pot, teiegrapneu to tlie coming train
and secured the whole of Hie only re
maining section in the sleeping car.
His revenge was coarse, but sweep
ing, for, while he was sprawled com
fortably in his berth, his whilcm per
secutors were obliged to sit up all
night. iVdshinglan Letter.
HY3I FOR A IilTTIiE CHILD.
God make my lifo a little light,
"Withiti the" world to glow;
A little flame that burnetii bright,
"Wherever I may go.
God make my life a little flower,
That giveth joy tolni.
Content to bloom In natlvtf boiTCT;
Although its place be small.
God make my life a little song,
That comforteth the sad ;
That helpeth others to be strong.
And makes the singer glad.
God make my Ufe n little stair
Whereon the weak may rest,
That so what health and strength I have
ifay serve my neighbors best.
God make my life a little hymn
Of tenderness and praise;
Of faith that never waxeth dim,
In all his wouderous ways.

a gauntlet a criminal has to run ;
what perils he is Constantly exposed
? to t what miseries be has to endure
while at large, only to fall into the
hands of the detectives at last. It
emphasizes the truth that the devil
is a poor Hivma?ter at best, and his
service always ends in remorse and
misery. But no more of this moral
izing. An extraordinary robbery was com
mitted, it will be recollected, at Petro

entered BennahyfTs house early in
( the evening, while the family Were at
supper, and, after "bucking" and
"gagging" the inmates, from the
oldest to tiie youngest, robbed one of
two safes, which stood together in a
bed-room, of a sum 11 Ule short oi &GQ, -
000. The money was in the shape of
j greenbacks, mostly in bills of large
denomination. Tiie safe contained,
along with this currency, something
near $00,000 in gold, which, being too
bulky for convenient handling, was
left scattered about the floor. In
the other safe was nearly a million
! of dollars.
This
secured
was
however, by a combination-lock,
which was known only to the
old gentleman's son, who hap
pened to be absent at the time, but
who returned to the house shortly af
ter the flight of the robbers.

carried the greenbacks away in a pil

and removing their disguises, they all
dropped into a ball-room singly, and
spent the remainder of the night in

Iti New Orleans. From Orleans he
sailed for Cuba, aud then sailed to
Bio Janeiro
He stayed there a short
time, and then sailed around to Aus
trailia. In course of time he fo'und
his way across to Old Mexico. Then
j he waudered up through the North
em States of the old empire into Low
er and finally Upper California. But
he was too rSatissS to tarry long in a
place, and so he crossed Arizona into
Texas, and settled down at San An
tonio. In Texas he is known only by the
name of T. L. McGee. He became,
ih' r. short time, one of the best known j
of the successful cattle owners of Tex
as. His brand is now on forty thou

over, one of the best-known charac
ters on the Texan frontier, having
been exposed to all manner of dang

the cattle-trails between Texas and

of stock-men, mostly of the roughest
and toughest stripe.
McGee had some cattle which he
wanted to put upon the Denver mar

days ago. The same evening McGee
mounted his horse and rode into town

hunted up some stockmen, talked
bovine for awhile, and then stepped
into Gus. Putter's restaurant, on
Blake street, and ordered a dozen

from the lower country, and McGae,

and who accordingly passed around
to where she might see the speaker's
face. Sure enough, she knew the
face, knew It like a book, though it
had not appeared to her before since
she was a girl, and, starting forward,
she said, "How are you Mr. Saeger?''
McGee wouldn't have' been half a's
much startled at the crack of a gun.
He stood speechless for a moment,
while his Cdior ehanged to p deadly
wui(e.
The other Potters gathered around
and looked in speechless amazement.
It was a thrilling episode to all parties
present. McGee hadn't heard the
Saeger before in six years. Those six
(years had been like sis centuries to
him. Gus. Potter recognized in the
fictitious McGee the man who had
adopted him as a child when he was
but twelve years old. Gus. had left
'home and come est tagrowup with
the mountains, Jong after
Saeger's
AUjht, aud he knew all the circum-
jstances of the crime. Potter is a
epew i x-.iemen, wno was caeger
right-hand bower in the robbery, and
who is now serving out his fifteen
years' term in tlie Pennsylvania Pen
itentiary. McGee seemed like an ap
parition to the Potters, who, with
' their friends in the East, had conclud
ed that he must be dead, as no word
had ever been received from him,
nor had the detectives, so far as was .
knr.wn. ever gaiupd the slightest clue !
to his whereabouts.
McGee was no longer McGee. Sae
ger was himself again. It was use
lees to deny his identity. He stayed
with the Potters away into the night
then mounted his horse and rede into
camp. Then again, he was McGee.
He made no attempt to escape, but j
relied on being able to brlb6 the Pot-
ters into silence und 90 reappeared at j
