An altercation recently occurred be-!
i
twecr. a New York Congressmen.
John Morrissey, and a New York Sen
ator, John Fox. Morrissey struck Fox
several heavy blows bruising his face
badl3. It was a political quarrel, they
accusing each other of being untrue
to the Democracy. How absurd !

Our old stamping ground, Warsaw,
Ind.. nover a very congenial spot for
Democrats, recently adopted the prin
ciples of teetotalism, which no doubt
"will cause a general stampede of the
Bourbons from that city. A contrac
tion of the currency, with Democracy,
is nothing in comparison with a con
traction of their whisky.

The Made find Journal of Lincoln

former throws the first shot at its
giant competitor, and challenges a
comparison of strength ere it is scarce- i

impossible for two excellent republi

Four convicts, named Wm. Kenne
dy, Alfred Applegate, Wm. Stanley
and Newton Post, confined in the In
diana penitentiary at Jeffersouville,
recently made a desperate attempt to
escape. They attacked their guards
and keepers with knives and pistols,
and a fierce fight ensued, iu which
George Charaberlin, a guard, was
killed, and a negro convict who as
sisted in arresting the escape, was
wounded. Post, one of the convicts,
was killed, and the other three were
secured and locked up. How they got
their arms is not known.
A dispatch says "a meeting of the
members of the Advisory Board of the
State Farmers' Association of Illinois,
was held at Bloomington, on theoth
inst. Fifty-two counties of the one
hundred and two in the State were
represented. The object of the meet
ing was to decide upon the advisabili
ty of organising an independent po
litical party, the matter having been
referred by the last meeting of the
State association to this committee
After a discussion, lasting nearly all
day, it was decided by nearly a unan
imous vote, that a new third party
should be organized ; that it shall in
clude the members of all industrial
organizations. A call was issued for
the State convention to meet at Bloom
ington, June 10.
The starvation, death and buffering
caused by the overflow of the low
lands along the lower Mississippi is
horrible to read about. Hundreds of
thousands of dollars in various shapes
of relief have been contributed by the
people of the North, besides immense
quantities of rations from the army
stores and congressional appropria
tion of $9.1,000 have been donated, yet
it seems that the supplier are inade
quate to the demand of the destitute.
Another and more exteusive appro
priation bill is now pending in C
on-
gress; as the needs of the people down
there were underrated when the
other bill was parsed. It is hoped
that all necessary aid will bo prompt
ly given.

Why is it that the Right Honorable
"Doctor" J. N. Converse is so slow to
move, nfter making so many fair
promises in regard to the building of
two different roads which he has now
on hand? Has Nebraska City any
thing to do will: it? Has the banking
interests of D. J. McCann & Co. any
iuflunce upon-the matter, or cannot
the Honorable gentleman from In
diana obtain engineers of the class that
the wants not needs to construct the
lihes wromised? We call i:pon Mr. !
Fitzgerald to rise and explain if he
cares to take a contract of his own
and the contract he does take, we
wot, are generally his own if he cares
to take puch a contract under "Con
verse, aicCati a & Co., contractors,"
without employing an engineer of
their own may be well, we'll wait.

ARKANSAS.
The Arkansas trouble is about set
tled it appears, the two Governor's
having agreed to leave the matter to
the Legislature to decide and to abide
j peaceably its decision. The agree
ment was brought about by attorneys
representing each claimant, In Wash
ington City, with the assistance of
the Attorney General. After the ba
sis of settlement had been agreed up
on, the President communicated
with both Baxter and Brooks, inform
ing them that there must be a full
meeting of the Legislature, and that
action in the matter had belter be de
ferred until all the members friendly
to eithi-r party should have an oppor
tunity to be present, so that the de
termination of the quarrel might be
market! with fairness. And the Pres
ident promises that all necessary pro
tection shall be given the Legislature
during its deliberations, by the Fed-
jeral soldiers, and recommends that
the militia gathered for either party
be disbanded, or moved away so that
the Legislature would-not be in dan
ger of being influenced or intimida
ted by the forces of either of the con
tending claimants. It is evident that
since this agreement at settlement
has been made that President Grant
will hold the parties to it. will see,
that the Legislature pives the cae a
thorough investigation, and will rec
ognize and sustain the man (o whom
the Govervorship is awarded.
A3IO.VG THE GRANGERS AGAIN.
Mr. S. W Kennedy called at our
sanctum on Monday last. He said he
was not mad, and we were glad of it,
for mad people are Tiot pleasant in
terviewers. Mr. K. is an old friend
of ours, and we wre therefore gratifi
ed at hU call and to see him in the en
joyment of good health and humor.
He wanted to renew his subscription to
the Advertiser and did renew
and see about that little article we
had last week regarding the way he
attempts to administer his depart
ment of the grange business. He
said we did him injustice. We asked
him iu what respect the injustice con
sisted. He said we did not quqte his
resolution the one he offered in the
grange meeting at St. Joe correctly.
Wo cited him to the fact that we had
made no pretensions to giving the ex
act words, but presumed thesubstance
was correct. He said it was not. We
the paper. We then requested him
to give us his resolution just aa he
presented it at the meeting in St.
Joseph. He did so, as nearly as he
could recollect, in the words follow
ing, to-wit r
Resolved, 'J hat after a subordinate
grange and county council has passed
a resolution not to deal with any firm
or firms it shall be deemed a violation
of the obligations of the Patrons of
Husbandry to deal with said firm or
firms thereafter.
This is the whole of the true res
olution, verbatim, as Mr. Kennedy
gave it to us. That our readers may
distinguish the more readily between
the wheal and the chaff, we here re
print the resolution as we had it last
week :
Resolved, That hereafter any grang
er who shall be known to trade with
any merchant or merchants, other
than such as has been designated by
a local or State Grange as suitable for
grangers to trade with, shall, upon
evidence furnUhed the lodge of which
he is a member, be deemed guilty of a
violation of the regulations of the or
der and be expelled.
We leave the reader to compare the
readings of the two purported resolu
tions and find the difference which
may be very distinguishable to per
sons good at splitting hairs or that
know the difference between twee
dledee and tweedledum.
The animus of the matter the way
K. baa it and the way we had it
amounts to the same thing so nearly
that we cannot chauge our estimate
of it, and our criticisms of .last week
are in full force and virtue. The ad
option and enforcement of Kennedy's
resolution would impose hardships on
the members of his order as we shall
here briefly demonstrate :
Granger is using his machine, he
breaks some part of it. he must have
it fixed immediately or suffer heavy
pecuniary loss ; be could get an "ex
tra" at T's implement store in Brown
ville, but T. has been condemned by
the county council and he dare not
deal with him for by so doing he
would violate hfa solemn obligations
as a Patron of Husbandry. Well,
what shall granger do in the emer
gency ? Why, go to St. Joe after your
"extra," says Mr. Kennedy what
ever be the consequences, you must
not "deal" with T. Would not such
action by a county council be very
arbitrary and oppressive? A few
hours of time and a few cents in mon
ey would make the machiue all right
but K. would operate a law com
pelling the poor man to spend two or
three days and several dollars travel
ing expenses besides other losse3
which would necessarily be incident
to the stopping of work, rather than
trade with T., whom ho happened
j not to like, and would-be gratified if
crusiied out of business. And now
Mr. K. we hope you will not talk any
more about us misrepresenting you,
our arguments are deductions of plain
reasoning.
Capt. L. J. Lull, the Chicago detec

After looking over the Lime Kiln
here I will give you a brief idea of
their construction and of what they
accomplish. TheLivingston, thePage
and the Randall patents are used in
one or the other of the Kilns. I will
describe the one which uses the Ran
dall patent. The kiln is located on
the bottom near a high ledge of lime
stone. The kiln proper 13 built over
an arched culvert and is so construct
ed that the lime, as fast as it is thor
oughly burned, falls down through
the bottom of the kiln into an iron
car made for the purpose. The car
which receives the lime as it comes
from the kiln is in the arched culvert
When the car is full it is then run off
and dumned. After the lime has
cooled sullicienfty it is shoveled into
a railroad car. There are three kilns
side by side. Two horses and carts
ami ten men are at work all the time,
as fast as the carts are loaded they are
drawn up to the top of the kilns on a
bridge and the stone is dumped into
the top of the kilns. $
These kilns turn nut three hundred
and fifty bushels of lime per day.
There are teu other such kilns within
a short distance of this one. the entire
daily products of which are two thou
sand bushels of burned lime. The
Pfuel used is Oskaloosa soft 'stone coal.
The kllr.s are lined with fire brick.
The kilns hold one hundred bushels
of stone each. Twenty bushels of
burned lime is drawn off every two
hours from each separate furnace.
The balance of the stone in the kiln
settles down to the place of white heat
This process subjects the slone to four
separate degrees of heat, to-wit: warm,
hot, red and white heat, so that in
eight hours from the time the stone is
dumped into the kiln it is drawn off
as lime.
The expense of putting the stone
fiom the quarry through the kiln into
the railroad cars is fifteen cents per
bushel. The sellfng price is twenty
five cents per bushel. A railroad car
holds three hundred bushel of lime.
The freight per car to Council Bluffs
is $65. The gas works of St. Paul,
Dubuque, Davenport and other cities
use this lime in preference to the Alton
lime as it is better aud stronger. For
white-washing or plastering it has no
superior in any market. I have been
thus explicit so that builders in Ne
braska may know whether it may be
laid down there cheaper than the lime
they are now usiug.

NIURZERS.
There ara a great many kinds of
them, but the kind I want to tell you
about are often seen around retail
stores. He cannot look at anything
except with his fingers; if he orders
any goods put up, while the shop
keeper is busy weighing them, nibbler
is busy too. He will open every box
and barrel within his reach his hand
in all must nibble your cheese and
crackers and all kinds of green and
dried fruits. He will get behind your
counter to peek and look into every
thing. If he happens to want butter
he is sure to taste of every piece or
parcel you have, putting the knife
into his tobacco stained mouth each
time without thinking. Now, is there
no remedy for these nibblers. It
would be a pity to affront them. You
may look your disapproval as much as
j'ou please, they do not seem to un
derstand it; don't understand that
each and every article costs the shop
keeper something if it is ever so small.
You will see these nibblers around
apple wagons n ibbling. They never
take the smallest, but the largest and
ripest ones, just to taste, you know.
Now, if the nibbler trades with you
lie is sure to lgcl away" with all your
profits on the goods he buj's.
In a general way shopkeepers are
supposed to be clever, and do not want
to be called stingy, and "go for" these
nibblers, but we submit if they are
not sometimes driven to where "pa
tience ceases to be a virtue." Hand
these nibblers around.

Simon Gerty, the "White Savnge."
In tlrestlrrlngtimesol the Old Pioneers, no name
on tue whole border was so widely known or so
universally dreaded as that of Simon Oirty, "The
White Savagp." as called by H-ckewelder. From
177S, when Giriy, Elliott, IcKee. and other well
known toriqs lied to the "Indians from Fort Pitt,
(now PluSbuigli), down to 1791, when the power of
theOhlo tribes was forever crushed by "Mad An
thony Wayne," scarce a maraud, massacre, or
j-calinnf; raid occurred but what the GIrtys for
there were three brothers of them, all operating
with the western Indians were at the bottom of
them. The hated name was a terror in every bor
derer's cabin, and its mere mention would cause
women's cheeks to blanch, and children's hair to
staudwlth fear.
