"I think I can manage it," said Ed, "but 111 have to just lie a little. But that wouldn't do much harm aa- j der the cireamstanees. for T V... aitA i n.itu -i likes him. and he don't dislike her ; bat, jost as yoti say, he's so shy. I'll juei goove to bis place to borrow some basTP of him. ond if I don't bag him before I eome back, don't kiss tae for a week, EHy." So saying. Ed. started, and while he k mowing the fields we will take a look at Bill Smiley. He was rather s good-looking fellow, though his hair and whiskers were somewhat sprinkled with gray, and he had got in a set of artificial teeth. 3ut every one said he was sueh a enod soul so i he was. ,He bad as good a 100-acre farm as any in Norwich, with a new house and everything comfortable, and several thousand dollars on in terest, and if he wanted a wife many a girl woukl have jumped at the ebance. But Bill was so bashful al ways was and when Susan Berry bottle, whom he was so sweet on, though he never said "boo" to her, got married to old Watson, he just drew ia his head like a mud turtle into his shell, and there was no get ting him out again, thoush it had been noticed that sinee Susan had be come a widow he had paid more at tention to his clothes and had been very regular in attendance at the cuuroh the widow attended. But here comes Ed. Wilbur. "Good morning, Mr. Smiley." "Good morning, Mr. Wilbur; what's the news your way ?" "Oh, nothing particular that I know of," said Ed., "only Barnum's show thst everybody is talking about and evervbodv and his girl is going , to. I was over to old Soekrider's last j night, and I see his son Gus has got a new baggy, and was scrubbing uphi harness, and he's got that white-faced ! eolt of his as slick as a seal.

EA. borrowed some bass and went around the earner nt k . , ,,.,,. and listened, knowing the bachelor ( had a habit of talking to himself when ! any thing worried him. "Confi-und that young brigadier!" said Bill, "what business has he there, I'd like to know ? Got a new DUITV. Iia US ' Vo :n h-iro T nnri a new harness; and hia horse can't - . !

I'll show Ed. , vlb tfa t j , ,fc h f fa ," , T JM i, . - et the start of me in the first place !" Ed. could scarcely help laughing octrieht, but he hastily hitched the bags on his shoulder, and with a low ehackle at his success started home to tell the news to 2s elly ; and about 5 o'clock that evening they saw Bill go fay with his horse and buggy on his wsy to the widow's. He joggled along quietly, thinking of old singing school days and what a pretty girl Susan was then, and wondering if he wwild have more courage now to talk up to her, until at a distance of a mile from her house he cumc to a bridge over a large creek and it so happen ed that)ust as he reached the middle of the bridge he gave a tremendous aneez, and out blew his teeth, clear over the dashboard, and striking on the planks they rolled over the side of the bridge, and dropped into foar feet of water. TVord3 cannot do justice to poor Bill o? paint the expression of his face as he sat there completely dum founded at his startling piece of ill luck. After awhile he stepped out of his buggy and getting down on his hands and knees, looked over into the water. ''Yes, there they were," at the bottom with a crowd of little fish es rubbing their noses against them, and Bill wished to goodness that his nose was as close for one second. His beautiful teeth that had cost him so much, and the show corking on and no time to get another set and the widow aud young Sockrider. Well, he must try aad get them somehow and no time to lose, for some one might come along and ask him what be was fooling around there for. He had no notion of spoiling his good clothes by wading in with them on snd besides, if he did that he could f not so to the widow's that ni;ht, so he took a look up and down the road to see that no one was in sight, and l then quickly undressed himself, lay- ing his clothes in the buggy to keep them clean. Then hp ran around the bank and waded 'nto th almost icy cold water, but I.i teeth did not chat ter in his he" -'he only wisnea tney i ..:,1 u ,i.Cr. a TniirfnTrM - rnrf,rvTTi - - - J i i i"lr trot to the ricfetspot he dropped nn f . der fSealer'arra came up hfiejpny teeth 'urbis ltand afiH rejlaced therri5 in hi month.

But he! off at a spank- ing pace with the unfortunate bache lor after him and the little dog yelp- lag after the bachelor. Bill was cer- tainly in capital running costume but' though he strained every nerve he ! couid not touch the buggy or reach j the lines that were dragging on the I ground.

Then ' his coat fell out. he siipped it on. and then making a desperate spurt he ! clutched the back of the seat and I scrambled in, pulling the buffalo robe I over his lees, stuffed the other things j beneath. Now the horse happened ' to be one he got from Squire Moore, j , and he got it from the widow, and he j i ' took it into his head to stop at her cate which Bill had no power to pre- I vent as he had uot possession of the ' reins, besides be was too busy button-Jrif- hU flAnt nn to his chin to think i . . t- , mv. -j . f floinp- much else. The widow ' heard the rattle of the wheels Bnd lc ked but, and seeing that it was Smiley, and he didn't offer to getout, she went to the gate to see w hat be L wanted, and there she stood chatting' with her white arm3 on the top of the ' ate, and her face right toward him, j while the cold chills ran down his , shirtless back clear down to his bare , feet beneath the buffalo robes, and the water from his hair, and the dust : r-.v. i; Vint had combined to make !'" "' some streams of mud that had came trickling down his fape. She asked him in. No, he was in a hurry he said. Still he did uot ofler to go. He j did not like to ask her to pick up the reins for him, because he .did not know what excuse to make for not doing It himself. Then he looked down the road behind him and saw a white-faced horse coming, and at once surmised that it was that of Gus Soekrlder. He resolved to do or die and hurriedly told his errand. The widow would be delighted to go, of course she would. Bat wouldn't he come in. No, he was in a hurry. he said ; had to go on to Mr. tureen s " a. place. "Oh," said the widow, "you're go ing to Green's are you? Why, I was just going there myself to getone of the girls to help me quilt more. Just wait a second while I get my bonnet and shawl, snd I'll ride with you." And away she skipped. "Thunder and lightning!" said j Bill, "what a scrape!" and he hastily ' clutched his pants from between his J feet, and was preparing to get into them, when a light wagon drawn by I the whito-faced horse, driven by a boy came along, and stopped beside mm.

'Tou are mistaken," said he, "they are not mine." "Why,J' said he, "ain'J you the man that had the race after the horse just now?" "No, sir, I am not ! you had better go on about your buHinese." Bill sighed at the loss of his boots and turning to the widow he said: "Just pick up the lines, will you please ; this brute of a horse Is forev er switching them out of my hands." "What a lovely evening," said she, "and so warm. I don't think we need the robe over us, do we ?" You see she had on a nice dress and a new pair of gaiters and she wanted to show them. "Oh, my, you will find it chilly riding," said Bill, earnestly, "and I wouldn't have you catch cold for the world." She seemed contented with the ten der care he took of her and contented herself with letting her little foot stick out with a necktie over the end of it. "What Is that, Mr. Smiley, a neck tie ?" "Yes," said he, "I bought it the other day and must have left it In the buggy. Never mind it." "But,' said she, "it is so careless," and, stooping over, shepicked it up and made a motion to stuff It in be tween them.

These two. one Mr. Warners, his wife aad four small children, had on ly some nine or ten pounds of flour, 1 not a particle or other nreaastutrs ea rnest in the house, and had no means to buy with. The other, J. N. Fergu son, who was sick, has a wife and two children. He had only ten pounds of flour, remnant of a sack sent him by the aid society, about two pounds of fresh pork, given him by a neighbor. With quivering lips and moistened eye, he said be did not know where he was to obtain a fur- ther suddIv. Both these parties have most excellent claims. One owns a norse sou tut: u.uoiji- .i j.ch.

In addition I visited the cab ins of a score or more of the people of this section and "became convinced of correctnes3 of these reports by a per sonal examination of the stores they had on hand. From Indianoia I rode to the mouth of the Medicine and camped on its banks near the residence of Mr. Doyings. He seemed to be well off himself and exhibited little inter ests or knowledge of the condition of his neighbors. During the afternoon ride I visited all the cabins I could conveniently reach, and found a great many of them on the last ten or fifteen pounds of flour receiv ed from the Aid Society. AtDoyings I met Mr. John French, who needed no aid for himself, but said he knew several in his vicinity that must have aid at once or they would suffer. He cited the ease of Mrs. McGowan. a widow on Deer oreek. ner hus band was killed last spring. She has five yonns children ; she is poor enough. On further investigations T found she was wholly destitute. Heft her a sack of flour and thirty pound -of pork. The distance rode was about 35 miles. November the 9fch I left the camp after sun-rise, traveled the country to Deer creek, to Burton's store. Mr. Barton is reputed to be a gentleman of unauestionable integrity. Hesaid: "I do not like to believe anybody will starve i the valley, yet I do not know how they are to avoid it, unless they receive greater assistance than any yet contemplated. Some no doubt will go oat of the country to avoid suffering. Some have not the means to get out and no piace to go if they leave. The State aid or the as tanee "that is being given is not being properly distributed. Some are get ting rations who re really large stock owners. They are receiving ths same amount as those "who are snfiferiFig and nearly destitute. The rations for Furnas county are at Arrapahoe. This seetion is one of the preeineta of Furnas eocntv." This statement of Mr. Burton was corroborated by Mr. Alien, who had charge of the distiiawioa under the direction of a committee reeenty ap pointed. This error is deing correct ed I think now. I have the names of some thirty families in the vicinity of Arrapahoe, living on the small streams running back into the table lands. 6. 10 or 15 miles, who are at the L present time suSerrnir for food, many ot whom have no means ot convey ance and are without proper clothing, especially shoes. In ease of severe winter and deep snows, their suffer ings would be extreme, and would, ho j doubt, result in starvation m many mstan es.

Many instances of actual present goffering were stated, one of which I will mention, as a sample of many : "A vounir man by tne nameo: w ar- reu, who lived on Muddy Creek, and j served throoeh tbe war in the Union I army, aid his wife had a baby only ten I I 1 J . . 4 I.

Informed me that he had only seven sacks of flour sent him by the Omaha Aid Society w4th instructions to sell it on credit at $2.-. 50 per 100 cwt. . I remained at Melrose until tfio morning of the 3d of November and then started on my return to Arrapa hoe, where I met a delegation of set tlers living in Gosper county. Mr. G. H. Beck, an old soldier, who serv ed in the 2d Illinois cavalry during; the war. said he had been appointed agent to receive and distribute the aid. sent to this county ; he stated that there were abont"250 people in the county, and full 200 of thi3 number will require aid, more or less, all the winter; some families will have to be supported entirely or starve ; they have not the means of getting out of the country: undoubtedly they are badly off. I passed throtizh the centre of thiH unorganized county and the poverty of its settlers was quite apparent to any one ; they have recieved some as sistance from the Aid Society ; nine tenth of it has been used up, and they do not know where their future supplies are to come from. This la the newest settled county visited. I camped near Arrapahoe on the night of the 3rd, and started across the divide at sunrise on the morning of the 4th, following up Muddy Creek to Pium Creek on the Platte. Dis tance, 38 miles. I left my horses a'nd ambulance on the south side of the Platte, with instructions to return to the pose I took the cars at midnight and reached the garrison at 2:30 a. m. on the morning of the 3th inet. It is proposed to render aid to the frontier counties, througn the army, I would recommend that an ofScer i be sent with the stores to be distribu ted, and that he make the issues di rect to the parties to be neiped ; tuts can be accomplished by sending a loaded train to the county seats and principal central points of the various precincts : reliable parties, who know the condition of their nelgSbors, jajfc asking aid for themelves, can fur nish certificates of need to those acte aliy destitute and requiring partial as sistance, who will, as a rule, be re- quired to present them to the Issuing ofllicein person. This plan met the cordial endorse ment of all with whom I eon versed, 1 except a few who were auxioes to be- appointed on committees. FSOXTIER COUNTY-.
