THE ADVERTISER.
THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1875.
On the suggestion of Prof. Hayden,
the Interior !Departmen I has decided
to send two entomologists to the West
ern country to investigate the cause
of the grasshopper plague.
Beecher Ib reported to have said
during one of his recent sermons,
tiiat "even the Bible oould be swept
outof existence, and it would make
no difference to religion. The restrict
ions which the Bible places upon so
cial indulgences does not accord with
the great preacher's idea of pure nat
ural religion. Beecher is one man
who teaches
believes.

The following we clip from the
Echo, published nt Greencastle,
Franklin county, Penna., near the
Maryland State line. This Item
shows they have grasshoppers in
that country too.
'Hoppers at HosrE. The grass
hoppers are devastating a great many
wheat aud elover fields in the western
part of Antrim and portions of Peters
and Montgomery townships. They
appear in great numbers and strip the
clover and wheat stalks, leaving noth
ing but stems and damaged beads.
They are smaller than the western
penta, but are largo enough to totally
destroy thegxowlng crops.

""A SAD CASE.
:?fEWS ITEMS.
The St. Joe Herald says that on the
17th inst. "a singular case was present
ed at the Francis street depot. An
old man named Peac fulness, his
wife and five children, ranging in age
from tvro to fourteen years, were there
in a state of utter destitution. They
-SuJ walked from Osage, Kansas, seventy-five
miles below Fort Scott, and
pulled a little hand-cart all the way,
thus conveying the younger children.
i he man was quite feeble; the wo
man and ohidren stout and hearty.
They are bound for some point in Io
wa. On. learning the facts funds
enough were raised around town to
send the party to their place of des
tination on the cars."
A BROKEN HEART.
Lost week we gave a brief account
of a fight between Sheriff Ramsey of
Ellis county, Kansas, and a couple of
horse thieves, In whloh the sheriff
and one of the thieves were killed.
The wife of Ramsey could not survive
under the Crushing news of her hus
band's death. The following tele
gram indicates that she was very pe
culiarly effected :
Mra. Ramsey, wife of Sheriff Ram
sey who was recently killed in an at
tempt to arrest outlaws in Ellis coun
ty, has since died at the hospital of
the Sisters of Charity in Leaven
worth. About the time of her hus
band's death she had a strange pre
sentiment thatsomething terrible had
Tiappened to him, and could not be
persuaded otherwise. She and her
friends Btarted to meet him and get
his remains. The shock was so sud
den and harrowing to her feelings,
that her reason was dethroned, and
with a short lucid Interval remained
so until the close of life. She was
tenderly cared for, but no kindness
could save her, and she died of a bro
ken heart.
The time Is now approaching when
all the county offices are to be refilled
by an election, as well as some im
portant State offices. The new con
stitution will be submitted at the
same election for adoption by the peo
ple. Altogether the election, will be
as Important as any that has been
held for many years in our county.
From the present out-look there will
be one or two regular tickets and any
number of independent, "paddle your
own canoe" candidates. The Repub
lican. party will of course stand by its
colors, as It ever has. and will be bet
ter supported than it has been at any
recent election. The people of this
county are beginning to see thatevery
road out of the Republican party leads
directly into the Democratic.
It is a mistake to think politics
should be Ignored In county or any
other elections. Fill your city, pre
cinot, county and state offices with
Democrats, and the federal offices will
be filled by them also. The success
of the Republican party in the past in
settling the momentous issue of the
war was accomplished by flgbting
all along the line. The good general
yields not an inch of ground Without
contesting it hud the wise statesman
who controls, and every man who is
true to his pnrty will not yield the
most insignificant office without an
effort to retain it. And why is
not right ?' Jc was the gifted though
unfortunateSenator Yates who said
"I believe that whatever Is
right is radically right, whatever Is
wrong is radically wrong." If the
Republlcau party holds the truest and
best principles principles which
have proved to be the salvation of our
country, then those principles canjnot
permeate the masses too thoroughly.
If thos principlesshouldbe represent
ed in the federal officers, they should
also be represented in every other
minor office.
There is no escape from thisconclu
slon as a matter of principle. Office
is power. The world recognizes it.
When you surrender one office you
weaken your party and strengthen
the opposition, just as the General
who surrenders a strong hold to the
enemy weakens himself and strength
ens them.
The Republican party cannot afford
to waste any power now Ic is time.
to conserve power, for the campaign
of seventy-six. Begin now. The is
sue will be grandly important. None
more so since the war. Division
means defeat. It causied the Bull
Run of 1874, it will prove a Waterloo
in 1876 to the party and the liberties
and unity of our country.
Consolidate at once, then. Let us
not stand upon the order of our com
ing. Let our recruiting offices be al
ways open, and open to everybody.
TORNADO.
MEXICAN BANDITS.
The bandits of Mexico continue
their marauding upon the Texas peo
ple along the Rio Grande, but are not
bo bold when there is danger of meet
ing the U. S. soldiers. Cortina, the
leader of the robbers, is reported to be
very angry at the Americans. Col.
MoNeely's men defeated his outlaws,
and killed thirteen of them ; and Cor
tina declares he will have the lives of
tnree Americans for every Mexican
killed. Another fight is reported in
which one of Cortina's captains was
killed, but of which full particulars
are uot known as yet. The guerilla
war Is fairly opened now, as there has
been two or three encounters between
the Americans and Mexicans, and be-
ore the disturbances are ended we
may expect to see hot times down
here. To protect the people of Tex
as along the border, soldiers will have
to be stationed all along the line, and
guerilla warfare will be the order of
the day. A late telegram from Brown
ville, Texas, reports a dastardly out
rage committed by the robbers on a
Texas school teacher named McMa
hon. After they had murdered him,
and stripped off his cloths, they cut
off his head, leg? and arras, and left
his mutilated body to be food for vul
tures. One of the raiders lulled by
MoNeely's men had on McMahon's
clothes.
Terrible Destruction of Property in
Syracuse Nebraska.
Ferris, Hardin and Dodge, the
three men who rocently escaped from
the Nebraska City jail, have beeu re
captured. Since their arrest it has
been ascertained beyond a doubt,
what we have long bejieved, that
prisoners were let out of that jail by
parties connected with their keeping.
The Chronicle contains the following
regarding this last escape:
Hon. H. E. Taylor, sheriff of John
son county, brought in Ed. Fan's, who
is incarcerated for horse stealing, and
who divulged the secret of their es
cape, and how they managed to get
out. Mr. Taylor got out of Faris all
the particulars, and also showed
where they were camped tha first
night and next day. Their camping
ground was adjolng the city, near the
cemetery. The keys were buried In
the mud, and he further stated that
he would tell the parties who let them
put. The old guard, Dan Baldwin,
auspicioned that somethintr was
wropg, became alarqied and wrote the
prisoner, Faris, a letter, stating that
he should keep everything secret, and
in case he was forced to tell, to post
pone the same for five days, so as to
give him time to got out of the State.
The letter was handed over to the
proper officer of tho coqqty, and
Baldwin was nrrealed immediately
and looked up in the cooler. Upon
Investigation, they found in his pock
ets anqther letter written to the said
prisoner, cmplngqutln full, and etat
ing that if he tofd it on him it would
ruin him. Baldwin has been employ
ed a? cuard for a long time, and had
the fullest confidence of the sheriff
and others connected with the same
tip to date. We are informed that the
heaviest penalty that can be imposed

entirely blown to fragments Mr. J.
was up stairs holding a window at the
time his house went, and j'efc he es
caped entirely uninjured. The

blown into the Nemaha, this building
was vacated yesterday by J. Conway.
These comprise I beHeve, all irapor

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
San Feaxcisco, Jane IS, 1S75.
Chicago gambles in wheatand corn,
New York in gold and railroads, San
Francisco in mining stock. Every
man, woman and child in this city,
almost, buys and sells stocks, and
they get up as heavy an excitement
over it as the gold and railroad stock
gamblers do In. New York.
The lady of tne house takes her
ohanoes in Ophir and consolidated
Virginia, which are high priced
stocks, and the cook in her kitchen
takes a shy at Poarmon Leapard, or
any of the little stocks which cost on
ly from 50 oents to $1.50 per share. If
the stocks go up, madam indulges in
diamonds and silks, and the kitchen
girls Immediately sports a new calico
dress on their winnings; if they go
down well, I don't kuow what they
do in that case. The way
STOCKS ARE MANIPULATED
may not be altogether uninteresting
to your readers. It runs about this
way. A mine is discovered, or rather
a location is taken which gives prom
ise of a mine. It is named we will
say Golconda, and a company I3 at
once formed to develop itv Theown--ership
is divided into one hundred
thousand shares, and the par value of
each share is made $10.00. Of these
shores the original proprietors keep In
their own names 60,000, and place 40,
000 on the market, the proceeds of
which are to be used in "developing"
tne property, which means opening
the mine and finding if there is ore
therein, and if so, --putting in all the
maohlnery necessary to the working
of it. It will he observed Hint fhn
original projectors have not put a dol
lar of their own money in it. All
comes from the purchasers of the 40,
000 shares.
Now, we will suppose that a rich
bed of ore I3 really found. Immedi
ately machinery is put in, the ore is
taken out, immense profits are made,
and the stock mouuts up from $10, its
original value, to $50, $75, $100, and In
some cases $400 and $500, and the for
tunate holders of the 40,000 shares
dream golden dreams.- But mind,
iui nan uuzen originals nolu a ma
jority of the stock, and as they act to
gether they control it. Of them are
all the officers of the company. They
form tho board of dlreotors, and Smith
is president, Jones of treasurer, and
Thompson secretary. When stock is
up to the highest point it can bo got,
say $300, then comes a change. The
shipments of ore deorease, and finally
stop altogether. Rumors get abroad
that the vein has given out, and that
to prosecute the work an assessment
will be soon made, and the stock
drops, drops, drops, till a panic strikes
it and it gogs down by terrific leaps
till it strikes thcfonginnl $10, or per
haps lower than that. Of course the
original six buy it ail in. When it
cel.q low enough om is four4 sii.,
and up it goes. And this game they
play over and over again, the deluded
public being always the victim, be
oause the six controlling men- hold
their cards in their own hands. The
value of the stock depends of course
entirely on the production ; they can
make it produce or not, as they
choose.
OPHIR
Is just now the football, and It Is being
manipulated lu tho interests of tho
ring that has the Bank of California
for its centre. The par value of Ophir
is $50 it has been up within a year to
$475, and dowu to $12. Sharon &
Ralston who own it have made mil
lions out of the rise and fall of tho
stock, and to this day no ono but
themselves know .whether It haB any
value or not.
Even rloh mines that are not mado
mere stock speculating machines of
the original owners, make enormous
fortunes; for they let allthe contracts
for supplies to themselves, and the
way they bleed the stock-holders is
astonishing. But the stocks are only
for well-to-do people to gamble with.
Biddy in the kitchen and John on the
droy can be accommodated as well as
rich people on Van Weis Avenue.
And for people with very small means
there are stocks to be gambled in.
KANGAROO MINE,
for Instance, Is discovered and put
upon the market at the nominal price
of $1 per share. Reports are circula
ted of the richness of the mine, of its
wonderful prospects, and the certain
ty of its becoming a second Ophir;
and John on the dray and Biddy la
the kitchen, invest their hard-earned
dollars. Now the Kangaroo may be
a myth, there may be no mine, no
ore, no company, for that matter, but
Kangaroo shares, despite all that have
a value in the market, and they go up
and down just the same as consolida
ted Virginia or any other stook that
turns out $100,000 of oro per week.
Nobody knows anything about it;
those who buy have no idea where it
is located, or that it has any value or
even existence; but a share is a share.
. - M
ana it sens.
There will be on item in the news
papers some morning, that the devel
opments in the Kangaroo district are
of the most encouraging nature, and
forthwith Kangaroo stock goes up
frnm 41 (Mil i . .
"UU1 va iu vxu, aua certain men rage
about the street wanting to buy all
they can get of it at that price. See
ing that these mining experts wont to
buy, Biddy and John want to buy,
and they do buy, but tho experts do
not. Those who are'talkintr buv. are.
really, through their brokers, selling
at the price that the clamor has made.
It is a very pretty game, when they
pave used all the poor dupes will boy,
tneyelmpjyjetit go, and Kangaroo
fades put p'f pub)ip slgfot, and becomes
one of tho things tbaj; were. The
peoplo pocket their lessee, and tbs QRr
eratora begin, engjneeripg another
swindle of-thaaanio sort, whjol) th,ey
carry through the same way.
Of course iust eneucrh. nnbHn
cosrage people to keep continually
going In. "Now and then a man who
bnys at a dollar, has sense enough to
sell when It reaches ten, and the mon
ey he made In operating is enough to
set a thousand wild. And this thous
and are the the people the sharks are
after, and they get tbem every time ;
there Is no mistake about it, they gob
ble them.
But the game goes on ju3t the same,
everybody gambles in stocks, men
and women. It has always been so
from the time the mines were first
Btooked. In the East you hear ladies
discussing books, pictures, and music,
with occasional dashes at tho?heatie
and opera. :Here they dlscu3s stocks,
everybody has a stock-lf3t, and every
body, but tbo rings that control the
stock, and the brokers who gettheir
per cent, for handling it, loso the
money ihey put In.
FRUIT.
San Franciscoe is better supplied
with fruit than any city on the con
tinent. The southern ooast supplies
it with oraugos, lemons, and limes.
Strawberries ripen here ten months In
a year. New potatoes are always In
the market, as also are peas, asparagas
and in fact all the vegetables. Apples
come hero from Oregon. Grapes grow
here to a size and of a flavor unknown
elsewhere; in short, there is not a
fruit known in 'the temperate zone or
the tropjes, that y.oucannotjind in
the markets here. It is a beautiful
sight, the markets; there Is every
fruit and every flower that you can
think 'of or imagine exposed for sale
and at very reasonable prices. Straw
berries are always high In price, for
whenver they get down below 12cts.
a quart, they are canned for export.
California Itself produces every
thing, aud pardon me an Irishism
what it doe3 uot produce, Oregon, on
the one hand, Mexico on the other,
and the Islands in the Pacific, supply.
I think that you can see more kinds of
vegetable in the markets of San Fran
cisco than any city in the world. The
tropics meet the temperate zones at
this spot, and you can get all the.pro
ducts of both. This state of thiugs
make
MARKETING
quite different from what it Is East.
You can have fresh trout from the si
erra brooks, cod and bass from . the
Bea, the juicy steak of ranch-fed cattle,
fattened on alfalfa, and the wonderful
ly sweet mutton at the foothills, game
of every description, elk and bear
steckr delicious mussles, shrimps,
and oysters, offer variety of meats and
fish enough to supply the most capri-oious.
California has every delicacy known
to the eastern States and a thousand
that the eastern States have not. In
point of variety of production it is
simply wonderful. Of course all
these things are uot procurable with
out labor, but he who labors can have
them. The strawberries and oranges
wont grow withoutplanting and 'care,
and the fish wont come out of the sea,
asking you to put them on a gridiron.
But it is all hero, and labor will bring
it.
Altogether, I Hkfi California. Twen
ty yars from date, dnless an earth
quake swallows it, it will be the choice
place to' live on the continent.
PIETRO.
JResolved, That it la with great re
luctance we are compelled to report
the almost, if not entire, loss of the
large and well selected nurseries of
Hon. O. H. Irish, Gov, R. W. Furnas,
J. H. Masters, J. W. Pearman, an d
others, by the depredations of tne
grasshoppers. The loss of these nurs
eries Is a calamity to the whole btate,
as well as being an entire losfl to the
individual proprietors. The labor
of years has been fin two mothsj
sweept entirely away by the pests.
Your committee also find that great
damage has been done to the old fruit
bearing orchards of southern Nebras
ka, and would particularly mention
those of Judge O. P. Mason, Hon. J.
Sterling Morton, and Gov. R. W.
Furnas.
We do most heartily sympathize
with tho farmers who have lost their
crops of wheat, cora, oats, barley, po
ttos, etc, but tho crops are the labor
of a single season while the plant
ing and growing orchards, has taken
yearsof unremitting toil andattention.
