THE ADVERTISER.
THURSDAY, OOT. 21, 1876.
Qn, exhibition in Lincoln, an old
fashioned wooden moldboard plow,
made forty-four years ago.
Bay, Republican candidate for
T3overnor of Ohio, Is elected by 4,753
majority. Both branches of the Leg
islature are Republican.
The State Journal saya A. N. Haw
ley, one mile east of the University ,
raised thirly-flve buRhels of potatoes,
called "Ohio Beauties," from one peck
of seed, weighing ou the average two
pounds to the potato.
'To convicts man of defrauding
the Government, signifies that he
stands higher in favor than ever."
This is a lecent fiction of the Kan
sas Chief, as it gradually drifts into
the Democratic camp. J? lop over,
Sol., at once and be done with it ; the
agony you evince suspended on the
ragged edge Is pitiable and must be
disgusting to your readers.
The N. Y. Evening Post, once on
the liberal string of suokers is now off
and very liberally and truthfully ex
presses Its views of the remnants of
that party, as follows:
For the last two or three years the
Liberal Republican party of this State
has been held together solely by the
"cohesive power of public plunder,"
which It has hoped tosecure from the
charity or cupidity or fears of one or
the other of the regular parties. It
has kept alive solely to see what it
could "make.'' Now, however, It lias
obtained all it can get from Democrats
and Republicans, and raaj' as well
disband. The
party began with the inspiration of
high hope and unselfish enthusiasm.
Why it failed, how It fell into the
hands of political Philistine.", it is not
now necessary to recall. It is enough
that it did fail ; and it was no sooner
perverted to base partisan uses than
the good citizens whose support had
been Its sole strength fell away from
it. Itr mistake is that it did not dis
appear from public view, wholly and
forever, at sundown on the flrstTues
day of November, 1872.
That will apply pretty well to Ne
braska, too.
The Democratic organization in Mis
sissippi, called the White League,
still continues its cowardly and bloody
work of murdering Republicans and
outraging most fiendishly defenceless
women and children.
A Mrs. Haffa, in the Philadelphia
Press, tells of the sad experience of
herself and family in Hinds county,
Miss. She, with her husband nnd
children, removed to that county six
years ago from Philadelphia, and en
gaged in teaching school. They were
quiet and inoffensive people, but her
husband was guilty of the dangerous
offence against White Leaguers of be
ing3a Republican. For this, on one
occasion, and, perhaps, for teaching
poor negro children how to read, they
were taken from their beds one night
and whipped both, the lady and her
husband almost to death. But they
did not leave the country, and one
night a few weeks ago the While
Leaguers visited the home of the
Haffas again, determined this time to
get rid of them. Mr. Haffa was the
Rspublican candidate for the Legisla
ture with a fair prospect of being
elected, but those Democratic politi
cians determined that ho should not
be elected. At 2 o'clock in the morn
ing they about fifty of them broke
open the doorsof the Haffa residence,
and while one of those Democratic
sons of the chivalrio south (!) choked
the'mother to stop her cries of terror
and entreaties for the life of her hus
band, and while the children were
kneeling around their father and pray
ing for his life, the White Leaguers,
in the interests of Democracy, shot
the good husband.and father through
the heart.
These fellows have the same object
in view that Church Howe's organi
zation has In Nemaha county "to
break down the .Republican party."
"We neglected to say that the Missis
sippi organization did not only choke
the mother and murder the father,
but tbey valiantly beat the- children
most unmercifully. After Haffa was
dead one of his murderers said, laugh
ing, "he's got the office he was look
ing for." Another said, "that's the
way we do with all damned yankees
who comedown here to make laws for
UB.'

JESSY'S RETURN.
The Black Hills Geologist at Chey
enneFlattering Reports from
the Gold Fields.
Prof. W. P. Jenney, chief of the
Geological Expedition of the Black
Hills, and his corps of assistants, ar
rived at Cheyenne, W. T., on the 16th
enroute for the east, having spent five
months in the Hills, and made quite
a thorough examination of the whole
country and mapped it from Belle
Fourche to the South Fork of the
Cheyenne river. Ho reports a gold
field extending forty miles north from
Harney's Peak, aud twenty miles that
contain gold in quantities that will
pay from $3 to $5 per day to the man,
and that there are bars on many of
the streams that will pay more. Wa
ter supplies are ample for working,
and sufficient to carry water from the
top of most of the bars and allow the
tailings to be readily disposed of.
(5old is coarse scale, good and easily
separated from gravel and sand. The
Professor has with him an ounce of
coarse gold that two men obtaiued In
Spring Creek with ten hours' labor.
An assay of this gold hows it to be
940 fine, worth $19 43 in coin to the
ounce. Prof. Jenney corroborates
Gen. Custer's report of the Hills, and
says that they will support thousands
of miners when theGovernmentopeus
them to settlement. The valleys are
all adapted to agriculture, and the
hills and canyons to stock-raising.
Rainfall is plentiful and timberabun
dant. His official report will be made
from Uew York t probably before Con
grM mt.
433 Majority.
Church Howe, and Moore of the
Granger and others of the unscrupul
ous ring led by the gentleman named
labored incessantly, day and night,
concocted and circulated the most
barefaced lies, in their efforts to defeat
the "Majors family." yet Wils, was
elected by 433 mnjority! They said
Wils. Majors was an aristocrat and
would not allow his hired girls to eat
at the same table with himself and
family. The A dvkrtiseb denounced
the story as un infamous He, ami the
people sustained Thi:Advkrtisi:r by
433 majority.
Church Howe, in order to crush
Wils. declared everywhere thatacom
bination had been entered into be
tween Tom Major?, Dr. McComas
and The Advertiser, tn defeat Jones
ami elect McComas. Tom Majors and
The Advertiser denounced and
proved that the story was a miserable
and flimsey lie, gotten uy by Howe
and the Granger in theirdesperate ef
forts to defeat Wils. Majors for county
olerk. That lie was heralded from the
lips of Howe in every school house
In the county, and was taken up and
repeated by the villainous concern
across the street with ail its little
might; but their efforts were abor
tive, and The Advertiser and the
"Majors family" were approved by
433 majority!!!
To whose election old Howe and his
thing across the street contribute ma
terially? It Is susceptible of demon
stration that their time, breath and
efforts were fruitless to a humiliating
degree. A large majority of tie voters
did not 4waut Mr. Church for tbeir
County Judge as the result proves,
and Mr. Plasters would have been
elected all the same, and with a larger
majority, had lie had nothing to do
with the Independent party.
As we said last year, precocious
youths like Howe die j'oung, and it
is a fact conceded by his friends of a
year ago that he is a most miserable
failure as a politician with the honest
masses of Nemaha county, His hu
miliating defeat in trying to beat
Wils. Majors Is keeniy felt by him,
and he is beginning to learn that
wholesale lying and the most dastard
ly trickery will not win for any great
length of time amongst a people who
despise such practices and love candor
and fair dealing. Howe ought to see
that he standd rebuked by the people
by 433 majority.
Nebraska Election News.
Lincoln polled 999 votes. The large
vote of any ward was 400.
In Johnson county the Republican
State ticket had about 250 majority,
but for county offices party was not
very strictly adhered to: The Inde

Judge of the 2d Judicial District, is
something over 800 in the district.
Col. Savage, of Omaha, the Demo

removal of the capital and allowing
voters to express their preference for
U. S. Senators at the polls, are all car
ried by large majorities.
In Pawnee county, Capt. Raper is
elected to the Legislature to fill a va

Crime.
In New York, on the 15th, while
some colored people were returning
from a picnic held in the outskirts of
Brooklyn, they were attacked by a
number of whitps. One of the ne
groes was instantly killed by a stone
and another fatally injured. The po
lice arrested seven men who were en
gaged in theassoult.
John Hnss, cashier of the first Na
tional Bank of Tiffin, Ohio, commit
ted suicide on the 15th.
Recently a terrible shooting scrape
occurred in Pinto Canyon, Utah, be
tween two men named S. J. Burgess
and R. W. Alphin. Family difficul
ties were at the bottom of the quarrel.
A short time ago, Alphin went to
Ponacca. Nevada, with a load of corn,
and on his return, when within nine
miles from home, he was waylaid by
Burcess. When he first caught sight
of Burgess, the latter had a double
barrel shot gun drawn on him. Al
phin sprang to the ground and drew
his revolver, but before he could use
it, Burgess fired three balls entering
his bowels. Alphin fired, missed his
man, but frightened his team, which
set off on a run. Burgess jumped in
to the mad and again raised his gun.
but Alphin was read7 first and tired,
the ball lodged in Burgess' heart, and
he immediately expired. Alphin is
still alive, but no hopes are entertain
ed of his recovery.
At Clinton, La., recently a Dr.
Saunders was poisoned bj- a woman
named Catherine Mathews. The wo
man confessed when arrested, and
said she had been instigated to poison
Dr. 8aundersby two men named John
Gain and Robert Ray. On the night
of the 14tbjtxob hung the woman
to a shade tree and shot Gain to death.
A few days ago a negro la Murray

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
New York, Oct. 18, 1875.
Who in all these United States has
not heard of H. T. Helmbold, the
manufacturer and vender of Buchu?
Two-thirds of the people have paid
money for iiis medicines, and whether
they received any benefit therefrom
or not, they may be benefited by read
ing somewhat of his history. Last
Thursday "Dr." Helmbold was, for
the fourth time, incarcerated in a lu
natic asylum, where he will probably
stay the remainder of his life.
Henry T. Helmbold commenced
life as a druggist's clerk in -Philadelphia,
progressing by the help of a
brother, to the proprietorship of a
small drugstore. He conceived the
idea of putting up Buchu In the form
since so well known, twenty years
ago.Ain'd after various ups and downs
he failed three times succeeded in
Ustablishing it as a standard patent
medicine, and received from Its saie
an iucome of hundreds of thousands
of dollars per annum. But the doc
tor could not stand prosperity. The
more his goods sold the more extrav
agant he became. He commenced a
life of the wildestexcess in point of ex
penditure ever known in this city.
He had a six-in-hand team, the six
horses costing him. not less than $20,
000. The drag to which they were
driven was the mo3t expensive and
elegant ever imported to America.
Then lie had a score or more of other
horses for every purpose that horse
flesh is used. Of course he was com
pelled to have larce and elegant sta
bles, nnd an army of people to man
age his equine interests. His prin-'
cipal coachman was paid a salary of
$3,000 per annum, with rooms and
subsistence added. The doctor was
not badly off for places to live. He
had a house in New York, a mansion
at Long Branch, and the most expen
sive apartments in the most expensive
hotels in the country sheltered him at
times. He seemed to have an itch for
throwing away money. It was noth
ing for him to take Iiis six-horse drag.
with his coachman and outriders,
with a full retinue of servants, to Bal
timore or Boston, engage the most
sumptuous apartments and astonish
the natives by a display audi as they
tiad never seen before. The little fel
low would getinto that immense drag
all alone, with a coachman six feet
six on the box, and iwo footmen of
the same proportion behind, all dress
ed in white livery, and would be driv
en in solitary grandeur all over the
city, bowing at every manifestation,
as pleased as a a child with a new toy.
The mock eulogies of interested news
papers he took for honest tributes,
and flattery of hungry s-ycophauts lie
swallowed as sweet morsels.
He believed himself to be a really
great man, and nothing could be too
gross for him to believe of himself,
consequently he wassurrounded with
a mob of parasites who traded flattery
for money. These fellows absolutely
got the little man to actually believe
that be could be President, and he
spent a great deal of money to bring
himself before the people.
And with all iiis vanity and Insani
ty, he was in every respect a shrewd
business man. He was the boldest
advertiser that ever lived, and so fur
as his legitimate business was con
cerned, it was well and shrewdly
done. He iiad the trick of startling
the public into buying his medicines,
and he was the closest and shrewdest
man in the business in dealing with
newspapers. He never threw away
any money in his business. Could he
have managed outside as well as in
side, he would have been worth $o,
000,000 to day. It was nothing un
common for him to contract $100,000
to $200,000 for advertising at a single
ytroke. He made contracts to the
amount of $175,000 for advertising his
"Catawba Pills" before a single box
had been put up.
But wiue, gambling, horses, pimps
and parasites did their work at last,
aud three years ago Henry Helmbold
slipped away to Europe a pauper. A
dozen great fortunes had slipped
through his fingers, and he was com
pelled to live on the continent on the
charity of a brother. His magniti-
stores is New York and Philadelphia,
his carriages, and everything went
under the hammer, leaving nothing
butwhat would notsell. His "friends"
all left him of lourse, and when he
returned a few months ago lie was as
crazy as a loon. His wife was com
pelled to send him to an asylum
where he will probably die. Vale.
Helmbold. The only use he ever was
to the world that endured him was
to point a moral. There wasn't
enough of him to adorn a tale.
-BUSINESS,
continues fairly good, though not
brisk. There have been some heavy
movements of dry goods of a forced
nature, and something is doing in
other goods, but is far from satisfacto
ry. One of the largest tea houses in
the city told me that the month of
September was the worst month they
had had since they had been in trade,
and that October promised nothing
better. The fact is there is a horrible
lack of confidence that restricts buy
ers to just what they can get on with i
and the inflation movement in Ohio
and Pennsylvania has Increased the
feeling of uncertainty. After the
election when the inflationists in
those States are dead and buried it is
hoped there will be a revival. But
trade cannot possibly get into a regu
lar channel this year and business
men are taking In sail accordingly.
THE SOCIETY FOR THE PREVENTION
OF CRUELTY TO CHILDREN"
filnds its hands full in its terribly
needed work. At the last meeting
the society's attorney reported a list
of convictions enough to sicken the
heart of any who reads them; mostly
of the cases I mentioned in my last.
A man, arrested for beating a litle
niece elgdt years old with a
hoop
atudded with nails, gets ten davs in!theJ2th.
the city prison. The child, every one
will be glad to hear, has been taken
out of his hands and placed in a pro
tectory. A father, for beating his
son niue years old over the head with
a shovel, gets three months imprison
ment. A woman, for cru- lly beating
a child which she tried to run off
with, has six months. The Italian
organ grinders find their trade of
taking children round to beg, sadly
interfered with, and the parents who
let out children for this purpose are
fined $50. The most pitiful case is
that of the German boy of seventeen,
of whom I wrote last week, whose
mother dying suddenly without a will,
left him in unrestrained .possession of
a handsome small . property , to gain
which, one of the lowest of low wo
men used her arts over the boy, keep
ing him under her influence, hope
lessly drunk for months, till he was
reduced to Imbecility. The society
has taken him from the harpy's hands,
and a responsib.e guardian appointed
over him. The boy is recovering,
and it is hoped will become fit to have
his property when of age,
THE FASHIONS.
Last advices from abroad, say that
the most elegant wearers of dress
have abandoned tournures, and
hoops entirely, and scant dresses
made graceful by drapery drawn
about them in close wrinkled folds re
lieve both the eye and the purse.
This mode, the most ambitious of our
ladies have made haste to adopt; and
before spring the manufacturers of
crinoline, will probably confine them
selves to making the old fashioned
hair-cloth skirts, the only thing ladies
will tolerate to support their draper
ies, clo3e gipsy and sailor shapes, in
felt or velvet are the choice for
hats and bouuets. Let it be said that
it is well always not to take the first
striking style as the fashion of a sea
son. There is always a second ohoice,
quieter and more becoming, which
the best people assume, and which
really gives tone to the fashions in
general. The flaring halo brims, and
scoop shaped hats, which, with their
masses of flowers and feather trim
mings, gave such an absurd happ to
the head, are quietly discarded for
the modest, and becoming styles
which are the last from Paris.
Also plaids will be too common for
prsentability among people of taste
by November, nnd rather wide stripes
in dark shades so closly alike, as to be
nearly in viable, are now chosen for
really stylish suits. Plain velvet
skirts take the place of silk ones be
neath these over-dresses, and the cost
Is little more than that of a fully
trimmed silk, while the wear is much
more satisfactory. Full suits of wool
material are also seen again, with
cloak of plain beaver covered with
striped braiding.
POLITICS
The political pot is boiling more
quietly here. AH my iiopes of a row
among the Democracy have vanish
ed in tiie air. Morrissey who breath
ed vengeance on Tammany has quiet
ly subdued "for the good of the par
ty." All of which means that he has
been promised his "divey," that his
bluster was for the purpose of extort
ing terms and nothing else. Conse
quently, tin poor plundered city is to
be still plundered.
The news from Ohio indicating the
defeat of inflation Allen inspires the
business men of New York with a
little courage. If Ohio kills Allen
and Pennsylvania puts the knife to
Pershing's throat, a long stride will
be made toward retaining that confi
dence, without which there is no use
of talking of business. The people
want to touch solid ground in govern
mental matters before they will ven
ture tbeir money into the enterprises
necessary to brisk and busy times.
Mem. Republicans, for the sake of
the country, do your whole dut3
PIETRO.
Agricultural Sotes.
Mr. John Whittemore, of St. Al
bins, Vt., receuily had forty sheep
killed by dogs.
The Albion, Mich.. Recorder, states
that James It. Taylor rained from one
pound 220 pounds of Eureka pota
toes, a new variety.
A traveler eays: "In Utah you can
feed your hogs on her acorns, scald
them in her hot springs, scrape them
through her sage brush aud pickle
them in her Salt Lake.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
of Georgia reports the cotton crop of
that Stole at but little more than two
thirds of a full crop, and a deficiency
of 2,000,000 bushels of corn.
A farmer writes : "The best food for
sheep I ever used, all thiugs consider
ed, is good, bright, early cut hay. and
.na peck of corn and oats, mixed
equal parts, to 100 sheep daily.
The September report of the De
partment of Agriculture says if the
corn cron could be thoroughly ripen
ed, its aggregate would largely exceed
any previous crop, and the yield per
acre would be one of the best, not
withstanding losses hi the overflow
of bottoms and the saturation of fiat
heavy soil, suehlss proving less than
the usual damages by drought and in
sects, while the rains have greatly
benefitted the crop on higher and
dryer soil. Nearly everywhere corn
is late in maturing from one to two
weeks.
Dr. Henry Parker, of Berea. Ohio,
has an Ayershire cow, four years old
in March last, that this year averaged
fifty pounds of milk per day, through
the month of June.
The last Indiana Legislature passed
a law "that every person who fihall
cruelly beat or torture, or overdrive
any horse or other animal, whether
belonging to himself or annther.shali
be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor,
and, upon conviction, shall be fined
any sum not exceeding $100."
Such a law shouid prevail every
where. Corn loses one-fifth by drj'ing, and
wheat pne-fourteenth. From this the
estimate is mane mat it is more pro
fitable for the farmer to sell unshellpd
corn in the fall at 75 cents than at $1
a bushel in the following summer:
and that wheat at$l 25 in Depem!er is
equal to $1 50 in the succeeding June.
In caes of potatoes taking those
that rot and are otherwise Inst to
gether with the shrinkage, there is
little doubt that hetwpen October and
June the loss to the owner who holds
them Is not less than 33 per cent.

LETTER FROM EUROPE.
Warwickshire, Eng., Rngby
ington TVorwiek Castle
Kennihvorth. -Loeni
Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
Passing by. for the present, as I
must, all that interested me so much
in Ireland, and also an exceedingly,
pleasant visit at Manchester, I will
endeavor to give your readers a sketch
of what has interested me most in this
part of England.
Warwickshire is one of the most
beautiful counties in England, as well
as one of the most classic. It lies not
far from one hundred miles northwest
from London abou t hal f way to Liver
pool. The faceof the country is gent
ly broken, every foot of it is improv
ed, and so the most beautiful land
scapes are everywhere presented to
view. It is charming to drive thro'
the country. All along are beautiful
pasture lots, enclosed by neat, low
hedges of hawthorn, skirted by large
trees, and covered with luxuriant pas
ture. Here and there you Bee a field
of grain, turnips, or potatoes, but thN
region is chiefly devoted to grazing.
What is everywhere striking is the
thoroughness of the farming that is
done. No land is wasted. Every
acre is under the highest cultivation,
so that the country is yielding the
highest returns of whicli it is capable.
But I am here at Shakespeare's
birthplace and home, and I must not
confine myself to such commonplace
subjects. lamin the sitting room of
the Falcon Tavern, so much frequent
ed by him. Over the way -is his gar
den and the site of the house he built
and occupied the last fourteen years
of his life. Guild Church, with the
Grammar school he attended when a
boy, adjoiuing, is over the way a little
to the right. I have seen most of the
important places here that are held
sacred to his memory, still I feel no
'fine frenzy" coming upon me. My
music is as voiceless as ever. I believe
others have had emotions stirred with
in them they could not utter while
gazing upon objects he has touched,
or up the stone beneath which he lies.
Certainly no one can behold these
relics of the immortal bard and main
tain a state of cool indifference. I
wish my friends might share the sat
isfaction which I have enjoyed to-day,
but how shall I attempt to represent
what I have seen ? Telling will not
do it, but that is all that can be done.
Before attempting anything about
Stratford In particular, I must go back
to Rugby and approach more gradu
ally this town of Shakespeare. It is
all Shakespeare. There is nothing
else in the town, or about it for I don't
know 'how far around. I passed a
shop pver wliioh was this sign, "W.
Shakespeare, Shoemaker." Yet I
think It is mostly external show for
the attraction of visitors. A book
seller told me he thought Shakes
speare was less read in Stratford than
n any town of etjualsize in England.
THE RUGDY SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
The chief institution in the quiet
town of Rugby is the "Rugby School
for Roys," famous the world over
through the influence of the two very
unequal men Dr. Arnold and Tom
Brown. The school was just organ
izing and I only saw the buildings.
The chapel is a neat aud commodious
modern building, rendered sacred al
ready by the dust of able and good
men, chief among them is Dr. Thomas
Arnold, head master. A stone in the
floor of the charuel marks the spot
where he rests from his labors. Even
Shakespeare is hardly held higher in
Stratford thau Dr. Arnold in Rugby.
His chair and table are in the vestry.
The boys meet every morning at seven
in the chapel for prayers. The school
buildings ure partly new and partly
very old. The school wa3 founded a
little over three hundred years ago.
The older class rooms are very quaint,
They are furnished with plain un
paiuted wooden benches aud desks,
carved and whittled almost away.
Indeed about all the furniture is old
fashioned and poor. The old room of
the sixth form, in which Dr. Arnold
taught, is still used. Adjoining it is
the library. It contains many old
books and some new ones. Some of
them are rare. I saw Tom Brown's
study, and the one adjoiuing. They
are, like all the others, little cells
about six by eight, aud not more than
eight feet high, witli a little window
in the side. They are furnished very
neatly, but remind one of a squirrel"
nest. About eight of the four hund
red and more boys live in the school.
LOEsnyaTox
fifteen miles west of Rugby, is one of
the handsomest towns iu England.
It is noted for its mineral waters,
which are believed to possess valuable
medicinal properties. It has several
fine public buildings and a college,
but, alas, no ruin of importance, so
we must pass it by.
Two miles beyond is
WARWICK.
the county seat of Warwickshire, a
very old but uninteresting town aside
from its castle.
THE CASTLE OF WARWICK,
the property and residence of the
present Earl of Warwick, is very
magnificent and represents very per
fectly the old baronies of England.
An outer wall surrounds the premises
which are quite extensive. During
visiting hours a rap at the outer gate
admits you, and you pass up a wind
ing approach cut through the solid
rock aud on through an open space to
the great gate of the castle. Over it
Is a ponderous arch surmounted by a
kind of tower. At the corner of the
wall upon the right is Guy's tower,
one hundred feet high, one hundred
and fifty above the river, octagonal in
form, with walls twelve feet thick.
From its top a magnificent view of
the country around is had. To the
left of the gate is Caesar's tower, not
quite so high, but rising from the very
edge of the river, the water washing
its base. Beneath it is a dungeon in
which many an unhappy mortal has
been confined. The walls of the cas
tle are many feet thick, in some parts
fifty feet high and surmounted by
parapets. The inner court is sur
prisingly beautiful. A circular drive
drive passes around
which is tastefully
a greensward
adorned with
flowers.
Entering the castle itself, on the
walls beneath which the Avon flows,
a scene ofjsurprising ostentation opens
to you. You pass successively thro'
the Great Hall, the Cedar Drawing
Room, the Gilt Room, the State Bed
Room, the State Dressing Room and
a Gallery all profusely furnished
with rare paintings, sculpture, tables,
urns, etc., etc, One table is shown
made of preiiou3 stones in Roman
mosaic whicli is valued at 10,000.
Iu the State Bed Room is the bed of
Queen Ann, presented to the Earl by
.George III. The room is adorned
with tapestry made in Brussels in 1604.
The armory contains a profusion of
armor, arms and implements of war
and civil combat, belougingtodifferent
ages and uations. Besides thee others
are shown to the public, but it Is too
wearisome to go through them all.
Passing outside the castle wall thro'
another gate between the small towers
in which at one time bears were kept,
you pass over what was once a draw
bridge over a moat now dry. The
walk leads through beautiful grounds
to the greenhouse. It was built ex
pressly for the reception of a celebrat
ed vase found in the lake near Tivoli,
and purchased for the late Earl by Sir
Wm. Hamilton, when embassador at
the court of Naples.. It is large enough
to hold 1G1 gallons, and is wonderful
ly carved" out of white marble. It is
said to be the finest work of art that
has reached this country. I do not
vouch for the statement. In the
greenhouse are two tree ferns fifteen
feet high and more than a foot in di
ameter, besides other rare plants.
From the front the landscape is ex
quisitely beautiful. The flower beds
immediately in front, the sloping
lawn so green and set around with
grand cedars and other old trees make
up a scene of richest beauty.
At the porters gate where we enter
ed the outer wall are kept some curi
ous relics of
GUY THE FIRST EARL OF WARWICK.
He is a fabled character said to have
been nine feet tall, aud to have killed
in open fight a giant of Denmark.
The relics consist of his arms and
armor, staff, tilting pole, fieHh hook
and porridge pot. The woman who
exhibits them recftes her speech iu a
very affected, oratorical style, begin
ing : "This is the porridge pot of Guy
first Earl of Warwick and punch bowl
of the present Earl of Warwick. It
was filled and emptied three times ou
the night the present Earl' came of
age. It holds (I do not remember the
quanlitiesof the differeut ingredients)
202 gallons in ail," etc. Aftershe had
got through I innocently asked herto
tell me again the capacity of the pot.
Instead of simply telling me 202 gal
gals she begau more eloquently thau
before "this is the porridge pot of Guy
firtt Earl of Warwick, and punch
bowl of the present Earl of Warwick,"
etc A hint I remembered from Mark
Twain induced me to let litr go on
till she came to the desired informa
tion I wanted!, and I asked no more
questions.
Five miles north of Warwick Is
KE ML WORTH,
a desolate, falling ruiu of a once mag
nificent castle, but rescued from ob
livion by the genius of Sir Walter
Scott. It is the grandest illustration
of fallen greatness and humbled pride
I have ever looked upon. I will not
weary the reader, if one has followed
me so far as this, with an attempt at
description. It could give no ade
quate conception of the object, indeed
uothing short of a visit toany of these
spots cau give any considerable degree
of satisfaction.
On the way to Warwick 3ou pass
guy's cliff
the residence of the late Lord Percy.
It is so called because it is built on u
rock on the margin of the Avon under
which is a cave in which it is said
Guy lived a hermit the last years of
his life and died. Near by is n stone
well, said to be nine hundred years
old ! I see no reason to doubt it. The
p. ace is one of the most beautiful se
questered spots I have ever beheld.
A long avenue of large trees leads
from the road to the front of the house
The house is now lhe property of
Lady Percy and her daughter. In
their absence the house with its fur
nishings is shown to visitors. It did
uot appear to good advantage so soon
after seeing the Earl's palatial castle,
yet it seemed very elegant notwith
standing the overpowering splendor
of the later.
There are other objects of interest
in the neighborhood, aud the scenery
of the country around in its quiet
beauty deserves more than I have
said, but this must suffice for the pres
ent. W. E.

On the night of the 4th inat., the
White Leaguers of Mississippi added
another bloody deed to its long list of
crimed. Anthony Smith went from
Chicago to Clinton, Mis?., to take a
(ciiool, on invitation of a friend, but
the League finding that lie was from
the North and probably a Republican
wavlaid and shot him to death.
A man recently committed Rtilcide
in Baltimore by jumping from the

distance of 15(1 feet, and falling on the

man was not ascertained.
An "Iowa Exposition Company"

Special attention Is called to the latter.
Harmony. It has more direct application Vj
correctness In rending music at sittht, and it
full appreciation of the same, thmr any olti
er depart ment that can be pursued.
A deduction from the regular rate will be
made to those wishing Instructions In mors
than one branch.
The following Is a letter of recommenda
tion recently received from Mr. F. W. Root,
under whose Instruction he has been tor tb
past two summers :
Chicago, August 21th, 1S75.
I take pleasure In uivlngan opinion of Mr.
E. M. Llpplttas a musician, and hope that
what Is said may assist him to a position
where his ability may be made of the great
est use.
The statement is briefly thlsr I have
known Mr. Llpplttfor three or fonryears,
and have come to reard him as poses'i'n
excellent talent and sterling perseverance.
He has, under our direction, been made ac
quainted with those methods of voice, piano
and harmony, which wo believe to be the
best, and has gone far toward masterlnc the
principles of them in his own performance.
Believing that Mr. L. will never be snperfl

hesitate to recommend him as teacher or
music In any community.
