""5P-,5 T I Mi , m 5. a hi' i J! id 1,1 a r3 w--- - - THE ADVERTISER titdrsday, dec. ib. 1873. A Teachers Institute me nee t Nebraska City fry. will corn next Tues- A bod of Dr. Shelton, 13 yeara old, naar Gibbon, was recently thrown from a wagon and killed. Nebraska's increase in population during 1875 was 30,000. Good enough, considering the grasshoppers. The Niobrara Pioneer say, "a grist mill is one of the needed improve ments in Niobrara. We have one of the beat mill sites In the country on Verdigris Creek, five miles from town." The President's Message Is spoken of universally by the Republican press In the highest terms of praise, but the Democrats, wJjo will not at tribute a good motive to Grant, they gnaw a huge file. Since Brigham Young's release from confinement he acts like a changed man. Brooklyn Argus. Brigham may act like an altered manwben his wiveB go back on him ; hut 'tis said he Is a hale, vigorous old gentleman yet. It Is generally believed now that Boss Tweed, when he escaped from his jailer, or as is more probable, was turned looso, was spirited on board of some vessel ready to sail for a for eign port, and that he is now on the briny deep making good his escape. Many a feliow who cannot possibly pay his washerwoman will rush nround and scrape together enough to take his girl to the. theatre in ten minutes. Star. A young fellow who can get his girl a to theater in so short a time,'no difference how muoh money he has. has yet to learn about protracted fe licity by walking a half mile out of the way instead of rushing through In a business sort of way by the near est route. 1 -ft- Ex-Senrator Schurz is reported to have said to Governor Tilden. a few days ago, that Mr. Bayard, of Dela ware, would make "an ideal Presi dent." This is very true, and Mr Schurz meant it to be complimentary also, but It la not. Mr. .Schurz can read in his own fate what the Ameri cans think of "ideal"3tate3men. They hanker aftpr the real article. The Globe Democrat, from which we clip tho above is about right in its estimate of that migratory Sena tor. . . The Democrats of Congress held a caucus a few evenings ago, during which they passed a resolution, en dorsing the President's recommeda tions regarding free and non-sectarian Bchools. In this that Democratic Con gressional caucus has done well If sin cerity prompted the action. There is nothing e would rather see the two great parties unite upon than perpet uating the common free school sys tem and placing an everlnsting bari r between State and church govern ment. Some of our cotemporarles are mis taken in saying thai the President In bin message recommends compulsory education. He simply recommends that after the year 1890 the privilege of theelectlve franohiseshall bo withheld from men who cannot read nnd write; providing that none who have previ ous to that time exercised that right, shall be disfranchised. There is nothing compulsory about that. The privilege of voting is simply with held from those who refuse or neglect to learn to read and write. The Washington correspondent of the Chicago Tribune says : There is at present a very marked difference of oninion between north ern and southern democrats In con gress upon party polloy. The north ern democrats favor inaction, the southern bourbons approve of aggress ion. Tho southern democrats seem Inclined to assume the prominence in their party councils which they did before the war, and to have a deter mining voice in shaping party policy and legislation. Tho difference between the rebel el ement and the northern demooracy Is, the former are honest and outspo ken, while their brethren of the north are hypocritical and dishonest, and think that the party can play a more successful game In disguise. They would deceive by acting 'possum, but the blatant, aggressive, dlsgUBtlng, rebel democrat Is the more trustworthy of the two kinds of democrats. The national Grange recently In session at Louisville, adopted the fol lowlng'resolution : Resolved, That tho currency ques tion is rapidly becoming a political question and therefore should not be entertained by the grange. It seems that the national grange in all Us business ha3 been watchful and careful to ignore every thing of a political, or partisan nature. Not withstanding this, a few men calling themselves representatives of a few granges in the Northwestern States met a few days ago in Chi cago and organized or attept ed to organize an "Indepen dent party" The men composing the convention were demagogues, office Beckers, and political wireworkers, such as may be found in every locali ty among the grangers; men who have unfortunately been admitted in to the order, but have not its prosper ity at heart. They are its greatest fcurse, having no higher motives than . ito make money out of thp grange, and their own elevation to office. Such onen are always trying to "handle :those fellows" as a leading granger .used to boast to us that he intended ;to do, for their own aggrandizement TJeje-are so many unprincipled but fihrewed .politicians connected with the granges of the different States that it wlllhe nearly impossible for the honest-potlon of the order to pre sent it from plunging into the Blougbs or partlim. Bishop Hare, or Niobrara, lectured in Newark, N. J., on Fridayeveuing, on tho subject of Indian Missions. He said that, despite all his savagery, the Indian Is by nature a man of re ligion? instincts, and can be Christian ized. The white men on our frontiers are mainly outlaws thieves and mur derers who live by selling fire-water to the red tnfin.Tnlcr-Ocean. This Bishop Hare is the Episcopal BishoD of the Niobrara Diocese. He being from the frontier the people of the far east will presume he is quali fied to sneak and does ppeak truthful- I.. -..i-i;r,r lla ralininim liutlire of ijr irSoiuiu6 ...v. ...., the Indian, and the kind of white people that mainly inhabit "our fron tiers." Bishop Hare, having an op portunity to know, ns New Jersey people would nuturally suppose, says that the frontier men are mainly thieves, murders and outlaws. The fact is, that white men on our fron tiers are mainly those who have shouldered the axe and blazed the way into the wilderness, and with breaking plow marked the path for the following or the institutions and customs of civilization and good gov ernment. RiahoD Hare Bays that these brave men are outlaws, thieves and murderers. How ungenersus'in a christian minister to give such a character to these forerunners of churches, schools and all the appoint ments of a free country. Had It not been for these men that Bishop Hare has so outrageously slandered, the war dance of that inordinately relig ions Indian, would have been going on now on on the hill where stands the school house; and instead of the reverberations of the bell, we now hear calling the children up to the temple of knowledge, the wild whoop of the pointed (but religious ! ) savage would have invoked the spiritsof their gods for more women and children to scalp. Bishop Hare, we must say be lies the people on the frontiers. We know what kind of people settle up this western country. There are somo bad people among them of course, but they are "mainly11 houest sociable, genenerous, brave true heart ed and industrious. We do not say they are Episcopalians, or that they profess the religion of any kind of popular orthodoxy, but they are just as good asifthey did for all the uses or duties of this world. The Bishop of Niobrara is not hap py in his diocese among whites for Lhe pioneers are "mainly outlaws, theives and robbers," and he ought to be sent futher to the nothwest, where the Indians are naturally more relig ious, and where, in the practice of their religion, they would soon put him in a shape that kid gloves, sur plices and hair oil wuld be of no more use to him. And ihey would relish him perhaps as a substitute for baked dog infinitely more than as an oracle from the great spirit. Then he applies for an investigation by a committee in Washington, and of course is accommodated, thus tak ing his case out of the hands of those reckless characters at St. Louis, who had as soon convict a man aB not, and niacins: it with his partners who are sure to bring a whitewashing report. Babcock will be acquitted. Wo clip the above from a Nebraska City News editorial In reference to the reported connection of Gen. Babcock with the whisky ring. The editor of tho News, we believo, professes to be a lawyer, and It will cause astonish ment among his legal brothers when they learn that one of their number solemnly asseverates that "of course" a military court takes Gen. Babcock'a case out of the hands of tho civil courts of St. Louis, "who had as soon convict a man as not," and puts him on trial in a military court, "who will bring in a whitewashing report." There is not another lawyer, or an other man, In Nebraska., who. knows as much as a last year's bird's nest, who does not know that the civil courts take prtcedenco of military courts. Everybody knows that but the News man. But his Ignorance served him at any rate It served him to perpetrate one of his miserable Inu endoes against the administration. Now, tho truth is, In General Bab cock's case, that there was a commis sion of military men appointed to In vestigate the charges rgainst him. Since the appointment of that com mittee, General Babcock has been in dicted by a grand jury at St. Louis, and this action of the grand jury took the oase out of the hands of the mili tary commission, which, knowing that it was subordinate to the civil court, adjourned at once to await its decision. 8o our readers seo that Gen. Babcock 's case is precisely the reverse of what the Neios saya it Is. The Nebraska CUy'News'celebrated Its twenty-second birthday, on the 14th of November last. Ex. The paper started at the City about 22 years ago stopped publication and changed its name 'about seven ago. It was called the News, but the pres ent Democratic concern up there is only about five years old. The Ne braska Advertiser is the oldest paper in Nebraska that never died. Recently an old Catholic church in South America, two or three hundred years old, was being repaired, when the wallB were found to be hollow, and filled with human skeletons. The bones of 5,000 human beings have been taken out. This is supposed to be some of the horrible work of-the Inquisition. i a Senator Bogy ban Introduced a bill in the senate authorizing the payment of duties on imports in legal tenders and National bank notes, and by unanimous consent addressed the senate in favor of the bill, stating that in his opinion it would be tantamount to a resumption of specie payment.

The United States Navy now has eighty available vessels of war, twenty-six of which are iron clad twenty one being of4be monitor type, u Thexew York Mercury gives an account, which lias the appearance of truth, of a child that was born in that city with a complele set of teeth and a heavy growth of hair, and that one day when about six weeks old It startled its mother nearly out of her senses by rising up in its cradle and talking to her. She said she had been away from the house awhile. leaving tho bahy with a little girl, who, when the mother returned said the baby had been talking. She did not believe it. of course; but on ap proaching th cradle the little one raised up and said: "Mother, why did you go away and leave me so long?" The mother was a Jew, and she ran after the Rabbi, who accom panied her to her hout-e.- When he approached the cradle the baby raised up and looked at him. Tho Rabbi exclaimed, "how can yon have the impudence as to sit upin the cradle?" The babe then said, "I could tell you a great deal that j'ou do not know; ask me much and I will tell you much ; ask melittle and I will tell you little ; I know more about this world and the next than you know or ever can learn." The Rabbi then hastened to put on the emblems of priesthood, and after the performance of some'Jewisb cer emony he touched the child on the forehead with,his forefinger when it at once laid back in its cradle and died. It puzzles the wise men to oc count for the phenomena of this pre cocious babe. Andrew Jackson Da vis, the great spiritualist, soya it was simply mediumistic, and that a spirit spoke through the organs of the child. The mother was a respectable poor woman, who washes'tho clothes of her neighbors for a living. There Is a terrible row in the house over the appointments by the post master and doorkeeper. Those repre sentatives who voted for the success ful man expected to have sometning to say in the dispensation of the pa tronage, but the two sovereigns have taken the matter into their own hands and are appointing their personal friends, who are exclusively rebel soldiers. No man residing north of the Ohio, has yet been appoin ted. A new doorkeeper has been chosen for the reporters' gallery, In the face of the protest and recommendation for another man signed by all the news paper men in the town. Washington Correspondent Chicago Inter-Ocean. How do the Republicans who de serted their party, and voted to make this Democratic majority in the house like the perusal of the obove quota tion, "As ye sow, so shall ye reap." Omaha Re)ublican. Those exploits of this rebel Congress purely indicates to what lengths the democracy would gohad they also the President and Senate. None but ex rebels and men like their speaker, who never cost a vole in his life in favor of freedom, equal rights or the Union undivided, would receive hon ors or patronage from the Government Union men and Boldiera would have to take back seats, while the pension roll would embrace all crippled rebel dom and all the widows and children of rebel soldiers. And all that the south Buffered in Its efforts to sever the Union would have to be paid by a general tax, the great bulk of which would come off northern 103'al men. These are facts preceptibfe to every voter that reads and retlects. The following are the closing words of President Grant's great message Thev find hearty approval in the minds of every true American : As this will be the last annual mes sage which I bhall have the houo.r of transmitting to uongress belore my successor is chosen, 1 will repeat, or recapitulate the questions which 1 deem of vital importance, which should be legislated upon and settled at this session. First, that the States Bhall be required to otford the oppor tunity of a good common school edu cation to every child within their lim its. Second, no sectarian tenets shall ever be taught in any school supported in whole, or in part, by the stale, iNauon, or oy me proceeds o any tax levied upon any commuuity ; to make education compulsory, so far as to deprive all persons who cannot read and write from becoming voters after the year 1890. disfranchising none however, on grouuds of illitera cy, who may be voters at the time Uiis amendment takes effect. Third, declare church and state forever separ ate and distinct, but each free with in their proper f-pheres, and ail that church property shall bear its own proportion of taxation. Fourth, drive out licensed immorality such as poly gamy, and the importation of women for illecitimate purposes. 'Jo recur again to the centennial year, it would seem as though, now tnot we are about to begin asecond century of our Nation's existence.it would be a most fitting time for these reforms. Fiflh, enact such Ibwb as will insure aspeedy return to a sound currency, such as will command the respect of the world. Believing that these views will com mend themselves to the great major! ty of the right thinking and patriotic citizens or the United states, x suo mit the rest to Congres. (Signed) U. S. Grant.

The cabi net session to-day was of unusual length, and the attention of the Pres ident and the cabinet officers was di rected almost altogether to the subject of whisky frauds in St. Louis. Attorney-General Pierrepont read a statement of special council Hender son, and presented it to the meeting. There w.us some conversation after word upon the construction to be placed upon, the remarks of the collii sel as presented, bj him for the appro val or disapproval of the Department of Justice, but nothing in the nature of discussion, and It was fully agreed that the remarks of Henderson were In no regard justifiable, the members of the cabinet expressing themselves without Reserve in this matter. The result was that it was determined to have a change made in the special council, and the Attorney-General prepared the following dispatch, which was telegraphed to United States Attorney Dyer late this after noon Departmrnt of Justice.

Dyer, St. Louis : Thesworn reportof Henderson's speech, forwarded by Mr. Eaton, and referred to by both you and Henderson In your dispatch es yesterday, as correct, was read in a full cabinet meeting to-day, and it was regarded by every member as an outrage upon professional propriety thus to reflect, without a shadow of reason, upon the President, by whom his emplo3'ment was sanctioned, in order that no impediment might be placed in the way of bringing to speedy punishment t-very defrauder of the revenue in St. Louis.

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser. New York, Dec. 13, 1875. the weathe-r and dcst. Singularly enough, the weather wise who ore so reody to forecot storms and hard seasons, never think It worth while to prophecy a mild winter. ' Such a. prediction wouh&be vost comfort now. Winter has elbow ed Thanksgiving out of the way and settled upon our streets and squares with a horror of Ice and dust. There has been no thaw for days, the streets are dry ond ground fine by the wheels. U is impossible, to Sprinke them, and New Yorkers efndure an Eiryptiau plague In a vicious dust that blows rind searches tp the inmost folds of their garments, and the ruin of met ropolitan skirts and stocking. The weather has been skirmishing about zero sinco Thanksgiving. Freights from the Weat have been hurried to market hafore navigation closes, and enormous tows have been floating down the Hudson for a week. -The hurry was none too, soon, either, for the last reports say the upper Hudson is closing, and one large float of canal and towboats is fast already. THE WILSON PAGEANT. Spite of the cold, last Saturday, the sidewalks on Broadway from City Hall were filled with a deep line of people to see the procession escort ing the remains of the Vice-President Wilson. The crowd waited from dhree o'clock in the afternoon till af ter six, when the passage of the military and civil cortege in the shad ows and half-lights was more impress ive than it could have been by day. A man's good deeds are the best flow ers to heap upon his name, and there are many such to tell of Henry Wil son's. Half a dozen winters ago Jen nie Collins, the bright little Boston lecturer, was drawn to Washington to lecture by an inexperienced specu lator, who managed all the arrange ments so as to make a dead failure, not paying lecture fee, traveling expenses, or hall rent. The getter-up of the lecture was a poor woman, who fan cied she might put a few dollars in her pocket by the stroke, but it le'ft both manager and lecturer in a sad plight. Somebody went to Senator Wilson and told him how badly they were off the lecturer a girl from his Stateand he quietly made up the loss, gaye Jennie a fifty dollar bill and sent the woman off consoled. He was doirig such things often. He h.ad a habit of kindness. It might have been politic, but there are few me,n who study to be politic who find it necessary to scatter kindness with bo wide a hand. He was wise in kind ness, top, and knew how to make a thousand go further In doing good to the needy than many rich men make their tens of thousands. THE HARD TIMES. PeopU here are not entirely taken, up with growling at the hard timesr Professor Orton projects an expedition: in South America, having for its end to find a route for a railroad that will shorten the jouruey from this port to the Cape of Good Hope a hundred days. Then we shall get our African diamonds, bullock's-teeth aud fine tooth combs -in a state of gratifying freshness. Perhaps, this will enable tho cities to spread their population thinner, and there may be a place fori such unfortunates as the plain spoken one whose, advertismeut is cut from this day's Telegram. 11 1 want a situation at anything that I can make a living at. Address F. S., Telegram office." There are a good many thousands wanting the same thing, will be more before the winter Is out. Here is another of the same sort : "A man 23 years of age wants em ployment at anything ; very low wa ges, Address M. P. K., Telegram of- This one speaks of anxiety too heart felt to hide itself. "Must have employment at once, or self and invalid mother willstarve; will do anything that is honest: good references. Address M. Stevens, Sta tion A." The Telegram announces that it will publish notices for those wanting work each Sunday, free of charge. This too may be politic, but that doesn't hinder it from being a benefit. There are faithful creatures in the world waiting and eager to do work which some one else is waiting and needing to have them, do. It Is my belief that there Is a place for every starving one of these crowded thou sands, if one knew where to find it a place where he is wanted just sb bad ly as he wants to fill It. If the two could only be brought together. And If any man or woman feel3 like help ing to bring want to woe, for heaven's sake don't let him stop, because it may turn out the most profitable thing he could do. The ueed in ev erv clf.v is saddeniner. and the out- look for the winter frightful in view of the scarcity of employment, but let every one take hold and do his small part, and the work will go through as gallantly as tho Sanitary Commission of old. As a beginning one hundred tickets, each entitling a homeless person to a night's lodging in the dormitory in Prince street, have been sent to every west-s-ide po lice station. All or most of the be nevolent societies propose to unite in one association, to strengthen ench other's hands, and systematize the work of public oha'rity, as well as to combine against tramps and bummers who intend to support themselves without work by going from one aid society to another, in turn. Vagrants will find such orgauized scrutiny brought upon them as will make them as well known as the principal thieves and pick-pockets are to the police. THE OTJIEP. SIDE. Everybody doesn't have to look on this ragged, dirty, heel-sore side of life in 'these tim.es. There be hun dreds so rich that, for safety's sake, they keep their accounts in a half dozen banks. A mon walked in on an uncomfort-ably-off old Jady in this city, one morning, and found her crying. "Why ! what's the matter any bad luck?" "Why, here," said she, "my agent has just sent in $30,000 this month, and I don't know where to invest it." The Singer Sewing Ma chine Company have a surplus of $24, 000,000, and though the late Mr. As tor with his siugle fortune of $40,000, 000, must have looked down on these poor manufacturers, there are among my readers those who weuld ex change with them. What a mine of wealth Is a good patent! Speaking of the FORTUNES IN PATENTS, The inventor usually is the person who has the least good for his work. The originator of the Singer Sew ing Machine, worked In the employ of the company for years, at a salary of twenty dollars a week, and is there now, getting rather more than twice that, while Singer, who appropriated his brains, made out of the invention enough to keep a half dozen wives, aud gorgeous mansions all over the world. The inventor of the Mower died poor, though the companies that took his inventions all got rich. The new writing ma chine or Type-Writer aa It Is uamed, which bids fair to rival the success of the sewing machine, being as useful to business men as that is to women, was sold by its first inventor, a Wis consin editor, who never yet got sev en hundred and fifty dollars for it. The advantage from an invention, in a money way, increases with itB distance from the brain that starts it. On a popular patent in view cost ing over a hundred dollars, the In ventor gets one dollar on each ma chine. Magnificent liberality ! Yet this was all that was offered him, and he was forced to take it. COSMETIC DEALERS. One of the pin-iosities of the day Is the advertisement of a certain Mad ame in one of the leading dailies, who makes a, livelihood by removing snneffluous haire from the face. The announcement gives very fash iouable hours, and is the first open advertisement noticed of a cosmetic artist, though the existence of such a guild is made known to passers on Sixth Avenue door-plates, which an nounce that within hair of any color is bleached and dyed a beautiful gol den shade by a few applications. The necessaries of life are the first to feel the pressure of a bad business season. The vices and luxuries still flourish. A man may go without food, but nev er without whiskey and tobacco. So a woman may gowith insufficient underclothing, but she wilj find the money in some way to beautify her self. All these people are doing a flourishing trade. babnum's sales. How many of your readers did not see Barnum's great hippodrome, eith er last season or the season before? Not many, T warrant. Well, the great show has come to an end, its glory is departed and the "mammoth aggregation" is dispersed. The entire concern was closed out at auction, last week, which was the occusaton of heavy groans from the great showman. Barnutn always dealt fairly with the people, audi when he advertised English race horses, that was the kfhd he gave them. He imported thirty of the best blooded racers in England, and it was absurd the prices they brought. Webster an English thoroughbred, which cost Barnutn $600, brought on ly 20, and the others went at about the same price. One only, went up as high as$150. Thtrihighest price paid for hi3mugnificent draught horses was $220 for one team, the others going as low as $50. Thre were 162 horses sold, good bad and Indifferent, in cluding the trick and ring horses aud all they brought was $20,000 not a tenth of whatBarnum paid for them two years ago. The fact Is, running horses have no value in this country, because the trot is theoniy gait recog nized as valuable. Were NYeDster as good a trotter as lie is a runner, he would have brought $10,000. Barnum would have mado money had he ship-' ped the horses all back to England. His other show property wentatquite as ruinous a sacrifice. The suits of armor worn in the pageants, which cost $150 each in London, went for $7. Almost anybody might go into the show business on these terms. But Barnum is rich and he doesn't mind it. He will do te same thing over in two years. THE DA VINOS BANKS. Are collapsing, one after another, to the terror of the poor, who have their little all in them. There Is fear and trembling among these people, for bitter experience has taught them that in these times nothing is safe. This feeling of Insecurity haa Induced runB that have weakened banks that ordi narlally would have got through. But those that have broken were nev er entitled to confidence. They were never started on right principle. A dozen men get together and start a savines bank for the sole purpose of making a place for one respectable old centlemen as President, and two or three brisk young me as cashier, teller and book-keeper. A dozen good names flirure as directors, but the business is all done by the old noodle and young recklessnesses. The mouey token in from poor men and women is invested In real estateand mortgag es, at fancy prices, to accomodate the directors and their friends. Finally, the tight times come thoso who have borrowed can't pay the property se curity is sold, and, lo! it has shrunk in value a half, ond down gos the bank. The nice old gentleman and the brisk young men get out of the way the directors regret their im prudence the poor depositors go starve, and the tiling blows over. Good times brine: another crop, and the game is repeated. There are over thirty of these banks in the city that have failed, or will, withiu a few weeks, aud it is sicken- lnr in know that in most cases fraud is at the bottom of their unsoundness It Is a nitv that Ivnch-law can't aveneo the poor depositors. Of ail the sharks, these robbers of working men. women and children, are the most to be hated. Thousands of la boring people who depended upon their little accumulations in the banks to take them through the winter, find themselves, theBe bitter mornings, without work pr a olar to carry them through the day. Until some of these swindlers are hung, lamp posts will not have been thoroughly utilized. BUSINESS. Continues as dull as possible, and fac es, long enough In the fall, are longer now.
