A ITGHT POR LIFE OE DEATH.
It wag night In the camp of Maxi
milian's army, and sounds of merri
ment were heard upon all sides, for
Boldiersjare ever wont to Indulge in
pleasure, regaadless of what the mor
row will bring forth.
In a tent In the Inner circle of tho
camp, sat two officers at a rude table,
upon wbioh was marked with led
pencil a chess, or checker board,
while black and white buttons served
- fcr the 'men.'
Around the tent were stationed
guards, and both of the officers were
unarmed, while not a weapon of any
description was visible In their canvas
room.
They were prisoners ; soldiers in
tho service of Juarez, captured the
day before ; but their appearance
indloated that they were not Mexi
cans. Both men were of tall, command
ing forms, and of easy, graceful ad
dress; but where one bad dark blue
eyes, and light hair and mustache,
the other had eyes that were large
and black, with brown hair and mus
tache. Both men were exceedingly hand
some, and upon their faces bore the
Impress of noble souls and hearts that
'knew no fear.
A love of adventure had caused
them to leave their homes in the
t north, after the close of the civil war,
In which both had fought bravely,
and cast their swords with Juarez, to
aid in driving from Mexican soil a
German Emperor.
Capoul Monteith, the blond officer,
was a young man of wealth and good
family, a New Yorker, and a pet in
society.
Garnet Weston, the brunette, was a
poor man, a young lawyer In New
, York, of good though poor parentage.
. He was possessed of superior iutelll-
o gence, and was fast winning a name,
-when he crossed the path of Mabel
Monteith, the sister of Capoul, and a
beauty and an heiress.
So deeply did Garnet love Mabel,
that he was miserable when not in
her presence, and he believed she car
ed for him; but his pride was great,
and he would not offer a pauper hand
,to a belle and so struggled hard to
win fortune and fame in his profes
sion. One day, an evil day for Garnet, a
pretended friend told him that Mabel
was hia promised wife, but that their
engagement had not yet been made
public
Like one in a dream Garnet Weston
lletened, and in despair determined to
seek Borne more stirring field, where
the image of his lost love not would be
ever before him.
A month later, found him a cavalry
Captalnjin the army of Benito Jaurez
where, a few weeks later, he was sur
prised to be joined by Capoul Mon
teith, who had also offered his servic
es to the Mexican President.
In an engagement, two days before
they are presented to the reader in
their tent, they had been oaptured,
end carried Into the lines of. Maxim
ilian. That night In oamp they were play
ing a game of oheckers, pour passer
le temps, and Capoul who was an ex
pert player, was surprised to see how
readily he was beaten by Garnet.
Suddenly a heavy tread resounded
without, the Bentinel challenged,
there wa3 a response, and the next
Instant three of Maximilian's officers
entered the tent, one of whom was
an American, a Republican fighting
for Imperial Mexico, against the Re
public; another was a flashy-looking
. Prenohman ; the third was a Mexi-
can Colonel.
Gentlemen, lam sorry to disturb
you ; but news has come to-night that
Benito Juarez has executed a Captain
of our army, and I have orders to se
leot one of you, and maroh you forth
to die in retaliation ; and the Ameri
can Imperialist looked sad over the
duty he had to perform.
'You cannot mean that one of ub
must die for an offense against Maxi
milian by Juarez,' said Capoul Mon
teith, rising.
'Even bo are my orders, sir: but I
know not whloh toseleot.for my duty
Is most painful.'
Let the gentleman play a game for
the choice the loser to die;' suggest
ed the young Frenchman.
A good idea, monsieur. Gentle
men, I observe you Jwrro playing a
game of oheokers when we entered,
bo eet to work and play three games ;
the one who wins two of them escapes
me oiner to die.'
When is this exoutlon to be?' ask
ed Garnet Weston.
Within the hour, sir.'
'Very well ; Capoul, I am ready for
be game of life and death.'
Capoul Monteith paced to and fro
the tent with quiok, nervous Btrides;
he was young, handsomo, possessed
of vast wealth, and fond of life, aud
he cared noi to bethusshotdown like
a dog; but he was a bravo man, and
thought of Garnet Weston, whom ho
had always admired, and half-wishd
to be the loser rather than to see his
friend die.
I am ready,' he at length said ; and
the two friends, strangers in astrange
land, eat down to play the game for
life or death.
Capoul Monteith played with the
Utmost Caution, for 'If on mnBf Aa t
have as good a right to struggle for
life as has Garnet,' he thought.
Garnet Weston played with Indiff
erenoe, a quiet, 8ad smile upon hi3
face; and around them stood the
three officers, and the platoon that
were to be the executioners of the los
ing one.
Ten minutes passed. twnHr ,
the game was won by Capoul Mon
teith, whose face flushed crimson, and
ond game was won by Capoul Mon
teith. My God ! Garnet, old fellow, I feel
for yon from my heart,' cried the
winner, the tears starting to hia eyes.
Garnet pressed his friend's hand,
tho same smile upon his face, as he
said, quietly:
'I was ever a poor, unluoky dog,
Capoul ; but, my friend, when I am
dead, look in niy saddle-roll, hang
ing there, and the papers you find
please deliver to the proper address,
and and Capoul, say to to Miss
Mable, I left a farewell for her.'
'Gentlemen, I am ready.'
'Curses on yourlmperlal inhuman
ity ! Will you slay a manias though
he were a hound?" cried Capoul,
angrily turning toward tho officers,
for it cut him to the heart to thus
part with his friend.
'I yield to the fortunes of war, Cap
oul, and these gentlemen but do their
duty.'
'Come, let it be over,' replied Gar
net, and shaking the band of his
friend warmly, ho was marched away.
Half distracted with grief, Capoul
Monteith paced hit) tent, his thoughts
whirling, and his brain on fire, as he
gazed at the stool where a short while
before poor Garnet had sat.
An hour passed, and the American
officer of the Imperial army stood be
fore him.
Well ?' said Capoul, hardly daring
to ask the question.
lHe is dead.1
'God have mercy upon him !' groan
ed the sorrowing friend.
'Yes Captain Monteith, he Is dead ;
and though I have seen many men
die, I never saw one face death with
such perfeot calm Indifference, as did
your friend.'
'He gave the order to the platoon to
fire, and fell instantly; but, ere he
died, he wrote this note to you,' and
the American Imperialist handed a
slip of paper to Capoul, and turning
left the tent.
In Garnet's bold hand, was writ
ten: 'Capoul I gave my life away to
save you, for I loved Mabel too dear
ly ever to let her brother die, where I
could be sacrificed instead.
I dare tell you this now. fori stand
on the brink of my open grave. Far-
wen, Garxet.
A bitter night of sorrow passed Cap
oul Monteith In that lonely tent, for
well he knew his friend had spoken
the truth; and when, months after
the star of Maximilian's crown had
set in gloom, and he resigned from
the army of the successful Juarez, he
wended his way homeward with a
sad heart, for he could not forget that
Mexican soil covered the noble man
who had fallen a sacrifice to save his
life.
The Master of the Nebraska State
Grange.
The "onpleasantness" between
Cburoh Howe and Bice Eaton, is
styled by the Omaha Republican as a
pot-and-kettle duel of words between
a dog and coyote. It will be remem
bered that Eaton, the editor of the
Kearney Press, charges Howe, the
Independent, the granger who parts
his hair in the middle, with accept
ing money as a bribe from Mat Patrick
to vote for him, he, Patrick, being an
aspirant for the Senate at the last ses
sion of our Legislature. The simple
assertion from Howe that he did not
accept money is not sufficient with
people who know him. Of any man
who parts bis hair in the middle we
are suspicious, and have but little
faith in his principle as a politician,
granger, or as a man. unurcn Howe
is at present the chief officer of the
Grangers in this State, and the mo
tive for crowding himself in this po
sition is very apparent. If it will be
any information to Church, we can
tell him that no straddle-of-the-fence,
milk-and-water, dough-faced puppet
can ever gain a prominent position in
Nebraska, and that it will be a diffi
cult matter for him to convince the
people of anything. If the Grangers
of Nebraska cannot find any better
man as their chief officer, we have
lost all our former respect for that or
ganization. Wo do not believe that
the Grangers are altogether to blame
as it is known that Church crowded
himself upon them yet it Is well
enough for them to be warned of
whom they have selected. We shall
believe him guilty of accepting the
bribe from Patrick, as oharged by the
Kearney Press, until he is proved in
nocent. If the Press has circulated a
libel, there is a remedy In law and
the excuse that it would be "suing a
beggar and catching a louse, ' Is very
much "too thinv" Columbus Republican.

Three years passed away after the
game for life or death, and one pleas
ant evening, toward tho sunset hour,
a horseman was riding slowly along a
highway, traversing a fertile valley of
a Southwestern State.
Three years had added more dignity
to the face, and perhaps saddened It :
but otherwise no change had ever
come over Capoul Monteith'B fine fea
tures. Upon his right sitting baok from
the road, was a pretty little farm
house, surrounded by fertile fields,
and as the sight promised, well for
a night's loding 'for man and beast,'
Capoul turned in at the white gate
way, and rode up to the front door,
and dismounted.
The owner of the mansion decend-
ed the steps to greet him, and Capoul
Moteith stood face to face with Gcr
net Weston !
'My God ! has the grave given up
its dead?' cried Capoul, in dismays
'No, old fellow, you find me fieBh
and blood, ready and willing to give
you a hearty welcome to this, my
home, left me by an old bachelor un
cle, a few months 6lnce. But come
in ; I will tell you all.'
The surprised and delighted Capoul
willingly accepted, and around a well
spread tea table that evening he heard
how Garnet had been carried forth to
be most bunglingly executed; but a
squadron of Juarez's oavalry had ap
peared and frightened off his execu
tioners, ere the first platoon had re
tired, and that a watchful ranohero
c- Oi...ou iui iuu ourue mm to His
Cuttings of many plants can be rea
dily started in water: and In the ear
ly spring, if you have not a green
house or hot-bed, it is the safest plan.
Fill small bottles or phials with
warmish water, remove the lower
leaves of the cuttings (be sure to have
a bud at the base) and put them in
wate; hang up the phial to the window-sash,
tying a string about the
mouth for this purpose. If cotton J
wool is put around the mouth of the
phial, it will prevent the evaporation
of the water, and make the roots
sprout more quickly by keeping up a
more even temperature. Oleanders
can be rooted in this manner; also
heliotropes, verbenas, roses, fuohsias,
and all kinds of bedding-out plants.
The process is so simple thata mere
child can succeed with It. As aoon
as the roots are an iuoh long, the cut
ting should be transplanted, taking
care to spread out the tiny rootlets as
they grow in thelwater.
Some fill up the bottle with rich
earth, let it dry off for two or three
days and then break the glass, and
pot or plant out the the cuttings with
out disturbing Its roots in the least de
gree. This is the most certain way of
obtaining plants from cuttings. Dai

THE NEBRASKA AD VERTISEE
has now entered upon its
Twentieth Year,
and is the
OLDEST PAPER IN NEBRASKA!
That never suspended or changed its name. Age has
not caused its depreciation, nor its adherence to explod
ed fogyisms, but otherwise j and to-day it stands on a
sure foundation, in the
Advance Guard of the Great Army of
A'rogressloii,
Strong from the nourishment of long years of good
principles, consistent with the American idea of
LIBERTY AND HUMAN BIGHTS.
When the question was presented between Treason an
Loyalty, Union and Disunion, the Stars and Stripes ana
the Stars and Bars, The Advertiser unflinchingly
and uncompromisingly espoused the cause of Union
and an undivided country, and as a consistent
REPUBLICAN JOURNAL,
It has ever insisted, and does still insist, that this great
country should be ruled by the party that saved it from
destruction. In the political campaign of this year,
and the National one to be in 1876, The Advertiser
will give no uncertain sound. Its editors will be found
shooting efficient editorials in the same direction, and
at the same foe, that they shot leaden bullets, for the
mission of the Republican party is not yet accom
plished, the occasion for political effort has not yet
passed, American progress has not yet ended. Other
labors, to save what has been gained, lie before the
loyal people. The Advertiser most heartily cher
ishes the sentiments so pointedly enunciated in the first
plank ot the Kcpublican platform of Ohio "That
the States are one as a Nation, and all citizens are equal
under the laws, and entitled to the fullest protection,"
and believes that the safety of the Nation lies In the
full recognition of this doctrine. From the attitude or
the opposition, the duty of every Republican is obvi-
oi's.

be in the future a better family paper than it had ever
been before ; that we filled our columns not with old
"dead" advertisements, but with choice readme- nre.
pared with care for a variety to suit the general reader.
Our readers will concede that we have lived up to this
promise. We have for the last year carried more
reading matter than any other weekly in the State,
