The matron of the Soldiers' Orph

The faot that the law legally mur

says, regarding England's attitude
toward Russia :
There Is still great excitement over

The explanation given to the powers
that it was to protect Christians and
British interests, hasstrengtbened the
opinion that the Cabinet have deter
mined to interfere. A similar step
was taken last year on the same
grounds, but tho action of the peace
party, who pointed out that such a
course would enoourage the Turks,
onmpelled tho government to with
draw the squadron.
THKaKXKKAIj liELIKP IS THAT ESQ
I.AJCD CAXNQT ESCAPE A WAR,
now that Russia Is affronted by the
action of tho government, and it is
said that the Russian Government has
addressed a remonstrance against the
.studied suspicion of her motlveB by
England. The Olobc thinks the time
has arrived for action, and that the
movement of the fleet is a good begin

that this is only the beginning, and
that before long the publio mind will
be tranqullized by measures of a still

Nebraska Stale Horticultural Society
Summer Meeting.
STATE FAIR.
The United States Supreme Court,
In the case of the Burlington and
Missouri River Railroad in Iowa, has
decided that the law in that State
.regulating rates of fare is constitu
tional and valid. Aooording to the
Omaha Herald and Republican, all
tho railroads In Iowa will now get up
and get out of that State, and no new
roads will be built
They have a nasty church scandal
at Champaign, 111. One MoCartney,
a-member of the First M. E. church
and Superintendent of the Sundy
Sohool, and a Mrs. Taylor, a sister in
the .same ohurch are the parties. The
'illicit love of McCartney and Mrs.
"Taylor was first discovered recently
by letters found from the woman by
MoCartnpy'8 wife. It has caused a
reparation of husband -and wife In
.-each family and both have been
promptly expelled from the church.
There are murmurings now being
heard about the "Inefficiency of the
Grand Duke Nicholas." He may be
a military genius of great ability, and
it may bo that the Emperor and pub
lio sentimeut have been too impatient
-and eager to crush the Turks, causing
the Grand Duke to make too muoh
baste to risk battles, against bis bet
judgment. He may not underate the
strength of the Turkish army, but the
fretful inooneiderateEmperor certain
ly does. If reports of the last week or
two are half true, they have learned
'to "go slow" aud to realize that al
though the success of Russia is only a
question of time, it cannot be In a
short time.
After consultation with the friends
of Horticulture in various parts of the
State, it is deemed advisable not to
hold our uBual summer meeting this
season, but to make an extraordinary
effort to have a full exhibit at the
State Fair In Linooln, September 24,
25, 2G, 27 and 28, next. Let the friends,
therefore, bestir themselves to thle
end. Let there bo an exhibit from
every section of tho State, and thus
show the existing fact, that success
ful fruit growing Is not, as has been
supposed by some, confined to a few
trained growers, and special locali
ties ; that it is general that we are in
the great 'rult-belt of the country.
Unusual attention is being attracted
towards our State this season, from
the older States. It is already known
that man-, seeking to know more of
our region and its productions, will be
in attendance at our State Fair the
coming fall for that purpose. Quite a
number of pomologists of national
repute will be with us on that occa
sion. We have made for ourselves a
national reputation for fruit growing.
Let us sustain it at home. While In
quantity our fruit orop this season
may not be just what we would de
sire, in quality there Is now every
reason to hope for a splendid exhibit.
We would be pleased to know in ad
vance of the Fair, who will be exhib
itors, and about what space in the
hall will be desired. Advise the sec
retary, D. H. Wheeler, Plattsmouth.
The evenings during the Fair will
bo devoted to such horticultural dis
cussions as may present themselves
for consideration, at the parlors of the
Commercial Hotel in Lincoln.

In introducing the editorial making

"To-day we raise the greenback

intend to procure our own press and

We have a very friendly feeling for
the greenback movement to a limited

the prerogative of adjusting the mon

Bucharest, July 4. Nearly all of
the eighteen Turkish gunboats and
monitors on the Danube are destroyed,
captured, or helpless from torpedoes.
London, July 4. Muktar Pasha, in
a long series of dispatches to Constan
tinople, describes the Russians as ut
terly routed by his right column, and
flying to the south of Kars. The Rus
sian left wing is almost annihilated,
and the baggage and artillery de
stroyed or abandoned.
Constantinople, July 5. The gov
ernor of Erzeroum telegraphed July
3d : We have ocoupled Kerkes ; Rus
sians have abandoned Ulchkllina, 8
miles Bouth of Kara. They have also
evacuated the districts of Kars, Kilis
sa and Alashke. The porte has prom
ised Minister Layard that it will take
measures to assure the safety of Chris
tians. Beousa, June 5. Suleiman Pasha
is now marching from Podorgitze tow
ards the Danube with forty-five batta
lions. Auother army oorps hitherto
in Montenegro started for Epirug.
Constantinople 1b apparently un
moved by news of the passage of the
Danube. Since the 16th of June the
Russians have been defeatedflve times.
It is believed they lost 10,000 men on
June 30. Their wounded filled E800
wagons. Th.e garrison of Kars made a
sortie Sunday and reopened commun

the large Russian issues of paper cur
rency. It is stated that since the out
break of the war 16,000,000 rubles have
been remitted.
Erzeroum, July 5. A dispatoh says
it is unlikely, even if the Russians are
reinforced, that they can successfully
renew the Asian campaign this year.
Both armies remain inactive. The
Russians are evidently waiting for
reinforcements.
Bucharest, July 5. It is stated
ing some pieces of very, heavy ord
nance. Paris, July 5. At the termination
of the recent successful campaign
against Montenegro it was asserted
from Constantinople that the Turkish
government would be appointed and
the country reduced to the position of
a Turkish province. Also that Sulei
man and Saib Pashas were about to
march upon Cettauje without any
further fighting. To acoonnt for the
change In Turkish plana it Is now an
nounced that Mehemet All has been
appointed to command the army in
Thessoly and Suleiman Pasha recalled
to Constantinople, probably with his
army. These measures give point to
reportB reoently current that Austria
and probably other powers brought
pressure at Constantinople to eave
Montenegro from being orushed and
also with a view of taking awoy from
Servla one pretext for joining in hos
tilities against Turkey.
Constantinople, July 9. Ismail
Pasha telegraphs under date of Erze

ing tb reports the Russian retreat in
Asia is not attributable to the Caucas

Richmond Basin, Arizona,
June, 22d J877.
Dear Father:
This country promises to eclipse
any other mining country in the
world. All we laok is men, means
and machinery. All that is coming
in rapidly, however, and we shall
soon be better surrounded. True we
are quite away from Railroad facilities
for transportation, yet the ore is so
rioh that it wtll nays to wacon to
Yuma City, and from thence by rail
to San Francisco.
Tho Indians are giving us no trou
ble. Everything is exceedingly lively
here especially just now, over recent
very rich discoveries. Tho Richmond
mines are situated somewhat central
ly In the Territory In the county of
Marioopa. This particular discovery
noted for its extraordinary richness,
was made In the winter of 1876 by
Alvany L. Dicky, and tho Chilson
Brothers. Since that time many rioh
locations have been made. The Hon
est metal found here was by D. G.
Chilson, in what Is oalled the "Silver
Plate," and "Silver Nugget," and
what we call "Placer Silver Mines."
The metal is found in Nuggets, from
one to six feet from the surfaoe. I
have seen 'nuggets weighing from
one ounce up to thirty pounds. There
are also some very rich leads "Rich
mond," "Rifleman," "Blue Cap,"
"Hoods," and others I might men

famous "King Mlues" about thirty
miles distant.
Water and fuel are abundant, and
convenient. Riohmond Basin is
twelve miles distant from Glovo City
our post offloe. . Glovo City has two
quartz mills, two smelters aud a num

something farther from.us In another
dlreotion. Is a larger town about
two thousand inhabitants and is a
great business place. The soil in the
vioinity of Florence is very rioh and
well farmed. Phoenix 1b the oldest

At Brownville we failed to meetour
D. D.. brother Skeen, but, through
the kindness of Judge Church, we
were oonveyed to our destination,
four miles distant. It is somewhat
unpleasant to have to be dependent,
but still it has its bright side, for It
shows to us the accommodating spirit
and kind heart of those who are In
terested In the Temperance work.
Thursday evening accompanied by
brother Skeen, we visited Zion Lodge
No. 137, which we found in a flourish
ing oondition. This Lodge holds its
meetings in a comfortable brick school
house, and we do not think we were
ever in one that looked neater with
its olean floor and walls decorated with
green boughs. Brother Stephen Ken
nedy, the first Grand Chaplain of Neb.,
is W. C. T. of this Lodge and a most
excellent officer he makes. We had
some fine remarks by him, also heard
from brother Skeen, who can be num
bered among tbeeffiolentD. D'sof the
State, as the condition of his lodges
will indioate. We were taken to the
home of brother Kennedy where we
spent the night and nextday. In the
afternoon Mr. W. A. Polookand wife
of Brownville, cameout for us, and it
was with pleasure we aooepted their
kind invitation to make them a visit.
We had long heard of Mr. Polock as
an active temperance worker and was
glad of an opportunity to form hi3 ac
quaintance. He Is connected witn a
flourishing Sons of Temperance Lodge
in Brownville, which has and is do
ing a great amount of good, and we
hope it will continue to be prosper
ous and exert an influence for good In
the community. Mr. Polock Is an old
settler of Nemaha County, and, to
show the confidence the people of
Brownville entertain for him, he has
been their postmaster for eight consec
utive years. Truly a compliment to
one so worthy. At his homewespent
a day and night, whioh will be re
membered with pleasure, and tho
oompllraont thus paid us by a mem
ber of another Temperance organiza
tion will be appreciated. In the after
noon Brother Skeen again oalled for
us and that evening we visited
security lodge no. 13o.
There were members present from
Zion, London, Bedford and Nemaha
City Lodges, and the meeting was,
seemingly, muoh enjoyed by all. This
Lodge is doing well and we were grat
ified to note one thing, and that was
the excellent order preserved during
the ovening. This Is an important
feature to the success of our meetings,
and so fur I have heard but little com
plaint in our Lodges that good order
is not observed. J. M. Maddox Id W.
C. T. of this Lodge, and I found him
an intelligent, earnest, Temperance
worker. This Lodge can boast of
many suoh members and the prospect
for its continued prospprity is flatter
ing. There were speeches made by
the visiting, as well as the homo
members, and onr meeting closed a lit
tle later than I would advrfo our
Lodges toolose, but time seems to pass
so rapidly and pleasantly when Good
Templars get together that It Is not to
be wondered at If they are guilty
of not nlways keeping temperate
hours.
Monday evening found us at
NEMAHA CITY LODGE, NO. 109.
This is the banner Lodge of the
State, containing a larger membership
than any other Lodge. Here you will
find represented three generations,
and all working together in harmony,
and exerting a wonderful influence for
good. It is exceedingly gratifying to
visit a Lodge of this kind. The Good
Templars and Sons of Teniperanoe in
this county have wrought a material
change in tne last two years. Places
that were noted for drunkenness and
rowdyism have been transformed Into
quiet, peaceable villages and towns
and the vendors of poison have been
oompelied to go elsewhere to carry on
their nefarious traffic, or give It up for
more respectiable employment.
A. J. Skeen D. D., is untiring in his
efforts and muoh of the success of the
work here is traceable to bis labor.
He is highly esteemed In this district,
and deservedly so.
Judge Church, well known through
out the State as a strong Temperance
man, having been the prohibition
candidate for Governor several years
ago, is a member of this Lodge. If
we had more men to come out boldly
and fearlessly and take the decided
stand for Temperance that ho does
our oause would be more victorious.
Through his kindness we were con
veyed to Brownville, where we took
the morninar train for Linooln. We
regretted not having the time to visit
all the Lodges in this district, but
matters at home required attention, so
we had to leave a promise to soon pay
our respects to the Lodges we had to
pass by. V. P.
Washington, D. C, July 3. The
President said to Representative Crit
tenden, of Missouri, to-day, that ho
regarded the Southern question asset
tied, and did not concern himself
about the comments on the subject
that his policy might be of temporary
Injury to the Republican party, but
he did not desire to run the Adminis
tration in the interest of any party.
His desire was to build up the dor
mant manufacturing interests, and to
closely apply his attention to the
means of restoring the prosperity of
the country. He designated no par
ticular way, but said that his mission
as President was to carry peace and
prosperity to the remotest sections of
the land.

A few days since Mr. Jenkins show

woolen mill in Missouri, consisting of
jeans, oassimere, bianseting, ana sev
eral grades of yarn, all of which we
oonsider first class material. They
were sent to him by a gentleman In
Missouri who is connected with a
woolen mill but wishes to find a loca
tion further west. We believe that
he does not expect a bonus, but simp
ly wishes to secure water-power at a
reasonable rate, and In a seotlon con

doubt this is Fairbury's opportunity,
and if the matter Is attended to we
will have a mill here before another

artiole in the North American Review
on the Electoral Commission is an ef

would not, indeed, be favorable to the
reputation of a stump-speaker. It is

and argumentative review which
would havebeen becoming in the man
to write and in the Review to publish.
