' So far as sny explanation is con

tLls people-, at this stage of the game,

and slanders of disreputable newspa
pers ere not necessarily ruinous. His
zealous and timely services rendered
"Nebraska, and the Indorsement of his
record by every honest man and
newspaper in the land, did not lure
him to. defeat. It was the atrocious
slanders of suoh newspapers as the
Glebe and Bee, the deceptions prac

of rings, that did that. Mr. Paddock
is making a good Senator, doing all
that is possible.in the interest of his

Nebraska City citizens, the Press
says, will see the day when they will
regret not having voted for the Hor
baoh proposition to complete a trunk
road from Omaha to Nebraska City
along the Missouri. Omaha Repub
lican. But for the "far-sightedness" of the
knowiug ones at Nebraska City, the
. trunk Road along the Missouri river,
would have been completed and run
ning long before the "Horbaoh pro
position." But then, Nebraska City
"was going to build the Midland Paoi
fic from that oity to Lincoln, and
make Linooln a feeder to Nebraska
City ! When the road was completed
the "feeder" ran the other way, and
Nebraska City became a "feeder" to
Linooln! Then it was that sensible
men saw the mistake made. And
then too, was when pure "cussednees"
superseded original "far-sightedness"-and
would not submit to be made
"a water Btation on the Trunk Road!"
No, Nebraska City rather be "the
Eastern terminus of the Midland Pa
cific!" Well, "how does she like it
as far as she has gone?" Will some
one of the many vacant business
houses on lower Main street in Ne
braska City, "rlBe and explain?"

Result of Gold Manipulating.
The specie resumption aot has done
&iknt all the mischief to the oountry
It can, and therefore Its repeal Is of no
consequence. Let the money grab
bers go on with their exhibition un
til January 1879. It. is well enough
however, for the people to know faots
and see how absurd are the theories of
modern statesmen. The public debt,
as officially shown by the U. S.
Treasury on the last day of Novem
ber last, was $2,198,529,911. The an
nual interest on same, $31,644,767.
Amount In Treasury, $188,647,612,
from whioh should be deducted how
ever, $4500,000, due military estab
lishments, for which appropriations
have not been made. The report of
the Direetor of the U. S. mint, shows
the total oolnage for the last flsoar
year, $79,811,832.69, whioh is an in
crease over any previous-year of SlSj
822,769.00. Of the total sum-named,
$60,882,502.76 is the gold maximum,
which Sherman flaya Is the only eoin
"honett money"-tbe Government
can pay its debts in. Tha total annu

767 annual interest in public-debt, and
we have $270,304,775, an annual defi
ciency or excess of expenditures over
receipts, of $1,304,179. How long, we
ask, will it take John Sherman to re
sume Bpecfeffold payment and pay
off the national debt in gold! Let
any ordinary business man present
such a showing', and the court would
arbitrarily appoint a receiver sVt once.
And yet such are the results of mod

litical giants' statesmen !
It is probable that Governor Pack
ard will be appointed Collector of
New Orleans.- A petition requesting
the President to make the appoint

history, at any rate.
A special to the Inter Ocean says : .
"As far as Mr. Conkling Is concern

All for Joseph.
A Bismarck correspondent of the
St. Louis Globe Democrat writes a
lengthy and interesting, and defen
sive letter descriptive of the Nez
Perces. "As a tribe," says this writ
er, "the Nez Peroes are finer looking
than any other Indians, and in every
way seem superior to the Sioux. They
have fine intelligent faces, round
bright eyes, thin equiline noses, thin
lips and straight eyebrows. Tho wo
men possess sometimes great beauty,
with their star eyes, white teeth and
graceful figures. The patriarch ac
companying this advance guard was
George Washington, a tall, ereot old
fellow, with grizzled hair, and the
broad, benevolent expression of Rater
Ratric. He is one of their famous
medioinemen, and the welfare of his
people is his constant care. They are
all saddened, broken and discouraged
at their defeat.'1 Speaking of Chief
Joseph he says, "Joseph is oertalnly
the ideal Indian, a noble, friendly
chief, the most admirable of all the
nation's wards, and would still be
leaamg nis simple, peaceiui lire, an
honor to his tribe and a oredit to the
race, had it not been for rascally
whites, who pushed themselves into
a oountry that had belonged to the
Nez Perces for decades, and unable to
orush and oheat the Indians took to
high-handed abuse and cruelty. In
dians who would of their own will
cultivate the goII, plant fruit trees and
raise stock, are not the degraded sav
ages their tormentors would have us
believe." "Joseph
Is just the eharaoter to live in romance
and poetry. Osceola, Tecomseh and
Metamora- will new step back, for a
now star has arisen to eclipse therm
Young, valiant and noble-looking, he
has, besides, the taking air of a prince
In misfortune,and every one aoknowl-
edges his attraotfvenes'sv A settled
and silent melancholy weighs upon
him, and bis naturally bright and in
telligent features are held In stolid re
pose' Of Mrs. Joseph the correspondent
says: "Mrs. Joseph, sole squaw of
the hero, is a pretty little black-eyed
beauty, with flashing teeth, fine arms
and dainty feet. A smile and hand
shake was her greeting, and with na
tive grace she pointed to seats on the
great robes." While at Bismarck, some
ladies wanted to see Joseph, "and the
chief, in bis furs and beaded trappings,
was brought into the hotel parlor.
After hand-shaking and a few prelim
inaries, one young Bisraaroker ex
pressed a wish to kiss Joseph. The
Interpreter communicated the request
aud, with an imperturbable counten
ance, Joseph assented. The damsel
held up her face, and, with a grand
air that Rignold or Montague might
sigh for, savage and civilized lips met
with a mutual and simultaneous
smack. A valiant glance and an im
perceptible twinkle of the eye moved
his countenance as he looked aroundat
the envious warriors who accompan
ied him."
Eclipse of Venus.
Last Saturday evening we ail saw
the beautiful appearance of the plan
et Venus and the moon as the former
was about to pass behind the moon's
disk. The St. Josoph Herald, of Sat
urday morning, thus describes the
eolipse, as to be.
At about fifteen minutes to six
o'clook this evening, the planet Venus
will be occulted by the Moou. In oth
er words, the Moon will pass directly
between us aud the evening star.
The phenomenon will be one of great
interest, eveu to the world of naued
eye star-gazers; while through a tel
escope the sight will be very beauti
ful, should a cloudless sky permit the
ocoulation to be witnessed. A good
field-glass, oreven an opera glass, may
be used to advantage in watching the
disappearance of the planet, and her
reappearance from her novel hiding
place. Venus, being then only two and a
half days past the time of her greatest
eastern elongation, will be a very bril
liant object in the evening sky, as
she now is. The moon, being only
four days old at the time, will be only
about one-sixth part illuminated, pre
Bentiug to us a narrow creBceut of
light. She will not, therefore, be
bright enough to pale the light of Ve
nus, except during the time that she
is actually between us and the planet.
At the hour indicated above, the
moon being the 15.6 degrees above the
horizon, the position of Venus will be
on the upper left of the moon's dark
limb, whioh will then begin its pas
sage over the planet, which will be
hidden from view in less than one
minute of time. If, during the phe
nomena, tho dark part of the moon
should be faintly preceptible,we shall
then have a chance to see the old
"Dragon" of ancient stellar lore, lit
erally eating its way Into the Hesper
ian star, and swallow her up into ut
ter darkness.
The planet will continue hidden for
aboutone hour, when she will peep out
from behind the southern born of the
moon, occupying a little more than a
minute in emerging, the motion out
ward being very oblique. Her position
nt emersion will be 156 degrees from
the astronomically north point of the
moon'B limb; and 15$ degrees east
from the point of the limb which is
nearest to the horizon. At this time
the moon's altitude will be only 7i de
grees. Seen through an inverting tel
escope the planet will emerge from be
hind what appears to be the upper
horn of the moon, the rounded side
being turned toward the left.

ter a few words I put my left arm
around her and with the right hand
took the revolver from my pocket,
and putting the muzzle tor ber ear,
fired. She Bald, "Forgive me, Char
lie; send for a priest." I continued
to shoot her in the right cheek until
the seven barrels were emptied into
her head. Finding she was dead I
got up, sat on a chair, and put three
moro charges into the revolver, and
laying her arm, whioh rested on her
breast, to one side, I put the muzzle
as near Mary's heart as I knew, and
fired two shots aud with the third
load I shot her through the temple,
making ten shots in all." After the
above horrible recital Magill ordered
his supper, saying : "Don't Bend me
any cold lunch ; I want a good square
meal."

in some despondent views as to the
probabilities of the future, and says:
"These probabilities have all been

again and again as warnings against
an exeoutivo policy which alienates
party friends without conciliating
partisan opponents. Tha session'abont

The little severity he bad was produc

pot off of the stove, avoiding the danger of
burning the hands with tho steam in pour

Blmply Tabbing It through tho emery polish

off any rust that may adhere to the iron, en
abling you to Iron your shirt-bosoms and
most delicate fabrics with the greatest ease,
giving them a glossy finish equal to the
finest Laundry work. -It Isnlso an excellent
rest or stand for your irons, by placing them
across the top.
