Recently, in Fulton county, Ind.,
two young men went to a relgious
meeting, in a country school house,
to cause a disturbance. During the
meeting a thunder storm came up,
lightning struck the house killingone
of the bad young men and badly in
juring the other. This was called a
miraculous warning.

occurrence, at Hooker, Gage county,
Nebraska, while the Rev. Truman A.
Hull was at a school house conduct

This also must have been a miracu
lous warning, in the opinion of sensi
ble people, if the first case was. But
we think that natural causes produc
ed both results, and that the Lord did
not by a special interposition of his
power punish either the young men
who went to meeting to break it up
or the preacher who went to build up
his church.

Beatrice Express: The Pawnee
Agency lands in Nebraska are adver

to the highest bidder. The appraise
ment ranges from $1.25 to $0 00 per
acre and as nothing is said in the no
tice of sale about their being sold to
actual settlers, it looks very much as
though the irrepressible land specula
tors would gobble up the reservation
lands to a great extent. The terms of
sale are the same as tiie Otoe lands in
this county one-third cash, one-third
in one year and the balance in two
years, with six per cent, interest.

the postage paid on the Chicago
Weekly Inter Ocean was $8,944.14;

Ocean the amount of postage was $3,

idea of the relative circulation of these
principal Chicago papers.

Correspondence Nebraska Advertiser.
As the public is generally aware, a
strong effort is being made to prevent
the execution of Clough, who has
been convicted and sentenced to be
hung for the murder of his brother at
Seward, in this State, about a year
since. It was then believed by many,
and is yet, that one Jack Trent, who
died recently in the Nebraska Peni
tentiary, was the murderer of Clough.
Papers have been presented Governor
Garber, purporting to be a confession
of Trent, made to a fellow prisoner,
that he murdered Clough. Of course
all such representations made now,
under existing circumstances, should
be received with great allowance.
There is, however, some corroborating
evidence in the matter of Trent's con
fession. At the same time, or rather
to the same individual to whom Trent
is said to have confessed the Clough
murder, he confessed to the murder of
another man in Illinois. It is found
that the representation in relation to
the Illinois murder is correct, sub
stantially. It is not known whataction, if any,
the Governor will yet take. He will
investigate thoroughly before making
up his mind.
The rush of Immigration to Ne
braska continues unprecedented, and
on the Increase. Much of this rush
is attributable to the efforts made by
Mr. Lougalin, Land 'Commissioner
for the B. & M. railroad company.
The class of immigration is very ac
ceptable. Most of it is from the older
States, and composed of men of
means, who came to develope and
build up.
A new artificial Stone enterprise is
attracting attention. Intelligent men

in anything he takes hold of.
I note the Omaha Republican takes
exceptions to my paragraph referring
to State University bickerings. This
is the Editor's right. But I confess
to surprise at the unfair and garbled
extract that paper makes from my ar
ticle. You have done the justice to
publish the Republican1 3 article in
full, and your readers will eustaiu me
in the claim of unfairness and garbling.
While I am not disposed to engage
in any controversy over this Univer
sity matter, I insist that outside a
very few who entertain religious
oplnionssimiiar to those of the editor
of the Republican, there are no com
plaints, or fears of sectarianism in
in our State University. And furth
er, that my statement in relation to
the distribution of chairs in the Uni
versity, is essentially correct. I have
taken pains to learn of the religious
affiliations and tendencies of all the
Professors, and find the facts as fol
lows :
There are fifteen members of the
Faculty. Of these, two are Cougre
gationalists, three Presbyterian, three
Baptists, two Episcopalians, one Lu
thern, and four Liberals or what is
generally understood as"Broad Gaug
ers." The Regents, six in number,
were last year as to religious tending:
three Liberals, one Universaiist, one
Methodist and on Congregationalism
One of the last elected is a Methodist,
and takes tho place of a Liberal. This
is the correct status of religious affili
ations and tendencies in the Universi
ty, Regents and Faculty. I further
repeat, the only lines attempted to be
drawn, as to religious opinions in con
nection with the University, has been
by those known as Liberals, who
have openly, and on every possible
occasion, declared they intend to con
trol. If the people of this State are In
clined to innstitute religious tests in
the matter of members of the Board
and Faculty, and to have all Liberals,
or all of any one religious sect, very
well. It is their right. Butyour cor
respondent is of the opinion that
when they understand "the whys aud
wherefores' of stirring up such strife,
they will put a quietus on the move
ment in a manner that will quite aB
tonish the editor of the Republican,
and others who aot aud believe with'
him in creating "jarring and discord

A Vienna correspondent says Rus

England demands that the congress

Neither power seems disposed to give

Servia has formerly claimed admis

congress with the consent of France,
and within the limits she prescribes.
The Times says the latest phase of
difference between Russia and Eng

Both exceptions were dismissed, the

second, that prosecution by informa
