St. Petersburg has a newspaper, the
Vedomoste, which has been published
150 years.
The Republicans of New Hamp
shire re-elected Gov. Preacott by 1,800
majority.
On Ihe 2!st ltist.- Rhode Island Re

Austria refuses to form al lance with
England, and is believed to have a
secret understanding with Russia.
A Washington newspaper man has
learned that the President has con
cluded fo appoint no' more Democratr
to office.
Gen. Grant was at Rome on the 25th
and the American minister Geo. P.
Marsh gave him a grand banquet and
reception.
Senator Howe, of Wisconsin, on
Schurz Is the best thing we have read
for many a day. Will publish his
speech in next paper.
A New York reformer wants the
names of al! drunkards published in

this idea is, the papers are not big
enough.
U. S. officials last week captured an
illicit whisky still in Saunders coun
ty. Neb. An old German and his two
sons were also taken in. The name is

In the great international walking
match just finished in London, O'Lea
ry, of Chicago, was the winner, and
is champion of The world. Hurrah

The bill in the Massachusetts legis
lature, granting tax-paying women
the right to vote at municipal elec
tions, has been defeated in the house.
And fhia Is a disgrace to' Massachus
etts. George Francis Train was lecturing
In Chicago last week. He prophesies
that there will be financial wreck and
ruin in this country within a few
months, suoh as was never before ex
perienced, and that then commun
ism will prevail.
Appointments of directors of the
Union Pacific railroad are announced
as follows :
Charles F. Adams, Jr., Massachus
etts; Ralph P. Buckland, Ohio; G.
W. Smy the, Iowa; Daniel Chadwlck,
Connecticut, and C. C. Hoyscl, Ne
braska. Tio Republicans off New Hamp
shire, notwithstanding the dispirit
ing influences of the Republican Pres
ident, succeeded in gaining a respeta
ble victory. So, Republicans every
where, should regard the party as
vastly more than the President, and
in spite of his distracting policies vote
the ticket straight.
33ayard Taylor, Minister to Berlin,
had a grand reception given him in
New York, on the evening of the 20th
Inst. All the notables of New York
present among them were Tilden,
Conkling, Wm. C. Bryant, Dix,
Frothingham,etc. The people of this
Qountry, of all parties can feel a pride
in their Germany minister.
The Grand jury at New Orleans has
found that Judge Whittaker is not,
was not, a defaulter to the United
States in the sum of a half-million
dollars, or any other sum. Ah, that
must settle the question, the asseverva
tlon of Secretary Sherman and oth
er cabinet members to the contrary
notwithstanding. The finding of a
New Orleans grand jusy of course
ought to settle anything.
The pre-belllum claims of thesouth,
which, without doubt have been kept
by that deluded people for use when
they had got oontrol ot the nation, and
the annunal interest computed with
care were brought upon Congress by
.Regan, former P. M. General of the
Southern Confederacy; whereupon
Willis of Michigan, took occasion to
unearth records which set down 6uch
bills In a satisfactory way. Beatrice
Courier.
It makes our heart thumpand thrill
with patrlotlo pleasure to know that
those bills which no doubt had been
etandmg up were compelled to "set
down" but what in the devil is pre
belllum, anyhow?
The Pawnee Republican has dis
covered that Senator Paddock has
given satisfaction to the people of Ne
braska. Does the Republican mean
to say that the people of Nebraska,
generally endorse his little crooked
ness ou the silver bill ? Lincoln
World.
The Republican is correct. Senator
Paddock represents his constituents
ably and acceptably. So far as hla
vote In opposition to the Matthews
resolution was concerned it amounts
to nothing because the iesolutlou
amounted to nothing, and weather it
failed or prevailed did not in the least
effect the people of Nebraska. On
the question that the people did care
about, Senator Paddock was with
them. If the people viewed a mole
hill through the "specs" of the World,
it might look like a mountain, but
they don't.
One of the fatal errors of youth to
day is, the fancy that a little of many
studies is better than much of a few.
Our common schools and state .Un
iversities ar9 Ih special danger from
this-error. When endeavoring to
meet It and get rid of it, the managers
of these institutions are strenuously
opposed by the great number of per-
sons whoso opinions have not come
from adequate information. On this,
there are words of Sumner: Let a
boy acquire one thing well, and he
gets a standard of excellence to which
he will endeavor to bring up his bther
knowledge ; and moreover, be will be
aware nf his deficiencies by observing
the difference between what he knows
well and whathe knows Indifferent
ly. Lit. and Ed. Notes.
The blame for such apparent "ran
cy'' is, in most cases, with the teach
ers, who impose several branohes of
study on pupils at the prftrie time,
change them from one study to anoth
er before they nre thorough in any,
rush them through their courses, and
through the grades, graduate them
and send them out with "finished"
educations, when really they are not
thorough in anything, and have on
ly a smatterl jg of rauny just about
enough to make fools of them. Lit.
and Ed. Is full of practicable Ideas,
and the above hint to the "youth of
to-day" Is good and timely; but the
idea of the third sentence, if we get
the meaning, that when educators en
deavor to fret rid of the error con
demned, parents strenuously oppose,
. . ... ITT- .1 1-4
we tnioK is a misiaEe. e uuuui
not that a great majority of parents
would prefer to have their sons and
daughters thorough, first in the most
useful branches of an education, and
thorough in everything as far as they
go. The error to be corrected is the
ambition of teachers to turn out as
many grists aa they can possibly crowd
through their burdened hop-rs, caring
more for the applause of those with
out "adequate information" than
whether tfrework is coarse or finely
done.
There are hundreds of advertising
agencies and individual humbugs who
are ever trying to use the press. As is
generally the case they have little
ready money to put into their busi
ness ; they therefore resort to every
dodge known in the trade. An ordi
nary office receives a bushel of these
circulars weekly. For instance a firm
in New York want to disposo of some
fine paint, they send to the press about
the following circular: "If you will
insert our 'ad' for a certain time to the
amount of $5, we will send you a due
bill for the amount which will be tak
en in part payment for $10 worth of
our excellent paints which will be
forwarded to you on receipt of due
bill nnd $5 in cash." In this way
thej' get their "ad" free. Organs, pi
anos, soap, ink, woruout printing
presses, jobstock, tj'pe, and every
thing in every brnnoh of trade are
disposed of to the fraternity on the
same terms, viz: by paying the full
value in cash. If nnyother business
was "pestered" with these "critters"
aB printers are, they would be harden
ed beyond redemption. Beatrice
Courier.
Notwithstanding all this, Alec, in
another item in the same column in
which the above appears, says he don't
believe in capital punishment. We
would like to know how such nuisan
ces are going to be got rid of without
adequate punishment.
On the24th inst. ofTDunroPe, Eng
gland, a squall struck the British ship
Eurydice capsizing and sinking her.
Out of 300 persons on board only two
is known to iiava survived. One of
the aaved named Benj. Cuddeford,
makes the following statement:.
The Bhip capsized in a squall and
snow storm about 4 in the afternoon
when five miles from iEunose. There
were over three hundred persons on
board, all of whom except myself and
Fetcher were, I believe, lost. I was
one of the last on the ship. Captain
Hare was near mo when she went
down after capsizing, and she
carried with her a large number of
men clinging to her or weie drawn
down in the vortex. A man near me
said a vessel was close by when the
squall come on, and therefore we will
be sure to be picked dp. I was more
than an hour in the water. Being a
first rate swimmer many af my com
rades cried to me for help. I tried to
assist two or three, but at last there
was four clinging to me. and I was
obliged to kick them off. Our ship
left Bermunda three weeks ago. We
passed the "Lizard" in the most
southern part of Great Britain yester
day, and expected to anchor at Spit
head about 5 in the afternoon.
The Lincoln correspondent, "Rich
fird" of the Brownville Advertiser
in the recent issue of that journal de
votes much space to the Republican's
recent remarks about Denomination
alism in the university. He seems to
want the press of the State to keep
quiet In regard to the matter and let
bad enough alone. Omaha Repub
lican. "Richard," we are satisfied thinks
he is right; the principle and spirit
of the Rejiublican's articles we know
are such as ought to prevail. We
gather from these discussions an oc
casional beam of light, and they
therefore do no barm at least. If
things in the University are all right
such discussions will tend to keep
them in that way. If there Is any
thing wrong it will tend to correct
the error. It doesn't hurt a Univer
sity or, any otherinstitution, to know
that it is watched by a wide awake
press.
We see by the Kearney Qazetlc that
Henry Wilkins, regular correspon
dent of the Kearney Press, is talked
of for the position of Uuited States
marshal for this State. We doubt the
assertion, from the faot that all who
know Mr. WilkinB are surely aware
that a man more unfitted for the po
sition can hardly be found In Nebras
ka. Perhaps all true, every word of It",
and yet perhaps Rutherford B. Hayes,
president of the United States, may
differ In opinion with B. F. Krier,
present (temporary) editor and pro
prietor of the Dawson county Pioneer
Plum Creek, Nebraska. Kearney
Press.
The Pioneer Is certainly correct un
less Wilkins has become transmogri
fied Into a sober decent man, by a
red ribon or something, since he was
down this way a short time ago.
Minnie Walton, a notorious thief,
was arrested at Boston recently. Her
plan has been to hire, as a common
serving woman, to people of wealth,
and then rob them. She robbed the
Palmer House, at Chicago, of $12,000
In diamonds, jewelry, etc, and since
then robbed the residence of Dudley
S. Gregory, in New York, of about
$3,500 worth of property, and the res
idence of Mr. Wright, on Fourth ave
nue, JMew lorK, or aooutw'.cuu worth
of diamonds and jewelry.
the District
The March term of
Court for this county
Monday Both Inst. A
the District
adjourned on
great deal of
business was disposed of,
and the
We make
docket pretty well cleared
a synopsis of several cases of interest
to our readers.
In the case of Wine-land against
Cochran et al., the case was dismissed
at plaintiff's cost. Motion for a new
trial over-ruled plain tiff excepts.
Hawk of Nebraska City against
Thomas Higgins. Mitchell for Hawk,
Broady for Higgins. Court found is
sues in favor of defendant. Motion
for new trial overruled, to which
plaintiff" excepts.
Umensetter against Umensetter.
Suit for divorce. Suit dismissed at
her costs.
Frances H. Karn against Isaiah
Karn. Broady for plaintiff" and Rog
ers for defendant. Suit for divorce.
This was a deplorable suit, between a
young husband and wife, with two
pretty children one and threo years
old. The parties had not been sepa
rated a sufficient length of time to
maintain a plea of abandonment, but
that of extreme cruelty of the hus
band was found to be sufficient. The
principal cruelty consisted in the hus
band, when he left, tearing the little
girl from her mother, and hiding her
so that for four or five months the
mother did not know where her dar
ling was, nor what had become of her.
The Judge held that the mental an
guish of a mother under such circum
stances was extreme cruelty sufficient
to justify the granting of a divorce,
and we think the decision humane
and just. The judgmeutof the court
was that the divorce bo granted as
prayed for that the mother have the
custody of the children, that the fa
ther pay for their maintenance alll
mony as follows : Fifty dollars to be
paid within thirty da3Ts from the date
of the judgment, $50 more within
sixty days, and $100 each and every
year during the minority of the chil
dren, to be paid September first.
When the decision of the Judge had
been given, a slight demonstration,
such as hand shaking and pleasant
smiles were indulged in by the friends
of the lady.
The State, upon tho relation of
Mary E. Rees against Wm. Drain.
Suit for bastardy. The defeudent ap
peared and entered the plea of guilty,
and confessed tio accusation of the
complaint to be true. Therefore it
was decreed by the court that Drain
be charged with the maintenance of
the child, and pay to Mary $G5 each
and every year during the minority
of tho child ; $30 to bo paid on tho 1st
of May and $35 on the 1st' of October
of each year; and that Drain enter
into good and sufficient bonds to the
commissioners of Nemaha in the sum
of $1,200 with such sufficient security
as may be approved by the clerk of
the oourt, for the faithful performance
of the order of the court.
Miss Mary Frisby against Samuel
Gilliland. Suit for bastexdj. Thom
as for plaintiff, Rogers for defendant.
This ease was tried Saturday, and tho
jury being out until midnight, could
not agree and were discharged with
out arriving at a verdict. It seemed
to us that it ought to have been de
cided in ten minutes in favor of the
defendant. Mary's testimony, though
positive as to the paternity of the
child, was improbable, unreasonable,
illogical and entirely "too thin."
Mary Grant against Wentel Grant.
Suit for divorce. Cause, abandon
ment. Decree granted as prayed for
in petition.
Horace Bagley against Luoretia P.
Bagley. Suit for divorce. Cause,
abandonment. Decree granted as
prayed for in petition.
State against Wm. Stevens. Prose
cution for selling intoxicating liquor
to a minor. Suit on appeal from Co.
court. Suit dismissed each party
paying half of the costs.
State against Gotlieb Mahle. Pros
ecution for living In open adultery
with Mary Frisby. Jury found the
defendant not guilty.
State against Elizabeth Allen and
her son Frank. On indictment for
administering poison to her husband,
Clark Allen, deceased. Case contin
ued. Why this case is continued so
often we cannot say, but hope to be
able to say, sometime.
In the case of Cheney vs. Eberhardt
the defendantset up the plea of usury.
The facts proved were that Cheny as
agent for the lender of money, having
the money in his hands to loan, ex
acted usurious rates of interest and
large commissions taking a separate
note and mortgage to himself to se
cure the excessive interest and charg
es. This note and mortgage were held
void. The court followed the decis
ion of the Supreme Court in Cheney
vs. Woodruff", reported in G Neb. 151.
In the cases Zingler vs. Helmer and
Gutzmer defendants claimed titles to
the real estate in question through a
tax deed taken by their grantor. The
plaintifTobjected to the tax title on
the ground: 1, that the oath of tho as
sessor was not attached to his return
of-the real estate assessed, although it
wag attached to the return of personal
property ; 2, that the party buying
the lands at tax sale was agent of the
owner to pay taxes with funds pro
vided ; 3, that the Treasurer made no
return to the County Clerk of the
public land Bale upon which his juris
diction to pell at private sale depend
ed. The court found for the plaintiff"
holding the tax title bad.
A great depression is reported in
the whisky markets east. An associ
ated press dispatch says of New York
city:
Visits to large importing liquor
dealers aud to ttie whisky dealers, on
the Produce Exchange, reveals the
fact that a very serious depression ex
ists in the trade, which several of
them attribute to the spread of the
temperance movement and difficulty
existing in this city in obtaining li
censes. Real estate dealers assert that
a very large number of liquor saloons
are for rent this season, as the propri
etors, owing to tho dullness in busi
ness, are unable to meet their expens
es. If business does not improve it

The Clarinda Branch
We learn from reliable sources that

the purpose of surveying tho route of
the ClaritMia branch of the C., B. & Q.
road from Clnrinda, Iowa, through
Atchison county to o point on the
