THE ADVERTISER; THURSDAY, APRIL 18, 1878. State fair Sept. 23d to 27th. Iowh editors Ilriri ou aii excursion to Testis bn the 23d inst. The American Minister to Meifcb, has recognized the Diaz government. Wm. M. Tweed died tin the 13th inst. over. Poor old man his troubles are The Senate committee has agreed upon a bill prescribing rules for count ing electoral votes. New York. April 1G Gold O, that terrible 92 cent dollar! gee what it Is doiug. 100. Just The President has appointed a board of military officers to give Gen. Fita John Porter a rehearing. Nebraska City papers claim the beat oourt house in the State, it costing $50,000. It is the best we know of. Mrs. Catherine Keenan, of Brook lyn, N. Y., was bitten by a cat about a month ago, and died of Hydrophobia on the 12th Inst, Molntyre, President of the first na tional bank at Colorado Springe, has absconded. The bank, however, la reported to be solid. The Cbioago preacher whosaid hell was not half so full of men and wo men as men and women were full of hell, said a good thing. Some of the Eastern papers under stand it to be a fact that Theodore and Elizabeth have become reconciled and will soon be living together. The Holly Maguire business is not good in Pennsylvania, eight more were arrested and jailed last week on charges of murder and arson. Several Chicago and Cincinnati Na tional banks have begun this week to redeem all their notes in gold, present ed for redemption at their counters. The Teoumseh Chief 'tain says its first choice for Seoretary of State isE. Rosewater. That will hurt Rose water worse thail Curry's slung shot did. Gov. Van Zandc, of Rhode Island, Republican, has been re-eleoted by 3,000 majority, and tlie legislature Is largely Republican. Last year Van Zandt's majority was less than 500. The Democrats of Oregon held a State convention last week, among their resolutions, was oue denouncing the fraud by which Hay en became rflsldeut. Just ImagrutT trie cheek It requires for Oregon Democrats to howl "fraud." The Indianapolis Journal believes that "it is not only possible but com paratively easy for the Republican party to have a working majority In the next House of Representatives, if It is well organized and handled In the Northern States." The Chicago railroads last week cut down the rales of grain freight from points on the Missouri river to Chica go, from 12 to 7 cents per hundred pounds. This week the Chicago and St. Louis roads will establish 10 cents per hundred on fourth olasa freights. On the 11th Inst, the Deraoorats of 111. nominated a State ticket as fol lows : State Treasurer, E. S. Cron kite, of Freeport; Superintendent of Publlo Instruction, S. M. Etter, pres ent Incumbent; Clerk of the Supreme Court, E. A. 8nlvely, of Garlinsville; Clerk of Appellate Court, G. W. Jones, of Pike county. Warlike matters In the East remain about the same as last week. If there Is any difference the probabilities of an immediate conflict is lessening. It appears that Russia is showing some disposition to negotiate, and Bismarck Is laboring for peace. War prepara tions, however, on either side are still vigorously carried on. Neither side proposes to be oaught napping. Harry Johnson, a rather "fast" young man, employed in the auditor's offioe of the B. & M. railroad, Omaha, committed suicide last week, by shoot ing himself with a pistol. The reas on he gave for ending his life was, that he lived beyond his means and thus became, as he supposed, irrecov erably Involved In debts. Young men In the midst of vicious temptations should heed the lesson taught by young Johnson's sad fate. The State Journal Intimates that the Greenback paper of that city is in spasms and will "kick the bucket" within a brief period. Brownville Advertiser. The State Journal "lies with its us ual facility," when It "Intimated." The Western World has a right to die if it wants to, for it is. not under obli gations to any man, and moreover it don't want to die yet. The subsidiz ed papers of this State will wish it would die, before the Ides of Novem- ; ber. Western World. All right. We hope the Worldmay live on and flourish. Senator A. 8. Paddock has been complimented by eastern congressmen and the Press in general upon his masterly management of the Timber Bill which has been passed by the Senate, although strongly opposed by Eastern members of that body. This bill In brief gives owners of timber claims patents for 160 aores of timber cultivated for ten years. That this measure Is of great benefit to Nebras ka is evident to all, and we are glad to see Senator Paddock's energetic work Je its behalf recognized by the Press generally throughout the State. flatl&mouth Herald. The Herald omitted Inadvertantly no doubt an important point, which leaves its item in bad shape. The bill gives a patent for 160' aores for the cultivation thereon" of ten acres of timber for the period of ten years. II m to Make a Kite. The Inter Ocean in answer to a boy's question, "How to make a good kite something that will fly," gives the following: Get a straight grained pine slick three-quarters of au inch wide, one quarter thick, and four feet long. Next procure a good aBh hoop, split it unu have it the same length as tue piece of pine nearly. Find the cen ter of the hoop and fasten it at that point to the straight stick about an iuoh from the end. This may be done by lacing it with strong twine. Cut a notch in each end of the hoop. Tie a strong string to the end of the hoop, pass it around the pine Btick, then fasten it to the other end of the hoop and draw the endsof the hoop togeth er so the top will be round of good shape. Then pass the string to the long end of the stick, through a hole bi..ed for It, tp the end of the hoop where It was first fastened and secure It. This makes the frame. It may be covered with paper, but thin glaz ed ootton cloth is better. Lay the frame on the material and cut out the covering, leaving about an inch all around. Then paste the edge of the paper or cloth, bring it over the frame and see that it is fastened all around. When it is dry the belly-band may be but on. Bore two two holes through the back piece, eftoh one-third of the way from the end, and put through a string knotted at each end with a loop In it to which to fasten the fly-string-. The tail should be about twelve times aa long as the kite. The bobs o& the tail should consist of paper about three Inches long and an Inoh and a half broad, folded four times and tied on the string of the tail about three Inches apart. If the kite dives add to the weight of the tail. If it refuses to flv lighten It. Attnoh thefly-string and let it go. Now, if tho hoys can't make a kite, it Is not our fault. t Call for a State Temperance Conven tions By permission of the numerous Red Ribbon clubs throughout the State of Nebraska, I am delegated to call a State Temperauce Convention of the Red Ribbon men, and the Templars of Honor, and Good Templars, and Ladies' Christian Union, are request ed to join in this Convention, under the auspices of the Red Ribbon Clubs to be held at Lincoln, on the 15tb day of May, 1878, to act with ua to devise ways and means to further the cause of temperance.

TEMPERANCE. Editor Nebraska Advertiser. "Persuade old men not to drink ; educate the yoring not to drink, and saloons will close for want of custom ers." Mirable ductit 1 We agree with the author of the above, and who would not? Make the sick ones well; keep the well ones in good health, and the doctors, for want of patients, will cease to practice, etc. And that to persuade old people, and educate the young not to drink, is not one of the best means of doing away with or lessening the evil of intemperance we do not use the word intemperance in its primary signification, but as it is commonly used we would not pre tend to deny ; and believe that if the people, Instead of bickering about the way, would unite on moral suasion, loyal suasion, and all other kinds of suasion, the combined effort would go a great vt&y toward the overthrow of the great evil. And can welook for beneficent results while the "house is divided againstitself ?" Each has his pet theory if theory we may be per mitted to call it and can show that this way Is the only way; and he Is not willing to lend any assistance to a move in any other direction ; while the saloon keeper admits that this way or that, istlie only way, while he laughs in bis sleeve to see people try to deprive him of his custom by any one means while be oan rally a half doz zen different modes of persuading and iuduoing men to part with money, character, or their lives, at his filthy shrine. Shall we presume that by persuad ing, educating, etc., or by trying to persuade and educate, that we can do away with the evil? Does not the physician take steps to remove the cause of disease as soon as ho begins to administer doses of opiates to quiet the patient and alleviate pain ? And can we expect that the great "disease of the land" can be cured, and noth ing done to remove the cause? Does not the history of the last half centu ry prove to the contrary? Forty years ago a great orator echoed the thoughts and expectations of the temperance people when he said: "When the old topers die off we shall have a generation of sober men, for the young men who to-day see the evils of drinking will never be drunk ards. My Bon will never be a drunk ard.'' But have such hopes been re alized ? Far from it! And to-day we cannot shut our eyes to the fact, that while the old topers are dying off, young men somebody's sons and brothers are stepping forward to take their places, and the army of immod erate drinkers is but little smaller than it was thirty or forty years ago. And why ? Is it because people have not tried to persuade old people and educate young people not to drink? Another believes in teaching mod eration ; that men die drunkards be cause they were not taught the proper use of ardent spirits, etc. This delu sion is more sad than laughable when we reflect that probably not one in every one hundred ever thought that he would be a drunkard when he first sipped the poisonous draught. "I oan drink or let it alone," has doubt less been repeated time and again by almost every one who now sleeps iu drunkards graves. The loudest advo cate of moderation we ever met has to admit that over two years of his own life was worse than thrown away in a life of dissipation. Another would remedy the whole evil by anti-treat laws, and anti-treat societies and argues that all the evils of drunkenness grow out of the social manner of treating and being treated. Another believes nothing but local option law worth trying, and that there is no use trying while a license oan be granted to sell liquor on the pe tition of ten men while there is no law for refusing it, though remon strance be signed by ten thousand. And another ignores anything short of total prohibition ; declares it non sense to talk of local option refuses to render any assistance to any step in any other direction and remains per fectly oblivious to all temperance movements because We ought te have a prohibitory law. Now, is it not folly to believe that the groatest curse of our land can be wiped out without the united efforts Of all, and the employment of all available means? Do we believe that moral suasion alone can effect it? Look at the paBt ! Can we conclude that a prohibitory law alone would be of force sufficient? No, and not un til every effort known to mortal man bas been put forth shall we see the desired result. J. H. Dundas. Zonevalley, 2Ve&., April 9, 1878. After a long and probably exoiting debate, the Senate consented to the sacrifice of Gen. John M. Thayer, and he is removed from the office of Governor of Wyoming, against the wishes of a vast majority of the citi zens of that territory, to make way lor a " Professor ioyt," of WIsconsiu. Though the particulars of the execu tive session have not yet transpired, It is pretty evident that the Confeder ate brigadiers in the Senate, with the assistance of twoor three Republican "conciliators," performed the pleas ant duty of decapitating the old sol dier who fought ou the wrong side in the late rebellion. Home rule is a bloody good thing In Louisiana, but it is a dangerous experiment for the stalwart and loyal citizens of Wyom ing territory to try. State Journal. The body of Frederiok Dahlke, a fisherman who was drowned in theNi agara Rives on the 7th of December last, was reoovered one day last week, and iu mentioning the circumstance the Buffalo Commercial saj-s : "On the night before the body 5? as recov ered the widow of Dahlke. whe resid ed at Lower Black Bock, dreamed that she saw the corpse floating in the river near the Canada shore. She was 6o"lmpressed by the dres:n that 6he took the early train yestsrday morning to see if it was true, and the body was reoovered and brought home a short-time after she left." "The good sense and love of justice Inherent in the American people will finally right all things." Samuel J. Tilden.

Perhaps it was only a flank movement. New York Times. Twenty-six female M. D.'a have just received their degrees at the Homeopathio College for women in New York. Secretary Thompson proposes to seize certain American vessels which are supposed to be engaged iu th'o 000 lie trade between China and the Uni ted States. The Moffet bell punch Is an institu tion to register the number of drinks sold over a bar ; each drink paying one cent tax to the oity. It origina ted in Virginia, where it is now in use. "The Democratic House of Repre sentatives in South Carolina rejected a bill forbiddiugits members and the State and county officers and judges to accept free passes on railroads. Iu growing cattle, the most popu lar breed ought to be that sort capa ble of producing both good beef and plenty of good rioh milk, the more of both on the least feed, the better. The Philadelphia Times desires to have murderers privately suflooated by turning some fatal kind of gas in to their cells, so that the execution may be Been by no one, and revolting scaffold exhibitions prevented. General Grant writes that it is bis desirejto visit Austria, Prussia, Rus sia, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark before returning to this country, and, as he does not wish to visit any of those countries until warm weather, It will probably be October before he arrives back here. Fishing vessels arrived at St. Johns, Newfoundland, last week with near ly seventy thousand seals ; and seven ty thousand women who hope for saques next winter will hail this news with joy. The Rev. J. F. Yates, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal ohurch at Wya uet, 111., a man of more than ordina ry ability, has sued for a divorce from his wife, on the ground of desertion, His own ohurch at Wyanet is divided in opinion, both husband and wife having quite a respectable following. Hampton is liberal. Ho Buys ir the President will pardon the Ellenton murderers he will pardon Smalls. Smalls says he wants no clemency at such a price ; that he is innocent, and does not wish to gain immunity irom persecution at the cost of justloe to the kuklux assassins of South Carolina. The Maryland house of delegates has voted that the State is not respon sible for the damages to property des troyed during the strikers' riots in Baltimore, it being an occasion where the laws could not be euforced in due time to prevent the destruction of property. The Indiana Short-horn breeders held a convention lu Indianapolis last week. Several speakers contended that short-horns are higher iu .quali ty and quantity of milk and butter than any other kind of cattle. It was also urged that a cow should not be kept fat for breeding and milking. A man who spent four years of his life iu the Iowa Penitentiary under a wrongful conviction has just been awarded $1,500 by the Legislature of that State. Not many men would submit to be thus deprived of their liberty for the princely sum of St per day. It is estimated that over one hun dred thousand persons in Now Eng land hare signed the total abstinence pledge since Deo. 1. The California Legislature has pass ed a bill appropriating $42,000 yearly to the agricultural societies of the state. The authorities of Tennessee report that that state has received 1,000 set tlers from the North during the past ten months. There is a prospect of a large emi gration of English people, discourag ed by stagnation in business, result ing from strikes, etc., to the mineral and agricultural lands of Alabama, following the investment of English capital in the railroads of that state. The Iowa Legislature, at its recent sessiou, passed a law prohibiting the sale or the giving away of beer, wine or other intoxicating beverages with in a distance of two miles outside of any city or village which has prohib ited the sale of such beverages within the corporate limits. The first annual conference of the Mormon churcli since the death of Brigham Young has just been held at Salt Lake. The saints appeared to be well pleased with the new admin istration, which is in some material respects an improvement upon that of Brigham. Taylor, the new Presi dent, has rendered au account of the disposition of tithing funds, and In other ways commended himself to the good will of the people. Some Idea of the financial resources of the Mormon organization may be gather ed from the fact that Salt Lake alone, last year, the tithes amounted to $100, 000. In the whole territory they probably do not fall Bhort of $500,000. Franklin county is preparing again to compete for the championship of the state on showing agricultural pro ducts. We presume that Buffalo, Webster and Harlan counties will al so be competitors. Cass, Otoe, Nema ha, Richardson, Pawnee, Gage, John aon, Saline, Laucaster,Saunders, Doug las, Washington, Dodge and others of tl-.o older counties should, and we think soma will, enter the IistBas cpm petors for these prizes. Arrangements are already made whereby the pro ducts c-in be taken to Lincoln, free of oharge. when once delivered at the rallroR-l. Two or three men of pub lic spirit nnd enterprise should be bo lected from eaoh precinct to see each individual of the preoinot, make a list of the produots eaoh oan furnish, collect them nnd then take them to the railroad, then three or four men from each county should be seleoted to go to the fair, and place them on exhibition. Entries of each individ ual collection can be made and then the whole collection be entered a a county competitive exhibit. Let the papers of state take hold of this mat ter, write it ud and got their people interested and there will be eucb an exhibit as was never before seen at any state fair in Nebraska or else where. Kearney Press. A Letter From Mrs. Tilton Making Certain Acknowledgments. New York, April 15. Mrs. Tilton has written the following letter to Mr. ira B. Wheeler: Dear Sir. A few weeks since, after long mouths of meutalauguish, I told, as you know, a few friends whom 1 had bitterly deceived, that the charge brought by my husband of adultery between myself and Rev. Henry Ward Beecber was true, and that the lie I had lived so well the last four years had become intolerable to me. That statement I now solemly reaffirm, and leave truth with God, to whom also I commit myself, my children and all who must suffer. I know full well ex planations that will be sought by many for this acknowledgment a de sire to return to my husband, Insanity, malice everything save the true and only one, my quiokened conscience and eense of what is due to the cause of truth and justioe. Duringallcom plication8of these years yon havo been my confidential friend, and therefore I address this letter to you, authoriz ing and requesting you to seoure its publication. (Signed) Elizabeth R. Tilton. Brooklyn, April 13, 1878. Frank B. Carpenter, artist, in an interview this evening, stated there was no doubt of the genuineness of the letter. Mr. Ira B.
