Warlike matters In the East remain
about the same as last week. If there

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

that he lived beyond his means and
thus became, as he supposed, irrecov

In the midst of vicious temptations
should heed the lesson taught by
young Johnson's sad fate.

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.

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.

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
