Editors Western Rural,': After an extended tour through Iowa, Da kota, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, and carefully noting the advantages and disadvantages of each to those Eselocting new homes, candor compels us to eay that Southern Nebraska offers better Inducements to men of small capital than any other section yet visited, and of this section John son county decidedly takes the lead Nearly the whole of tho county is beautiful rolling prairie interspersed with numerous streams of clear water, with banka skirted with timber, fur nishing an abundance of wood to those settling on the bottoms and to Lthose on the uplands at a moderate cost. The soil is a deep, rich, block, friable loam, of inexhaustible fertil ity, and on account of its depth, improves with cultivation instead of wearing out in a few years unless fertilized artificially as Is the case of the prairie soil in Illinois and Wis consin. Teoumseh, the county seat, on the line of the A. and N. R. B., w hi oil runs through the county diag onally from northwest to southeast, and a beautiful thriving village of some 1,500 inhabitants, is situated nearly in the center of the county, and from its favorable site and teem ing fertility around, it promises to be come one of the leading places in the West. ' Large tracts of the land in this county was secured early by so called speculators, who held it' for the ad vance in price, but who now, tired of paying taxes on land to them unpro ductive, offer it at rates whioh furnish extra inducements to live farmers with small capital. Of course this is no place for homesteading, which ac counts for the mass of late emigration all punning further West beyond the advantages of schools, churches and the general comforts of Bociety. There are some exceptions, however, to the vast number who left behind this fer tile region for the extreme frontier. Some from Illinois, Wisconsin, and other Eastern States, who for years have been ohafing'under the galling yoke of debt, have managed to dis pose of their old mortgaged home steads, with a saving which has en abled them to secure comfortable homes here, whose broad aores are a reliable assurance of their future pros perity, and are now congratulating themselves on their fortunate deliver ance from the grim clutch of their late landed owners. Schools, church es, literary and benevolent societies abound. Society in many respects is preferable to that of the East, being more fresh and new and devoid of many of the false forms and hollow mockeries of older places. We hope thesejstateuients will find a plauo lu your papor. Wn wish to be understood'as being no laud specula tor, and have none to sell ; hence the design of this is for no advertisement, but a simple statement of facts for the benefit of whom it may concern. Young Farmer. Kecent'PostoDlcciltuliugs. Pocket knives aro unbailable. It is the duty of a mail carrier to re ceive mail matter, properly prepaid aud inclosed in United States stamp ed envelopes, when one mile or more from a postoffice. A paper printed in one county and published in unother cannot be sent to subscribers residing in both coun ties. A mark calling attention to some particular paragraph in a newspaper does not subject it to any additional postage. Crayon drawings are subjeot to letter rates of postage, the same as any oth er matter produced by pen or pencil. Tlio postal laws prohibit the ex change of postage'stamps of one de nomination for those of other denom inations. Some part of a publication must be printed in the county wherein the claimed office of publication id loca ted, to enable the same to be sent free to subscribers residing.in Baid county. (See ruling No. 3.) There is no law excluding postal cards from the mails because of noti ces of indebtedness being printed or written thereon, but no indecent lan guage, terms or epithets will be al lowed in such notices. All letters having one full rate pre paid must be forwarded. Second and third class matter must be fully pre paid. When a newspaper has been refus ed by the party addressed it is simply the duty of the postmaster to notify the publisher that suqh is the case, af ter which, if the paper continues to arrive in the mails, he should place it with other other waste paper, to be sold at the end of the quarter. The postal law forbids the reutingof boxes, in postofflces- to two families or firms. A printed business card may be mailed at third-class rates provided it has no writing upon it other than the address. Eegular newspapers oannot be ad mitted to the mails at pound rates when a handbill or circular is in-olosed. A publication not entitled to be sent in the mails at pound rates cannot be sent as an "exchange" at the pound rates. Postmasters at other than letter car rier ofiicea are obliged to distribute lo cal (county) newspapers, intended for regular subscribers, from the boxes or general delivery of their offices freeof charge; provided the same are prop erly dried, folded and addressed. A postmaster cannot use the postof fice boxes as a medium to advertise his business without fully prepaying all postage, the same as anyone el&e would be required to do. The PostolHce Department rules that no postolnce shall be kept in a barroom or a room directly connected therewith, nor must any mail be opened or delivered in auysuoh room. Letters passing through the mails connot lawfully be opened by any of ficers of the law for the purpose of de tecting criminals. The Postoffice Department is not" re sponsible for matter lost in the mails It is no part of a postmaster's busi ness to inquire of a peraou receiving newspaperd, prepaid at pound rates, whether they are subscribers or not, nor is there any restriction in the number a person may receive, except in the case of free country newpapers. Western Postal Review. m m Bots In Horses. On this subject a correspondent of the Southern Live Stock Journal writes : I have had many horses and mules opened after death, most of whom were treated for bots, and have yet to eee the first case where they had done injury. A majority of the cases died from inflammation of the bowels, caused by the drastic and ridiculous remedies administered. Ihaveknown the entrails of a chicken forced down the throat of a valuable animal as a remedy. Upon another occasion a portion of the horse's mane and tail, chopped up and administered in ur ine. This to an animal owned by a profetsor of chemistry, by the way. A horse has colic, which is at once pronounced a case of bots, and the remedy used kills the horse. In one post mortem, which all the experts pronounced bots before the death of the animal, we found that the horse died from congestion of the lungs. The bot is inoapable of penetrating the stomach, as much so as a fishing worm Is of going through a granite wall. But granting that he has the faculty of so doing, the stomach being punctured, the case would be hope less injnine cases in ten. If the bot had the power of eating a hole in the horse's stomach, the ani mal would have disappeared from this part of the world long ngo. But, as prevention is better than cure, any one may avoid the bots by passing a greased rag over the eggs of the bot fly, which she attaches to the hair of the legs and other parts of the body. Old-TimorSlioes.j In England, the fashion of wearing shoes can be traced back to the ear liest times. According to Meyrlok, the shoes worn by the Belgian Britons were made of raw cowhide, that had the hair turned outward, and coming up to the ankles. A great beau of the time of Willam Rufus, called Bobert the Horned, wore shoes with long, sharp points, stuffed .with tow, and twisted in a spiral form. This fashion took the fancy of the people of that day immensely, and the point?-went on increasing yearly to the reign of Richard the Second, they had to be tied to the knees of the wearer to save him from being encumbered in walk ing. This tying or fastening in the case of gentlemen was by chains of silver or silver gilt. In Chaucer's time the upper part of these shoes was out to imitate a church window. The rank of the wearer in those daj's was known by the length of his poulainep. "The men," says Paradin, "wore them with a point before half a foot long;tho richer and more eminent personages wore them a foot, and princes two feet long." By an act of the reign ofBichard the Fourth, the absurd length to which these points had attained was limited ; and no one under the rank of a lord was to wear shoes more than ten inches long, and all cobblers making them were to be fined and cursed by the clergy. How to Prevent Itheuinatisin. Put away the sheets and counter pane, and sleep in blankets, under and over, and no counterpane at all. The sheets and counterpane do a great deal of mischief.

Republican, informs that paper of eighteen persous who were attacked with diphtheria, giving names and residence, who were cured by the use of kerosene oil as a gargle. A little of the oil was also swallowed. In no instance where the oil ws adminis tered did the patient fail to recover. There may be a fact here worthy the attention of medical men. A package in a basket was left on the doorsteps of a cautious Newport woman, who, having no desire to ad opt a foundling, took the basket to the police station and there found that it contained a twenty pound tur key.
