the kind heretofore known to natural
ists, on the occasion of the Omaha Re
publican nsirjg his snake weed s.witch
upon the specimen of that order at
Omaha, called the Herald, lately, that
very unfortunate reptile hissed out ihe
following piece of philosophic, giandi
loquent and superlative nonsense :
"It is said a large numbtr of votes
in Cass were proved to be illegal.
Convenient witnesses may have awori
to this. The parlies to such an infamy
may be glad to have. Mem at hand.
We do not envy them their ignoble oo
cupation."
How very funny, to be sure. No
honest men anywhere except copper
heads. Every man in Cass who didn't
swear to suit "the reptile family is a
convenient witness and a party to an
infamy.' We shouldn't wonder if Enoch
and Ehsha should loose their traditional
Uurels and the tdiurs of the Omaha
Herald and Nebraska City Ar should
bft translated for their spotless purity.
There are some citizens in Nebraska
who think that if they had their deseits
they would at leat imitate Mahomed,
and be somewhere between here and

Hon. P. W. Hitchcock. Perhaps
we Lave never had a delegate iii Cou
gress that labored less lo malte a polit
ical reputation for himself at home cr
more for the good of tho people he
represents, than Hon. P. W. Hitch -ck.
From persons who have recently re
turned from WaiLinmoa, we hear that
he inactively engaged in urging through j
measures for our bene.it, and like a
prudent man, has abstained from par
lyi.iii as much as possible, and pre
served ihe best of feeling with all the
members cf Congress with whom he
has come in contact. This gives him
more the character of a business man
than a politician, and he is consequently
free from the antipathies that operate
so strongly ajainn a political delegate,
and secures him the respect and confi
dence of all rarties. With this inudi
in his favor he wields an enviath; in
fluence iu Congressional circles, which
influence he uses judiciously in favor
of his constituents. The benefits and
favors already secured by Mr Hitch
cock have been considerable, and reilect
credit upon him at home, and he has a
number of other measures now untie r
way that will work greatly to the ad
vantage of Nebraska. He is active
and industrious and free from section
alism, so far. .YebrasJia Cify Press
The above well merited complimsnt
has our hearty indorsement. Mr. Hitch
cock has been indefatigable ii his
efforts to secure permanent and valu
able aid from Congress for our Terri
tory, nnd Las, in truth, accomplished
more for us than all the delegate we
ever had in Washington, together. It is
said that Republics are ungrateful ; but
we hope the hold Mr. Hitchcock has
secured upon ihe hearts of the people
of Nebraka may wax stronger and
deeper until he meets that reward at
their hands which he so richly merits.
Unobtrusive, honest, and energetic, his
steady, go-ahead, business habits have
won for him golden opinions among the
representative men cf the nation, as
well as amorcr his neighbors and fel
low citizens of Nebraska.

startling fact thai Serator Lane of
Kansas shot hims -lf thro'.i:rh the head
on Sunday las', at.d thai he died yes

it w;b announced a few days since that
Mr. Lane was sick at St. Louis, and
his physicians did not think that he
would Le able to resume Lis seat in the
Senate during the present session. It
seems, however, that he recovered
sufficiently to vi.-it his State and put an
end lo his life in this sad manner.
We are not sure of Mr. Lane's imtivi
ty, but he resided a long time in
Southern Indiana; was a prominent
politician and did himself crec'it as an
ollicer in the Mexican war. What
ever weaknesses orfauhshe may have

He was an earnest advocate of the
"Nebraska Biii." which claimed to ex
tend to ihe people of the Territories
the privib.-ge of regulating their "do
mestic institutions" in their "own way,
subject only tJ ihe Constitution of the
United States." General Lane went
to Kansas in an early day to make his
hume there, and to assist in carrying
out the provisions of this Act. But he
was for ' free State, which was suffi
cient to have him excluded from the
Democratic communion of that day, as
it would be now. From .that time
forth Mr. Lane was found battling
against Border Ruffianism, and in favor
of the freedom of Kansas, until the
fact was accomplished. Since that
time his career is rather familiar to the
people of the West His life was as
eventful as his end has been melan
choly. He seemed rather erratic and
violent at limes, and as a consequence
had bi'ter enemies ps well as many
warm friends. Omaha Republican,

thai they had removed a short plank in

A Cluster of Beautiful Wohds.
Tbo-i following beautiful reflection is
guir2 the rounds cf the press: "It
enn not be that earth cast up by the
ocean of eternity lo float a moment
upon its waves and sink to nothingness.
L'se why is it that the high and glo
rious aspirations which leap from the
tt mpies of our hearts are forever wan
dering libout unsatisfied? Why is it
thai the rainbow and cloud come over
us with a beauty not of earth, and then
piss off ana leave us to mu-e upou
their faded lovliness ? Why is it that
the stars, who hold their 'festival
eround the midnight throne,' are set
hbove the grasp of our lnnited facul
ties, forever mocking us with their un
approachable glory? And. finally.
why is it that brighter tornis of human
beau'y are presented to our view, then
'iken from us leaving the thousand
streams cf our affections to flow back
in Alpine torren'.s upon our hearts?
We are born for a higher destiny than
that of earth ; there is a realm where
the rainbow never fades, where the
star wiil be spread out before us like
islands lhat slumber on the ocean, and
where the beautiful which begins here,
and passes before us like shadows, will
stay in our possession forever."

"Good-bye, Mac," instantly shot him
self as before described. Ha was at
uiT.-e removed to the houe, where ev

Accidental Shooting. The Kear
ney Herald says, that on the 2d inst..
at Plum Creek, as a Mr. Bradford, a
wagon master, was in the act of taking
apart a pistol for the purpose of clean
in? it, a load he had fniled to ob
serve was in some way thscharged, tha
ball entering hia foot, lie was imme
diately brought to that city and Doctor
Keshoar called to his relief. On ex
amination it was discovered that the
ball had divided, one portion lodging
in the instep, and the remainder pass
ing forward under the toe, fracturing
several small bones in its course. The
former was so firmly impacted in the
bone that it was not until the sufferer
was quieted by chloroform that the sur
geon succeeded in exiracn'ns it. As it
would have required a difficult opera
tion to get at the other, nnd its presence
would not necessarily give the man any
uneasiness, it was allowed to remain.
EST" Hon-. Bartiwell Rtett, a dis
tinguishhed citizen of South Carolina,

received two loads from a double barrel
shot gun. In about 20 minutes after
receiving the wound he fell from his

definiuly who ihe murderer was, but
it is supposed to be a negro who had
expressed strong ai.imosity against the

j hole in a log in which a quantity of
powder was placed, followed by a quan
tity of sand. A young man by the
name of W. W. Madison, who was a
soldier in the l-5ih Iowa, then took a

the striking of fire from con'act with

A dispatch from ban Francisco irr
this morning's paper removps all doubt
as to tho flection of the Union ticket
in Oregon. Official returns from all
counties, except Coose, Grant and
Umatilla, give Wocd. the Union candi
date for Governor, 203 majority. Of
the three couniies yet to be heard from,
Coose and Umatilia gave in 166-1, to
gether, a Democratic majority of 49,
nnd Grant is a new county. The rest
of the Union ticket is elected by a ina

f"-"iT""A newspaper moralist thinks
it a shame that French women of low
caste should set ihe fashion in dress
for American women. Scarcely.
French fashions as worn by French
ladies, are commonly boih decent aud
tasteful; but as exaggerated Ly Amer
ican and English women, they are
fcomeiimes neither the one or the other.
The "shame," therefore, does not be
long to France.

The Breast-plate Revived. A
letter from Italy to an Englidi paper
says that breast plates are being re
vived as in the glorious limes of the
Knighis of ihe Round Table and the
Plantagenets. M. Muratori, thi di
rector of the Genoa Penitentiar', has
succneded in devising a breast-plate for
soldiers, which scarcely weighs three
English pounds. After repeated ex
periments, practiced on it with heavy
cavalry pistols at five paces, and lacee,
bayonets and swords, il has been dis
covered to ,be utterly impenetrable
both to bullets and thrust. The most
striking peculiarity of this breast-plate,
which can in no way impede the more
inenis of a soldier, is lhat not the slight
est atom of metallic matter enters into
its composition. The Minister for
War, and several superior officers, be
ing present during the experiments,
were high'y satisfied with its practical
usefulness.
New York, June; 2'J. The Herald'
Rio Janeii o correspondent gives details
of the battle of Estaufalio. betweeu
the Paraguayians and the allied army.
It appears that the Paraguayians, in
stead of falling back as the allies con
fidently expected, awaited the approach
of the latter and by a bold and sudden
dash gave ihem a severe blow, but re
inforcements arriving the Brazilians!
gained the day, not however without
receiving a terrible puni-hment. More
than a thousand wounded Brazilians
had arrived at Corrento. The Para
guayians rtill resolutely hold their fort,
and a severe battle was anticipated. '
