At the city tlaction in Chicago on the lGtli, llio Republican ticktt was elected hy four thousand mnj.it i;y. Eleven cut of the tix'.een Aldermen are Republican. In Louisville, Kentucky, the Repub lican candidate for Mayor is elected by 2,013 majority; a gain cf I.OIS. TUT FRESHET Has done an immense r.ciauni of dam age along the whale lino of the Mis sauri river, and in the country north of Piaite. At Columbus the ice gave way cn the morn in of the 5th, and do'.vn came the flood submerging ihe whole lower part of tha town in less than an hoyr. TLe water was three feet deep in pin of the tj.vn, rushing along with tcrriblo fores and bearing along on its surface huge takes ef ice, some measuring five feet in thioknes. The people were inatanilj ! driven cut of their ho'Jie3, leaving fur niture, provisions, and everything to the mercy of the flood. The water came a. foot higher than the great flood of S8ven years ago. The Omaha Republican of the 23d iay3 the warehouse on the lower levse has disappeared entirely. It ha3 gone down stream with the rush of water. This warehouse belonjrd ta John Mo Cormick & Co. The depot building of the Chicago and Northwestern Rail road, on the Iowa bank of the river has euecumbed to the flo;d, and now lies a shapeless mass ef ruins ia the water. If the rise continues, it will soon be carried away also. A soli ary freight car stands on the track a little ways be low it, and is canting over as though the sand was being knocked from un der It. The eteam saw mills on the Saratoga bottom are just to be see:i above tho surface cf the water. The embankments of Famham and Douglas streets from the bluff to the railroad track, which were constructed last year at a great expense to the city, Lave suffered great damage. The wa ter is rapidly washing them away. The locomotives ef the U. P. R. R. were driven on Saturday from their position at the foot of Farnham street, and &ra now liationcJ at the foot of Tenth street, from whence trains now arrive and depart. Tho f-.rry boat has discontinued her trips, and is moor ed at the upper levee. The Jilue river is higher than ever before known, overflowing the bottom. in many places, and diiving the settlers with stock and household gocds to the high lands. Wilful Traste Ttin.ii.es i'oful Want. It is now pretty generally conceded that the real object in the purchase cf the Russo-American Possessions ia a grand project canccived by P. T. Bur num, ei'.ent partner wi h Johnson, Sew ard & Co., by which the Japanese, Chinese, Hindoos and South Aineri cans are to ba supplied with ice from the inexhaustible supply which has, by this treaty, becoma the indisputable property of "we the people." Birnum, in the meantime, hopes to capture enough sea-lions, walrusses, Esqui maux, polar bears atd other curiosities of nature with which the newly ac quired territory abcunds, to organize a magnifirent U. S. menagerie and thus crown his great work of humbug ging the pecple by the greatest nation al humbug ever yet' perpetrated. We cannot help expressing our sympathy end' sorrow for the bears and Esqui maux, and we wish the S7,500,000, paid to Russia for hor desert and unin habitable Anerican possesion had been out cf the p -cketa of Seward, Johnica. Sc Co., instead cf increased taxes on the people. IIOTCL.. Why do not our mechanics club to gtlher and erect a suitable Hotel. They could furnish the work, gantle-m-jn could ba found who would furnish material and ground the whole being equitably divided into shares, and with a very small exercise of that energy which is supposed to animate nearly all western men, a creditable Hotel could soon be erected. We have bow two comodiaus hotels, but they are in sufficient fcr the accomodation of the travelling public, and another large hotel is a pressing necessity. Let cur mechanics acd such othsrs as feel an interest in this matter put their heads toget'jer ca-11 a meeting arJ organize o joint jtock company which will pm t!ii! nuv.er through. 9i A 1 1.9. No mails at all yesterday. We might just as well imagine ourselves part of the newly acquired territory, late the Rus:ian Possessions in Ameri ca, as anything else, so far as mail is concerned. So long as the contractor receives his pay -whether he performs his trips or not, we may rest assured that he will not put himself to any extra trouble to deliver the mails in accord ance with his contract. The people ar supposed to be supplied with mails, and contribute largely to pay the con tractors: but where such plain, down right neglect, indifference and ineffici ency ia manifested, it becomes a duty we owe to ourselves to circulate memo rials setting forth the facts, to the Post Master General, for signature?, and forward them to the Department with out delay. Foretearanca is truly a great virtue, but in exercising it further in tha matter of a dirtlict contractor it becomes a sin. Now is the timo to plant tree; a few days could not bo more profitably spent Don't neglect it because wheat brings a hi?h price and prospects are good for its continuing. Remember that every tree growing on your farm adds not only to its beauty but to its permanent value. Many have started groves about their houses, let these add a few hundred trees more ; and those that have not, imitate the very estimable example, and start a grove immediately. We would be glad to heir from those that have had experience in this matter for the benefit, of the public. Wu know many cf our farmers who could make themselves interesting on this subject; and they will confer a favor by dam? so. MOKE L.&XSIS for XEDRASK.il. The authorities of our State having asked the Interior Department whether the lands granted to States under the act of April 14, 1SG4, were to be, de ducted from the grant of lands of four hundred thousand acres to each new State, under ast of September, 1S-11, the Secretary has decided that the last grant ehould not be deducted. Although Nebraska is the youngest State in the Union, yet sho is the largest owner of real estate within its limits. Messrs. IrUh and Renner have established a new piper in Nebraska City, lTie Slate Gazelle;' part of it is published in German and part in Eng iifh. The appearance of the sheet is .-ufficient to recommend it, and the names of its proprietors sufficient to guarantee succiss. We extract the following from the Dr's introductory: In politics u e shall be by not means neutral. The hi. lory of the past live years has demonstrate J ihe fact that if we would have j e.ice, permansnt and en during peace, tuch as thail command the reptici of ages, sj that henceforth our country shall be in truth "one and un divided," that we must still trust to the patriotism and statesmanship of that party which has carried us triumphant ly through the peril of the recent past. Relieving this we shall earnestly advocate the claims of the great "Union Party to tue continued coi.fidct.c3 of the people with that candor and cour tesy that becomes the causo of truth. It is the truth that mukk-s us fine; let us seek after it with an earnestness be coming the great interests involvsd. All of our opinions in poli:i.;s, in reli gion, ia morals may be examined and must be to secure a healthful action of tho public mind. Truth must meet er ror, the uruggling powers are to com in conflict end truih is to be elicited as the rpark glances from the collision of flint and steel. If there be any prin ciple that we cannot in good temper examine and discuss with our cotempo raries, it shuli bo abandoned.' If it cannot bs defended by argument, it shall bo laid aside. Tbctii Stranger than Fiction While passing through the Union De pot a few days ago, I was accosted by a one-armed man in faded army blue, bis apparent familiarity surprised me at first, but I soon recognized him as an old acquaintance. This is not the place for a biography, but the history of tkis man is sufficiently exceptional and interesting to deserve at least a passing notice. Fourteen years ago I first saw him working at a windlass in the gold dig gings ef Australia. II and his three partners hoisted by that windlass, from a single shaft, more than eight hundred thousand dollars. A few months later I bade him good bye he sailed from Melbourn for New York with two hun dred thousand in bills of exchange in his pocket. I next saw him a wounded rebel soldier, lying on the battle field of Antietam. A little more than a year later, I saw him as a Union soldier, lying in a hospital in Tennessee. To day he is a helpless wanderer, depend ent on charity for a dinner. Cincin nati Commercial. PSF",'Erick" Pomeroy, of the La Crosse Democrat, said in a recent arti cle: "Lincoln was elected by fraud and bayonets. His heart was not pierced, bu! his brain was, by a pistol ball fired by an agent cf God, and that agent still lives, although a minlod ccrpe of an unknown man was used in Wath-itigu-n to recover a reward fcr the Ltdy c B-oh ' imjim; 'MTio.tr. All wha visit the ea.M concur iu re porting that the fai merd .f the middle States are looking toward Nebraska for new home, ai.d that large numbers of them contemplata rtmjving to our State this spring, and that everywhere a favorable opinion exi ts as to our re sources, climate, etc. They are right. This is the place lor hard working and industrious men. We need them, and their energies require just the opening we here offer them, iq hi ch to sue ceed. We want laborers and capital to seek out and bf:ing into use our oal, oil and salt and whatever else lies hid den beneath our soil. Then the wealth of the 8jH, itself inexh.iu-tible, is to be made to produce, ivy the labor of the husbandman, the; bread and meat to feed net only our-own .people, but the hundreds of thousands of miners, mer chants, freighters, traders and emi grants, who are pressing forward to the m.ning Territories immediately west of us, and w'ho must derivo those necessaries cf life from our more pro ductive soil. Our prairies, to supply this demand, should swarm wrth farmers. Cattle ehould be brought here, for nature pro vides on our thousand lulls and iu our beautiful valleys, the fo'id upon which they will fatten, and the west furnishes an mexhausin tin and constantly in creasing market. We want men m Nebraska to assist in the work of build ing up here a ;great commonwealth, and we offer thevn inducements such aj no other portion of th-i jbbe can fur ni h. We wan? men to lay out and build Railroads.'to construct houses, to establish and conduct schools, and to do whatever their hands and heart find to do in such a waj' as will, with the bless ing of Cod, return to them for their la bor and enterprise, a rich and full re ward. Slate Gazelle. THE CillV PI.4KKCT. The New York - Dispatch gravely asserts that the sale cf illegitimate l a Lies in that city is a lare and profita ble business, ani so publicly carried on as scarcely to b clandestine. It says that should the King of the Ashantnes, or any other distinguished cannibal, come to that city, and desire a fine fat baby for a luxurious meal he could b accommodated. These so-called nur series are numerous, and may be found in different park of the city, their whereabouts being for the most part advertised in the daily papers, the an nouncement beiug made iu a manner that disguises but does no: conceal their real import. These pi ices, the largest of which is situ'itcd in (Jreenwich St., answers a double purpose, that of re lieving those of the responsibilities of maternity who do not wish to be so bur dened, and bes'owing upon those who wish such blessjnirs, th1? well-spring of pleasure, a baby iu the house. The seeker after infantile loveliness can, upon application, be accommodated to any desired extent; babies from one day to one year old are constantly on hand, provided to order, of any type of beauty, shade :or complexion, and at prices ranging from S5 to S200, war ranted sound, and in a good state of preservation at the t'fr.e of delivery. A reporter tvho visited one of these babv bazaars, Was off-red a sickly lit tle English m.Ue infant, 17 days old with a flabby fed skin, covered with "rafh," for tho unerasonable price of S."9. A robust female child, four mou'.b.3 old, wfts exhibited, but the re porter did not inquire the price. A ba by boy, cne month old, who was rovl aud gave no trouble, was held at S7o. A year nnd a half old French boy, with fair round limbs, hazel eyes and curly black hair, wes "ticketed at S150. The matron in charge volunteered the in formation that babie just then were "rather dull.' The "Rev. Profess r of Biblikle Lit eratoor" thus discourses of thedecliine of his party: : What marks tho d;moralizashen uv tho Dlmocrasy the :n st, i, the follerin extract which I cut from the Noo York World, wunst our trusted orgin. I hev not the heart to re wiite it. I paste the slip onto the paper, hence I am not re f ponsible for iich errors uv orthografy and grammer ez may be discovered in to it. Here it is : "As regards the popular notion of the odor of the negro, it may be posi tively stated ihal he, in this re?pect, is lik the whit' a clean negro being free from it, and a foul ono cursed by it." Ef this is troo ef the nigger don't stink, then Noah got lit and wus cust in vane then Paul sent back Onesimus for nolhin and Hager is uv no more in terest to the Dimocrssy than any other female who hez been ded several thou sand years. The Dimocratic party wuz built upon this stink, and ef that corner btun is knocked out, the temple fails ni.d buries all beneath its rooms who are sheltered under it, uv whom I am the cheefest and ihe loveliest among ten thousand. At one fell swoop the wind is knockt out uv the sftiU uv the Northern Dim ocrasy. Wiit is th nigjrer now to them ef he does not stink? "Popler noshen,' indeed! Trooly it wus a pop ler noshen. ' That ,-tink led hundreds uv thousands uv Dirnccrats by the nose. That "odor," as the writer styles it wus our best holt, and one wieh wus everything t3 us. That stink wus all that elevated the Demokrat over the Qigger thai wus our mark uv eooper iority. We; at times, wus uv the pro cise odor uv Nite bloomin serious. A Dimocratic rnass convenshen, when in a tite room, with tw o stoves in jt, wus not the most oderous githenn in the world, but wethnnked God continyao ally that the smell that ariz ez the I room goi bet. wns not the pecjoliar I arcma uv the niccc r, and we wus com fortsd, but . bis writer redooes the I whole th:rr the vbole difference be tween the nigger and the Demokrat to a matter uv color and cleanliness. Wat hereby ! Wat iclouaclasm ! (This last word meanin, I believe, idol break in or 6ulhin uv that sort. ) Ef this be troo, then in the nit a nigger with his ft et washed is better than a D.'inokrat ! For one, now I care not ef Dr. Cum mins' "Lnst Warnin Cry" be trooly the last. I'm sorry that he rented his hous for ninety-nine years, ez it hez a tendency to destroy my fnith wi bis beleef that the world is ab ut pegirin out. The sooner (Jabrivl blows iiis horn the belter I shul be sooted. Chicago, lo. Th Tribune states on the best authority (hat Raymond was appointed to the Austrian Mission without solicitation -'on his part, and wiiluiutthe knowledge ot Seward There will be a sharp strurrIe over his confirmation.

In the proceedings of the City Coun cil of Nebraska City, of the 1-jth inst., we find the following: Hon. O. H. Irish and Wm. E. Hills, Esq., slated thai the order of A. F. & A. M. had in contemplation the estab lishinent of an institution for the edu cation of orphans, and that the order would be glad to receive propositions from the several muncipalities in the State presenting inducements to guide the Grand Lodge in the choice of a lo cation for said institution; and asked the Counc.l to make a conditional dona tion of tne City Park for the purpose. Mr. Yalbautn moved the following : Resolved, That if the Masonic Fra ternity will locate their proposed Edu cational Institution at Nebraska City, and that if it shall be for tlu reception, under suitable regulations, of other or phans than those of Ma.onic parents, the City Council shall donate to the Grand Lodge A. F. c A- M.. the City Park for the purposes of said institu tion. Th resolution was ordered to lie over till next meetinjr. We find 'he following correspon dence in the Press of the 20ih, which we republish for the benefit of the "knights of the cue in ihi locnlity: Yesterday the lovers of the game cf billiards were gratified with witnessing at Jackson's rooms, the extraordinary skill of Messrs.' Dudley Kavanagh of New York, and JohnShoaf of Omaha. The first has a national reputation, and '-ho latter scarcely ai.y further than the State. While the play of both gen tlemen is something superb in all var ieties, we preferred ihe game by Shoaf. Excepting trick thots, many of which were exhibited and brilliantly executed, Kavanagh's forte appears to be in hold ing the balls in a corner; and by keep ing them close together, at short shots is enabled to make long runs; while at long shots, cushion shots, &c, he does not do much better than many of our boms players. Shoaf can make a count "around the table," and he is pe culiarly at home in calculaiing a long or compound anglt ami in making counts from one, two. three or four cushions. We think Shoal's play ex hibits more billiard "genius," while the best players may profit by the skill of either of our visitors. To Western Editors. --Keep it be fore the people, that lo plant the com mon Black Locust is to reap certaindu appointment. Hundreds of ares have been torn up by the roots in Illinois, during the last five years, because the borer had reduced their handsome tops to unsightly btumps. Thosn plant "d in the early settlement of Kansas are universally sharing tho same fate. The seed is easily gathered, they grow rapidly, make a beautiful top, are healthful in their climatic influences, and are every other way desirable; but it is absolutely certain that they will fail after growing a few years on the prairies. Western men know this, but new immigrants from the East do not.i The Honey Locust which grows in the forests of all the West, and is arm ed with long woody thorns, has, so far as tested, proven safe for open cultiva tion. But it is believed that the Osage Orange is our best tree for wind breaks around dwellings, stock yards or orch ards. It grows certainly and rapidly, will attain a height of twenty to forty feet if not trimmed, and a belt twenty feet in width will, with its innumerable and malted branches, form a screen second "iu value only t evergreens, while it can be grown in much less time and at far less expense. E-iF'The Methodists intend to build a large Monumental church at Wash ington, to cost S200.000. It wil' be one of the largest and most imposing church edifices on the continent. Pew will be set apart for thn President and his Cabinet, the Judees of our Courts and the Generals of our army and oth er dit;ngui'hed persons.

I find by experiment where potatoes are planted whole, that only a small portion of the eyes grow, but when they are cut and only one eye left on each piece it grows, but when two are left tha strongest one grows, and the other one lies dormant; o thera is an actual saving of teed by cutting the potatoes. 3" A dispatch of the 12 inn., says Col. Adams arrived from Arizona end laid before the Secretary of War an interesting account of his private ex ploration of the Colorado river. He says he ascended the river eight hun dred and twenty five miles, and he al so says that with slight improvement on some parts of the river that it can be made navigable for steamers, four or five hundred mile further. The matter is deemed of great importance, as it bears directly upon early commu nication with the Pacific. Not Posted The Topeka Tribune gives the following amusing incident, gro.ving out of the present suffrage movement Two parties ui rived ul the Capital House in that city tho gentle mau being registered as Dr. Blackwell, and the lady, its Lucy Stone. The regi?ter as it appeared, did not appear i.o show to the clerk of the Capi'al that the parties were 'man and wife," but simply two different nnd unconnected individuals. The gentleman remarked that they "wi-hed a room." The clerk thought course that the two could not occupy a single loom, but was informed that one room would be quite suitioit-nt, and thereupon, as cool as possible un der the circumstances, our friend said : "but we don't do business in that way.' Explanation followed, and the matter was amicably arranged, so that Dr. Blackwell and Lucy Stone occupied the same room. l57 A stranger came to town, on Saturday, riding a pretty good horse barebacked, with a blind bridle. He was very anxjous to sell the horse so much so, that he sold it to a person whom h' did not know, for SCO, and trusted him for 30 of the amount. He was then impatient to cress the riv er at once. The circumstances were so suspicions, that he was arrested and lodged in the Calaboose, until Monday morning, when, nothing new having come to light, and there being no evi dence upon which to detain him, l.e was set at liberty, and gotacrossthe river in quick t:mo. There can he but little doubt that he stole the horse. IViile Cloud Chief- nQThe icebergs have made their appearance preity enrly on the coast, and several homeward bound vessels have experienced some difficulty in avoiding these dangerous enemies to navigators.

Little Girls. There is something inexpressibly sweet in litde girls. Lively, pure, unsuspecting, inno cent, iiigenuous and full of kind nes to bro.htrs, babies and every thing.
