'Dicre never was a time in the history
of this country, when improvements
were being made as rapidly as they are
during the present year. 3Iore prairie
will be broken and brought into cultiva
tion than during any previous year. In
all parts of the country we see breaking
EIows goinp, and our farmincr land will
e increased fifty per cent., during the
present season. Scarcely a day passes,
but what people are arriving, looking a
tlio country, and many of them purchase
farms or improved .land, without looking
further. Our heautiful country and fine
crops are inducement enough for most
people who visit the county with a view
of coming west to live, to settle here, and
they are generally well satisfied with this
county, and consequently a large amount
of land is daily changing' hands. We
would like to report the changes that
are takinsr place throughout the county,
but our limited time has prevented us
from doing so. There are but few peo
ple in the county that are fully aware of
the amount of land wild in the county
during a vear. The steady tide of immi
gration that is-coming in, has caused
quite an advance in the price of real es
tate, and yet the sales are not the less,
but rather increased, fur even' one who
fees the country is well pleased with it,
and all who have the means punhace
land as soon as they can suit themselves,
for fear that it will advance in price lie
fore they conclude their trades. This
county is better settled, probably, than
any other county in the State, and if the
tide of immigration continues as it has
been in the past, we will soon see the en
tire county fenced and brought into culti
vation. There is no letter county in the
State than this, and if we had the facil
ities for persons coming west, to get to and
from our county that wc ought to have,
ic would fill up much more rapidly than
it does. But we have no railroad trav
ersing our county, to give persons a con
venient way to get here, nor have wc
any large city to induce uion from a dis
tance to stop and spend a few days with
us, and consequently there is not one
fmrth of the imink'nuion to this part of
the State that wou'd lie if we had a gen
eral thoroughfare through the county.
People coming to the far west comuion
lv travel by rail, ami either go into
Kansas, which has railroads leading into
variou-j parts of the State, or go north of
tis to Omaha, and from there back into
the iuterior of the State. And yet froiu
our superior county, wc have a fair
amount of travel coming this way, con
sidering the difficulty they labor under in
getting to and from here. But while we
represent this county as being one of the
best if not the best in the State, we
would in no way say anything against
any other part of the State, for other
parts of the State are good ; not fur
passed by any other country in the world.
Wc see by our exchanges that all parts
of the State are in a prosperous condi
tion, crops are good, and improvements
are coinr on rapidly. Never was there
a time when Nebraska lands were sought
after more eagerly than at the present
time. The country has learned that we
tiave a very hue itate, ami consequently
immigration is pouring into . the State
from all parts ot the country, and the
wastes and wild prairies, which so re
cently only fed herds of wild beasts, and
was the home of tho Indian, will soon be
brought into a thorough ?tate of cultiva
tion, and be inhabited by millions of in
telligent, industrious and happy people.

The publishers of the San Antonio

meters threw not only a large body of

an average, half an inch in length, and
resembling whitebait both in appearance
and taste. From the fact of the sand
extracted from these walls leing identical

: It only needs to be stated that "the han
py. couple were recently married, and
were returning from ti' shopping excur
sion. They had taken a street car full
of gentlemen. Just as the lady took her
seat, she noticed a beaut'fully worked
linen substance fall ara dud her feet. It
might hav been a handkerchief, ami the
more she thought of it, the more she
felt like something had given way around
her waist. An awful fear took posses
sion of her heart Those treacherous
I u:tons would give way sometimes,""and
if her own had proved false what would
she do? If she got up, the accident
would be noted by every one. The per
spiration broke out in great drops on her
face the cheeks all rosy with health and
banpiness. were now pale with death.
What could she-do ? Kvery moment
drew them nearer home she could even
now see the palings ol' the fence Henry
was rising to ring the liell.
"Stop, Henry don't, don't ring, for
mercy's sake!" she whispered. 'as-tug-gin
ar at his coat tails, she pulled hini back
to his seat.
"Why, what's the matter? we are at
home."
"O, I know it; but don't get out
Henry, please, don't,". and the tear
stained face wore an expression like an
angel's, in Henry's estimation, turned so
beseechingly upon hirn.
Still the car rolled on, but the passen
gers rather increased than dimished.
"Why, Belle, where are you going?"
exclaimed the impatient Henrv. "'
"Oh! don't ask me, but sit still Oh !
do now to oblige me," faltered the young
creature in accents so piteous that they
went directly to the husband's heart.;
"But Belle what is the matter?" ' 1
"leant tell Oh! I can't tell; but
don't make me get up."
And now'the car had reached ' the sta
tion, and the remaining passengers begin
to leave the vehicle.
"Now, Belle, let's go !"
"Wait just a moment,"said she eager
ly, a.s the last trentleman was descending
the step, and then springing suddenly up,
she looked curiously at her feet. The
white substance fell away, and disclosed
Henry's handkerchief dexterously spread
for her to sit ujon. but which the sweep
of her dress had displaced.
"Why, it's a handkerchief," she said
with anaccent that evinced iutense sur
prise. "Yes. it's mine. What did vou think
it was?" .
"I thought it mv rav my "
"Oh, that was it?"
Belle nodded'.

lMnrliiiijc I'nctiiiibrr Vines.
I had a narrow border, not more than
two and a half feet wide, on the edge of
a paved vard. enclosed by a high fence.
I planted threecucunder hills in the bor
der, and laid some brush, such as is used
tor pea vines, between them and the
fence. As soon as they crept up to the
top of the brush, I pinched off the ends
of the vines, which thickened rapidly
around the roots and in every direction,
throwing out the most vigorous foliage
and a profusion of flowers.
I did not allow the cucumbers to grow
but watched them, ami such as I wished
to reserve for the tab'.e, I picked as soon
as they became of proper size; a!l th
rest were gathered every day for pickles,
every day pinching oft' the bud at the
end of each shoot. In this way the hill
continued fresh and productive until
they were toujhd by frost. Some judg
ment can lo formed of the value of this
practice when I add that more than a
barrel of pickles were made from three
hills, besides allowing a supply for the
table.
Whe never a leaf began to look yellow
ish it was removed, and every cucumber
and the leaf were cut oft" with large scis
sors, so as not to disturb and wound the
vine. There is an advantage in having
them run up on a brush inste:id of trail
ing over the ground, because they are
much injured by being trodden on; and
by Iteing kept low on the bushes they
can be easily and thoroughly examined
every day, which is essential, leeause if
one or two cucumbers are overlooked and
grow very large it stops the yield of that
vine. Iforlirvltnri.tf. ,

When "Nasby" (D. K. Ixxke) was
editor of the Bueyrus (Ohio) Jovrnnl,
there appeared every week in the "local
column ' a sensational storv of some sort.
A miraculous reunion of" husband and
wife, or father and son after a lapse of
many 3'ears sudden reappearance of
men had long been mourned for. dead,
and which were copied by all the papers
in the State as veritable the obituary
5f "John K. Cake, burned to death in
an overt, " which was so extensively cir
culated, fr-t'orginacd here. Now for my
story. In 1S61, "Nasby" went to Camp
Taylor with the first company of volun
teers (Captain ButterEeld's of theKiirhth
Ohio. ) which left It under the call for
T").(HH men. While standing on the
platform at Crestliiie, waiting for the
Cleveland train, A friend came sauntering
alomrin with "Artomus Ward," (Charles

Phtin Denier). An introduction follow

friendly shake. "Artemus" said: "lam
most happy to meet the most nrcexnful
Unr in the State of Ohio." The by
standers, who were mostly Bueyrus boys,
apjreciated the joke hugely, and com
menced with a broad grin, they finally
raised a snicker, and concluded with a
hearty laugh, in which "Nasby" cordial
ly joined and shook his sides.

Stupidity is sometimes very difficult to
define. W e Gften think men stupid, who
are only so accord ing to some standard of
smartness, which is sometimes a false
one, which we have set up for ourselves.
A man once called Lord Derby stupid be
cause he "could not teach him to blow
glass bottles. He would have thought
Newton or Bacon the same. Men are
set down as stupid because thev have no
book knowledge, drop their h s, or use
the r's in the wrong place in spelling
Beading, -Writing and Arithmetic. But
such things do not really make them so.
Stupidity doe- not le!ong to this or that
class of jveopie, but is widely diffused.
True stupidity is more like boring than
anything else. When a man moves day
by day iu one groove, having no part or
interest in the thoughts or feelings of
others, he is stupid ; and, by stupid, we
mean his inability to see things with oth
er people's eyes, or to appreciate their
work. The reading man need never be
stupid. He has the means of under
standing everything, from a boy's squirt
to the Atlantic telegraph ; and it is his
own fault if befalls into the number of
those cloudy-minded people upon whom
all explanations are thrown away, which,
in the learned or unlearned, is the very
essence of sta pidity.

attached to the pumj. When tle pump
is worked, if nipre water is withdrawn
from the well than usualy flows into it,
the waiter 'evel is lower, and a diminution
of juressure is produced on the . surface ;
this causes an increased supply of water
to come in from the springs that feed
the well. Indeed, since this increased
flow enlarges the channel of . supjily.the

It is a j)ainful spectacle in families,
where the mother is the drudge, to see
the daughters, elegantly dressed, reclin
ing at their case with their drawing,
their music, their fancy work, and their
reading, lieguiling themselves of the
lapse of hours, days, and weeks, and
never dreaming of their responsibilities ;
but. as a necessary consequence of neg
lect of duty, growing weary of their use
less lives, lay hold of every newly-invented
stimulant to rouse their droojiing ener
gies, and blaming their fate when they
dare not blame their God for having
placed them where they are. These in
dividuals will often tell you with an air
of affected compassion (for who can be
lieve it real), that poor, dear mamma is
working herself to death ; yet no sooner
do you propose that they should assist
her than they declare she is quite in her
element ; in short, that she would never

When the game of chess was first in
vented, the Emperor of China sent for
the inventor and desired him to teach
him. The Emperor was so delighted
with the game that he told the inventor
whatever he should demand should be
given him as a remune ation for his dis
covery. To which he replied, that if his
majesty would but give him a grain of
corn for the first square of the chess
board, and keep doubling it every check
until he arrived at the end. he would be
satisfied. At first the Emperor was
astonished at what he thought the man's
modesty, and instantly ordered his re
quest to be granted. The following is
tlie sum total of the number of grains
of corn, and also the number of times
they would reach round the world, which
is 3C0 decrees, each bein:r sixty-nine and
a half miles 18,446, 74&573,7S3,0Sr..315
grains ; or 3,SS3.401,82I times round the
world.

The Vnlae orRailwfiym
In a recent opinion of Judge Paine, in
the Supreme Court of Wisconsin iu a
question involving the right of couuties,
tve, to levy taxes in aid of the build
ing of railroads, occurs the following jar
agrajih: Railroads are the great public high
ways of the world, along which the gi
gantic currents of trade and travel con
tinually jour highways, compared with
which the most magnificent highways of
antiquity dwindle into insignificance.
They are the most marvellous invention
of modern times. They have done more
to develop the the resources, to stimulate
the industry, reward the lalmr, and jiro
mote the general comfort and ju-osperity
of the country, than any other, and ier
haps.than all other more physical causes
cotubhied. There is not a man,
woman or child, w hose interest or com
fort is not iu some degree subserved by
them. They bring to our doors the pro
ductions of the earth. They enable us
to anticipate and protect the seasons.
They scatter the productions of the press
and of literature broadcast through the
Country with amazing rapidity. There
is scarcely a want, wish" or aspiration of
the human heart which they do not in
some manner help to gratify. They pro
mote tho pleasures of social life and of
friendship; they bring the skilled j.hysi
cian swiftly from a distance to attend the
sick or wounded, and, enable the absent
friend to bo present at the bedside of
the dying. 'I bey have more than real
ized the fabulous conception of the east
ern imagination, which pictured the
Gencii as transportincr inhabited palaces
through the air. They take a train ofj
inhabited palaces from the Atlantic coast i
and with marvellous swiftness deposit it
on the shores washed by the Pacific sea.
In war they transport the armies and
supplies of the government, with the
greatest celerity, and cany forward, as
it were, on the wings of the wind, relief
and comfort to those who are stretched
bleeding and wounded on the field of
battle.
And yet. notwithstanding all these tre
mendous results, notwithstanding the
States, couuties, towns and ciues of the
country, fully appreciating their iiiijiort
anee. have been bending all their ener
gies to the construction of these great
highways notwithstanding the General
Government has donated vast tracts of
its domains to aid in the object we are
now told that the public has not a suffi
cient interest in the construction of a
railroad to sustain an exercise of the
taxing j lower, because, forsooth, in ex
ecuting the great juiblic work the State
has made use of the agency of a private
corporation, and left to it the conijiara
tive'y petty ami uuimjiortant jro(it to be
derived from the actual operation of the
road! I confess that such a conclusion
is so utterly in conflict with what I had
supposed to lie the settled law so inad
equate to what seem to mo the real mer
its of the great question involved, that it
is a matter of astojii.diment that it could
have been adopted by any mind.
A paper down in Massachusetts has an
essay on the subject of "spongimr on the
printer," which fits any latitude and lon
gitude "o well that we copy a sjioeiiuen
paragraph, it says:
'A great many societies, associations,
and ieop!e generally, have queer notions
alxmt jointers. They think we can juiff
and publish for nothing. Let us give
you an instance: A man is desirous of
advertisinir, and after making a contract
for a half a dozen lines, and beating us
down to half price, he wants to know if
we can't throw in an editorial uff, which
in itself is worth more than the adver
ment. Would it not be as sensible to
ask a grocer to throw in a pound of
coffee because you had bought a jiound
of tea! Peojde forget that ink and ja
per cost, money, and they seem astonish
ed if wo ask jiay for an obituary notice,
a card of thanks, a tribute of respect, or
a jtersonal communication or anything
that only interests a few and not the gen
era! reader. They forget it is the print
er's ink that makes nine-tenths of their
immense fortune; and lastly they forget
even to thank you for working for noth
ing, by gratuitously puffing their busi
ness or serving the public. Did you ever
hear anybody, or any corporation thank
ing an editor for what he has done?
Guess not."

Our Ovt l'n tilts.
Let us not be over curious about the
failings of others, but take account of
our own; let us bear in min i the excel
lencies of other men. while we reckon
ujion our own faults, for then shall we
be well pleasing to God. For he who
looks at the faults of other?, and at his
own excellences is injured in two ways ;
by the latter he is carried uji to arro
gance through the former he fills into
listlessness. For when he jwrceives that
such a one has sinned, very easily he
will sin himself; when he jiereeives he has
in aunlit excelled, very easily he lieeomcs
arrogant. He who consigns to oblivion
his own excellences, and looks at his feel
ings only, when he is a curious engineer
of the excellences, not the sins of others,
is profitable in many ways. And how?
I will tell you. When he sees that such
a one hath done excellently, he is raised
to emulate the same; when he sees that
he himself hath sinnc-d. he is rendered
humble and modest. If we act thus and
regulate ourselves, we shf.ll be able to
to obtain the good things which we are
promised through the loving kindness of
our Lord Jesus Christ.

The moustache movement among the

dress attainable in (ho first pl.tee, and the
anxiety under which the lady-wearer goes
about, lest some careless foot should set

accident send a sj ot or rend a hole in the
shining fabric. It seems to say, "My

Stins'roke. like hydrojihobia, is always
a doubtful subject as to what it really is,
and how caused. The forms of medical
treatment in tiie ease of sunstroke are as
varied as the theories' advanced of the
character of th-; malady. -
Iu England, such ca?e.s are considered
I as arising trom direct over-heating ot the
blood, and treated accordingly. At home
some doctors consider it a poisoning of
the blond, and follow a treatment analo
gous to that in snake-poisoning. Indian
doctors believe that sunstroke is occa
sioned by the direct action of the sun's
rays upon the hair, or perhaps njmn the
mcih'lbi ohhtnqntn. But how is this ef
fect caused? "What rays of the sun thus
affect? It cannot lw the illuminating
rays, nor cau it be the heat for firemen,
puddlers, glass-blowers, etc., endure
much greater heat, and at still greater
disadvantage. But in the solar rays we
have the "actinic" or chemical rays, and
it is the actinic w hich acts most power
fully on organic nature, and the actinic

A young woman arrived at the Bar

night last, who stated that she was from
Lincoln, w here she had gone to meet her
husband, but he having left there before

to Council Rluffs. On Monday morning
she was found on the floor of her room
almost insensibl?, and was carefully
taken care of by symjiathizing' females in
the house.
An examination of a trunk in her
room disclosed the body of a tlead infant
which she stated was lom in Lincoln
and was thus stored away until she could
reach Council Bluffs, where she desired
to bury it. But a physician who was
called in decided that her statement could
not be true, and he finally decided that
she had given it birth on Sunday night
after her arrival. .
She is now lying very sick, but has
the best medical aid and symjiatizing attendants.-

The following is indoubtedly the ori
gin of our curious national nick-name.
At the commencement of the war of
sl2, one Elbert Anderson, universally
known as "Fncle Sam," was employed
to examine the stores coming into the
hands of the army superintendent from
those of the contractors, and each cask
or package, as-it passed insjiection, was
marked wish his own initials and also
those of the government E. A. , U. S..
which the men in his employ declared
liiivst stand for "Elliert Auderson, Uncle
Sam." Some of these wags shortly af
terward, following the recruiting drum,
carried the joke with them into the army,
where it spread like wildfire, and soon
became very jcpular throughout the
country, whose initials of U. S. have
ever since lieen t ranslated into "Uncle
Sam." It is strange that this queer na
tional cognomcu should have been given
and the nation it signifies, subsequently
jreserved. by two men who had borne
the same nick-name from their boyhood,

Singing is a great "institution." It
oils the wheels of care, supplies the place
of sunshine. A: man who sings has a
good heart ".(nder his shirt-front. Such
a man not only works more willingly, but
works more con.-tantly. A singing cob
bler will earn as much again money as
one who gives away to low fjiirits and
indigestion. Avaricious men never sing.
The man who attacks singing throws a
stone at the head of hilarity, and would,
ifhe could, rob June of its roses and Au
gust of its meadow-lark. Singing pro
motes health, strengthens the voice, the
organs of the throat and lungs, and pre
vents or cures consumption. Singing is
an excellent agtnt fbr promoting mental
hygiene.
The most stubborn resistance to the
Woman Suffrage movement is made not
by men but by women. The majority
of woman are happy, and their hapju
ness makes them conservative. The lady
who said she was "too fond of being
taken care of " to make a noise aliout
her abstract rights, was a ' sample of
those of her . sex, and their number is
large, who think too much of men to vex
them with threats of social and political
refi rms. Such care more for the rights
which bring them a lover or a husband
than for the right of voting.

Both fell, of course, to the ground, and
