IMPORTANT TO BOTH SEXES There exists a false delicacy and pride amounting almost to prudery, in regard to con sulting a physician in certain maladies. The medical faculty recognixe it, and are dumb. Those of the public afflicted acknowledge the truth of it, and suffer in silence. The province of this circular is to present the subject in its true light. Hundreds of lives are lost every year by dis eases which have been neglected or improperly treated. In the case of young men there seems no apology, and yet in many cases they attempt to cure themselves with vile nostrums, and in consequence shorten their lives, and pass the miserable remnant of existence with their blood filled with the poison of a stifled, but not cured disease, which must inevitably be transmitted to the third and fourth generations. With young women there seems some excuse, and yet their utmost eecresy will not conccul the fuels. Any intelligent physician who wulks these streets can recognize among the ladies, by certain infallibio tokens known to him, and of w hich the suflcrcrs are often totally ignorant, tho ravages of that wide spread scourge, tho w hites. Any intelligent physician can point our in his daily walks scores of this and kindred complaints, in both sexes, the existence of which they cannot ignore. The educated sufferer knows the physician can detect this. Tho phy sician knows that the sufferer knows it. and yet. in nine cases out of ten, the aHlicted individual fails to consult thm man wKom he knor.'d Is cog nizant, both of tao complaint and tho means of cure. Know ing that health can be restored, and who can restore it, they deliberately allow them selves to become mere wrecks of humanity, and to transmit diseased constitutions to their descendants. To Young: Men. In every community tbero are vast numbers of young men alHietod with -cminal weakness, nocturnal emissions, lassitude, debility, und the other attendant symptoms of secret disorder, undermining the constitution, and totally de stroying its victim, menially Knd physically, sooner r later. The disease is progressive, and, if not checked, dizxiness, los of memory, un controllable procrastination in business, pains in the back, side and knees, yellowish drool from tho mouth during sleep, and failure of all physical energy soon follows. From this stage is a series of short steps to an early grave, or the confinement of u lunatic it.-ylum. Many of these young men have responded to advertisements of so-called Benevolent "Asso ciations," or unscrupulous quacks in distant cities, and after having been swindled of their money by one and soother, have abandoned hope and pronounced themselves incurable. l)r. Stodd:trd practices on the "no cure, no pay" principle, and proposes to forfeit $1,000 and all fees if ho fails to cure any case of seminal weakness where his treatment and directions are followed. He uses no secret remedies none but vegetable medicines, and his peculiar treat ment must receive the endorsement cf all wbo intelligently pursue iu To Married Ladies.

EverytKxIy is familiar with the above names as appli(xl to political factions in the State of New York ; but the origin of the names is not so generally known. The factions were all offsets from the Democratic party but originated on dif ferent eoca.sions. The term Loco-foco had its origin as follows. The Dem ocratic party in the city of New York, some forty years ago, was divided in two factions. The one embracing the Tam many leaders and their adherents was in favor of the system of banking then in operation in that State, together with a partiality for some other State, and also city measures as well as national that were repulsive to the rank and file of the party. The latter attended a meeting in force in Tammany Hall, and succeeded n organizing the nioeting by the election of officers of their own stamp. The old party, determined not to be out-gener aled, turned off the gas, or put out the lights and left the meeting in darkness. This' was before the introduction of the present style of matches for kindling fire, Then a kind of match was in use called the loco-foco match, but on account of its inconvenience it was not as commonly carried in the pocket as are those of the present day. Yet some of the party left in darness by the stratagem of the Tam many Chief, happen to have some of the matches on hand, and before the leaders and their friends had reached the street the hall was illuminated again, and the meeting re-opened with cheers that shook the old wigwam to its foundation. The old leaders attempted to weaken the in fluence of the new party by giving them a paltry nick-name, and they accordingly styled them the Loco-Foco party a name suggested by the manner in which the hall was lit up. The leaders of the new faction again flanked the Tammany Chief, by largely accepting the name, and proudly parading it on their banners, and through their press. The name was af terwards applied, by the old whigs, to the entire Democratic party. It was done by some as a slang name, by others because the Radical principles of that New York faction gave a tinge to subse quent Democratic national politics. Barnburners and Hunkers. These fac tions had their origin, if we are not mis taken, a few years after the birth of the loco-focos. The name of barn-burner was occasioned in the following manner. There was in the Democracy of the State of New York a considerable faction dissatisfied with their party leaders. Some believed them corrupt, and others envied them the success they had so curing position in the party ; and accor dingly there was a vigorous onslaught on the leaders. Hoffman, I think, from Herkimer county, was a chief among the assailants, and in a celebrated speech, he narrated a speech of an old Dutchman whose barn was infested with rats. The story ran somewhat in this style, "Mine got, exclaimed the dutchman, wat shall I do ! der rats eats mine corn and mine wheat aud mine oats, and I gets nothing. ' nis neighbors suggested moving the barn as a remedy, and the Dutchman re plied that he had tried it and the rats moved at the same time and to the same place. Other remedies were suggested, but none met the approval of the old man. After a few minutes, apparently in deep thought, the Dutchman rubbing his hands in glee exclaimed, "I beats him ; I burns the tarn barn." And the barn was accordingly burned. The Dem ocratic party, said Hoffman, is like the old man's barn ; and I, though a Dem ocrat from my youth, would willingly see the party organization consumed, if the political rats would perish in the con flagration. This sentiment of Hoffman secured to his faction the name of "Barn burners." The other faction was imme diately, as an off-set, christained tho Hunkers. This name had its origin from as apparently trivial cause as the others. The game of "Hide and Seek" as known among our children is called among the young, in the old Dutch districts of New York by the name of "Ilunkover." The boy who blinds, and afterwards seeks the other is called the. "Hunker," and the goal is called the Hunk. To make the propriety of the name, as applied in politics, more apparent, we will imagine the game among the boys as in full blast That little chap with his eyes wide open, and every muscle awake to action and ready for a race is the "Hunker." The others are hidden behind boxes, barrels or anything that will afford con cealment The "Hunker" cautiously peeps in the dark places, and the instant he discovers a boy he bounds off for the 'Hunk" with the speed of a race horse. If he gets there before his competitor he is "all Hunk ; but if he is beaten he is obliged to "blind" again. But he is seldom beaten, for he is constantly on the watch, he is on his feet, and ready for a spring, and withal a little nearer the Hunk than his opponent, while on the other hand the "hider" for concealment as obliged to middle up in a little bundle behind the barrel, or lay himself out flat behind a clump of weeds, and conse quently his race is half lost before he can get his machinerey in running order. Such is the working of the boys game, how for "Hunkover" in politics. j tAt the time to which these occurrcn s refer, office seeking in New York, mong what was afterwards termed, by their opponents, the "Albany Regen cy," was a science. They had their grand movers at the State capital, and their deputy grand movers in every jpounty and diftrict in the State and their (organization irnd discipline were com plete. They wire-pulled the primary meetings, and the result of the primary meetings determined the character of the county and State gatherings. And as they cunningly manipulated the nom inations from the people up to the high est office for the benefit of their own clique, so they secured for the same class every appointment in the State by wire pulling every appointing power. The party was devided in two distinct classes, the one class could never get in office, and the other class could'nt be got out The Regency understood office seeking as an education, as a profession, as a military drill, and were always wide awake for the best chances. Lake the "Hunker" in the boys game they always moved with caution, and always kept the inside track, and always got the start in the race for office, and consequently as the Imys would say came in 'all Hunk'. It was against such a combination that Hoffman waged his war, and they were the political rats that he was anxious to exterminate, even by burning the Dem ocratic barn. It is a long time since these occurences and they are only narrated from memory, and in some minor points as to date they may be inaccurate but the facts as to ori gin of the names are correct The name Locofoco will eventually be lost, for there is nothing in the name alone to perpetuate its distance; but the name of 'Hunker' will live as long as there is an office seeker in any party to merit the epithet, and from present in dications the breed is not running out As regards the name 'Barnburner,' that will occasionally be revived and again lost; for it is not often that a man with Hoffmans position and influence is found to wage an exterminating warfare against the organization of his own par ty or in other words, is vrilling to burn the barn to kill the rats; and as the name will be revived only at such times it will have a spasmotic existence. To sum up, "Locofoco" will eventually die out, "Barnburner" will come and go as erratic an! uncertain in appearance and departure as a comet. But 'Hun kers" will be always with us undiminih ed in numbers and eternal in existence. WHERE ARE TIIET. We propounded the above question some weeks since, stating at the time that enactments of the Legislature which were duly signed by the Governor did'nt appear among the printed laws. We refer as an especial insta nce, to the case of an enactment entitled "An Act to de fin tb right of occupying Claimant," Since propounding the question, we have seen Secretary Kennard, who assures us that this Act never came into his ' pos session. Now, we know the bill passed both houses, and was reported approv ed and signed by the Governor, which the journals will show unless there has been as great rascality with them as with some other things. If this bill never came into the hands of the Secretaiy of Stite, then where is it? Where did it go to; or is it still in the hands of the Governor. It may hurt somewhere to have these enquiries made, but we pro pose to have them answered by somebody or else make it very unpleasant for who ever tampered with these things. This is not the only case of either neglect or rascality on the part of somebody, and it is but j ustice to the innocent that the guilty should be brought to light " We believe that nine tenths, at least, of the members of the Legislature will agree with us that this matter should be hunt ed up, especially as an effort is being made to lay the entire blame upon the memlers themselves. We therefore call upon any member of the Legislature to give to the public any information he may be posessed of that will throw light upon the subject, no matter who it may hit We do not pretend to deny that Ihe Sen ate and House may be at fault in some things, neither will we claim that our own action was faultless in all respect; but we do claim for ourselves an honest intent, and are willing to hear whatever of censure or credit attaches to our action and propose that others shall do the same. Who can give us light in regard to the whereabouts of the law refered to above. Will some one answer, or will we be driven to the expedient of askintr direct questions. Where was it last seen: THE FBENIDEXT Arrived at Plattsmouth yesterday even ing, about six, o'clock. A portion of the escort stopped at the Platte Valley House, kept by that popular landlord, John Ross. Don't raisunderstand us. now, and think it was the President of the United States, or President "F. A. White, Esq., of the Midland," for it was none of these, but the steamer "President," recently purchased by the B. & 31. R. R. Co. in Nebraska, to transact their business at this place. She is a powerful double engine boat, drawing three feet of water, and calculat ed to tow two barges loaded with cars. She brought with her one barge large enough to to carry three box cars or two passenger cars. She came up against the current -of the Missouri with this barge in tow as rapidly as any boat that runs the river. She will be set to work in a few days crossing iron, ties, locomo tives, construction cars, etc., for the road from Plattsmouth to Ft Kearney and the Pacific ocean. u . 1 Work on the B. & M. R. R.,runnins west from Plattsmouth is progressing rapidly. About six hundred men are at work on different points along the line. A large number of ties are already on the ground and the iron for the road will commence arriving during the latter part of this week. The people of Platts mouth are rejoicing over the prospects of an early connection with Lincoln. Aeic. Dan was up here and taw the thing with his naked eve. RAKE CHANCE. ) S. Duke, Esq., has surveyed an addi tion to the city, and offers inducements to purchasers that cannot fail to please. He offers a certain number of lots gratis or what is the same as gratis, for the sura often dollars each, and then pro poses to dispose of a large portion of the balance at very moderate figures. This addition embraces some of as fine loca tions as the town affords, which will be in the heart of the city in a fow years. Sec advertisement THE TRl'JfK ROAD. We see an item going the rounds of the papers to the effect that the contract for constructing the above named road as far as Brownville has been already let We only hope this may be true, but have serious doubts. We do not believe the report has any better foundation than the one in relation to the five: foot vein of Cannel coal at this place, nor hardly as good, for there has been a man digging a hole in the ground here. THE COAL. lne I'lattsmouth Uoul Elmers made a strike this morning, in consequence of the failure of the proprietors to fur nish the necessary finances. The force consisted of three men, and we believe they have worked two or three days each Whether or not there is any coal here, we are unable so say, but presume the supply is very limited, and whether the men who have been working would find coal in paying quantities is a question whicli they alone can answer, but we are induced to believe the whole thing was gotten up for a sell, for the purpose of making money out of eastern men who might be drawn into the Tndle inno cently. We hope tho prospecting will be done and that coal in paying quantities may be found. But the correspondent of tho Omaha Herald who wrote that it had already been found in paying quan tities, and that he had seen it, evidently told a whopper, probably for pay. Resolutions passed by Olive Branch Lodge No. 2 I. O. G. T. August A. D. 1809. WfiEREAs: Olive Branch Lodge hav ing made, application to the.

We have the estimates of ten or twelve different farmers in this county on the cost of raising wheat Comparing them together, we pet the tallowing, which is a little under the average: 10 bu. per acre cost per bu. 84 eta 15 " " 61J cts 20 " " 50 cts 25 " " 431 cts 30 " " 38 cts It is only where strict economy is prac ticed that the cost per bushel can be kept as low as the above. In estimatinj; the cost of plowing and sowing our informants varied from $1 90 to $3 per acre. Cost of seed varies from $125 to $3 50. The cost of shocking and stacking we have calculated a little higher when it y ielded 20 bushels per acre than when it yielded ten. Thrash ing wo count 6 cents per bushel. We made no allowance for hauling to market nor for rent of ground. Pawnee Tribune A most shameful and outrageous affair took place on board the steamer Lady Grace on Saturday night last, while she wa9 returning from the prize fight below Plattsmouth. The captain, durine the up trip, requested the man who char tered the boat to advance him part pay ment. The fellow said he had no money. Some of the crowd took the matter in hand and concluded they had been groes ly insulted. The notorious Grasshopper bam led the crowd and at once raised a muss. They attacked the Captain and on tho scene presented, for naif an hour, was worse than pandemonium itself, The crowd, led by two women the only females on board began jiulJing down the state-room .doors, kicking in the pannels, smashing .windows, tearing up beds and bedding, jerking off cabin or naments, jammg holes in the root, de molishing furniture, and in fact destroy ing everything they could lay their hands on. Drunken oaths, fierce yells, hooting, howling, drinking, obscenity and blas phemy only formed an accompaniament to the demoniac scene. Everything Iortable was pitched into the river. . Af ter damaging everything within reach, the furious crowd again searched out the Captain, and this second time tore his clothing nearly off, knocked him down, stamped and kicked him until lite was nearly extinct Tom Russell, the man arrested several weeks sinco for stabbing a man named Donnell lias leen captured as one of the principals. "Grasshopper Sam," a most notorious character, and Dan Leary, two other leadi-rs, have both jumped the town,-no doubt having heard that warrrarits were aL-o i.-ued for their arrcM- Itrpvhliean.
