'Two or three week? since we published
a communication touching the subject of
opening avenues to the south-west and
north-west, from a point on Main street
near Fifth. Since that time we have talked
with several well informed gentlemen of
the city, and nearly all a.Tce that the fu
ture of the city demands that some action
be taken immediately in regard to this
matter. As our streets are now laid out,
to get from the business portion of the
city to the country, or vice versa, oue
must make an indefinite number of right
angles, unless he is disposed to make
several perpendiculars, neither of which
are pleasant to contemplate, much less
to execute. By laying out avenues, or
street.-, through the two principal ra
vines entering the city from the north
west and south-west, we can securo good
approaches to thecity, without expend
ing thousands of dollars in grading
streets, and then other thousands in
grading the lots ready for use. The
opening of thehe avenues at the present
time would interfere but very little with
improved property ; but the time is not
far distant in the fuUire wlien it would
cost a vast amount of money to pay for
opeuing these necessary approaches.
We must have good approaches from
the country if we expect to boeome a
commercial point, and we believe these
lines we have mentioned could lie opened
now at a much less expense than it would
take to grade approaches to the city
by any other lines, and theu they would
bo so much superior to any lines it is
politic to get over the hills and acros-i
raviiics. Ve hope thoe interested will
i-Kik ;;t the matter carefully, and let us
hoar from them.

There is neither sen -e nor "Tigorous hon

of a rallhvt and untiring ennui?. Un
less Republicans will learn from the Mows
dealt thm by their alert and uncompro
mising olitical foes, that the treat se
cret of success is in unity of action in
sinking all minor objects before a grander
and more satisfactory one of defeating an
untrustworthy political party, unless they
will learn to profit by such' lessons as
California has shown us, we may expect
to see devolution of party tics which is
only another word for defeat of Repub
lican principal.. Tt is wrong to flatter
ourselves that, Phoenix-like, we can
arise from the. ashes id' defeat, and win
victories. We should profit by the very
discipline of the party which we fight,
and learn that by perfect union among
ourselves alone we insure triumph; but
by lukewarm action, local differences,
and aiiry denunciation on ictty points,
we are doing precisely what every demo
crat prays for we are undoing the work
ofthe last eight years. This constant
hammering ofthe democrats upon the
outer rim of Republicanism is breaking
a piece off hero and there; and who, we
ask, is to repair these flaws and injuries?
Shall we look to the would be leaders or
rather disorganizers who are cheek by
jowl with democrats who call them
selves republicans, and sell out for petty
offices with a party they work with se
cretly, but pretend to abhor? Let re
publicans realize the condition of the
nation let republicans remember that
the Fifteenth Amendment is not yet a
law of the hind. We have lost the assent
of Califormia to this important republi
can measure through want of vigilance,
and that same cry "there is no danger.''
There are still six States needed to make
the Amendment law. Can we get
them? If we fritter away principles be
fore local jeaiouses, purely, we cannot
hope to sutrceed. We must fight demo
cracy to day with as solid a front as
ever. Under no circumstances can a
teriijorary democratic victor- be pardon
able, when brought alout by a sacranVj
of principle, and a want of working ea
ergy on the part of the republicans.
Let every voter believe now as he or his
friends did in the days of the Gratid Old
Army of the Uniiyij when every soldier
thought the destiny of this nation de
pended oo his doing his whole duty un
tireiugly and unflinchingly. At every
election we should bury the common
enemy of this Union "perjured demo
cracy"' under larger and larger repub
lican majorities. We can do this if we
but half try to do our whole duty to the
country a duty second only to that we
owe to (rod.

"The State Sueriritcndeiit of Schools
is out with a full list of text books rec
ommended for use in our common schools,
and for ought we know is a well selected

that wo have never had a sight of them
and in the absence of information to the
contrary suppose them to !e the best.
Some of our friends the Omaha Herald
and Douglas county Superintendent
among the number are disjioscd to
make war on Prof Ben Is and the new
text-books, and state a list of object ions,
none of which are against the books se

and other officials. We cannot imagine
these gentlemen would pursue such a
course merely through political or per

made are proven clearly we shall , le

malicious assuk on the reputation of our
officials through party jealousy. Give
the facts or retract." .
We copy the above from the Fromont
Tribune. Oar coiemprary ofthe Trib
une is in error in saying that the Doug
fas County Superintendent is making
war uqon Mr. Leaks ou account ofthe
selection he has made. The communi
cation which appeared in our columns
over the signature of "County Superin
tendent," was written by a book agent,
and was inserted as a p:;id advertisement.
Mr. Walker, onr efficient Superintend
ent, never saw it till it appeared in the
Republican. It was a fraud on the
public to sign the article "County Su
perintendent," and doubtless misled
many others besides our friend ofthe
Tribune. But it is on a par with the
iceneral transactions of these book agents.
As a general rule they are dead beats
and shysters, and ready to say or do any
thing, no matter how abused, to forward
their pecuniar' interests. Knaves them
selves, they are ready to charge "fraud

The hue and cry against his actiou Iris

pubUatH. The Century Plaint.
Tho much talked of and celebrated
century plant arrived her" on Wednes
day, but owing to the fact t hat theTem
tieranee Convention was in session in
lower Farwell Hall, the curiosity was not
taken from its box, which is a big one,
four feet wide by twenty feet in length.
The removal of the plant to the hnlJ re
quired a deal of labor, about a score of
men lieing engaged in getting it in posi
tion fbr exhibition. The plant is nine
teen feet high, and the ro;ts spread live
feet from the trunk. Of course the ut
most care was necessary hi its removal
here and subsequent handling. In order
to take it from the earth a! the nurseries
of the Messrs. Fre-t, in Rochester, N.
Y., a box of strong timber was pu; into
the ground around the roujt of the plant,
and iron rods inserted in h:!es in the box
so that it could be lifted out of its bed.
This being completed, the plant was put
on board the e ir, and carried through
with the utmo.-t care.
I hiring yesterday afternoon the work
men were i tig aged in getting the Centu
ry, and other beautifui ants, bro ight
with it, in position, and Mr. Moody, who
has the exhibition in charge, announces
that the hall will be open this afternoon
to spectators.
Ihe botanical fraternity have been
much astonished and elr.'ed over this
natural curiosity. It is the only Ao'ivc
Americana folio Vartrtflrta which has
ever blossomed in this country. It is
commonly known as the Century plant,
but is better understood as a stnpeu
leavcd native Oleo. O tilers, similar to
it, have matured in this country, but
have never flo vered. This plant is noM'
"o years old, and was pi0eha-ed in the
yenr lHOy. by the Hon. John Greig, of
Canandaigua, New Voik. t Prinec'.
Garden. Flushing, Iong Island. It wa
then about ten years old. It was put
in Messrs. Frost A Co.'s greenhouse in
Isot'., and has I men in their charge ever
since. The flowering was first, observed
on tire '2b of April last, and the average
daily growth since that time has
been about three inches. The plant con
tains thirty leaves, averaging six feet
six inches in length. The circumference
ofthe plant is thirtyd mr feet. J he
flower-stein is four inches iu diameter,
and has reached a height of thirteen
feet. No adequate idea of its magnitude
can be formed, and it niitst be viewed to
be appreciated.

their virtue, so Augustus parades his de

to write under it "thiij is a horse,' so
Augustus is compelled occasionally tore

Those editors whose1 loyalty was never

to assert their fidelity to the Union. As
pure and virtuous women have no cause

A singular method of making butter
has Ltefy come into extensive use in
Franc1. The process consists in placing
the cream in a linen bag .of moderate
thickness, which is carefully closed ; then
burying the bag about a foot ;u:d a half
deep in the earth and allowing it. to re
main from twenty-four to twenty-five
hour. After the expiration of this-period
the cream is found to have becemc
bard, ami it is then taken up by mean--of
a wooded beat-r int sai;di pieces, and
enough water poured into it to wash out
the butter inilai. To pre vent any mix
ture of earth it is advisab!" to inclose tho
bag in a seconl one of larger size and
coarser quality.

Quite an excitement was gotten up in

and he went on. Directly he returned
and enqnired the way to Lincoln. After
being told, he went dovrn to the creek,
built a fire, and was there when Mr. N. '

morning. h.r.vver. it was for. n l that t wo
horses were missing, opo belonging to Mr.
