The Council Bluffs Evening Times hits the bridcre farce a square one between the eyes. If they only had "F. A. White, lLq., rre&iJent, etc.," to take charge of that bridge they might do something : "'Another rumor to the effect that the U. 1. bridge across the Missouri is toLe built immediately, is gaining credence. This work has been started (?) at lea.st one hundred tiroes. Why it has not been carried through is easily explained by the initiated. This, the one hun dred and first, and we hope, last time, will undoubtedly bring about the con lummation so devoutly wubed. " BRIDGE WAXIER. The rise in the river during the last twenty four hours has been nearly three feet. The landings which have been built for the freight transfer boats, arc nil washed out, an I yes-terJay no cars were transferred across either way. There already :w-ou initiated neatly 400 lauded cars on tliN s: .; of the river, and if the rise continr. m Knot her day, and washes out the bank as- bad as it has in the !at twenty-four lirmrs. there will be not less than six hundred leaded cars on this side of the river awaiting trans portation. We hope that some ar rangements m:v be consummated where by the work on the bridge unv be pushed forward vigorously, and coniploted iu the bhorcest possible time. C. B. Nonpar eil, 10. All that difficulty and trouble will be done away with as soon as the great through route betweeu the two oceans, via Piattornoutli and Fort Kearney is completed.

Citv Chronicle If wc are not mistaken a prominent lawyer of Nebraska City claimed, at the time of the passage of the bill granting those lands, that it did not give the com pany rested rights farther than they ac tually built roads in accordance with the provisions of the bill, and he was ex ceedingly anxious to have a slight cluing made so as to give them vested rights. Should his idea prove correct (as the .Jl Mmmro was not uiade a repeal of thi law would stop all further sub.-idics under the act. Xebranka. The following is a letter clipped from the Toledo Bind', and as it contains just tha facts we arc most anxious to bring public attention to, we copy it: Nebraska City, May G, 18T0. Editor Blade : Of all the States in this Union of thir y-seven, to-day, none is more justly and deservedly claiming the attention of the landless and the homeless than Nebraska. With an area of over 75,000 square miles, or a territory a fifth larger than the six New England States, and capable of sustaining a popu lation of from 5,OO0,.) to 6,000,000 in habitants, a soil as productive as can be found between the two great oceans that wash the shores of this continent and a climate unequaled for in illness and salu brity. Nebraska to-day presents the finest openings for immigration of any part of our wule-spreaJ anci aunieuve iana. Its central position in the country ita exceedingly rich and fertile lands its ever flowing stream its abundant sup ply of water and i:ne it.4 vast system llf . 1 I .

The settler here can build his home and surround and furni.-h it with the couifoits of life at less cost and in shorter time than almost anywhere else and it only needs a stout heart, patient and in dustrious hands for a man to speedily work his way to competence ana ease. Everything here Feems to favor the poor man striving for a home of his own. The cost of land is reasonable if purchased while thousands of acres are yet open to homestead or pre-emption, held in ftore by the government for the actual settler. The cost of cultivation is slight compared with other localities. Taxation is made as light as possible, there being no State debt whatever; while the laws of the State have been so carefully framed as to defend and protect the interests of the debtor rather than the creditor aid the resident settler rather than the non-resident speculator. To illustrate: In order to encourage as much as possible the settlement and improvement of this country, the law stipulates that for every acre cf land planted in forest trec3 $50 shall be drawn from the amount of assessable property, and for every acre planted in orchard or fruit tree3 $100 shall be so withdrawn. Thus, if a man's ftrm be house, barn, etc, with ten acres planted to orchard, and the Fame amount in forest trees the whole worth $4,000 yet so improved as to he valued at only the $11, with the additional advantage of $1,500 draw back, thus paying no taxes whatever in the rule, while the speculator owning property adjoining worth one-fourth as much pays taxes on the valuation, $11. Thus it is said that the law3 of . this State are arranged to ftvor the settlement of the country and discharge speculation in its lands to the injury and exclusion of Immigration. A residence of nearly two years here has convinced me that thousands scat tered throughout our country could do no better than to emigrate to this State. It is true that they might find themselves deprived of some of the comforts and luxuries of their Eastern homes, but a very few years of industry and economy would suffice to surround them with all and more than they ever possessed be fore. Under their own vine and &g tree, with a home of their own free from the avarice of landlords and the oppression of rich employers and sou.Iess corpora tions, they can here secure what there so many dream of, the quiet and rest, the comfort and luxury of independence and a dignified manhood.

The State Prison Inspectors, in ac cordance with tho law, on Monday last examined the plans submitted in pursu ance of their advertisement, and made the award to Mr. lluam roster, au architect of Pes Moines, Iowa. The following are the general features of Mr. Eoster's desigus. Commencing with the Warden's house, wc have a building 75x80 feet with basement and four stories.

The second Moors for hospitals, the third floors for he female prisoners. Extending riirht and left from these wings are the buildings containing the cells. These are each 50x223 and there are two rows of celis in each, 40 cells in a row and five tiers high, making 400 cells each, S00 in all. Each ceil is con structed of stone and can accomodate two prisoners.

An Infernal Crime. The New York Herald says : Tha crime charged against a man named Lange, a dealer in picture frames in this city, is one that should give him a pre-eminence in the criminal catalogue for diabolical intent. lie shipped a box in April last, on the New Orleans steamer and secured an insurance on it of one thousanu six hundred and fifty dollars, and the box proved to have been pre pare with explosive and inflammable material, and was only prevented from burning the ship by the watchfullness and activity of the captain. In the box were vessels of alcohol, gasoline and tur- Eentine, and fire was apparently to have een set to these by a chemical that would explode with slight friction. The friction was provided f r by mice shut in a box, who, in gnawing their way out, were to fire the train that might have destroyed the ship and Jill her company at sea. Here, then, is, if the charge prove true, a man who deliberately con trives that awful calamity, fire, on a ship at sea contrives the possible fright ful death of twenty vr thirty persons to secure the fcinall prize of sixteen hun dred dollars insurance money. He should be tried by a jury of sea captains and sui'ors. 1: is a remarkable coincidence that this crime was - attempted against the steamer George Washington, while some years since a crime of the same na ture was contrived in Lhc shipment of goods on the Mississippi steamer Martha Washington.

K ftiMM Abend, There is talk of introducing into the J United States Senate a "macnine ior in stantaneoua voting." This wonderful apparatus is thus described : "Each Semttor will have before him on his desk two kr obs, one marked yea, the other nay. Whichever he presses at the word "vote,' will be marked by punch ing a hole on a roll at the clerk's desk, (on one side or the other of his name) and the number of ayes and noes will be indicated on dial visible from every seat." ' A Democratic exchange suggests an improvement on this idea, and recom mends that we have gulta percha Sena tors. The suggestion is worthy of con sideration, and it is soruothiug to flatter our local pride that Kansas has ahead made some progress in that direction, having reached as far as the first syllable of the first word. Whether wc shall complete the leform next winter remains to bo seen. Kansas Commoniccalth. Our Board of Immigration. Why did not the gentlemen composing this honorable body refuse $150.00 for the advertisement of the Burlington & Missouri Iliver Railroad aud tax the State appropriation with the amount? This question is agitating the Omaha Ile pul.lican and ltulo Register. They say the IJ. & M. It. It. niap, is the only ad vertisement in the German and Scandi navian pamphlets issued by the Hoard, which h literally true. And why did they not insert more advcitising? Sim ply because no other corporation or busi ness firm oflered to pay the rates .uked for advertising in those pamphlets. That thev did not know advertising was solicited by the Board, is no excuse, for nearly every paper in the State published their circular number 3, entitled adver tisements. Now, the great trouble with those croakers, is simply, as a gentleman suggested in our hearing, this: they are endowed with a spitft of low-bred "cus seuness ' that prompts them to abuse every honest man that goes about his business without asking advice of them. lulls City Journal. How a Woman Keeps a Secret. It ii an old ouin upon women that they cannot keep secrets ; but the fact is they are the only part of humanity that can. A wile keeps a husband's secret incomparably saier than he does hers. e calculate that there is one drunken wife to about four hundred and niacty nine drunken husbands. In rambling, licentiousness, lying, cheating, bypocricyvJ covctousness, there is pretty tuuen tne same proportion. Yet of the four hun dred and ninety-nine wives, four hun dred conceal, cover up, silently endure the terrible secret ; while the one hus band mourns over his wife's frailty in the study of his pastor, and to the ear of his friend, and probably complains ot it to a court of law. It is the same between brother and sister. The secrets a wo man talks about are of the kind that are unimportant and mostly agreeable to hear. But of serious secrets the is as reticent as the rave. That is our ob servation, and in our various relations of physician, minister, and unordained law yer, we have had run for a great deal of observation. Baltimore Church Advo cate. . Lo! the poor Indian did not find much sympathy from General Washington, who in 1779 thus wrote to a Committee of Congress : "My ideas of contending with the In dians have been uniformly the same.

Han In a fll for Five Honrs un der Twouty reet or Stone Wall lie la itescued Alive. About half-past six o'clock on Tuesday evening, Mr. A. Southard went down into Esquire Frank's well for the pur jHise of getting a bucket that had been in the water for several days, and when down about twenty leet the wall fell in and buried him. Two of Mr. Frank's family were lowering him on" the well bucket, and as soon as the wall gave away, gave the alarm, and a large-crowd of people were at the scene in a few min utes. At this time there wa very little hope of rescue, although his voice could be distinctly heard from below. Judge Dundy and J. G. Good were first to go into the well for the relief of Mr. S , and were, when exhausted, relieved by others. The excitement was great, as would be naturally expected, but was greatly increased by the presence of his wife and children, who could hear his voice, without hopes of ever seeing him alive. All present, were of course beset by the moat terrible apprehensions, though his voice could be heard dis tinctly, urging the workmen to relieve him, still the work went ou, and about half past eleven the man was uncovered and drawn", as it were, from the jaws of a terrible death, aud restored to his family. He declare:, that with the ex ertion of a few uirly bruises, he is un hurt; and at the time of going to press is doing finely. Mr. Southard is a relative of Esquire Frank's family, and lately arrived at this place from Pennsylvania and has purchased a dwelling in town with a view to making it his permanent home. - It may not be improper to "mention the names, as near as we can ascertain. of those who risked their lives to rescue their fellow man, for they were indeed in almost as much danger a3 Mr. Southard they were: Judge Dundy, J.

Latter The Globe, in its last edition this cveuing, startled the community with the announcement that Charles Dickens had bceu seized with paralysis and was laying itinible at his residence, at Churchill, near Rochester in Kent. The news spread rapidly and created a mot profound regret, but worse was to come. Telegrams since received, an nounce the death of the great Novelist, a quartet past six last evening. Mr. Dickens was at dinner when lie was seized with a fit. Dr. Steele, for many years family physician of Dickens, was immediately called in and remained till nearly midnight ; considering the pa tient as getting worse nnd werse, it was deemed advisable to summon physicians from London. Tcleirrfms were promptly dispatched, and this morning several London physicians arrived at Gadshill ; a consultation was hsld and the case was at once pronounced hopeless. The pa tient sank gradually ana died at fifteen minutes past six this evening. Dickeii3 had been i li for feveral days but not se riously.

His people hav ing no food, go to hunt, and when they went out to kill game they were shot at. This made trouble, and the Indians get the blame, for they have no writers or papers. Mr. Hooper told Red Cloud more than 80,000 Mormons had crossed the Sioux country in the last twenty-two years, and they never lost a lite, an annual or a bale of goods until the railroad was built, since which they lost some property on the train. lted Cloud said he knew the Mormon. th?y always talked straight and dealt fairly with his people.
