"LAT1SM0UTH NEBRAKSA., THURSDAY, FEB. 23. 1871. Uallrvaxla em Aerlealtur. The full effect of railroads upon our farming population and upon their habits of lifts, roo-ies of farming Linds of crops, etc., I truppof-e can hardly now be estimated. Their general political effect in uniting and assimilating the parts and 5eople of every county, however much cprecated by lovers of the curious and unique hi the developments of human nature, is one to be rejoiced at by pa triots and philanthropists. Human na ture loses its narrowness of thought and its bigotry, and advances made in any department of human thought or practi cal life spread rapidly, and the general advancement of civilization goes on with accelerating speed. I have seen it inti mated that the unification of Germany, which we may now perhaps regard as substantially aerompHshed, is more the result of railroads facilitating intercourse betwee her petty States than of any master-strokes of Prussian statesman ship ; and no doubt as time advances, and these iron ways of traffic and travel penetrate the by-places of Europe, wo hall find them an influence more potent for peace, good-will, and general pro gress than any, or perhaps all other causes combined. Travelers tell us, somewhat regretfully, that the charac teristic costumes, manners and dialects, of the formerly isolated rural districts are rapidly di?appeariug, and peoples, dress, manners and language, becoming homeogeneous. The end of this process when all Asia in girt with railways even to the extent that India is to-day, when the African Central and I'atagonian Shorelines run through trains without change of cars, can be only partially and imperfectly imagined, but I more than half believe that the "thousand years of peace" will eee the land gut with rail ways and the ocean-depths with the mag netic wires, and that another iron age will brinz the uolitisal millenium. But I started to speak of the effects of railways upon American agriculture rather than upon general civilization. The topic is less pleasing in some of its more immediate aspects, though not, I cresume. in its more reniate consenuen ces. It brings in unpleasant thoughts of the railroad gamblers and swindlers who have abused their trusts as railway offi cers to plunder the people, and even the stockholders who elected them. It sug gests freight charges that consume the fanner's crop tiefore it can reach tide water, and express rates that leave a very narrow margin of profits, if any to the fruit-grower. The producer and the consumer are taxed, sometimes plun dered, to support extravagant and un warranted expenses of management, and to pay usurious rates of interest on watered stock. Such is the visible pres ent, with which all honest men are at war in railroad management, behind which it is sometimes difficult to discern the future advantage of a system so in iquitously managed in some of its parts. Yet the advantages of railways to the agriculturist are numerous and indisputa ble. I do not reckon one of them to be, though many would, the additional fa cility with which the farmer can despoil his land of its better constituents in the shape of grain, and send it to enrich the fields of 2sew or Old England. But the increased facility of exchange, whereby each part of the country is enabled to grow what it can grow best, and send it to less favored sections in quantity, even though perishable in its nature, is a de cided advantage. It is no small mutual benefit to Delaware and New England that the peaches of the former State can be placed in the markets of the latter in a few hours. It is well for Illinois, as well as for New York, that the fat bul locks of the Sucker State can have so rapid, and, compared with earlier meth ods of carriage, so cheap a transit to the metropolis. And these are only speci mens of a great variety of instances that might be adduced. Then there is the advantage of a more general equalization of opportunities. All men are, in one sense, near the mar ket, and the farmer near the great cities or towas docs not have the same relative superiority that he once did, except in the 'ae of very bulky products. The daily or weekly account of markets reaches one man but a few hours later than another; and the new ideas and new improvements in farm implements, seeds, or live stock are spread rapidly over wide extents of territory. Thus, a more homogeneous, more intelligent, and advanced agriculture is the result, and no part of the country suffers at the expense of another. I see that the Illi nois correspondent of the Countn Gen tleman, whoe ideas are always worth noting, whether we agree with them or not, takes the ground thr t the ton ns arc not going to thrive as well as the cities, under the new order of railways. I have seen something of this kind indicated in the arguments of others, who suppose a town loses its advantage in being made a station upon a railroad, itrstead or a terminus. But whether this be so or not, which I doubt, if it prove anything, it i3 the welcome fact that the present " necessary evil of commercial towns may yet pass away, and future aggregation of human beings, based upon a higher law ot self-interest than that of trade, may take their place- Railways tend, perhaps, to special rath er than mixed farming, because of the facility of exchange and the greater ease with which the farmer can dispose of a large amount of one staple. And while, in view of many results, I wod strongly doprecate the growing of a single crop, yet there is aa opposite extreme which may be avoided, and a greater simplicity of management reached than some of the advocates of mixed farming would adept. Thus railways have created nu merous exclusively iruit tarms in South ern Illinois. Many of these have been nlanted exclusively to one kind of fruit, as the peach or pear. The result is often, perhaps generally, disastrous trom this extreme tendency. Yet, a fruit farm, planted 6 m to furnish fruit all the year round strawberries, raspber ries, gooseberries, currants, blackberries, peaches, pears and apples, all in their order can hardly in any season make a total failure. A similar variety within a fixed ranze may be allowable in a stock farm, perhaps even in a grain farm, if the inexorable law ot reuoenng back to the land that takeu from it, in the shape of grain, in the new form of a proper fertilizer, bo observed. But tha future farmer, whatever else he be, will be wonderfully different from the farmer of the past. He will in the railroad age now dawning upon us be a quicker moving and quicker thoughted TltU.ll He will need steam ploughs, and other appliances beyond the means of moat farmers, ana cenc win come w operation in farming, or at least in the um of implements, ramihanty with pecialitiee will make hun more of an A'intr y, of yesterday? W. C. Star King, when asked to define the daflerence between Lniversalists and UniS, replied that "Umerlita believed that God was too good to damn men eternally, and the Unitarians be lieved that men were too good to Iks eternally damned." IIew Knln la orraed. To understand the philosophy of this phenomenon, essential to the very exist ence of plants and animals, a few facts, derived from observation and a long train of experiments, must be remembered Were the atmosphere at all times at a uniform temperature, we should never have rain, hail or siow. The water ab sorbed by it is evaporation from the sea and the earth's surface would descend in an imperceptible vapor, or cease to be absorbed by the air, when it was fully saturated. The absorbing Jpower of the atmosphere, and consequently its capa bility to retain humidity, is proportion ably rreater in cold than in warm air. The air near the Burface of the earth is warmer than it is in the region of the clouds. The higher we ascend from the earth the colder we find the atmosphere. Hence the perpetual snow on very high mountains in the hottest climates. Now, when, from evaporation the air is highly saturated with vapor though it be in visible if its temperature is suddenly reduced by cold currents descending from above, or rushing from a higher to a lower latitude, its capacity to retain moikture is diminished, clouds are formed and the result is rain. Air condenses as it cools, and, like a sponge filled with water and compressed, pours out water which its diminished capaoity cannot hold. How singular, yet how simple is an arrangement for watering the earth. Hcien tijic Am erica n . How Vitnderbllt Started. Every little while the newspapers con tain an account of Vanderbilt' s begin ning. Most of these accounts are apoc ryphal. His own statement of his first real success is this : He was a young man on Staten Island. He was a master of rowing athletic, strong and daring. One night a stranger came to the landing and wanted to be rowed across to Gowanus. The night was dark and stormy, and the wind blew a gale. Not a boatman could be found who would leave. The landlord said, "There is nobody can row you over but Corn Vanderbilt" for he was so called. It was doubtful, he said, whether he would do it. Vanderbilt was found, and in answer to the reouest replied : ''It's pretty rough, but if you'll give me ten dollars, lay down in my boat and not stir, and do just what I bid you, I'll try it." He rowed the man over and back in safety. As soon as he landed on Staten Island, the stranger said: "Young man, how would you like to run an oppo sition steamboat?" "Nothing would suit me better," was the reply. "Have you pluck enough to obey orders?" said the stranger. " I have," was the response. " Suppose I should tell you to run into a steamboat, what would you do?" "Run into her, by ." The bargain was scaled amid the storm that night, en the island, and Vanderbilt entered on his well known career as a steamboat man. To Nebraska, It will be noticed that the BUR LINGTON & MISSOURI RIVER RAIL ROAD is like a tree with three forks or branches, for it has three Termini in the State of Nebraska. 1st. At COUNCIL BLUFFS AND OM AHA, at which latter place its trains make close connections with those cf the Union Pacific Rail Road for all points cn the Pacific Roads and the Pacific Coast. 2d. At PLATTSMOUTH, where its trains make close connection with the trains of the Burlington & Missouri River Rail Road in Nebraska, which lat ter Rail Road runs for fifty-five miles through the country lving SOUTH OF THE PLATTE RIVER, to Ashland and LINCOLN, the Capital of the State of Nebraska. A glance at a cor rect map of the United States will de monstrate the fact to travelers bound to all that section of country South of the Platte River that the Burlington Route is the only direct line through ; and that they should not be persuaded to go to Omaha, or any other point, in order to reach that country, for they will find that in doing so they lose from 24 to 3G hours, and have an additional expense of more than six dollars. In short, the Shortest, Cheapest and Only Direct Route to that country is via Burlington and Platts mouth. 3d. At Hamburg and Nebraska City to whic-h point it runs by means of its Branch Road from Red Oak Junction to Nebraska City through trains running from Chicago to Nebraska City. This is the only Railroad running Direct from the East to Nebraska City and the coun try adjacent thereto, and passengers by taking the Burlington Route will save delay at junction points, and the ex pense consequent thereon. Lantze's In ttlligencer.. ALMOST A FIRE. oar. TiLiA.fors i-ncejidiaiit at WORK. Jrom Nebraska City Chonicle, 11th. ' The building on the corner of 8th and Main streets, occupied by Geo. Clininn narrowly escaped burning last night. The occupants did not retire until al'tertwo o'clock this morning and the work must have been done after that time. The ef fort to burn the building is well under stood from the signs still apparent. A cork was found near the corner of the building, which evidently came from a vessel containing coal oil, and there is no doubt but the oil was thrown up on the corner of" the house and then set on fire. The lumber is charred for about six feet up, and a number of matches, half burn ed lie on the ground. The quantity of coal oil was not sufficient to overceme the dampnest of the wood, ana after burning a short time on the surface the fire went out. The object for setting out such a fire cannot be conjectured. Several families reside in the row of buildings, and many human lives would be endangered from such a conflagration as was evidently contemplated. It seems to have been a desperate maniac or a villian whose heart is already black with murder. Let some villian be shot in the act and the work will stop not until. A Southern paper spoke of "Turkey showing her teeth," whereupon Mr. Greeley wrote to the editor th it none but hen turkeys have teeth. The hen turkey gathers the food and chews it, and the gobbler is called to gobble it. Lady Pigott, an English lady famous a3 an agriculturist, is now nursing the wounded at Metz. She describes the Prussians as " loud and consequential " the French "pale and haggard," and both weary of war. A juror of a Philadelphia court lately requested that the jury might be called into the court room for instruction upon an important point; which, being grant ed, ho arose and asked the honorable couit whether it was strictly legal when one juror could not see the evidence in the same light aa the others for the rest to bring him to their view by knocking him down with a chair. As the dam aged condition of his head lent a certain pathos to his appeal, the court instruct ed the jurr that there was no law au- thonzing tbat mole ot persuasion. TUE DASIVUMI5UO KXPEDITlwa. Another Balloon Letter From Oar Special Correspondent. Balloon Correspondence Cincinnati Times. Bay op Sam an a, Feb. 2, 1871. San Domingo at last ! Wade's first exclamation when he caught sight of the island and was, "San Domin go to ," well, no matter where. Wade, you know, belongs to Greeley's church. When we reached our anchorage in Samana Bay the shore was fairly black with people. They had come trom all fiarts of the Island to see us. When we anded seventeen distinct revolutionary factions were there to welcome us, each professing to represent the island, and claiming the honor of receiving the Com missioners. As each delegation had a speech-maker, and they all "orated" to gether in the heathenish language, the effect may be imagined. They selected Fred Douglas, by com mon consent, as the most important man in the party, he coming nearer to their idea of a representative American citi zen than any other, and getting around him the seventeen committees of recep tion howled seventeen speeches of wel come into his ear. He was driven al most distracted by it and has been com pelled to carry his ear in a sling ever since. It was terrible on our interpreters, too, and three are now raging lunatics in con sequence. I wanted to take down one of the speeches, at least, but the interpre ter toli me I couldn't do it unless I took down the speaker and got it way from him by main force. These Domingosters so hate to give up anything. French, English and Spanish have in turn tried to make them give up their little island without success. It remains to be seen whether or no they will give up to the United States. Fred Douglas, who has a sort of grim enjoyment of a joke, finally made the committeemen understand, by talking a little African to them (having" brought a little African along with him for that purpose), that he was not the head of the party, but that Steel, who was stand ing by with a look of supreme disgust upon 1113 countenance, was bossing the ion. Then they invested Sicel. and proceed ed to bombard him with their welcomiug orations. The General resisted, an there was some prospect of the welcom ing party getting into a "fight mit Sigel." But sturdy old Ben Wade'd 'em one all around, and harmony was restored. Afterward I ascertained from one of our interpreters the buiden of the re ception speeches. The speakers (bar bers, for the most part), were tolerably unanimous in welcoming us with dirty hands to dishonorable shaves ! They were somewhat divided in their sentiments regarding the annexation of the Limed States to San Domiiigo. While one speaker was assuring Wade's right ear that they would take his old Mates under his protection if thev would behave themselves, another was com mitting himself to a different policy in I,;. UIV TJ., TVJ j:j ma iuii. .uub hub uiuu i know any thing about it, of course, not under standing the language. He would only grasp each by the hand and exclaim "lou re right, old man; I agree with you! The effect of this was ouite distract ing on Dr. Howe, of the Boston Idiot Asylum. He stood apart, gazing upon the scene hko one who felt his senses gradually leaving him. I was alarmed for the Doctor and approaching him I asked Howe he felt. "U. Hum !" said he, as a smile ap proaching imbicility flickered across his face. I told him that I did. "Oh !" he cried, falling upon my neck and bursting into tears, "take me, oh, take me back to my idiots !" The tears saved him, although they ruined my collar, and he became calm- But who can describe the scene when they attempted to escort us up town. The seventeen revolutionary parties, each of which claimed to run the island, had engaged accommodations for us at seven teen different hotels, and each delegation attempted to march us off to thehotel they had selected. Having ascertained that Ben Wade was the most important one in the commission, they all went for Ben. They pulled him this way and hauled him that, the old insn swearing like a trooper all the time. No sooner would one party succeed in shoving him into an omnibus for the "L'Ouverture House," or the "Baez Hotel," or some other of the seventeen hostleriesthat ex pected him, than a rival faction would haul him out through the window. Again a clan would seize him and march him off up the hill, when another party would attack the escort, recapture and march him down again. After such treatment as this, Old Ben finally reached a hotel utterly exhausted in charge of the last successful party of iiaytien revolutionists, with nothing on but one stocking and a paper collar. The remaining revolutionists finally com promised by each seizing as distinguished a man as they could vet hold of and marching him off to their headquarters, and the sound of their seventeen bands as they marched away in different direc tions, was stunning I can assure you. We newspaper correspondents, as a general thing, were not regarded, and straggled off where we pleased. There was a line of street cars running up town, but there was a sign on them, "No white folks admitted. So they didn't do us any good. We shall commence our investigations at once, and I will keep you posted how they progress. U. IIl'RX. Legal Notice.
