From a private letter froui F. 31. Wolf,
Ksq., who has established himself in the
legal business at Crete, wc arc permitted
to extract the following item of interest
in regard to that young city and its many
advantages :
"Crete is a fine town, of about 5(56
inhabitants. It has a good water power,
and other manufacturing facilities ; and
is surrounded by one of the finest fann
ing communities in this tcction of the
country. The IJ. & M. li. It- will te

doubt deserves much praise lor his en

Thos. Poane, Chief Engineer and Su

( 'ol. I oane is one of the most thorough
railroad men in the wc.-t, and one who
seeks as little newspaper notoriety as any

doubt, of getting another man's name

well to always consult the Herald on

posted.
Suiue republicans have gravely inform
ed us that there were no politics in the
late elections. In the 3d Ward, on
Tuesday there were cast fourtien straight

That uabout the way the "no politics"
arrangement runs wherever tried. In
this county it was found there were "n5

Last Tuesday, Judge Dillon delivered
an elaborate and exhaustive opinion in
the case of the Union Pacific Railroad
Company vs. W. I'eniston, Treasurer
of Lincoln county, which is of uiuch im
portance to the State.
The suit was brought to procure an
injunction restraining the defendant
f, oin collecting the tax assessed on the
stock and property of the railroad in Lin
coln county, and on the road-bed extend
ing west to the boundary 1 no of the
State, through an uuorganize 1 district,
but which had been attached to the
above county for revenue and judicial
lurpo?es.
It was claimed by the Plaintiff that
the road was only within the jurisdic
tion of the United States, ami not sub
ject to State and county liabilities, which
propositions the defendants, ot course,
deny.
11 is Honor, Judge Dillon, ruled that
while a State cannot tax property that
afTocts the efficiency of the operation of
the government ot the united States,
the i mon Pacific Road, though in :
measure built and owned by thefjovcrn
incut, does not come within the mean
ing of this provision, and therefore de
cree 1 that the injunction be dissolved
except in the matter of a discrepancy in
the length of the track, existing between
the parties. Omaha TrUatne.

Ye.-terday we met a homcsteader-at
one of our stores, who said that he came
to this city five years ago with less than
$'J- in his pocket, and was now worth
$3.1 nh) if he was worth a cent.
The remark was sugcestive to us, for
it indicated to our mind what thousands
of men, now in Eastern States and cities,
htrugglins for daily existence, might do
for themselves and families, if they only
would 'strike out' bravely for this west
ern land.
The gentleman referred to said that
during the first year of his residence
here he worked very hard ami under
went considerable privation. After that,
however, he always had plenty to eat,
plenty to wear, a comfortable home, and
in fact, all that was essential to the well
being of bimelf and family. The man
thought the best of it nil wa3 that he
ftxwj the satisfaction of being his own
.master and knowing that he is independ
ent and his family provided for iu the
.event of his sickness or death.
This man, with anything like careful
.management, cannot well help continu
ing to improve his circumstances from
year to year. His farm is all the time
increasing in value, his block is multi
plying, his young forest of native trees
are growing while he sleeps, and his
wealth is increasing aside from what he
may add to his store by his personal la
. bor and forethought.
How much better this than the daily
struggle, constant apprehension, and
hand-to mouth existence of a laborer for
others.
That man who has a home of his own,
who feels that he owes his bread to the
favor of no capitalist, lias the enjoyment
of a sort of manhood of which the pale
operatives and mechanics of the East
have little comprehension.
Net all, of course, may do as well
as the man we have cited; but here,
where homes are free and labor no dis
. credit, a man's success is only to be
measured by the individual's persistency
and capacity. Sioux City Journal.

Th St. Joseph Union, of 3Iay 4th,
has the following in relation to the man
Sherman who is now in the care of
Sheriff Johnson:
"A 3-ear or more since, pabulum for
gossips was furnished by the celebration
of the nuptials of William J. Sherman
and 3Iary Thornton. Sherman was a
young man of good address, said to have
descended from a rcspectible family, and
the bride was the daughter of 3Iadamo
Hannah Thornton, proprietress of -the
well-knwn Planter's House, in this city.
At the time the marriage was consuma
ted Sherman was bar-tender at this es
tablishment. Everything was generally understord
to be lovely until quite recently, when
for real or fancied causes a separation
occurcd. Meanwhile Sherman was one
of the proprietors of the Casino, on
Market Square. Of late he has fre-
nuently been registered at the' Recorders
oHice, and lias contributed liberally to
the police fund. One week age he went
to I'lattsrnouth, Nebra.-ka, and the rest
of the story is told by the Plattsmouth
Herald or 31ond iy evening.

During the winter of 18(19 a drummer
visiting Wilmington, N. C-, stopped at
one ot the tirst-elass hotels. At the
breakfast table he gave an elaborate or
der to the waiter, and included in it
"two soft boiled egs." Sambo went
off to the kitchen, but soon returned and
asked: ''Mass' Boss, did you want dem
egtrs scrambled ?" "No," said the
drummer, "I want them soft-boiled."
"All right, sar," and off he trotted
again. In a few moments he loomed in
again, and remarked, in a most pursua
sive tone : "Mass Boss, you bettor
have dem cges scrambled." "What do
you mean?" roared Harry. "Well, said
Sambo, Mass Isoss, 1 11 tell you dem

ITenry J. Bavmond used to say that
the most arduous and important work of
a newspaper was done by reporters, am
jut before his death he planned a radi
cal change in the Times, by which the
city department of that paper was to
take precedence of all others, and the
. i .i
oest men in tne paper were to be em
ployed, and the highest salaries paid in
it. His untimely death put an end to
this obiect, tmt the limes always ha

In the days crone by, when laws were-
made for the few and not for the tnany
a law was passed in the good town of

the early risers, people who worked for
a living, from obtaining the best of the
market. lo-day the ouestion of repeal
ing the old law is being agitated, so as to
conform to the new order of things.

Sol Hewes Sanborn, an eccentric old

a swiz of the same to get the benefit of
his opinion upon the subject. Presently
their throats and mouths began to burn,
when they discovered that it was lye they
had been drinkins, and swallowed some
oil to allay the pain. The oil combining
with the lye formed soap, which stimu
lated the salivary glands to excessive ac

When northern winds blow let all the
southern birds sing! When the late
late snows drowse through the air, let
all the birdsclap their wings and plume
their feathers. It is the old battle of
the birds against the winds. La-t
autumn birds were driven away by the
winds, but it was not until they had for
gotten to sing. Prosperity had made
the birds gross and songless, and the
winds prevailed. Hut now it is spring.
The birds have found their voices.
They are coming in royal array toward
the north to avenge themselves upon the
dispossessing winds that drove them
away. The battle of tho birds and the
winds! Sins, victorious choirs ! sing till
nisrhts grow short, till long days are full
of heat, till the meadows are full of
fragrance, an 1 the trees of blossoms!
Conic, all of you, and bring all of your
relations ! Come sparrows, blue birds
and robbins earliest of all comers!
Come black birds, those with red epan
lets on your shoulders, and those with
out ! Come, larks, woodthresher, bobo
links, linnets, nut-hatches, warblers, fly
catchers, fire and orioles! Come, hungry
hawks anJ solemn old crows, flapping
funeral wings to keep time with croaking
song ! Come everything flics, and
spider.' to cat them ; squirrils and owls
to catch them : worms and hunting
birds to catch them. Wake up all

the spool, was able to take it out in
pieces, thus saving the little one's life.

the end of the world is postponed till
J.S75. The expectants of the second
glorious advent have made several post
ponements already. The end of the
world has heen expected by a lar.e elas.s
of Christians from the third century
down to our times. I lurinej the last gen
eration the United States had the honor
of reviving this often disappointed ex
pectation. The Adventists have certain
ly heen mistaken hitherto. Their ap
pointed times have pased and their ful
fillments of prophe.-y have -ot been
reached. Are thev not on the wrons
track? Will their expected advent ever
come; 1 he world will doubtless end
when it fulfills it.s course and the sun
and stars expire, but that consummation
awaits a remote future.

Although it was once customary to
call every high peak in the Rocky Moun
tains eighteen thousand feet in altitude,
but one shows fifteen thousand feet on

fourteen thousand feet. It is somewhat

preserved. So far as measured there
are twenty peaks above thirteen thous

feet above the sea level.
An eminent medical authority decides
that books handled by persons recover
ing from malignant fevers, frequently be
come charged with the germs of the dis
ease, and ought to be burned. As it
would be profitable to burn nine-tenths
of the books now published, anyhow,
judicious care in selecting the literature
for convalescents will avoid any real loss
to the family library, through following
the doctor's advice.
Science is playing very odd prnks,
nowadays, not only in the more recon

manufactures. Of course nobody be
lies, or ever did believe, that the moon
is made of green cheese, but if one of
our intelligent forefathers were to arise
from the tomb to day, and once more
take part in wordly affairs, it would be
nearly as astonishing for him to hear
that billiard balls can be niadj of a com
bination of gum, cotton and camphor,
which, according to Professor Sceley, is
a fact.

The Union Pacific Bailroad Company
is budding several iron furnaces, on a new
principle, for smelting the wonderful de
posits of iron ore in Wyoming Territory.
The foreman of the Union Company's
sltpps has invented a smoitiffg furnace
Sii'xch dispenses with the fan blower.
The blast of air is obtained by injecting
a jet of steam into the interior of the
upper portion of the furnace. The vacu
um created by the steam draws a blast
throuch the fire ano" ore below with tre
monduous force, securing the intense
heat necessary for smelting the ore. The
fiiniaco has been running successfully,
several weeks, and others are in course
of erection. Foundries arc also being
erected, and the company expect soon to
supply itself with a large portion of its
castings at much less cost than they have
heretofore been able to obtain from Mis
souri and the East.
Henry Ward TJecher has created an
other sensation. His last sermon has
excited the entire religious world, and
severe denunciations have followed its
publication. Mr. Beccher's idea eems
to be that the whole church was a purely
human institution. A man might bap
tise or not baptise, partake of the Lord's
.Supper or not partake of it. it would
make no difference to him. The orator
of Plymouth church also states it as his
opinion that if our Jjord and Savior
were on earth now, there are very few
churches into which he could get. lie
would not be considered as sufficiently
orthodox.
Chuf Justice J. B. Bellows of New

persons who oft-times cannot afford to
give it, at cium-h fairs and other gather
ings, such as post-offices, lotteries, grab
bags, guess cakes, etc., with the intent
to raise funds for disseminating the gos

recoznized in law as indictable offenses,
nnd the proper officers failed to do their
duty were they suffered to pass unno
