PLAT1 SKQUTH NEBRAKSA.. ""THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1871. TEII. JAPAN. MX rKAMflftCO. !I.4mHOt riI, SEW TURK. Tba following article from the Bur lington Hawk-Eye of the 4th will serve to give an idea of the elass of trade which may be expected to flow through our city as soon as the B. & M. is com pleted to a junction with the U. P- at Ft. Kearney: A remarkable bhipment of merchan dise passed through tbia city Tuesday morning, which illustrates the wonder ful changes that are now taking place in this country in consequence of the coui- Tetion of the Pacific Railroad. Mr. J. ' Junker arrived here on the Atlantic Express direct from Yeddo, Jappan. via San Francisco, en route for France, Italy and Turkey with a cargo of silk worm eggs for the i!k industry of those coun tries. The shipment comprised 101 box es in a special car. Each box was about 2x1 feet and 12 inches in depth, in which were carefully packed the cocoons in layers giving a free circulation of air. The two chief sources cf damage to the cocoon i in transportion are moi.-ture and heat, and great care is required, to pro tect them from storms and suffocation. This Bhipmeut was brought by steamship to San Francisco, thence in a Union Pa cific freight car to Burlington, and at this point transferred to a C. B. & Q. baggage car. As the value of thisventurc is estimated at about six hundred thous and dollars, it will be readily seen that great care is demanded to protect so valuable an article of merchandize from destruction or deterioration. The co coons are firmly attached to pasteboard by the natural secretions of the insect, and in this condition present the appear ance of coarse sand paper. Through the courtesy of Mr. Ryder, of the C. Ii. & Q. railroad, we have a specimen of the cocoon?, which can be seen at the The Hawlc-Eie office by any desirous of examining this va liable product of Japanese industry. This is thr first shipraenc of the kind ever sent through Burlington, and it is a source of wonder that instead of shipping it from Japan, via I he Suez Canal, to Europe, the parties controlling this venture should find it to their intorest to ship it across the broad Pacific ocean, and across the American continent, then the Atlan tic to Liverpool, across England and the English channel to the silk region of houil.ern France, and to Italy and Tur key. There mu-t certainly be American enterprise at the bottom of this; indeed, our credulity, iu view of the actual facts would almost lead our imagination to picture some of the live agents of our own Burlington & Missouri River Rail road firing around among the Japs and foreign speculators of that flowery io!e, "working up" this job for the great Trunk Line they represent. If the B. Si 31. R. and the C. B. & Q. Companies havo agents at the Sandwich Islands, why not in Japan, the Celestial Empire. India, and everywhere else? We shall br onby moderately surprised yet to hear of soma live Yankee taking a cargo of silks from Marseilles, on Mediterranean coast, and bringing it, by the Suez Canal the Indian and Pacific oceans, across the American continent (via Burlington, of course!) nnd the Atlantic ocean, and laying it down at the doors of Johnny Bull's sea bound home bef ore his clumsy merchant men have passed with a like cargo through the straits of Gibraltar ! FLECTIO.V IX LANCASTER. Tbe Repnblicnn Pnrty Vindicated. SOO Majority for Fhilpott. Tbe People's Ticket Scooped. From the Journal of the 3-. The election yesterday was the most exciting that ever came off in Lincoln The people's men came into the field with most desperate determination to se cure a vote sufficient in the city to over come any. Republican majority that might be given in the country. They expected to hold Seward ceunty "level.' and some were singularly confident that opsey would carry Seward over Phil pott, relying upon Col. P 's former con nection with the B, & M. RR. Company as an attorney, to defeat him in the southern part of the county. 'Money was poured into the saloons and wherever else greenbacks could be of use, Mr. Silver saying that be had 40. 000 at stake nnd he could not fail. Mr. Cropsey was also on the giving hand, and never be fore here hava that claw of politicians open to "inducements" reaped so rich a harvest of greenbacks. Yet there was no disorder, amid the intense excitement, bat little drunkenness, and rarely ar3' display of angry passrans, or any ten dency to violence. The Democrats, in the laoming, were acti.-e and jubilant, and at noon confi dently claimed that they were far in ad vance, In the afternoon the more staid and substantial citizens began to drop in at the polls, and the straight Republican stock went up with a vim. The voting was lively till the last moment, and seve ral tardy electors arrived just as the hour of six had been announced, teo late for business. The Cropsey crowd lnd given up the contest by this time, and conceded his defeat in thin county, though they pro fessed to believe that he was a little ahead in the city, l'arties in from Sew ard reported Philpott carrying all btfore him, and this gare the finishing blow to their hopes. The count was the last surprise, and resulted most damagingly to the spirits and pride of ye peoples outfit. They had discovered after an illusion of sever al days in duration, that the people of Lincoln dni not endorse 5lr. Cropsey, upon his anti-Butler and - impeachment platform, and that after all tbe Journal had been a tolerably faithful expositor of the puhlic opinion ot Lancaster county. Five hundred and six ballots were cast. The Tote was as follows : Philpott, 1233 ; Cropsey, 193; Robin on, 307 ; Scoggins, 1 7S ; Casse!!, 273 ; Silver, 233 ; Curtis, 296 ; Roper, 193. As far as heard from the vote in the precincts outside the city was very light. The following are the returns that have been received up to going to press. We five th result so far as concerns Col. hilpott and Col. Cropsey. The vote on the whole ticket will not materially vary from these figures however. Oak Philpott, 19 ; Cropsey, 2. Panama Philpott. 36; Cropsey 4. Olive Branch Philpott, 19; Cropsey; none. n Highland Philpott, 8; Cropsey, 2. Centerville Philpott, 20 ; Cropsey, 5. Nemaha Philpott,23 'r Cropsey, 8.

Elk prrnnet Philpott, 14 ; Cropsey G " The following precincts are to be hiard from : Upper Salt Philjott, 20 ; Cropsey 0 Stevens Creek Philpott, 15; Cropsey Mill, Waverly, Rock Creek, Rock Bluffs, Peuton, Grant, Sallillo, Buda and South Pass. So far the majorities are about 350 in this county, and 7'J in Seward. Two piecincts are to come in from Seward county, which will probably swell Phil pott's majority to 125 giving him about 500 majority in the two counties. TiTK KCTH TUAUEDT. The Children Nwaru to Avenge their Father's Death. " Lawrence has been for days, and is still greatly excited over the po souing of Mr. Ruth. Public opinion is divided as to whether Ruth committed suicide or was murdered by Dr. Medlicott. The Journal of Wednesday fcays : The remains of Faac M. Ruth were yesterday conveyed from his late resi dence to the Kansas Pasific depot, en rnte for Pennsylvania, in charge of his brother. There was no procession ac companying the remains. They were taken to the depot in Smith & Bailey's hearse. We are informed, as corrobra tive of the fact that he died of poison if any corroboration were necessary that the flias which had, from time to time, settled upon the sheet th:own over the remains, were poisoned and died, so that there were huudredsof them dead upon the floor when the body was removed. Before the remains were removed, we are told that Mrs. Ruth took the children into the room and swore them over the dead body, upon the Bible, to rcvence the murder Her tone toward Dr. Medlkf.tt, it is said, had wholly changed. She now speaks very bitterly of him, and is reported to have said that she hoped be would rot in jail, whether he was guilty or not. It is also said that Miss Emma Good ing has remarked that if sworn, she would have to tell all she knew about the case. We hve she will be sworn A. Cop of Horae-Made- Ten, The Association organized in Califor nia last year, to make a practical experi ment in growing tea, lias met with en couraging success. About fifteen per cent, only of the plants imported from Japan survived the voyage, but a large quantity of tea seed imported germina ted readily, and tbe young plants are thrifty and promising. Of course, the growth of thoe latter will require some years extra time before a crop can be produced, but if the shrub is destined to thrive well on this continent, stock raised from the seed is likely to prove the hardiest and best. We have only one favor to ask of this company. If they find on cxpeiiment that the plant can be acclimated and tea grown at a reasonable profit, we beg of them not t rush down to Washington and demand a tariff to tbe extent of three or four dollars a pound on the im ported article, as a "protection to heme industry." True, they would be just as much entitled to it as the other interests to which such protection has already been extended; but the general effect on the interests of the public would not be favorable, from a free-trade poifit of view. If tea can be raised in tlii country at a profit, all right cverylody will rejoice ; but if it cannot, it will be far the wiser plan to quit the effort, and let the peo ple enjoy the product of "foreign labor" at the cheapest rates it can be produced. 1 he country is now rnjoyiog a protection on teasels but to exUnd it to tea weuld be quite too much. Attronomrn by Inatinet. A light-house keeper, relating his ex perience of the common tendency of. sea birds to dash toward the lanterns and settle upon the rigging of the light ves sels, adds that he had noticed the birds remain on the ship if the night has been clouds, but take their departure as soon as the stars have become visible. Hence he infers that the birds are en abled to shape their course for land by the stars, thus proving themselves as tronomers by instinct. Strange, it true; and it may be true, for animals to have powers of observation of which we have small conception. But we rather suspect that the bird, eyeing a star, flies toward it as toward a terrestrial light, ignorant of its distance. They who have studied the seemingly mad llight of winged thinsrs against lamps and bright windows, arc pretty confident that the lights i ru.-hed at as an aperture of escape from drknes. The tendency of animal things is to seek light .-paces; and, weij we see a bird or a moth dash at a flame, we mav be sure, from the very force and rapidity of its motiou, that it regards the bright spot as a hole or window through which it can dart into somo space more brilliantly illuminated than that in which it is fiing. Put a tew flies into a buttlo, and 1 ave it uucoiked, with the bottom toward a source of light; the flies will crowd to the lightward end, and never attempt to escape by the open neck. Turn the glass pri.-on neck to the light, and the Hi s will escape directly. Giass is a substance out of a low crea ture's cognizance. Flies, l-ird, and ani mals dai-h stunningly against window-, because they know not of the invisible barier. Light house keepers see bird maimed and killed by the force with which they come against the lanterns. In all such ca.-cs, the behaivor of the animal shows that it mistakes the light for a hole. And as we can easily con ceive a night bird risiug, after resting on a ship, and directiug its flight iu the direction of the stars. A w paper Acrobat. The New York Herald is famous the world over for its gymnastics. It is a regular literary political acrobat, and never fails, toss it never so high, to light on its feet. Not long ago, it was ring ing the praises of President Grant's ad ministration, and de.-ing him with all manner of fulsome compliments. But presto ! it turns on him with an acrid temper, denies him the semblance cf statesmanship, breaks out in scornful de rision of the party's prospects, and, wi:h a p-ighty bound, clears the fence, and flops into the Democratic wigwam. Two ypars are to elapse before the next election, and we shall note the gymnas tic flops of this newspaper acrobat just as they recur, up to its last "eleventh hour" movement, which, as h generally gets into the right place at the right t ime, will proably land it into the Repub lican camp again. The Golden Age tells us that polyga my is tolerated in Utah, and that when the Americans cannot get rid of an evil they arc usually sensible enough to leave it alone. Which may be true although we do not know of an instance in our his tory. We did not let slavery alone: we kept pegging away at the vice of intem perance: and although we have not sup pressed murder, arson, robber', or any other crimes, we do not propose to tol erate them. Now, another danger threatens us. If we annex Sant Dom ingo, we shall have a plenty of fathers who have "tcores of childern," but no wivps. Even the President of that Re public is said to have forty or fifty child ren and no wife. Doubtless we shall tolerate this sort of thing, too, when we get it. Xew 1'vrk Globe. A mineral which performs all the du ties of soap, and has an aromantic odor, hag been discovered in inexhaustible quantities near Iowa City. He oiildu't Tell n I.le. All. Bennett, in ci;e of his letters to "i he People," ot Indianapolis, relates the following anecdote : "By the by, a good story is told of Ben. Butler and his notorious honesty. A short time since, Ben. Butler and Wendell Phillips had business with the President and, arm-in arm, proceeded to call upon him The President was busy, and sent word that he would see them presently. Phillips and Butler strolled out into the conservator', in the rear of the White House, thence into the garden. Butler and Phillips were engaged iu an animated conversation upon some topic. Butler became slight ly excited. "A large hatchet, belonging to the gardener, was beside a tree. Butler cautiously picked it up, and, while talk ing, he made several daep gashes with it into some of General Grant's favorite trees. Just, at this juncture the Presi dent appearing, Butler hastily secreted it under his coat tail. "After the compliments of the day the President spied for the first time his mutilated tree, and, with tones of vehe mence, inquired who haa been cutting that tree? After a few moments' pause Butler stepped bravely up tothe Pre-ident and took him by the hand, saying ; Mr. President, 1 cannot tell a lie; 1 cannot tell a lie ; Wendell Philips did it !" Mark Twain's (-ed. While I am speaking of animals I will meution that I have a horse by the name of '"Jerico." He is a mare. I have seen remarkable and wonderful horses before, but none so remarkable a- this. I wanted a horse that could shy, au l this one tills the bid. 1 had n id-vi that shyintr indicated spirit. If I was cor rect I have pot the most spiritel hor-e on earth. He shies at everything he comes ac-ioss, with the utmost impar tiality. He appears to have a moital dread of tuiegraph poles especially ; and ic is fortunate that these sre on both sides of the road, because as it is now I never fall off twice on t he same side. If I fell on the same side) always it would get to be monotonous alter a while. This creature has got scared at every thing be has seen to-day, except a hiy wagon. lie walked up to that with an intrepidity and recklessness that were astoni-hing. And it would fill any one with admiration to see how he preserves his self-possession in the presence of a barley sack. This dare devil bravery will be the death of this horc some day. He bus only one fault: his tail has been chopped off or driven up, and he has to Cgbt flies with his heels, Tbi is all very well, but when he tries to kii-k a fly off the top cf his bead with his hind foot, it is too much variety. He is going to get himself into trouble that way some day. He reaches around and bites my legs, too. I don t care particu larly about that, but I don't like to see a horse too sociable. Chararlcrialics of Son ml. The following curious observations in regard tothe transmission of sound have been carefully verified by an extended series of experiments: The whistle of a locomotive is heard 3,300 yards through the air; the noise of a raihoa I train, 2,S0O yards; the report of amuskctand the bark of a dog. 1,800 yard- ; an or chestra or the roll of a drum, ,C'j.) yards; the human voice teaches to a dis tance of 1 000 yards; the crosking of frogs, 90O yards ; the chirping of crick ets, 800 yards. Distinct speaking is heard in .he air from below up to a dis tance of COO yards ; from above it is on ly understood to a rane of 100 yards downward. It has been ascertained that an echo is well reflected from the surface of smooth water only when the voice comes from an elevation. Other similar phenomena connected with the transmission of sound have been observed, but the results disagree either from inaccuracy in the observa tions or from the varying nature of the circumstances affecting the numbers ob tained. Such variations occur to an ex tent of ten to twenty per cent., and even more. The weather's being cold and dry, oi- warm and wet, are the chief in fluencing causes. The velocity of sound varies also, with the- temperature, trav eling faster as the air is rarifid by heat. At the point of freezing water, sound travels 1 090 feet per second, at 02 de grees it travels 1.125 fct por second. Primary Mecline Anna Dickinson sai l a brave and true word about these meetings that the p-ii lie may well heed. She charged that the power behind the throne was tin br immed and vulgar tdiampinn in h- e meetings ; that back of President ai d Congress, (Ji.voiuors and Legisl.it ;i: .-.. lay the profes-ional politician and hS--pefs, who -hape pretty much unh'ndvrrd and after their own hearts the policy of State and nation in piimary met tings, which elections are pi itively more po tent for good or evil th -.n tbe K-eal elec tions which follow the:n. These meet ings are reeking with abominable corrup tion, and have been instrument. tl in im posing on this nation more legal raseality and legal rascals than ordinary meanean riil us of in a generation. We intend to go for the heathen of our political rin-s in forcible word-, and try to push them out of place and introduce into primary meetings in place of such depravity healthy virtue, who.ce right is to reign in this republic. Put your political scalawag out of thz primary meeting, and "shake the ficti tious ballots out of hi capacious sleeve." There is an effectual remedy for the enormous encroachments of ignorant, impudent and dishonest men in ihee primaries. The cure is not hopelessly inefficient. Let every decent citizen re solve that at election time- hereafter he proposes to be present and help to shape the policy of the meeting, and the effect will be that reputable tickets will Ikj sub stituted and candidates selected fr their merit. We abandon these meetings to the venal and base and then stand aghast at their corruption. We' cry out against the results of our own neglect. The only way to keep rats and mo!e- under ground is to satisfy them that daylight is fatal to their skins. And to checkmate these rats of the primary meetings who claim to carry the election in favor of anybody, and whose habitual life is in all manner of subterranean retreats from which they emergo to the surface on election times, let the reputable citizens take jossejs;on and they will slink abashed back to their hole". What Will he Nay Socje time ago a woman was tried and found guilty cf murder in Mississippi. Her counsel could find no redeeming clause to save, and at last appealed to the chivalry cf the jury, who gave their verdict as not guilty Lrcavse she was a woman. Now we want to know if the strong minded sisterhood does not feel like resenting that. Oh, where is our Susan; that her voice of scorn is not heard casting back in disdain the ignoble plea? .To be saved from hanging be cause she is a woman ! The impudence of man is shameful, llow long, O ! Lord how long. St. Joe Union. It is sometimes said that I wyers are as foolish in their own business as they are wise in helping their clients into trouble. Here is Horace Howes, a lead ing lawyer of San Franei-eo, who shuf- t fles off this mortal eoil, leaving behind j hiui some $2 0(X,000, tied un in such inextricable ligal knots that his family I cannot take any comfort in hi death- Hornet bins Startliug:. The Cincinnati Gizeitc startles horti cultural housewives with a terrible dis covery. It is that the oleander, so pop ular as a houe ami yard plant, i ex tremely poisonous. Dr. T. L Wright in a communication to the Belicfotitaine lifpuhllcin, says that he was ca'led to attend a child a few days ago who had eaten some small fragments of an ole ander bush that had been clipped off. The symptoms were sudden and violent, and the result nearly fatal. Deathly prostration, sunken eyes, great pallor, incessant vomiting, extreme thirst and purging were the predominating symp toms. An old medical work quoted by the doctor, after describing the poison ous qualities of the plant, adds : "When handled in a close room, when the stomach is empty, it causes a numbness by degrees, which shows that something poisonous llongd even to the smell." The United States dispensary mentions the fact that it is used by the French peasantry as a rat poison, and that while the deadly principle exists both in the haves and bark, it is moro active in the latter. Florida. A letter from Florida gives a charming description of midwinter in that State. Says the writer : A walk of 200 yards brings me to the sheltered edge of a swamp bordering the field, where, during all this time, I have, when inclined, garhered blue violets by the handful, that grow wi!d and bloom in healthy luxuriance. Here and there the garden is dottvd with the purple flowers of the common phlox that r-pring from the scattered seeds of last year's growth. In a neighbor's garden, across the street, a bed of veila u is bloom in mcd-e-t triumph in the open air, an I for ten days past the wild jessamine has been, hanging its yellow f ell- on the shru'o aud bushes of favored and protected nooks Nor are the flowers entirely alone. Blue-birds flit about the garden, and half a dozen different ruoeking-bird-m ike the place vocal from morning to night, cageiess and careless and happy. And when with this presence of flowers and singing of birds, the rosy blushes of a gorgeous sunset are mirrored in the still glassy sin face of the river, until it looks a-flu -bed and waim as the sum mer air th it bathes the landscape, it is not diihcu't to forget that this is the month of January, and that at this mo ment the boreal blasts up north may be driving an army of snow fl akes before them, large enough to envelope the whole northern belt of the temperate zone from Oregon to Maine, and cold enough to chill and paralyze, for a littl while, that restless movement of com merce and travel that has made the steamer, the railroad and the telegraph the ii. dispensable nerves and arteries cf its life. (Urol us Irnii2itic Presentation. The London correspondent of the Boston Advertiser witnessed in a hall holdi' g nearly 15,000 people a represen tation of the siege of tra-loiirg, which brought out the Engli-h sympathy for France in an amusing manner. The performance introduced some 700 per formers, and was given by a curious company. A large painting of the cita del was exhibited and the manager of the troupe, determined to display the entire rc-mirces of his establishment, brought in live sheep, oxen, two camels, r.vozebias and an elephant which walk od up the hall and p'lsed out of sight behind the citadel. Then the Prussians approached, upon which the French sallied out and gave their adversaries a severe whipping. Both sides carry off their wounded under a flag of truce, af ter which the Pru-sians return, renew the battle, fire their shells into the doom ed place, and the piece ends with Stras bourg in flames. During the progress of the representation an open carriage, supposed to contain the King of Prus sia and Bismarck, drives round the hall, and at every step these personages wre seceived with the English signs of dis like. The audience exhibited great an ger when any of the French were killed, and thiougliout the piece th" Prussian were groaned at. while the French were cheered to the echo.
