rf Regent of the State University were
1 in session at Lincoln, the question was
' raised vhether Nebraska was really en
titled to thirty thousand acres of Agri
cultural College land, for each Senator
and representative in Congress. It was
the deci"iori of lawyers who professed to
nave exani'ucd the matter, that there
was no Uw by which Nebraska could
claim ihese lands. Thereupon a memo

intr ( 'onirre3 to pass an act giving tlie.se
lands to Nebraska the same ns other
States. Our delegation in Congress was
written to on tli subject. The follow

How it Worked.

littli Calvin in the Sunday school about
'.rs evila which roiuk from using tobacco,
avl told him how, when he was a little
boy. ha met a gentleman in tho street
with a cigar in his mouth and had asked
hiio to lrow it away, and how the gen
tl. n;an aaid, "My boy, you have learned
a lesson," and never fmoked again.
S little Calvin tried it. II asked the
ft-' man that he met to "pla.' throw
at 4V that filthy cigar;" but the man
n't on his throw, and all he said was,
' I i! loarn yon manners, you little fool,

h. nosa bled. So little Calvin thinks

FATili A CIUt.T.
A. Boy Drowned In M Well.
A little Eon of George Scott, living
about nine miles from town, yesterday
went to a neighbors, a German. About
2 o'clock in the afternoon the German
sent the boy home The little fellow,
who was but seven years old, starteu in
the direction of his father's house.
Near his path about 20) yards from tbe
neighbor's house was a well about 12
feet deeD. which had ro crib or other
guard to prevent accidents. Near the
well, and probably in tbe path the little
fellow was taking, were two snakes re
cently killed. It is supposed that the
boy, startled by a sudden glimpse of
these, sprang out of the path and fell
into the well.
His parents became alarmed towards
night, at the prolonged stay of the child,
and some of the family went in search
of him. As the time went on the neigh
bors joined in the search. About 9 o'clock
at night the well was thought of and
proceeding there the drowned body of
the poor child was fouud.
This distressing accident is a solemn
warning to al' against the carelessness
so prevalent, of having open and un
guarded these fatal traps- Rvery now
and then we hear of just 6uch fruits of
this culpable neglect.
Tbe IrlKliraan's Water-wheel.
A son of Erin was recently telling of a
water-wheel that he had seen in Ireland,
which he represented to be fifty feet in
diameter, with a rim ten feet wide.
"Oh, that is nothing to what I saw at
the White Mountains," said a Yankee
bystander. "There they had a wheel
one hundred feet in diameter, to be used
at a four hundred feet fall. "
"Aud what did they do with such a
wheel as that?" asked Patrick.
"Oh!" replied Jonathan, "itwasbad
hay weather, and the farmers put a gear
on one of the mountains, and were going
to turn the world the other way with the
wheel, so that the sun would not set for
a week. But the Chinese found out
what was going ou and they went and
got an injunction from the Supreme
Court. They did not want to be left in
the dark, so the great wheel stands still
until this day."
"Ah : says J'atrick, "and what won t
the Yankees do next ?"

No intelligent business man now-a-days
expects to do a successful business
without advertising. Another thing
equally important is, that some judg
ment should be exercised as to the man
ner of adverti-ing. If a man adveitises
in a sheet having no legitimate circula
tion in the scopa of country from which
he draws his trade, his better judgment
should tell him that he is throwing his
money into the hands of men who have
no interest in his success or that of the
community in which he lives, and the
investment can by no means give him
any return. Keep your business and lo
cation constantly before the public, in
yaur local paper; otherwise, and just a
certainly as the constant dripping -if rain
wears its way through the sold rock, will
this kind of" advertising bring j-ou cus
tomers, who would otherwise go else
where to trade.
Dead, Vet I.iviurj.
Tbe cedar is the most useful when
dead. It is the most productive when
its place knows it no more. There is no
timber like it Firm in the grain, and
capable of tbe finest poli-h, the tooth
of no insect will touch it, and time him
self can hardly destroy it. Diflu.-inir a
Eerpetual fragrance through the chart
ers which it ceils, the worm will not
corrode the book which it protects nor
the moth corrupt the garment which it
guards; all but immortal itself, it trans
fuses its amaranthine qualities to the ob
jects around it. Every Christian is use
ful in his life, but the good cedar is
more useful afterward.
Luther is dead, but the rtformation
lives, Knox, Melville, and Henderson

but souls are quickened by the "Saint'
Rest." Cowper is dead, but the "gol

newly fathered in tho "silver ba.-ket" of
the Olney Hymns. Eliot is dead, but
the missionary enterprise is young.

A Virginia editor, in noticing the
statement tight lacing saves the country
$2,000,000 annually in boarding ex

that she could eat anything but soup,

Capt. Murphy and our friend Col. II.
M. an Arman passed through our city
to-day, en-route for the Republican
valley, to locate a town and organize a
new county. They have already deliv
ered about one hundred families, ami
will add materially to settling up that
beatiful portion of .our rapid'y growing

Nebraska, and being thoroughly ac
qusintc 1 with the country, we have no
dnubt that a selection will be made for
tbe town of Arapahoe, as it is ta be
named, that will cau-;e it to become a

I am one of those whose lot in life

World at an early age. and of nearly
twenty families in which I made my
home in about nine years, there were
only three that could bo designated as
happy families. The source of trouble
was not so much the lack of love as the
care to manifet it." The closing words
of this sentence give us the fruitful
source of family alienations, of heart
aches innumerable, of sad faces and
gloomy home circles. "Not so much
the. laek of love, as the car" to manifest
it." What a world of misery is sug
gested by this brief remark ! No more

i It appears that on the night in ques
tion, Miss Kate Manning moved upon a
claim, which certain parties proposed to
"jump" from her, with the intention of
holding it by possession. With the as
sistance of several friends, a tent was
fitted up, and about 10 o'clock p. m.
they left her, which was the last time
she was ever seen alive. The next day
she did not make her appearance and
about noon the neighbors became alarm
ed about, her safety, and em a ues-enger
to ascertain the cause of her pro.racted
ab eiic-". On arriving near the premises
he waa startled by the discovery of her
dead body lying facs downwaid, about,
one hundred yards from the tent, no
immediately returned and gave the
alarm ; and in a idioit time more than a
bundled persons were gathered around
tin? sc ne of the bejit rending tragedy.
A coroner's inquest was held at once,
when it was a certained that death was
cau-ed by two pistol wounds, inflicted by
parties unknown. One shot passed
through the body just above the left
breast, and the other through he head,
entering below the right eve, and com
ing out on the oppo.-ite side behind the
ear. Tnero were bruises on the head,
as though made by a pistol stock, and
her arms and neck showed marks of vio
lence. On examing the interior of the tent,
traces of a desperate struggle were plain
ly evident. And such must have been
the case, as Mi.-,s Manning was a strong
and rekolute woman, aud noted for her
fearlessness It appeared from the gen
eral appearance of things that the mur
derer gained admittance to the interior
of the tent before being discovered that
being then awakened, the poor unfor
tunate girl sprung up and discharge her
pi-tol at the intruder, as she had a Colt's
revolver, and knew how to use it. She
must then have been seized ty the wrist
aud then by the throat, when the pistol
was wrenched away and thrown aside;
it being afterwards found near the door,
with three chambers open The assas
sin mii-t then have placed hi own pistol
to hiT breast, and fired, as tbe singed
appearance of bcr dies would indicate.
She evidently broke away, an ran about
a hundred yards, and telf, and while ly
ing theie the second shot was fired, it
being so near that the powder burned
her face No other maiks of violence
were found upon her person, and no cer
ttin eau.-e can be assigned for the com
mission of the avrful deed.
A vigi!ant search was at once institu
ted, which resulted in finding tracks of
ba'-e feet coming aud going (Vaiu the
scene of the murder. This was followed
a short distance, when it was found that
boots or sbot.s had been put on. The
tracks wera traced to town At the
same time three men. living on an ad
joining claim were sne-ted, but nothing
could be Moven against thpm. Ill a lew
hours suspicion took another form, and
from certain circuiu-tances. fell unon a
brother of the murdered Wuinan Peter
T. Manning- and he too, was arrested.
A peculiarity about the bare foot mark
wa observed, as one foot seemed to be
slightly crooked. On comparing Mr.
Alanuiiiu s toot with tins track, it was
found to Gr it precisely, in every respect,
is one foot was somewhat misshapen.
It is known that he was absent that night
and it was abo known he had threatened
to kill her prcviou.-ly.
Taken altogether, the chain of evi
dence is very str- ng against him, and
but little doubt is at. present entertained
of his guilt. Threats of lynching are
freriy made, and should all doubts U? re
moved, I am of the opinion that the
case will be disposed of in a most sum
mary manner, and without cost to the
county.
This is all that is known at present.
Sh'iuld anything new come out on the
trial now pending, I will keep you ad-vi-ed.
Mis Manning was a most e-timable
lady, and the terrible termination of her
life has cast a gloom over our entire
community.
May the iron hand of justice crush
out the life of her murderer, is the
earnest wish of ail good men.
Pioneer.
No one can regret the sad fate of Miss
Manning more than ourselves. We
have known her long and well, and re
spected her for her honorable and indus
trious lnhits. She had been for several
years a worthy resident of North Platte.
She was about 28 years old ; by nation
ality Irish. aid in religious beiief, a
Catholic. During her life she had been
subjected to niujb abu e at the hands of
her hi artless brother, who is now ac
cu cd of her murder.
May her murder be avenged, nnd her
sou: find rest in that Blessed Land, where
murderers and assassins can never again
moles her.
Faith and friendship are seldom truly
tried but in extremes. To find friends
when we have no need of them, and to
want them when we have, are both alike
easy and common. Li prosperity who

bowed heads, with bending bodies and
protesting tongues. But whn these
pla ing writers begin to ebb, when our
wealch begins to leave us, when the
wavis of adv-r ity begin to gather
aiound us, then men look upon us from
a distance, and those who before bent
the supple hinges of the knee before us,
that thrift might follow fawning, look
coldly upon us. This is the way of the
world. Our fortunes and ourselves are
so clo.-ely linked, that we know not what
is the cause of tbe love we find When
these two part company, it will sr.oa be
apparent to which affection will cling.

Haw It A r to mi Outsider.
From the State Journal.
The impeachers having had control of
the telegrams to the associated press
ever since our "High Court" commenced
operations, tho outside world have in
general, become impre-sed with the idea
that nothing i left in Nebraska, but un
paid taxes, the Governor having ftolen
everything movable, and abo two-thirds
of the realty in the State. In fact,
people have written us from the far east,
in utter despair ovpr their little posses
sions in various parts of the State, not
believing that their few acres had, in their
absence, beenableto escape confiscation.
But to those who have taken a reliable
Nebraska newspaper that had sufficient
fairness to publish the evidence taken in
the trial, tbe aspect is entirely different.
Among "the many letters we have re
ceived upon the subject is one from our
esteem"'! friend Judge Graves, of Her
k:mer, New York, a gentleman of legal
culture and large experience in public af
fairs. e take the liberty ot making
an extract from if, to show how the
the farce looks to an outsider:
"I have read t he testimony L'iven on
the hearing before the court of impeach
ment organized to hear the charges pie
ferred again-t Governor Butler, for the.
pniposfi of satisfying myself whether the
(iovernor bad been euilry of violating
hi duty as a public officer, and thereby
disqualifying himself for holding the
high, and I trust, wo-thy position to
which the people of your young and
prosperous Mate have elevated him.
Although interested in your city a few
thousand dollars, yet I cannot see any
interest that I might have in the wed
being of Gov. Butler, which prompt me
to misjudge his conduct. My limited
acquaintance with hiiu while at Lincolu
in the fall f 1S69, arose from business
relations, in which I found him a prompt
and reliable man of good practical com
mon sense, and great energy of char
acter. 1 then thought him the right man
fo the place, and I have examined the
impeaching evidence carefully to see
whether I was mistaken in my judgment
of him as a man and public oilicor If
I under tand the evidence correctly,
which has been given, it has failed en
tirely to proe any corrupt design on the
part of the Governor. And the only
change which is sustained by the evi
dence in its most technical application,
is the one arising out of the $17,000
loan, and although the Governor may
have exceeded his authority by his act,
did he necessarily become a criminal in
so doing? The intent, the motive, the
de-ign in thi, as in all o:her cases, de
termine the guilt. Instead of relying
upon his personal responsibility to guard
against a loss of the public funds, he
gave auijle real estate security, from
which the amount could be realized at
any time, even on a forced sale. Altho
ail men would not have been equally
zealous with Governor Butler in making
investments, both for his own and the
puiuic interest ior nis investments en
hanced the value of the lands by creating
confidence in the mind of the visiting
capitalists, yet few unprejudiced men
could be found, who would convert his
public enterprise into criminal intent.
And I trust no court will be found in
Nebraska, or any other State in our
grand Union, which will ostrac.se a pub
lic officer where all the indicia of crime
are wanting. They should not forget
the moUo " Apices juris non sunf jus."
the ol servance of" wbieh protects the in
nocent and gives character and dignity
to the wholesome administration of tbe
law.
Unless the facts should be changed by
additional evidence given on a further
hearing, the court, I doubt not, without
division, will give a ju Ig uent of acquit
tal ; for, whatever political division or
I rejudice may exist in your State, their
shadow should not re seen oi feit in so
h!gh a tribunal, charged w th such grave
res onsibibties. A political judgment
would strangle the power that gave it
birth, and elevate the accused through
that public sympathy which persecution
always creates. Yours truly,
E Graves.
