The reports of the U. S. Signal Serv ice Corps, as published in the Omaha journals, arc of immense importance to the communities in the latitude where the Ovc observatories are stationed ; but we believe that if those journals would exhibit a little more enterprise, and cn yiige the services of some icientific gentleman to deduct the inferences which the observations indicate, thousands of farmei.s and others, would be greatly benefited, and their journals sought for by a class to which the present publish ed observations arc, for the most part, unintelligible. It appears to us that there is no use waiting for the Washing ton despatches predicting the probable state of the weather, when Omaha en- j terprise could so easily finish the desired information.

Your Committee on Flowers would respectfully report that we have examined the flowers on exhi bition ; and, in presenting their report would say that we experienced not a lit tie difficulty in arriving at conclusions that were satisfactory to ourselves, in many instances, so well were the differ ent c!a:ms contested. The plants were generally in line condition, showing a skill in their management, that does great credit to thi florists of Nebraska. We found five hurdred and seventy .'even entries. The list of awards will show a respectable variety. Our time was too limited to enable us to notice at length the different varieties of the re spective plants on exhibition, which should have been done in justice to the exhibition. We would especially notice the enter prise and public spirit of 3Ir. W. J. Ilesser in bringing his large and beauti ful collection so far and under so great difficulties. While we have reason to congratulate the society on its success, and feel that, the interest manifested be speaks a brilliant futmuifor the horticul ture of Nebraska, we regret so many of the beautiful collections we visited in Omaha were unrepresented. . By the way, we observe that Mr. Iles ser was awarded some thirty premiums, on vegetables and flowers. FOIt IV A IS Til AT A it E OAKU.

The Elgin (lib Gaz'tte has the fol lowing article, which it would be well for thousands of young men and old ones, too, for that mutter to commit to mem ory : Of all the evils prevalent among young men, we know of none more blighting in its mora! effects tliati to speak slight ingly of the virtue of women. Nor is there anything in which young men are so thoroughly mistaken as tho low esti mate they form of the integrity of wo men not of their own mothers and sis ters, but of others, who, they forget, are somebody else's mother and sisters. As a rule, no person who surrenders to this debasing habit is to be intrusted with any enterprise requiring integrity of character. Plain words should be spoken on this point for the evil is a general one and deep-rooted- If young men are sometimes thrown into the society of thoughtless or lewd women they have no more right to measure other women by what they see of these than they would have to estimate tho character of honest and respectable citizens by the develop ment of crime in police courts. Let our young men remember that their chief happiness of life depends upon their ut ter faith in women. No woildly wis dom, no misanthropic philosophy, no generalization can cover or weaken this fundamental truth. It stands like the record of God itself for it is nothing less than this and should put an ever lasting seal upon lips that are wont to speak slightly of womn. A Hint Forcible.

A Joint-Committee-Conference meet ing of Soldiers, Sailors, and Firemen was held at the Board of Trade Rooms last evening Col. J.

The Committee on Invitations rcpo.'-; ed all those necees.-n-v as having been is sued, including all the papers in the State that on officers for the day had selected as follows: For Marshal, Col. J.

O'Brien which were approved. These officers will be required to wear the in signia of sash, sword and belt, and all soldiers a blue ribbon on the left lappel of the coat. The Committee on Finance were au thorized to petition the City Council for au appropriation of five hundred dollars towards the expenses of the celebration, it being customary in other cities for such action to be taken. The Conference Committee and Fi nance Committee reported jointly, their report indicating a strong feeling of har mony and determination to co-operate, so as to make the coming celebration a grand success. The Committees on Music and Fire Works reported lavorably, although their arrangements are still, to a certain ex tent, indefinite. A resolution was passed to request the Mayor to issue a proclamation asking all business men to close their stores on the Fourth. The meeting then adjourned to meet again next Wednesday evening to re ceive the reports of those committees that have not had as yet any sufficient time to act. Kits or Truth. In a recent number, the Denver Xcics, in speaking of the independence of news papers, makes the following pertinent and eminently sensible remarks: "In pursuing a certain Hue of policy, in advocating any great principle, in cxpos iug any overshadowing wrong, in any bold and uncompromising expression of opinion, a newspaper is sure to make enemies. It is sure on the other hand to make friends. A newspaper cannot be neutral. It must have opinions ; it n ix uiid to express mem. a i-.e puouc expect it and demand it ; and respect and fear those expressions. They criti cise less, however, no matter what a journal may do.' Editors soon learn to be abu-ed and become accustomed to it. It is seldom they receive praise. They are damned if they do, and damned if they don't, and so expecting to be damned any way, they go straight on in the line cf duty, regardlers of what men may say, anl determined only to do right. That man, or that body of men, who expect to crush out a paper that has stood up fearlessly for the best inte rests of the community ; that has never hesitated to defend the right and de nounce the wrong ; whoc inllucnce has ever been for the improvement of so ciety and the development of material interests, will fall. It is impossible. The task is as hopeless as it is revenge ful and foolish. The cry of "Stop my paper," is as ineffectual in checking the career of an independent journal as would be a command from the same lips to stay the course of the sun. A paper is true to the principles of honor, up rightness, and the common food, will neither be crushed nor crippled by any opposition which a bold and manly course may excite. It has been tried aud failed too often." A correspondent of the Tribune had an interview with Jeff. Davis at Colum bia, South Carolina, a few days ago. The ex-Confederate chief carefully avoided politics, but gave it as his opin ion that the negro race is dying out in the south, and will ultimately disppear. He did not think they were generally thrifty or inclined to accumulate prop erty, though he mentioned one of his own former slaves who now owned two plantations in Mississippi, and last year raised 2,100 bales of cotton. Davis is still popular with the people, and espe cially tlie"vouien of the South. Of the latter the correspondent writes : All through the South the women cherish a love for tho "lost cause" with a pertinacity that seems like a species of insanity, and the earliest instruction they give their children is to reverence the deal Confederacy, its flag, and its he roes, and to hate the Yankees and the very name of the United Slates. Even now, when six 3-ears have elapsed since the end of the war, these fanatics will not allow their children to play with the children of Northern peoplo, and a Southern women who ventures to asse ciate with the hated Yankee is denounced and ostracised by her friends as a rene gade. With what ardent love ought we to regard the word of God as our enlight cuing instructor and regulator. It is necessary to receive, retain and improve it as a powerful means to preserve us from fleshy lusts, which war against both bod' and soul. But terrible and fatal snares are the flattering words and looks of unchaste and light women. It is i:u-po-sib!e to avoid destruction if once we are entangled by them. And it is shock ing that so many indulge themselves in a crime so infamous and destructive. Ladies like compliments as children do bonbons. They will take them till they can take no more ; but if ever so small a one goes to another, oh, how they long for it ! "The war is a failure." VaUanJij ham in Sew Yurie in 1804.

In these days if a man has anything that he wishes to exchange, be it his proper y his labour or bis knowledge, it is expected that he will make the fact known through the papers ; speak it to the public ad vertise. We knew of a man who had a house for sale, aud the prosjic-ct seemed poor, other houses couldn t be sold. He thought to advertise, aud gave or de:s accordingly, but before the printer set up the advertisement, the house was sold at the owner's price. ' ' . Another instance: a woman wanted a situation to do housework ; wo had no sooner wii'ten it out than a place was secured. Moral: follow a good example. Do you want a situation ? Ask for it in the papers advertise. Have you a house for sale? Tell the public in the papers adver tise. Do you want people to call on you at your place of bu-.iness and patronize you ? (Jive them an invitation through the columns of the paper advertise. Do any ol vour eastern fnen Is desire WOst, aud ask you to give them information concerning it, the prices, etc. ? Send them a paper published in your neighborhood from which they can learn the facts; make your town or county known abroad advertise. 'oni and l'r!i. If Hogs are to e sold at low prices, what chances are there for any profit to the producer? To this we reply, the fattening of the Hog. even at the lowest price, will re sult in a splendid business lo the farmer The Corn crop is everywhere admitted to be immense, and will necessarily be sold at a low price, and the most eco nomical way of getting the crop to mar ket, as is well known, is to feed as much as possible to the Hogs, drive it through on the hoof. Every producer and intelligent farmer understands perfectly, and acts continu ally upon the fact that one bushel of Corn properly fed, and with good care for the Hogs, will make ten pounds of gross Pork. From this admitted fact w deduce the following : Corn fed out at 12 cents per bushel will fatten hogs at li cents per pound Corn fed will fatten out at 20 cents per bushel hogs at 2 cents per pound gross. Corn fed out at will fatten hogs at cross. 25 csnts per bushel 2i cents per pound Corn fed will fatten out at "0 hoes at 3 cents per bushel cents per pound gro5. Corn fed out at will fatten hogs at cross. Co cents per bushel 3i cents per pound Corn fed out at will fatten hogs at gross. Corn fed out at will fatten hogs at gro:s. Corn fed out at will fatten hogs at 40 cents per bushl 4 cents per pound 4," cents per bushel 41 cents per pound 50 cent 5 cents per bushel per pound gross. Corn fed out at 55 cents wili fatten hogs at c.-nt per hu.dtcl per po .nd gross. Corn fed out at 00 cents per bushel will fatten hogs at 0 cents per pound gross. Now, compute what a 250 pound hog will cost r.t a given rate for stock hegs. A stock hog weighing 150 pounds, bought at say 0 cent-!, will equal One hundred pounds weight added on ten busheN of corn, at 25 cents, f 250. Total value of hog would be $11.50. This would make the animal cost just 4 3 5 cents per pound, aud the farmer has sold his corn, in this calculation, at 25 cents per bushel. We confidently believe that there will be ample profit to the farmer the present year at low figures of Hogs; and it adds another powerful argument to sustain the positions we have taken. Exchange.

Cincinnati1!, June 15. The Commercial has a special from Lebanon, dated 11 o'clock, which says Mr. Vallandingham was vomiting, which was regarded as an unfavorable sig nantl one of hi 7-hysicians said there were indications of internal hemninrrage. Drs. Seovide and Drake ceased their fruitless search for the ball about an hour after the accident. They then closed the wound, and placed the patient on his right side, where ho lay, as white as the sheet upon which he rested. He was calm and collected. Cincinnati, June 17. Mr. Yailandigham died at eighteen minutes before ten th's morning. He went down very rapidly after ten o'clock, having no pulse scarcely after that hour. Dr. Dawson, of Cincinnati, arrived ai three o'clock, but was too late to do any goo-l for the dying man. Judge Hagres, his law partner, from Dayton, reached Lebanon this morning with other per sonal fiiends, who wore with him in bis last hours. MeGehan, in the prosecu tion of whose ease he lost his life, was taken from the jail this morning to his bedside, and shed tears as he beheld the dying friend, who had appeared during the progress of the trial to summon ail his enersry and legal ability in his de fense. Mr. Follett made bis argument for the State yesterday, and was to have been followed this morninst by 3Ir. Milli ken, and it was expected Mr. Yailandig ham would commence his argument this evening or Monday morning. Judge Pope, before whom the trial was prose cuting, adjourned the court until Mon dav. Mrs Yailandigham started for Balti more last evening, called there by a dy ing brother. Mr. Yallandigham's body will be taken at once to Dayton, reaching there about 3 o'clock. Cincinnati, O., June 17. There has been much sorrow manifes ted here to-day concerning the tragic end of Yallandighain, and it has been t3' no means confined to his political friends Persons who have differed with him, and animadverted severely on his course during the rebellion, have expressed no less regret at the terrible calamity which has befallen him, than have his politi cal associates. News concerning his last hours has been devoured with avidity. Newspaper reporters who came from the scone this evening, have been uilligeutly sought for more detail.- than have thus far been published. It appears when the pistol was discharged. Mr. Y. was hardly aware of the severe natuie of the wound, as he walked around the room awhile before lying down. Gov. Mc Burney, alarmed at the sudden appear ance of a tragedy, rushed to the adjoin ing rooms, and at once summoned aid. As soon as persons came, Yailandigham iaid it was a foolish act, and later adver ted to it as the most reckless act of his life. Though he seemed to be conscious that he was badly hurt, he appear 1 de cidedly hopeful. During the early hours the Rev. Mr. Hak-hr called to see him and Yailandigham, taking him by the hand, said, substantially, he had too much faith iu the Calviuistic doctriue to 14 V NO. VI belicTC he would not get safely through tl ii misfortune. Once he told the sur geons to take care of the pain and he would manage the rest. Wlien impre-s ed Willi the approach of dissolution, he was calm and met the news of his condi tion bravely. After JLr. Revets arrived from Dayton, he soon had the room cleared, and when no one was present intimated to 3Ir. Yallandighaui the very serious nature of his wound. The patient, seeking for something on which to build a hope, reminded the doctor of two bad ca-sses of injuries not fatal, known to Loth, and asked if this were worse than they, to which the reluctant reply wa-. possibly not. The doctor then told Mr. V , who was suffering fiom pain that they would have to administer medi cines of a sedative nature, and suggested that if he had anything to say, he had better communicate then. Y. then con vened with the doctor concerning pri vate matters, giving directions in regard to his bu-iness; after which medicine to relieve the pain was injected by hypo dermic process. Afterthis there was no time when he was not under the influ ence of opiates, and that effected some what his sensibilities. He nevertheless appeared to keep possession of his facul ties to the last. At 3:30 o'clock he seemed to be dying, aud his friends were called to the bedside. From that time he raj idly sank. The pul.-atiors at the wri;t : ji: -eared to have ceased, though he was remaikably calm so much so, that Dr. Drake said he w; s tl e coolest man under such circumstances he had ever seen. He still showed occasional signs about the face of agony. As death approached, his face wore tin ashy j ale nes4 his last words were a request for ice- aud medicine to aliay hi pain. In the last moments his face indicated great physical suffering. At eighteen arimites before ten this morning he died. His son Charles, seventeen years old, was with him from last night until he died. One of his nephews aud a nephew of bis wife was also present. Gov. MclSuiney was with hiLi constantly from the time of the acci lent until his death. The re mains left Lebanon at 2 p. m. to-day for Dayton. Cincinnati, June 17. The Times and Chronicle this evening publishes an interview had between Mr. Yailandigham and one of its editors, on Wednesday, in which Mr. Y. said, there can be no more politicaleampaigns fought on issues of the past few years. They are dead, and if the Democratic party refuses to move to the front to accept the new cid-u- of things, it will simply pass away, and some other parti made up of earnest progressive element of both the old parties will take possession of the government. When a--kod if he did not think the campaign of '72 would be fought on present issues, he said that it may be undertaken by our party, but it will fail. A year ago Grant gave promise of his intention to lead the Re publican party into a now departure, and lie would have done it but a gang of old politicians at Washington held him back and scared him with gabble about de feat, until he went sqivire back into the oldiuts. Grant is an honest man, and would do right if politicians would let him, but that they do not want to do. He took the back track on the San Do mingo question, in which, apart from the corrupt means used, he was clearly right. 1 tell you, sir, annexation of ter ritory and the control of all the outlay ing fragments of the continent, is the destiny of the American people. Y'e shall have San Domingo, and Cuba, and Mexico, and all the rest; mark that. We mi-:.:cd the greatest chance we ever had, in not getting Cuba during the Spanish troubles. We could have had it then lor the 11 ere asking, tind in a few years we would have been owners of the richest and most productive part of ter ritory in the woild. Why, they u.-cd to talk about me raid call me a disunionist. I tell you, sir, earnestly and honestly, that 1 never was a disunionist ; that I al ways did believe, and now believe, that this Union will be perpetual, and extend ed until it embraces the continent. His denial of disunion views Mr. V. repeated, with marked emphasis, iu re ply to a remark of his interrogator, that he could not see now the hatred exhibit ed towards him by the dead cause, De mocraev. in that party. He smiled and said, "Why, what can I -lo ; the Repub lican party won't move forward, it wants to stick to its old elothas, and my best hope is to get the Democracy to pu.-h to the front ? However, there is 110 telling what three hundred and sixty five days may bring foith : and of one thing I am certain : if the Democratic party fails to become the patty of progress and ad vanced ideas, aud I, from conscientious convictions, decide to act with any other political party, that other political party will never stop to inquire what niy past political record has been. Parties don't manage things in that wav." London, June 10. The Times' special from Paris says the Pruisians have evacuated Rouais and have left St. Denis and Goues.se.
