which the women of the State will be iu

bv -.nv but a few persons cf disordered

would be to refer the matter primarily to
the women alone. Then it might be
known, before proceeding further with
iii- usMori or action, whet her or no a ma

the sex are actually willing to assume the
ibiiies and responsibilities of political
life. If this i.s not dune, and the Con

sexes upon the endowment of women
with the li.'ht of suiTrajie, it ou.zht at
least to be sti i ulated that if a unj irity
f the women vote against the proposi
tion, even though the preponderance ol
tlm whide vote is the other way, then
tli article should be counted as rejected.
It is certain that many highly cultivated

That i heir enterprise arid industry has
been well awarded, the billowing extract
from a le'.ter written Ly Mr. S. to the
liecnrd Will show :
'We struck the bed of solid coal at a
depth of furty-sevcn sect from the sur
taee. At a depth ot twenty seven leet
wc sdru.k a tr.tum of lime rock, thio
which we bored seven lei t : we tin n
came to a hard, gray, sand rock, eight
feet in thickness; below tins we struck
a thin vein of coal, two or three incites
in thickne.-s ; and below this we found
the slate rock, so universally overlying
coal beds. We next .-truck the conl. in
to which wc bored four feet and a half."
Mr. Stoekham thinks he has a vein at
lea-it twelve feet, an I perhaps Lfttcu
feet, in thkkness.
C'oal tuen will at once uot.ee the fact of
the lime-tone overlying the coal, and
thus rendering it easy to work, and at a

In the Constitutional Convention on
Wednesday a motion to strike the word

t .vcl.e votes. The more prominent gen
tlemen voting therefor, were (Jen. Man

members may bo regarded as uncondi
tional friends of the issue. The ques
tion was again sprung incidentally on the
second section ot the report of the com
mittee on rights of suffrage. This sec
tion empowered the Legislature to ex
tend the rights ol suffrage to persons
other than those named in the article.
On this section Judge Mason made a
short but powerful speech against wo
man suffrage. If any woman in Nebsas-

true interests she may as well throw

The Girard lcss is.-ues a -mall circu
lar, under date of July loth, announc
ing the total destruction of the 1' e.i.i
office. The Gre is anuour.ced to have
been the work of an incendiary.
We extract the following particulars
of the disaster from the circular alluded
to :
The flames were discovered by Capt.
Lender and Dr. Turner, who were awake
at an early hour in tbe morning attend
ing upon Mrs. Lender, who was sick.
The building was tired from the outside,
in two places, and when first discovered
the flames had reached the rcof, having
gone up the siding almost like a flash of
lightning. Before they could give the
Mlarm the flames had swept into the
chamber, under the roof, and aroused a
brother of Mrs. Was.-er's, burning hi
f;:ce and crisping his hair. Mr. Wasser,
his brother, and Mr. Morley, occupied
the upper rooms over the office.
Mr. Wusser's brother, aroused by the
devouring flames, jumped from his bed
and cried "fire," which aroused the oth
er sleepers. Our junior, Mr. Wasser,
rushed downstairs, and attempted to ex
tinguish the flames, but was soon com
pelled to go for help to the rfiunmit
House, but before th people had con
gregated, and even before the printer
readied the outside, the incendiaries had
left, hooting and shouting, and firing off
their revolvers.
No attention was given to the pursuit,
as all hands were engaged in trying to
save at least some portion of the ma
terial. The desk, account and subscrip
tion books, the little job press, aud a
very smali portion of the type, was saved,
which enables us to make our appear
ance before the public in this diminutive
shape, an ciirne.-t of the life that is with
in us and the determination that can
never die.
Scveial men were seen riding away,
towards Lightning Creek, and quite a
number ot shots were fired by them as
they left. Tl.ey were followed at day
light, ami a wuhij, in addition to -i Lor
and null.-, wen; tracked, having taken a
circuitous route, cros-iatr ar-1 re-crossing

To show that fire failed to con-ume the
spirit of the J'e.t editors, wc have but
to make a sinele extract f rom their cir
cular. It read as follows :
We do not feel mr pecuniary loss so
keenly as we feel the di-astrous conse

years ot hard labor and unceasing toil m

that no refrigerator or ice box will pre

Second, the inner lid, or cover, t-houl I

If external air enters if will bring if-own

be a drainage pipe, to carry off in.-tanta

the melting of the ice, and this pipe
should either be fitted with a "trap," or
curved in such a manner as to prevent
air from coming in where the water goes

Many year.- ago it was discovered that
underlying the soil at a depth of about
six leer," four miles around Charleston,
was a bed of phosphatie roek. Upon
analy-is, it proved to be adapted for t he
manufacture of a superior quality of fer
tilizer. These phosphates are the bones
of extinct animals and fi.-hes. Among
them have been recognized the bones of
the mammoth, mastodon, megatherium,
my'adon, negalonx, phocedon, and seve
ral varieties of the sauri. Also teeth
and boned of horses," dogs, sheep, cattle,
hogs, etc. Pieces of pottery, stone,

The first snake story of the season
comes to us from Marion county, Ohio.
The reptiles had become so numerous
an 1 fearless of people, that small chil
dren were afraid to go to school ; and
they even attacked some adults, several
having been bitten en their boots, and
it had been a common thing for fifty or
a hundred snakes to cha-c men, women,
and children across the prairie- A party
was, therefore, organized their de-truc-tion.
and the snakes were surrounded
and driven into a twenty acre patch of
prairie, and the outer edges of tall grass
set the to The gra-s burned well, the
flames rolling up ten feet high ; and, as
the line advanced, the snakes retreated
into the centre. Sometimes making
desperate efforts to spring through the
flames, but, the blaze being too havy,
they were killed in the attempt. One
blue-iacer. was nine feet four inches Ions,
a;.d seven inche in ci-enmference. This
is the first snake story of the season.

George Sand docs trie most of her

which logic bus no .-hare. Some-times
this process., le id.s her to impossibilities,
where she can go no further. Then,
