Tromnf of ( rnni) by Inhalation of
Cilj-eerlno.
A German physician, Dr. ftehverger,
recommends the treatment of croup by
the inhalation of pure glycerine through
one or other of tha well known form3 of
atomizing apparatus. He was led to try
this remedy tor croup from observing its
f;ood effects in cases of hoarseness and
os3 of voice. After application the
cough becomes more free and moist, and
childreu are enabled to sleep almost
immediately upon being relieved
by the inhalation. It is, however, be
lieved to be of importance to make use
of the remedy early and frequently, a?,
if delayed, it may have no effect what
ever. If the glycerine be pure, it may
be used unmixed ; if not, it should be
diluted with a little water. The inhala
tions are repeated, according to the ne
cessity of the case, at intervals of from
half an hour to an hour and a half, and
for about fifteen minutes at a time. The
effect of the Klycerine in this case i sup
posed to be due to the fact that the se
cretions of the mucous membrane are
thereby increased, and tumefaction re

Knmfthins Abont Teeth.
Why do some people's teeth come out
more readily than others? The reasons
for this are probably many. About the
middle of the lat century Peter Kalm,
a Swede, visited America, and wrote
sensibly about what he saw. He observ
ed a frequent loss of teeth among set
tlers from 1'urope, especially womn.
After discussing and rejecting many
modes of explanation, he attributed it to
hot tea and other hot beverages ; and
came to a general conclusion that 4 'hot
feeders loso their teeth more readily than
cold feeders." Mr. Catlin, who some
years ago had an interesting exhibition
of Indian scenery, dresses, weapons. &C.
noticed that North American Indians
have better teeth than the whites. He
accounts for the difference in this strange
way that the reds keep the mouth shut
whereas the whites keep it onen. The
teeth, he says, require moisture to keep
their sui faces in good working order;
when the mouth is open, the mucous
membrane has a tendency to dry up, the
teeth lose their needed supply of moist
ure, and thence come discoloration, tooth
ache, tie-dou-loureux, decaj, looseness,
and eventual loss of teeth. Mr Catlin
scolds the human race generally for be
ing less sensible than the brutes in this
respect, and the white race specially in
comparison with tha red. We keep our
mouths open far too much : the Indian
warrior sleeps, hunts and smiles with his
mouth shut, and respires through his
nostrils. Among the virtues attributed
bv him to closed hps, one is excellent

TUB UtflXWAHU TIDAL Vf.lVE OF
KltiUATJOJ.
Br VROT. J. P. BCTLEB, LI P.
JScrlinutox, July 18th, 1871.
Frequent visits to Nebraska for two
years paj-t have convinced me that actu
al settlers are pressing into that Ftto,
especially on the south side of the Plutte,
in ever increasing crowds. But when
incredulous friends have called for ren
eons of my opinions, I have not always
found conclusive facts to support them at
hand.
The only infallible meter by which we
can measure the amount of the migra
tional tide is the number of homestead
ers and pre-emptors, as neither of these
classes can obtain land without settling
upon it in their own persons. Accord
ingly I have taken pains to examine the
records of the United States Land Om
ces in both Lincoln and in Grand Island.
The "former represents the movement
westward south of the Platte, and the
latter that on the north of the same
river.
The following table exhibits the land
business of the government for the list
half year at the two main gates of the

Tbese statistics mean that 5,340 per
sons have settled on public lands in
western Nebraska the present season
Sixty four cf the homesteaders were
women. Thin influx is at the rate of
nearly ll,O0 a year. Ka.h of these
settlers also usually represents a fimily,
if not actual yet prospective, and hoped
for in the near future. The acreage
they have made their own is more than
seven hundred thousand acres. The ex
act figures arc 700,300.
The homesteaders filing claims in Lin
coln during the first half of 1871 being
1,820, outnumber those who so filed
thero during the entiro year of I860, for
they amounted to en'y 1,S05 in that
year.
In addition to giving us an accurate
gauge of the ruigrational tide now rush
ing into Nebraska, the above tables in
dicate uutuiataliably die muin course of
that tide. South of the Platte the
homesteaders were more than
eighteen hundred. North of it there
were less than nine hundred. So the
prc-emptors at Lincoln were more than
two thousand, while at Grani Island
they were less than six hundred. Again,
while the acres occupied were over half
a million (507,720), south of the Platte,
north of it they were less than two hun
dred thousand (192,034).
It is further worth notice that the I.
& M. ltailroad sold lands from their gov
ernment grant along their line to seven
teen hundred and thirty-two actual set
tiers last year, and they are selling this
year still faster.
The proof seems conclusive that the
Gulf stream of migration in Nebraska is
setting strongest south of the Platte
River, where the Ii. & M. II. R., the
initials of the "Rest Midland Route,"
or of the 'Reef and Maize Route," just
in the latitude of New York City, is al
ready rpen about one hundred miles
westward from riattsmouth, and will be
fore winter open a huudred miles fuithcr
This region draws the multitude. When
Beecher was asked how a stranger in
Brooklyn could find his way to the Ply
mouth Church, he answered. Follow the
crowd! No better advice can be given
to a stranger who hunts land in Nebras
ka. Follow the crowd to Lincoln to
homesteads pre-emptions; or to rail
road lands. Follow the 3,871 who have
just secured farms iu Lincoln. You can
not go amiss.
The proverb, 4,as good fi.ih in the sea
as ever was caught," will be always true;
but Uncle Sam cannot alway give us a
farm in Nebraska. Wide as the s-a of
land is, settlers will soon ab-orb it ail, as
they have drunk up Iowa already

that took mo from town and kept me

to Swan City was a source of pleas.mt
astonishment. Think of it! Only five
years ago a "howling wilderness," a:;d
to-day an almost unbroken field of rii

saw, twelve miles in extent, sending
along the west bank of the llu from
Crete nearly to Swan City no f'once to
obstruct the vision but a waving t.ea

the proposed route of the North and
South Railroad up the Blue, which will
cross or join the B. & M. at this city.

He was master of his subject ready and
correct in his ideas, choice in his Ian

him as one among those in the legal van.
