T"j to ho hour of roin;r to press we are unable to get anything later from the preat destruction at Chicago, than what appears in the morning papers, except, thit it is now sai 1 the water woiks arc not destroyed. There is no doubt that th'3 place where proud Chicago stood bi.-t Saturday is now one vast lie'd of desolation, and that little more than the adies of the great city now remain.

IT.KII APM A few of the Democratic leader? of thif country are endeavoring to capture the German vote of the Coun'y by a very flimsy trick, that of placing a Ger man on their ticket and asking the Ger man vote in consequence. The idea that intelligent men can be induced by this fliincy means to vote against a prin ciple is too absurd to scarcely need men tion. The men who take the German voters of this County for ignoramoses, t'ntein ft; wbeodled into this way o' doing, will reeoivc a just rebuke through the ballot-box to-morrow. Dj tliezo tricksters su po.-e they can induce in telligent Germans to inaugurate a war fare on naticnnlity, just suth as not only the Germans but all other foreigners justly condemned a. few years ago when Knownothinsrism was in vogue? Per Imps these demagogues can induce iu t'dlisrent men to commence a warefare which must prove disastrous, and per haps not. W e shall see. We have too inuch faith in the intelligence of the German voters to believe so yet. 7SEUUASKA ST.ITK FAIK FU 1ST 2 I am authorized by the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, to receive proposals for holding the State Fair in September, 1872.

I am unable to rec how you keep your paper so full of valuable local news. But every one to his trade. We arc credibly informed that there was a serious accident near Palmyra, in Otoe County, on last Sabbath. It ap pears that some boys went out to hunt deer. They succeeded La killing one, and wounding another one. The wound ed deer, however, made its escape to a neighboring canebrake. The boys went home and got seme of their neighbors to go with them after the wounded ani mal. Those who had guns surrounded the cane thicket, while Mr. Charley Yial and others, entered the thicket to scare out the deer. Mr. Yial unfortu nately wore a w hite hat, which one of the boys saw, and supposed it to be the deer's head. He aimed his gun, as he thought, low enough to hit the animals body, and fired, the supposed deer fell lie called to his companions that he had shot the d!cr, and ru.-hed to the spot, When, who can imagine his horror and amazement, when he taw his neighbor, Mr. Yial. lying before him, with a hor rible wound in his rinht arm. The ball passed through the right elbow joint, shattering the l-on s very badly. Dr. W. S. White, of Palmyra, and Dr. J. W. Thomas, of Weeping Water, were called to dress the wound. They think they can save the arm. The old maxim, no great loss without some gsin, appears to be true in this case, for the boys say they will never hunt again mi the Sabbath day. May they ever keep their vow, is the prayer of your liU'nblo servant. L. Ol'T IX THE COUNTRY, ) Ca s Co. Neb., Oct. 0, 171. j Mr. Editor: Having lately become a citizen of your Slate, and not having got connections formed with the news paper world, I find myself sadly behind the times as regards State aud county politics ; and would feci under oblia tion for information upon a few points. Fiom information received, it appears that your laws permit the holding of a certain kind of tinecure. Is it so? The thing is said to be in this form : A man was elected to the office, of County Clerk, took the office, and with part of the income, hires another man to do the work, and pockets the bala.ice. . If such be true, is our progress backward or for ward ? From just Mich things the peo ple of the oi l government of Europe are just now shaking themselves lice. Bat then, admitting the th-ng to be true, there ma be a justifiable reason for it. Perhaps the people, knowing the great executive abilitiesof that man, placed him in that position, giving sala ry enough to hire a substitute and pock et a suiplus. If I am right in this guess then I gue.;s it is all light. They, the people, are the best able to I e judg es of their own ignorance and his abili ties. Ana granting that all this is just so how very grateful the people afore said ousrht to be, that providence, or somebody else, sent this man among them! This Cinoinnatus I As for me, I would manifest my gratitude in a still more substantial form. I would pro pose that he be elected grand head cen tre, hub, spoke and tire, of the county government. You know the various of fices included therein, place them all at his disposal, and call hirn multum in pirro, and he, with his great abilities, would find men to do the work under his superintendence. And if a modicum of the different salaries should happen to slide into his pocket, what of that? Sure such talents ought to be recorded on enduring mud. Some people are so impolitic as not to see any beauty in such a state of things ; and they would rather vote for any other man to hold the office, as for instance that man that now does the work for pirt of the income, than to vote for this modem Cincinnatug. But it is plain such people do not fully appreciate the privi leges with which they are blessed. In happy England such things have been done to perfection. Town clerk ships and other such things frequently run in the blood of particular families, like woodon legs and bad characters But the blood is purely partrician, the families rich, and plebiau talent is em ployed to do the work. His late very Koyal Highness, Prince Albert, was per haps, the greatest sinecuiist in the country, holding, among others, the of fice of Chief Hanger of Windsor, For est, Chief Hat-catcher of the Uoyal Palaces, and Culouek-ies," and General ships, and so forth, with very acceptable salaries to each. I admit that this is somewhat difler tiit from our sinecurist. But the differ ence is in favor of curs. He, not hav ing half as good a chance, has still suc ceeded in getting in the thiu end of the wedge. And if he be let alone, he will, no doubt, rear a noble structure. For O'.k, I sry, let him alone severely. Truly Yours, AxriiE'.V SUi.Li.KAKK. S- ROM "I II K . r . It. Eaolk, C ss Co., Neb., Oct. Gth, '71. Mr. Hathaway, Dear Sir: I have been a resident of Tipton Precinct, for more than a year and the greater portion of that time, a reader of your live, little paper. But there is one thing that I am astonished at, and that is, during the whole time, T hive not heard one word from Eagle. Now I do not consider that your fault; but the fault of the residents of Tipton, who neglect to place before the world rhe inducements that the natural loca tion of the place hold out to those seek ing homes in Nebraska. Geographically, we are located in the southwest part of Cass County; or to be more exact, in Town 9, Ilange 10, and about equal dis tance between the B. & M. and the M. V. It. Us , or about 8 miles from each. For country, we have a high, rolling praiiie, whose soil cannct be surpassed for productiveness, even by the rich bottom lands of Illinois and Iowa. The crops are more than an average here this year. Coin being of the bc.-t quality, and yielding from forty to seventy bush els per acre. Wheat and oats of the best qualit', but not so large a crop as would be expected from the amount of straw. Potatoes, the best quality, and yield large. Homesteads all taken, but the B. & M. U. 11. Co., who are offering their lands to settlers, at prices ranging from eight to thirteen dollars per acre, on the ten year credit, and twenty per cent, lower on short time, for cash. For markets we have Greenwood, on the B. & M., and Palmyra, on the M. P. R. B., about equal distance, being about eight miles to each place. Both bid ding fair, in time, to make thriving business towns. Taking into considera tion the facilities, we have for stock grazing, and the price of lands together with our loeation, there can be no place that can offer stronger inducements, to those wishing homes. Politically, Tip ton is sound, casting at the recent con stitutional election, almost a unanimous vote for the new Constitution. Uelig ously, the people are about the same that is found in every new country, laboring under the disadvantage of a new country, such as want of ministers, to preach to them, and suitable places to hold public worship. There is a strong educational spirit manifested by the people, in establishing school districts, and building school houses. All in all, Tipton is as desirea blc a place for a man seeking to build up a home for himself, as could well be wished for. Ilcping to soon hear from sonic ons whose interests have been longer identi fied with those of Tipton, than my own have b:en, I clo.:0. A. !! P. We publi.-h an article to-day calling upon our people to give aid to the suf ferers by the fire at Chicago, Since the article was written, we have peon a sub scription paper which is in circulation, and being signed very liberally by our business men. OUR FILLMORE LETTER. For tlie Nebraska IJeraM. Hesi-eria, Fillmore Co., ) Sept. 30, 1S71. j Dear Editor : Hast one ray of pity in that great heart of yours, not already in lively exercise for the toiling thous ands of Nebraska's hardy yeomen? Then let us foul the soul-cheering influ ence of that sympathy which can flow from no other source save from the per ennial fountain of "our weekly news paper." We have often realized the fact that there is a kind of jxircntal breathing toward us from the sanctum of the Herald, when perusing its pages week after week, especially when worn with toil rnd weary with care. We are, at the present writing exceedingly toil and care-worn almost discouraged. Before we left the East we had made up our mind just how we would arrange our business in our new home in Ne braska. We thought to have a little field of wheat, some oats and barley, and a small "patch" of corn enough of each for bread, feed and seed a couple cf cows to furnish us with (strawberries and) cream, butter for our bread, and milk for our "mush" a small "patch" for potatoes and "truck" a small pas ture, meadow and orchard these, with horse stable, aud sty for the pigs tim ber, and plenty of good water we thought would supply all our wants and be to us a sufficient store of earthly bliss. We even went so far as to draw a plan of our homestead. Here we had timber and water, there the meadow and pasture here we had upland, there bot torn here's where we built the house, and fixed the garden and orchard we had this part rolling and that level. With these plans all arranged in our mind, we crossed "Old Muddy" at Plattsmouth, and "rolled out" for the valley of the Blue. We had not the least trouble to find and secure a claim that just filled the bill. Every thing moved on as pleasantly and smooth as the waters of our beautiful river, with the goose bird at a delightful atti tude. Often the past season, aa we sat be neath the old elm at our cottage door, and looked out over the fields of golden grain and tasseled maize, have we con gratulated us upon the possession of so goodly a heritage. We have often wished Uncle Samuel would make us a call and see our little eighty acre home stead, now we have it improved, and give us a chance to thank him for the generous gift. Dut, dear Herald, we have found that there is something to do on a homestead in Nebraska, besides sow the seed and sit in the shade and see the crop3 grow and mature. ' There's harvesting to be done, "you bet," and there's just where our 'bubble burst,' and hero's where we want your sympathy. We have not been as foolish as that fel low we read about who pulled down his barns and built "bigger" and then told his sotd to rest aDd take it eay. We Clled the old barns and new ones too, yet there is not room enough. Look at tne corn with the ears so far nn the sta one has to have a ladder to get them ; then our man wants more wae it is such hard work to pull the potatoes out of the hills. Our little "shavers" tip the basket on its side and roll the potatoes in it with the cant hook, and cfien cry because the potatoes are too big to go into the basket. Patience? Ila! Patience is no virtue here. Job may have had a few boils, but he never had a farm that produced such prodig ious crops he could not take care of them- Perhaps you think our case an exception, but it ain't ; it's just so every year, and the same with nearly every man in the Blue valley. To ba sure there are some men too lazy to sow, and who don't half cultivate what little they do plant ; of course they get a small crop of grain lut the weeds! Oh ! the veeis! The soil will not lie idle, if they don't give it grain to grow it will grow weeds. We thought the soil would get reduced after a few years, but it's no such a thing ; the oftener and deeper we plow, the greater the yield of every kind and best quality of produce. I ex pect you will say we are an inveterate grumbler. Who can help it ? In tlse East we had to work hard to get enough to keep soul and body together, and here it is harvest, gather, dig and pick for three months every year, and when done, we have heaps upon heaps, like Sampson's Philistines, which he put to the sward with the jaw bone of an ass. Then just as we get seated at the desk to write to ye Herald, here comes one ui;n who wants to buy potatoes and corn, another wants wheat and cats, others hay and bailey, &c., &c. And when we proposed to go to Plattsmouth for a car load of lumber for a new house, and a new "hat" for our better half, she suggests that "we go and buy a few good cows and some pigs, and stay in the old 'dug out' another year." She thinks the cows and pigs will pay be ter interest than a new house. What strange ideas some women have ! We have come to the conclusion that "there is no peace for the wicked" nor rest for the lafcy. We have got about through gathering in our crops for this year. When done, we are going on a regular buffalo hunt. We shall see Bed Cloud, Waterloo. Napoleon and Arapahoe, and a little of the world in its native beauty, and wili write the Hesald all about the sights we sec. Yours, Auaz. BEUBER THE SUFFERING. The world stands appalled by the ter rible conflagration that has swept away the proud and beautiful city of Chicago. A few short hours have passed since sho was the acknowledged queen of the great northwest. Her wealth and pow er extended over the entire world. She stood as a monument to the power of wealth, cnerg3r and public spirit, stand ing upen her oicn JuunJaliun built by her own hands. She was a little world of herself. To day she ia beggard a fear ful calamity has bumbled her to the dust. Her cry for help is heard aud answered from all the world. Thank God for the generous impulses of human nature! Our national firmament h; a been robbed by tin fire fiend of one of her brightest stars. Where i? the American who has not pointed to Chi cago as a monument of American In dustry. A sad and gloomy darkness shrouds our land ! Chicago belongs to history ; but her people live. Shall we sec them die, when it is in our power to save? No! this is not human nature. God made us dependent. There is a fellow feeling for those in distress. Every dispatch is freighted with the good and cheering news that this town and that town and that town are con tributing to suffeiing humanit- send ing forward money, clothing and provis ions to the one hundred thousand home less and destitute people of Chicago. Will Plattsmouth stand by, an unmoved spectator no willing hearts or hands to lift the burden fioin our suffering brethren in Chicago? If so, will an avenging, all-wise God stay the fire fiend from wiping this unworthy town from the face of the earth? Great God ! are there no generous impulses in the hearts of our people ? Can we not re jpond with our mite just o:ie car load cf provisions, if no more, just to take the curse off. We are not impregnable against fire. How soon may we call for help with none to pity. Z. CHICAGO I ASHES. Llternl Drilrnriion of the City. Elsewhere we publish a dispatch of yesterday morning relative to the de struction of Chicago by fire. Since that we learn from Mr.. Geo. Munday, mana ger of the Western Union Telegraph at this place, that the city is literally de stroyed. The fire has already laid waste almost the entire business portion of the city, on both sides of the river, and at 3 p. m. to-day was raging with unabated fury. The Court House, the Sherman House, and all that region of the city had been swallowed up by the fire-fiend ; the banks were all gone, the waterworks were destroyed, and the latest word was that powder was being deposited for the purpose of blowing up bui'dings to en deavor by that means to check the spread of tho flames. A prominent citizen of Chicago estimated the dam age, at 3 clock to-day, at ($500,000,000) five hundred millions of dollars. This figure, of course is overdrawn ; but there is no kind of doubt that the busi ness portion of the city is literally de stroyed. A well-made violin contains more than fifty different pieces of woods, the woods being three : maple, red deal, and ebo ny. The wood must be thoroughly sea soned, especially the red deal ; and the only artist of modern times who is said to counterfeit the works of the f reat Italian makers M. Yuillaume, of Pa ris has done so mainly by a most care lul selection of materials. M any a roof and panel from Swiss chalets have found their way into his workshop. Be the train ever to good, the material must have undergone the Mow action of time. ,tliy u ivur lrulur4 lake tlie rapcr. A Newport correspondent says: Sitt ing on the hotel piazza the other moru iiie, watching a group of young ladies, 1 overheard a curly-headed little maid en, who was frizzed, and paniered and puffed, in the height of the style, ex claim : "Oh I like the Independence best ! A moment before I could have sworn, that la Petite never looked at a newspaper, and surprised, I took the liberty of listening further. "The Tri bune suits me," said her blackcyed com panion. "I take tho Evening Post," chimed in, a stylish, saucy looking girl, who was pelting somebody over the railing with pon l Tillies a beautiful bunch, by the way, which five minutes before, I had seen a gentleman carefully selecting for her. from a little urchin's basket. And when. I wonder, do you girls get time to read the newspapers? 'Fold them four double of course' was the next sentence 1 c aught, and more puzzled than before, I very impolitely walked near the group, when everything was made clear to me by the blonde say ing: I hi! J nither have a newspaper anvdav, than the best pannier made in Pa'ris." Think of it Mr. Tilton ! Think of it Mr. Greelev! Did it ever occur to you, what a bustle you make in fashon- able circles f JosTi I2illlnj;si on Frea I.otp. I beleaf in free fight, especially amung cats and Iogs. I be'eaf in free rides on a gate. 1 beleaf in fruedutu of every slave on earth But free hive iz one ov them kiads ov frecduiu that it dou'tdo to be limber with. If this world was a garden ov Edin, and lull ov Adam and Eve, az they was when they was first launched, theu I kan imagine it might do for some other Ad am to hold mi Eve on hiz lap, and talk about hiz ailiniteeh add spiritoal essence aud play lamb. In them daze, there wa'nt no humin natcr, it was all God nater. Humin nater has been soaked so much sinse, it is tew weak to be trusted in a lot whar the 'seed is poor, next tew a aicddo, without much fence between, nor any poke on. Free hive wants more poke than enny other animal. 1 don't beleaf in total depravity un less a man has a good chance. Free love is a good deal like drinking a 0 shilling gin for a bevridge Bevridge is a Chinese word, and means cussedneas. And the free love i have witnessed thus fir, haz existed between a viilir nous lotcher on one side, and a lunatic virtue on the other side that haz been deodorized out ov its truth; and had lot aul ov its modesty and shame, in huntin after a condishun whar sin had ceased to be a crime. The fust free lover we have enny akount ov was the devil. Immense BuslneMs of the Pension Ollice. Th2 statement of the condition of the business of the Pension Officii on the 1st of June, furnishes interesting infor mation There are yet pending in the office 90,234 claims for pensions, of which 8., 114 are army invalid", 2G,0S" soldiers' widows and dependent heirs, 70S navy invalids, 040 sailors' widows and claims of the war of 1812.

History not only repeats itself in the world at large, but does it in the life of the same nation.

The empire pos sessed no element of stability, and has succeeded in the end by a .sacerdotal gov ernment; and yesterday the descendants of the lir.-t royalists celebrated, with in. tense enthusiasm, the first anniversary of freedom from priestly rule. Once umre is Rome a royal city.
