NEBRASKA HERAjLJOo VOL. 7, Chioaoo, Oct- 12. There va3 no renewal of (ires last night, and nothing occurred to disturb the city. lien. Sheridan has complete control, and confidence is fully restored. The various committees are busy, and now that relief is thoroughly organized all the needy are being relieved. At a meeting of the various committees from other cities, held in this city last evening, the following appeal was unanimously adopted: "The relief committees appointed by the different cities of the country, to bring supplies and investigate the imme diate necessities of the devastated of the city ot Chicago, ocg leave to present this appeal to the commercial men ami caiiitali.-ts of the United States. After a careful survey of a calamity un paral lel in the history ot the world, with the evidence before them of overwhelming losses, mental trials, individual puffer . i ... irigs, anil pressing necessities never oe-f-re experienced by any community, pray their tellow citizens, and especially those having business relations with the city of Chicago, a city whose enterprise, industry and inexhaustible energy have conferred honor on the American people, to sustain the business men tu this their hour of trial. The calamity is great. Ivet vour confidence abide with them and extend to them a generous liberality by compromise anil extensions when needed and by the largest possible ad vances in money; Fee that the hu.-iuess propriety or the city te rcrtored, the desolated districts rebuilt, and its great ness re-established."

The dawn of each ."ueceeding day brings brighter prospects for the smitten city, and the feeling of hope and faith is strengthened, and extended every hour. Twenty-one of the twenty-four columns of this morning's Tribune are filled with advertisements of business tinns who have already secured low locations, and arc either now ready, or will be in a few days, for bu.-iness. Stocks of new goods are already on I he way here. IJuilders are oveiwlnbncl with applications to put up new buil lings for business pur poses. One contractor hail last night sixteen contracts lor substantial struct ures to be erected at once. The Tribune's comim ndal article says there is still but little doing in produce circles, but commissi n merchants and grain dealers are hard at work preparing m open out ai',nin probably by the tir.-t of next wet k. Ma 113- are busy fitting up office in the vicinity of the temporary Hoard of Tra le rooms, ut Nos. 51 and '.','2 Canal street, heie the Hoard of Trade will do business till the Chamberof Com merce can be rebuilt. Sue grain is moving out, and four charters were re ported to-day It is expected that grain will be moved out much more rapidly towards Monday, as the bai.ks will be able to make advances by that time. So far none of the bank vaults have been found at all i: jured. Those of the Ftiion National, which were at lir.-t re ported blown up, are in perfect condition m far as the contents are concerned. The safes of the Fidelity Safe deposit Co. and T. 15. Hryati & Co., were found, when opened, to have no heat in them, and every dollar of the millions on de posit there is safe. Charles A'llson took out thirty thousand dollars in fresh clean greenbacks. The company have estab lished an office in the ruins, and invite all to bring their money and other valu ables there and depo.-it them tree of charge until they can get better accom modations. The agents of the Ktni Insurance Company are now a ijusling and paying their losses, which th"y say wi 1 not ex ceed two and a half to three nulliens of dollars. I 'ay, Allen & Co , wholesale grocer, were t he frst recipients f ten thousand dollar, they also received ten thousand dollars from the I'liu-nix of Hartford, whose claim agents are also adjusting losses as rapidly as possible. Win. Warm r, agent of the Liverpool and (ilobe Companies, this morning re ceived a cable dispatch from the e com panies, directing him to proceed at once with l he adjustments and payment of every dollar of their losses as quickly as it can be done. The losses cf these companies aggregate about six millions t-f dollars, 'lhe losses of the Co. ntuer cial Insurance Co., Albany is about $ 450.t KH). J. 1. Jones, President cf the Atlan tic Insurance Co. of New York, tele graphed their agent here to issue ma rine risks on any vessel loaded with grain or produce for New York in poli cies not to exceed fifty thousand dollar. in any one vessel. The following is a correct list of ele vators burned : Munger !c Amour's, Ga l 'tia, Illinois Central, A. Hiram Wheel er's,. National, and Vincent, Nelst n & Co.'s. The following are standing un harmed: lliii oi Central, Flint & Thomp son, and the two belonging to Munn & Scott, the two owned by Armour & Co.. the nurliugton, the old Iowa and the Il linois llivcr. The total amount of grain destroyed in live elevators is over one million six hundred thousand bu.-h els. The amount in store in the remain ing elevators is about five million bush els. The Supervisors of this county met to day and unanimously passed a resolu tion to rebuild the Court House with the various appendages as previously stated in these dispatches. Fvcry dollar of currency and funds in the vaults of the bmks have been recovered. Thi added to tie balances of New York leaves them an amount of cash means equal to 40 or 50 percent. It is confi der.t'y believed that at least 50 percent, of nil the insurance involved in the tire will le promptly paid. This insures the collection of at least 75 to SO per cent, of their loans bv the banks. Chicago October 14. It commenced, raining here about six o clock i u lnorninc and since hen Ui-i-izi.t-g - n.o.vji-i nave prevailed, ev er was the ratn trora heaven more gra -ful. The dust l'roai the unsprinkled streets and the burnt district, like a fall of sncw, has filled the air sin-re the Sre, to the dreadful discomfort of everybody. The atmosphere, too, has been so dry hot that breathing was difficult, and the parched lips and bloodshot eyes of every one compelled to be out attested to the furnace-like heat. Tli3 apprehensions felt by the waterless inhabitants of the unburnt portions of the city, in regard to a further conflagration, have been greatly allayed, too, by these timely showers. The heavens are still over cast, and it is to be hoped that we shall have a still more abundant rain, and that it may be widely extended. There is still considerable excitement over reports of reported incendiarism, particularly in the West 1 'ivision, and arrests continue to be made of persons charged with this devilish crime. The public mind is so sensitive upon this sub ject, however, that the truth of all these reports may well be doubted. That there are fiends who would not hesitate to apply the torch to what is left of this devoted city, is probably true, but the strong patrol which guards every street and alley, and the consequent certa:nty of detection and almost equal certainty of a most summary punishment, would seem to be sufficient to deter even the most reckless and desperate from sueh acts. The Tribune, this morning says there can be no doubt as to the only proper course to pursue with incendiaries caught in the act, ami that the fate of such miscreants should be certain and surj. Nashville, October 14. The Union Iteform Association of this city, composed of citizens irrespective of party, combined for promoting the great common interests and obliteration of sectionalism from national politics, held a public meeting this evening. Speeches were made by ex-Confederate and Fede ral soldiers, fraternal in feeling ami na tional in spirit. One of the speakers, an ex-Confederate soldier, who served with Forest through the war, said he had faith which no words could ex press, in the sublime significance of the mission and destiny of the American Union, eu logize I the national Hag as th? emblem of liberty, of men of all nationalities, and said the south must show to the honest masses of the north by eloquent action, rather than by fair promises, that our attachment to the government was sincere. Hon. A. S. Clyer, an ex-Con-fedeiate Congrct-snjan, and hitherto an active Democrat, took ground against the nomination of a Democratic ticket for President next year; said it as a duty the Democratic party owed to the south and the preservation of constitutional ibcity. Detroit, Oct. 14. The news which hss been received to day cotirms the previous reports as to the wide-spread desolation inflicted by fire in various parts of the State. From Fort Huron to I'oint Aux llorgu-s the shore is almost desolated; the inhabitants were burned out and obliged to flee for their lives, saving nothing in particular. The Manistee and Holland conflagrations also give a more disastrous a pect than first reports. All the energies of the people of this city are now directed to aiding sufferers in our own State, and contributions of money, provisonsand clothing are being made. The Detroit Free Press Company sent to the com iii ttee their check for five hundred dol lars, and the employees of thj same office contributed nearly one hundred dollars Messrs. Senator Chandler and K. I. Ward each contribu'ed one thou sand dollars. The employee of the Tribune gave over one hundred dollars. The Cen nil llelief Committee sent a special agent to Manistee with five thou sand dollars worth of supplies and $15, (MH) in cash; also an agent to Lake Huron with clothing and supplies. The com mittee has established a central depot fr tin' reception of clothing, provi.-ions, &c. Liberal contributions will be taken up in all the churches to-morrow in aid of the Michigan sufferers In most of the cities in the State rel'ef committees have been affirmed, and the good work is being pushed with energy. An im mense sum of ready money must be raised to enable the destitute farmers anl others to rebuild and purchase ncc f ssary tools and stock. Chicago, October 1 f. A furious gale prevailed here last night but subdued before morning. It caused much alarm to the citizens, and especially to those residing in the vicinity of the late fire. Fire brands were blown in every direction, skeleton wal's were prostrated and much alarm pre vailed, people rushing from their dwell ings into the streets in many instances, feaiful that their houses would be pros trated and they buried beneath the ruins. The excitement an 1 alarm was scarcely less than on the night of the great dis aster. Fortunately it had rained for 21 hours prev'ous ti this, and pre vented any conflagration as the result of the tornado. At the churches to-day a marked re ligious feeling p evaded, the theme of a'l the preachers being the great calamity- At a meeting of the officers of the Na tiinal Hanks this evening the resolution passed a day or two since to pay deposi tors and others in installments of fifteen por cent, was rescinded, and another resolution was unanimously adopted to resume business in full, commencing at 10 a. m , Tuesday, morning, the 17th in st. W. 11. Ilurlburt, I 'omptroller of Currency, announces that he has exam ined personally the condition of the Na tional Hanks of Chicago and pronounces them solvent and ready and willing to meet all engagements on demand. Chicago, October 1G. There has been a wonderful activity in the South Division, burnt district, to day. Thousands of men have been at work clearing away the debris remain ing, puting up temporary buildings, &.o Kvery laboring mm who is willing to work can find plenty to d at liberal wases. The action of the banks, ye-terday, iu resolving to open for business to mor row, and pay at once if called for, every dollar due their depositors, and the promptness of Insurance companies in settling tl c r losses, has inspired renew ed cnntHcrc-J-f mong cur business men. All looks we 1 for n bright future. The number of dead bodies brought to the morgue up to to-night is 107. Many who were reported lost arc alive and well. Among these arc Col. Stone and his wife, and Miss Dc Ptigrom who were stated positively lot. The Rush Medical College, the buil dings of which were distroyed, resumed its course to-day in the city hospital, -and lectures will be continued through the winter as uual. Tli 3 relief Commit ticos are now com pletely ortranzed ami working systemat ically, and the time for serious suffering is believed to bo past. The generou supplies of food and clothing received from til parts of the country, are being PLATTSMOUTII aNEBHASKA, stored and put in charge of faithful and competent distributurs who will see that nothing is misapplied. Chicago October 15. A meeting of the officers of the Na tional Hanks of Chicago was held at the office f the Third Mational Hank, No. 4'M, Wabash Avenue, on Sunday even ing, the 15th, at six o clock, for the pur pose of conferring with Mr. Hurlbert, Comptroller of Currency. .1. Irwin Pcarce, President of the Third National, was called to the chair Henry (Jreen bauni of the lierman National, was called for Secretary. A full exchange of views touching the condition of the Chicago Hanks, as effected by the great fire, was had, and it was ascertained by comparison of as.--.ets and resources that all the Hanks were sound and should resume business at once. The only do lay a.-ked by any of the Hanks was a sufficient time to convey the safes from the rums to new places of business, and arrange the books ami office furniture. Chicago, October lfi. The situation of affairs in Chicago are not materially changed. The announce ment of the banks to day to resume business to-morrow and paying deposi tors in full, has had a most beneficial effect among business men. The attend ance upon Change was quite large, but transactions were limited. Wheat is quoted nominal at $1.1S for cash : corn, at 47c. ; sales of wheat at 'Jlc.; lardjj. Ijoose freights firm. In live stock the market is quiet. 1 logs are firm, rang ing from $4.40 to $4.50. Later sales of wheat are quoted at $1.17 for cash, $1. l'.i in settlement. Sales of mesa pork at $13 25. New York, October 17 A Herald special from Gloucester, Mass., states that there is great excite ment there. A few days since the schooner K. A. Horton was taken from the harbor of L'uxboro. Nova Scotia, by a party of men who are believed to have been sent for that purpose from Glouces ter, and that the vessel is now due at that place. It is now said that a Hritish gunboat is sent in search of the schooner which arrived off Cape Anu yesterday, with the intention of recapturing and taking her back to Nova Scotia. A tele graiu to the Charlestown Navy Yard re sumed in the sending of a:i American gunboat to Gloucester, which, after tak ing several United States officials an I officers of the schooner on board, started last evening on a cruise to prevent the tschooner from being molested by the Hriti.-h vessel in American waters. Several officials and citizens of Glouces ter have gone to Huston to interview President Grant upon the subject. The affair ii believed to be one of great gravity. London, October, lfi. The subscriptions to the Chicago re lief fund, received at the Mansion Uou?e up to last night, amount to SI 1.00. he committee of American residents of London, also raising subscriptions, for the immediate dispatch of the money or gold contributed At a meeting at Hrantford $10,000 were received; at Dublin ? .000; at Wolverhampton and Glasgow, $10,000 each. Another railroad accident has occurcd in Scotland. A dispatch from Hany Hill, county of Jjouark, three miles from Glasgow announces the wrecking of a passenger train, by which two passen gers were instantly killed atd fifteen seriously wounded, London. Oct. 17. The subscription for the Chicago lle lief Fund at Liverpool to-day was $o0,- 1 M tO. Chicago October 17. Thu resumption of buincs by the city batiks to-day, both national and sav ings institutions, was regarded with great iritcrcsthy business men ar.d citi zens generally. Soni2 npprrhen.-icns were felt tint there might be a run upon the bank by the de;-o?itors, and the State Savings Institution had made preparations for such a state id' affairs by providing an extra number of tellers, and having a force of policemen sta tioned at the entrance to prevent a ruh. These precautions appeared rather ludi crous, when, instead of a frenzied crowd eager to obtain funds, a solitary indi vidual, most frequently a woman, would wa'k quietly up and ask for from five to twenty dollars, while quite frequently the callers were seeking the receiving instead of the paying tellers' desk. At none of the various National Hanks was there anything like a run, but, on the contrary, in many instances, more money was deposited than drawn out. The Third National Hank, for instance, paid out some $45,000, and received on de-po-it $72,000. The beneficial effects of the confidence thus cxh bited in th; banks by the peo ple, cann t. be ove -e t'mated, and in spite of the miles of blackened and still smoking ruins lying spread out be fore them, the people to-night are feel ing ahuo.-t jubilant. The police to-day succeeded in arrest ing Pietr, the Italian saloonkeeper, who stabbed and killed a man a week ago last night. The villain's wife was ar rested soon after the deed was commit ted, and held until yesterday, when, there being no evidence of her complici ty, she was rclca-ed, and being watched, she went straight to her husband at Austin, a few miles from the city, where his arrest was effected, and the murderer is now confined in jail. Many contracts for rebuilding in the burnt diitrict. South Side, have been eigne 1 to-day, including an entire block on the east side of CI irk, between Han dolph and Ws' i igton streets, Draper Hloek, and many other first-class build ings.

Fairfiell Lancaster, and Chester field, of South Carolina, in cases of per sons arrested by the United States civil or military authorities. St. Louis, October 17. Accounts from Northern Kansas say that destructive fires have been raging in Deer creek and Harrison creek valleys extending to Jefferson county, Nebraska. Several house, barns, and large quanti ties of grsin, hay and other crops have been destroyed. Many miles of fence has been burned. Loss, $50,000. The water is reported so low in the upper Missis.-ppi that cows invade the channel, and steamboat captains are hav ing cow-cat hers put on their boats. The Mont Ccuis tunnel having become so positive a facr, the French are figur ing on the cost and practicability of a railroad from Paris to Pukin. The pro ject includes the tunneling of the Halkan mountains, building n bridge across the Hellespont, and undermining the Hima layas. The cost of the subterranean work alone is estimated at about $45, 000,000. A man at Lawrenceburg, Pa., recently put up a nice house, in which he insert ed an imposing stone chimney. A few mornings after the place was occupied and a smart rain had fallen, he found a large hide in his root and two wagon loads of slacked lime on his hearthstone, limestone being the material with which he had innocently built. Nevada is capable of supplying the world with salt. It abounds in salt springs, salt marches, salt mountains, and great plains where the evaporation of ages has left deposits of salt almost illimitable of extent. For mining uur poses, the salt of these deposits requires only to be shoveled into sacks and trans ported to the place of use. For table ai.'d dairy purposes, it is not quite equal to Kastern salt. It contains a slight per cent, of impurity, which would have to be removed by rc-evaporation or some refining process to render it marketable for domestic use. This may not be the case with all the deposits of this charac ter within the State, but applies to such of them as have been worked. Within fifty miles of Reno, and not more than one mile from the railroad, are some of the finest salt springs in the world. One gallon of water will evaporate three pounds of the bctt qua'ity of talt. The new "f isting girl" of Preston, England, has been ' interviewed" by competent medical gent'emen, and is described as "a well nourished woman of thirty, who takes food like other people, and thrives on it." Her family have admitted the truth of this statement. Thus ends anjthr miracle. A boy in Nashua, New Hampshire, who three years ago swallowed a tin whistle, died recently, after presenting all the symptoms of consumption. We hear it intimated that several "splicing bees" are about to be held. That's right, boys ; eol j weather is com ing on apace, and it's high time to quit fooling with the calico, and settle down to business. The Apache Indians have a white captive, probably a negro minstrel with the burnt cork washed off", who amuses them so with comic songs and dances; that they will not ransom hiai at any price, and he dare not pretend to have a cold, or be lame, for fear they will scalp him. A clergyman passing a boy weepiug bitterly, halted and asked, "What is the matter, my little fellow?" The boy re plied, "Hecause we could hardly get enough to eat of anything, and now what shall we do, lor there's another one come?' "Hush thy mourning, and wipe off those tears," said theclergy min, "and remember that He never sends mouths without he sends victuals to put into them." "I know that," said the boy "but then He sends all the mouths to our house and the victuals to yours." Mrs. Hamilton, a demented lady, has appeared regularly once a month at the Mayor's office in New York for the last twen'y years to collect the rfiit of the ground on which the City Hall stands and which she iinmagines belongs to her She called on Wednesday and threat ened to go to the Ma3or with a club if he did not leave the money for her. To the assertion that Buddhism is equal, if not superior to the religion of Jesus, Wendell Phillips replied : "To all this the answer is India. pat and pre sent. The Asiatic civilization has fail ed from no lack of intellectual vigor or development. The force wanting was a spiritual one. From Vonfucius to Cice ro there is light enough, but no heart." James Gordon Hennetf, the veteran of the New York Ilerndl, has offered to give 100,000 toward completing the gieit Catholic cathedral on Fifth avenue, New York. Hut St Piter, a Catholic paper, replies to the offer by saying to (he aged, bed-sick prop-rietor of the fl- rahf, it would be better to abolish the personal column in his paper than give the money. "The new cathedral will be finished without this man's money, but his own soul can never be saved, if he does not, while he is till spared, de stroy that column of abomination, and shed many a tear of sepentance for the awful sin of having set it up." A New York huH-thicf, confronted by a boarder, said he was taking the armful of clothes he bore to be cleaned. The guileless boarder thereupon added his own overcoat to the number, lie finds they were e'eaned out. ."Josh Hillings." Henry Shaw "Jo.-h Hillings'' was born at Lanesboro', Heik.-hirc Co , Mass., where his father owned four or five farms, of several hundred acres, and was considered worth $4 JO.Ooo at the time of his death. He was odd to the last degree, and when he was married drove with his intended bride to New Lebanon, N. Y., where they were married ly a ju. tica of the Peace for one dollar. The Squire had ten children, (four sous and six daugh ters), of whom Josh, the second, fully inherited his fathers oddity. The old gentleman removed from Lancsbero' to New York, because of the too near loca tion of an iron furnace to his grounds. Jo.-h is about fifty years cf age, tall, round shou'dered, and with err indescri bable couiio expression cn his face, which he :ilway3 had. He is now srp-I'Cs-.: I to be vonh s'::t i Jlow t be Polite. Do not try too hard to be polife. Never overwhelm your friends by beg ging them to make themselves at home, or they will soon wish they were there. Show by your actions raiher than your words that you are glad to see them. Have enough regard for yourself to treat your greatest enemy with quiet politeness. All petty slights are merely meanless, and hut j'ounself more than any rue else. Do not talk about yourself or your family to the exclusion of other topics. What if you are clever, and a little more so than other people, it may not be that other folks will tnink so, whatever they ought to do. It may be interesting to you to talk over your ailments, but very tiresome for others to listen to. Make people think you consider them clever and agreeable, and they will be pretty apt to have a pleasant impression of yourself. Treat people just a3 you would like to have them treat you. It is much easier to lose the good opinion of the people than to regain it: and when anyone does not care for the good opinion of others, he or she is not worthy of respect. Do not excuse your house, furniture, or the table you set before your quests. It is fair to suppose their visits are to you, not to your surroundings. The whole machinery of social inter course is very delicate and intricate, and it is our business to keep all places of possible friction well supplied with the oil of politeness. Gcrmanlown Ttle-graph. Nothing that is not a real crime makes a man appear so eouteinptible and little in the eyes of the world as inconstancy. The "proud cathartic State" is what her loving sons call the Commonwealth of Kansas. It all comes from the culti vation of castor beans. Throw a bouquet and a card of thanks to serenaders when you can't invite them in. If 30U haven't a card throw the water pitcher or a bootjack. A patent wood and iron coffin is ad vertised in Sandusky as being "very de sirable." New Jersey papers announce the ar rival of the "right time in the year to buy grave stones." An old Wisconsincr celebrated his seventy-eighth birthday by ploughing nearly two acres of ground. A gentleman passing through a pota-toe-ficld observed an Irishman planting potatoes. He inquired what kind he liad there. "Raw to be sure," replied the son of Krin ; "if they were boiled ones they wouldn't grow." A physician seeing an old toper about to drink a glass of brandy, said, "Don't drink that filthy stuff ; brandy is the worst enemy you have." "1 know that," replied the toper, "but you know we are commanded by Scripture to love our enemies." General John a Dix is now a govern ment pensioner at eight dollars a month. He served as second lieutenant of United States Infantry (regulars) in the war of 1812. Ex-Collector Redficld, now a resident of the western part of the State, was a private in the same war, and was put on the pension roll last winter, at the same time and at the same figure with General Dix. The cx-Kmpress Eugenie is said to be in the habit of assuring her acquaint ances, very confidentially, that she al ways loved Louis Napoleon even be fore she married him but that since their full from power, his resignation to misfortune, and his patience in the midst of adversity have raised her affections to the point where worship is supposed to begin. The silver statue of Napoleon Iv which disappeared from the Tuilleries, and which half a dozen had been ac cused of stealing, has been found. It was in an underground passage of the old Louvre, with other objects of art, and has been dug up in perfect condition. The well known group, representing the Prince Imperial playing with Nero a favorite dog has also been discovered in a similar spot. No other boy k no xs how to appreci ate a holiday as the farm-boy docs; and his best ones are of a peculiar kind. Go ing fishing of course one sort. The ex citement of rigging up the tackle, dig ging the bait, and the anticipation of great luck; these arc pure pleasures, en joyed because they are rare. Hoys who can go fishing at any time care but little for it. Trampling all day through brush and briar, fighting flies and mu-quitoes, and branches that tangle the line, and snags that break the hook, and returning home late and hungry, with wet feet and a string of speckled trout on a willow twig, and have the family crowd out at the kitchen door to look at 'em, and say "Pretty well done for you, bub, did you catch that big one yourself?" This i also pure happiness, the like of which the bry will never have again; not if he comes to be a selectman and deacon; and to "keep store." An exchange says one of its composit ors set up ft, 500 cms in five hours. That's nothing; we used to have one that could beat that by a few cms, I 3' "setting up all night, and 'go home with the gals in the morning.' " He's quit doing so now, though.
