LOCAL KEWS
A correspondent of the Liucoli Jour

land company to locate their machine
shops at Lincoln would not amount to
much, for he says they operate their
present line with only a blacksmith shop
at Nebraska. City, which gives employ-
mint to three men.
The general impression among men
who are posted, is that the proposition
to vote Lancaster county bonds to aid in
the construction of the Midland road
west from Lincoln will be voted down by
a large majority.
James Sweet fc Brock, of Lincoln,

Both articles should be .kept in every

The Statesman says Dr. Larsh should
be removed because he is not a compe

City, where the Dr. has lived and prac
ticed his profession for the past twelve
years, will be under lasting obligations
to the Statesman for this information ;
and we doubt not the State Medical So
ciety of Nebraska will vote that sheet a
leather medal for its discovery in de
tecting an impostor as a leading member
of their society.
We learn from the Chronicle that the
people of the river precincts iu Otoe, are
arousing to the importance of the Trunk
railroad, and the prospect is fair that
they will render a reasonable amount of
aid to whatever interest or company will
construct the road. At a meeting of
business men held a few days since com
mittees were appointed to collect ship
ping and other statistics with a view to
laying them before the Railroad inte
rests of St. Louis, as an argument in
favor of the road.

THE MACOV FESTIVAL
Last night was a success. We have not
learned the amount of receipts, but
judging from the numbers present they
must have been quite handsome. The
supper was excellent, the singing de
lightful, and social harmony prevailed
throughout. The prize pipe vrai carried
off by J. N. Wise, Esq., Master of Ma
coy Lodge, at a cost of $58.00. The cup
was voted to Miss Fletcher, at figures
which we did not learn. The whole af
fair was pleasant, and those who had
charge of it are entitled- to credit for
their exertions to please the people.
The Johnson Bro. seemed quite popu
lar uear midnight, and had it not been
already decreed otherwise we thiuk they
would have been voted the pipe.
, AN EXTENSIVE WORK.
Some idea ofthe great work of adver
tising Nebraska and Iowa by the B. &
M. t. R. Co., may be formed when we
say that, aside from all the various
posters, cards, circuits, maps and other
ordinary appliances for advertising,
which arc used by them in great profus
ion, there is scarcely an issue of the
leading London or Liverpool papers that
docs not contain well written articles,
varying in length from three inches to
three colums, thowing the great advan
tages to be gained by English laborers
and capitalists in emmigratiug to the
great west. While these articles are
written and published for the general
good, yet they are the best and most
effective advertisements that Nebraska
and Iowa could have; and show conclu
sively that this region of country is at
tracting general attention in the coun
tries across the water.
3f ANOXIC FESTIVAL,
At the last regular meeting of Platts
mouth Lodge, No. 6, A F & A. M., ar
rangements were made for holding their
regular Annual Festival, on the 27th of
December. These occasions are alwa3s
looked forward to as a peculiar- bright
spot in the lives of many of our
citizens. They are attended by a large
number of people who never attend any

JAMES SWT.F.T INDICTED.
Under the heading of indictments by
the U. S. Grand Jury at Omaha, the
RtpuUica i of Thursday morning con
tains the following paragraph, which
will probably be a matter of astonish
ment to many people in Nebraska :
"Uni tad States vs. James Sweet, in
dicted for embezzling $0,243.21, on the
31st or March, 1S67, while Collector ot
Internal Revenue at Nebraska City."
The Omaha Herald is still engaged in
trying to make colored men believe that
Democrr.ts are their true friends, and
cites as an evidence the fact that Fred.
Douglas did not receive as large a vote
as some other Republ can candidate at
the same election. Will the Uerald tell
its readers how many democrats voted
for Mr. Douglas at the same election. It
is said " the proof of the pudding is in
the eating thereof."
The Democracy don't take kindly to
Charles Sumner as their caulidatefor
President in 1872, no more than they
will to Gratz Brown. The fact that Re
publicans disagree on questions of im
portance or unimportance docs not help
the cause of Democracy so lon as Loth
parties disagree entirely with the Demo
cratic idea of national affairs.
It is said that Brother Brigham has
$21,000,000 deposited in the Bank of
England. This will support his numer
ous wives and children for many moons.
The Nebraska City Chronicle attempt
ed to be witty at the expense of our city
last week, because it was cold here and
pleasant there, and in less than an hour
after it issued the item a severe storm
set in at that place and came near freez
ing all their whisky and
thus proving a terrible public calamity
by causing a temporary suspension ef
business. The Chronicle should not for
get the story of Elijah and the bears.
The Omaha Republican and Herald
having discussed the merits of various
New England and Southern men, have
at last got down to a point where they
can talk intelligently, being on a subject
which comes within their cmn prehension.
They are now discussing the dog ques
tion, as to whether he really stopped,
and if so what for, and whether or no
ho would have caught the rabbit, if he
had not stopped. We advise those who
are taking said papers to file them away
carefully during this inseresting discus
sion, and have them bound for future
family and Sunday School reading.
Wood, of the Winnesheik Democrat,
advertises as follows: "The weather is
winterish, and wood will be taken on
subscription; likewise anything that will
do to raise a little Wood with."
Some one told Jem Mace that he
should make innumerable conquests
among the fair sex because of his stal
wart proportions ; whereupon the great
boxer replied : "My eyes, if I wanted to
make the women spoon on me I would
go and be a piano-player."
The smallest loss in the Chicago fire
was the burning out of 163 quack doc-,

Tbe Maatonie Sign.
At an inn in the West of England,
several people were sitting round th fire
in a large kitchen, through which there
was a large passage to other parts of tho
house, and among the company there
was a traveling woman and a tailor.
Iu this inn there was a lodge of Free
and Accepted Masons held, and it being
lodge night, several of the members
passed through the kitchen on their way
to the lodee apartments. This intro
duced observations on the principles of
Masonry, and the occult sign by which
Masons could be known to each other."
The woman said there was not so
much mystery as people imagined, for
she could show anybody the Mason's
sign.
"What," said the tailor, "that of the
Free and Accepted?"
"Yes, taid she, "and I will wager a
half-crown bowl of punch, to be decided
by any of the members you please to
nominate."
"Why," said he, "a woman was never
admitted ; how is it possible you can
know the siun ?"
"No matter for that," she added, "I
will readily forfeit the wager if I do not
establish the fact."
The company urged the unfortunate
tailor to acceptthe challenge, which he at
last aereed to. aud the bet wasdeposited.
The woman got up and took hold of
the tailor Ly the collar, faying :
"Come, follow me;" which he did
trembling, fearing he was to undergo
some part of the discipline in the mak
ing of a mason, of which he had heard
a most dreadful report.
She led him into the street, and point
ing to tho sign of the "Lion and tho
Lamb," asked him whose sign it was.
He answered that "it was Mr. Lor
derV( the name of tho innkeeper).
"Is he a Freemason."
"Yes."
"Then," said the women, "I have
shown you the sign of a Free and Ac
cepted Mason."
The lauxh was much against poor
snip for being taken in, that it was with
some difficulty he could be prevailed on
to partake of the punch.
Theodore Tilton is giving a lecture on
"Home Sweet Home," to audiences,
who are led to wish he would stick to his
subject.
Miss Kane, of Baltimore, set out to
write a list of the wrongs of women,
but found so many of them that she was
driven to the conclusion that women suf
for a wrong in being born at all. This
disposes of tho whole question in a nut
shell. The newest word out is itzecuintepoi
zothe, and it means in English a man
who can't take a joke, and "gets his
back up" at the merest trifle. Its Mexi
can definition is a hunchback dog.
Before hanging a man in Louisana
they let from fifteen to forty reporters
"interview" him for three week.-. The
poor fellow is then not only willing but
anxious to be hung.
A clergyman was asked whether the
mem! ers ot his church were united.
He replied that they were perfectly
unted -frozen together.
A traveler says that outside of the
Established Church he heard not a sin
gle minister in England read his sermon.
Spurge m had but a scrap of paper be
fore him. Dr. Cummins held a small
copy of the New Testament in his hand,
from which he read passages confirming
the views he advanced.
The editor of one of the red-hot Tem
perance papers down iu Indiaua, never
leaves an opportunity to punch
up the whisky fellows. The office at
wbich the inside of his paper was print
ed was burned up at Chicago. The pro
fane press of the Slate jeered at him be
cause his insides were burned out, to
which he nolemnly replied.
"Gur paper had "its insides burned
out by the Chicago fire last week, but
that was nothing for editors to make
sport of, whose -insides are burned out
with "rot gut whisky.'' Our injuries
aro repaired, while theirs are kindling
for the fire that is not quenched. Jour
