-The folio wiog ia from the pea of Hon.
Geo. W Frost, through the columns of
the Omaha Herald:
"Iricnd Ilathaway is after our cotem
porary 'over the way' with a sharp stick,
and we would with becoming modesty,
in the most 'pquare toed' (vide T, fc li. )
manner, inquire whether the 'report' of"
one of the .foremost men of Massachu
setts wa3 true, that brother Thomas' pro
clivities arc all Democratic, and that he
edited, ia a 'square toed' manner, a
'square toed' Democratic sheet, either
in the old Bay State or elsewhere, pro
vious to studying the in3 aud outs of Ne-
.braska politics.
"We do not quite credit this, but one
of our oldest and foremost Republicans
declares that it is so, and furthermore
asserts that in his opinion the Tribune
and KrpuLucan, under Us editorial lead
is last uecewing Democratic.
"V'e know this is not the case with
the proprietors of that paper, but it3 ed
ltor can now rise and ems
"This ia the way I long hare ocs;"it."
and if properly penitent and wi!h froo'
aAsnranes of the future, he will, we have
no doubt, be received to the iold.
We have long been sati.-fied that Mr
Thomas' proclivities were all Democratic,
although, we never before knew that he
had acknowledged the faith. There arc
certain "car mirks" which cannot well
be LiJ in such matters, and Mr. Thoma
has exhibited them quite plainly since
hi3 first advent into our State. We b
licve Mr. Fro,t was one of the original
stockholders in the Tribune, while Mr.
Thomas was commander in chief of that
concern, and he should be good authori

and it is no use to try to hide it. The
above only confirms the report that Mr.
Thomas was being discharged on ac
count of his Democratic proclivities or
rather because of the injury he has
done the Republican party of this State
from his course as editor of what was
conceded as one of the leading party
papers of the State. Let all good Re
publicans rejoice that the proprietors of
the Republican have the determination
to rid theeiselves of this political leper.
ltlver MtTl;ation.
Of the enterprise proposed by New
Orleans; to supply our V estern rivers
with iroa barges for the transportation
of grain, the Kansas City Journal of
Commerce says:
"The question of remodeling the ma
rine of the Western rivers by substitut
ing iron for wood in the construction of
steamboats, has been discussed for years
and is now about to assume definite
shape by the erection of an iron boat
building yard at some point in the Mis
sissippi Valley. It has been demon
strated that an iron steamer will carry,
on four feet of water, the same load
that a wooden cne will on six feet, thus
practically improving the capacity of our
river channels by two feet depth of
water. An improvement of this charac
ter would entirely change the conditions
of navigation in the Missouri, and tend,
beyond anything else, to restore to this
valley the importance onee attached to
the river aj a means of transit and a
channel of commerce. The proposition
is oho involving vast interests."
"Very Alarmin; it True A Plajjiic of
Darkness Coming-.
A very disagreeable prophesy is quot
ed by the Journal de Brvxellcs. The
prophecy is attributed to the venerable
Anna Maria Taigi, and is to the effect
that two great chastisements may be ex
pected the one from heaven, the other
from earth. The latter, which will con
sist in wars, revolutions and other cala
mities, being terminated, that from
heaven will succeed, and is explaiued as
fallows : "Great darkness i3 to prevail
over the whole land during three days
and three nights. It will be eo thick
that absolutely nothing will be visible,
and will be accompanied by pestilence
which will chiefly fall on the enemies of
relisicn, although the scourge will not be
entirely confined to them. While this
darkness lasts, no lights will shine, no
fire will have any brightness, and on
ly those who have blessed things (can
dles?) will be able to see. All this ii
very horrible, and it is to be hoped that
the lady may be mistaken in her pre
dictions, end that they may turn out to
be as erroneous as that of the great
tidal wave which was the other day to
have destroyed New Orleans. The pro
phetess, however, gives full directions as
to the proper course to be pursued dur
ing this reign of darkness and pestilence.
People are exhorted to not endeavor to
scan the heavens curiously during the
darkness, for whosoever shall go and
look out of a window, or leave his house
for the purpose of descrying the firma
ment, will be immediately struck down.
The whole time that the judgment shall
last ought to be employed in prayer, and
above all in reciting the Holy Rosary.
The director of Anna Maria Taigi said,
in August 1864 : "It is most true that
the venerable servant of God announced
the scourge of three days' darkness, ex
tending over the whole earth. While it
lasts the windows must be kept closed.'

poses to write a book on insanity; and
judging from some of the productions of
his pen, that is hi3 best holt.

Dead.
Mrs LcGrande, the woman who on
the 30th of Sept last, was shot while on
the Fair Grounds, lingered until 10
o'clock on last Sabbath evening when she
passed from out of this world of pain
and suffering, aged 21 years, 4 months
and 4 days. Thus through the freak of
a drunken fellow, has a woman lost her
life, a husband a wife, mother a daugh

DEAD BODIES.
The action of a railroad conductor a
few days since draws attention to a pop
ular error. 1 he train struct a man on
the t lack and threw him into the eow-
catchc-r of the engine. Supposing him
to be dead, the conductor, without re
moving the body, started the train back
to a way station. Th body was shaken
to the irroui'id by the motion of the en
gine, and it was found that life still re
mamcd. Had he been taken on when
the accident first occurred there migh
have been a chance of his recovery. The
conductor, when asked why not the man
was at once taken up, replied that he
supposed he had no richt to remove a
body until a coroner had sccu it. Sin
gular as this reason may appear, it nev
erlheios expresses a superstition that
exists almost universally throughout the
country among all classes. At what no
riod cr in what manner this absnrd be
lief originated we can not fay. It may
have grown out of a statute of Edward
I., which rendered it imperative that the
jury should hold their deliberations su
pervtuum corportj within sight ot the
lody a custom which has at the present
day aiso become obsolete, as it is con
sidered sufficient for the jury merely to
view the body although they may not
sit for several weeks afterward. In what
ever manner the idea expressed or acted
upon by the conductor originated, it is
time that it should cease to exist. The
neglect to give immediate aid to a per
son found apparently dead, irom light'
ning or other causes, may frequently
lead to death.

Herds of cattle bask in the sunshine on

with their feet the grand mysterious

What Pleuses the Public?
Talking the other day with an able
and popular lecturer, who seldom failed
in getting a full and attentive audience.
we ventured to ask him what kind of
subjects and what style of treatment he
thought the public liked best. "Well,"
was the reply, "I hardly know; but
there's one secret I've found out what
the public hates is information." Pe?pe
go to scientific lectures, no doubt; they
would go to see a lrcck play it it was
the fashion; but the exuberant chuckle
of laughter with which the weakest at
tempt at a joke on the lecturer s part is 1
welcomed by the gravest audience, is
nroof nuite stroncr cnouch of the weak
ness of the natural man over tha dry
husks of instruction, and his dcnght
when anything turns up that has an un
expected flavor. It suggests the feeling

An Indiana editor gives this to the
world as an argument that the women of
his state arc well prepared tor the duties
of avoting citizen: "A Harrison county
girl recently knocked her mother down
with a rolling pin, and in turn was
choked by her father until "her tongue
hung out of her mouth. In a short time
mother and daughter recovered, and
pitched into the old gentleman with roll
ing pin and table-forks, nearly ruining
his arm with the latter. The daughter
then threw all of the dishes out of the
window."
The only thing peculiar which has
thus far occurred in the reception of the
Grand Duke Alexis was when he entered
the house of Minister Catacazy, at
Washington. Madam Catacazy met him
at the door, holding in one hand a eold
salt-cellar, and in the other a loaf of
Russian bread, which she passed to Al
exis, who handed them to one of his
suit. This little ceremony was in ac
eordancc with an ancient custom of hos
pitality, in vogue when a royal family
visits a subject.
An English lady of high rank, at the
close of the war, asked Victoria, the

wife, mother, or betrothed of the man
in the German army most distirguished

cross of fold and jewels in token of his
achievement. The investigation has
been going on sver since, and at last the
honor falls upon Lieutenant Branden
burg, of the first Lower Silesian infantry,
who, by his magnificent courage, took
the first cannon fron the enemy at Worth.
The first A'en Hpiipcr in America.
In Buckingham's "Newspaper Spe
cimens,' we find that the first attempt to
set up a newspaper in North America, so
far as can to ascertained from existing
records, or from tradition, was made in
Boston in the year 1690. Only one co
p"y is known to be in existence, and this
is deposited in the State paper office in
London.
Number one of this paper, and prob
ably the oi.ly number ever published, is
dated September 25, 1690. Immediate
ly on its publication the legislative auth
orities spoke of it as a pamphlet, stated
that it was an art contrary to law, and
contained "reflection of a very high nat
ure." They strictly forbade "anything
in print without license first obtained
from those appointed by the govtrnment
to grant the same."
Advertising.
A sagacious and successful business
man makes the following valaable sug
gestions regarding economy ia advertis
ing: "Merchants are importuned almost
every day by tramp3 to give them from
five to twenty-live dollars, for insert'ng
cards in directories for this and that.
Common sense ought to tell a man that
it he has any money to spend in advertis
ing, the proper way to do is to advertise
in his home paper, and then order
hundred or a thousand extra copies and
mail them to customers. By this means
you not only encourage j-our home paper,
but at the samo time you get a direct
benefit from advertising, and also benefit
the town, lor its papers go out among
the very class of people you want to
reach, telling its advantages as a place
of trade, while twenty five dollars may
be invested in a card in a directory, that
is got up to advertise other places and is
thrown away and never seen. Uucha-

that the only man who could remove it

five thousand francs to take it down. So

Some ladies in Texas were desirous o
doisg honor to the editor of a local jour
nal. So they presented their hero with
an embroidered shirt, which contained a
splendid history of Texas, and also pic
turesof the fruits and cereals of the State,
all worked in red worsted. Now this
particular editor had never worn a shirt
and supposed the brilliant specimen be
fore him to be a banner for an approach
iug temperance procession. In his
speech of thanks he puzzled the lady don
ors by declaring that he would "fling it
out forever to the breezes of heaven, that
they might kiss its folds, and till his hand
palsied it should never be trailed in the
dust." The ladies blushed aud regretted
having made it too long. Being inform
ed of the purpose of the gift, the editor
wove it over hi3 coat, to the great edi
fication of the boys of the town, who
followed him in regiment, studying the
history of the fine arts and of Texas be
hind his back."

A young hopeful's mother reached for

The manner of doing things is often

the manner of doing it.
Here ia a new story about Dean Rich
mond: A modest printer's devil in Alba
ny entered the manager's office, fearing
that he would be rudely rebuffed when
he made his mission known. After a
moment's hesitation, he said, falteringlj':
"Mr. Richmond, I believe?" "Yes; what
do you want of me?" "I should like to
tret a pas3 from Albany to Buffalo."
"On what grounds do you ask for a
pass? (This with a rising and very rough
voice.) "On the grounds, sir, that I
don't want to pay my fare." Richmond,
without another word, wrote out a pass
and handed it to the applicant. The
boy took it, saying, "Thank you, thank
you, Mr. Richmond." "You needn't
thank me. I am glad to accommodate
you. You are the first person I've ever
known to ask for a pass on the right
grounds."
A young lady, with a number of oth
ers who were injured by a railway accit
dent, was carried to a hospital. The
surgeon came round and said to the
young and fashionable miss: "Well, ma
dam, what can I do for you?" Said she,
"Doctor, one of my limbs is broken."
"One of your limbs," said he, "well,
which limb is it ? "Oh I can't tell you,
Doctor, but it'sone of my limbs." "One
of your limbs, thundered the Doctor,
out of patience, which is it, th6 limb
you thread a needle withf Mo, sir,
the limb I wear a garter on." The Doc
tor attended to her and then said,
"young woman, never say limb to mo
again in a hospital; if you do I shall
pass you, for when a woman gets so fasti
dious as that, the quicker she dies the
better."
Nearly two millions of the inhabitants

At a trial, not long since, one of the
witnesses, an old lady of some eighty
years, was closely questioned by the

of her eyesight. "Can you see me,"
said he. "Yes," was answered. "How
well can you see me?" persisted the
lawyer. "Well enough," responded the
lady, "to see that you are neither a neg
ro, an Indian, nor a gentleman."
The colonists at New Sweden, in
