Til E OMAHA P. O. nt'DDLC. T
For some weeks past the public have
heard, almost daily, of littlo annoyances
to which the Omaha post-ofice force
have subjected Hon. E. Rosewater, pub
lisher of the Bee. A few days since
these apparently petty matters culmi
nated in those of a more serious charac
ter. First, one of the clerks publicly
insulted Mr. Rosewater in the post-oflicc
while in company with'a lady friend.
Next he was publicly assaulted and
pommeled by another of the clerks
. while getting his mail matter and then
hid lock drawer wa3 discontinued with
out any apparent justifiable reason, and
and he was coolly informed that he
would have to procure hid mail matter
at the general delivery. These are about
the state of facta as we gather them
from the papers of Omaha, and they
have not been contradicted, neither does
it appear that post-master Griffin has
made any attempt 10 stop these outra
geous proceedings, but seems to have
endorsed them. We have no desire,
neither do we intend, to canvass the
merits of the personal grievances be
tween Mr. Rosewater and Mr. Griffin or
any of his clerks, but only to say that,
no matter what the offence given at any
other time or place, or in what manner
given, no man who is employed by the
United States to accommodate the pub
lic in the capacity of post master or
postal clerk, has any right to assault or
insult any man who is compelled to vhit
the post-office on business, while there.
If they have personal difficulties to ad
just, let it be done at some ether place.
The excuse made was an article in the
Bee. The escu.ao is certainly inadequate,
and the man who assumes the right to
inflict personal chastisement upon an
other when it is his business to accom
modate him should be at once deposed
from his place. Mr. Rosewater has a
right, as a citizen of the United States,
to visit the post-office, and he has the
right to go there without being in danger
of personal violence from an employee
of the government If Mr. Griffin pro
poses to harbor a band of "bruisers"
about his office for the purpose of in
timidating and pnmmeling citizens who
are compelled to visit the office, it is
high time the public knew it. Wc have
refrained from comment upon this sub
ject up the present time, believing that
Mr. Griffin would put a stop to such
high handed outrages. He has not
seen fit to do so, as yet. Mr. Rosewater
may be in the wrong, or not ; it does
not alter the duty or rcsonsibility of
post-master Griffin in this case.

There were no entries for yield per

barley or potaties.
The committee dasire to call attention
particularly to the awards for fruit tree
planting and hedge planting. An or
chard planted at a total cost cf $35 30,
tnd a live fence at a cost of five and
one-half cents per rod, is surely worthy
the consideration of the farmers cf our
young State.

During the sitting of the court in Con
necticut, not Jong ago, on a very cold
evening a crowd of lawyers had collected
around the fire that blazed cheerfully on
the hearth the bar-room, when a traveler
entered, benumbed with oold, but no
one moved to give him room to warm
his shins, so he leaned back against the
wall m the back part oi the room.
Presently a smart young limb of the
law addressed him, when the following
dialogue took place :
"You look like a traveler?"
"Wall, I suppose I am ; I came all
the way from Wisconsin a-foot at any
rate "
"From Wisconsin ! What a distance
in nmG on one rair of lees."
"Did you ever pass through hell in
nv nf vour travels f
"Yes, sir; I've passed through the
outskirts.
"1 thought likely. Well, what are
tTi manner and customs there? Some
Id like to know."
:i"Oh. vou'll find them much the same
as in this place the lawyers sit nearest
the fire."
TWn Swift Bnid : "It is useless to at
tempt to argue s. man out cf a thing he
was never roasyueu unu.

The Peoria (111.) Review is responsible
for the following :
In these days of great complaints
against the citorlion. of railroads, it is
refreshing to hear of corporations that
fetudy the comfort of their passengers.
Such an one, according to J. W. Parker,
is the twenty miles of road from Jack
sonville to Waverly. A lady wanted to
get off the train to see a neighbor. They
stopped the cars fifteen minutes until
she went up and found her friend at
home. Then she made up her mind she
would stay there; whereupon the con
ductor and hrakeinuM seized her trunk
and carried it to the house, distance
about a quarter of a inile. For this
piece of politeness the lady returned
thanks and a peck of apples. The rail
road men accepted both, and returning,
divided the apples among the passengers.
One of the passengers hid a note that
was overdue, on a farmer living near the
track. The conductor stopped the train,
hunted up the man; they sat down,
reckoned the interest, paid the money,
and the happy recipient got on the train
again and proceeded on his way. By
this time the apples presented by the
lady had been consumed, and as the
train was passing a large orchard, the
conductor stopped the train for a third
time to allow the passengers time to fill
their pockets. In answer to remarks
that it was an eminently accommodating
road, he rep'ied, "This is the accommo
dation train, and we do about as the ma
jority want us to. If they fay stop,
why, we stop." This is an actual occur
rence. Can any other place show so ac
commodating set of railway officials?
In reply to the closing interrogatory,
we would remark that we have heard of
a similarly conducted road, but for fear
the officers might become puffed up
with too much praise, we shall not men
tion it. Ask Dr. Converse how it is.
Uood Advice te Young? Men'
The following excellent and well timed
advice has beeu sent to a young man in
this city by Col. P. B. iouke or New
Orleans :
You are youn?, very young for the
responsibilities that rest upon you. Be
firm and resolute in the discharge of all
your duties in life. Make circumstances
and take advantage ot theui as they arise
Do not be hasty. Be prudent, cautious
and patient. ou have thirty years of
active life and many years of leiiure. Be
kind, polite and generous to all. Kind
ness cultivates all the nobler attributes
of the human heart and begets an ex
quisite and attractive politeness which
cotts nothing, and is so interwoven with
generosity that you can scarce tell which
most to admire or to accredit, lia cool
and courteous. Make circumstances and
cultivate and pluck them with the same
delicacy that you would the delicate flow
er, with a firm determined hand, but
with mildness and without ostentation.
Every young man has within his reach
the necessary capital to commence busi
ness in me, namely: civility, strict integ
rity and ndchty to business, it wi:i
bring him capital, case, comfort and
tranquility when the evening frhadows
overtake him.

A consignment of 7,000 salted kanga
roo skins was received in San Francisco
several months since from Australia, and
purchased by parties who propose to
convert them into leather. The frkins
are now being tanned at a tannery locat
ed on the beach opposite Yerba, Buena
Island on the northern outskirts of Oak
land. The skin of the kangaroo is quite
thin but exceedingly tough, aud when
tanned into leather, is very pliable and
soft, wearing a long time without crack
ing, and turning water better than calf
skin. Tanned alligator skins from Mex
ioo and Central America are a common
article in the San Franci.sc o market, and
are used to a considerable extent in man
ufacturing boots where strength and ca
pacity to resist water are more desired
than a fancy fit or elegance of appearance-,
but kangaroo is emphatically a new
sensation in the leather line.
The mother of twenty-six children,
whesft husband in an invalid, called at
the Michigan State Land Office a few
days since, and from the proceeds of
cranberries she had picked during the
gast tall, paid the remainder cue the
tate upon her little farm in Shiawasse
county. As a rule invalid husbands
should not surround themselves with
more than twenty-five children except
in a cranberry country.
A Virginia woman was recently cut off
in the midst of her uselessness at the
age of 118 year . Tobacco did it, for
she had smoked and chewed for a hun
dred years. About the same time a
colored woman, living near Dumfries,
died at the age of 09, and it is said that
"her pipe was her constaut companion.'

It is an old anecdote, but a good one,
which declares that a son of Erin's Isle,
wandering along one of the roads of Con
necticut, and meeting there a most pious
and solemn resident otthat locality, asked
him: "An plaze yer honor, will ye be so
kind as to tell where this road I'm walkin'
in lades to?" was answered in deliberatet
tones, "It leads to h I;" and Erin re
plied, "Faix, an by the looks of the coun
thry and its inhabitants I do be thinking
I'm most there."
In Paris you must return the first call
of new acquaintance within three days or
be guilty of great rudeness. Royalty is
even more exacting, as a visit from one
sovereign to another must be returned
within a few hours.
"Parson L," inquired Uncle Olin, a
pleasant old man who was at work one
day las: summer cutting the grass in the
large yard of the Baptist church in a
Franklin county town, and spied his min
ister, who was of the Congregational or
der, "how do you suppose my old cow
will winter on this Baptist hay?" "Oh,
well," wa3 the quick reply, "I think she
may live through on it, but she'll proba
bly give rather thin milk."
The Hartford Conrnnt, which hardly
knows whether Columbus did a good
thing or not, when he discovered this
country, moralizes thus upon the sub
ject: Ihe Indians never thanked him,
for one party. The Africans had small
ground to be gratified for the market he
had opened for them. There are two
continents that have no use for them.
He led Spain into a dance' of great ex
pectations, which ended in her gorgeous
ruin. He introduced tobacco into Eu
rope, and laid the foundation for more
tracts and nervous diseases than the
Romans had in a thousand years. He
introduced the potato into Ireland, indi
rectly, and that caused such a ramd in
crease of population that the great fam
ine was the result, and an enormous em
igration to New lork hence Tweed
and Hall and the constituency of the
King. Uommrms is really responsible
for New York."
A Hartford lady screamed a little at
the supper table a lew evenings ago,
when a monse popped out of a dough
nut which she was conveying to her
mouth, and scampered over her shoul
ders and neck. The lady was about to
eat the mouse out of the house and
home which, it had just eaten itself
lino.
The Jexin la Jerusalem.
In Jerusalem, as in Rome and else
where, the Jews are shut up in a separ
ate quarter, and that the meanest, dark
est, filthiest. One twiiiglit I came un
expectedly into their settlement. It was
a mud lane, lined with hovels, through
which a funeral procession was slowly
moving, the body borne on mens should
ers in the dress of life, a perfect tatter
demalion crew wailing as they, followed.
Coming to the Land of Promise to die,
many of them are robbed on the way,
and all are preyed upon after they arrive;
so that I apprehend, nothing is more
real about them than their wretchedness.
They have no consuls to iuterfcre when a

they can have no hope of recovery. On

much, though the amusing story is toll
of Sir Moses Montefiore having spent all
his money in alms at Jerusalem, and be

lieved, that he might get back to Lon

The human mind is like the ponderous
engine. A small point of iron at a
switch will turn it to the right or left
sending it on its proper course or per
chance causing it to run into an embank
ment or into another train, crushing both
in shapeless destruction. The sight of
some object, or a word spoken or read,
will givo one's train of thought a new
direction, or some direction quite differ
ent from what it would otherwise have
taken. Upon very small tilings depend
all of one's future course in life. Parents,
teachers, guardians, in fact every one,
may well ponder this. We are all influ
encing each other, giving direction to
thought, every day, every hour, every
moment.
A family read a journal for a year,
aud at the end of that time do not re
call any particular advantage therefrom;
but how many new channels of thought
hive their minds been led into by what
they have read 1 How many plans have
insensibly and iudirectly come from
what they have read ! How much of
vacancy there would be if they blot en
tirely from their minds all the informa
tion they have gained, and all the new
ideas and plan3 of their own, suggested
only, and indirectly at that, by what they
have read during the year I The truth
is, one cannot read or think too much
about his daily labor. If he got not one
piece of useful information, the think
ing devel&ped by reading other man's
views and ideas can but be useful in
stimulating him to reasoning, to intel
ligent labor that labor in which his
head aids his hands. Labor without in
telligence is mere brute muscle in exer
cise. A 7ii erica n Ag ric it It u rist.

A gentleman was describing to Doug
las Jerrold tho story of his courtship and
marriage how his wife had been brought
up in a convent, and was on the point of-
taking the veil, when his presence burst
upon ner enraptured sight, and she
accepted him as her husband. Jorrold
listened to the end of the story, and he
quietly remarked, "the simply thought
you better than nun."
A Round Lake camp-meeting minister,
Father Jenni.son, says: "Woman and
the devil turned everything upside down
in the beginning. God had given to
woman a special gift for influence that
he had withheld from man. But Satan
had got hold of her in early life, and she
had kept up her wickedness ever since.
I tell you, my dear sister., the devil
hasn't left you alone yet. Satan refused
to smite Job's wife because he knew she
was enc of his lest allies."
The return of the nnmber of persons
killed by wild beasts during the past
year in tho luadras Presidency, India,
has lately been made up ; 1S3 persons
were killed by tigers, 21 by cheetahs and
panthers, 7 by bears, 10 by bisons, 5 by
wild hogs, 4 by elephants, and 3 by alli
gators. Tigers are most destructive in
Ganjam, izagapatam, Jeypore, Kur
ncof, and Coimbatoro. Seven persons
were killed by tigers in Canara in 1SG0,
eleven in 1868, and eleven were killed by
cheetahs.
Mr. Spillman had just married a sec
ond wife. On the day after the wed
ding Mr. Spillman remarked : "I intend
Mrs. Spillman. to enlarge my dairy."
"You mean our dairy, my dear," re
plied Mrs. Spillman. "No," quoth Mr.
Spillman ; "I intend to enlarge my
dairy." "Say our dairy, Mr. Spillman.''
"No, my dairy." "Say our daiay, say
our ," screamed she, seizing the po
ker. "My dairy! My dairy!" yelled
the husband. "Our dairy ! Our dairy!"
screeched tho wife, emphasizing each
word by a blow on the back of her
cringing spouse. Mr. Spillman retreat
ed under the bed. In passing under the
bedclothes his hat was brushed' off. He
remaiued under cover several minutes,
waiting for a lull in the storm. At last
his wife saw him thrust his head out at
the foot of. the bed, much like a turtle
from its shell. "What are you looking
for?" exclaimed the lady. "I am look
ing for our hat my dear."
A San Francisco paper of recent date
says that the murderess Laura D. Fair
is still confined in cell No. 32 near the
entrance to the upper corridor of the jail,
the same one in which she was placed
after the jury which tried her announced
her guilty of the crime charged against
her and is in the enjoyment of good
health. Her features have assumed a
deathly pallor which is always noticeable
on persons who have been kept immured
r iV- u:i f
in prison away iroiu me ungut rays ui
the beautiful sun and the fresh invigorat
ing air for month after month. After
her conviction here were a host of friends,
or pretended friends, who called to see
her, and as they termed, "to comfort her
in her great misfortune.' But little by
little the number of visitors grew less,
and now, besides her mother, daughter,
and attorneys, there are only three women
who call upon her. and only one of these
make her visits daily. She passes her
time of late in reading and writing.
She still refuses to taste prison food, and
her meals are brought to her twice a day
from a restaurant. Mrs. Fair is full of
hope that the court having her case un
der consideration will say by its decision
that she is entitled to a new trial.
njThe 17th of Nov. was the 566th an

ble day on which William Tell and his
little band of patriots swore that they
would deliver their country from the do
minion of tho tyrant Gcssler. In Swit
reiland the day is celebrated with impos

FOR INSURING IN THIS COMPANY
1st. This is a Western Company, managed by Western men, whose known finanancial charac
ter, ability and position, afi'ord ample guaranty lor its careful and succesfnl management.
2d. Its Polices are all non-frl.'itlnir. ,. . ,
3d. Premium all cali. It receives no notes and gives none. Policy holders have no interest

4th. It hns no restriction upon travel.
5th. Iu dividends are made upon the contribution plan.
6th. Its business is exciuscivly life insurance.
DIVIDENDS
Are the accumulation of interest upon premiums paid, hence tho Company that loans its assets
at the highest rate of interest can give you the largest dividends. Eastern companies invest their
moneys at 6 percent., while this makes its investments at twelve per cent, or more.
The advantage of Western investments to the policy holder appears in the following, itartlinf
