We lc-arii tiJ morning from Nebraska
City that the pro, rsuiou to call a speci
al election has be agreed to by the
Couaty Coiaui:stio5 -sof Otoe, and that
sa:J election will be tailed within thiity
days after the propos' liou i3 puL'Uhc-1.
The Chronicle says :
"All the conflicting elements and inte
rests in both city and county seem to be
fully harmonized in t! ; railroad proposi
tion now to be submitted, end wa believe
every opponent of iz in the county must
acknowledge thst it Li a.s fair, safe and
secure in it3 terms as language can male
it. Every fcafeyuird of the public iutc
rcsts are cuef .Ily thrown around our
dealings with the Railroad Companies
and there i.i no chance for the fiauds
that have Lecn s) often perpetrated on
cotnfii'r 'lies in similar cases.
L:i the friends of the proposition now
;j to woik and secure at least a to
iLirds majority vote in 'avor of it in the
county. Wefuily believe it can bo done,
and the more ucaiiiiacns it is the bt
tor."
It would seem from the above that
Otoe county is now in earnest on the
subject of railroads and wo can assure
the people living in that county that the
citizens living in the eastern portion of
Cas stand ready to assist this enterprise
to the full extent of their ability. Let
Richardson, Nemaha, Otoe and Cass
counties now take hold of this matter,
and in less than one year from to-day,
this road will be completed and a direct
connection formed with St- Louis.
We cannot afford to do without this
road, and we believe that wc have but to
act promptly in this matter to secure it
at an early day.
The reported g'dd discoveries in the
Black Hills ha3 been confirmed. The
Sioux City Journal of last Tuesday has
th3 following respecting these discover
ies from which it would appear that they
are no humbu? :
"!. J. VC Crawford returned to
this city on Sunday, after an absence of
two months on the upper Missouri. He
reports that the gold di.-coveiies in the
Black Iliils arc creating intense excite
ment in the upper country and hundreds
. are preparing to start for the new mines.
An Indian from Spotted Tail's camp
arue. into Whetstone Agenoy while Mr.
Crawford was there, with peveral excel
lent Epeciirens, among which wa3 some
very rich sold quartz.
Crawford obtained a specimen of the
latter, and now has it on exhibition a'
E. B. Crawford's store, in this city.
Those who have examined it, ainon
whom are old gold miners, pronounce it
very rich. The Indian said gold could
be found in the beds of streams, in the
side hills and in the canyons, in largo
quantities.
It is the general opinion of those who
hare examined the subject the mo?t,
that the importance of the discovery has
not been exaggerated in what ha3 reach
ed u, but on the contrary that rubso
quent investigation wiil develop gdl
fields rivaling in richness any yet discov
ered in tho country. Further intelli
gence will bo looked for with impatience,
and if the reputed discoveries do not
fail of conSrmatbn, there is sure to bo a
rush of gold seekers which will make
time lively on the upper Missouri."
These discoveries open; up a new op
portunity for the miners to gst rich, and
wo havo ho doubt but that a company or
Iwo will be formed in this city to pros
pect for the "dust."
Tho following item from the Burling
ton Uncle Eye wiil givo some idea of the
amount of lumber consumed in the
West, and if the rates of freight shou'd
be increased as therein stated, it will
make lumber an expensive article to the
people of this section.
"The lumber dealers of Kansas are in
trouble. The charges far freight of lum
ber by the railroad?, they say, ia too
high. And although high already, they
affirm that thirty railroad companies en
gaged in transporting lumber between
the producing regions and Kansas and
Missouri, have entered into a combinion
to increase tha rates twenty-five per cent.
They say that 50,000 car loads of lum
ber werejbrought into ths States of Mis
60iri, Kansas and Nebraska during
1871, wcrth at least $20,000,000.
Secretary Sewsrd nt Ilo.ne.
George Francis Train, in his talk at
Auburn, related tho following interesting
facts in relation to Scctary Seward :
"lib house is a museum of curio.si
osities. Mr. Seward must have five
thousand vo'umos in his collection of
forty years. There are one hundred files
of private letters during his eight years'
secretaryship. I wish he had kept his
twelve 3'cars of the correspondence as
Senator from 1S49 to 1801. I hope I
am not encroaching on private hospitali
ty, as he is a public man, by saying that
1 found him, with his amanuensi and
his daughter, bui'y making notes of his
wonderful voyage around the wo Id, a
book that will contain some four hun
dred plates, and six hundred pages of
talk with kings,, sultans, khcJbires, ty
coons, mikalos, and emperor of China.
A Ixek that a century ago would have
teen a Munchausen, Arabian Night's
tale. It must be remeberod that Mr.
Seward, at three score years and ten,
crossed all the mountains, rivers and
oceans in the world The book will no
doubt have an immense ssle, and Apple
ton will spare no expense in making it
the grand success of the new bock
world."
Tho Nationalist, of Manhattan, Kan
Fa?, says .
"A few days an caslc descended upon
tha head of a little Swede boy, about ten
rears old, who lives near the head of the
Wildcat, and undertook to carry him oiT.
He fastened his talons in tha boy s cap,
but the youngster, instead of rising in
raid air. caucht the cade, and alror a

The Chicago Journal rises to explain,
and docs it i;i a very few words, thus :

opinion of the Court, in which without
deciding the question of the lep-ality of

tho revoking proclamation of n-tinr

Rev. Davii Livingstone was born at
Blantyre. near (ilatgow, about the year
1S17. His parents were highly rospect
abls. but somewhat poor i:i this world's
goods nhich necessitated the sending of
their -r.ii at a very early age to earn his
living in the cotton mills of his native
town. Inspired with a genuine love of
learning, and possessing the proverbial
Scottish thrii'tines-s, the boy managed to
gain money rijough over and above his
daiiy wants to buy-book., and these he
studied diligently every vacant moment.
In the wintc-r lie attended school at Glas
gow, resuming work during the summer
months, and in this way he obtained a
tolerable ilnglivh education and some
knowledge of the classics. Having
strong rel'gimis sympathies, his main
object of sutl ition was to become a mis
sionary, and accordingly when he reached
tha proper ago ho spent several y?ars in
tha study of medicine and theology, and
in 1?38 was admitted licentiate tf the
faculty of physicians and surgeons. He
then offered hims?.lf to the London Mis
siona-y pneisty for occlesiastifal duty in
Afriyi, and having been ordained a min
ister of tho cospel in 1S40 ho left Eng

A good story is told of old Dr. Cald
well formlcy of the University of North
Carolina:
The docter was a small man, and lean,
but as hard and angular as tho most ir
regular of pine knots.
He looked as though he might .be
tough but ho did- not seem strong.
Nevertheless, he was among the knowing
ones, reputed to be agile "as a oat," and,
in addition; was by no mear-3 deficient in
tho knowledge of the 'm inly art."
Well in th-o fresh man class of a certain
year was a burly beef mountaineer of
18 or PJ. This gf-nius conceived a great,
contempt for old Bolus' physical dim
ensions, and his soul was honfied tint
one so deficient hi mu--c!e shou'd be so
potential in his rule.
Poor Jones that is what we'll call
him had no idea of moral f ree. At any
rate he was not inclined to knock under,
be eontroili.id despotically, by a man he,
imagined ho could tie or whip. At
length ho. determined to pivo tho old
gentleman a genteel, private thrashing,
some night, in the Codege Campus, pre-
tcnoing to mistake him tor soma
feiiow
student.
Shortly after, on a el irk ard rainy
night Jones met the docter crossing the
Campus. Walking up to him aruptly:
"Hello, Smith! you ra-ca! is this
you!" And with thai ha struck the old
gentleman a blew on the face that nearly
felled him.
01 1 Bolu? said nothing but squared
himself, and at it they went, Jones' youth,
weight, and muscle made him an "uly
customer," but after si round or two the
doctor's science beg in to tell, and in a
short time he had konfked his antagonist
down, and was straddle of his che.-t,
with one hand on his throat; and the
other dealing vigorousculFs on the side
cf trie head.
"Aii! stop! I beg your pardon, 'Doctor
Doctor Chidweil a mistake for heav
en's sake, Docter!" lie groaned. "I
really thought it was Smith!''
The docter replied with a word and a
blow alternately.
"It makes no diffe rence; frr all present
purposes wn.-rJcri::!

The Life of Dr. B;:fi!es, of Liverpool,
has thn. fallowing : "A young lady, the
daughter of the owner of the house, was
addressed by a man who, though ngreea
bio to her, was disliked by her father.
Of course, ha would not consent te (heir
union, and she determined to elope. The
night was fixed, tha hour came, he
placed a ladder to tho window, and in a
ibw minutes sho was in his arms. They
mounted a double hor-e, and were soon
at some distauee from the house. After
a while the body broke silence by saying,
'Well, you see what a proof I hive giv
en you of my affection; J hope you will
make me a rood husband.' lie was a
sur.y ti-iiow, ai;i giuiny answered, 1 ir
haps I mar, and perhaps not.' She
I made no reply, but alter a srenee ot
some minutes sho suddenly exclaimed,
'Oh, what sh di we do? I have left my
moiiey behind mo iu my room.' 'Then,'
srid he, "we must go back and fetch it.'
They were soon again at the h use. the
ladder was ani:i placed, the lad3" re
mounted, while the ill-natured lover
waited below. But she delayed to come,
and so he gonlly called, 'Are you com
ing?' when she looked out of t!u window
and said. 'Perh-ps I may, and perhaps
not:, and then shut down tho window,
and left him to return upon the double
horse nione. "
