The following scrap of information, taken from the Chicago Times, will no loubt Le of interest to the citizens of Nebraska : 'IIon. Pat.

Pat. now guarantees Nebraska for Gen. Grant, without a con test " ' After reading the ahove we doubt not th?

The New York Tribune of the 20th, .peaking of tho Woman Suffrage lobby ists at the capital, clones with the fol lowing paragraph, which will be keenly relished by those of our readers who know Senator Tipton : "The truth U. the female lobby has worked hard all winter an J done noth ing. Even Mrs. Major Dr ! W alker has boon little better than a failure; anl when, on Friday, iuiinedi itely alter the adjournment, t-he ru-hed upon the floor of the Senate, pantaloon and all, to congratulate Mr. Tipton on his arraign ment of the Conkling and Morton tyr ntiny, tha unfortunate Senator seemed to be unhappily in her sympathy, and broke away with more haste than dig nity." IBl.VK KAILUUA D. We give our readers to-day an extract fioui the proportion s-ubmitted by tho Commis-ioners of Otoe county, in order to call attention to what iNiebra-ka City aims at by the proportion for bonds to the Truuk Road. The only thing that has stood in the way of the building of this road, has been the refusal of Otoe county to render any assistance in its construction, and now they only pr-po?e to give aid from Nebraska City South The proposition is for bonds in the sum of five thousand dollars per mile on completiou of the road etc., to their roads. "From Nebraska City, in Otoe coun ty, State of Nebraska, in a southwest iin or northwestern or in both such di rections or either of them ; and to the St. Loni & Nebraska Trunk llailroad commencing at Nebta-ka City an4 ruti tiitig along the west side of the Missouri river, but not weft of a due north anl south line parallel with Fifth (:h) street pi s;iid Nebraska City, to connect with the Atthinson and Nebraska 11. li. at llulo, Neb., or where said rajlroii crosses the State line between Kansas and Nebraska, so as to give Nebraska City a direct connection cn the West sidf of ;he Missouri river, with St Louis in Missouri " This county has once voted aid to this roid, and the citizens along the river stand ready to aid the enterprise in good faith. So of Nemaha county below. Perhaps a railroad company can be found who will take hold and buiid this road even though it extends no farther north than the center of Otoe county, but if .would be much more likely to succeed with the proposition, to extend it to Omaha. On the subject of building this road, the Brownvilie Advertiser says : "After repeated meetings, and a deal of coaxing, the Commissioners of Otoe county have decided to submit the ques tion of 1'ailroad aid to a vote of the people of that county. As we under stand it, the discriminating feature again A the Trunk lload, however, is retained and will be included in the proposition to be voted upon. We are not advised as to h w the parties view this matter who pro;ose to buiid the road. We will indulge the hope, how ever, that such an understanding may be reached as will result in ti e com mencement of work on the Trunk road with early spring, and its vigorous prose cution to completion." The Nebiaka City Chronicle, on tha subject of Manufactories, says: "When ten thousand operatives in manufactories, of Nebraska City must be fed, the farmer of the county will re ceive Chicago price" lor produce with out deducting freight, and can buy his goods less the freight which he now pays. It to the interest " of everybody to build up town and country." ITbnt Advertlsiir.g Did.. Millaud, the banker and newspaper speculator, who died recently in Paris, and who founded the Pjris Petite Jour nal, which at one time had a daily circu lation of nearly ha'f a million copies, was an enthusiastic believer in the advantages of liberal advertiseing. On day he had at hi table nearly a'l the proprietors of the leading Paris dailies. T!iy conversed about advertising. Millaud asserted that the most worthless articles could be sold in vast quantities if liberally aJvertiscd. Emil de Gnrardin, of L'l Prcsse, who was present, took isue with him on the Mibj.'ct "What will you bet," exclaimed Miiliud. "that I cannot t-eil in one we k one hundred thousand trances, worth of the most common cabbage seed under the pretext thatit will produce main moth cabbafeheads? All I have to do is to advertise it at once in a whol page in e:ion of the daily nnpcrsoftl is .-ity.' Girxrdin replied that he would give him a paee in his paper for nothing if he should win his wager The other news paper publishers aerecd to do the Fame" thing. At the. exniration of the week they inquired of "Millaud how the Cal l age-seed fl.mrished. lie showed them his books triumphantly, and satis fied them th t he had sold nearly twice as much as he promised, while orders were Mill pouring in; but he said the joke must stop there; and no further orders, would be filled. According ta Meyer's late experiments neither man nor dog can be fed econom iea ly upon bread alone. To say nothing of health, a much less amount of food will support life and tdrength when a email percentage cfit is eomposed of meat. Pesistenee in the bread diet Meyer found to make the tissues watery, and to weaken the entire constitution. THURSDAY, MARCH 7. IS72 an lapoar.tAT bclixu. The Snprrme Court Decides thiit there can b no AppenN front the District Court tu t"ol Stale. From the Omaha Herald. The Supreme Court on Tuesday last announced an important decision effect ing the right to appeal from the verdict or decision of the District Courts of this State. The question come up on several motions to dismiss appeals, all made on the ground that in this State the law does not provide for an appeal, nor for any other way of taking a case tip for review, except by petition in error. A good many cases in which appeals were pending were dismissed. It is now settltd that questions cf fact will not be examined in the Supreme Court. Esti brook's code was adopted in great haste, and the Court has been oblige I 'to hold its chapter on appeals entirely inoperative, because, while it provides the manner of appeals, it doe3 not define the causes which may be ap letled. Th only case from this city which was brought up in these motions to dismiss appeals was that of Lowe vs. Sieblitz. It was an appeal from a decree entered by Judge Luke at the last term of the District Court, in which Mrs. Lowe was rcstr ined from continuing the lease for the coroner, on which the Trivoli stands, for a second term of Sve years after the first five years had expired. Tho appeal was disjnissed, leaving the decree as en tered in force. It is of great importance to the mem bers of the Bar through! the State that they should know that if they desire to get their cases into the Supreme Court they must lay the foundation by a peti tion in error. The folio wing from the Missouri Demo crat, as to the manner in which elections to the United States Senate are obtained, is worthy of the consideration of the pen le. Tho long tsrm for which Senators are chosen makes it necessary that some method of reform be adopted to check the growing evil of using uiouey to buy positions : "The United States Senate can hardly continue to ignore allegations of bribery in the Kansas Senatorial elections, now that the matter ha been so public, and that the special attention of that body has been called to it. It is a very dis graceful thin to bo compelled to recog xht ; Hti I it i especially dishearten ng. while honest eifori is being made to re form the civil service of Use country, to be obliged to turn aside and examine corruptions in the highost legislative body in the land. But the duty of all the friends of honest government is very clear. It is to institute and prosecute the fullest investigation and puuUh the guilty parties, when discovered There must be no whitewashing and no screen ing. If Senators have been elected by corrupt influences, they must be com pelled to resign, whether the election occurred last wiutcr, as was the case with Mr. Caldwell, or tl.rce winters ago a was the case wiih Mr. Pomero'. It will be interesting to know, too, whether the great railroad corporations which owe their existence to the jrenerosity of tin people, expressed in Congressional subsidies and land grant?, have been using tbeir power, influence and wealth to get their agents and attorneys elected to seats in the Senate. If so, there must be a remedy within the power of Congress to apply to them also ; and ive hone Congress will not be slow to apply it." YTunt the Entire fflotuer of Alexis Siiys. The Erpr3s., n.Qther of the Grand Duke Alexis, . is very grateful for the kind and conrtceus reception lie has re ceived at the hai'ds of the American people, and her feelings are thus por trayed by a correspondent of the New York Herald : TUE CZAU THANKS TOE 'AMERICAN NA TION. "There was a good deal of curiosity manifested among the members of the diplomatic body as to what iho Emperor would say to Mr. Curtin upon the ocea (ion of the New Year, and whether he would thank the Ametican Government or the American people for the reception of the Grand Duke. In h;s speech to Mr. Curtin, which you will have already received, he evaded the difficulty, how ever, by using the word "nation,' which may, of course, include the Government and people,- but he did not mention the President nor say by what intermediary the thanks were to be conveyed to the people. The. Empress on her part showed herself very grateful indeed. She said : 'I do not know, 3Ir. Curtin, how to expres-j my thanks and uiy de light and gratification for the cordial and enthniastic reception that has been ten dered Alexis by the great hearted Ameri can people. Believe me. I shall never forget it, and I wish you to tell them how mui h I have been touched by these marks of friendship and kindness shown my dear ton.' " An Iowa preacher is on trial upon a charge of frighteninir a boy to death. We-regret tin lack of details; It is not stated how the deed was done. It is likely that the man of God found the boy in weak bodily condition, and pro duced hi regular pyioreehmc hell for the purpose of scaring him into heaven, as tigers are driven away by fire. The reverend gentleman probably ignited too many fireworks at a time, ani accom plished his purpose sooner than he had intended. Had he been more temperate in the expenditure of his caloric, that boy might have lived to pay a great deal of money in the church. Of Fisk an J his wife, who was older than he, a T'oston letter-writer says: "With his notorious tics against her, there had never been estrangement be tween them. She excused everything, and he held for her a sort of piatonic af fection. He wrote to her constantly, and vitited her often. She was his confMeut always, and his adviser in many things She was more like an elder sister than a wife to this mercurial being, who appears to have had the highest respect for her traits of eharacter, !ind to have been com passionately regarded by herself as an met) rigibly wayward member of the family, who must bo humored in almost any eceentrieiuefc" Anccdotea of 1'nblle SXen.

Never shall I for get the eulogy of George Bancroft, pro nounced twenty-six years ago, while he was Secretary of the Nav?, under Presi dent Polk, after the intelligence of the death of Jack -on had been received in Washington. The affluence of genius never produced a more exquisite off spring. The rapidity wth which it was prepared, the fervor with which it was pronounced, and its eff'Ctupftn the pub lic mind, excited the wonder and deiiht of followers of old Hickory; and if you turn to it now 3-ou will find it fu:passed bv nothing in the interesting volume which preserves the "Jackson Oose quies." At the end of nearly a gene ration, we find the ardent express ions of a partisan Cabinet Minister equalled by the more deliberate praise of former nolitical adversaries. Why is this? Simply because Andrew Jackson's inspiration through hiri whole life was a passionate love of the Union, a fixed and even ferocious determination to put down its enemies at whatever hazard or cost. Henry Clay and Daniel Webster live in the affection of posterity more be cause they were auimaie i by the. same principle, .that because of the fame of one as an orator and the other as a states man and jurist. They f jrgot party when their country was in peril, burying or postponing animosities as agait nt even their severest foe, Andrew. Jack-oi!, when he s ruck the key-note and de clared that the "Union must and fahali be preserved." Something like this was the scono be tween George Wolf and TJtad Icus Ste vens, some thirty-six years ago. when in the midt of a memorable anti Masonic excitement which Stevens headed against Wolf.

No name can perish from memory or hi-to-ry that is fuly identified with civiliza tion and liberty. I was talking of these things the other day with an old Ohio Whig, at present n Republican, when he related an anec dote of oil Hiekory whi.di I hiid never heard before, and which I think worth pnservinsr After Jackson's first elec tion in 1S23, a strong effort was in;de to remove General an old Revolu tionary soldier, at that time postmaster in one of the principal New York towns. He had leen so fierce an Adams man that the Jackson men determined to dis L place him. H was no Mrar.jier to Jack son, who knew nun well, ami was con scious of his private worth and public services'; but as the effort to gtt his place . was a det rmined one, General resolved to undertake a journey to Washington for the purpose of looking after bis case. Si Wright had jut left his seat as a -Representative in Con gross from New -York. Never was the En. pire State more ably represented Cool, honest, profound and subtle, Mr Wright was preei'dy the man to head a movement against the old postmister. His influence with Jackson was bound less. His force in debate made him a match for the giants themselves ; and as Mr. Van Bu. en was then Jackson's Sec retary of State, the combination was powerful. The old postmaster, knowing that these to political masters were against him, called upon the President immediately upon his arrival, and was mot courteously received and requested to call again, which he did several times, but nothing was said about the post-of-fiee. Initially the. . politicians ti;ii.-hed their protest and pent it forward to Mr Wright and requested that it shna'd be delivered at the first opportunity. The old postmaster heard from his friends at home that the important document was tin its way, so be resolved on a coup tie main. The next day there was a Presi dential reception, and among the early visitors was General . After a cor dial greeting by Jackson, he quietly took his seat and waited until the lor:g train of visitor had duly saluted the nation's Chief and passed through the Grnud East Room on their way home. The President turned to bis venerable guest with soma surpris? as he noticed him still seated on one of the sofas, and en tered into familiar conversation with hitn, when to his amazement, the old solder j-aid : -'"General Jackson, I have come here to talk about my office. T!i poli ticians want to take it from me, and they know I have nothing else to live upon." The President made no reply, till the aged postmaster, began to take off his coat in the most excited manner, when Old Hickory broke out with the inquiry: "What in Heaven's name are you going to do? Why do you take off your coat in this public place ?"' "Well, sir, I ant going to thow you my wounds, which I received iu fighting for my country against the Englnh!" "Put it on at once, sir!" was the reply; "I am sur-. prised that a man of your arc Fhould make fuch an exhibition of himself," and the eyes of the iron President were su'fu-ed with tears, ns without another word he bade his ancient foe good even ing. The very next night the crafty and able New York politician ca'led at the White House and sent in his card. He was immediately ushered into the pres ence and found Jackson in loose gown and -slippers seated before a blazing wood fire quietly str iking his long pipe. After the, ordinary courtesies had been exchanged, the politician opened his budget. He re presented the district front which the venerable postmaster hailed ; paid the latter had been known as vry active advoca e of John Quincy Adams ; that he had literally forfeited his place by his earnest opposition to the Jackon men, and that if he wero not. removed the new Administration would be seri ously injured. lie had hardly finished the last sentence, wlien Jacn-on pprunir to his feet, flung his pip In the fire, and exclaimed, with great vehemence, "I take the consequences. By the Eternal! I will not remove the old man I cannot remove" him. Why,' Mr. Wright, do you know that he carries more than a pound of British luad in his body?" He who was stronger than conrt. courtiers, or Cabinets, pronounced his fiat, and the happy old postmaster next day took the Uga and retaraod homo rejoicing. NO- 41) Married "Full l p." In Virginia, where tho law fixes the marriage fee at one dollar, there is a reminiscence of a couple who many years ago called on a parson and request ed him to marry them. "Where is my fee?" said the old functionary. " The parties who wero to unite their fortunes began to look fur the money, ar.d found the joint amount to be twen-ty-s-cveu t ents. "I can't -marry you for that um," said the irate old gentleman. "A little bit of service will go a long way," suggested the eagur, male ap plicant. "Ah, no," said the parson, "you don't pay for the bize of the pill, but for the gml you hope it will do you." The lass, intent on ruaniago, began ta v.cep, but the parson was inexorable, and the couple turned sadly to depart. Just then a happy thought seemed to strike the forlorn maiden, and she turned and cried through her tears : "Please, rir, if you can't marry us full up, wo.j'tyou m trry us twenty-seven conts worth ? Wo can come for the rest some other time." This was too tauc'n for the parson. He married them "full up," and they went on their way rejoicing. Murk Twain uu Woman KiifTeraee.
