PLATTSMOUTH NEBRASKA,
THE
KATIOX4L AOniCVLTCKAI.
In " December last, Judge Frederick
Watls, Comaussioncr of Agriculture is
sued a Circular address to tha Stat Ag
ricultural College?, State Agricultural
Societies, State Boards of Agriculture,
and State Pomological Societies, request
ing them to select two delegates each, to
represent tham in a National Conrentioa
toba held at 'Washington City, D. C,
on tha 15th day f February, 1872, for
the purpose of conferring upon subjects
of mutual interest, and to stimulate and
develop the Agricultural interests of the
people of the United States.
. In accordance with said call, the State
Board of Agriculture of Nebraska, at
their semi-annual cession at Lincoln, in
January laBt, elected CoL R. W. Furnas
its President, and Maj. D. H. Wheeler,
its Secretary, as Delegates. . . -
The State Horticultural Society select-
J. LT. Masters, its President, and Hon.
J. Sterling Morton, as its delegates.
Upon consultation of the delegates
selected, it was agreed that the expense
of the delerates, if all attended, would
draw hearily upon the funds of the soci
eties, that Maj. Wheeler should attend
and represent both societies. This we
think was wise on the part of the dele
gates, as we think our State should this
year be represented at the fairs of sever
al of the Eastern States, with our cereals
and fruits; " for by their fruits shall ye
know them," as the result of the exhi
bition at Richmond last fall fully demon
strated the fact that Nebraska was second
to no state, in the quality of its fruits.
The Convention convened in accord
ance with the call ot Commissioner
Watts, at 10 30 a. m., Feb. 15th, and
effected a temporary orgainization, by
electing Professor Bowman, of Kentueky
as temporary chairman, and Professor
Calder of Pcnna., as Secretary. A call
of the Stated and Territories was then
had, and it was found that all tha States
but Louisiana, Oregon and California,
were represented, as , well as several of
the territories.
A committee was then appointed, of
ne from each state, to report the names
of officers for permanent organization.
A permanent organization was effected
by the election of Dr. George B. Loring,
of Salem Mass , as President. One Vice
President from each state, (Maj. Wheeler
biing.V. P. for Nebraska) and Charles
Merdfeldt, of Mo., and R. F.Johnson,
Michigan, as Secretaries. '
A committee of one from . each State
and Territory wa, upon tnotien, appoin
ted to report to the Convention, the bus
iness to be brought before it, and an or
der of business.. ' r- ' ' -
Dr. Loring, upon taking the ehair, as
President of the Convention, said :
-ThefB-i no man in this Convention
who would decline for one moment to be
called a practical firmer, for m the term
is embraced the honor. tSanhood, and
industry of our country. That great in
dustry which planted in the early days
upon the shores of the Atlantic a founda
tion for the financial interests of this
ceuntry, is something of which not only
its advocates may be proud, but to which
the whole country owe a debt of grati
tudo. Applause. I hat simple and
unassuming thrift that in its primitive
form first made its appearance upon the
Atlantic coast, has spread itself abroad
upon the distant prairie, and made the'
wilde of the West a harvest most plen
teous. ' Applause. You represent au
olhcr branch of the community the
agricultural schools, colleges, etc., and
into good hands has this representation
been confided. I see before me those
honest, industrious men who, having
been crowned with fortune's success,' are
determined to bestow upon the young
men of the land, aye, and upon the
young wemen, too, the benefits that will
most assuredly follow our aim 3. Ap
plause. I believe that this of all coun
tries upon the face of the earth, meant
that educational principles should be
most fully inculcated. I believe in edu
cation as the .loundaticn, iherelore, ot
all American institutions, t Applause.
There is no way that you eau keep ' the
standard of compensation up to its prop
er appreciation other than by educating
the industrial classes to a full and thor
ough comprehension of its worth." i
..,..-
The business committee, by its chair
man, Judge YV atta, uomrmssio.ier, made
a partial report, and among other things,
submitted the following : "
."Resolved, That it will greatly conduce
te the successful operations of agricul
ture throughout the world that its ope
rators should hare the light of scientific
knowledge to guide the work. '
Resolved, That we recognize in the
Act of Congress of July 2d, 1862, the
foundation upon which may be organized
and built colleges and schools where the
scientific principles and knowledge of
Agriculture may be taught, and that it
is our anxious desire and duty to foster
and encouaage them in the work of
educating armer. . -
' ' . - j
" " Resolved; That Horticultural 'and
Agricultural sooieties and Agricultural
Colleges and Schools are co-laborers in
the same field,- and ten! to promote the
same 'object the proper cultivation ef
the soil j and that all these should unite
on any plan of education by which the
light of knowledge EhoulJ be made to
shine upon their work !
"Resolved, That the Department of
Agriculture, is also a creature of; the
Government, , established for the same
great purpose, of cherishing and pro
moting the .interests of ogricultnre, and
that jta. efficiency, must necessarily de
pend upou its intimate connection with
THURSDAY, MARCH 14. 1872
all agricultural institutions, which exist,
in this and foreicu countries; and we
therefore recommend to the said depart
ment that it establish such a relation
with the agricultural colleges and schools
and horticultural and agricultural socie
ties as that there may bo a continuous
exchange of information, seeds, roots,
plants, and publications, as shall be mu
tually advantageous, and conduce to the
leading agricultural and horticultural in
tcrests of the eountry."
We notice that while the all-import
ant subject of agriculture was under con
sideration, that the President, Dr. Lo
ring did not object to tasting some of
the fruits of agriculture, as for exam
President Loring "I hold in my hand
an invitation for the members of the
Convention to attend a Sociable oa next
Monday evenicg." ,
A yoicer"flas it anything to do with
agriculture?""
President It has with the fruits of
agriculture. " Laughter.
Among the prominent men of the
country whom we see were present and
took part in the proceedings of the Con
vention, we see named Senators Freling
huysen, of New Jersey, Sprague, of
Rhode Island, Morrill of Vermont, Hon.
Horace Maynard of Tennesse, Ezra Cor
nell of New York, Marshall P. Wilder
of Mass., Gov. Smith of New Hamp
shire, Gen. Wade Hampton of South
Carolina,', Col. Reed of Georgia, Gen.
Habited of New 'Jersey, ' Hon. TSeo.' F.
Wilson of Rhode Island, and President
U. S. Grant. This would indicate that
the Agricultural interests of the.nation
is being lookod after by our leading men,
and will not be allowed to suffer.
The Convention was in session three
days, and many subjects of vital import
ance to the farmer were discussed, and
while there was, to some extent, a clash
of interests and feeling among the many
delegates, we can but cmect that a
great amount of good will inovitably re
sultjfrom this meeting, and interchang
ine "of ideas of persons from almost
every state id this great union. - we
were glad to see that all important sub
ject of replacing in some way the loss of
the immense forests of the old and for
merly heavy timbered States was under
consideration, and shows hat those re

wltTi a nmtpd effort unon the nart ef
tha-farmers of Nebraska, that our own
Slate may yet become the timber region
S Amerk a. : Maj. Wheeler, of .tho
committee upon business, submitted the
following on this subject: "That the
committee recommend that a ooommittee
of five be appointed to report the best
methods ofjreserving the timber of the
country ,"espcciairyhgTlmSeTff-U
Rocky Mountains and the central prairie,
regions of the republio" which was
adopted, and a committee appointed in
accordance with the recommendation.
Mr. Lines, of Kansas, offered the fol
lowing resolution whioh was adopted :
Resolved, That we earnestly advise
and entreat the farmers of our whole
country, who are favorably located for
the purpose, to plant forest trees, not
merely for shade, and ornament, but
by the acre and hundreds of acres in or
der to reproduce forests, to take the
place of those that ' are being so rapidly
and fearfully demolished in every direc
tion,1 thereby not only providing for the
actual necessltias of those who are to
come after u, buf also to avert calami
ties that can neither be imagined or de
scribed, that : must eventually ensue
wherever our broad land shall be strip
ped of its forests, and consequently de
prived of the numerous beneficent influ
ences they are known to impart."
We are glad to note that the conven
tion adopted a .resolution asking that
Congress should largely increase the ap
propriation made, for the department of
agriculture, and that a committee of five
members ; of the convention were ' apj
pointed of which Maj. Wbeeler waa
one) to lay. the matter before the Con
gressional committee upon appropria
tion! The convention was quite unani.
mous in appointing a committee, to ask
that Congress should make additional
appropriations for the benefit of the
Agricultural Colleges already organized
and to be organized in the several States.
Upon this question the Commissioner of
Agriculture appeared to be very nerv
ous, and said :
. ... ' .
"You will readily see that when I
called this convention the question of
the publio lands did not enter into my
mind. 'Whilst I 6y that I don't object
to aay application that the convention
may make to Coagress, I simply want to
rid the department of any responsibility
in the matter whatever. Let the re
sponsibility rest with the Convention
alone. .We want it distinctly understood
that we wash our hands clear of this
matter, and we would like the reporters
to say ee. ' There should never be any
distribution "of the publio lands unhss
one-tenth , thereof shall be kept ia tim
ber inviolably. , It is a matter that en
ters into the climatio effect of the coun
try. . It is more important for sheltering
the crops, than winters or anything ebo,
that one-tenth of all these lands should
be reserved for timber, Whatever in
fluence you gentleman may : have upon
Congress, - I look upon this, as of far
more importance than anything you have
acted upon." ' L ! . '. ,'
The follewing ameng other resolutions
was offered by Mr. Beckwith, of Michi
gan : ... " " ' "
Resolved, "That the Dopartment be
requested to procure tobacco seed from
the valley of the Connecticut,' for dis
tribution in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas and Nebraska, and such other
States as have the cultivation of that
crap." ; . '.: ' . .r "
Resolved, "That it be requested to
distribute in New England, and such
other pieces as it may seem desirable,
samples of the Treadwell and Doihl win
ter wheats, grown in Miohigan, and of
the best spring wheats grown in Ne
braska. It will be seen from the above that the
Baperior quality of our Spring wheat is
becoming known in those States where
Agriculture is the leading busines. This
ought to stimulate ourfarmers, and in
duce them to raise nothing but the best
qualities of wheat, as well as of other
grains.
The diffusion of Agricultural informa
tion through the aid of the Department
of Agriculture by means of tabular, and
other statements, obtained from different
localities in the several States and nations
was under discussion and was favorably
entertained by the Convention. Ex-Gov.
Patten ef Alabama offered the follow
ing resolution :
"Resolved, That this Convention do
hereby respectfully petition the United
States Government through the State
Government and the Executive, in favor
of establishment by ,' international co
operation, of a general and systematie
clan of meteorological observations and
erop reports, and to request the govern
ment, in furtherance of this object to
invite the other nations to meet, in the
persons of their leading meterologists, at
an early date iu conferance, like that of
Brnsselsia 1852. . '
Gov. Patten said in support of his re
solution. -
"I submit these at coming from ajman
of science who wrote an able article up
on the subject, which I suppose has been
read by many here. . I am proud to
stand on this flour with my Maine friends
and my friecdi from the Northwest.-
We in the' South toil in common with
you for the advancement of the - agricul
tural interests of the country. I want
to protect the farmer from the men who
who live by ohanoe from speculators. I
want the people whom I represent to be
kept posted upon the workings of the
market so that they may be . relieved
from the sharp practices of speculators,
who feed from off the toil of the farmer.'
. ' ;
Much other matter of great interest
to the farmer and industrial portion of
our community might be extracted from
the proceedings of the Convention but
we iH-conclude our article by quoting
a portion of the remarks of the Presi
dent, Dr. Loring.
.
"I do aot think this convention trav-
eHelFbut of its "record ia taking into
consideration and debating upon so im
portant a question as the advancement
of the youth of our country. And as
the presiding officer of this Convention,
I do not accept the compliment that has
been paid them by . the Commissioner,
when he said that ho washed his hands
clean of what he considered to be the
folley of this Convention, (applause), I
do not think tb?,t such critisism . was at
all necessarry, but nevertheless I pass it
over with this simple comment, knowing
as I do that it will be lost sight of in the
great good for which I believe we have
laid a foundation for accomplishment."

U. S. Commissioner of Aerlenltura.
We learn from ' private and reliable
authority, that tho late National Ae-
rioultural Convention, hsld at Washing
ton Ldty. Jbeb. I5tb, expressed in pri
vate circles a decided dissatisfaction with
the present incumbent, Judge Watts,
from Pennsylvania; more particularly on
account of his location. It was held that
the wafit being the great agricultural pro
ducing portion of the country, is there-
lore entitled to tha' orace. While we
know nothing of Judge Watts, either as
to his qualifications, or. peculiar fitness
for the position, we agree in that there
is force in the objections. We under
stand further, that in all probability, an
effort will be made to fill the plaoe with
anew man one from the west. The
predecessor ef the present incumbent,
Gen. Capron, who was honored with,
and accepted a call to fill the position of
Agricultural Director in Japan, was from
Illinois, and his efforts and labors seem
ed to meet with universal approval. We
hope if a change is made, that tha posi
tion will be accorded to the west- The
rapid progress and development our own
young State has made, and is still mak
ing in Agricnltural matter, really gives
us as much claim to the' office as any
other State. In this connection wc take
the liberty of suggesting a name, one
which would do honor to our young com
monwealth, and strike with pleasing and
musical'euphony upon the cars and other
senses of the people of the country at
large who take an active iuterest iu Ag
ricultural and Uortieultural matters
we mean Col- Robert W. Furnas, of this
eity, whose name is familiar to every
one, not alone in this State, but to every
live Agriculturist or Horticulturist in the
Union, from his identification with their
interests as a worker, producer, writer,
etc. His services at Richmond, Vs.,
last season, will not soon be forgotten by
our peopje. and while they established
the Col. in the affections and gratitude
of .Nebraskians, they surrounded his
name with a halo of honor and high merit
recognized by every one identified with
the interests indicated. ' . -7
We call upon our Senators and Repre
sentative at Washington to investigate
this matter, and if our understanding be
found correct, and a vacancy is likely to
occur, urge upon them to present the
name of CoL Furnas as Watts' success

BT PROP. J. D. BCTLSIt.
Three sons ef, the Japanese ambassa
sador, Iwakara. have been for more than
a vtar at school near New York. Three
weeks a?o thev came to Chicago in or
dei to welcome their father. After
heart-breaking delays watching and
waiting they learned by telegram on
Suoday morning that the embassy had
reached Omaha. They could wait no
longer, but left immediately in order to
meet their father halt way.
By request I took the train with them
westward from Uurnncton. It was
doubtful where we should fall iu with
the embassy. We were disappointed tf
finding them at Uttumwa and hope so
long deferred evidently made sick tho
expectant hearts of the youths.- But
their father hai no disappointments or
indeed expectations lor he tupposed
the bods were quietly asleep iu Chicago.
At midnight our trains baited side by
side, aid the boys surprised their father
fast ia the arms ef Morpheus. No one
who witnessed the family reunion could
doubt whether Japanese are tenderly
alive to the pieties of household affec
tion, r ,
- TnK IMPERIAL TRAIN.
. The train 'consisted of six Pullmans
and a full car of baceage and one bun
dred and fifry people were to be not only
lodged but fed yes, feasted. The chief
ambassador, in accordance with Japanese
etiquette,' must eat like the Pone, in a
room alone, but no mouth lacked any
delicacy of the Reason for breakfast, and
each found a scat .vaoant and ready for
him at the table as early as ho was pre
pared to Ocoupy it. Every party of
Japanese,-savo one, that has crossed the
continent; has taken the Burlington
route and not a" few of the Orientals
said they wished it extended to Japan
and around the world. .
. MUTUAL INTRODUCTIONS.
Being presented to his Excellency, I
was thanked by him for my attentions to
his sons. lie was also glad to reocive
from me a series of ten views wbich the
Burlington and Missouri River Railroad
Company: have Lai engraved to show
the natural features ef their land grant
in Nebraska, as well as the tillage and
towns that have, as if by magic sprung
up on it within the last two years.
Their sales have beea numerous, be
cause on easy terms tea years credit
and six per cent, interest :
The Ambassador converses through an
interpreter, is about fifty years of age
short and slightly built. His face is be
nignant and .his bearing affable.
His sons are at Rutgers college in New
Jersey, and-propose to complete there
the full classical course. . They hare al
ready read Caesar and Cioero, with a
part of Xenophon's Anabasis. They
apeak -English with surprising correct
ness, though with some hesitation. I
have seldom seen three young students
more prepossessing;. ;
The embassy, ail told, is one hundred
and fourteen strong. Thoy saw the Mis
souri at. Omaha which is a mammoth to
eyes that have looked only on Japanese
rivers, but it was unfortunately the dead
of night when their train crossed the
Mississippi, at Burlington, which is there
more thu twice as broad as tfce Missouri.
Once befofe and only onee has Ja- i
pan sent out ambassadors with a view to
oirele -Vhv ear thWbmt. tha, career of the
former expedition was arrested in ISC7
before it reached Am ?rica, by a war at
home. Let us trust that the present
mission will be more fortunate, and have
fieo course till it has touched Christen
dom at every point. It ie framed on the
model ef the exploring party Burlin
game led forth from China, and will
learn more because composed of more
reccoptive stuff.
The present embassy owes, if not its
existence, yetits magnificent proportions,
to the United States Minister to Japan,
Hon. Charles DeLong, who accompanies
the ambassadorial party. Mr. D. has
traveled more in Japan than any other
foreigner. The comfort of the sunrise
legates throughout their trans-eontinen-tal
tour has been greatly promoted by
Mr. Charles Brooks, who came with
them from San Francisoo, and is the
time-honored Japanese Consul there.
PERSONAL MATTERS. , ! '
Regarding the members of the corD3.
my limits oblige me while having both
bands full ot information to open only
my little finger.
The "Princesses," concerning whom
so much has been said, are five girls
three in their teens, and two still youn
ger. They still retain native dress ',
which' is indescribable at least by a mas
culine pen. It seoms to lack petticoat",
and to be marked by a thick girdle, wide
6leeves, and over-fckirts strangely slashed
at the side, law hair is gathered into
several clubs secured by gay skewers,
ribbons, ete. Had these cirla beea
dressed in the latent fashioas of the Pa
cific elope, even if not weather-bound
three weeks with Mormons, they would
have found them antiquated on their ar
rival in Chicago. The intention u not
to send all five to any one school, but to
scatter them, that having no chahoe to
speak to one another they may perforce
speak English.- Their . faces are toa
broad and noses tco flat far our tastes.
After all they are pretty : their eyes and
eybrows are very fine. It is surprising
how many ot the company hare already
been abroad- Ouo tells me he has re
sided in London, another at tho Hague,
a third came to Boston in 18CG ; studied
there until 180, and cruelly political
economy, lie says that at least ten 61 ;
the corps have been in America before.
ihe number ot Japanese now at their
studies abroad is estimated by the em
bassy at over six hundred and the "Jar
ger hair' of these in the United States. '
At Rutger's College alone there are
twenty-five.
AH the males of the party wear the
Frank dress, and, what is more, I am in
formed that they bought it in Japan
itself. That sort-of attire was prohibit
ed by the old exclusionist party, but, on
their downfall, a mania, or reaction in
favor of all things foreign, set in and
still flows like a tide that knows n? ebb.
It ia odd enough that the Japanese civd
war, beginning just as ours ended, was a
dispute about pants and petticoats and
petticoats of the ultra ceaservatives.
Decimal coinage is one significant in
novation to which I cannot be indiffer
ent, remembering the ancient adage.
"One weight, one measure, and one eoin.
Would all the world ia harmony conjoin."
One of the party has just explained
to me the Japanese dime. Its obverse
bears the rising sun,' embraced by stalks
of the chrysantheum and rising beneath
a flower flanked by two leaves of that
plant. The reverse is a dragon, encir
cled by a legend which being interpreted
reads : Great Niphoa Risieg Sun.

Mark Twain, in his tew lecture re
cently delivered in Chicago, fives the
following account of hi Nevada experi
ence. Quite unexpectedly he received
an invitation one day from a newspaper
in Virginia City, with which he had
been corresponding, to oomo an t be a re
porter on that journal at a salary of $2.7
a week in gold. He went and remained
three years. The life of a reporter wa
described in the following terms:
"I reported on that morning new&pu
per three years, and it was pretty hard
work. But I enjoyed its attractions.
Reporting is the best school in the worM
to get a knowledge of human boings, and
human ways.' A nice, gentlemanly re-'
porter I make no rcferenees is welt
treated by everybody. Jn.st think of
the widorange of his acquaintanceship,'
his experience of life and society I NoM
other occupation brings a man into sueh
familiar social relations with all grades
and classes of people. The last thing at
night midnight he goes browing'
around alter items among police and jail
birds, in the lock-up, questioning the
prisoners, and making pleasant and last
ing friendships with tome of the worst
peeple ia the world. And the veiy next,
evening he gets hitrself up regtrdless ef
expense, puU on all tha good tbthes hisj
friends have got, goes and takes dinner
with the Governor, or the Commander-;
in-Chitf of the Diotrict, tho United
States. Senator, and some more of the
upper crust of society. Ho is on good
terms with all of them, and is present,
at every publio gathering, and hai easy
access to every variety of people. Why;
I breakfasted almost every morning with!
the Governor, dined with the principal
clergyman, and frlept in the station1
house.
VA reporter has to He a little; of
course, or they would discharge hiui. '
That is the only drawbaok-to the profes
sion. That is why I left it. I am differ
ent from Washington ; I have a higher
and grander standard of principle. '
Washington eould not lie. I can lie,"
but I won't. Reporting is faoinatins;,
but then it is distressing to have to lie
so. Lying ii bad lying is very bad. :
Every individual in this house knows'
that by experience. I think that for a'
man to tell a lie when ho can't make
anything by it, is wrong."
After the repertorial experience ef Mr;
Clemens was ended, he became editor-in-chief
of the paper on which be was"
working. He kept his position one'
week. The reason for this extreme'
brevity of time was that, according to',
the oode of ethics of Virginia City, if
yeu injured a mon you were expected to'
challenge him. Duel? accumulated rap
idly on his hands. The first three or
four he did cot notice, as it was thought
the persons would not fight. But at.
length he had trouble with the editor of
tho rival sheet, and a challenge natsed;
The boys were delighted, especially
Steve, a near and dear friend. . -
His friends took him out in tha
woods to practice with a revolver, thai"
beiag tha favorite, dueling weapon.
His opponent was a long, lean fellow;
and not brilliant. . A target for piateav
was made by leaning a rail againat i.
ma-aoor to represent his antagonist, 'Sqcf t
putting on a squah for aWadTh,;
rail was a little, too mffrtrtf5arirtLlrre, -but
the squash did very well. He could
not hit the rail, or even the stable-door.
To make it mora uncomfortable they"
could heer this antagonist with his'
friends practicing in a neighboring valley.
Steve, being a dead shot, killed a bird;
and the other party coining over to tee
what was tho matter, the credit of this
shot was given to Mark, and the party
were informed that he could do the name'
thing nine times out of ten. When'
Mark and his friends got home that
night, they found a note declining the
honor of a duel. AH tho other dueli
were declined with thanks, and Steve'
got them much to hi delight. But ac
cidentally hearing of his powers, they
were all off, whereas that belligerent'
party was greatly grieved.

JTiifttlflstble Timber Thieving."
We have just heard of a good anec-'
dote of John I. Blair, the railroad mag
nate. He owns a largo proportion of tha
timber land in Cherokee County, and .
one of the most annoying features of
his landed possessions springs from the
fact that people will persist in appropri
ating fuel from his timber lots without
asking his consent, or rendering any
equivalent therefor, A year ago he was
traveling through Cherokee County,
when a storm overtook him, and he wee
obliged to take shelter in a homestead
er's cabin. lie wa3 completely chilled;
and a good fire was somethiog ho want
ed above anything c!se, and he requested
his host to pile on the wood. The host
replied that the people thereabouts Lad
great, trouble in supplying themselves'
with wood, and had to use it very tpar-.
ingly. He said that old Blair' owned aU
the timber, and would neither sill it
give it away. Blair responded:
or
. "Man, in such weather as this you are"
justified iu stealing wood if you can't get
it any other way and if you go cold while
old Blair's timbri9 within easy ditanco
you are a bigger fool than I would be."
Blair, half frozen in a prnirio cabin,
shivered over a few smouldering embers;
looked at the raatter differently from
