ful and happy.
Owing to the Editor's sickness for a
portion of the week, and the unusual
press of business preceding court week,
the IIerld will be unable to continue
the article on bondi in relation to the
Weeping Water branch. We find there
is much diversity of opinion on this mat
ter, and we hope to be better posted
next week on the whole business. There
is time enough before election, therefore
we postpone the whale matter till next
week.
It is seriously reeciamen JuJ that the
votes of the Electoral College be cast
for Grant, thus making his election
unanimous. The vtry large majority
he received from the people, and the
untimely death of Greeley would make
this course very appropriate.

On Friday, November '29th, at half
past eix in the evening, the greatest
editor in America died peacefully and
calmly at the residence of Dr. Jhoate,
on the Hudson river.
Ho other man Las bo fully identified
himself with' the people of the United
States as an editor and journalist as
lioraee ureeley. bennett Luut up a
great paper, still it was the New York
Herald. The Timet was ably, brilliantly
edited and widely read undor II. J.
Raymond's mannemcnt, but stiil it was
best known as The New York Times.
Tho Tribune was better known and more
generally spoken of among the people as
Greeley's paper, than by its title, The
New York Tribune. Jlr. Greeley's un
fortunate ambition to be President, aad
the way in which be was brought before
the people, alienated rutnfy friends and
his party for a time, but now that the
great man lies dead we may well forget j torn rush bottomed chair, quietly con
this episode of his life, and only look versing with two celebrated friends from
at th'-! great deeds, the bold words be
has spoken for the right aud the true
throughout almost his whole life.
No other man will Cll his place in the

We publish the article on railroads
from Rock Bluffs with pleasure, because
wedet-ire to know, and the people of the
county have a right to know both bides
of this question and to hear all that may
be said for or against the present propo
sition. The Herald, along with the rest, gave
its views on railroads in the State last
week, and it does not exactly agree with
the Rock Bluffs view of the matter ; nev
ertheless, we are just as glad to hear
from them, and we desire to etate again
that we would avoid this matter alto
gether in our paper if it were right that
we should, or if our duty would permit
us to keep "muni." As a journalist we
are expected to epeak out, and as we
told you when we did speak it would be
without fear or favor, though our ideas
might Dot coincide with many in the
county.
We want it distinctly understood that
the Hehald has no arc to grind in this
matter, and no prejudices for or against
any part of your county, but honeptly
and eainestly desires to see all parts and
every precinct prosperous and thriving.
Remember the motto :
The Greatest Good to tiie Great
est Ncmber
On this basis alone shall we discuss
this railroad question. - And no person
should feel hurt that we do not agree
with him because we ask no one to ac
cept our views, only so far as they com
mand his reason and his judgment, and
each and every one has the right to re
ply; our columns are open make it
short is the only restriction.
We recognize the wrongs of Rock
Bluffs; we understand their situation
exactly, for we have lived in just such a
town, and spent our money there, and
know how it goes ourself.
We were not in the county when the
B. &, M. bonds were voted, and of
course had neither lot nor parcel in that
matter, nor will any person well informed
accuse us of any hand in the getting up
or urging of the present proposition.
We were not present when the county
committeo met and know not why or
wherefore they changed the original
proposition, except as we have been told,
viz: thut it wa3 to give all parts of the
county a fair chance to get a railroad.
Neither as an Editor, nor an individu
al, can we have anything but sympathy
and kind feelings towards Rock Bluffs
and her people. Many of our patrons
and readers live there, and furthermore
we are not tied hand and foot, nor bound
down to Pl'ittsmouth. We dissent
wholly and unequivocally from their
view of the matter not on local preju
dices, but because we are down on and
oppose any more Transfers across the
Missouri river that drain our State and
beggar cur counties.
If Rock Bluffs could to-day secure a
tran-fer there and connection with tne
II. & St. Joe R. R., it woukl only be
another curse to herself, to the county
and to the State. From Sioux City to Ru
lo we have been mating transfers and
putting capital in outsiders' pockets,
building up towns and creating taxable
values over in Iowa to the detriment of
our own State. We are not jealous of
our sirter State. We have no quarrel
with her ; but slf preservation is the
first great law of nature, and should be
of States. We cannot afford to da this
business any longer.
In answer to Roek Bluffs on the
Trunk road : It is just as Kkely to hit
that towc as anywhere else. It and the
W. W. R. R. do not not ask for $330,-
000, and the company that propose to
build the Trunk don't care a penny for
Plattsrncuth or any other point particu
larly. -They want the bonds and wi51
run their road where it is the cheapest.
They mentioned Plattsmonth, not the
people here, beeauscaftcra elase calcula
tion it was proven that no bonds could be.
carried without the consent of Flatts
mouth : and as to its making Platts-
mouth, or there not b.'ing any depots,
&a., south of here, that's ail slicer folly.
In the first place railroads don't make
towns any more. lheV cant; and in
the second plaee, they'll make a depot
wherever (here is grain, cattle, and other
products to ship. Of course they get
off with just as few as possible to begin
on. You get your capital, your buyers
and your brains to work at Rock Bluffs
or any other point, and it will get a de
depot fast enough.

At early dawn on Monday, December
2d, 1872, two solitary persons might
have been scn ia a carriage coming
down the long hill that leads to Platts
mouth. One was a newspaper man and
the other was a lady ; pad the first thing
they asked for on arriving at a livery
stable was a Parson ?
As the zoot had got ail Buttery's hor
ses, "E l."' lit out on a double hen-canter
for brother Prcsson. Bro P. was eat
ing watermelons over at his uncles, and
Ed., after telling all tho folks he met to
hunt a prcache-r up quick, came back
The newspaper man of the Mail fearing
that the mail traiu would leave him, had
left himself for the depot, to make sure
cf the thing, and about now the Her
ald comes oa the cyne.

Omaha, on 3 a high government official.
and the other a man who only missed if
by nine votes Judge Ellison, our fa
vorite Judge, rushed up the steps, and
with disheveled hair and raving locks,
,n a roi tetuu'ou5 with emotion, eaitJ :
Tip Top,' my boy, we re going to marry
a Mail man at the Depot at once, and
there's an item for you, como along,
We "kum," and our two Omaha friends
followed in speechless wonder, as we
gravely informed them that we always
did things bo in Plattsmouth.
On arriving at the spacious and well
ventilated depot of the B. & M. R. R
in Nebraska, the Judge with wonderful
suavity of manner, stepped up to a hand
some looking couple, standing "at ease"
in the middle of the floor, and in quicker
than ten minutes two people were made
one, and that one looked awful happy.
The Herald looked bashful, was afraid
to kiss the bride, but wished them all
good luck and bon voyage.
Our friend, the Doctor, who went
along to see fair play, told so many little
stories on the way up, that he wouldn't
be introduced, and we had to go it alone.
Just then the whistle sounded, and here
ends our romance of a wedding in Cass
county.

Comes to us- with Edward Eggleston's
new stcry, "The Mystery of Metropolis-
ville," a purely western yarn. Havin
a lively recollection of the '56 and '7
days, and all the speculation connected
therewith, and being able to point out
several MetropoUviUc on the banks of
"old muddy," the story will be just nuts
for us to crack thi winter.
Hearth and Horns is a very fine paper
and we eagerly hunt for; it among our
exchanges, but as it criticizes pretty se
vereiy all errors lound among its con
temporaries, and withal is "rayther"
hardon us westernfolks without "idees,"
we merely suggest that the engraver or
artist who drew "Whiskey Jim never
saw a stage driver hold his lines as the
"Superior Being" does in Hearth and
Home, and that whip isn't just the
thing. Remember, Mr. H. & II., that
we westerners can drive stage any way,
and the old freighting days are but as
yesterday, in Nebraska.

General Spinner, Colouel Alonzo
Bell, of the Second Auditor's office ; Mr.
Lockwood May, of the Census Bureau :
Mr. Church, of the Congressional Globe,
and Mr. Robert V. C. Mitchell, of the
Treasury, all New Yorkers, returned to
their respective duties on Monday, after
performing good service in the Empire
fctate. 31r. iVUtehell was the bearer ot
a cordial letter of thanks from the Re
publican Congressional Committee to his
friend Thomas Nast, of Harper's, for bis
effective and tuning work during the
recant campaign. It was at Mr. Mitch
ell's suggestions that the committee de
termined to introduce Nast s masterly
cartoons lot tlie documents ot the cam
paign; the manner in which they were
called for was a sure evidence of their
convincing and telling power.
Mr. Mitchell visited Nast at his pleas
ant country house in Monistowm New
Jersey, aud found him highly elaled
over the great victory, and hard at work
on a crushing picture lor the next issue
ot Harper', lie is very pleasantly situ
ated in his elegant home, surrounded by
a very interesting fami!, having a most
estimaole 1 ankee girl tor a helpmeet,
and three bright, well-mannered chil
dren to brighten his household. His
his house is most cosily furnished, and
displays high artistic culture in the se
lections and groupings of the various
aud licit works of art and ornamentation.
In his library ture many valuable works,
bieJ3y pertaining to art or history, civ
idg evidence of die care exercised in
making seIetions as to the accuracy and
value of the matter between the covers
rather than to ornamentation or glitter
of binding. Ilia portfolios contain many
rare and exceedingly fine engravings and
drawing-, embracing different styles or
methods. l.
Mr Nast was highly gratified at the
contents of the committee's letter, and
with modest pride expressed himself ac
cordingly. There is very little romance
about this artist. He is a man of prac
tieaJ ideas and clear convic
tions, as well as an artist of
masterly conception and exhaust
less resource, never acting without
a pure motive. His talent is unpur
chasable. and if, with his unerring pen
cil, he hits people who hardly deserve it,
it is because they are in the way or in
bad company. In matters of controver
sy he don't believe an adversary ehould
be handled with gloves, but rather ag
gressively ; still always fairly. The cam
paign has been one of severe toil to Mr.
Nast, but the consciousness of being
right Las given strength and agility to
the artist's seemingly exhaustless power.

THE ALDIXE. while weced with all the
regularity, hu none ol'tbe temporary or timely
interest characteristic of ordinary periodical!.
It is an elogaat miscellany of pure, light and
graceful literature ; and a collection of pictures,
the rarest specimens of artUtio tkill. in black
and white. Although each euQeeding number
affords a fresh pleasure to its friends, the real
value and beauty of THE ALDI3K will be
most appreciated after it has been bound up at
the close of the year.
ART DEPARTlIEIVr.
Notwithstanding the increase in the price of
subscription last Fall, when TIIE ALDINK as
sumed its present noble proportions and repre
sentative character, the edition tca mora than
doubled during the past year; proving that the
American public appreciate, and will support,
a sincere effort in the cause of Art.
The publishers aro authorized to announce
designs from many of the most eminent artists
of America.
In addition, THE! ALDINE will reproduce
examples of the best foreign masters, selected
with a view to the highest artistic succers, and
greatest general interest : avoiding such as
have become familiar, through photograps, or
eopicsofany kind.
The quarterly tinted plates, for 1873, will
reproduce four of John S. Davis' inimitable
child sketches, appropriate to the four seasons.
These plates, appearing in the issues for Janu
ary, April, July and October, would be alone
worth the price of a year's subscription.
The popular feature of a copiously illustra
ted "Christmas" number will be continued.
To possess such a valuable epitome of the art
world at a cost so trilling, will command the
subscriptions of thousands in every section of
the country; but. as the usefulness and attrac
ot THE ALDINE can be enhanced, in propor.
portion to the numerical increase of its support
ers, the publishers propose to make "assurance
doubly sure." by tue following unparallollod
offer of
JPJ&EMItJM CIIRO
MOS for 1873.
Everv subscriber to THE ALL'ISE. who
pays ia advance for the year 1873, will receive,
ivithout additional charge, a pair of beautiful
oil chrouios, after J. J. Hill, who eminent En
glish painter. The pictures, entitled f The Vil
lage Delle," and "Crossing the Moor," are lis.
20 inches are printed froai 25 different plates,
requiring 23 impressions and tints to perlect
each pu-turo. The same chromos are sold for
i'M per pair in the art stores. As it is the de
termination of its conductors to keep TUB
ALOIS E oit of the reach of competition in ev
ery department, tho chromos will be found
correspondingly ahead of any that can be offer"
ed by other periodical. Every subscriber wil
receive a certificate, over the signature of the
publishers, cuarintksino that the chromos
delivered shall be equal to the samples fur
nished the agent, or the money will be refund
