A close observer of the last entire term, leaves it possible for us to say, that to far as the court is concerned. nothing has occurred but which merits the applause of all lovers of justice.

Reed ease. Both aie distinct in matter, but one as models. The most stately examples of reusic writing are to be fouud in tbe charges of courts. Where each word uttered is weighed with an exactness which justice alone roquires, it is not to be wondered that accuracy and simplici ty of fcpeech are approximated. In tho charge to the jury in the Reed case, we are not certain but the point was abso lutely reached. The student of Un guage tin da almost as many who say what they do not want to, as what they do. Nearly aa many difficulties arise from inaccuracy of speech as from abera tions in morals. In view of these fact. no study is more tuiggcstive th.m the formal utterances of uen upon whose words hii!Z lite or deaU. It is a matter of regret to a)' obscrviiK attaches of the court, that both the charges alluded to have not been published in full. With out flattery, it can be fs'rly said that in the first his honor gave existence to a vigorous commentary on bgal ethics, and in the latter, that he e balanced his language as to express mthing unjust. and in addition produced a thesis cov ering the cass remarkable br its dignity and simplicity. The grand jury during their session disposed of over one hund-ed and fifty cases, nearly half the numler being lg nored. On Friday last thai body made their final presentations, aid were dis charged. The Judge, notwithstanding his severe aocident, was lc good cheer. Ills closing words to thejury were very complimentary. He sai4, io substance, tu-k iucy werr iu oue repect, an excep- uou io grana juries, inasmuch as but one man had been presented who had not confessed or been convicted. Each one thJjA1 7 a.

The State of Nebraska Jate herself that the office of Ilmtd States district judge is filled by one of ner own citizeps eo worthy of the dis tinction he has achieved ; and young men may see illustrated in his honor, the court, the maxim that "in adversity is prosperity. It is further a matter for satisfaction that the ministerial depart ment of the court is presided over bv so worthy and upright a citizen as the lion no. JJaily, U. S. Marshal.

The quantity is almost boundless, the bed covering several sec I tiona of land I Seward county has made a very valua hie discovery, if the report in the btate Journal is correct. It is said that a sev enteen foot vein of lime has leen found so "free from carbon and other foreign substances, that it ia ued for plastering without burning, by "imply slacking and mixtnc with tne ordinary quantity sand. A strata of silicate of macae sia has also been discovered, which is aid to be eqail to the famous New Jersey silicate. This will nive material for the manufacture of glass, and also glazing for ths various kinds of pottery. It onlv carries out our idea of manufac tures to be established all over the State. This will be a link in the chain to make Nebraska what she is destined to be a manufacturing State. Curious Divorce Case. A curious divorce case, founded upon the plea that the marriage was compul Bory and contracted under protest, is pending in a JJaltimore court. I ho plaintiff is the husband, who says that in July. 1871, he was politely invited to the house of his father-in-law by that gentleman, who. getting him there, was mr m rt iMid fvts m r am iii lora tvi ! rra I "IS AUAIVUS IU1 snaj luiuivuiuiv ui-inavi between hia daughter and the plaintiff, iL-a r A knl.l t K t lotto m nnaniiOP htr tiiav uv ivi a, nvvva , tnata(AlSlia In. i 1 l'r wrt l-t 1 1 k Vi A lvrfnmQr I VtA nyans-wMsa.., tj.a vlllliC -Al VllgUiaU who had been provided performed the ceremony.

World save : - - " 1 here is but one tuorougaoieu iu vne hite house stable, and that one is the famous (for his war record) Cincinnati, who is, I am told, a son of Lexington. Cincinnati is a fine, large, bay horse, without a spot of white about him. He is about sixteen and a half bands high. and is said to be as many years old. His days of usefulness are past, though he eojoys good health, but he ia considered too old to be ridden much now. IJeisa most intelligent animal, and appears to understand all that is said to him, and is wonderfully fond of being petted. He will follow any one disposed to stroke his face from one side ot bis stall to the other, and hold his nose againu the grating to receive a caress. Cincinnati was captured during the war, on Jeff. Davis' plantation, in Mississippi. The lucky capturer was was Gen. Thomas Kilby Smith, of Ohio. This officer. thinking the horse too fine for his own use (he being only a colonel at the time), presented Cincinnati to Gen. Grant.- luis was in ibo, l oeiieve, ana irom that time Cincinnati was on every battle field on which Gen. Grant appeared. He was a plucky horse, and stood fire well, and ho passes into history.

Woodson. the Reform governor that, as has been proven, procured from Ruchanan county. an illegal issue ot -00,000 railroad bonds, for a fee of $20,000, paid to him as attorney tor the company. lthaD- penea tnac rv ooason was at tne same time acting as attorney for the county, and at the same time was drawing pay from the county Treasury, for his sup posed services in protecting it from thieves and robbers. Now it tarns out that the same county has been m eteno isly bled by Claiborne, another distinguished political reformer ot the Riair-Airown type. A commis- Uoner of pure and undefiled liberal re- form was appointed, a few months ago. by Gov. Brown, to locate the State Lu natic Asylum. They traveled the coun try over from Dan to Bersheba. seeking some healthy rural site fur the domicils of tte State's insane. Finally they came to ifucbanan county, ana pitched their tent in tbe village of St. Joseph. xn county commissioners met ana ap propriated $15,000 to help build the asyium. The commissioners bethought themselves soon after that St. Joset h was the very spot they had been 60 long seek rig, and thereupon located their asylum, and went home happy. Bit somehow or other there has arisen an inquiry after that $ 1 5,000. The Asy lum authorities expected it in vain to drop into their coffers.

OREEL-Y'a WILL. I Horace Greeiey, of the town of New Castle, Westchester eounty. State of New York, aged sixty-one year, be ing in fair health and in the posesion ot my mental faculties, revoking all lor- mer wills, do make this my last will and testament Item 1. I give and bequeath all the property of which 1 may die possessed, including lands, mortgages, bonds, note ot hand, debts, stocks, dues and obliga tions, to my eldest daughter, Ida ! Greeiey, one-half to bo ued at her own discretion, in the education and support of her sister, Gabrielle.

Witcess my hand and seal this 9th day of November, 1872. (Sined) Horace Greelet, IL. S. The above instrument, consisting of one sheet, was on this 29th day of No vember, 1872, declared to us by Horace Greelej', the testater therein mentioned, to be his last will and testament, and he at the same time acknowledged to us,' and each of us, that he had Mirned and sealed the same ; and we, therefore, at his request and in the presence of each other, sign our names thereto as attest ing witnesses. (Signed) Reginald Hart, Mount Kisco, (Signed) Susan II. Lamson, East Poultney, Va. WffER. THE WILL WAS FOUND. The above will was written on a sheet of Tribune note io Mf. Greeley's own hand writing. It was presented to Mr Greeley for executiou or acknowledge ment less than two nours before bis death. The existence of the will was known only to Mr. Greeley until after he had been removed to Ur.Choate s. Mr, Greeley had placed the will in a tin box with his other pipers, to which none but himself had access. Before he left Mr. Johnson's he gave the box in that gen tietnan's charge. When it became evi- oent mil iur. vrreeiey cou.u not survive, . . a . a II . Mr .Tnhnann. in tha nreienee of the daughters and ' their counsel, Judge Hart, opened the box and the will was fouud. The document was given into the custody of Mr. J. Stuart, and at the first lucid interval before Mr. Greeley's death the will was presented to the dy- - a n . ing man, ana ne, in tne presence ot tne subscribing witness, acknowledged it to be bis last will and testament. THE WILL CONTESTED. New York, Dec. 9, 1872 To the Surrogate of Westchester county ill at 11 shall be there to contest Wait if we are detained. (Signed) T. T. Williams, Mr. Greeley's daughters were aston ished, ducn a proceeding had never been dreamed of, especially as Mr. Wil liams had been Mr. Greelev's counsel. Mr. Hart paid that be had understood that on Friday last Mr. Sinclair presented a will dated January, 1871, but that he could see no gromd4 upon which the present will could be contested. Mr, Greeley had willed all of his property to his children, just as he 6hould have done. The Surrogate suggested that the pro ceedings rest (it was then teh o'clock) until Mr. Williams could appear. At eleven o'clock promptly, Mr. Williams walkrd in looking very solemn. Mr. G P. Nelson, counsel for Mr. William M, Skinner, special guardian to Gabrielle, also appeared. Mr. V illiams was an nounced, and the Court again resumed its session. Counsel said he appeared on behalf of Messrs. Samuel Sinclair, Richard II. Manning and Charles Storrs, who had been named in a former will a ita executors, and requested that an ad journment take place until 1 1:35 to ena ble them to be present, as be expected them on a late train. The adjournment was granted. At 11:35 Messrs, Man ning, and Storrs appeared. Mr. Wil liams, after a private interview with them, which consumed another half hour, presented the said will.

Won't be Johnscnizei From the Washington Cor. of the St. Louis One of the curiosities of political af fairs, as far as they relate to the South, is tbe case with which its "old school" schemers and those at the North who are affiliated therewith, shifl their grounds of personal attack or defense, as exigency may seem to require. No bet ter proof of the want of principle can be given. Take the attitude of their press (.Southern and their allies) towards Grant at the present moment, and com pare it with what it was a few weeks ago. 1 do not, ot course, include such V a m a insanities as Pat Donan of the Cau casian, or some reebie imitators ot linck Pomeroy elsewhere, but representative journals like those of Richmond, Mobile and Memphis or ot your own city and of Louisvi le, of a little different ebade. It would almost be supposed we bad pased through a heated contest, during which the successful candidate was noth ing to them but an able bul y and rascal corrupt in every act and self-seeking in every purpose. At the present mo ment they are tmng to stroke him down placate him for their own use pro ceeding upon their own theory of what Grant is and must be, they are in various ways trying to cajole him is they did Andrew Johnson. The President's ap preciation of their motives can be seen a - in a casual remark made to the writer when this topic was mentioned. Grant dryly suggested that "Mr. Johnson was not living now." Shortly after election, we prophecied that the next dodge of the Democracy, four years hence, weuld be to run Grant for President, and by this it would seem they ara laying the pipe already.

KDITOR- Mr. Colfax told a friend to-day that he had not decided as yet whether he would or would not take the offer made to him by some of the Tribune stock holders, lie also said the offer did not come formally from the Tribune directo ry, but intimated plainly that those who made it, control shares enough to make it a fact if Uo accepted. The salary ten dered is twenty thousand dollars, one- half of which is to be in the form of an annual investment in Tribune stock. A STRTJCGLE FOR CONTROL. There are stories afloat that Whitelaw Reid and publisher Sinclair have been struggling for the control, and that this movement for Colfax is the card played by Sinclair and Dr. Ayers, who are the heaviest stockholders. THE TRIBUNK TO BE STRICTLY REPUB LICAN HEREAFTER. There can ba no mistaking the offer to Mr. Colfax, which is designed as a direct announcement to the country that the Tribune s to be kept steadily, here after, in the Republican traces. Sari Times. We clip the following sensible remarks from the Beatrice Express which we consider equally applicable to this place : It's no use talking, the times are . . . ' hard : or. in other words, money is WT Ttt scarce. H betber this state ot things is the result of an insufficient supply of currency in the country ; or of the Bos ton fire; or of the cpizooty ; or of short crops ; sr of several of these caused com bined, it would be hard to say. Trade is dull, and in this vicinity, as elsewhere, money is very scarce not so scarce however, as at the Last, where discounts on the best of paper are enormous. With reference to the situation here, one thing is plain; the dullness is due in a great measure to the fact that the country is producing little or nothing, and is paying out a great deal. We raise a surplus of grain, bat its transpor tation eats up its cost, and the profit is destroyed. Nothing lse is sent out of the country in the shape of products, hence there is no income. Cannot the "hard times.' so far as this place is concerned, be traced to this cause? Ihe remedy lies in establishing some thing that will produce money. We need to bring in instead of pay out. It ia this constant drain tnat depletes the pockets of all classes. With a large I Prou.ctis'e,P(wer. e could defy all sorts wujcb, nuciucr iiio pmuucii) lie grain, flour, woolen goods, paper goods, oil, or other article whatsoever, provid it be one that is in demand and that i produced from the soil or from tho manufacture of raw material. Until this producing capacity is established. we may always be subject to seasons of dullness and financial depression. These seasons, extending over years, ruin towns completely. e assume mat its producing nower is what Beatrice must depend r its prosperity, sn.l for tne reason mat it has nothing equally as reliable upon hich to depend. It has not the pros pect of sufficient commerce to warrant the belief that thi will maintain its growth ; it cannot afford to depend upon railroads to build it up. Its natural and mdst available resoircc is its facility for manufacturing. To the extent that this opportunity is improved, will be, in all human probability, the extent of tbe town's prosperity. Sensible. Mr. Greeley's doctors have been inter viewed with no very great addition to the stock of public knowledge. Dr. Choate declined to toll the symptoms of the disease or tbe mode of treatment h' had promised to keep it a secret for tbe present. Dr. Brown of the Bloom ingdale asylum was similarly reticent, though he said he did not think the disea-e dated further back than Mrs. j Greeley's death-bed and his sleepless attendance and esid there was an almost utter prostration of the nervous system the nerve neither of the ttomach nor ibe brain would act. Dr. Brown Se quard had his opinions, but preferred not to make them public now, yet went on to cay that the base and upper part of the brain were both effected, and one side partially paralyzed. Dr. Hammond denied this, said there was oo paralysis, no affection of the base of the brain ; he had inflatuation of the membranes and cauticable substances of the brain, the result of intense mental excitement and exertion ; he had overworked bis brain ; it was a great mistake that stim ulants beef-tea aud sherry were not given earlier ; and Dr. Hauimcnd also greatly regretted that there was not a post-ruortem examination and bis brain weighed, as ia Mr. Webster's ca"-e. Most likely the doctors will discuss the case, compare notes, and make a formal statement of their observations and conclusions. But it corals to one word overwork-.

You are bound to please your, children, and your children are bound to please each other, and you are bound to please your servant if you expect theui to please you. Some men are pleasant in the household and nowhere else. We all know such men. They are good fathers and kind husbands. If you had seen them in their own homes j'ou would have thought they were al most angels; but if you had seen them in the stteet, in their stores, tbe count ing houses, or anywhere else outside of their own homes, you would have thought them almost savage. But the oppo.-ite is apt to be the case with oth ers. When among strangers or neigh bors they endeavor to act with propriety but when thev get homo they say to themselves, "I have played a part Jong enough, and now I nm going to be nat ural." So they sit down, and are ugly; and snappish, and blunt and disngreea ble. They lay aside those little court-' sies that make the rruhet floor smooth, and make the hardest things like velvet, and that make life pleasant. They er pend all their politeness in placea where it will bring t-ilver and gold. Eott to Scad.' Thomas Wcnthw orth Higginson says' in a recent number of tho iroman'' Journal: 1 was once ealled upon to prescribe in tellectually for a young girl of fair abilt tic. who showed no want of brains ia conversation, but had a perfect indiffer ence to books. She read dutifully and torpidly whatever wa set before her novels, travels, history, all were the same ; each page drove out the previous naco. ana ner memory vtas uiuu. Her narents asked me to teach her her tf and rtud : lie ioined io the reouest. consented to try the experiment, on m condition that she would faithfully read a single book in the way I should direct She consented. . . , It was at the time of Kossuth's visit, when everybody was talking about the Hungarian revolutions. The book I chose was"Ilungary in 184," by Brace, a book of far more interest thn than now. I prescribed it in daily doses of one chapter. If possible she was to read that - the chapters being chort but un der no conceivable circumstances wa? she to read more than that. Alter ear !r chapter she was to put down, in a black book I gave her, some remark suggested by it. She must mention something that had interested her. or seek ibe ex planation of some word, or anythicg ebo bhe pleased. Her comment might Iz only to say thatGorgey was a trawor, or to inquire how bis name ehould be pro nounced ; but at least there must be ono sentence of remark per chapter. From time to time I was to see what rbe had written, and answer her quet-ti ns, if any. This was the preset iptio.-i, and the took it courageously. I knew in advance what would be tho greatest difficulty. It was to keep her to one chapter. It heemod to her such a mistake, and such a waste of opportunity, when fhe could so taii'y manage five or six chapters in a day. , - . - - ., Had she done so, ail would have Ihtn lo.-t, eo I was inexorable. The conse quence was that f he never failed to rtu.; her chapter; and when hho got to th? end of it, for want of anything better to do, she read it over again, and went to work with her note book. It was a vt-fy tiico note book, and she wrote '' i.hed at the copiousness and variety ot her notes. On some days, to be pure, there would be but a single senfenca, and that visibly written with effect ; but almost always there were questions, doubts and criticisms, all of which I met as I could. 1 found my own mind tax ed by hers, and finally read every chap ter carefully that 1 might be ready tor her. And at the end she told me with delight that for the first time in her life she bad read a book. Where was the magic of the process? I suppose mainly in the restraint, the moderate paae and the necessity of writ ing something. "Reading," says n.7 Lord Bacon, "maketh a full man, writ inpan exact man." To clearly define and systematize what you know write 1 - q Eojhcoi's ITecd. Of all earthly undertakings, none pays better than the brooding over an ungain ly boy. What shall be doue with him? Love him as none but a mother can loye. Ilis destiny is in your hands. Bear wit :i him. Take an interest in his affairs; win and respect his confidence. Go v his bed.-ide at night with a kiss, and a blessing, and whispered a prayer. Hi may pretend dumber, but he will VS'A his wile of it with tears in his eyes years affr you have gone to your reward. When he sees that you are less offend ed with his boyish rudeness and follies, than with the slightest want of integri ty, that you are pioud of him, cont-nt with him, he will make the mothci'p great heart of love a resting place. Let the spirit of adventure take him tiie world over, be will never forgot wh.'o idol and pride he was "in every oho'h way, and of no use."
