fi and as a rule
3jA the ground that
juries are simply automatons
uud to indict in view of the slightest
violation of a statuatory provision sup
posed to be inflexible,
1 be two events ot a quasi literary
character which marked the term were
the charges of Judge Dundy : First, to
-t . . i - . i
tne graua jury at me opening oi toe
session, ana next to tne petit jury in
submitting the Abuer C. 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,

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.

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

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.

somewhat unhappy in their efforts to re
store purity and honesty to the
home government. 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. Some invest!

though it was going to get particularly
not for somebody. Claiborne stenned

rorwara ana ana said, I cannot tell a
lie. I put into my little pocket." Clair
borne says that he took the $15,000 as
an attorney a fee, to secure the location
of the Asylum at St. Joe. and with the
explanat ion the Missouri reformers are

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,

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.
I here is said to be great excitement

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.

Telegraph Coapasies to be HaarJ.
From the St. Loais Globe's Special Telegrams.
The House Committee on Appropria
tions have decided to allow the telegraph
companies to be heard on the pending
Postal Telegraph bill upon Tuesday even
ing next. Mr. William Gorton appears
for the Western Union, and Dr.
Duff for the Atlantic and Pacific, both of
which companies oppose the Postal Tele
graph project, while Mr. J. W. Brown
appears tor the franklin, and will, it is
understood, favor direct ownership by
tbe Government.
COLFAX AND
THE TRIBUNE
SHIP.
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

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

WIVES COLUMN;
- Family Courtesies.
In the family, the law of pleading
ought to extend from ti e highest to the
lowest. 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.

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.

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
