A JoUjFrisai T7crth Having. 1 ' Our Digestion; Or, My Jolly Fritnd's Secret," is the happy title of Dio Lewis' latest and most important book, a beautifully bound c:ry of which we have just received from Messrs E. IIan xafop.d fc Co., the Western Publishers We assure the readers of the Herald that the afore.caid "Jolly Friend" com municates not one only, but a goodly number of secrets well worth knowing. He solves the problem of cheap livimr, showing how om may live well and thrive, upon less than one dollar a iccck! He teaches how to live so that one need never be troubled with ':the blue.," or suffer with biliousness, or dyspepsia. He toils how to manage to that you shall have white teeth, sweet breath, Btron muscle1?, pood spirits, refreshing sleep, and Ions HTe. Our "Jolly Friend" coun sels well and wisely on all these point.", and many more, aud enforces hij pre cepts by a host of anecdotes, and a vein of mirthful raillery, that are enjoyable in the extreme. We confidently believe this Look will save thousands of doctors' bills, if its wisdom is heeded ; fur how to kcejy well is, after all, the "principal thing to most of us. This elegant volume is sold exclu sively through spent., and at quite a low price for so valuable a work.. Wc com mend it to any of our readers who may be on the lookout for profitable employ ment. K Han.naford & Co., 192 West Modison Street, Chicago, is the full ad dress of the Publishers, and one of the most reliable firms in the book business. We should not forget to mention the Parmele, Wayman, and Vivian; nee, none. So we see that Mr. White could not have vetoed that ordinance if he had felt eo disposed, and had no vote in the matter. On the 21st of December it was ordered that the Finance Commit tee ascertain the amount of money due the Bank lst National) and John Fitz gerald, and report to the Mayor and Clerk, and they should iesuo orders for the amount due. Those voting for that motion were Messrs. Parmele, Fitzger ald, Buttery, and Vivian, aud against it Messrs. Cubing and Wayman. Mr. White had no vote. That order was never carried out. Oa the 25th of De cember all the money was ordered from the Bank to the City Treasurer. This meeting of the Council was called by Messrs. Parmele, Cushing and Fitzger ald, and Mr. White had no vote in the action of the Council. The Mayor and Counsil may have both made mistake?, but even our worst con stitutional croaker3 knoic that if Mr. White and a good Council are elected, our school house tcill be built and our credit and resources will be in better condition than ever before.

There is a strong probability of a combination among the capitalists the owners of factories and others furnishing the means to run large business firms. They can combine as well as the work men ; they have as good a right, and if, as they claim, wages have reached their highest limit and they are driven to the wall we may expect to sue all business stopped for the summer. A to Pcor Folks. Somo very foolish men East are stir ring up our people to strike for higher wages ; various trades unions hav been formed, and the poor, deluded victims, will, no doubt, be threatened and cajoled to take a stand for what they are led to beautiful steel plate portrait of the au .1 1 .V. .1 11 .

Plattsmouth has the Gnsst chanea for an elevator on the banks of the Missouri, of any town on the river. A building of any weight rtn I size can be erected on the very banks of th stream, almost over the decks of n Barge or Steamboat and be perfectly eife somethit g almost impossible else where on the brinks of old muddy. We have received from G. C. Hiukok, Solon, Otoe County, Neb., a catalogue of seeds roots, bulbs, plant', shrubs, forest trees, iTc, grown and put up by him in his nurery at that place, which contains a very good assortment of all the things mentioned. These catalogues are sent free to any on? sendiug their addrc5, and with such headquarters to obtaiu the meaus of adorning the yard and garden, O oe County should blos som lue ths n so. The Omaha Dailies have made a con tract and adopted some very sensible rules about payments, &C They arc determined to conduct their busmets on a cash basis alter this. No free lists, no free puffs, no churchor odge charities, pay for what you get, and get what 3'ou pay for. This is r:ght ; we agree perfectly with them in all their rules until they come down to thi one : "No Dnily exchanges will be made with Weekly papers." This is simply one of those things Omaha cannot afford to do. Under stand, wc do not speak of this matter on ! ,1.1 1 It m. - - our own account we can pay tor the tuey claim, troin. pure honesty and love Will the laboring man never learn that striking for higher wages does not permanently benefit his condition? Can ha not see as plainly as the nose on his face that if the cost of manufacturing an article is increased it is simply added to its value, and some other poor man must pay for it ? For in?tancr, 6Uppo.se all the shoemakers strike and ask fifty cents a pair mora for their vork, or what is the same thing, they decide to woik eight hours a day ins'ead of ten. The price of all boots a;id shoes goes up 50 cents, that is all there is of it. Now the hoot and shoe makers are satNfied, and they are doing better, but who buys their shoes? The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker, and they are poor as well, and the poor shoe makers, who have bettered their conditions as exchange if we want it but because we know the influence a daily paper has on the thoughts and minds of those who read it constantly. Cut off the Omaha exchanges from the country press, or force them to pay for the same, and many will send abroad for a Chicago, St Louis, or New York daily, which is much larger and fuller as far as news goes and in a short time instead of public matters being viewed from a Nebraska stand point, they would 80 butchers combine and the price of justice, have thrown a burden on the poor of all cta-sjs except themselves; in snort, have not helped the general masses of poor folks all over the world (which is their loader's cry) but simply the poor shoemaker. Now, how docs this work? Let us tee: Soon the butcher says, "stars ! !" I have to pay so much for shoes far my family, and the butcher's boy says the shoemaker's boy gets bigger wage;, and he must,' be viewed through the glasses of New York, Chicago, or St. Louis or mayhap Lincoln instead of Omaha. It is likewi-e a matter of doubt wheth er the County Press can't do without the Omaha papers better than the Oma ha Dailies can do without the County papers. Suppose the County papers CDmbina and say we won't exchanse of meat is raised. Tha baker and can dlestick maker follow suit on the same ground and for the same reason. Now, pray tell wherein lli3 poor shoemaker is benefited ? He gets 50 cts a day more for his work and pays out f l.'J a day more for his living than he did before. If this is considered too narrow an il lustration, we simply point to the coudi SpeakiDg of c mbinations, there is another class of people who may com bine, who may form a trade-union that few have thought of hitherto. It looks like it now. They are waking up. All these trades-men, all these oil men,, al these malcontents who think they do not receive enough of this world's goods ; ye of the big cities, especially, suppose the farmers of this laud should combine and say: "We'll quit farming for three years, grain's too low. We can live on what we i.ave raised ; we can burn lard oil, wear sheeps' wool clothes, eat our own hogs and cattle, and do without taa, sugar and coffee for a year or so." How would it work. Where would all the high-fa-lu-tin "Independent order of No. 1 operative masons," or the "first class co-operative strike all the year round house-builders union," in New York or Boston feel about that ? How long be fore they'd find hoeing corn and tatcrs fur their own grub, harder work than hiying brick or sawing lumber at $3 or $4 per day. (Jeutlemen strikers, it may come to this, and if ever it does the Farmers have the dead wood on the game. A friend drops in and says the people in bis part of the country are very anx ious to know what hn became of the Faunas trial. We "answer by ths authority of the Governor himself regarding tha d-lay, and will remark that hi words are backed up by legal gentlemen from Omaha with whom we have conversed. The trial did not take place last fall 6oIely because it could not be reached on the docket. Thore were some two hun dre cases on said docket, and Jud 'e Lake could not do otherwise than tako them up as they appeared in legal order, unless by common consent of the whole bar. A petition to this effect wa3 circulated arnang the Attorney's there, but justice to their own clients demanded that they should not sign such a petition and thus injure the prospects of partias whose interests were committed to th?ir charge. Gov. F.f8 trial will come off this term if it can be readied, and if not, as soon thereafter a3 it can be done. This ws are assured of, and our friends may rest satisfied that justice will bo meted out. metropolitan papers (?), as they call themselves, be for state news, and that's the liveliest part of their paper often times. All these things taken in considera tion, and as Omaha is an old ftiend of ours, we give a word of advice to her citizens for old times' sake and good luck. It i3 this. If your newspaper men arc too poor to eend their dailies over this little State, you had better make up a pony purse and pay for the exchanges, Omaha will make money by it in tl.e end. For the Uirald. 0U3 CITY ELSCTIC1T. The municipal election will soon be upon us. A Mayor, five Councilmen, a TT"7 TT" r?p I Since the 10th of this mouth we have received no Omaha Daily exchanges : agreeably to their new rules they have cut us off. We make no objections on our part, and have given our reasons why we think Oaia-ha cannot afford this little game, in another columa. Mr. Ilosewater.of tha Bee, makes ui a proposition by which we can get the Bee as a premium, &;. We do not ac cept, and are not ready to turn canvass ing agent yet, for any other paper than our own. Sines writing our other article and the above, we learn from reliable authority, that a strong combination will be made by the weekly county papers to cut off O in ah a weekly exchanges and thus de prive them of State Lews, and alo to forbear clipping from them, or in any with Omaha, where would our great tion of' lhe ljtormg classes' twenty years ago, wnen you tnat read this now were all boys. Are they any better off Do they live better, or are they happier ? Have they prevented any uiaa or set of men from making money that have had the chance and the ability ? And yet they receive threefold the wages now that tney did twenty years ago. It is said that the teudency of the times is to make the poor poorer and the rich richer. Grunted; what has caused this state? Trude-uuions and the bad management of the leaders of t: e poor er classes ; nothing else. Combinations always produce counter combinations. Sharp, shrewd men, all over the country become tired of the petty impositions they are obliged to submit to as individu als, or wfcile conducting a small business and they have combined themselves into companies Or corpoiations which results in the monopolies we hear so much of. To illustrate : Not long since, in an other town than this, the citizens (that ia mostly small dealers) were asked to $4.00 per cord for-wood. This was uot ail, the gentlemen (?) who hauled the wood invariably drew short measure, less than a cord or a half cord, and the poor men who bought wood had to j submit, or quarrel, or waste more time than the shortage on the wood amounted to. But, theso same wood hauling gen tlemen would contract and haul and sell to the railroad company the same kiud of wood at $3.00 per cord on the follow ing conditions : "to.be 8 feet high, 4i feet cut piled two cords high and ac cepted on.y after being measured by their agent," which measurement took place weeks alter the first hanlibg, some times, when it had settled nicely, and we guess the railroad company got an honest cord of wov-d. What has this to do with strikes? Nothing, only it shows the dishonesty of one class of "poor folks against another portion of their own folks. This dishonesty has driven the best Clerk, Marshal, and Peliee Judge are to be elected. There is not a man, woman or child in the city but wid admit that the present administration of city affairs has been cf more real value and worth to the peo pie than all other administrations put together. Our avenues are opened and improved. Oar sidewalks are built, and our High School building is und r con tract ar.d well under way. Let us not stop now to fight or quarrel over any petty grievances thnt may need redress ing, but let us re-elect the same Council and give them an opportunity to finish up tho good work already so well begun. and by tha close of eummer or early fall we will have a school house of which we may well be. proud. Some claim that the Mayor and Council have made eome injudicious moves, but no man can charge that atiy action has been taken with dishonest motives. If money has been taken out of She people's treasury, it has been invariably to pay the people's debts. Unlike its predecessors, this Council cannot be charged with "steal ing!. " If we act the part of wise men, ANOTHER BEARING. There is still another point to be con eidercd about strikes that ought to make a good, really honest, republican citizen of a free country, bo he laboring man or not, pau?e before he enters uprn .ueh wild arid ill-con.-idered theories o obtaining all liij rights, lest he ma' lose some rights he has forgotten. The child that tries to hold three apples in little hands only big enough for two, enerally lets all three come to the ground. All this tarmoil about wages and -trikes and the rights of labor, and the oppression of capitol is likely to c.ll for governmental interference, especially, this trade-union system, which may do for a J'urojcn, Monarchical govern ment, but is altogether out of place iu a free llcpublic, in fact that has already bt'en done. Petitions from both sides have been before Congress, and have been sent to the President. Disturbances in the finances of a coun try, in its producing power, in the safety of property, always bring forth a large and strong number of people who desire peace, quiet, safety for their household goods at any price, and strong and ur gent appeals will b tnent to interfere and legilate for the protection of one or both parties. The argument will be a government should be parental. It should advise, protect and control its citizens and the pa :ental government will in the end stretch forth its hand. It may be for good, it might be for evil in this case. A parental government is always strongly akin to a monarchial govern ment. As love follows pity so does power follow protection. - S7ATS XTESIS.

Third, planr iu good, fine soil. Fourth, let the roots extend in their natural po sition, iiriu, cover the roots with cood fine soul, ..nd pour on water enough to soften it to thin mud. Sixth, move the tree so as to bring the inud in contact with every roof, and every spot. Sev enth, now fill in good soil until it is as high on the tree as it was before it was taken up ; a little higjier will do no harm.

Sev; nty five years ago the best, as a source of sugar, was scarcely known in Europe; now there are on the conti nent not less than lM)0 beet sugar facto ries, producing annually nearly one fourth of all the sugar consumed. This progress has been something remarkable, and most timely, since the production of sugar from the cane has not increas ed as fa it as consumption has. and but for the sin p'y furi.i.-dud ly the beet. theie must have been a great seirc.ty, accompanied with a corresponding rise iu price. In Europe the extent of the cultivation of the suar beet is runii.'v increasing, and factories arc springing up in every ui.cction. Within a few vears the beet sugar en tcrpii.-e 8?cms to Have taken firm root in this country. I wo companies are at work iu California and one in Illinois All of these companies are believed to be doing a prosperous business. We have latelv seen a letter written by the senior tuemoer ot t lie company operating at Freeport. Illinois, in which it was stated that the cipital invested at that point is over $150,000, and that they will plant, the coining year, COO acres in Itets. The Sacramento Co. is now working up about 50 tons of roots, and making about 3,000 pounds of white sugar iany. At Freeport a lame part of the beets used are grown by farmers living in the : eighSorhood, who contract to raie them for the company. .The price paid the past - ar has beeri about $4 5! per ton, a d the aver&sie yield per acre, from 12 to 20 tons. There is probably no other crop whim could be raised in the vicinity of Freeport which would have paid farmer s well as this. This point is to be noted ; that wher ever good beets cau be grown, there the manufacture of sugar from them has been a profitable investment. There are excellent reasons for believing the cli mate and soil nf Nebraska to be au dura bly adapted to the growth of btets rich r t t ' l I in sugar. jjincoin ,ournar. rSSSCNAL. Hon.
