BUCK REEK.
March brewed beer is said to be the

and as it gets fit to Use about the first
of May, it has passed into a custom
with brewers Cn or about that tiute to
send out to each and all of their cus
tomers' a barrel or two of extra strong,
foaming, March brewed beer, called
Buck beer, and the German legend runs
In this wise: A party of jolly Teu
tons had long been enjoying themselves
drinking much beer, ori pleasant May
day, in old Germany. After many
parting cup's, they finally essayed to go
home. One of the number, feeling
lnore beery than the rest, ran his head
against a stone wall, literally butting
it, sheep fashion. His companions
asked him what lie was doing, when he
replied: Nothing, only that old Buck
went by and kicked me, didn't you see

Two weeks tefore this event the

As the day set for the business ap

more and more airy, their hair more

from Great Britain, whose capital to
each family will ruii on an average

'I7L0GUED CATTLEs
We this week visited the stock of
Mr. Hugh Orr, at the farm of S. L.
Thomas, near Pour Mile Creek. They
are pure blooded Devons, and really as
fine animals of the breed as we ever
saw. All stock men know that there
are various opinions as to the merits of
the Short Horn and the Devon breeds
of cattle, and considerable rivalry be
tween the breeders of each variety."
Our friends, Orr and Thomas are en
thusiastic Devon lovers; and for the
purioses that Mr. Orr intends to use
some of this stock that is, to cross
with Texas herds they are no doubt
the In st and most suitable breed.
For niilk, ant consequently as butter
and cheese makers, the Devon also
stands high.
rESCKIPTIOX OF STOCK.
Christopher, two year old bull, herd
book pedigree 403, and a large, fine
aninlal two younger bulls, respective-
j ly; Counsellor and Nebraska Chief, five
or six months old, verv large for their
age,' and as slick as moles.

in the herd-book are, ccnselieritjy, pure
blood Devon, worth any ones while to
examine, especially in this country
where so much of tha future wealth of
the farmer must depend oil tile quality
of the stock he keeps.
Part of this herd goes to Cheyenne,
to join the rest of Mr. Orr's cattle on
the plains,, and the rest remain here
with Mr- Thomas.

There Is no pain which the Centaur LTnlment
will not relieve, no swelling It will net subdue,
and no lameness which it will not cure. This is
strong language, but it Is true. -Where the parts
are not gone, its effects are ttarrellous. It has
produced more cures of rheumatism, neuralgia,
lock-jaw, palsy, sprains, swellings, ear-ache,
caked-breasts, scalds, burns, salt-rheum, &c,
upon the human frame, and of strains, spavin,
galls. &c, upon animals in one year than have
all other pretended remedies since the world
began. It is a counter-irritant, an all-healing
pain-reliever. Cripples throw away their
crutches, the lame walk, poisonous bites arc ren
dered harmless, and the wounded are healed
without a scar. It is no humbug. Thereelpe.ls
selling as no article ever before sold, ahd !t sells
because it. does just what It pretends to do.
Those who now suffer from rheumatism pain or
swelling deserve to suffer If they will not use
Centaur Liniment, more than 1000 certificates
of remarkable cures, including frozen limbs,
chronic-rheumatism, gout, running tumours, &c
have .been received. We will send a circular
containing certificates, the recipe. &c, gratis to
to any one requesting it. One bottle of the yel
low v.Tapper Centaur Liniment is worth one
hundred dollars for foundered or sweenied hor
ses and mules, or for screw-worm In sheep.
Stock-owners this liniment is worth your at
tention. No family should be without Centaur
Liniment: J. B. Rose & Co., New York. -HMy
Castobia Is more than a substitute for Cas

which is certain to assimilate the food, regulate
the bowels, cure wind colic and produce natural

THE AWAKENING.
By Mrs. Chavncey Wiltse.
From The Omaha Republican.
Winter lay dying, wild the wind-harps walled.
By fitful March their tuneful chords were
.swept.
From helpless hands an ley sceptre fell
The chill reign ceased, and April softly wept.
The few dead leaves that clung to withered
. stems,
Rustled a reuuiMu ns they fluttering fell ;
Glowing w ith inward life, on bare, brown boughs,
Unfurling buds with leaf and blossom swell.
The waters wakening from their wintry sleep.
By Wooing winds, released from icy chains,
Fountains and lakes, rills, buoks and river.? glad,
"Withlsilvery sounds, unite in dulcet strains.
Soft, fleecy clouds float in an azure sky.
Like hclmltss ships sailing o'er shoreless seas.
Seeking no harbor, for no haven bound.
But drifting ouward with eachpassing breeze
The Joyous robins chirp with twittering notes
A rapturous prelude to the music rare
Of the wild, wordless, matchless melodies
Of thrush and oriole, soon to fill tho air.
On woody slopes, deep fringed with velvet moss
W here sunny lights and flickering shadows
meet
Anemones and odorous violets
Embalm the air with incense pure and sweet.
Swift flies the shuttle of tin Jnolseless loom.
Where viewless fairies ply with tlngers licet,
Weaving, In varied tints of living green,
A grassy carpet 'ncaih our wandering foe.
Caressing zephyrs kiss the trembling leaves
As May trips lightly o'er her path of flowers.
Merry with music, sweet with breath of bloom.
On joyous wings swift fly the golden hours.

The ridiculous flurry which the New
York papers made on the Curtis resig
nation is only another eviclcifce of how
little there is to censure in tho conduct
of. the- Adminstration. While we
choerftllly testify to the scholarship
and editorial ability of Mr. Curtis, we
are fully convinced tnat all the most
impracticable aud unpopular features
of the civil service rules were devised
or suggested by him, and that civil ser1
vice reform is likely to be the gainer
by Ins resignation. In fact his resig
nation is a matter entirely personal to
himself, and not of the slightest con
sequence either to the civil service, the
Administration, or to the country at
large. We . have no doubt Mr. Curtis
himself regrets the unwarrantable
manner in which his nanie has been
used. Republic.
The Coining Woman!
From Kate Field's Critique on lkurhum.
Since my introduction to Barnum's
female gymnast a gnoddooklng,. well
formed mother of a family, who walks
about unflinchingly . with men and
boys on her shoulders find carries a
300 pound gun as easily as the ordinary
woman carries the clothes-basket I am
persuaded that "the coming woman,"
like brother Jonathan will "lick all cre
ation." In that good time, voman will
have her rights because she will have
her muscle. Then if there are murders
and playful boatings between husbands
nnd wives, the wives will enjoy all tho
glory of crime. What an outlook! And
what a sublime conso'ation to the pres
ent enfeebled race of wives that are
having their throats cut and their eyes
carved out merely because their biceps
have not gone iuto training! Barnum,s
female gymnast is an example to her
sex. What woman has done, woman
may do again. Mothers, train up your
daughters in the way they should fight,
and when they are married they well
not depart this life. God is on the side
of the stoutest muscle, as well as of the
heaviest battalions. It is perfectly
useless for Miss Anthony to talk about
the equality of the sexes as long as a
man etui strangle his mother-in law.
