Poor Old "Ned!" tliat always was his
failing. He has made several fortunes
and lost them all in the same way.
The first time we ever saw Ned Bunt
line he ' drove one of the handsomest
turnouts in New York City, and kept

downs since have been as tho sand3

Professor Mead, of Andover, gives
expression to a fact which is fast, and
generally taking root in the minds of
good citizens, as to the "Right of Bolt

caucus will never be broken Until we
boldly take the ground that it has no
authority, that it imposes no obliga
tion, and that the only claim which
any rrfan h:is upon our votes lies in his
own worthiness."
And Professor Mead of Andover
probably knows a heap about it. Every
good citizen recognises the right to
bolt a bad and vicious or improper
nomination, but the chronic bolter nev
er bolts for this cause. It's only because
he or his pet does'nt get nominated
and has nothing to do with the worthi
ness of candidates.
Geage Sand's Industry.
George Sand's house is very plainly
furnished, but it is everywhere full of
books. How she reads all of them is a
mystery to those who know her; but
she does read them. As pon as
the candles are lighted in the evening
she begins to write, and she continues
until eleven or twelve, performing
during this time an amazing amWnt
of work. She has often been kmrvfa
to finish one of her extraordinary
twenty-page articles in the Revus des
Deux Mondes at one sitting. Such an
article is worth three or four thousand
francs to her; and Mr. Buloz, of the
Retue den Deux Moiules is glad to pay
her that price every fortnight. She
also receives from Levy Freres forty
thousand francs a year for her copy
rights. A VETERAN

Colonel Aleck Pratt, a veteran jour

of tho Waukesha (Wis.) Plaindealer,
is in the city, the guest of his son-in-law,
Mr. Clarence Jones, on Chouteau
avenue. Before his return to Wiscon
sin he w ill visit Ins son, one of the
proprietors of tiie Ive3 House, Sedalia.
During the late unpleasantness the
Colonel had his office, the DailtS In
quirer, of Leavenworth, cleaned out
by the boys in blue, and although he
may not now be wholly reconstructed,
he is an elegant and polished gentle
man, for thirty years, although not a
printer, he has occupied positions in
the rank3 of journalism, for some time
as reporter arid correspondent in Wash
ington. He follows th profession now
from choice; rather than necessity.
With a magnificent farm, any airfdliiit
of real estate property in Waukesha,
the finest horses, cattle, cashmere goats,
and hogs, in his section, he iriight
well retire on his laurels.
We clip the above from the Saint
Louis Globe, and would respectfully
enquire of "Col. Aleck" how many

go to St. Louis ourselves some day and
want to know.
BROUGKT HER TO TIME.
Our Sheriff had a sweet time in ar
resting Mrs. Hilton under the charge
for which she was tried and acquittted
the otlier day. She lay -down on the
ground and refused to go, and would
not budge until Sarm sent for an
express wagon and proposed to haul
her into court in that maiinc'i'.-.Tfmr-nal.

had fallen from grace, and pretty much
everything had fallen from him, when
one day he was ordered into court for
some misdemeanor and refused to
come. The sheriff was sent after him
with a writ of habea corpus. "Rody"
asked leave to step into another room

of clothes off his body and hid them,

COURT SCENE.
Although we have never told the
worid nluch about it, we have a fa
mous Police Court in Plattsmouth. It
is presided over by a small man of the
English persuasion with a high brow,
a woman's voice and two short legs.
The scenes in that court rival Shallow
Dogberry and Fang's courts all united.
Not that the judge combines any of
these renowned jurists in hi3 own per
son, oh no! but the cases ihat come up
there irresisiably remind one of some
such a court as the above named gen
tlemen, creatures df Shakspeare's or
Dickens' fancy, have been popularly
supposed to hold.
Last week two grain buyers had a
row. One swore that the other called
him a DuV:h Son of a female canine
quadruped, and the other asserted that
the Dutch gentleman had unmi3tably
called him an Irish Son of a female
canine, &c. Our Irish friend eouldn't
stand this, and so he "tappd him gently
on the mug" a time or two, and then
our Dutch friend went before the
aforesaid English court, ati'5 swore out
along winded thing called, aa "infor
mation," but in point of fact it con
veys about the least information to
anybody but a lawyer (or a Police Jus
tice, maybe), that any document well
could cofnvey. However, on this" in
formation lxth parties are hauled up
before the little Judge with the high
brow and the short legs.
Now we have two famous lawyers
here with very long K?g3 and moderate
ly high brows, who practice in this
court, and are generally pitted against
each other. "Stinch." is a good na
tural fellow of impcrturable sanj
froid, who served his country in the
hbUr of danger, and ro3e to be a Major
fri an Ohio regiment. After his return
f rouf the army he exhausted the pleas
ures arl emoluments of public life in
Oiiio on the dreeiey issue, and finally
drifted out to the batiks' of old muddy
bound to follow Horace's1 advice any
way and so came Tfesi to grow up with
the country.
Sam. O. is entirely differently differ
ent. He always lived here, and instead
of growing up with tho country he
outgrew the country, the stock, the
trees and the bushes so that at tho age
of twenty-one and a half years, wh'eri
the war broke out, they refused to en
list him in an infantry regiment, be
cause tho principal field officer being
near sighted (he wore glasses) could
never tell whether he wa3 afoot or a
horseback in tho ranks.
lie also declared it impossible to
form an ambuscade with Sam in the
ranks because his head would stick up
over the bushes if Kneeling, and his
feet so far out behind, if laying down,
that no one could ever cover files in his
rear. He then tried cavalry; but as
no horse could be found tall enough to
prevent his spurs from tangling in the
grass, or his stubbing his toe3 on a
etump or the debris of a battle field, he
gave1 up the idle and foolish practice
of war, and came home to fight the
real battle of life with the brains in
his head of which he has enough to
carry him through, and a few to lend
to shorter legged fellotrs,-oa occasions.
Now for the trial. The information
says our Dutch friend haa been as
saulted and battered, and liis nose
shows a little batter and not much
sault. He swears the information is
correct; and then our' Irish friend
comes on the stand, and just here the
Herald dropped in.
Sam C "Tell the court, Mr. Con
nor, all you know about this assault
andjjattery" (gttfat scorn on the last
words).
Connor May it pldifse the court, tho
Jury, the lawyers, all the bystanders
and myself : all I know bout this if,
two loads of wheat come in to-day, and
I climbed up on the load and Fred, you
see I call him Fred, we've alters been
good friends Fred he climbed" vp ' too,
and they was all Dutchmen, and they
gabbled Dutch and I couldn't under
stand a word; and by'me by I asked
the farmer how much he was offered,
and Fred said 72 cents ; so I offered
74 cents, and then I found out Fred
had offered 75 cents in the first place;
and so I got a little riled and offered
73 cents, and told Fred he had lied to
me ; but it was all in fun. all chaff. I
didn't maaa anything, we do it every
day, all us grain buyers.
-"Was that all, Mr. Con
nors?' "Welliia; not exactly. Fred
called ma an Irish' Son, .fee, and I just
tapped hiicr two or three times in a
friendly way I cotfldift stand that,
you know."
Stinch I? "that the way you ?hov
your friendship, Mr. Connor?' Bro.
Stirrehccrrib if yon were to call, me
that, I'd serve you the same wayi
Ht inch "May be you would arid may
be not. I ask you if that is tho way
you show friendship?"
pain. C- If Old en, witness, this has
nothing to do with the case.
Court "Call the next witness," and
Mr. Thatcher, commonly called
"Thatch," for short, comes on, takes the
oath with a smile, just as lie probably
would take a "smile" with an oath,
and then says he don't know much
about the fight, only he called to Con
nor to come down and let him up there.
Lawyer--Whatdid you want to get
up there for?" 'It was kind o my
fight, ai'Id I wanted to put a head on
sortie of 'em, or get orie put on me."
Lawyer Didn't yoil tell Connor to
give it to him?"
Answer "Don't think I did; told
Connor to come down and let me up."
Lawyer "Didn't you tell Connor to
go for him ?"
Ans. Don't remember; guess not.
Lawyer "We don't wan any guess
ing. Didn't you tell Connor to let him
have it?"
Ans. "Yes, I meant the wheat'"
Lawyer "Didn't you tell Connor
not to gouge hi3 eyes out, but to lamm
him?" "No! I never did."
Laicyer" What did you tell him?"
Ans. I told him to give him
Jesso, or else let me up there and I
would." "
Then the lawyers began. Each one
claimed.the other did not know any
thing about law, and could'nt tell a
"salt and battery" case from a com
mon muss (it was a common muss)
and both charged the Court that he
mustn't believe the other on,and both
instructed the Court how to act, and
both got out of- wind at last (Stinch is
generally the longest winded) and tho
Court with great dignity said:
"Gentlemen, it pains me in the high
est degree to think, that in this my
native ahd much beloved town, men
should so act and berate each other on
the public streets so as to call down the
terrors of the law upon them. I can
not allow it "gentle tapping" is
hereafter forbidden in Plattsmouth,
no matter what the provocation.
There is always pro-vocation for crime
and if a few high words about buying
grain gives the license for one man to
tap another, no knowing where we
shall bring up. They may tap the
Court itself by and by. I bind this
man (Connor) over in $500 bonds, and
each of the witnesses in $150 apiece to
appear when called for at the next
term of court.
Sam C. V"e refuse to give bail.
Court Then Mr. Connor goes to jail.
Connor to Cutter Who's the Sheriff,
I want to kno?v?
Court to Connor Stop your noise,
to jail you go.
Roth Lawyers to Court You can,
you can't ; you shall you shan't.
Who ever heard! you're worsG than
Gantt.
The Court to Lawyers and Every
body Dry up this noise! my name is
Haines.
Obey this Court or it arraigns
For foul contempt, each mother's son
Of Lawyer, Witness, or a gun.
Produce your bondsmen, Mr. Sam,
Or off to jail we lug your man.
Then high aloft Sam reared his head,
And to the 'stonished Judge he said:
By that great gift, for each poor cuss,
I'll have him out by habeas corpus.
Axd so he did The end.
PERSONAL.
Hon. John L. Brown, of Greenwood,
called on the Herald and ordered his
paper changed to Plattsmouth, from
which we infer he is moving hta quar
ters to this city. Sorry we were not in.
Mr. Samuel Carter, Justice of the
Peaee, iri Greenwood Precinct, called
and subscribed for the Herald, show
ing his appreciation of a good paper,
thereby.
In the hurry of other matters we
overlooked making any notice of the
return to our city of Mr. Gilbert, form
erly telegraph operator at this place,
and who is now stationed at Fairfield,
Iowa. "Gil" made a pleasant record
here and was much liked by all tUd
good people of Plattsmouth ; his wel
come was correspondingly warm on
his return. He will be hugely tickled
when we inform him that somebody
mistook bim for an Omaha barber.
We were much pleased with a call
from Eddie Wiley, son of Dr Wiley, of
Three Groves. He has been for a long
time a great sufferer from an abcess in
the side, but at last he is better and up
and about. He is trying to canvass
for a very interesting book and we
wish him all success.
