XIIE IIU3IUK OF IT.
"N hen Tweed was aked his occupa
tion, while being incarcerated at
BLaekwell's Island, his answer was "A
Statesman." Does Democratic States
manship end tiiere?
Ed Herald: How about the inter
est on our School bonds? Is there
uny money in the Treasury to pay it?
if not is there any one who lias guar
anteed the payment of it? Perhaps
5,000 loans without interest can be
made? How is the crisis? How is
Cuba? Mickey.
Read the record of the Republican
and Democratic caucuses at "Washing
ton. The Republican ' members want
the (salary grab) law repealed by a
large majority, while ..-seventy-seven
Democratic members out of eighty
went in for no repeal. Purity! You
see. - -
The Liberals have lost about the
only member of Congress vi horn they
f leeted last year. (Icneral Panning, of
the Second Ohio District, participated
in the Republican caucus at Washing
ton, and has given in his full allegi
ance to the party. "We do not knew of
smother living monument to commem
orate the great political reformation of
1S72. Globe St. Louis.
Bishop Cummins, of Kentucky, lias
withdrawn fre'rn the Episcopal Church
and instituted rfeW church, which he
-alls "The Reformed Episcopal Church
of America." He adopts Bishop
"White's Prayer book of 1785. Tln5 dif
ficulty between Uislrop Cummins and
the Church is about ritualism and
inter-communion with other sects:
The Lincoln Journal ha'a' column
called "What the Pa revs Sat," under
the head of "Cass county," last Tues
day, we read along about two scamps
that hooke'd some clothes, and about
Mr. Burdick and Mr. Goodell and Mr.
Foote, of Council Bluffs, getting hurt,
jind wondered where all these people
lived in Cass" county fhrvt the IIet:ali

As Vye prophesied last week, the Cu
bans delay f ulfiling the orders of the
home Government in regard to deliv
ering up the Virginius. Xew men are
being taken on at the Navy Yard. The
Roanoke, Colorsido and Florida, three
vessels of war are being made ready .as"
fast as possible for active service. The
receiving ships are literally overrun
with applicants who desire to enlist in
the navy. The President has had offer
after offer of hind troops in case of
war.
A SENS I RLE 31 AN.
C. M. Parker, of Lincoln, is a sensi
ble man. Some one put in the Jour
nal a notice that a music teacher could
be found at Colonel Parker's, and here
is what he says:
C. M. Parker is not Colonel-, never
was Colonel, don't wish to be called
Colenel, don't reside on N street, nei
ther does Miss Lewis reside at my
house. I reside on 10th street. Miss
Lewis can be found at the residence of
C. B. Parker, 'o 12, X. street.
I am respectfully,
C. M. Parker
The Tweed verdict gives, the Xew
York Times great rejoicing. "When
it first opened on Tweed in 1871, the
World, the Herald, and even the Trib
une denounced the Times for its action,
and one of them advised the Ring to
sue that paper for libel. Xow that
Tweed is notorious as a rascal, and has
been proven such, the Tribune says it
is "The most righteous verdict ever
given by an American jury," and the
Herald declares: The whole continent
will rejoice at the news of Tweed's
conviction.
OPENING OF CONGRESS.
THE FORTY-THIRD SESSION.
The Republican caucus at "Washing
ton repudiated the back pay steal, as it
is called, w hile out of eighty Demo
cratic members, only three went in for
repealing the increase of salary law;
S. S. Cox, Holman and one other. The
"in for the grab" Democrats, nominated
Fernando "Wood, a back-payster, for
Speaker, and supported him by seventy
seven votes, while Cox, anti-grab, only
received two votes and they ask us to
turn the country over to their manage
ment for the safcs of reform and pu
rity. Ye Gods ! mmmmmimmamam
A fellow by the name of Sam. Fow
ler, dead broke, out m Xevada, con
jured up an old machine, used by hat
ters for measuring heads, in order to
lit plug hats to them, had some extra
wires and springs put in and then an
nounced himself as a son of O. S. Fow
ler, Phrenologist : called his machine a
craniometer, charged 62,50 for a chart,
and at hist accounts was coining mon
ey. So much for genius, predicated on
man's love of being humbugged by a
long name and plenty of brass.
A fair sample of the bad effect of
this indiscriminate howling about pub
lic men is' exemplified in Kansas.
Every other man of prominence there
wanted to be United States Senator it
would seem, anil they pestered the life
out of the Governor. "Whenever a
name was mentioned for the position
all the newspapers pitched into the
owner of that name and proved him
corrupt, and venal, until in despair the
Governor appointed a new man that
no one had heard of, and all the outside
world must think that every public
man in Kansas is corrupt, or their own
people would not say so.
A young Ohio lady who lately emi
grated to this State, said a good thing
the other day. "When I was a girl, in
Ohio, just after the war, I used to
wonder what could or would become
of all the Generals, Colonels, Captains
and other officers of the army. When
I came to Nebraska I found out ; every
other man I was introduced to had a
General, Colonel, Captain, or something
to his name."
Our attention was drawn to the
truth of this by reading the personals
in one of the Omaha dailies, lately.
Literally, every other name had some
sort of handle to it.

A LOUISVILLE MYSTERY.
Editor Herald. Our quiet anel
peaceful little village has been brought
to a fever heat for the last few days,
anel intense excitement still prevails.
Even the olelest citizens say that noth
ing has ever happened within their
knowledge of so startling and myster
ious a nature.
The circumstances, as nearly as we
have been able to gather them, are as
follows.
A citizen of this place, Mr. Xoycs,
starteel on an afternoon walk on last
Sunday. Ho had not proceeeled far
when his attention was attracted by
what he supposed to be the whining of
a elog. He sit once proceeded to the
spot from' whence the sounel came a
deep ravine near the railroad and, true
enough, founel the above named animal
busily engaged in exhuming something
from the ground. Mr. X. at once pro
ceeded to search into the apparent un
easiness manifested by the tlog. He
saw that there was evidence of some
thing startling having transpired there.
Upon removing the elirt anel rubbish
a Imuran skull was presented to his
view. It had evidently been crushed
by a heavy blow from some deadly
missile. Also the bones of a leg ami
arm. Upon further search, he discov
ered several remnants of clothing and
leaves of a note booki Also, the redics
of several letters, all so badly mutila
ted that it is almost impossible to as
certain anything elefinite from them.
While Mr. X. was looking for further
developments, our friend, Dr. Water
man, who had been visiting some pa
tients in the country, came riding along
and, noticing Mr. X., rode as nearly as
he could to the spot.tieel his horse, and,
having reached the place, eliscovereel a
stone on which were marks of blooel.
He says there can be no doubt as to its
being blooel.
Everything goes to show that there
has been foul play here at some time.
Doubtless some unfortunate has been
suddenly, anel without w arning, calleel
to his last resting place by the hand of
a foul assassin, which is soiikeiy to oc
cur in our western country.
Since writing the above we learn
there was a mureler committed or sup
posed to have been committed here not
long since, and justice demands that
every effort shall be made to unravel
tins startling mystery. J. R.
