J. A. MACMURPIIY, .Editor.
County Commissioner's Court meets
on the first Tuesday in April.
The Saline county Tost (Crete) is
publishing one siile of the paier in the
Scandinavian language.
- The iAxuhr and Farmer, at Lincoln,
have consolidated. AVhich is the Organ
of the Grange now, we wonder.
The inventor of the celebrated
Sharpe's Rifle, died on the 13th, inst.
lie was a native of New Jersey.
A full account of the obsequies of
Senator Summer will be found on the
first page of thi paper. -
A young lady employed in a "Watch
factory at Peoria, 111, has invented a
patent watch with "hands" that will
reach out and take the owner by the
collar every night after ten o'clock, and
inarch him home. Ten gross are
snoken for in Peoria already.
As will be seen elsewhere the firm of
Si. IJIoom & Co, long known in PlatU
mouth as a Clothing house, has dis
solved, and Mr. Ilcrold takes the stock
of the firm. We are sorry to part
with S. Rloom & Co, and would be
sorrier still to shake a good-bye to Mr.
Newman.
SENATORIAL.
A correspondent of the Reatrice Ex
press says that Gen. Cobb, of Lincoln,
Gen. Thayer, Gov. Furnas and Ex-Gov-fraor
A. S. Paddock, were all standing
on the steps of a hotel in "Washington
City, not lung since, when a little col
ored boot-black rushed up shouting:
-Rlack your boots, Senators?" All four
ftuck a foot out. How's that for
high? "Pad" got his blacked first
though.
A great deal of f ins has been made
jibout Gov. Furnas because he apply
fd for arms for settlers, on the
Western frontiers. The facts are that
the letters from settlers on the fron
tier fully justified the Governor in ap
plying for said arms. Xo statement
vr as made that there was any danger
of an Indian invasion just now, but
this matter of arm's is one we have
needed a long time and when Govern
ment persistently furnishes, or allows
breech-loading Rifles, to be furnished to
In Hans, it is high time that Whit
Settlers, citizens of this Government
have'a few breech-loaders too. Now
chew that over awhile, grumblers.
Tliere appeared m the Herald last
weak a little piece about a baby mis
take i'cc. The article was sent to us;
it did not mention any place, any
town nor any persons, and yet we
have had our office crowded for days
this week, by handsome young men
iind beautiful- women, wanting to
know if the Herald meant them.
"We never supposed that Plattsmouth
had so many pretty .young couples be
fore. To satisfy all, the editor Btates
that the town where this happened
was not a thousand miles from here,
and' that he has since . learned, the
young gent and lady were named Poti
phar and Mehitable, so it could not
have happened in Plattsmouth, you
see.
TEMPERANCE MATTERS.
The Temperance people of this place
held a meeting ou Friday night, last,
at the Methodist Church, and on Tues
day evening at the Raptist Church.
On Wednesday afternoon the Ladies
held a private meeting, to consult on
the best best methyls of reducing in
temperance." To-morrow, Friday even
ing, there will be another meeting at
the M. E. Church, and on Sunday even
ing a grand Union Temperance Prayer
Meeting will be held at some place, to
le announced during morning Service
from the pulpits of those entering up
on this work.
The absence of the editor of this pa
per from Friday until Tuesday, pre
vented any more lengthened report of
Temperance matters.
PERSONAL.
Hon. Judge Maxwell, of Fremont,
showed us his grave and legal face
Iown here last week.
Our friend DeCastro, just more than
fulfilled his promises, by May of per
formance, here.
Rev. J. G. Presson, formerly of the
. M. E. Church here, was down to see us
and help the Temperance folks, last
Meek.
Emmett Kennard, son of Levi Ken
nard, of Omaha, and an old friend of
the Herald visited, our Sanctum last
vek. Mr. K. is stopping w ith some
relatives. Mr. Polk's, in Cass County
for his health.
Moses Hiatt. 14 years in Nebraska,
Rock Rluffs man. takes a Herald in
his. Jiy the way, Me got ten new sul
3 bribers, and mostly cash ones, last
week. Don't look much as if the Her
ald was becoming so unpopular.
ReT. David Marquette, brother of
our Mr. Marquette, visited us last week
and gave us some good words on tem
I?ranee. took a squint at his new neph
ew and then went west to grow up
with the country. .
O. II. Beason, of Peach Creek. Wash
ing county, Kansas, and formerly a
"Nebraskan, called at the Herald office
not long since. He does not think
Kansas excels .Nebraska as a fanning
country.

Win. J. Ilesser, the florist, of Platts
mouth, has sent his catalogue, and we
are surprised at the increase of his
stock. His success is the best evidence
of his merits as a florist and gardener.
Onr readers should remember that any
thing they need in the way of choice
and new house-plants and shrubbery,
can be obtained of W. J. Ilesser.

IS IT THUS J
We have been credibly informed that
Dr. Livingston has been, and is "run
ning the Herald."
So many people have been reported
as running the Herald in the past
year that we are not as surprised as we
might be. We have become so accus
tomed to hear of a new Editor for this
paper every month or so. that we feel
like the chickens of the emigrant, that
turned over on their backs to be tied,
whenever they saw the boss harness
ing up the horses.
For a long while Gen. Cunningham
"run the Herald," then Dan. Wheel
er took a turn. We believe SamtChap
man was currently reputed to have the
honor for a week or two, but Sam. dis
pleased somebody and they put him
out. Now it's Dr. Livingston, but un
fortunately the miserable man whose
name is at the head of the Herald,
has paid all the bills, and some of them
were pretty heavy, especially about
election time. Now if Dr. L. seriously
means to come in here, we want him
to bring money enough to run the
machine, as well as edit it, or perhaps
these friends who insist that he is run
ning the Herald, will pay his bills
or do you want us to re-furnish the of
fice, Doctor, and buy a new library
what kind of an editorial chair will
you have, Doctor? plush velvet, do?

A very useful feature of the new
Graphic process, by which pictures are
instantly taken for newspaper use, is
to be seen in their advertising columns.
A broker having houses and lots to
sell, inserts a picture of the premises,
and says "the above residence and
grounds situated on street
number will be sold on day," and
every one gets an idea of what the
house looks like. We may expect soon
to see horses, carriages, calicoes, dry
goods patterns, sweet potatoes and
other groceries photographed, and ad
vertised instead of any written de
scription of the article. Verily, the
world does move, but it moves round
in cycles, even as the old-fashions in
dress, come round once in twenty
years or thereabouts, so do the earlier
customs and habits of mankind. The
first impressions of all nations were
conveyed on pajcr by signs, pictures,
without M-ords. and if we live we may
see the heighth of civilization adopt
the same means, but from different
causes. The- ancients drew pictures to
illustrate their views at laborious cost
of- time and patience, and wrote not
because they had no language as com
prehensive as their pictures. We are
conveying our knowledge by pictures
and signs because we can do it better
and more quickly, and are fast getting
too lazy to -write out a long descrip
tion of everything, or too much in a
hurry o read it after it is written.
Extremes meet. The earliest ages and
the latter days will both be represented
in history by hieroglyphics.

OUR GREENWOOD LETTER.
A piece of poetry entitled "The Last
Farewell," is rejected. It always gives
up pain to reject anything of the kind,
ami f"b give our reasons: First, it is
written on both sides of the paper. If
3our articles are not worth wasting
paper enough on to write on one side
of a sheet alone, they are not worth
printing. This piece is supposed to be
poetry, and the first line sets out with
a small f. "The" and "above" cannot
be made to semblance rhyme, neither
can "baby" and "cousin," nor "way" and
"shore." We allow a great deal for in
experience, but it would not be kind
ness to the author to publish this as
poetry.
DEFINITION OF AN EDITOR.
Only too True.
An editor iz a male whose bizinees iz
to navigate a nuze paper. He writes
editorials, grinds ioetry, inserts deths
and weddings, sorts out manuskrips.
keeps a waste basket, blows up the
"devil," steals matter, tites other peo
ples battles, sells his paper for one dol
lar and 50 cents, takes white beans and
apple-sass for pay, when he can get it,
raizes a large family, works 19 hours
out of every 24, knows no Sunday, gits
darned bi everybody, and wonce in a
while whipt bi sumboddy, lives poor,
dies middle aged, iz rewarded for a life
ov toil with a short but free obituary
puff in the nuze papers. Exchanges
pleaze copy. JosJi Billings.
If we havn't felt it in our bones for
the last three weeks that the above
was only too true, no man ever has.
If the grumblers and grow lers about
a newspaper could only see themselves
as others see them, just for one week, an
editor might live and do his duty in
peace hereafter.
A LETTER FROM OUIO.
Greenwood, Neb March 8, 1874.
Ed. Herald Dear Sir: I have
nothing of great importance to write
you at present. Rut 'tis a first duty
that the citizens of the different local
ities of the county should write often
to their home journal. It iuterests me
as much to read the news of what is
going on in our own county as much or
more than other parts. I am also be
ing better pleased with the appearance
of the Herald of late and hope it
may continue to improve and hope to
read more letters from different parts.
At present things look prosierou3 in
this locality. We have been enjoying
a very interesting series of meetings,
conducted by Elder D. R. Dungan, of
Lincoln, and Elder Burrows, of Tecum
seh, Xeb., who are both able speakers
for the Church of Christ, there are some
GO additions to the church. The peo
ple at this place are getting tired of
isms, sects and creeds, and have made
a move to build a church, alout 81,700
having been raised in the last mouth.
The building is to be completed by the
1st of July next.
The citizens here are somewhat an
noyed by being dunned for delinquent
taxes, most of them having paid their
taxes promptly and have their receipts,
some have lost their receipts but can
prove that they have paid, others don't
live in this county and never did. This
is not news for me as I have lived in
Plattsmouth some 10 years and in tho
county 15 years, J had a tolerable fair
idea of how this was running, and as I
talk plain a great many know my views.
But I feel sure that as long as my
friend J. C. Cummins tends to the office
it will be all right.
There is another thing that ought to
be attended to and that is assessment.
The assessors are, all, good, honorable
men, and well respected, but we don't
stop to consider whether they can act
in that capacity correctly or not. It is
generally supposed any porson is capa
ble of acting as assessor, but it requires
a great deal of writing and sound judg
ment. Of course the assessor has the
law before him and unTOrstands his
duty because he has givep it thought
which the people have not. If our
county papers would publish the law
in regard to assessment, so that the
people could read and understand it,
it would give better satisfaction and
save Koine hard words.
Yours truly, W. T. E.

ever heard frouiTiis old parishioners,

A short half-moon and we elect a
number of city officers, and yet not a
man shows his head above water as a
candidate. The newspapers have noth
ing to pop 'a. Come up somebody,
and gave us a chance. Can it be pos
sible that our Mayorship js to go beg

enemy, without a struggle, or a show
of fight? Then the noble and digni
fied "posish" of city council is not be
sneezed at.
There may be a street contract or
two next year, who knows; or another
schoolhouse to build? and a Council
man, with plenty of friends, may put
the work where it will do the most
good. Who is first on the boards?
Don't all answer at once.
POLITICAL LEADERS.
Who are our political leaders? has
been very pertinently asked of the
Herald, lately. We have only to an
swer, that in this free America any
one ean lead that has the ability and
the magnetism to gather friends around
him and lead them to victory.
There is no such thing as a monopo
ly of leadership, it depends on the man
himself whether he will lead or follow.
Xow, if some of our political gentle
men Mho are dissatisfied ai.d grumb
ling will just step to the front and
show tnat they have any t .t. any
skill, any power to lead men and con
trol their minds and thjtuhts they
will soon find followers aud'cjjJead,

J. A. Mac-Murphy, Esq.
Dear Sir: Knowing as I do that
quite a number of the good people of j
Cass County were formerly of this
County,and knowing.too, how welcome
any item of news is to those who have
left their homes and settled in a strange
place, I conceived the idea of giving
them ail item or two through the col
umns of your excellent paper.
We often hear of the fine dry weath
er you have enjoyed all through the
fall. It has almost provoked us to
hear this, for you know misery loves
company and wo have been obliged to
wade through the mud ever since Oc
tober. Xow. howeVer, old 'Winter reigns,
and has set his seal upon all outdoors
in the shape of an ice storm. The old
est settlers say the like was never seen
in these parts. Many large trees in
the woods are turned up by the roots,
and many more have lost nearly all
of their branches. Peach orchards are
nearly all ruined, and many apple orch
ards are very badly injured.
Farmers generally are w-ell up with
their work, but some who have been
building or doing some other than
farm work have their corn yet in the
field.
Occasionally I see the face of a "Bug
Eater" as far east as Ohio. I believe
there are two or three from Weeping
Vv ater in this place visiting their
friends. They look as if life in the
M-est had prepared them to withstand
the dampness of our climate here.
One of them said the other day that
the Ohio people had to go all winter
.with their mouths M-ide open in order
to breathe, which is nearly a fact.
Coming as I did from Nebraska some
time ago, I have enjoyed the fruit,
which is. they say, scarce, but in the
west we should say there was an abun
dance if we had as much.
If this is worthy of a place in your
paper, maybe I shall write again.
Yours, truly, Avis.
The date of this letter is rather old,
but as it contains some good ideas and
pleasant thoughts, we publish it and
beg leave to inform the writer that
only want of space prevented its in
sertion before. Ed.

As far back us in the year of a
respectable family of yeoman emi
grants, named Nassemeier, arrived iu
Baltimore from Hanover, intending to
make a new home in one of the West
ern States. Those were the days be
fore railroads in that direction, and
travellers bound for the prairies
bought huge wagons, stout horses and
oxen, and spent months on the journey.
The Ilassemeiers joined stock with a
party of their fellow-emigrants for the
long ride; but found themselves so
pressed for room in the wagons, after
a day or two, that it seemed advisable
to leave a son, John, a youth eighteen
or nineteen years old at a wayside
village, to rejoin the caravan at a stat
ed point in Pennsylvania, where some
of the party were to quit the train.
But it was no easy thing for the young,
man to reach that same stated point,
after being thus left behind. Jn their
ignorance of the country, his parents
did not take thonght of this dink-ulty,
and as no other emigrant-trains haj
pened to pass through the villiage for
months, and neither stages nor rail
roads offered transportation. John Has
setneier found himself fairly lost in the
great .New Worm. .Not shaking a
word of English, he could not ask
counsel of the villagers, nor even re
member the name of the place whither
his father had directed him to go, and
that parent, upon waiting in vain for
him at said place several days, could
not tell the name of the village whence
he should come, nor communicate his
trouble to others than his equally
ignorant fellow-travellers.
Thus were family and son separated
nearly forty years ago, and destined to
be kept apart for nearly a lifetime by,
by what may be called "the difficulties
of an unwonted language." Despair
ing of a better fate, young JohnCwa
was finally obliged to go to A'ork
where he had been left, for a living,
and could relate his story to no one
until it was too late to think of finding
his kindred. Ie never could recall the
(to him) outlandish title of the towu
where he was to have rejoined the
wagon-train, and when, after several
years, his imperfect English was suf
ficient for the wording of a newspaper
advertisement for information of his
people, he lessened all likelihood of
gaining such information by selling
it is themselves." I especially extend.
