AMATLTIi TIIKATICICALS.
During the past two weeks we have
been instructirely and amusingly edi
fied by a performance called "The
Spirit of '7(5." In very small compass
1t presents Iwth sides of the "Woman
tiuestlon" with great force and perhaps
no better method of putting the pro
and tons of this great question before
the people could possibly be adopted.
In a nutshell it combines the whole
argument and we are happy to know
that riattsmouth contains so much
real talent in this line. Morally and
conscientiously used, the Drama is
one great lever for good and sure guid
ance and instruction in the affairs of
life. The letters appended will ex
plain themselves. "The Spirit of '70"
was first given on last Friday evening,
and by special request (as Avill be seen)
it was repeated on Wednesday even
ing last.

Fdrft and Orchard Planting-.
Mr. J. T. Allan, our well known
President of the State Horticultural
Society, makes the following request
of fruit and tree' pro wers throughout
the State, which we gladly publish:
The State Horticultural Society re
quests the tree planters of Nebraska
to forward at once full reports of the
number of fruit and forest trees plant
ed this spring. The encouragement
llils will give at home, and the reputa
tion which we wish to maintain abroad
as the foremost State in forest planting,
demands that every section should be
heard from. Each planter, aside from
reporting his own work, will benefit
the cans by finding how much has
been done in his precinct or county.
Forest growing is a great natural
work in which the prairie States
fchould take the lead, and I am satisfied
that extensive planting has been done
this season, the Horticultural Society
urgently ask for full remits.
The Press of the State are requested
to call attention to the above.

F.IRHIM3 VS. EDITING.
A gentlemnn from Elm wood write
us, enclosing an additional dolhu; for
some advertising, and thinks hefyrill
turn editor, because he can make more
money than by farming or stock-rafting;
An intimate knowledge of the
capabilities of a business often changes
our estimate of its value. We think
farming aiid stock-raising a better and
more remunerative business than edit
ing a paper, and one that rarely fails
of success if -carried bh With any rea
sonable degree of ability, prudence and
good judgment, whereas all the busi
ness, tact and brains, and ability in the
world cannot make a paper pay, some
times, nor keep a mercantile business
from going behind, if this gentleman
lias a good farm that he wants to
trade for the Herald office, and
he can live easier by the pen than the
plow, just come along with your title
deeds; we can swap, maybe.
Just here is as good a place perhaps
to say a word to our readers on several
points, called to mind by this gentle
man's letter. In the first place, it has
long been our opinion that many farm
ers injure themselves and their busi
ness immensely, by constantly decry
ing it, and whining about it, every
time they pay ;my money out, or tel
ling every one constantly what a hard
life" it is, and how much better off
their neighbors are in other occupa
tions. We have been for many years trying
to persuade our young men to engage
in agricultural pursuits. Thinkers all
over the land have written and spoken
to induce young men not to over-crowd
the professions and mercantile walks
of life, where success is uncertain, or
often dangerous to health and morals.
Good old Horace Greeley kept telling
men to go West, get a farm and be
happy. One of the objects of the
(J range, as represented to us, was to
increase sociability, make the farmers
life more pleasant, and afford a higher
culture with more resources of infor
mation as well as healthy recreation and
mental stimulus combined, in order
to keep your sons and j our daughters
on the farm. As it has been running
lately its tendency is to drive middle
men out of business and to force all
men towards cultivating land as a
means of subsistencei We will not en'
ter upon a discussion here as to the ul
timate result of such course, but sim
ply call attention to the absurdity of
trying to induce mankind either by
force or argument, to embrace an oc
cupation which those already engaged
in are constantly telling us is so oner
ous, so meagre in its results, and so be
hind every other walk of life in pleas
ure or happiness. Farmers reflect on
this! Do you want your sons to grow
up farmers, your daughters, farmers'
wives? Or, do you prefer that they
should despise their parents' occupa
tion, and rush off to the villages and
towns the moment they become ot
suitable years, and engage in other
business, oftentimes nothing like as
reputable? You can expect no other
result but this to como from your
children if you constantly decry the
farm, and persistently envy your
neighbors' apparent prosperity, because
from the nature of his business he
wears cleaner clothes or rides in a bug
gy now and then on business, in which
it would not be servicable or economi
cal to use a lumber wagon.
Why not present the bright side of
your business now and then, and tell
folks of the lovely sunlight farmers
can always labor in; of the pure water
they drink; of the average number of
hours they work compared with many
other laborers, and the great, great
fact that, as a rule, they own their
homes the sacred birth-place of their
children, the scene of their struggles,
their losses or their triumphs, while
comparatively few in other walks of
life ever accomplish this. Again, the
farmer is, or can be, nearly always home
with his family, and there to welcome
his friends, while the railroad conduc
tor, postal agent, newspaper corres
pondent or editor, can seldom leave the
grinding monotony of his business.
His wife, his children, may be sick, his
dearets friend come to see him, and yet
the tiain must pull out, the mail be at
tended to, or the morning newspaper
prepared for its avaricious and exact
ing readers. One more advantage,
tho farmers' boy can almost always be
his own "boss," in a few years; com
mand his own time, and that is a good
deal. Xo hard times throws him out
of employment; no hard hearted mo
nopoly (?) can dismiss him to put in a
new set of the new President's friends,
or of the new owners of a newspaper.
Remember all these things, boys, when
people talk and growl about farming
and wish they were in some other
business.
The physician is the slave of the com
munity at all hours. The lawyer
waits years often till the old chaps die
off, or a lucky hit gives him practice,
and the clergyman lives and dies, as a
rule, a pauper.
As a money making business in this
State, we defy any person to show us
the individual who ever came here
(from '57 on) and entered upon farming
as a career, that was qualified for the
business, had good health, no bad hab
its, and who never 'burnt out,' who is
not at this day in possession of a com
fortable independence. Can you say
the same of any other business?
plete epitome of the rules, laws and
regulations governing all ordinary
transactions in business, and the prices
(in some issue or other) of nearly every
tool, merchandise or machinery he
uses, as well as the usual value of all
professional advice, &c, so that he
never need be swindled nor ask useless
questions.
Again, we repeatedly have persons
write us, saying, insert this or that,
and here is money enough to pay for
it; or even lawyers and other profes
sional men, fix a fee or a price for our
work. Xow, pray why should we (a
newspaper) be subject to laws differ
ent from other men? When we want
to buy wheat, corn or merchandise, we
ask the price, and are obliged to pay
the usual market rate or the printed
value the owner puts on his goods. If
we need a doctor or a lawyer, we
don't fix the valuation of their services,
we know nothing of their business,
what it costs them to run it ; and then
reputation is worth something, in fact
a great deal, and we must pay for that.
Yet men every day or two attempt to
fix our fees, dictate to us what we
Should charge for this or that kind of
work, and feel hard if we can't see it
that way. Just turn the tables, Messrs.
lawyers, county officers, farmers and
all of you, and let the editor tread on
your corns once. We won't -squeeze
very hard, but we want you to retlect
on this.
COMMENTS ON A PROCLAMATION.
To return to our man's letter, and a
few words on reading newspapers, and
newspapers themselves. On every pa
per we issue our terms for advertise
ments are printed plain and square.
Xo man who reads, and ever reads to
understand, can fail to find them.
There ought to be no question about
that, but half the people never read
anything in a newspaper but the sto
ries and the funny parts, and then
when they come to do business they
frinl tlrernserves lame. It is safe to sny
that one year's issue of a good country
ne wspaper, if kept and properly filed,
would afford any man nearly a eoirt-
lst. It is proclaimed "To All whom
it may Concern:" It "concerns" every
man, woman and child, within the
realm of the proclamation; for no sane
mind is disinterested in the financial
and moral status of our town and
county, and does not the whisky bil
liard hall have a deleterious effect on
the financial, moral, physical and intel
lectual standing of our people, jeop
ardizing the sanctity of home, vitiating
and dwarfing body, soul and mind, sow
wing broadcast the seeds of idleness,
crime and premature decay, and un
timely death? Would it not be more
humane for our physicians to be per
mitted to establish a pest house within
the limits of the ciry, and advise all to
call that they might have a more lu
crative practice as a skillful physi
cian would send them out unharmed,
with a "ife-time freedom from fear of
small pox whilst all who partake of
the virus of the still go forth with
blood-shot eyes, bloated face and halt
ing gait, to return as the door on its
hinge, to drink the dregs of the serpent
and death? .
2d. He is'perinitted to retail liquors;
licensed, I suppose (to educate the
drunkard's child) for a sum too paltry,
to name, to exchange the fire of death
for the maniac's wail, the inebriate's
penny, the palsied intellect, dead con
science and physical decay. The li
cense system is an unjust monopoly.
It authorizes a few men to make nine
tenths of all the criminals for the tax
paying citizens to support. This is a
burden too grievous to be borne, one
we may well attempt to throw off.
2d. He will not sell to the drunken
husband if forbidden by the wife, com
pelling her silently to bear the torture,
poverty and disgrace, and watch the
consuming fire burn up the once true
and faithful protector, or hazard their
future happiness, or life, it may be,
by forbidding the rumseller to furnish
their husbands liquor; for he would
be doubly cruel after such interference
with his immoral agency; hence the
great uprising of our nation's philan
thropists and Chsistian women, led on :
by the God of truth and justice to res
cue their sisters from the traffic's
meshes.
4th. "Let the poor take their money
home. I don't want their custom."
Yet there was a time when these poor,
forbidden victims walked erect, with
proud and manly brow, with hearts as
true as steel, men of honor and position.
Then the first class billiard hall pro
prietor opened wide the door of wel
come, but since they have been rob
bed, by the lire-fiend's consuming torch,
of money, mind and caste,
'They are kicked about, bolted out,
Money gone, ami credit none.''
5th. He most cordially invites men
who have a surplus of money (seeking
a depository for it) to leave it with
him. He would also advise those hav
ing more time allotted them by the
great almoner of hours than they
can satisfactorily till up, to come and
check it off proliitably with him in his
refining, purifying retreat, where they
may partake freeley of purest wines
and unadulterated beverages (untested
by the chemist, I trow) invigorating
and fitting them for business, quieting
the nerves for sweet repose and
dreams of fairy lands.
0th. Again lie proclaims no dea l beats
for him. please "let them stay at home
with their w ives " Yes, send them home
now, if homes tliey have, a physical wreck
of degraded manhood, to curse the in
mates with ravings lien llik.-, an I die mi
mourned, nnd lost cterna'.ly. Why tint
finish up the Well begun work or destruc
tion and death, since they havr- been led
on to the present standpoint of inebriety,
unfit f.r home or heaven ? Rut now you
catt theni out of the respectable saloon,
the recruiting office, for the lower dogger
ies where they had never entered, but for
their first glass of wine, with a moneyed
friend in a first class saloon. Would that
every saloon sold only to the drunkard and
depraved. It would be a bright morn
ing star of hope. The great evil wuld
seen be over-past; for the most sanguine
dares haitilv hone to rave the drunkard.
i the malady being beyond the control of
i human agencies. It is the young, sober,
intelligent, industrious, honest and vir
i tiious we hope to save from the fell swoop
of this destroying angel. Else whether
will drift our civil, lnilitical and icligious
liberties? Echo answers where?
7th. Recapitulation of proclamation:
For men of money and cast to call and en
roll their name9. pay their money and re
ceive an honorable permit until dishonor
ably discharged at t lie expiration of their
short period of afiluerce and manhood
Then it will be "let the dead bury the
dead"; when a new proclamation may be
issued for more strong minded moneyed
men. .Such are recruited only at bead
quarters where hattaUion after battalion

for the oncoming slaughter. O, if the
saloonis's would only lead to the scarred

and plant upon the battle field the banner

MARRIAGE OF THE PRESIDENT'S
DAUGHTER.
Miss Nellie Grant was married on
the 21:t inst. to Mr. Algernon Charles
Frederick Sartois, of England. This
is the second AVedding which has taken
place in the "White Ildlue, and has
been the subject of ruttch comment by
the press of the country as well as a
fertile topic of discourse and the ob
ject of much speculation in the social
sphere.
The wedding took place at 11 a. m.,
in the east room of the White House,
which was elegantly-decorated with
flowers, among which was the tradi
tional marriage-bell composed of white
blossoms.
The bridal procession consisted of
Mr. Sartois and Lieut. Fred Grant, fol
lowed by the bridesmaids, eight in
number, the President and Miss Xellie,
Mrs. Grant and the two younger sons
Ulysses and Jessie, and relatives of
the family. The bride's dress was
white silk, with point lace trimmings,
valued at $1,000.
The ceremony was perpetrated by
the Rev. Dr. Tiffany, according to the
form of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, after which the wedding party
with the invited guests, about two
hundred in number, proceeded to the
library where the bridal presents were
displayed. Among the most costly
was a desert set of eighty-four pieces,
presented by (ieo. W. Childs, and a
complete dinner service by A. J. Drex
el, of Philadelphia; two handsome
diamond rings, worth ST.O0O each; a
silver tankard, a toilet set. lace hand
kerchiefs, fans, &c., &c. The Presi
dent's present to his daughter was
810.000.
The. wedding breakfast was then
partaken of, and at G:40 the bridal party
left on a special train for Xew York.
On Friday they embarked for Europe,
on the White Star Steamer, Hal tie,
the President's family going to Xew
York to bid them farewell.
All arrangements had been made to
accommodate the party, the Captain
having given up his state-room for thp
bride and ladies who accompany her,
and a programme arranged for even
ing amusements, during the entire
trip.
The whole nation will unite in wish
ing Miss Xellie Grant happiness in the
new life upon which she has entered.
As the first unmarried lady of the
United States, her life for the last ten
or twelve years has been a most hap
py one. the idol of her family, the
object of constant attention, and adu
lation from every side, the change to a
comparatively private life can not but
be great. At the same time it may be
a most beneficial one, if, as is said.it
was a pure love match ; for if the life
which has been almost one round of
pleasure, has not unfitted her for the
duties of her position, the more quiet
one which is the lot of an English Ma
tron will strengthen her character and
add the elements of worth and useful
ness to the graces which have hither
to been chiefly cultivated.
Again we wish the married couple
all due happiness, and may the Ameri
can wife transplanted " to English
shores always remember that as a
representative of her country she has
it in her power to render it and her
country-women a service by making
the standard of American woman a
high one.

May loth, 1873. f
"Tii'-Top" Fi:iexi: Ry the above
heading you will perceive that we
have not only arrived at our destina
tion, but have also christened our new
city. ( ?) "Well it may be a city some
day, who knows? Just remember
Lincoln's humble commencement.
Yes, here we are, and as T can reach
more of our mutual friends, by one
letter, through your columns, than by
any other means, I the more willingly
comply with your request, i. e., to let
you hear from us.
On the 22d of April our colony, con
sisting of five families, seventeen per
sons in all, started from Glendale, Cass
county, Nebraska. "We had four horse
teams and one ox team, also a small
herd of looso cattle at id colts, having
heavy loads, and encountering1 the
usual difficulties in getting teams "go
ing right," &c., &c. We made slow
progress for a few days some of our
friends camping with us even the sec
ond night. However, we reached that
bright, enterprising town, Hastings,
the forenoon of May 1st., and Saturday
eve., the 2d of May, we rolled into
Lowell, which I must say is a "hard"
place, shooting, and gambling on the
Sabbath, and stores open and doing
business, still they have one Sunday
School, and meeting every other Sab
bath. While at Lowell there was a
heavy storm of wind and rain, that
tried tents and covers, severely. Wc
left Lowell on the nth of May, arriving
on 'our homesteads, in Gosper and
Frontier counties on the 9th, having
been fourteen and one-half days, trav
eling 27.1 miles, almost 10 miles per
day. Total casualties of the trip, one
broken wheel, one broken tongue, two
oxen "alkalied," one stampede, (because
of storm), and a few stick in the mud's,
but nary an injin. I would seriouslv !
advise the very timid people who fear
Indians so very much to come out
here, without delay, as there seems to
be far less danger here than in eastern
Xebraska, or the eastern States. "We
found our claims even better than we
had before thought them. We have
abundance of good growing timber,
trees some of them over four feet in
diameter, besides dry wood in drifts,
etc., sufficient for four or five years'
fuel. Doer Creek is also well lined
with springs, and rock quarries. As
for soil, of course we know nothing.
Settlers tell of raising thirty and forty
bushels of corn per acre, on sod, and
say they can prove it. Promising more

THE FOREMOST TONIC OF THE
AGE.
Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchors, t lie history of its cures and its im
mense iinniuil sales," Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters may be farily entitled the Foremost Tonic
of the Age. It is not only a tonic hut a consti
tutional and local alterative, and its tendency
is to substitute healthy for diseased action
throughout the system. If the stomach is
feeble and torpid it produces a vitalizing im
pression upon its mucous tissues. No sooner
has the dyspeptic swallowed a dose of it
than he knows bv his. sensations that his stom
ach has received" an accession of vigor. It in
creases the desire for food and the abilitv to
digest and assimilate it. If the liver is derelict,
it improves liie condition of the onran and
imparts to it a newand healthful impulse. The
bowels being obstructed it promotes tbe flow
of bile into the intestinal canal and thereby
relieves them ami re-estabishes their natural
action, its effect upon the brain, t he nerves
and kidneys is equally salutary. In short, it
tones, alters and regulates the whole system.
