must add postage to these rates 1 cents a year.
It will also be observed that the rates are
slightly higher abroad, owing to their having to
pre-pay postage, otherwise they are Iaslow as
can be made, aud by this means the poorest
family can secure home news and one or two
foreign papers for little more than the price of
one good paper singly.

"We knew a young lady up in Burt

Now she always could write a good

Alexander II. Stephens says that
when he was a boy he visited a melon
'patch, -and "plugged" the most promis
ing melons, intending to confiscate them
when ripe; but he found that theplug
;ged melons invariably rotted before
they ripened. He suspects that the
professional "democratic" wet-nurses
who are reckoning so confidently on
electing a president in 187G are "plug
ging a melon," and that when they go
for it they will find the fruit rotten.
.Chicago Times.
Unfortunate as the election of three
opposition Senators may be. it is grat
ifying that at least two of them are
good men. John C. Haines of the
First District, ows his election entire
ly to the Republicans who voted for
him, and will doubtless appreciate that
fact. Buehler and Kehoe were elected
by the opposition. Post & Mail.
Sometimes our folks don't think of
these things when they recklessly throw
away their votes on opposition candi
date, throngh spite or on account f a
matter. You are always and
all the time helping elect a democrat,
remember that.
THE UNIVERSITY.
A few days ago while at Lincoln, we
paid a short visit to the University.
Our visit was necessarily short, be
cause the railroad folks wouldn't wait
for us, and instead of time and tide
waiting for a man, now-a-days, its
steam and a time-table that cuts short
all our pleasures.
Prologue now to business. Chan
cellor Benton very kindly dropped that
Latin class along the banks of the Ti
ber, and came out to welcome us, then
we were shown the various rooms used
for experiments and recitations; drop
ped into Prof. Hitchcock's Geometry
section, and found out all the angular
ities that mankind is ever possessed of.
From thence to the Cabinet where a
big fellow, that beats old King Stork
all hollow, stands guard and the last
sad remnants of Mastodons, Saurians
and other Nebraska "Critters" who
lived, and fought, and died before Un
iversites were dreamt of, lie bottled,
and baked, and shelved all around.
Skeletons of a horse, cow, and the ani
mal called man give our young men a
good chance to study the best shape of
their future Trotters, when they get to
be Vanderbilts or Bonners, and experi
ments with "short-horns" will be great
ly aided by a perfect knowledge of the
irrowth and density of bone, together
vrith the best places to pile the meat on,
and as the best study of man is man,
not skeletons, we won't say anything
about that grim old remiuiscense down
there.
Up stairs, of course, but in a light
pleasant room is the Univesity Print
ins Office' where the little Hesperian
Student is issued. A number of the
voung gentlemen in the University set
the type, but Mr. Rhodes is sort of boss,
and makes up the enfant forms, &c
A Mr. Howard is the editor.
Altogether we were much pleased
with our short visit, and mean to go
again and stay longer. We certainly
think onr higher systems of education
are becoming more practical, and that
; University education will come to
mean a really useful education, for all
the practical needs of life, and not
mere eraiuiwd scholarship.
EMINENT NERRASKANS.
EDMUNDS' BOOK !
HOW IT CAME AB0CT- THE FUN
OF THE THINGWHAT ED
MUNDS WAS, Ac, Ac.
Nnyacity has the dead-wKd on the Ad
rophoroas Hattle-ness of all the
Noetic Oentlemen whose
Haecceity Is rather
exolete in Nebraska.
We have not laughed as heartily in
a long while as we did one day last
week, when Ben. Barrows showed us
Edmunds book, "Pen Sketches of Ne
braska." We hail almost forgotten Edmund
and his book, and, in fact, we never
hail read the thing before. Although
a "sketch" of our honorable self adorns
two of the pages along with the rest of
the Boiarins photograhed by the facile
pen of Edmunds, we felt so cheap to
see what kind of a book he made of it,
that at the time we never read the Au-tochthon-ian
production. Now, after
the lapse of several years, we can af
ford to laugh at ourself and everybody
else, and we mean to make the rest
laugh if we can.
Edmunds came to Lincoln as a lec
turer, we believe, during the session of
'70 '71, and while the Butler Impeach
ment trial was going on. He got a
notion of writing this book, and at
first poposed to give only the members
and officers of that Legislature, and
those connected with the impeach
ment trial, as that would always be a
great Historical fact, and all the par
ticipants, from Sergeant-at-Arms, up,
would forever remain famous.
He went round and got all those fel
lows to subscribe to his book, pay in
their "sponds "give up their li ves to Ed
munds, and then he was not happy.
The next move was to include the
State officers, our State and U. S.
Judges, and someVw of the best and
most jtrominent men in the State.
All right, that went down. When
he had received all these, and he got
'em the book shows that the fellow
turned round and took all the fish that
come to his net, big and little, and put
them in at so much a head.
'Edmunds was part Fanatic, part
Spiritualist, and part Dictionary, and
when the book came out and the prom
inent men saw themselves as Edmunds
saw them, there was wailing aud
gnashing of teeth from Richardson in
the south to Ponca on tte north, and
from the Missouri River, to the Wes
tern edge of the rain-belt. All who had
not paid in advance, refused to pay,
and nearly all failed to send for their
Neurotic portraits by Edmunds. The
books were printed and bound by Maj.
Balcombe of the Republican, and he
seized on them, for pay. He and Ed
munds had it hot and heavy, and the
precious evidences of Edmunds Haec
ceity remained in the Sheriffs hands un
til very lately. We believe Mr. Bal
combe is selling them now at two dol
lars apiece, and they are richly worth
ten dollars, for no comic Almanac ever
published is half as rich and racy read
ing to an old Nebraskan, or a funny
newspaper man.
SOME OF THE POUTRAITS.
Now what would you think of this !
for a nice biography of a man: j
"The mass of Brain occupies the
frontal or intellectual cavity. Broad
between the ears, indicates a degree of
haecceity that insures him against all
encroachments; is rather neurotic for
a man of lymphatic temperament; pre
fers some noetic pursuit to manual la
bor, without a tinge of the groutnal ;
is jocose without being battle and de
spises nugacity in every form. In dis
position he is temperate witli a liberal
degree of jocundity, and is inclined to
the sunny, side of life, a little tingMl
with adraphorous tendencies, but large
perceptive faculties insures accretive
result.
Yet this is just what he says of a
prominent candidate for U. S. Senator
it the present time, and Ben. Barrows
and myself with two Dictionaries.three
Encyclopedias and a "pronouncer"
couldn't find 'em all out.
' Another opens in this style:
"Something of aloiarin; a phvsical
and intellectual autochthon, but not ex
olete by over use."
This portrait, Bill Stout says, was
taken from a rear .view, but when we
come to give Stout's he'll think it was
taken from both rear views.
For a real nice side view picture rec
ommend us to this one of DeForrest
Porter:
"He has a full, active bfain; sup
ports a healthy physical organization.
His intellectual predominates over his
anterior organs, &c &c."
Now, DeForest, just turn and look
at those anteriors, and if the nugacity
of the thing don't strike you well
quit right now.
What imp of Satan could have sug
gested to Edmunds to let this in of
Doc. Miliar:
"As a citizen he is generous, enter
prising and highly respected. As a
writer, oh. Lord! he is lunar-cau3tic at
one time, and Mrs. Winslow's Soothing
Syrup at another; as an editor he is
full of vim, vivacity and newspaper
enterprise; as a iolitici;m he is a com
plete failure, and always kills hisa
vorite man with the same political at
tention, generously rendered, as pro
fessionally bring a Doctor he killed
his first patient among the Pawnees in
the early days of Omaha. For soft
solder and superficial liattery Doc is
immense, for slander phrases, twisting
the King's English, and original West-
ernism, he has no equal ; and for bit
ter, biting, short and savage invective,
he is Incomparable; and opposite for
kind words and good sentiments to a
friend in need, he is unapproachable.
Such, in short, is Doctor Geo. L. Miller,
of the Herald."
There, the Grutnel sticks right out
of that about a foot and the Haecceity
of the Doctor's Neurotic system was
anything but Noetic when he read it.
It is said that profanity was exolete
by over use with him. for a long time.
Everything and everybody, almost,
have a place in Edmund's book.
Preachers, Lawyers, Teachers, PolitT
ticians, Judges, Doctors, and common
folks. Next week we shall give "some
more, for the present onr nugacity
cfaps. " .
(For the IfKflALD.)
LIFE HAS MORE OF GOOD THAN
,,.,.,.-. .. , EVIL. - -
BV ORANOE PEEL.
I have been young, but am no longer so ;
Hare passed the chief meridian, years ago.
And now, I'm going down the western slope ; '
This life, to me, has not mueli left to hope.
But in in the Journeyjthus far traveled o'er,
I oft have heard it said tnat life had more
Of sorrow than of joy ; and more of pain
Than pleasure, more of loss than gain.
As far as I'm concerned, my life has had
It's share of toil and care ; some good, much bad.
In childhood, youtn, and up to middle age,
I had a constant, tireless war to wage
For leave to live. And then, within,
A ceaseless combat with the powers of sin.
And now, life's candle, burning dim and low.
Admonishing that I soon home must go ;
And, to the question : whether joy or grief
Is most abundant, or wh'ch fills the chief
Of our life's space? I might be thought to give
A just response, as I've not long to live.
Life, as a gift, is amply worth receiving.
E'en should a part of it be spent In grieving
O'er time and talent, misapplied and lost ;
For thus is wisdom learn'd at one's own cost.
The good Creator ne'er intended life
To have more bad than good, les peace than
strife.
That would not show his wisdom ; for If death
Should be prefer ed, man sooo could stop his
breath.
And suidde would be a way to shun,
The evils of a life below tlje sun.
No ! Life Is full of good, if we would find It,
And much that's evil, we should never mind It.
Then cultivate the good, the bad avoid ;
The good would thus increase, much bad would
be destroyed.
It is an almost every-day occurrence
to see written on the closed doors of
places of business an announcement
that the circumstance is in conse
quence of domestic bereavement. It
has been left to a German in Roches
ter, New York, to reverse the cause,
and to be the first to indicate, in a hu
morous manner, his delight atjhe mar
riage of his daughter, which he did
thus: "This store i3 closed on account
of some fun in the family." Ex.
The Pawnee Republican says : Gen.
Thayer's election to the United States
Senate is put beyond the peradventure
of a doubt. lie will be elected on the
first ballot.
This should close debate ; but there
are some stubborn papers that proclaim
for Paddock, Atkinson and others. It
is comfortable, however, to be beyond
the "peradventure of doubt." Republican.

ton. Six car loads of coal have leen dona
ted to the grasshopper sufferers by the
Union Coal Mining Co, of Ottuinwa
Iowa.
Moses Stocking, the sheepman of Ne
braska gives his balance sheet for 1873
and '74 to the Lincoln Journal. We
give below a synopsis for the benefit of
any interested in sheep raising.
On the first of July 1873, Mr. Stock
ing owned a flock of 1C64 sheep,vhich
at S3 per head were worth $4,992 00.
The maintenance of this flock for the
year ensuing cost Mr. Stocking: For
160 tons of hay, at 81.50, $240; .1,500
bushels of corn at 50 cents per bushel,
S750; 12 months labor etc, in care ' of
ilock. 8246; losses, 8118; shearing 1652
sheep at 10c each, S165 20; 12 barrels
of salt, 839; various expenses in haul
ing and material, 849 17; making a to
tal of $1,604 37 to be added to the val
ue of the sheep; forming a total capi
tal invested during the year of $6,596.
37. Againt this outlay Mr. Stocking
netted during the year, by the sale of
304 mutton sheepSO 18.75, by 351 lambs
raised, 8702.00, and by the sale of 11,
600 pounds of wool at 30c per pound,
83,480,00, or altogether, $5,100,75.
A wagon went through here not long
since, covered with grasshopper marks
and this refrain.
"Good Bye to Kansas, I bid yon adieu,
II again I should migrate ; it won't be to you.
Nebraska's Just a little bit better
But I want a State that's a little bit -wetter."
: The Burtonian, under head of Deca
tur items, says: One of the most de
structive fires that has ever visited us,
occurred List Saturday, destroying
about two-thirds of the hay on thelxit
tom between Arizona and this place,
and if the rain had not come as it did,
it would have destroyed more hay, and
several houses before it ?pent itself.

LECTURE INSTITUTE.
You musicians ought to be happy
fellows," said II. the other day to a
bandmaster. "Why?" said the leader.
"Because you need never want for mon-
ey; when your, funds run short, you
' have only to put your instrument to
I vour lip, and rai thp wind."
A county Teacher's Institute, to be
called a Lecture Institute, will be '
at Plattsmouth, during the
Christmas Holidays, commencing on
Monday evening, the 28th day of De- j
cember, 1874, to continue for at least

BUSINESS NOT AFFECTED.
The recent depression in business
has not affected the passenger traffic of
the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern
Short Line, as they continue to run six
fast express trains, two more than any
other line between the Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers. This road enjoys
great immunity from accidents, byj
reaso'l of immense expenditures, in the
last two years, of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings in wonderful im
provements, in relaying their line with
new steel and iron rails, on broad, new
ties, in new rolling stock supplied Yviiii
all modern appliances for comfort and
safety, and as another safeguard, em
ploy night and day watchmen to in
spect the road before and after the
passage of each train, to see that every
thing is in order. Conspicuous among
new improvements is the substitution
for ordinary cars, of new reclining
chair coaches, elegantly carpeted and
fitted with dressing rooms for ladies,
gentlemen and families, without any
extra charge. The St. Louis, Kansas
City & Northern and the Kansas City,
St. Joseph & Council Bluffs Railroad,
form the only line running through
Pullman Palace Sleepers between
Omaha and St. Louis. The shortest
line between the West and the East is
over the St. Louis, Kansas City &
Northern Short Line, either through
St. Louis, the great metropolis of over
450,000 inhabitants, or through Chica
go, via the Chicago & Alton Short
Line, over the Louisiana Bridge now
open for passage of through trains.
Ticket Agents of connecting roads sel
ling through tickets to the East, North
or South, will furnish Jtickets by this
excellent line. For map, circulars,

1 he number of men independent in politics is
increasing, and the weekly Sim is their paper
especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no
dictation, contending lor principle, juhI for the
election of the best men. It exposes the cor
luptiou that disgraces the country and threat
ens the overthrow of repubiicau tnstitions. It
has no fear of knave, and seeks no favors from
their supporters.
The markets of every- kind and the fashions
are regularly reported in its columns.
The price of the weekly is one dollar a
year for a sheet of eight pages, and fif-y-six
columns. As this barely pays the expenses of
