It will also be observed that the rates are
aligbtly higher abroad, owing to their having to
pre-pay postage, otherwise they are as low as

foreign papers for little more than the price of
ae good paper singly.

It nl be no disgrace to a Senato
rial candidate from the South Platte
conntry to have invested all he has in
Lincoln, be it $50,000, or less.
The Farmers' Made is very much
improved of late. It begins to be real

make fun of us now and then.
We return thanks to Pleasant Ridge

of officers to-morrow evening. If home

Don't Cunningham worry the Oma
ha llerald though. We always had an
idea Cunningham would worry some
body in this Senatorial fight.
The New York Tribune recently
ent $4,500 of their dollar contribution
fund for grasshopper sufferers to Kan
sas and Nebraska.
A correspondent of the Omaha Bee
thinks that the Grangers were not very
communicative during their conven
tion at Lincoln. Maybe!
We wonder how the Democrats of
this State would take it if Republican
newspapers always spoke of the Demo
cratic legal gentlemen of the State with
a sneer.
Can't the Bee and llerald find anoth
er Plattsmouth witness that can keep
out of jail to swear to some more cor
ruption in the Surveyor Generals' of
fice. The New York Tribune is getting
Up a "dollar" subscription for the grass
hopper folks, which promises to be
very successful, 84,000 having been
raised already.
A little fellow, six years old, iu Or
ange, N. J., sends half his Christmas
money "To help the poor people of
Nebraska, suffering from grasshopper
devastations." Isn't that nice?
We have received the New Years
exlition of the California Spirit of the
Tinted an-i Underwriter's Journal. It
contains twenty pages, and claims to
5e the largest paper ever published
anywhere.
The Herald took the trouble to go
over the new Post Oflice building at
Omaha a few days ago. It is a very
handsomely arranged structure, an or
nament to Omaha, and the State should
be proud of it.
JL correspondent in the Lincoln Jour
nal goes for Bob Doom on the new Co.
business, just let Bob alone now, he's
half a Cass county man yet, and we
won't stand by and see any Cass fellows
abased.
The Herald had the pleasure of
meeting Gen. Brisbin, chief of the aid
distributing department, at Omaha the
other day. We don't quite agree with
the General in regard to giving up the
aid Society now, but he has shown him
self a good friend to Nebraska and we
shall all feel grateful to him forever
and aye.
Hon. Win. B. Porter was present at
the meeting of the executive eommitte
of the aid society last week at Omaha
andgav it as his opinion that the
grange could and would undertake the
distribution of seeds &c, next spring;
but did not think it advisable for the
Grange to take up tlr work of the aid
society which has been well and ably
performed-amUheUon.TT.B's head

MORE FIRE I
Has it not already ben given out
that the Chicago Times will publish an
article attacking the Surveyor Gener
al's office ?
Where does this fire come from?
Who is a somewhat oft-times corres
pondent of tliat incendiary sheet and
a twin brother in politics of the editor
of the "fire in the rear" paper? He
seldom fires at the front, that's a fact.
The Louisiana Legislature assembled
on the 4th inst. A scene of great ex
citement and disorder ensued which
was finally quelled by the Federal
troops, and after the election of a
speaker Gov. Kellogg's message was
raad.
THE GALVESTON EXCURSION.
A eommitte of Gentleman appointed
by the Merchants club of Omaha start
ed for Galveston, Texas, on the 3rd
inst. It's object is to report upon ad
vantages to be derived from a recip
rocity of trade between the Mo. Valley
and the Gulf. Representatives from
the various cities and towns on the
Mo. River are among the number. Dr.
Jno. Black represents Plattsmouth.
Watch Cunninoiiam. The Motto
of the Thayer phalanx to watch and
wade into Cunningham and Dundy.
Omaha llerald.
Yes; watch him and much good may
it do you. We believe our "wall"
eye, that you reminded us of once so
kindly, and so gentlemanly(?), will do
more effective watching on your
schemes, than both j'our handsome
ones, Doctor puff-and-blow.
We understand that the Hon. Sam.
Chapman has under advisement a bill
enlarging the number of Judicial Dis
tricts, which may be done under th
present constitution after 1875. It is
highly important that such a bill pass
the Legislature this winter, in case the
people of the State should not ratify a
new constitution, one of our sorest
wants would then be provided for, con
stitution or no constitution.
toThe little concern down at Platts
mouth" never had an idea that Gen'l.
Cunningham would be so strong a can
didate for U. B. Senator as to worry
the two great lights of Omaha newspa
perdom into such a sweat.
Taking Gen. C's own statement that
he was not a candidate we have never
given him a thought heretofore, but if
the Bee and Herald, are bound to make
him a candidate, Cass County never
goes back on a friend, you can put that
in your pipe and smoke it.
We have hitherto refused to enter
tain any charges against the Bee's pre
ferred candidate for U. S. Senator, Gen.
Thayer, but when it begins to charge
corruption on the best men we have in
Plattsmouth, and follow at the tail of
the Omaha llerald, in sneering at Gen.
Cunningham and Judge Dundy.we may
have to send up to the Watch man offic e
for their credit mobilier reports,and look
up the bona-flde property holders, and
true residents of the South Platte
Country.
WHO PAYS!
The Omaha Daily Bee of the 2d inst.
contains an article in the form of a
communication, signed "J. L. M", pur
porting to have been written in Platts
moutli, wherein it is represented that
a programme has been adopted to elect
Cunningham U. S. Senator, and "that a
ring has been formed by parties inter
ested in this programme to raise a 'cor
rupt ion fund' of 620,000 to carry out
this plot." The writer assert that
"great indignation is felt here among
respectable people about this unblush
ing combination," &c. It is unneces
sary to state that the Bee article is
wholly false. Such charge hag never
been heard of, and, we venture the as
sertion, never thought of in Platts
mouth. It is not believed in Platts
mouth that the article was written
here or by any one living here, but
that it had its origin in the Bee office,
and was written or dictated by Rose
water himself. The article in question
and the Bes editorial, btsed thereon, is
a personal onslaught, not only upon
Gen. Cunningham, but upon James R.
Porter, John Fitzgerald and John R.
Clark ; all old residents of Plattsmouth,
substantial business men with reputa
tions for integrity that cannot be tar
nished by any calumnies uttered by
the personal organ of any Senatorial
or political aspirant. This attack is
made for purely -political purposes.
these men are opposed, or supposed to
be opposed to the Bee's preferred can
didate for U. S. Senator; hwnce the
warfare upon them.
Gen. Thayer is credited with having
the power to influence the course of
the Bee upon matters political, and es
pecially Senatorial. He is represented
by those professing to be well informed
upon the subject as claiming to have
restrained the Bee upon sundry occa
sions from making personal attacks
upon particular individuals. Under
these circumstances he cannot but be
regarded as consenting to if not inspir
ing its policy.
This is, and will be, regarded as an
attack upon Cues county through the
persons of some of her citizens, made
in the interest of Gen. Thayer. We
can afford it if the Bee and General
Thayer can.
In view of the former uncalled for
assaults of the Bee upon Jno. R. Clark
(then of Cass county) for "presuming"
to be a candidate for State Treasurer
before the late Republican State con
vention together with this attack we
can look upon the present course of
the Bee only as a premeditated attack
upon Cass county as well as her public
men.
So far as -Gen. Cunningham is con
cerned he is an open and earnest sup
porter of Judge Dundy for the posi
tion of U. S. Senator. He has never
consented to the use of his own name
for that position although maijy of our
citizens have urged him to become a
candidate. Try this method of war
fare on, Mr. Bee, and well soon find

TlCIIENOR IlOUSfi, )
Thursday morning, Jan. 7, 75. )
The pot is boiling here, hot enough.
I don't think I ever saw the "Tiche
nor" ful'er nor more politicians on
hand, eager and fierce for the fray. Gen.
Thayer is quietly moving about, Gov.
Paddock steps jauntily up and down
the stairs, while no one, as yet, has
een Judge Dundy. Of minor candi
dates, there are several, but time will
not permit me to name them here.
The trouble to day was over the or
ganization. N. K. Griggs of Gage, and
Guy Barton, of Lincoln county, are
the main candidates for President of
th Senate. E. S. Toole will probably
be made Speaker of the House without
opposition.
D. II. Wheeler and Thomas Wolfe
are candidates for Secretary of the
fcenate, and Mather and ninety-five
others are up for Ass't Secretary and
Clerkships. The grasshopper sufferers
turn out strong on Clerkships and will
gobble most of the minor ones I pre
sume. As will be seen by telegram both
Houses organized at 2 p. m. to-day, and
once more a Legisltture in Nebraska
is in working order. With a Senator
to elect, a Governor to overhaul (as
some say) the Capitol to be moved and
a dozen county changes asked for, it is
likely to be more than lively soon.

POSTAGE : 1 P0S f AGE 1 1
Please remember that we have to
pay postage now and that all papers
going outside of the county must be
prepaid. We are sending some papers
to friends aud others have been delin
quent a long time. We have leen wil
ling to furnish p-ipers, but cannot pay
postage for any one.
To all those dunned we must say
that it is the only way to find out how
our books stand and no reasonable per
son ought to object. We are getting
no returns scarcely from our western
subscribers and we respctfully ask all
here and in the county to forward us
the money due. We are carrying all
the load we are able as a grasshop

THE TEACHERS' INSTITUTE.
Nebraska Lawyers Before the Supreme
Court.
The following is from the Seward
Reporter : '
Jinljje Brings, Hons. J. C. Cowin. N. K.Grijcjfs
and Sam M. Chapman, are re mi, ted to have ac
quitted themselves with credit in the railroad
case before the United States Supreme Court.
Judge Briggs and Mr. John C. Cowin
are able lawyers, and. we have no doubt
did acquit themselves with credit in
the railroad tax cases before the Su
preme Court, but with all deference,
did not the Reporter take the starch
out of the compliment paid such law
yers as Briggs and Cowin: by compar
ing their names with Messrs. Griggs
aud Chapman? These m-n may be
able in their calling, but they have yet
to acquire State reputations like those
with which they are placed on an
equlity. Omaha llerald.
There's Omaha impudence and ego
tism combined, read it gentleman, all
over the State and tally one for Doug
las. If the democrats of this county
or of Seward like to have their princi
pal democratic paper herald such stuff
to the people they can stand it.
For our part we think both Messrs.
Chapman and Griggs will compare
very favorably with any lawyers in
Omaha of the same age and practice in
law.
STATE ITE3IS.
Weaver, landlord of the Grand Cen
tral at Nebraska City, left a few days
since for parts unknown ; leaving, his
creditors to mourn his loss.
One Peter McCormick, at work on
the cistern at Lincoln, injured his
spinal cord by a fall.
Rev. O. T. Conger, Baptist Clergy
man, of Lincoln goes to Omaha.
Mr. Geo. Hall, Editor of the Burton

loss of a son. We extend to him our
hearty sympathy.

The teachers' institute, held In Platts
mouth during holiday week, was very
well attended. A number of Profes
sors from abroad were present and
gave us a course of instructive and in
teresting lectures.
Among those present w norieed
Chancellor Benton, Prof. Thompson,
and Dr. Truman. Prof. Wilbur, State
Geologist of Illinois, gave us a lecture
on the coal fields of Nebraska. The
attendance from town was not as good
as we would have liked, but the cold
weather and that big hill must be taken
into account, as also the multiplicity
of other engagements during the holi
days. On Tuesday, the principal day, ad
dresses were made by Prof. Thompson,
Dr. Freeman, principal of the State
Normal School, and by Chancellor Ben
ton, who resumed his lecture in the
evening. Prof. Thompson gave some
most excellent hints upon the method
of illustrating by practical experiments
the lessons taught the pupils. Dr.
Freeman's remarks upon the influence
wielded by the teacher ought to have
gone deep into the hearts of every one
present, for they were words of truth.
Chancellor Benton's lecture was on the
methods of teaching the English lan
guage, and without any preamble he
went to the heart of the matter, show
ing them how they should begin with
the youngest pupil and teach them the
practical use of thel mguage, not alone
the long rules and definitions contained
in the grammar. He gave a few sim
ple rules and directions which we no
ticed were seized with avidity by the
teachers present. His method enforced
the constant drilling of the scholars in
writing; first words, then sentences,
then short descriptions, and so leading
them by a gradual process to do easily
what formerly was regarded by pupils
as the hardest task assigned them, to
express in writing their own ideas on
any subject. .
On Wednesday morning, Prof.
Thompson lectured on the best meth
od of teaching Arithmetic. His man
ner of addressing his audience is pleas
ant, and conversational, and he seems
thoroughly at home in the subjects he
discusses.
Prof. Bailey afterwards gave some
remarks on Philosophical subjects, and
in the evening Profs. Thompson and
Bailey showed some very interesting
experiments in Philosophy and Chem
istry, with instructive discourses on
those subjects.
For the valuable services so cheerful
ly rendered by these gentlemen, those
benefitted cannot be too grateful, and
the spirit with which they did all in
their power to render the Institute in
structive and interesting, was most
commendable, and seemed most fully
appreciated by the teachers.
Prof. Wise's labors to make th In
stitute a success, were unremitting, and
he should not be forgotten in accord
ing honor to whom honor is due.

INTEMPERANCE A DISEASE.
In the wide field of humanity, hov
ering as in a vision, we may discern
amid the sweet flowers the trail of a
deadly serpent which spares neither
rank, age, or sex. Its ravages are more
deadly than the Egyptian plague that
slew the first born sons, or any eastern
pestilence.
Let us now trace the ravages of this
deadly plague. Among the sad scenes
of this life there are none half so sad
a3 the poor degraded sot, reduced, in
his own estimation, and in the estima
tion of others, intellectually, physical
ly and morally, a slave to his own ap
petite, the result of a voluntary act,
the oft repetition of which has led him
to ruin, lie sacrifices upon the altar
of intemperance all that can make life
lovely and beautiful lost to his own
shauie, bound to the rock of his own
vices, and lashed by the on-rolling
waves of despair. The irresistable
craving and morbid thirst is owing to
a depraved and peculiar state of the
net vons system. The thirst for intox
icating drink is a disease, known as
thirst-madness, wine-madness, whisky
madness, beer-madnesf, or madness for
strong drink. In some persons this
disease is periodic, and in others it is
chronic. Persons used to drink often
abstain for weeks and even months
from the use of all stimulants, and not
unfrequently have a loathsome disgust
for them; but we see irresistably, ap
parantly, by degrees, a depressed and
uneasy feeling, at last he begins to
drink, he awakes from a restless sleep
and seeks again to quench his thirst,
the madness for strong drink has come
over him, soon a state of apathy and
depression follows; he now begins to
feel the keenest remorse, and sorrow
fully regrets ever yielding to this mal
ady he promises that the future shall
be more glorious to him. Then follows
a vigorous and closer application to
business, apparently with a determined
resolve never to yield to the fiery
tempter again; but, sooner or later,
the paroxysm returns and the same
sad scene is re-enacted, anil unless the
disease is checked he is a victim to the
disease of intemperance, and at this
period he is laboring under an over
whelming desire for strong drink. He
disregards every comfort, bringing
himself and his family to misery and
want to gratify his insane madness for
strong drink. He becomes morose and
disheartened with himself and all th tt
is around him. The chains of madness
are riveted upon him, incapable of self
control, the desire for strong drink
must !e satisfied. When the craving
begins he is incapable of exertion, eith
er of mind or lody, until the morbid
craving is gratified. Early morn comes
he drinks the desire still increasing,
he drinks until intoxication is produced.
He is no longer capable of any self
control. He is regardless of his health
or or his property, and in this condi
tion often become the prey of design
ing men; and in this condition he is
dangerous to himself and to others.

T"b Hi Ad Impendent on the Body.
Hypochondria is a far more common rnald'dy
than Is generally supposed. It has Its degrees,
it is true, progressing from mental depression,
or the "blues," to mental hallucination: but
they are all forms of the same malady. It is a
significant fact that this mental ailment is ln
TariaMy accompanied by dyspepsia and ner
vousness, and the fact that It readily yields to
the alternative action of llostette.-N Stomach
B:tt;-s, wb ieh are peculiarly ailnpted to the
eradication of indigestion nl nervous debility,
prores that it originate in those com plaints.
It will thus be seVn how dependent the mind is
upon the body for the preerTatin of aclieerfut
equilibrium, aud also how readily the causes of
mental gloom laay be removed. There is no
surer or pleasunter way of shaking off a fit of
depression brought on by indigestion, than by
