Thk Nebraska Democratic State Con vention was held on the l'.Hh, and chose delegates to the National Convention. They were uniastructed. Among the res olutions adopted was one demanding a re turn to specie pavment ns soon a possible.

Thk Chicago Intrr-Qwin of a recent date publishes telegrams from some 20l points in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania, where the bulk of the winter wheat is grown, sho,vingthe condition of the growing crops of winter wheat and fruit. According to these dis patches Illinois promises well. In a few counties the wheat threatens to prove a failure, but by far the majority of the reports nre encouraging. Peach's were injured by the cold spe'l dar ing March, but apples ami near ly all varieties of small fruit look well and promise an abundant yield. Michigan and Pennsylvania report excel lent prospects for all kinds of crops. In some parts of the latter State peaches and early apples have suffered, but not se riousty. Michigan, however, expects a plentiful yield all round. In Indiana the winter and spring have proved unfavor able lor winter wheat and peaches, but apples and small fruits appear to be thriving. Reports from Ohio are to t lie elFeel that wheat is badly damaged, ex cept in well-drained bottom lands, and a reduced yield of all kinds of fruit is ex pected. Cremation a Failure in England. VYe have not heard much latel' of the doings of the cremationists. By the way, the late Lady Amberley was an ardent ad vocate of cremation, and neither she nor her husband was committed to the earth with " Christian burial." But the Lon don Cremation Society, which was estab lished two year ago, has just issued its first report. The report recapitulates the efforts made by the Council to promote the object of the Society. Tticse efforts have not I een very successful. They first fought to ascertain whether cremation was legal, and the counsel whom the' consulted decided that " the performance of the process of cremation was ptrfectly legal, provided that it involved no conse quence which could be construed by any one as a nuisance." It then ln-came nec essary to devise a machine by which a bod 3- could be burned without causing a nui.-ance, and ' Dr. Siemen's patent re generative gas furnace" was selected as the apparatus by which this desideratum comd be sec ured. But now caane a hi tch the sum of $5,fXX) was n ce-sory lor ob taining suitable ground for the experi ment, and it could not be raised. Finally, the Colney Hatch Cemetery Company came to tlie rescue and offeretl to sell a part of their ground at a low figure for the purpose. The offer was accepted, and the machine was about to le put up when some one remembered that the ground had been consecrated, an t f.iat the Company might get iuto trouble if they allowed it to be used for uncons crated rites. They wrote to the Bishopot Rochester, in whose diocese ti e cemetery is situateJ, but he replied: "I -jannot consent to the intro duction of such a mode of disposing of the todies of the dead." This ended the matter, and the Society now proposes to dissolve it-e't acd return all the subscrip tions that have hecn sr nt to it. l&ndon Cor. -V. '. Graphic, EPITOME OF THE WEEK.

Who Should Kow First I Who has not heard ladies express mild surprise because some man who had been presented to them had not bowed to them on meeting them on the street, at the theater, or in the drawing-room? If you a-sk them, "Did 3-011 recognize him?" they will be apt to reply, "Oh, no; of course not. He should have spoken first." Being reminded of the well-defined eti quette bearing on the subject, they are likely to add: "I know that very well ; but no woman wants totake the initiative. Men should do that; it's their business; it doesn't bt long to us. No one expects us to make ourselves so bold."' The truth is, the majority ot women are naturally so accustomed to man paying court to them, to his making the first ad vance in everything, that they can't find it in their sexual sensitiveness, in their severely conventional selves, to obey a mandate they originally issued, and still insist on perpetuating. Not one woman in lu.taai jias any iauu. 10 lino wiiu me rule: in fact, we have never known a woman to object to it. Nevertheless, she seldom follows it in her own case.

A tin lxtx, said to contain the annual report of the School Board, with the list of teachers and pupils, names of liorough and county officers, was presented to the Directois, to be preserved by them and to be transmit ted to their successors, and they in turn to tbcirs. keeping it carefully in Ihe Sc hool Board until the ye ar t!7?i, at which time it may be opened by their orlicialritr Di rectors The box was received by Andrew Apple, Secretary of the board, in a few appropriate; rematks, an 1 closing with the historical words of Jen. D.x: " If any man opens this box before the year 11)71, shoot him on the spot.' " Somebody introduced a resolution in Selec t Council, yes erday, requiring loco motives passing through the park to use "noise absorbers." It 'S a happy thought, and after it has been adopted on the rail roads, we shall apply for a pereu.ptory mandamus to extend the use of the appa ratus to hand-organs, crying babies and long-w inded orators. What a blessing it will be when we get all the noise ab sorbed. We do not know what the form sort of self-juslifu tion, " Supposing j ot-the proposed machine is. Persons and 1 should speak to a man, on meeting him after an introduction, and he should not remetnlier me! How awk ward I should appear; how overwhelmed I should be with shame to observe that he did not recognize me. 1 can't a fiord 10 place myself in a position to seem to be cut by any man." If any numlter of women feel thus, the point" of etiquette should be changed in order to save their sensibilities. In truth, however, the ob jection is not well made. There is not the smallest danger that any man, pre suming him. of necessity, to be a gentle man, at least in respect to his observing the ordinary forms of courtesy, would refuse or hesitate to return the acknowl edgment of a woman, even though he might not have the remotest recollection of ever having seen her betor, or though he were convinced she had confounded him with somebody else. And the fact that he had been recognized by a woman would be the strongest presumptive ev idence that he had tteen present d to her. Men are not likely either to forget their leminine acquaintances, or to mistake Mrs. Thompson for Mrs. Robinson, or Miss Blank for Miss Dash. Applcton' Journal.

PhiUtdtiphia Coin ing Bulletin. Starting Corn. out fell The water in the Worcester reservoir was only keeping up with the spirit of the age in seeking a larger field of usefulness. Yen: can do it on a small scale, for early sweet corn for the table, by plant ing it in inveited sods and putting it tin der glass till it is safe to transplant. Cut the sods into squares, so as not to disturb the roots in transplanting. Any one can easily start thirty or forty hills in this way with only a trifling cost, and have this luxury on the table by the first of July or thereabouts. On a larger scale for field culture you can protect the corn from the grub or from the depredations of birds by giving the seed a coating of tar and rolling it in plaster or ashes. We ha'-e tried this method on a considerable scale v i- li perfect success. You can soak the seed over night in clear water and then immerse in tar water on the morn ing ot planting, rolling in ashes for the sake of ensy handling; or you can simply immerse Ihe seed dry in tar, and roll in lime. The tar, of course, is to be heated so as to n nder it liquid. This prepara tion may re tard the germ a little, but it is a sure pro'tction against grubs and in sects. We do not know that there is any other essential benefit. lfasaachuetts Pltivghmtii. Fast horses Tliose that arc safely secured. DOM riJIKi). Arrival of the ICmpenir of Hrnzil 11 1 New York. Thk New York papers of the ldli give lengthy accounts ed' the reception at that port of Pom Pedro, the Brazilian Km peror, from which we take- the folio-.vieg : The Brazilian steamer Hevelius, having on Itoaril the Emperor limn IV.! ro aii't the Empress, arrived in New York on the loth. Secretaries Fish, Kobe-son and Tall received the royal patty 011 behalf of the President, going down tl e bay in the sloop-of-war Alert to meet "the steamer. The Emperor reevivcd the dep utation in the gangway, surrounded by the oilier pa-seiq el s til' the .-ieainer. A fte-r a formal introduction, Seciet.iry Fish de livered a short address of welcome, as fob lows: "The President of the I'nited States has de puted the Secretary of War, the Secre tary of State and the Secretary of the Navy, accompanied by the Vie-e-Ad-miral of Ihe Navy ami a Major-General of the Army, to congratulate Your Ma j esty upon your arrival on our she ires and upon the; safe termination of your voyage, and to tender his wch onie, and that of the people of the I'nited States, 011 the occa sion of your visit te this country. lie an ticipates with pleasure a pe-r.-onal inte r view with your Majesty as so ui as it may suit your convenience." The Emperor simply expressed ,js thanks for the reception given, and seemed more disposed to enter into a friendly con versation with the members of the "party than to make any kind ofoflicial re sponse. He asked for Gen. Sherman, whom he said he elesired very muc h to see, and w:ii informed that he was unavoidably de tainetl by his military duties in t'ie West. "Ah'." remarked the Emperor, "Gen. Hancock, too; his name is well known in connection with the war." His Majesty then shook hands warmly with (Jen. Hun cock, and subse-que-ntly the members of th'; deputation were presented to the Em press in the mam saloon. L pon returning to the deck Secretary Fish informed the Emperor that the sloop-of-war Alert was in waiting to convey him and the royal party to the city, but the Emperor politely declined the invitation, and reiterated, in a pleasant way, his senti ments in regard to a public- clcmciisfra tion, .stating that it was his desire to lie regarded only in the light of a private individual, and expressing his warmest thanks for the kind leeling which prompted the ollR-iul reception. The Cabinet Ministers. Vice-Admiral Kowan, Maj.-Ocii. Hancock, and the other officers of the party, then went 011 board the steam-tug in w:ii ing, and were taken off to the Alert, which piocecdcd to the Jliittery amid ringing salutes. The Emperor chatted plea-antly wilh those on board, ami seemed to create the most fa vorable impression by his uppareut gen tleness and unost' iitat :011s manner. He inquired particularly a'loutthe xct Long fellow, and spoke in affectionate terms of the memory of Prof. Agassiz, with whom he was personally ncepiainted, and who had formerly visiied him in Brazil. Shortly before three o'clock the Hevelius steamed slowly up to the city, and, after rounding the Battery, procte-ded to her wharf in Brocjk lyn. In a very short time the Imperial party were ready to move. The Kmpress then appeared and toeik an aH'ce'tionate leave of the luetics who had jott rue.' eel with her. A carriage, with a team of white horses, was soon occupied by the illustrious trav elers, who at once pre::ecded across Ful ton ferry and up Broadway to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. In an interview with a New York Jcr aid reporter the Emp'-ror gave his pro gramme as follows: I will go from New York to San Francisco by the Pacific Kail way and ieturn overland. It is my wish to visit all the States. I will go to California before the opening of the Phil adelphia Exhibition but will return in time to be pre-sent at the ceremony of the opening. My object is to pass over the plains bt fore the hot weather comes. I will stay in San Francisco five days to visit all the points of interest in the city. On my return 1 will visit Niagara, Mon treal and the Mississippi. I want to see the chief centers of industry, to learn something that may be of use to my country when I return. I will leave New Y'etrk on the 12th of July by the Cuuard line for England, where I will stay some time. Upon learning of the arrival of the Em peror in New York, President tirant im mediately caused the following elispat'di to lie forwarded, which was delivered to tle Emperor early Saturday evening, be fore he went t the theater Washington.

There is a modesty that exalts, and a sensibility that is manly; but pre. tense to either is simply ridiculous. A man who has been in the rebel army is not expect ed t have the elelicate moral organization of the lady who never told her love, but let concealment prey like a worm upon the damask of her cheek. If the cheek of the Confederate blanched at his prospect on the day of Appamattox, it soon came back to its normal color when he fouml himself safe. He has sine-e girded up his loins to the performance of an amount of disloyal self assertion tnat has astonished the people. Ye-t it would seem that w hat is ti direct outgrowth of his purticipatiein in rebellion, which he has no design to conceal, may coexist with a elesire that others should never utter the word or speak of the great crime of whic h he has been guilty. That the rebellion convulsed the coun try from one end to the othe-r, and that we are suffering from it now, cannot be denied. That something has occurred which has severely stricken the Nation, and which has greatly outraged public sentiment, is obvious also; and that the people aie greatly moved at the turn af fairs have taken iu the South is equally well known. '1 be idea that t he-re can or ought to be any delicacy in referring to the rebellion and to the disasters resulting to commerce from it is preposterous. With the Confede-nte squad in the halls ot Congress no such restraint is practicable. The Confederate members of Itoth houses have actually gained access to their seats bv their known sympathy wilh the; rebellion and by appealing for support to me n ot the same views at their homes. Aud the constant ami exasper ating reference made by them to the rebel lion and to the lost cause keeps the South in hot water, anil prevents its partaking of the general lienefits or progress and prosperity. It really holds the States in the clutch of the Southern Democracy in such a condition ot disturbance that the fruits of emancipation are made to wither. and a free South, after all the bloodshe-d j of the war, is a fiction. The reign of sla ve ry lias not ceased; the freedom con ferreil ujhiii the colored man, wilh citizen ship, is not the blessing which freemen in the North enjoy; aud the sentiments ivowed by the Confederate Democracy become weapons of offense against the exercise of the rights of citizens, both white- and black, who are bv:t! ti do country bce-au.-e liny an- Ke -publi. ;,ns.
