MacJIcrphy, S;c'y. Owing to sickness Mr. Gough will hot be able to fill his 'lecture engage ments this winter. Bro. Beecher is still expected ia Omaha in February. tiTemveekly Inter Ocean will be furnished to agents at $2.30 per copy; for every twenty names sent, one copy free, and will club with the Herald at 64 for both. We don't want our Agricultural friends to forget about the Fair Ground busineas. Something ought to be done about the society, either make it a joint Stock Company, re-lease for a long term the present ground, or definitely settle on some permanent place for our Fairs. the Omaha & Wahoo R. R. is about done the last rail is down. It was built in 51 days, ia ID mile3 long, a bridge 2330 feet long over the Flatte throwed in, all in les3 than two months. An excursion train will run on New Year's day from Omaha to Wahoo. It is a bright new year for our Saunders county and Wahoo neighbors. A. most astonishing and brilliant meteor crossed the Heavens in this vi cinity on the 21st. It was represented as looking as large as the moon and its trail was several degrees in length. Further east they represent it as lumi nous in the extreme and with a tail 20 degrees in length. It was seen far north in Wisconsin and finally disap peared to the N. E. By some omission in our revised list of members of the new legislature we left the 50th district out in the cold and never told who was the foitunate man there. We'll take him into the bosom of the Herald now, seeing it's Christmas time and his first tiame is Sam. Barker, and they'll find him a whole team and cross dog under the wagon too, if they wake him cp this winter at Lincoln. Hon. J. W. Barnes, now of Utah, left the Herald some very fine speci mens of the precious ores of that re gion. Mr. B. is at Beaver, and thinks J the mineral resources of that country are yet undeveloped. We cannot tell you all the lodes and claims .an 1 kinds of ores, not being one of those fortu nate or unfortunate fellows known throughout the west as an "old miner." but any one can see the specimens at the Herald office. Our political outlool&doeS not seem t) clear up a great deal as far as how the presidential vote shall bo counted. The Oregon case prose:: t3 such features that it is difficult to predict what the course of the President of the Senate may take in regard to his action. The reports of the committees now in the South are looked for with much inter est by all parties, as it is hoped they may throw some light on the elections there that will be convincing one way or the other, aud result in some action that the tair men of both sides can unite on. The war talk grows weaker and weaker now as the Southern dem ocrats speak more and more plainly their mind, that if war comes it must j come from the North, and that North ern democrats must lead the way. ELECTING THE PRESIDENT. Among the many plans for electing a President the following ha3 been proposed by an Iowa man: Let a high court be organized, to be composed of the Chief J ustice of the United States, the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and the Chief Jus tice of each of the several State courts of the Union. The whole question to be submitted to this court, which shall meet at Washington and determine all questions which may arise under the law; and finally who of those voted for shall be President. Let the Senate and House appoint a committee of three each to prepare and present the ease to the r:ourt. I have no idea how this court would incline, but I believe the whole nation would be satisfied with the decision of gueh a tribunal. This plan would sat isfy that class of persons who desire to retain the power of the government iu the States, and would avoid many other objections which could be mud to a submission to any other court. This, too, would sustain the majesty of the law, which is our only hope,and would be evidence of the vigor ef our system, which is able to accommodate itself to emergencies, whlla it main tains intact all our machinery of jrov lneut. Yours truly, George F. Boltlto?t. . Tweuty-three years ago last Friday, Senator Dodge, of Iowa, submitted a bill in'congress to organize the ttrri lory of Nebraska. CITE US A LIFT. We would like to remind our delin quent subscribers that the first of Jan uary is here, and we want to settle tup with all those who have kindly trusted us during the year. - In order to do so we must insist on payment from those who owe us. The merchants and oth ers have always been very generous to the Herald in the way of credits, but the way to keep them so is to pay them promptly, and we want to do that, and must do it now, so give us a lift all who can. Christmas has come and gone, and the Herald w ishes all its readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, on this the Centennial holiday time of the American Itepublic, hoping for the sake of good government, the happiness and prosperity of mankind, and the welfare of J, the down trodden and oppressed that these free institu tions under which we live may survive the greed of politicians, the hate and rancor of party strife, and the imbecil ity of ignorant men in office, and that many returns of Christmas and New Years under a great Republic may come and go, and yet the American people may increase, assemilatea nd perpetuate real honest, trua Republi can freedom of mind, soul, body, and government. Next Tuesday the new Legislature of this state meets at Lincoln. It will be composed of 114 members, 84 in the House and 30 in the Senate. This is a much larger body than Nebraska has ever had in a Legislature before. We stall have a chance to tell by practical experiease whether a largo representa tion is really an advantage in. the paw ing of laws. As a rule we make too many laws by half, and then spend our time in trying to break half of those we have made; at least the lawyers do. If, as usual, each member thinks he must introduce and have passed at least one bill we shall get about double the number usually p:sed. Then some fellows are full of bills, (like La master's committees,) bills coming in and bills going out, and gat through more than their average. Very few are troubled with any "im pediment" about introducing bills, and on the principle of "you tickle me and I'll tickle you" too many are passed each winter. Our laws are a conf U3ed mass of con tradictions, and if a really good committee were appointed to go through them, literally go through them, and expunge about three-fourths and amend the rest so as to be consis tent it would be a blessing. Then we have a U. S. Senator to elect, and a new Constitution to warp into shape, so the new "Honorables" will find their hands pretty full, and should have their heads full of useful lore for the benefit of the people CHRISTMAS PUZZLE. The IIerald readers are requested to cipher this out during the holidays: " -bi b ..s. ..

II. Odell and J. C. Cart w right, Republican electors, passed through to Washington and were interviewed by the Republican as follows: They were accompanied by J. W. Dolph, Esq., a prominent lawyer of Portland, and a former law-partner of U. S. Senator Mitchell ; JJen Simpson, surveyor General of the State; G. A. Steele, chairman of the republican State central committee, and S. F. Chad wick, Secretary of State. Mr. Odell is the messenger who is carrying the three elertoral votes of Oregwn to the President of the United States Sen ate for Hayes fc Wheeler. Messrs. Watts and Cartwright have been shd poened, to appear and testify befor the senate committee on privileges and elections. Mr. Dolph accompanies the party as legal adviser. They say that the feeling in Oregon is very bitter against Governor Grover. The indignation meeting where he was burned in effigy, was held in the larg est hall in the city, and hundreds of people were unable to obtain admis sion. A more respectable political meeting was never before held m the city of Portland. The immense indig nation meeting held in Salem was an impromptu affair, and was all the more noticeable on that account. Another very largely attended meeting of the same character was held at Roseburg. The people of Oregon believe that the three electoral votes of the state should be counted for Hayes and Wheeler. The majorities for" the re publican electors over the highest vote given for a democratic elector, were as follows: Cartwright, 1,057; Odell, 1.040; Watts, 1,049. Even the Shaker are breaking away from their adhesion to old custoraa. Many of the men openly favor boards, and the women bIiow a disposition to modify their primness of dre?3. The Socialist says that they ere likely soon to (?ive up most cf thoir oddition, but not their cardinal principles of celibacy andcommuaism of property. At a public dinner recently given by the Anthropological Sucipty of Pari, a paper was circidatod, the signers of which pledge themselves to bequeath their brains to the society for inspection and direction.

Dear Herald: Our Centennial Christmas has come and gone and a very pleasant one it has lieen. We had a Christmas Tree at the Brick School house, which was a grand success, and by t he way, we would say by the looks of the "Tree" that the folks here have not been very badly "grasshoppercd". The exercises were opeaed with pray er, then followed an appropriate song by the choir, after which Mr. Camel the "School Teacher was called upon to give an oration; which he did in a very able manner. Beginning with the origin of Christmas, which he denned as a church as well as a national holi day, which we observe and celebrate as the nativity of Christ, but which we are led to believe by mi:iy proofs, did not fall on the 23th of December, this being the rainy season in Judea. The first reliable account we have of thi3 festival is in the reign of the Emperor Commodus. ISO 192, A. D. And at this time there buing so much heathen ism and idolatry the church instituted among other things the "Christmas Tree." Which he followed down scop by step until the present time. He gave a brief history of the tree we had. A song was sung by the whole Sun day School. And next came the little folks turn to speak, which w;is good. Then came old "Santa Claus" covered with snow, aud his .bells jingl'ng when he began to distribute the pres ents by stripping the tree of its rich foliage. Thi3 being done a song was sung which closed the exercises. "We" went home singing: Ever Joy at Christmas time, I always hope to eee ; Mary had a little lamb. As white a it could be. More anon, Respectfully, Don Rueful. TnREE Groves, Cass Co., ) Neb., Dec. 2Gth, 18TG. ) Friend Herald: I would like to give your readers a description of our Christmas tree, but I am so lost in wonderment and admiration whenev er my thought! revert to it, that I am not capable of doing it justice. I shall, however giv9 a pen outline of the af fair, which I know will bs acceptable, I intend dwelling principally on the musical part, though to begin with our country Pedagogue opened the enter tainment with quite a lengthy speech, which was delivered with such elegance and ease as to plainly show the man had long gained notoriety as aa orator, and was pose3Sed of deep and profound learning. Now for the music. The voi ces were arranged as follows : Miss Chalfaunt, 1st soprano, also or ganist, Miss R. Young, 2d soprano, Miss J. Young. 1st alto, Miss "E. Oldham, 2d alto, Mr. Jerry Greyham, Basso Secondo, Mr. Ambrose Campbell, the orator, Basso Primo. There were only a few singers, still the voices blended so beautifully to gether that it reflected great credit up n the performers, and not only upon the performers, but upon the county that contained persons of such immense musical knowledge. The closing piece was entitled "Good Night," by. Doni zetti. It was certainly rendered with the most exquisite dynamics. The me lodious voices of the singers, and the deep magniflcent tones of the organ made an impression upon every one present. To bo a fine musician one must have a broad education. To judge the performers by ther exqui site musical attainments one would be under the impression that they were possessed of immense erudition. Very truly yours, Louie DsIIakdo. THE MARKETS.

Eclectic Magazine OF FOREIGN LITERATURE, THIRTY-THIRD YEAS. The Eclectic reprints from all the forclen Quarterlies, Keviews, Magazines, and Journals, their choicest contents including Essays, Scien tific Tapers. Biographical Sketches, Reminiscen ces of 'travel and Adventure. Tales, Stories and l'oems. The lielit of selection is very large, and it is believed that the Eclectic presents a greater varictv and higher standard of literature than any periodical can hope to do that depends ex clusively upon home talent. A knowledge of the current literature of oth er countries is indispensable to all who would keep pace with the progress of the human mind ; and the txlfctic offers the best, and. indeed, the on) v opportunity for obtaining this knowledge within a reasonable compass, and ut a moder ate price. Among the writers represented in recent num bers of the Eclectic are : The lit. Hon. W. E. Gladstone. James Anthony Froude. Matthew Arnold. Charles Kingslcy, Robert Buehanan, Geo. McDonald. John Kuskin. Alfred Tenny son. Thomas Hughes, William Black. Mrs. Oli pbant. Thos. Hardy. William Morris, Miss Thackeray, Mrs. Ab-xander, I'rofs. Huxley and Tyndall. Richard 1'ioctor. J5. A., l'rol. Owen, Dr W. J5. Carpenter. Max Mullcr. J. .Norman Lockver. Herbert Spencer, and others equally eminent. Itt-sides the regulai articles in the body of the magazine, there are four original Kditorial Departments : Literary Notices. For eign Literary Notes, science aud Art, and Va rieties. With regard to the character of the .selection!, the aim of the Eclectic is to be instructive, with out being dull, and entertaining without !eing trivial. While each nuuibercontains something to interest every member of the family circle, it addresses i I se if particularly to that great body of intelligent readers who seek profit as well as amusement in solid and hcalthlul literature. Besides the 128 pages of reading matter, eacn number of the magazine contains a l'nie SI eel Engraving usually a portrait executed In the most artistic manner. Tkhms.
