The Osoeela Record Edited by Mrs.

This year Richardson County elects
all but two republicans, on her county

Judge Pound on Deck, Billy Wells in

The Fremont Herald says that Mock

Cuming Co., is the only man they ever
saw ,vno could euttalk a woman and
a lightning rod man combined. Good
man too, Mackett.
It is singular that where White and
DeLeMatyr made their happiest "and
most promising speeches in Saunders
County, there the republicans polled
their strongest vote. There must be
something encouraging in this.
The North Platte Republican has
au Eagle at the head of the column,
(over election news) with "lie Soars"
and then: -To Tilden and Robinson"
followed by a cut of Simmons "Liver
Regulator" and the motto; "Bourbons
must go."
The Tilot thinks it turns out just as
Dr. Miller advised in Judge Barnes
case. Miller advised voters in the 3d

The prospect now seems to be that
the Utes, Ouray and all, propose to lie
out of the Meeker murders, and not
deliver up the criminals, unless at the

start a little agency of their own."
That's what we have always wished
That those smart Indian Editors
down East could have Iudians enough
to tame once.
Tim Greeubackers insisted that al
though the republicans carried Maine,
they had an increased vote and would
certainly win next year. How do they
account for the dropping off in Penn
sylvania from 81,7SS last year to 27,000
this year; or in Now York from 75,000
last yer to 8,000 this.
Mrs. Washington Brooks, of Wa

The republican press is doing fc3
level best to have some member of tho
republican family in New York elect

Great excitement obtains in Maine
where the present democratic and
greenback state authorities- are at
tempting to throw out the vote ot four
republican counties in the late election,
thereby giving the state again to the
coalition. . All the prominent Repub
lican leaders are there and the matter
will probably have to go into the courts
to bo settled.
The republican gain in Lancaster
county is about 800. We remii d the

Yesterday a farmer of Cass Courin

Reduced Railroad Fares.
The B. & M. It. It. in Neb, have re
duced their rates to 3. cts. a mile, on
round trip tickets, from point to point

. Tote For Your Senator.
The present law of this State pro
vides that at the general election im
mediately preceding the. expiration of
the term of a United States senator,
the electors shall, by ballot, express
their preference fr the person they
desire to have elected. The legisla
ture wi'l then elect the person so chos
en, and thus the members may be re
lieved of all censure by carrying out
the wishes of their canstitments.
How seme Democrats Down Sontli Feel.
Dr. Felton of Georgia, along with
Alexander Stephens sometimes speaks
out in meeting. Here are his latest
opinions on the course of the demo
cracy, they will bear careful reading.
He has now come out flat-footed, and
denounces the Democratic party as the
betrayer of every right they have pre
tended to dafend. He denounces the
course of Nnrthern and Western Dem
ocrats in unloading everything upon
the South and blaming that section for
all the political misfortunes. He re
fers to the attempted political legisla
tion of the last session, and says that
it was not the attempt of the South,
but of the Northern a: id Western
Democrats. The Southern members
reluctantly agreed to support the re
peal of the election laws, and of the
law authorizing the, presence of troops
at the polls. This, he says, is a good
instance of the course that has been
pursued, for, although the South did
not lead in the attempted repeal, it has
to baar all the blame. He announces
to his constituents that he can ao long
er consistently attend the caucuses of
the democratic party.
A young man tat tip half an hour one
night alter hi chum had gone to bed sew
ing tin legs of the innocent sleeper's
trousi-rd together. He sewed them strong
and laughed long and silently after he
went to bed, as he pictured the scene in
the morning. When the morning dawned
he rose witn a glow of anticipation on his
face, and as it slowly faded away satdown
upon the side of the bed and dejectedly
cut open the bottom of his own carefully
sewn trouser-legs; and when his unsus
pecting chum asked what he was doing,
sighed and . said, sadly, "Oh, nothing;"
And he wearily thought how fnll of mean
ness was this base, deceiving old world.

Suggestiv Events of a short Railway
Trip.
First comes our new bridge with its
intricacies, with its hundreds of em
ployes, and we exclaim whatablessing
to laboring men are these rich mono
polies. Take the dram shop away, and
these laboring men will be the rich
monopolies of to-morrow; thus we rea
soned n the greenback solution, when
w heard the cry "Pacific Junction,
change cars;" when we would bey we
were detained by a lad about 10, Plen
ty of time fer breakfast." Oh! the
whisky fumes, so early in the morn
ing! I looked with amazement, and I
saw another scene, a pale worn moth
et bending over a hot stove, preparing
the meals that brought the means
that furnished her child the fatal draft.
"All aboard" ended the reverie.
When all seated, met a friend
from Glenwood, who narrated the in
cident of Landlord Nye. attempting
to burn the Custor House and under
arrest, and the solution was plain,
whisky had mined him, and he would
ruin others. Next in came a vener
able looking old gentleman, carrying a
youth in an invalid's chair ; be was pale
and wan; fine cut, intellectual fea
tures marked him as a young man of
no mean birth. Red Oak was their
station, many offered to assist the
father to help the young men into a
wailing carriage. Oa iaquiry we found
that he and a boon companion in a
playful scuffle, became unmtentionaly
angered, the prisoner striking his
friead a blow, which he has been sen
tenced to imprisonment for life. Aye,
thus it gaes, a young man in the prime
of life, sentenced.to a living death for
an accidential blow which ho would
give worlds to withdraw, while we are
granting thousands of men liberty to
maliciously slay their millions.
But here is Crestn, and we must
wait four hours for the south bound
train, and the weary hours we must
beguil. We walk about the city seek
ing whom and what we may see, and
whom should we meet but our - old
townsman Newman, who told us of
the greatness of his city, his wife and
baby; but the most interesting item
given us by him was that they have
but three saloons, and they paid 81,500,
he also advised us to try that plan, as
it worked admirably; ray mind
ran back to the time he opposed the
like moTt in our council, and I said,
how men and times change.
At 4 p. m. we left for Maryville,
Mo., via Hopkins, and we were an
noyed tfee whole journey, by a boyster
ous drunken man. Thus was our entire
journey marred by the footprints of
this fell destroyer, strong drink. S.

Physiology of a Fowl's Gizzard.
Says Robert Jcnuiugs: Experiments
havo demonstrated that' what may be
called tho gastric juice in fowls has not
sufficient power to uissolv their food,
without the aid of tho grinding action of
the gizzard. Bei'oro tho food is prepared
tor digestion, therefore, the grains must
be subjected to a trituatiug process; uud
such as are not sufficiently bruised in this
maimer, belo:e passing into the gizzard
is, iu this respect, iiicchaoicnl, this organ
serving us a mill to grind the food to
pieces, and then, by means of its power
ful muscles., pressing it gradually into
the intcstiues, in the form of pulp. Tuo
power of this organ is said to i.esutiicieut
to pulverize, hollow globules of giass in a
very short time, and solid masses of the
same substances in a few weeks. The
rapidity of this process seems to be pro
portionate generally to the. size of the
bird. A chicken, tor example breaks up
such substances as are received iuto its
stomach less rapidly than the capon;
while a goose jKirforms the same opera
tion sooner thau either. Needles, and
even lancets, given turkeys, have been
broken in pieces and avoided without any
apparent injury to the stomach. The rea
son undoubtedly i, that the larger spec
ies of birds have thicker and more power
lul organs of digestion.
It has long been the general opinion
that from some delicioncy in the digestive
apparatus, fowls aie obliged to report to
the use of stones and giuvel, in order to
enable them to dispose of the food which
they consume. .Some have supposed that
the Use of these stones is to sheath the
gizzard, in order to tit it to break iuto
smaller fragments tlio hard angular sub
stances which niiylit bo swallowed; they
have also been considered to have a med
icinal effect; others have iinagiucd th:it
they acted as absorbeuts for uudue quan
tities of acids in the stomach or as stimu
lants to digestion; while it has ever been
gravely aanertud that tiiey contribute di
rectly to nutrition.
.11: pea ted experiments, however, have
cs'.abi-siied that pebbles are not at ail
necessary to the trituiatiou of the hardest
kinds oi' substances which can bo iut:o
duced into their stomachs; and of course,
the usual food of lowls can be bruised
without their aid. They do, however,
serve a useful auxiliary puipose. When
put in motion by the. muscics, they are
caj-a lc of producing eHe-ds upon the
contents of the stoiuucu; thus assisting to
grind (town tho grain, and sepaialiug its
parts, the digestive lluid or gastric juice
comes muie readily in contact with it.
Vital Riches.
The genius of our civilization in its
physiological aspect is to make spend
thrifts of us all of our vital riches. It in
cludes no such aim as race improvement,
says tho Popnl ir Science Monthly. True,
some youthful culture of the head and
heart is suppo.-cd to reach alter that ob
ject. B it it does not. it looks only to
immediate success in social distinctions,
or to winning in competitive st rubles,
not to the remote oS.exis oi' onr improve

which physical dce.iei :.! ion, by tho pre

together exceptional. Co m pa ru the highly-educated
son with h:t lather, and a

constitutional stamina is nearly always
manifest. Continue 'he ptoucss i" r a gen

Geographical Problems Solved.
Within the present generation, and
mainly during the present decade, nearly
all tho great gcogiaihical problems left
us by our adventurous ancestors havo
been solved; all the great lines of explor
ation havo been taken up aud worked out
with success that leaves to the future only
Ihe details to lid iu. The Northwest Pas

His Policy.
While one of the sanitary police was
moving through the alleys of Cass avenue
tho other day, says the Detroit Free Press
he cutne upon two bad nuisances at once.
One family had thrown a great heap o!

dumped over an old mattress and two or
ihieo dead cats. The citizen living be

tho

aked :
'How long have these nuisances exist

'And you havc-ii'i lodged u complaint

Seicutilic Conclusion. Ab-mt Paris
Green.
1. Paris Green that has been four
inouths in the soil, no longer remains as
such, but has passed iuto some less solu
ble state, and is unaffected by the ordin
ary solvents of tho soil.
2. When applied in small quantities,
such as are alone necessary in destroying
injurioui a insects, it does not affect the
health of tho plant. $
Z. The power ot tho soil to hold ar
cenious Jtcid and arseuites in soluble
form will prevent water from becoming
poisoned unless the green is used in ex
cess of any requirements as to insecticide.
