Our correspondents have crowded
us with matter so strong this week
that we cannot give all the Editorial
we would like to. In a County paper
we must do either one thing ar the
other, let'em all have a chance, or shut
a goodly number ut. On the whole
we guess the people like to talk and
hear themselves talk as well, or better
than they like to hear us, s we let
them have full swing.
The result of the late legislation in
California, and the subsequent raid of
Kearney and his dupes, is being felt
now. The big capitalists arc all gath
ering their hoards together, and leav
ing a place where property and life is
likely o be in the hands of a rnob.
First Keene went to New Yark; now
Flood goes, and others are to follow.
Every dollar of capital thus with
drawn from the California market,
helps to increase idle men and make
times harder; so that of all the States
in the Union, California is blue and
dull, while the rest are booming with
new life and energy.
Many Republicans have always de
clared that the election of a Republi
can President was necessary to the
preservation of the government; in
other words, that the entire ascendan
cy of tho Democracy was dangerous.
If this is so, they can afford to take
any man that is nominated (always as
suming that he is an honorable, com
petent person) who stands a chance of
being elected; or if We can elect any
Republican, provided we all vote to
gether, then it is more the duty of
those claiming to be Republicans to
vote together. Viewed in this light,
scratchers, and thoso who count their
man or nothing, must have been lying
when they said a Republican President
was necessary.
We call attention to that "vision"
story on our first page. It was brought
to the office during our absence, and
at first reading we thought we had
better not publish it; but oil second
thoughts we concluded that if Rock
Bluffs and Cass County had a man
who could see such things, the world
ought to know it. He may get another
spell, and my stars I the Sua ain't
safe, you know. Then it settles all
about the election of "76, you see. We
know now who was legally elected
then, and Tilden will be glad to hear
it. "We shall send him a paper at once.
Gen. Grant, too, has plain sailing after
this, and when he sees the Herald
this week, he'll bo "surprised" more 'n
ever. Fred Nye might as well give up
that Blaine boom of "his'n," too; for
Prof. Bishop has knocked the stuffing
all out of Freddy's politics for ever
and ever.
Louisville School Items.
Among the pleasant incideuts that
transpired during the College Hill Ex
hibition at Glover's Hall was the pre
sentation of Tennyson's Poems by the
Patrons and Students of College Hill,
to the teacher, Mr. H. W. ZiHk. The
mode of presentation wa3 so ably
conducted that it was a pleasant sur
piisetoall. Mr. Zink was requested
to leave the stage just before the last
act of the Exhibition, when the cur
tains were drawn and parents aud chil
dren flocked to the stage. A chair was
placed in the centre of stage, then Mr.
Zink was called for and conducted to
chair, curtains were then drawn and
in an able speech the book was pre
sented by Mr. Conrad Schlater. Mr.
Zink replied in a brief manner. The
matter was conducted with so much
interest and feeling, that the hearty
applause of the house was called forth.

From Lonisville.
Louisville, Neb March 1, 1880.
Ed. Herald: Business is brisk,
and Louisville boometh. That U. P.
R. R. branch (on paper) will run from
Papillion through here; thence to W.
W., and then to we don't care where.
Three or four dwellings and two or
three business rooms have already
been put ap this season. The exten
sive stone quarries, Pottery and two
brick yards will require several men
this summer. Leap year parties are all
the rage here with the young Indies,
the boys to "take a hand" when an op
portunity is offered.
On? of the happiest events f the
season was the College Hill exhibition
held in Glover's hall on the evening of
the 2oth. It was indeed one of the
most entertaining exhibitions Louis
ville has had the pleasure of attend
ing. The pieces played were evidently
selected with great taste, for which
we must thank the worthy manager,
II. W. Zink. If the Herald would al
low, we should like to make mention
of some of the most prominent actors,
but suffice it to say that all did well.
It. L. Foe as "Handy Andy," in the
comedy of flame name, was simply im
mense. Miss Carrie Schlater in "Re
finement," was also highly appreciated.
Others, equally worthy of mention,
were T. E. Williams, James Stander,
Flora Davis, Thaddeus Adams. Mary
Heim, Helen Stander. Minnie Lenhoff,
Frank and Willie Schlater, and Mr.
Pottenger. C. Schlater, Esq, managed
the musical department to the satis
faction cf all concerned. Just before
the closing piece Mr. Zink was called
upon the stage and presented with a
copy of Tennyson's poems by hi3 for
mer pupils, as a token of the high le
gard in which he was held hy them.
At a late hour we were dismissed, feel
ing that we had spnt a pleasant ev
ening. May College Hill prosper In the
future as she has in the past, is the
wish of your correspondent,

Thoughts Suggested in &. Mossy Glen.
(By D. E. T., AVoctl.)
I ramble In forest. In dell, and in glen.
The home of tlie fairies, in moss-covered den.
A glorious ramble through the frost and snow,
Away to the Dook where the mosses bestow
Their treasure of beauty on stone and on root
Tread lightly, ye mortal, with deadly boot 1
Tls God in His bounty has given the moss ;
Like Charity covering the sin and the dross ;
In here is the beautiful moss-covered bed,
Tis hiding from sight the old and the dead.
And many there bo in this world of ein.
May panne and may ponder and look herein ;
'lis writ in fair lines, alesion for all
lo read on the mosues so tiny and smalt.
Though cast in Dame Nature's mott delicate
mold.
They flourish In spite of the frost and the cold ;
While others, more showy, ia spit of their
boat,
Aro nipped by a frost ef tho size of a ghost.
A feeling co:ne o'er me. a Reeling of awe,
A presence I felt, nor ever I saw,
Intangible, fancied. Invisible, dire.
"Is't the home of the fairies?" I pause to in
quire.
This nook Is the church, and the fairies the
choir
The uplifted steins are the steeple and spire.
The soiiH which ascend from these worship
pers fair
Will cheer the warm hearts which congregate
there.
They live 'niong the root and rocks atween,
And light-footed trip o'er the carpet of green.
In Summer they dance on the blossoms of blue,
Aud merrily sip of the nectar aud dew.
In Winter the mosses, unspiinging for then,
Display to the view Nature's cosiest gem.
Of all which appear hi this bright world tome
Few things so fine and so pretty to see
As the mosses which cling for life to the rock.
And flourish thcngii storm and adversity uiock.
"They Say."
Afton, Frontier Co., Ffb.17, '80.
I herewith enclose an essay on
"They say," written by a young lady
member of our Literary Association.
I thought it so good that I asked it
of her for publication, that you "East
ern folks" may see there is some tal
ent here, not all barbarians.
Our fine weather continues. Times
still lively. As ever, E. S.
"tuijy sat."
The firt thing a stranger will notice
when he enters a strange neighborhood
is the phrase "They Say." If he en
ters a house and engages ia conversa
tion with its inmates, he will hear this
expression used frequently. In many
cases it seems to be the common theme
of conversation; enter a room where a
number of acquaintances are convers
ing, and after the compliments of the
day are passed your ears are immedi
ately assailed by the startling accents
of some one anxiously asking: "Did
you hear?" and "They say." Xotice
that group who are conversing so eag
erly and whose attention is eo com
pletely claimed that the spell cannot
bo broken. In .almost every instance
they are relating some new crime com
mitted by that rnonstor "They say."
And 13 it strange that They Say is the
current topic and leading question of
the day? When weekly, daily and
hourly we hear of the many lives that
are wrecked and lost, the fond hopes
that are blighted, the bright visions
that are swept away and the loftv as
pirations that are dashed to the ground
by this monster in human funn. X;
tiee the man who is striving tt cHmh
to the topmost round of the bidder of
fame and at the same time, is trying
to humor the whims and satbfy ths
demands of "They Say." While climb
ing the first sttps, fortune is smiling
upon him and friends ara standing
near, ready and willing to assist; iif
is before him in all its beauty and
just beyond lies the crown which will
proclaim him vi:tor. But now he has
reached the second step and while hi
is climbing, "They Say" has not brea
idle. She has visited hid friends and
poured h(r poison into thi-ir willing
ears; they lock upon his efforts with
cohiuess or indifference and shun his
present;?. Life that at ilrat MHumcd
bright, now appeals dark and flooinv :
the victim still struggles tn, but "They
Sh"' entraps him in tha many nets
that are spread for his unwary" feet
and he finally sinks to rise no mare.
And thus it ever is; if we would (suc
ceed we must go steadily on regardless
of the remarks "They Say," will cast
about our way. We need not think
to court her favor by listening to what
she may say and the advice she so wil
lingly imparts, for the end is death,
both social and moral. Instead take
tho armour of truth, and, overcoming
all obstacles that may block the way,
prove by your life that the world will
be better by your living in it. Prov
ing by j our life that "he who dares to
do the right is ever successful, ever
claiming the respect of others by his
superior merit. Proving to mankind
that you are not one of the "dead liv
ing" who is not worthy a passing no
tice, but that you will bo one ot the
living dead of whom mankind will say
"the world i3 better by his living in it.
Weeding Water Notes.
Februaky 23th, 1SS0.
Ed. Herald: For thi3 week I sub
mit the following correspondence from
Weeping Water. The concert on
Wednesday eve was pronounced by all
a decided success, tho best yet present
ed here, attendance very large, and a
success financially; all went away
satisfied and well pleased.
The closing exercises of the W. W.
High School were unusually well at
tended on Friday eve, in the Congrega
tional chuich, and were well and ably
conducted by the Principal, Mr. George
Mitchell, and the Misses Barbour and
Calkins, assistants.
Rev. It. Wilkinson and wife were
here on a short visit thi3 week.
Messrs Chase & Co.'s building is
progressing rather slowly, just now
on account of the late cold weather.
In mentioning the business interests
of W. W. the flouring mills come, first
in regular order, I would say: J. S.
Tewksbury is doing a first-class busi
ness in that line; T. Clinton, is doing
all that lie can do and turning out a
fine article in flour and feed, having
an abundance of steady first-class
work on hand; W. T. Allen of the
Lower or East Mills is about leaving
us, having leased tho well known
"Crabbe" llouriug and feed mills of
Lincoln, and we have no doubt will
do a fine business there; he thanks his
numerous customers here for their
well bestowed patronage of the past.
He leaves, principally.on account of his
wife's health, which has been very
feebly of late and which he hopes to
improve by change of location. lie has
for sale, a fine stock of flour, feed, &c,
horses, mules, cattle and hogs, cheap
for cash. He still retains his farm in
this county and hopes someday to re
turn here to do business in the flour
and feed line.
Hurrah for the new Drug Store,
"still ahead." I say Alf, how are those
twin boys getting along, what do you
think Editor, of five pounds and six
ounces and five pounds and one ounce
for a pair of boys. Alf is just now the
proudest man in town, and his wife
happiest among women. "That's our
W. W. boom this week and don't you
forget it."

Temperance Education
By the vote of U. T.City Board of
Education, on the sixth of November
last, the English School-book, prepar
ed by Benjamin Ward Richardsod,
called "The Temperance Lesson-book."
was adopted among the text-books
which cur city teachers are at liberty
to use. We hope there are a good ma
ny teachers in the city who are will
ing to take up this book and teach it
to their classes, for there is no doubt
that boys go out into the dangers of
the w orld, lamentably ignorant of those
that await them among the drinking
shops. We are sorry that this instruc
tion must come into theschools through
special text-books, though it is better
that it come in this way than not at
all.
There is, probably, no hallucina
tion so obstinate as that which attri
butes to alcoholic drink a certain vir
tue which it never possessed. After
all the influence of the pulpit and the
press, after all the. warning examples
of drunkenness and consequent de
struction, after all the testimony ef
science and experience, there lingers
in the average mind an impression that
there is something good in alcohol
even for the healthy man.
Boys and young men do not shun
the wine-cup as a poisoner of blood
and thought, and the most dangerous
drug that they can possibly handle ; but
they have an idea that the temperance
man is a fogy or a foe to free social
life, whose practices aro ascitic, and
whose warnings are to bo laughed at
and disregarded. Now, in alcohol, in
its various forms, we have a foe to the
human race so subtle and so powerful,
that it destroys human beings by the
millions, vitiates all the mental pro
cesses of those who indulge in it, de
grades morals, induces pauperism and
crime in the superlative degree whea
compared with all other causes, cer
rupts the homes of lnillioss and makes
hells of them, and wastes the national
resources more cprtaicly and more se
verely than war; yet so little have the
writers upon physiology and political
economy regarded this vital and eco
nomical factor in human affairs that
the friends of temperance have been
obliged to get up and push a special
text-book upan it! Hereafter no text
book on either physiology or politi
cal economy should be adopted in
any t-chool in tho country that
docs not competently treat on tha al
cohel question. It is a cruel thing to
send a boy into the world untaught
that alcohol in auy form is fire, and
will certainly burn him if he pnts it
inte his stomach. It is a cruel thing
to educate a boy in sucii a way that he
has no adequate idea of the dangers
that beset his path. It is a ineRii thing
to send a boy out to- take his place in
society, without understanding the re
lations of temperance to his own safe
ty and prosperity, and to ths safety
and prosperity of society. Of course,
the great barrier between the youth
and correct knowledge the great mys
tifier and misleader is respectable so
ciety. This is practically saying to
tLe young, pretty universally, that
wiue is a good thiug, Fine dinners
are never given without it, and good
men and wernen drink it daily. They
do not get drunk, they may be conscien
tieus and religious, and many f them
not only do not regard wine-drinking
as harmful, but as positively beneficial.
The boy and tha young man seo all
this, and think naturally, that those
who have experience- in drink should
know better about its results than
those who let drink alone.
Now, what we want to do in our
schools is to do away with tho force of
a pernicious example, and a long cher
ished error by making the children
thoroughly intelligent on this subject
of alcohol.
They should be taught the natural
effect of alcohol upon the processes of
animal life. (1.) They should be tangut
thati it can add nothing whatever to
the vital forces or to the vital tissues
that it never enters into the ele
ments of structure, and that, in the
healthy organism, it is always a. bur
den or a disturbing force. (2.) They
should be taught that it invariably dis
turbs the operation of the brain, and
.that the mind can get nothing from
alcohol that is to be relied upon. (3.)
They should be taught that alcohol in
fiamea the baser passions, blunt3 the
sensibilities and debases the feelings.
(4.) They should be taught that an ap
petito for drink is certainly daveloped
by those who use it, which is danger
ous to life, destructive of health cf bo
dy and peace of mind, and in millions
of instances ruinous to fortune and to
all the high interests of the soul. (3.)
They should be taught that the crime
and pauperism f society flaw as na
turally from alcohol as any effect what
ever naturally flows from its compe
tant cause. (6.) They should be taught
that drink is the responsible cause of
most of the poverty and want of the
world. So long as six hundred mil
lion dollars are annually spent for
drink in this country, every ounce of
which was made by the destruction of
bread, and not one ounce of which has
ever entered into the sum of national
wealth, having nothing to show for its
cost but diseased stomachs, degraded
homes, destroyed industry, increased
pauperism, and aggravated crime, these
boys should understand the facts and
be able to act upon them in their first
responsible conduct. Scvibner's for
