A vert important case has just
been decided in Chicago in regard
to an attempt to bribe a juror. In
charging the- jury, the judge was very
severe on the carelesanfss with which
the average juryman allows himself
to be approached generally and lha
loose way of talking about any case
under their hands. The sentence of
the briber was six months in jail.
Edison has "struck it rich" again.
Injiis electric liirht platinum will be
largely used, and he saw it would Lo
necessary to either find some? substitute
for it r else find more of the sub
stance itself, there being at present
only a few platiuum mhies, in Borneo,
the United States of Columbia and the
Ural mountains of Uiusia, so he chose
the alternative of sending agents to
hunt for the metal, more precious
than gold, because more scarce.
These agents, and miners from vari
ous sections of the country commenc
ed sending him samples in which the
microscope detected the presence of
platinum.
These samples were "tailings," as they
are called, from gold mines, from which
all the gold has been extracted possi
ble, by processes already known, and
in his experiments for methods of ex
trading platinum, Edison discovered
that he was separating gold from sam
ples, which examined through the mi
croscope showed no traces of it. He
has extracted from tailings known to
have been thoroughly worked, as high
as $1,400 per ton. The entire tailings
from these mines have been contract
ed for, which are deposited at the rate
of 15,000 tons per day. Tho Edison

Mining Co., at Oroville, Cab, this

to confess his luck consists in the use
of the faculties with which he has been
endowed.
It is not often that a fellow takes a
ride with the Sheriff, and has a good
time: but the editor of this paper ac
complished that feat on Monday and
Tuesday. We ate dinner at J as Hall's
and looked his. brand new hmise over,
and then passed the fine farm of W.
Jamison, and found him busy in the
granary, getting ready for Spring sow
ing. The Sheriff buzzed him about
something that he said was all right,
and then we left. Tfco next place we
brought up at was a school meeting in
Sam Rector's neighborhood, where we
saw lots of old friends. We took in
Weeping Water, the railroad survey
ors, Mr. Tewksbury's mill. Bio. Joe
Beardsley's, and another school meet
in' near Timothy Clark's.
After that we dropped in at Mr.
Clark's for supper, lodging and break
fast. It's a mighty good place to stop
at, too, we just tell you thai! In the
morning we looked through his blood
ed Poland Chinas, aud lots of other
hogs, about 400 in all, besides plenty of
cattle, both feeders and some thorough
breds. We have n't time, before going
to press, to give our visit in detail,
but shall go some time and make a
business of Mr. C's stock.
From there the Sheriff got lost and
we wandered round in the wind until
we struck Mr. B. W. Briggs' place on
the Greenwood road. Mr. B. was
gone to Louisville but Mrs. Briggs
took pity on us and we had a very
pleasant call, and left there wishing
Ca3s County was fall of such folks.
In the afternoon the Sheriff went
hunting round for some place where
they had good kraut again, we guess,
but he didn't find any, and the first
thing we know we were back In
Piattsmouth, abont 4 o'clock and
heard they were holding an Election
here. Never had so much fun before
and sampled more kinds of Nebraska
soil in one day than any chemist could
analyze in a week.
We notice that Prof. Augliey's work
on the Geology of Nebraska is largely
quoted from by the press, not only of
our State, but far more widely. Mr.
Sala even, the correspondent of the
London Telegraph, who has boen trav
eling through the United States, is
presenting a rehash of. some of its
statements to his London readers.
It is quite amusing to see how un
concernedly some writers appropriate
the faets gained by him through long
years of careful, pains-taking, consci
entious observation aud hard work.
without s much as an acknowledge
ment of the source from whence they
are obtained. The fact is, the Profess
or's constant aim has been to simplify
and bring his work within to the capa
city of the average intelligent reader.
who is not an adept in scientific mat
ters, and he has succeeded so thorough
ly that the mass ot these readers are
not aware of the immense amount of
information contained in his little
work, so unpretentious is it. It is a
amentable fact that a sprinkling of
polysyllabic words, wholly unintelli
ble, give tho masses a much higher im
pression of a man's ability, than does
a concise summary in plain English.
But the Professor's reputation now is
too world-wide to have this apply to
him with the same force it would to a
writer less widely known.
The Omaha Republican thinks that
Col. Pickett with a Grant paper at
Nebraska City and a Blaine paper at
Lincoln is fixing a soft bed on onesids

An Affecting Setae.
An affecting scene took place a few
days ago at the police station, which
melted more than one Btein heart to
tears. A young man of most respect
able connections had been arrested for
drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
and was raving like a maniac in his
cell, whfn his aged mother, attired in
widw's weeds, ontered the station
house, and requested to be allowed an
interview. The request was granted,
and she stood face to face with her err
ing son. The surprise almost sobered
him fsr a moment; and he greeted her
with manly tenderness, but the demon
of intoxication soon broke forth in
freeh ravings. The mother tndeavor-
ed to calm and soothe him, but with
out avnil. His dull ear was deaf even
to th tones of maternal love, and re
tiring from the cell she sank into a
vent, while the subs so long choked
down, burst forth with passionate ve
hemence for her son her fallen son,
her fond hope ami pride, the prop and
stay of her old age for whwru sho
would willingly have laid dowu her
life. For twn hours her uncontroll
able agitation had full away, and then
with an effort at calmnrsi, she depart
ed. It was a scene which none could
view without emotion, and spoke in
thunder tones of the evils of strong
drink. Forywurown sake,' for your
mother's sake, for God's sake, spurn
the intoxicating bowl! It is fraught
with ruin to body and soul : it is a li
quid fire; distilled damnation, tho
strongest weapon of all the devil's po
tent engiiicry. Don't drink. Tito ru
by bowl may in vita, but there is death
in every sparkle, tears and sighs in
every glowing drop. It will deprive
you of health, fortune, reputation and
friends; mar your prospect; blight your
every hope, bring down the gray hairs
of yeur' parents in shame aud sorrow
to the grave, and finally consign you
a poor, bloated, disgraced wreck to a
pauper's trench in the Potter's Field.

Brain-work Alcohol, and Tobacco.
James Parton concluded a recent ar
ticle upon the habits and death of Bay
aid Taylor, (whom he had as a pergon
al friend, warned against the danger
of wine and beer-drinking and smok
ing,) as follows. Mental labor is not
hostile to health and life. But I ant
more than ever convinced that a man
who lives by his brain is ef all men
bound to avoid stimulating his
brain. In this climate, to stimalate
the brain by alcohol aud tobacco is on
ly a slow kind of suicide. Even tho
most moderate use of the mildest wine
is not without danger because the pe
culiar exhaustion caused by severe
mental labor is a constant and urgent
temptation to increase the quantity
and streugsh of the potation. I would
say to every young man in the United
States, if I could reach him: If you
mean to attain one of the prizes of
your profession and live a cheerful life
to the age of eighty, throw away your
dirty old pipe, put your cigars in the
stove, neyer buy any more, become an
absolute teetotaler, take your dinner
in ttie middle of the day, aud rest one
day in seven.
Mow Drinking causes Apoplexy.
It is the essential nature of all wines
and spirits to send an increased amount
of blood to the brain. The first effect
of taking a glass of wine, or stronger
form of alcohol, is to send the blood
there faster than common, hence the
circulation that gives the red face. It
increases the activity of the brain, and
it works faster, and so does the tongue
But as the blood goes to the brain
faster than common, it returns faster.
and no special harm results. But sup
pose a man keeps on drinking, the
blood is sent to the brain so fast, in
such large quantities, that, in order to
make room for it, the arteries have to
enlarge thenislves; they increase in
size, and in doing so they press against
the more yielding flaccid veins which
carry the blood out of the brain and
thus diminish the size of their pores,
the result being that tho blood is not
only carried to the arteries of the
Bran faster than is natural or health
ful, but it is prevented from leaving
it as fast as usual ; hence a double set
of causes of death are in operation
Hence a man may drink enough of
brandy or other spirits in a few hours,
er even minutes, to bring on a fatal
attack of apoplexy. This is literally
being dead drunk.
"Who is he?" inquired some one ef a
police officer who was endeavoring to
raise a drunkard from the ground,
do not know; he cannot give an ac
count of himself." "Of course not, how
could you expect an account from n
man who lost his balance?"

Harness Thief.
For some time back it has been
known that there was a hameus thief
in Cass County, who was getting in his
work pretty extensively. He would
steal harness or parts of harness in one
part of the County and sell them in
another. Tuesday the old rascal, Her
man Lucius by name, was caught, and
those who had lost harness were invit
ed to take a look at the old rat and
identify him. Win. Ossenkopp's har
ness was found at McConkey's, Eight
Mile Grove, Meek Davis got his at
Louisville; and the harness of a Mr.
Cook near Mainland, was found atone
of the Meisingers. On a plausible
story the thief had sold all these par
ties the harness. Now he is caught,
you can hang your harness out doors
again awhile. There is some of the
harness found that has not been claim
ed, which is in the hands of the sher
iff for identification.
Very Droll to Think of.
If not above being taught by a nan,
use Dobbins' Electric Soap next wash
day. Used without any wash boiler or
rubbing board, and used differently
from any other soap ever made. It
seems very droll to think of a quiet,
orderly two hours' light work on wash
day, with ne heat and no steam, er
smell of the washing through the
house, instead of a lo.ig day's hard
work; but hundreds of thousands ef
women from Kova Scotia to Texas
have proved for themselves that this
is done by using Dobbins' Electric
Soap. Don't buy it, however, if too set
in your ways to use it according to di
rections, that are as simple as to seem
almost ridiculous, and so easy that a
girl of twelve years can do a large
wash without being tired. It positive
ly will not injure the finest fabric, has
been before the public for fifteen years
and its sale doubles every year. If your

Philip Lex.
The old codger who stole some
$125 in money together with checks
and notes, &c. was captured at
Louisville Saturday. Marshal Mur
phy heard he was at Omaha, and went
up there Saturday morning, but the
old lex-less slipped by him somehow,
and was on the Lincoln train. Bush
Fellow? who was going to South Bend
that morning and was on the lookout
for him, spotted the thief and tele
graphed for Sheriff Hyers, who caught
the freight train here and old Philip
there. Twenty-five dollars had been
offered for Lex's scalp, that is, his
weasel-skin. Cap. Palmer kept an eye
on Philip Lex, thoy say, while Hyers
was a gettin'-thar. We always thought
Cap. was near-sighted, but you see old
Phil didn't know that.
Gorder Victorious at the Plow' Trial.
The following shows the decision of
the committee, given at the trial, held
on the Fair grounds last Friday:
Plattsjiouth, March 20, 1880.
The undersigned committee of farm
ers present at a public test of draft of
the IIAPGOOD SULKY PLOW, as
compared with a John Deere Walking
Plow, report that the Sulky Plow does
good work, is easily handled, opens
and finishes a land perfectly, and is
lighter draft on the team than a Walk
ing Plow.
The following is the result of a care
ful test with a Fairbanks' dynamome
ter: Hapgood Sulky, cutting 16 inch
es wide:
Depth of furrow 7.1 inches,
Avers ge Draft 341 lbs
John Deere Walking Plow, cutting
14 inches wide: .

The Hapgood Sulky Plow is for sale
by Fred. Gorder, and the above is a
guarantee of their advantages over

A MAMMOTH EMrORIUjl
Brief Sketch of tho Largest, Finest
and Best Appointed Wholesale
Millinery and Notion House
in the World.
In ("peaking of Chicago's advantages as a com
mercial center and distributing point to the great
Northwest, the Tribune, last Spring, fully recog
nized and commented upon the importance of Uie
enterprise and " push " exhibited by Messrs. O. R.
Koith &. Co., a rcpresentaUve whole-sale millinery
and notion firm, who had just then moved Into
the newly completed building, corner Wabash av
enue nnd Monroe St. This was an undertaking of
more 'hau ordinary commercial iiiuirnilf.il e and
importance to Cliicaco. which we are hunpy to-
announce thus for has bountifully fulfilled, and
more too, the many predictions then made by the
Tribune, reeardimr us need and success. Nor
could such an undertaking have been placed in
hands mora likely of success. Twenty-two years
iu the wholesale trade here, and with an almost
unlimited capital; buying their domestics in vast
quantities from manufacturers and for caxh, and
directly importing their foreign goods tbrousb. the
Chicago Custom House, it has enabled theui to of
fer unusual inducements, in styles as well as
prices, untU their vast and rapidly increasing busi
ness, mis spring, compeiiea uu'm lo lease ine
six-story 40-foot store just south, giving them
the entire-massive stone liuilding, 160x180 feet,
tix stories high, lighted on three sides and by
immense skylights besides, making six of the
largest, lightest finest (and we may add) most
completely tilled salesrooms. In this, if not In any
country in the world, every one of which are as
easy of access as tho main lioor. with their ample
elevator system. Some idea of its dimensions may
be formea from the fact that over four acre of
flnorinir is coinnletelr filled, and. too. with roods.
many of them the very choicest in the world.
The basement Is used for receiving and packing,
while the 1st floor fairly groans with silks, satins
nowers, riuoons, learners, oiros, ana ornaments oi
every known shape, variety, shade or texture.
The 2nd. 3d and 4th floors are eiven ud exclusively
to the noUcn, hosiery, white goods, and woolen
and flannel departments, any one of which would
make a snug Dtisiness for many houses. Their
notion stock is particularly attractive tnis i-pnng.
Nothing like it has ever before been seen in tho
West Their annual "Opening" jurt occurred,
and wu very largely and generally attended,
manr eominc hundreds of miles. In a word, this
is a Chicago enterprise, organized and managed
on broad and liberal Chicntro ideas, and cannot
faU to retain the popular favor it now enjoys
throughout the Northwest. Chicago Tribune.
