The king of Burmah is dead. Sev

A little while ago and the Omaha
News and Burlington Hawkeye were
tickling each other amazingly. It was
wonderful editor Hatton, "great Hawk
eye" on one side, and "Bright Nye"
and "spicy news" on the other. Now
all is cold and dark. One's fer BlaiDO
and t'other for Grant, you ate.
The Omaha Republican comes out
in a new slress. It's awful pretty, ter
rible clean, reads nice, and if it wasn't
for the minion about the institution,
we should say it was tho Nonpareil of

John Carrioan one of. the best
known and brightest lawyers in the
state, died at his residence in Blair, on
Tuesday. He was a raan of fine mind,
a most genial companion nnd warm
friend. He was the legal adviser ef
the editor of this paper while residing
north of the Platte, and we are pained
to hear of his sudden death.
One question, Mr. Tip-Top, of the j
McMurphy Herald. Have we, as j
you state in your last issue, said, "that !
Mr. Tilden cannot be elected in easel
Dr. Miller gets him nominated ?" Wo j
have not a very high opinion of the
availability of Mr. Tilden, but if he re
ceives tho nomination we do not think
that Grant can beat him, and we are
even doubtful if any other republican
can ; he may however be scared out of
the presidency after being elected to
it, either by Grant or any other man.
We do not think that Mr. Tilden can
bo nominated, this we have said re
peatedly; we have also repeatedly said,
that wo sincerely hope that he won't
be nominated, and this is as far as we
are willing to go. Lincoln Democrat.
Yes. Col. Democrat of tho Vifquain
Newspaper, if we said you said so, wo
certainly thought we read so in your
very valuable newspaper; and we still
assert, Dear Col., that if yon didn't say
so, you ought to say so, because it's a
fact. We see that you agree with tao
Democratic gentlemen on the banks of
old muddy here, who also "allow" that
Grant :s the hardest man to beat on
the Republican side.
Ehrich's Fashion Quarterly for
Spring is at hand and as usual is full
of good things, illustrations of 6uits,
ulsters, wraps, laces, underwear, shoes,
hosiery, jewehy, gloves, and all sorts
of articles ef convenience and beauty,
with such moderate price attached as
to come within the purse of everyone.
Then the articles on the various styles
of dress good3 and all kinds of articles
the hints to shoppers, the discourses
on cooking and house-keeping, the sto
ries, poenis and literature generally are
excellent and all for th low price of
fifty cents per year. By sending this
sum to Ehrich Bros., Eighth Avenue,
N. Y., one can receive at the beginning
of every season a complete epitome of
every subject, on which she may be in
terested The long looked for Courant made
its appearance last week. It i3 very
creditably gotten up, typographically,
seven columns in size and chuck full
of what they call democracy nowadays
we suppose. It jumped into the field
without even a preliminary bellow,
tossed up its horns and shouted "Come
on ye Spalpeens, here we are and w'lat
you goin' to do about it?"
That first Editorial was a slasher,
one democrat down town was reading
away at it last Tuesday yet and hadn't
got more than half through. Of course
they pitch into Grant and third term,
Bliowing what they are most afraid of
on the Republican side, thereby exhib
iting the Wis(e)dom that spreads
itself throughout the new candidate
for public favor.
"Our Val" has made a speech in
Congress, good speech too. The tall
cottonwood of Nebraska just loomed
up over old Sycamore Veorhees of
Indiana,' Wabash and all the little
stunted down east "Yanks" and told
'em we wanted our "3tar"linos of mail
routes out in the Country in the West
and that the committee which report
ed on changes therein didn't knew
anything about tho business. "On
qonsultion with the CaHen-der," Vl
concluded that if they were goii'jr. to
have a Past route Barbecue, it should
be held in the State of Nebraska, and
for tho benefit of the State and Terri
tories he represents.
TnE Republican State Central Com
mittee met according to call at Lin
coln last Thursday. An attempt to
hold both state and national conven
tions at one time failed. By a vote of
15 to 16 the convention was placed at
Columbus; and after a good deal of
discussion, pro and con, as to he con
dition of Nebraska's mind politically,
it was determined that the 19th of
May was the best day to hear from Illi
nois, and hold our own convention,
too. The Grant men claim the action
of the convention and the Blaine men
also, while we outsiders and voters,
think it suits us too.
The wind storm of the past few
dajs has been unprecedented in Ne
braska of late years. It is extremely
unpleasant and is becoming very an
noying to farmers and all others who
have to work out of doers. In faet
though.it is net much better in doors,
as the fine dust sifts through every
thing, covers every thing enters every
thing, and improves hourly tho scrip
tural legend: that as we are made of
dust, we must expect to turn to dust
again, but we didn't expect to have the
whole world turn too at the same time.
TnE Nebraska Academy of Science
held its third monthly meeting at Oma
ha, the 8th inst. An encouraging fea
ture of the meeting was that the large
attendance necessitated the holding of
the meeting in the audience room of
the Christian church. The names of
Mrs. N. G. McCormick of Omaha and
Prof. Wise of Plattsmouth were pro
posed for membership. The principal
feature of the evening was a paper by
Prof. Wilber, on "The Origin of Prai
ries," and discussions elicited thereby
The eitizens of Greenwood are need
ing a hotel, it seems, as badly as we
of Plattsmouth; not but that there are
good stopping places there, as the
Herald knows, but there is no place
large enough to accommodate the ne
cessary travel. Then, a goed-sizedneat
hotel buildiug would help the looks of
the place wonderfully. Wo hope some
party qualified and having the capital,
will take Greenwood in their calcula
tions.
The Omaha Bee, too, has been
making improvements, not in the way
of a new dres3, but in additional tele
graphic facilities, printing now the
full report of the Nat. Associated
Press, and all the telegraphic news and
market repoitsof the Western Associ
ated Press. They have also increased
their special dispatches, and the morn
ing edition will contain complete dis
patches to 6 a. m.
Fred Nye must be badly "off when
he says the N. Y. Sun "is a staunch
Republican paper." He certainly can't
read it. In his remarks on the Inter
Ocean Saturday, ho is as badly mis
taken. . Its circulation among tho
farmers of the west, of his county and
this county and all over the state is
immense and its power accordingly.

The school board held their annual
meeting last Monday night, and re
elected Arch. Holmes treasurer. This
is his third term in succession; but
that's all right, as he is a third term
man, you see.
Last Monday night a fellow, who
had got too much benzine aboard, tried
to stop at John Cletnmons'. John not
being at home, he was told he could
not come in, when he undertook to
force an entrance, but was prevented
by the women and a boy. Tuesday he
was promptly arrested and brought be
fore Justice Archer, who lodged him
in the Plattsmouth cooler until Court.
By the way, Archer and im itft are
having cousiderable business of late.
Etta Patterson is teaching the school

Luella Notes.
April 5th, 1880.
Ed. Herald: The grim messenger
of death has paid us frequent visits of
late, taking two mere daring the past
week: On Saturday the neighborhood
wa3 startled by the sudden death of
Ernest Bond, aged fourteen years, sec
ond son of Mr. & Mrs. J. C. Bond.
Stricken dowu by the relentless hand
of tho great destroyer in the full vigor
of youth. So sudden aad unexpected
was his death that we can hardly per
suade ourselves that such is the ease,
but those who attended the large fun
eral at the house, yesterday afternoon,
were forcibly reminded by the sad la
mentation of the griefslricken parents
and brothers and sister of tha deceas
ed, that one of their dear ones had
been taken away and one of their num
ber gone. The able sermon by Dr.
Kenaston, was listened to with much
attention. Just as serrices were being
brought to a close, the death of Mrs.
Sanford Pottenger was announced.
This death although expected by ma
ny, as mentioned in our last, added to
the cloud of sorrow and affliction, that
seems to overshadow our neighbor
hood. Mrs. Pottenger will be buried
to-day, services at the house at ten
o'clock a. in. The condolence of a
sympathizing community are with the
afflicted.
April 7th. As we were about to
mail the above, we learned of the
death of Mrs. J. C. Bond, who was ill
at the time thoir son died and unable
to attend the funeial. We cannot say
this was,wholly unexpected, as so ma
ny of our neighbors had been called to
their long home we hegan to feel tho
death was near.
Sorrow and sympathy was de-picU'd
on every countenance, as they asked:
"Have you heard of the death of Mis.
Bond?" Sorrow for the loss of a good
and kind neighbor, one whose kind
ness did not ripple on the surface like
a noisy brook, but flowed in the depth
of a generous and kind heart. Sym
pathy for that doubly afflicted hus
band, who had so recently lost a son,
now a dear companion, who for sever
al years had shared his hardships and
comforts, his troubles and joys. A
helpmate in every sense of tho term,
and for those motherless children, who
hare met with an irreparable loss in
the death of one of the kindest of mo
thers.
The funeral took place at the house
to-dav. at in o'clock a. in. Services by
Dr. Kenaston, assisted by Elder Root.
The large attendance told of the es
teem in which the deceased was held
by her many friends and neighbors,
and their heartfelt sympathy for the
bereaved.
Our feelings will not permit us to
mix general news with these sad items.

Itock Bluffs Notes.
April 12, 1880.
Friend Hkrald: Rock Bluffs is
here yet what the river didn't take
in. Squire Archer has done a great
deal of courting during the past two
weeks. The Oldham and Gilmore case
on the 4th, Campbell and Sutton on tho
5th; and on the same evening came
constable Smith and deputy constable
Case with one Charles Davis, charged
with house-breaking. Several witness
es were examined in the case, and the
Squire asked him to give $200 bond?,
which he failed to do. He was taken
to jail by constable Smith and his dep
uty. Mr. Archer is also our assessor,
and is at bis business.
We've got a good joke en Mike too
good to keep. When Mike was ap
pointed Squire, his wife said to her
eon, "Johnnie, go and call the Squire
to supper," "Squire, who?" says John
nie, Savs she, "Don't you know you pa
is squire?" "WheopH" says Johnnie.
We organized a Sabbath school here
on Sunday last. Mr. Walstow is our
Sup't. Mr. Weed opened school here
Monday morning, and shews us he is
qualified for the position ho occupies.
Tern Ellingtos came up to town en
Monday a week ago, looking as happy
as a boy with a tin whistle. No one
could guess what had happened, bus
we finally learned that it is a boy, and
weighed 1QH Aveirdnpeiz.
Wo have what we call a daily news
paper here, "The Daily Enquirer," pub
lished in the east part of town. It has
two editors, one reporter, and numer
ous correspondents in the country.
"Limber Jim & Sons," are on the war
path. Wigett Hutcheson is learning
the carpenter's trade and Walstow
Saunders the blacksmith's trad. Mr.

Take both away the reason and the sense.

Hera ara Dr. Thomas Guthrie'B ex
cellent reasons for being a total ab
stainer: "I have tried both ways. I
speak from experience. I am in good
spirits, because I take no spirits; I am
hale, because I use no ale; I take no
antidote in the form of drugs, because
I take no poison in the form of drinks.
Thus, though in the first instance I
sought the public good, I have found
my own also since I became a total ab
stiner. I have these four reasons for
continuing to be one: 1st, my health
is stronger; 2d, my head is clearer; 3d,
my heart is lighter; 4th, my purse is
heavier."

"Hold the Port for I am Coming:"
We have just received a letter from
W. H. Baker, all the way from Chica
go, saying:
"Please tell the dear people to save
their money until I return, as we will
be prepared to show them the largest
variety latest styles and lowest prices,
ever offered in Plattsmouth on most
lines ef goods. Many novelties and
specialties which others do not carry."
That's a good idea, William, we shall
begin to lay up our nickels at once, at
least we know our wife will and that's
worse for us, because she'll save the
most and spend 'em the quickest.
Solomon Nathan
Have just laid in a very large stock of
Spring goods, Mr. Nathan returning
from New York last week. They are
one of the oldest firms in town, and
have gradually worked their way up
from small beginnings and narrow
quarters, to carrying one of the larg
est stocks in town, and occupying two
full and complete store buildings.
They keep of Millinery goods a very
large stock and varied assortment.
Box after box of linen suits for ladies
may be found. Silk Sacques, Circulars,
Dolmans, aad all kinds of ladies' wear
in great abundance.
Spreads, table-cloths, napkins, etc.,
are a specialty this Spring. Fancy dry
goods, boots and shoes, hats and
caps, men's clothing, jewelry, trunks
and carpet bags, domestics in endless
bolts, form part of their stock. They
are well known to the people of Cass
County, and have always commanded
a large and flourishing traded They
are wise and judicious advertisers on
a larga scale, and one seldom enters
their store but that it is crowded with
customers, when the weather is at all
good. They expect to eclipse all form
er efforts this Spring and Summer.

Fifteen months a Guest of TheSocall
ed Southern Confederacy.
The history of the greatest crime

ons, at Richmond, Andersonville, Sa
vannah, Millen, Blackshear and Flor
ence.
ABdersonville is a book of over 650
pages, ISO engravings, written in a sim
plo soldierly style, interesting alike to
the ex-soldier aad the civilian. Thous

originally published in the Toledo
Blade, and at the urgent request of
thousands and theaiands of loyal men
and women it is bow published in book
ferm.
The author, John McElroy, Private
in Co. L., 16th Illinois Cavalry, is a
man well fitted to tell the horrois ef
those prison peas, having been a train
ed journalist when he entered the ar
my, and perhaps the only one whose
taste and training thoroughly fitted for
the duty he has bow discharged so ac
ceptably to all survivors of those pris
ons. Every phase of prison life, tho com
ic, the pathetic and the tragic, is fnlly
and graphically described.

new type, oa the first quality of toned
paper. It is sold only by subscription

It can almost be asserted that St. Ja
cobs Oil works wonders. Shortly be
fore the New Year, when I visited my
family in Mitchell, I found my son Ed
ward, a lad little more than ten years
old, very sick. He suffered with Rheu
matism, and so terribly that he was
perfectly stiff in his limbs, could not
possibly walk, and had to be 'carried
from place to place. At once I sent
for some St. Jacobs Oil. used it ac
cording to direction, and in a few
days could, see evidence ef consid
erable improvement. On the tenth
of this month I again visited my
family and was astonished to find him
well and hearty. He once more has
fresh color in his face and can go to
school again. Whenever the old trou
ble threatens to return, relief is imme
diately secured by the use of the cele
brated St. Jacobs Oil.. From sheer
joy over this result I cannot withhold
recommending St. Jacobs Oil to suf
fering humanity as a true benefactor.
