There was a large number of poisons present ; after the ceremony had been performed by Rev. II. T. iVi.lv, of Nebraska City, the guests itpaiied to the dining room w here a sumptuous repast was in waiting, to which all did ample justice. After supper the lovers of the light fantastic tied to the dancing hall and kept step to the mu sic, until wee sraalll hours, when all the young ladies and gentlemen left, well pleased, and hoping that in fif teen years frtm now they would be going through the same ceremony.

IIekald; In the columns of the Herald of the loth inst., a cow ardly attack is made upon my charac ter under cover of a fictitious sigua ture "Quill". It is a notable fact that whenever an unpi incipled party wishes to assail and injure the char acter f a person, he will write an ar ticle to some paper over a fictitious danie, in which by inuendo, or false charges he will insinuate that said person or has done some ter ribly bad thing but never in such a way as to be known. No, lie is too great a coward to come, out openly like a man. " Men, when they prefer charges against a fellow citizen, do so openly; but "snakes in the grass" dare nt, save the rattlesnake, which always gives warning before he strikes, unless first assailed. This writer is more to be despised than a rattlesnake; he tries to circulate a slanderous statement, not only against me, but , against others. with out anyone but the editor knowing who he is. He reminds me of the foolish turkey, which, when its head is out of sight, thinks itself secreted. But why am I so basely attacked? Simply b&eause I favor temperance. Some of the whisky ring and their allies are trying to do me all the in jury they can, with the ostensible ob- Eia Ipateasj ISebege Moliair JLastre9 ILiacn ai2d IPoplias Esa H5ssel9 Marseilles ISiassiasa 1TwlIIs5 JJJ? BBMABEZABLT X.O"W .FIQTJE;BS. M:i tlfte new Movase, next. to ject of injuring my influence for the temperance cause. But turning, to the charge, "Quill" says: "and now comes railroad master who swears he will prosecute said lawyer for stealing coal from said company, unless said lawyer keeps mum on the lumber question." If I have stolen anything, why not prosee cute me anyway V Road master, by saying that if I don't keep mum about his taking the lumber, shows that the threat, as well as such a prosecution, is and would be, a malicious one. Why wait till he is prosecuted, if I have done anything wrong and he is in the right. The fact is, we don't charge the roadmasler with taking the lumber; we charge and shall bring suit against the B. & M. R. R. Co. for pay for the lumber which said com pany jayhawked, and nnv, are un willing to pay for. "Quill" claims to be a temperance man, though for the sake of being popular with the whisky ring is hyp ocritically doing all he can in their interest, as he aspires to be our next county superintendent. He, as is his practice, is ever trying to carry water on both shoulders. Quill slander ously speaks of the bite Johnny Sulli van. Well, we don't wonder that he has courage enough to slander an un fortunane dead man under a fictitious name. In speaking of the great mis fortune of Mr. Win. Cleghorn, Quill says: "It is supposed that a blunder in setting the limb kept him in bed some months longer than would have Leen necessary had no mistake been made." This is a delicate subject, and I don't like to sav much about it.. But the limb was set by Drs. Waterman and Hasemier and we believe tl.ey did the best they could for Mr. Cleg horn and perhaps as well as auy other surgeons could have done under the circumstances. Xaw, Mr. "Quill" if you want a newspaper discussion with me I challenge you to have the courage to come out like a man and not secret yourself in the dark, to stab me and other respectable citizens in the back, then sneak away like a midnight assassin. If you possess a single spark of honor about yon, you will fight me over your real name, and when I get through with you, I think jou will net want to run in three opposite party county conventions iu the same year for county superintendent; nor will you feel like taking the chances of running on an opposite party ticket to defeat your own party, simply be cause the Republican party refused to nominate you for the oHice.

MISS WILLAIID'S VIIT TO CHARLES TON. For weeks we had been expecting this distinguished aguest. and again and again beeii disappointed. First, the illness of Miss Gordon, the private Secretary, and then a death in Mrs. McLeod's family prevented ; but now they were here, the entire party of four, and we delightedly welcomed them to heart and home. A woman's speaking in public, ex cept " on the stage," was a new depar ture iu this old conservative city xif ours. We are strangely rnconsisterit, for the very persons who go in rap tures over a woman's acting, singing, or dancing, with head, neck, and arms uncovered and exposed, under the blazing gaslight, to tho public gaze, will shudder at the indelicacy of a modest and refined Christian lady pleading as only a woman can plead, for the protection of her home and her dear ones. I knew that Mits Willard's reputation would command for her in the land of the Huguenot and Cava lier, all the attention and respect that could be paid, but I was hardly pre pared for the immense audience, which filled to overflowing Trinity, tho lar gest church in the city, or the number of distinguished ministers, who to do honor to the gifted stranger, occupied the Chancel. Every dcnominatio:i was represented by its best, and Miss Willard walked in with, and was in troduced to tho audience by, an Epis copal Bishop, a native oT tho city. A minister, who came in rather late, said: "I expected to find a cropped haired, masculine-looking individual, with hands in pocket, and voice keyed up to high C, and could scarcely be lieve my eyes, when I saw a graceful, beautiful woman, simply, and yet tast ily dressed, standing modestly in front of the pulpit, and in soft, sweet tones, pleading for those who could not pload for themselves. I had not listened two iuinute3 before I surrendered, and I could now no more doubt her call to the work she is engaged in. than I could question my own call to the ministry." The first utterances that fell frm her lips enchained our attention and made us conscious 'that a mind of the very highest order was claiming our attention. She was listened to, not only with respect, but with reverence. And from the Seaboard to the old Palmetto State, there has yet to be spoken or written,, the lirt word of unfavorable criticism. . Miss Willard is an especial creation, and I believe her work in this State has been blessed of God :o the good of veiy many. She has won all hearts, and takes with her wur best wishes. Rev. Dr. Ved ler, of the Huguenot Church, iu speaking of the symbol istic V. C. T. U. interpreted them, in Miss Willard's case, to mean, "We come to unite," "we come to upturn." S. F. Chapi.v, Charleston, S. C. ('rant aud Garllebl. Washington, June 14. It was but natural that Gen. Grant should take the part of Mr. Conkling and be will ing to let the public know where he stands in the present controversy. Gratitude for past services and per sonal friendship, perhaps, furnish an excuse for his recent utterances at Chicago, unbecoming as some of them are in a person who has twice been President and whose resentment at being set aside for a third term crops out in the bitter words w ith which he assails the Administration. In singling out Mr. Blaine as the author of these woes, General Grant adopts the delusion of Mr. Conkling, who assunyd, from his old quarrel with the Secretary, that revenge in spired the opportunity to strike a lilow at the Senator bv which his pride might be humbled and his power j be crippled in the State. Mr. "Blaine j has many mistakes' to answer for, but j the appointment of Judge Robertson, is not of the number. j That ac, and all the responsibility ' AYER of every kind belonging to it, attach directly and exclusively to tho Presi dent, as do tho preceding so-called appointments No member of the Cabinet was .consulted in either case and there was as much surprise inside as there was outside the Adminstra tion when the nominations were made known. The testimony on this point is concurrent and conclusive. After the decision had been made be yond recall, without stultification, Mr. Blaine had, of course, to take part in the arrangements by which Gen. Mer ritt was transferred to London, Bad eau wan sent to Copenhagen, and Cra mer succeeded Fish at Berne. When the secret history of this mat ter shall be revealed, it will be made clear that if Mr. Blaine had had his own way a very different policy would have been adopted, I y no means ob jectionable to Mr. Conkling, who was recognized as the leader of the party in New York and who, therefore, would nut have been subordinated of fensively. Like an infant attempting to walk while only able to crawl, tho Presi dent, flattered by incompetent inti mates, undertook to play what he con sidered a great part and to astonish the country with a surprising stroke of political craft. He would satisfy bth factions in New York by a fair distribution of the spoils. He would thus harmonize the party and of course illustrate the promises of tho inaugural for civil service reform. More than this, he would show him self to be President, like another Jack son, and be independent of Cabinet or council. He was master and would assei t his authority. How well this programme succeeded is known. In nii.ety days ho sjdit the party into hostile camps, and now the weak confidants, who stirred his freakish ambition, and who inflated hi. vanity to make this rash experi ment, have made him believe that ho has achieved a grand success, which all republicans but a little faction ap plaud, and which tho country irre spective of party, appreciates. In the midst of all the uproar, he is gratified to think himself more popular than ever before and cheerfully looks for ward to a second ttrm. N. Y. Sun . 1 lie Situation. Mr. Saloonist (with hands in his pocket.) Well, Mr. Nebrasa, here it is the first of June. Now what are you giiiug to tlo about it? Mi:., NlkrasTvA, (contentedly.) "Nothin, till you do suthiii.'

Hunting for game was practiced with bow and arrow only until in the six teenth century the Spaniards contrived the arquebus or inateliloek. Here the match was titled to a ".serpentine'' or coctk, hung upon a pivot, and brought into contact with the priming by a work: rig substantially the same as that of the modern hammer and' trigger. Ti.U was further improved by the Ger man invention of a jtcel wheel with serrated edge, fitted to a spring, and made to revolve rapidly, the edge coin ing in contact with a pi. -co of pyrites, and by this frietion producing tho sparks to ignite the priming. The uso of the wheel Jock for sporting purposes was very general in the middlo of tho sixteenth century, and for a long time was not improved upon. But uoccs-uty is the mother of inven tion.

The result w:us the Hint lock; and the pot-huiiting fraternity scored a long credit mark. . The t-portsmuu of our grandfathers' generation owed the me chanism of their guns to a band of poultry thieves; there is yet hope for the colored brother. The Hint lock reached its perfection in tho hands of "that king of gun niakers," Joseph Mantou, iu tho early part of the present century, and it gave way only to a worthy superior in the modern gun exploded by percus sion.

The charge in the gun mils at first placed above tho fulminating pow der, which was ignited by the concus sion of :tn iron plunger struck by a cock. Then this plunger was dispensed with, and the fulminate was .vruply placed in the flash pan. The sucue-sivu ht. ps are familiar to almost all gunners: the priming was placed between two bits of paper and called percus-iou pel lets; the fulminate was :.tiied to tho breech of the lie v.
