Seut. 1 Crops and cattle are suffering terribly for want of rains, and lires in the mountains j are blazing terribly, while the smoke obstructs the sun. In the northern counties the water supply is entirely derived from wells. Kesidenls are compelled to cart water from Jersey City and Hoboken, and paying its high as ten dollars per load. North Hud son county has a company who have about 000 hoists at work to cart all their water in large iron tanks.

Her Coiidition Yestertlay ?Joning Ad ditional Particulars of the Accident. From Hon. W. V. Carder, of Grant precinct, we glean additional particu lars of the accident that happened to Miss Grant, last Wednesday evening. He says the young lady was staudii.g at the door of the house, threading a needle, when the Hash of lightning struck her. She fell to the tloor in a swoon. Her mother, who was seated on a chair a few feet away, and who has been an invalid for years, picked iii her baby from the bed and in ti.e midst of one of the worst rain storms ever known in that section of the country, ran to a neighbor's house, a quarter of a mile away, and notified then, that her daughter had been struck by lightning. A lew of the neighbors and the frantic mother re paired to the house and found the girl lying on the lloor iu an unconscious condition. Restoratives were admin istered and in a short time she was re stored to consciousness, though unabie to speak. During Wednesday night she seemed to suiter tvrribly, and at times was observed to throw her hand suddenly to her hip, as though to show her mother that the pain was there. At last her mother made a close exam ination of the hip, and discovered a piece of thread hanging from the skin. Pulling the thread she drew from the flesh the needle the poor girl had in her lingers at the lime the lightning strufh her. Mr. Carter says it was im bedded iu the llesli at least an inch be low the turiarv of the skin, and when extracted was bent and twisted and looked as though it had been taken Oil. of a red hot fill Lace. Yesterday morning Miss Grant had fuily retrained consciousness and it was thought iter lecoveiy was only a question of a vtry short tiine. - Lin coln Journal Sept . . A I'ortrait of br. Ilollam!.

Hendricks on 31 en and Things. (lath in Cincinnati Inquirer. "Mr. Hendricks, I remember seeing you at dinner at Mr. Biaine's once, sit ting on his left hand, while Charles Sumner was on his right?" "1 knew Minuier intimately well. I think he was a sincere enthusiast. I never saw any indications of mental or moral dynasty iu him. He had nothing of the ready power of Fessen den, who was the uiost able man I have ever seen iu the United Males Senate, but his reading and learning were very extensive. After Grant come inta power Sumner would not fall into mere lollowership.. He felt the stnse of fitness, anil, although he was badly treated by his party, 1 re gard his closing years as mellowing with humanity and magnanimity his younger and more radical days." "Do you think Mr. Blaine is as strong before the people as he was three or four years ago?" "No. We can beat Blaine whenever he runs for President. He would have to be on the defensive from the time he took the Held." "What do you think of lioscoe Con kling?" "That is the man, if I were a Re publican, I wouid want to see Presi dent of the United States. While he is rather of aristocratic behavior, he is a man who tolerates no jobbery nor low intrigue. His pride of character has most of the elements of self re spect in it. As to his abilities, they are prodigious. I think he is the most powerful speaker I ever knew - I sat in the senate with him a full term, an 1 I never had the least reason to suspect him of being concerned in any thing de ions or intei esti d in ir. On one occasion he got ready to pitch into railroads, and endeavored i,to arrest some action of the Kxecutive carrying out the rights of a railroad that ran from nortnwestci n Missouri to the Union Pacil.c road. I fiequently took a favorable view to lailroads, and iu examining this cae concluded that the company had performed its work, and was entitled to its franchise. Mr. Conklmg came to me and invited me to join with him in an on-slatight. I said: 'In this case I do not think it just. 4 Why V he said, 'I had expected a different course from you.'

P. S. Ecstice, G. T. A. How to Make a Poultics. Dr. Bruton, in Uraou the new Lon don periodical, gives the following use ful hints ou this subject: The common practice of making poultices by mixing linseed meal with hot water and apply ing it directly to the skin is quite wrong, because if we do not wish to burn the patient we must wait until a gi eat'portion of the heat has been lost. The proper method is to take a flannel bag. the size of the poultice required, to lill this with the linseed poultice, as hot as can possibly be made, and to put between this and the skin a second llannel, so there shall be at least two thicknesses of llannel between the .skin and the poultice itself. Above the poultice should be placed more llannel, or a piece of cotton wool, to prevent it from getting cold. B this method we are able to apply the linseed meal boil ing hot, without burniug the patient, and the heat, gradually diffusing through the flannel, affords a grateful sense of relief, which cannot be ob tained by other means. There are few ways in whieh Mica marked relief is given to abdominal pain, as by the ap plication of a poultice iu this manner. ST 77 jSTefoiuakaa, What Oar r.xchanges Say. Burglars infest Fremont.

The hay harvest continues with un abated vigor, and there will be thous ands of tons of it for sale in Nebraska. There is no foretelling what the de mands of the coming winter may be, but if it should happen as it did last season, some of our farmers will make money. Last season was unprecedent ed, but hay may possibly reach .i?lo a ton again. Columbus Journal. To say that the Domestic Month ly for September is filled with fresh and valuable information on fashions, is to leave unmentioned the fact that these are Hew iashioti, appropriate for such occasions as aie certain to occur in the lirst mouth of Autumn.

How those dress w ho follow esthetic moJes is al so delineated, even to describing artist ic styles for little girls, and the new Milt n suit for boys. The coming bon net is confidently talked of in the Sep tember Monthly, and what styles of wraps, travelingsuits, laces, orna.. ents gloves and shoes ladies will wear from now until winter, are disclosed in ad vance of Autumn openings. Those interested w ill lind th'ree ser viceable articles in he new number: one on mourning fashions, one on boarding-school and e very-day dresser, for gitls, and one on bags, belts and ornaments, these accessories being at present almost as important as the costume itself. "Six Months with Dixie," by Helen Campbell, opens the Literary Depart ment, and no one who' reads the fust paragraph will skip aline of the pi quant sketch of Southern School Life which follows. The conclusion of Miss DeVere's story is deeply interesting and very unlike the stock ending of the ordinary novel, "f he Writing on the Bocks" describes the proces where by American landscapes are defaced in defiance of law and private rights. "All on account of Hortensia" is a sprightly society tale by Mm. Meri ghi, and the London Letter will be found as full of charming gossip as London itself is of people. Altogether, the number is a capital one, and opens the Fall Season with the most bril liant promise for the future.

Came, down to "Idaho Springs" and stajed over night. There are two bath houses here, known as the old and the new. Tha "old man" runs a wagon up to hi spring in a romantic gulch, with many odd surroundings.' The water is pumped up, both hot and cold, and run in small baths. There is one large swimming bath. The hot water is not nearly as hot sis that over at the Sul phur Springs. The cold Bpring from which they drink tastes very similar to manufactured soda water, a little stale, without any syrup in it. It is quite, a watering place, very pret tily situated, and at about the right elevation for comfort (7,500 ft.) Pleas ant drives and rides over to Central, Brookvale, up to Bellevue and other places make it a desiralle place to spend the summer months in. Art.usT 22, 1SS1. At "Forks Creek" below, the depot literally stands over the creek, sup ported by braces, slanting in to a foot ing at the bed of tho stream. The en tire "cubby-hole," of depot, water-tank, switches and all could be set doA ii iu pretty near the smallest front yard in Plattsmouth, and yet here we leave by a branch "narro w-guage" for CENTRAL AND I! LACK HAWK, - two of the oldest, oddest, rockiest, wealthiest, narrowest, up-hilliest min ing points in Colorado. Up 000 feet, and stepping off at Blaek'Hawk, the portions of the town near the depot are not particularly in viting. The streets are very narrow, the houses old, right on the stieets, and the places on which they are built literally hewed out of the rock. The dust from the numerous mills (grind ing ore) covers the sidewalks, and must be annoying at times. Bocks against rocks, and houses pil ed on houses, was the impression it gave me. Crude, rude, wedged in every inconceivable shape into the crevices and portholes of the rocks stand the buildings, some in tiers, and others shot into crannies, w lie re they stick by natural selection, I guess; and yet there iiiiix, artistic effect about them thai must enrapture the painter and photographer. I left the train to the right of me and wandered up the one long single street to Central. Seeing a road way above me, on the left, from which I thought I could get a better view, I straggled towards it. climbing a nar row, almost perpendicular foot-trail to do so. When about half way up I was startled by a roar and a rumble as if the old mountain was abeut to open and tumble all the rocks down. There was actually something weird about j it, for there, still above me, on my left, thundering along, was the very train I had left behind ine at the d pot, on my right. And this brings me lo the great railroad feat of engineering, by which a rise of 500 feet is made in a mile, between Central and Black Haw k, From depot to depot by wagon road is a mile, and the difference in altitude 540 feet. The railroad travels 4 miles and zigzags across the face of the mountain to reach Central. That's how I come to lind it on the other side of m? ; and it fail ly makes you shudder to see the train speeding along at that dizzy height, and yet no accidents have happened that caused loss of life since it w as built, and it is probably as safe as the average express train East. The upper end of the gulch is called "Central," and, as usual, it widens out at the top somewhat, and gives room for a better class of houses, and an at tempt at yards. I follow the road clear on, up to Central, determined to see what there is beyond, and lind, as I have before, that the tvp is a great way off. The roughest of the canon may be passed, the stony walls left behind; but vista after vista opens above, and peak after peak appears, till at last the great range is reached through some moun tain pass, and not till then can you say you are at the top. Here I find some open ground, even a small oat-field and a h ay lot; but beyond tlie white peaks glimmer, and far to the west James Peak, bold and bare, towers above timber line and the surrounding hiils. This may indeed be called a mining town, for the openings appear every where, above, below, to the right of you, to the left of you, at the edge of the street, high up on the mountain peak gleams the white refuse of the prospect hole, deep beljw run the muiJ dv waters' from some sluice or mill. I take the tia:it back to Black Hawk and rule in wrapt pleasure around the clinging sides of the mountain, with the to vii lai, far below, over the per ilous (so the guide books saj ) "tressle woik," down The wonderful "sw itch back" down, do wn the 500 ft. to the old depot, for, thank fortune, I'm not nervous in that way, and the ride was a whole book from Nature's library, spread open to me. I regain mv coat and "grip," re-enter the cars and stiil down, down we go lo "Forks Creek," down far-famed Clear Creek, shoot out into the "open"' at Golden, and it eight o'clock I am in Denver again. Mac. (.cnevieve Ward's 3Iarringc. A great deal of romance has been indulged in with regard to the circum stances of Miss Ward's history, but I do not think, writes "Jennie Juno", that the exact Tacts have ever been told. It was at Nice, when, as I be fore stated, she was only a girl of sev enteen, she was married by the then American consul to the Count de Guerbel.a very handsome, but dissi pated young Russian, who, however, was not known for his propensities, or for anything but as being singular ly fascinating, a favorite with all the women, and even with the men, and a representative of one of the best Rus sian families. Mrs. Col. Ward, Gene vieve's mother the diuighter of Gid eon Lee, of New York, and a woman of great et.trgy and strength ot char acter was as favorably iinruessed by her daughter's suitor as the daughter herself; but she was not satisfied that the consular or civil marriage would be sullicient, and insisted upon going to Paris with' her daughter, an.l hav ing the rites solemnized there accord ing to the formulas of the Greek Church. To this Count do Guerbcl agreed, but he purposely delayed so lohg r.fttr Mrs. Ward and her daugh ter's departure, that Lent had begun, and the marriage could not bo com pleted, according to the laws of tho Greek church, during its continuance. In the mean time, the bridegroom used all his arts to induce his almost wife to elope with him, vowing and promising the fullest acknowledge ment and a princely settlement en treaties which it must have been very ditlicult for a young girl, a wife in her own eyes, according to the laws of her own country, to resist. But, guarded and strengthened by the presence of her mother and brother, she refused to see him except in their presence, until all forms had been complied with and it was then that the true character of the man began to disclose itself. He promised, but evaded, and finally left Paris, at the instance, it was said, of the Emperor of Russia, in w hose service he wa?, ho having begun his career as page to tho empress of Russia, at 12 veais of age, and actually ran away with the beau tiful wife of a general at 17. This es capade was only forgiven through the personal intervention of the empress whose admiration for her handsome page was so great that she had his portrait painted full length and hung in the palace. His disappearance determined Mrs. Ward upon seeking the advice and counsel of her personal friend Gover nor Seymour, then our minister to Russia. She went with her daughter to St. Petersburg, and they were in vited to make their home iu his house while he presented the case to 1'iince Goi tschakoff, and through him to the Lmpei or. It was a time of the deepest anxi ety. By marrying a Russian subject, Miss Ward had forfeited her claim as an American citizen, and could, there fore get no passport to leave after en tering the fountry. By failure to comply with tho formulas of the Greek church she had established no right as a Russian wife, and was, therefore, at the mercy of an unprin cipled husband, and absolutely de pendent on such grace as could be ob tained from the emperor. With Rus sian ideas of subjection and mastery iu wedlock, the most that could be ex pected was. that the emperor would command the presence ot DcGuerbel, and after compelling him to the com pletion of his vows, deliver his wife over to him as his property, and to a fate which she had learned to dread as the worst that could befall her. To Prince Gortschakoff she dared to confide her hopes and her fears, and lie, in his turn, doubtless, communi cated them to the emperor; for the royal man, as he certainly was, not only sent an instant summons to the Count de Guerbel, commanding him to be at the cathedral at Warsaw a. a kiven lime or suffer banishment to Si b.ria,but he sent a passport which en abled the countess, with her mother, lo leave the cathedral and the city of Warsaw the instant the marriage had been solemnized with all tho sacred forms. The w isdom of this foresight was sutllciently apparent on the count's arrival. Bold, cruel, deter mined, he announced his willingness to complete his marriage according to all the forms, provided his wife should agree to live with him in Rus sia. This she refused, at the same time renouncing all right and title to his property or anything but his name which, in her own country, it was her right to bear. Under these circum stances, in the grand cathedral at Warsaw, in the presence of Prince Gortschakoff, as the representative of the emperor, and her father, who came from America to attend the ceremony, this marriage, which had been con ducted diplomatically, and on the most august terms, took place, the bride iu her traveling dress, taking leave of her husband and all the per sons present at the altar, and starl ing with her mother instantly for Italy, where she had decided to take her life in her own hands and begin her studies for a musical career. We all remember the sensation which Mint', Guerrabella (Italianized version of her married name) made in New York when she appeared as a singer. Unfortunately, when filling an op eratic engagement in Havana, Adel aide Phillips being the contralto, the suffered from a serious illness wl ich so impaired her singing voice thai sue never fully recovered it, and afler a P rio 1 of waiting, with the energy which distinguishes her, took up her studies al'iesh for the dramatic stage list with Miss Morant, afterwaid with the distinguished French artist, Rcgnier. who alwas predicted great things for his pupil. Miss Ward made a tour through this country last fall, in hei play of Forget-me-not, which was very st:c cet'sful. She returns this fall for a second tuur, and will introduce a new play in addition to the former one. When she returned to London last fail where she resides, j-he was ac companied by Jennie .7uneand "Aunt Fannie'' and they have since been traveling in Switzeiland.
