"Let the people of tb wuitern stales
take better care of their birds. For
years past they have made a system
atic warfare against them, and the
markets of even the eastern cities havo
been glutted with ,roac, prairie bens

remedy than subscribing money every

May 12th, 1875. j
Ed. Cnncr. When Phillip of Ma
eedon, the father of Alexander the
great, at one timo was flush with sue
ewr, he prayed to the Gods for some
blight reverse of fortune, in order that
be might avcit a greater evil, which
ftc feared might follow his good luck.
But if the gods to whom ho prayed
felt disposed, had the power and
granted Phillip his prayer, I doubl
very much if he would feel at all satis
fied with tho condescendieg disposition
ol his deUica. And so.rt is with hu-
Sanily in every age and siage of tho
world, men will find fault when they
really havo no occasion to, or if flush
with the success of fortune, are iu
dread or-apprehensive of snmo mighty
. etifovertaking them. The present
people- of this Republican valley is no
exception to this rule.
During the last four yoar there is
much to be thankful for in our history;
and now if wc have met with a slight
reverse, -iD-lbo destruction of our last
years crop,, let ue not feel disatufied
with God for it, but rather return our
thanks that ho has not visited us with
a greater evik Tbe progress made by
Southwestern Nebraska, since tho
spring of 1871, in civilized improve
ments and increase in population, has
but few aasellela in history. The
proof of tho fertility and productive
qualities of the soil, wo have more
than fully tested, and wc know by ex
perience that the grasshopper is only
ar periodisal peat in those parts. There
fore, why do we feel so apprehensive
of the future? Why, those puerile
groundless rumors about young grass
hoppers, that I hear around amongst
the people, when in reality there is
aothing of the kind. Have last year's
reverse so crazed some persons that
they see nothing but destruction is
the future, or docs the bread of char
ity taste sweeter to them than that of
honorable, honest toil It would be a
blessing to the-Bepublicamralley, that
tKe fault-finders would" leave. The
sooner the country is rid of such per
sons the better, for while they axe use
less to themselves and a bote to those
around them, they do a publio injury
by circulating reports about grasshop
pers, which aw a true, and hence,
discourage iiamigratiOB into the valley.
The old settlers are not discouraged,
they lave just as much confidence in
this place to-day as they had four
years ago. It is only the men of yes
terday, who feel apprehensive, or
creating those imaginary monster
phantoms. Alan ef this class came
ia last fall, and1 had no crop at all to
be eaten by grasshoppers;, yet, they
are the very persons wfao-havereceiv-edBsoeaoii
the aid sent those who did
haw their crops taiaejec and now
loedestin their deauweiation ofthe
country aad its Aitare prospects.
Buteaoughof this, grumbling he
aaanity will always exist for nature or
dained that it should be so. The slight
reverse of fortune we -have had last
season, will only tead to make success
the sweeter when it cones: And from
the appearaBoe ofthe present sorinr.
so far, we have so caese to find, fault

TSS CONTSITTIOU.
Within twenty four hours the Ne
braska Constitutional Convention will
begin the laborious task of framing a
fundamental law for the people of
lima State. How they will aouit
tncmseivesoi mis great responsiuuny
depends in a great measure upon the
method pursued by the Conveutionin
distributing the work, and the individ
ual capacity of members to itrasp the
great problems that come before them
for solution It is naturally to be ex
pected that almost every member has
set his heart upon some pet project
which he desires to engraft upon the
fundamental law. Many of these
projects which may appear sound the
oretically, would not stand the test
when put into practical execution.
Radical differences of opiuion will
doubtless arise upon some of the es
sential measures of reform, and incx
pcrinced members should bcar in
mind that such differences are inci
dental to all deliberative bodies. The
convention is largely made up of new
men iu public life and it is hardly to
be expected that each member will
thoroughly comprehend every grave
question that comes up for discussion.
The principle work must neccssairily
be done by the various committee-';
and if the Convention shall select a
presiding officer who is thoroughly
master of the situation, classification
members according to individual ca
pacity and training will materially re
duce the difficulties of committcc
work. Great bodies move slowly, and
while the numeral strength of the
convention will iucvitably prolong tho
the session, tho members should bear
ia mind that Nebraska cannot at this
time, afford the luxury of a sixty day
convention.
While we have always regarded the
Constitution, of 1871 as an almost per
fect instrument, new questions which
have since that time arisen may make
certain departures fiom that formula
absolutely essential.
Some of these points wo propose to
discuss during tlio progress of the
-ession. The lively interest oxhibited
by the Bee in the past in every effort
to secure constitutional reform for
the people of this State will, it i
hoped, entitle its views to a candid
and impartial consideration. Omaha

Sheep Baising and Wool Srowiag.
There is perhaps ne place within
I the bounds of civilization in the Uui-
ted States, where sheep raising is a
moro prfitablo business than it may
be made here. It is a well known
fact to practicle sheep raisers, that
cold weather, even if it be very cold,
I is not severe on sheep so long as they
are kept dry, and as it never rains
here during tee cold weather and the
snow is light aad dry, tho sheep are
always comparitively comfortable.
The past winter has been unusually
severe, and more than the usual
amount of snow has fallen, yet, a gen
tleman, who has wintered seven hun
dred sheep on the South Loup, in-
I forms me that he has only fed seven
teen tons of hny, and only lost twenty
five head, of which quite a number
were killed by wolres, and the flock is
now in good order and in fiue healthy
condition. I his branch ot business is
uot developed as it should1 be. but
enough has been done to prove beyond
a reasonable doubt, that it must be a
success.
Patronize Home Papers.
The following sensible remarks on
the above subject, by the Kearney
Times, are as applicable to this town
as they arc to Kearney Junction, and
they arc worthy of careful note by the
very few firms ia this placo who either
send away for their work 01 do not ad
vertise at all :
"Wc have business men hers who
advertise in papers at a distance, when
they do not at home. When asked to
advertise in their home papers, they
complain of hard times and dull busi
ness, and say they canaot afford it.
Others say they have a fair trade and
think they can entirely dispense with
advertising. They forget that the
f Times and Press have done a great
deal towards building up the town and
country, aad thus have given them
the trade they now have. There has
been no enterprise brought ap for the
benefit of Kearney but what her pa
pens havo worked for the success of;

The Spare Sei
When I go to the couutry to viit
my relation;,, tfritfs M. Quad, the
spare bed rKe ut before mj iuiagina
iiou day. before I Mart, and I phiver
an I remember how cold and grave
like the sheets are. I put offthe visit
an long as pos-ibte, solely on account
of that spare bed. I don't like to tell
them that I had rather sleep on a
piefcet fence than to enter. that sparr
room and creep into that snare btd.
I and so they know nuihiug of my Buf
ferings.
The snare bed is always as Bear a
mile ana a half from the rot ofthe
beds as it cjo be put It is cither up
Hairs at the head ofthe hall, or off the
parlor. lire parlor curtains have not
been raised for weeks ; everything is
as rriui as an old maid's bonuet, and
the bed is as square and true as if it
had been made up to a carpenter's
rule.
No matter whether it be summer or
winter, the bed is like ice, and it sinks
dmvn in a way to make one shiver.
The sheets are slippery clean, the pil
low slips ru.tlc like shrouds, and one
dare not stretch his legs down for fear
of kicking against a touibatouc.
One siuks down until he is lost in
the hollow, and foot by firat the prim
bedposts vanish from right He is
worn ont and sleepy, but bo knows
that the rest ofthe family is so far
away that 110 onr could hear him if he
should shout for an hour, and thi
makes him nervous. lie wonders if
anyone ever died in that room, and
straightway he sees faces of dead per
sons, hears strange noikes, and pres
cntly feels a chill galloping up aud
down his back.
m Did anyone ever pass a comfortable
night in a spare bed ? No matter how
many quilts and spreads covered him,
he could not get warm ; and if he ac
cidentally fell asleep it was to awake
with a start, under the imprcssiou
that a dead man w.is pulling his noc.
It will be days and weeks before he
recovers from the impression, ami yet
he must suffer' in silence, becau the
spare bed was assigned him in tokcu
of esteem and affection.
