are the wonder , if not the adiuiiation ,
of the populace.
The canceling of the engagement
with Prof. Currier and band by the
Exposition Management is nothing se
rious , i\e there are many bands , as fine ,
' if not so 1'irge , which will be glad to
furnish music , even complimentary ,
at any time. Notably , the Mexican
Cavalry Hand , one of the best organ
izations of the Kind in America , ten
der their services without charge.
Airuin. the grand organ in Music Hall

is about ready for use. and will be
played every day by celebrated'per- ,
formers.
The State of Chihuahua , Mexicn.'has
a piece of silver bullion on exhibition
in Main building weighing 5,040 Ibs. ,
worth § 114,000.
Your readers may be surprised to
learn that the Mexican iron building
under headway , though covering a
small space , will cost that government
no le. s thsin $172,000. His being so
scientifically constructed that it can
be taken down in sections , when the
Exposition closes here , and shipped to
the City of Mexicoas a memento of its
representation in the United State ? :
and where Mexico itself expects to
hold high carnival next year ; when
that Republic hopes to have I he whole
world visit ler. )
The Government building , whereii-
the tertitories and states display their
exhibits , is occupied in the centre by
representations from the various De
partments of the United States Gov
ernment at Washington Cilv- The
*
expenditure of the money appropriat

something like $300,000. and the se

The principal feature of this exl.'iliis- j
is an ininvnse globe fifty feet in uS-
ameter , upon which is aecurately de-
Jineated all the gecigraphical and po
litical diviMons of the earth. Plai-.ly
described thereon appear various facts
relative to each country anil govern
ment , such as.its area , population ,
principal productions and'industries ,
commerce , etc. . This globe is so ar
ranged as to be illuminated from with j
in , so that its appearance as seen by
artificial light will be both novel and
pretty. Grouped around the base be
low this globe are representative spec
imens of the principal economic pro
ductions indigenous to the different
countries represented thereon. i
Upon large illustrated charts and
diagrams are presented to the eye in
formation relative to the productions ,
manufactures , trade and commerce of
each country , and upon other charts
are shown the relative distances of the
many ports of Central and South
America from the various shipping
ports of ihe United States as compar
ed with the distances of these same
ports from those of Europe. This de
partment , is surmounted by an im
mense seal of the state department ,
painted on glass for illumination at
iight , around and over which is hung
and drapped our own national emblem
while the whole is surrounded and
framed in with the flgs of all nations.
The postoffice is about finished and
natuially attracts Mie visitor by its
unique and business appearance. It
is regulated after the manner antl under - ,
der the management of the New Orleans - ! .
leans Postoffice , by Postmaster W. 15.
Merchant. One can transact business
as well here as anywhere , being sup
plied with all the conveniences neces
sitating mail transactions , even to let
ter carriers who deliver irail anywhere
properly addressed within the ground.
It will be glorious news to every
good citizen of this great country to
learn that the south is enteriniy on a
new life , and New O.-liMiis will be the
busy center of that life. The seven
million bales of cotton raised from the
Ohio to the Gulf of Mexico , and from
the Atlantic to tile western border of
Texas , will find a maikft here , and
not only a market but a plai-e of man
ufacture , from whence itsill be dis
persed abro ul to clothe the people of
the world. The cotton alone is. worth
more than $200,000.000. Place ihc

' SOUTHERN NEBRASKA.
. EnnouH "NVK.STKiHf Ilutui. : Emerson says
In Ilia Society und KoHtmlo. 1hr.t < "to flrat
fariuor wne the first , man. nnd all historic
nobility rcMfl on liosscsslpn aud ueo of land. "
Tills la omlnontly true of the great West ,
who/e spvi-'udititr to vlsioa are .thousands of
acres of fertile furmlni ; hind milling foroccu-
patlon and ready to yield upon sow hip tuid
tilling' Jla nch , harvests of corn and wheat ,
$ ucculcnt , 'rn.- > 6cg , vegetables and fruit. Much
interest 18 being taken now in the settlement
of the Republican Valley , not ly a clasp of
pioneers seeking ffpvornmcnt land' $ eo much
ns by those desirous of buying direct from
the pioneer nnd gottinjr deeded lands or re-
Jlnquishmcnts. thus savjnjr from four to six
years time necessary to earn the government
patent In two former articles to your splen
did paper we reviewed fujly the characteris
tics of soil , topography , climate , prodnctsand
advancement of the eastern and central part
of this valley in Nebraska ; In this wo will
confine ourselves to the western portion ! n-
clnncd in Furnns nnd IJcd Willow counties.
In a general way the characteristics arc very
filmilar all alongthe Valley. Beautiful streams
fed by perennial springs npplo and flow
through the land emptying into the Ifepubli-
cnn all along its course. Aa you go to the
westward there Is a gradual diminution of the
nifnfiill1. but the peculiar composition of the
subsoil , its spongy and porous character
miljes it servo as a subterranean reservoir
from which nature can draw an abundant
supply of moisture. A farmer who had spent
a number of years in Fnrnus county said to
us : "I have lived In Pennsylvania , Ohio and
Iowa nnd have novcr been in rany country
whom crops stand u drouth like Nebraska.
The leaves of the plant do not shrivel'up ' and
wither , tiut are bright and green , and1 a corn
stalk dug tip after a severe drouth , has abundance -
dance of moisture around the roots.
In this portion of Nebraska no lands were
granted to railw y corporations , or for.any
other purpose , thus all of the land has been
taken up under the provisions of the United
States laxby hojnestead , pre-emption or tim
ber culture acts.pxcept a small portion which
is yet open , but which is not the choicest land.
These pioneers , after obtaining their patents ,
frequently sell to the permanent settler and
at prices much lower than any land could be
sola by railway corporations who having
alternate section grants spend large sums of
money to place their lands upon the market
and are still doing so day by day. Thtro are
also opportunities to secure relinqtiishments
from . ' 00 to Sl.OCO per quarter section upon
which the purchaser can locate according to
government laws and prove up at the speci
fied tune. Of course the price of these lands
depends very largely upon the location , desir
ability and the amount of improvements al
ready put upon them. Deeded lands wild
that is unimproved , not as many Eastern people
ple think , desolate and. W' rthlcsa sell from
$4 00 to SS.OO per acre , while farms with more
or less improvements bring from ? r .00to.15
per aero. If any man desires to obtain a homo
in Nebraska no time should be lost as prices
of property are advancing with wonderful
rapidity. It has been evident to all of those
who have watched the growth of this remark
able Shite that the character of the iuimijrra-
tion has leen constantly improving , that more
Eastern farmers , have recognized the advtin-
tnges of selling their lrm at home for from
.550 to S7fi per acre , and gping to the blossom
ing West where live acres can be bought for
the proceeds of evexy one sold which will
yield as much or morcwith , , iess labor aud the
IV.rmer.will have the advantaao ofcthe rise i'J
valuation. The i iucojn Jourtwi says : "An
aero of raw prairie -covered with the native
grasses or Nebraskaw'hpse fattening pr < ipcr-
tics cannot be rivalled by' timothy , clover , or
even the vaunted fodder of ibe blue grass re-
, piqn of Kentucky , .carefully husbanded and
fe.d win'produce five dollars' worth of beef ,
wool , or mutton every year. Let some mathe
matical granger figure up what live dollars
per annum is five , per cent of. The farms of
the East and the old world are considered dirt
cheap at a price per acre of which the annual
production with careful cultivation will net
live per cent. An acre of good bottom or up
land in Nebraska put into com will fatten
more beef or pork than any other acre of land
on the foot-stool outside of the corn region of
the Northwest of which we are the center. "
This is in the main true and still to secure
these very desirable results it requires labor
and skill. A farmer that expects to come to
the West and live like a "dude" without work
will find his farm a mass of sunflowers , and
his time wasted. It is hard labor in all pur
suits united with diligence and economy
which ensures success. The markets' of this
region tire good. It is but a day's run to cith
er Denver , Kansas City or Omaha. The IJur-
lington & l issouri Itiver Kailway Which hugs
the Republican river closely in its westward
course gives to the people available transpor
tation facilities. The Kenesaw cut off , a new
departure upon which one through passenger
train each way runs daily , strikes the Denver
line at Oxford. This has created a boom for
this bright town which is destined to bring it
and its man/ advantages rapidly into prumi-1
nonce. Arapahoe the county seat of Furnns
county and Cambridge an nctiro. village in the J
western part arc also reaping the benefit of (
the new line in an increase of immigration i
and a rapid building up. Just think , in these"t
two counties not more than five per cent of
T
the soil is actually under cultivation while (
north and south , cast and west are fartns c
awaiting the fanner. 3lany of those wishing ]
to visit Nebraska do not know that cheap land
'
explorers' tickets can be , obtained reading to
'
Lincoln , Neb. , at any station on the Chicago ,
Burlington & Quiucy. the Wabash Route , and
some twenty other lines. These t ickets are {
good for thirty-five days and give land seekers - ]
ers ample time to leak around and determine
the most suitable location.
Now for some interesting and instructive
.points : The principal cereals raised are
wheat and corn. Broom corn is a favorite
crop. The native grasses are so good that
tame grasses are not much raised asyet. .
Stock , especially cattle and hogs , is being rap
idly introduced. The wafer is pure , good and
plentiful. The climate is bracing in Winter ,
cool iu Summer. _ The strong winds wafta.way
all mulnrhi and offensive exhalations. Tlie
country is new for fruit , but every needed .
constituent for success is here , and plums ,
Imws and cherries grow wild in abundance. -
Schools and churches are being introduced
with great rapidity , and the society is improv
ing d.iily. The frontier era has passed , and in
all respects of msirk'ets. both to sell and buy.
we ar reminded of an Illinois or Indiana
town' The county-seat of Red Willow coun5
tyIndianoln was made such May 27. 18 > J.
The site is upon a gentle slope toward ihe Republican - 1
publican i.vt-r. skirted with groves oust , west t
and south , and with rich fertile plains extend
ing northward. There arc good churches , ex- '
cello it schools , and all classes of trade represented - '
sented , although theio is abundant businets
for another bank , a' good hardware or dry
goods house. The real estate business is in
able hands , aud a good newspaper is publish- i
ed weakly.
t

the terminus of the division , with its populat t
tion of 1.20) . is n phenomenon. It has been i
built entirely since June , 1832. Had last year J

'
Burlington and Missouri for terminal train ,
service , with a round-bouse of fli'tceu slnlla'
and repair shops. Over 3.000 employees are ,
paid here , receiving approximately ? 31MJO per
month. It is a splendid specimen of the push
ing western aspirant fer commercial and ;
manufacturing conflpicuity. Fair lumber j
yards , large , well-stocked stores , sound banko , j
readable and Interesting newspapers , and a j
pushing , enterprising pull-togelher-und-don't- '
hxug-bapk class of citizens , whose fforts ensure - '
sure complete success.
"Know most of the rooms of thy native
country before Iliou goest o.ver the threshold
thereof , " is good advice , and it Western trip
will be interesting to any man who has only
read of the beauties of his country for' travel
makes all men country-men : makes people
noblemen and kings , every man tasting of
