The Tribune F. M. & E. M. KIMMELL , Editors and Publishers. SUBSCRIFriON$2PERYEAR INVARIABLY IN ADVANCE. JR. D. CLARK of Vicksburg , Miss. , assistant secretary of the interior , died Monday morning. He did not live to lake the oath of office. WHY wonder at the increase ( ? ) of crime : An exchange speaks of a par ty who "got somewhat shook up while breaking a pony to ride , recently go ing to haye it for a saddle pony for his wife only he wont. " THE President has made the follow ing appointment : Minister to Germany , Ex-Senator Pendleton of Ohio. E. J. Phelps of Vermont. Minister to the Court of St. James. Governor McLane of Maryland , America's representative in France. Henry R. Jackson of Geor gia , Minister to Mexico. THE Ord Quiz has it that , "There is a day of reckoning. The grand jury meets soon. " It seems as though some parties in this neck o' woods were of a like opinion or had an inkling to that effect. "Hope , long deferred , maketh the heart sick. " And when the long uplifted sword of justice falls , somebody usually is slightly indisposed. THE democratic state committee hav ing failed to agree to make itself the disburser of the federal patronage of the state it is understood that the dem ocratic members of the legislature will try their hand at the tiller in a few days and that a call will be issued for their assembly at Lincoln , to take the initial steps to reorganize the shattered remnants of the party and get the dish es in condition to hold government pap. State Journal. THEY do produce something else in New Jersey than "Jersey lightning. " We have before us a paper sent by Mr. Clothier , who spent some time in Mc- Cook , last summer , which gives an ac count of a pork crop recently harvested in his neighborhood. 20 hogs were killed , weighing 17,500 Ibs. , averaging almost 875 pounds. And 20 others ag gregated 17,000 , averaging , 850 pounds. The heaviest porker , weighed 1,079 , the lightest , 744. Jersey is a small state , but she raises large porkers. THE supreme court of Iowa has de clared the prohibitory law passed by the legislature constitutional in every part , and now the temperance men are going to work in earnest to enforce it. Hith erto not much attention has been paid to it by the liquor sellers. The law re cently passed in Kansas is also pro nounced complete in many respects. The requirements are rigid , the penalty severe , and greater latitude is delegated ' to the authorities in dealing with viola tions. We will observe their workings with much interest in Nebraska. THE Holdredge Republican of the ISth inst. contains the following garbled article , taken from THE TRIBUNE , among two or three other articles , which , en passant , were not duly cred ited. We give the article in the Re publican's own original orthography , punctuation , etc. : The McCook Tribnne says : "No. 30 left Hed Cloud Wednesday with 3 car loads of einmi- grants , " also that "McCook is litterly crowd ed with emmigrants.Vearesorrytolearn that so many poeple are moving OUT of those towns. towns.We We have not the pleasure of the edi tor's acquaintance , but the manly and dignified tone that has characterized the writings of Bro. Thomas heretofore , compels us to conclusion that the ' -'dev il" has been manipulating the scissors and paste-pot on the Republican. Do not laugh at the drunken man reeling through the streets , however lu dicrous the sight may be , just stop to think. He is going to some tender heart that will throb with intense agony ; some doting -mother , perhaps , who will grieve over the downfall of her once sinless boy ; or it may be a fond wife , whose heart will always burst with grief as she views the destruction of her idol , or it may be a loving sister who will shed bitter tears over the deg radation of her brother shorn of his manliness and self respect. Rather drop a tear in silent sympathy with those hearts so sensitive and tender and yet so proud and loyal that they cannot accept sympathy tendered that in either words , looks or acts , although it might fall upon their crushed and wounded hearts as refreshing as the summer dew that falls upon the withering plant. Exchange. FENCES OFFENSIVE. The Bill Passed by Congress Pro hibiting Unlawful Inclosures. AN ACT TO PIIEVEKT UNLAWFUL OCCUPANCY OP THE PUBLIC LANDS.

Approved , February 25,1685. THE party ascended the steps , mak ing as little noise as possible , and Col. Grant opened the door with a latch key. The meeting between Mrs. Sartoris and her father was very pathetic. The gen eral , who was buoyant with hope and full of apparent good health when Nel lie parted with him a brief year ago , now looked pale , emaciated. His hair and beard were whitened by suffering and worry , and the contrast was so marked as to startle his little girl who had braved the tempestuous ocean voy age to see her father before he died. The hero opened wide his arms to wel come his only daughter , and she" rushed in and was soon encircled in his em brace , her heart nestling upon his breast , while the hot tears coursed down her cheek. Father and daughter both wept , and it was some time before she was freed to salute her mother , who was al so deeply moved at the sad scene [ New York Special. ] THE Kansas newspapers are very can did about Oklahoma , and admit that the object in view is not merely to capture a little debatable strip of land in the heart of the Indian reservations , but to seize the whole of Indian territory and dispossess the noble red man of his lust foothold on the soil of the United States. They threaten Mr , Cleveland and his secretary of war with great un popularity in Kansas if they don't let the boomers in at once. Journal. Hayes County Items.

Some settler has dropped down upon the earth about four miles from our of fice , and ever and anon a ripple of sweet , girlish laughter is borne to us upon the evening breeze ; we tremble , and wet not wet to do.

C. D. CKAMEK , County Clerk. Miss CLEVELAND , Grower's sister , has a lecture that recenfc events seeuis to endorse in a very emphatic way. She doesn't believe in self-made people , but divides mankind into two classes , one a very large class she calls "boosters , " and another * very small class , to which the Cleveland family evidently belongs , which she calls the "boosted. " There is a good deal of insight into * human nature displayed in the synopsis of Miss Cleveland's lecture , as published in yesterday's Journal. The boosted men arc on top of the self-made men at pres ent , anyhow. State Journal. MISSOURI hasn't'any cabinet appoint ments or foreign ministers or anything very great at present outside of Col.
