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

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

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.

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.
