Eihtou Journal: The first part
of the journey from Columbus to
Grand It-land is nil dotted on each
side of the U I. with farm houses
:iud out btiihlinjr?, the majority or
the dwellings beinir large and com
fortable and many of them very
co.stlj. Tlie crops look well.
The tow us are all growing. Silver
Creek has several new buildings in
course of erection.
Central City is quite a bigness
town. We noticed tea ms on (lie street
loaded with merchandise for St.
Paul, on the Loup. Jlerc wc saw
teams on the way to Lcadvillc from
Iown, and an out lit for Deadwood,
Ulack Hills, with over fifty cows to
hlurt u dairy.
Grand Island is larger than Co
lumbus, and has some liner build
ings. The public school in the south
part of town is a splendid brick
building, and bows date ISIS.
Alda, 'Wood Kiver, Shelton and
Gibbon are stations along the val
ley ol Wood river, the rail road
running parallel with the stream.
This is one of the most fertile val
leys of Nebraska, and is all settled
tip. Here we taw tho best crops
up to that time. The towns arc all
growing cud appear to be doing a
good busiucss.
'Kearney is only a small place, but
Kearney Junction, 5 miles farther
west and 19(1 miles west of Omaha,
is tho boss town. It has more busi
ucss houses than cither Columbus
or Grand Island, with a population
between 1500 and 2000.
The bebt looking crops on the
route are west of Kearney, fields
of wheat over 100 acres as fine as
could be found anywhere, and I
believe all other crops grow as well
as iu any other part or the State.
There are in this camp now eleven
wagous bound for Washington Ty.,
and bevcu for Montana.

The following is a compilation
from tho session laws of 1879, in re
gard to fines.
Five dollars for not turning to the
right with a team when nicctinjr
another on the public road, il any
damage ensue.
Twenty dollars fine if any person
keeps iu his employ a drunken dri
ver on any carriage u&cd as a public
covcyance.
Five dollars for each time a team
is lclt btanding on any public road
without being securely late:icd.
Twenty dollars for leaving the
team of a stage coach containing
passengers, iu the road unfastened.
Ten dollars for running a team or
horse on the public road.
Five dollars for driving faster then
a walk over a bridge. Sctcard lie

The Itcv. J. U. L'eltzly, Lutheran,
is out with a calculation of the size
of heaven, based on the Ptatement
iu the Revolution that the angels
"measured with the reed 12,000 fur
longs. The length, the breadth, aud
the height of it are equal." Taking
eight furlongs to equal a mile, he
comes to the following conclusions:
"The heavenly city will be 1,500
miles in each of its dimensions,
which will accommodate all the
pcoplo of all the worlds with sep
arate apartments. There will be
precisely 39,5il,lCG,GGG,GGG,CG3,GCG
rooms of fair size, and there will
remain over 240,000,000,000,000,000
of mansions unoccupied, to be oc
cupied by the aagcls."
A Queer Kind of Milk.
There is a cow-tree in Venezuela,
the milk of which is very much like
cows' milk or cream. They go each
morning to the forest, make some
deep cuts iu the trees, and in less
than two hours their vessels arc full
They use it to drink and to mix
with tapioca and maize. The treo
is from forty-five foot to 6ixty iu
height, aud has Iongalternatc leaves.
The Government of Venezuela sent
to the Paris Exposition several bot
tles of this milk, which has been
aualyzcd by prominent scicntilic
men. It contains sugar, casciuc and
other things found in cow's milk,
but is richer aud much more nutri
tious. Prof. Aughcy, of the Nebraska
State University, says of this same
Boil iu Nebraska: "It can never be
exhausted until every hill aud valley
which compose it is entirely worn
away. Owing to its remarkably
fine comminuted silica, of which the
bulk of the deposit consists, it pos
sesses uatural drainage iu the high
est degree, absorbing water like a
huge sponge, and, iu time of drought
sending up moisture from its great
est depths, by capillaiy attraction,
for the uceds of vegetation. This is
the reason why, over all the region
where the deposits prevail, the nat
ural vegetation and cultivated crops
arc rarclv dried or drowned out.
