Hi:. Editor: I am happy to in
form you lhat the long looked for
shower made its apperance on Satur
day afternoon, and this ruoruinsr an
other one blessed us, greatly refresh
ing the parched earth, and now the
pumpkins and other vines -are hold
ing out their leaves, looking fairly
6miling with the dust washed from
their faces ; we hope the longdrought
is broken, at least those do who are
through haying; what the state of
mind would be of those who are in
the midst of large contracts for them
selves or others, should rain become
abundant, I will leave you to im
agine. The harvest was better than many
feared, one man who put in thirty
acres of wheat aud thought at one
time he would have nothing, thresh
ed out fceven bushels aud a peck;
another, from twenty-five acres,
threshed three bushels.
The 'hoppers, last fall, passed thro'
here diagonally, leaving their eggs
by millions; on cither side of their
course the crops arc good, yielding
& fair average with other years.
The promise of a corn crop is mag
nificent, a few more weeks, without
enemies, and we arc sure- of it, even
uppn the replanted fields.
Several of our residents have be
come honajtdc land owners recently,
Messrs.'J. A. Fulton, Isaac Allison,
"W. H. Allison and Samuel "Weaver
having made final proof upon their
homesteads.
"May their taxes never crow loss.'
The Black IIMs fever has brokeu
out quite badly in our midst, owing
to the return of Mr. Isaac Allison
from those regions for his family.
Hearings Eiich glowing accounts of
present prosperity and future possi
bilities that several families have
been very tlctirous of accompanying
him to this Eldorado ; all who wish
to do so will not be able to getaway
at present, but may follow; he leaves
next week, accompanied by Mr. Val
entine, of Leigh, and his entire fam
ily, including his son-in-law. Mr.
Perry.
Messrs. "White aud Danforth have
bought J. A. Fulton's interest in the
threshing machine, and arc now out
with J. Brown.
Mrs. White and children leave for
the cast next week if they recover
from their illness.
Do not bo alarmed at so many
leaving; there is no danger of our
becoming depopulated, there are still
enough left to raise grain to supply
the Stato of Xebraska.
There has been an unusual amount
of sickness during August, but they
have nearly all recovered.
There was a pleasant social gather
ing last" Thursday evening at the
house of Mr. W. X. McCandlish,
composed entirely of relations, of
whom there are twenty-nine in Cres
ton ; they assembled to meet a. sister
of Mrs. McCandlish, Mrs. Ezra Mil
lard, of Omaha, her son, a recent
graduate, of Cornell College, two
daughters, and Mrs. Hopkins, of
Fremont. The evening was- spent
in pleasant conversation, vocal and
instrumental music. Yours truly,

lias: Scandal.
Mu. Editor: I was surprised to
read -the article in your paper of the
20th upon the uufortunate Sprague
Conkling case; after carefully read
ing the testimony of all concerned
in papers from many of the eastern
cities, I cannot sec tbere is anything
in the whole affair to call forth such
remarks.
"Why is it that when publicity is
given to family difficulties all the
sympathy is given to the man, all
the opprohium, distrust and calumny
cast upon the.woman ? It makes no
difference how pure aud nobJe her
life has been, how she has spent
herself for her husband and children
(the moro elevated and refined the
more pleasure is found in casting
mud at her) the moment a breath of
infelicity reaches the public, of
course there is but one side to the
question and sho imisl be all to
blame; in this case has she not
suffered enough from a husband
whose life has becu given to drunk
enness and debauchery, whose brain
is crazed by these aud other causes?
Can you not imagine the hours of
chagrin aud mortification her proud
spirit has endured from his erratic
coarse, both in public and private,
agouies which God alone has wit
nessed? and now when she is pur
sued by a blind jealousy, cruel as the
grave, must the whole world join in
the hue aud -cry?
My brothers! I warn you be
ware; you also have wives and
daughters who are not yet over the
rough places of life. The greed for
gossip, this desire to paddlo iuto the
filthy pools aud stir them to their
depthB, seems to be sadly on the
increase. Let u3 endeavor to stem
the tide, instead of casting our in
fluence in its favor.
A "Woman.
Caty CemmifcsisHcrs:
Ed. Journal z The Platte Yaltey
Democrat, of August 22d, goes to
the trouble of propounding law, aud
directing the Couuty Board what to
do in reference "to re-districting
counties, and,cspecially so that Co
lumbus could have, as he claims it
should have, a representative on the
board. All proper enough, but is
not Columbus represented now, and
as well, perhaps, as at any former
time in the history of Platte county?
At least I think so. Now, the editor
of the Democrat seems to think that
commissioners are elected Jy the
vole of their respective districts, and
that Columbus should or could elect
her own candidate, but I beg leave
to differ; he will see, if he reads the
law, that each commissioner is elect
ed from each of said districts by the
qualified electors of tho whole coun
ty, " the 6arae as other county offi
cers." Columbus had her candidate
last fall, but her candidate got left,
and it has been a very irritating sore
to the Democratic party. The county
did not endorse their choice, allho'
thej were arrayed against the IJe
publicau nominee. The Democratic
party did all they could to coerce
the count' in the choice of commis
sioner. I belicvo that the present
board will do aud does all that the
law requires of them to the best of
their knowledge and belief. If it is
their duty to re-district the county
this fall, which I doubt, I feel sure
it will be done, and would have been
done if neither Mr. Crites or Mr.
Wentworth had moved to Nebraska.
But perhaps they are of those who
believe that the whole Board of Com
missioners are to be re-elected this
fall, and thereby gain a uew "deal."
Citizen.
Cuaiigfcs In The Moon
Evidence of change may by dis
covered which can be explained.
The moon is exposed to the action
of heat other than that which per
vaded her own frame at the time of
her first formation. The sun's heat
is poured upon the moon during
tho long lunar day of more than a
fortnight, while during the long
lunar nights a cold prevails which
must far exceed that of our bitterest
arctic winters. "We know from the
heat-mcasurements made by the
present Lord Uossc, that any part of
the moon's surface at lunar midday
is fully 500 degrees Fahrenheit hot
ter than the same part two weeks
later at lunar midnight. The alter
nate expansions and contractions re
sulting from these changes of tem
perature cannot but produce
changes, however slowly, in the
contour of the moon's surface. Prof.
Newcomb, indeed, considers lhat all
such changes must long since have
been completed. But 1 cannot see
how they can be completod so long
as the moon's surface is unevcu, aud
at present there are regions where
that surface is altogether rugged.
Mighty peaks and walls exist which
must one day be thrown down, so
unstable is their form ; deep ravines
can be seen which must one day be
the scene of tremendous laud ships,
so steep and precipitous are their
sides. Changes such as these may
still occur on so vast a scale that
telescopes may hope from time to
time to recognize them. But changes
such as these arc not volcanic ; they
attest no lunar vitality. They are
antecedently so probable, indeed,
while volcanic changes are ante
cedently so unlikely, that when any
change is clearly recognized in the
moon's surface, nothing but the
most convincing evidence could be
accepted as demonstrating that tho
change was of volcanic origin and
not due tothe continued expansion
and contraction of the lunar crust.
Proctor in Belgravia.
Purlly.
There are hints of an existing con
dition of affairs in this country,
given in recent revelations, which
equal in immorality the slate of
Borne in latter days of the Empire,
or Paris before the fall of the Bour
bons. Yet the mass of the people,
we contened, are decent, are God
fearing; the instinct of the Ameri
can woman is to be modest aud pure.
Human naluie is no coarser or less
reverent than in the days of our
grandfathers. Our literature is pur
er than it was then; there are a
thousand avenues into which the
human mind can turn science, art,
knowledge of every kind to divert
it from gross animal passions. "Why
do these passions then dominate our
social life, like the seven devils who
found the house swept, garnished,
and entered in to take prosessiou ?
We believe one reason to be that the
barriers arc lowered in domestic
life to allow them to come in. Mat
ters are discussed in the presence of
young girls which once matrons
blushed to mention. There is a
familiarity with voice, an acceptance
of it as a matter of course, shown in
our newspapers, in our ordinary
talk, iu our pulpits, which debases
the minds of the young. The very
air is poisoned in which our chil
dren live. Xo legislation, no single
reform can touch this disease any
more than it could cure the malaria
which slays its victims by the thous
and. It is for each family, each
clergyman, each mother to clean
and sweeten their own household.
Whatever difficulties you have to
encounter be not perplexed,but thiuk
only what is right to do in the sight
of Him who seeth all things and bear
without repiniug, the result.
Iu the dark we arc most apt to be
frightened; the clearer sight we
have of the sovereignty aud power
of heaven, the less we shall fear the
ca!amitiesTf this earth.
Sensibility is like the stars; they
can lead only when the sky is clear.
Beason is the magnetic needle
which guides the ship when the stare
are wrapt in darkness.
Au Auger Which Bores Square
Holes.
To send a verdent youngster after
a drill wherewith to make square
holes is one of those lime-honored
workshop jokes, the freshness and
originality of which is perennial
with succeeding generations of per
petrators. But the laugh is uow
over, or at least on the side of tho
victim ; for incredible as it may ap
pear, this apparent impossibility
has been accomplished, and iu a way
so simple and easy that any oue may
prove the fact for himself. As may
be supposed, the invention excited
more genuiue astonishment among
the mechanics gathered at the Paris
Expositiou than any of the other
wonders there displayed. There
was a constant crowd surrqunding
the inventer, Avatchiug him bore
hole after hole square, and puzzlc
ing over the very simplicity of tho
provokingly simple solution of the
problem.
All that is required is an ordinary
hand drill-stock. A stationary one
with a chuck below for holding the
work, the inventor, Mr. James Hall,
of London, uses ; but he says a com
mon brace will answer "anything,
in fact, will do that will properly
hold the drill."
The tool itself is the usual form
of three square drill, so that it will
be seen that no special apparatus at
all is required. Clamp or chuck
this drill in its holder so that "it will
wabble," and you have the whole
secret. Instead of making a round
hole, as it undoubtedly will if tight
ly grasped, wheu loosely held it
produces a square one. Why it
should act thus at first to ail appear
ances an impenetrable paradox, and
even after the rationale is discovered
it scarcely seems quite clear.
Got.
"I got on horseback within ten
minutes after I got your letter.
"When I got to Canterbury I got a
chaise for town, but I got wet
through before I got to Canterbury,
aud I got such a cold as I shall not
be able to get rid of in a hurry. I
got to the Treasury about noon, but
first of all got shaved and dressed.
I soon got into the secret of getting
a memorial before the "board, but I
could not get an answer then. How
ever, I got intelligence from the
messenger that I could most likely
get an answer next morning. As
soon as I got back to my inn I got
my suppor and got to bed. It was
not long before I got to sleep.
"When I got up in the morning I got
my breakfast, and then got myself
dressed that I might get out iu time
to get an answer to my memorial.
As soon as I got it I got into the
chaise, aud got to Canterbury by
three, and about tea time I got home.
I haye got nothing more to say, so
adieu."
Tho above Professor Hart, in his
"Composition and Rhetoric," quotes

The Art of Ifotcning.
Persons who talk arc always in
danger of talking too much ; the
better thoy talk, the greater the
danger. Nearly all men and wo
men who gained the reputation of
eminent conversationalists have
been little else than monologists,
aud monologue is as deadly & foe to
conversation as incurable stupidity.
"We get tired, after awhile, of the
most eloquent speech if it comes
from one mouth, and wq inwardly
pray for what has been aptly called
a few flashes of silences. How
many brilliant people there are in
society whom all their acquaint
ances fear on account of their gift of
utterance! Everybody dreads to
broach a topic, lest the sparkling
talker should exhaust it and his
hearers aud still be talking on. The
passion for speech, like other
passions, grows by indulgence, and
at a certain 6tage of developcraent
becomes so morbid as to require
neither sympathy nor response.
Exchange.
An Aerial Phenomenon.
Of all the :erial phenomena with
which the Northwest has been vis
ited this summer, perhaps the one
that struck New Ulm, Minn., last
Snuday evening caused the greatest
scare. The citizens of New Ulm, as
well as those of the neighboring
town? of Renville county, had just
supped, when the air suddenly
grew hot not with the heat of sum
tner'eveuing sultriues?, but with that
of fire. So intense was the heat
that people at first thought their
houses ablaze, and afterward that
some tunnel communicating with
the realm below had blown out its
terrestrial end. The blast of air
passed from south to north, aud last
ed about two minutes. Those who
expected that the prophecy about
the destruction of the world by fire
was being fulfilled were soon en
joying a cool breeze that followed
the remarkablv hot one.
A three year old little girl at

ined when the child added, "And
you'd heller keep an eye on mam
ma too."

Italian Girls.
The girls of Italy do many things
our young ladies would never think
of doing, and they leave unlearued
certain accomplishments which only
the very poorest American fair ones
pass by. The Italian bride makes
her own outfit, and as the trosseau
consists of six dozen of everything,
being intended to Inst twenty-five
pears, and must be embroidered and
frilled, the task is not an easy one.
But they lake their time to it, ocupy
iug two years in getting it in shape,
and all the time tho work is going
on the lovers arc courting. The
husband gives the dresses, shawlB,
everything, in fact, but the under
clothing. Italian girls do not learn
to sing, draw, and play on the piano.
These are left to the people who
earn their liviug by them. But they
are taught to sew, cook and iron.
