Another evidence of tho richucss
of the soil of Nebraska is found iu
the fact of the number and great
growth of the native grasses, which
afford tho very best pasturago from
early spring until the month of No
vember. Those who have investi
gated the subject of the native
grasses claim no fewer than one
hundred and fifty species. Among
other varieties the blue-joint grows
everywhere iu the State except on
the low bottom lauds. In ordinary
seasons, and under favorable condi
tions its growth is from two and a
half to four feet, and often on culti
vated grounds it will grow to the
height of seven and ten feet. On the
up-lands, blue-joint grows in great
abundance and is greatly relished by
cattle. Buffalo grass now iu the
greatest quantity is found iu the
western half of the State. This, it is
claimed, disappears before cultiva
tion, but it is nature's provision of
food for grain-eating animals during
winter, when the animals are com
pelled to remain on the prairie, as it
retains its nutriment all the year
round. Among feed grasses that
grow abundantly in the State are
several varieties of bunch grass ; and
in the low lands a native blue-grass,
and what is known as the spangle
top, which makes an excellent qual
ity of hay.
It was a question among the first
settlers of Nebraska whether fruit
could be successfully growu in the
State or not, but finding the wild
fruits, such as plums, grapes, and
gooseberries growing iu abundance,
it was thought that apple orchards
might be cultivated with success.
So reasoning, the earlier settlers in
the eastern part of the Stato planted
their orchards and their first plant
ings failed, but they persevered and
the result has been a complete suc
cess. Nebraska fruits now compare
favorably with the best produced iu
other states. In 1871 Nebraska had
on exhibition at Richmond, Va., one
hundred and forty-six varieties of
apples, fifteen of peaches, thirteen of
pears, ono of plums, and one of
grapes, and was awarded the first
premium for the best collection of
fruit among all the States. The
fruits of Nebraska have been exhib
ited at Boston, Chicago aud at the
International Exhibition in 1S7G, the
judges awarding prizes for eight
varieties of pears, large, smooth aud
well colored, and for two hundred
and sixty-three varieties of apples,
the latter prize being for tho unusu
ally large number of finely growu
varieties. Instead of orchards flour
ishing only in the eastern part of the
State and near the Missouri river,
they do well away out ou the prairie
wherever nature's conditions of
growing fruit aro observed.
Assessment.
Attention is called to an adver
tisement of the Co. Commissioners
in to-day's Journal ; they, perhaps,
take the best method, under the ex
isting law, of equalizing the assess
ment for the county, which, of
course, is as far as the commission
ers cau go. The system is faulty.
It cau readily Be seen how, by as
sessing the same classes of property
at a higher rate in certain preciucts
than in others, the former would
bear an undue portion of tho county
taxes. The action of tho Commis
sioners tends towards an equitable
adjustment for the county, aud is
commendable in them. To tax
payers this is one of the most im
portant things to look after, and it
strikes us that the duties are so im
portant in their results that it would
be well for the proper authority,
when the time comes, to create the
office of County Assessor. Of
course, in that event, the samo ob
jection would hold as to the dif
ferent counties and in regard to the
Slate tax, but we would be nearer
the mark of distributing the burden
equally than we are at present.
Coal in Nebraska
We have never doubted thai, soon
or later, shallow or deeper, coal
would bo discovered in Nebraska in
paying quantities, and that our great
Slate would be supplied with ex
cellent fuel within her own exten
sive borders. The Lincoln Journal
of a recent date has the following
to say :
" Samuel J. Aloxander, M. M.
Ileuse, and Granville L. Shook have
forwarded to the Governor an
affidavit, for the purpose of securing
the premiums offored by tho State,
for the discovery of coal. They say
in their affidavit that they have dis
covered upon their premises, in
Thayer county, a vein of coal not
less than twenty-six inches in thick
ness, and of sufficient capacity to
pay to mine, and within paying dis
tance of the surface. The premium
offered by tho Stato for the discov
ery of coal within tho State, is
$4,000.
The Journal further has informa
tion from the vicinity in which the
discovery was made, saying that
there is no doubt. but the discoverers
will receive tho premium offered by
the State.
We had a long confab yesterday
with Mr. W. B. Hamblin, freight
agent of the B. & M. in this city, in
regard to freights, immigration, etc.
Mr. Hamblin informs us that immi
gration is coming in much earlier
than in preceding years, and that the
immigrants seem to be a better class,
having, generally, plenty of means
and a definite knowledge as to where
they will settle. He says the com
pany is running daily trains of
twenty-five cars, with seven and
eight coaches, which are always
well filled with passengers. Lin

It is always a pleasure to know of

and this is Paddock, every time.
Generous-hearted, magnanimous,
watchful, Mr. Paddock has made a
splendid record for himself aud the
State. Of the west, he is thoroughly
identified with her interests aud
imbued with her spirit, and this is
being recognized and appreciated
elsewhere, as well as in Nebraska.
A late number of Clarinda (Iowa)
Herald says :
"Senator Paddock of Nebraska is
a good representative of his State
and section. Ho is now looking
sharply after the interests of those
who go out to settle ou the public
lands, having introduced four bills
for protecting and regulating their

with the United States senatorship.
Mr. D. proclaims himself as enthu

the convention to select delegates to
tho national convention in Chicago
he says that the committee has de

Our friend Rosewater of Omaha

Rosewater was granted time to pre
pare his defence, but was required
to give bond for his appearance in
the sum of $300, Haskell insisting
that 14! should be $500. At a subse
quent hearing on the Kit li the court
rendered a decision discharging Mr.
Rosewater' from custody. Rose
