Soon the dandelion, that 41 Dear common flower, that grows by the way, ' Fringing the dusty road with harm- k'h! gold," for which I have so often looked in vain upon tho prairies, will'eoon be bestrewing the liort,'Hweet grass. From what I hear, it will not do for the .Toitkn'al to reprove its Genoese contemporary much longer tor being so indiscreet as to mention the rainless skieB of Nebraska. A youthful memher of my family some time since cluuilnhly proposed that wc should barrel up some of our puperabounding rainwater for prai rie use. If it were not for high railroad ratec this might be'a mutu al good. It would be o, at least, if the Ohio poII were not fo much more craving of moisture thau the NehrHbkn soil. Rut I hope that ere thifi i caches you Divine Providcnco will have sent a plentiful rain, that will have rendeied nil my condol ences impel tiuent. The "Grant boom," somehow, &penH rather to hang tire. Ohio i a pretty serious- dog in the way. And the remembrance-i that repub lics are only too apt to be " over weighted by their. Presidency,' is a still more cpriotis one, which no amount of pooh-poohing will blow away. Let pitronago he sternly re stricted by a genuiuoand permanent reform, and it will not matter much if a Pivsiue.-M i elected twenty times. Hut until then I think the nation will show its mind that once is safer than thrice. Blaine" is; not open to that objec tion. Unfortunately, however, he i open to a gieat many other objec tions. Rut if the Republicans really want, not meiely to nominate their man, but to elect him, why should they not nominate a man who, like Senator Edmunds, will certainly draw every vote that is not already Mire for thc-'other Hide? Wc Inde pendents, I know, are troublesome lellows, and if the Stalwarts could only make a clean sweep of us, they might, I dare say, nominate- Uab cock himself, without any uncom fortable remonstrances. But as long as we are let to live, we have votes, all the same as the editor of the Inter -Ocean himself. And when we ask, not that one of our number thould be nominated, but that a man should be nominated, whom, like Edmunds, a J.epnblican of the lie publicans, we shall count it an honor to support, both reason and pru dence suggest that wc should be listened to. And a3 to his State, what one has deserved well of the Republican party, if Vermont ha not? Certain silly people about hero smell the Pope so strong in every thing, that they actually object to Sherman on the ground that his sister-in-law is a Roman Catholic As if he chose his brother's wife for him I I should like to have seen him volunteering snch an office tor our Anglo-Saxon Tccumeeh. But in truth, au unreasoning, and almost ferocious hatred and dread of the Catholics i3 spread through the Re publicans of this whole region, in good part through the intemperate bigotry of the Cleveland Leader. The editor of thip, it is true, has suftored one of the deepest of do mestic wrongs at the hands of those unscrupulous zealots who "compass f-ea and laud to make one proselj te," regardless of every principle of frankneps or honor, or parental right. Wc can ympathizc .fully with him in his burning indignation at snch an outrage, and its perpe trators. But no man hab a right to allow his private griefs to poison his public utteraucea. If they are irpneral o a"' thing tho absence of timber gives to it the appearance of waste and bar renness to those who are uccu6tomed to live in a timbered country. Tim ber of every kind commou to this latitude can be cultivated ou the prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa ter courses and river blulTd a large quautity of trees are generally found "rowing in great luxuriance. Among the varieties found in such localities are cottonwood, box-elder, buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory, oak, willow, poplar, sycamote, wal nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs include common juniper, pawpaw, prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin dle tree, plnm, currants and goose berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa lo berry, mulberry and hazlenut. Cedars are found ou the islands of the Platte, and along the Loup, and on the Niobiara there is a large quantity of pine. But the interesting point we want to make is the fact that all this variety of trees will glow and flour ish ou (he prairie, and that as much timber as may be needed by each farmer can be rated on Ids farm. It is not a little surprising to know that the early travelers, and, among others, (Jen. Fremont, should have formed the opinion that the prairies of Nebraska were a sandy desert, unsuited for farming purposes, when m these times it 1ms been examined by competent judges and pronounc ed without any hesitation to be a region hieh is to be the great grain and slock -producing area of the continent. Men don't make bread of sand, and fhe don't, as a general thiu, settle in such localities. The Tnited States cover 2.'! degrees of latitude;, a wa to the fro7en north, and down to the semi-tropic south. With all this choice, from the be ginning of western settlement the great current of movement has been within a central belt five or six de grees iu width, and nearly corres ponding with the latitudinal length of Illinois, which lies between 30 degrees, 5G minutes and i'21 degrees. This is the belt in the United States in which industry obtains the most certain and highest rewards. It is temperate in climate and a man can work up to his best notch. The land is fruitful, and bears in great abundance those products which are necessaries of life, and which there fore have a steady commercial value. The population of Nebraska in the beginning of 185(5 was 10,716, and at the close of 1873, 259,912, which was a twcnty-five-fold increase in twen ty years. Corn in Nebraska is most bounti ful in production; with fair cultiva tion the yield is from 50 to GO bush els per aero. "Wheat from 15 to 25 bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to 40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels. Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A couutry which is adapted to the raising of corn; small grains; good for grass aud hay, and hat at all times a fa vorable climate, must be a good location for stock - raising. Live -stock is in great demand the civilized over, and It is in live stock the far mer finds a great deal of his wealth. It has been demonstrated among the Nebraska farmers that mixed farming is the mo3t profitable, there fore every farmer should combine grain and stock raising. In fact every farmer that has carried cattle upon his farm and handled them with judgment for any length of time is now enjoying the rich profits ot his investment and labor. Look around among your neighbors and in every ease where money has bceu invested iu stock and handled with care it ba bi ought the largest in crease iu dollars and cents to those who have invested. And thero is room iu Nebraska for hundreds ot thousands more fanners.

E o O u Thoao of you who conclude to he of the rore of savins farmers, will bo great as to have disturbed Hip keep no idle pnople about you, nor balance of his mind, he should retire from the editor's chair. And that the balance of mind of this gentle man is disturbed, is sufficiently clear from the tact that lately, when a professor of Obcrlin Theological Seminary, in a public address, ut tered a few friendly words of our Rotuau Catholic fellow-citizens, and fellow -Christians, the Leader fell foul of him, with the inquiry, Is there a Concealed Jesuit in tho Fac ulty of Oberlin Seminary? The amusing absurdity of this attack will be more evident when we con sider that the professor in question only said what nine-tenths of the educated Congregational ministers thronghout the country would say. We shall next be asked whether the Pilgrim Fathers wore not Jesuists in disguise. The Cougregational ministers of America are quite a3 competent to take care of the inter ests of Protestantism, and of Christ ianity too, as the Cleveland Leader. Bishop Gilmour, however, is un derstood to be a man who so mixes politics and religion, not as they ought to be mixed, but as they ought not, that he caunot complain if be has provoked the enemy to carry the war into Africa, or into Itomev Hawkete. idle land, nor idle horses; keep everything at work, put half your laud in grasiygraze with cattle, milk as many cows as .your help can eas ily mauage, save and feed well all your calves. Do not keep too many hogs, substitute a few sheep, so that you will get family woolcn3 and summer mutton cheap; raise fall colts from your work-mares; have winter grass for open weather, and shelter for all animals; feed some roots to young things in the barn, and oat meal aud apples to your family the year round; this will keep down the docter's bill to reas onable proportions; consult old in telligent farmers as often as you can : vou don't know it all.

TJie ladies give as a reason for marrying for money, that they now seldom find anything else in a roan worth having, " In Lynchburg, Va., a distinguish ed member of the bar, appealing to the court for the discharge ot his client, wound up with the statement that, if the court sent him on further trial, a stain would be left on his character that could not be washed off by all the soap that could be manufactured from the ''pondrous carcass of the Commonwealth's at torney." To tbiB the pondrous attorney replied that, while he "deemed it foreign to the case at the bar, he desired to advise the court, if they thought it advisable to boil his body into soap, they should look to tne opposite counsel for the con centrated lye ont of which to uauke it."
