"'Ti- Sixty Tears Siucc."
The young traveler who bowle
along from one ocean to another in
a ''palace" car with all the luxuries
of upholstery and of the table sur
rounding him, fiuds it hard to con
ceive that, within the lifetime prob
ably of several of those around him,
the locomotive and the railroad was
in a far cruder state than the electric
light or the electric motor is at the
present day. The idea of the "tram
way" and the self-propelling engine
were "in the air" some time before,
but it was ouly Bixty years ago that
George Stephenson crystalizcd aud
condensed iuto a working machine
the vague and foggy suggestions
and purposes which many mechan
ical minds were already contem
plating. Within the sixty years
which thousands of men in Europe
and this country can easily recall,
the whole railroad system of the
civilized world has been born and
has grown to its present propor
tions. There arc at present nearly 250,
000 miles of railroad, representing
$17,000,000,000 of value, overrunning
every continent and many of. the
islands of the globe. And yet sixty
years ago the man to whose ingenu
ity, but more particularly to whose
foresight, comprehension and pa
tience all this is due, fought as for
his personal liberty and his life in
order to get permission to set his
locomotive upon its rails. Both the
Lords and Commoners opposed him
with might and main. His engi
neers aud surveyors were attacked
by mobs. lie was denounced as a
lunatic and a fool, as were all who
believed in and supported him. The
entire country rose against the pro
ject. He was sneered at aud ridi
culed. Prophecies of utter failure
were as plentiful as blockheads.
The great lawyers and scientific men
of the day laughed him to scorn.
They said the engine smoke would
kill tho birds aud the cattle, ruin the
fields, drive people mad with noise
and excitement, and, even if success
ful, would destroy the wealth of the
community theu invested in horse
flesh. His bills were thrown out of
Parliament, aud even after he was
permitted to build the Liverpool
aud Manchester road, including the
filling up of the shaking bog known
as Chat Moib, it was with great
difficulty that he persuaded the au
thorities lo try locomotive instead
of stationary engines. The civil en
gineers thomselvps were his ene
mies. He was not "one of them ;"
he never received nn engineer's edu
cation. Everything he proposed was
shown to be impossible. They said
au engine could not bo driven at
more than twelve miles au hour; it
would bo drivcu back by the wind ;
the smooth wheels would not "Into"
ou the rails; tho wheels would not
turn rouhd, and the machine would
blaud still. No engineer in his
senses would undertake to make a
railroad from Liverpool to Man
chester, etc., etc. Even after he had
succeeded, the British Government
neglected him until 6ome years
afterward Sir Kobert Peel offered to
create him a Knight, which he de
clined. Leopold, the King of Bel
gium, greatly honored him, and
ebowed a thorough appreciation of
his labors and character.
And all this happened in the boy
hood or girlhood of many a traveler
who shoots across states and conti
nents more easily than they lum
bered from town to town in the
rudest of vehicles only sixty years
ago.
How Tfccy Halt a Claim.
"I wish you would explain to me
all about ttm salting of claims that
I hear so much about," 6aid a meek
eyed tenderfoot to a grizzly old
miner who was panning about six
ounces of pulverized quartz. "I
don't see what they want to salt a
claim for, and I don't understand
how they do it."
"Well, you see, a hot season like
this they have to ealt the claim lots
of times to keep it. A fresh claim
is good enough for a fresh tender
foot, but the old miners won't look
at anything but a pickled claim."
"You know what quartz is, prob
ably?" "No."
"Well, every claim has quartz.
Somo more and some less. You find
out how mauy quartz thero are and
then put in so many pounds of salt
to a quart. Wild cat claims require
more Bait, because the wild cat spoils
quicker than anything else."
"Then, again, you often grub 6take
a man"
"Well, what is a grub stake?"
"Well, a grub stake is a stake that
the boys hang their grub on, so that
they can carry it. Lots of mining
men have been knocked cold by a
blow from a grub stake.
"What I wauted to say, though,
was this: you will probably at first
strike free milling poverty, with in
dications of something else. Then
you will no doubt sink till you
strike bed-rock, or a true fissure
gopher hole with traces of disap
pointment. "That's the time to put in your
alt. You can shoot it into the
shaft with a double barrelled shot
gun, or wet it and apply it with a
whitewash brush. If people turn up
their noses at your claim theu, and
say it is a snide, and that they think
there is eomething rotten in Den
mark, you can tell them that they
are clear off and that you have salted
your claim and you know it is all
right."
The last seen of the tenderfoot he
was buying a double-barrelled shot
gun and ten pounds of reck salt.
There's no doubt but a mining
camp is the place to 6end a young
man who wants to acquire knowl
edge aud fill his system full of in
formation that will be useful to him
as long as he lives. Laramie Boom

True love always makes a man
better, no matter who the woman is
who inspires it.
He who dooB good for good's sake,
seeks neither praise nor reward,
though sure of both at last.
What men want is not talent, it is
purpose; not the power to achieve,
but the will to labor.
We all know what our duties are,
but we dodge them; we all know
what our rights are, and we are
bound to have them.
A man has no more right to eay
an uncivil thing than to act one no
more right to say a rude thing to an
other than to knock him down.
A narrow minded Christian lead
ing a life of crooked prejudices and
doing it conscientiously makes more
atheists than all the infidel books
over written.
If you wish success in life, make
perseverance your bosom friend, ex
perience your wiso counsellor, cau
tion your elder brother, aud hope
your guardian.
The man whom you can treat with
unreserved familiarity, at the same
time preserving your dignity and
his respect, is a rare companion, and
his acquaintance should be cultiva
ted. Doubt has been tho great discov
erer. To questiou an old lie is usu
ally the first step toward a new
truth. It is au act of heroism to
dispute a moss-grown error out of
existence.
Profanity never did any man the
least good. No man is richer, hap
pier, or wiser for it. It commends
no ono to society ; it is disgusting to
refined people and abominable to
the good.
Men pray for holiness as if it were
something entirely apart from their
every day life, something that had
nothing at all to do with their con
duct in their domestic, social and
business relations.
Experiouco is the Lord's school,
and they who are taught by him
usually learn by tho mistakes they
mako that they have no wisdom,
aud by tho slips aud falls they meet
with that they have no strength.
Shorn of its high commerce with
the Unseen, the degraded mind
shrinks with fear from what its di
vine intuitions warn it must yet be,
and trembles to die, because it has
not found what makes it sacred and
lofty to live.
Thought it .tladeno lMflcrencc.
That tenon does not fit the mortise
by a quarter of an inch, said an em
ployer to a young carpenter who
had just begun to work for him.
"I thought for a garden gate you
would not bo particular, and it wo'd
make no difference," answered the
young man.
But it did mako a difference. It
made just the difference between the
young carpenter having a steady
summer job at good wages, and hav
ing his time unoccupied on bis
hands.
The employer found no further
fault ; but when the. gate was finish
ed he paid tho maker without an
other word and dismissed him. The
next day there was another man in
hiB place. He happened to be a man
who thought it did make a difference
how everything was done; he al
ways did his best; and kept his sit
uation to tho end of the season.
So it happens. Frequently somo
little thing which was not expected
to attract attention, is noticed by
some one to whom the excellence of
the work has commended itself, and
the man who has made painstaking
the rule of all his labor, is surprised
by a sudden and unlooked for acces
sion of good fortune. He has been
brought into note by some inconsid
ered trifle, which was well done
merely because it was his habit to
do everything as well as possible.
On the other hand, many a man
who is lamenting his ill fortune, and
don't know what to attributo it to,
owes it to some such carelessness in
tho way of doing his work as that
which doomed the young carpenter
to a summer of profitless idleness.
Men are by no means always told
by what particular act they are
judged ; but any good performance
te always liablo to make, and any
bad performance is always liable to
mar a fortune.
Every man in Lincoln with a
thimble full of brains must sec that
the building boom has gone as far
as the business can bo conducted
with safety. What should bo done
now, and with energy and sagacity
in the organization of manufactur
ing establishments. If Lincoln can
iot run a large smelting works let
her at least start smaller concerns
which will pay equally as well. The
man to-day who would talk ser

President WoolxeyN " Calm
View" oi'Tcmperance.
An interview, filling several col
umns, is published in the New York
Tribune, with President Woolsey,
of Yale college, in which ho says
that his views are " substantially'
the same as those of Chancellor
Howard Crosby ou the temperance
question. As to the question of ex
ample and motive, Dr. Woolsey
says : "My physician advises me, in
consideration of my age and state of
health, to tako two glasses of sherry
daily, but I don't do it. I think I
use about half a alass each day. But
if I thought any one within the
range of my influence was likely to
become a drunkard through my in
dulgence I should refuie to take
even that." To a young man com
ing to him for advice, be says he
would tell him not to allow himself
to have any drinking habits, but
would not advise him to pledge
himself not to driuk, but to abstain
from principle. It is not necessary
to regard drinking a glass of wine a
sin in itself, but every young man
should see that it is better for him
self, and especially for weak asso
ciates who may be under his influ
ence, to use no atrong drink, and
therefore he should decide not to
indulge. On the general question,
Dr. Woolsey says : "I do not think
the advocates of tho total abstinence
pledge are likely to reform the coun
try. They have advanced about as
far as they can go. It is better to
advocate reform on Dr. Crosby's
grounds than on theirs, I think. As
to the use of light wiues and ale, it
would be better for the nation if
they were introduced freely enough
to abate the consumption of fiery
liquors. Intemperance is an evil
which cannot be overcome at once,
and reformars must bo content to
regulate the sale of liquors so far as
their work relates to a certain part
of largo communities. A perma
nent temperance reform must como
through tho establishment of char
acter on just and right principles."
These are wrds of truth, sober
uess and experience. Omaha Re
publican. The world demands a practical
religion, a religion that men can take
'into their business with them, a re
ligion that keeps "from evil" while
following the plow, at work hi the
harvest field, behind the counter, in
the counting room, at home among
friends, abroad among strangers,
through the week, on Sunday, and
in every relation of life. People are
becoming more disgusted everyday
with a religion that can be put on
or ofT at will, like an elegant gar
ment too nice to be worn except on
Sundays or occasions when it is
uecessary to make a good impres
sion in order to sway a greater in
fluence for the promotion of selfish
interests. True religion does not
consist in long faces and sentimental
sighs, a Sunday help and a week
day hindrance; but it is a real, prac
tical delight producing smiles not
frowns, pleasure not pain, a higher
appreciation of life aud its respon
sibilities, and not the impression
that life is only a bore and tho more
we appear bored by it tho better
christians we appear to tho world.
Not sentiment, sighs and words, but
faith, love and good works, make us
a blessing to man and a fit subject
for heaven.
The Sun Cholera Medicine.
More than twenty years ago, when
it was found that prevention of chol
era was easier than the cure, a pro
scription drawn up by eminent
doctors was published in tho Sun,
and it took the name of "the Sun
cholera medicine." Our contem
porary never lent its name to a bet
ter article. We have seen it in con
stant uso for nearly two-score years
and found it to bo the best remedy
for looseness of the bowels ever yet
devised. No one who has this by
him and takes it in time will ever
have the cholera. We commend it
to all our friends. Even when no
cholera is anticipated it is an excel
lent remedy for colic, diarrhea, etc.

One of the strongest points in a lato
divorco petition in Kansas was the
allegation that during the twenty
six years of connubial bliss the hus
band had never built a fire, split a
stick of wood,or put up a clothes-line.
Tho reader will now be prepared for
tho allegation that followed, viz.:
"And tho plaintiff cannot recall a
kiss, a look of tenderness or a word
of affection addressed to her by the
defendant during tho last twenty
years." Of course not. The hus
band who avoids tho ax aud the
wood-pile, aud doesn't lake comfort
in stretching clothes-lines and build
ing fires, regards home as a boarding-house
and his wife as a bottle
waslier. Horse thieves are raiding several
of the counties around us. The

The fool-killer is badly needed in
Howard county just now. A few
weeks ago some sharper in New
York wrote to certain parties in
Howard county, and nude proposi
tions as near as we can gather as
follows : They ( the New York
sharpers) had $20,000 in counterfeit
money which they would exchange
at the rate of $10 for oue, a sample of
which they sent and was pronounc
ed by our Howard countv experts
as A No. 1. They immediately en
tered iuto negotiations and arranged
a meeting in Omaha, in the mean
time the parties here mortgaged
their farms for $2,000 two of them
for $500 each and one for $1,000 and
dispatched one of their number to
Omaha to complete tho arrange
ments aud get the "scads." The
uutui ji nit ijuooi won uii UUIU
and so was the "would be." The
exchange of $20,000 for $2,000 was
made all satisfactory the New York
er told our Howard man that he
thought it was too much money for
him to carry and advised him to
express it to Grand Island the advice
was accepted, the money put into an
envelope beforo his eyes, directed
and was carried to the office by him
self aud then took tho train for
Grand Island. In due time he called
at the express office for his package
which was delivered to him, he im
mediately proceeded to his room
and opened it whon to his horror il
contained but one $20 note which
was enough to carry him to his
home, a sadder but wiser man.
Those three men have been taught a
lesson that will no doubt last them
until they are carried to their long
home. It is strange that those men
should be gulled by such gauzy
tricks, as our newspapers are daily
exposing just such transactions.

made $100,000 in three years. There
