Herald. A few remarks from, the,
Doctor explaining why investigations
frequently fail to investigate would

The printing Bteal inquiry which
caused the Doctor's partner to sud

The safe of the firm of Ilcimrod &
Dorman, of Omaha, was blown open
the other morning by burglars. The
shock was heavy, entirely removing
the iron back of the safe and the three
eighths of an inch steel belts stripped
clean off their threads as the plate
was torn away. The shock awoke
Mr. Lang who was sleeping in the
second story of the building, some
distance away from the scene of the
explosion, who in attempting to get
from the building to give tho alarm
to the neighbors, slipped and fell to
the ground or pavement, a distance
of sixteen feet, breakiug his right
arm, causing several wounds on the
right side of his face and head and re
ceiving internal injuries which proved
fatal, resulting in his death the follow

some books, about $60 in money and
$100 worth of checks.
Words fail to express or describe
the dark night of death and devasta
tion to the citizens of Grinell and
Malcom, Iowa, by a dreadful cyclone
on the night of he 17th inst., which
seemed to spend the fury of its merci
less winds on these towns and their
inhabitants, killing, maiming and
burying the inhabitants indiscrim
inately to the number of one hundred,
and the half could not be learned.
The residence portion of Grinnell and
the buildings of the Iowa College
were completely demolished. The
loss to property will reach half a
million of dollars. Other towns,
farms, houses and property in its
course entirely mined. Leavenworth,
Atchison and St. Louis were visited
by the storm aud their citizens
awakened by the flying timbers.
Four young ladies were killed in a
convent near Leavenworth during the
storm.
Gen. John C. Fremont is living
quietly in New York, and it is said
has laid aside politics forever. We
believe that Gen. Fremont would
make a very respectable and good U.
S. senator, and that state wbich he has
selected as his future residence and
home should consider his just claimB
to that position and cheerfully award
it to Him without any very serious
political opposition. That he merits
something of the kind at the hands of
republicans, no one can doubt, and
that he is a man who approves the
right and dares, when necessary, to
maintain it. Had he selected a west
ern state for his home, gladly would
the republicans of such state have ex
tended to him the boou of U. S. sena
ator which would, in a pecuniary
sense, tend to render his venturesome,
sacrificing and useful life in bis latter
days more comfortable, cheerful and
happy. It would be nothing more
than an act of simple juBtice, which
no republican should refuse to with
hold from a deserving man.

Hew the Preacher Whipped hl
Wile.
BY A. HEINRICH.
There is an old saying somewhat to
this effect, viz: "if God wants to raise
anyone up, all saints take hold of the
ladder." But it is no donbt equally
true that if one is rolling down, ev
ery one will give him a kick.
A good old preacher, will call him
Jones, bad two church members, let
them be designated by A and B.
There was not a more zealous and ac
tive member in the church than B
his "amens," "that's so,'' "bless
the Lord," were very frequent and
fervent when father Jones preached,
but he did not take much notice of
passing events. A. was some
what of a wag. Meeting B. one
day he accosted him with a rather
mysteriouH mien. "Heard the news
already brother B ?" "No, what is
it?" "Father Jones goes to the peni
tentiary for a year. This with a rath
er sad countenance." "Impossible!"
exclaimed B. . Seen it in the pa
per, asserted A."
"What in the world has he done ?"
inquired B.
A simply shrugged his shoulder.
"Well, well, said B, shaking his
head. "I always thought there was
something wrong with the old fel
low." The fact was that father Jones had
been appointed chaplain of the peni
tentiary for a year.
But now for the wife beating min
ister. Some twenty years ago, in a
small city of the United States, a cer
tain church called a new minister.
He was young, zealous, active, elo
quent and piouB. Besides he brought
along with him a most amiable wife,
rather frail but lovely withal. That
young couple took the hearts of the
church members, and many outsiders,
by storm as it were. But not long,
very soon a sad change took place.
Everybody seemed to observe it. Tho
congregation dwindled down consid
erably. The young pastor saw that
something was wrong, but could not
possibly imagine what it was. He
observed suspicious, ominous glauces
at himself, expressions of pity when
anyone looked at his wife. A few
times he overheard remark like
these:
"Never should have thought that of
him."
"This must be attended to."
"Wonder if it is true?"
"That poor woman."
7 "What a pity," and the like, but it
was all a mystery to him.
How he would have been astonished
to hear Miss Spinster say, that his
wife had no doubt deserved it, though
the seemed to be ever so pious. And
deacon Hartstone declared that such
a fellow ought to be in the peniten
tiary instead of in the pulpit. The
f oung folks tittered aud giggled, and
tome of tho girls declared that if they
ever should get married, they would
never submit to such treatment, while
the young men asserted that they, the
girls, could not know what was in
.store for them.
The prayer meetings, at first so in
teresting, became rather languid and
cold, and only a few old brethren
kept up the interest a little by a few
formal prayers and addresses. Dea
con Watchful actually prayed that
the good Lord would deliver His
church from wicked men and hypo
crites in tho pulpit. Mrs. Determined
said, aloud in the sewing circle, that
if the brethren did not soon attend to
such a scandalous thing, why, they,
the sisters, would have to take it
in hand.
The good young pastor and his love
ly wife knew uothing at all of this
war of tongues going on behind their
back, but he was, however, soon to
be eulightened in regard to tho cause
of all the trouble. The officers of
the church had held a meeting and
despatched a committee to wait upon
him. They were to investigate the
matter, and if they should find him
guilty, they were to ask him to re
sign. And of his guilt, hardly any
body had a doubt. "Guilty?" of
what? Well he was charged with
having whipped his wife. A neigh
bor had heard her scream, had seen
her through the window as she ran
screaming from room to room, while
the minister, her husbaud, was strik
ing ber with a poker.
One evening the "brethren" called.
They found their pastor deeply
buried in his studies. With a good
deal of hesitancy they finally suc
ceeded in telling their story, and
were about to add the question,
whether it was true when the min
ister broke out into such a hearty
laugh that, grave as the matter had
seemed to be, they could not help
smiling too. The pastor then called
in his wife, and told ber, "Annie,
dear, the brethren have como to see
about my whipping you." She too
could not speak for a while but gave
way to laughter. After a little while,
however, the thing was explained to
the "brethren" who could not help
langhing too.
The whipping had happened in this
way : Mrs. Annie had had occasion
one evening to enter a closet where
some old trash was stored away and
where hardly ever anybody went.
Here a family of rats had made their
home, and being scared or angered
by Mrs. Annie's uninvitedly entering
their domicile, Mr. or Mrs. rat had
run, a terror ! under the ladies gar
ments. The writer is not aware
whether Mrs. Annie or the rat was
scared the most, but he knows that
the lady run to her best earthly frieud
i. e. to her husbaud, and that he,
seizing the poker struck at not his
wife but at her garments in order
to hit the rat and driving it out from
under them, and that was the origin
of the terrible story about the
preacher whipping his wife.
If everyone that had given to the
minister the customary kick while he
was rolling down, was as ready to
hold the ladder to raise him up again,
the writer of this is not informed.
California.
Loyalton, June Gth, 1882.
Editok Journal: Will you please
permit me, through your columns, to
once more hold a brief interview
with your readers, reminding them
of tho existence of California in gen
eral and Sierra Valley in particular?
Never was this locality marked by a
fresher beauty ; from the lichen tufts
of the loftiest peaks, to the tulip beds
of our lowest swamps, all is beautiful.
We have had an abundauce of rain
so far and as yet plenty of water for
irrigating purposes. As I walked
over our meadows yesterday, I was
reminded of New England, for every
where appeared the blossoms of the
tall red clover; it is Indigenous to
this soil and when the season is fa
vorable, grows very rank here,wbich
has a very beautiful blue blossom,
running up tall and stately. The-root
when cooked has a slippery taste and
flavor not entirely unlike slippery
elm. They are very much liked as
food by the Hiawatbas and Minneha
has of this coast I cannot but won
der at times what would have been
the result had one of these strange
children of the forest suddenly ap
peared before the illustrious Longfel
low (with all due respect to his dear
name) while penning the lines of the
much admired Hiawatha, with the
modest request of "Beeskit?" Just
at this writing a modern A'fcretta, of
some sixty summers, stands out in the
sun doing my washing. "Loose are
her jetty locks in wavy tresses flow
ing." She is not a brilliant conversa
tionalist, seldom speaking, but when
she does the rippling music of ber
voice invariably reminds me that she
" heap plenty like coffee and beeskit."
Have just returned from a visit to a
grand old home, where we were to
royally entertained that we weic
somewhat in doubt us to whether ne
really were lord aud lady or not,
uutil we reached homo and found our
harness waiting aud tho deep ruts of
hard labor even deeper for our ab
sence. The lord Of this manor wa,
many years ago, a Mississippi steam
boat captain, and is a gentleman of
the old school, which I wish to re
mark judging from my limited ob
servation, has many advantages that
it would seem wise in the men to em
ulate. He has been here thirty years
and over, and in ail that time has
never stepped aside from the path of
a true gentleman or ceased to remem
ber the respect due the Divine Ruler
of our destinies.
"Far from the storms that are wasting
the oceau,
"Nearer each day to the pleasaut home
light;
Far from the waves that are big with
commotion, .
Under full sail, and tho harbor in sight;
Growing old cheerfully, cheerful aud
brigut."
Aud 6hould any of my friends ever
wander out this way foot sore aud
weary, seeking rest for the body and
a meal to tempt the gods, I would
earnestly recommend them to call
upou this lord before coming to me.
Expect to attend a picnic to-morrow,
near the toll house aud just be
yond the old mill, where wo will
meet a general turnout of society,
viz., white men and women, chil
dren, dogs, snakes, wood-ticks aud
Piute Indians. We shall yawn, have
sick headache, listen to everybody's
business but our own, eat a lot of in
digestible cake, have a hot ride home,
and then boldly and uublushingly
declare that we had a good time.
Alas! for such lies. I sometimes
think I will be truthful, and yet, I
never wauted to be considered a
curiosity.
We are sorry to learn that the sea
son is backward in Nebraska and
hope there is yet time for good corn.
I threw a little corn to ray chickens
the other day and it still lies upon the
ground, as nothing in the fowl or au
imal line is acquainted with that arti
cle here, and I doubt if a mouse
would touch a kernel ; it ,is safe from
their ravages as you men who use
tobacco would be should you fall into
the hands of cannibals.
Yours truly,
Susie M. West.
