The Exchange Bank of Denver closed one day last week. It is said the bank was never strong, and the failure creates but little surprise. The other banks will not be affected. The general passenger agents de cided the other day at New Yark that hereafter a physician's certificate mast atcompiny every corpse carried, to prevent the spread of contagion. The shooting match the other day at clay-pigeons in Omaha between Carver and Bogardue resulted in the best shooting on record, Carver break ing 94 and Bogardus 90 out of 100. One Fayette B.

Sevebal Chicago firms are now running a corner in May corn, and the market is short from 30,000,000 to 40,000,000 bushels for May delivery. This is claimed to be the largest short interest in corn for any month iu the history of the board of trade. Mart farmers claim that plowing aa iach deeper occasionally on the cultivated lands of your farm is equal ia productiveness of crops to a laying of good manure. Certainly in the rich loamy soil of Nebraska it would work Ilka a charm oa the crops. The city ticket office at Couacil Bluffs of the lown pool was broken into the other night by thieves who stole 100 tickets over the Chicago Northwestern aad connecting llnae.

The bridal pair devested at I o'clock for Wilsalagtea oa the steamer Murcbli aaa, which bad baaa specially daoa Nevek before in the history of the state hae Nebraska had a representa tive in the Senate that has attracted the attention that Yen Wyck has, dur ing the past year. He not only at tracts attention and creates comment from the leading papers of the coun try, bnt he maintains "his position agaiast all opponents with such per sistence and ability as to compel recognition nnd to extort praise, even from unfriendly sources. His stand for free lumber is indorsed by the almost unanimous voice of the West. His efforts to compel the railroads to pay taxes on their lands was so palp ably just that opposition is found only in ambuscade. The stand taken with refereace to our relations to Chili nnd Para met with the prompt approval of the Senate, aud was at the same time a vindication of the farsec Ing policy inaugurated by Blaine while Secretary of State. His advo cacy of the bill to increase the pension of soldiers who had lost an arm or a leg was able and unyielding, and was crowned with success. His exposure of the shameless extravagance amounting almost to robbery of the department of justice in paying the special counsel in the Star Route cases, was aa act that required cour age, and it has met with a perfect chorus of npproval all along the line from New York to San Francisco. The Inter Ocean, a sheet unfriendly to Senator Van Wyck, devotes a long editorial to this subject, commending our Senator nnd saying that Brewster deserves all the censure expressed and implied in Van Wyck's remarks. Commenting on the same thing the Chicago Times says that it would be better for the country were there more such men in the .Senate. Our now eenier senator is content to be no man's echo or shadow, bnt boldly marks out a path of his own and fol lows it regardless of whom his oppos era may be. And it is safe to say that with the exception of a clique of poli ticians who Had it impossible to use him, his course meets the approval of a large majority of his constituents. Sutton Begister. Senator VanWyck is receiving considerable attention, not alone from the press of his own state but the country in general. He is the only representative Nebraska has ever had that gave the state a place on the po litical map of the country. So far as her .influence waa felt in shaping na tional affairs natil Van Wyck's advent into the senate, she might as well have remained a territory. The old gentleman is perhaps not as dignified as the sacred customs of the senate would demand, but the constituency which he represents is not particular ly partial to dignity anway. He is vigorous and aggressive, and whether or not ho U on the right side, he at least manifests a disposition to care fully guard the interests of his state end If there is anything to be said he says it. His splendid effort in behalf of free lumber has, with one or two small exceptions, met with general approval throughout the west. His recent arraignment of those responsi ble for the useless extravagance in the star route cases, meets with hearty commendation everywhere. It indi cates clearly that moral courage war for once more important than senato rial dignity. The politicians of Ne braska are after the old man's scalp, but there is work ahead for the man who captares it. He has placed him self in accord with the people who do the voting aad if an appeal is made to them they will not forget him. The fellows who are having senatorial seats put in their pants are wasting valuable time. Schuyler Sun. The Nebraska Signal speaks of the appointment of Jndge A. M. Post as haviag been made because he was attorney for the B. & M. R. R. Co., nnd because he is the brother of G. W. We are not informed aa to the motives actuating the governor in making this or any other appointment, but we do not believe those ascribed above are correct It is true that Mr. Post has acted aa attorney for the Company In several instances, but he has been in ao aenaa their political attorney, and deserving reward as such we have no notion that Judge Post has pur chased bis appointment by any such means. Iu the fierce fight that was made last fall everybody that could be induced to support the railroad wing of the republican party waa found laborlag therein, might and main, but Mr. Post could not be swerved from his purpose. Those who know the two men need not be told that A. M. is a tail to G. W'a. kite, either in a legal or a political sense, because it is too absurd. The truth Is that A. M. is a good lawyer, one among the best in the district, is diligent in business, a bard student, and personally well acquainted with the Governor, and we know of no reason why these motives should aot be attributed to Gov. Dawes, in place of other and sinister ones. , The government of Germany have prohibited the importation of Ameri can pork. They tried a prohibition against diseased pork (which was all very proper) but finding that Ameri can pork passed mnster, concluded something more effectual must be done to prevent the American trade from interfering with home produc tion. It would seem that in such a utilitariaa age as ours the only sure way to atop such palpable aad unjust discrimination would be for our gov ernment to select a branch of German commerce with this coaatry profita ble to citizaas of Germany, aay, toys and triakats, aad retaliate in kind "You kill my dog, I'll kill your cat." No sensible American could or would object to a prohibition agaiast dis eased meats, bat when it comes to saying it cannot pass the boundaries of the coaatry simply and only be eaaee it came from America, it be comes, our government to assert the rigbsa of hat citizaas ia the markets rfBhawttid. ASYLUM FOH lilti laSAXE. A Former mate Speak HU ztaiBs. The Jouknal does uot believe that Dr Mathewson is an inhuman wretch, or even an unkind mau, but it does believe that iu conducting the affairs of the asylum under his charge he has not been as careful as he ought in bis supervision of subordinates. To our mind the testimony in the late inves tigation showed this conclusively. We print the following letter written by an old citizen of this county who has the misfortune to be afflicted at times with mental disorder, and was placed in the asylum recently. The writer is well known to our older citizens. The letter is published in the interests of that unfortunate class for whom too much cannot be said or done,-aud whose loss is greater than can possibly befall any other class of human beings. Publicity cannot go too far in throwing light upon our Institutions of public charity, and in providing that just, honorable, high minded men only shall be employed therein, especially in the asylum for the insane: Veboka, Vt, March 4, '83. Albebt Arnold, Esq., Dear Sir : As you are at Columbus and I am here I think perhaps you will answer a few questions. I am anxious to hear from the last legislator, Mr. Frank, aud also the doiugs of the Republicans of Nebraska. I -havo thought of my friends in Columbus often since I left Nebraska, especially Mr. Peter Becker, who, I believe, was the means of my getting away trom that cursed asylum at Lincoln, sup posed to be a place to send patients that want and need attention ; also a doctor not some old snide of a doc tor, but an educated, intelligent aud God-fearing man. Now Al. I am talking the truth, not aa insane talk, but from the bottom of ray heart, hoping God in his mercy is with me and that he will deliver others as he did me from the torments of that great institution for the weary and worn of body and of mind. It Is not for me to murmur nor complain, as I was delivered and set free; but for the others who still suffer, I would to God I could deliver them. I must and will tell you the truth. If I had not surrendered and begged for mer cy I would not be here to write to you this most hearty plea for others who have the misfortune to be sent to Linc61n. I most heartily desire that some one have a talk with the Gov ernor of the state and inform him of the way the patients are treated at that hospital. I do not complain ot my own treatment ; as it is, I am con tent that I got away alive, but others did not get away but were made worse by the way they were treated by the attendants, who are fed on good food, not that warmed up food that we .patients had every day. I managed to learn to know bow things went while I was there. I watched and waited for my relief and God delivered me after four mouths in the best season of the year through har vest time. Oh! how I did look for some one to come to my relief. But God came at last through Peter Beck er. Now you may think me wild or a "little off" as we used to say at the hospital, but I am sound and well. 1 am uot going to tell you all, but I must state oue case : A man by the name of Wright, who came to ward 2d about the time I was put down there, was a sensible man and con versed freely with me about his troubles. He bad buried his wife and had left his children in bauds of strangers and wanted to get away but no hope was offered, and he mourned them all lost, but that was his trouble, while I told him I had left my family in the hands of a loving God. lie could not feel that way and tried one day to Qscape, was brought back and put into a straight jacket and left I cannot say how long, but be did not appear at the table for several meals ; but he came at last and was penitent and talked good and sound, but was still anxious about bis children at home ; and as I stood by the window looking out at some workmen and attendants who were having their fuu at the back stairs, he walked by ono of them at the door and started to come to the end window where I stood and got between the register and the door and this attendant turn ed around and struck him one blow under the ear and he, white, fell to the floor and lay and quivered like an ox stricken with an ax in the head. Then he was dragged to his room and put into the straight jacket and kept there for the balance of the day. He would not eat after that and wanted them to finish their work of slaugh tering, and got worse and worse until I left and I heard the doctor say "He is no better and never will be." How many cases I could relate I will not say, but my paper is used up before I can say one word abont myself and my treatment, but before I close I muat say I was contented to stay if I lived 1 knew I wonld be taken away sometime and I did not murmur. But while I bad three broken ribs L had to sleep with a great surly farmer who would not allow me to move in bed nor to get up to use the rubber vessel, but wonld pound and beat me every night, while I suffered not only with pain but with vermin on my body and cockroaches in my room. Still I murmured not nor complained and would not if they had carried me through the keyhole or, as I saw many, to the Potters field. Now, Albert, what I have written is truth and who is to blame? Am I to blame for being overworked and nervous and sent away, or is it those who caused my troubles? The doc tors got their pay, as I saw the bills in print, but I took my pay at the hospital at Lincoln. I want to be remembered to your good wife and also to the boys, as you know I never forget a good friend who always treats me kindly, and also to all good people of Columbus. My wife and daughter seud love to you all. Chbib Whaly. Sittino Bull and one hundred and forty of bis followers under military surveillance at Fort Randall, express a desire to join the remainder of the Uncapapas Sioux at Standing Rock and it is understood that the war de partment and Indian bureau will ac cede to the change, owing to the good conduct of the Indians during the past winter. We are glad to learn that these savage warriors are getting to be good Indians. Fifteen Indians were repprted sick with small-pox last week at Poach Springs, near the Atlantic and Pacific railway. Gen. Crook has telegraphed the Commissioner of Indian affairs that the Indians need something be side medicine. They have nothing to eat, and their efforts to get somothlBg may inoculate the whole eoutrj, Ella T. Schick, Couoly Suneriu- teadeut of Nemaha county, has be come uoted among educators iu the state for her wise, practical sugges tions on school matters ; from a recent column communication to the Nemaha Granger, full of excellent food for reflection, we clip the following par agraph : "You had better have five months of school in a neat, comfortable house furnished with plenty of good black board, an unabridged dictionary and an earnest, wide awake teacher, than teu mouths in a dirty dilapidated house with a miserable excuse for a black-board, no dictionary and a teach er who merely keeps school the re Snired number of hours necessary to raw the monthly pay. If you can sustain nine months Ju school as it should be sustained, Vote for it. If you cannot, vote for as many as you can and make a success of It. Let your motto be 'A good school what we do have !' " It would bo a little refreshing to see the functions of public officials occasionally exercised In a wholly business-like manner, for example: it wonld seem that in a government "of the people, by the people, for the peo ple," if, iudeed, we have such a thing among us or over us, that the public functionaries might be selected out of the body of the. citizens, as, for in stance, secondly: Idaho, for some reason wanted a governor; why not find an Idaho mau aud appoint him ? Why should it be necessary, advisa ble or expedient to go to Iowa? This is a custom which, it seems to the Journal, would be "more honored in the breach than in the observance," and for which there never was any good foundation. A new method of grafting grape vines is highly recommended iu some quarters and particularly by the American Agriculturist. The method ia to take a good strong branch or cane of vine, or even a whole young vine when a change of fruit is desired, and 'whip the graft in the usual way. The vine is then covered up in the soil as near the roots as possible, leav ing above ground only a bud or two of the graft. It is well known how quickly a layer will make a bearing vine, as it has the advantage of the parent roots as well as the roots it produces. Vineyards may in this way be quickly changed to better varieties. Lady Florence Dixie of London, while on a stroll in the grounds ad joining the palace one day last week, was assaulted by two men disguised in women's clothes knocked down and stabbed, but her life was saved by the knife striking her steel corsets and glancing off.' from her body. In defending herself both hands were badly cut. Under the excitement from the assault and stabbing, she swooned away but she remembers that the men spoke no brogue and that hor St. Bernard dog dragged oue of them backward. She says she should bu sorry to attribute the out rage to the Land League. A cheap way of starting an orchard in Nebraska is recommended in the American Agriculturist for April, and consists in buying root-grafts. They can be obtaiued from almost any of the Western nurseries. They con sist of a root, or part of one, grafted with a cion of two or three buds. These are prepared during the win ter, packed in boxes of sand, and kept in the cellar until they can be set out iu the spring. ,Tbe nurseryman grows these two or three years and then sells them as trees. The farmer bad just as well purchase the root-grafts and grow tbem himself, as they come very much cheaper. Miss Amy Baunes has bad charge of the cooking school in Wor cester for the past two years, and has proved herself, without exception, the most acceptable person who has presented the subject. Aside from her excellent preparation under Miss Parloa, and her training at the Boston school, she possesses the skill of a teacher combined with pleasing man ners and those qualities which we demand In the true woman. She ought to make a great success of her profession. Owen Wilson, of Osceola, was assaulted the other evening in Omaha by two mulattos and when thrown from the sidewalk the two men fell upon him aad wrenched bis watch and chain from him. At this critical time his friend E. N. Smith from the same place drew bis revolver and fired into the robbers who were frightened and ran away. It is for tunato his friend came to his relief as he had concealed on bis person $500 which his assailants would have secured. The department of agriculture at Washington has been Investigating the consumption and distribution of corn and wheat in the United States. It makes the stock of corn in hand on the 1st of March, '83, about 580,000,000 bushels, or 8G per cent of last year's crop. Taking all the states together, the increased stock is about two per cent The seven surplus coru states, from the Ohio west to Nebraska and Kansas inclusive, have 33 per cent of the crop on hand. Notwithstanding the rejection of S. P. Mobley for postmaster at Grand Island by the senate, Valentine promptly re-nominated bim for the position. Mobley would no doubt make' an honest official ; the fight, however, arises from too fact that Valentine promised the position to another man. Schuyler Sun.
