A singular fact was noticed the
other night in Chicago. At a certain
hour all who had occasion to UBe the
telephone found it vibrating to mu
sical tones. Private and public tele
phones alike were affected, and even
those of the police and fire alarm
instruments. The music was subse
quently explained by a telegraph
wire from the stock yards, passing
near the telephone wires, oonnected
with the harmonic system, and that
tunes were being played over it, and
that the telephone wires took up the
sounds by induction.
Advices of a recent date from Col
ombo, the capital city of the Island of
Ceylon report vicious riots having
occurred between Buddhists and
Catholics, the CatholicB seriously ob
jecting to the religious processions of
Buddhists, in which was carried a
crucifix surmounted by a monkey.
This latter combination, which the
Papists held to be an insult to the
Catholic religion, brought about a
violent contest in the streets, which
was only stopped by the vigorous
efforts of troops who dispersed the
rioters and restored peace without
bloodshed
The remains of Miss Amelia
Church, the young lady who disap
peared from Norfolk about December
the 29tb. were found about five miles
from Stanton, Neb., one day last
week. Three letters were found on
her person one of them to her father,
in which she stated that she was on
her way to Ogdenaburg, N. Y., and
for him to meet her. She said she
was hungry and cold. It is stated
she was laboring under a fit of insan
ity before she left Norfolk. About
$28 was found scattered near her.
Her remains had been buried under a
snow bank. A portion of her body
was eaten by wolves.
C. M. Millett, a grocer in Hast
ings, while passing to his home the
other night was halted by three men
and commanded to hold up his hands.
He at once told them to help them
selves to what they could find on his
person, and was informed they want
ed him and not his money, and com
manded him to march on, with one of
the men in front and two in the rear.
They marched him in the direction of
bis own home and just as he passed
his next neighbor's lot, he saw bis
gate open, through which he sprang
and started at full speed for the house.
One of the party opened fire at him
with a revolver, the ball striking him
in the back, ranging upward and for
ward through the lungs, and is sup
posed to have lodged in the stomach.
Mr. Millett has since died, and a short
paragraph in another place trivea sub
i sequent proceedings.
The Mormon re-union.hold at Eirt
land, Ohio, on the 5th inst., was some
what interfered with on account of the
bad weather, but religious services
were held and a fair number attend
ed. Rev. Joseph Smith, jr., president
of the. re-organized church of Latter
Day Sainta was present and spoke.
He gave a brief outline of the purpose
of the re-uuion, the condition of the
church, the outlook for the future, &c.
Rev. Gurley made an address. Speak
ing of the Utah Mormons, he said
they were dissenters from the original
church. He said they had practised
the meanest things that ever disgraced
the world. He said polygamy was a
curse as black as Egyptian darkness.

Ed." Journal : The County Alli
ance at a meeting held at Platte Cen
ter the 17th of March, adopted the
following resolutions :
Resolved, That we, the County Alli-ance-of
Platte county do respectfully
ask the Honorable Board of County
Commissioners to more fully explain
tbrongh the county papers the purpo
ses of the seventy-one thousand dol
lars levied for county purposes or
expenses.
I am inclined to think the County
Commissioners will pay no attention
to this important resolution, for the
reason that there is no such levy made.
The Alliance Is a' little mixed up;
they have got the January estimate of
expenses twisted into a levy of taxes,
when the levy cannot be made till
June of each year, and then the com
missioners will cut under the estimate
all that they judiciously can.
The next resolution is more to the
purpose, and seems to do away with
the first. It reads :
Resolved, That we as a County Alli
ance will take steps to ascertain where
and how our county funds are ex
pended. I hope, for the general edification
that the second resolution will be car
ried into effect, provided they publish
the result of their investigation. There
has been a groat amount of random
talk, mixed with some fact, in refer
ence to the use and expenditure of the
county funds. It is a matter that
should be looked into, aud the people
HbUUia tie in Turin od in oil ouvU cuuuiy
business affairs; thoy should be better
understood by the voters and tax
payers, and suggestions made for the
help and benefit of the commissioners
when it -can be done in a proper and
unselfish spirit, in place of finding
fault about business that we know so
little about, simply for the want of
investigation and study in such mat
ters. The commissioners hold the
most important office in the county,
for the reason that they have the most
responsibility. They have the over
seeing of the county finances, the dis
bursements of all fonds, the care of all
property, the overseeing of all county
offices, to a great extent, and are held
to account for all miss-cues or diffi
culties that may arise in the County
machinery, and get the leaBt sympathy
from the people for their labor and
pains. Below I have made a table of
the county expenditures by guess as
it occurs to me to.be somewhere in the
neighborhood of the yearly disburse
ment of county funds. Some items
are, I think too high, while others are
perhaps low. In the clerk's fees we
include the expense of making tax
list, and postage used in the office. In
the treasurer's fees I include the pay
of deputies, stationery and postage.
Court expenses includes juries and
witnesses. Sheriffs fees includes
turnkey and board of prisoners, and
bonds includes interest and five per
cent, of principal. Twenty-five per
cent, of levy not drawn.
Clerk and deputies, &c, average.. f 2,000
Treasurer, deputies, Ac, average . . 3,000
Commissioners, average 1,000
Sheriff, deputies, &c 2,500
Assessors 1,500
Road Supervisors 1,200
Coroner and attendants 400
Com. Insanity and attendants 100
ClerkofCourt 400
District Court expenses 3,000
CountyPoor 1,500
Roads and Bridges 0,000
Delinquent Tax 15,000
Bonds and Interest 15,000
Election Expenses 300
County Matters at Court 200
County Attorney 250
County Superintendent 500
We would suggest to the Alliance,
that they appoint one of their best
men to sit once a month at the com
missioners meetings, and with them at
their annual settlement for the pur
pose of learning where the money
goes, and report his observations to
the public through the county papers.
He can also take in the board of
equalization, and seo who pays the
taxes. The records of the county are
accessible, and such information
would be of great benefit to all. There
are a great many who would be will
ing to be taxed for money to be used
for the purpose of diseminating such
knowledge. X.
Ed. Journal: In your issue of
March 28th I notice two items, which
in my humble opinion is not either
beneficial or proper for the lovers of
pomona's rare products among your
many readers.
1st I refer to that new method of
grafting the grape vine (by whip
grafting) by which even a whole vine
yard ot inferior fruit ean be easily and 1
quickly changod to better varieties,
? . , ,. ,..,., .,
Now we cheerfully admit, that the
grapevine can be grafted, but whether
7, . . j i.
it is a process to bo commended is a
question to which we demur, although
.. , ,
as you say, so particularly recom-
mended by the American Agriculture
ist. There are many things that the

of each tree, too, may bo bent into t
circle, or other feasible shape, tiedj
the tops brought together, a graft iu
sorted, and become a tree, and beat

as aa easy and quick way of renovat
ing an orchard of inferior varieties
Jnst so the grapevine can be grafted
but the process or modus operandi i
so uncertain and so difficult of opera
tion on account of the time at whicl
it must be done ; that certainly if w
wanted a better variety, we shoult
prefer to buy and plant it, believinf
our chance of eating the fruit wouh
be far more certain. I might, die
space permit, describe the different
modes by which the grape is grafted
but let this suffice, they, and alsi
'Whipgrafting are not new, but as ole
as the art of the horticulturist itself.
2d. The advice on account of cheap
ness to buy root-grafts in preferenct
to trees, is at least injudicious from
the fact that forty-nine out of ever)
fifty of your readers would certainlj
fail In raising them to sufficient size t
plant in orchard. And we do saj
moBt emphatically, with twelve yean
experience in Nebraska, that if wt
wanted our orchard to be a success,
we would gladly pay twenty-five
cents each for good, nice, thrifty, and
clean four year old trees, than to plant
any other age as a gift Our windy
and severe climate, with its occasional
severe dryness, demands it. I have
quit the nursery business and have no
axe to grind, but I assure your read
ers they had far better pay a good
price for a good article of sufficient
age than to take a good deal of the
trash that is bought as a gift. I have
a ffreat mpat r. i j -MJ-"
riculturist, but it (like other papers)
is not at all times to be followed, as
