The names of Major Pearraan and a man by the name of Barnes, who married an Otoe woman, are used so as to lead to the inference that there is something be binef'these long-continued manipula tions which go far to confirm rumors which floated into these newspaper headquarters several months ago that there was something wrong, if not verv rotten, in this sale of the Otoe reservation lands. Senator Van Wyck is not touched by these rumors, but the question ib, "Ib it a steal with a ring around it ?" Herald. The "two years tinkering" of Sena tor Paddock's original measnre has blocked all chances of the steal with a ring around it, which was hatched somewhere in the neighborhood of Gage county when the proposition to sell the Otoe lands was first made. The original measure left the door open in half a dozen places for land sharks and speculators, and the two year's tinkering has closed it in a way which several of Mr. Brown's friends decidedly objected to. The law has been delayed for amendment, and it has been amended solely in the inter ests of actual settlers, and with the view of knocking out of time a horde of speculators and harpies who had gathered in Gage county ready to nounce uDon the reservation the mo ment it was offered for sale. With sales restricted to 160. acres only to actual settlers ready to make oath of their intention to locate within three months of purchasing it is difficult to see where the chance for "a steal with a ring around it" comes in. The trouble seems to be that the steal was stopped before it had a chance to be accomplished, and the two years tink ering which it took.to block the game were two years put in to excellent advantage. Omaha Bee. Another weather prophet has been discovered in Cincinnati, who proph esies a dronth this summer, of terri ble severity. He urges people to fill their cisterns while they can, and use water sparingly. Springs, wells, creeks and rivers will be dried up, and the ocean itself will be partly evapor ated, to be afterwards poured on the earth in the form of rain, hail and snow, covering the whole land with an awful flood. The weather, storm and flood prophets are becoming more numerous than profitable accom plishing some harm by-exciting the fears of the timid and nervous. Their predictions and prophesies should be discarded by all sensible people. We know by actual experience these latter day weather and storm prophets can not with certainty foretell the storms, else they would have warned the peo ple of the recent destruction to prop erty and life, which passed through parts of some of the southern states. We refer to this subject at all only because there are those who really have some faith in weather prog nosticators. Tke PlaaetH ia JMmy. The planetary records of May are full of matters of exciting interest. Two of the giant planets, Neptune and Saturn, reach conjunction. Mer cury arrives at eastern elongation, and is visible as evening star during the entire month. Venus and Mars are in close conjunction. Every planet in the system, viewed from the earth, is in the northern declination. The moon comos in for distinguished hon ors. She is very near Saturn, she occults Beta Scorpii, and she gets up for a favored few, in the far-a-way region of the Southern Pacific ocean, the grandest, most sublime and awe inspiring spectacle that terrestrial ob servers ever beheld, when, for nearly six precious minutes, her dark shad ow conceals from view the glorious orb of day. Providence Journal. St. Louis tobacco men were last week making great preparations for what they call "Rebate day," May 1st, when the law reducing the tax on tobacco goes into effect. They claim that they have received an immense number of orders for goods, and on Tuesday, the 8th, will send oot extra train b which will penetrate all the country tributary to St. Louis, and go even to San Francisco, with over a million pounds of tobacco, aud be fore the week is over will add anoth er million pounds. StampB will be delivered by the internal revenue officers at midnight Monday, and from that time goods will be forward ed to destination as rapidly as stamps can be affixed and trains made up. The tenor of a Boston church choir rose to express his regrets that the I clergy, as a rule, knew so little of music, and told this little anecdote as an illustration of the prevailing ignor ance : "One Sunday morning a min ister sent me a hymn written in a meter which did not fit any tune at my disposal. There was just time for me to rush to his room and ask him to change the hymn. 'Why?' asked be, evidently annoyed. 'Because, sir,' I replied, 'there is not a tune in our col lection of the same meter as this hymn.' 'Is that all, sir?' he asked, with great dignity ; 'then why, may I ask, do you not sing a tune in some other meter?" The President has made the follow ing appointments: Wood, Ohio, to be agent for the Indians at Quinnault agency, Washington territory ; B. H. Johnson, Minnesota, register of land office at FergUB Falls, Minn. ; John T. Carlin, Ohio, receiver of public mon eys, Bozeman, Montana; Patrick Buckley, agent for the Indians of Tulalip agency, Washington territory ; Charles Willougby, agent for the In dians of Neah Bay agency, Washing ton territory. The town of Bellary, India, has recently passed an ordinance "that as the loose monkeys in the town have become exceedingly troublesome, by attacking women and children carry ing eatables, and overturning the tiles of the roofs of the houses in the town, these animals be caught and sent out. into the jungles, and that arrange ments be made that monkeys may not receive any injury while being seized.'' Communicated. EnpleymeBt. I take it that men and women were made for business, for activity, for employment. Activity is the life of us all. To do and to bear iB the duty of life. We know that employment makes the man in a very great meas nre. A man with no employment, with nothing to do is scarcely a man. The secret of making men is to put them to work and keep them at it. It is not study, not instruction, not care ful training, not good parents, not good society that makes men. These are means ; but back of them lies the grand moulding influence of man's life. It is employment. A man's business does more to make him than everything else. It hardons his mus cles, strengthens his body, quickenB his blood, sharpens his mind, corrects his judgment, wakes up his inventive genius, puts his wits to work, starts him on the race of life, arouses his ambition, makes him feel that he is a man and must fill a man's shoes, do a man's work, bear a man's part in life, and show himself a man in that part. No man feels himself a man who is not doing a man's business. A man without employment is not a man. He does not prove by his works that he iB a man. He cannot act a man's part. A hundred and fifty pounds of bone and muscle- is not a man. The bone and muscle and brain must know how to act a man's part, do a man's work, think a man's thoughts, mark out a man's path and bear a man's weight of character and duty, before they constitute a man. A man is soul and body in action. A statue if well dressed may ajypear to be a man ; so may a human being. But to be a mau and appear to be are two very differ ent things. Human beings grow, men are made. The being that grows to the stature of a man is not a man until he is made one. The grand in strmentality .of man-making is em ployment. Hence it sets boys to work, gives them trades, callings, professions; puts the instruments of man-making within their reach and tells them to work out their man hood. And the most of them do it somehow, not always well. The meu who fail to make a respectable man hood are the boys who are put to no business, the young men who have nothing to do; the male beings that have no employment. We have them about us ; air-bubbles that burst and are gone. Our men of wealth and character, of worth and power, have been early bound to some useful em ployment. Many of them were un fortunate orphan boys whom want compelled to work for bread the children of penury and lowly birth. In their early boyhood they buckled on the armor of labor, took upon their little shoulders heavy burdens, as sumed responsibilities, met fierce cir cumstances, contended with sharp opposition, chose the ruggedeBt paths of employment because they yielded the best remuneration, braved the storms of toil till they won great vic tories for themselves, and stood be fore the world in the majesty of noble manhood. This is the way meu are made. There is no other way. Their powers are developed in the field of employment. Men are not born, they are made. Genius, worth, power of mind are more made than born. Genius born may grovel in the dust; genius made will mount to the skies. Our great and good men that stand along the paths of history bright and shining lights are witnesses of these truths. They stand there as ever lasting pleaders for employment C. W. R. Columbus, Apr. 28, 1883. Mii.Wm. Stradleman, whoso home is in Lincoln, but whoso business houses may be found in several coun ties in the western part of the state, is enjoying a few days of relaxation from business in the bosom of his family. Mr. Stadlcman informs us that a perfect stream of immigration is pouring into the valley from all directions, and that the prices of lands are jumping from four and fivo dollars per acre to ten and twelve, and those having lands for sale are almost afraid to set a price for fear their offer wiil be accepted. State Journal. Not far from Collinsville, 111., on the farm of Hon. J. R. Mills, an in teresting archeological discovery was made by Mr. McAdams, assistant state geologist, in a group of ancient mounds. He dug up nine skeletons of adults and children, both male and female, most of them in a good state of preservation, and also found a large quantity of pottery, copper and stone ornaments and domestic and agricnltural implements. Among the latter were several flint hoes which had evidently been used a good deal. It is claimed by many persons that consumers pay all the taxes. In a few weeks the tax on tobacco will be reduced from sixteen to eight cents per pound, and on cigars from six to three dollars a thousand. A great many people use tobacco, and if the tax is takeu off we ought to be able to discover it in the price. The treas ury department will be more likely to notice it than the people who use it, as the department will feel it about twenty-five millions. Ex-President R. B. Hayes is des tined to have a pretty large-sized "monument composed of the stones hre enemies are flinging upon him." The latest boulder heaved onto the pile is from the Cleveland Plaindeal er, with label something like this: "The Fremont Methodists are going to build a new church, and R. B. Hayes is going to dedicate some of S. J. Tilden's salary to the Lord by paying one-fourth the cost." NOTICE. In the matter ot the estate of Anna K. Truyn.
