Genius and a high order of talent are always admirable in and of them selves, but the mortal casket in which they are vouchsafed a temporary abode is often a very frail tenement Emerson's "Conduct of Life," "Be havior," "Culture and Beauty" are proposed by Boston educators as a winter's work in a morality depart ment, to be established in the public schools. A destructive fire broke out one night last week in Union City, Ind., which is reported to have uearly des troyed the whole western portion of the town. The loss is estimated at $250,000. John D.

Y. A dispatch was received the other day at London from Tabreez, Persia, reporting that the city had been visit ed by an earthquake, destroying a great many houses and causing the death of a large number of persons. A continuous line of railroad now extends from Chicago to Salt Lake City yia of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, Burlington & Missouri and Denver & Rio Grande roads, making connections at Lincoln and Denver. It is stated that there are only seven women in Boston who are worth more than $500,000. These facts are furnished by the assessor's returns, and show over seventy women in Boston whose wealth exceeds $100,000. The borers of au artesian well in San Bernardino, Cal., have encoun tered at the depth of 280 feet a tree which standB perpendicularly. Great pieces of the wood, which appears to be sycamore, are brought up in the pipes. One hundred and forty-nine thous and pounds of soap wcro awarded by the Indian agency contracts last week. An exchange pertinently remarks, "What the soap is to be used for no one but the Indian agents can dis cover." Three little daughters of Jacob Morourz, playing in the street under an umbrella at Winona, Minn., the other day, were struck by lightning and two of them Instantly killed.

Frederick Kerr, a confidential clerk of Preston, Kean & Co., of Chi cago, who fled last January, having $50,000 of the bank's funds in his possession, was arrested last month at Lima, Peru, and has been turned over to the American authorities. The recent test made of the water supply from the city well at Lincoln, Neb., did not prove so satisfactory for an "abundant supply" of water from the city well as was anticipated, and it 'appears now to be an open question. Further testa will be made. The t third trial of Timothy Kelly at Dublin, charged with perticipatien ib mis iavenaiaa ana Jonr a nspjswrs, was concluded, the. sfiflrfTlft; jury found the prisoner, fa&Wm'?? "ntto, m& he was sentenced to hanged the 9th of July. Aeuy declarer is anoctt Aristocracy." The thoughtful student of Ameri can politics will find in the Badical Review of May 5thf a summary of M. M. Trumbull's lecture on American Aristocracy that is indeed interesting, not so much for anything new, as for the effective manner in which the at tention is fixed on the fundamental principles involved in onr system of government, the tendencies of politi cal thought and action, and the dan gers to which we are exposed. The structure of onr government is likened to a pyramid, and a contrast drawn between the historical changes in administrative government here, and in England, whence onr funda mental doctrines were derived. Among the effete and disappearing features of our American system are : the property qualification which waa attached to the right of suffrage in nearly all the states of the union when the constitution was adopted; the witholding of the right to vote to for eigners who have not yet become naturalized citizens under the national laws ; the obliteration of the negro as a constituent part of political society; the appointment of most state officials by the governor; the exclusion of women from a voice in government. The retrospect is instructive, as, judging by the past, some conjecture may be reasonably ventured of the future. "The American senate," says Mr. Trumbull, "is to-day the most import ant and the most powerful political aristocracy that has existed .on this earth since the downfall of the Roman empire." "Think of the vast interests of the United States under the legis lative control in one house of seventy six men, not one of them elected by the people ; think of the vast interests of the state of Illinois represented in one branch of the national legislature by only two persons responsible to nobody. Reflect for a moment that the members of the United States sen ate will in personal wealth average more than a million of dollars each ; think how the most of that wealth has been acquired, and then say if such an important aristocracy was ever before seen upon this earth." Considering that senators are not elected by the people, but by a very small body of representatives, that their term is a long one, and that they are responsible to nobody, the Amer ican senate is the rock against which the surging waves of reform must dash, and over which they must leap. Mr. Trumbull thinks that when "the real conflict between the antago nistic forces of the govermenl" comes, it will be "when the president and the senate, banded together in defense of prerogative, shall resist a honse of representatives fresh from the people, and bearing from the people a mes sage of reform," and that in that con test the stopping of the supplies will be the conquering weapon used in the House. - The Journal thinks that such a contest is remote. Mr. Trumbull's assumption of the identical similarity of our house, senate and president to the English parliament, house of lords and king is a grave mistake, and our political history, more especially re cent events, have shown that the president and senate are as quickly responsive to the popular will as our house of representatives. A term of four years or a term of six years is not like a life tenure of office for stiffening the backbone of "preroga tive," and it is pretty safe to say that no "prerogatives" will long hold here against the wiah of the electors, be cause, when public sentiment is aroused every member of the state legislature will be elected on the ex citing issue, and they in turn will so elect the U. S. senators, and, the pres idential contest turning on the same, what is to hinder the full sway of the people, if then will it? The citizens of Pawnee county are justly indignant at the failure of the last Legislature to pass laws for the relief of the people, and are earnestly calling upon "all persons who are in favor of the regulation of railroads by the State ; to avoid unjust charges for transportation ; all in favor of wealth bearing its just proportion of taxation and the election of president, vice president and United States senators by the people to meet, etc." The fore going are nndoubtedly the issues of the next campaign in Nebraska. That the persistent folly, and willful curs edness of the last legislature, was the straw which broke the camel's back, is plainly manifest on all aides ; and if the republican party is wise it will heed the signs of the times, and profit by past experience. A very large majority of the people in this state earnestly desire the enactment of laws called for in the foregoing declaration of principles ;" and the party which shows a willingness to comply with the demand, and a desire to bring about the needed reform, is the party which will carry the next election. The cry of "half breed" and "bolter" have lost their terrors, and nothing will hold the republican party togeth er in the future, but honest merit, a quality possessed in a very limited degree by its leaders . in Nebraska during the past two years. Tekamah Burtonian. L. S. Coffin took his place in the railway commission of Iowa, the other day. The Iowa board have never been able to get a report from the Union Pacific road regarding the business done over the bridge between Council Bluffs and Omaha, and the commission recently brought suit at Council Bluffs against the Company. Since then, part of the board's ques tions have been answered, bat the Company evaded answering others, including tonnage received and for warded over the bridge, claiming the flgnree could' be obtained. The Company jttB4bJct that it is a that the Company's printed report I ought to satisfy the board. The recent terrible cyclone in Mis sissippi has been taken advantage of by a shrewd old negro woman named Martha Hughes, who says she is called by the Lord to announce the coming of the end of the world in the wreck of matter and loss of souls not enroll ed in the churches of the Lord, to all of which the Wesson cyclone was a forerunner. The colored preachers have closed their churches to her, and she delivers her harangues in the open air by the side of camp-fires, where she is surrounded by thousands of followers. All the negroes around Jackson are demoralized. They are quitting work and getting ready the garments in which they are to ascend to glory, under the pilotage of the dusky Martha. This prophetess of evil is about sixty years eld, and weighs about fifteen stone. She car ries a huge shepherd's staff, and never omits taking: up a collection. The regular colored clergy are greatly scandalized, and are talking about causing the woman's arrest. It is stated that many years ago a Bermudiau was so unfortunate as to be imprisoned for pome offense in the jail at York, Pa. One day he planted some seeds he had in his possession in the jail yard. About the time the plants blossomed his sentence expired and he left .the town. The jailer's wife was interested in the plants and watched their growth. A small, bright red fruit appeared on the vines, and all persons were cautioned against touching the fruit, as it was considered poisonous. One day the Bermndian returned and, seeing the love apple matured, called for pepper, salt and-vinegar, with which he sea soned some of the apples, which, to the horror of the jailer's wife, he pro ceeded to eat with a relish. He quiet ed the woman's fear by explaining the nature of the vegetable. The precious seeds of the remaining tomatoes were carefully distributed among the neighbors, and so the cool, delicious tomato soon became a common gar den vegetable. The Supreme Court the other day at Washington reached what is called the "granger case" of Neal Buggies against the people of the State of Illinois, in which the question was raised whether its charter granted the Central Military R. R. Co., now the Chicago Burlington ft Quincy R. R. by the legislature of Illinois in 1852, or any subsequent amendment there for contains such contract between the state and Co. and to authorize the Co. to establish its own rates of fare and freight beyond interference by the state. The court held that the direc tors of the railroad cannot adopt any by-law fixing rates of fare and freight in conflict with the laws of the state relating to the same subject Judg ment of the Supreme Court of Illinois affirmed. An accident occurred the other day four miles from Norfolk, Neb., on the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha railroad by the engine and a portion of the cars being thrown from a bridge aud buried in the water and mud. The engineer, Saml. Reed, had his leg badly shattered between tim bers which held him for three hours, with his head barely above water. The brakeman, J. Pleasant, was kill ed. He was found ou the top of the boiler, with a freight car over him. Passengers of the coach escaped in jury. Canse of the accident, the heavy rain and flood during the night A waqon, frightfully painted In the most gaudy colors and intended to force tardy debtors to pay their bills, is in use in Cleveland. On the sides are painted the words, "Dead Beat Wagon," and the vehicle is halted before a' debtor's door, there to re main a month or more, or until the bill is paid. A short time ago the driver stopped a wagon before a large house while he went in search of a horse's lost shoe. The lady, who al ways promptly pays her bills, was so indignant that she has sued the pro prietor of the wagon for $10,000 dam ages. Ex. An Ohio man has invented a drill which sows the grain upon the sur face of the prepared ground in a row six inches broad and covers it by shovels which throw the surface soil over it, leaving an open furrow be tween the rows of wheat His drill tubes are one foot apart, so that half the land is occupied with grain and half with furrows between. By this method he deepens the soil by plac ing the seed at the surface and then putting the surface soil from between the rows on top of it State Journal. Dudley, commissioner of pensions, haB notified Mr. Rounds, the govern ment printer, that the list of pension ers of the United States is ready, and it may be expected that the printing of this document will soon commence and being something of a job will re quire some time to complete it. It is claimed that the work will make forty-eight Telaa.es of 600 pages each will be required to fulfill the law. It will give a complete list of all the names on the pension rolls. The Massachusetts House the other day again voted the vetoed $90,000 for the Tewksbury almshouse expen ses. To a visiting committee Gov. Batler said he would ran the piece for $70,000, and if any money remain ed he would turn it over to the state while he would meet any excess out of his own means. The new feature in the case is that Superintendent Marsh has been holding office since last year without giving the requisite bond. Francis Mahone, a policeman of New York, waa shot and killed the other morning by Michael Sullivan, the only provocation being that Sul livan was ordered to move on. The first shot ire waa, fatal, but when Mahone waa down, Sullivam pat two more shots into his head. The mur- 1 dertr was promptly arretted. Page of California thinks that Sec retary Lincoln's chances for the nom ination for president were spoiled by his action on tho river and harbor bill of '81 and 82. The honest son of an honest father saw that it contained many indefensible items, and was a fearful waste of money. In this res pect, Sec'y Lincoln voiced the senti ment of his fellow citizens generally, and will, of course, be opposed by the strict machine politicians. Frank Metbtick, of Omaha, the other night turned his wife and four children out doors into the rain and hail and then set fire to his house, which was soon in flames, and finally totally destroyed, at a loss of over $2,000. Some years ago Mr. Hey strick was pronounced insane and confined in the Ohio asylum, and it Is believed he was laboring under a re turned attack of insanity when he set fire to his house. Later reports from the fire at Kearney, Neb., say the loss falls on Henry Gibbons, Ed. Tripp, Mrs. Cal kins, Mrs. .Cherry and Mr. Mitchell. Mr. Gibbons had two buildings de stroyed. Two small store buildings were pulled to pieces to prevent the fire from spreading. The loss will not exceed $10,000. No clue as to the origin of the fire has been discovered. Col. Parkeb, chief inspector of the post-office department, estimates that the government has been losing about $1,000 daily by the operation of pri vate letter offices raided in New York the other day. There are similar offices in operation in other large cities, but tho government has de termined to close them without delay. Recent news from El Paso, Texas, states that General Crook crossed into Mexico and has been .in the Sierra Madre mountains for several'days in pursuit of Apaches. Mexican au thorities co-operated by sending two companies on the frontier. Other troops are in the field. One of the severest hail storms ever known In the west occurred at Denver, Col., on the 8th. It was ac companied with terrific thunder and lightning, and lasted fully au hour. Hailstones measuring folly an inch in diameter were piled fully eix inches deep in the streets. A call signed by Frederick Doug lass, P. H. Carson, John F. Cook and twenty-threa others, has been issued for a national convention of colored men, to meet in Washington, Sept 24th, to consider the various interests and rights of the colored people of the United States. Recent report comes from Scran ton, Pa., that a terrific rain and hail storm, accompanied by thunder and lightning, prevailed the other even ing' throughout that section. The fall of rain was estimated at five inches. An immense amount of property was damaged. The anti-monopolists of the First congressional district have called a convention to be held at Lincoln on the 13th day of June next at 2 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of electing four delegates to attend the national con ference at Chicago on the 4th of July next. Three tramps have been arrested charged with robbing Major Wesson, army paymaster, on a Texas Pacific train a few nights ago. Notes of a large denomination and $900 in gold were found on them. Major Wasson is at Ft. Worth aiding the detectives. a, SHERIFF'S SALE.
