A heavy frost occurred on the nights of the 21st and 22d throughout the southern and central part of Mis souri, and particularly in that section in Illinois swept by the tornadoes. Early vegetables are almost entirely destroyed, and fruit and grapes are badly damaged. Ice from an eighth to a qu&rter of an inch thick formed in most localities.

Nebraska has increased its popula tion 1,496 per cent, in twenty years, and its taxable property 1,112 per cent. Its ratio of illiteracy is less than any other state or territory.

Three murder cases were tried laBt week in Gase couutv. Neb. Two of the accused wero found guilty of murder, one in the first degroe.

The feeling in favor of a triennial instead of a biennial session of the Legislature of Illinois is on the in crease. Indeed, if succeeding Legis latures cannot do better than this one has, a session once in ten years, with a term in the penitentiary in the in terim, will be what the public will demand Chicago Herald. A recent suit brought by Caroline Benzston in favor of herself and four children against A. Nygen, Cbas. O. Jones and George Sturgis, saloonists, for loss of support by reason of the death of her husband, John Benzston, found dead on the 13th of last Sep tember, was tried last week in the district court of Burt county, the jury returning a verdict for the plaintiff for $2,400. A great many people have long been wishing for some invention that would prove effectual in preventing the chickens from destroying their gardens. "We hope the following patent will prove a success : A shoe maker of Hubbard City is about to patent a most useful invention. He calls it a patent garden protector. It consists of two pieces of hard wood, each about ten inches long, sharpened at one end and having a hole bored in the other. These are to be tied to the legs of chickens that infest the gar dens with the sharp ends of tbe sticks in such a position that they will drag behind. Then, when tbe chicken attempts to scratch, the sharp ends of the pieces of wood will 6tick in the ground, and thus walk the chicken right out of tbe garden in spite of itself. President Mstfciaa;. From present indications it would seem that the politicians, particularly those found among the newspaper publishers, are greatly perplexed be cause they cannot even guess who the coming man will be, in either of.the prominent political parties, for candi dates for president in '84. They have in the Democratic fold discussed the probabilities of McDonald, Tilden, Bayard, Kandall, Ben Butler and oth ers, but apparently, by design, have left out tho best, and perhaps the most popular man in their ranks, ex Senator Thurinan. On tbe Republi can side the claims of Ha ison, Ed munds, Blaine, "W. A. "W:eeler and others have been presented, but little has been said of the probable chances of President Arthur, who thus far is making a very good president for the people. Seemingly, by design, they have not discussed tbe chances of Secretary Lincoln, who in the strength of his manhood has correct views, honest purposes and a will of his own to execute them, and would make a popular candidate for President or Vice President; if the voice of the people is heard in making the nomi nations, bis chances are probably as good as any for one of the nominations. .If the partizan newspapers and po liticians would undertake less manu facturing of presidential timber, but let public sentiment ripen naturally, results would be more satisfactory all around. So long as the administra tion of affairs is in tbe handB of a political party, it is all-important that party principles and party methods should be as nearly correct as is pos sible for human affairs to be, and in dividual criticism cannot be too full and free, bnt to put men forward be fore their time is not j udiciotu. A severe storm at Cleveland, Ohio, reported last week, consisting of tor rents of rain accompanied by light ning, thunder and high wind. A cy clone swept over "Willoughby. It uprooted trees, and unroofed houses. The storm visited Fredericktown with similar effects, and several peo ple were injured. The storm was general throughout northern Ohio, with very high winds in certain localities. A recent special to the Omaha He publican from York. Neb., says Wm. Moore was arrested and brought be fore Judge Northal, charged with attempting to bribe jnryman Thomas Reardon, who was a jnryman on the Hasbrook vs. Pickrel glandered horse case, which already involves about $2,500, including costs. Moore was held to answer the charge in the sum of $500 at the next term of the court. ABtl-MBply Cteasrremloasd District CeaveatieB. Omaha, Neb., April 28, '83.

Kirtley, Ch'm'n A.-M. State Central Com. Allen Root, Sec'y A.-M. State Central Com. A Few TkeagJBt" ea Choice. The freedom of the will is a knotty metaphysical question that has always puzzled and doubtless always will puzzle human philosophers. There is not really any profit in discussing it, yet most of us agree in believing that to a limited extent we have the power of choice, and all of us know that in the chief conditions and circumstan ces of our lives we have no choice and can have none. The bounds of our habitations are aB firmly fixed as the eternal hills and we have no power to remove them. 1st. We did not choose our ances try, nor our temperaments, nor the place of our birth, nor the influences of our childhood and youth, nor the circumstances of our riper years in their larger aspects. 2d. Often when we have chosen, as we supposed, the object of our choice has proved quite different from what we thought it to be, and we have not been disappointed in that, things that we have not chosen are given ub and serve to keep up the restless and unsatisfied search for ideal comfort, rest and peace. We choose pleasure, but it is true pain comes with It ; we choose light, but darkness ia its inevi table accompaniment; we choose sweet, but there is always a taste of something bitter in our mouths; we choose joy, and with it sorrow unfail ingly appears; we choose good, but evil is always present with us. And this has been the experience of man since tbe days of Adam. Half the human race weary with the ceaseless conflicts, have imagined a dead sleep at the end of all this, have dreamed that tbe wars of life, die at last in a perpetual hush on the shore of ob livion. 3d. Our concern, however, is not with death but with life, not with the hereafter, bnt with the present, not with to-morrow, but with to-day, to day the burden must be borne ; to-day the set tasks accomplished ; to-day tbe race set before us run. It matters nothing that we have borne the same burden many a weary year, that the Bame tasks are identical with those we have done ten thousand times before, that the race is over the same weary expanse we have run more times than we can count. 4th. The history of every life worth chronicling is a history of struggle, of conquest, of achievement, of alternate victory and defeat, of persistent toil, of long enduring patience. The hero is always scarred, often maimed, and bears in his soul tbe marks of every battlefield on which he has fought. What he has chosen, he may have realized, honor, place, renown; but he has realized a thousand things he has never chosen, and often in the conflict and heat of battle his will has been forced by pressure from without rather than within to hold firm and unshaken. 5th. We all have the same battle ground to fight over, year in and year out. The farmer tills his acres, fights weeds and insects and flood and drouth and frost and blight, year in and year out ; bis wife may busy her self in raising ducks and chickens, in making butter and cheese, in the mo notonous round of domestic toil in rearing her children, in deeds of char ity to those less favored than herself. Her only choice is whether she shall cheerfully submit or whether she shall rebel against it. The law of our life here is alternation, inspiration, expiration, day and night, a pulsation, a pause, and unless death revolution izes the laws of our being, alternation of some sort will characterize tbe life (if there is one) after death, but here human speculation prndentiy stops, where human knowledge ends ; with in the limit circle in which our wills are free, we can choose the right and in that one choice ends.
