Ok every hand the sad pictnre is
presented of the alarming increase of
a disposition among the vicious and
idle to violate law and commit deeds
of violence and murder. We read
every week of a number of horrible
murders and lustful assaults and out
rages upon little girls, young women,
and even married women of middle
age. Many of these assaults end in
murder. For very trifling causes
many shocking murders are commit
ted throughout the country. It can
not mean anything else than that the
class of people who commit these
crimes are greatly on the increase, and
that they come from the idle and
vicious class of our population with
out love or affection in their make-up,
and with no conception that it is the
duty of every good citizen to respect
and obey the civil laws of the country
in which he liveB. This class of our
citizens ought to be reached and edu
cated in a higher grade of thought
and action. The important question
is how shall this be accomplished,
while these parties associate with the
viscious and idle. In the first place,
they must learn to respect and even
love useful and steady labor or em
ployment of some kind ; and suddenly
and forever abandon their idle and
vicious companions and daily and
nightly associates. Where young
men fail to carry them Into active life
the lessons imparted to them by lov
ing and kind parents, especially from
a watchful and anxious mother, it is
not very strange that the religious
associations of the land fail to reach
them and change their moral action,
neither is it strange that a faithful
administration of the ciyil laws should
reform or change the wicked actions
of their lives. Not long siuco two
young girls, Jenny Cramer and Rose
Clark, both of Connecticut, the latter
of Hartford, were crually murdered
without any known cause or motive.
The vigilence of the citizens in the
communities where these shocking
murders were committed have been
unable to detect and punish the guilty
parties. No known motive or cause
existing for the horrible murders has
baffled the skill of officers in searching
for the guilty parties. How such
wicked and diabolical criminals can
ever be reached by any moral influ
ence that will change their murderous
dispositions, is a perplexing and diffi
cult question to answer. No human
knowledge seems capable of compre
hending and solving the difficulty,
unless it does exist in the fact that
these murderers have the power to
abandon, at once, their idle and
vicious associates, apply their strength
and abilities to some ueeful and hon
orable pursuit ia life, which will give
them steady employment; if this, with
a visit to their mothers and hearing
repeated the early lessons of their
youth, and her great care and anxiety
concerning their welfare in future
life, with a resolve on their part to
sin no more, does not accomplish the
needed reform we acknowledge our
inability to suggest a remedy.
Years ago John A. Allison myste
riously disappeared from Suncook,
N. H., and his whereabouts was never
learned. Recently three miners dis
covered in the White River Range, in
Colorado, a ruined hut, and upon en
tering discovered the skeleton of a
man lying under a rotting table. In
the pocket of a tattered garment they
found a letter "to be opened by mv
friends" and upon reading it learned
that the- moldering bones were once
the frame of John A. Allison. The
yellow missive stated a nephew, nam
ed Walter, was with Allison, and that
the latter feared death at his hands
for $200 which he possessed ; and the
miners believe the old recluse's fears
were well grounded, as they think
AlliBon was murdered.
What is becoming of all the old
corn Bent east is quite a puzzle to some
of our citizeus. The demand at Chi
cago for this article seems to be won
derful. Train after train and vessel
after vessel are loaded there aud start
out without checking the call. The
vessel room engaged there was as
high as a million bushels In oue day
last week. It may be the probability
I of war between France and China or
the recent estimate of 2,000,000,000
bushels of new crop that is causing
this rush in the movement of the old
crop. It is difficult to undertake to
state a true reason for the activity of
the movement.
Articles of incorporation of the
Omaha Belt Railway Compauy have
been filed in the office of the county
clerk at Omaha. The points that this
railway will unite in its circle around
the city are the Tenth street crossing,
the foot of Farnham street, the Union
Pacific shops, the Driving Park, Fort
Omaha, the water works reservoir,
West Omaha, Hanscom Park, New
Edin borough, and thence from the
summit over the Union Pacific right
of way to the starting point. It will
do both passenger and freight busi
ness. It will be a grand enterprise
for the city of Omaha.
The Newark Evening News pub
lished Monday two letters from the
abdnctors of little Charlie Ross, writ
ten Nov. 22 and 24, 1874 (the year in
which the child was spirited away), to
Mr. Christian K. Ross, and demand
ing $20,000 ransom or his son would
be put to death. The documents
were found among the papers of the
late William R. Heins, chief of the
Philadelphia detectives. The point
aimed at by the News is that the evi
dence of those letters was unknown
to Mr. Ross or his friends, and so pre
vented, in a measure, the return of the
child to his parents.
The Bev. E. A. Stafford, of Grace
Methodist church in Winnipeg, being

President Arthur at Chicago on
the 5th inst. remained quietly at his
hotel in the forenoon and at 2 o'clock
in the afternoon, accompanied by
the members of the reception com
mittee, he appeared on the trading
floor of the chamber of commerce,
where he met with a splendid ova-
liion, there being fully four thousand
people on the floor and in the galler
ies, and the appearance of President
was the signaljfor a;continuous round
of cheering. He wasMintroducedj.by
Vice President French as chief mag
istrate of a Union enjoying the great
est prosperity ever known in the his
tory of the world. PresidentArthur
spoke as follows :
"Gentlemen: I th&nktyou for. the
warmth of this greeting. I am glad
to have the opportunity of greeting
so many of the representative: busi
ness men of this magnificent city. I
shall always recall with pleasure the
warmth and cordialitly with which I
have been welcomed, and leave yon
with my best wishes for your pros
perity and welfare."
Secretary Lincoln said he had been
trying for two years to convince the
president that Chicago was the center
of the nation, but this magnificent
reception was an argument he could
not withstand.
Afterwards held a reception at the
Union League club, and at the Calu
met club, tendered by the Illinois
commandery of the Loyal League.
At the close of the reception the
president, in response to repeated
calls from a large gathering of peo
ple outside, addressed them saying
that he was very tired from exertions
of the day and evening, and that he
was obliged to a9k them to excuse
him from any extended remarks, as
he was obliged to prepare for the
eoming journey.
Secretary Lincoln was then called
for. As he appeared aonie one shout
ed, "Three cheers for the next presi
dent." Mr. Lincoln said he hoped he
would never be as wide of the mark
as the man who proposed that senti
ment. He thanked them fur the
hearty reception accorded the presi
dent. Senator Cullom responded to calls,
and spoke of the patriotism shown in
the attendance of the people at the
reception, especially the large repre
sentation of the laboring element.
This ended the reception. It Is esti
mated 10,000 passed before the presi
dent during the two hours. Secretary
Lincoln did not accompany the presi
dent east. He goes to Mt. Pleasant,
Iowa, to join his family.
Senator Vest and Delegate Mc
Ginnis, of the Indian commission held
an interview the other day with some
of the principal Indian chiefs at the
Flathead agency. The Indians refuse
to sell any portion of their reserve or
move to another reservation. They
said they had no grievances and were
highly pleased with their agent, Roh
man. All they desired was to keep
whisky away from their young men.
The commission had rather an ex
citing discussion with Carlos, who is
a noted brave, who said "Mv hands
and those of my people are free from
the white men's blood, and when the
Ncz Perces came here we protected
the whites. Why does the white
man take his heart from us now."
Then he took off his hat, threw it
upon the floor, stamped upon it, and
with blazing eyes gaziug upon Vest,
he shouted : "You may take Carlos to
a reservation, but there will be no
breath in his nostrils; Carlos will be
dead." True to the Indian character,
before council broke up, Carlos
agreed to go to Washington with
agent Rohan and talk the matter over
with the great father.
It is reported that the Chinese are
erecting defenses botween Canton
and the mouth of the river. The
question at Hong Kong is not will
there be war, but when and where
will it begin? The London Daily
Telegraph recently published the fol
lowing from Paris : "It is affirmed a
telegram was sent from Paris to Pe
kin asking the American miuister to
sound the Chinese government on the
subject of Americau arbitration, if
such were suggested by France. The
telegram added that Earl Granville
was advocating British arbitration;
but the moment had arrived to assert
the commercial influence of America
in the Chinese seas." It is further
said that this dispatch may have been
sent, but it Is most unlikely it emina
ted from official sources.
The first woman who ever edited a
newspaper in this country is Mrs.
Harriet N. Prewctt. She lives in a
small farm bouse in Yazoo City, with
wisteria vines climbing over the door
ways and low windows, and magnolia
trees shading the wide porches. In
1848 Mrs. Prewett was left a widow
with three small children and a news
paper, and for a number of years 6he
was editor, proprietor, news editor,
agent and bookkeeper, her paper be
ing especially famous in that region
for its sparkle and strong editorials.
She also kept house and did all tbe
family mending, and supported and
educated her children by means of
her newspaper.
Judge Mato, of Norfolk Va., who
committed suicide aboard a Balti
more steamer, on the morning of the
15th inst, in relating his troubles to a
friend, said that when elected judge
he did not agree politically with his
sons, prominent readjustee. He was
told that politics would not Interfere
with bis duties on the bench. Be
cently he had been urged to make a
removal and appointment, which
afterwards in his opinion was a viola
tion of the law. His political situa
tion irritated him, and he said he felt
like ending his troubles by blowing
oat his brains. He is widely con
nected, and an uncle of Commodore
Mayo.
The case against ex-Senator Sharon,
arrested the other day at San Fran
cisco, for adultery, has been continued

It is now denied that England or
America offered to mediate between
France and China. The German Ad
miralty has sent orders to Admiral
Goltz, commanding the German
squadron in the east to concentrate
his vessels at Hong Kong and then
proceed to the different- treaty ports
of China. This display of -the' G'er-i
man flag, it is expected, will" have" ra;
salutary effect on the natives-, in view
of the possibility of -an- outbreak"
against all foreigners. -
The dissatisfied Democrats pf Ham
ilton county, Ohio, held. a convention-
Saturday at Cincinnati (E. W.. Kit
tredge, chairman), at which. .eighty,
delegates were present. They nomi
nated a ticket in opposition to the
"regular" one, which the resolutions
said was controlled by fraud andviq-.
ience. The platform indorses the

The state fair at Omaha last week
proved a grand success in every par
ticular. Our neighbor Hall county
took the first premium for the beat
county agricultural exhibit. This is
the third consecutive year that Hall
county has carried off this premium.

the Union Pacific company in the
Minneapolis and St. Louis exposi
tions, and took first premium, as it
did in Nebraska.
Many complaints have already
been made in Chicago against-the
workings of the postal note system,
aud have gone so far as to deem it a
failuro in that city. Post officials also
declare that the haudling of postal
notes and the work of rectifying
errors has eutailed an unusual amount
of additional labor on the working
force. What the postal service needs
in this line is the old greenback frac
tional currency.
Neither the Irish nor the Scotch
will molest the sparrow, and they
know no fear, because they never
know any danger there. To harm a
sparrow in either country would be
considered an,outrage. In America,
England and Germany they are shot
and otherwise caught and eaten with
a relish, and by many persons pro
nounced to be equal to, if not supe
rior to the 6now bird as an article of
food.

The statement has recently been
made that both governments, France

seeing a peaceful solution of the Ton
qin question, if it can be effected with
honor. The general sentiment favors
the hope that all tbe issues Involved

of England.

SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CATARRH KIDNEY
AND BLADDER, AND WELL AS ALL CHRONIC AND NER
VOUS DISEASES,.
DE. FISHBLAT
Has discovered the greatest cure in the world for weakness of the back and limbs
involuntary discharges, impotency, general debility, nervousness, languor, confus
ion of ideas, palpitation f the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sight or giddi
ness, diseases of the head, throat, nose or skin, affections of the liver, lungs, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arising from solitary habits of yolnh and
secret practices more fatal to tbe victims than the songs ot Syrens to the mariners of
Ulysses, blighting their most radiant hopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible. "
Those that are suffering from the evil practices, which destrov their mnntui imi
physical systems causing
NERVOUS DEBILITY,
the symptoms of which are a dull, distressed mind, which unfits them from perform
ing their business and social duties, makes happy marriage impossible, distresses"
the action of the heart, causing flushes of heat, depression of spirit, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forget! ulness, unnatural"
discharges, pain in the back and hips, short breathing, melancholy, tire easily of
company and have preference to be alone, feeling as tired in the morning as when
retiring, seminal weakness, lost manhood, white bono deposit in the urine, nervous
ness, confusion of thought, trembling, watery and weak eyes, dyspepsia, conuioa"
tion, paleness, pain and weakness in the limbs, etc., should consult me immediately
and be restored to perfect health.
YOUNG MEN
Who have become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful aud d;itriiMv .i.:.
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted
talent and brilliant Intellect who might otherwise entrance listening senators with
the thunders of their elequence or wake to testacy the living lyre, may call with
full confidence. J
MAKKIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of nbrqini
weakness, lots of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification VnV.i
ily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. Flshblatt may relkimiatV
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upen his skill as
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing affliction which rn
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, ii the penalty paid by the victim r.
improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not i.inl
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that undr-.nri?
this subjeet will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into ImoronSr
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind and bodvLl.
