That slaveholders rebellion was
one of the moBt'crael .wars known to

years since its close 'are heaping, up
additional information concerning the
enormity of the crimes commuted
under the delatiaa W states5 'rijlils,
and a proposed government ''with
slavery for its corner stone. Among'
the confederate archives stored at
WkjliTiTglnn haa lately hin found a.
letter from .Jacob Thompson, -from
Toronto,.Canada,itH(.Jadah P.Benja
min, Sec'y of Bute of the Confedera
cy; dated Dr. 3d,- 1864. Bay.-U.
Lincoln Journal, in referring -to it :
"He speaks of having furnished
mnnnr far th Pflrtrla meeting of the
.'Sons,' of the plans laid to capture the
steamer micnigan ai xaoiuynvm o Po
land, aad of money he bad advanced
to a Mr. Churchill, of Cincinnati, to
organize a corps to bnrn that city.
He has also authorized one- Colonel
Martin, to burn New York, but re
grets that a daring attempt to carry
out that enterprise has failed on ac
cooat of the unreliability of 'Greek
fire and pronounces that chemical
unfit for the business.
In another part of the letter he says
that a large amonnt of burning has
been done since his stay in Canada,
but the reports brought to him by the
perpetrators are contradictory and
unsatisfactory, and he knows little
certainly. He proposes in conclusion
to commence secret operations against'
the railroads so as to compel the fed
oral commanders to detach large num
bers of men to guard the railroad
tracks' and thus deplete their armies
in the field."
Such plans and deeds are fit com
panion pieces to place along side the
pictures of Libby aud Andersonville
in order to deepen, in the minds of
the rising generatiou of young Amer
icans, the impression of the utter
enormity of the rebellion which cost
millions of treasure and thousands
upon thousands of valuable lives.
The Omaha Republican, knowing
that Senator Van Wyck Is not accus
tomed to acknowledge the authority
of self-assumed bosses, undertakes to
break him down with the Republican
party. The Republican will do well
to remember.tbat all .the Republicans
of Nebraska are anti-monopoly Re
publicans (excepting' a very insignifi
cant nnmber whose individual inter
ests are bound up with the corpora
tions) and among these Senator Van
Wyck's course touching those im
portant issues, at least, is very much
approved. If Freddie Nye of the
Omaha Republican desires his paper
to be the leading organ of the party
in the state, he must not "bolt" the
sentiments of the parly, and he must
not abuse and villify the only man
now representing in high office the
sentiments of this people. Your at
tempts to do this will only recoil
upon your own head, and deepen the
conviction of people generally that,
whatever yon may pretend to the con
trary, yours, is a railroad organ, pure
and simple.
Willie Bentlet is probably the
boBB farmer boy of Nebraska. He
raised 450 bushels of wheat from six
teen acreB this year, as well as plant
ing and cultivatiug sixty acres of
corn that is as good as any man's corn
in this section. The rows are just as
straight and as free from weeds as any
old farmer's corn field, and the field is
estimated to average fifty bushels per
acre. Besides his corn and wheat he
has 550 bushels of oats raised by his
own hands, several hundred bushels
of potatoes, and any amount of gar
den produce. All this be has done
himself, and has done all the chores of
a farm, and exchanged work during
harvest sufficient to pay his harvest
and threshing bill. Willie is not yet
fifteen years of age, and we enter him
as the champion boy farmer of the
state. If any one can beat this, we
would like to know his name and the
color of his hair. Shelton Clipper.
A mechanic named Bohn under
takes to explain the terrible accident
that happened to the cspito! building
at Madison, Wis., by saying that he
saw defects in the brick piers sup
porting the iron colnmn of the third
floor on the southeast corner, and the
cracks were so plainly visible the day
before the accident that Foreman
Jones, now dead, screwed up the iron
pillar supporting the roof girders
with jacks, and caused (he brick to be
rebuilt. On the following, morning
Bohn says Jones took away the jacks
early, not wishing that the public in
general should know of the trouble.
Bohn was at work on the third floor
when the accident occurred and saw
this pillar give way. Masons say the
mortar waB green and was squeezed
out by taking away the jacks too
early, causing the pier to settle, hence
the fall.
Another young msn occupying a
position of trust in a Chicago bank is
in jail for embezzlement, and occupies
a cell with Florence Peters, the de
faulting cashier of Lyon & Healy.
Both lost the money of their employ
ers in gambling houses. The defalca
tion of the former was not discovered
nntil he had been discharged, and he
was discharged because Mr. Stnrges,
his employer, saw him enter a gamb
ling bouse. If all the bankers and
merchants in Chicago -were to visit
the thirty or more gambling houses in
this city they would discover that
hundreds of their clerks and cashiers
are regular patrons of those placet,
and as long as the Mayor permits
them to run openly it wonld be well
for the merchants and well for their
employes to have a regnlar inspection
of the gambling houses m&ie. Inter -Ocean.
Col. A. H. Neidig of Norfolk says
he may want to run for congress next'
year. As between him and brother
Cady of the Schuyler Sun, the Jour
nal must beg leave of the Col. to be
allowed to favor the candidacy of
Mr. Cady. We have known Cady
longer, and we reckon-that he wonld
more nearly represent the wishes of
the people of the dicUfcL We also
believe that Mr. Cady is an aatimo?

nre our northern friend is not.

Wilbek, Neb., Nov. 12, '83.
Two champion debaters, namely
Rev. Clark 'Braden, author of "Inger
aoll Unmasked," and' Bishop. Kelly of
the Mormon, ehurcl, are attracting
picked 'Wases herJB; every night jn
their public discussion of the Mormon
question. Is Mormonism a hoax or a
divine institution? Was Joseph
LSmith.JanJnspired4ropbet or a de
signing fraud? These are the ques
tions being considered, and some of.
the armaments are: In proof of
gmiia'a prophetic-gilts, Kelly points
to the late discovery -of extensive
ruins' of cities in Central America
which Smith as early as 1830 declared
to be in existence. Braden shows
that they were discovered by a Span
iard as early as 1789. Kelly makes
the remarkable assertion that Smith
foretold cyclones, a phenomenon nev
er known nntil recently. This was
met with nnmerous proofs of the
antiquity of hurricanes and wind
storms. Kelly claims that Smith was
a much maligned man, as all true
prophets have been. Braden says that
all pure characters are always exhon
erated finally, that Smith has not been,
that the fact cannot be gainsaid that
Smith was a vicious and nnprincipled
scoandrel, and that his character does
not entitle him to the least credibility.
Many Inconsistencies in the Book of
Mormon, and absurd fallacies in his
opponent's arguments are shown up
by Braden who is a clear reason er and
forcible orator. Mr. Kelly is never
theless a winning and enthusiastic
speaker and seems to carry tbejwhole
audience with him until Braden again
takes the floor. ' AJgood nnmber of
ministers are present from abroad.
The discussion will continue an entire
week, and will be published in book
form' from the Stenographic Report.

Mr. Charles Aldrlch, Webster City,
Iowa, writes in The Homestead of bis
state, from useful experience and ob
servation of their merits :
"Timothy and clover will grow on
fed-down prairie sod, no matter at
what time they are sown and wheth
er 'harrowed or not. As early as
possible in spring would no doubt be
the best time in order to secure the
quickest return and the best results.
Mr. John A. Hull, of Boone, states
that he once had to cross a slough to
get to the place where he was going
to sow clover. While crossing the
slough he sowed a 'cast' of clover
seed, just to 6ee if anything would
come of it. He said this clover seed
grew finely, and completely rooted
out the slough grass, aud that a lux
uriant belt of clover has grown upon
this tract ever since.
"Upon some of the very wettest
gronnd upon my farm I, have for the
past two seasons had a luxuriant
growth of clover. I sow timothy
seed in stubble as soon as after har
vest. If it seems too thin and scat
tering, in the spring I shall sow on
more. I hardly think yon can kill a
clover seed short of crushing it with
a hammer. When the conditions of
warmth and moisture are favorable it
will grow, surprising the farmer by
the amount of choice feed it is able to
supply for any kind of live stock, a9
well as by its powerful vitality in
withstanding auy after vicissitudes of
drouth, frost, or excessive moisture.
The only trouble-seems to be that our
farmers do not bow half clover
enough'
A teeeible calamity befell the
workmen at the capital building at
Madison, Wis., on the 8tb, by the
heavy iron pillars supporting the roof
the second story balcouy sank into
the plank on which they rested, thus
pulling the sound wall outward, which
in turn caused the roof of the entire
wing to cavo in. The columns were
made of large pieces of boiler iron
rolled into circular form, stove pipe
fashion, the jointure not being bolted.
The capital gave way and tumbled
the roof to the cellar, crushing scores
of men to death or maiming them by
tons of stone aud brick falling upon
them.
The citizens of Lincoln, Pa., and
vicinity in pursuit of a gang of thieves
overtook them at Welch Mountain
and a fight followed. John Clifford
was captured. Buzzard, the leader,
was shot and seriously injured. Bard,
one of the posse, is probably fatally
shot The other thieves escaped. The
mountain on the night of the 8th was
surrounded by a large posse, and it is
believed impossible for the thieves to
escape. Clifford revealed the hiding
place of a large amount of stolen
goods which were recovered.
Since Mary Churchill arrived at
her home in St. Louis she is reported
as saying that she bad secretly made
preparations for her departure long
before she pnt her plans into execu
tion. While in Indianapolis she pro
posed to take lessons in elocution
from Prof. McElroy, but-the latter
demurred when Dr. Fletcher, of the
insane asylum refused consent to the
scheme.
It looks as though Chester A. Ar
thur would be the next republican
nominee for president. We believe
that, while he himself, is a sagacious
politician, aud has given the country
a solid, common-sense, business ad
ministration, he has had the advice
and counsel of that most-thorough of
all Americans, James G. Blaine.
If the Omaha Republican thinks to
hoodwink the party in this Btate by
pretending to be solicitons concern
ing the enactment of just railroad
legislation, and yet without scruple
denounces the very men who do most
to bring this' about, it simply goes
upon the assumption that the people
are very easily deluded.
A bold and daring train robbery'
was perpetrated the other night
twenty miles south of Kansas City,
on the Mexican National railroad, by
forty masked men who removed a
rail from the track. The robbers se
cured $8,000 in silver coin belonging
to one Jtan n San Antonio, and beat
a hasty retreat.

J. L. Pilkard 6uras up an article on
Cty Management of Public Schools"
In Education in the following roan
ner: '
First. A small board of education
carefully chosen from the most intel
ligent citizens for a long period of
service, subject to no party in state
politics or in religion, able to select a
good leader in the work of instruc
tion, themselves confined largely to
the business side, and leaving to the
superintendent of their choice the
fullest freedom within the pecuniary
limits their business sagacity deter
mines as proper.
Second. Superintendent and teach
er carefully choren after sufficient
trial, and left to perfect freedom as to
methods of instruction in the work
assigned, responsible only for results,
and paid according to merit as deter
mined by trial; secure in office so
long as merit warrants; encouraged
to the best efforts by the certainty of
promotion within the ranks ; without
the necessity of securing the means of
support or of needed aids to their
work in employment out of school
hours, and with salary attached to
place and not to the sex of the occu
pant. Third. A course of study covering
the work now preparatory to our best
colleges, including a normal and
training school for the education and
discipline of teachers ; a manual train
ing school for the special education of
the future mechanics of the city, with
special attention to such fundamental
studies as are of highest value in ev
ery walk of life, and with opportuni
ties for higher education for those
who may aspire to professional lite ;
and all within the confines of what
may properly be called public schools,
dropping entirely tho unfortunate
distinction made between primary,
grammar and high schools.
Fourth. Such a popular support as
shall have the call for funds entirely
to the discretion of the board of edu
cation, with such limits as state legis
lation may see fit to adopt ; an ideal
system perhaps but within the range
of possibilities I firmly believe.
Teacher.
Pasture Greea.
In some paper a short time ago, I
noticed this, "no grass, no cattle ; no
cattle no manure; no manure, no
crops." This, any man admits as a
truth. Yet there are but few of our
farmers who grasp the idea with that
firmness which its importance de
mands. The' strong meadow or rank
pasture is the master mine of wealth.
This matter is of vital importance to
the farming community of this state.
Just now the wild grasses are yield
ing to the improvements and pastur
ing, and will soon be extinct. The
question now is What 6hall be sub
stituted for the wild grasses of the
prairie? It may be that different
localities may require different kinds,
but to the people of Platte county it
appears that blue grass is the kind
best suited to replace the native grass.
To introduce this grass easily and
readily, the effort must be made be
fore the sod of the prairies is broken
or destroyed. This work is most
easily accomplished by starting the
blue grass at those places in your pas
tures where the native grass is killed
out, by sowing the seed of the blue
grass and confidently awaiting the
spreading of the same over the entire
pasture. Of this matter, more anon.

A. S. FISHBLATT, U. D.,
SPECIAL ATTENTION GIVEN TO DISEASES OF
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, CATARRH KIDNEY
AND BLADDER, AND WELL AS ALL CHRONIC AND NER
VOUS DISEASES,.
DR. FISHBLATT
Hai discovered the greatest cure in the world for weakness of the back and limbs,
involuntary discbarges, impotency, general debility, nervousness, languor, confus
ion of ideas, palpitation f the heart, timidity, trembling, dimness of sight or giddi
ness, diseases of the beadt throat, nose or skin, affections of the liver, lungs, stom
ach or bowels those terrible disorders arislne from solitary habits of vouth. and
.secret practices more fatal to the victims
Ulysses, bugnung tneir most raaiant nopes or anticipations, rendering marriage
impossible.
Those that are suffering from the evil practices, which destroy their mental and
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 spirits, evil forebod
ings, cowardice, fears, dreams, restless nights, dizziness, forgettulness, 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 bone deposit in the urine, nervous
ness, confusion of thought, trembling, watery and weak eyes, dyspepsia, constipa
tion, paleness, pain and weakness in the limbs, etc., should consult me immediately
and be restored to perrect neaun.
YOUNG MEN
Who haye become victims of solitary vice, that dreadful and destructive habit
which annually sweeps to an untimely grave thousands of young men of exalted
talent and brilliant Intellect who might otherwise entrance listening se nators with
the thunders of their eloquence or wake to ecstacy the living lyre, ma y call with
full confidence.
MARRIAGE.
Married persons or young men contemplating marriage be aware of physical
weakness, loss of procreative power, impotency, or any other disqualification speed
ily relieved. He who places himself under the care of Dr. Fishblatt may religiously
confide in his honor as a gentleman, and confidently rely upon his skill ai a.
physician.
ORGANAL WEAKNESS
Immediately cured and full vigor restored. This distressing affliction which ren
ders life a burden and marriage impossible, is the penalty paid by the victim for
improper indulgence. Young people are apt to commit excesses from not being
aware of the dreadful consequences that may ensue. Now who that understands
this subject will deny that procreation is lost sooner by those falling into improper
babitfc than by prudent? Besides being deprived of the pleasure of healthy off
springs, the most serious and destructive symptoms of both mind and body arise.
The system becomes deranged, the physical and mental functions weaken. Loss of
procreative powers, nervous irritability, dyspepsia, palpitation of the heart, indi
gestion, constitutional debility, wasting of the frame, cough, consumption and death.
A CURE WARRANTED.
Persons ruined in health by unlearned pretenders who keep them trifling month
after month taking poisonous and iijurious compounds, should apply immediately.
DR. FISHBLATT
Graduate of one of the most eminent colleges of the United States, has effected some
of the moat astonishing cures that were ever kaown; many troubled with ringing in
the ears and head when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at certain sounds,
with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of the mind were
cured immediately.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. F. addresses all those who have injured themselves by improper Indulgence
and solitary habits which ruin both mind and body, unfitting them for business
study, society or marriage.
These are some of the sad, melancholy effects produced by the early habits o f
youth, viz: Weakness of the back and limbs, pains in the head and dimness or
lightnloss of muscular power, palpitation of the heart, dyspepsia, nervous Irritabil
ity, deraagement of digestive functions, debility, consumption, etc.
