Bayard Tatlob said of Nebraska :
The country is one of tbe most beau

than ever struck with the great dif
ference between this region aad that
to the east of the Mississippi. There is
aene of the wearisome monotony or

wide billowy green, dotted all over
with golden islands of harvest the
hollows of- dark glittering maize the

materials which went to tbe making
up of every landscape, and of which,
In their sweet, harmonious, pastoral,

of the resources of tbe south and in
vited the men of tbe north to help
develop them. Letters were read
from several distinguished southern
men. Gov. Crittenden, of Missouri,
delivered a very effective speech in
which he said there was nothing po

has beea appointed to such nn office in
the history of tbe government.
An explosion occurred tbe other
night in tbe coal mines at Pocahontas,
Ya., and from a hundred aad twenty
to a hundred and fifty miners were
killed. Later accounts report that
not one of the men in tbe mine escap
ed, and it is certainly known at this
writing that over one hundred men
have been killed. The work of des
truction was not confined to the inte
rior of the mine, but houses two and
three hundred feet away were over
turned and in several instances en
tirely demolished. The large venti
lator was blown to atoms.
George McFadden was arrested
the other day at Sherman, Texas, on
a charge of beiag implicated in tbe
Pacific Express robbery at St. Louis.
McFadden was well acquainted with
Prentice Tiller, and went to St. Louis
a few days before tbe robbery. It is
believed that he assisted Tiller in
packiag the valises and carrying tbe
money away. Prentice Teller, the.
Pacific Express Company's agent, and
perhaps the real thief in tbe business,
has beea arrested at Milwaukee, and
about $80,000 of tbe stolen money
secured.

The other evening at Wheeling, W.
Ya., an unknown woman Jumped
from the Suspension Bridge into the
Ohio river, a distance of 100 feet. She

She had not regained consciousness,
and her death momentarily expected.
The woman is young, pretty and ele

learned regarding her home or rela
tives. The steamer Cuba, for Portland,
arrived tbe other night, having .on
board twenty-five Cuban women and
children, claiming to be refugees,

In this department tbe people talk, and
not the editor. Each writer must hold
himself ready to defend his principles
and his statements of fact . "In the mul
titude of counsel there is wisdom." Ed.
Journal.
Mr. Editor: In a recent issue 1
see an article under the beading life
or death by C. G. A. H., to which I
would like to take a few exceptions.
He carries the idea that all that is good
in this world comes from those that
love tbe Lord Jesus Christ, and all
that is bad from those that do not, and
in the last paragraph says, "make
haste to examine the record of him,
this man Jesus whom he would have
us to love." I find in the record of
his man Jesus among other things,
"whosoever believeth on me hath
everlasting lite;" belief seems to be
called for but not love. Tbe so-called
"sublime doctrine,'7 love your ene
mies, was something he did not do
himself, but called them hypocrites,
vipers, &c. "I come not to bring
peace but a sword, to set a man at va
riance, &c," "when ye pray enter into
your closet." I will venture that C.
G. A. H. ignores this very often. To
him that taketb away thy coat give
him thy cloak also' Tbe modern
followers of Jesus, as well as every
one else, give him no tbe law, if they
can find him. About our boasted
morality and socalled natural good
ness being abominable frauds, which
is tbe worst, that, or the couduct that
is liable to result from belief in the
following quotation (which by tbe
way ia not Bible) bnt tbe sentiment
partly in words and partly in action
is often hoard in revivals ?
"It's true I'm a champion sinner
Can compete with any who will,
But to me the wrong is no matter
For Jesus will settle tbe bill.
I'll be sure and repent while its early,
But at present will roam at my will,
Ju6t ceasing in time to be sorry,
And Jesus will settle the bill.
It may be claimed that tbe above
does not refer to those that love the
Lord Jesus, but they very evidently
believe on bim, and according to bis
man Jesus have everlasting life an
inducement for a man to follow the
natural bent of bis mind, (especially
if it is bad) ; that amounts almost to a
reward.
You say you do not fear death, I
know better, it isn't hnman nature.
It may be C. G. A. H. is gifted with
some power to know the most secret
thoughts of others, but I doubt it.
"All is at stake, it is life or death."
In auswer to that will quote, "As in
Adam all die so in Christ shall all be
made alive ;" it is not such "a fearful
leap into a dark, bottomless abyss"
after all, as C. G. A. H. would have
us believe. "Nothing else is of any
importance." Another quotation (not
Bible) will give others views on that
subject :
"We want the wrongs of life to have
A cure that's felt to-day,
A Savior not beyond the grave,
To work and not to pi ay.
We want our paradise on earth
Not saints, but honest men
Whose lives shall need ho second birth,
Or Savior rudely slain."

Anthrax CarbastBcstlw, SJIack
lea;.
Mr. Editor : Your request for my
treatment of the above disease shows
again that yon are wide awake to the
publio interest. I cheerfully comply
and give you the following for publi
cation in your widely read paper.
Cause of this fearful disease. My
experience aud observation seemed to
indicate to me that one of the chief
causes if not tbo chief one is to be
fouud in the miry yards and corrals
in which the poor stock is compelled
to stand and to lay down. The sea
son I lost so many head, they had
been in such a place, where no hog
ought to be kept, simply because I bad
no other place of confinement for
them. Since I have kept them al
ways as much as possible on dry
ground, I have not bad a single case.
Hence I would, say to those having
but a few head as well as to the cattle
kings: Let your stock be kept on
dry ground. If you cannot bed them,
give them at least dry yards, and
shelter from tbe storms.
Symptoms. With me the disease
was confined to young stock, but took
all aad only the best ones. The first
symptom. ws their dejected look aad
appearance. Than-they would lay
down and be loth to get' up and if
urged to rUe they would lay down
agaia as quick & possible, would not
eat nor drink and some of them would
die in less than 24 hours. In
flaying, wc would find one hfnd quar
ter all dark red and bloo'dy, hence the
designation anthrax, (red ax a burn
ing coal).
Cure. I am aware that some stock
men have cured animals by the use of
the knite upon the affected part, but
beiag a firm beliover iu Homoeopathy
and keeping a supply for my own use,
I resorted to that method with a-caas
in my herd, and cured it, but I had
no more cases since and will not call
it probalum in all cases. It is, how
ever, worth a trial. I will not say
where tbe remedies that I employed
ars to be had let those that have
tbera for sale advertise them in tbe
Journal. Let it be borne in mind,
however, that I speak of homoeo
pathic mother-tinctures. I would
give the affected animal from three to
five drops every 15 minutes: first
aconitum napellus, in fifteen minutes
arsenicum album, in fifteen minutes
nux vomica and then after the same
lapse of time mercurius virus and then
begin again with aconite and so forth.
Give the remedies less often when the
animal begins to mend. The two
first named, viz: aconite and arseni
cum are mentioned as preventatives
in tbe medical work in which I foond
the directions for the cure of tbe dis
ease. Give a dose of the first say on
Tuesday of each week aud of the sec
ond 6n Friday. We took a bottle
with a long and strong neck, pnt in a
half a cup ot water with the dose of
medicine aud poured it down the ani
mal's throat. A. El.
Bridge Bond.
Ed. Journal: Now that the school
bonds have been defeated, I would
suggest to the tax payers and business
men of Columbus the propriety of
voting a sufficient amount in township
bonds for the erection of a good, sub
stantial bridge over the Lonpe river,
said bonds to be voted now, or in the
near future, but not issued until the
emergency arises, which contingency
is liable to occur at any time by the
preseut structure being partly or
wholly washed away. By adopting
this course, the iuterests.of the town
will be promptly subserved and tbe
building of the bridge materially ex
pedited, when that contingency
comes. "To be forewarned is to be
forearmed iu time of peace prepare
for war," are old and reliable maxims,
well worthy to be heeded by individ
uals, commuuities and nations.
Citizens of CoIumbuB, such a struct
ure as I refer to will eventually have
to be built. Why not let us have the
benefit and satisfaction of such an
enterprise, and let those who come
hereafter assist in paying for it, as
well aa to enjoy the great good it will
bestow ? Let ns do away with the
great suspense and anxiety annually
experienced by ourselves and neigh
bors beyond, to say nothing of the
additional expense of taking up and
putting down the present structure
every spring. If we delay the prep
aration of building this bridge, we
may bo deprived of the valuable trade
over the river for a whole season, as
to agitate properly the question, call
an election according to law, let the
contract and build such a bridge as
we need, would about consume a
whole summer. Yours, &c,

Mr. Editor : I have been a care
ful and interested reader of tbe arti
cles in the Journal on cultivated
grasses, but have seen nothing in any
of them about Alfalfa (or Lucerne).
Can not some one give their experi

as if Alfalfa, which yields so abund
antly elsewhere, would be profitable
in the Platte valley.
