There have been set out in the beds in the Boston public garden this spring 50,000 paries, 15,500 daisies, 500 forget-me-nots and 1,500 Canter bury bells. These,. with 4,000 tnlips planted last fall, make a nott bril liant skew. The North Platte Telegraph con tains this reference to a portion of the proceedings of the state teachers' association concerning a subject that demands the attention of the next legislature : "The most interesting portion of Hon. C. H. Gere's welcoming address wbb his reference to the question of the sale of our landed endowment, and the investment of the school funds. He spoke of the low price at which our university lands can be sold, of their rapid sale, and of the difficulty, indeed, the impossibility, of finding a safe investment for the pro ceeds of these sales, which, to the amount of nearly $200,000, are now lying idle in the treasury. He char acterized the action of the last legis lature in refusing to stop the sale of these lands as incomprehensible ob stinacy, and appealed from that body to the superintendents and teachers, asking them to stir up the people in every township and school district to a public sentiment that would force the next legislature to remedy this waste of the inheritance of the chil dren of Nebraska. The remedy ad vocated by the speaker was that of ceasing altogether to sell the common school and university lands, and the adoption of a system of leasing or a rental which would be a moderate interest on appraisements made at stated intervals." The fact of the matter is, not only the friends of this man of Maine but his enemies, look upon him as the most popular and powerful man in the United States of America to-day. It may be written. as an axiom that in scratching the skin of any men who abuBe this Maine statesman you will start blood that is colored or curdled by fear of him either for themselves or their friends. Mr. Blaine may not be nominated, but if the voice of the great majority of the republican vo ters of the country i6 heard he will be nominated by acclamation and elected by the greatest popnlar ma jority that has ever been given to any man since Lincoln. If h e is not nom inated his nomination will be defeat ed by southern officeholders from states that have never furnished a republican electoral vote in their his tory. If Mississippi and Georgia and Tennessee and Missouri are to dictate republican nominations for the presi dency as against the expressed pref erence of Pennsylvania and Ohio and Iowa and Nebraska it is time that our whole system of nominations be changed.--North Bend Flail. Nebraska democrats in their state convention last week at Lincoln adopted a platform of principles, and endorsed Saml. J. Tilden for the pres idency. Messrs. Boyd, Morton, Cas tor and Munger were elected dele gates at large to the national conven tion. Martin and Creighton were elected from the First district, R. A. Batty, of Adams, and A. J. Ritten house, of Hamilton, from the Second, and Faby and Higf ins for the Third district. Platte county was doubly honored by placing J. E. North as alternate at large. The delegates are all understood to be for Tilden and Hendricks. Judge Post and District Attorney Marshall knocked Hanley clear out of time the first round. Now if they will do a like turn by Fell, the prize fighting fraternity will fight shy of the "rural districts" of Nebraska. Gaslin said he wished to make mur der unpopular in his district; Post seems to hold the same theory with reference to slugging. Enforce the laws, is a good enough motto tor courts and people. The Cooper Union building was packed with Arthur's friends on the night of the 20th inst., in New York, and a number of people were unable to gain admittance. Citizens and business men attended the great mass meeting to express approval of the administration of President Arthur and urge his nomination. Henry Ward Beecher and other prominent literary and business men addressed the assemblage. Recent word from Commander Schley, of the Greely search expedi tion, says they were uearing Cape Race; a number of small icebergs and considerable floating ice had been passed. The engineer force was somewhat crippled by a painful acci dent to machinist Walter Booth, who had bis finger crushed in the machin ery the third day out from New York. The Norfolk Journal tries to make out that the state convention was anti-BIaine. Bro. Neidig misrepre sents, and we believe he knows it. To the writer's certain knowledge there were twenty-five Blaine del egates in one corner of the assembly chamber who voted against the Blaine instructions, believing it was not policy to express any choice by reso lution. O'Neill Frontier. In the Hanley trial at Wahoo for prize-fighting, the jury after two hours deliberation returned with a verdict of guilty. Judge Post sen tenced the prisoner to the penitentiary for three years at hard labor. The man convicted of shooting with in tent to kill was sentenced to the same term. Both cases were appealed to the Supreme Court. H. J. Hughs, not D. L. Hughs, as reported, is the name of the Doane college student who was drowned the other day. He was a promising student and fitting himself for the ministry. ThiB case should be a warning against reckless venturing by those who are not good swimmers. Some of the streams in Nebraska are very treacherous. There is an invention spoken of which it is thought may abolish the torturing horse-bit It consists of a steel band placed over the front bone of the horse's nose, and to this appli ance the reins are attached. It giveB complete control to the driver over the horse without iniicting the least torture on the animal. It is claimed that it has been tried with satisfactory result. The Ciuciuuati and Indianapolis base ball clubs played the other Sun day at Indianapolis. The members of the Cincinnati club have been ar rested, charged with violating the State Sunday law. The players were released on their personal recog nizance. They will bo soon tried. The Indianapolis club will also be arrested. Bills have passed the senate for the erection of the following public buildings. At Vicksburg, $100,000; at Chattanooga, $100,000; at Opeiou sa, La., $50,000; at Portland, Ore., $250,000; at Sacramento, $100,000; at Dayton, O, $150,000; at Springfield, O., $100,000. The Bums appropriated include the cost of sites and buildings. Bro. Druse of the Nebraska Farm,' cr gives the political wheel a turn. He says the only possible recommen dation Gov. Dawes has for a second term is the precedence which seems partially established of giving the office twice to each incumbent, aud then he nominates Hon. J. B. Dins more of Sutton for the governorship. The students of Washington and Jefferson college nominated Senator Edmunds as a candidate for presi dent. He sent them a letter saying : "I sincerely thank the young gentle men for the compliment: I much prefer it to the actual office, tho em barrassments and burdens of which I do not desire to assume." A. Anwerds, traveling salesman for the firm of C. Tegeler & Co., wholesale liquor dealers of Rock Island, 111., died at the 'Union depot at Blair, Neb., the other morning just as the trains were leaving for Misr souri Valley and Omaha. The doc tors who were present pronounced it a case of apoplexy. George Rose, a switchman, in the upper yards of the Union Pacific road at Omaha the other day while coup ling cars slipped and was thrown upon the track and the wheels of an empty freight car passed over his limbs, fracturing two toes of his right foot ; his right arm sustained a com pound fracture. Eliza Bateson, of Detroit, Mich., has patented an ash-sifter; Marion W. McCann, of Posey, Ind., has pat ented a cultivator; Jane Nixon, of New York, has patented a thread moistening attachment for sewing machines; and Sallie M. Seibel, of Philadelphia, Pa., has a patent for leggins. The school directors of tho Bristol borough school district, Pa., selected MisB Tillie S. Booz superintendent of the public schools of that city. She is spoken of in the highest terms a3 to her qualifications for the position, and was elected by almost a unani mous vote. Tns ccremouies incidental to tho dedication of tho Luther statue took place at Washington ou the 21st inst. in front of the Memorial Lutheran church, when the statue was formally unveiled in the presence of about 1,200 people, Justice Miller presiding. The suspension bridge across the Scioto river at Portsmouth, Ohio, fell the other morning while some cattle were crossing. Mrs. Fulwiler, with four children, was on the bridge at the time. Three of the children were drowned. The bridge cost $40,000. Miss Amelia Chapman, of Penn sylvania, who had been teaching in Kansas, was on her way home, an invalid, when, at Alliance, Ohio, she sent a porter after a cup of tea for her. She waB dead when he came with it, two minutes afterward. Several carloads of United States troops landed at Pueblo, Col., the other day en route lor Fort Lewis. It is reported that the Indians have corralled the Mitchel family and a number of cow-boys, and a general ontbreak is expected. The Pennsylvania Bank located at Pittsburg, Pa., closed its doors the other day and assign as the reason a continuous run for several days, and that it is a wise course for depositors and all concerned to suspend pay ment for the present. The season in Ohio is reported backward, with considerable damage to winter wheat by frost and wet weather. Some correspondent in Ohio says that unless "we soon get 6ome dry, growing weather the crop will be a poor one." All the houses in Tarlton village, Ohio, were unroofed by a hurricane the other afternoon. Near Lancaster the race and fair ground structures were demolished, and many horses killed by falling barns. Fences and trees were leveled. Mrs. Alexander Edmunds, of St. Louis, while laboring under a tem porary fit of insanity, cut the throats of her three little children, with a razor the other day, and then delib erately drew the weapon across her own throat. To ArkaHitaH. Beebe, White County, Ark-.,) May 19th, 1884. , Editor Journal: After a thir teen years continuous residence in Nebraska, your bumble correspond ent thought ho had earned the privi lege of a thirty or forty days rambling visit among the fruits and flowers of this portion of the "sunny south," a visit that we have for some time an ticipated making. In pursuance of that object, on the 4th of the present month we bade good-bye to wife and family and with grip-sack in hand started for Rising City, shook a few of our dear o)d friends by the hand, and with eyes open although dimmed somewhat by age, took our seat on the train for a ride of somewhat over nine hundred miles to this place, where we are at the present staying. As the train slowly moved from the depot wc looked off over the beauti ful undulating sheen of prairie ou which wo with mauy other dear old neighbors commenced in 1871 turuiug over the black rich earth, which but a few years before was supposed to bo an arid desert. Aud, dear Journal readers, while thus looking, notwith standing our haps and many mis-haps, where there was nothing as far as the eye could reach but an ocean of grass which to all appearance reached as far as space extended, now were fine farms, with budding groves, and mostly god And neat farm houses; the deer aud the antelope had given place to many of the horned kine, and pens of fat porkers were grind ing the thousands of acres of corn, pressing it into smaller bulk, that our railroad might have sufficient capaci ty to carry the various products of the numerous farms to market. Our pretty village, too, with its graded school, its fine churches, neat build ings, large stores woll filled in the many and varied kinds of business, presided over by gentlemen that had prospered and grown up with us duriHg the years we had been to gether, made rather a pleasant picture in which we had acted a small and humble part. As a description of our journey to Omaha would not be interesting, suffice it to say that David City, Valparaiso and Wahoo are the best centers west of the Platte river, and soon reaching Omaha we could but wonder at its growth in costly buildings, business, and energy, and with barely time to cast a glance across the muddy Missouri,we merely looked over to Council Bluffs, and at 8 p. m. started south. It being dark, and we sleepy, we have nothing far ther to say in this letter than that from Leavenworth, Kansas, where morning found us, we shall bo as ex plicit and truthful as possible of scenery, country aud products, which without doubt will bo new to most of your readers. John Boans. Beere, Whito County, Ark.,) May 24th, 1884. , Editor Journal : It was with some disappointment that we awoke at Leavenworth, Ks., to find spring nearly a9 backward as with us of central Nebraska. Our route to St. Louis was via the M. P. R. R. and while gliding smooth ly along towards the borders of Mis souri our thoughts would drift back to the earlier days of her infancy with all their attendant misery, as her young pulse throbbed and her weak bauds battled in the cause of right aud justice, aud John Brown, Jim Lane, Geary, Sumner, aud tho erring brothers across the border, with their works right and wrong, floated be fore our mental vision as a myth, as we looked at the present prosperity aud solidity of her cities and thought of her railroads, her railroad centers and the fulness to repletion of her prosperity. From Kansas City with its 100,000 inhabitants and large manufacturing interests our route to St. Louis was through a farming country replete in beauty and scenery, which in places on the river was grand and superb, and for farming purposes generally it must excel. Fall wheat appears to be the largest money crop of all farmers along our route as indicated by the almost continuous billowy ocean of waving green that continued to greet the eye, about one-third of which was poor, the balance indicating a good and profitable harvest. Large apple orchards clothed in bloom, healthy and fine, assured U3 that its many varieties are largely at home here, while the peach trees as seen by ub were nearly all in a damaged condi tion. Scarcely any of the corn ground all along to St. Louis was plowed and only here and there a few fields planted, with but two small fields with spikelets showing above the ground. The green sterna of the first small patch of potatoes were seen in the' suburbs of the beautiful city of WarrenBburg, while Sedalia and Jef ferson City gladdened the eye with the first roses in bloom. The pros perity of all this portion of our glorious country needs no comment from me, as its buildings and sur roundings in city, village and country abundantly prove that fact. We steamed into St. Louis shortly before sundown and were almost lost in amazement at the immense number of people, "in seeming chaos out of which order came," steaming in and out of this central city of our great republic and to every imaginable point of the compass. We visited the gentlemantly gen eral ticket agent of the St. L. I. M. & S. R. R., showed our coupon ticket, and also letters of introduction, ex pressed our wishes, which with cour tesy were kindly granted, and left the office with a special lay-over permit added, to visit all places as per our request, and with a kind invitation to call on him on our return. At 8 :30 p. m. we left this city of cities, as regards location, and in darkness rolled smoothly towards that portion of Arkansas for which our journey was undertaken. Sunrise found us over the borders of Missouri, and until we reached Newport but little of the land was cultivated, the railroad passing thro' a new country grand in its timber resources and sufficiently rolling to be perfectly healthful, while baci from this great artery of travel on either side is ah old settled country with its farms and villages. We crossed White river whose limpid waters by the old settler are said to be so pure, that he who once drinks loses all relish for any other. As we steam along, the country becomes more rolling but somewhat poorer, the strawberry gardens are crimson with fruit, peaches are two-thirds grown, honeysuckles, roses, lilies, etc. perfume the air with a delicious fra grance, all trees, fruit and forest, have made nearly half their season's growth, and at 10:30 Beebe, the beauty, almost buried in its forest of fruits and flowers, loomed in view, and as we stepped on to the platform and were wearily gazing at a magnifi cent magnolia, whose creamy buds were swelling for an early bloom, the venerable and urbane Dr. J. M. Gist, an old resident, kindly took us by the hand, and for us, dear Journal, for a L day or two at least, it will be rest. Joes Boanb. j LbbHiotrol.ftKuI. IBIae vb. Cornu The following is taken from a re ceut number of the Prairie Farmer. H. M. Winalow of this city is well acquainted with the gentlemen re ferred to, their farm and manner of doing business, and says that the statemeutB made are true. He adds that the Browns recently sold fat yearling steers in Chicago, realizing $40 a head. There is no doubt but thoroughbred stock will mature about a year earlier than scrubs, aud that all pay best by being kept fat from the time they come until they are ready for the block. But here is what the Browns are doing with grass: "The method of handling cattle on the celebrated blue-grass larm of J. N. Brown's sons in Sangamon county, III., is something out ot the common order of doiug thiugs iu the West. These gentlemen own about 3,000 acres of a&.fiue land as there is iu this fertile State. It lies iu the heart of the great corn belt yet they do not plant an acre of corn to feed to their 1,000 head of cattle. Indeed they do not feed the article except in case of a protracted severe storm. They al ways purchase a small amount for such a contingency. Their cattle live, thrive, aud grow fat upon blue grass alone. Their pastures are old and each year adds to the quantity and value of the grass crop. They mow but little bay, less than fifty acres per year. They say that one hundred acres of grass will furnish as much fattening food as sixty-six acres of corn. The cost of growing the corn makes its feeding unprofitable as compared with pasturage. They, buy young animals and fatten them upon the blue-grass, putting on some 300 pounds of fine beef between April and July, and they sell them when weighing from 1,400 to 1,500 pounds, realizing the very highest market prices. Of course they purchase good grade Short-horn stock, as these alone will ripen at as early an age as they wish to have them." Kesri Encase Xraaaferw.
