Wade Hampton' has been elected United States senator from Sooth Carolina. Tee celebrated Sharon divorce case at San Francisco, has been decided in fayor of the plaintiff. The women voters of Boston cast last year 701 votes, and this year 1,109 have registered. At Sioux City on the 24th, it was 22 below zero. Trains a little late, but all got in and all went ont. They claim at Chicago that a bliz zard, unfortunately, can come over from Canada without paying tariff. About 300 persons have died from the plague in "Wise county, Virginia. The disease is now on the decrease. The National, at Paris, says France has rejected England's proposals with reference to the financial difficulties of Egypt. There is a rumor from South America of an impending war between Brazil and the Argentine Republic. Theke is an uuivorsal outcry In Nebraska against the five per cent penalty inflicted on delinquent payers after Jan. 1st. tax- TV". B. Thompson, late superintend ent of the railway mail service, was confirmed the other day second assist ant postmaster general. Bbadstbeet's Commercial- Agen cy investigations show that in twenty one states there are at the present time 310,000 persons out of employ ment. Peof. Swing, of Chicago in a powerful sermon last Sunday, de clared that the failure to punish the criminal classes is a stain upon the nation. The custom of appointing played out party hacks from the states as territorial officers would be more honored in the breach than in the ob servance. It is claimed that the most power ful imprecation which the inhabi tants of Crete uttered against an enemy was: "Ye gods, give him bad habits." All the miners along the Monon gahela river strncs one day last week for an advance of K cent- The operators say that they will cIobo their pits rather than yield. J. H. Hobabt was frozen to death while drunk the other night at Omaha. He was a civil engineer, and built the famous "loup" on the California Southern Railroad. During the recent campaign those who suggested that the election of Cleveland would revive the hopes of rebel claimants were pooh-poohed as declaring an absurdity. How does it look, now? Hon. Horace Garfield, who died recently at David Uity, was among the pioneer settlers of Butler county, was the first sheriff of the county, and represented his district in the state senate in 1877. The editor and manager of the anarchist paper, La Flammc, at Mar seilles, has been sentenced to im prisonment for one year and eight months for inciting to plunder dur ing the cholera epidemic. The Beatrice, Neb., barb wire works, owned by Thomas Howe, took fire tho other morning and burned to the ground. Total loss of building and machinery, $3,000: insured for one-third. The fire caught from a stove. The "Topics Man" of the Stale Journal says quito a number of free trade democratic papers, especially those in southern localities, are begin ning to say that the Spanish treaty gives us entirely "too much sugar for a cent.'' In the French Chamber of Deputies tho other day the Minister of Marine and Colonics stated that five points on the coast of Madagascar had been occupied by the French, and that a complete blockade of the Island was impossible- A fatal landslide in the moun tain near Periara, Spain, destroyed many houses and buried 48 persons, 18 of whom were rescued alive. It is reported that 900 persons were buried beneath the ruins of the build ings of Alluncales. The suit of the government against H. S. Lovejoy and bis bondsmen for $13,000 has terminated in favor of the government. Chas. P. Matbewson, P. Schwenk, Alex. Bear, S. W. Hayes and J. S. McClary were among the number of the bondsmen. Candidates for Chief Clerk of the House are becoming quite numerous. Among the latest mentioned is Frank H. Wilson of Cass county; he is backed by the entire Caes county del egation, and is very highly endorsed by those who know him best. John Lambert or Eugene Mum bert, who robbed the B. & M. depot at David City, some time ago, was sentenced the other day by the dis trict court to three years in the pen itentiary. When arrested he gave his name as John Lambert and when put on trial answered to the name of Eugene Mumbert. Other points as well as Grand Island and Lincoln are making strong efforts to secure the State Fair. The business men of Omaha held a meet ing the other evening at the Paxton Hotel at which 150,000 was subscrib ed to secure the Fair for the next five years. Bids for tho location will be opened on the 20th of January. The editorial portion of the Chica go dailies generally is satisfactory on the transportation question, but it' seems somewhat singular that their Nebraska correspondents are sin gularly one-sided in the coloring that they give to Nebraska affairs. Here, for instance, is a Lincoln correspon dent of the Inter-Ocean, who under takes to say that the recent rate wars and reduction in transportation charges have in a measure removed the cause for "adverse legislation," and more of the like ; that most peo ple forget that it costs nearly as much to build and equip a road in Ne braska as elsewhere, when at the same time there are not nearly so many people to patronize them nor so many pounds of freight to carry as the more thickly settled states. Of course it would be expected that such a correspondent would wind up his batch of information by sayiug, "no legislation of special importance is anticipated from the incoming mem bers" of the legislature. Whether this special correspondent docs or does not anticipate such legislation, it is very evident that the producers and merchants will be greatly dis appointed if some fair attempt at legislation is not made. Oub exchanges report quite a wran gle between the two factions of Ne braska democracy, headed by Miller and Morton respectively, at the recent meeting of the State democratic cen tral committee at Lincoln. Wo do not know whether tho reports are strictly true, but it is said that Dr. Miller made a big scoro in the way of a victory over Morton in disposing of the applications for office from Ne braska to the incoming democratic administration. The Doctor ib justly regarded aB a man of decided influ ence among the democrats of Nebras ka, and cannot fail to make a favora ble impression in all their business or political meetings. Our readers will remember that J. Robt. WilHamB, (who was the Demo-cratic-antimonopoly candidate for Judge in this district) absconded from David City several weeks ago leaving a large number of creditors to mourn his untimely departure, and to wish they had never seen the clever scoundrel. It seems that some effort has been made to bring him to punishment; at least, it is now re ported that he was arrested Dec. 22, at St. Thomas, Ontario, charged with forging the name of F. H. Angel to a note of $1,400 and negotiating the same at the First National Bank at Seward, Nebr. It is said he takes the matter very coolly. According to one method suggest ed for relieving the president elect of the clamor of office-seekers, it is pro posed that the burden be laid upon the congressmen (where they happen to be democrats) and where they do not, then upon tho unsuccessful dem ocratic competitors for congressional honors. In the appointment line this wonld make Neville more powerful than Dorsey, and Brown and Stickel of more use to an applicant than Weaver and Laird. The steamer Oxenholme, from New York for Liverpool, arrived tho other day in Qucenstown harbor. She ex perienced terrific weather apd lost many head of cattle. The heads and legs of dead and living cattle can be seen protruding through the cattle pens and hanging over the side of the vessel. The uppor deck of the steam er is a confused m&63 of dead and liv ing cattle. Many carcasses were thrown overboard and washod ashore. A correspondent remarks that "visitors to New Orleans are aston ished to find that the sewers are open streams of water at the sides of the streets and running away from the river instead of toward it; to see wells built up from the ground, not dug into it ; and to learn that the cem eteries are veritable 'cities of the dead' the tombs boing little houses with gables and roofs, and arranged in avenues and squares." Dr. J. B. Hubbell, who was sent to Virginia by the Red Cross Associa tion at Washington to examine the fatal disease prevailing there, has mado a report, and in his description of the symptoms he shows that it must have been cholera, and in some cases in a mild form which did not prove fatal ; in others, of a more vio lent form, which jn every case proved fatal. The county poor-house near Lapeer, Mich., was burned the other night, the clothing and supplies being de stroyed. The inmates were driven out in the intense cold, and suffered severely. An insane woman perished in the flames, and another ran a long distance through the snow before being captured. In the circuit court at Little Rock, Ark., the other morning Adolph Parker and Jack Clifford, two of the train robbers, were sentenced to the penitentiary, Parker for six years and Clifford for seven years. The trial of Chok, who turned state's evidence, was continued till the next term. The Palestine beeB are regarded as remarkable, and recently a gentleman in Jerusalem forwarded to this coun try a queen bee by mail, the first ever sent. It came through in twenty three days, and within a week after its arrival began to lay. News from Madrid states that bandits entered the Catholic church and house of the priest at Cortelos, Galicia, for the purpose of pillage. Failing to get money they tied the priest in a heap of straw, and burned him to death. Mrs. Pulitzer, wife of the well- known editor, distributed to 220 children at New York, Christmas, $1,500 worth of shawls, overcoats, toys, &c. CONGRESSIONAL. Sammary r Ike Most Important Dolags of the Body. SENATE. Logan from the committee on mil itary affairs reported the military academy bill. The bill passed without debate.

Randall called up tho adjournment resolution and moved concurrence in the senate amendment, which pro vides that tho recess shall bogin to-day and last till Jan. 5th '85. Agreed to. Adjourned till the 5th. Xortared by Robbers. Wheeling, W. Va., Dec. 24. At 8 o'clock last night, at the residence of Elias Marting, a rich bachelor living four miles east of this city, three masked men entered the house by force and bound Mr. Marting. Search ing the house, they found nothing of any value, and "then proceeded to deeds that would disgrace an Indian. Marting was stripped of all his cloth ing and red-hot pokers were laid to his back, while the fiends laughed at the screams and the agony of their victim, whose yells filled the house. Shovelfuls of red-hot coals were tossed upon him, and his hair was burned off his head. All the time he was exhorted to tell where his wealth was bidden. He told them where to find about $1,000 all he had in the house. He was not believed, and the thieves again began their devilish work. Pans of hot grease were set on tho floor and Marting was mado to stand in them until his flesh peeled from his feet. He fainted, but was restored only to undergo new tor tures. A straw bed was emptied of its contents, which were piled around the man and .then fired. The flames completely enveloped him, and he was horribly burned. About mid night, believing him to he dying, the robbers fled. At 10 o'clock this morn ing Marting was found unconscious by two neighbore, who went to his house on an errand! Medical aid was summoned and be was revived suffi ciently to tell the story of his tortures. A posse is in search of the thieves, and if caught they will bo banged on the spot. Marting is highly connect ed in this city. AHBual leeetiag of Alliance.

Darling, Juniata, Nebr., as soon as Jan. 12th, giving name of person and place of starting. It is expected that the sessions will be very interesting. A terrific explosion occurred in Pratt's Astral Oil Works in the east ern part of Brooklyn the other day. The first explosion commingled the flame of one oil tank with gas of a second tank and a second explosion followed almost immediately. These two explosions made free 10,000 bar rels of oil, and all this flaming mass "catching on" to the river of melted snow was carried into every nook and cranny of the works. Nearly all the buildings destroyed, and the loss will reach between $500000, and $600, 000. The shock of tho two explo sions broke the windows of all the houses in the neighborhood, and sent people in terror flying into the street. Two slight Bhocks of earthquake were felt at Madrid, on the 25th inst. Shocks at Gibraltar were also felt, and in the southern provinces. There was great alarm among the people of Granda, Malaga. Two persons were killed by falling walls. .Several houses, including the telegraph sta tion at Yalez, province of Malaga, were badly injured. Many persons were injured at Loja, Motrie and Olbama. The convent at Seville was partially destroyed. Several persons ' i I were killed elsewhere. Exaiaiaatioa. Syuopsis of a sermon preached Sab bath Dec. 21st, 1884, in the Presby terian churches of Columbus and Lost Creek. Text 2 Cor. 13:5. "Examine your selves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves." Two questions are suggested to an inquiring mind. 1st. What ia the faith? 2d. Am I in the faith? In other words, on what foundation rest the Christian church and Christian hopes ? And am I on that founda tion ? Am I a Christian ? A hearty self-examination will be followed by blessed results leading to comfort if you are in the faith, and being the shortest way to the cross and the Saviour, if you are not. Self-examination would be timely now. Wo settle our accounts at the close of tho year. How about the account with God? The year will close and we know not how soon onr lives may close. "Who kuoweth what a day may bring forth ?" Self-examination is rational. You would inquire concerning the validity of an earthly inheritance. Is not n eternal inheritance worth careful thoqght? What is the faith spoken of? The taith in. which our fathers and mothers lived and died; the faith that cheered tho patriarchs and prophets; the faith which the glor ious Apostles preached, the faith in which the blessed martyrs died. Faith in one God and ono mediator between God aud man. Faith which nromDts us to confess to men tho offences committed against them, and make amends, but to confess to God and not to a mau, the sins committed against God and ask, from him, par don in the namo of Christ. THE FOUNDATION of our hopes is mado of tho most en during material, fiuer than granite. Granite melted in the great Chicago Are, but this will stand the flames of the judgment. Our foundation is Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages. The true church, built on this foundation, has not only stood but grown stronger, as for thousands of years it has withstood the shock of battle, the gnawing tooth of time and the waste of centuries. In the name of Christ, I invito you to build on this foundation. Morality will not atone for the sins that are past. It is not deep enough for a foundation. It does not reach the heart. The moralist knows his heart is full of evil thoughts, like a cage full of unclean birds. Other founda tion can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Christ. All other ground is sinking land. Having examined the faith and looked at the foundation, the next inquiry is PERSONAL. Are you in the faith? on the foun dation : "Examine yourselves." There are hindrances to self-examination. It may be well to re connoiter. If we had to meet enemies in battle it would be well to viow their position from a commanding point, observe their uumbers and the strength of their position, so that, in troops, rations, arras and ammunition, we might be prepared to meet and conquer them. Look, first at the Lieutenant General of all our enemies, Satan, ne will try to hinder self examination, keep the godly from this source of assurance, comfort and working strength. Satan is unwilling a lost sinner should examine himself, lest, seeing his peril, he will escape from him to Christ the refuge. How could Satan get so many to travel willingly to hell, if they would only notice the road they travel and in quire where it ends? If the snare is in sight, the birds will not enter it. Satan is too cunning an angler to scare tboso he is after with his hook and line, with a noise and his own appearance, so he labors to prevent a searching ministry, or to give sinners hatred to the truth or ill-will toward preachers, or put them to sleep under the Gospol. In these ways he would steel-harden their hearts against the truth. Another great hindrance arises from the wicked. Their ex ample, their merry company and talk, their continually insisting on worldly business and pleasure, their ridicule, scoffs at godly persons, their persuasions, allurements and tnreats are all of them great hindrances to thought on the condition of the soul. God scarcely ever opens the eyes of a poor sinner to show him his danger but immediately Satan's servants are ready to deceive and quiet him down in the service of his old master. It may be well now to give some rules and suggest some aids to self examination, if indeed, there are any ready to begin it. If no one will apply the rules, it were idle to give them. We have not inquired into our spiritual condition as often or as carofully as we should. AIDS TO SELF-EXAMINATION. 1st. Empty the mind of every other thought and care that might distract or divide it. Testing your title to heaven is a great work and will require your undivided mind. 2nd. Choose a place where you will not be interrupted. Enter your closet a place from which you can exclude the world. It may be in your house, barn, office, shop, field, or on the highway. 3rd. Humble your heart before God and ask the Holy Spirit to assist you in the work. 4th. Have in your heart or mind or on paper, some verses of scripture detscribing Christians and Christian living. Apply these scriptural tests to your life, sec whether your life conforms to the rnle. Our Saviour says, "By their fruits ye shall know them." And by your life and feelings yon are to know yourself. 5th. If your heart is unwilling and your mind wavers, by all the powers of reason compel them to the r - " self - examination. Interest and des- tiny are at aMkn. 6th. I) not bcirin the oxamimt tion with the determination of giviug the vcrdict-in your own favor, liko a bribed juror who listens as though he would' give a just decision, when before hand, be has, without any evidence, determined how the case shall go. Determine that you will give the verdict in accordance with the law and the evidenoe. Very often, persons in st&tiug their case to their lawyer give ouly one Hide of it, state what they can prove and do not give what can be proved by the other party, state what they wish and not the true case. Thus the lawyer, by not being at first admitted into the merits of the case, is confused and defeated, when in the real trial, be has to meet tho lawyers and wit nesses on the other side. Do not act thus. As you love your soul, do not begin this self-examination by shut ting your eyes and closing your ears against unpleasant facts in your his tory. Thus you would shut out, from tho primary examination, im portant and decisive evidence, which will be admitted by Jesus, tho im partial Judge, in the final trial. When should you begin this self examination? This question is ans wered by saying the words "ex amine" and "prove" are in this vorse, in tho Greek, both in the simplo im perative. We know that always means "now." Not examine yourself to-morrow or at some subsequent time, but now. It is a mistake to suppose that re ligious, like scientific questions, may be laid aside now and taken up at a time when the mind is ready. Our employments and surroundings are constantly educating us, above aud out of our own power. Decido to examine yourself to-morrow and to morrow, somo othor reason for delay will arise. Tho Saviour spake with authority. The Gospel challenges your im mediate attention to spiritual in terests. "Seek ye tho Lord while he may be found." "Call upon him while he is near." "Ye know not what a day may bring forth." Deatb, with lance in rest and deadly aim, may now be ready to smite you down. Impeni tent sinner, be persuaded to begin an examination of yourself, now long would you travel a strange road with out making any inquiry ? You would ask "Am I right, sir, or wrong?" at the next fork or cross roads, "shall I take to the right or left, or keep straight on?" Why then so careless about life's great journey? Traveling a strange road without in quiry, when you found you were wrong you could retrace your steps and begin the journey anew, but O, how about making your life-journey without being sure you are right? Ah, none return from the other end of the road to start anew. You must travel toward heaven or you will never arrive there. Starting south you may, by a circuitous route, reach Omaha, but there is only one road to heaven. Most people are going to hell, just now, and do not know il. I did not make the calculation. Jesus, who is too wise to make a mistake and too good to lie, made it. He Gays there are two roads. This one is broad, it is thronged with travelers, it is a down-grade track, and ends in destruction. That ono is narrow and straight, and few find and travel it. See the Sermon on the Mount, Matt. 7 :13. Is it not better to be in a select company and going to heaven, than in a crowd and going to hell ? Chicken-pox is going the rounds at Neligh. The Washington monument weighs 811,220 tons. Train robbery is a capital offense in Arkansas. Thieves are annoying the merchants of Ainsworth. Last week they had fresh, ripe to matoes in Florida.

One hundred and thirty one lives were lost in the Gloucheater fisheries during the year, leaving fifty widows. The citizens of Lincoln are now furnished the time by the ticks of the town clock which numbers the hours. The steamer Olivette, 1,400 tons, went ashore the other day off Mor iches, L. I., and will probably prove a total loss. A woman at Plattsmouth has sued a dentist there for $10,000 damages for injuring her jaw, in an attempt to extract a tooth.

Recent news from Berlin an nounces an enormous fiud of copper that has been made in the Luderitz district and that the land in conse quence is extremely valuable. A York county, Pa., grocer has sworn out a warrant against his wifo for pouring a gallon a molasses over his head. Although there was no charge for it, he objected to receiving his goods by that route. The brig, Belle, of Windsor, N. S., coal Iadened, burned at soa one day last week.
