dwellings and farm property imme

discount of interest, for 60 days, as is
the role of most other companies.
The Seward Reporter is authority
for saying that a case will be made up
and submitted to the Supreme Court
in September, to settle the validity of
the act concerning register of deeds.
Befobz you insure your dwelling,
see an agent of the Home Fire, and
examine its policy, and you will be
convinced that it gives you more in
surance for the money you pay, than
any other company doing business in
Nebraska.
It appears to be the intention of
the President to give the public dis
tinctly to. understand that' this is a
civil service reform administration,
and the impression seems to be grad
ually obtaining, particularly among
sundry Democrats, that perhaps it is.

Gov. Murb&y, of Utah, has been
applied to by a committee of Mor

Higgins says that he has been
sweating blood this week because of
something the Journal, said, and
otherwise shows evident signs of
mental agony. t aught be well for
him, if his agony ooatiaoes too severe,
to follow a receipe he prints in the

viz, soak its head in warm water. It
ought to mitigate his pains.

Milton Smith, the Osceola wife
murderer, was executed at that place
on the 24th. About four thousand
people assembled to witness the
hanging, and everything went off
smoothly after the multitude of peo
ple 6wayed to and fro until they
broke down the wire fence and en
closure so they could look upon the
horrid sight of hanging a man by the
neck until be was dead. It was the
first legal execution iu Polk county,

The Ulysses Dispatch, in a leagthy
editorial, defends Senator Yaa Wyck
against the aspersions of his political

stands up in the Senate and speaks

Of the tolling millions and against
the combined opposition of organized
capital. Though differing in politics,
so two men of this nation stand
closer to the heartB of the laboring
classes of their respective states, than

Ohio's proud Democratic son, Allen
G. Thurman; and no two men are
more hounded on every band by rail

A correspondent of

the senatorial committee on Inter
State Commerce: "If the senators
desire to view their problem from a
farmer's standpoint, let tbem bait
their train of palace cars at some little
way station, don a hickory suit, and
seek employment on the neighboring
farms. Let tbem learn by observa
tion how thoso farmers aBd their
families live and toil, what oppor
tunities they have for social enjoy
ment and mental culture, and what
remuneration they receive. Let them
find out the cost of producing a
bushel of grain, or a pound of meat,
what is its value at, the railroad sta
tion, the cost of transporting it to the
place of consumption ; and; by com
paring these data with the amount of
capital invested in production and in
transportation, determine the relative
pritt f the producer and the carrier.

For months General Grant's suffer
ings have attracted the' attention and
sympathy of all the people, 'and at
last, on Thursday morning, July 23d,
at Mt McGregor, N. T., he sank
quietly, painlessly to rest, his great
vigor of life contending against his
ailment until the whole strength of
the body was powerless to contest
further.
Citizens of the Republic- may well
pause and review the life of this great
fellow-citizen of theirs to whota,more
than to an j other one man, perhaps,
they owe the perpetuity of their gov
ernment, and the youth of the land
will find here fit food for reflection.
He was born at Point Pleasant,
Ohio, April 27, 1822. At the age of
seventeen he entered the West Point
Military Academy. Four years later
he graduated and entered the army ;
two years afterwards saw him com
missioned as lieutenant. In 1848 be
was married to Miss Julia T. Dent,
and their household life was a model
of purity and devotedness. In 1853
Grant was promoted to captain and
in 1854 resigned. April 19, 1861, he
reported for duty to Gov. Yates and
in June was made colonel of the 21st
Regiment of Illinois Volunteers. In
Aug. of the same year, he was com
sdsstoned brigadier general. Nov.
7, '61, he fought the battle of Bel
mont ; Feb. G, '62, he captured Fort
Henry, following it up ten days
afterwards by taking Fort Donelson ;
April 6-7 came Sbiloh. July 4, '63, a
thrill of joy electrified the country
by the news that Graut had captured
Yicksburg, a stronghold of the ene
my. Nov. 24-25 came Chattanooga.
March 9. '64, Grant was made Lieu
tenant General and on May 3d he
moved on Richmond, and on May 5,
6 and 7th fought the terrible- battles
df the Wilderness. It & said that on
bis accession to the command of the
Army of the Potomac- he remarked
that "it was a, brave army, but it
seemed to hta they bad never fought
their bajlitoa through, Evidently he
meaa ift should be different, and his
saying i will fight it through on this
, 1m It it takes all summer" gave the
country assurance that he had fully
studied the situation and knew he
was taking the proper course to over
throw the Confederate army. May 9
to 12 came the battle of Spottsylvania
Court House, then June 1 of Cold
Harbor, June 17 and July 30 attacks
on Petersburg, March 29 the follow
ing year Hatcher's lis,. Fiw Forks
on April 1, tb& capture of Petersburg
April 2, c $h&m'otfd April 3 and the
surrendes of Lee April 9.
GjeosseJ Graut was like uo other
ui iu all the history of the republic.
'aBd wbeu we remmber tho seeming
chance that brought him to tender his
services to Gov. Yates, and the un
broken chabhof successes with which
he bound ihe- southern army, we may
well behave that a providence guides
in th'adairs of men.
k a republic, he was a model
soldier to those who saay follow him.
ne iougni, not tor conquest, not tor
the lova of shedding blood, not for
fame or ambition, not for power or
plaee as mauy of the generals known
to htBtory had done, but he was a
soldier by education, and a patriot
who aimed to do his whole duty to
the government under which he lived.
He knew the army and loved it ; he
trusted his subordinates, and was not
jealous of their excellent qualities
except to see that their merits were
known to their countrymen as they
deserved to be known.
Circumstances do not make the
man, but they are necessary to de
velop latent qualities, just as fire may
be struck from t fiint, which other
wise would forever remain concealed.
Ability, couyge, patriotism, all In a
high degree fonud opportunity for
wrk, ai Gn. Grant's entire mili
tary career is evidence of a pure love
of sountry in a continuous line of
ooaduct clear of all mere personal
(ambitions.
He was particularly successful in
the choice of bis trusted subordinates,
and seemed, by a natural instinct,
especially fitted to command. It ia
said that when at West Point, his
favorite study wan mathematics. In
his career as a soldier, be certainly
showed that ne learned his lesson
wt-11 to be definite, exact, precipe,
and it will not do to say that his uni
form snecees was due to luck or a
happy chanc. The proper man had
arrived ou the field, and the result
was but a question of time. Gen.
Grant's superlative merits were rec
ognised by President Lincoln long
befese- the final triumphs which repealed-
his greatness to the world at
large, aud it was extremely gratifying
to the great president that here, at
last, was a. general who did excellent
work with the materials at hand, and
was not given to blaming the govern
ment for reverses in the field. - After
Lee's surrender, Gen. Grant's career
was more eventful than usually falls
to great men. July 25, '66, he was
commissioned as general; Aug. 12,
'67, made Secretary of War; May 21,
'68, nominated for President, and in
72 re-eleeted to that high office.
It has often been said that Grant
was not a statesman. Military critics
without number bad declared bim no
general, but success following fast
after success until the final victory
came, disproved the theories of the
critics. So, in a less marked degree
perhaps, but still decisive, the chief
events of Grant's administration, the
animating purposes of the president,
his attitude towards the late Confed
erates, go to show bis native ability ;
and the unparallelled prosperity of
the country during his administration
shows that the entire body of the
people were not the least disturbed
as to the stability of tbe government
with Grant at tbe head. .
. His later career is more nearly iu.
the recollection of our readers.
Eight years ago he retired from the
1 presidency.- Two years were patted
In foreign travel, tbs General being
everywhere received with welcome.
Tbe last year of bis life was.clouded
by financial reverse, the effect of .the
rascalitgrpf others, but the very last
hours or the eventful life were passed
in writing his memoirs which the
General fondly believed would give
his'beloved wife and children a fitting
income, after he was gone.
.. Stricken with cancer, his physicians
giving no hope of enre, the last
months of his life have witnessed a
determined struggle with but one
possible result, final surrender.
He has passed over to tbe land of
the immortals ; to us who remain his
memory will be cherished as one who,
all things together, was the moBt illus
trious of American citizens.

I have had hereditary scrofula
broken ont on me for eight years.
My mother and one sister died with
it, and I, supposing that I would go
as other members of the family had,
bad despaired of life. The treatment
of mercury and potash seemed to
aggravate instead of curing the dis
ease. In this condition I was pressed
to use Swift's Specific. After taking
six bottles the fearful ulcers on my
neck and arms disappeared and the
scars only remain to remind me of
my sufferings. Had I taken S. S. S.
at first, I wonld have been a well man
long ago.

Eczema.
I was affected for nearly four years
with eczema. Tbe doctors called it
at first erysipelas. I was treated by
physicians. I was cured by Swift's
Specific. I used about thirty bottles
and have had no trouble with it since.
I refused to take it, even after it was
recommended to me by others for
some time such was my prejudice to
tbe name of it; but having tried it
myself, I now believe it is the best
blood purifier in all my knowledge.
It did another thing for me. I bad
suffered from piles for many years.
Since taking this medicine I have
been relieved, and believe it cured
me. . R. H. Jones.

Editor Journal: There is per
haps no place in the United States
where a greater variety of climate
may be observed in a couple of hours
ride than from Cape Horn in the
Sierra Nevadas to Sacramento, a dis
tance of about 70 miles. We leave
the land of snow at about 10 o'clock,
and are comfortably dressed with a
heavy woolen 6uit and an overcoat,
and as we descend the western slope
of the Sierra Nevadas and the cli
mate becomes more balmy and grad
ually warmer we are not thoroughly
aware of tbe wonderful change that
is taking place until at noon we look
around and behold we are in the
Sacramento valley and it is mid
harvest headers and threshers are at
work and tho thermometer stands at
105, which is, we are informed, quite
moderate for this time of the year,
the heat often rising to 115 and re
maining thus tor several days; but
the writer being rather uncomforta
ble in what is called a moderate cli
mate proceeded down the San Joaquin
valley to Stockton, and finding the
temperature at 100 and 108 for two
successive days again moved on, this
time to the Big Trees of the Sierra
Nevada mountains, which rank fore
most among the sights of California
and are usually considered by eastern
people to be more imaginary than
real, such at least was the opiuion of
the writer before having seen them.
Oue of the largest groves is situated
in Calaveras county and is reached by
stage over a rough and mountainous
country some 40 miles-from Valley
Springs, tbe terminus of the San
Joaquin & Sierra narrow guage R. R.
The trees of this grove are of the
species of red wood kuown as the
"Sequoya," many of them are 25 to
30 ft. in diameter and from 300 to 500
ft. in height. One of the largest lias
been cut down aud a dance hall erect
ed ou the stump which is 32 ft. in
diameter aud makes a very substan
tial floor. Another stands in the
wagon road and the teams pass
through a hole in the tree which was
originally a rotten spot but has beeu
enlarged until it is now about 12 ft.
high by 10 ft. wide and still the tree
lives and continues to grow. Anoth
er tree has fallen across a canyon
making a foot bridge some 400 ft. in
length which is reached at either end
by a flight of stairs. Tbe larger trees
of the group are named iu honor of
America's great men and marked by
name plates attached to the trees.
Calaveras county is also quite noted
as a gold mining district ; among the
foremost quartz, mines is tbe Eldorado
or Sheep Ranch mine which has been
worked for the past 12 years and con
tinues to furnish sufficient gold bear
ing quartz to supply a 30-stamp mill
day aud night. The quartz is being
elevated from a shaft 800 ft. deep
from the bottom of which two tunnels
are run some 1600 ft. in length. These
minee, we are informed, paid from
the surface and how well may be
judged from the facts that tbe ma
chinery used has cost some 1500,000
and the expense of carrying on the
mines is 'about 1500 per day. The
placer mines of this county, generally
speaking, havo failed, and with the
exception of a few gangs of Chinamen
are only worked by hydraulic pro
cess; this, however, still pays well
and is" a wonderful use of natural,
power to take the place of the pick
and shovel. The Whiskey Hill hy
draulic mine receives its water from
six large reservoirs or lakes situated
at intervals along the summit of the
mountains, constructed by filling the
lower end of a canyon thereby catch
ing tbe water wbich falls in the rainy
season and reserving it until needed;
when it is conducted through massive
iron pipes down the mountain side to
tbe scene of action and is compressed
from a pipe three feet in diameter at
the summit to a five-inch stream at
tbe giant, which is a huge nozzle some
14 ft. in length made of heavy iron
and mounted on a pivot and is ele
vated or swung from side to side by
means of a lever in washing down
the mountain. This has a pressure
sufficient to throw a stream of water
1600 ft, and when turned upon the
mountain tears open the ground and
throws huge bowlders about like
playthings and In this way it ia all
washed away and carried dowu the
canyons to the river except the gold
which settles to tbe. bottom of (the
sluices and remains uuiil cleaned up,
which is ouly done about once in
three months and at the last cleaning,
up had accumulated to the amounf'of
about $150,000, wbich is tbeu takenTo
the mint. But for fear you are
already weary I will trace it no fur
ther at present.
Respectfully yours,
Fred Jewell.

Ed. Journal: As suggested by
you, on a recent visit to Fairmont in
this state I made inquiry as to tbe
result in a business line, of having
saloons in adjoining towns, on the
business of the town not having
saloons. So far as I enquired, the
opiuion was unanimous that finan
cially it is profitable to close the
saloons. Even those who use liquor
and who were formerly opposed to
closiug the saloons, now admit that
for other business it pays to shut up
the saloons.
One very intelligent man, editor of
a republican paper, states that Fair
mont never knew what it was to be
financially prosperous until tbe
saloons mro closed; that this is the
third year they have tried it; the first
year business improved, last year they
bad a good year, and this year, so far,
ia the best year they have ever had;
that Graftou, eight miles west, has
this year closed her saloon for the
first time, having giveu up the idea
of its helping business ; that at Exeter,
eight miles east, they were still fun
ning a saloon and having very hard
times.
On my return, I saw a business man
of Exeter and asked him how busi
ness was. He auswered, dull, dull. I
then asked if they had saloons, and if
he thought that had anything to do
with it, ho said, yes, and he had been
talking with their hardware man
about that very thing; whilst all
other business was dull and the town
not improving, tho saloon had ship
ped in a full car of beer, sold it, and
got another car in one day less than a
month. Said he, "I have watched
this thing and though men drink in
towns whero they have no saloons it
does not swallow up all the loose
cash, and make it impossible for other
business men to collect what is due
tbem, or to sell tor cash as saloons do."
Mr. Editor, we have so olten heard
that it would kill a town to shut the
saloon, that it has appeared doubtful
if it would do to kill rats, as most
prosperous towns have tbem.
Respectfully,
E. A. Gerhard.
