Michael Davitt, the great Irish leader, last week visited his friend Thomas Brennan, of Lincoln, Nebras ka. The Omaha police made G77 arrests during tho. month of August, prob ably half what there ought to have been. The blacksmiths of Omaha have lately formed a union and demanded and received an advance of 33 per cent in their wages.

A Buffalo paper Fays that just be fore the opening session of the savants in that city, Bishop Coxe remarked to a reporter: "I should liko to cor rect the proof sheet of my prayer, you newspaper men and printers are so unfamiliar with prayer that you're pretty certain to bungle it up badly." Henry J. CnRiBTorn, a well known banker of Chicago, 6hot himself in the head with a pistol the other after noon, and died instantly. A great many reasons are assigned why be committed suicide, but it is stated that he had been drinking heavily for gome time p6t and was thought to be partially insane. The citizens of Browdie township, 111., were siaruea a suon iimo ago oy a terrible explosion. On examina tion it was found to have been caused by tut eruption on the farm of Christ ian Lunkerback, who states that when the explosion occurred a cloud of smoke and dust was thrown sixty ;n ihn air. in which were bits of materials, stumps of trees, roots and J tones, and a deep hole was leu in the eartb, wfaieb hu not yet been explored. Three Ceats a Mile. While Brother Simmons of the Seward Jieporler was explaining that three-cents-a-mile-passenger-tariff bill that Van Wyck voted for in the Senate in 1.881, be might prop erly have added that on a motion to indefinitely postpone, the Senate being a tie, fifteen to fifteen, the presiding officer, Mr. Cams, of Sew ard, voted to postpone, thus defeat ing the measure. The bill had quite a history, as may be seen, by those interested, in examining Senate File No. 52, in the Senate Journal for. 1881. Briefly it was as follows: on the 19th day of the session the bill was introduced by Senator H. M. Wells. It was referred to the rail road committee of which John C Myers was chairman, the committee consisting of Myers, C. H. Gere, II. M. Wells, H. F. Cady, Isaac Powers, J. F. Burns and H. Zehruug. The bill was a plain, straight bill provid ing that the railroads of Nebraska should not charge more than three cents a mile for carrying passengers. There were serious defects in the bill, as introduced, one of which would have rendered it unconstitutional, had it passed in that shape. These were remedied when the bill came to be considered in committee of the whole. The measure run the uual gauutlet, but final action was taken on the 38th day. Erviu moved that the consideration of the bill be in definitely postponed. The yeas and nays being demanded, were as fol lows: for postponment, Ballantine, Burns, of Dodge, Cady, Coon, Daily, Ervin, Evans, (of Butler), Gere, (C. II., now of the railroad commission), Morse, Myers, Perkin?, Pieice, Powers, (late Attorney Genera!), Smith, (B. K., of Boone county), and Zehrung. Those voting against postponment, and thus going on the record as favoring the reduction of passenger rates to three cents a mile were : Baker, Burns, (ot York), Dinsmore, Doane, Graham, Harrington? Howe, Taylor, Tefft, Turk, Turner, Van Wyck, (now U. S. Senator), Wells, Wherry and White. Being a tie vote, 15 to 15, the fate of that measuro in the Nebraska Sen ate, in tho year 1881, depended upon one man's vote, that of the presiding officer, Edward C. Carne, Lieut. Gov ernor, from the county of Seward. He voted for postponement, and thus helped to defeat one of the attempts made in the Nebraska legislature to fix a limit to railroad extortion. When the complete history of rail road legislation comes to. be written, there will bo some interesting chap ters for Nebraska, and one of them will bave considerable to say of Mr. Cams aud his perfect subserviency to. railroad influences. It will be well for the republican party of Nebraska when such men are not elected to office. The celebration ot the Knights of Labor on the Gib inst, of their annual holiday proved to be a gala day. In Boston 15,000 people took part in the grand procession, in which were rep resented all the laboring interests in that city. In Chicago 40,000 laborers united in a similar parade. In BBlti niore the demonstration was impos ing, the columns being composed of eight divisions, preceded by a pla toon of police. New York city turned out Xrom 15,000 to 20,000 la borers to celebrate the holiday, which was followed by a picnic. At Newark, N. J. 25,000 men took part in the procession. Levi M. Brobst, of West Poiut, Neb., was married to Miss Gussie Lefller ou the 1st of September, and they started on their weddiDg trip east to visit Brobst's parents at Slal ington, Pa., whom he had not seen in ten years. On the route, Brobst ac:cd strangely and near Annville, Pa., he leaped from the train, bidding hiB new bride good bye, and landed among the rocks down a steep bank. The train was stopped and with lamps the brakeman found the man gled and bleeding body down among the boulders. He was frightfully hurt, aud when brought to Reading died without uttering a word. Columrus has two candidates for the nomination for governor, on op posite sides of the fence, Hon. Lean der Gerrard being tho Republican aspirant, while Hon. James E. North is frequently mentioned as the Demo cratic nominee. Either gentleman would fill the Gubernatorial chair with dignity and grace, and should the two political conventions bring the choice for tho next governor down to a purely Columbus affair, there would be a very pretty race,and no mistake would be made, no mat ter which candidate is successful. JSlkhom Valleu JSTews. Advices from Ching Too Foo, the chief city of tho province of Schuen to Shanghai, China, tatc that the natives of the eastern part of that province and those of northern Co chin China have risen against the christians and are massacreing them and destroying their property. This activo persecution is attributed to the imprudence of the English and Am erican missionaries. In Cochin China, alone, fifty Christians have been killed, their houses burned and farms destroyed. It is said that whole villages occupied by christians have been destroyed. Last Sunday John Teidjen'a large new barn, 60x100 feet, and his old barn, 40x150 feet, were burned to the ground. Al6o 11 head of horses, 2 colts, 2 calves, 3,000 bushels of corn, wheat and oats, 300 ions of tame hay, all bis farm machinery, harness, etc. Tbeloes will be fully $10,000; in surance, $3,500. Mr. Teidjen was away from bis home at the time, and the hired man iu fighting the fire had his bands badly'burned, and .his hair and mustache singed. The origin of tbo fire is unknown. JUadison Chronicle, Wednesday morning last there was quite a wreck at Grand Island, caused by a misplaced switch. Tho engine and two fruit cars of a passen ger train ran off the track. The en gine was thrown on its side and badly demolished. A man by the name of Simon Koehler of Denver who was riding between the two fruit cars, was so tightly squeezed that a jack-screw was needed to extricate him. Though badly injured, he may recover. Cait. John L. Clem.assiatant quart ermaster, U. S. A., in the department of the Platte, is ordered to proceed to Ogden, Utah, for duty. A short leave of absence has been granted to Capt. Charles F. Humphrey, quarter master at Cheyenne, Wy. Major James F. Randlett, Ninth cavalry, has been aesigned to a station at" Fort Robin Bon, Neb. The commanding officer Cheyenne Ordinance Depot, Wy., will issue to the commanding officers of troops B, and E, Ninth cavalry, at Fort DuChesne, Utah, 64 each, of the new model Springfield carbines for trial. The State University at Lincoln opens iu all its departments Sept. 16. Eutrance examinations are to be held the two days proceeding. The Uni versity is the highest grade of the public free school of the state, and those who arc able to do bo, should tako advantage of the opportunity offered by the state for a higher edu cation than tbo district school affords. Walham Wandser, of Vermont, is giving the citizens of Lansing, Mich., considerable trouble in shoving off counterfeit coin. After bo wan hr rcsted, in his truuk was found eight hundred dollars in bogus gold and $1,200 in certificates of deposit on tho Landing Savings Bank. The coin ranged from $1 to $20 pieces, which could not be detected from..-the genuine, save for light weight. A severe rain, hail and wind storm visited Hastings, Neb., the other night. It blew in the west wall of the engine houso at the waterworks, damaging it materially also injured the opera bouse the B. & M. round house the Amphitheatre at the fair rounds : various residences were also damaged more or less. A coerespondent of the Madison Chronicle, signing himself 'Passen ger,"eays that tho railroad accident at Piatte Center was caused by rum, and that tho man drove his team Btraight down the track into the lace of the engine. He probably didn't examine the tracks very closely. Prince Alexander has fully de cided to proclaim his abdication. The Russian consulates in Bulgaria are distributing for signature petitions to the czar favoring the election of the prince of Oldenburg as successor to Prince Alexander. This course, it is said, has been taken at the request of Bismarck to save Bulgaria. A report was in circulation Fri day at Savannah, Ga., "that three skippers had arrived with the report that t hoy had been cruising around looking for Cuba, but that the island has disappeared and not a vestige of it is to be found above water." Tho skippers were doubtless half seas over. At Peoria, 111., a company of citizens with a capital stock of $25, 000, has been formed for the purpose of making known the advantages of tho place as a manufacturing city, and inducing manufacturers and others to locate there. A similar organization would be a most ex cellent thing for the growing towns of Nebraska. Rrv. E. W. Brady, post chaplain at Fort D. A. Russell, died suddenly September 9ih. Mr. Brady was well known to many of our Ohio readers. He was one of the many patriotic Methodist ministers who got into the army during the War of the Rebell ion. He was a genial geutlcman.

A Fresh Bhock of earthquake was felt in the city of Athens, Greese, on the 5th inst., and at Kavia and else where. Stuart S. Smiley, a young married man at Lincoln, shot himself through the bead the other day and died in stantly. Last week fell the heaviest rain ever known in the vicinity of Glas gow, Scotland. It did much damage to crops. Thomas Courtland Manning, of Louisville, has been appointed min ister to Mexico to succeed Henry R. Jackson, of Georgia, resigned. The greatest achievement of Sam Jones has been the reclamation of a man who traveled six years with a show and played a calliope. Rev. C. A. Johnson, of Canada, has discovered that Pittsburg is to be destroyed by a meteoric shower to ward the end of September. Jno. G. Hitchcock of Omaha, was picked up in the streets of Minneap lis in a dazed condition, and consign ed to an asylum for the insane. General Sheridan's famous horse that carried him to Winchester is now in the government museum at Gov ernor's Island, New York Harbor. It is generally believed that Gen.

Hart, of this state, register of the land office at McCook, Neb., and Jacob Steinmetz receiver of public moneys at the same place. The report that six imperial war ships are on their way to Halifax to assist in enforcing, the fishing clauses of the treaty of 1812 is discredited at the state and navy department.

The Chicago & Northwestern Co. sell tickets to Odd Fellows tor the next session of the Sovereign Grand Lodge at Bostou Council Bluffs to Boston aud return, $25 50. The San Francisco papers predict that San Francisco will capture the whole trado of southern Orcg-m as soon as the connection between the California and Oregon & California roads is made. Enterprise is what wins. Hast ings is forming a stock company tor tb purpose ot establishing a road grader manufactory. This enter prise will employ 150 meu it success ful. One cae of yellow fever was re ported last week at New York, being the fireman on the Atlas steamer "Aloo," named Grant Golden. He was being cared for at St. Vincent's hospital. The contributions last week to the Charleston sufferers amounted to $95, 000 which had been received from all sources, and it is believed that before they stop coming they will aggregate $500,000.

Three ncgros were lynched near McNutt Lake, Leefore county, Miss., the other night for an attempted as sault on some young ladies. After a fuli hearing of their case they were taken out and hanged. The Democrat thinks that the com ing Democratic State Convention should endorse Cleveland' adminis tration.

Journal: After a long si lence, I am induced to write you a communication that your read ers may know that your bumble servant still lives. The past summer in Denver has been very hot indeed. My partner, Gen. A. J. Sampson, aud bis son, Anderson, recently returned from a trip to tbo Pacific coast, where the General went to attend the G. A R. EucampmenL He was delighted with country, trip, people, and so forth. He took some pains to in quire into the labor movement on the coast. He reports 5,000 socialists in San Francisco, and only 12 anarchists in that whole country ; that California contains 75 trades union and 70 labor organizations. Eastern Colorado and western Ne braska are settling np very rapidly. Nebraskans occasionally call on the writer. Col. Robert Moran made quite a visit to the Queen City. Ho is one of the best of men and it is too bad that be suffers bo from asthma. He came to this country for relief and I guess be did not find much of it Mr. J as. Meagher and family have come and gone. Messrs. Lake and Miller from Creston have located homesteads near Jule6burg. Former ColumbuB residents who live in Denver so far as I can learn are getting along nicely. Dr. Bone steel is working up a good practice in his profession, ne has now five cases of typhoid fever. Patients are doing well. Mr. and Mrs. Palmer are prospering. They have a large circle of friends here and in Platte county. Mr. A. Henricb, the father of J. S., is the very "salt of the earth." E. IE. Dean, Esq., of David City, paid his respects. His daughter, Jessie, is still here. She thinks of teaching 1 a music d. at Longmou, this state. J. E. Munger, Eq , a promi n nt citizen or Columbus, called yes terday with his half brother, W. S. Anderson, who is running a grocery store in this city. Mr. Andorson used to hold the office of Commis sioner of Boone county, and came west on account of his health. Mr. A. M. Dorland aud family resido on Capitol Hill.

Mrs. Smith comes to this city occa sionly to be doctored. Dan P. Had field has filed a suit against his wife Lizzie, nee Burgees, for divorce on tbo grouuds of adultery and deser tion. It is to be hoped that Platto county will keep her matters straight, When I was back there last spring, I was informed that many of the roads laid out by her Board of Commissioners are illegal on account of the want of the proper steps being taken in the first instance to get jurisdiction; that thore was a suit pending at that time in the District court involving some such question, and Judge Post was inclined to follow the rulings of the Ohio Supreme court to the effect that such Boards are quasi judicial tribunals and they must show the authority upon which they act, in every instauce. Such decisions are just, because man's private property should not be taken for any purpose unless iu accordance with the law. The producers, the fanning com munity of Nebraska, seem to be wrestling with high taxes and rail way tariffs. They toil and reap not. The sharks live easily aud despoil them, still we cili this a laud of lib erty and just ictf. Today, monopolies have this country by tho throat, and unless something is done to prevent, they will choke it to death. Such oppression is the main cause of the discontent that is spread over our fair laud. What else can wo expect, when it is almost impossible for any person, other than a corporation tool or attorney, to be eloctcd to the United States Senate, iu not a few of our states ? Yours truly, Byron Millett. Corrispottfreittt. In this department the people talk, anil not the editor. Each writer must hold himself ready to defend hia principles and his statements of facts. "Iu the mul titude of counsel there is wisdom." En. Jouknai.. Editors Journal: I have been a constant reader of the Journal for years and pronounce it a republican paper from the ground up but will take this occasion to remind you that if you wish to make a paying busi ness of politics, you must work with our machine instead of fooling your time away workiug with that part ot the human raco generally known as the common herd. That they are vastly in the majority matters not as you already know we have a way of disposing of them when it comes to the grand, round up at election times. How do we do it? with brains and money, of course. To convince you I will give you a few pointers. Do you remember how we got away with the common herd when thn majority at the lost legislature tried to get in a trifle of legislation to ena ble them to talk business to our "little enterprise" generally called R. R. financiering by our side, though commonly known by the name of "R. It. extortion" by the common herd. Well of course they were in the majority, but we got away with them and made them swallow our little board of R. R. commissioners, and we are going to do it again. Do you notice how the railroads and Lincoln aro moving to gether and how Omaha and other localities kick? Do you hear any talk of removing tho capitol of Ne braska to Columbus or any other central point, or much of any pros pect of doing away with our usual appropriations for public buildings down at Lincolu? You see when it comes to money and brains vs. num bers and good intentions, as a rule the latter usually get left. We have men paid in various ways for work ing for our interests in every county in the state, republicans as well as democrats, also republican and demo cratic papers. We will admit that we bave a big job on hand this fall to dispose of that pet of the common herd, Chas. U. Van Wyck, but we have got to beat bim if it takes all the money in the pool. In my letter next week will tell why we want to beat him and how we are going to do it. Financier. ADDITIONAL LOCAL. Bin lark Touraklp. Threshing ia in progress. T. M. Wilson has got his seed corn gathered. Haying is about finished. Emil Carr is inakiug hay for J. Wagner of Columbus. Miss Laura Butlor . is visitin g friends at Richland. Louis Nounburg sold quite a num ber of cattle last week. Misses Annie and Allice Stevens, of Genoa were visiting at O. D. But- lers last week. R. C. Mueller came very near loos ing one of his valuable horses with tbe colic tbe other day. W. H. Swartzley commenced his school on the 30th. He is engaged for eight months. We noticed about a dozen loads of hogs going by last week from lower Shell Creek; we suppose they are getting afraid of the cholera too. W. H. Swartzley broke one of the springs to his buggy by leaving it too heavily laden with melluns one even ing last week ; we suspect where he was going. A 15-v ears-old son of Mre. Karhine has a badly swelled face resulting fr.om bis getting cold iu a smtll swell ing which first appeared ou his lower jaw. , From present prospects pork will be pretty dear the coming winter aud :printr, hogs being About as scarce as "hen's teeth" in this sectiou of the' country. There was quite a gathering at Otto Mueller's one day last week, at which the Bismark thresher and "masher," Fred Cole was present, riding about five miles to see the girls again. The ate rain put the ground in pretty good condition to plow, al though it. did not wet dowu very deep. Some of the neighbors have availed themselves of the opportuni ty and aro turning the weeds under. Charles. Revetted fro i the Grave. My wile for many years was afflicted with a blood disease which baffled the most skillful treatment, and finally resulted in a very large ulcerated and ugly looking running sore on one of her lnr.lH. which had beon growing larger and larger for the last tour years, discharging quantities of pus or matter, and was so rapidly undermining her health that I almost dospaired of effecting a euro. I tried every known remedy, such as the sarsaparilla and potash mixtures and prescriptions of the best physicUnH, with no benefit in any way. A few months ago my attention wan called !o 5. S. S. I procured some of this incdiciue, which she besran to take, and in a short lime increased in nosh and streugth, and the sore, which was then larger than my hand aud reached t. the bone, upkmii to heal. After continuing ha use a Jew weeks, she regained her health and spirits, and the sore wa entirely healed. She had beou iu such a terrible con dition for vears. and was so near death's loor at the time she com menced the S S. S., thai I refrained from making the facts kuown to the public. Though knowing or being satisfied that she was cured, I feared the dUea3e might return; but as it has now been three mouths since she stopped using tho medicine, and is iu perfect health, being able to walk several miles without unusual fatigue, and attends to household duties as she did before she was so afflicted, I publicly make this state ment for the benefit of all who are afflicted as was my wife.
