The republicans of the Third Dis trict have nominated by acclamation . Hon. Geo. W. E. Doroey as their can didate (or congressman. The fact' that there was no cou'test for the honor is the bent evidence of the satisfactory manner in which Mr. Dnrsey has served his constituents he pum two years. He has proved himself to be an honest, straightfor ward, nnd hard working member, who ha not sacrificed the transact iou of necessary business to a useless display of stump oratory. Mr. Dor sey's speaches have not taken up many pages of the Record, or much of the time of the house, but bis faithful, earliest and conscientious work is seen in the passage of a number of measures in which his state and Iris district was iaterestedr His record as a voting, aaenber is clean and straight, in accord with the sentiraeuts of his constituency nnd in a line with the most intelli xeut views of the beat informed members. The Third district re publicans have acted wisely in re fusing to listen to any other name than Mr. loraey's to the office to which they will certainly elect him by a rousing, old time republican majo rity. lite. Osk of the latest railroad rumors is that the Union Pacific is preparing to surrender the main line to the ovemmeiit under a foreclosure ot tbo first mortgage, should such a step be necessary. The scheme (iroposed is to run another track from Valley station, which would give them their own line to Denver, via Lincoln, thence to the Kansas Pacific (which they also own). Then by building a branch to the Oregon Short Hue (at Granger) they would have a through line to the Pacific, and would then let the government lake tho main line, which is so heavily mortgaged that they caunot pay the debt. We are not so sure but this would be tho best thing tor the government and for tbe people, in haviug a line across the continent under government direction, which would serve as a check upon the other lines to prevent them from pooling and high rated of tariff, and to which the lateral lines would serve as tecders, having an assurauce ot equable and equitable transporta tion rates. With such a Hue extend ed to the Atlantic, if necessary, un der government control, tho "brakes"' would bo put ou against pools and extortion and discriminations, aud in a two-fold capacity it might bo made a source of revenue and to lighten the burdens of the people, buch a scheme may not be carried into effect now, but it is within the line of reasonable possibility that it may be an event of tho future. Iremont Herald. Va Wyclc te Go Back. Keturns indicate that enough of Van Wyck's friends have been nomi nated in reasonably sure legislative districts to insure his re-election to United States Senate from Nebraska. It would be a "mm start" in politics if by popular vote on the senatorial question he should find bis legisla tive support countermanded, and thus be "hoist with his own petard ;" but such is not likely to be the case. Van Wyck is really tho strongest man in Nebraska for the senator ship, popularity, intellectually and in principle; aud he is one of the strong est man in the senate chamber. We have all along regarded his re-electiou as a foregone concl usion. He has really been helped by the enemies he has made and their foolish method of fighting him. We knew Van Wyck back in York State, and that commonwealth lost a consignment of good stock when he joined the innumerable caravan of Westward Ho men. Cedar Jiapids Hep ii Mican.

North and other ramrods of the democratic organization of this Htate is respectfully called to the course of their party in Nemaha and other couuties in endorsing at their conventions the prohibition candi dates tor the legislature. The Journal must needs weep at the yawning chasm thus disclosed botween the democratic promise in its platform aud performances in its couveutioas. Denouncing the republican party for declariug that the electors have the right to say whether they waut prohibition at the polls, and conspir ing to elect to the legislature abso lute and unqualified advocates of probibiUou JO'fe is an acrobatic feat that may be aublifcie bat it is danger ous.

The Iattial Symptoms ma Progress f uihh-iu jnaa uogr Desire to Bite. It is a great and dangerous error to suppose that the disease (in tbe dog) commences with signs of raging mad ness and that the earliest phase of the malady is ushered in with fury and de struction. The first perceptible or ini tial symptoms of rabies in the dog are related to its habits. A change is ob served in the animal's aspect, behavior, and external characteristics. The habits of the creature are anomalous nnd strange. It becomes dull, gloomy, and taciturn; seeks to isolate itself, and chooses solitude and obscurity hiding in out-of-the-way places, or retiring be low chairs and other pieces of furniture; whereas in health it may have been lively, good-uatiuml, aud sociable. But in its retirement it cau not rest; it is un easy and fidgety, and betrays an un mistakable state of malaise. No sooner has it lain down and gathered itself to gether in the usual fashion of a dog re posing than all at once it jumps up in an agitated manner, walks hither and thither several times, again lies dowu, and assumes a sleeping "attitude, but has only maintained it for a few minutes when it is ouce more moving about, "seeking rest but finding none." Then it retires to its obscure corner to the deepest recess it can find and huddles itself up in a heap, with its head con cealed beneath its chest and its fore paws. This state of continual agitation and inquietude is in striking contrast with its ordinary habits, ami should, therefore, attract the attention of mind ful people. Not tin frequently there are a few moments when the cx-attirc ap pears more lively than usual, aud dis plays an extraordinary amount of af fection. Sometimes in pet dogs there is evinced a disposition to gather up small objects, such as straws, threads, bits of wood, etc., which are industrious ly picked up and carried away. A ten dency to lick anything cold, as iron, stones, etc., is also observed in many instances. At this period no propensity to bite is observed; the animal is docile with its master, and obeys his voice, though not so readily as before, not with the same pleased countenance. If it shakes its tail the act is more slowly performed than usual, ami there is some thing strange in the expression of the face; the voice of its master can scarce ly change it for a few seconds from a sullen gloominess to its ordinary ani mated aspect; and when no longer in fluenced by the familiar talk or presence it returns to its sad thoughts for, as has been well ami truthfully said byBouley, "the dog thinks and has its own ideas, which for dogs' ideas are, from its point of view, verv good ideas when it is well." The animal's movements, attitudes, and gestures now seem. to indicate that it is hauuted by and sees phantoms; it snaps at nothing and barks as if at tacked bv real enemies. Its appearance is altered; it has a gloomy and some what ferocious :i.-peeL In this condition, however, it is not aggressive o far as mankind is concern ed, but is as docile and obedient to its master as before. It may even appear to Imj more nflectiouatu toward those it knows, and this it manifests by the greater desire to lick their hands and faces. This affection, which is always so marked and so enduring in the dog, dominates it so .strongly in rabies that it will not injure those it loves, not even in a paroxysm of madness, and even when its ferocious instincts are begin ning to be manifested, aud to rain the supremacy over them, it will yet yield obedience" to those to whom it has been accustomed. The mad clog has not a dread of wa ter, but, on the contrary, will greedily swallow it. As long as it can drink it will satisfy .its ever-ardent thirst; even when the spasms in its throat prevent it swallowing, it will nevertheless plunge its face deeply into the water and ap pear to gulp at it. The dog is, there fore, not hydrophobic, and hydrophobia is not a sign of madness in this animal. It docs not generally refuse food in the early period of the disease, but sometimes eats with more voracity than usual. When the desire to bite, which is one of the essential characteristics of rabies at a certain stage, begins to manifest itself, the animal at first attacks inert bodies gnawing wood, leather, its chain, carpets, straw, hair, coals, earth, the excrement of other animals or even its own, and accumulates in the stomach the remains of all the substances it has been tearing with its teeth. An abundance of saliva is not a con stant symptom in rabies in the dog. Sometimes its mouth is humid.and some times it is dry. Before a fit of madness the secretion of saliva is normal; dur ing this period it may be increased, but toward the end of the malady it is usu ally decreased. The animal often expresses a sensa tion of inconvenience or pain during the sDasm in its throat, using its paws on th'e side of its mouth, like a dog which has a bone lodged there. In "dumb madness" the lower jaw is paralyzed and drops, leaving the mouth open and dry. and its lining membrane exhibiting a reddish-brown hue, the tongue is frequently brown or blue-colored, one or both eyes squint, and the creature is ordinarily helpless and not aggressive. In some instances the rabid dog vomits a chocolate or blood-colored fluid. The voice is always changed in tone, and the animal howls in quite a differ ent fashion to what it did in health. The sound is husky and jerking. In "dumb maduess" this very important symptom is absent The seusibility of the rabid dog is greatly blunted "when it is struck, burn ed, or wounded; it emits no cry of pain or sign as when it suffers or is afraid in health. It will even sometimes wound itself severely with its teeth, and with out attempting to hurt any person it knows. The mad dog is always very much en raged at the sight of an animal of its own species. Even when the malady might be considered as yet iu a latent condition, as soon as it sees another dog it shows this fetrangc antipathy and appears desirous of attacking it This is a most important indication. It often flees from home when the fe rocious instincts commence to gain an ascendency, and after one, or two, or three days' waudcriugs, durmg which it has tried to gratify its mad fancies on all the living creatures it has en countered, it often returns to its master to die. At other times it escapes in the night, and, after doing as much damage as its violence prompts it to. it will re turn again towaru morning. The dis tance a mad dog will travel, even in a short period, is sometimes very great The furious period of rabies is char acterized by an expression of ferocity in the animal's physiognomy, and by the desire to bite whenever an opportunity oners. It always prefers to attack an other dog, though other animals are also victims. The paroxysms of fury arc succeeded kby periods of comparative calm, during which the appearance is liable to mis lead the unitiated as to the nature of the malady. The mad dog usual!- attacks other creatures rat her than man when at liberty. When exhausted by the parox ysms and contentions it has experienced it runs in an unsteady manner, its tail pendent and head inclined toward the ground, its eyes wandering aud fre quently .squinting, ami its month open, with the bluish-colored tongue, soiled with dttst, protruding. Iu this condition it has no longer tbe violent aggressive tendencies of the previous stage, though it will yet bite everyone man or ,least that it can reach with its teeth, esecially if irri tated. The mad dog that is not killed per ishes from paralysis ami asphyxia. To tho Jsit luoutent'the terrible desire to bite is predominant, even when the poor creature is so prostrated as to ap pear to be transformed into an inert mass. I'rof.

On the old Indian road in Gloucester county, Virginia, is living a negro who was brought to this country from his home in Africa iu the mouth of July, 1791.

Henry Bcrgh, whose tenderness for the brute creation is widely known, is quoted in the New York Herald as say ing a day or two ago: "I do wish that somebody would build a hotel at which children were not taken. 1 hate chil dren.

While a party of workmen were ex cavating in the rear of the Olean house, at Olean, N. Y., last week, they found an odd-looking, highly-polished, cornucopia-shaped silver ornament imbedded in the earth six or eight feet below the surface, where it had evidently lain for a century or more. It had possibly been worn by some Seueca brave long before Anglo-American civilization had found its way to Olean point.

An interesting test of visual power may be found in the Pleiades, common ly "called "seven stars." Ordinarily only six stars are visible to tho naked eye although the telescope shows a large number of smaller ones in the group. But nearly thirty years before the discovery of the telescope Moestlin mapped eleven stars, and may have ob served fourteen, while Prof. W. F. Den ning, the well-known English astrono mer, claims that he cau usually discern thirteen of the stars with the naked eye, aud ou one occasion was able to see the fourteenth. In an Old Htixllsh Kitchen. Just outside the gate and across tho way from the shop of the potato and pork merchant's there stands, as it has stood for a couple, of centuries, the old Falstafl Inn. We went in under tiie sign through a low doorway, overgrown with ivy. At tiie end of the hall was a level- old kitchen with a tloor of cool tiles ami a gorgeous dinner service of purple, red, blue, and gold displayed iu wide racks against the wall. A "bright lire was burning, the red coal glowing between the bars of the grate, aud a deal of cooking was going on. The kettle was boiling with a fusy effusion like that ol a comfortable, home keep ing, good-hearted, motherly woman, bustling about to get things ready for her good man and the childreu. A leg of lamb was roasting before the lire A string, or thin iron chain, I believe it was. was fastened from the mantle shelf, and from the other end hung the meat, dangling directly iu front of the grate bars. A plate was set under neath to catch the drippings. I had a bit of that lamb with some mint sauce for my dinner, ami I can attest that it was most excellent eating. I wish I had sonic of it at this moment. A trim young woman, wearing the whitest of mob caps, the cleanest of white aprons, stood before the lire broiling a chop. She had a long-handled, double tin broiler or gridiron in her hands. The chop was shut up in this, and she patiently held it before the lire as we would hold up a wet towel to dry, turning it round now aud then; and what with the tea-kettle, the burst ing of the skin of the leg of the lamb, the sizzling of the savory chop, most comforting, if deafening, noises filled the cozy room. The girl turned a rosy face at us ami smiled comfortably. The smile, the goodly old kitchen, the rows of delf on "the wall, the nodding red hollyhocks out in the garden, the recol lecting of that swinging jolly old Fal staff, of the charming windows ami deep window seats warmed me to the heart with enthusiasm. Catherine Cole, ui Neil) Orleans firayuiie. An Able Practitioner. One of the superior court attendants, having brought the luncheon of one of the judges to him at recess one day. wrapped the chicken bones and crumbs in brown paper after his honor had done full justice iu the ease, and threw the bundle into a cuspidor iu the corri dor. Soon after he saw a man. whose face had long iieen familiar around tho eomts. stealthly snatch the parcel and thrust it into his pocket Just then the judge passed by and Officer Kane told him what he had seen. "Why, that is impossible." exclaimed the wearer ot the figurative ermine. "That is B , who a few years ago was one of the ablest practitioners in this court." "I am not mistaken," replied the at tendant "I have seen him do it be fore. Watch him now. He is going down the. stairs and there is a stump of a cigar in his path. See if he doesn't pick it up."

Mr. Calhoun when at loss for a word would give a petulant twist at his large, turned-over hhirt collar and then run his bony lingers through his long, gray, hair until it stood up like the hair on an electric toy. Mr. Ronton would sink his voice and mumble something that no one could understand, and Gen. Cass would "aw!"

The critic should be something more than a fault-finder. In an English magazine an attempt is made to give a series of "Americanisms;" that is to say, words coined or invented iu Ameri ca! Under the word "bonanza" tlie definition is given "Spanish, a big scheme by which, honestly or other wise, much money is made." Upon this a critic pounces, aud says that bonanza means "good fortune or good luck." lionanza is indeed a Spanish word, aud very naturally came into use in CaliforuTa or Nevada. But it does not mean "a big scheme" or ":ood luck." It is a nautical a sea-going word, and means fair weather at sea. If the reader will refer to St. Matthew, xiii. 2G, he will read that after the Iord re buked the wind and the sea "there wus a great calm." And if reference is next had to the Spanish version of the New Testament he will tiud the phrase there given "una grande bonanza." It is easy to understand bo-nrthc tTord came into its figurative use as meaning a happy, calm and good hope after a weary search. But neither the gloss ary nor its critie is quite correct in the definitions cited above. Philadelphia Ledger. "What have you under vour coat, Paddy Jaselin?''" asked Judge Cady. "Nawt a bitt av et, Yezounorl" "Not a bit of what?" Pat said nothing, but gave a wink that would have stuck a cable-car on a down giade. "What's under that coat?" "Sle soard. sorr; shure Oi'll show ycez Oi'm a soard swawl'r! "Let mo'see it, quick!" and the court took the sword, nulled the cork out. smelled it, tasted it, and drained it to the very last, and then smacked his lips. When his hair stop ped pu'ling he looked down at Paddy, who was paralyzed with astonishment, and, with a smile that was worthy of a cherubim, he remarked: "There, Pad dy, is the scabbard; you may go." St. Louts Chronicle. Charming; Girl Sweethearts. Mine. Greville, in a recent letter from New York, says a Paris correspondent, gives me some glimpses into the vicissi tudes of her American tour. "I lectured twice at a girls' college near Philadel phia. The eighty-two young ladies immediately fell in love with me, and never miss "an occasion now for sending me their eighty-two loves. Such nice little dears! 1 gave them my eighty two autographs, and never saw a prettier sight than all these young, bright faces looking at me so kindly while I was writing iu their little birth day Upoks." They were playing comedies at a country-house to kill time. The lady of the house was receiving, with tho usual amount of modest protestations, tiie congratulations of her guests. "In deed." slie said, "you are too compli mentary. I am quite well aware that to tiil tiie part properly one should be both very voting and very beautiful." "Not at all. madam; you have just prov ed the contrary," was the too eager response of the complimentary guest, who, the moment afterward, would havu given ail hN old boots not to have said t- Ft t itch Fan. In Washington Territory there are at present only eighteen counties, and about all of these were taken from Ore gon when it was made a .state. The soil is good enough in the bot of them to produce forty bushcN of wiieat to the acre, fifty to eighty of oat.-, twenty to forty of barley, and pieuty of cereals and vegetables. p:is ure lands, etc. There are line forests 01 timber, cedar and fits ehietly, coal beds, iuui and iron mills, regions" for tiie dairy, prairie and swami) lands, fisheries, canneries (nine in the territory), lime kilns of great value ami production. Cargoes of wheat are cnt to Kurope. 1 One of the plusicians in attendance at Potter-ville, where 214 erons were poisoned by eating ice-cream, has a theory that ar-enicwas put in the freezer by&onie "mi-chiefmaker." This is very forcible language. It reminds one of the ease ot tiie man who came to the place wheie his house had stood, and, finding his home burned and his wife and children witli it. raised his hands, and. in t lie extremity of his grief, ex claimed: "Well. I declare This is ridiculous!" Washington HatelnL "I tell you, Corkey, it was ju-t lively out at the base-ball grounds this after noon. Iook at this gash in my fore head if you don't believe it. The three clubs " "What's that. Joe? There weren't three clubs playing." "Corkey. you can just bet that there was." "Wiry, I never heard of a triangular game; all playing at once, were they?" "Yes." "What three clubs were they?" 'The home club, the visitins: club, and the policeman's club." Philadelphia Call. Agreatsumnierhotel near New Yorki- tenanted by a solitary watchman. Once in a while the watchman goes up to tho desk, asks if there are any letters, snubs himself, follows an imaginary bell-boy up eight flights of stairs, brings himself a very small pitcher of ice-water and gives himself a dollar bill, sits down to a large plate with an oyster cracker on it, and feels he is really away for tho summer. Boston Transcript. "My dear." said a father to his daugh ter as .she appeared upon the porch of a Saratoga hotel 111 her fifth costume for that day. "if you indulge 111 inch ex travagance do you think that the angels will watch and wait for you?" "No." interrupted the old gentleman's wife, "of course they won't, but the men will, and that's what we canie up here for. Don't be -silly. John." Xeto York Hun. Mr. Jones "No dinner to-day? That's a line state of affairs. Where's Mrs. Jones?" Servant - "Writing, sir." Mr. Jones "Writing what, pray?" Servant "I don't know exactly, sir, but I think she said it's a new article for the Housekeeper about 'How It's Better to Keep House than to Board.' sir, or something of that sort."- -Kansas City Times.
