Mr. Saml Walling presented to a
friend in this city Saturday evening a

two feet in-length and of i. very de
licious flavor.- The melon was grown on
Mr. Plumb's farm east of this city.
The other day when in Platte Center
A. G. Quinn called us across the street
and loaded us down with money on sub
scription. Quinn is a man of short
stature, but when he is engaged, as he
was the other day, he looks tall and
large.
At least a dozen pupils from the
country are in attendance at the High
School. Quite a number of country
teachers are taking advantage of an ir
regular high school course, embracing
the legal branches required for cer
tificate. People are discussing the erection of
another large school-building. This is
a very good evidence that the city is in
creasing rapidly in population, as when
tlie last building was provided for it was
thought it would be sufficient for ten
years to come.
The association of Baptist churches
convenes at the Baptist church, this
city, Thursday, Sept 27th at 7:30 p. m.,
and continues-over Sabbath. It will
pay to hear the discussions of the live
topics which constitute the program.
All are cordially invited.
Last year's High School graduates
will be admitted to the freshman class
at the State University, and allowed the
privilege of making up Latin. Here
after thay will be admitted direct, with
out further -examination, as that study
is now included in the regular course.
No frost, to speak of, has occurred
this fall as yet, and tender vines are still
green. We have known falls in which
the frost staid away until the middle of
October, but as a rule this is not the
case. This, fall is remarkable in this re
spect, and all crops are coming to the
front in fine shape.
Mrs. Geer's department of the Third
ward school goes to theClother building
on Nebraska Avenue instead of the
Bollin's building on Olive street as men
tioned last week; Mrs. Brindley's flock
moves into Mrs. Backus's room, while
hers go to Mrs. Geer's former room; Miss
Weaver's class occupies the primary
room.
.The director of one district in the
county failed to make his annual report
as required by iaw, and the district
thereby loses its share of the state ap
portionment. . The directors cannot be
too careful about this matter. Should
the question be -raised, the director so
neglecting, could be made personally
responsible.
When he went on C H. Sheldon's
place about eighteen months ago, Mr.
& S. 'Arthur tells us that they started
in with $120 worth of hogs; since then
they have sold $900 worth and have-on
hands now 18 hogs worth $180. and 50
oiss worth $250; in other, words, on an
original investment of $120, they have
sold $900, and have left 430. Thursday
he sold 8 averaging 12 months old, for

It is noticeable this year that many
forms of vegetation are later than
usual in their development. This is true
of the tomato and musk-melon. With a
vigorous growth of 'vines, they have
failed to fruit until late in the season.
The same -is true of the rag weed, and
several other noxious growths. The
seeds will be very immature this year,
and a free use of the scythe and fire will
repress the nuisances for several years.
?There is a scarcity -of ripe steers,
while of the lower grades 'the supply is
superabundant. For the former the
market is buoyant, and for the -latter.
weak and variable. Steers of the first
quality are eagerly taken, while receivers
of the common grades find difficulty in
disposing of them at the lowest quota
tjonjL" This is the stereotyped tenor of
the market reports. It would seem it
should have had the effect to keep back
many car load of letfn cattle that have
been urged forward to the sacrifice this
season. The shipment of unripe cattle
is worse than folly. U. W. Live Stock

The JomnfAX-hashad no hesitation in
saying that a canning factory of goodly
proportions is the- best venture our
moneyed men interested in the welfare
of. 'the city, can make. It will, in our
opinion, do more than any other one
"thing to help along our retail trade,
settle up and cultivate the vacant' forty
acre tracts around the city, increase the
value .of the land, bring money from
abroad by the sale of the manufactured
product, etc
Other Nebraska townsseveral of them
not so large as Columbus, have canning
establishments, and all, so far as we
know, are having a good influence on the
-business of the several localities.
' Beatrice, for instance, has already put
up 700,000 cans of corn and 200,000 cans'
of tomatoes.
One week, according to the Blair Re
publican, the factory there, is thus -represented:
"It is a busy place at the canning fac
tory now. In 4K da? of last week 282
tons of corn was packed in 114,000 cans,
and the pay roll for the week was $2300.
This week will show a still larger vol
ume of business. There are from 200 to
225 hands at work now. The corn is
splendid"
Another week:
"Thecanning factory made the biggest
run of the season last Saturday, packing
40,000 cans of corn. This required 100
tons of corn in the husk. The hands
put in a good deal of night work now."
The McMurray factory at Frederick,
Maryland, is reputed the largest in. the
world, and here is a specimen of one day
there, as taken from the News:
The largest day's work ever done at
the McMurray canning establishment
was that of yesterday. The number of
cans of corn packed were 218.000, of lima
beans 7,000, making the total number of
cans packed 225,000.
The pay roll for this week's work at
this vast establishment on tomorrow
night will amount to $7,500.
Forty-seven wagons were standing on
All Saints and Market streets, waiting to
be unloaded, this morning, for the Mc
Murray factory."
As to .what such an institution will do
for the man who works the land, take
this sample:
"The Examiner states that Mr. Thomas
Molesworth, tenant on the Loats farm,
near Frederick, cut and delivered to
McMurrav's factory, from an eleven-acre
field, forty-four tons of sugar corn, for

'There isn't anything like' it, and if
Columbus business men, property own
ers and owners of large tracts of land
near the city don't start a good-sized,
magnificent institution here, to begin
operations next season, they are missing
one of the best business strokes of their
lives.
The first meeting of the 'Lyceum,
Saturday evening, was well attended,
and the institution is appreciated, as it
always has been. We give elsewhere the
program for next Friday evening, and
are moved to say that it is one of the
very best institutions the city can sup
port! The expense (and no matter how
economical it may be managed there
must be expense) is not much, but it is
too' much to be borne by only a very
few.' Those who give of their time
should not be expected to furnish 'all the
money, but the comparatively small
burden should be distributed over a
wide area. We have . always' thought
well of tho free, open meetings, with a
cordial invitation to everyone to attend
and proffer services, but some bettor
way than heretofore should be provided
to pay for the room. If parents will in
terest themselves by attending the
meetings, they will soon settle the ques
tion of expense. At the meeting last
week the following officers were elected:
C. J. Garlow, president; G. A. Brindley,
vice president; M. P. Hurd, treasurer;
Fannie Geer, secretary; executive com
mittee, D. G. Christy, W. A. McAllister,
Carl Kramer. The evening of meeting
settled upon is Friday."
There is quite a joke on A. M. Par
sons, formerly of this city, now at Schuy
ler, a dealer in groceries, produce, eta,
and, withal, a very strong advocate of
free trade. Some days ago a stranger,
presumably from some south Nebraska
county, came into Schuyler with a wag
on load of apples and was peddling
them on the streets, even in front of the
doors of the home dealers. Mr. Parsons
thought that work of that. kind should
be stopped by the home authorities.
Here were home dealers, who, through
thick and thin, stood by the town, help
ed other businesses along, paid taxes,
made contributions for all sorts of pub
lic matters and yet were not protected
in their business from competition by
men who pay no taxes for Schuyler,
didn't even buy goods there, but took
the money they got for the apples to
some other town. Some of Parson's re
publican neighbors suggested to him
that, on a small scale, he was witness
ing some of the fruits of free trade and
had given some of the very best, reasons
for protecting American industries
against the encroachments of foreign,
cheap labor.
The county superintendent has for
warded his annual report of the schools
under his supervision to the state super
intendent. The report required is quite
elaborate and includes many statistics
of interest. During the year last past
there have been employed 35 male and
61 female' teachers. . The year is gener
ally divided into three terms, and in
many districts different teachers are em
ployed for each term. The male teach
ers of the county received $11,239.82, the
female $1530.78, being a total of $26,
470.60. The total value of the school
houses, as returned by the different di
rectors, is $5400; of the school grounds
$5,020; of apparatus $319, giving, a
total value of all school property of
$62,539. The item of buildings and re
pairs amounts to $1161250. .The entire
cost of the schools, including teachers'
wages and expenditures of all kinds, is
$100,62150. "

From the west lake which was supposed
to be stocked only with bass, pickerel,
eta, a German carp was caught that was
two 'feet long and about four inches
across. The east pond is stocked with
carp only, and they showed a very
thrifty growth. At the rate of increase
shown, these fish ponsk are soon going
to prove a very valuable investment.

As Iatereattag: Letter ftwi J.H.Kee.
. On Steamship "City of Berlin" on mid
Atlantic four days out from N.Y.onway
to Liverpool, Aug. 30, 1868. In making
up my package of letters to be mailed at
Queenetown, I will include one for tho
Joubkau Possibly mid-ocean may seem
a baro place to gather items for a news
letter, but to me, never having been on
salt water before, everything is very full
of interest. I remember how disappoint
ed I was when, years ago, I first saw
Niagara Falls. I could not understand
why it was considered so wonderful.
Arriving- in the afternoon I would have
been willing to have gone on the same
evening, feeling that I had seen all there'
was of it But we had arranged to re
main the next day, so after listening to
its thunderings during the night I took
another look in the morning' and began
to think there was something to see
after alL It grew upon ine all day and
the third day I began to have some real
conception of its magnificence. At first
sight it hardly seemed worth going
across a state to see, after two days I
understood why. people came to see it
from everj civilized nation. So it has
taken four days to have some conception
of what the.grand old ocean is and what
it.is to be on her in 'a modern steamship.
I knew what great writers had said
about the ocean and what friends who
had crossed it could toll me, but neither
gave me any comprehensive notion of
what the 'ocean is as it seems to me now.
To' really know it one needs to be on it,
on it for days, and besides eyes he must
have a soul that has some grasp for the
great - things God has made. It is a
wonderful thing that no 'pen can de
scribe. I pity .the people that can only
see in it so much water extending from
New York to Liverpool and that they
are obliged to be on it eight or ten days
in crossing. And unless this company
of passengers is an exception, a good
many have little notion beyond this. As
yet I have seen it only in its calmer
moods. They toll me I would soon have
enough but I really hope to see it when
it is profoundly disturbed It must be
grand indeed then. As yet there has
not been much to take our attention ex
cept the old ocean and our own little
vessel. Three other steamers started
with us from New York. At the end of
the first day but one was yet in sight
and the next morning she was not to be
seen. We have sighted two steamers
bound for New York and yesterday a'
great ocean sailing '.vessel passed near
enough to show what a magnificent ob
ject a full winged ship at sea is. As she
passed our officers had a short conversa
tion with her through signal flags, learn
ing who she was, where' from and where
bound, and I suppose she learned the
same of us. After being accustomed
each day to knowing what was going on
throughout the world -the day before it
seems 'rather strange to have been four
days-without knowing anything beyond
our own little company and to know that
it will be more than as.much longer be
fore wo see a newspaper. Pm not sure
but the feeling is one of relief. It seems
restful not to be expected to know all that
has been said or done or has happened
from .day to day. Yet I notice the sea
men like to get the news when possible.
The second day out a pilot boat came
across our track; when near she letdown
a boat with two sailors which remained
as 'near our course as possible and when
opposite us a package of the .morning
papers of the -day before were tossed
overboard, enclosed in a waterproof and
bound to 'a board. The little boat
danced about like a chip on the waves
but the men secured the package before
out of sight. Of course we all watched
the 'operation with much interest. These
pilot boats start out from New York
with about twenty pilots on board, and
on account of competition go well ont to
sea, sometimes 500 miles, in order to be
the first to sight incoming vessels, and
it is sometimes two weeks before a boat
meets with enough vessels needing pilots
to' take all its men. Hence the eager
ness to get the news from outgoing ves
sels. The pilot gets from $100 to $200
for taking in a ship, but it must be
rather a hard life.
(I take it for granted that there are
readers of the. Journal as green to the
sea as I was and I am writing these
notes for them, not for seagoing, people
that know much more than I have
learned yet. And I will say just here
that any statistics or facts I may give
are based upon best authority and may
be' relied upon.)
There are now about 70,000 passengers
per month carried by steamers plying
between Europe and America, and this
ocean steam navigation has all grown
within the lifetime of middle aged men.
A boat was propelled across some eigh
teen years before, but the first regular
steam navigation was commenced in
1838. For many years the hazards were
great and the conveniences and comforts
very few; but in recent years the danger
is greatly reduced and the accommoda
tions for first cabin passengers are about
equal to those, found in a well appointed
first-class hotel in one of our larger
cities. Of the much dreaded sea sick
ness I have to learn yet. The wind to
day is about twelve miles an hour and.
the waves are splendid Yet in my room
I read, write, sleep as 'comfortably as if
at home. Of course there is some mo
tion, but .to me it is agreeable, and I
have no more feeling of danger than I
would have sitting in my own house. Of
course there is danger a storm would
put this splendid vessel and'all on board
in jeopardy. So do storms on land
jeopardize our lives and property and I
am not sure that the hazard is much
greater here -than there. I really, be
lieve there are thousands of people who
would cross the Atlantic if they knew
how comfortably and safely and cheaply
they could do it, who are now detained
by fear of danger and discomfort or that
the expense would be too great. .This
vessel, the "City of Berlin," of the well
known Inman line is not so fast as some,
but iit considered one of the safest and
best steamers on the Atlantic and is one
of the largest, or has been. The "City
of New York," of the same line, which
took Mr. Blaine over on. her first trip is
of nearly double the capacity, and some
belonging to the Cunard line have great
er Capacity than this, but the "City of
Berlin" is considered one of the great
ocean steamers. She is 510 ft long, 44
broad, 34 deep, has three masts and is
manned by 150 men in alL She is drawn
by a single screw or propeller. It had
been a constant wonder, to, me 'how .this
I great vessel with its 9,000. tons of freight,
flOOtoas bt coal, besides' all its passen
fan and crew was pushed through tht

water at a speed of 12 to 15 miles an
hour, so yesterday I asked tho chief en
gineer if he would allow me to go below.
Be did and sent a competent man with
me with instructions to explain all the
parts and it was the most interesting
hour I have spent. The combined pow
er of tho engines is 5,500 horse power.
The usual horse power applied, is 850.
This turns-an iron shaft about 2 ft. in
diameter oxtendinj- from tho engines to
the rear of ..lie vessel some 150 ft. I
should think. The manner of fastening
this shaft to its place is very interesting.
To tho end of the shaft extending ont
into tho water are attached four plates
or wings shaped to a peculiar canoe.
These are 10 ft. long, making the diame
ter of the sorew or propeller about 22 ft.
It is a very simple affair but tremendous
in power. It works on tho principle of
the screw. If a large screw is imbedded
in firm wood; when the screw driver is
turned to withdraw it the man turning
it is pushed back. In the same manner
the resistance of the water on the pro
peller or screw drives the power that
turns the screw forward and the ship
goes with it. From the engine room I
went into the boiler room; twenty-eight
stout men, fourteen working at a time
changing every four hours, feed the fires.
It takes 60 tons of coal every 24 hours
and it is a fearful place to work in. One
of the men, a broad brogued Irishman,
following me out of the room tapped me
on the shoulder and said, "please leave
your blessing before you go, it is a hot
place down here." I did not take the
hint and he followed up, saying, "please
give us a few shillings to get a drink
with, it is hot down here." I pitied them
but could not see how a drink of whisky
was going to make it cooler. The ca
pacity of the coal storage is 1,100 tons
and this amount is put on before' leaving
Liverpool as they claim the Welsh coal
is best, although they are obliged to
supplement with some American coal at
New York.
The voyage thus far has interested me
exceedingly, but I have made my letter
already too long.
I hope to see something of Ireland,
Scotland and England, and may send
another letter. J. H. Reed.
