F. M. JOHNSON , C. H. GERE , Chairman. Secretarr. THE Chairman of Ibe .Republican State Central Committee is still in want of information as to tbe dis posal of the $1,000 which Postmaster Yost received from Pat O'Hawes for the Republican campaign fund In 1872. VICE PRESIDENT HEKKYViir SON has bera interviewed on the third term question , and he ex presses the opinion that President Grant has no idea of running for a third term. Of course there were office-holders and other interested persons who would favor the pro ject , but he believed the President will turn a deaf car to all their ar guments and positively decline to allow his name to be put up before the Convention. Mr. "Wilson said it is true President Grant is peculiar in some things and not accustomed to communicate his thoughts very freely upon what ho intends doing , but tlie Vice President has been in formed on the very best authority , outside of putting the direct ques tion to Him , that he intends to have nothing whatever to do with trying to obtain another term of ofllce , and that he rather looks forward to the time -when he will retire from his present onerous position. As to the result of an attempt to secure the rcuomhiation Mr. Wilson expressed himself without hesita tion or equivocation. In the first place he considered such reuomina- tion exceedingly unlikely , as the great mass of the best men iu the Republican party are utterly oppo sed to any man holding the office President more than two terms. ' Even if nominated his election would be out of the question. The people would , irrespective of party , rise up and vote against him. He would cf course have the support of a large section of the Republican party , but that would not be suffi ciently strong to elect him. The people will protest iu this way against the perpetuation of an oflice to one man ; for should any President be elected a third time there would be nothing to prevent his seeking a fourth and even a fifth , which the Vice-President con sidered to be contrary to provisions of the Constitution , although not expressly set forth in so many words. Mr. "Wilson made no secret of his own purpose in the event of a thiru term nomination. He should vote against Gen. Grant in that case , for , with the people generally , he held it to be both un wise and impolitic to allow any man to fill tne President for more than two terms , and ho considers that this feeline forms a tacit clause in the constitution. He thought there would be no difficulty in choos ing a good candidate for the Repub lican parry , i SOME cf our western Nebraska contemporaries are still agitating the proposition in favor of an extra session of the Legislature after the October election , for the purpose of calling the Constitutional Conven tion. THE Sarpy Sentinel has changed hands. Messrs. Pomeroy & Kenne dy retire from the proprietorship , and Mr. J. C. Newberry assumes charge. The Sentinel has made an enviable reputation as as a spicy and reliable journal , and if the new publisher continues on the track of his predecessors , ho cannot fail to receive liberal encouragement and patronage. THE Republicans of Missouri are having a hot time of it just now. A number of influential Republican papers favor the possum policy and people's movement , w ith a view of dividing the Democracy , while oth ers , with the St. Louis Globe at their head , favor straight Republi can nominations and a square fight. It appears to us that playing pos sum is a dangerous demoralizing game. It is a confession of weak ness which cannot but react dis astrously to the cause of Republic anism. THE Xew York World commentIng - Ing on Colonel Dudley's plan for reclaiming the alkali lands of west ern Nebraska , says : There are many large and beauti ful tntots of land in the far west which have hitherto been worth- lesslo all purposes of agriculture on account of lying outiide of what meterologista call tlie rain-belt. These lauds are now beginning to be made useful , however , by means pf irrigation , aud some of them promise tp become as flourishing as the banks of iho Kilo. Afl an in stance : Colonel Dudley , of the Third Cavalry , U. S. A. , has been try ing what he could do in the Lodge Pole Creek Valley dur ing his detail at Sidney Uarranks , which is more than 4UO miles west of the Missouri River. He has writ ten a long communication to the President of the State Horticultural Society of Nebraska , In which he sets forth the results of his experi ments. After stating that hundreds of poor and comparatively ignorant emigrants havp been deluded by agents and induced to spttjc on these lands , neither the emigrants nor the agents themselves knowing how the soil could be worked , he gives A glowing account of Avhat ho has , by the aid of Jjttlcscience and diligent care , been able to fipcom- pllsh. The soil of this valley , jt ap pears , is very rloh , and the applica tion of horse manure to 'tfortlljzo" jt proved a positive Injury. The excess of alkali , the Colonel says , is no detriment so long as the land Is properly irrigated. Colonel Dudley worked several acres , and with the greatest success , In the first place the land has to bo thorougly plowed and harrowed. It is then laid out in long , narrow beds , with small ditches between for couductinc the water. The water is not permitted to over run the top of the beds , but is allowed to run into and fill the ditches a few times during the season , remaining long enough ooze through the soil as to moist en the roots of tlie vegetables. Some kinds of vegetables were found to require less water than oth ers , aud to regulate this all that was needed was a small piece of board at the end of a ditch or furrow to keep the water from coming in con tact with certain beds. In short , Colonel Dudley invites the entire Horticultural Society of Nebraska to go and see for themselves. The garrison at Sidney Barracks consists of about 150 men , and they have more corn , onions , beets , squashes , peas and beans than they want , and bushels of cucumbers arc going to waste. Kearney Junction and the Ee- publican Valley Railroad. KEARXEV , August 21. EDITOR BEE : After a long , and we think profit able , discussion of the pros and cons of a railway from this town to the Republican Valley , by our people for some weeks past , the thing took form and shape last w * > ek in the adoption of articles of incorporation , in which the very long and taking name of the "Omaha , Kearney and Republican Valley Railroad Com- panj * , " appears , and by which it is known evermore. One facetious chap remarked that it would be known as the 0.1C. road , which might indicate its future popular management , and insure its speedy construction. The incorporates are among our solid men , who always mean busi ness when they put tlieir name to any document. The capitalstock is put at $50,001) ) with power to increase to Si',000,000 shares placed at § 100 each. Tlie mad is to commence at this town and run in a southeasterly direction , and strike tlie Valley of the Republican in Harlan county , and run up the valley through Fur nas and Red Willow counties to Culliert'-on in Hitchcock county. Tims will nearly all of this fertile valley be i cached by this road , and all its trade , its wheat , corn , oats , rye , barley , poultry , butter , eggs , bcof , and other articles seek Omaha for a market. A healthy competition will arite bot.veen the U. P. rail road and B. , M. railroad for the hon or of transporting these to your city , and thus the farmer reap the bene fit of it , and realize all in fact , and in advance , what he is trying to ac complish in his granges. The Hepublican Valley is practi cally isolated from other parts of theState her only communication being by trams over a long and dreary prairie of fifty or tixty miles. The movement is gotten up to rem edy thid. We think that Omaha ought to bo sufficiently interested in this road to give it both its moral anctyubstantial support JPcrhaps you and her good people may think dif ferently. If they do , we venture the opinion that they are in the wrong. We know full well , that in these times of destructive raids of grasshopper hopper- , some people will apply very significant terms to us , not flattering to the soundness of our intellects , if we even talk railroads. Still wo know what we are about , and have not taken hold of this matter , without understanding it in all its bearings. At least we can make a good beginning. The "West ern part of the State is not ravished by the pests , to the extent first re ported , though it is bad enough. Large sections hero have thus far escaped the blight of these raiders , and we shall have at least 30 per cent of the corn planted saved. Potatoes are not all cut off. A good crop of wheat was saved , and though seriously injured , we can go through the winter , and be ready with stout hands , and strong hands , to plant aud sow in the spring , with an abiding faith , we shall reap in the fall.

A Kansas school superintendent says emphatically that there is a great deal of rubbish iu text-books. There is n call for a school of de sign on the Pacific coast. There is an art school , but it is devoted chief ly to drawing and painting. The three Boards of Trustees ol public schools and the Board of Trustees of schools for colored chil dren in the District of Columbia have been' consolidated into one board. It is reported that the plan ol loaning funds to poor students at California University , which we mentioned last week , Is designed to do away with the system of manual labor hitherto practiced at the Uni versity. The Champion , of Atchison , Kan sas , thinks that school teachers are well paid because their wnges aver age $2.50 a day. Considering that teaching is one of the highest and most exacting professions , the pay of a hod-carrier doesn't seem as princely as it mjght , outside of Kan sas at least. The authorities of the University of Georgia have wade several changes in college management Hereafter no student will bo admit , ted to the University except under a pledge that he will not join any secret society , and all society medals Ijavc been abolished , on the ground that they have become nicrejy the rewards of personal popularity. The School of Natural History at P nikese will close August 29. The first half of the term has been very successful , it fs said. Some of the students have become able to make original investigations , and a con tinually growing interest in pursuit of scientific knowledge has been shown. The students are mostly professors and teachers , and have numbered 43 22 gentlemen and 21 ladies. Thp forthcoming report of the Bureau of Education will reoom- raend domestic arts as proper sub jects for instruction in schools. The Pittsburgh Commercial lays special stress upon teaching cookery , de claring that it is only a decided minority of American housewives who know how to make either good bread or good coffee , a deficiency which may fairly be supposed to imply equal absence of skill in the separation of many if not most other articles of diet , " At the commencement of the Maine Slate College of Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts , one young lady was graduated with the glass , receiving with the rest the degree of B. S. Governor Dingley made a speech , and referring to her ex pressed his hearty approval of the system which gaVe the girls an equal chance with the boys to gain a practical as well as liberal educa tion , saying that from the specimen heard that day ho was confident that the latter would have to look to their laurels or they would be ex celled on their own ground. Here is an Instance of school discipline in San Francisco , show ing one of the most ridiculous re sults of the modern system. The Post notes that in one of the primary schools the other day a whole cla s of young children was kept in for half an hour because some of the little things , in their" eagerness to answer questions , had abandoned the required position of keeping their hands behind them. The "discipline" was made more stupid and druel by the fact that the little children were kept in fixed positions without occupation for either body or mind. - report on German schools by Prof. Youngjiu the National Teach er declares that ' routine , 'Jthe com mon school work of the Germans , aiuiingat one unvarying result by an unvarying scries of unvarying processes , has a great effect in keep ing the masses on a comparatively low level and perpetuating the stri king distinction between them and the cultivated classes. The draw ing , geometry , natural history in German schools generally go for more than they are worth with many Americans in their compari sons of the systems in the two conn- trie ? . While the. = c studies are not to be disparaged in themselvesthey are so elementary that neither the information nor discipline gained is particularly noteortLy. . " The School ot Design connected witli the Mechanics' Institute in Cincinnati has given instruction to 3,243 pupils since 1S63 in these de partments , viz. : 1. Mechanical For machinists , metal-workers , pat tern-makers , founders , blacksmiths , amateurs , &c. ; 2. Architectural For carpenters , ma ons , woodworkers ers , builders , amateurs , &c. ; 3. Art- istics For general designing , free- handdrawlng , perspective , crayon , &c. , for painters , plasterers , design ers , carvers , cabinet-makers , ama teurs , &c. The rates of tuition are S3 a term , paid in advance. In the school connected with the Univers ity tuition is free. The number of pupils ranges from 300 to about 400 annually , There was at the last acounts about 120 pupils in the woodcarving - carving department of the school. At the meeting ot the German- American teachers at Detroit last week , one of them said'that the way to maintain the German lan guage in the American schools is simply by not overwhelming the American schools with too much Gernvm at once. A gradual intro duction , will result in its accom plishments. Another teacher de clares himself totally opposed to sectarism in schoolsand argued that the Americans are subordinate to the religious views of the majority , and in that respect their own ene mies. Free-hand drawing , the model to be either the blackboard era a large wall chart , was advocated. A committee was selected specially to attend to the question of the erection of a natural seminary for the education of German-American instructors , RELIGIOUS. It is affirmed that the handsomes : Uuiversalist Church edifice in America ica- has recently been built in Lynn , Mass. Archbishop MoClosky is likely to be our nest Cardinal should His Holiness decide to confer the red hal on an American. The salarj' of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopol Church , South , has been fixed at $3,000 each and travelling expenses. Preparations for the assembling of the National Unitarian Confer ence at Saratoga , September loth , have been completed. The twenty-second General Con ference of the Free AVill Baptists of North America will be held at Providence , beginning at thelloger Williams church. October 7. The prevailing church in Iceland is the Lutheran. They have 321 churches and 189 ministers , whoare so poorly paid that they are forced to do secular work to get a living. The Swcedish Lutherans haVe bought eighteen acres of land at Rock Island , Illinois , as a site for a theological seminary. They have raised 540,000 as an endowment fund Two sets of translators , one com pany headed by Rev. S. II Brown and the other by Dr. Nathan Brown , are engaged in translating the Scriptures into the Japanese lan guage. The Presbyterian Church , which numbers half a million members in the United States , raised about $10- 000,000 for benevolent purposes dur ing their last church year. The bishop of Lincoln has issued an address calling upon the Metho dists of England to return to. the nether ] church , and to help In the work which the Wesleys began within her communion. Seventeen Methodist preachers belonging to one family two great grandchildren , ten grandchildren and five children of the late Luthpr Peck , of Syracuse arc to have a gathering at the residence of Mrs. Bishop Peck , in that city , on Octo ber 23 , The Free ( Episcopal ) Church of England recently held their annual convocation in London , and ad. journed till the fajl , when they will have an opportunity of welcoming Bishop Cummins from this country. This Church has been In existence twelve years.and has already organ ized seyen dioceses , with forty-three houses of worship. The gathering of the various Methodist bodies at the Round Lake camp meeting is likely to have more important results than was antici pated. It has been said that it has done more to bring the northern and southern Methodists on good terms than all the eflbrts that have been ' made for the past thirty-five y'eanj , The largest German Lutheran body in America is the General Ger man Synod of Missouri , Ohio and other States. It comprises five dis tricts , with 470 pastors and COO churches. Next is the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Wisconsin and other Stateswjtb CO Pfistors and 130 churohesj then the L'itheran Ohio Synod , with 120 pastors 223 church es ; then the two Lutheran Synods of Minnesota and Illinois , with 90 pastors and 100 churches.

Look at your chapels , half fullj your congregations , half asleep ; your preacher , often reading from his boolc , and not preaching at all , or , when preaching , preaching as though he were not awake much lower down than his neck ; his heart is still asleep , and only his mouth is talking. " HATRIMONIALITIES. Miss Adams , of Boston , niece of Charles Francis Adams , is about to wed at the American legation at Paris a prominent oflicer iu the Bri tish navy. Th Leavenworth ( Kan. ) Com mercial notes the arrival in that city of a newly married couple that came m irom Holton , the bride groom being fifty-five years old and the bride twenty. The bridegroom was on his sixth matrimonial ven ture , and is thp futherjof thirty , three children , of whom twenty- three are living. Hamburg , Conn. , has recently hiul a curious love affair. Two brothers courted the same girl , and she engaged herself to the younger , but as- the time set for the marriage drew near tlie youth had difficulty in ob amiug a certificate. Mean- whiie the girl transferred hcrallcc- tionto the older one , and , he hav ing nnncd.liiinself with a marriage certificate , they were married on the very day set for the marriage with the younger brother. The last report about Millie Chris , tina , the two-headed nightingale , iu 1'arisj is that she is on the point of m-iniage , the happy man being a very richEnglishman. The mar riage , it is said , is to take place at Avignon. Will not the bridegroom render himself liable to prosecution for bigamy ? the courts having de cided that Millie and Christina are two separate and distinct individ uals , in the recent suit brought by the Orleans Railway Company to recover the price of an extra ticket , the agent of the two-headed night ingale having insisted upon paying for only one. A timely warning to attractive young ladies is oflered by a story that comes to us from North Carolina lina , says the Arcadian. A Mr. James Goforth had been courting a Miss Susan Poindexter , and , as she flatly rejected his olTer , he grew fiantic , and run up and eauaht her ear in his teeth. Her shrieks soon brought all the family to her assis tance , but the girl's father had to insert the pot-hooks between Go- ' forth's teeth and make the old wom an hit him on the head with a door- mi before he could be forced to oose his hold. Goforth's disposi tion to go for the young lady's ear was , doubtless , of a similar nature ; o that which leads so many lovers ; o declare before marriage that they ore so fond of tlieir fiances that hey could eat them. Matrimony , lowever , seems generally to change this-appetite , though we once knew a man who declared that before marriage he was so fond of his wile hat he thought he could have eaten icr , but the ceremony had not been ) erformed a month before ho wished o heaven tUathe bad , IMPIETIES. \Vhat shall we do when this cru el scandal is over ? An application has just been made for a patent for a machine to regulate the magnetism of clergy men. men.A A profane man was admonished with the text , "Swear not at all. " He said : "I do not. I only swear at those who oflend me. " The Dubuque Times says : Dav enport clergymen are striking for higher wages since theBeecher bus- ieess ruined pastoral calls. Free lunches ami clerical tit-bits are no more to be had. Out in Clay county they duck the ministers in a goose pond , aml.ruake him piuiuise to preach from the text -'Thou shalt , not commit ad ultery , " for the simple crime of nest-hiding with a widowof his llock. But then , probably , he does not get $75,000 a yeir. A New York boy asked for a ticket to the poor children's excur sion of the Christian Association. He was asked if he was a Christ ian , ana promptly said he was. "Are you an honest boy ? " tfYc3 , sir. " The phrenologist of the force lifted the boy's hat to examine his bump of conscientiousness , when out fell a ticket for the excursion. "Would my little Ezra , " a ked a fond mother , "like to be a rnr-sion- ary , and go preach to the sutfering heathen ? " Tears bright pe.arly drops of feejjng glistened in L'ittle Ezra's eyes as he murmured : "No , I wouldn't ; but I'd like to be on the perlice long enough to put a tin roof on the big lummux that stuck shoemakers' wj\x. on ray seat to-day at school- ' ' BANKING.
