E. HOSEWATEK. Publisher THE St. LoulH Democrat humor ously asks if Moultori Is a heathen , and Mrs. Tilton is a shethen , what is T. T. then ? ACCORDING to telegrams King "William is ahout to visit Italy and Vesuvius is getting red hot and boil ing over already. KANSAS -will have a special ses sion of the Legislature on the 15th , for the purpose of devising means of relief of those whose crops have been destroyed by grasshoppers. TIME "was when the appointment ! \ of Hascall on a committee would have set the Republican cauldron a v broiling. Since that famous postal .speech , however , his sins have been forgiven , and his election ( ? ) by a self-authorized committee to repre sent this county in a district con vention is announced by that sheet with , the utmost equanimity. At a scientific parliament of the most famous scientists of Gicat Britain on August 19th , at Belfast , Professor John Tyndall was elected president. This gentleman , though descend ed from an English family , is an Irishman. From early childhood be has devoted himself exclusively to science , and his many works up on the various branches of scientific philosophy have made him one of the most famous scientists of the age. THE New York Herald discusses at length the improbability of Mar shal Bazainc's escftpe by means of a large 80 foot rope and ring , without any accomplice , and con demn him for using officers as ac complices who violated their duty because they were led to do so by his influence. This kind of criticism is certainly absurd when applied to a man who was condemned to imprisonment for life. .Neman lives , who under sim ilar circumstances , would not have made every possible effort to escape , and certainly he is not to blame for his success. - TiiENew i"ork Herald publishes the following excuse for using what many delicate and sensative Chris tians sometimes consider highly im proper indulgence in profane litera ture : WE would apologize for spelling the noun "hell" in full instead ol givingitdclicately , as "h 11. " But as it is considered proper for Chris tians to say "hell" we do not know why we should not print it "hell. " The new Christian vocabulary at Plymouth might even justify the members in a new conjugation ol the verb "to damn. " Thus : I damn. We dann MouMon. Thou damncst. You damn Moujton. Moulton is damned. Moulton damns us. Altogether these words seem to be getting quite popular in Brooklyn. The third annual lair of Burt county , under the auspices of the County Agricultural Society , will held on the 23d , 24th , and 25th of September at Tckara ah. We have before us the circular issued "by their committee. This indicates that the society , in the past year , has managed to clear up debts for all necessary buildings , and con clude with the following appeal : "Let every farmer hi Burt county contribute something. If you haye a nice horse , colt , calf , sheep , pig , chicken , good wheat , corn , potatoes , anything that will show the produc tions of our county , bring it along and let us make our Third Annual FaLt a greater success than any heretofore. " HOME CHAE1TY. The call for relief to citizcas of Howard county who have been rendered destitute by the sudden destruction of their crop by grasshoppers is one which we liopc will bo promptly met by our citizens. "When the Chicago fire "rendered ' thousands of people destitute and homeless , and the scourge of yel low fever decimated the families by hundreds in Shrevcport , Memphis and other cities , the citizens of Omaha were among the first to forward rclier. Now that hundreds of families in our own State arc in sad need of relief , we hope that our citizens will not hesitate to assist them , and wo sug gest that some active citizens like Mr. Anderson and others of the U. P. shops devise a somewhat similar plan as that inaugurated by them upon the occasion of the Memphis and Shreveporfc relief meeting at | he Academy of Music. COHPIIMEHT. The unanimity with which the State Republican Convention , num bering 269 members , renomhiated Congressman Crounse for a second term , Is an endorsement which can not fail being a sourcs of pride to himself , a gratification to his friends and an honor to the party. It tends to exhibit , in no small degree , the warm appreciation byihe masses of the services of an honest and faith ful official. Although in the past two > ears very important measures were under consideration in Con gress , the Democratic press of this State has failed to find fault with any act of our Representative , and the inference is that they had no occasion to do so. In all the struggles when our State interests came in antago nism to those of others , Represeta- tive Crounse labored hard and faith fully in behalf of his own constitu ency , end the citizens of "Omaha , particularlj" , have had occasion to applaud his earnest efforts in their behalf. Especially was that the case toward the close of the last session. To those who have only resided in Nebraska within the past two years , wo will say in reference ? to Mr. Crounse'a past history that he resided in New York until 1865. During the war he was in active army Service , and was disabled by wounds in 1862 , from which time he practiced law in his native State until his arrival here. Ho has served this State in the Legislature , in the fall of 1865 , and was electee Associate Justice on the supreme bench in I860. Through out his entire course of public ser vice in this State , his reputation lor honesty , candor and integrity , has never been assailed or questioned. The only fault the Democracy can find with him is that he is a staunch Republican. His election is a'fore gone conclusion. THE WAS OF BACES. The present troubles in Texas , Louisiana and other Southern States between the colored people and white settlers s ° ems to be consid ered by many .Democratic journals as partaking exclusively of a parti- zan nature , and AS the blame , by a large portion of the Democratic press , seems to be thrown at the door of the Republican administra tion we are glad to see a few leading Democratic journals take a some ; what more sensible view of the matter. The following , from the M'ssouri Republican , the leading Democratic journal of Missouri , also meets the warm endorsement of the Chicago Times. We recommend its careful perusal to the Omaha Her ald : "Without considering at present the blunders of national policy that have produced this deplorable rela tion between the whites and blacks , it is too evident that the whites are committing excesses which cannot be defended. We arts told that the riotous behavior and threat of the negroes produce these conflicts ; but even if this be true , in every in stance , it does not warrant the butchery of negroes in which they almost invariably end , nor will U avert the violent reaction of north ern opinion and feeling which these massacres will inevitably produce. Wo can tell the southern people that these conflicts , if not suppressed , will re-radicalize the north , give che republican party a new lease of pow er , defeat the democracy in every northern state , insure the enactment of the civil rights bill , and provoke from congress u harsher supplement of reconstruction than has yet been witnessed. The people of the south have exhibited much patience ana forbearance under the sufferings of the last nine years ; it would be an incalculable 'misfortune if they should now lose all the moral power which this patience has given them by an unjustifiable war upon the blacks. " clip the following from the correspondence of the St. Joe Her ald. It contains some suggestions which to us seem worthy of consid eration by many of our new immi grants , and may , if acted upon , prove profitable : lany men como from the East with the idea that a man can farm profitably in these States without any previous knowledge of the busi ness ; they go to work the first year to raise corn , and if that crop fails they have nothing whatever to fall back on. Then they curse the coun try , po back and tell all kinds of stories regarding the terrors of this Western country. Other men who understand the business , depend en tirely on corn for feed , although they are \voll aware that of all the crops rai ed in this country this is the least certain. Small grain rare ly , if ever , Jails , and yet the major ity of the farmers do not raise * any. A field of barley is almost a curiosity , oats are raised only in small quantities , while rye and flax appear to be shunned by nineteen farmers out of twenty. Why should this be ? It is an acknowledged fact that corn is not as good for feed for horses as oats , neither will it equal mangel- wurtzle , turnips , or other roots as feed for cattle or sheep ; and hogs will fatten quicker when fed barley meal than when fed-corn. In Eng land corn is not fed at all , and yet the beef , mutton and hog meat pro duced in that country cannot be equalled in this. Is it not possible to drop the prejudice to English custom * , and follow the example of English farmers in this respect ? Let the homesteaders of Kansas and and Nebraska consider this subject , and in future seasous not place all their dependence on their corn crop , which , when successful , is noc as profitable to raiseas binall grain. Germany. The recent uerman census snows that the non-German inhabitants of the Empire number 3,240,000 , or 8 per cent. They consist of 220,000 French-speaking people in Alsace- Lorraine , 10,000 French and Wal loons in the Rhine Provinces. 2- , 450,000 Poles , 150,000 Lithuanians , 150,000 Danes iu .North Schleswig , 88,000 Wends in Brandenburg and Silesia and 32,000 in Saxony , 50,090 Moravians and Czechs in Silesia , and 80,000 foreigners.

The Opinion of an Associated Press Agent that Cnster Would Fight. Gold in Unlimited Quantities. ( Special Dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat ) BISMAKCK , D. T. , August 31. Ouster's expedition returned to Fort Lincoln last 'evening , having marched in fifty-nine days over 900 miles , keeping within the Black Hills twenty-six days and traveling in valleys 300 miles in extent. Tne Running Water Region , where the Indians'report nuggets lying around loose , and the Big Horn Region , known to abound in gold , were not explored for lack of time. The marches were rapid and halts brief , preventing exhaustive research , and yet gold was found in almost unlim ited quantities iu Ouster's Park , seven miles south of Harney's Peak , where twenty of the boys took gold claims. There gold was found at the grass roots to the extent of five cents to the pan. increasing in amount until at the depth of eight feet the yield was twenty cents to the pan. With every mining facili ty , the miners estimate that from $25 to $100 per single man can be taken out in this gulch. Gold was found iu paying quantities at many points ; al o solid silver plumbago bed , inexhaustible. The country is so rich in external beauty and so nroductive , thai it is well styled a paradise as well as an Eldo rado. The Black Hills are held to be sacred grounds by the Indians , the hunting grounds of the Great Spirit , and aie never occupied by them , and seldom visited by them. There is in the w hole extent of the Hills not a single human habitant by the hostile trjbes who are located west and north , will not inolestand , it is believed there are not troops enough in the department to stop the rush of infatuated gold-hunters who will seek the hills 'from every quarter. Think of a few hundred men trying a line of miles jn extpnt , Impatient , 'almost desperate , on one side , and gold on the other. It can not be done. The distance from Bismarck to the' mines } s 200 miles. No hostile Indians were seen on the entire trip , though Custer wont 75 miles out of his road to strike a point where the whole Sioux nation was said to be acting for them. They had burned hundreds of miles in extent , apparently destroying the grazing ; that was alj the h.urm done. West of the hills where the buffalo range , they are" never even visited by the Indians at the Red Cloud , and Whetstone and Grand River Agencies feel tha.t the Qreat Father has , not kept faith with them In al lowing the white man to enter this region , but they will only protest , trusting the government tx > do them justice. The country north of the hills and west of Bismarck is neu- Iral grounds and Indians are rarely ever seen upon it , though it is crossed occasionally by war parties of the Sioux , seeking to btrade their old enemy , the Rees , at JBsrt.ljold , or by the latter on the war-path against the Sioux. The explorers are ready to lead an expedition from Bismarck to the Black Hills , if satis fied that .the government will buy them ; from the Little Missouri to Fort Lincoln , Stanley's trail was followed , finding good marching , good water and abundance of wood , arriving at Lincoln one day ahead of them , though making forced marches the last few days , as the forage was exhausted and rations short.

And still the Beechcr scandal , "like a snake , drags its slow length along. " Theodore Tilton may he a martyr ; hut it will hardly he worth while to try to make a hero of him. The Kansas City Journal speaks of the aldermen of that town as "gentlemen with red ayes and noes ! " In San Francisco the courts are trj'ing to decide whether a woman has the right to tend har in her own saloon. According to the Philadelphia Bulletin , guerrilla Mosby is not likely to become distinguished as a Painc-killer. Spotted Tail objects to a removal of his agency. He doesn't need Scripture to tell him how hard it is to change his spots. A Missouri exchange says : "A beautiful poem , entitled , will be found on. our inside.

" Kentucky dogs are getting away with Kentucky sheep at such a lively rate that the Kentucky farmers will not be pestered by the woolly var mints much longer. If it takes thirty bushels of pota toes per day to run a New York State camp meeting , how many gallons lens of whisky will be required to run a Democratic Convention ? 11 Why should we celebrate Wash ington's birth-day more than mine ? " asked a school-teacher. " Because he never told a lie ! " shouted a small boy. It appears that the Arkansas po em , credited to Bret Harte , is a for gery. As it is a good thing , and at the same time capable of being un derstood , it is easy to believe that Mr. Harto did not write it "Is there any person you wish me to marry ? " said a wife to a dy ing spouse , who had been somewhat of a tyrant in his day. "Marry the devil , if you like ! " w < ts the gruff re ply.

" The Spanish Government has con cluded a negotiation for one hundred and twenty-five thousand rifles with a Berlin factory. If the con sent of the German government can be obtained , they are to be of the newest construction used in the German army. While a Chicago family was absent on a summer tour the house was entered by burglars , who sold the effects at auction , pocketed the cash , and finally sold the house itself. It is getting to be almost as dangerous to leave Chicago as to stay there. "Are the Joneses back ? " inquired Mrs. Spilklns , who hasn't been out of town all summer.

( crom the Albany Argu . ) Yesterday morning a man named John Kclley was taken to the third precinct station house in an insensi ble condition. He was found in a freight car by some tramps who en tered the car at Sch.onectady Sun day uig ljt for the purpose of stealing a ride to this city. Tliey heard the groans of an apparently dying nian , and at first wore alarmed , hut on in vestigation Kelly was discovered. One of the trtimps poured sorno liquor down Kelly's ' throat , and on the arrival of the train nt West Al bany they procured a couple of sandwiches for him. These he de voured rapidly. He was helped from the car , when it was found that he could not walk , for he fell to the earth insensible. He was picked up and placed on a car and brought to the station house , as stated , from which he was carried on a stretcher to St. Peter's Hospital. Under the oare of Dr. Hart ho was speedily restored to consciousness. On being ques tioned , he related substantially the followinc story as to how he came in the position found 5 ily no me is John Kelly , and I am now twenty-three years of age. Three years ago I enlisted in the regular array and was assigned to the Second Cavalry , from which I was discharged about four weeks ago. The regiment Avas then .sta tioned at Camp Douglas , in Utah. From there X went to Omaha , and , unfortunately , got in with a rough crowd and it's a pretty rough place. I stayed ahout there drinking and gambling until all my money ( about ? 300) ) was gone , then I thought I would try aud reach home in Phila delphia. I started and made my way to Davenport , Iowa , stealing a ride when I could and walking the rest of the way , I arrived at Da venport last Wednesday , and could get nothing to do or to eat. Early on Thursday morning I en tered the car in which I was found before it was locked up , having noticed the day before that it was bound east. 15secretcd myself in the oats , and soon after , the cars started the dust from the oats , owing to the motion of the car , soon filled my eyesnose and mouth , BO that I could not breathe. While confined in the carl made two at tempts to open the door , hut was un able to do so. I became insensible ; knew nothing more until last night , when I was aroused by a racket outside the car , and soon after the door opened and three or four fel lows entered. They were making a noibe anu I endeavored to tell them to stop , when they discovered and dragged mo out of the oats. I had nothing to eat or drink from Wed nesday noon until this morning , when the fellows who came in the car gave me some thing. My folks all live in Philadelphia , and my father is proprietor of the New York House , near the Pennsylvania Cen tral depot. Kelly , who appears to be a stout , athletic young manseemed a while later but little the worse for this ter rible ride of a thousand miles , and will undoubtedly recover , although considerable care must be taken. But for his opportune discovery by the tramps , he would have contin ued on to New York , and in all probability would have been taken out dead , as he could not have sur vived many hours longer in the condition ill which ho was found. All the food he ate on Wednesday before starting from Davenport was two pears. The walk from Omaha to Davenport was about three hun dred miles , making in all about ouo thousand three hundred miles he has traveled since he left Omaha three weeks ago. Kivor Water in England. The condition ot some of the wat- cn. of some of the rivers in this country , says the Pall Mall Gazette , is now so horrible that those that fall ir.to them run the risk , 'not so much of being drowned as of being poisoned. This was the case with an unfortunate man on whose lxdy an inquest was held by the coroner atSaltord. It seems the deceased fell into the Irwell while looking at the ri'Jpga ' , and , according to the medical evidence , the cause of his death was foulness of the water. He had been in the river about ten minutes when ho as helped out , but died in forty-eight hours. He wa" , It is stated , a teetotaller , and , probably being accustomed to drink pure water , the filthy liquor he im bibed in the Jrwell told upon him with double severity. His medical attendant , after detailing the ail ments trom which the deceased had diedand , which were causcdhesaid , , by immersion in the4 Avater , mentioned that many of his ( witness1) ) patients were suffering from illness caused by inhaling the noxious grtses of the river Avhile they Avatched the regatta trews : practicing. The jury rendered a verdict of accidental death ; but death under snch circum * stances can hardly be called an accident It is a positive cestainty that any person who even strolls on the banks of the Irwell in- currs the danger of death by disease , Avhile those Avho fall into what are termed ite "waters" might as well plunge into a bath of prussic acid. This is a distressing state of affairs to any but those who contemplate suicide , and who , of course , delight hi the double deadlmess of this filthy river. There will also be considerable amusement in intem perate circles at this additional proof if , indeed , any were needed of the dangers to Avhich Avater- drltikers are exposed ; nor can there be any doubt that many persons are driven to drink adulterated gin and beer in despair of obtaining pure water.
