Ex-GovnRNORBuTLEit was treat
ed very shabbily by the Prohibition
Convention. .All his pains in be
half of the fanatics seem to have
gone for naught. Not only did
they deny him a place on their
ticket , but they did not see fit to re
ward him with a complimentary
resolution. "What an ungrateful
country this is , to be sure.
ONE of the great questions that is
bt now seriously agitating the
world of literature is whether Wil
liam .Shake pear was the real author
of what has been for more than two
centuries palmed olTas Shakespear's
plays. It is now asserted by several
very eminent literary critics of
England that Lord Bacon wrote
Shakcspcar's plays , and that Shal-e-
spear was merely a talented stage
actor who put these plays on the
IK irds.
THERE appears to be u very slight
discropency between the statements
of General Custer and Professors
"Winchel and Donaldson , the geolo
gists that accompanied his expedi
tion , touching the alleged gold dis
coveries in the Black IIHK "While
Custer insists that the gold nugget
fetorie-s arc true , "Winchel and Don
aldson , who claim to have niadu
professional examinations of the
country emphatically deny the ex
istance of auriferous deposits.
The best way to settle this little
discrepancy is to let Charlie Collins
and his thousandfold hunter. make
a prospecting tour through that
region.
THE corner-stone of the Ko-op
organization was inflation and lim
itless paper currency. On that issue
the fro-calledlndepeudents of Doug-
his county , under the lead of Harrison
risen Johnson , Major Davis and
Allen Root , was organized. To that
doctrine they wore all solemly
pledged. And now they have given
the lie to all their professions by
adopting a hard money plank at
fieir State Convention. How can
Davis , who avowed such de
termined hostility to a specie basis
in his Fourth of July oration , con
scientiously defend the hard money
fco , on which ho was nominated ?
ANOTHER great improvement in
the transmission of the mails is to
be inaugurated by the Postofllce
Department. Arrangements have
been completed by the superintend
ent of the U.S. railway mail service
for an entirely now feature in the
rapid distribution of great through
mail. The plan embraces mail
express trains , run at a , maximum
speed , carrying only mail cars , and
having the right of way under all
usual circumstances. These trains
aic to be put on between such of the
principal cities as the demand upon
the service will warrant. It is first
proposed to try the experiment upon
York and Chicago

cage , and 'hrough time is fixed at
about twnnty.four hours ,
THERE is a good joke on the
Jlcrald in connection with Mr.
Garber , but as it never apologizes
for jokes perpetrated on its-elf , it
consults discretion , and has no boast
to make of its valor. Jlcrald.
Yes , there is a very good joke in
connection with the Doctor , who
boastfully proclaimed that he could
prove those charges in fifteen minute
ute- ? , and Silas Garber , the chair
man of the Legislative investigating
committee. That joke explains it
self in the following telegram :
OMAHA , Feb. 13 , 1873.
7/on. Siltts Garltcr , Chairman Com
mittee , Lincoln :
Hope you will excuse me. Upon
my honor I know nothing except
from hcresay. Am alone on my

Tun Mxth plank in the Demo
cratic platform reads as follows.

arc the Mitiree of all power , and that
their \ \ iami \ \ not the u ibhu * oi
ineic pairy demagogue ? , should
govern and form the real basis > 1
all republican governments ,
.Now is not this the most unmiti
gated Kind of bosh ?
Does anybody possessed of a thhn-
blcfnll of brain deny the fundamen
tal principle , that the people are the
source of all power ? Was ever a
more absurd platitude incorporated
in any political platform ? Is not the
great principle proclaimed in tliii
plank older than the Declaration of
Independence ? " \Vill the Herald
kindly inform us to which of the
live Issues of the day this particular
plank hasiefcrenre ?
WILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON , in a
letter to the Boston Journal , com
ments very severely on theattempts
of the Southern DemoeracV to in
augurate a war of races. "If , " says
Mr Garrison , "the tragedies that
arc daily occurring were simply
murder or assassination to personal
revenge or to obtain a coveted
booty , they might be left to the dis
posal of the local authorities , and no
Governmental interference would
be deemed desirable or necessary ;
but they are notably for disloyal
ends , against the enjoyment of equal
civil and political rights , and in
the interest of that rebellio us splrl
which involved us in one of the
bloodiest conflicts recorded in the
annals of history , and which incom
parably prefers to rule in hell rath
er than serve in heaven. They
mean the suppression of the free
dom of speech , freedom of the press ,
the rightjieaccably to assemble to
gether for redress of grieveances , the
independent exercise of the elective
franchise in the hands of freemen ,
and the overthrow of all the safe
guards of personal securiety.

And j ou'll find , if j ou wish for good fortune ,
A pretty good way is to tuck

Don't sit around waiting fur luck.
You may pine and mope on forever-
Find fault and diplorc your hard f to
But you'd better remember tbe proerb

You may pout and grumble forever

In the mire of sloth and abasement

There is wealth to be had go and seek it !
And with it ge : honor and fame ;
By tbe sweat ol j our brow you can gain them ,
And carte for \ourself a proud name ;

HOW much can a woman bo mar

The Rutland Herald describes as
follows a wedding which occurred
in that place one" day last week :
"One of our ministers had gotten
about half way through 'eleventh
and finally , ' when he was called
out by a young man in overalls and
the rest of the workingman's dress ,
who asked him if he was ready to
perform a marriage. Certainly he
was but had the applicant a li
cense ? No , he hadn't ; didn't
know about it in fact. And so the
worthy parson and happy groom
strolled over to the town clerk's of
fice and procured the needful blank ,
after which the pair took up their
course to a by-street , thc'groom still
in work-day overalls and with
sleeves rolled up. Arrived at the
residence of the other party to the
bargain , the blue overalls led the
way in and summoned from the
tuba woman wl\owns \ washing with
sleeve.- ! rolled up , dress pinned up ,
and htiir tied up. With no delay
the bride dropped the skirts , rolled
down her siceve-J , diied her hands ,
and stepped into the next room ,
whern blue overalls stood up
with her , and the miimtcr pro
nounced the words that made them
man and wife ; whereupon the di
vine went back to his 'eleventh,1
the bride to her tub , and the groom
to his work. "

This card of admission is an ab

possibly accommodate more than
that number of persons.
The ceremony will begin at 11
o'clock , and bo over by a quarter to
12 , and the reception will not com
mence until 1 o'clock. The invita
tions to the house will not be as
numerous as these to the church ,

the few moments each guest is ex
pected to remain in the three hours
to which the reception is necessarily
limited , as a portion of the family

their tlueats and shut up the schools
altogether. It holds th\t ; \ , neverthe

believing that that combination
would make a , good teacher.
Some Irish Roman Catholic fam

a Sunday or t\VO ago , a singular
feature of thp collection taken to

rather ludicious. The church to be
