Reasons for this , it is understood , in elude the urgent request of President Grevy. It is certain that Gimbetta will not accept an office. A feeling exists that a vote will bo taken in the chambers canable of an explanation consistent with the relation of power between M. Ferry aad hh coadjutor * . The republiian press consider the vote in the chamber yesterday duo to a misunderstanding , and that the min istry aolei with inconsiderate haste in construing it as a want of confidence. The conservatives maintain that th cabinet fell from a want of cohesion , and accuse it of having pursued a hes itating and incongruous policy thai was csrlain to end in destruction. The radicals ara loud in demanding a dis solution ol tae chambers and & forma tion of a new cabinet , and the opinion is gaining ground that the crisis will end as the radicals pray that it may.

THE STOCK INTEREST , Cattle Grazing Growing to Immense Proportions in Western Nebraska. Many Herds Will be Wintered in the Cornfields of - * - the Platte. Correspondence of The l > eo. SID > KY , Nob. , November 8. Wea- tsrn Nebraska is to-day one immense cattle field , and the business of cattle grazing is prosecuted with greaf profit. The cattle are wintered with very lit tle expense and the freight charges for transporting them to market are much leas than from moro western fields. At this season of the year cattle tlo are being shipped as fast as cars can be found to carry them away. North Platte , Ogalalla and Sidney , are the great shipping points on the U. P , in Nebraska. The midsummer was very dry and the grass very short and scant , till-fall set hi. In consequence many cattle are too thin for shipment and will be kept over for another year. In a wet season cattle find surface water on the high land , which , with the aid of small streamlets running from the hill country to the rivers , supply water for the stock several iveeks in summer , but this year the small stiearns and surface ponds were dry and the cattle have been pastured along the rivers nnd larger streams all the season. Now the best grass is found on the high land and the bottom tom landsare almost hire. There are eery few first-class shippers , the cat tle men Bay , and there was never much better prospects for good winter Feel. Some stockmen are not ship ping any this year , and some are driv ing their saleable cattle to the corn : ountry to be fed. The shippers from North Platte this year nra M. C. Keith , D. W. Walker. H.

Kennedy , of Kearney , Nebras ka , is driving his thipping cattle to Hirvard , Nebraska , where they will be fed this winter. His ranch Is forty m'lea north from Sidney The politicians of western Nebras ka have been working very energet- icilly this year , for their pjlitical fel- Iowa in some cases , but more ofier for local pbtd. The canvass was divested of party strictures and party lines cut no figure at the p ills. Democrats worked for republicins and rbpubli- cans worked for democrats , where they thousht it better suited their purpose. The Sidney Telegraph , a democratic paper , worked for Snyder , a republican candidate , and the North Platta Republican worked for Samuel Watts , a democrat. Church , tha op ponent of Watts , was detested by sev enty-one votes , though the electoral ticket showed his district to be repub lican by 110 votes. Railroad men tooka great deal of interest in the cinvas , but it was a ksing game fnr them. Watts , the Lincoln county representative-elect , ia one of Nebras ka's pioneers who enjoya the full con fidence of hia neighbors and ia per sonally very popular. Henry Snj der , U.

A History of his contrivances for es cape previous to his arrival in Lincoln may not be uninteresting to our read ers : ROBS , the road acut : , now serving a tea years' sentence in the Nebraska tate prison , at Lincoln , IB a criminal of more than ordinary boldness and cunning. The ingenious contrivances or escaping from prison which were recently captured in hia possession , ; ive evidence of remarkable mechani- al skill and inventive rosonrco. Sher- ffDraperand Dof5uty Martin noticed a teculisr move on the part of some of he prisoners when locking them up or the nu > ht. Determined oa learn- ng the canao of the strange conduct , Sheriff Draper went into the cage to examine the cells. He then discovered hat Wellajtraj in Ross' cell.contrary to orders , and several other changes had > een made. An investigation was hen made , and a wooden key was ound in the lining of Ross' coat tall , which had been made rf a piece of iroom handle by a small , dull knife ) lade , and ti aavr which had been fash- oned out of the stcul skanLs in Roas * > oots. Two one-inch bars of the cage were found to have been sawed almost hrough and the cracks filled up with oap. In the cell , concealed among he bed clothing , was a rope twelve eat long , which had been made of he bandages placed on the wounds of a prisoner named Pnco. The rope is a marvel -workmanship ; a perfect rope and very strong. Thn prisoners afterwards told the nhcnlF that thay lad perfected their platu to escape hat very uiglit on which their plot was discovered When a thorough earch had been completed tto sheriff and deputy changed thu locks on their cells. Rosa and Wells made no fur- her attempt to brei't ' jail. But Ross lid not give up the idea of escaping , 'or ' , after bis sentoncc , bo laid anoth er plan , which almost succeeded. He made a cair of keys out of the brass > ack of a comb , which would unlock iis InndcafFi like a charm. He iad also sawed nearly through the rons en hii ankles and filled up the caps with snap. Snwed up In the ) ottom of the boson of hii flinnel hirt were found the twu brasa keys mentioned abov > > , a saw made cf a > iuce of steel an inch long , which was aatened in a piece of wood , and a nail and some string. RI.SA' plan of es cape was completely spoiled by chang- ng the shackled and handcuffs , and aking from him the kejs and saw. lenceRosj Is safely c mi red. Ross' crowning work waa the wood en key already alluded to. It was ma < ? e of iho top of a brr > rim handle , and unlocked the big jitl lock as nicu- y as ha proper key. How he over ; ot the richtgrofViia and buvels is a mystery ; butp rhspiho to * k an im- iresilon with a piece of snap There s also seen an ingenious lamp , made much like the "witch" of our boy- lood days. It in nothing moro than a lollow vessel filled with tat and grease which the prisoners partd fJom their meat and butter , and a wick made of a rag. ThiR wa ? osed by tha culprits at night. L'ghu of nil kinds in jail are positively prohibited by the fiber s' . The "witch" is n inganious con trivance to avoid this prohibition. All disputes connected with the Emma mniii litigation have been amj- cably settled. PROPOSALS FOR COAL. OmcB or Cm Ciior. \ O * UA.
