FaoiHtlon.
Corrc jwiulcncoot Tim linn.
Your corri'spondont loft Ulnir ( of
which ho has already mndo mention ) ,
skipped the thriving city of Fremont
and found himself in the nicturcquo
little town of
This town consists of a mammoth
elevator nnd hog yards owned by Mr.
Wilson , of Fremont , nnd under the
able iiinnngciucnt of 11. B. Schinoiler
tlioy do n trcdondoua trade , which is
bringing the town into notice. The
postoflico and station business is con
trolled ably by O. B. Ilippoy assisted
by his both affable a.id beautiful sister -
tor , Bliss Libbio Ilippoy. This at
present is all of the business part of
Nickerson. The great need of a general
store to supply the wants of the sur
rounding farmers will soon bo sup
plied , for in n fow.weeks there will
bo such a store opened by 0. B Hip-
poy and n young man who is so bash
ful ho does not want to sco his name
in print. Also , you might add a
blacksmith shop , nnd then I think
this town will nt once make n different -
ent showing. The farming country
around it is superb nnd all it needs ia
n push nnd the bnll will keep rolling.
Next in line I came upon
HOOl'Kll ,
which loomed upon my vision n bust
ling business town of many stores ,
two grain elevators and cattle yards.
If time and space wore not limited I
could speak for some time of Hooper ,
but suffice it to say they do an im
mense trade and all tnkoTun BKE ,
therefore being hnppy and prosperous ,
'
with a bright future ahoad'of thorn. '
Having stopped at this town only
n few minutes I can only speak from
a rnpid glance and a hnsty handshake
shako with numerous triends. Scrib-
ner is on the boom , making money
rapidly and expect big return's for
'
labor re'ndered , which in all cases they
receive , no one , it is said , being idle
in or around the town who desire
work nt fair wa es. Next in order
comes
WIST : POINT.
This is where the noble Valentine
when worn out by his arduous duties
at Washington comes to recuperate
his wasted strength and where in his
massive mind he imagines this to bo
his freehold as well ns stronghold ; but t
lot us warn the chairman of the agri
cultural committee that THE BEK has
boon to work and has sown seeds of
discord among his brethren , causing
thorn to rise m their might and put
down his and hisjboss'sthoCTiiion ( ; Pa
cific ) despotic rule nnd "trample it
under foot.
WISNEU
next appears on the scene with its
fane stores nnd good hotel. This is a
good business point but appears to
the untutored eye , as I suppose mine
is , to lock energy in all branches but
in the soiling of liquors. This busi
ness is carried on with the greatest
amount of vim and enterprise. " "
next town of any size is
STANTON ,
which , although I was there only for a
short time , yet I can see that they
mean business. They have recovered *
from the effects of the cyclone , and
are building rapidly. On the old
hotel site now stands nspretty a little
hotel as is in Nebraska , under the
management of J L. Avery , the sta
tion agent , and it is a first-class house
in all of its nppotntmonts. I wish
Stanton well , and hope it may moot
with success in the future. Next
comes
NOHKOLK.
This point is destined to bo a town of
importance , having now three rail
roads centering in it. It promises tote
to bo n good wholesale center , and
also has fine facilities for manufactur
ing In am prophet enough to see a
bright future in store for it. I al
most forgot to mention friend Harvey
of the Norfolk Junction houso. Ho
has ono of the best houses anywhere
on the road.
Next in order are Battle Greek ,
Burnett and , Oakdalo , which are all
small thriving towns with good farm
ing country around them , and therefore -
fore drawing them a good trade , nnd
by this keeping the merchants all
good natured and having their minds
free from trouble , so that when the
day's work is done they can ait down
by the fireside nnd read in comfort
Tin : OMAHA DEI : .
NKUOII.
This is the moat prominent town
west of Norfolk , doing a largo trade ,
having fine banking facilities and good
hotels. It ii , in fact , in all points , a
live , onorgotio business point and in
all respects is n BEK town , everyone , ,
with hardly an exception , roadinu ; it.
The next town of any size is
O'.YKIM. C'JTV.
This ib the county seat of Hall coun
ty , and deserves a good trade. Every
body that hns traveled in Nebraska
knows Mr. Pat Hngerty , who lias
kept the largest store in O'Neill for
many years. Ho expresses the feel
ings of all the citizens when ho says
"TiiK BEE is the best paper inOmaha
and I would not bo without it. " They
intend starting a now paper hero ol
good solid principles under the able
management of Judge Oloavoland , the
newly elected county judi < o , nnd
wish thorn success in all points.
ATKINSON
is a small town , but full of grit , docs
a big business and has four stores. It
is in n now country and will improve
for it hns the right kind of men in it ;
and they all road TIIK BKE.
I.ONO I'INK
is the terminus of the main lino. I
is a now town , roughly built , as o
course is nil towns of a few month
growth. It is improving rapidly * I
hns several stores iind n good hotel
and is learning like a sensible in fun
not to read trash , but to take all th
beat reading matter to store its youn
mind ; therefore it has chosen TH.
BEE.
Having briefly sketched the towi
along the irmin line of this now nnd.
I t will now tnko the render down the
Kiobrara branch , first stopping nt
riKUCE.
This is the county sent of Pierce
county , nnd hns three stores nnd n
, 'oocl ] hotel , nil of tliom.iloing n good
business , Although it hns n Inr u
town near it , yet it has a line country
around it nnd draws n good trade ,
This town is still young , but withal
thrivinu , nnd presents n fair future.
The merchants nto hopeful , nnd have
good cnuso , for there is an admirably
good chnnco for them.
U11KIIIITOH.
This also is n now town , but isquito
largo nnd still growing. It hns n fine
trade nnd good fncilitics of ndvnnco-
incut nnd growth. Its merchants nre
pushing young moil and cannot help
prospering. There are two good hotels
at this point , both of which ha\o all
they ciui do , This is the terminus of
the Niobrara branch , We loft Croigh-
ton by stage , passing through tlio
thriving little village of
IIA/.IU ; MILLS.
This town hns n trade thnt is sur
prising for so small n town. It is snid
thnt one firm here nlono , Messrs.
Brooks Bros , docs 800,000 worth of
business yearly. This veiy plainly
tells what a nmgniflcoi.t farming coun
try this part of Nebraska must bo.
The next important point reached is
NIOURAIU.
This town your correspondent did
not hnvo n very good chnnco of eooing
to good advantage , as tlioy nro mov
ing upon higher ground nbout two
miles from the old sito. But from nil
thnt could bo scon it is doina n big
trade nnd is in a prosperous condition ,
and the majority of the inhabitants
in nil cases road THE BEK.
In closing lot mo say thnt never in
my experience have I moro enjoyed n
trip than thin , owing entirely to the
cordiality nnd friendship of nil the
residents along this roncl. They know
Tim BEI : nnd npprccinto its worth ,
nnd therefore treat its representatives
with all kindness. If this should
roach the eye of any contemplating
n change of homo let mo ndviso them
to como here for n warm welcome
and fine land at n low figure ; in fact
itnv is ns is said , "A frco homo for the
million. " . PHLOY.

This-city is built between the hills , on
the hills and under the hills. It is a
wealthy city. The assessed valuation
of real and personal property for this
year will be closn to the onormons
amount of ono hundred millions of
dollars. Yet the taxes are high. It
has 3G wards , and 180 policemen. It
did have 220 , but now only 180. Th'eir
salary is the miserable pittance of $2
a day , and they furnish their own
suits pants about § 10 , coats § 25
each. They should got not loss than
75 to $100 per month. It is a disa-
recnblo job nt best , besides the con-
: ant danger of being killed. Those
ron nnd glass men , when drunk , are
ot easy to handle. The mayor gets
0,000 from the city and § 1,000 from
lie'county per year. Ho appoints
eputy mayors. There art ) now live
Idormon acting ns such ; ono in East
jiborty , ono in Punn nnd three in
iurminghnm , south eido ot Mon-
ngaholiu river. Tlioy only'got foes for

vhon you consider one mayor and five
oputies and 180 police looking after
ho best interests of lifo and property
or a city of nearly 170,000 people ,
with its enormous iron , steal and coal
nd coke interests , employing rogi-
inonts of men. The American Iron
ompany , on the South Side , employ
bout 4,000 men , skilled and unskilled
aborers. A largo number of the
nills employ from > 100 to 1,500 men
) oys , It is a wonderful industry , this
ron and Btool. It requires about one
lUlidrcd million of dollars to carry it

and coke business , including hind ,

unount , or more , of ready cnnli. Some
companion here UBO and control ten
nillions of money , Some go after the

gives employment to a largo number
of men and boys. All kinds of glass ,
ware , and oven elastic ware for la
dies , . ia manufactured on the south
sidp. It was n real pleasure for the
writer to oeo the different goods
made. It is estimated thnt sixty mil
lions of dollars are invested in the
glass industry. The old city of Pitts-
burg wns formerly confined between
the Allegheny and Mononguhela riv
ers , but her lostless ambition and vn
dustry wax not fully satisfied she in
duced several adjoining email cities
to partake of her municipal mis
ery and joy , as it might afterwards
prove. Theio aio three very sUop
incline ways used for passengers to
assend up the hills 400 to COO ot ,
from the valley of the Mononguhela.
It is n dizzy ride up , up COO or 700
foot , all in ono ami a half minutes for
tivo cents.
Mounts Olivet and Washington are
reached thnt way. She did not court
so successfully her northern neigh
bors. As there is only the river be

nnd she certainly does not fail to
annoy many good people. The
writer hits soon it several days
this winter when he could not nee ono
block ahead , and ns tor seeing the
hills it h utterly impossible on a
rainy day , or when the atmoaphoro is
so heavy ns to keep the smoke of the
thousands of smoke stncKs nml ohim-
nays low down. Yet , wiih nil of its
local disndvniitngcft , it is n genuine
representative nt American energy
nnd mechanical skill. If the United
Stntea will ever bo known in the to-
mote future it will bo ns the boatman-
ufaclming nation allowed to exist by

The winter here has been very open
nnd warm with considerable rain and
little snow ,
Things are ns high here na in Mis

portation is the vital question for the
near future , nnd not so much the
crop. Railroads have destroyed dis
tance. The boatmen have plenty of
water here this season ; no ice on the
rivers , only some lloating snow nnd
slush , but there is plenty of time before -
fore May day to have ice houses well
tilled. The Ohio river commences

Something About the Vatican ,
lloston IlrraM.
A'l item in the cablegrams apropos
the taking wf the Italian census is so
worded as to mislead the reader un
familiar with papal court , says the
Philadelphia Times. "Of 5,000 per
sons inhabiting the Vatican , " says the
itemone-third are women. The Vat
ican , it.should bo remembered , is not
only the papal palace it is , since the
entrance of the Italian force , the pa-
pal city as well as the pnpnl court ,
In its i 8,000 apartments are lodged the
lay as well as the clvrie.il adjuncts of
the Pope's government. On the ground
is a barrick of 500 or more pontifical
guards. These , in some cases , have
their wives ; all the ollicyra have their
wives. The Vatican is built for n
third of n milg on the side of the old
hill of Jaliiculumas ; | a cousoquonco its
lower , or basement portion , is far
above the ground on the front looking
toward the Tibor. In the upper
apartments , reached by at least fifty
stops , nro the vast statuary museums ;
above those again the paintings. To
reach the vast stretch of apartments
inhabited by the Pope , long flights of
broad marble stairs , at least 100 in
number , must bo ascended. The Sistine -
tine Chapel itself , with its wondernus
" of " Michael Angelo
"Day Judgement , by -
golo and the frescoes of Hnfnel , is
fully 100 feet above the utioot love )
nt the entianco of the p.ilnuu. ( Scores
of ttoinon uro kept constantly employ
ed in the ondleEH suites of art galler
ies , libraries , kitchen nnd whatnots
necessary for the maintenance of such
,111 nrmy of people , so that the proportion
tion of one-third women to fiOO re-
tninors by no menus corresponds with
the bald and disingenuous eablo item
aeem to imply ,
