Tonji'urs ago , the hundredth merid ian or the center of BnlValo county , was considered the extreme limit of arabln lands westward in Nebraska. Tim vast domain which slrclohe.s fiom near ICcurney ( o the Wyoming line was ghei over by the. wisdom of editors and tin Ignorance of the great majority of others togra/.iug purposes. There were few who saw in tlio rich prairies covered will bunch grass , from which the bnfl'alo had hardly passed , the possibilities of fields of wax ing grain and broad acres of yd low corn. To eastern Nebraska it wa > still the frontier and doomed by the nat nrul laws of climalo to remain so per pduall > . Nature does not always take men inti : her secrets. The limit of arable land in Nebraska has steadily pushed westward year by year. Unlit lias followed freely in the tracks of the settler who has dared to break the sod. For a hundred mill west of Kearney the farmers Inn o taken up nearly every aero of the land which was considered worthless ten years ago and for two hundred miles farther wes the prairlo is dotted with the lilllo dug out * . Mild moro pre.tenlioiH sod-houses of farmer pioneers. Bntl'alo county ( in the 1st of last June contained 14,51 ! ! popnla tion and boasted of 7,531 farms , Dawson county , .still further west , of 0,710 inhabit ants and 2J0'.I ! farms , and Lincoln , its next door neighbor , of 5,002 population and ! W3 ; ! tracts under cultivation. But two counties along the line of the Union 1'acilic remain to be settled up before the western limit of the stale is vouched , VIA : Keith and ( Ihoyonnc , whoso condition htm been .so graphically set foith in the columns of the Bnn by ( Jencral Thayer. If their growth is at all commensurnlo with that of their immediate neighbors , the census of ISi'O will fee the entire disappearance of the rainless frontier in Nebraska. Accoi ding to our last slate census , the counties of Bullulo , Daw.son and Lincoln have more than doubled in population , and now contain in the neighborhood of 80,000 Inhabitants , while Keith has grown from a cattle shipping region with less than two bundled floating population tea a county which in Juno last counted up 1,200 inhabitants , and at the pre enttimo claims , and undoubtedly has , nearer ! ! ,000. The remarks made about the extension tension of agiiculturo and growth of population along the Union I'ucllic ap ply with even moro force to the develop ment in northwestern and southwestern Nebraska. The census of 1830 omits from its lists the counties of Brown , Cherry , Sheiiilan and Dawes , whose com bined population , according to the state census taken last June , was 14,710 , and which cannot to-day bo lo s than ! > 0,000. IIoll county , in 1SSO , uiporlcd. 13,287 popu lation. It comes up smiling in this year of grace 1885 with moro than 10,000. In the region from O'Ncil to the Wyo ming line , which five years ago contained by census less than -1,000 people , more than ! ! 0,000 inhabitants are now making their living , and 7,000 farms are in pro cess of cultivation. Tlio cold .slaliatics of to-day tuo the boit reply to the fore bodings of the wiseacres of Iho last do- oade. In the .south Platte country the progress from frontier to farm has gone on with scarcely less vigor. As in the case of the most northern counties , the greatest de velopment is noted in thai which had been considered most woitlilu.ss. Tim growth of that tier of counties 1 ing directly south of Dawson , Lincoln and Kcillt shows an incrimo of popula tion from 12,115 to 122,559 , while the lower most counties report an iucioase of some 8,000 la u total of 311,000 present popula tion. tion.The The rich valley of the Loup , the conn' ties of Shennun , Valley , Lonp , Whoclori and Ouster , which have remained more or lo.ss isolated , and ignored for so long because of their isolationjoin the proces sion of their sisters in western Nebraska development. Five yeans ago Glister re ported 0,217 inhabitants. To-day she stands credited with 13,8 , ! ) ! ) , In 1880 Sher man was thinly settled with 2,001. Five years later she had moro than doubled her population , with Valley , Lonp and Wheeler with the sumo record. The frontier , us may bo boon from these statistics of our state's marvellous growth , is being year by year crowded towards the Wyoming lino. Man is assisting nature in changing the face of the coun try , ( irovos and orchards , pastures and ploughed laud , farm houses , churches and schools and prosperous towns are rapidly erasing the old tlmo dpsort from the face of the map. Year by year its extent has been contraotod. J-'iyo years from now , who is prepared to say that it will exist except in memory 1 AIHnntod Imputation. The sudden death of , Judge. Thcodorio H. Wostbrook , in Now York , last week , marked the end of a judicial career which has failed to call forth u single word of editorial pralso from the metropolitan press. No friend of the duconsod can read the reminiscences of thuduad judge , with which the Now York papers are filled , with any emotions except those of shame. His legal ability , his favor us a judge with bar and jury , his line personal presence nil receive the prominence duo them , but are overshadowed completely by the single sentence , "Jay ( lould'a blind had been laid on him und his court was the crcuturo of his corporations , " JuJgo Wostbrook first came into unonvinblo prominence in iho civil notions brought against the members of Iho Tweed ring. It was gen erally believed that ho shared in the benefits of that carnlvnl of plunder. It Is recalled that ho prcslditd ever the Tweed civil actions , ami when ho an- uuunced the compromise of the suits agnintt IVIcr B.

Ills selection of Judge Dillon , an receiver.led to the taking that Judg.i Wosllnook held eotiit In Jay ( lOttld s chambers. Kvery circumstance In- \iled the conclusion that he played into the hands of Cioiild , Field and Sage , although , "on the evi dence , " the legislature did not impeach him. It was a weitdly significant fact that when the judge's room was broken into last \Vcdnesdny morning in Troy the occupant lay dca 1 , with outstretched linger pointing to a legal paper with the title , "Opinion of T. H. WeMbrookin the < ! ! < ! ( of Iho Manhattan vs. New York Klcvated it. U. " To men In positions of judicial trust there Is certain death in the corrupting touch of great corporations. lU-piitation , honor , all that a man of integrity holds niiKt dear as a bequest to family and community after they are removed from their midst , shrivel before it. Any pres ent advantage sinks into insignilicanco before the certain results of dishonor ami public scorn which most surely eusuo from the imtfii mispidon of judicial cor ruption. Tlio r ruit Monument Vmul. The New York fiDinncri'iitt Ji/ < .vr//.v'r / sound- note of distress over the ( Jraut monument fund , as follows : "The grow Hi of the ( Jrant monument fund is now so slow as scarcely to be growth at all. Fitful contributions of a few dollars are received now and then , but practically the collection of funds for thin pnrpo-m has ceased. There mustbo u reason for the speedy popular neglect into which tlio enterprise has fallen , and for the apathy that bus succeeded the cniick en- thn.siasm of a few week ago. " The reason for "the popular neglect" must be found in Xuvr York alone. Outside of that city the only feeling is that the nation .should not be called upon to contribute to a- purely local tribute to General ( irant'-J fame. Other cities which are rais ing lianiNome funds for their own ( iranl monuments will not de cline to contiibiito to a national memorial to bo placed in the national capital. The expression of opinion is almost universal that General Grant's plaoo of burial was ill chosen , but that once made , the people of the city in whose midst he ret- > should properly rear his tomb without calling upon the country at large to share in the expense The fact of the matter is , limb New York with all its wealth is greedy of its menus , deficient in enterprise and devoid of en thusiasm necessary to organize anil push to completion any scheme which docs not promise returns in dollars and cents. Ft , gladly accepted the * honor of General Grant's funeral and cheerfully raked in the hundreds of thousands of dollars which the obsequies brought into the city. A monument , however , promises no such returns audits thrifty eiti/.ens are now eagerly passing around the empty hat to the people of other states and expressing sorrowful surprise at their refusal to con tribute. Tin : weakness of any system of civil service rnle * > in asatiringlennrc of olllee is being made clearer. JMon of both parties arc beginning to sec that in praetiea operation , under practical politicians , they act as very liltlo of a safeguard to the ins and are not much of an obstruc tion ( o the outs. But when ( he civil ser vice rules and ' ofl'onsivo partisanship con flict to democratic disadvantage , the government inspector puts in his appeal- unco on an ollicial visit. Under these distressing circumstances ho comes to lind "something wrong" and m nine oa cs out of ten , as in duty bound , he linils it. If the ofliee it is desired to va cate is a postollice , there are a do/wn ways in which the inspector can make room for a successor to tlio incumbent. Failure in complying with some mouldy regulation of .88i or neglout to keep the hinges of the stamp window properly oiled , are generally sullieient as ovidon- , oingdisrcgatd of superiors in theono case and want of care for the public norve.s in the othor. But if these fail there are a numborof equally sin-Ions charges which can bo made and sustained ; any one ot which would "warrant removal. " An inspector's visit to an Indian ngonoy can bo made still moro fruitful of re sults if so desired by the authorities at nt Washington. In this case , the com plaints ol the smallest faction against the agent nro carefully noted , and are rein forced by the accusations of the half- breeds and expelled squaw men. Statements monts of the largo majority of the In dians favorable to the agent are brushed aside as made under fear of coercion. Following out this principle , vacancies under the Interior department can ho made with promptness and disputoh , and civil service reform agitation si lenced. AI.THOUOU summer has departed it seems that Iho silly season Is not yet over. The most "remarkable snakesloryof the season" has jn.st found its way into print. Of course it comes from ( Jcorgiu , the land of eccentric sensations ; and us the man who vouches for the story is a church member no one will doubt it. Two boys caught a snake , mid on rolling it over saw the tall of another .snake protruding from its month. One of the boys soi/.ud the tail of the one snake , the other the tail of the ether snake , and proceeded to relieve his kingship of his dainty dinner. The snake swallowed by the king snake proved to be a pilot snake , three feet four inches long and five inches In circumfer ence , while the king snake was four feet and four inches long and four inches in circumference. To match this snake sto ry of the land one of the water is produced aimnllanooiibly. A son captain , who land , cd in Now York n few clays ngo from Nnovitn , reports that Ids vessel on the fourth day out mot a genuine sea serpent & 00 feet long , It Is not stated whether tin sea captain is a church member , ami hence wo regard his statement as a iy" story from a muu kultauna ovor.

Th" Burlington now has a connedion over thn Denver & Itio Grande with thn Central Pacllic at Ogden , which gives it a Ihrotigh line from Chicago to San Fnincisco. The Denver TnlnttiC'lfcpiibtii'dii , which ques tions the truth of Mr. Shelb's , prediction in regard to I lie Union Pacific , nays that thn next road to cross the continent will be the Burlington. This road , su.vs the Trititnir-HfjwMiean , is m surely headed toward Sun Franolsco an anything in projected railway construction i9 ui'e , and while "it will require Hovenil years to build from Denver to San Francisco , the Burlington will get there long before the Union Piteilic. " This may bn true and It is equally trim that the Chicago iV Northwestern keep pace with the Burlington in the face toward the Golden Gate. Tlio Northwestern is pushing along at a lively rate through novlhern Nebraska and northern Wyoming , the intention being to make a junction with the Central Padlio at Ogilcn. The Union Padlio being thus paralleled and tapped by two roads will find itself badly crippled , ami if the money could be raised wo would not bo surprised to see it extended to San Francisco in sdf- dcfenso. Ot course the Central Padlm will endeavor iu every possible way to prevent Iho extension of any of the Ihreo roads to the coast , but nevertheless we think that there is considerable truth in the prediction of Mr. Shelby.

" in writing from Now York regarding Cardinal Mi Closkv during the prelate' * living hours , savs : lie was born iutBrooklyn oh the tilth of March , IHIO. His parents were both unlives of the comity of Derry , in Ireland , mid had cm- grated to the United states a few years before , bringing with them what was them deemed a sullioicnl amount of means to "tart at once into some busi ness. S.-ig.idly in business , industry and ppr.scvorunoo were hlivudy .securing to them a fnir measure of worldly prosperity - ity , when the birth of this son brought joy to their household. Brooklyn , ill present boasting of over half si million inhuhitAnts , is then a Tilth ) town uf not quite 4noO sonN. There wen- few Cath olics in it , and no church. The census showed llm population ot New York to bo less than 100.000. There wens only two Catholic churches , the old brick t hnrch of .St. Poter'c , in Burolav .street , ami SI Patrick's eathetlr.il , iu Mulberry .street , "tho new church out of town , " as it wusoflen called. The Catholics were so fo\v that for u time high muss was celebrated in each church on alter nate Sundays , ono chinch being closed nt the proper hour in older thatiheothcr might have .somewhat of n suitable con- giogutinn. The clergy were so few that tlio venerable ; Bishop Connolly used to take Ins turn Vtilli the priests each Sun- ilav iii singing the usual high mass , pontificating tificating on tlio moro solemn lesthuls. John McCloskoy was bupli/.ed in St. Peter's i iivroli I > , \ Hcv. Anthony Kohl- man , S. . ) . , who with Hey. Benedict Fen- wick.S. , ) . , ( uficrwurd bishop of Boston ) , and Father Mullen , assisted Bishop Con- noll.in . the ministry of the church The chihl of .such parents could -earccly be other than religious ami bright. The cardinal gave a charming reminiscence of those early tla > s when in u sermon in Brooklyn hu pictured that sweat Irish mother loading her little boy by the hand on Sunday morning down to Iho strand of the K.ist river. Brooklyn had no wharves in that day , and crossing the stream in a rowbout or in tlio primitive horse leri.\ , thai they both might attend mass in ll'm lilllo red brick church in Buiolux street. This boy was sent to school at an early age , anil schoolmates of his who .still live spi-ik of him as a gentle , deli- calejail , who avoided rougn play and studied hard , always retiring ami modest , ever in good humor , ami whatever his class aid , pretty suns to bo at the lienl of it His lather , proud of the pi ogress his son wits making , and de sirous of giving him every advantage that a Catholic oulh could' then obtain , declared his intention of sending him as soon as bis age would allow it to George town College , of which Father Fonwiek , to whom the family hail become much attached in Now lork , hud become the president.

There is nothing flashy about him. The man Is H. J. Buldvvin.'famlHurlv known u "Lnckj Baldwin , " the notett Califor nia millionaire. Mr. Baldwin lias been here for several tlays , attending the fall races with his ntrltia of runners Last night Mr. lluhlvvili related to u Courier-Journal representative inlic'i ' of his early experience , ho\S ho rose from povorlv to millions utid what tlungor.s and labors ho pulsed through belore ho reitdietl vvciillh. He was born near Cin cinnati , ( ) . , but in 1&VI was running a .small More in Itadnc , Wis. . endeavoring to lake care of himself ami u M img vv ife. For four jour * the fiuno of the golden I'alifornia coast bad lrnered all parts of Iho east ami Iho Mississippi valley. Stories of how men , One da\ the poshes- sors of nothing , on the next Ihn owners of fort tines , were common , and all worn believed In ( hut same year , I MM , Mr. Baldwin sold his little store in Kucinn , and ho and his wife joined u wagon train In make their perilous way across the plains to the now Khlorado , where for tune bid fair to smile on all. Indians Were tlio great danger to the emigrants , and during the year thai Mr. Baldwin clnHo for his journey they were vvor.se than they hud ever been before or illiei' , all hough there Is much rciiMin to believe that muliy of the robberies ami mnrdcn were committed l v the Mormons dis guised as Indians. Mr. Baldwin's train was not an exception to the lit of miller- ers , ami he graphically related how the attack was made , "When wecamotolho llnmboldl ii\cr , in Colorado , " he said , "our parly sepa rated , about thirty , among whom were in.v soil and wife , going to Iho not Hi , in order to pass iirotlml ifio wells , or head- water.sot Uio Hninboldt river. Wo had left the main portion of the trein for Sev eral days mid hail goim around the wells , when wo camped ono evening near a sijriilg of fresh water in a liitlo valley , with a high blnlVon one side. The night passed aw a. without trouble , but early the next morning , just after daylight , shots were tired at us from the blull' . "A party of Indians hail concealed themselves amid the thick .shrubbery onto [ to ] ) ot the clilVaml were beginning u live ly lire upon our party. Wo had placed our wagons in a kinti of MMni-drcle and , harricatlin" ; behind them , wo returned the lire. Our people were not ut all well well armed , lor they lint ! only a number of old guns that coiihl not lie denended on , and thus lilllo damage was tlone on either Mile. The Indians sent part of ( heir men around und they came down in the valley , opening u lire Irom our side. Things grew too hot and we had to lake take Might. We hitched up our horses and took oar cour- through a kind of canyon that led through the hills. "The Indians followed us with a jell and KOOII overtook our wagons. They could have killed us , but evidently thought they hud : i sure thing und pre ferred to sport with us for awhile. I vv.-is driving the wagon in which lay my wife , who was ill. Two Indians , each with a cocked rev olver , seized hold ot the bridles of 1113 * horses and ran along by their side. ' 1jave myself up for lost , bul'tho Indians did not shoot. "Our good fortune saved us. Just at the hoiiu of the canyon was encamped a largo o\ train , embracing a parly of about seventy-live people. They , too , had been attacked by the Indians , but by building : ! fortification hold them at bay. Both our party and the Indians who were attacking us ran upon this train betorc wo knew it and the Indians were afraid to pursue us further. Wo at once joined foices with the other crowd , while the two parties of Indians did the same. They surrounded our cam ] ) , and crawl ing'around the tall grass lircd upon us whenever n man exposed himself , yet they were notsnlHeiciitl > strong to storm our"fortifications. Wo remained in that spot two weeks , when the Indians finally left us , nml wo in ido our way to Califor nia unmolested. The band that attacked us belonged to the Apache tribo. " Mr. Baldwin's lorlune did not come to him by some sudden streak of luck , as his nickname would indicate , but was ac cumulated gradually. When he reached San Francisco be obtained possession of small hotel , but run it for only two weeks. A friend whom lie had known in Hie cast was interested in a government contract for making brick. Mr. Buhl- win obtained a share in the venture , al though ho knew nothing in the world about making brick. "I was dctcimined to learn , " ho said , "for man can do nnv thing , and Ibought a hook on the art of brick-making. I sat up at night und studied it , mustering the details " The brick-making venture prospered , and the ( migrant began to make money , louring about $1,50 ! ) a month on his con tract. 1'Yom that kind of business ho passed to some other , and turned h's mind to almost everything , us ho himself has said. Finally ho drifted to the stock market und began to _ make inonoy rapidly. Mining stocks wore' the kind ho traded in , and a keen eye for business caused liiin to rarely lose. "That is llio way I made my money , " lie Haiti , "for I never had any great stroke iif luck , like some ether men. The Chronicle gave mo my name of'Lucky' for some succcsstul venture Hint I had made iu slocks. I worked hard anil I examined the mines that I bought. I [ jravvlod through tunnels and wont down shafts and labored lor yours like a duvo. " "I have made some big deals , " suitl Mr. Baldwin. "In 1870 I cleared four mil a halt millions at ono time out of Iho Ophir mine at Virginia City , Nov. I had all the dealers on the coast und the California bank against mo , but I out- ivitted thorn and broke the bunk , or rather that was what led to its breuk.

A Texiin Inventor's Device tollovolu * tlonl/.o llio IMotlorn Telephone. Fort Worth ( 'IVxus ) Democrat : Over three weeks ago Fred H. Brown bognti the work of stuthiug out an invention , an idea which had come to him that a telephone anil telegraph Instrument con Id be made which would work with out u batter.v. For Ihreo years he lolled and thoitghl , but seemed no nearer.Iho goat than when he started , until ono night in Fohruur.v last , about 3 o'clock in Ihe morning , lie awoke suddenly from his sloop and found the invention In , hif mind C'old as it was ho jumped out of bed , lighted u lamp und began to work. In a few moments ho had perfected nit instrument and tried It at home. Ho at once .determined lo go to Now York , but before bis departure sold the. right to Kughnnl to Messrs George J. Fi-\nkol ! untlG. 11 Shunter , to Franco and ( ? er- munv ( o \ \ . Iv. Kevo , who a week later accompanied Mr. Brown east , The electricians of Mr. Gould aiul'Mr. Miickay inspected tlio invention cure- fully , and then Iho Western Union Tc.lo- graph company and Bell Telephone com pany sent men to Washington to sou 'if the method could not bo patented , but. Mr Brown had provided against sill con tingencies and had patents covering evor.v thing. The iinineuso valtio of the invention was seen by J. J. Safcloy , a capitalist , who brought if to llio notice of Austin Cm-bin , a millionaire , llo formed u company ! ami ( hough Mr. Safely bought the right of Iho United States for a million dollars , pa.v ing $350,000 lo Mr. Blown in cash , and giving ample secur ity for the payment ot $7.10,000. Mr. Blown icturncd to Fort Woith early this week , disposed of his property here , and on Thursdu.v night lelt with his family for Now York , whole he will ro.sido. When ho left New York Bonanza Mackay was negotiating for Canada , which is held by the Inventor tit $1,000,01)0. ) Mr. Blown uNo brought word thai a wealthy man wanted Knglund and was willing to ' pay a large sum for if , which will induce Messrs. Frankel and Shuttler to go Kast In thirty or sixty da\s to look afler their Intel ests. Mr. Ivoyc , the owner of the right for Germunj and Franco , is now in New York und will leave in a few days for 1C u rope. When Mr. Brown reaches Now York a cable lest will bo made over r > ,80) iniloH of cable , twice the distance across the Atlantic. Instruments for this lest will be comnleted earlv next week. A test was made in Now York not long agoover 80 ! ) milc < of vviro mid the instiumonui worked as ch"ir as a bell. In u low days 10U miles of wire will bo stretehtaj on Long IMiind lor tcsl of all descriptions. As MIDII us possible the firm in Now York \vill gel to vvoik und organi/.o sub- companies in all the .stales , when a revo lution In telphoning and telegraphing ; will snrcl.v lesult. The invention is a magneto telephone and telegraph without buttery a new sjstom ol tiunsmilting the sound of the Iiiimun voice without using batteries of ankind. , . Brown has had a hard Hi no perfecting his invention , being refused aid by those to whom he applied. A shoit 'time ago IM win F. Maslerspn , : v lawyer ot means and well acquainted with prominent eastern telegraph und telephone men , saw Iho instrument loMcd , and at once wrote n director of the Western Union Telegraph comnany setting forth the vvondoiful workings of the invcnntion. Tint Western Union of ficial went to Gen. Charle.s A.Tinker and asked him to issue instructions lo some experienced manager in or near Fort Worth to have the inslriimnnt tested over Iho Western Union lines and report to him sit once. ( i. P. Frankel , manager hero , received the instructions and or dered the Clubnriie manager lo assist him. In the afternoon of Juno 21at 1 o'clock ' Mr. I'runkol , Mr. Brown the invcntor.Mr. Mustci-Mm , J. II. Murphy , Itobert L. Moore , operators , and a newspaper rc- poiterwero in the Fort Worth ollico. Mr. Granger , an electrician , and C. M. Ban der , manager at Cloburno were in the Clchnrno olliee. The butteries o n the line were cut ofT from the wire thirty eight miles long anil the niagiie to trans mitter and receiver attached at both ends ot the lino. For two hours the tpst went on ; all parties talking , and J. H. Murphy by laiiping on Iho diaphrum of the in strument , telegraphing to the Clebiirno operator and icceiving an answer in the same manner. The voicoH of the CIo- bnrne parties were very distinct and n marked feature was Iho absence of all loroign noises interfering with und inci dent to othprHystems. The instrument used was composed oE two ounces of wire and a half pound of Hleol und can bo nnidu for tvvouty-livo con K , The transmitter is simply a h&rsn shoo magnet , either pole being covered with line vviro , coiled carefully. The ur- mature is a disc of steel , against which the voice is throvrn , then transmitted through the magnet to tlio wire. The receiver is similar , but bus a smaller magnet , ll is claimed by the inventor that lie can transmit the voice around the world or across thn Atlantic ocean , there being no limit as far as distance IK concerned , all that is necessary being the increasing ot the si/.e of the magnet Mon Not to bo TniHtcd.
