District Attorney Strode is engaged just now in denying the very violent language of the DEK'S assertion tlmt lie cntwcu into n compact or bargain by which I > r. Uoggo was not lo bo prose cuted provided no would testify against llerohl. This compact , in the form of a letter addressed to H. D. Stearns , thu deputy prosecutor , was signed by Mr. Strode last fall nnd delivered to Captain M Uillingsly , in whoso possession it was until yesterday. When Doggo was ar raigned for trial thin paper was presented to the court , and iu demand was madu on Mr. Strode to nollo the proceedings , to which ho demurred , contending that 11 could only bo used after conviction us tlio basis of an application for a now trjal. The court endorsed Mr. Slrodo's position und the trial wont on. Mr. Strode then stated that ho didn't want to prosecute the ease ) himself , and turned it over to Mr. Stearns , And yet , in the face of this record , the distinguished attorney on Wednesday afternoon denounced the compact us "a d d lie. " When con fronted by the original paper , however , Mr. Strode began to justify the signing of it by saying tlmt by inducing Doggo to return to this country ho succeeded in securing to the creditors of Ilorold some $3. ! > 00 more than they otherwise would have got. This would seem to indicate that Mr. Strode was more inclined to use the court as nn agency for the collection of bad debts than to punish criminals. That Mr. Stearns tried the case with ability and vigor is not denied. That the withdrawn ! of the district attorney handicapped the prose cution is equally true. Mr. Strode had a legal right to promise Dr. Doggo im munity from prosecution if ho saw lit to do ho. lie has weakened his position only by denying the facts and violently ahsailing those who made them public. The 15iu : man will nothing extenuate nor might sot down in malice. His mission is to give the news to an Intelligent pub lic , and ho proposes to do it without fear or favor. Mr. Strode and Mr. Stearns are both estimable gentlemen and good lawyers. That they should have placed nn unwarranted and illegal construction on the UKK'S statement , is a matter of deep regret to all who know the facts in the ca&o. lAWYKIl WCnSTEU'S I1ONI ) KBK. The taking of the testimony in the case of J. U. Webster vs the commissioners of Lancaster county , which has been in pro gress before Referee Munger for sev eral days , was concluded yesterday after noon. Mr. Webster claims that under his contract with the commissioners the county owes him $ M,750 for his services in refunding 50,000 of Midland Pacilic bonds. The defendants insist that Web ster was mistaken as to the obstacles in the way of refunding the bonds , and that ho was of no earthly help or benolit to them in the matter , as the securities were appointed , and could bo called in and re funded without his aid. The present taking of testimony is in connection with n suit in tlio supreme court brought by Webster to compel the commissioners to cither allow or reject his claim.

L"7wm" < /Iflltlmore i Sun. ] After steaming for two days to the cast- ward , the line of deep-sea soundings were taken up again in the South Atlantic Ocean where the Enterprise had left off on her outward passage around llio Capo of Good Hope over three years before. The soundings are taken witli iron balls similar to ninu-hich shot slung with wire. A hole three inches in diameter through the middle of thu ball reduces its weight from ninety-six pounds ( the weight of nine-inch shot ) to sixty-four pounds. Through this hole a brass plunger is in serted several Inches longer than the di ameter of the shot. The plunger is tilled with \vormn cup and a hook , to which Uio shot is fastened to a reel containing 5,000 fathoms of steel wire fastened lo a swivel forming the head of the plunger and led ever a wheel In an iron frame several fuel clear of the ship's side , andover ever another wheel a liltlo below the frame. This leads the wire still further clear of the shi ] ) . The frame on winch the upper wheel hangs has live hollow stanchions in which are springs , to ciich of which a rope IB fastened , roll over roll , as in thu top of a frame , and to which thu wheel hangs so _ as to giyo it a chance to give way several fcut to case the strain which naturally comes on the wire , and would surely break it on a heavy roll of the ship , ns it has done ouco , causing a loss of 1.000 fathoms of wire. When everything is ready the shot H dropped overboard und the wire runs off of the reel at thu rate of 1,000 fathoms in ten minutes. AH BOOH as the plunger reaches thu bottom the hook to which the shot is fastened turns ever by the slack ening ; of the strain , and so reluases it. A tell-tale on tlio axle of the reel tells how many fathoms of wire have run off. A littlu steam engine then winds thu tt'iro with the plunger on the reel , minus thu shot , which forever remains at the bottom tom of thu ocean. The plunger consists of a hollow brass tube ton inches long , in which is inserted a woim with a cup on the lower end. The worm serves for the purpose of twisting the cup into the bed of the ocean and to fetch up a sample from the bottom. The cup is the inven tion of Lieut. Belknap. U. S. N. , and is named after him. He has invented three different cups , but the ono used on board the Enterprise is Belknap Cup No. 3. and thu bust adapted for the purpose. Tno contents of the cup , after the water is drained off , arc put in small bottles and labeled with latitude , longitude and depth. These bottles are packed into boxes , to bo sent to the hydrograph'c ' of fice in Washington. When under steam alone the engines are stopped for sounding , but when un der sail alone steam has to be gotten up and all sail taken in. as the ship has to Jay perfectly still , and to bo under con trol , which is impossible under sail. Soundings wcro taken about every 100 miles , tlio depth usually being 2,000 or 15,000 fathoms. The greatest encounter was 3,800 fathoms , or about four and a half miles. In lattitudo 30 degrees south and longitude CO degrees wostshoal water of about -100 or 500 fathoms was found , revealing the existence of a range of mountains on the bottom of the ocean. These tlio Challenger , an English man- of-war , on a deep-sea sounding expedi tion around the world the years ago , had tailed to discover. That day fifteen soundings wore taken , one every live milc.s , till deep water was found again , The cost of a shot is $4. Lieut. Marix , tlio navigator , had charge of the work , and it required a quartermaster , an as sistant and and a fireman to run the en gine to take a sounding , which altogether lasts about ono hour. Should the shot fall to discharge , us it did once during the cruise , the whole has to be wound up again by hand , which takes three hours for a depth of S.OOO fathoms , as the engine is not powerful enough to wind up wire , shot nnd all.

[ Corres pondence of Tun BKI : . ] Iluro in North west Nebraska , in a beautiful strip of agriculture country , 103 miles west of Valentino and 81 miles cast of Children , lies the beautiful town of Hushvlllc , a town whoso cxistunco dates back to July , 1885 , niul whose population now num bers nearly MO souls , all of the thrifty , energetic and enterprising class which compose the booming town of the west. Monied men from tlio cast , whoso desire had been to settlu in a western town where the rush of life was perceptible , have located hero and built up a town , which now rivals all the neighboring ones , and which is composed of tine , costly buildings , equal to these found in the east. The buildings of Hushvillo number over a hundred , and many more are under construction. Rushvillu is the county scat of Sheridan county , a county which for agricultural purposes is equal to perhaps any in Iho state and superior to thu majority. With wood and water in abundance , ami with land of as line a soil as any in the state , thcrn is no doubt but what Sheridan county will , within thu course of a few years , bo nt the head of all others in thu state for farming and grazing. B jiug a newly organized county , of course the improvements are not so great as those of older settled onus , but these will como with time , and this county will then stand forth as ono without an equal in the northwest or , for that matter in the state of Nebraska. What wo now need here is more of the same class of people as wo already have people who como hero to make this country thuir fu ture homo and who wish to turn the prairie - rio into farms , and who are alive to every interest which will make the country as sume a civilized state. As wo have be fore stated , Uushvillc is the county scat and is composed of us reliable and sub stantial business men as any town need to havo. Men whoso ambition is for the future welfare of the place and prosperi ty ot thu country. Among the most prom inent of the business lirms of the flourish ing young city of Kushvillu is that of Morse & Shepherd , dealers in dry-goods and groeorius , who carry a stock of i5,000 and upwards. They came to this place from Washington county , Nebras ka , and have been located hero nearly a year. Busidus their stock they also own considerable real estate. O. T. Farnum has a fine drug store stocked to the value of § 4,000 , and has erected a building at the cost of $ ' , ' ,000. Ho came hero from Nullgh and has been in the state for nine years. In the drug store , in connection therein , is a line jow- clry store conducted by S. W. Williams , Mosler & Tally , dcalurs in dry goods and general merchandise , has perhaps as line a stocked store as can be found in northwest Nebraska. It was with pleas ure that wo visited tlio above lirm nnd noticed the heavy stocked store. They carry $20,000 worth of merchandise and their large commodious store room cost $ < 5,000 more. They came here from Val entine , but were formerly of Fremont and wore the first lirm to locate in Kushyillfi. Mr. Mosler has lately erected the finest and certainly the most costly residence in Sheridan county , the cost of which ex ceeds $2,000. Hathaway & rruitt , real estate dealers and land locators , nro doinc a good busi ness. They came to this place from Val ley county , and are gentlemen of first class business ability. The above lirm commenced business hero Aug. 1 , 1885. Barnes & Godfrey , ono of thu oldest hardware firms in the city , carry goods to the amount of ? 5,000 and have erected a building at an additional cxpcnso of 51,500. Commencing business in May , 1885 , they still hold the largo business which they first attained. Emmett & McEachron is another drug lirm who established their business hero in April last. They carry $3,000 worth of drugs and fauoy articles and their building was built at a cost of $3,000. , The Parker house has accommodations equal to any west of O.ualm and the trav eling public can do no better than to stop at this hotel while in Hushvillo. Sollnrs & Enderly keep a full supply of general merchandise of ail sorts and are ono of the largest dealers of mer chandise of any in town. They located hero in May nearly a year ago , and were formerly engaged in business ut Ains- worth. Mr. Endorly was also n former resident of St. Louis , Mo , Hushvillo has also several physicians among which is J. C. Davis , n former resident of Aurora , Neb. , and now a HUO- cussful M. D. of this place. The first physician was A. II. llaxlett , who 1ms boon engaged in his practice hero for six months , and is also a very successful one. one.In the legal fraternity wo have W. W. Wood , attornoy-at-law , land und loan of fice , and is the most successful lawyer in the county. Mr , C. Patterson , otherwise "Judge" Patterson , has out his shingle , "attornoy- at-law , and is ono of the most popular men in the northwoat. There are now published hero two newspapers , both being bright newsy sheets , and both up to the standard in oxeulluney for a country newspaper. itOnu is dumocratiu and the other republi can in politics , Himhvillo does not soon expect to rival Omaha , as a metropolis , but she has hopes of maintaining u lively west ern town nnd a business coiiter. Thu in habitants pride themselves on the fortil ity of the Roll of the surrounding coun try , and beautiful lay of the land , nnil expect n largo rush of Immigration dur ing the coming spring und summer to monopolize tliu vacant lands In the sur roundings , of which inuny beautiful , valuable farms can bo made. And now thorn is but little more to bo said cither about the town or its people , but , as aforesaid , with land , which in richness of soil is unexcelled , nnd with the enterprising class of people of which Khcridan county , and Hushvillo In par ticular , Is composed , there Is no doubt in the eyes of any fair-minded journalist or traveler but that Rushvillo'd permanent oy is assured ; und now , with a tearful regret at purling , wo will bid the town and its inhabitants farewell.

The Process oF Painting Panoramas of Great Battles. A Profltnuo iSutcrprlqo For Artists nndr > Proprietors. Knoxville Chronicle : The question is a natural ono ns to how these great panoramas ramas nro made * This is about the pro cess : A hexagonal building of brick is constructed with dimensions generally about 160 feet in diameter and walls say CO feet in length. A conical roof , with sky light and cupola , surmounts the walls. A canvass of cotton cloth is then stretched inside tlio rough walls from ground to roof , but protected from touching the walls by n wooden framework , which is so fitted to the incqualtlcs of tlio build ing as to leave symmetrical inside sur face on which the cloth Is stretched. When complete there is a canvas say 450 yards in lungth by 50 in height , and con taining 2,000 yards of cloth. This cloth is heavily si/.cd with a heavy coating of glue and whiting , and ever this a coating of paint. The surface , thus prepared , is then ready for the artists. The director- in-chief on tlio work of Shiloh , Second Bull Hun , and thu fight between the Mon itor and Merrimac , was Thco. Phlllpot , of Paris. Ho brought with him as co-la borers thirteen skilled artists , each ono of whom was an export. They have boon engaged fourteen months in producing tlio panoramas already named , Their habit is to visit the battle fields selected for a painting , and spending live or six weeks in studying it and sketching it. The field is divided into suctions , and each arlist takes a section. He makes a sketch of the surface , of the ground , the the trees , the fences , the build ing , and the camera of the photographer pays no iiisiguiliccnt part in this preliminary work. These sketches by section are then ready for the canvas. First of all the sky is painted in durable colors , then the land scape , then trees , foliage , buildings , etc. Then comu the artillery wagons , dis mounted cannons , broken muskets , antl all Ihe wreck which a great battle makes of the inanimate machinery of war. Then are painted the war horses in all colors and sinus and altitudes , living tnd dead. Sonic look as large as elephants , and lo the spectator , out of all proportion to their appropriate size , but this is a necessity to lay the foundation for per spective. Last of all , the painters create the human warriors. For this purpose thu artists themselves pose as models for each other in a bayonet charge , in de fense , in retreat , at rust , as wounded , us dyhig , as dead. The models of these sol diers on the canvas wore living bodies , but thu faces on'the'bodies ' ' wore evolved from the artists' inner consciousness , and each face in form hud expression must differ from every other face. To enable all these artists to work on the convas atone ono time , a railway track is constructed upon which are plac'cd movable staging of different heighU , so that nil sections of the work can bo reached. As each artist is unable to judge accurately when standing close to the canvas , of thu proper effect of his lights and shades , the superintendent , standing on the platform where the spec tators will stantf , diructs the processors a little more red in such a spot , a little less brown in another , too much blue here , not enough of green there. Hn fight1 ? his battle on canvas very much as the commandment of the real forces fought his viz. , through ordors'to his subordinates. Aftur thu canvass has been completed , then comes the background the blend ing of real earth , and grass , and trees , and rocks , and straw-stacks , and rail- fences with shadowy ones , and the bu- ginning and ending of each , so artisti cally done that the beholder can hardly distinguish the real from the imaginary linu of separation. All the arrangement of these material objects are just as much the work of artists as the strokes of the brush upon the canvas. The foundatjon of that sleep hill upon which is a living trou and wide-spreading branches , is a platform of hemlock boards with about two inches of earth scattered on top Thu roots of that trou are in a wash-tub un derneath a wooden staging , and the moisture which keeps the tree alive goes into the tub underneath the staging through water-pots. When the foliage at last sucoumbs from lack of sunlight and fresh air , as it will , sprays of analinc dyes are showered upon the leaves to make death look like life. Does art of this kind pa.y the artist ? The reader can judge for himself. The last and far the best work completed by by Mons. Philpot and his staff was the panorama of the second battle of Bull Hun , now on exhibition in Washington. They spent say six weeks in studying and sketching thu bntllo-field , nnd something more than two months in painting the picture , and their , pay amounted to $50- 000 , not in certificates of panorama stock , but in cold cash. Of course tlio amount might have been larger , bul as thu mail m the play said , "It will serve. " GREATEST OF THE BEECHERS. A Brother of tlio Brooklyn Divine Nominated for Mayor.

Yes , wo have nominated Thomas K. , the greatest of the Becchers , for mayor , and 1 guess ho will bo elected. If he is , it will bo something of u novelty in his somewhat cratio political course. Ho has been candidate for different offices at different times on the democratic , green back nnd republican tickets , but has nuvur been elected. He considers it to bo tlio duty of every citizen to accept the duties of any oflico to which ho may bo elected , ami to accept the nomination to any oflico , whether thuro is any chance of his being clcctod or not.

Ho has stopped his beer , because ho thought it disagreed with him , not because of the remarks it caused.

How tollullduri n Homo on Govern ment Ijnml. Correspondence Shasta l-'rco Press : With persons of moderate means who are in search of homes 11 is n serious question where to locate. While preferring the climate of California to that of nny other stnlc.i they find great dilllculty in making correct calculations in regard to the cost of building up a home ami the length of time required to receive an income from their investment. I have hail some excellent opportunities for studying this question in all its phases. There is in this state , as in many others , a great deal of good government land unoccupied which may bo had by homestead pre emption. In the nortnnrn part of the state and in the foothills generally , the land is timbered nnd requires clearing , which will cost from slo to 550 per acre , cither in money or labor. One year's time will bo necessary for the preparation of Irom ton to twenty acres ready for the plow. The seconds-ear the soil will not produce on account of its wild nature , und it will bo the third year before any returns can be received. From the time of settlement until the farm does pay it is all out-go , nnd the amount depends upon the size of the family. 1 would esti mate the amount rcnuNito to takn a quarter section of government land and improve it at not less than $3,000 cash. The person who has no means , or but a very limited amount , may build up a homo on government land by six or eight years of palienl la bor , and by working for his neighbor when he can and working on his farm when lie cannot gctwork out. Improved farm land can bo bought near the rail road at from S"0 to § 50 per acre. Now if the homeseoker would be content with a few acres he could on such land receive an income from the start , and by degrees get a vineyard or orchard planted , which would be m full bearing in four years. Let us suppose that the average yield of a fruit tree is 250 pounds , and for this you receive one-lifth of n cent per pound in the orchard ; Uio result would bo fifty cents per tree , and one hundred trees per aero would be $50. . Forty acres of land cultivated in this way would bring a yearly return of $2,000 , and bo a sure and stPiidy income. Fruit-raising and vine-growing must and will be the prin cipal industries in this fctate , and the home-seeker should bear this in mind and also the fact that it requires thrco to live years to receive an income from that industry. A system of gen crnl culture to u certain extent may be followed on these lands. Small grains , vegetables , etc. , can be grown for homo use , but not for profit. On the prairie lands of llio west , as good a crop of wheat or corn niav bo grown the second year on now lauds as in anv subsequent one , and n small yearly revenue bo received as long as the land is well cultivated. Hero wo must wait longer lor our lirst returns , but when they do como they are enough larger and surer to more than cast the balance in our favor. PILES ! PILRSt PILES A sure cure for Blind.
