XodikorJ" was the Blaming headline to a circular that Lgrcetod every member-elect to Iho legis- Erntitro two years t\KO. \ The circular con.- [ ained a portrait of the noted place ftcekcr lid a biographical sketch that traced the Kinarknbic career of this remarkable rman from the paleozoic ape to the presrnt liino. The scheme of an illustrated biog raphy ovrdently worked satisfactorily , for the Zcdikor family came down to that session an < t received about all they asked and about till there was in It anyway. The present session Xcdikcr falls into his loiter writing again , but evidently thinking that every man , woman and child knows now thu answer to the startling question propounded two years ago , the biographical section is abolished. The late chief cleric heralds lorth the har rowing news Hint his business is such that ho CMIUOI take the * position the present session , although it comes very direct that ho expresses grave doubts in some of his letters as to the possibility of the session making any progress without him ami he has conde scended to announce that ho will conio down the first of the week and "help organize. " This bit of news will afford it great deal of relief lo ngood many , for it can now bo counted with a reasonable degree of certainty that the legislature will be organized. To be sure there is the danger that the grim reaper with his sickle keen may enter Nebraska in the growing harvest of great men even between this and llio coming week , and of course llio lirst to fall would bo "who Is Jamus L' . Zediker , " depriving the commonwealth of the help necessary to organize and rim things. Hut the Zedikcrs are not without a mis sion this year , and it IH annouccd that while tlio patriarchal head cannot answer trio Macedonian cry for himself , he has condescended to holi > the law makers organize and get them on their feet for work , and has kindly prepared a slate of the clerical ollh'ca for the house that will bo forthcoming. This includes for chief clerk thn publisher of the paper in his local town , with W. II. Shahen for assistant clerk , and a gentleman named IJarbiir for second assistant , partners and assistants of the shite builder himselt , Evidently if the members coul.l be con vinced , us they ought to be , that no onu but a Zctlikur could do the work and no ono could Kclcct in his fail ure these to do the work but himself , this precious plan would succeed and in the event of a slate of this kind not only the family cntiro but ovcry citizen of the itato fortunate enough to have his mime * nienco with the omega of the alpha- w V.vould be accorded a gracious fat posi- Wi > . Until au interferencn of this anti quated place seeker is through long prac tice an every day occurrence , behold its r counterpart In the personage of JJrad . { slaughter , who is now upon tlio ground iiacing uu and down the corridors of the nolel watching for the coming of these who will nuver make him chief clerk. These remains have u very llfe-liko look for they have been well embalmed , nnd all the efforts of the corporations to have ono of their kind to take charge of tlio legislature will not electrify Gail Slaugh ter into life again. A im-mbcr of tlio pre vious session of the Icgislrturc Who witnessed Mr. F. 11 , Wil son through the session during the work of the assistant dork and a lariro part of Iho chief's work , remarked yes terday that at that session no ditlicully was found ; u selecting a cleric who was a better ollicial than all the SlaughtorH and Zetlikers , and ho expressed the bellof that equally us competent clerks could yet be obtained from the half million or more inhabitants of the stale. If it wcro of enough interest this pro- lilic subject could bo extended at greater length and a microscopic view could be taken of a nartr by the name of Secley , who has watched with a hungry longing the secretary of thu Fcnate since the days even before nominations were made. Hut the subject would bo as threadbare as this politician. Kot every dead issue re ceives Ihe buriitl it deserves , and life is short forobiluarics. rOI.ITICAI. AHMVALS.

Twenty Thousand Men Atlanta Constitution : In January , 1PGI , while the confederate troons wore in winter quarters at Dallon , there came ti big snow storm and 20,000 soldiers went into a regularly organized snow-balling. On one side of a branch was the parade-ground of tho'Gcorgia and South Carolina troops , and back of thai Ihc quarters. On the opposit side of the branch was the parado-ground of the Tenncssiioans and back of their parade- ground were Ihoir quarters. The ground was frozen to n depth of five foot , the snow was a foot deep and no indication of molting. A day was appointed for the snow battle. The Tennesseo.ans marched out and formed a line of battle , their drums beat ing , bugles blowing , colors lying , and olliccrs mounted. Kvery soldier had a knapsack full of snow-balls. The Georgians formed and prepared to make the attack by crossing tlm branch. There were 10.000 men on each side , ami the scene was very imposing. As soon as ' .he Gcorgam crossed the branch they met a trritic fusillade from the Tennesseeaus , who were al home in the snow. The commander of the Tcnnessecant.n handsome fcllow named. Gordon , who was troni Franklin , Tenn. , was captured , but a bold dash was inado by the Ton- ucsscoans , and he was rescued. The Georgians and South Cnroliuans being unused to the snow , were at great disadvantage , and wcro forced back across the branch. As the Tcnncssccans crossed the branch they wet their snow- bulls , and the next volley fired at the Georgia and Carolina boys was terrible in its educl. Pressing on , the Tcnncsseeans captured the quartern nnd prqcceilcd to loot the whole shebang , carrying off ra tions , tobacco , pipes , and everything else that did not bolonjj to the government. This snowballing , in which 20,000 men took part , was no doubt the biggest thing of the kind that ever occurred in Georgia and bigger than will ever occur again- Tlio II mini ii Koot nnil The foot should bo as long as the chief bone of the forearm ; that is , from the small head of the bone to be scon ut the wrist to the uolut of the elbow should bo the length of the foot.

Success Dur ing Political Campaigns , The American ancestry of Mrs. Logan goes back to a sturdy Irish sctllcr of Vir ginia and a French pioneer of Louisiana , llergrcat-crandfathcr , Robert Cunning ham , of Virginia , was a soldier of Iho war for independence , after which ho re moved to Tennessee , thence lo Alabama , and Ihcnce to Illinois , when still a tcrri- lory , nnd Ihcrc inanutiiilted his slaves. Her father , Captain John M. Cunning ham , served in the Black Hawk war. lib was a member of the legislature of Illi nois in 1815 and ' 40 , and served in the .Mexican war. Ho mother was Miss Klixabetb Fontaine , of distinguished family of thai name which had arrived in Louisiana during the Trench occupancy of that country and had thcnco journeyed UP the Missis sippi river nud settled in Missouri , It was hero that John Cunningham met his li 'ido , and 51 wns near the present village of Sturgeon , then known as Petersburg , in Booiio county , Mo. , that Mary Sim- morson Logan was born , August IB , 1333. When she was one year old her parents removed to Illinois and settled ntMariou , in Williamson county. Il was here that llio mother and her eldest daughter , then but nine years old , shared lie ! dangers of n fronlier home and thu cares and solici tude of a growing family , when the hus band and father went forth to light Ihe battles of his country upon the parched plains of Mexico and braved the trials and privations of a miner's lifo in the bi- erras of California. This courageous and dutiful girl re lieved her mother , who was not strotu : , of most of Iho household work , and still found time to attend the primitive school of the neighborhood and tram herself in useful needlework. The father felt u just pride in his oklesl daughter. The assistance which she had rendered her mother during his long ab sence in Mexico and California had oven more closely endeared her to his heart , and her love of sudy had prompted him lo give part of his income lo her proper cdncalion. Accordingly , in 1851) ) , the daughter was sent to the Convcnl of .St. Vincenl , near Morganlielit , ICy.a branch of tlio Nazareth Institute , the oldest in stitution of the kind in Ihe country. This was Ihe nearest educational establish ment of Bufiicient advancement in the higher branches of knowledge. The voting lady was reared a Baptist ; after her marriage the joined the Methodist church , the church of the Logan family. Having graduated in 18-3 , Miss Cuu- niiiKham returned to her father's ' homo at Shuwncctown. In her younger days , when a mere child , she had aided her father as sherifl" of the county , clerk of the court , and register of the land ofiice in preparing her papers. Those were not the days of blank forms for legal documents. Accordingly , the father depended upon the daughter to make copies for him. While Mary Cunning ham was thus aiding her father in his oflieial duties John Logan was prosecut ing attorney of the district. Ho had known Father Cunningham and was Jiis warm friend. He had known the daugh ter as a , little girl. Jn 1855 they were married , and at once went to the young attorney's home at Beiiton , Franklin county. The bride was sixteen years of age , but her young lifo had already been ono of usefulness to her mother and of great service to her father. The young wife immediately installed herself in the place of companion and helpmeet to her husband. [ .Sho accom panied him on all his professional jour neys , an undertaking in these days of wilderness and no roads often requiring great endurance and privation , in 18rG ; the devoted wife saw her husband tri umphantly elected a member of the legis lature , and in tlio famous Douglas and Lincoln .senatorial contest ho was elected as a Douglas democrat to congress. In all thcso hard fought political campaigns the noble wlfo wont with her husband , assistitiK in much of his work of corre spondence and copying , nnd fre quently receiving his friends and confer ring with them on the details of the cam paign. When Mr. Losran wont to con gress zi a representative Mrs. Logan wont with him , She remained with him in Washington until the outbreak of the rebellion , when he resigned his seat in congress to return to Illinois to go into the service of his country. The war having commenced and Mr. Logan having raised and been assigned to this command of the Thirty-first Illi nois volunteers. Mrs. Logan , with her only living child , then throe years old ( now Mrs. Tucker ) , returned tn her father's homo at Marion. The Illinois troops having been ordered into camp at Carlo Mrs. Logan joined her husband there. During the batllo of Belmonl Mrs. Logan hoard the coming of the guns across the turgid flood of the Mississippi. In the midst of painful and anxious sus- pouso for the safety of her own , of whom she felt that he was in the thickest of the contlk'l , she gave a helping hand to the care of the wounded and sutlbring soldiers as they wcro brought back irom that bloody field. When the army entered upon the Tennessee - nessoo river campaign , Mr. Logan again returned to her homo , but was soon shocked by the news from Donolson that her husband liad fallen at the head of his charging column dangerously Avounded. She hastened to the scene to care for her husband , For days it was a struggle be tween lifn and death. At Memphis , in the winter of 18C2-8y , Mrs. Logan again joined her husband , now a general , ami remained there- until ho led his troops in the campaign which ended in the surrender of Vicksburg. During this time and until the end of the war Mrs. Logan remained at Carbondale - dale , wlwre out of the general's ' salary Ihoy had bought im unpretentious home. I'uon his return Irom the war General Logan was nominated by acclamation for congressmun-ut-hirge. After his election Mrs. Logan returned to Wash ington and has boon one of the promi nent figures in Washington society ever since. MRS. LOGAN'S CHILDHOOD , Anoltier Account HoiFather's ISurly Sti'UKiilL's in MisHoiiri anil Illinois. Fifteen miles north of Columbia , Mo. , upon the roulli bank of Silver's Fork Crock , nearly ( ifty years ago stood a small village of not over lifty inhabitants , bearing the title of "Petersburg , " Long years a ; o it passed from oxUtonco and onlyn few biles of brick remain to murk where oncoit stood. But brief and hum ble as wiia its history it was the birth place of no Jess a person than Mrs , Gon. John A , Logan , whoso fame rests not loss upon the fact of being the wifu of u did- liiiguishod candidate for the presidency than upon her own remarkable talents , so often displayed In the political arena in aid of her ambitious husband. A cor respondent ot the Kansas City Times re cently gathered BO mo interesting facts in regard to Mrs. Logan from Sirs , C'yrene II.TWurnock , IIT mother.s sister , a highly intelligent Judy , now a resident of Stur geon. About 1833 General Gcorgo P. Derris , a merchant of Marion , III. , who after wards became somewhat noted as a citizen of St. Louis and whose wife was murdered in that city a few years ago br her prandson , Russell Brown , removed to Missouri , first stopping ai IlunlsriHo , anil afterward locating at Petersburg. He. brought with him n young man named John M. Cunningham us n clerk and opened n dry goods store. Cunningham was twenty-two years old , an Intelligent , rxcmplary young man , nnd quite atten tive to business. Ho boarded for nearly two years with Undo Hibcrt Brinlc , now a resident of Sturgeon , mid who then owned n mill in Petersburg. Mr. Brink , who is now eighty six years old , remem bered him well and speaks of him in the highest terms. While Cunningham was clerking in the store ho made the ac quaintance of Miss Kllzabeth Fontaine , daughter of Joseph Fontaine , who lived about n mile from the "burg1 where Uncle Whit Nee now lives , ami the rosull was Ihoy wcro married in about ISM. They soon went to housekeeping. Their residence , Mrs. Warnock savs , she remembers as distinctly m if it were yesterday. It was a hcwcd-log house , one story high , with ono room in front nnd an L room , with a passage between. In this humble abode was born Mary S , Cunningham , now Mrs. Logan. Mr. Cunningham , in partnership with Mr. Schooler , bought out General Derris and continued for awhile , but the financial crisis of 1837 bore heavily upon them and they sold out , nnd Cunningham and nU family , consisting of his wife , Mary S. , and llilbort , returned lo Marion , 111. , and rc-i'inbarked in the dry goods btisl- nois. Ho had sold goods for several years In Marion , bill when Ihe war with Mexico broke out ho was made captain of n company nf Illinois volunteers and marched into Mexico. Alter his return from the war ho held several importanl olliccs in his county. Mary was now up in HIP teens , and duy ing the last few years had boon attending school In Marion , but bi'ing posscss-cd of more than an ordinary mind her parents wcro determined to solid her where her mental powers should bo fully developed , and accordingly arrangements were made , and Mary was sent to the convent at St. Vlui'ont , Ky. , at which Institution she received a thorough education. After leaving St. Vincent She returned to Marion. There was in that place at this time a young attorney by the name of John A. Logan , who had but recently lo cated there. Captain Cunningliau biiing a popular politician the two wore moro or less thrown together , and how it came about is not staled , but at any rate the young attorney and the captain's daughter , Miss Mary S. , wcro in due coui'io of time married.

The people of this part of the state have always felt a personal interest in the prosperity of Omaha and have been pleased by Iho rapid .growth of the me tropolis of Nebraska , rcali/.ing the value to them of a largo market and supply point at a convenient distance. The BIE : has a largo number of subscribers here and through its ample columns we are kept aemiaintcd with the doings of Nebraska's big city , Custor county is now experiencing a change from the pioneer stage to that of a well populated and well cultivated county. The crops of the past season have been remarkably fine , which is say ing a good deal , as Custcr county has always good crops. The improvements now being made here are of a substantial character and indicate the prosperity of this portion of the "crcat American desert,1' which has in such n tVw years been made to bloom as a garden. Many of the lirst settlers hero , who were able to secnro more than quo-quarter section of land under Uncle Sam's liberal land laws , are disposing of one of the quarters in order to obtain money with which to place improvements on the land they have loft. This makes a splendid opening for parlies who de sire to come west and purchase cheap farms , partially improved , and Ihus avoid the tiaidship.s of homestead life at the distance from railroads it is now nec essary to go in order to got good govern ment land.

One of these says that Philip , tlio father of Alexander , niecling wilh great diili- cullies In Ihe sicgo of By/.untium , sol the workmen to undermine the walls , but a crescent moon discovered the design , which miscarried ; consequently the By x.anlincs erected a statue to Diana , and the crescent moon became the symbol of the state.

After a visit to an enterprising agcnl of Bacchus , who has already located near llio lown site , and sccintr that the propelling power wcro supplied with the necessary elements for steam firo-wuter , I aqam mounted the BKK\S special train , and jiko the course of empire westward took my course. Alter a ride of miles through a magnificent farming country , and notic ing the number of hue farm houses along the line , and llio plentiful crops' of grain nnd children , 1 wished that niy single blessedness might end. and with a quar ter of section of land in this beautiful section of Gage county , I , lee , might raise corn , cane and children , and be liappy. Sleek and fat herds of cattle wcro plentiful and recalled visions of future - turo roasts , steaks , etc. , until the man ner began to act with memory , and we whistled down breaks as Ihc special ran into Hie busy and ncal lilllo burg of Lcwiston , whore , after enjoying a com fortable meal and smoking a pipe of Lone Jack , the vision of a short time before - fore of roasts , steaks , etc. , gave way to a painful reality that I had eaten too much , and exercise was demanded , so 1 IOOK tlio place of one of Iho power for a distance of two miles , after which I was very much jilcased lo give way and sit down on the reclining chair , which , although it was not upholstered in plush , had at some stage of its lifo served as a soap box , and seemed a little shaky in its new position , answered the purpose as well as could be expected. After stopping for water , which was poured into the boiler with a tin cup , we again started out and in a short time Be atrice was sighted. The city looked beautiful as the sun gilded the picture. In live minutes wo had reached THE CITV or CHUKCIUS : , and after scohiir the doors on our Pull man wore secured , I left for the Handall house , where 1 met Mr. J. H. Bcadson , assistant master mechanic , who gave me several pointers which I will use In an other article. Supper over I strolled around the city and was surprised to see the magnificent improvements made dur ing the past year. The water works takes first place on the list and have boon a splendid addition to the city , llio new blocks , single buildings , churches and private residences would occupy too long a description and many of them have already boon mentioned in the BEE'S col umns. The Beatrice people arc deter mined thai their city shall not lose her grip on the third place in the state as a city. Hcmem'joring I had to make an early start in the morning 1 retired to dream o'f a confused mass of railwuj's , cattle , corn , children and farms. 1 was uwakeuod at 5 o'clock ' and thirty minutes later was oneo more speeding uloug , Al two miles from Bcatrico wo crossed the now bridge which has just been completed. The bridge is 450 long and is constructed of iron. Wo made a short stop to inspect the structure. At six o'clock wo stopped al Kllis. seven miles from Beatrice , where the foundation for the depot Is already in , besides an elevator an corn cribs are erected. As no ono was In the vicinity I was compelled , to leave this place with out any information , but no doubt some enterprising business man will soon s.ond n letter informing you of the great natural iidvuntuges , etc. TIIH NEXT TOWN on the line is llurbine , where several foundations are in but as the details nro too meagre. J will pass on to Jansen and think in describing the place , I am only picturing the town as it Is without any coloring. This bustling and lively little place will at no distant daymako Fairbury look to her laurels for Its trade , The location of the place guarantees for the merchants , who cast their Jots in this new oldorado , a sure return for their money , as it is located in thu centre of a very thickly settled district , almost every quarter section of land has u tenant , a urcat many of the residents being ctithur Gorman or Itusshui Mcnnonitos , who have neat farm and out-lionsos urrcclcd , sli'ok and fat cattle nnd horses nro well protected from the storm by good and comfortable stables. Good water is easily obtained , and the locution allows perfect drainage. A bank , hotel , eleva- lor. general store , church , school House and depot are all erected and many moro now are boiiig erected , town lots are beIng - Ing rnnidlr sold with prices ranging from 33 to $ 150 , The distance from Ftiirbnry to Junscn is eight miles , Beatrice eighteen , Kt , Joseph seventy- live , so the scope is not confined nor are the above cities or surrounding towns close enough to retard the growth of this placo. Good openings are o fie red for thu merchants , mechanics , professional men or artisans. The town is run on strict prohibition principle * . A clmisri in the deed which nullities the sale of liquor is sold. A post olllce will bo es tablished a.id with the opening of spring and song of the birds. JANSCN WIU. 110OM.
