Judging from our Nevada exchanges the political cauldron in the Sagebrush State has already reached the boiling point. ACCORDING to the New York Herald, United States bonds have been within the last few years much more under the manipulation of thieves and forgers than either the government or the holders hav imagined. Frodxt the Salt Lake Zribune we glean that Mr. Willet Pottenger, who atno very remote period distinguish ed himeelf by holding a seat in the Nebraska Legislature, to which he was assigned by fraudulent returns, is now very comfortably located among the Mormons as Register of the Salt Lake City Land office. ——— BeECHER unfolds & very touching tale about the way he came to sign the humble pie letter, in which he prostrates himself before Tilton as before his God. It is to be regreted, however, that fhis explanation will not convince a candid mind that Beecher would have put his auto- graph to such an important docu- ment without reading its contents. Our of the sixty-three organized counties in Nebraska, twenty coun- ties were represented at the great Btate Convention, presided over b the industrious chief Ko-op, Harri- son Johnson. In reality there were, howewer, only delegates from five counties ‘present, the other fifteen counties were represented by pre- tended proxy holders, whose chief occupation is bumming sround the Lincoln ber-rooms. So much for the wonderful success of the new departure. THE great Austip riot provesafter all to have been a very insignificant affair. The entire affair seems to have been grossly exaggerated. One Degro was killed, and no white man even wounded. Only one store was sacked by negroes during the time they had possession of the | place. Seventeen of the leaders, or rather more boisterous ones, as they seemead to have no leaders, were ar- | vicious and demoralizing. 1 SENATOR HITCHCOCK'S BEST JUDG ; WENT. Senator Hitcheock will no doubt | give the Omaha postoffice such at- tention as affairs in connection with | its conduct in the past or future | shall in his best judgment warrant, but he should not, and we may say | with certainty that he will not, be governed by the ravingsof the BEE, whose ill feeling and prejudice | against those in authority about the | | postoffice in this city the fact that he was chastised with- in the walls of that establishment & | few years ago.—Omaha Union. * Since the Union boldly assumes ws out of the championship for the posial cor- | ruptionists, we have a right to take } it for granted that its utterancesare | | dictated by Postmaster Yost, and | possibly by Senator Hitcheock. We | are therefore pleased to know that | Senator Hitcheock “will give the Omaha postoffice such attention as affairs in connection With its con- duct in the past or future shall in | his best judgment” warrant. We cannot attempt to analize the | Senator’s judgement in connection | with future actions, but if the past history of the Omaha postal man- | agement is any criterion, we regret to declare that his best judgment is decidedly defective and unreliable. It is within the memory of nearly every citizen of Omaha, that Sena- tor Hitchcock was ashamed to ac- knowledge the appointment of Yost, and vainly sought to saddle | the responsibility for this odious act upon President Grant. Not only did he publicly deny any agency in this matter, but he vir- tually pledged his honor | to the indignant citizens of Omaha | through the Republican that Yost’s | appointment would be merely tem- | polary. Two years have past aud | still the Sanator has not fulfilled his | pledge. So much for his best judg- | ment in the past. And now let us look at the present. We are in- | formed that Senator Hitchcock will not in the least be governed by the ravings of the editor of the BEE, | whose prejudices arise from the fact | that he was once chastised within | the walls of the Omaha Postoffice. Now we admit that the coniuct of the present postmaster upon that memorable occasion should have been & bar to his ap- | pointment. We deny, however, that ill-feeling or prejudice have | actuated the BEE in its recent de- nunciation of Postmaster Yost's official corruption, If in Senator Hitcheock’s best judgment an offi- | cer charged with and convicted of collusion with lottery gamblers, bribery, dishonest returns of pay- rolls and other disgraceful irregulari- ties deserves to be be sustained by him the BEE has a right to pro- nounce that judgemennt as very Does Mr. Yost pretend that the BeE seduced him into all the cor- rupt and dishonest acts which have been proved against him under oath by reliable witnesses? Does Sena- tor Hitcheock’s best judgmentexon- orate the officer whe acknowledges the acceptance of silyer-plate from 8 lottery gambler with whom he connived,by permitting him to can- cel his own mail? Is it Senator Hitcheock best judg- ment that the Republican can afford to permit puhlic thieves to go unrebuked? In his attempts to imitate the ostrich, the Senator evi- dently forgets that there isa popular judgment, before whose bar no sub- terfuges or whitewashing will be available. The BEE can well afford to let Postmaster Yost remain in office. He has done more to build it up than any other outside agency. ‘We shall, however, record our solemn protest against the judgment of a Senator who insists upon sac- rificing not only his own honor and reputation, but also the success of the Republican party, for the sake of gratifying the greedy ambition of an unworthy personal friend. SECRETARY BRISTOW deserves great credit for his energetic and systematic efforts to purify the pub- lic service. His latest order con- templates a wholesome reform in compliance with an act passed by Congress at its lust session. Hereto- fore officers or agents of the Govern- ment, when traveling on Govern- ment business, were in the habit of charging ten cents per mile each way for traveling expenses, besides their hotel bills £nd incidental ex- penses, which made traveling a very profitable business. UNDER the new instructions of Secretary Bristow persons traveling for the Government will only be allowed bills for actual expenses, covering amounts paid for railroad or steamboat fare, and actual board at hotels at the rate not to exceed five dollars yer day. This order will cause a very material saving to the government. ‘WoNDER what Is the matter with the Omaha Union? It don’t seem to be “whooping” for the grangers quite as much as it did.—Nemaha Journal. ‘We guess the ringers have got it by the throat. Policy “you know” Mr. Journal, will cause” the weak- minded to do things that look fear- fully small-— Ashland Times. Our rural contemporaries are evi- !denrly notaware that the Union has ‘passed under the control of Ko-op bummers and postal corruptionists. ‘Workingmen and farmers in these parts have long since become con~ vinced that the concern is the ready tool of unybody that is willing to subsidize it. CHARLES REYNOLDS, one of Gen. Custar’s scouts, has just reached Bioux City from the Black Hills. Reynolds feft Custar during the night of the 2d inst., on the south fork of the Cneyenne, the main camp being fifty miles above—the General and five companies having accompanied the scout that far on | his perilous journey. He confirms the reported discoveries of rich gold and silver mine deposits in the Black Hills country, but states that sofar no thorough researches had been made by the expedition ; the rested and confined in jail to await only gold obtained being washed out of surface dirt. | “left on time.” OUR OWN. 1£ 1 had known in the morning How wearily all the day The words unkind would trouble m miad That I said when you went awy, T bad been more carefu, darlis Nor given you needless pain; Bat we vex our own with look and toue We might never take back again.

A wealthy English widow, whose passion is small teet, offers to marry the man who is over five feet tall, and can wear her shoe—number threes. «Artaxerses,” said Mr. Marrow- fat; solemnly, “never get married, my bay. Little do you know what an awful responsibility it is to up- holster a wife.” An Towa widower last week tele- graphed an offer of mawmiage to Susan B. Anthony. She telegiaph- ed back that she was on the retired list. 1t was “darling Gweorge” when a bridal couple left Omaha ; it was “dear George” at Chicago; at De- troit it was “George,” and when they reached Niagara Falls it was “Say, you.” The Supreme Court of New York has just made a highly important decree, nullifying a marriage on the ground that the woman had been unchaste before her marriage, the fruits of guilt appearing shortly af- ter. It is a solemn thing—a very; sol- emn thing to get married—to ' feel that henceforth through life the mild eyed girl at your side is to be the only female in the wide world duly licensed to throw flat-irons at your head. A gentleman in Florida is desir- ous of obtaining & wife, who must have “a cow, a good feather bed, comfortable linens and $500 in gen- uine greenbacks. She must also un- derstand the whole art of tending children, and must have been through’ the small-pox and mea- sles.”” A young lady at Norristown put a piece of wedding cake under her | pillow, and went to bed with the happy belief that she would dream of secing her future husband. That evening, however, she had eaten two plates of ice cream, about a pint of strawberries, several sweet cakes, and two large pickles, and she now says she would rather re- main single all her life than marry the man she saw in her dream. The lady_telegraph-operator at Moawequs, T1L., telegraped that the passenger train due there at9:15 had After performing this duty, sheimmediately hoarded the cars and_eloped with a nice young man wha parted his_hair in the middle and wore a pink mous- tache. They rode gayly to Pana, where the nuptial knot was drawn in alovely bow-knot,and the happy pair retarned on the next train. The uewlymade bride alighted from the cars and telegraphed the up- train “gone,” thus making a bridal tour without missing a call. Newly marricd people who start out in life at housekeeping make a great mistake in not using their—or rather the bride’s—wedding pres- ents. They are not usually given to be hid away, but to be used, and may be to remind the owner of the giver. There was poor little Mrs. Dumpkins. She went to house- keeping in Jersey, and, fearing masked robbers and other things, left her pretty presents at her mother'sin-law’s in town. Robbers broke through and stole, snd now the young couple sing sad- ly in chorus, “ve mourn our loss."” The mother-in-law, it should be stated, was left untouched. The sacrifices of Hymen are oc- casionally celebrated under extraor- dinary circumstances. Two years age, in California, one Joel Mans field fired a pistol at Miss Mary Hein with woman-slaughterous intent, and then with suicidal purpose did the same for himself. Recovering, he was rhree times tried for the at- tempted murder of Miss Mary, and three times did the conscientious and sympathetic jurors, after the or- dinary manner of suck: fanctionaries in such cases fail to agree. So the court told Joel Mansfield to go about his business. A short timesince he made it part of hi« business to see Mary again. And this time he had his heart in his hand (so to speak) instead of his pistol. This mild manner of addressing her mollified Miss Moll, and, with or without the usual blushes, she consented to be- come, and she is now, Mrs. Joel Mansfield. All's well that ends well, but wonderfully queer the end- ing sometimes is, EDUCATIONAL NOTES. Divers wealthy citizens of Califor- nia have very generously formed an association to loan money to poor and deserving students desiring to 2o through the university course, The Regents of the University of Minnesota, desire that the next meeting of the National Teachers' Association be held in their State, and have placed the university buildings at the disposal of the As- sociation for such purpose. A Mr. Douglon, of New York, is reported to have founded in_Lafa- yette College, at Easton, Pa., a chair of _“Christian Latin and Greek,” objecting to the teaching of the’ classics from the works of such heathens as Homer and Vir- gil. Miss Gilbert, a blind lady, opened a blind school in a Holborw cellar, for which she paid eighteen pence a week. She has now 1,000 pupils, whom she has taught' to support themselves. They maintain the in- stitutior: that gives them a home,an education, and an occupation. The people of Boulder, Colorado, have raired the $15,000 required by the law, establishing the Territorial University at that place, and the trustees have made a formal de- mand upon the auditor for the legis- lative appropriation, to aid in the construction of a suiitable building for University purposes. It is proposed to raise among the Baptists of Pennsylvania $500,000 for educational purposes, $300,000 of which is to be for Lewisburg Uni- versity, and $200,000 for academies in the State. An effort_is to be made to raise $75,000 for Peddle In- stitute, at Hightown, New Jersey. ‘At a Tennessee institute meeting ;)ne of t‘ll:xe mbeembem advised that in nstructing beginners in geograph; the teacher should discard books t{ first and take an imaginative voy- [1 e to the various parts of the world, e Tbins Greryiske the phyatsall] features of the earth in’the route, the | character of the people, productions | of sol, ete. Penn, while Goveraor of Pensyl- vania, established by charter a Board of fiftecn Quakers to have charge of schools in the town and county of Philadelphis. Since that | time the board has organized sev- eral schools which, once excellent, gradually deteriorated until they are now, with one exception, ail closed. With the increasingly large income thus left at the disposal of the bowrd, it was decided some time since to establish one school of high grade, and equip it with all the ap- pliances of modern education. Mr. M. Jones, a Maine teacher and a graduate from Harvard, will be at its bead. Mr. Bernardini, Director of the High School at Rouen, writes to the New Orleans Picayune, that Rouen has just founded, for commeicial and ‘industrial instruction, several establiskments, with the best possi- ble conditions for insuring success, and open both to foreigners and Frenchmen—a high school of com- merce, & high school of industry, a school for weaving and spinning, a Iaboratory of industrial chemistry, dyeing, printing of tissues, lectures on machinery, &e. The schools are under the patronage of the Cham- ber of Commerce; their programmes bave been elaborated by highly competent meu, both with respect to theory and practice. A prepara- tory class has just been added to the commercial school, in which for- eigners have opportunity for thor- ough study of the French language. Itis reported that in Germany | the largely increasing number of | short-sighted persons is believed to have resulted from the imperfect modes of teaching and learning. In England a similar increase has been observed in all schools, not ex- cepting those of the highest class and universities. Tt has been as- certained in Germany, a London scientist declares, that “ short sight is in & large measure due to the un- natural positions which children are compelled to assume by reasan of the awkward coustruction of the desks and seats, and to the imper- fect lighting of the school buildings. The same result, attributed to the same causes, appears in Sweden, | Denmark, Switzerland, and Amer- ica, and in all these countries steps nreluuw being taken to remedy the evil.” IMPIETIES, An Albany Methodist girl forces piety upon her lover hy making him say the Lord’s Prayer every time he kisses her. ‘Who is the straightest man men- tioned in the Bible? Joseph, be- cause Pharaoh made & ruler of him. And that's why he remained sta. tionery in Egypt. A Salt Lake lady being asked what ticket she was going to vote at the late election, replied that she in- tended to vote for “God and His people.”” If the Almighty is yun- ning for any office out there, they had hjs name spelt wrong on the tickets. A curious baptismal ceremony was lately performed in Dubois Ca,, Tllinois. ~ A child was baptized, and, after the sprinkling, the pecple ad- Journed to the residence of the pa- rents, where beer and other drinka- bles were provided, and the party all became beastly drunk. A jollK fight and riot ensued, in whicl twenty-four persons participated, making the air blug with profanity. At Limbourg, near Verviers, Bel- gium, M. David, an honest man and a good citizen, died and was buried as he desired, civilly—that is, with- out a priest. Next Sunday the priest indulged in severe observations from the pulpit and the subject became a painful scandal. On still another Bunday the priest repeated his ex- travagant language, and when the serviges were over the sonof the de- ceased horsewhipped his reverence in the public street amid general ap- plause, At a recent prayer meeting of col- ored people at Erie, the decency ard good order of the meeting being disturbed by & negro named Brown, whose prayers in public were only incoberent rayvings, the pastor in- quired; “What fool niggar's dat prayin’ down dar nea’ dedo’?’ A dozen people replied with one voice: «It am Brudder Brown, sah.’’ «Denn,” replied the pastor, “Brud- der Brown subside, and let some one pray dat’s better 'quainted wid de Lord.” A one-legged soldier, a Mormon, rec ntly asked Brigham Young to supply by a miracle, the missing Lmb; tut the apostle, not to be caught, made thisreply: I canin instant produce & new leg in the plaice of the old one but then you see, i I do, it will cause great in- convenience to you in heaven; for after your exaitation ta glory the original leg will come back to the spiritual body; mine also being of diy] ¢ organ, becomes immortal, and, in this case, observe how awk- ard b three-leged angel from Utah would appear among the Inhabitants n the eternal world.” RELIGIOUS. The Archbishop of New Orleans does not favor church pienics. Raston Corbett, who shot Wilkes Booth, is & hatter in Philadelphia on week days, and preaches for the Independent Methodists in Camden Sundays. The Lincoln f{ower for Surrey chapel, London, will cost $37,000, all of which has been subscribed— one-halfby Americans and the other by British, The number of British clergy in Massachusetts is 132; of churches, 104; ot communicants, 12,492; of Sunday school members, 12,820; contributions last year, $511,446. The Spiritualists of Oregon helda conference meeting at Gervais, com- mencing July 24th, some 1,500 per- sons being present. E. C. Cooley was chosen President; J. S Hawk- ins, Vice President; E. M. Eagle, Secretary, and Mrs. L, Mallory, As- sistant Secretary, The Bishop of Lincoln hss made an earnest appeal to the Wesleyans in England, to return to the Estab- lished Church. But the present state of things indicates that more Church of England people will go to the Wesleyans than Wesleyans will come to the Church.

In 1846 five Brothers of the Sacred Heart came hither from France and established themselves in Indianapolis, Indiana, where they have founded colleges and schools valued now at '$35,000. They have houses also in Canada and elsewhcre. Three of those Brothers recently sailed for Europe to obtain additional help, with which they will return in October.
