Excepting previously before every election. Uv ciorse, WE regret’ exceedingly that pro- fessional engagements will prevent us from participating with the citi- zens of Kearney in their grand bridge celebration next Tuesday. From all accounts the celebration promises to be a grar.d affair. — ArzEr selling out Mr. Augustus ‘Weis, ore of the most popular and intelligent Germans in Douglas county, it is more cunning than kind in the editor of the Herald to appeal to the Germans for support of the Bourbon ticket. “NOTHING is 80 successful as suc- cess,” and this maxim applies very forcibly to the present State Fair. Everybody is forced to admit that it is a grand succese, and even the most incredulous are exclaiming, “Djidn’t I told you so " TeE Cincinnati Times is deter- mided to snub everybody that does not implicitly believe in the Black Hills gold discoveries. Referring to the recent publication of Lieutenant " Colonel Grant’s views the Journal in question says: “We have noob- Jection to the Associated Press dis- ‘datehes throwing cold“Water on the B et B rit pose of 'fil! =Hwd ot CONTEMPTIBLE WARFARE. The warfare waged by the Nebras- Ik Temperance News against Bruno Tzschuck, the Republican candidate for Secretary of State, is absolutely contemptibile. Everybody knows that the editor of the temperance organ had for many months past been waging re- lentless war upon the Republican party. Whether this was merely a scheme to frighten Republicans into & policy that has proved suicidal in every Ssate where it has oeen at- tempted, or whether this was an in- genious effort toforce Republicans to buy him off with money or office, is immaterial. Buffice it say that like Jeff Davis he had decided to secede before an overt act had been com- mitted justifying such extreme measures. When the Republican Convention was in session, this fire- eating Prohibitionist was active in working up candidates for the Re- publican party that would be easy to beat. After the Republican Convention had adjourned Mr. Slaughter per- sonally acknowledged to us that he had worked hard to have Doctor Renner nominated. Why did you work for Renner in preference to Tzscbuck? was our question, and he replied, because Renner was much easier to beat. And thisis the man thac now assails the ummpeachable character of Bruno Tzschuck in the most in- famous manner, by charging him with bemng walking beer keg and low saloon keeper. The last num- ber of the temperance sheet con- tains a letter from H. B. Kelley, the “Democratic” county commissioner of Sarpy county, who,without giying dates and names attempts to convey the impression that Bruno Tzschuck had at one time kept & saloon st Bellevue, and had been complained of before s grand jury for selling liquor without a license. This 1n- formation Mr. Kelley, claims to have obtained from some ofthe or- iginal settlers of Sarpy eounty ;but he is very eareful not to state their names. Mr. Kelley has doubtless lived in Sarpy county some eight or ten years and he has no personal knowl- edge of these defamatory charges. Now we have good reason to belleve that this is one of those campaign lies, forged expressly to suit the oc- casion. It is evident that the Tem- perance organ is determined to elect a Democratic Secretary of State, for Do sane man claiws that the Prohi- bition candidate has the slightest chance. How any man, professing to be actuated by moral pringiples and a desire for genuine political reform, can so demean himself asto wan- tonly assail the character of a Re- publican, who, quite apart from be- ing an honest, hard-working Ne- hrasks pioneer, has un honorable political record and unexceptionable social connections, passes our com- prehension. ————— THE Saperintendent of the Cen- t TRAVEL AND EMIGRATION. EmigrantFields of North Amer- ica. (Edwin Curley in tbe London Turf and Field, Bept 5th) On July 6 T left Fremont for a | visit to Stanton aud Cuming counti in the famous Elkhorn Valley. The Elkhorn is a tribu- tary to the Platte. Its general course is about 200 miles, andin its winding it is probably nearly double that length. 1ltsan important ar- tery in the drainage system of the vast lacustrine region of the west, and through its railroads, now com- pleted for fifty miles or upwards to ‘Wisner, in Cuming county, and which will doubtless eventually tap the timber regions of the Niobrara, some 250 miles from its starting point, it will eventually become a Very considerable artery of com- merce, On the-train I met the once notorious General O'Niel, who led the great Fenian invasion of Canada which ended so suddenly in a most_inglorious fizzle. O'Niel is a fine, handsome, and very gentle- manly fellow of aboutj thirty-five, and he is now engaged in the laud- able endeavour 1o draw some of his countrymen from the temptations and povery of eastern cities to the purer life and the eventual comfort and plenty of homestead set- tlers in the far West. An Irish colony under his auspices is expected to settle in Holt county, far up towards the sources of the Elkhorn. Thisis a long distance beyond the present terminus of the railroad, but the project is not with- out very considerable advantages. If the colony should be favorably started, the first settlers for three or four years will be able to sell their surplus Yroduoe to new comers, and they will need but little transporta- tion till the railway completes itsin- evitable course up the river. They will have a sufficiency of timver for building and fuel, and on the whole there is every reason to believe that their settlement will be a substantial success. O'Neil goes into the mat- ter with true Irish enthusiasm, dwelling upon the fertility of tha soil and the numerous advantages of the project; and I have no doubt that he is perfectly sincere in the belief that the Celtic colony, with “The O'Neil” for its chieftain, will be a paradise for ail, ‘We stopped for the night at Wis- ner, the temporary terminus of the railway, and the next day, with a two-horse trap and driver, and & land surveyor and agent familiar with the country, we drave Into Stanton eounty. 'For a dozen miles or more our route lay along the beautiful timber-skirted river to the litle village which does duty as a county seat. Farmsteads were quite numerous, some of them sub- staptial and tidy, and showing, by their artificial groves and otherwise, the marks of five or six years' occupancy. The soil is a very rich light sandy loam, and the wheat, oats, and barley werelooking well. 'One German widow, with a cozy, well-situated farmstead, had 80 sres of good wheat, and 16 of maize. She was in_pursuit of har- vest hards, whom she expected to pay $2.50 per day and board; but she counted herself for one in the field, binding, as she did, with the best man among them. Her first wheat field was 16 acres, from which she sold about 500 bushels, but last year a large part of her crop was destroyed by an overflow of theriver. The German settlers are apt to work early and late, the ‘women toiling with the men in tne fields as much as possible, and they tral Pacific has admitted in & card published some days ago, that the Nevada division of that road is in- fested by monte gamblers—and now the Chicago Zribune hands the Cen- tral Pacific over to the tender mer- cies of the Grangers, Everready to award credit where it is due, the BEE takes pleasure in commending the liberality of Hon. John L. Redick toward the grass- hopper sufferers. This action is the more commendable in view of the fact that Mr. Redick is no candidate for office just now. — ‘WE had tha pleasure of meeting Professor Perry, the eminent Sci- entist, whojhas come to Omana, all the way from Massachusetts, to de- liver the annual address at the State Fair. Professor Perry is a scholar of rare literary and scientific attain. ments and his address will doubt- less be replete with gems of practi- caland usefu] information. E——— ‘WaiLe Nebraska Prohibitionists are bemoaning the fallure of the Republican Convention to put a loeal option plank into their plat- form, it may not be out of place to publish the fact that the dupreme Court of California has just rendered a decision dortaring the local option law recently enacted in that State “unconstitutional.” B THE comment of the New York Commercial upon the Democratic taetics will apply forcibly to the Herald’s flings touching the talking qualities of Silus Garber. The Com- mercial says: “Stepping down from argument to abuse, the Democratic newspapers publish Grant's public speeches to show that he cannot talk eloguently. But what of it? Horatio Seymour, Jefferson Davis, Sam. Tilden, George Francis Train, ‘William Dorsheimer, and Theodore Tilton can all talk fluently by the hour, and their weary auditors often wish to Heaven that they couldn’t.” THE SUMPTER SURVIVORS. OnMAHA, September 30. Eprror BEg:" Will you please correct the state- ment in your issue of this date in «Personalitles,” viz: ‘The recent death ot General Fos- ter leaves General Doubleday the oniy sutvivor of the officers of Fort Sumter at the time the flag was first assailed by the canon of trea- son. This statement is erroneous for my old commanding officer, Brevet Major General Jeff. C. Davis, now Colnel of the Twenty-third United States Infantry, was in Fort Sumter at the time,and was on duty asfirst lieutenant of artillery, and officer of the day, and in said capacity re- ceived Mr. Wigfall of the confeder- ates during the parley for the sur- thrive aceordingly. After breath- ing our horses at the village, we crossed the river, and followed a de- vious course, principally along the banks of the Union Creek to the south-west township in the county, where we stopped for the night at Craig City, a village of the future, at present consisting of a farm house, a little cabin, and a number of good farm buildings. On thisand an adjolning section are two fine fields of maize of about 820 acres. There were also about 100 swine, and a still larger number of very fair cattle. The whole township of thirty-six square miles is the prop- erty of a shrewd speculator in Uhio, and it was _interesting to me as an almost unique attempt to combine a large farm with pattle breeding in inclosed grounds. Several years ago the proprietor set out thirfy-six miles of hedge surrounding the township, and dividing it into four equal parts, He employed a head farmer and assistants, as they would be called here, broke up parts of two sections, and made the necessary improvements for etarting a good farm and a good herd of cattle, which he intended to increase as circumstances allowed. When his hedges should become good fences he intended to fill the township with cattle, to be kept without the trouble of herding. Bome of these would be his own, and others kept for outsiders ata price. He expected the normal in- crease In the values of land to af- ford him a fair speculative profit, which this unique arrangement of would vastly increase. But, unfor- tunately, he lived too far away for any active superintendenge, gnd his first farm bailiff was far from being the thoroughgoing man he should have been, His hedge plant, the Osage orange, was also an unfortu- nate choice; it needs in Nebraska deeper setting and more carefal at- tention than it gets, and it is there- fore universally afailure. His hedge throve just sufficiently to encourage him, ang in the end it amounted to little ornothing. His farm and his nursery of fruit trees did much bet- ter, but it was managed at some dis- advantage, and the profits cannot have been very large. On the whole, the experiment was a decided failure Judging from obser- vation, I should say that under like circumstances a willow, a box-elder,or a cottonwood hedge would have thriven, in which case the owner would have an enormous profit from his inyest- ment if his cattle business were managed with reasonable discretion and judgment. The laud has ap- preciated in value In the meantime, and this will fortunately redeem the failure, and give the ownera fair profit. The peculiar circumstan- ces of this western country aresuch that shrewd speculators oan often make up their booksto win some- thing in any event, while if they lose the race the{ lose nothing but the fine chance they had of making a fortune. Craig towuship is now to be divided into small for a colony of Bobemians, who will have the 6,000 fruit trees asan extra inducement, and'also building lots in the “city,” ata small price, the whole of which is to be expended in a fine%rick school house for their especial benefit. A good mill site ‘will become the property of & com- petent miller for nothing; and as the land is a deep, rich, well water- ed lacustrine, it isto be hoped that from the heat on our outward trip, but it was as a drop in the bucket to render of the fort, commanded by General Robert Anderson. Yours truly, the woe that befel us on our return freshment there, to drive on to Wis- ner in the cool shades of evening. ‘We drove across the prairie without a vestige of human existence around us for many miles; the soil was ta- ble-land or rolling prairie, with some small bottoms, almost every acre rich and lying nicely, but the vegetation was suffering for lack of rain. As the morning advanced the hot wind from the south increased in puffs and blasts as from" some fiery furnace. By twelve o’clock our very moderately driven horses were panting with open mouths, and scarcely able to proceed at a walk; but they would drink very Dhttle of the hot water from the which was all we had for them or | for ourselves. At half-past twelyp | we were by the side of an impasaa- ble ravine, three-quarters of a mile from our haven of rest; we plodded our weary way along this ravine for miles, and finally got around and | around it, and to our much-needed refuge, at three o'clock. Here we found kind friends, an Irish family of the middie class, who hospitably entertained us, and as evening ep-~ | proached sent uson our way in the best possible condition that the circumstances allowed. A storm came up, and cooled the air. Miles away to the west of us we could see the rain falling in slanting streaks, plainly under the influence of the wind from the north ; miles away to the east of us it could be seen fulling with a reverse inclination, the wind being there from the south. As we proceeded, the storm moved around us, and partly with us; we | seemed to bein a protected spot, | while the distant lightning flasbed with dazzling brilliancy, and some- times simultaneously from many points, and lit up the sharp ragged outlines of the moving mountainous clouds witha splendor but seldom witnessed In any climate ‘We arrived at our destination in | safety ; but my wife, though thor- | oughly protected from the sun, was | so badly burned by the mid-day | wind that the blisters have only just | disappeared, leaving their stamp be- hind them at the end of a fortnight. It was said to be the hottest day in the memory of the oldest inhabi- habitant, and it was our misfortune to have felt (as few have need to do) | its unmitigated effects, The partner of my woes was /iora de combat; but I continued my ex- plorations the next day, which prov- ed to be a very gomfortable one for my purpose. The general result of my mvestigation is eminently favor- able to the agricultural capacities of the two counties of Cuming and Stanton. E. A. €. — INDUSTRIAL POINTS. France sent to England last year 500,000,000 eggs. Up in the Northwest the lumber- men are now looking over their pine Iumber preparatory to the winter's campaign. The vintage of California this sea- son will, it is_estimated, amount to 10,000,000 gallons, against 4,000,000 in'1873, and 3,500,000 in 1873. Pork-packers generally anticipate a much better trade this year than Iast, notwithstanding the usual dul- ness of this season of the year. An industrial art exhibition has been opened at Brussels, and the whole breadth of one end of the building is occupied by an immense artificial stalactite gratto. The Erie canal has earned since its construction more than $30,000,- 000 over and above its first cost, en- Iargement and interest, and in’ the face of its great railway rivals. We are beginning to export bar- ley to Cuba. The European demand for this article has almost entirely ceased, and this may be the com- mencement of an extensive trado in another quarter. The jute imported into Great Bri- taia 1n 1673, is returned at 4,643,538 cwt., and of the value of £4,634,577. The quantity stated above is nearly three times the quantity imported seven years ago. Paper recently introduced into the market in sheets, half of which are gummed on both sides, and the oth- er half on one side, and divided in- to strips and squares of different si- zes by perforations, like sheets of postage stamps, promises to be very convenient in many ways—the doubly gummed answering for fix- ing drawings in books, labels on glasss, ete. It is stated that the mix- ture by which it is coated is prepa- red by dissolving six parts of glue, previously soaked for a day in_cold water, two partsof sugar, and three parts of gum arabic in_twenty-four parts of water by the aid of heat. Discoveries of fit and profitable oceupations for needy women are always to be noted with cordial sat- isfaction. In Australia, an excel- lent thing has been found for them todo in the ‘‘education” of silk- worms. An association of ladies has been formed to conduct the business, which it does with perfect success, the silk being thoroughly good, and having already with the grain o market in itsly. In- telligence of an equally pleasant industry for women comes from Cincinneti, Ohio, where many have learned wood-carving in the Me- Mikeen School of Design. The de- tails of this work, so full of delicate beauty, gave them more delight than trouble, and they have grown to use their own taste and inven- tion in design and construction. The resylts of this employment may be applied to furniture or tq orn: mental and less useful articles.

The manner in which the coal dust is treated and rendered suitable for use has been already described at length in Zhe Zvigune. 'The gorrespandent of g Philadelphia paper gives the follow- ing J:rtwul»rs of the working of & smaller machine than that previ- ously described : “A small machine has been put up at a machine shop in Mauch Chunk, where I have kad the op- portenity of observing the. mode of manufacture. I saw Mr. Loiseau il a pail with 19 pounds of coal ‘waste, to which he added one pound of clay, making only five per cent. of the latter. To this he added a small amount of milk of lime—a simple solution of common lime and water. These were thoroughly mixed fora few momentsin a wooden vessel which had been an ice-cream freezer. The mixture was then placed in a hopper over a compress- ing roller having on itsoater surface half-egg shaped con-cavities. The ‘machine was set in motion, and im- mediately the lumps of fuel began to fall on the floor at the bottom of it. I saw some of these lumps taken immediately, without any drying or other preparation, and placed upon an an te fire in a black- smith’s shop, where a blsst made immediaiels without any éricing mm, ; without any g or fracture, and burned perfectly, re- taining its shape until entirely con- sumed,” BANKING EZRA MILLARD, |J.
