There would seem to be an ineu- rable variance between the life which men covet for themselves and that which they admire inoth- ers; nay, between thelot which they would vhoose beforehand, and that in which they glory afterward. The aim which God assigus to us as our highest is, indeed, the direct reverse of that which we propose to our- selves He would have us in per- petual sonflict; we crave an unhro- by sigh for rest. He throws us on} a rugged universe, and our first care is to make it smooth. i« resolve Is to demand of us, withdut ceasing, a living power—a force fresh from the spisit He has given; ours, to get intosuch settled ways that life may almost go of itself, with scarce the trouble of winding up. Every way He lux our reluetant will. He grows thistle and the hedge,but expects us toraise the olive and the corn, kaving given us a por- tion of strength and skill for such an end. He leaves in each man's Jot a thicket of sharp temptations, and expeots him, though with bleed- ing feet, to pass firmly through, hav- ing given him courage, conscience and guide divine to sustain him, lest he faint. And, afler ail, in spite of their wills, men ae, in their Inmost hearts, on the side of God, rather mnuuna-n,mzu-m..l p NEBRASKA SKETCHES. The Valley of tne Nemaha. (Correspondence of the BEE.) HuxBoLDT, RICHARDSVN C0., ] . Oct. 10th, 1874, | The Valley of the Nemaha has been very noted for its extreme fer- tility, but we were quite unprepared | for the scenes which here met our | view. We expected to see log housesand dug outs predominate as we traveled westward up the valley, | but we were agreeably disappointed, forthere is not in Nebraskaa district where orchards, groves, and fine | residences are more numerous. We saw plenty of log houses now used for stables, and root houses that once were dug outs, but their former in- habitants are now occupying more cozy quarters This shows true pro- gress. The mushroom days are past, and the hardy pioneers are begin- ning to enjoy the fruits of their toil- The corn here is, however, thisyear an entire failure. Grasshoppers and | drouth combined have left nothing that will pay for picking. The wheat is an averagecrop, Oats are rather poor. Fifteen miles west of Falls City, on the Atchison & Nebraska rail- road, is the village of Dawson’s Mills. Four years ago there was not a house here;now there isa i little town with three general stores | and a drng store in course of erec- tion. Bulldings are going up every- | where, and the enthusiastic villa- | gers told us they would have a city | here yet. Hosford & Chittenden ar the ploneers of the town, and_keep | a general assortment of goods, inclu- ding everything marketable. MMr. . L. Mead is the postmaster, and as Jovial g gentleman as ever stamped s letter. He koeps a store al where be retails everything you can think of, jokes included. Mr. E. B. Webb has just opened up a neat lit- They are good. Mg, J. M. Brock- man keeps a g tore, where he does a lively busimess. Acker- man & Houston _are eaffle dealers and butch Mr. H.H; Smith keeps a_ general store. He is a genial, clever gentleman, anthas a host of customers. Mr. E. P. Tacker hias a vast quantity oflath, shingles, doors, sash, building m: terial, &., constantly on hand. His trade s large and constantly'on the increase. Earley, Sherer & Stone are also extensive lumber dealers, having houses in_Humboldt, Salem und Atchison, Kansas. The best assortment of ‘furni- ture we have seen in thiseoun- ty 18 kept by Mr. C. M. Whiteomb, who has just moved into an elegant store on the west side of the public square. We are stopping at the Humboldt | House, kept by Mr. C. J. Tinker. | Tt is quiet and homelike, with very 1easonable charges, which is a mai- ter of importance these hard -times. | There is a good llvery stable attac | ed to the hou |~ Humboldt has two good elevators. One of them especially, merits our attention. It was built by the Humboldt Patrons of Husbandry. The arrangement of the machinery ever seen, and reflects great credit on Mr. D. W. Sowle, who designed 1 superintended the construction of everything about it. The cost of the building was only $4,000, | although it has ecapacity for 20,000 bushels of grain, Mr. George G. Start, the manager,is.a gentleman who has had many yearsexperience in handling grain. Humboldt looked as it is by one o the richest and best cultivated farming districis to be found any- where , it is certainly highly favors | ed, but unfortunately for Omaha, almost the entire trade of south eastern Nebraska goes to §t. Joe. Now if Omaha had direct railroad connections with the country, the present state of affairs would be re- versed. The Trunk railroad is being built, but that alone will never bring to Omaha_the millions of money which flows from this rich gounty; hut let the capitalists of Omaha with theli usual energy and fore- | | and tle store, and is getting a fair share of custom. “The Village Bla smith" s Mr. Daniel Tyner,and we should judge by his massive arm that he had swung the sledge for many & year. Mr. J. 5. Wade is a Wagon maker, who, like a. true pio- neer, has for some time past been | contentto live in 8 shed built on to | his shop, but now he s erecting on2 | of the neatest cottages in town. All other trades are as yet unrepresen- ted, and to young men wishing to goto work for themselves, we say, HiGo west young man, go west," i Dawson’s Mills, and ‘‘grow up with the country.” From here we went went on up the valley to Humboldt, which is an important business cen- ter of this part of the country. It § situated in the Western part of Rich- ardson county, and on the line of the Atchison & Nebraska railroad. Tts water-power, which s toolittle valued, could, if properly utilized, run half a dozen manufactories in now in operation. Within one mile of the town theie are quarries of fine limestone, which has been used extensively, but there is enough left to build a dozen cities. The Humboldt High School is gonsider- ed to be one of the best conducted educational institutions In the State Prof. 8, P. Boyd, A. B., with five as sistants, constitute the facult; ‘Humboldt has one of the greatest architectural curiositics we have seen anywhere—a sort of Noah’s Ark. Itis of massive proportions, three stories high, but it looks as if it had been originally a one story building, and then, as everything else progressed, it took a start and Uigrew up with the town,” a story ata time, each addition quite the reverse in shape and appearance from the one that preceded it. Tn- de it is as curious as on the outside. Mr. W. H. Stearns is the Noah of this ark and he has six stores or de- partments in the building. In one Place he sells groceries, in another “lothing, and so on to the end of the list, even including the drug business and 8 watchmaker’s shop. There are two flouring mills here, one of which, the Humboldt Mil is run by Joe Glasser, a former Oma- haian. ~His miller is Mr. R. H. Spencer, a man who has been thirty- two years in_the business and has the nawe of making better flour than can be produced in any of the fourteen mills on the Nemaha river. “Spence’” 5 a genius_and is one of Doc Miller’s “old settlers.” He once owned the entire tract of land south of the U. P. depot, which is now the princely domain of theKounzes. He also had a half interest in the Plattsmouth town site ; but he con- sidered a few corner lots in Bellevue worth more than Omaba or Platts- mouth, which then had but little existence excepting on paper, so he traded and the result is that Mr. Spence is rich in nothing now but reminiscences of the past. That, however, was a mine to us, and af- ter listenng for an hourto the “ways that are dark and tricks that are vain” of the old time politicians, who kept Nebraska’s capital on wheels iu order to fill their pockets, we came to the conelusion that the politicians of to-day are honest men compared with those ancient legis- lators. R. H. Spence could have thrown much light on that famous libel question and it 18 a pity that he was not a witness in the suit. One of the best general stores in town is that of Frazier & Labal. Their place of business is too small for the immense trade which they have. Captain Enoch is the agri- cultural man of Humboldt, and he also keeps a first-class boarding house and is fond of tellingjolly sto- ries of the old times when he was a captain of a mm{;lngl of Indian fighters. Mr. F. W. Samuelson is one of the rising men of Humboldt, and has the reputation of being one of the shrewdest men in Richardson county, and we belleve it Mr. Samuelson is a hardware merchant and banker, and ifhe Is not before many years one of the richest men in this part of the country, it won’t be on account of somebody having fooled him out of bis money. ~ Mr. M. E. McDowell keeps a good res- taurant, confectionery, &o. Mr. E. catches the shadow ere the substance fades. E. F. Patrick, M. D., practices his ion, and is also agent for the lorence sewing machine. He told us that he had all that he eould at- tend to, and judging from what we saw we should say he had. The doetoris & genlal gentleman, and ought to have a good partner to as- sisthim. Doctor, how about that bill at Mims’ ? The prineipal dres-making and millinery establishment is kept by Mrs. A. P. Smith. Mr. John Klossner repaired our sadale and done it well, consequently, we be- lleve him to be & good harness- maker. Mr. deth W. Bealsis one of the leading men of - the county, and will undoubtedly be a member of the next legislature, as he has the nomination of the Kepublican party. Mr, Beals Is ajustice of the peade, real estate agent, and dealer in agrioultural implements. Mr. W. W. Turkis a druggist, who ‘Jarge stock of medicines, but ‘more interest in his clgars. addition to the two_flouring mills | F.

A reform candidate, the Rev. E.B. Sterlin, advertised the | town_and sent drummers to bring | in a crowd and then rung his little hell repeatedly and by elght o'clock got twenty-three men to listen very impatiently to a raging denuncia- tion of everything in general and Roberts in particular, ~There was but little attention and no enthus- fasm, and the only one satisfied with' his sentiments was himself. Some one told us how this same Revrened gentleman had allowed polities to getintohis muscle to sach an extent that in a neighboring town he made an attack on the Rev. J. H. Griftiths, who unceremonious- 1y denounced the political preacher. Humboldt has a tip-top Brass Band and as its gentle notes which are now floating inat my window have a tendency to woo the drowsy god, | we will lad you gll good night, and retire to our virtuous couch. RANGE Our Tecumseh Letter. Tecuysen, Neb., Oct. 15,774 Eprror BE Tecumseh has been in a muddle, politically, for some time, and as the town has not been overrun with po- litical meetings the voters of the town and county around have not felt that interest politically that many others have, notwithstanding it isa Republican county and will poll a heavy Republican vote on the 18th of October. Persuant to ap- pointment General Roberts and Colonel Vandevoort arrived on the evening train from the south, when they were welcomely received and notice was soon given that they would speak at the Court Iouse. been given through the county, many from the country came in to hear the champlon speakers and the much persecuted” General Roberts. were filled and the veople eagerly awaiting the hour, when Mr. John Wilson was called to the chair and introduced General Koberts, who opened his speech with that pleas- ant style with which he is usu- ally accustomed. He was not long; however, in telling the people what his mission was, and the issues of the day. He made that impres- ston upon the voters which will tell the day of the election. We had one of Lis best :ges(‘hefi, which was heartily recer by all who were present. The Colonel followed in his ususl pleasant manner, and brought to bear some stubborn facts, which would induce the voters on next Tuesday to vote tie stralght Republican ticket, The speech was very pointed, seasoned occasionally with & few of those social jokes, which kept the audience eager to hear the conclusion. The speeches were truly interesting, and gave good satisfaction to the audlence, notwithstanding the fact that the speakers had become almost tired out by the tedious and fatiguing campaign. ADD. — Telegraphic Luxuries. The telegraph in this country is a luxury that only rich men and cor- porations can afford to use. For or- dinary business purposes the rates are too high. The dispatch eats up the profit. The great drag on the newspaper enterpriseof the country is the expense of telegraphic com- munieation ; and this mill-stone is kept fastened on the neck of the young glant Ly the Press Assocla- tion, which endures the extortions of the telegraph monopoly only be- cause It can indulge in the luxury of & smaller monopoly on lts own account. But while we are sweating and groaning under the burdens of this bad system it Is refreshing te know that lts operations are confined to this country. On the continent of Europe telegraphing Is very cheap. A day or two ago we gave Mayor Medill’s testimony as to the tele- graphio system of Germany, where the lines are owned and ope- rated by the government. Mr. Smolley bears the ssme testimony in regard to the telegraph system of England. The ordinary rate for a press telegram between two places in the kingdom used to bea shil- ling for twenty words, address free. After the government took the tele- graph lines under its control it re- duced the rates toa hundred words forn shilling. The whole of Pro- fessor Tyndall’s_address, ocoupying eight and a half columns in the London Times, was sent to that pa- per by telegraph, ‘at an immense cost,"” we are toid, But tbis feat, | | | is the most perfect that we have | sight, take hold of this matterand | At an early hour, notice having When the timearrived the speakers repaired to the hall, where the seats which that paper celebrates as ‘one | of the wonders of journalism,” cost | abouf $30 1 gold.” The same ad-| dres$ sent through the cable to this country would have cost us abqut | $2100 in gold. | ‘The Herald has often paid $500, and sometimes twice that sum fora | simple cable dispatch. Someof the | Tribune’s dispatches during the | Franco-German war cost still larger | | sums. Even our local telegraph | bills often mount up toa height that | throws the boasted enterprise of the | London Zimes into the shade. The | | Chicago Zribune paid some $600 for | its telegraphic copy of Moulton’s statement. This sows the crush- | | ing weight under which our Ameri- can journalism struggles to main- tain itself. The telegraph monopo- | Iy doubles the price of dispatches, | and its exactions are supported by | the Associated Press, because it is | also & monopoly and can practice a | little extortion on its own_account. And the press of the country put up | with the infliction out of sheer tim- idity, and the fear that any effort | to throw it off would be followed by | a withdrawal of telegraphic privii- eges altogether. v dare no even advocate the purchase and op- eration of the telegraph lines by the government, as in Germany and England, lest the double monopoly shall grind them to powderas wheat | between the upper and nether stones of the mill, These facts and figures, given in one of the Associated Press papers, tell their own story. They show the necessity for breaking the telegraph monopoly by putting this whole business i the hands of the gove ment, where it belongs. This would reduce the cost of telegraphic com- munication three-fourths and treble the telegraphie business of the coun- try.This would reduce the tele- graph from a luxury, which ounly rich men and great corporations ean afford to indulge In, to & great com- mon sonvenience and public bene- fit.—New York Graphic. | Economy for the Winter. (From the New York Tribune ) The end of September a year ago inaugurated one of the most curlous reforms which ever took place i our social history—a reform based at first on neither a reason nor a principle. Every man began to economize beiore he felt any lack of money, not because he held econo- my to be a virtue, but beause he doubted his neighbor's financial cre- dit, just asnow he does his religion, and for no better cause. Notknow- ing what business or speculation to trust, he resolved tobutton up what- ever money he might have in his pocket, and by all means possible to keep it there. Economy was for a while literally the fashion. It was the proper thing to have ‘“invested in the Northern Pacific, and to find it expedient to contract.”” Now, when the general distrust and con- traction have made the evil a reali- ty, and economy a necessity, we do not practice it with such complacen- cy and alry grace. Just at present, when the summer holiday is over and the heads of the fim or family are planning the winter’s campaign, i the time which they take to decide how and where the pinch and tightening shall be made. In most cases the object is to make it not where it will be the least felt, but where the next door neighbor will not find it out. Brown finding his shelves full of goois which sell too slowly for his needs, retains his ornamental platoon of salesman, bul docks the number and pay of his hands who work out of sight. His wife cuts down the wages of her semptress, dickers with the washerwoman oyer every week’s bill, but drives as usual in the park behind her blooded bays and liveried footmen. The same system of petty scrimping and ill-judged expendi- ture runs into every class and grade. The master carpenter’s wife, pro- nounced among her neighbor’s as a generous _housekeeper and (on the basis of her dress and parlor fur- niture) “a perfect lady,” finding her allowance cut down one-half, turns off the poor woman who has sewed for her, and buys her underwear ready-made, saving enough in this way'to treat herself to a Parisian winter dress, a mass of course cloth, gaping stitches and tawdry bead- work. The sewing woman in her turn is driven to these ready-made clothing shops, and will make for the rest of the year calico wrappers at 25 cents for each, and other gar- ments In the same proportion. The female employes of the mills recents ly closed or running on half time crowd the doors where this work is given out, glad of this poor chance to escape starvation. The other ohance which offers itself to both sewing woman and mill-hand, de- cent, faithful domestic service, they turn’ from as involving a loss of caste. The caok or chambermaid at Brown’s, or even the carpenter’s house, is paid a¢ nearly double the rates of (sales-ladies” in the smaller shops. The sales-lady lodges in & garret and lives on starvation diet, while the cook nas at her disposal all the comfort and delicacies which her employer can command for him- self. The motive in this madness lies in the much abused name of “lady,” and it is this motive which aceounts for the hundreds of womed duiven, by their own show- ing, to the brothels of New Yorkfor bread. This appetite for vulgar dis- play aud struggle for sham position has served the Tribune and all other social mentors as a never failing text for years in thels crusade against the shortcomings of our half educated classes. It was apparent enough in the days of lavish ex- penditure, but it is oddly mére no- ticeable In the recent attempls at economy. The man who when in Europe flings his money about to the amusement and gain of all shopkeepers, and when at home dares not dispute an extortionate bill for fear of a suspicion of pover- ty, is the man who in the hard times coming this winter will dock the wages of his workmen to spend the money in opera or ball tickets. Anv appeal to him would be wasted. When wealth is held tobe the sole qualification to rank or respect, we are not likely to be willing to betray our lack of it. There is a class of rational and cultured men and women whom it may be worth while to remind just now that the saving of money is not sometimes the best humanity or economy. We fall to see the wis- dom of discharging workmen or servants whose wages would amount to hundreas during the winter months, and_before the winter is over subseribing thousands to bene- ficial societies or soup-houses. Nor is it better policy to deny ourselves suddenly the comforts and luxuries o r!'he n}nnlnlncmu of which th; majority of elty operatives depen for their daly Sread The remil:h, of course, only apply to the wealthy class; but there are noneof us who should1 not carefully consider how our small surpius funds could be ex- pended in wages rather than in alms. — At an eating house in Fort How- ard, on the Chicago and Nortnwest- ern'rallroad, the following sign 1s hung up: ‘‘All meals taken in this hall will be seventy-five cents, re- gardless of age, business, sex, ‘na- tionality, politics, religion, of previ- ous condition of servitude.” HONEY FOR THE LADIES. | Camilla Urso, the violinist, knows | how to draw a bow. | A Boston girl had gnan arrested | for “winking at her” in a street car, | and he proved that he had been | blind 22 years. 7 | «Tije honeymoon isall very well,” said a prudent belle, “but ‘what I | want to see beyond that is the prom- | ise of a fine harvest moon.” | A Troy woman got all ready to | clope with a young man, but finding | that he had been eating onions for supper, she went back to her hus- | band. “Dear me!” disconsolately said a rude young girl, “I've forgotten my handkerchief. Fortunately I havn't | abad cold; butIhavn't anything to flirt. with.” Bus—to kiss. Re-bus again. _ Blunder-bus—two girls ing each other. Omni-bus—to Kiss | all'the girls in theroom.
