Correspondence of Tia brx Pratrsyouti, July 26.—The river improvement at this point is progross- pend the thirty thousand ing finely to dollars appropt ad vantage for all individuals interested. Er charge, ably as- sisted by a corps of young sophomores l The main channel of the river is to| De tarned from the west bank at this | point and directed toward the east em- bankment of the B. & M. bridge on the Towa side. This little m by immense wire nets stretched along ter is to be effected the western bank a little way from it, at and near where the bold Mis- souri dares approach the Nobraska shore. These nets are to be anchored by rock and willow pegs, the latter driven into the permancnt_sand bar with hatchots, axes and hand-sledges. This wire netting, it is supposed will strain the waters of the Missouri, and collect materials for an imperishable barrier to our western bank. Your reporter was not satisfied with his own judgment as to these trail means for turning the freaky Missouri, and so asked the B, & M. and city engineers. The former said: “Do you think we would permit stich a thing if we hadn’t any faith in it?” The latter said: “Why, it would have just as much effect if they were to take bows and shoot their willow sprouts at the Towa bluffs!” The B. & M. corporation las its main repair and machine shops for over one thousand miles of road at this point. The shops and material yards occupy fifteen acres, These grounds are in the southegstern sec- tion of the city and some twenty feot above high water mark, so that they are entirely out of danger from the river. At present they consist of the following buildings: Machine shops, 45x150 faet; boiler house, 40x40 feet; boiler shops, 36x60 teot; blacksmith shops, 65x200 feet. All of these are fine brick andstone buildings, equipped with the finest machinery. Bostdes these there are about six frame build- ings now used for offices, store houses, paint shops, etc. The shops being erected are ths round-house, of twenty stalls, eighty- eight feot deop; car shops of twelve stalls; wood work shops, 60x150 fect, and store and oil house, 50x175 feet. This building consists of two stories and basement. The upper story will be used for offices. ’l‘husu buildings will all be finished by November 1st, and then the present force of shop- men_will be 5uuhled, thus giving steady and profitable employment to nearly soven hundred shopmen alone, Besides these, the company is makiny other extensive improvements, such as building sewer driins and gradin, the gronnds, The company will spen nearly ove hundred thousand dollars for shops and yard improvements alone at this point, this season. An- other season will see these shops so that all building and repaiving for the road can be done here, These shops alone will assure a population of from 8,000 to 10,000. At present there are 2,084 cars roported at these shoos, and 670 men on the pay roll at this point. It would take a whole column to itemizo the buildings going up here. A fow good business houses will be comploted this season. This line of building is not as active as a year ago, The new hotel is completed but not yet opened, 1t is needed here more than anywhere else in the state, but somehow there is a hitch, and ho- tel men come and go, saying: ““We can't pay such rent.” Travelers ar- rive and depart with the first and last word an oath at_our hotel accomo- dations, and the new hotel still stands vacant. This is a shame, Weo are told that the citizens and board of trade donated several thousand del- lars towards this hotel. If this be true, surely they should look into the matter and see that the traveling pub- lic have some accommodation when in these parts. If its citizens have no more concern in such matters of vital interest to the town, we say amen to every traveling man when he utters his maledictions on Platts- mouth's hotel accommodations Every line of business is prospering, All dealors are making money and the air of good times is the marked fea- ture of every business man, The county offices are the only po- litical stakes for the present, aud the entries are numerous It looks as if Plattsmouth wants everything and one ward wants Plattsmouth, We were told that the boundaries ot one city ward contained every prominenut candidate for each county offico. This will make war internal and the demo- crats will capture what they want The county republicans may take a hand in the matter and have some- thing to say. Weeping Wator has a paper now and cau got before the people intend to have say. The democrats in Cass are cally ~schem- ing on the spoils of the past and itions of the present, and praying or the happy continuation of that factionalism in the republican ranks that has given them u?]il:u for the lust fu;{yonn. ayor O'Rourke is buildiug a fine residence, Ex-County Treasurer Cummins is scon tomove to town, and is building 4 fine house for that purpose, Postmaster Marshall is under the weather.

GLENWOOD GLEANINGS. —- Notes fromithe County 'Seat of Mills County, Towa This beautifully located and flour- ishing little city has been ina flurry of excitement for some weeks, over the prospective building boom, which was expected to developn this season, and now we can say that the boom has hit us in real earnest. | Hinchman has begun to place on the material for a fine brick business building that will be a credit to the town and its owner, Property owners on the north side of the square have been joined by other eapitalists, and formed a stock company to be known as the “Glen- wood Hotel Co.” They will at once proceed to ot a three story hotel, on the site of the old Custar House, Not wishing to be outdone by their north side friends, another company has_been formed, to be known as the Union Hotel Company, and they will build at once a similar hotel on the present site of the Glen- wood House. Other property owners hore (and there are many with plenty of means) are figuring to build ~ soon. Among the enterprises talked of, is a pork-packing establishment, and an experienced man in this business would receive hearty support if desic- us of locating here, Politics are liable to be very lively in Mills county this fall, and although there has not been m announce- ments made by aspirants for office, the strikers are swarming and work has begun on both sides. Tho officers of the county agricul- tural society are expecting to have a very interesting fair this fall, and have published a fine promiumn list, The track on the grounds has been put in fine condition, and several flyers aro being worked on it, preparatory to the fall meetings. Among the most at- tractive of these may be scen *“Glon- wood,” the beautiful Bashaw stallion belonging to Dr. 0. W, Archibald, su- werintendent of the “Asylum for Fee- le Minded Children.” There were three running races on the track last Thursday, made up trom home stock. The races were good, and drew out a fair attendance, Farmers in this section report crops in good condition, and much better than was expected, owing to the late- ness of the spring. Henderson, a Mills county town, has been having a sensational scandal, and it it resulted ina free fight last week between Ed. Lewis and his bro- ther William, on one side, and Samuel Bodyfelt and one Parmley, on the other, The fight began by the two Iatter having succeeded in alienating the affections of Ed Lewis’ wife, who was said to be very indiscreet in en- couraging them. The Lewis brothers gave their opponents a severe punish- ing, and then had Bodyfelt arrested for gaining the lady's affec- tions, He wastriad by Squire Purcell of Hastings and bound over to the grand jury it bonds of $800. Parmley skipped out. Lewis is a well-to-do farmer, and a divorce suit is pending. Bodyfelt was put in jail here on Fri- day. Since ‘‘Ranger” was here, I notice quite a number of Bee's flying around, but they are not so numerous yet as I expect to see them after their virtue and true inwardness are found out by our citizens. Give them Towa nows and they will pay for it, especi- ally if accompanied by all of those splendid inducements which are offer- ed since your last departure. Thanks to “Ranger" for his complimentary notice of Glenwood, and its people, and daily paper. More_anon. G. L. Exwoon, Newport Amusements. Susan Coolidge describes as follows, in the Midsummer Scribner, some of the amusements of Newport: ‘‘The amusements of Newport, in the season, are inany and various. First and foremost should be named the Casino, a mnew feature, but already a most important one. This charming place, which is both like and unlike the conversation halls, which in Europe, bear the same name, is built on the Avenue not far from the Ocean House. Its aspoct from the streot is that of a low, picturesque facade, two stories m height, in the old English style, of brick and olive- painted wood, quaintly shingled and oddly carved, with wide casemerit windows, and here and there a touch of gilding. A single year has toned its color down to a delightful oldness, which would do no discredit o a street in Chester or Coventry, A broad entrance-hall in the middle of the building leads to an inner quad- rangle, turfed and set with flower-beds, in the midst of which rises a splash- ing fountain. Above and below, on the street sido of this quadrangle, are club-rooms and oftices, broken by a I)icturumlua clock-tower, To right and left are more club-rooms, a restaurant, reading, dining, and smoking rooms; dressing-rooms for ladies and gent!c men; smaller saloons, where enter- tainments may bo given; and kitchens, wisely ordered on the second floors; where their noises and swells can annoy no one, The fourth side of the quadrangle is filled with a double curve of roofed galleries, two stories in height, where ladies sit the worn- ing long, work in hand, chatting with friends, enjoying the smell of the spray-freshened flowers, and listening to the music of the band. Buynu‘l] this quadrangle lies another and wider “one, edged with trees and nhrqbberw., past which winds the carriage drive from an entrance at the back, This lawn is devoted to open- air tennis, At its far end is another long building, in which are racket- courts, bowling-alleys, and a beautiful ball-room, fitted up'with a stage and all the appurtenances for private theatricals. 1t will be seen how many and how various tastes may be served iu a building of this sort. ‘“Polo play, and sitting by to see rulu .pln{qed, are among the other avorite Newport amusements. Still another is to ride or drive to the meets of the Queen's County Hunt, which, in the latter part of the season, has a run about twice a week. Foxes . His Ts.

Cl by is tho tiny rock with its time-washed light-house, where dwells the brave Ida Lewis, heroine of so much daring adventure, and beyond st of Brenton's casemates and smooth glacis of Fort Adams, In the deep point of the inner cove lie the wrecks of two ships, one of them an abandoned slaver, drifted many years since into this quict harbor, and gradually breaking to pieces under the slow, untiring touches of wind and tide. Only the ribs now remain; they lie, Dlack, skelcton-like shapes, ted in the tranquil waters of the cove - a perpet- vl ploastire tokuch Artiat take pleasure in contrast and liappy acci- dents, “Beside the fashionable Bellevue enue, and the celebrated ocean which for nine miles follows the sinuosities of the shore from Bailey’s Beach to Brenton’s Cove, thore are others less famous, but no less enjoyable: The drive over the two beaches, tor exanple, and out to the long end of Sachuet Point, through gaps in stone walls and across fields of grain, by overgrown tracks, where wild flowers and tall nodding grass half bury the wheels; or the drives to Coddington’s Cove, to the n, to Lawton's Valley, or along the shore of the eastorn passage. These inland drives afford constant characteristic glimgses,” Stanton and Greeley. ‘Washington Special to the Cincinnati Commer- clal, The following curious dispatches, printed for the tirst timo in the Wash- ington dispatches of The New York Timos to-day, are of interest at this tine. They were sent by Mr. Stan- ton to the Hon, Bdwards Pierrepont about a_month after the assassination of Mr. Lincoln, They are inte as evidenco of a very different | of oxcitement in Washington at that timo from any which has been caused | by the attempt on the life of President Garfield: “WiR DEPARTMENT, “May 12, 1865—10:05 p. m. *‘To the Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, New York: I have written to-night to retain you and Cutting and Brady, or any one elso you may desire to have associated with you to prosecute Horace Greeley and the owners of The Tribune for Greeley's persistent efforts the last four weeks to incite as- sassins to finish their work by murder- ing me. Please give the matter your immediate attention on receiving the letter, and secure copies of all The Tribunes printed since the night of the president’s murder, and get the names of the owners. I propose to prosecute criminally, and also by civil suit, for Ishall not allow them to have me murdered and escape respon- sibility without a struggle for life on my part. “EpwiN M. StaxToN.” “WaR DEPARMENT, May 13, 5:20 p. m, To the Hon. Edwards Pierrepont and the Hon. B. Cutting, New York, T have proof of express personal malice arainst me by Greeley, and T beliove that I can establish a combi- nation between him and others which may end in accomplishing my death, as it did against Mr, Lincoln and Mr. Seward. This is my renson for distinguishing his case from others of general vituperation. EpwiN M. BTANTON. The second telegram was sent in reply to one which contained an inti- mation that 1t might be at least in- discreet to make such an arrest as the one suggested by Mr. Stanton. Frank Bardal, North Bennett Street, Buffalo, says: “T have tried your SPRING Brossod as a family medicine and have nover comie across angthing to do so much good in 5o short & time in cuses of indiges tion, dyspepsia and derangement of the stomach ; I strongly recommended it,” Price 50 cents, trial bottles 10 cents, 24-eod-1w A Lady Correspondent, Mz, Epiror.—In a recent issue of your paper ‘‘Daisy B.” writes to know what to do when she has the “blues,” Now, I have heen troubled with that very unpleasant and essentially femi- nine complaint in the past, and T am (uite sure my experience will help her.
