Suppoeing the Jatter would land me in Sarpy county X went to Plattsmouth, but found I could not got over on Sunday, and that the only ferry they had was be- tween tho lowa and Nebraska shores. On Mouday morning I was landed in Jowa, and after floundering over roads that were almost equal to Tenth street after a storm I arrived at sunset with- in eight miles of Council Bluffs and found when I got to the river that Omaha, although so near, was yet very far away, for there would be no ferry over that night, and it was well on mto Tuesday before I arrived at my destination. Well, reader mine, would you believe that aftor all our ‘boasted progress thero has ot beon & single improvement made g&on that state of affairsl en South Bend built a bridge, but the floods last spring carried it down*to Now Orleans, and mayhap it is now doing duty across some bayou in Lousiana. Fremont'has the nearcst bridgn, South Bend the only Ferry, and that is not always running, and the difficulties of the Plattsmouth route are as great to-day as ever. A STONE PIER BRIDGE TO SPAN THE PLATTE 18 demanded by the thousands of peo- ple of Cass and adjoining coun- ties, who want to bring loads of hogs, oggs, butter, poultry or drive their ¥iva stock to the Omaha wmarket. 1t is demanded, or should be, by every merchant, grain buyer and asteck dealer of Omaha. South Bend will contribute liberally towards a free bridge of a substantial character, but if Omaha wunts the trade of South Platte farmers she can ot it by a trifling in aid of this pro- ject., The people here can't build tor they have not the money. Inttsmouth dor’t want o bridge for she wants all this trade to como to her, and Ashland feels much the same “'%ho ferry is now running, but it costs lomet.hinf to cross by it, and it is subject to allthe troubles that fer- ries are liable to. Twenty-five teams, en route for the state fair, were turned back one morn- ing at South Bend because the ferry was not running, and hundreds stayed at home who would have gone but for the Platte river. Tt is about twenty ‘miles from South Bend to Omaha by wagon road, and if the Platte river was bridged at this point it is enfo to say that the profits on the business that would be done by Omahn with tho South Platte country would in- — i BRIDGING THE PLATTE. loss than a yoar ago_and they are now controlling a splendid trade.

When no one can remember what he did at Chicka- Mauga, what his position was on the turreney question, or how he came to be nominated at Chicago; hisbeauti- ful home rolations and his heroic de- meanor during the final illness will endure in vivid outlines. The more we have learned of the late Presidont’s personality the high- er wo have come to appreciato his die- position. He was an American through and through, without vanity or arrogance, We were speaking this morning with an old acquaintance of the Garfiold tamily touching these matters. Mrs. C. Briggs, an Ohioan by birth, is now in Albany on her way to Washington, where she will be a witness in the trial of Guiteau. Long vears ago this lady knew James and imnru!ia when they were lovers to- gothor. When the assassin did his work sho happened to stand only afow foet distant. Of course, much that she has nid to us respecting that awful tragedy it would bo indisoreet to put in print at this time; bnt no objection has boen suggested against writing of a fow points about which our readers may properly hear, and concerning which we know thoy have not tired of hearing. The lady of whom wo speak was & nurse attached to the Unionarm; dur- ing the war. Sheisa widow. hen a young girl she taught school with Mrs., Garfield, at Ravenna, Portage county, _ Ohio. teaching? done by the lato President’s wife, and she used to lodge and board with, Mrs. Brigge, Both were men- bors of tho,Disciples’ Church. James at this timé was boarding with Lucre- tin's father, and frequently visited his swootheart, Ho was then a Disciples' greuhur‘ This society has many ranches in the West, and in each district it is the custom to hold yearly meetings during August iu the open air—usually in the woods. One time that Mrs. Briggs remembers well, James came to the houso with Lucre- tin's father's horse and buggy—an old fashioned thing—and the two drove out to & grove on the outskirts of Oloveland, whero u Disciple's meeting wasin progress. James l']mt day made an eloquent plea for the cautc of Ohrist. One trifling incident of the teip was that among the crowd in the woods the President to be lost his hat, and had to go back home without one, a8 his head - was so large no nocessible storo ‘could supply a sufticiently capa- cious chapeau. Tt may be a wise thing for fathers and mothers to keep in mind the fact that at this poriod James was quite awkward and unpainly. He and Lu- cretia had their pictures taken sitting side by side during those Ravenna days, and while the young woman's face looks vivacious and pretty, that off the young man is what most girls would call “homely.” We feel bound to say, in passing, that somehow the neat-looking young men do not, as & rule, wear well. ~After James had graduated at Williams, ho went back to Oleveland to preach, and Lucretia crease » hundred fold, and in two years more than pay tho cost of this stone pior bridge. A ROCKY BOTTOM extends across the Platte at South Bend, and bed rock is only about twenty foet below high water mark. The banks on either sido are above overflow, and the roads are superb all the way into Omaha. Stout, the stone contractor, wants o put in a toll bridge, but the people want it to be free, and this winter a long pull, a strong pul, and a pull all together wil'l bo made to accomplish this object, and if Omaha merchants will ‘help a little there is no doubt that it will be suc- cossful. Vast sums have beon ox- mnded in bridging the Platte by little wns along the Union Pacific. Surely metropolitan Omaha can afford to doa little better and save money in the hfl run by helping South Bend to build a solid structure of stone. The quarries right on the spot make this practicable, and the cost will not be great, owing to the narrowness of the channel at this point. . . THE TOWN of South Bend is a thriving place of two hundr.d and fifty inhabitants, Jwith grain trade that is second to no town between Plattsmouth and Ash- 1and, snd has a olass of citizens that any city might well be proud of; they are full of energy, intelligance and enterpriso, When this bridge is built is no doubt that the population will be more than quadrupled in a fow years thereafter. [ AHE LAND S that is bihuurg' here is the garden of Nebraska, yielding a return for toil bestowed that}has made the farmers wealthy. THE PEOPLE. Mr. Charles H. Dill, whose elegant and spacious mansion overlooks the valley, has farms and lois by the dozen and to him I would refor all who wish to learn more of South Bend. There is a lively fight going on for the Cass county treasuryship, or, rather there was, but at present the matter is very ono sided, the demo- crats having conceded the election to that staunch republican, Mr. W. H. Newell, of Plawtsmouth. The grain trade is steadily incroas- X Mr. E. E. Day has ample fa- {or transacting this business in the best manner. He has also an ex- tensive stock of goneral merchandise. T, W, has recently orected » ment and furniture H. & Bons staried here hlfi' M'm and clothing business went to the same city to resume her teaching. Mrs. Briges has o boy at Williams, and ou the fatal July 2nd, she went to the Baltimore & Potomac dopot in Washington, to seo_the President as ho left the city. It is one of those trifles referred to mbove as marking General Garfield’s unostentatious character. that this old friend should hive felt at liberty to walk down to the depot, as she did, with a request to the Chief Executive of the Nation thathe should carry along a package to her lad at college. Most public men in Garfield’s place would have let it be known emphatically that they could not suffer such importunities. But in this case it happened that the Prosident would not be asked to take the commission. Mra, Briggs reached the depot about fifteen minutes before the train was to start. She thought showould utalizo the interim by tak- ing o look at the Preeidential car, and for that object the gate-keeper let her pass. After glancing at the coach, she walked back to meet the Presidenf, bundle in hand, Just as sho entered one door of the waiting room, Gar- field, armin arm with Blaine, entered the other. The President walked toward her and she toward him and Blaine, when, as thoy had almost met nnd_ sho was about to extend her hand, [ pistol shot startled everybody, and in another instant, another shot fol- lowed the first. Mrs, Briggs saw the socond distinetly and then saw Guit- oau turn and run, She walked to where the President fell, and heard him say, “‘Send for my wife.” Harry stood near by; James went to the window and commenced to ory. The witness also heard Guiteau's boast that he was a “‘stalwart,” although it has been denied that he made such o noblest sons. May his feet walk the streets of the New Jerusalem forever. —_— FREE OF COST.

He was a republican from the start, and has never for a moment since flinched from his fidelity to that party and its candidate. He was really 2 practiced stnmper long before he was old enough to vote. About that time he commenced writing for the news- papers—always over his proper signa- ture of J. M. Dalzell. He worked his way along at_college and reached the Junior year in Washington college, Pennsylvania, in July, 186 when he enlisted as n private soldier m Com- Knuy H, 116th Ohio. There ho sorved onorably until the close of the war Soon after hisjenlistment he began to write over the familiar non de plume of “Privato Dalzell,” as o kind of practical joke on the then provalent custom of parading military titles in the papers, He has continued that ever einco. He never asked or receives a cent for anything contributed to the sress. 1t was alla labor of love, and ho wrete as he pleased, when he plensed; what he pleased, to whom he leased, free as mountain air. His habit has always been to have some hero on )mnX, and to keep writing him up assiduously in season and out of season. His hero never et was known to fail. He has never abused anybody. His idea of the best way to oppose, a worthless man is to let him alone. He has always said a good word tor a man, or nothing., If there be any malico, envy, spleen or ill will in him he is probably not con- geious of it, for certain it is that no trace of it can be tound in any of his letters, covering nearly a quarter ofa century. 5 Tu 1806 he was Deputy Clerk of the court in his county, but at the sug- gestion of Hon. John A. Bingham, then congressman for Dalzell’'s dis- trict, he went to Washington City to study law in the Columbia college. He remained thero two years, gradu- ating with honor in aclass ot over & hundred, in 1868, and yroturning to Caldwell opened a law office and bo- gan the practice of the law. He was soon after chosen prosecuting attorn- remark. Thus fell one of America's | ey, snd served one term in that capac- ity, closing all the dram shops in his county before he rotired. Resuming the general practico of tho law, he was fast rising to prominence as & lawyer, when in 1876 he was chosen reprenentative inthe Ohio Legislatnre and re-elected in 1877. While thero, during both terms he was placed on the committee on the judicary in re- cognition of his standing as a lawyer. He was very active in the Hayes campaigns of 1875 and 1876, and his correspondenco with reference to that is familiar to all newspaper readers. For many years past he has been in- vited to nlf arta of the country as a stumper, and made a long campaign in Indiana last year with Fred. Doug- las. He has also frequently spoken in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. He is a fair political apeaker, and yet it can not besaid that there is anything beside his ordls- inality peculiar about his speeches. Ho makes his own speeches—in his own way, aud imitates nobody. Gen- oral Garfield was particularly friendly to him for many years past, and it he had lived, would have appointed him to somo important oftice. This much 1 know, for I have scen it in Garfield’s own hand writing. They often stumped together, and their corres- pondence by letter covers, ns I am as- sured the last fourteen years of Gar- field’s wonderful career, down to the very night before he was shot. His lotters from all of the great men of the day—thousands of remarkable let- ters—form one of the'most valuable collections of the sort ever received by one man. But that subject is fa- miliar to all your readors, and here 1 closo my hasty sketch of o man whom 1 have known for over a quarter of & century, and whom I have learned to love a8 & brother. Ho is happy inhis family relations, rich in pleassnt memories, respectable in his profess- ion of'the law, roliable and in\lolnon\]- ent and.truthful as a newspaper cor- respondent, fears no man or set of men owns himself and all he is, and, though poor of purse, he has quali- ties that he, at any rate, would not exchange for gold, or' that all the woalth of the Indies could not pur- chase, Ecce.
