\ p—— OLD OTOE. The Ancient County of the State of Nebraska. A Done Up by tbe Jaunty Young Road Agent of This Paper A Number of Lively Towns, but the Liveliest of hese is Nebraska City. Matters and Things in the County in General Correspondence of The Bee NunraskA City, Neb,, Janvary 16 Otoe county, of which this city is the county seat, is one of the oldest and most finely improved countics in the state; it represents a great deal of taxable wealth, and a good many very comfortably circumstanced citizens. Entering the county from the west, sn the Nebraska railway, the first town we strike is Palmyra, a bright little town of about 300 inhabitants. We stop here over night and get two one room are and automatical apparatus for the more advanced classes. In this de- partment we found various applianes o object teaching, and a library, which is constantly being enlarged. We were shown of the manufactured articles which are for sale those made by the gitls. They consiat of speci- mens of bead work, knit fancy work, and stitching, which any lady who can see might be proud to execute, how much more #o than these chil- dren whose whole lives are shrouded in darkness, The whole number of pupils in at. tendance at the present time is twen- ty-reven, of which the majority are females. Their ages range from ten to twenty-two years, and they are, as a class, o very intelligent wet of pupils. One boy of about fit- teen years, read for us in a chapter of proverbs, which he rendered well and as rapidly as any ordinary reader. He was totally blind, being born with- out eyeballs. The institute is well managed, and reflects great credit upon tne princi- pal and teachers, w ose work is of a very trying and delicate nature; un- der their thucipline, the people are all cheerful and happy. We haa the pleasure of examining the first number of the first paper ublished in the territory of Nebras- a, tho other day. It was called the ‘‘Nebraska Palladium,” and was ed- ited and published by Sterling Mor- good wmeals, and are furnished with the best feather bed the house affords, the excellencics of which, however, we failed to appreciate, as feather beds, 1 according to our idea, were only in- tended for the ancionts, and at the present day ought to be totally abolished. There is at this point an excellent school, and it is well attended, under the care!ul supervision of a principal and “wo assistants. About seven miles east of Palmyra we strike Unadilla, which is very like it in physical appearance. Both are surrounded by unexceptionally fino agricultural regions and both are the centers of a good trade. In neither town are the buildings auything to boast of, except the ele vators, which in both are good; both places need sidewalks badly; in Pal- myra an effort is being made to build the more necessary ones. Five miles farther cast brings us to Syracuse, whose worst need is a goorl hotel. Thisis a town of about 800 people and is really an enterprising place. You will find its bhusiness directory clsewhere. Tt is near the center of the county, and will, proba bly at some time. be the county se At present the Nebraska City Nows and Syracuse Journal are having o red hot time and throwing a good deal of cold (not too ocold) talk at each other; they seem to have forgotton that quotation from Scripture—I for- get now, but think it is something about piling coals on somebody’s head It is all about the county printing, which it seoms was awarded to the Journal against the expressed wish of the News, who trusts that the county commissioners will use judgment enough in this matter to compel the one-horse country print shop to givea bond, ete., to which the Journal retorts by saying that to possess ton and Thomas Morton, Bellevue, N. T., Nov. 16th, 1854, It conteins the names of all he persons present in the office on the day of publication, which included half a dozen of the eading men at that time engaged in territorial politics, also the governor of the territory. It is really a curi- omity. ’l'iu people here are somewhat ex- cited over the prospects of a_bridge across the Missouri, at this point, but to my mind the chances for it in the near future seem to be decidedly slim. SCRIBBLER, A BAMPSON OF THE WEST. How He Can Handle an Ox ns Easily as Other Men Handle Kittens, Boone, lowa Standard. Jonas Johuson, or “Big Jouas,” is the Golinh of this region, and some of tne stories of Lis str h and en- durance sound fabulous. In 1858 he gained a national reputation by walk- iy from Hlinois to California, push- ing his provisions be him ina wheelt w. He was living in Knox county, Illinois, when the gold fever swept over the country, and being in the early twenties of his life was fired with an ambition to join the Argo- nauts. He was imperfectly scquaint- ed with Eaglish, and had but 10 in cash, 80 he walked across Ilinois and lowa to Omaha, making the distance in two weeks, Thero he bought a whoalbarrow and laid in a stock of provisions, With these, on the 1ath day of April he pushed boldly our, and ninety days thereafter e *‘land: ed” sately at the diggings, some fifty miles northeast of Sacremento, the first successful placer mines. Here he went to work in the same inde- pendent way he made the journey— alone—and was successful. He was able to earn from 810 to $20 per day, aceording to the number of hours he put in, A year satistied him, and with & bag well filled with ‘‘dust” he the truthfulness and manly qualities which it (The Journal) possesses, and to result in average health, happiness and prosperity, The News outfit would have to be born again; and that they (The News outfit) were never intended by nature, intellect, experience, or the command of facilities to do county printing, and advises them to take medicine “to ward off impending dis- asters to minds and bodies, and check that insane delusion and feeling of irreverence and awe struck projudico for country iustitu'ions. ’ The whole argument on both sides is bluo with suppressed profanity, and in vory jocularly referred to by other papora in the vicinity. Entering Nobraska City from the west we soon find ourselves on the banks of the Missouri river, which here, as elsewhere, has a total disre- gard for banks, andpursues whatever course happens to suit its pleasurc though it usually keeps near I%m cuty, a8 the inhabitants need the waterto drink since the Slocumb law shut up so many of the saloons At the dopot we encounter an original character, in the person of the runner for the Grand Central Hotel, popular- ly called Fatty, who, in his line is a porfect success. He is indescribable, but if any one reading this should ever visit Nobraska City, wo would advise them to observe him at his work, and we are ocertain they will agree with us in calling him a ge nius in his lyin’ (line). Through the kindness of some of the young gentlemen of this aty, your correspondent, together with the correspondent of the Omala !{t?|)||hlicn|:, were invited to “‘take in” a wselect dance, given by the club wiich exists here. The It publican” man being « family man and like his paper feeling unwell on ac count of his cireulation (or lack of it), respectfully declined, but we could not resist, so wo did not try, and pro coeded to trip our “light fantastic” brogaus, to the great amusement of the company present, who were ac- complished dancers, uud who regarded our efforts in that | a8 the anti- quated relios of fomsilized ignorance on the subject. Still we had a good time and met with as pleasant a socioty of young people as it has been our good fortune to meet. This city is enjoying a great deal of pmlperlt{j, much more than most towns. Business scems lively, and the merchunts and others report 1 money in circulaton than usual this tio 0 of 1he sear, One man here, on whom we called, expressed it as his opinion that news. r men were all d—-qa dead beats. e diugree with him of course, as the assertion was too sweeping in its nature, but he adhered to his opinion, though explainiug that nothing per- sonal was intended. The Blind institute of the state of Nebraska is situated here. We visited it on Suuday, January 16, and were very pleasantly received by Mr. J. B, Parmelee, the energetic and efficiont superintendent. We ought not to have called there on that day, but it was the only time we could s We were shown the practical worl returned, by way of Panama and New York, to his former home in Illinvis. His feats of strength are no less re- markable. About twenty ycars ago he fodnd & cow in’'no uncommon pre- dicament in those days, mired in a slough, A team of horses, planted on firm ground, had proved unable to draw her from the mire, whereupon Jonas, laying down some boards to give a good footing, lifted her bodily out of the swamp, and seizing her by the horns, dragged her to firm ground, At another time his wagon loaded with hay became mired down, and the horses failed to extricate it. Jonas got impatient, and gomg to the rear st he oAt pushed it for ward to better ground, making a litt which is moderately estimated at not less than 1,300 pounds, and performed under unfavorable conditions. He is now a hale, ruddy faced man of fifty- ecight years, located on a fine farm of 120 acres, in Boone and Hamilton counties, well stocked and improved, bosides being the fortunate owner of two others, 160 and 120 acres re- spectively. He was born in Sweden, was twenty-two years old when he came to America, and has been a resi- dent of this county for twenty-three years, He stands 6 foot 2 inches in his stockings, and tips the beam at 246 pounds. A No. 12 boot accomo- dates his foot, and his hand is that of A giant, Popularity.

Tho time was not many years ago when plants grown in har 3 pots were a rarity. A window ina plain room now scarcoly looks com- plete without o hanging basket filled with plants, and many who do not pretend to cultivate tlowers oxtensive- ly will have at least one such basket, The important problem for the cul- tivator is what varieties ave best to sclect. I haveo had success with the money plant, called by some bride's myrtle, I commenced with a small slip, planted it ina two quart can, and after a few branches had grown I ont them off, placing thew in the varth, aud again after | brunchies had rooted 1 allowed 1] to grow until they had come (o e bottom of the can.” Then each end was nipped off and branching was commenced, and its appearance was very gratifying. Kvery day it was showered and waterod, and this is about all the care hanging baskoets need. The soil in which this plant is grown should not be stirved at allafter the plant gets woll started, aus it breuks the runuing roots that shéot out ou the branches. I'he wandering jew or tradascantia is generally a favorite, yet some think it too common to cultivate, but those who are acquainted with its merits cannot help admitting that it is of casy culture, only requiring pleuty of of the institute in the teaching lin Everything is in first-class order, In water, One reason it is liked is bo- cause it grows 80 well in the shade the philosophical I'HE OMAHA DAILY and is nice to plant in little wall pockets hung behind pictures. The German or ivy plant is an excollent hanging pot plant, if kept pinched off #0 a8 to grow bushy and thick, This grows well in sun or shade, Fora hanging basket in a north window mothing 18 better than Kenilworth ivy. The reason some do net succeed in growing it is because they hang the plant where the sun shines on it, which is apt to make the plant go to seed, and it soon runs out, The Chinese strawberry, which bears its little fruit, is a great favor- ite with many. The amilax has been and always will be a great favorite, The ivy geraniums are beoming quite popular now, as well should be. Holly wreath, having light rose flowers in large clusters, the leaves of the plant being green with a broad yellow margin, is my favorite of all the ivy geraniums, Morning glories have been recom mended for hanging baskets, but somehow they always seemed out of place to me in the house, Nustur tiums growing in baskets in the house with their handsome flowers, look very attractive. Nice plants for bskets aro the dif- ferent kinds of oxalis, Tt is not al- ways we value the rarest plant the most, but generally the one that with fair treatment b the most flowers, and one of thes the pink oxalis. 1t has afforded me much pleasure At one time it was one of the few hanging plants that were in blcom, and 1t continued for wecks to throw out its pretty flowers. A nice way to row basket plants is to have one fiind in a pot, and when the branches huve got a few feet long tie under the pot, then divide the branches in two, and tie again in the shape of a wreath. Cobea scandens is always admired as a basket plant, and 1s beautiful bill shaped flowers add much to its beauty. A novel hanging basket T once made in the following way: A wire basket was lined with moss, filled with good soil, and a board was tied on over the top of the basket to keep the soil in. It was turned upside down and rovted. Cuttings of differ- ent colored bloom of portulaccawere pinced here and there in the moss. After they ha well started the board was taken off and wandering jow was planted in the top, and for weoks the portulacca grew and bloowed. Some ferns and lypocodi- um are nice for baskets for a shaded window. Basket plants, of all others, should grow luxuriantly, as they seem more exposed than plants which are placed on a stand or on window shelves. Plants sus led in the windows dry ont faster and require moro water than shelf plants, If the plant. are dipped in a pail of luke warm water every other day the foliage will be kept green, and this a very casy way of watering them. If you have not a hanging basket, can you not draw hints from the above article and se- oure one or more! FARMERS AND MECHANICS, If you wish to avoid great danger and trouble, besides & no small bill of expense, at this season of the year, you should take prompt steps to keep disease from your household. The system should be cleansed, blood purified, stomach and bowels regula- ted, and prevent and cure diseases arising from spring malaria. We know of nothing that will so perfectiy and surely do this as Electric Bitters, and at the trifling cost of fifty cent a bot: tle. [Exchange. 8old by Tsh & McMahon. 7 THE KENDALL PLAITING MACHINE!
