Its Towns, Farming Interests, and Faoilities, espondence of i Brk. Your correspondent left Blair (of which he has already made mention), skipped the thriving city of Fremont and found himself in the pictureque little town of NICKERSON, This town consists of a mammoth elevator and hog yards owned by Mr. Wilson, of Fremont, and under the able management of R. B. Schmeder they do a tredendous trade, which is bringing the town into notice. The postoftice and station business is con- trolled ably by O. B. Rippey assisted by his both affable aad beautiful sis- ter, Miss Libbie Rippey. This at resent is all of the business part of ickerson. The great need of a general store to supply the wants of the sur- rounding farmers will soon be sup- plied, for in a few weeks there will be such a store opened by 0. B Rip- pey and a young man who is so bash ful he does not want to seo his name in print., Also, you might add a blacksmith shop, “and then I think this town will at once make a differ- ent showing. The farming country around it is superb and all it needs is a push and the ball will keep rolling. Next in line I came upon HOOPER, which loomed upon my vision a bust- ling business town of many stores, two grain elevators and cattlo yards. If time and space were not limited I could speak for some time of Hooper, but suflice it to say they do an im- merge trade and all take Tur Bre, therefore being happy and prosperous, with a bright future ahead of them, ~ SCRIBNER, Having stopped at this town only a few minutes I can only speak from a rapid glance and a hasty hand shake with numerous friends. = Serib- ner is on the boom, making money rapidly and expect big returns for labor réndered, which in all cases they receive, no one, it is said, bei g idle in or around the town who desire work at fair wages. Next in order comes WEST POINT, This is where the noblo Valentine when worn out by hic arduous duties at Washington comes to recuperate his wasted strongth and where in his massive mind he imagines this to be his freehold as well as stronghold; but let us warn the chairman of the agri- cultural committee that The Bee has been to work and has sown seeds of discord among his brethren, causing them to rise in their might and put down his and hisjboss's (the;Union Pa- cific) deapotic rule and “trample it under foot. WISNER ‘|next appears on the scene with its tine stores and good hotel. This is a good business point but appears to the untutored eye, as I suppose mine is, to lock energy in all branches but in the selling of liquors. This busi- ness is carried on_ with the greatest amount of vim and enterprise. The next town of any size is STANTON, which, although I was there only for a short time, yet T can see that they mean business, They have recovered from the effects of the cyclone, and are building rapidly. On the old hotel site now stands aspretty a little hotel as is in Nebraska, under the management of J. L. Avery, the sta- n agent, and it is a first-class house i of its appotntments. T wish Stanton well, and hope it may meet with success in the future. Next comes NORFOLK This point is destined to be a town of importance, having now three rail- roads centering in it, It promises to to be a good wholesale center, and also has fine facilities for manufactur- ing. Inam prophgt enough to see a bright future in~ store for it. Ial- most forgot to mention friend Harvey of the Norfolk Junction house. He has one of the best houses anywhere on the road. Next in order are Battle Oreek, Burnett and, Oakdale, which are all small thriving towns with good farm- ing country around them, and there- fere drawing them a good trade, and by this keeping the merchants all good natured and lzaving their minds free from trouble, so that when the day's work is done they can sit down by the fireside and read in comfort The Oymana Bee, NELIGH, This is the most prominent town west of Norfolk, doing a large trade, having fine banking facilities and good hotels, Tt is, in fact, in all points, a live, energetic business point and in all respects is « Bee town, everyone, On River Bank, Bet.

CREIGHTON. This also is a new town, but is quite large and still growing. It has a fine trade and good facilities of advance- ment and growth, Tts merchants are pushing young men and cannot help prospering. There are two good hotels at this point, both of which have all they can do. This is the terminus of the Niobrara branch, We left Croigh- ton by stage, passing through the thriving little village of DAZILE MILLS. Tlhis town has a trade that is sur- priging for so small a town. It is said that one firm here alone, Messrs, Brooks Bros , docs $00,000 worth of business yearly, This very plainly tolls what a magnificent farming coun- try this part of Nebraska must be. The next important point reached is NIOBRARA, This town your correspondent did not have a very good chance of sesing to good advantage, as they are mov- ing upon higher ground about two miles from the old site. But from all that could be seen it is doing a hig trade and is in a prosperous condition, and the majority of the inhabitants in all cases read Tne Bee. In closing let me say that never in my experience have I more enjoyed a trip than this, owing entirely to the cordiality and friendship of all the residents along this road. They know Tne Bee and appreciate its worth, and therefore treat its representatives with all kindness. If this should reachthe eye of any contemplating a change of home let me advise them to come here for a warm welcome and fine land at a low figure; in fuct it is as is said, ‘A free home for the million,” Purox.

Bek. Having briefly sketched the town The Mammouth Manufacturing Industries of Pittsburg—Char- acteristics of the People. Correspondence of The Omaha Bee. Prrrssura, Pa., February 9.— This-city is built between the hills, on the hills and under the hills. It is a wealthy city. The assessed valuation of real and personal property for this year will be closa to the enormons amount of one hundred millions of dollars. Yet the taxes are high. It has 36 wards, and 180 policemen. It did have 220, buc now only180. Their salary is the miserable pittance of $2 a day, and they furnish their own suits—pants about $10, coats $25 each. They should get not less than $76 to $100 per month, Itis a disa- greeable job at best, besides the con- stant danger of being killed, These iron and glass men, when drunk, are not easy to handle. The mayor gets $6,000 from the city and $1,000 from the county per year. He appoints deputy mayors. There are now five aldermen acting as such; one in Kast Liberty, one in Penn and three in Burmingham, south side of Mon- ongahelia river, They onlyget fees for warrants issued, nothing for cases brought before them. IT 18 AfWELL GOVERNED CITY, FEBRUARY I: It is a dizzy ride up, up 600 or 700 feot, all in one and a half minutes for five conts, Mounts Olivet and Washington are reached that way. Shedid not court 80 successfully her northern neigh bors. As there is only the river be- tween Pittsburg aud Allegheny City, which has 80,000 people—a_beautiful city if only alittle farther off from the immense volumes of Pittsburg smoke. Pittsburg tries hard to TURN DAY INTO NIGHT, and sho cortainly does not fail to annoy many good people. The writer has seen it several days this winter when he could not soe one block ahead, and as tor seeing the hills it is utterly impossiblo on a rainy day, or when the atmosphere is 80 heavy as to keep the smoke of the thousands of smoke stacks and chim- noys low down. Yet, with all of its local disadvantages, it is a gonuine representative of Amorican energy and mechanical skill. If the United States will ever be known in the re- mote future it will be as the best man- ufacturing nation allowed to oxist by the laws of God or man. THE FUTURE of these United States ns a producor, of breadstutfs and manufacturer of all the articles required, by our aystem of civilization is beyond the power of any man to properly estimate. America wus reserved by the God of Nature to bring forth a better class of man and through Yankee ideas to educate all mankind to seck after more happiness and larger individual independence. The winter here has been very open and warm with considerable rain and little suow, Thinge are as high here as in Mis- souri, Towa or Nebraska, where they have railroad communication. Trans- portation is the vital question for the near future, and not so much the crop. Railroads have destroyed dis- tance. The boatmen have plenty of water here this season; no ice on the rivers, only some floating snow and slush, but there is plenty of timo be- fore May day to have ice houses well filled. The Ohio river commences within the city limits of Pittsburg, and is formed out of Allegheny and Monongahela, ERE ARE NINE BRIDGES those streams, all toll, and are paying large interest on the cost. The length of them is from 850 feet to 1,200 feet. The Point bridge is the largest, and cost nearly 500,000, Federal street bridge is 1,087 feet, and cost about $300,000, and pay fifteen (15) per cent net on cost. There are two more to be built, All have double car and wagon tracks, with a steady etroum of man and beast day and night. Tolls are light; foot passengers one cent on all except two. The Point bridge is 76} feet hgher than low water. Thoriver was 28] feot high on June 10th, 1881, whicn left still 48 feet for boats to go under the bridge. Some days this week there was from 22 to 24 feet of water in the river. Some boats get damaged by the bridges. The tonnage of Pitts- burg is equal if not more than New Yori city. Pittsburg is like Chicago. There ara only two such cities in all the world, They should be seen to notice their several specialities; both true types of Yankee energy, push and pluck, and true models in their several spheres.

Boston Herald, An item in the cablegrams apropos the taking of the Italian census is so worded as to mislead the reader un- familiar with papal court, says the Philadelphia Times. ““Of 5,000 per- sons inhabiting the Vatican,” says the item,one-third are women. The Vat- ican, it should be remembered,is not only tho papal palace—it is, since the entrance of the Italian force, the pa- al city as well as the papal court. n its 8,000 apartments are lodged the lay as woll as the clerical adjuncts of the Pope’s government. On the ground is & barrick of 500 or more pontifical guards, These, in some cases, have their wives; all the officers have their when you consider one mayor and five deputies and 180 police looking after the best interests of life and property for a city of nearly 170,000 people, with its enormous iron, steel and coal and coke interests, employing regi- ments of men, The American Iron company, on the South Side, employ about 4,000 men, skilied and unskilled laborers. A large number of the mills employ from 400 to 1,500 men boys. Itisa wonderful industry, this iron and steel. It requires about one hundred million of dollars to carry it on in this immediate vicinity, Coal and coke business, including land, machinery and flects of water ts, to handle it, takes about the samo amount, or more, of ready cash, Some companics here uso and control ten millions of money. Some go after the black diamonds from three to seven miles under the hills, and run it out and down incline roads, Itvis dirty work, with much money it. Coal sells here in small lots dearer than in Cin- cinnati or St. Louis. I have seen it sell in the yards here for ten cents per bushel, Certain classes of iron and steel goods, made in Pittsburg, can be pur- chased of retail merchants in New York, Philadelphia; Cincinnati or St. Lovis, or Chicago, cheaper than the same line of goods can be purchased here from merchants adjoining the great works which produce them. THE GLASS INDUSTRY gives employment to a large number of men and boys. Al kinds of glass ware, and even elastic ware for la- dies, . is manufactured on the south side, It was a real pleasure for the writer to see the different goods made, Tt is estimated that sixty mil- lions of dollars are invested in the ‘(lun industry. The old city of Pitts- burg was formerly confined between the Allegheny and Monongahela riy- ers, but her restless ambition and in- dustry was not fully satisfied—she in- duced several adjoining small cities to partake of her municipal ms- ery and joy, as it might afterwards prove. There are three very steep inchne ways used for passengers to assend up the hills 400 to 600 feet, from the valley of the Monongahela. wives, The Vatican is built for a third of a mile on the side of the old hill of Janiculum;jas a cousequence its lower, or basement portion, is far above the ground on the front looking toward the Tiber. In the upper apartments, reached by at least fifty steps, are the vast statuary museums; above these again the paintings, To reach the vast stretch of apartments whabited by the Pope, long flights of broad marble stairs, at least 100 in number, must be asceaded, The Sis- tine Chapel itself, with its wonderous “‘Day of Judgement,” by Michael An- gelo and the frescoes of Rafael, is fully 100 feet ubove the street level at the entrance of the palace. Scores of women are kept constantly employ- ed in the endless suites of art galler- ies, libraries, kitchen and whatnots necessary for the maintenance of such an army of people, 8o that the propor- tion of one-third women to 500 re- tainers by no means corresponds with the bald and disingenuous cable item seem to inply, . 1682, 1 e S, Special Attention Is Once More Called to the Fact tha M.
