The Weather in Western Nebraska, While many imagine that we are hav- ing dull times in Omaha, it is learned that the receipts by rail at this point are tor than ever before. Yardmaster more has all that he and his force can possibly attend to. Ho has sevon switch- engines at work all the time by day and co of for- five by night, employing a fo switchmen and assistants numbering ty-five. Among the departmaent may be mentioned that this the about important items in Union eleyators are receiving forty cars of grain per day. This grain is not being shipped out but stored away in the elevators. There is also a large amount of ¢ coming in, about fifty cars per day from the company’s mines and the same amount from the east, in all about 1,600 tons per day. The stock season is near over, and it is learned by inquiry that the run this year is not so heavy by 1,000 cars as it was Jast_year, a falling off in shipments of 20,000 head. In 1881 there were re ceived at this point 160,000 head; in 1882, 180,000, The Union Pacitic is really doing a tre- mendous business both i _passenger and freight traflic, cxceeding that of any pre- vious year at the same season. They send out each day eight freight trains, averaging twenty-live car loads cach, or 200 cars; 30,000 tons in s The local business alone, outside of coal, stone and grain, averages fifty cars perday. The arrival of household goods alone averages ten cars per day, and the receipts of potatoes tive cars, or 1,600 bushel The Nail Works, at present is receiv- ing about 100 cars of old iron to work up and the Smelting Works is doing an enor- mous business, An average of 400 cars per day, is received, much of which is taken up from the branches. This does not look much asif there were hard times in the country. THE WEATHER. The train men and passengers on the trains from the north and west reported that a severe snow storm was in progress at Hastings, and at Central City as they left those places. It was reported that a heavy snow storm continued nearly all night at Central City, and that the snow was six inches deep at that place. 1t was also reported that the snow was deep at both Kearney and Hastings. The Journal man sought the telegraph headquarters at _the depot for reliable information, and found that the statements of the passengers inter- viewed had all been marked by a greater or less degree of exuberancy. lieports of agents to headquarters state thatabout three inches of snow fell near Hastings and Kearney, while the fall at Central City was considerably lighter, and ex- tended about down to Aurora. There was 1o snow reported on the A. & N., nor on the main line from Red Cloud to Table Ru State Journal. There is deep snow along the main line as far out as Ogallala,and four inches on the ground at Albion, Such weather as we are now having has never been known before in N ska. A gentleman whe has lived in Nebraska for the past twenty-five years, says ho has known iv to freeze, snow and blow for days at a stretch, at this season of the year, but he has never been obliged to wade through a sea of mud for 8o long a time before. The Missouri Pacific now brings in about thirty loaded cars daily and the Union Pacific trains sent west are made up of solid loads for Denver, Salt Lake and California. —— - PEiiSONAL, Mr, C. ¥.

Cuckoo, —— A Colored Urator's Advice, A well-know ‘‘character” in a town in Alabama recently delivered a lecture to his colored brethren, in the course of which he said: ““Yes, my bredren an’ sisters, you is dun sot free, and I'se gwine now fur to show you as how you must duct an’ have yoursets so dat _yo will be zamples to de wholo worl'. Inde fust place, L say carry a high head an’ stiff neck, kase yo' is o chozen people, an’ let de white fo'ks know as how you is as good ag dey if yo' sken is sorter dark and yor hair kinky. Right hiar I brings in annudder proof— and dat’s de way o lecture man makes his pint. Ain't it de aim of de white women now a days fur to make dar har kink, an’ kase it don't dey have fur to screw it up in papers and har-pins and iron it, tou? 1 tell yo' my frens, de time ain’t fur off when I spects to see our chilluns cut de shine offen de white nation, and 1 hopes as you will member dat de Bible says as how ‘you mus turn good for evil. ~But time is pressus, as I hearn a gemmen suy, and D'se got annudder pint to lay afore dis cultivated hodience. Dar is one charge which is brung up agin our race which is pintedly wrong, and dat is dis. When we picks up de thing what Lord lays in our paths, de white folks says we steals, Now, bredern, when de good Lord provides dese things for you, you ain’t in no wise stealin’, ‘cas you is yarn- ing dem by de sweat of your brow. ~Aint He dun say sol Now, mind you I ain't tell you for to break open de doors an’ de locks, but 1 says when dey is laid right afore you pick ‘em up. Den, agen, when you is libin’ wid Massa Bob, I ain’t 0 you for to go to Massa John'’s and kill his hogs, kase what's de use when Bob has got hegs and you is a-workin’ fur dem same hogs! Derefore, bredern, I says be uprite and jest, and don’c steal from no- body, but jes take what de Lord provides for Iis people. “*Dar 1s annudder matter we is ntoed for, beatin’ our wives. Now, darde Scriptur cums in agin. De good book says: ‘Husbands, keep your wives in submission.” And how is you gwine to dat thing! Why, beat 'em to be sure, ‘case dey needs it.

So I''viges you all to do your duty and keep de women in hard.” Mayne Reid in the Mexican War, J. 0. Trowbridge, in 8t. Nicholas for November, The Castle of Chapultepec, comwand- ing the great road to Mexico,was success- fully stormed by our troops on the 13th of September, 1845, Reid was in command of the grenadier company of New Yerk volunteers and u detachment of United States marines, with orders to guard a battery which Lhur had thrown up. The morning of the 13th was fixed for the assault. The bat- teries were ordered to cease firing at 11 o'clock, and the attack began, Reid and the artillery officers, standing by their guns, watched the advance of the line with intense anxiety, which be- came apprehension when they saw that about half-way up the slope there was a halt ‘I knew,” he says in his account, “that if Chapultepec was not taken, neither would the city be; and failing that, not a man of us might ever leave the valley of Mexico alive,” Asking leave of the senior engineer officer to join the storming party with his men, he obtained it with the word's *‘Gio, and God be with you! He was off at once with his volunteers and marines. After a quick run across the intervening ground, they came up with the storming party under the brow of tho hill, where it had halted to await the scaling ladders. “‘At this point,” says Lieutenant Mar- shall, of the Fifteenth Infantry, *‘the fire from the castle was 80 continuous and fatal thatthe men faltered,and several officers were wounded while urging them on, At this mowent, I noticed Lisutenant Mayne Reid, of the New York Volun- teers; 1 noticed him more particularly at the time on account of che very brilliant uniform he wore, He suddenly jumped arrived in this city | to his feet, and calling upon those around to follow, and without looking around to sco whether he was sustained or not, pushed on almost alone to the very walls.” Reid's action was not quite so reckless as this account of an eye-witness would make it appear. The outer wall of the castlo was commanded by three pieces of cannon on the parapet, which, loaded with grape and canister, fearfully deci mated the ranks of the Americans at every discharge. To advance seomed certain death. But death seemed equally certain whe h rtheas ilantajrctreated or remained where they were. — Such is his own explanation of his conduct ““Men!” he shouted out, in a moment ry lull of the conflict, *if we don't take Chapultepee, the American army is lost! | Lot us charge up the walls Voices answered: “We will charg |any one will lead us!” “We're ready! | “Comeon! Il lead you!” shouted Captain Reid, as ho bravely leaped ove the scarp that had temporarily sheltered them, and made the charge alrendy de seribed, There was no need, he says, to look back toseo if he was followed. He know that his men would not have been there. unless prepaved to go where he led. About halt-way up, he saw tho parapet crowded with Mexican artilerists, on the point of discharging a volley. Ho avoid- ed by throwing himself on his face, re- ceiving only a slight wound in his sword- hand, another shot cutting his clothing, Iu-mml\ on his feet again, he made for the wall in front of which he was brought down by « Mexican ounce-ball tearing through his thigh. All the testimony goes to show that he was first before the wall of Chapultepoo, Ried’s lieutenant, Hypolite Dardonville, young Frenchman, mounte1 the sealing ladders with the foremost, tore down the Mexican flag from its stafl, Before this, however, Ried was obsery- ed by Lioutenant Coc hrane, of the Vol gours, Cochrane was pushing for the tle with his men, when before him, scarcely ten yards from the wall, an ofti- cor of infantry and o comrade were shot and fell. *“They wero the only two at the time,” he says in his statement, ““whom I saw in advance of me on the rock upon which we wero scrambling.” Reaching the wall, Cochrane ordered two men *'to go back a little way and as- sist the ladders up the hill.” As they vassed the spot whero the wounded offi- cor lay, he raised himsolf with evident pain, and sang out above the din and rattle of musketry, imploring the men to stand firm: “‘Don’t leave that wall,” he cried, ‘“‘or wo shall all be cut to pieces. Hold on, and the castle is ours!” Jochrane answered, to “There is 1o danger, leaving this! Never fear!” ders came, the rush was castle foll, “The wounded officer,” Cochrane con- ues, “‘proved to be Lieutenant Mayno Reid, of the New York volunteers.” Lieutenant Marshall, for whom we are indebted for that vivid glimpse of the young officer in *‘his very brilliant uni- form,” describes the effect produced by the exploit,—all those who witnessed or knew of it pronouncing it, *‘without cx- ception, the bravest and most brilliant achievement performed by a_single indi- vidual during the campaign.” ——— if re assure him: Captain, of our Then the lad- made, and the VENGEFUL VANDERVOORT, What the Grand Army Oflicers About His Threat, San Francisco Call, The remarkable threat of Paul Van- dervoort, who was recently dismissed from his position as railway mail clerk, by Postmaster General Gresham, for “ihirking work and disobeying orders” viz: that if he was not immediately rein- stated the Postmaster General “would feel the vengeance of the Grand Army of the RepuLlic,” as stated by a Washing- ton correspondent and published in yes- terday’ Cuall dispatches, was much re- marked upon during the day and evening by members and eflicers of the Gi. A, R. in this city. Several of them were inter- viewed at the Custom House and Post- office with reference to the matter and in response to the inquiries of The Call reporter they all agreed that, albeit Van- dervoort was Past Commander ef their order, his threat was o very imprudent and a very empty one. The general sox- timent seemed to be that the ex-mail clerk’s effort to bulldose the Postmaster General into reinstating him by dragging in the order in which he held an_import- ant office, was very reprchensible, and that they were heartily glad that it had failed utterly of its intended eflect. But, it order to get the bottom facts of Van- dervoort's case, the reporter was advised to call upon a a high officer of the order, and, in fact, the highest upon this coast, who would give him the ‘‘true inward- ness” of the whole matter. Accordingly he proceeded to the place of business of the high official named. He agreed with his comrades in considering Vander- voort's threat an idle and impudent one, but added that it was quite consistent with the reputation he had won for him- self as an arbitrary, overbearing, con- ceited and presumptuous man. He was very unpopular with the officials under him in the mail service on account of these traits inhis character. *‘But how is it to be accounted for that such & man usVandervoort appearsto be sowell select- ed asgrand commander of your order(” 1 will explain that. Until the Grand Encampment at Cincinnati, in 1880, where Vandervoort appeared as n dele gate from Nebraska, he was little known, He ran for the position of grand com- mander then, and was overwhelmingly defeated. From that until the Grand Encampment at Baltimore in 1882, he was whining about his defeat, and strain- ing every nerve to get supporters with some success, But he would not have won at Baltimore had there not been cer- tain dissentions among the order, which it was impossible to reconcile fully; but after four or five ballotings, the Gordian knot was cut by Vandervoort's eleoti He then went to Postmaster: Howe, and through the influence of Sen- ator Logan and others, succeeded in ob- taining & nine-months’ leave of absence with a pass to travel and build up the C A. R.—u leave which he was free to say should never have been granted him. He had ingratiated himself with tho rail- roads through the Union Pacific, and ob- tained free passes on which he jeurneyed here and there, junketing all over the country, At the end of the nine months he represented to Postmaster-Goneral Gresham, who had succeeded Howe, that he had not really finished his work for the Grand Army, and asked for another six wecks' absence. It was granted, without pay, on condition that the affairs of the department should not bo allowed to suffor by his further absence for that length of time. Ho exceeded his time eig! teen days, making no report of him- self to the department, and it was for ay this neglect of duty and apparent indif- ference to the responsibilities of his posi- tion that he was removed, as it seews to ma roperly.” 0 you kuow why the Denver people | B | of its disruption, 1t aro down on Vandervoort, as T am told they aret"” *‘Yes. You know there was a grand exposition gotten up last summer there to whoop up Denver, and the city appro- priated 21,000 for a reception to the Grand Army of the Republic, which was to have its grand encampment there at tho same time in July. There was a do ficit of about 812,000 in settling accounts, and on investigatim it was found that it had been shamefully wasted at the grand encampment under Vandervoort, As the exposition was a dead failure, they na- turally felt irritated over this abuse of their hospitality, and it is more than pos- sible that thoy vm\\ have had some influ- ence in - securing Vandervoort's removal from his official position.” *‘Does your order have anything to do with polifical wire pulling, anyway “When it was first organized, in 1866, mul from that on to 1871, it was controlled by party politicians and used for private and political purposes, which was tho canse was reorganized in 1872, on a strictly non-partisan basis, and it by right has nothing whatever now with party politics. In flour- ishing Gen. Thomas Post we have Gen Rosecrans and Gen. Miller, Stuact M, Taylor and W H. L. Barnes, which shows that we are not partisan,” will only ask you one or two ues- tions more, ~ Have you any idea that Vandervoort will find any supporters ana sympathizors among the Grand Army men, and will he undertake to carry out his threat(” *“Well, yes, I believe he will, through influence which he knows how to bring to bear, secure a certain following among less worthy moembers of the order. There aro such in all orders, and we have our full share. But thoy are decidedly in the minority. The Department Encamp- ment will meet from the middle of De- oember to the middle of January next, and no doubt Vandervoort will endeavor to mako his revengeful spirit felt in them as far as ho ean, not waiting for another grand encampment. But you may bo sure ho will find no considerable sympa- thy or encourage.aent on this coast, and I do not nelieve hs will anywhere in the order. Such men, ever striving to use the order to servo thoir own privato and personal ends, and oven to carry out their little spites and potty schemes of revenge, aro an injury to it, and tend to bring it into contempt and disgraco. 1t is hard to meet your fello ons and be taunted with connection with such men in the order.” to do our DESERTE DYING HUS- A Young Wife Flics With a Forgerer- Repents, Returns and Suicides, Walter Woodburn was a prosperous merchant of Pleasant Valley, N, Y. He had literary tasts. When the Pleasant Valley Dramatic society was proposed Woodbnrn was selected as a leader. He boeame a great favorite with the village lasses. One day o pretty Jersey ie Wood,came to P took part in the dr iety, She was v belle, Miss sant Valloy and matic excrcises of the ry protty, well-do- oped and robust, active and intel- ent. . Woodbur full in love with lu.l Ploasant Valley gitls beeamo discord finally “ended all dray tions in Pleasant Valley. The marriage which ensued was a bril- liant one, and the young couple sottled down in a protty little home. Woodburn, however, was soon seized with a fatal ill- ness. His business dwindled away, eager creditors acized his little stock and he was soon penniloss. His wifo then sought to support her husband. She came to this city and obtained employment in a leading drygoods store on Sixth-ave. For months sho worked, early and late, send- ing the greater portion of her small earnings to the invalid at home. Numer- ous acquaintances were, however, formed in this new sphere of life, and many were attracted to lmrdupnrtumnt by her pretty face and winning manners. Among her admirer was an apparently cultured gentleman. In the guise of a Southern gentleman of wealth, the stranger finally made an impression on the friendless woman. Upon the promise of a happy home under sunny Southern skics sho finally fell. Wishout a word to her dying husband, she fled with this man. Her frionds now say the gay Southerner was a Boston forger who was forced to flee from the East. _ After a short stay in a Southern town, Mrs, Woodburn repent- od and wrote to her dying husband, pleading for forgiveness, promising an immediato return _to his bedside, This was granted. Much time was loxt in making the journey home. When tle repentant wife reached home, she found the neighbors preparing her husband’s body for the grave. The bereaved and heart-broken woman was received with silent contempt. After following the fu- neral procession to the village church- yard, and weeping bitterly over the new- made grave, she vanished. One week later the corpse of a beauti- ful woman lay stretched on a slab in the Morgue. “Found drowned” was the only clue. Many came to gaze upon the fair faco, but none could claim her, and the body was buried in Potter's field. One of the muny observed at the Morgue who had been an admirer of the pretty shop girl and knew of her sorrow drew the connecting link between her = sad history and the Coroner's verdict, “Found drowned.” AN OPEN SECRET AMONG THE LADIES The brilliant, fiw'lnutini, flntsol‘tomplox.lon for which ladies strive are chiefly arti- ficial, and all who will take the trouble may secure them.
