RusTiN's name looks very lonely on the democratic legislative ticket. It will have plenty of company among the defeated a month from now. N is altogether too anxious to represent this county in the senate. Mr. Croighton is the heaviest contractor of public improvements in this city and as such he has no business eal turn when he forced his father-in-law on the top of the democratic county ticket. Con thinks he ouglitto have gone to congress in- stead of McShane. A curious caso in politics has oceurred in Delaware. A mimster of Wilmington #oeepted tho nomination for the office of sheriff from the temperance reform party, ‘just from a sense of duty’ and to help his party present a good ticket. As the contest with his democratic rival ~* grew warmer he began to fear that he would bo elocted, and he came out in a eard saying that when he took the nom- dnation he had no idea that there was any chance of Ius being clected, but as BEE.| . his ticket was likely to win he must re: hre, ns it would not suit him to be wheri®. This )s the firet instance on E: rd where a candidate withdrew from A x::llmm he would be elected, although many decline & nomination from a con- wiction that they would fail.

General Grant's Legacies. On Monday last Mrs. Grant received irom the publishers of General Grant’s memoirs a check for $200,000. She had previously received $150,000, and the pub- hshers say that within a few months she will probably receiveo $100,000 move. An cdition limited to 500 or at most 1,000 copies of n remarkably unique character 15 now beng prepared, which will sell for a high price. These sets will contain pages or parts of pages of the original written manuserivt, will be beautifully illustrated and will contain some photo- graphs entirely new to the public, taken within a few days of the general's death, one of which represents him sitting and writing the last pages of his book. It is easily calculated that M Grant will recove altogother tully $500,000 for the work which her husband undertook after Ward had ruined him, and prosecuted during all the months of suf i life wasted ny. i family, and between th page can almost be read: fully understood—the throbbing agony of pam, the fainting, wasting strength as he wrote and the mdomitable will-power, born of his devotion to those he loved, which sustained him to the end. General Grant's love for his sons and his desire to promote their welfare led him to join the house of Grant and Ward, in which he lost the savings of his life, perilled lis great fame,and the crash of which caused him more mental suffering than the world will ever know, What return are these sons making for the love of sich a father, for the heart- tears wrung from him as he w his glorious name smirched and become for a: time & by-word of reproach on the street, and for the months of agony during which his weakening hand coined is closing his life into gold, that they and his loved wife, their mother, should not want when he was gone? This return, that they have allowed the undertaker's il for embalming their father’s remains tobe hawked about among strangers, secking some one to pay it. It was only for $300, yot for thewr sakes he lost at least $250,000, and during his months of physical] agony he carned for them $500,000 more, Finally a steanger paid this bill to end a scandal and give a poor man his just due. General Grant died in poverty; he had given upall, From a few magazine articles and from his retired pay after Morch the great expenses of 2iy illness were met and 43 family supported. He had ‘nothing left to bequeath, nothing to pay hisdoctors. But he directed that out of the proceeds of his book should be paid certain small legacies, one of which was $5,000 to Dr. Douglass, who had for months devoted all his time and skill and strength and health, to sustain his illus- trious patient as he wrote for his family's sake. Humanly speaking, Dr. Douglass and General Grant wrote that book, the one prolonging the lifo and soothing the pain of the other as he wrought, ‘Lhat $5,000 had not been paid to Dr. Douglass out of the $150,000 received by Mrs, Grant months ago, and it may not be out of the large sum just paid to her. Dr. Douglass was not serving General Girant as an ordinary physician, but from a personal devotion as intense as that with which & mother hangs over the cradle of adying child, Yet his profes. sional skill, his time, health and strength are his menns of living, but be will never ask for his legacy. If it 18 not graciously given, the Grant estate will remain his debtor, and the country will blush that its greatest soldier, the restorer of the union, should leave those to bear his name who are conspicnous for the absence of all kis virtues. ————— Anarobist Justio ‘Phere is more work for ju to do in Chieago than the hanging of those an- archists already convicted and sentenced, and that is the complete protection of witnesses and jurors in the late trial, whose lives bave been threatened and in one case already attempted, Jurer Cole is being persecuted and his home in- vaded, and Witness Waller has been nearly killed.

Dr. Miller came back fry all street two with a triple mission, which has for its object cortain political and personal ends. First and foremost, he has come y of Jay Gould to defeat Van Wyek and help to elect Church Howe. Next, he has come to block any effort on the part of Omaha tobuild a railroad which might in any ay beecomo a rival to Mr. Gould's ystem. And third, he is here to see that A democracy does not pass from under the thumbs of himself and his co- 1. Boyd. Hisanxiety to 5 now an onen seeret s well as any man does that in Neb have no of cleeting a Umted s this yeur than the demoerats of Vermont have had for the last tewnty ye He fears that Van Wyek's strength before the peo- ple will prevent the election of a railroad republican. His frantic cfforts to hold the democrats solid for a demoerat, or in other words, to throw away the popular vote which would otherwise go to Van Wyck, only designed to serve the rail- road sehemer: Dr. Miller’s efforts on behalf of Church Howe are iliy concealed behind a gauzy mask. Church Howe has been closeted with him by the hour a number of times since he was nominated. In five days the Herald only found time to publish six lines about Church Howe and four lines about McShane. His p tended joy over the democratic county ticket is coupled with an assault on Van Wyck’s republican supporters whose votes McShane needs morder to succeed, Privately, except, perhaps, to Jay Gould, Jim Boyd and Charch Howe, he professes great anxiety for McShme's election, while he is work- mg all the wires to defeathim. He hates Jim Creighton as the devil is said to hate holy water, but he is delighted over Jim Creighton’s nomination, ss it is likely to cut down Me! s ‘majority in this county. Such knavery and hypocrisy would make u saint swear. The Democratie Ticke The democ county ticket is one of those peculinr conglomerations which can only be brought forth by a demo- cratic convention, 1t is awfully topheavy.

Rustin, This is a dish fit for kings, It is a gen. uine Irish stew with Charley Rustin thrown in for desert and Ferguson and Mount as side dishes. No wonder Dr, Muller is overjoyed. Itis just the ticket that suits him to a dot. If clected it would give Douglas county a delegation which would be all harmony on one issue at least, and that is the election of a democratic United States seaator, On everything else iv would be a Kilkenny air. Reclaiming Deserts, Some years ago, it will be remem- bered, a French engineer, Colonel Rou- daire, proposed to form inland la in some of the African deserts by admitting water from the Mediterranean, the leyel of which is about cighty foet abowve the portions of the desert proposed to be mundated. Nothing, nowever, came of the proposal, but Colonel Landes, an- other Frenohman, thought it better to irrigate the desert by means of artesian wells, and has alrendy demonstrated its practicability,. He has just reported to the French academy that a well sunk only 809 feet is now discharging fresh water at the rate of over two thousand gallons & minute, which suflices for the irrigation of an area of 500 hectares, or something over & thousand acres. This avea was a desert a year ago, and is now a fertile and well-stocked distriet. A second well is now being sunk, and the work of fertilizing these vast deserts will continue, This is another and striking illustra- tion of what is possible to man. Siretoh- ing away back into the dim pre-histol ages these great deserts of Africa have been mau's terror, and their glaring and shifting sands have been strewn all over with the bones of ven- turesome travelers. Should these seas of sand be reclaimed and clothed in verdure, made to yield fruit and flower and grain, it will be the most wonderful of all the wonderful achievements of man. And success in Africa will show what is possible in America.

When the logislature convened at the capi- tal Church Howe filed a protest which may be found on pages 6, 7and 8 of the Ne braska House Journal of 1877 The fol- lowing extract makes interesting reading *1, Chureh Howe, a member of the legisla- a, now convened by procla- 1on of his excelleney, Governor Silas . for the purpose of eanvassing and declaring the result of the vote cast i Ne- for president and viee president of the United ¢ , hereby enter my solemn protest aga h act, denying that the governor has power to call this body in special session for any such purpose, or that this body has any authority to canvass or declare the result of such voteupon the following ground “irst.

The democrats did not respond to the call of the governor and there was barely a quorum in the senate, while there were soveral to spare in the house of which Howe was a member. The protest en- tered by Howe was doubtless prepared by the Tilden lawyers in Omabka and Howe had the glory of being the sole champion of Sam Tilden. The legisla- ture ignored Church Howe, spread his protest on its record and canvassed the electoral vote in spite of it. ‘When the legislature convened in Jan- uary, 1877, the presidential contest was at its height m Washington. Church Howe had changed places from the house to the senate. Early in the ion, a resolution was introduced expressing the conviction on the part of the senate that Hayes and Wheeler haying received a majority of the electoral yotes were en- titled to their seats. This resolution gave rise to o very lively debate which ed two days. Church Howe asked to be excused from voting when it first ume up and was 80 exeused.

Thomas, n South Carolina democrat, [pages 108 and 208 ate Journal.] All this time Church Howe professed to be a republican independent, republican on nation al issues and a temperance granger on loeal issues.

While Thompson was cut the wood Sisson called out to hin 1 him not to dull the axe—the place being full of rocks—as he might might yet want it for the purpose” of taking of his legs. Sisson was firmly of the opinion that when ‘Thompson ~left him lie would never sce him again, Hoe thought Thompson would never be able to get down out of the mountamns, and s of the vpinion that in case ho did | succeed in reaching tho vy he would not attempt to return to the cabin, Lhompson told Sisson he would surely voturn and take him away, and advised him not to think of attenipting to ampu- tate his legs, as, on cutting tho artorjos, 10 would bleed to death, “But Sisson had thought of that, He mtended to make a sort of compress or turniguet of some picees of bailing rope, which he would twist around his logs with a stick in such a way that a bit of rock would be pressed upon’ the arterices, Then with fire brands he would sear the ends of the arteries and the raw flesh of the stumps of his wrs. Sisson’s mind was so much occu- d with his plans for the amputation of legs that Thompson was almost afraia to leave the axe whero he could gethotd of it; e did so only upon re- ving from Sisson & solemh promiso t 16 would walt threo days botore st ing to use it on his knces, in Thompson trav- eled all nigh 1y next morning rrived at Genoa, He' there raised rty of six men-—-W. B. Wade, Harri & and other old settlers—to return with him and bring Sisson down the valley. By Thompson’s advice the party wried with them a few tools for use in making a sled. Snow-shoes were also hastily constructed for the men compos- ing the relief party. As none of these men had ever done much traveling on snow-shoes, they furnished not a %Il(lh amusement during the journey by their mishaps and involuntary antics. After much hard work, the party ar- ived at the lone cabin late in the even- ing, to the great joy of Sisson, who at q;;ml..l o many man felt that he was sved That night they econstructed a hand- sled on which to carry the frozen man down to Carson Vulley. In the morhin, they awoke to find that nearly two fee of ‘new snow had fallen; thero was a depth of eight feet befo The new snow made it very hard to get along with the hand-sled. Under Sisson’s weight it red peeply along, and at times wos Imost out of sight. first day the party got no further than to Hope Valley, where they en- eamped. Sisson was mude comfort- able as possible on a bed of boughs. AR S s S e Y day, they had taken along with them no blanket, and but few other comforts for the frozen man. The second day they reached Genon, and at once procured the medical assis- tance which Sisson’s case 8o urgently demanded. The doctors found that it 'y to amputate both of Before the oporation could be performed, however, the physi- cian said he must have some chloroform. As Snowshoe Thompson never did any- thing by halves,he at once sct out,crossed the Sierra, and traveled all the way to Saeramento, in order te get the required drug.
