From the Omaha Daily World of Friday, we clip the following: RAPID OMAHA IMPORTATIONS B. P. Morse & Co. Make the First Im- portation and Paymeat Under The New Act. 8. P. Morse & Co. have the distinction of being the first Omaha importers to make an entry at thiscity under the act designating Omaha as o ‘port of imme- diate transportation and the first to get a receipt issued in accordance there- with by Uollector Jordan, They paid him yestérddy nearly 81,200 in gold for duties on this imp tation, which was a case of Ladie. Hoslery from Nottingham, England, The goods were opened yestorday and were the admiration of all observers, both'from their superb colors and their soft vet firm texture. The brief time in which the importa- tion was made is the hest proof of the advantage of the immediate transporta- tion act to imposers in this city. The goods werg shipped from Nottingham on March 19th, from Liverbool two days later and made the trip to this city in twenty-five days, thus enabling Morse & Co. to order the freshest styles and put them on the market with a month alter they left the factory.

Some Early Journals and Their Pub- lishers—A Judicial Farce Played by the B, & M.—Lincoln's Base Ball Outlook. 1020 P STRERT, LaxcoLy, April 21, One of the best stored libraries in the state in historical matters pertaining to Nebraska may be found av the home of ex-Governor Furnas at Brownville. From tifese personal treasures of Mr. Furnas the state historical society is indebted for many of its most val- vable documents, and there is not a year that passes but the governor makes historical con- tributions of some character to the archives of the society. The present year Mr. Furnas Bas added to his contributions a large num- “er of copies of carly newspapers in Ne- braska, mainly copies of publications in 1858, when every bluff upon the Missouri river was LixcoLy Bureav or tne OMAnA Beg, } a town site, and the broad, rolling prairics. back from the river overflow, were ns unfit for tillage and of littie utility. There are comparatively few of the uctive partici- uts of the struggles of the different Ne- gtnxlm cities in the latter days of the fiftics Wwho would not enjoy these brown and dis- eolored specimens of territorial journalism that have been stowed away for years, until they possess a value as historical natter that it would be dificult to estimate and out of the possibility to replace, In a review of & number of theso papers there are numerous items f interest from the days of thirty years ago. ¥he Nebraska Pioneer was published ut Cuming City, and on the 21st of January it had reached the ripe age of volume 1, No. 27, It was edited aud published by L. M. Kline, and the columns showed that he had all the vigor of the latter day cditor of Nebraska in bis makeup. In his leading editorial he uscs the following language concerning an cs teenied contemporary: **We unhesitatingly state, without fear of successful contradic- tion, that the Nebraskan, or ratherthe fellow who edits that contemptible sheet, to be a wvotorious and unscrupulous har; his lies are 80 glaving that & man must bo an idiot not to detect them.” Mr, Kline wasa lawyer, a real cstate agent and a notary, as well'as editor, and a democrat who carried the motto “Squatter Sovercignty” at the head of his columns. A copy of the Omadi Weekly Enterprise, baaring date Februury 6, 1555, volume 1, No. 9, with John Taffe as editor, was announced Al the head of its columns as being published at Omadi, Dakotu county, Neb., at the lar est town in northern Nebraska, and pub- DLished the farthest west of any paper in the union east of the Rocky mountains. Oune of the leading editorisls was devoted to.the weather, stating that there had been but a sngwfall of two inches, that the ther- mometer had not been below zero, and had been as high as eighty- Editor Taffe discusses as follows on the ganization of the republican party in Omaha: “We learu that the republicaus of Omaha met on the 15th and took measures for the permanent orgabization of the party. We lave not been able to learn any of the de- tails and s there is not & republican paper in tho territory, we presume none will be pub- lished. Genersl William Larrimer, we un- derstand, was chairman and is regarded as a rominent man in the republican ravks.' &l Taffe expressed the opinion that & re- publican candidate for & territorial ofice would not have a ghost of a chance for election. 4 The Florence Courier, ary 4, 1855, bears eviden regarded bearing date Fobru- of being one of the ers of the territory, us itawas in its soond volume.

The copy of the Bellevue Gazette bearing date Jauuary 14, 1858, in the second year of its history, is the st metropolitan of the thirty years ago representatives of Nebraska journalism. Henry M. Burt was its editor, and it was politicaily democratic, its coluruns being filled with the proceedings of the terri- torial legislature that at the time was en- guged in the long struggle in which a part of the body was meeting in Omaha and a por- tion in Florence. The anathemas hurled through the columns of the puaver at the war- ring factions equalled any reports of like character of later days. “Vox Populi,” “Trath,” *Justice,” = “Spectator” = and other correspondents aired their views in the columms, Peter A. Sarpy, rl D; % CH. y B. Lemon, J. H' were patrons of the'adver- Erown and oth tising columns of the Gazette. The Plattsmouth Jeffersonian, a copy of which bears date February 13, 1858, was one of the representative papers of those days and the proprietor with modern modesty cx. cluded his name from the head of the umn. The paper was independent in poli- ties and conservative in tone. It published all the work of Fenner Ferguson in cougres and was evidently a supporter of good people of Plattsmouth in thos evidently enjoyed & banquet as much as at the present tiuie, for an elaborute account is given of a visit of Governor Richardson to the city and of a banquet tendered him at the Platto Valley house. The editor of the Jeffer sonian had just returned from a tvip toward the intorior of the state and had written it up -in_full in his columns, His journey had lod him along the Platte river to the est; he found Parallel City where Ashland now stands and the town site of Independence a mile distant, He then followed the Platte river up to the old Indian town of O Ke Ke To, opposite where Fremont now is.

What WEEKLY BUSINESS REVIEW, Speculation More Active and a Bet- ter Demand for Money. INTEREST RATES REMAIN FIRM. oreign Bankers Well Supplicd With Loanable Funds—Stocks Only Mod- erately Active—Provisions Grow- ing Stronger — General Trade Reviving. Picking Up. Cuicago, April 21.—[Special Telegram to the Bee.|]—The demand for money con tinues fair from all sources but there is no unusual amount wanted by any particular branch of traders. Bankers are well sup- plied with loanable funds and there is no in- convenience experienced in obtaining bank- g accommodations when applicants present good collaterals, Busmess affairs are grad- aally settling back into old channels and With the opening of navigation there will no doubt be an iucrease in trado generally. Large quantities of grain and provisions will be moved castward and liberal amounts of merchandise forwarded westward. The improved speculative trade, especially in grain, had a tendency to mcrease the d mand for money for voard of trade oper- ations, largely in the way of placing margins, Shippers of grain and pro- visions too presented some paper for discount. There is rather more money being forwarded to the interior. The recent advance in prices of gram and live stock is improving business to some extent, although checked in some sections by the active prose cution of farm work. The lumber and man- ufacturing interests are only moderate bor- rowers, Merchants in the wholesale mer- cautile trade have increased their demands to some extent, Interdst rates are quite firm and well main- tained at 514 @6 per cent on call, and 6@8 per cent on time loans, depending on the umount of money required and the standing of the borrowers, Eastern money markets appear to be better supplied, and borrowers in good standing succeed in obtaining accommoda- tions and slightly reduced interest rates ruling at 2 per cent on &all and 5@6 per cent on mercantile time paper. In foreign finaucial centers bankers are supplied with In¢reased funds and the de- mand for money is comparatively light with rates of interests favoring borrow New York éxchange was in better supply during the past week, owing to the increased shipments of grain and provisions to the sea- board while the demand was omy fai Sales were made at par to 60¢ premium per £1,000, and the market closed steady at par to 25¢ premium. | Foreign exchange was in fair supply, and the demand was only moderate, Shippers' sixtyday documentary bills on London changed hands at $.54@4.84}§ and closed steady at $4.541 @4.5434. The New York stock market was only moderately active, and fluctuations in prices were confined within a narrow range. " In a general way the market showed 4 little more strength, and the prices were a little more favorable to sellers, The railroad earnings are not so favorable as reported some time ago, due to the labor troubles, the reduction in freights and the injury fo crops in some sections. Wall street operators were in- clined to do a fair business, but outside opera- tors apparently took a little interest in Lk market. Foreign speculators were indiffe ent about trading to any extent. — Soms real- izing took place early in the week, but near the close there was less pressure to sell, and the prices showed a little more steadiness. The aggregate sales on the stock exchauge for the week were 157,200, There has been a general revival of busi- TABLE LINENS, Napkins. Towels. On Monday we shall inaugurate A GRAND LINEN SALE!

Apparently the time has arrived when the Chicago mar- ket will show more life and her merchants use extra exertions to attract business through legitimate sources. nseason- able weather, damage to winter grains in some sections, the detention of farm' work in many portions of the west, moderate sup- plies in the leading distributing markets coupled with a larger ‘*‘short” interest pro- portionately, the unsettled indications of af fairs among the leading European powers and the laziness of the money markets, all features and influences which Lave assist- ed in the changes sustained in the leading markets since the close of the last weekly review. In speculative circles, May, June and July deliveries have attracted the' most attention and trading was unusually active in the lead- ing cercals and provisions notwithstanding the rather unfavorable advices from foreign rkets- The impression prevailed that more satisfactory jirices would be obtained for grain and provisions in the future and that the consuming marketsjof the world would realize the legitimate situation and eventually purchase at such prices and on such terms as the surplus producing coun. tries would dictate, This impression encour- aged more buying on speculativel and investment account by outside parties to such an extent as to turn prices upwards and cause shorts to pro vide frecly for their outstanding obli- lting in . material advance at ment, The offerings were in creased and prices settled back again tially, but near the close the n exhibited move strength with a covery in pric The shipping demand showed cousiderable improvement with a good share of the business transacted in quiet way.

LANDER, April 18.—[Correspondence of the Bee.)—The oil that has been flowing out along the oil belt touching the Wind River and Rattlesnake ranges of mountains in Wyoming is convincing of two very import- ant facts, Iirst, its quantity is immense, and secondly its flow has been for many centuries. The deposits of dried and hard- ened oil that can be measured by acres, which is the Lieavier or sedimentary deposits of the petroleum, give evidenee of the im- mense quantities that have flowed in past years, When we once take into consideration that what is left to give trace to these natural out-puts is but an insignificant per- centage of the original product; or, to make it more comprehensible to the casual reader, the dried oil deposits that now can be seen on the surface is not one millionth vart of what has flowed out. The theory of oilor petroleum making is an interesting one, and it is the opinion of some well balanced minds and scientists also that petroleum is being distilled in nature's large labratories as much to-day as in any Ume of the pastand will so continue on 50 long as old earth 1s undergo- mg any chemical action or changes. Many new devices are being brought into acquisition for the purpose of extracting the many commercial products contained in the petroleum locked up in the . ness in produce circles: old times on the floor ~SIXTEEN PAGES.

It i suid that some of the finest delicacies of the table are made from petroleum, and it is well known that the elite of the bestculture crave the chewing gum made therefrom. In Wy- oming it is yet an unsettled question whether there are two or three oil horizons, and to the practical producer, whe is looking for quan- tity and quality, he cares but little how many there may be, or of the scientific theorics about it; all he wants to satisfy himself in the premises is to put his drill down to the lowest strata that oil can reasonably be fouud, aud_somewhere between the surfaco 1d this point there is reason to believe that jmmense deposits will bo reached, Uhere wiil bo at least twenty wells sunk in the fleld this car, 1558, and with a fair percentage of s ess will ca at least 120 wells in 18!

Tn spring, if we would be well, we can hardly take too much exercise, cspe cially long wulks, and we ought to dress lighily but warmly. The clogging, cum- bersome top coat, the India rubber man- . the mackintosh, the heavy muffler, and deadly golosh, should all be left in- doors when we go out to walk. Gloves should be worn, warm thick stocking: and casy soft shoes; a light silk scarf may be taken—and put on if required— and also an umbrells; but these are all the arms one should carry against the weather if he or she values health, Verily, prevention is better than cure, f!ut if we cuddle ourselves up in- doors in hxull[)‘v ventilated,. overheated rooms, and take our exercise abroad, laden to the earth with extra clothing, we caunot be well either in body or in mind, We shall be peevish all day, destitute of spirits and ambition; we shall have wretched appetites, sluggish livers, and restless nights. In a previous paper I spoke of some of the ailments incidental to tife cold spring months; I will here mention one or two more which, pray mark this, are preventible by meuns as above. Here is one troublesome complaint of the season—relaxed sore throat, The may be more or less huskiness with it, umfummy hacking cough. There is relaxation of theé uvula and a swelling of the tonsils; and the worst of it is that it hangs about one for weeks, threaten- ing many kinds of mischief, and making the sufferer frightened and uneasy. 0O Now we must not imagine that we are going to cure this trouble by medicine or local applications alone. Though there be no disturbance of the general health attached to it, it is constitutional nevertheless, The real cure for it is not to be found in bed, nor at the fire- side. Change of air or climate would do good, but everyone cannot get it. Exercise must be taken,and good, ensily-digested food. Iron in some form should also be taken if the gums and face be pale. The dialysed iron of the shops, or simply the tincture of iron, is excellent. The latter is apt to bind, so some Cascara extract should be vaken now and then. Wine is recommended by some, but I take leave to doubt its efficac Milk isinvaluable, and change ind should be constant. 3 The best local apphications are a mix- ture of glycerine and tincture of iron, two parts of the former to one of the latter, painted quite all over the inside of the throat and elongated uvula thrice a day by means of a big camel’s hair brush; or tannate of glycerine used in thLls:\xno way and the last thing at night, 1f the cough is very bad, something more serious might be brewing, there- fore you had better consult a physician, I mention neuralgia only to remind the reader that this is also as often as not a constitutional complaint. It is easily brought on—face-ache I mean— in those whose tecth are bad, and it isa pity that so little c: is taken to con- serve the teeth in this country. I do not refer entirely to the dentist’s art in conservation; this is very good, but those persons whose teeth are consti- tutionally prone to decay, should be more thin ordinarily careful to liye by rule, Beware of th ng causes of neu- ralgia, such as exposure tojhigh winds, sitting in draughts, and cold or damp fect. Take time by the forelock as re- gards hollowing teeth. I say ‘“‘hollow- ing" advisedly, for most people wait till the tooth is a positive xskm]l before thinking of a visit to the dentist, Re member you cannot lose a better friend than a tooth. Without good sound teeth, good sound digestion is an impos- sibilify. Billiousness is a ve complaint. It is brought about as often as not by ov ating, and insufficient action of the skin. It may be scared away for a time by taking a blue pill at night, and a dose of Irederickshall n the morning, but it is sure to return, You see it is like this: if the skin which is by far and away the most important emunctory connected with our ““forms divine,” does not act well, extra work 18 thrown on liver and kid- neys, and the form at all events is sure to become inactive or engorged, Plenty of exercise is the wisest remedy, but the digestion must be soen to. Are we to take bitters to give us an appetite? Certainly not; better lower the diet, or go without for a day. The flesh-brush or rough towel after a cold or tepid bath isan excellent pre- ventative of liver troubles, and creates almost an immunity from colds.
