NEBRAsKA.--A census of Nebraska Terri.
tory has just been completed, showing total
population of 1862. The number of legal
voters is ], l,i65. There are eleven slaves in the
Territory. The population would have been
much larger if it had not been for the Indian
difficulties the past summer Only two persons,
however, have been killed thus far, and all
fears on the subject appear to have subsidized.
The Territorial election occurs on the first
Tuesday in November, when Delegate to
Congress, Territorial Legislature, and county
officers, are to be chosen. For Delegate there
are several candidates, the most prominent of
which are n. B. Giddings, the late Deleg ate,
Bird b. Chapman and Gen. Thayer

The RoTscHILDs.-An article is going
the rounds of the press stating that the
whole concern of the Rothschilds is worth
S700,0O0,000 in money capital, beside
$500, 900, 900 more in real estate, mines,
&c. So far from this being the fact, we
understand that the general estimate in
Europe as to the aggregate wealth of the
whole concern is 2OO,O0O,O0O francs, or
about S40,oOo,OO0. The idea is purely
absurd that their wealth should amount to
such an enormous sum as S l 900, 600, 900,
equal at per cent to an annual income
of sarty millions Of dollars-a sum which,
in comparatively few years, accumula-
ting in compound ratio, and doubling it
every twelve years, would concentrate in
their hands large portion of the wealth
and property Of all Europe National In

TnE SECRET or BEING lowe VIII
liam Wirt's letter to his daughter on the
''small, sweet courtcsies Of life," contains
a passage from which a deal of happiness
might be learned:
Il want to tell you secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others is TO
show that you care for them The whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield, who
cared for nobody-no, not he-because
nobody cared for him. And the whole
world will serve you SO, if you give them
the same cause. Let all persons, there
fore, see that you do care for them, by
showing what Sterne SO happily calls the
small, sweet courtesies' in which there is
no parade; whose voice is too still to tease,
and which manifest themselves by tendor
and affectionate looks, and little kind acts
OF attention, giving others the preference
in every little enjoyment at the table, in
the field, walking, sitting, or standing"

THE IRON REGION OF LAKE SUPERIOR.
A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press writes as follows in regard to this
section Of country:
"This is emphatically an iron country,
In every direction where the steps of the
explorer penetrate, iron ore of more or
less purity is found Its veins ramify
through rocks and stones The whole soil
is impregaated, and frequently the sands
of the shore are tinged with its oxide
Boulders of iron are seated at random.
On the highest part of the "Jackson
Mountain" | remarked them, bare, and
glistening in the sun An Englishman,
but just arrived in America, who has had
long experience as manufacture, and
has possessed facilities for extensive OBJ
servation Of iron mines in England and on
the Continent, was directed by L K Col
Inns to the iron region of Lake Superior
He came, unbelieving, thinking the story
of these iron hills was ankee humbug
The utmost stretch of his expectations
could not reach the reality which be found
He says that the truth, told in England,
would be secuted as arrant impostare4--
that the 'iron men' oftho Old World could
not conceive Of deposits Of iron CT such
scale"

CHANGES OF History informs us
that many Of the countries of Europe which
now possess very mild winters, at one time
experienced severe cold during this season Of the
year. The Tiber at Rome, was often frozen
over, and snow at one time lay for forty days
in that city. The Euxine Sea was frozen over
every winter during the time of Ovid, and the
rivers Rhine and Rhone used to be frozen so
deep that the ice sustained loided wagons =
The waters Of the Tiber, Rhine and Rhone,
now flow freely every winter ice is unknown
in Rome, and the waters of the Euxine dash
their wintry foam uncrystalized upon the rocks.
Some one has ascribed these climate changes
to agriculture the cutting down of dense for,
ests the exposure of the upturned soil to the
summer sun, and the draining Of great marshes
We do not believe that such great changes
could have been produced on the climate OF any
country by agriculture, and we are certain that
no such theory can account for the contrary
change of climate-from warm to cold winters
which history tells us has taken place in other
countries than those named. Greenland re-
ceives lis name from the emerald hcrbGge
which once clothed its valleys and mountains;
and Its cast coast. which is now inaccessible
on account Of perpetual ice heaped upon its
shores, was, in the eleventh century, the seat of
fourishing Scandinavian colonies, all trace ofl
which is now lost Cold Labrador was named
Vnland by the Mortimer who visited il a. d.
loco, and were charmed with its then mild
climate.
The cause of these changes is and important
inquiry. pamphlet, by John Murray, civil
engineer, has recently been published in Lon
don, i'll which he endeavors to attribute thcseI
changes of the climate 10 the chanceable po
sition OF the magnetic poles. The magnetic
variation or declination Of the needle is well
known. At the present time it amounts in
London 10 % degrees, west north. while in
1908, the line of variation passed through
England, and then moved gradually west until
1916. In that year great removal of ice
took place on the coast OF Greenland: hence it
is inferred that the cold meridian. now passes
through Italy and that if the magnetic meri-
dian returns as it is now doing, to its old lines
in Europe, Rome may once more see her Tiber
frozen over, and the merry Rhinelandcr drive
his team on the ice of his classic river
Whether the changes of the climate mentioned
have been caused by the change of the mag.
netic meridian or not, We have too few facts
before us at present to decide conclusively; but
the idea, once spread abroad, will soon lead to
such Investigations as will ro doubt remove
every ClsouIity end settle the question:

For the Neynda journal
RED Doc, Nov. 26, 1885.

RED DOG, NOV. 70, 1900.
Ed. JoURNAL:-Business in this place
at present is exceedingly dull. Yes, Mr..
Editor, the Dog is dead beyond all doubt.
The cause Of so sudden death is for want
Of the greatest blessings bestowed upon
man, to wit: water
One inch of water is worth here fifty
cents, and as there was bat twenty-five
cents in town the Dog famished. No pros
pect of resurrection of the old fellow is
expected until Gabriel blows his horn.
The miners have expended some con-
siderable money and labor this fall in cut
ing bed rock, and running tunnels into
their claims, and are now prepared to work
to advantage as soon as water can be OBJ
tanned at the rate of twenty-five cents per
inch. 1t seems that the mines in this
vicinity will not pay to work, especially
if more than twenty-five cents per inch is
to be paid for water The miners met
here some ten days since, and entered into
combination, agreeing among them
selves not to work their claims until such
time as the water can be obtained Of ditch
owners at the price named And if they
prove faithful to the agreement entered
into, have no hesitancv in saving the
mines of this place will remain unworked
tor long time to come. On Hunts Hill
between this place and Nevada, a large
number OF miners met few days since to
enact laws for the government of mining
claims situated upon Hunts Hill, and
Gass Hill, and large portion of the sur
rounding country. All present seemed
to take great interest in the meeting, and
manifested much confidence of reaping a
golden harvest as soon as sufficient water
can be obtained to work their claims, even
at fifty cents or dollar an inch.
This portion of Nevada county has been
up to the present time, but slightly pros
pected from the fact that sufficient water
could net be had heretofore which would
induce miners to expend much time, la
Dor, or money in prospecting the hills.
The Green Horn Ditch which is some nine
miles IN length, owned by the enterprising
gentlemen Churchman & Fitch, is now
entirely complete, and will furnish the
miners upon Hunts Hill, Gass Hill and
vicinity, with from ten to twelve hundred
inches of water per day this winter.
E. Corney & Co.'s claims on Hunts
Hill yielded during the lainy season of
last Fall, Winter and Spring from $40,
to $2o.per day to the hand. The miners
generally holding claims on this hill seem
very sanguine of making a small pile this
winter. The preparations made by the
miners on Gass Hill are also very exten-
sive. 7. Robbins s. Co., Fisher & Co.,
Burgess & Co. and many other compa-
MES | might mention have set their slui-
ces, and erected hydraulics, and are now
waiting in anxious expectation of rain
every day,
l will say to the miners in general, who
have claims that won't pay good wages,
and fifty cents per inch for water, to
abandon them at onea and m.La n visit
to the hills above named, and there locate
some that will. Adieu for the present,
MINERS FRIEND.

To an Old Friend,

Old friend. though many year has flown.
And we have somewhat wiser grown,
Since you and first met
The love, that in our Dosoms grew
When life wss young and fresh and new.
Is blooming brightly yet.
Time brings philosophic mind;
Time takes more than he leaves behind;
Time is thief OF joys;
Time turns our golden locks to gray;
Time draws bill which al must paw;
Time makes old men of boys.
Time, with his scythe and hour-glass, stands
To reap the harvest of our lands,
To shorten prosperous days; sc 5e
Time eats the keenest steel to rust;
Time crumbles monuments to dust;
Time robs US of our praise
Much fault is found with Father Time,
In books and speeches, prose and rhyme;
But we will not upbraid, -- ..s.
For he has left our hearts Is young
As when, long since, we laughed and sung
In sunlight and in shade.
Who says that age makes friendship cold?
A true affection ne'er grows old,
. But lasts like mountain pines,
Whose heads unfading verdure crowns,
Though Winter fills the sky with trowns,
Or Summer smiles and shines fr
/ wish that round our mutual souls,
While earth upon its axis rolls,
The vines of love, that run, -.
Night spread the If tendrils and embrace
The cherished dear ones Of our race
So that from sire to son,
Our large affection might survive
And be as brightly kept alive,
When we exist no more
By those we leave to guard our flames,
And keep unstained our honest names,
As in the days of yore.
Old friend, It's something in these hours
Ofwork and hurry, when the flowers
OF feeling rarely bloom,
To feel that in our breasts there grows
a plant amid life's sands and SHOWS
That may adorn our tomb

CoNscIENrIoUs.-A congregation raised
the salary of their minister from $500 to
$4oo. The good man objected, for three
reasons. First, said he, you cannot afford
to give more than three hundred; secondly,
because my preaching is not worth more
than three hundred thirdly, because
have to collect my salary myself, which
heretofore has been the hardest part Of
my labors among you, and hsd l to col
lect an additional hundred, it would kill
me.
