VENTILATION.-

VENTILATIoN.-
"Windows opened more
Would keep doctors from the door"
A very large quantity of fresh air is
spoiled and rendered foul by the act Of
breathing. A man spoils not less than
a gallon every minute. In eight hours
breathing, full grown man spoils as
much fresh air as seventeen 3-bushel
sacks could hold If he were shut up
in room seven feet broad, seven feet
long, and seven feet high, the door and
windows fitting SO tightly that no air
could pass through, hG would die, poi
soned by his own breath, in a very few
hours in twenty-fo four hours he would
have spoiled all the air contained in the
room, and have converted it into poi
son! Reader, when you rise to-mor-
row morning, just so out Of doors for
FIVE minutes, and observe carefully the
freshness O: the air. That air is in
the state in which God keeps it for
breathing. Then come back suddenly
to your close room, and your senses
will at once make you feel how very
far the air in your room is from being
in the same wholesome and serviccable
condition.
WHAT IS A ZouAvE THE Zouaves
are all French they are selected from
among the old campaigners for their
fine physique and tried courage, and
have certainly proved that they are,
what their appearance indicates, the
most reckless, self-rehant, and efficient
infantry that Europe can produce.
With his graceful dress, solderly bear
ing, and vigilant attitude, the Zouave
at an outpost is the beau-ideal Of a
soldier. Their movements are light
and graceful, the stride is long, but
the foot seems scarcely to touch the
ground, and the march is apparently
made without effort or fatigue. The
step Of the foot rifles is shorter and
quicker, and not so easy and graceful.
The impression produced by the ap-
pearance of these two corps is very
different; the rifles look like active,
energetic fellows, who would find their
best field as skirmishers but the Zou-
ayes have, combined with all the activ-
ity and energy of the others, that solid
ensemble and reckless, dare devil indi-
viduality which would render them alike
formidable when attacking in mass Or
in defending position in the most
desperate hand to hand encounter.
The grenadiers of the Guard are all
large men, and fne-looking, soldier
ly set.
The RELIGION OF THE HEART. "A
holy calling never saved any man with
out a holy heart; if our tongues only
be sancti6ed, our whole man must be
condemned. F2aUeI.

CHOICE OF A HUSBAND:

do not love man that is tall;
A man that's short is worse than all.
much nbhor man that is fat;
n man that is lean is worse than that.
l do not like man that is fair;
A man that is dark cannot bear.
A man of sense cannot rule;
And from my heart hate fool.
A sober man l cannot take;
A drunken man my heart would break.
All these do sincerely hate,
And yet love the marriage state.

great thoroughfare to and from the gold

returning adventures, the testimony Of
whom are generally favorable as to the
productiveness Of the mines. Those who
are coming back, are forced to do so from
a want of means with which to prosecute

They nearly all will return in the spring.

The Premium List OF the Terrific
rial Fair.

The Press of Nebraska City is consid-
erably exercised over the So eggplant
premium, which we explained last week.
As before stated the Board have done the
best they could under the circumstances ;
and we are unwilling TO admit until time
and experience prove it to be so, that san
error has been committed" in any arran-
cement made connected with the ap-
preaching Fair. The Board did not ex-
pect that, in the beginning, everything
would be Just right and suit everybody.
The editor of the Press or "Cincinna-
tus," in our opinion, could much better
further the cause of agriculture, by aiding
in making the best of the present and
~profting by it in the future, even though
there might be errors or Inconsistencies,
than by hunting up flaws and finding
fault! We hope Mr.. IRISH will take
hold and do all in his power from now
until the Fair, to make it an agreeable
and profitable gathering to the agricultu-
raj and mechanical interests of Nebraska;
and occupy the space in his excellent pa
per, he has been using to expose "incon-
sistencies," in healing any great dissa-
tisfaCtion'' he may discover. Don't you
think, Mr.. l., you could do mora good in
that way; feel better, sleep sounder, and
be less liable to be frighted by "whiskey
jugs" "female equestrians and drivers
or the "squandering of the peoples mo-
ney 2" Try it.

Land Sales,

To the gentlemanly and accommodating
officers Coils. Nixon and SMITH, and
Clerk ELI Wilcox, we are indebted for
such information relative to the land ope-
rations in this District as we place before
our readers. :
As we stated last week, the pre.emp-
tons at the office in this city, for the
month of July, amounted to tro hundred
and one. During the first six days of the
present month, there were one hundred
and eighfy-tro prescriptions made. Tues
day forty; Thursday hirty-three, and Sat
urday hirty-si~. This is what we call
Gland office business" Can any other
Land Office in Nebraska show the same
amount of business done in the same
length of iime7
On Monday the sales commenced, Col
NIXON acting as crier. On that day the
remainder of Ranges 16 and II were Of
fered, the balance being returned as Of
fered lands, and hereafter will be subjec.
to private entry, or pre-emPtiOn on one
years time.
Everything passed off a~greeably an6
satisfactorily. Quite a number of per
sons chose to have their lands pass the
sales rather than pre-empt at present.
When lands were offered on which there
were settlers, the fact was so announced
by the parties or their friends, and nj
bids were made. There was anothe.
class of lands on which were settlers witt
, improvements, and who were not entitled
to the right or benefit Of presumption
The fact being made known, they wer,
allowed to bid in their lands at govern
ment price, S1,25 per acre.
On the part of all, we are satisfe'

1t was we'll understood at the last ses-
sion of Congress, that Kansas was about
to apply for admission, and in view OF that
fact, an attempt was made TO have the
census of Kansas taken, with a view to
her exclusion unless she had a certain
amount Of population but it failed. Kan
sas is applying for admission, and In
considering the propriety of granting her
prayer, the question Of population will
not be entertained. And will the country
discriminate against US, having referred
to the history of the past, the blood and
treasure wasted in Kansas by reason OF
the lawlessness of her people, as con-
trasted with the steady and gradual deve-
lopment of Nebraska byher enterprising,
industrious and law-abiding citizens 2
Surely they would not receive Kansas IN
to full fellowship and at the same time
turn a deaf ear to our prayer to be adj

"McC." has entirely moderated the
educational enterprise and advantages of
this city and county. The first school in
Nebraska was commenced in this city,
and the last Report of the Commissioners
of Common Schools" showed Nemaha
County far ahead of any other county in
the Territory in educational matters. For
the last two years, we, in Brownville,
have had a school over nine months in
each year. The Brownville Academy,
under the superintendence of Rev. T. w.
Upton, is now in operation, and in a
fourishing condition, and will continue
hereafter each entire year, except of
course usual vacation. This school, is the
forerunner or nucleus around which it is
the intention and determination to build
up the Brownville College, a chartered
institution of which Mr.. Upton is Presi-
dent.
We now have a most excellent School
Law; a copy of the Ohio Law, which when
thoroughly in operation, will place the
Territory of Nebraska in the front rank
in educational matters.

We learn from Hon. R. BRowN, who
has just returned from Holt County, Mo,
that considerable excitement prevails
there in consequence of recent acts of in
cendiarism, and the session of a Vigilance
Committee for the purpose of ferretting
out the offenders. Within the last six
months several valuable barns and store
houses, together with their contents, have
been destroyed by fire the people had
submitted as long as they felt they could,
and, forming a Vigilance Committee, pro-
ceeded to investigate where suspicious
rested. The result has been three citiz-
ems, a Mr.. Walker. his son and son-in-
law, have been notified to leave the coun-
ty within a given time. The end is yet

We have these figures from Col. Will

other Land Office in the Territory can
show a similar amount of business in the

will be seen that out of the Al, l04 acres
disposed of in four weeks, 3O,5I2 was
'warrant locations" made after the sales
and by SPECTATORS class of men who
it cannot be expected will improve the
lands secured. In other words, the bu-
siness was the rush of private entries.
We will compare with the above the
business done at this, the Nemaha Land

by pre-emption-actuaI settlers.
