to serve the large numbers who are ex'

The hotels of Baltimore, and a thous-
and private houses offer assurance OF am

at convenient hours before the meeting
and after the daily adjournment Of the
Convention.
To those desiring to visit Washington

Premiums on Corn Crops In Ne.
maha County.

A number of our enterprising farm
ers, who are Of the opinion that they
can produce most excellent crops of corn
the present season, propose that two lib
eral premiums be offered by the Nema-
ha County Agricultural Society. One
for upland corn, and one for bottom corn.
The money to be raised by contribution,

following subscription paper is now IN
circulation in the county, copies Of which
AN be found at the Advertiser Office,
County Clerks Office, and the Banking
House of Lushbaugh s. Carson, Brown.
vile; R. w. Frames store and the Posi-
Office, Peru; at A. L. Coates store and
the Post Office, Nemaha City. We hope
the sum of one hundred dollars will be
made up promptly, and that there will be
a general competition on the part of the
farmers of Nemaha county:
"Ve, the undersigned, agree to give the
sum opposite u respective names to con-
stitute fund with which to offer two pre-
miums on corn crops in Nemaha County,
the present season, viz: Fifty dollars for
the best five acres of upland corn, and
fifty dollars for the best five acres of bot
tom corn. The premiums to be awarded
by a committee. to be appointed by the
board of managers of the Nemaha Coun-
ty Agricultural Society, and to be further

Douglas Dropped.
HHung Be &c heavens in blaek."


The Administration officials (called
ofals, for short, are continually announc-
ing the death of Douglas. He was kill
ed In the Lecompton struggle, slaughter
ed in the Lincoln fight, did up and done
for when degraded from the Chairman
ship of his Territorial Committee, slain
by the Slidell Senatorial Caucus Commit
tee, murdered himself when he wrote the
HARPER Article, annihilafed by old Jer-
emiah Black, and finally, laid out, "a
stiffened corpse" a. Charleston.
1t is now claimed by the few but fero-
cious friends Of "Old Fume, " that al Bal
timore, Douglas will be dropped" We
agree with those f~unctionaries, that at
Baltimore, it is the intention Of the friends
of the Little Giant to drop him-right
into the midst of the fre-eaters and those
defunct ofTals of the party, and make him
by the aid of the people, the next Presi-
dent of these United States! 1t will be
Douglas or Lincoln, or no President at
all! Mark the prediction. We don't
fall a feather.-PLaindeaLer.

PIaffn VALLEY Rank.

Il is well known to u readers, thai
we have always been friendly to, and had
great confidence in the Platte Valley
Bank; believing that the indOmitable
perseverance Of its President, and princi-
pal stakeholder, Hon. S. F. NUcKoLLs,
would work it through, eventually. 1t is
well knOwn-and none regret or sympa-
thize more than ourself-that at the re-
cent cOnfagratiOn in Nebraska City, the
Bank buildings were totally destroyed,
and that Mr.. N, with many others, un-
fortunately met with heavy losses. These
facts have very naturally caused no lit
tie anxiety and inquiry in the minds of
the public in regard to the issues of the
Bank. We have been asked time and
again, lately, and have been written TO
from the interior, as to "How about Platte
Valley Money 7"-"Is it current with
YOU ?"-"Is it safe 10 take it 2" &c., SC.

Half Fair Tickets to Baltimore.
O. B. H.


For the accommodation of those wish
ing to attend the Baltimore Convention,
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad propose
to issue half-fair tickets, as will be seen
by the following circular:
"Under its uniform policy of encour-
aging Baltimore as a place for holding
National Conventions, and general meet
ings, the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has been the first to reduce the
fair upon its W Road, and 10 arrange
also, with its numerous connecting lines
in the West, and the North, and South
west, for a general and joint reduction,
by through round-trip Tickets, for the
Democratic National Convention which
is to be held here on Monday, the 18th
of June.
Having effected arrangements there
fore, with the principal lines west of us.
for through round trip tickets between
all prominent points and the city of Bal
timore, and being a Baltimore work, and
the only direct line from the greater por-
ton of the West, we desire I'd have these
facts as widely known as possible, in or
der to give the fullest opportunity to en-
Joy the route, a. to secure for u road
the legitimate fruits of It's position and
attraction, and Of our efforts for the pub
lie accommodation.
The tickets will be good for an ample
period before and after the convention, to
allow the holders an opportunity Of reach
ing Baltimore IN good season, and time to
return home, even should the session of
the Convention be prolonged.

Of Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New

Japan have assumed quite a aare-up shape
indeed; and brought about, if we under
stand right, in consequence of the treaty
between that country and ours, and the
visit Of the Embassy to the United States,
The last overland mail brings San Fran

teen Japanese, dressed a travellers. His
retinue had six killed and several wound

cut Of by his companions and carried off
to prevent his being recognized. Two

ed on the first of April, having been in.
interested In the affair.
"Since the death of the old Tycoon
under whose reign the treaty was made
there has been an entire change in thC
Government, the present dynasty being
opposed to foreign intercourse, throwing
every obstacle in the way to interrupt thu
trade and commerce with other nations
that they could possibly do, without actu
ally violating their treaties. Their oppo
position, at the head of which is Prince
Meto. is reported as being as strong a
the present Government, and an Insured
ton is mOmentarily expected. Houses
with stands of arms, are numeruos, botl
in the towns and along the road to the
city Of Yeddo. All foreigners are re-
quested not to go out after dark. and are
advised by their respective c~ounsels to be
armed at all times"
The treaty is now complete, between
the United States and Japan but We
have no idea it will ever be observed OF
the part of the Japanese, except wher
forced into measures by Uncle Sam
which, under all the circumstances WI
reckon he will do in case the Tycoon anC
his subjects fail to come up to their work
We have but little faith in the intelh

size, but is the most wonderful piece of
mechanism in the world. 1t is one huns

teen deep. About twenty feet from the
bottom is the dial, on each side of which
is cherub, holding small mallet in his
hand, while over the dial is a small bell.
the cherub on the left strikes the first
quarter, and that on the right the second
quarter. Fifty feet above the dial is n co,
lossal OF Time, with bell in his left hand
ana ascythe IN his right. A figure of q
young man in irontstrikes the third ouar4

then turns and glides with slow siep a.
round behind Time, when out comes an
old man with mallet and ploces himself
10 front ofthe great reaper. As the hour
OF twelve comes The old man deliberately
strikes, with much power, twelve times
on !be bell. He then glides slowly be,

comes out and takes his position, ready to
do his duty when called upon by the ma.

struck twelve another set of mach inery is

Maxims for Married Women

The unmarried woman, says an ex
change, who can read this without indig
nation, ought TO be married:
Let every wife be persuaded that there
arr two ways of governing a family. The
iIrst Is 10y the expression Of hat viii which
belongs to force the second to the power
OF mlldneSs, to which every strength will
yield. One is the power Of the husband
vile should never employ any Other
means than those of eentlouess, when q
woman accustoms herself to say IL wjlI'
she deserves to lose hui empire,
Avoid contradic:ingyour husband. When
we smell rose it is to imbue the sweets
OF odor; we look for everything amiaJle
IN woman. Whoever is often coutfadic-
ted feels insensibly an aversion for the
person who contradicts, which gains
strength 10y time, and whatever be her
good qualities, is not easily destroyed.
Occupy yourself only with household
affairs; wait till your husband confdes 10
you those OF higher importance, and do
not read lectures to him. Let your prea.
ching be good example, and practice yir.
tue yourself to make him love it..
Command his attention by being al.
ways kind to him never exact ANYTHING.
ana you will attain much ; appear always
iattered by the little he does for YOU.
which will excite him 10 do more.
All mon are vain : never wound his
vanity, not even in the most triiling in
stances, A wife may have more sense
than her husband, but she should never
seem to know il.
When man gives wrong counsel, nev-
er feel that he has done so, but lead him
by degrees to what is rational, with mild
ness and gentleness when he is conviu-
ced, leave him to the merit of having
found out what is just and reasonable.
When husband is out of temper. be=
have obligingly to him if he is abusive,
never retort, and never prevail over him
to humble him.
Choose well your friends, have but few,
and be careful Of following their advice in
all matters.
Cherish neatness without luxury, and
pleasure without excess dress with taste.
particularly with modesty; vary in the
fashion of your dress, especially as regards
colo1s. 1t gives a change to the IDEAS
ana recalls pleasing recolleCtions. Such
things may appear tTifling, but they have

Always preserve economy, avoid being
out OF temper, and be careful never to

house pleasanter than any other.
Seem always to obtain information
from him, especially before company.
though you may pass yourself for SIM

Never forget that a wife owes all her

A FAULT CONFESSED.

"a Janh coafess'd is half redress'a."
A simple saying, brief and wise;
The ready truth is ever best,
If truth without isguise.
If, in weak and angry hour,
We utter bitter words and strong,
Oh let us strive with all our over
To rectify the wrong.
If FIVE attempt to mar and stain
A fellow-being's peace and name
what does our selfish spirit gain
But trettulness and shame?
Remember that we but distress
Another's quiet and our own;
Then let us hasten to confess,
AID, if we can, atone.
But there are deeds done in the dark
More baneful still than careless speech
lis when we single out q mark
That secret spite may reach;
An arrow from an unseen hand
Is wingd to wound somo gultless breast
And who can such foe Withstand,
Hidden and unconfcss'd?
God judgeth justly, nnd will bring
Grief for the mischief that we do
We cannot work an evil thing
But we shall suffer too.
Then let us lay the bosom bare
Before the injured one and Heaven,
And, in gush Of heartfelt prayer,
Confess and bo forgiven
j. G. Prince.
