terprising manner. breaches forenoon
visits among e%migrants after dining,
fgures4u in evening-runs his boat and
paddles his own canoe all the week and
swaps horses. Saturday evening is q

That's right, we do like an e~nterprising
man, but hope Brother Shinn will forget
to tell any wrong stories about the north
Platte route. Tell the truth Brother, if
it don't happen to put a dollar in your
pocket, and then we shall have some
hopes of meeting you in paradise one of
these days. Go on, Brother Shinn, we
like to see a stirring man make money,
but not at the expense of the truth. Don't
say the Platte is high and difficult Mt
Kearney, for itiSn't. DON'T say we have
not abundance of provision for man and

Editor E7Ome,

We have really got home again after
al absence of near four months, q fact
we forgot to mention in former number;
and glad we are to see our beautiful
prairie home, and breathe the pure ex-
hilerating breath of verdure and flowers,
take our accustomed rambles, and catch
the wary fish from the purling stream be-
fore our door. Since leaving this favor
lite spot last fall, we have assumed sew
eral characters, and have done various
and sundry matters aud things too nu-
nervous to mention. Among others how
ever, we will name the fact that we were
SO simple az to claim our seat in the Re-
publican Legislature OF Nebraska, and.
were beatan back by q little Dutchman
only about half our size. We think we
must have labored under temporary aber-
ration of mind at the time, and the next
two moves prored it to our satisfaction;
viz: first we tried to cross the broad
prairies between here and Omaha in a
fierce snow storm and nearly persisted,
and finally being stuck half way. The
next worst thing was to suppose we could
''swap'' with the Pawnees without more
than the profits stolen. We tried it-be-
came an Indian trader-got cleaned out,
and returned to our old tripod, a wiser,
and, we think, better man. In the short
time since our arrival, besides our -edito-
rial labors, corresponding by mail, with,
at least, q hundred persons, making a
visit to Kenrney, with a little help, plant
ed -four. acres Of garden, and added to
our domicil room 1890, besides yari-
