The New Joan Of Arc.

". p. Willis, who is standard authority on all
such matters in the literary world, writes as fol-
lows of Mi5l Anna Dickinson, whose public
speeches have created 80 much enthusiasm in the
East
Miss Dickinson is 4 symmetrical young crea-
ture, every movement showing n wel!-knit agility
Of frame, and her build and action altogether
being Just what would be picked out for q dar-
ing horsewoman. The Napoleonic mould of her
jaw expresses the energy which is her leading
characteristic. Her features are otherwise we'll
chiseled, her forehead and upper lip of the Greek
proportion, and her nOstrils thin. The men
would all call her beautiful-the women would
admit it with their usual reluctance--but we
thought (OurselD that she was a beauty, but for
the look q little too determined, of that strongly
moulded jaw though this would better hold the
throat latch TO Il hemlet. and make her look more
like n Semiramis in the field.
But how, under the delicacy of n girl Of
eighteen, could he gathered the strong wisdom
which she poured forth so volubly that night was
~ US a wonder, AS she walked up and down
before the thousands in that crowded hall, she
discussed topics so grave that they required rather
the scope and grasp of a Senator's inind or a
historians, and presented them To the enthusiast
tic crowd with 4 fiuency that was wholly without
hindrance. How, to such youthful lips, flowed
SO easily such stately language. How, over
every gesture and look, every turn of argument,
and every cadence of voice, reigned such absolute
elf-possessiOn, How amid the gracefulness of
that virgin beauty, cOcId acculnulate the tuun-

y lady friend, who met Miss Dickinson at Il
party Mt the house Of Mr.. Charles Could, tells us
that the eloquent damsel there held . long and
earnest conversation with Mr.. Fremont, and that
Der manner IL society is so tranquil ana Thought

absorbent and defercntial, and she is much adj
mired by the eminent men with whom she chances
to converse. Mr.. Fremont says that she reminds
him very strongly of Rachel, the French woman
Of genius, and that her tones particularly are
wonderfully like the great tragedienne's. What
is TO be the destiny of such "a Miss? She has

ECONOMY IN A FA9ILY.-There is nothing which
goes SD far toward placing young people beyond
the reach of pove1y a. economy in the manage
ment of household affairs. IL matters not
whether a man furnishes little or much for his
family, if there is n continual leakage in his
kitchen OF parlor it runs away he knows not
how, and that demon Waste. cries, . More ~
like the horseIeech's daughter, until Ire that pro-
vided has no more TO give. Ii is the husbands
duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty
cf the wife to see that none goes wrungfully out
of it. \ man gets Il wife 10 look after his affairs,
and TO assist him in his journey through life to
educate and prepare their children for = proper
station in life, and not to d~issipatc his property.
The husbands interest should be the wife's care,
and her greatest ambition TO carry hey no farther
;han his welfare or happiness. together with that
of her children : This should be her sole aim,
and the theatre Of her exploits in tne bosom of
her family, where she may do as much toward
making n fortune a. he can in the soGnting-room
or work shop.
IL IL not the money earned that makes = man
waIthy-it is what he saves from his earnings.
disqualification in dress. or indulgence in appe-
lite, or more company than his purse can well
entertain, are equally pernicious. Tne FIRST adds
vanity to extravaganza, the second fastens n doc
tors bill to- a long butchers account, and the
litter brings intemperance-the worst of all evils,
in its train.

the killed were from Nemaha county,.
The enemy's loss was about three times
as great. Though not a bloody or holly

victory, and added to the already enyia-
bic reputation of our Western troops for
daredevil courage and uncomfortable
determination. Capt. Crawford, at the

Through the courtesy of Vim. H.
Hoover, County Clerk, we are enab led
to publish the foregoing table. From it
can be learned at a glance the value of
the personal properly and real estate of
the county and each precinc, /; also the
school tax and the amount delinquent in
each precinct. This table will be useful
for reference hereafter-in years 10 come
for a~scertaining the increase in wealth
in the various precincts.
II will be seen hat Brownville precinct
pays nearly one-third Of the tax of the
county. OF the personal property it con-
tains about one-half. The precinct that
stands second, with regard to amount of
both personal property and real estate, is
Peru.
Of the lax assessed in the county, a
little over one-fourth is delinquent. The
amount delinquent in the various pre-
clnctS stands as follows: BrownVIlle and
Nemaha City, a little less than me-
fourth; Peru nearly one-third Glen
Rock nearly one-half ; Lafayette, one-
half; Douglas, one-third; Aspinwall,
~one-fOurth; Bedford, one-6fth; Wash
ingtOn, one-eighth Benton, O~ne-thirty-
second.
The following table shows the amount
of money assessed in the various pre-
cincts in this county for shool purposes.
The total amount assessed in this county
is $3.50 ~. In addition to this we will
receive about 81, 500 from the Terrific
rial fund, making over $4,000 of a school
fund.

BY the telegraphic dispatches we learn
that Illinois has elected VIM. A. Rich
ardson, and Indiana Thos. A. Hendricks
TO the United States Senate-two of the
most ultra Democrats of the Vallandirg-
ham school 10 be found. The prestige
acquired by the victories at the elections
in October, has had the effect to unite all
who still preserve the name Of Democrat
on The ValEandingham platform. Nine
months ago nine-tenths of the Democrats
~repudiated such men as Vallandingham,
Seymour and Wood. Now, the entire
party cooperate harmoniously in retar-
ding the wal as much as possible. Dem.
ocrats, who six months ago were urging
a united support of the Administration,
and a vigorous prosecution of the war,
and by their speeches and writings, SUBJ
iected themselves 10 denunciations from
their brethren as being no better than
abolitionists have now wheeled into line,
and are fighting for ''vigOrOus prOsecu-
ton of peace" Almost all democratic
papers are now labonng for a peace or
armistice with the rebels, which would
inevitably lead to an acknowledgement Of
the Southern Confederacy. The object
now aimed at by the rebels in the SOUTH
and their friends in the north. is to in
duce the west TO secede from the eastern
States. This is advocated in several lead
ing Democratic papers.
