parent to every person who examines
the map, in reference to our location,
and the advantages that Omaha has
for eventually becoming a large city.
The Pacific Railroad is already com
pIeted over three hundred miles, and
during the coming season will be ex-
tended three hundred or more miles
West. We are the natural market
for this entire country, to which must
be added other portions of Nebraska,
Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Dacota,
Western Minnesota, and Iowa.
Four different railroads from the
East will make this place their ter
minus, in order to connect with the
u. P. r. R. The Chicago and
Northwestern railroad will be com
pleted, and cars will run daily to Chi
cago before this letter reaches you.
In addition to this, we have the ad-
Yantages of the navigation of the
Missouri in season, and surrounded
by the most fertile country in the
world. With all these advantages,
can any one doubt the future of
Omaha?
One great disadvantage that we la
Dor under here, is the scarcity of tim
Der and absence of coal This makes
building and fencing material and
fuel light, still this will in part be
overcome by the completion of the
Northwestern railroad.
Yet, with all these fine prospects in
regard to the future of this city, per-
sons coming here will find that they
have many difficulties to contend with.
They will find rents high, houses
scarce, and probably much inferior to
what they have been accustomed to;
but provisions, and most articles
needed in a family, are very little
higher than at Evansville There
will no doubt be double the number
Of buildings erected next season over
last. The Union Pacific Railway
Company will erect freight and pas
senger depot, and bridge will be
built across the Missouri.
A large number of fine business
houses are already contracted for.
The New School Presbyterian
Church have already laid the founda-
ton for their new edifce. The Epis-
German Methodists and
Catholics will also erect churches for
their congregations. The kind of
emigrants most needed here are mer-
chants with sufficient capital to go
into the jobbing business, mechanics,
laborers and farmers, although there
are probably as many mechanics
here as are needed at this
season of the year, but as
soon as Spring opens, there will
be constant demand for all kinds
of mechanics and laborers at big
wages. | do not believe that there is
any portion of our country where
farmer could do better than in this
vicinity.
Lands are very little improved, as
yet, in the vicinity of Omaha, and can
still be bought at reasonable prices.
Those seeking clerkships of any kind
should not think Of coming here, for
they are certain to be disappointed;
still, there may occasionally be a sue
cessful one, but, as general thing, it
is difficult to get into situation of
that kind. But those who come here
and are willing to take hold of any
thing and everything, and not afraid
to work, and possessed of a great deal
of energy and industry, will, sooner or
later, succeed The mechanic cannot
fail, if blessed with health; and, if
not, ought very soon to be restored to
health, for this is, certainly, healthy
country. B.

Our correspondent on Saturday al

the place Of President of that body by
Gov. BAKER. We find the following
in the official proceedings, which will

say this communication admonishes

SINGULAR SCENIC EFFEoTs.-The management
of the scenery and machinery at the New Ches-
nut Street Theatre last night, exhibited to
a wonderful degree the perfection to which
scenic in small things has brought the art OF
science eject. Inione act we have an immense
aquarium filled with running, squirting aqua
purd, in which, apparently, lovely young ladies
dressed in very scanty manner swim about
like the mermaids they are intended to repre-
sent. In another act we have.a representation
of mountain OF tire belching forth a sea of
golden lava, produced by the use OF Greek fire,
lime, and magnesium lights of every hue.
These are all very beautiful and striking tri-
umphs OF stage art; but the hnal scene far
eclpses those we have noticed, for in this all
of the effects of the others are marvelously and
artistically blended, and the scene is daEzllngly
magnificent.

A FALL IN WHICH THE PUBLIC IS INTERESTED.
The public will be delighted to hear that the
general decline in breadstuffs was continued in
the Western markets yesterday In Chicago
-four tell from so cents to 81 per barrel; wheat
from 10 to 20 cents per bushel; corn, to cents
per bushel; rye, l5 to 20 cents. Those who retail

make note OF the declining market, and bring
down their prices also.

PRoMIsNG.-The coming wheat crop will
probably be among the largest ever harvested
in these parts. 1t is the opinion of experienced
farmers of neighboring counties that new wheat,
if the crop proves to be as good as is now pro-
missed, will be sold as low as one dollar and a
half the bushel The best wheat is now quoted
at S3'25 the bushel.

CITY INTELLIGENCE.


FEMALE MARNBR.-A claim for wages
was made yesterday before United States Com.
missioner Sergeant by one Albert Gardiner
vi tne crew of the barque Powhatan, which
recently arrived here from Sagua. The said
Albert shipped at New York as steward, but
alter alter the vessel was out some days, complaint
was made of the cooking, and Albert was
turned out of the galley and sent to the fore
castle to perform ordinary seamans duty
me claim was resisted on the ground that
Albert did not know how to perform seaman's
any more than stewards duty. The novel
part OF the affair was ths:-The so-calIed
Albert Gardner was said to be woman by
the Captain and some Of the other officers Of
the ship, and the appearance OF the claimant
Mes IN q measure calculated to strengthen
that declaration. There was a smootbness Of
the face and a demeanor which belongs to the
fair sex; yet masculine features and figure
and dress partaking Of a sailors rig, gave
to the claimant much the appearances of a
man. Albert was silent on the subject and
0id not appear to be at all troubled about it.
The claim for wages was allowed, but not to
the full amount asked for.
