EDITOR TELEGRAPH Il thought / would
write short letter to you, thinking that per-
haps your readers would like TO hear from Ne
braska. / will try and give you description
of the southern part of the State. This fine
farming country is fast settling up, interSect-
ed everywhere by timbered creeks, now al
ready settled. It's upland prairies are unsur-
passed in Illinois or Iowa, and in no place
more than four miles from timber. They
Will soon be covered with cultivated farms
The Nemaha district embraces the six south
tiers oil townships, with land office at Browns
willie, on the Missouri river. In this district,
free homesteads of 100 acres can be had by 90
ing far enough west, and the land is subject
to entry at 81 .25. The odd numbered sections
OF this disr15t will probably soon be granted
for railroad, to run west from Brownsville
to Fort Keaney, when the price for even sec
lions win BE- raised tie 81 so per acre, and they
will be Withdrawn from market, except by
homesteads or pre-exemp tions, as is now the
case i'll the South Platte land district offices
at Nebraska city.
The capital of the State was last season To-
Gated at Lincoln. The State house is now un-
der construction, to be finished in September
next. The State University, Lunatie Asylum
Agricultural College and Penitentiary are
all located there. Salt springs lie adjacent
to the town, on which parties from Syracuse
N. Y. have contracted to expend $500 900 this
summer in consideration of having their salt
free for five years. Lying in the centre of an
AGRICULTURAL country, not inferior to that
about Springfield, ILL.,, and possessing the
above advantages, this village must rise rap
| idly into Importance. Lying but "a miles
| from Nebraska City, on the line of a land
grant railroad, to which one county has al
ready voted 5000, 900, it is sure Of a railroad
within fifteen months.
| Lands in second hands can be had at from
So to $40, according to location. Farms with
log houses, plenty of timber, thirty TO fifty
! acres broke, bring from S. to SIS per acre.
| Fine upland prairie, with stock water, can
yet be entered Gn the Nemaha DISTRICT, and
| by going far enough back, abundant timber
bottom lands can yet be homesteaded.
Spring opens usually by the list of March
the winters average at least two months short
er than in Illinois, in the latitude Of Chicago
! AS | have spoken of Lincoln, will a so give
you description of Beatrice, the county
seat of Gage county. Tt is situated on the
/ Big Blue river, % miles west of Brownsville.
and 40 miles south of Lincoln. It has a pop
uiation Of about 600; l -four mill, saw mill
4 stores, hotels, 2 blacksmith shops, drug
store, harness shop, 2 shoemaker shops, and
quite number of buildings going up thi.
season.
There is quite an excitement in this section
of country since the nomination of u s. Grant
as our next President. The Democrat party
has organized a Club in Beatrice, called the
Beatrice Democrat Club but this Club vii

Religious Matters.

THE FUTURE CHURCH.-The GALAXY of last
month, has an article Indicating the belief
that the Methodist Episcopal Church, is des-
tined to increase and eventually to be-
come the Church of the world. The article
has been extensively copied in the Methodist
journals, with apparent satisfaction.
The different branches of the Presbyterian
Church, appear to be earnestly at work to con-
solidate in one organization. The.prospect for
the Gnion of all the now distinct denomina-
tional interests, looks favorable.
The Wisconsin State Journal published at
Madison, recently described a vesper service,
which had been introduced in the Congrega-
tional Church of that city, and which is de-
signed to take the place of the usual preach
ing service during the summer. The American
Charehnaan EpiscopaD notices this introduce
ton of vesper service in the Congregational
church with delight, and thinks it indicates
a growing tendency towards the Episcopal
church service. The Charch1aan says:
"These changes among our various denomi-
nations are very hopeful. They show how
'the eTtenpOTe way" which was once claimed
TO be the only true way, has failed to satisfy.
The dissatisfaction with ertenepOre worship
will, naturally and of conrse, extend to
ertenlp0re Churches as well.
The First Presbyterian Church of Chicago,
the pulpit (which has lately been made
vacant by the pastor DR.. Humphrey removing
to Cincinnati, has given a call to Rev. Newman
Hall of London, England. The salary
offered Rev. Newman Hall is SO, 600 in
gold together with an elegant parsonage.
1t was stated last week, that Rev. DR..
Bishop well known to the citizens of Kenosha,
as the former rector of St, Matthew's
Church, Kenosha, now of Chicago, had received
q call to Cincinnati, Ohio. Since then DR..
Bishop has sent in his resignation, expressing
his strong attachment to the people of his
late charge. He counsels them to avoid the
extreme of Rationalism on the one side, and
the tendency to ''Ritualism" on the other.

THE WHITEWATER (Walworth county, Reg
lister says the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton in that place is doing an earnest work in
caring for the sick and needy, and is carry ing
out other charitable enterprises. 1t is com
posed chiefly of young men and women who
are untiring III their efforts to do good.
The same paper, speaking of the anniversa-
ry exercises at Milton college, says:
son Tuesday afternoon, Hon. A. Vanwyck
of Kenosha, delivered the annual address be-
fore the Literary Societies. It was an elegant
production, and discussed the ''Scholar's Rela-
ton to Politics." 1t should be placed in the
hands of every young man studying to quail
| fy himself to make good citizen"
A correspondent of the Daily Wisconsin, af-
ter giving the outline of Judge YanWyck's
grafton, concludes as follows:
senator VanWyck's Grafton is highly com
mended by all, and while they acknowledge
the distinguished ability of other gentlemen,
! there are many republicans in this county who
are sound to the core, who would like TO see
the honorable gentleman transferred from the
State Senate to the L. s. Senate, to fill the
place now disgraced by the recreant Doolit
| tle-a position which Mr.. Van Wyck would
| fill with honor and ability-and the people
would rest firmly in the assurance that ht
would never betray his trust"

WISCONSIN PEAT.-The ole of peat is
found in nearly every coun' he State. At
tempts have hitherto been made on a limited
scale to prepare it for the purposes to which
wood and coal are ordinarily applied. The
manufacture of peat is now in progress on a
Ilarge scale at Fond du Lac, and the question
will soon be fully tested as to its profitable
uses A capital of 100000 has been sub
scribed, and $780, 600 have been expended in
machinery in connection with The works. A
correspondent of the Milwaukee Sentinel gives
a full description of the machinery and
speaks of its results as follows:
''The machine has run over thirty-one days,
and has thrown out ten thousand tons of peat
as near as can be estimated. 1t cuts canal
twenty feet wide and five and a half feet deep.
The canal cut is nearly two miles in length.
The citizends of Fond du Lac look upon
this enterprise as the greatest one that has
been undertaken, and if the expectations are
half realized, the city will be immediately
benefited in growth and wealth. The mana
gers are shrewd men, and no mere specula-
tors, and the last men TO invest unproductive
capital. In the matter of fuel alone a great
advantage viii be gained, as it is estimated
that the peat can be furnished at least for 80
per cent less cost than wood. Nor will these
benefits accrue to this city alone, but will
spread through the entire west"

Racine Items.
The Adoocate says that on Monday of last

were sold in that city, and about one hundred
bushels shipped to Chicago.
Fifteen vessels were engaged in unloading
lumber and wood, in the harbor one day asst

of lumber were placed upon the dock that
day.
The Advocate complains that drunkenness
and rowdyism are common on the
streets in the night, and calls on the au-
thorities to enforce the ordinances.
