is the only herd Law in force in the
State. We referred last week to "An
Act to protect cultivated lands from
tresspass by stOck'' headed "Herd
Law" which was being published in
State papers, and said this law had
passed the Senate but was indefinitely
postponed in the House. Not Observ-
ing the distinction between the IL
ties Of the two acts, farmershave writ
ten in to know if 'the Herd law was
not a law at last2" We say the law

Respectfully

A. w. Nickel. OF the firm Of Nc
Creery & Nickel, was this week APP
pointed County superintendent Of
Public instruction. No one doubts
but that he is capable and might fiji
the Office very ereditably to himself
and 70 the satisfaction Of the School
interests Of the County. But that he
can, and run his other business affairs
remains to be seen. We did hope that
some one would have been Sc
cured who would have Civ
en- TO the schools his best servi-
ces, and make other business Of sec
ondary importance. From this stand
point none Of the applicants really
suited u.s.. No man can serve two
masters effectively. The present APP
pOintee viii either neglect his own
business or the publie's; and from our
view he Is not likely TO let his own
being to him the most important of
the two, suffer. So we conclude we
viii not get the services we r enti-
tied to. His educational attainments,
moral character, personal habits and
experience as a teacher eminently
qualify him for the position, and we
are sorry that he viii be trammeled in
his usefulness by his business rela-
tons.

T. r, Fisher, of the Pawnee Trib-
u1e, was in Brownville last week. He
took back with him over 40, coo yellow
Cotton wood trees, one year old, which
he will sell to the farmers of Pawnee
county. Who can calculate the inn
mense benefit to that County Of that
number of trees set out and well pro-
tected for ten years from this date.
The expense would be trifing and the
man who could foretell the net profit
in 1879 now, would be considered Wis
isnary, if not crazy, by nine-tenths of
the farmers of Pawnee county.

Mr.. Catlin, the American ethnO-

led him through the widest scenery
in America, has turned his attention,
for several years past, from the In

these studies voyages to South Amer

which be isNpreparing to publish in a
work entitled 't"The Lifted and Sub
sided Rocks of America, with their
Influences on the atmospheric, Gee
anic and Land Currents" And one of
the striking features of the book seems
TO be, to quote his own words, the
discovery of river under the Rocky
Mountains many times larger than
the Mississippi's length, and gliding
through the clean and vast rocky cell

bis own party friends Even the Tribune
has its jeer at the old man, although Gree
ley contesses to a still lingering admiration
Of him, probably because Of his widely
known practice Of Grahamite doctrines,
With cruel sarcasm Mr.. Greeley says he
never thought of Ben Wade "exactly in the
light Of the great living monument Of the
age that his parliamentary performances
are not likely to enhance his reputation, and
that, on the whole, though valuable party
mau in time past, he is really oflittle account
and should be let down good naturally to
his proper level. One is forced to ask, is
this the old Roman who was so recently TO
"come in" with apple blossoms, prosperity
and Butler, ard save the republic? Then
"sturdy Ben Wade, bluff Ben Wade, was
the man Of destiny, his fingers were almos
closing upon the executive sceptre, and th'
prospect Of his intrenchment in tho Presl
