GONE 10 VISIT.
Our associate and co-worker of the TINES,
Gen. d. w. Wilder, started Eat day before
for visit, first with his friends
and then with his aged and venerable school
mates ut the Harvard University. Web is a
graduate of that obscure institution, and he
is intent upon meeting again the bald-headed
and gray-headed society Of early college
days. We expect to hear from him, while
in that atmosphere, but perhaps in the San
scrit or some other tongue unknown to US.
We bespeak for him a pleasant trip. kind
greetings among his old friends, and safe
return to his appropriate field Of endeavor.

ton of the Republicans Of Brown and Ne
maha counties for the Senate. We are par
grati6ed at this nomination. Mr..
Slesson is capable man, and one who stands
snuare in his boots. An old resident and
always right on the main issues, as we'll as
com,,etant and honest; the pnrty could
hardly do otherwise than make him the
standard carrier for that District. Of course
he will be elected. .....-
ON A HIGH.
The Kansas River is on quite bender af-
ter months of steady habits. Like people
who get "high," it goes to tearing things to
pieces. The temporary bridge built by the Cal
weston Railway Co, to run over freight cars,
ha. been partially carried away. The bridge
itself was Of no great account, except a. it
facilitated the transfer Of freight from the
X. z. T. X. to the Galveston Railway with
out unloading the cars. r.
IL demanding the surrender Of the prov
inccs Of Alsace and Lorraine, Prussia does
no more than the United States demanded Of
Mexico, a. condition Of peace, after We had
invaded and suEugated that country very
much as the Prussians are doing in France.
We demanded the annexation Of California
in part settlement, and it was readily agreed
10. If it is wrong for Prussia to demand
Alsace and Lorraine, then it was equally
wrong for us to take California. The cir
cum.tances and results of our war with Mex
ico were very much the same as are those Of
Prussia's war with France. .-..-.
The city of Charleston is slowly rising
from the ruins in which it was LEFT at the
close of the rebellion, New buildings have
been erected in the burned district, the water
front has been repaired, and the streets give
decided indications of renewed life and pros
perity. One or two more abundant cotton
crops will undoubtedly complete the work OF
restoration, and cfface ell vestiges Of former
misfortune Indeed, Aith the increased de-
veiopment Of the back country, and improved
methods of cultivation, there Is no reason
why Charleston should not attain an import
ance it has never yet known. 7o
