LIBERAL REPUBLICANS. "

This is name which Democratic poll
tongues" No one is..verdant enough to sup
pose for one moment that the Liberal Re
publicans" of Missouri are anything more
OF less than q set of Democratic dema-
gogues, who would "steal the livery of
Heaven to serve the devil in" In the
Liberal Republican movement which led
to the election of B. Gratz Brown, the
Missouri Democrat took the lead. To its
influence, more than to any other source,
Brown owes his election. Like all men
who are guilty of treachery at any time,
his friends now see that he has betrayed
them. Here is what the Democrat now
says of the Liberal Republican, move
ment in that State, of which Democratic
editors speak with so much pleasure:
The opposing county Republican organiza-
tiOns have almost, if not quite, everywhere
fused. The members of the two State commit
tees have unanimously expressed themselves
for harmony and cooperation irrespective of
candidates for the Presidency. The majority
Of the old 'liberaf' committee, have signed
with the other committee the call for one con-
vention for all Republicans to elect delegates to
the National Convention. The entire Republi-
can press of the State, with but two or three ex-
ceptions at most, join in the call and go for one
Republican party in Missouri All that can be
opposed to these facts is the fact that no miracle
has been wrought to shut the mouths of dema-
gogues eager to make what they can by stealing
the name Of Liberal Republicans" They are
by nobody more heartily e1ecrated than by the
Republican masses who, in 1870, in honest faith
rallied for the re-enfranchisement amendment
of the State Constitution, without the slightest
notion of degrading themselves into doors of
as well as shrewdness of these demagogues is
shown in the gathering yesterday, meant to be
of national importance, and to convey the i'm
preston of a powerful party organization be-
hind it in the State, yet delegate contention,
but simply mass meeting, with every effort
made to swell the assemblage.

Correspondence OF the HERALD
Notes on Nebraska.

Mr.. EDITOR Having been former
ly a resident of Old Grant, | natural
ly take some interest in its people,
and beg, therefore, to tell them some
thing about that part of our common
wealth known as Clay County, Ne
ska,-sOmething descriptive and,
it may be, instructive.
The climate here is mild and health-
fnl, the air being pure and dry and
seldom filled with vapors. The eur
face OF the country is level 80 much SO
that houses and other prominent OBJ
jects can be distinctly seen with the
unaided eye at distance of twenty
mics. The county was organized
last November. Sutton, the county
seat for the present, is situated near
its northeastern limit, on the line of
the Burlington and Missouri River
r r. The st. Joseph and Denver
K X. is also in process of construc-
ton it will be completed the COM
ing summer, it's course being right
through the heart of Clay County.
Our soil is rich, deep and black,
and covered with prairie or buffalo
grass. The breaking can be easily
done with a team of horses or yoke
of oxen hitched 10 a 10-inch plow.-
Good crops can be raised the first
year. Timber is found along streams
in quantities sufficient for fuel and so
far for building purposes. GOOD wa,
ter and plenty of it is found on the
level prairies at depth Of from IS
to 80 feet. Vigorous streams abound
mall parts of the coun ty.
Spring Rancho, the place where
these notes are written, is regular
ly laid out village situated on the
Little Blue River, as beautiful wa
ter course as can be found in the
West. Shops, stores and steam
saw mill have we already, the build
ing of Touring mill is in contempla-
ton. Those who want homesteads,
and are DESTROYS of attaining an in-
dependence in life, will find the for.
mer and can achieve the latter here.
The public domain is fast decreasing,
and the sooner s. man secures a POI
sition the better. Nebraska is turn
ing considerable attention to the cul
tivation OF fruit. Climate and soil
are well adapted thereto, and the
colder Territories of the North west
will ever be q ready market. To the
capitalist | would say there are few
places that present greater induce
ments for the investment of ready
cash, than Clay County, Nebraska.
Yours Respectfully,
J. W. LANGFoRD.

The Devil in Schools.


The Bible ia our common schools
has excited considerable attention of
late. This is all right but | cannot
help regretting that the Devil in our
public schools has not received lite
tie of their attention before this
That be is in the public schools, and
raging and rampant there, no one
can doubt for moment, who reads,
occasionally, the accounts of brutal
and barbarous pnnehments to which
little children are subjected in some
cases. Or that he is among the pu.
pills, as well as among the teachers,
no one can well doubt who has sent
q little child into them, as guiltless
of evil or unclean thoughts as a new
liz fallen snow fake, and had him
come home, IN short time, contain
mated almost beyond belief by the
vilenesss and filth which be has seen
and heard and learned there. Minis
tiers should be the jealous guardisns
of the public purity and they shonia
lead the public, 10 all matters Of edu-l
cation and culture. not only in q gen.
eral way, but down into the details
of lite.-Old and Neir.

General Grant and His Assaila nts.

From this time to the assembling
Of the Republican Convention the
attempt to stain the character of
the President, and TO stigmatize him
TO the country as unfit for another
term, will be incessant and malevo-
lent, But he has been in the wilder
ness beforehand he came out of il.
They mistake profoundly and per-
ilously who suppose that the people
forget, or that the mists of caumny
that gather about every Administra.
ton have obscured the remembers
ances of the days when General
Grant was the hope of America and
of liberty. Coming fresh from the
camp to the Cabinet, has he betrayed
one OF the great principles Of the
party which lifted him to power?
Differing from many honored lead
ers, as they differ among themselves,
has he forgotten the emancipated
race or the honor of the nation or
the welfare Of the people? Silent by
nature and by the conditions of his
position, has he to one honest mind
seemed guilty Of any of the foul char
ges that have been Numbered against
him? There will certainly be am i'm
dignant reaction in the mind and
heart of the American people against
the relentless effort to injGre the
good name of the President of the
United States--a reaction which will
surely and triumphantly re.elect him,
as man who, ia the "ferce light"
of the intensest party animosity, as
in the long doubt of the war, has
shown himself modest and faithful
servant of his country.-Harpers'

Home Again.

Mr.. VIM. +. Cramer, of the EUeninq
Wisconsin, thus describes his feelings
on landing in New York, after an
absence of three years in Europe :
New York looks dirtier and more
misgoverned than usual, and the
people whom one meets in the streets
seem as if they were running race,
so hurried are their movements. A
torrent like Niagara seems to be
pushing every one forward in what
ever he is doing The person who
lands in New York after long
absence in Europe, must be impress
ed with the preciousness of time, for
no one seems To have moment to
spare.
The clear, bright winter atmos-
phere of our climate is one of those
fortunate gifts which endcars our
country to the returning traveller
The Italian sky, over which poets
and painters have been so rapturous,
does not seem to me as bright and
electrical as the atmosphere of our
land. The dull, leaden sky of Eng
land and Northern France during
the winter takes away one half the
pleasure of living there. Our ether
is so blue, clear and bright, and the
air is so invigorating that | compare
it with the blessings which God has
dispensed to other people and upon
other lands.

About Dress and the Selection of Col
orS.

From Madame Demorest's Fashion Monthly
There are indications that colors
subdued by natural tints will be quite
fashionable this season, and we will,
therefore, indicate to our readers
some of the combinations which may
be used to advantage.
For years past it has been the GUS
tom 10 use natural tints for tho
groundwork, and color for the mount
ing, or garniture. A change so de-
cided, therefore, produces all the eff,
feet of novelty, and constitutes most
powerful and effective contrasts.
We have very light blue, or green,
for example, trimmed with white, or
black, or both, the white being in
very small proportion. Turquoise
blue, which is also light, is trimmed
with drab, fawn, mouse, or dove COLI
or. Pink and black have been asso-
ciated with good effect for sometime
past, but English pink is now brought
into juxtaposition with violet, and
very eharmingly relieved by slight
Introduction Of black or white.
Lilac is best mounted with crim-
son, or with tea-rose color, or both,
but should not be worn by blondes,
as the influence of lilac, though very
good when it is of light tint, in
bringing out the gold in the hair, has
a most injurious effect placed IN con-
trast with the skin. The colors par
ticnlarly to be avoided by light
blends are yellow, orange, red, the
puppies, including lilac, and gray, or
slate color, unless supplemented by
light blue. All neutral tints, such as
browns and drabs, must be light and
relieved with black aud white, light
blue, or light green, to be becoming
to fair complexion.
A blond of a deeper and r'4dier
type, with more color in the face,
may wear somewhat deeper shades
than the very fair blends, but
the rule will hold good in regard to
colors. All the shades of dark and
russell browns, crimson, maroon, and
yellow, are suitable for the brunette.
especially the pale type, whose com>
plexion contrasts so wonderfully with
hair and eyes. Maize, or gold color,
is very becoming, but is most effec-
tive associated with black or crimson
for day wear, and white for evening
wear.
Dark blue, dark green, and lilac
should be worn by brunettes Of "a
more forid type, with a good deal of
red in the complexion, but should be
avoided by those having suspicion
of yellow.
Black and white are becoming to
nearly all persons, but especially TO
light blondes and pale, clear bru-
nettes both bring out strongly the
rich tints of hair and eyes. light
blue will relieve black for ruddy
blonde, and maize, or tea-rose, for
high-colored brunette.
Straw color or nankin, sor blue,
produces most agreeable contrast,
and deeper blue harmonizes admir-
ably with chocolate brown. Tur-
quoise blue ribbons and ornaments
are very pretty with garnet, and lilac
with maze, and black or white, and
red. White and crimsoA as garniture
upon black has the best effect, and is
particularly becoming to a pale bru.
nette. Black and white, without the
red, is becoming upon blue to the
blonde.
