GRANT, thus giving GREELEY seventeen Of
the twenty-eight. Will anybody give n
sound reason for supposing that these gem
temen do not reflect the state of feeling
in the Republican party Of New York;
Let not the friends of DIR. GREELEY out
side of New York be disturbed about this
state. He will receive larger majority in
November than the state has given for any
Cnndidntc in the last twenty vcnrs.

love for Mr.. Greeley 10y continuous cheering
from the hotel TO the cars. lie Was escorted to
the depot by the full committee, who seemed to
part from him with rs much regret as did the
masses Of the people. In the cars the plJloso-
pher wasLagain subjected to vigorous hand
shaking that lasted until the train moved away.
The ladies in the car then took their turn, and
pressing forward with cards, fans, scraps Of pa
per, and other substitutes for albums, begged
for his autograph, which the philosopher cheer
fully gave to all Comers, smiling silly IA he
watched their curious efforts to Interpret the
odd Characlers he made.

The morning was fearfully hot and the road
frightfully dusty, thus combining to make the
trip to Newport about as disagrecable as Il
could well be, but the next President stood II
maniully' occasionally dropping on Into doze,
little knots at the way stations as the train
sped past. or indulldng In pleasant anecdotes
with those who sat near him, He reached New

This morning Nr. Greeley rose at o o'clock to
prepare for his homcward journey, which was
to commence at half-past ;. He was scarcely
out u his bed when he received the card OF -
Hon. G.. l.. kimhall Democratic candidate for
Governor " Maine, who was himself received a
few minutes later, and remained for an hour In
ward he hreakfastcd with MIR. Greeley and his
party. He expressed the most sanguine expec-
tatiuns of carrying the state Of Maine next fall
for the Liberal cause, and gave facts and figures
tol show the sOundnc-s OF his Impressions. He
pronounced the .trcugth uf the Greeley move
ment In the Pine Tree State "a most remarkable
and as sure to divide the Republican party into
equal parts. With the Democrats, he said, there
was perfect unanimity for honest Horace, and
no doubts were entertained that he would carry
the state by handsome majority.

Lady's Foreign Missionary Society.

Mrs. Angie Newman, of Lincoln, g,
spoke at the Methodist church last
Sunday morning in behalf of the
Lady's Foreign Missionary Society.
This is a. society organized by the
ladys of the NJ. +. church, and its
special object is TO seEd missionaries
and educated lady physicians to hea-
then women. The women of India,
China and nearly all eastern countries
are kept in darkness and slavery, and
their peculiar social customs seciude
women from the society Of men. SO
close is this seclusiOm that no heather
woman of those countries is ever al
lowed to be seen or treated by any
male physician, and are therefore of
ten left to die of neglect and cracltY
They can however be attended by
ladys, and it is one Of the first objects
OF this society to reach them in this
way, and minister to their bodily auf-
ferings. Mrs. Newman gave a very
interesting account of the condition,
social and moral, Of the people of
Indi and China, particularly, which
is the field of labor for this society :;
and the great difficulty which have
had to be overcome, and We are sure
that she awakened the sympathies of
all towards suffering heathen WOMAN

OUR RAIL ROADS.

We have nothing Of particular note
( this week in relation to our r. r. en-
! terprises, other than that those hay
ing them in charge are exercising
their usual zeal and industry in ad-
vancing matters rs rapidly as possible
The BrOwnville, Fort Kearnev &
Pacific work, under that prince of r.
II. men, Fitzgerald, is moving right
along toward Tecumseh. Tie work
men on this end Of the lire are bal
lasting up, and getting in order for
the rolling stock. The cars will be
running to Tscumseh this fall.
The Trunk enterprise is waiting CT
Otoe and Cass Counties. The vote
takes place in the former on the 2lst.,
and the latter on the 3Ist. of this
month. We are informed by those
who ought to know, that there is 10
doubt as to the bonds carrying i'm both
counties. The grading and tieing of
this Road Will undoubtedly be dong
by the coming Spring.
Fifteen miles of the Valisca and
BrOwnville Road will be running this
Fall, and will be pushed along rapid
ly in the Spring.
We are not authorized to say so, but |
from what we knoy, believe the iron
will be put down from Brownville to
Phelps, and ears running, very soon.
IN short, Brownville is bound to be
the r. r. city South of the Platte,
and that very soon.

sanba4h School Pickle.

The Sabbath School Picnic of the
several schools in this city passed off
very pleasantly on last "Wednesday af-
! ternoon, in the grove south ofBrown-
vile. All enjoyed the occasion very
much. The order of exercise appear
ed te be for every one to follow, the
dictates of the spirit, and have all the
pleasure that the time and place
would admit Of: Following out thia
inclination, the first nine engaged in
a game of base ball, under the COM
mand of Captains Lett and Gibson.
The game became very exciting. 1t
was admitted by all that there was
some very fine striking done, but the
hitting was below the average. The
catching was eXcellent-especially
those caught on the side of the head.
\ home run was made by Rich and
Hays III an early stage of the game.
Your reporter failed to see this, but
was tod by an eye witness that they
made mile a minute. They have
not been beard from since.
Prof. ID. was engaged in telling the |
young ladies their fortunes, and the
young ladies were engaged ia. having |
their fortunes told. Thus everything |
was passing off as pleasant as "a mar
riage bell, when an unfounded rumor
was circul@ted that Brother Gilmore
was lost, and immediate search was
prepared for. While this preparation
was going on our minds naturally re-
verted to Doctor Livingstone, Doctor
Franklin, the nincty-nine sheep that
were lost, the one sheep that was not
lost, besides a great many other things
that ought to be lost. 1t was, hOwev-
er, unanimously agreed that Brother
Gilmore was not included in the
.hings that ought to be lost. Search
being instituted he was soon found, f
ust where we might expect to find
such a man, engaged in treating the ;
to a ride in the swing. Long
i've Gilmore say the children, and if
ever he is lost they will, without re- ;
gard to denomination, nationality,
,r color, turn out en- D.ussc to hunt {
lim up. {
IN the evening the ladies began to ]
wink at each other-they huddled to. {
talked low down-they l
ooked wise and mysterious. 1t was {
evident that Qmetbing was up. Your {
reporter rushed for pen and paper, |
Out the ladies were little too fast |
or him. On his return, here, there
md everywhere, snow white table
,lOths were spread upon the grass, ]
md before his pencil could be sharp |
ned supper was announced-and 1
low what was to be done? If an at
empt was made to write up the sup !
Der at once, McCreery. Dunn, Dye,
lett and their followers would eat It
Ill up, and be compelled to go home |
hungry. If I took a hand with them t
It the table, close attention to busi-
less w6uld prevent general Observa- +
ion of the surroundings, and, hence, {
would not be ahte to give a graphic '
