OUR NEBRASKA 4ETTER.
PARAMOUNT, Fillmore county, Neb.,

PARAMOUNT, Fillmore county, Neb.,(
July l, 1873.
Spring has passed. quickly away,
and bright, golden summer is upon
us. The brown unattractive prairie
has given way to carpet of green,
literally changing the face of the coun-
try. The brightest flowers are here
in the greatest abundance, and
strange birds keep a continual chat
teFing from morn till ''dewy eve." and
the heaviest dews do fall here of any
place l ever saw. 1t has been very
pleasant here for few day, and the
heat would be oppressive were it not
for the constant breeze. Last Friday
the mercury stood 80 ''in the shade"
We had thunder storm last night.
which has cooled the air, and it is
pleasant to-day.
l. Crops are looking we'll. 1t is esti-
mated that wheat will average tWen-
ty-three bushels per acre, and sod
corn twenty to twenty-five bushels.
That is the easiest crop raised here
One span of horses break the new
ground the first time, and the corn is
dropped through the sod by compli-
Gated little machine that ibis imposRi-
BILE for me to describe. 1t needs no
care or attention till it is ready to be
gathered some husk it, others break
the ear from the stalk husk and all,
and husk it as needed for use. Corn
is used to some considerable extent as
an article of fuel.
The sod houses are simply sods two
feet long and one foot wide, piled one
above the other till the desired height
is reached. Then among the better
class it is covered with two layers Of
matched flooring with tarred paper
between to keep out the water; and
plastered inside with water lime, and
a floor. But the poorer class are sat
isfied with bare black walls and the
earth for q floor, while the roof is of
brush and straw and dirt. Surely,
not very desirable place to live.
There gre great many snakes here,
the poisonous rattle-snake being
visitor much too often for conVe-
nience. l do not go into the cellar
without stopping to listen for the buz-
zing sound which is sure indication
of its presence. And right here LET
me give the remedy here used for the
bite 1t is one tablespoonful OF
gunpoWder, one of salt, and the white
of one egg; make and apply in the
form of salve. They tell me it is an
unfailing remedy. hope may never
have occasion to use it.
1t is Jast approaching the glorious
Fourth. | see Ravenna is to have its
share of festivities at that time. We
are by no means behind the times out
here. There are to be three ceIebra-
ton within reach of us-one on the
Blue River; one at Fairmont, and one
at a grove some distance southeast of
us.
We are to have an ice-cream festi-
val at the courthouse here next Tues
day evening under the auspices of the
Presbyterian society, and probably
plenty of lemonade; but nothing
stronger; for there is not saloon in
Fillmore county. This is fact we
are proud to acknowledge, and we
hope it will be long time before we
shall have to change our record.
There is plenty of room here for
all live men that wish to come. ttNone
other need apply.f
But, perchance / may be trespassing
on your time, so hasten to say ''good
night" BELLE BIGELoW.

GROWTH OF PUBLIC WEALTH.
Glancing at the extraordinary devel-
opment of public wealth in all civil
ized countries during modern times,
the Scientific Amleracan says that
among the forces affecting the produc-
tive power of the world and the gains
therefrom, the great mechanical in
ventions of the age stand first. The
rapid reparation of the immense waste
and losses with which the French
have paid their enormous war indem-
nifty to Germany, are conspicuous evil
kences of the growth of public
wealth. England has gained more in
the last two decades than in any pre-
vious half century in her history
Russia, Italy, Belgium, and Holland
are increasing in riches. The infiu-
ence of the leading productive forces
is destined to be more potential in the
future even than in the past. Mr..
Gladstone was, no doubt, right when
he said at Liverpool College, Decem-
ber %, 1872: More wealth has in
this little island of ours, been accu-
mulated since the commencement of
the present century-that is, within
the lifetime of many who are still
among us-than in all the preceding
ages, from the time, say, of julius

A correspondent who says that he
is a day-laborer, at fourteen shillings
day, inquiries of the New Y ork Sun
what is the difference between Con-
gress which passes a bill to rob the
Treasury, or the President who lob
bies for the passage of the bill, and
makes haste to sign it after it is passed
in order to increase his own salary,
against the law, and the cashier who
robbed the Atlantic Bank? Both
Congress and President were intrusted
with the safe-keeping of money be-
longing to others, and so was the
cashier of the bank; and each took
advantage of his official power and
opportunity to steal it without per-
missionlfrom those to whom it be-
longed.
The correspondent is entirely right
in his Judgment, and he does not put
the case too roughly. He is right also
when he says that the laboring men oi
this country will at last have to pay
this plundered money and it will be
well for them if they consider the
facts maturely before the next election

A APH1LosoPH1oAL DARKEY.

An elderly darkey with a very phil
osophical and retrospective cast of
countenance was squatting upon his
bundle on the hurricane deck of one
of the western steamers, toasting his
shins against the chimney, and appa-,
rently plunged in a state of medita-
ton. His dress and appearance indi-
Gated familiarity with camp life, and
it being soon after the capture of Fort
Doneisou, / was inclined to disturb
his reveries, and on Interrogation
found that he had been with the
Union forces at that place, when /
questioned him further. His philos-
ply was so much in the Falstafian
vein that will give his views in his
own words, as near as my memory
serves me.

RESTORATION OF A NosE.-In one of
the German medical periodicals DIR.
Malfath describes the treatment of a
man whose nose had been cut off by a
sabre. The wound was through the
cartillaginous part of the bridge of
the nose, dividing the left ala along its
posterior third, the septum through
its middle, and the right ala, two lines
behind the anterior angle of the nos
tril. The piece cut off was taken up
from the place where it lay on the
ground, cleaned with cold water and
reapplied, being secured in its place
by means of sutures. A week after
the injury dry scab began to form
on the left ala, and extended in the
course of three days over nearly the
whole nose. Granulations gradually
formed, healing went on steadily, and
now careful examination is required
to detect any trace of the injury.

How THE APACHEs POP THE QUEs-
TIoN.-Even those copper-colored cut
throats, the Apache Indians, have
touch of delicaey in them. From q
lecture delivered in San Francisco by
Col. John G. Carmany, we take the
following account of their counting
customs: Every young girl is at lib
ertv to refuse suitor for her hand
The father and mother are prohibited
from interfering in her choice. Her
person is at her own disposal. After
a brief courtship the lover makes a
formal proposal by offering so many
horses. Horses are a standard of val
ue among Indians. AS the squaW
does all the work, horses are accepted
as an equivalent for her labor. When
a young warrior becomes senamored,
he fastens his horse near the wigwam
whose hand he seeks, where he is left
four days. If she fails to feed and
water the horse in that time, the
master is rejected but if she accepts
his offer she grooms and kindly cares
for the horse, and ties him to the wig
wan of her lover, as much as to say,
" | am willing to be your slave and do
your work" At the marriage the
sages and sachems meet together and
the bride is not unfrequently loaded
with forty to fifty pounds of silver
and copper trinkets. tiHH Ht

fastest TIME.-The fastest running
time on record was made at the races
in Sacramento, California, on Satur-
day last. The following were the
horses entered: B. I'll. Thornhill, Nell
Flaherty, Thad. Stevens, Queen and
Twenty Cents. The first heat was
won by ThornhilI in 1 :43, beating
Flaherty half length, stamping both
horses as being the fastest running
horses in the United States. In the
second heat Flaherty made the half
mile in '5I, leading Thornhill, coming
home ahead again and repeating in
:43, the same time as the first heat
This was something wonderful, moth
ing like it being on record in the time
table in this country. a.
In the third heat Thornhill led to
the half mile, passing it in fifty and a
half. The third, fourth and fifth heats
were won by neither-Thad. Stevens
winning all in 1 :4311z, l :4619, 1 :45.--.
The five heats were made in 8 :05, be-
ing the fastest time on record in the
world.
