SUFFERING NEBRASKA.
Ten Thousand Destitute People In Danger of
starvation.

General Brlsbln, who was sent out
into Western Nebraska by General
Ord of the United States army, to
ascertain the true state OF Things
among the settlers, in his official re-
port describes the condition OF the
inhabitants of that region as most
deplorable, they having had every
thing swept from them by the un-
precedented drouLh of last year, and
the grasshopper raid of this year.
The inhabitants of some eight
counties bordering on the confines of
Nebraska have literally nothing in
the shape OF fuel, clothing or food to
carry them through the coming win
Tor. 1t should be borne in miad
that in that almost fuelless region
corn is used as y substitute tor coal,
because it is cheaper than any other
fuel, consequently their fuel is cut
OFT as well as their food. General
Brisbin says be travelled through
counties where not particle of meat
was to be had, and saw people living
on pumpkins, squashes, and black,
shriVeled corn b cad, and when he
left not an average OF ten days sup
plies remained If aid is not soon
sent to these unfoI tunate people,
they must ere long succumb to the
combined effects of cold aud starva-
ton. Having no food to eat, of
course they will be all the more sem
sitive to the cold weather. To
make the situation all the more try
ing, one-third of the people are in a
state of almost nakedness.
1t seems almost incredible that
such state of things should exist 10
this land of apparent plenty, but
nevertheless such is the fact. Gem
eral Brisbin informs Us that he has
seen a field of corn in q most beauti-
full state of growth stripped by an
army of grasshoppers of everything
green within two hours, leaving
nothing but the bare stalks.
But TO come directly to the poin t
the people Of the devastated re-
glon are absolutely in danger of
perishing uuless food. fuel and cloth
ing are furnished them by the more
fortunate people elewhere. A COM
mittee of Chicago's most Trustworthy
and energetic citizens has been ap-
pointed by the Board of Trade, to
receive aid for these destitute suf-
ferers. We bespeak for this COM
mittee abundant success. Let every
one who is able contribute to the aid
fund now being raised.

nation received from Southwestern

said, "My wife babe me give you a

when leaving, he gave her another OF

letter was written by Mrs. Tllton to
her husband. and asserting that the
word "sin" used did not refer to adul

been republished by any of the New

that this explanatory communication
would attract much attention and pro.

Wiping out Free Schools.

Stephen D. Herman, a candidate
for State Legislative honors in Ala
bama, said in stump speech at Wood
land, Ala, few days ago, that if he
was elected che ,Uould not tcait to see
lohether the civil rights bill passed or
not, but the first thing he pould do
would be to introduce a bill to WIPE
OUT THE ENTIRE 4 r E E
SCHOOL SYSTEM Of the STAGE. y
A number of those who heard the
speech, Republicans and others, say
that Mr. Herman "used the exact Ian
guage" quoted above, and that che
made the statement without reserva-
ton or explanation"
MIR. Herman is a representative
man in this movement, the secret OF
which, unfortunately for the cause, he
in the heat OF debate prematurely di'
vulged. The scheme has for its OBJ
ject to deprive the colored man of his
franchise, so that the Democratic par
ty would always be safe at the cleo
tons. To enact law taking from
the colored man the right of suffrage
would not do, for the laws of the
United States will not permit any dis
elimination on account of color; hence
it is quite certain that another and
more effectual plan must be resorted
to.
The Florence, Ala, Republican, Oc-
tober 20 says that in Alabama the
Democrats have their plans all ar
ranged and only need to carry the
November election to put them into
practical operation. First, they will
WIPE OUT THE ENTIRE FREE SCHOOL
SYSTEM, az they have already declar-
ed, and in that way place education
beyond the reach of the poor people of
all nationaltes, races and eolors. -
They will then enact law requiring
an educational and properly quaLifca
ton of all voters. The amount of ed
ucatlon required would OF course be
to read and write the English language
plainly. This would unquestionably
include nearly the entire colored pop

of them can read and write, and many
others possess the amount Of proper
W that would be required, there are
few that combine the educational and
property qualifications, and conse
quently all, or nearly all, would be
dIsfranchised.
In Texas and in some Of the other
Southern States, where, through the
efforts of the Republican party, the
same spirit and determination to abol-
ish the free school system prevails, the
colored people, being generally poor
and kept down in poverty, could not
pay for education; and then all that
would be required to deprive them Of
their elective rights as free citizens is
simply to establish an educational
qualification of all voters, after which
the dark skins would nc longer at
tempt to approach the ballot box

The Clerical Kiss.
From the Chicago Advance. !

Those who stand III no need of this
exhor tation will of course pay no at
tention to it. Those who do will per-
haps think it in "iIl-taste" to talk about
such things in the papers:
| have been disguised at the pro-
pensity of some Understanding and
high.looking D. DIS. to kiss other mems
wives. This habit lies at the root Of
every instance of undue familiarity
between the sexes. Does any one be-
lieye that criminal intercourse would
ever occur if there was not first undue
familiarity in the kiss? As most PEG
pie of any experience and observation
know, there is vast difference be-
tween the short, hearty kiss of friend
ship, which is perfectly proper, and
that lingering pressure of lips to lips
which, in majority of cases, cannot
but awaken sexual feeling, which most
sacredly belongs to those who stand
in the relation of husband and wife,
And yet some ministers do this kind
of kissing, sometimes very much TO
the disgust of the party kissed. Let
me give you case.

The Story of Charles Sumner.

The November number of Scribner
has an article On Senator Summers
pictures and engravlngs, which con
talns story that deserves q wider cir
culation than magazine can com
mand Over the dining room mantel
of the Washington house hung Tin
torretto's miracle of st. Mark" 1t is
supposed to be the study from which
Tintoretto painted the great picture
which is at Venice. The wife of a
Massachusetts Congressman once said:
"That painting made Charles Sumner
Senatorr' The saying was not as wild
hyperboe as it seems. The speech
which made Summers political 70:
tunes was that on "Our Immediate
Anti Slavery Duties which he deliv-
cred at Faneuil Hall, Nov. 6, 1850.
BY it, he placed himself at the head of
the Anti-Slavery party, cutting loose
from the political ties between himself
and the blue blood of Boston Mass,
achusetts repaid him with the Senator
ship. Judge Jay called this speech
"the greatest effort of the kind in the
English language" Its gist lay in
these words: There is legend of
the Church still living on the admired
canvas of a Venetian artist, that ST.
Mark, descending from the skies with
headlong fury into the public square,
broke the manaces of a slave in the
presence of the very Judge who had
decreed his fate. This is known as
The Miracle of the Slave and grand
ly has art illumined the scene! Should
Massachusetts hereafter, in an evi
hour, be desecrated by any such del
cree, may the good Evangelist once
more descend with valiant arm to
break the manacle of the slave. y
Sumner had seen and studied the
painting during his life in Europe
He made his recollection of it the
GROWING point OF his speech. His
description was quoted everywhere.
1t awoke popular enthusiasm that
gave him place and power.
The day after the speech, some one
sent him an engraving Of the picture

Joshua B. Smith, the colored member
OF the Massachusetts Legislature who
did so much to have the resolution of
censure rescinded, and who was sent
by Massachusetts to carry the glad
news to the Senator. 1t is now in
Mr.. Smiths possession. He may well
prize it as a picture with history.

IN. Y. Correspondence of Chicago Journal

IN Y. Correspondence Of chisago JournaIl
The lull in the Beecher Tilton scan
dal continues. People have talked
themselves out about the matter both
here and in Brooklyn. This quiet,
however, is doubtless simply the pre-
lude to the coming storms. By the
middle of November, when the Grim
inal suits begin, our papers will again
be filled with disgusting details of the
unhappy affair, and the scandal will
be revived in all its hideous enormity,
becoming again for days the one topic
of conversation. Mr. Moulton's friends
manifest considerable solicitude lest
the Edna Dean Proctor libel suit may
go heavily against him. Indeed one
of them expressed the opinion a few
days since that Frank Moulton would
have to go to prison for a year at
least The opinion continues to gain
ground that Beecher will win all the
suits with Tllton and Monlton. The

A Singular Circumstance and a
Strange Freak of Nature.
From the Green Bay twis.l Gazette

lRioM Tue Greeh Day NUisJ UaAottS'J
A. r. Abbitt lives near the south
ern boundary of the Third Ward, in
the city of Fort Howard, and is sur
rounded by a large and interesting
family. Some two years ago the
mother died, leaving triplets, and
shortly after the death two of the
lutte ones were quietly put to rest
by the side of the departed mother.
But, singular to relate, the surviving
one, by freak of nature, was usher
ed into this world with two upper
and two lower front teeth, while the
body was almost covered with soft,
silky hair, the hair on its back being
darker than on other parts of the
body. From the want of a mothers
care the little one seemed to slowly
sink, and looked as if it would soon
follow those which had gone before.
With few months' careful attention
and the assistance of loving hands
the little sufferer soon showed evil
dences of gaining health and strength.
With increasing age the motherless
one showed remarkable precocious-
ness: its antics and cunning ways
