rich cities of the east. The reason of its
rapid and unprecedented increase in
numbers is to be attributed to the fact
that whether by design or accident. the
site seems to have been selected at the
very spot where the railroads reaching
out into Nebraska and thence on West
should ind natural crossing, and now
the foundation is laid for CITY, and it
Will always have the advantage of being
in the center of great grain growing
region, and at the point where one can
ship to either St Louis or Chicago. and
this always makes a few cents difference
in fare and every bushel of grain sells for
a little more, and this in many years will
add to the material wealth of the city.
| Here is located the public institutions of
the State, c. at least a portion of them.
The State House was put up on the
cheaps, and is a swindle, and came near
doing last winter what it ought to have
done-fallen down. The Insane Asylum
was burned down a little over a year
since, and all the people believe it was
set on fire at the suggestion of those in
terested in its building. The State Uni
versity is a college capable of accommo-
dating a large number of scholars, and is
under the management of good faculty.
1t is the Agricultural College of the
State, and as an educational institution
is fast taking its rank among the first
ones of our country.
Just west and north of the city about a
mile, are the two great salt basins, so
called. To look at them from the city
they look like small lakes of water, but
one is much surprised to find on going
to them that it is salt and not water at
which he has been looking. The salt
oozes out of the ground as the water
is evaporated, and the dryer the season
and the hotter the sun the more salt is
deposited on the ground. have seen it
about as thick over the ground as light

and but for the attempt of some sharpers
trying to get this land, it would now be q

ton, and when it will get out, seems
hardly to be in the question.
This whole valley seems to be impreg
mated with salt, and wherever the rail
road tracks have been thrown up fol
some distance above and below the city
in dry time the salt is deposited on the
ground. 1t is the head of Salt Riyer-noi

The following is the latest news from
the obnoxious Van Pelt, the New
Vienna whisky seller as given by cor
respondent of the Commercial:
Our noble ladies, Notwithstanding the
rain and mud, are out again to-day in
full force They left the Baptist Church
by twos, each couple having an umbrella
to protect them from the rain, and
marched for the ''dead-fall' of the noto-
rious Van Pelt, the only remaining
whisky seller in our town.
He (Van Pelt) has taken new tack
to-day. When he saw them coming, he
left his rancho and met them on the plat
form at the depot, where he for short
time engaged them in conversation. He
refused to return with them, saying if
they wanted to run the trap to go ahead,
and then left them and went across to
Clark's establishment, where nothing
but little innocent cider is dealt out
This is the first manifestation of cow
ardice that this wicked man Van Pelt,
has displayed, and we think it a good
omen The animal having fed from his
den, the ladies did not see proper to go
in, but spent short time in devotional
exercises on the platform, and then re-
turned to the church.
Van Pelt was arrested this morning for
selling liquor contrary to law, but waived
an examination. The case is set for
Friday. He sets this as plea for not
hearing the ladies to-day-that they have
again resorted to legal measures, and
that law and prayer are antagonistic.
Mr.. Hubbard will go to Leesburg to-
night, by request of the citizens of that
village and organize the movement there.
We feel confident that success will
L n
severing ladies, and that the time is not
far distant when not drep of the fiery
demon will be dealt out in our beautiful
village.

LINCOLN, NEB., Jan. &C. 1874.
DEAR STANDARD: - Here l am looking
at and wondering over this great prairie
country, for such it is. This is the State
Capital, made so in 1867, at which time
there were perhaps five or six houses here
and a population of 80 to 40 persons, but
nothing else inviting capital Of a State

quainted with the country.
In six years this place has grown from
the small number above, until now it is

COMFORTS AND LUxURIIS OF THE FlRr.

There is class of farmers who are liv.
ing only to grasp more acres. Their farms
can never be large enough, nor can their
workmen or themselves ever do quite
enough work. They cannot be satisfied
with the income of farm, nor could they
be with that of any other business. But
those who understand that the highest OBJ
iect of labor is not simply to make money,
but to provide the largest amount Of the
means of improvement and innocent en-
joyment the world affords, can make the
pursuit of agriculture furnish more luxu-
ries that really contribute to our well.be-
ing. than any other employment requiring
an equal amount of capital. Their farms
are not so large as to make slaves of
themselves and their sons, ard their wives
and daughters are not worn out with in
cessant drudgery. Their door-yards BIOS
som with flowers, their tables are supplied
with many varieties of well.grown deli
cious fruit. their houses are made cheerful
by the influence of books and music, and
a taste for the pure and innocent enjoy
mcnts of life is developed in their children.
Here and there farmers home cxempli-
fies all the contentment and happiness
possible to race doomed to labor and
