A Grangers' D0uble-Traek Line from
Ocean 10 Ocean.

For several months there has been
a scheme working, which, until with
in short time, has been brought to
nothing at all tangible. There have
been Overtures to Eastern and Pacific
Coast capitalists, but, as has been
stated, nothing has come in the shape
of results until recently. Within q
few days, however, there have been
developments that will warrant max
ing the matter public. Since the ad-
jOurnment Of Congress and for some
little time before, a movement has
been on foot for a Graugers' Railway
from east to West" The agitators
have been working hard, but in a
quiet way, until now they think they
"haye a case.U Yesterday q meeting
was held in this city which was COM
posed of Eastern, Western, and South
ern capitalists. and in which there
was great unanimity in the project.
Whether the meeting was composed
entirely of Changers or not cannot be
stated, so quiet was the matter kept.
Indeed, it was not until q late hour
last evening that the reporter learned
that the gathering here had actually
taken place. There is abundant cap
ital and all the influence necessary" I"
the movers say, "tO make the scheme
a success, and no efforts will be
spared" 1t is proposed to make
a through double-track line from
the Atlanticj to the Pacific.
1t is not proposed, however, to con-
struct it all the way, but by connec-
tions that the projectors know they
can get, to accomplish their purposes.
Whether the Boston scheme has any
thing to do with this cannot yet be
learned, but it is believed that it has.
Numerous Excursion" parties have
been visiting illinois recently, and il
is given out that the object is to in
vestigate into the feasibility Of the
matter.-C Chicago Inter Ocean.

Wheat Growing in Nebraska.

This State is now attracting consid-
erable attention as one OF the best
fields for settlement in the Union.
In climate and soil it meets the con-
ditions required for the successful
cultivation of all the productions Of
the temperate zone, and also some of
the sub-tropical.
1t is not often that corn and wheat
thrive equally well in any country;
but as it is in Nebraska, corn is the
first staple crop, of course; but so soon
as the farmer is well settled upon the
land, he puts in wheat. The wheat
Of Nebraska is in good favor; and in
st. Louis and Chicago markets its
price averages several cents per
bushel more than the wheat of the
neighboring States can command
In bread making qualities the wheat
of Nebraska only ranks second to
that of California, with which it does
not come into competition.
The agricultural triumphs which
have been achieved in Nebraska are
the work of little more than ten years,
and, as the country is settled, and the
position of the farmer becomes easier,
wheat ranks highest among the crops
of the country. In 1860, when the
population was 5000, the wheat crop
amounted to IA, 1857 bushels, or about
ST bushels per head; and in 1870,
when the population was 122, 900, the
wheat crop was 2, 49, ,0S6 bushels, or a
little under 174 bushels per head.
The population of 1873 can only be
estimated, and therefore it is best
not given; but the wheat crop of that
year, (which was an unfavorable
agricultural year. amounted to 5000,
600 bushels. The record is therefore
still one of advancement for the
young State; and it is to be remem-
bered that stock raising, fruit culture,
corn growing, and all other agricul-
tursl work advances equally with
wheat raising. Nebraska is there
fore promising State for the settler;
and the more especially since it has
good markets both east and west and
south.

A Terrible Prospect for England.

England is threatened with a new
and terrible infiiction-a scarcity of
water. In consequence Of the un-
preeedented dry winter last passed it
is apprehended that the summer and
autumn OF the present year, must in
evitably be attended with q scarcity
Of water, particularly in small towns
and villages where there are few or
no reservoirs Of water, so as TO main
tain an average supply. The eireum-
stances have been brought under the
notice Of the British Government
which has placed itself in cOmmunea-
ton with the Sanitary Commission /;
the result is an order tO ascertain the
nature and extent Of the existing
water supplied in all the districts,
and the source which may be proper
perIy relied upon for the purpose Of
supplying any present or prOspee-
tive deficiency. Upon the sanitary
authority is thus thrown the respOn-
sibility Of providing their districts
with q sufficient supply Of waiter,
and OF taking every available pre- eau
tiOn in the storage OF water IN the
localities likely To suffer from
drought. Further, the existing
sources Of supplies are to be economic
ed, and, WheE practicable within the
time steps taken tn insure an addi-
tlOnal supply. Where there is no
water company to cooperate with,
the sanitary authority may not only
construct and maintain water works,
but also dig wells, and in short, DO
everything that is necessary to pro-
vide q water supply for each district
that may require it. In urgent cases
q temporary supply for domestic use,
and for flushing sewers and drains
may be provided, the cost TO be wholly
or in part reimbursed by the parties
thus accommodated.

TWO-Year Old Beef

English are noted for the early age
at which they force their cattle to the
beef point. How it is done was told
by a farmer at meeting Of the KING
scote Agricultural Association
Twelve COWS are engaged in rearing
calves, which are fattened from birth,
and are sold at about twenty-five
months old, when they weigh from
100 to 80 stone. The calves which
have to be purchased are carefully
selected. They are weaned at three
months old, having been previously
been kept short Of milk and fed partly
on Cruel, and then induced to feed on
oil cake and hay. SuppOsing them to
be weaned in December, their daily
raticn at six months old would be one
and three-fourths pounds or two
pounds OF linseed cake, with the same
quantity Of bean meal, and sufficient
amount OF grain, mangOlds and hay.
The cake and meal are gradually In
creased, till at twelve months old the
calves get twice the quantities just
mentioned.
In summer the other articles OF diet
which have been named are replaced
while it lasts), tare, (which are also
good and grass, with second cut clo-
yer. The whole Of the green food is
elt and brought to the animals in
their sheds and houses, which they do
not quit till the proper period arrives
for sending them to the butcher, by
which time their daily ratiODs have
been increased to four pounds oil
cake and six pounds Of bean
meal, with roots and 3
moderate allowance Of hay.
The principle of management Is TO
let the animals continually master
or outgrow their food, pushing them
on rapidly the last three months, 80
as to land them fat at something un-
der two years old.
After some discussion, the follow
ing resolution was passed by a large
majority: "This meeting is OF the
opinion that a well-bred calf, IL kept
well from the time II is dropped, and
not turned out the first year, can be
brought out fit for the butcher at two
years old, with profit"

The Herald is in favor of the pro-
hibitiOn of the traffic in intoxicating
drinks, and we think it would be to
the Welfare of our land if public SEN
timent was advanced to the point OF
faithfully carrying out such laws.
We do not train, however, in the Pro-
hibition or any other one idea party,
but see 10 reason why the Republican,
as the party of reform in this country,
should not take step in the right di-
rection by selecting the kind of men
to enforce all temperance laws that
may from time to time be enacted,
whether for restriction or prohibition
ofliquor selling.-MdnsfeLd Herald.

The lSdnitdrida tells "What Alcohol
Will Do" thus SIT may seem
strange, but it is nevertheless true,
that alcohol, regularly applied to a
thrifty farmers stomach, will re-
move the boards from the fence, let
cattle into his crops, kill his fruit
trees, mortgage his farm, and SOW bis
fields with wild oats and thistles- It
will take the paint of his building,
break the glass out of the windows,
and fill them with rags. II will take
the gloss from his clothes and polish
from his manners, subdue his reason,
arouse his passions, bring sorrow and
disgrace upon his family, and topple
him into q drunkard's grave. Il will
do this to the artisan and capitalist,
the matrOn and the maiden, as well
as 20 the farmer for in its deadly
enmity to the human race, alcohol Is
no Tespecter Of persons.

The Bronze Work for the Lincoln Non.
ument.

The Ames Company, of Chicopee,
Massachusetts,, have now begun upon
their greatest work, the statuary de-
signed by LarkIn G.. Mead, the Brat
tleboro sculptor at Florence, for the
national Lincoln monument at
Springfield, Illinois. The models for
at the works in October, 1870.
These completed works are pro-
nounced each perfect by competent
judges. Mr.. Lincoln stopped in the
shoulders just enough to spoil the fit
of coat about the breast, and the sta
tue shows this imperfection, while the
peculiar contour Of the features, the
full lower lip, the mole in his cheek,
nose, unlike any other except Lin
coins, sll are faithfully reproduced.
The four emblematic groups for the
monument, representing the infantry,
cavalry, artillery, and the navy, yet
remain to be done. These are paid
for py'the cities of New York, Chicago,
Boston, and Philadelphia, and are
each to cost S13,7 The Presidents
statue cost the same amount, while
1.500 is paid for the coat-of-arms. The
infantry and navy groups have arriv-
ed at the works, and the latter is be-
ing cut up for the moulding; the for
mer is greatly shattered by its passage
across the water, and must be prActi-
cally reconstructed. Indeed, it is so
badly broken as to seem beyond the
hope Of restoration, but, with patient
treatment, the superintendent is GER
tain of getting it ready for the work
men in time. Upon the monument
the coat-of-aTms will be placed in front
of the pedestal which bears the statue
of Mr.. Lincoln, while around him, at
the four corners of the base of the
shaft, are placed the four groups; still
lower upon the monument, the States
of the Union are represented by cor
don linking them together.
The symbolic groups are strongly
designed-the naval service, which is
the only one that can be studied, is
especially spirited. Here the captain,
sailor, and cabin boy are each given
in the infantry group the color bear
er, private and drummer, in the cav
airy two grades of the cavalrymen,
tc.,-in each surrounded by the ac-
cessories Of one of the four branches
of the service. The reproduction Uf
this work in bronze will occupy the
comnanv several wears at least.

Once on a time, in Indost an,
A thief conceived cunning plan
| $50 potent is the voice OF hope)
To save his throttle from the rope,
Though now the day was drawing nigh
When he by law was doomed to die.
He bade the Tailor tell the King
He fain would show o wondrous thing
A precious secret, fairly worth
The ear OF any prince on earth.
And now the culprit, being led
Into the royal presence, said:
'This golden coin which here you see,
II planted, will become tree
Whose efruit-increased a hundred fold
VIII be like this the pnrest gold,
L pray your majesty to try
II this be true before die"
With this the King and courtIers went
Into the garden with intent
To plant the curious coin of gold,
But now when all was ready, "HoId,'
Exclaimed the thief, s'this hand of mine
Would surely spoil our whole design;
The hand that plants the gold must be
Elise all is naughty entirely free
From stain of fraud. and so I pray
Your gracious majesty Will lay
The seed in earth" aYes-no-In sooth.' -
The King replied, "for in my youth
pllfered from my sire; some stain,
For all my sorrow, may remain,
Ny good prime minister is here;
HIS hand, no doubt, is wholly clear
OF any taint." "Nay, ;" he replied.
That's more than can well decide.
AS
Have kept trifle. So pray
To be excused for prudence sake,
And let our commissary take
The coin in hand. Sure that were bes:,
For he no doubt, can stand the test"
'Faith," said the commissary, "I
Would rather not. can't deny
Ny good intent; but since pay
Large sums Of money every day
For soldiers, sailors, and q herd
Of spies-I wouldn't give my word
have not kept a small amount
Not entered in my book account.
Since an error--e'en the least
Would spoil the charm, pray let the priest
Proceed to plant the coin of gcld,''
Nay, that fear would be DER bold;
Despite my prayers and pious zsal.'
Replied his reverence, al deal
N tithes and sacriicial dues:
And so beg you will excuse
Ny sharing In q work like this,
Where nothing must be done amiss.s
Then" said the thief, t'since noman here
As we have learned) is wholly clear
f knavish tricks, 1 ask you whether
We should not all be hung together?"
'he monarch Iau0hfnsr made rap1,
Why, yes if every rogue must die;
Well, since we are five knaves confessed,
pardon you, and spare the rest 20
