Good for Platte

The people of Platte county have had
enough to discourage them somewhat but
We are glad that we can truthfully say
thew have borne their trials manfully.
There is no use trying 10 disguise the fact
that the grasshepper plague has caused
some suffering but We are gratited TO know
that we have mol been forced to ask assist
past and since the hoppers have thinned
out sufficiently 10 permit the resumption OF
operations on the farms the poorer classes
can obtain labor and earn livelihood
There may be some renters in the county who
have been unable to procure Necessary seed
for re-planting but We are of the opinion
that all or very nearly all have been sup.
piled in some way. Should there be any
50 unfortunate we hope the neighbors will
relieve their wants. We do not want Platte
county TO 90 out Of her limits for aid a:
such a course would have a blighting eli
feet upon us. II would depreciate the val

our citizens-results that should he avoided

circumstances and we desire TO See her pull

Picture of Daniel Drew.

Uncle" Daniel Drew is served up in a
letter thus: Having began his business ca
reer as Snowman with menagerie, and
then advanced 10 the station oil tavern
keeper, he came into Wall street in full
manhood as member Of the firm of Drew,
Robinson d Co. Robinson was the pillar
of the concern, and was Drew's instructor
in the mysteries of the street. He died
eighteen years ago, leaving nearly a mill
ron, and his son is now one OF the banking
firm of Robinson, Chase X Co., who act as
Drew's agent Drew has had varied ex-
perience since Robinson's death. He has
been at one time rich enough to give $780,
600 to found a seminary, and then he has
been on the verge of bankruptcy. At pres
ent, reports of his failure are rife, and
should not be surprised to hear at any
time their confirmation. 1t looks badly to
see this old man ciinging to stock gaming
in his last days. He cannot give up his
interest in Toledo and Wabash which he
had purchased when it WAS IS, on specnla-
ton. Its heavy decline being now l5) has
no doubt had the effect 10 impair his
health as well as his purse. .

More About Bar bars Erietchie.

Barbara Frietchie is not TO be a myth
withor' a struggle. A gentleman writes to
the Boston AdrertiSeT, at the request of Mr..
Whittier, that a clergyman of Fredericks-
town, with whom he conversed in the cars
in 1865, told him that the story as given in
the poem was substantially true, and that
he made only two criticisms on the poem.
One was that the expression "Dame Bar
bara' seemed to give the impression that
Mrs. Frietchie was in the humber walks Of
life, whereas she was lady and well con-
nected. The other was that the poem re-
presented that when the flag had been shot
down the heroine snatched it up, and lean
ing out of the window waived it from there
as the troops passed on, whereas the flag fell
to the ground, and Mrs. Frietchie, hasten
ing to pick it up in the midst of crowd of
hostile and insulting soldiery, went with it
to the edge of the sidewalk, and, stepping
on the mounting block that stood there,
waived it i'm close proximity to the passing
troops Some months after this gentleman,
on visiting Washington, was assured that
his informant could have been none other
than the father-in-law of Stonewall Jack
son, whose name was the Rev. Mr.. Junkin.

Hotel Life in the City Of Mexico

Everything in the way of living is cheap
| in Mexico. OF course, prices range highe,
in the capital than elsewhere, but even
there the prices are much lower than with
us. The hotels, for instance, furnish ex-
cellent rooms at from $50 to $50 month.
At The Hotel lturbide the rooms are very
large, and usually divided BY curtains 40
as to make a parlot and bedroom. The
arrangement is pleasant one, and prefer
able to having two rooms. For thirty dol.
lars month you can procure one of these
apartments; handsomely furnished and eff
GENTLY attended. The scheme of the hotel
extends no further. Your bath and your
meals are outside affairs On the ground
floor OF the Hotel Iturbide is an excellent
French restaurant and a very good bath
house. These are separate establishments.
The price OF the bath is two reals-25 cent
and al the restaurant two personScan con-
tract for meals at $50 each per week.
o. course there are other restaurants, and OF
one-the Gran Tivoli-I can safely speak
IN terms OF unbounded praise. 1t is arrang-
ed as a park, with lovely grounds, fountains,
streams and flowers in profusion. The din
ing places are scattered about here aud
there; Chinese pagodas, Swiss chalets
French cottages in miniature-you choose
the retreat which please. you most. II is
here that you find the great tree. on one
of whose branches is pretty little cabin.

Dreaming.

What wondros consolation comes to us
in those blessed hours when the body lies
resting. The spirit roams at will, nor
distance, space, or time can separate us from
our loved. The treasures snatched away
by death are ours again. Forms only dust
to-day, are with us as bygone years. The
same tint of hair, the same shade OF eyes
the same rica coloring of lip, and expanse
of brow the same expression. The little
peculiarities which endeared them TO our
hearts, make dreaming blessed reality.
How apt We are to e1claim, when wax
ing, 'Oh, could dream the same again "
Bereaved mother, you are conforted when
your baby nestles in your arms again the
little fingers thrill you when wandering as
of old. The wee face breaks into smiles al
your cares, You would hold baby thus
forever. Alas. you must awake-awake
to find an empty cradle, empty arms and
longing heart.
There is more pleasure in dreams thar
in realities. The awakening embitter'
both. My sister, my brother, have you
awakened from the sunny dreams Of youth
Are the hopes you cherished dead Have
friends forsaken you? Because that wa.
so bright, and this so dark, will you allow
your life to lie failure? Ii You canno
he what you would, will YOU rot he wha
YOU can? Can YOU kindle ashes? vii
YOU live alright

The Grapo-Cure,

The grape treatment has been employed
with favorable results by patients suffering
from bronchitis and consumption in its pre-.
tubercular stages. 1t is especially practiced
at Meran, in the Tyrol, whittier large num-
bers Of German, Russian and Italian in.
valids resort to experience its benefits. The
patient begins BY eating or pounds Of
grapes each day, dividing the quantity
into three portions, one of which is taken
an hour before breakfast, and another be-
fore dinner-which occurs between II and
l o'clock-and the third in the afternoon or
evening. After two or three DAYS, the guam.
tity is increased by half pound daily. un-
I'll it reaches or pounds. This amount
often proves sufhcient-the patient finding,
as rule, that he gains in weight and
strength upon it. Chronic liver complaints,
especially when due to excess in wine
drinking, are, it is said, notably relieved by
this treatment, the potash-salts in the fruit
supplying the element which the wine loses
in the process of manufacture. Hepatic
dropsy has also been mitigated in this way.
One feature in favor Of the "cure" is, that
no exclusive diet is described. In fact. the
grapes themselves are SO nourishing that
other food is scarcely needed
