EDITOR STAR:-Pcrhaps it would
be interesting to good many to
know in what way people make
houses and barns, to shelter them
selves and stock, in Southern Ne
braska and Northern Kansas. Some
people, for houses, have what is
called dugouts; they select a place
in the head generally of a ravine
(called draws); they dig a hole in
the ground, as large and deep as
they wish to occupy, laying poles
across the top; they cover the poles
with willow brush or hay, and then
with the use of their spade they
single their dugout with sod and
dirt. After the roofs finished, they
cut II hole through the bank for
doorway, and call the house ready
to move into. They make warm
place in the Winter, also, an un-
healthy place, l believe. Other
people live upon the top Of the
ground. They break the prairie
with II pillow, cut the sod into such
lengths as to make it easy to handle,
then lay those sod into wall (thc
same being three feet in thickness,
and make the wall generally about
nine feet high, leaving as many
window holes us they have windows
to fill them with, cover the roof with
sod and dirt; and where pains is
taken, the roof will turn water like
unto a single roof. There being
plenty of magncsia in this country,
it is not much trouble to plaster the
walls of the houses; and when that
is done to II sod house, it ma es a
warm and cozy looking fort, to say
the least Of it; especially if the &C.
cupant has placed board floor in
it, instead of using the earth for a
floor, as majority of the settlers
do. QUIZ.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. p, 1875.
Brazil is conspicuously promi-
nent, so to speak, among the foreign
countries represented at the Expo
sition. The late visit Of the Empc-
ror Dom Pedro has caused much to
be written concerning that country
which has tended to familiarize our
people with their southern kinsiolk,
as we have suddenly come to rccog-
nizc them a learned member of
their Commission put the case
strongly the other day: eve are
Americans, as you; we claim to be
as free people as you; the only
difference is that, with our Empe-
ror, We are not vexcd with the tur-
moil of choosing ruler once in
four years" The truth is that royal
visitors heretofore have done little
to scduce us from our allegiance to
Democracy; but II king like Dom
Pedro, who comes to this country
to talk with its statesmen, savants
and poets, who looks into the work
ings of schools, ncwsboys' homes,
manufactures and asylums, that he
may the better uplift and cnnoblc
his own people, is dangerous man
in republic. What the central and
provincial governments of Brazil
under this sagacious head are doing
to elevate the people is shown in
the Brazilian school exhibits. No
educational department in the En-
hibition surpasses this in breadth of
scope and accuracy of detail. The
books, maps, pictures and cases OF
brilliant insects are all arranged,
too, with an artistic sense of color
and effect which hints that their
director belongs to the trophies.
The exhibits made by Brazil in
its picturesque court in the main
building attract universal attention.
Visitors linger in admiration over
the beautiful flowers made from the
feathers of birds wh,sc plumage
shadows in brilliancy the tints of the
rainbow. The colors arc like rays
uf prismatic light, and the textures
arc as soft as the mist itself, Here
is a spray nearly two yards long.
The stem and the branches, the
leaves and the flowers, are all formed
of the natural feathers untouched
by dye or artificial process of any
kind, and the buds that seem ready
to break into blossoms with the next
noon sunshine are miraculous bugs
ola silvcry and golden sheen. Even
more wonderful than the flowers arc
the brooches, earrings and pins,
which arc set with insects cqualpg
in variety and lustrc of color the
most precious stones. Unseen THEY

WAsnINGToN, ID. c., Aug. IL, '7G.

The adjournment of Congress
last night, although very abrupt and
unexpected, is gratifying to both
parties, except very few who had
pet schemes which they had hoped
to put through in the last hours of
the session.
The Executive Appropriation
Bill having finally passed, it is now
reduced to a certainty that, on Oc-
tober 10th, 765 clerks in the De-
partmcnts will be removed. This,
of course, will be an unpleasant task
for the Cabinet Ministers, but it is
Democratic cXaction, and, al
though much embarrassment in the
workings Of the several Bureaus
will follow, it must be obeycd.
1t is patent that a considerable
percentage of clerical force is and
has been hostile to Republican
Administration of the Government.
The consideration that "sclf pres
crvation is the first law of nature
would Indicate that, in discriminate
ing as to removals, preference
should be given to those who have
been in full sympathy with the Re-
publican party. No one could find
fault with the adoption of this pol
icy. 1t is certainly expected by
the friends of the Administration,
the country, and is even looked for
by the clerks whose political ante
ccdcnts have been in the line of the
Democratic organization.
On last Friday evening Senator
Morton opened the campaign at In
dianapolis in stirring speech, in
which he arraigncd the Democratic
party for its many acts hostile to
the best interests of the country.
1t was bcftting that the canvass in
Indiana should be inauguratcd by
one in whom the sturdy ycomanry
of that State have such abiding con-
fidcncc as they have in their eminent
Senator and former War Governor.
This able speech of Senator Nor
ton will bc'a very valuable campaign
document. 1t should be read by
every voter in the land, for it en-
bodies that which all should know
who would vote understandingly at
the coming election. Hendricks
was nominated for the Vice-Presi-
dency with the expectation that he
would carry Indiana for the Democ-
racy both in October and November.
1t is now very possible that were
the work to be done over again he
would not be thought of as candi-
date. The investigation of his rec
ord has damaged him beyond all
recovery. a few such rough hand
lngs as Senator Morton gave him at
Indianapolis will "fnish him" in the
view of his most sanguinc friends.
The character of men is measured
by their individual financial credit
among their fellows. So it is with
nations. That government whose
credit stands high, whose financial
reputation is unsullied, whose faith
in its dealings has been kept unfair
nishcd, can go into the market and
command such financial aid, at fair
interest, which present emergency
may demand.
In view of the large national debt,
to which this nation has been sub
.jectcd by war inauguratcd and
prolonged by Democratic policy in
the ono case andDcmocratic intrigue
in the other, it would not be a mat
ter of surprise if our national bonds
were Mt discount in the money
markets Of the world. The fact that;
after the control of national affairs
has been in the hands Of that party
