Nebraska as It Is.
From the Prairie Farner.l

| tTIoHu tnS TT6.Ttc TdTneT.I
During the last two years my travels
and examinations Of farming lands
have extended from the Mississippi
river to the Rocky Mountains, and
from Texas to Nebraska, and my im
preston is that southern Nebraska is
the best agricultural country in the
region mentioned, because it has not
only tie three i~ndi-pen>ibles to the
luxu,iant growth Of vegetation, viz {:
good soil. sufficient moisture and plen-
ty Of sunshine but the surface is
comparatively level, and like all the
best farming countries. It slopes south
and east. FROM a few miles south of
the Platte river there is a perfect net
work OF almost innumerable small
streams Of pure, clear water which
flow south aud east. forming the
Weeping Water. Nebraska, Big Blue
and the Republican rivers, altogether
atfording more rich valley land than
can be found in any country Of the
same area.
These rapid sire m fu-n sh excel
lent water powers for mills AMI fac:o
ries. While many portion. of the
Great West are dead, southern Ne
braska is al lie ani activity in 81. De
partments. Hundreds of new dwell
Jugs, school houses and churches are
being built both in the towns and
country, and the builders Ratchet and
the blacksmith's hammer are heard on
all sides, and while travelling husdreds
of miles on the Burlington l. Missouri
River railroad during the last few days
farmers blowing a d drilling. from
early morn till Jnsky eve, were seen
in every direction.
All kinds Of grasses, grains, vegeta
bles and fruits do well here, ard the
soil and climate are espe tally adapted
to the great staples, wheat aud corn,
which are produced in large quantities 5.

CHARLEY ROSS.

II will pay $1,000 in cash for the
delivery to me of the kidnapped child,
Charley Ross, or for information that
will lead TO his recovery. l most SOL
EMMY and sacredly pledge my word of
honor and my reputation as an upright
business man not to attempt for myself
to discover the identity of the persons
negotiating with me in this matter, nor
to convey to any other person any hints
or clews by which any accusation. or
even suspicion, shall be directed against
them. The parents of the child unite
with me in this pledge, and agree, if
their darling child is by this means re-
stored to them, to abandon all attempts
to punish any person connected with his
abduction or concealment; they agree
never to appear against such parties, and
with myself will use every endeavor to
shield them from exposure" In this
way P. 7. Barnum sets out to find the
lost child. The Springfield Republican
states that the idea first occurred to Mr..
Barnum when he was in Philadelphia
two years ago, but he decided not to
countenance any condoning of the ofense.
The idea returned to him recently, and
he opened negotiations with Mr.. Ross.
He promised to offer the reward on the
condition that if the boy was recovered
some arrangement should be made fol-
exhibiting him. The offer was accepted,
the family retaining the privilege of re.
imbursing Mr.. Barnum; but in no case
is any other Snowman to be allowed tt
exhibit the boy. Mr.. Ross has ascer
tanned that Mosher wrote novel sixteer
years ago, in which the plot turned upo1
