Prof. Aughey, of the Nebraska
State University, says of this same
soil in Nebraska: at can never be
exhausted until every hill aud valley
which compose it is entirely worn
away. Owing TO its remarkably
fine comminu.ed silica, of which the
bulk of the deposit consists, it pos
sesses natural drainage in the high
est degree, absorbing water like a
huge sponge, and, in time of drought
sending up moisture from its great
est depths, by capillary attraction,
for the needs of vegetation. This is
the reason why, over all the region
where the deposits prevail, the nat
ural vegetation and cultivated crops
are rarely dried or drowned out.

IN CAMP, 3 MILES WEST or KEARNLY,ll
May 18th, 1873.
EDITOR JOURNAL: The first par
of the journey from Columbus Il
Grand Island is all dotted on eaci
side of the L L. with farm house:
aud oat buildings, the majority oi
the dwellings being large and com.
Portable and many Of them very
costly. The crops look well.
The towns are all growing. Silver
Greek has several new buildings in
course OF erection.
Central City is quite a business
town. Wenoticed teams OH the street
loaded with merchandise for ST.
Paul, on the ioup. Here we saw
teams on the way TO Lcadville from
Iowa, and AN outfit for DeadWood,
Black Hills, with over fifty cows TO
start u dairy.
Grand Island is larger than CO.
lumbus, and has some finer build
ings. The public school ia the south
part of town is splendid brick
; building, and bears date 1878.
Aida, Wood River, Shelton and
GibbOn are stations along the val
ley OF Wood river, the rail road
running parallel with the stream.
This is one of the most fertile val
leys of Nebraska, aud is all settled
up. Here we saw the best crops
up 10 that time. The towns are all
growing and appear TO be doing a
good business.
Kearney is only a small place, but
Kearney Junction, miles farther
west and l96 miles west Of Omaha,
is the boss town. Ii has more bust
ness houses than either Columbus
or Grand Island, with a population
between 1900 and 20OO.
The best looking crops Oh the
route are west of Kearney,-fields
of wheat over 100 acres as fine as
could be found anywhere, and |
believe all other crops grow rs well
as in any other part of the State.
There are in this camp now eleven
wagons bound for Washington Ty.,
and seven for Montana.

CHINESE ON PUBLIC WORKS.

1t seems that the constitutionality of the
law passed by our last Legislature prohibiting
the employment of Cinnamon on public works
will be tested for us without any trouble to
ourselves. The Legislature of Oregon passed
a law prohibiting the employment of Chinese
npon any public works in the State. Some
time since the City Council of Portland let
contract to certain parties for street improve
ments. In order to make a big thing out of
it, the contractors employed Chiuamen to do
the work The Council protested that this
was unlawful, but they we're treated with con
tempt When the work was done the Council
refused to pay the contractors. A suit was
brought, and the Council have determined to
carry it to the Supreme Court of the United
States, if necessary

THE STATE UNIVERSITY.

The Reno Gasette, plaintiff, and the Elko
heads about this institution. The Reno
paper; has been saying every thing mean and
spiteful that can be thought of on the sub
ject, while the Elko paper comes back after
him regularly with tremendous sentences and
words as long as your arm. The Independent
of last Friday clinches the whole subject mat
ter of the wranging with the following elo-
quent peroration to a long, crashing leader:
Whether Reno is pleased or displeased with
the arrangement, the citizens of Elko don't
care continental dam, and the journals of
that locality may as well possess their souls
in peace and do u little. prospecting for the
beam III their own eye.
The case of the University, as can; be read
lily perceived by any thoughtful, right minded
person, is simply this: Its continuance is a
matter of economy. Its discontinuance would
involve the forfeiture of large grants of land
made to the State 10y the General Govern
ment, or, rather, forfeiture to this extent,
the State would be obliged to pay to the Gen
eral Government 81 % per acre for all the
land taken up and settled by stock raisers in
Nevada. The University grant proper is
4O,0S0 acres The Mining College grant is
10000 acres. The time, twice extended, for
the establishment of Mining College, has
twice expired, and the grant has, strictly
speaking, been forfeited, but it will, no doubt,
be extended again, according to the petition
of the Legislature lately by concurrent reso-
luton. Technically, the continuance of. the
institution at EIko, with some latitude al
lowed to its scope and its name, will enable
us to hold both grants, and in due time to
secure titles to settlers without any outlay on
the part of the State.

NOTICE OF BIRTHS. There are various ways
of letting the people know that another baby
has been born, and yet there seems to be still
some scope for originality left to the "l6csl'
man in dealing with such matter. Our brother
of the Elko Independent thus handles the sub
ject of the last birth IN that classic town on
the Humboldt: "The lively entertainment
at the residence of J. P. Edof last evening,
was in honor of the distinguished arrival of a
young but consequential member of the fam
lily, whose presence was made known in tones

gan his career by Justify footing his horn, and

seems His name is Norris, and he is gar
rulous old fellow who made money by trap
ping and trading furs, and finally built
suburb of Detroit, which he named after him
self As soon as the National Park was ere
ated, he was on hand to become its superin
tendent for 81, 500 year. But his chief du-
ties seem to be making a trip there once a
year aud roaming the mountains all Summer
in bnckskin uniform and with big black
feather in his hat. Last year he got $40 900
appropriated to build roads through the park
and the like, and now he wants S25, 600 more.
They say that if he keeps on with his i'm
provements as he has begun he will fix it in
time so that one can get through the Park,
and none will care to see it. "

it is only just springing up Ladies and gen.

the providences of God are bringing to you.
You may smile as you see the hoodlums of
San Francisco chasing pigtailed Monaghan
and say it is but Chinalnan but do you

there are 400, 900, 900 of people there2 Talk
about its being barbarOus empire. Do you

This is part of the sophistry in which Mr.
Bsecher INDUCES himself, and with which
he beguiles large audiences. He tells good
many good things, and makes many spicy re-
marks on this subject, to which he is now de-
voting himself solely for the sake of sensa-
sion. Henry Ward is altogether sensational.
He is either that or nothing. In this case he
lies deliberately by suppressing the truth, or
else he does not know what he is talking
about. In the main there can not be much
objection to what the rooster says, but it is
his neglect to show up both sides of the &C.
Iestial picture that proves him to be time
server and panderer to the prejudiced opin-
ions of his auditors But for an enormity of
cheek he would have learned ere this to pull
down his vest. He was very, very good be-
fore he played with Elizabeth, but now he is
horrid.
