News from Nebraska.

SEWARD, NEB, Oct /, 1882. Grant
CO., HERALD Having seen but little in
your paper concerning the prosperity of
our Young and thriving state. | send
you a few items We have an abundant
crop of almost all kinds of fam pro-
duets, and everything indicates prosper
ity. The corn, in particular, is an ex-
cellent crop, and will be of superior
quality. Oats were very heavy and
wheat was fair crop.
The cool weather, during the early
part of the season. made the corn so late
that many feared it would not ripen be-
fore the autumn frosts would bite it,
but it is now matured and we have
had but two slight frosts yet. Our coun-
" is greatly in need of more teachers
and the Surplus in your vicinity would
find this an excellent place should they
desire to '-go west and grow up with
the country Land is advancing in
price very fast and land buyers seem to
be very plentiful at this particular period.
Good improved land is worth from SIS
to S25 per acre and where it is situated
near market with good buildings erect
ed on it, it Is worth much more. Upon
the whole our Divine Master has blessed
US with bountiful supply for our physi-
cal needs, and hence, having food and
raiment let us be content.
Very Truly yours,
JAMES DARSALL.

Costly Commissioners.

Washington dispatch to Chicago
Herald: There are some things about
the costly and luxurious Tariff Com
mission which have never yet been told,
but which richly deserve the telling. A
gentleman from New York tells the
Herald correspondent that The idiosyn-
crasies of the members as exhibited at
the Windsor Hotel, were not only sur
prising, but ridiculous. Some idiosyn-
crasies were displayed in this city be-
fore the commission started on its ella
borate career. One commissioner stay
ed at hotel here for four days. His
bin amounted TO S144. 1t was paid
with cheerful promptitude. He has al
why's lived like gentleman, and in
tends to continue doing so while he is
with the commission, even if the gov
eminent has to foot the bills. Accounts
and demands Of members for checks ac-
cumulated to such an extent that the
chief clerk was compelled to stay over
at Cleveland for two days SO as to square
up his books. In the meantime the
special cars We're in motion, and his
ticket, according to agreement, notwith-
standing his absence, mad. to be brought
at full rates. At Long Branch one
prominent member unhesitatingly de-
clared that the evidence would not affect
his judgment whit. There was press
agent with the commission, paid by the
government, whose special instructions
were 20 ''see'' the boys on the route of
travel and disburse the hospitality of
the cars. Another clerk sole duty was
to settle advertising bills. Everything
continues to go on in lovely fashion
without regard to expense.

CockerelI's Case.

ST LOUIS, Mo-, Octoqer To- 1t was
expected that counsel for Col: Cocker
ell would apply for his release on bail.
this morning, but the evidence taken
before the coronel's jury not being yet
written out, and, therefore, not in prop
er shape To submit to the court, and
also owing to the fact that Judge
Laughlin, of the criminal court, is sick,
action in the matter was deferred till
Wednesday No charge has vet been
made against Col. Cockerell, but it is
understood the coroner will swear out a
warrant very soon. Frank X. Hurd,
Democrat congressman from the Toll
edo, o.. ulsJrict, is here, and will act
as advisory counsel for Col. Cockerell.
They are old and warm personal friends
it is stated this afternoon that Emery A.
Storrs the distinguished lawyer of
Chicago, will come here and assist in,
if not take charge OF, the prosecution.

Married mt the Open Grave.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Lieutenant
George l.. Converse, Jr., was married
this evening to the daughter of Admiral
jenkins of the navy. 1t will be remem-
bered that about five months since, in
a brush with the Apachcs, Lieutenant
Converse, who is son of Congressman
George J.. Converse, of Ohio, was shot
in the head and dangerously wounded.
The ball lodged upon the surface of the
brain destroying one eye. An opera
ton was performed removing the eye,
but it WAS demonstrated that an attempt
to reno g the ball might result fatally.
Lieutenant Converse then determined
that his marriage should take place be-
fore the operation was performed and it
was sol mnized tonight, The wedding
was qa.et, only the immediate friends
of the contracting parties being present.

STAR ROUTE SWINDLE.
The Defendants Steal the Thunder OF the Govern
ment officials.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE Attor.
ney General was asked to-day what had
been done in the star-route bribery cases,
and what was being done, and answered
promptly that much had been done in
probing the matter to the bottom. A
great deal of testimony had been taken,
and much more is yet to be taken; that
it would be impolitic now and irregular
to disclose any of this evidence, as il
would put some of those accused and
guilty men on their guard But this
much he would say, that within few
days one or more of those persons in the
Department of Justice who had been
used as spies by the defendants, and
who appear to be deeply complicated in
the attempt to corrupt the jurors on be-
half of the defendants, would be arrested;
that he had ordered this on evidence now
before him. The defendants somehow
or other having obtained knowledge OF
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT intention, and
knowing also that he had possession OF
indisputable proof of the guilt of these
instruments of theirs, would within a
day or so abandon those men aud fur
nish sensational article disclosing the
facts that alone were within their knowl-
edge, taking credit as public informers,
because they fear that ii the story is not
told by them the sudden arrest of their
instruments would be fatal blow. To
avoid this effect it is believed the publ
cation is to be made.

now just let me fnish-I say apprc-
ciate it, and have tried to do my duty by
you in return, as l hope should be al
ways ready to do. wish all good to
you and your wife, and shall be glad to
help her if / can, but to live in the same
house with her is what would turn out
pleasant for neither one of us, and, once
for all ! can't do it."
"A,,nt Anne" said Tom, pushing
back his chair and staring in mothers
excited face, "either you or l must be
out of our wits
It's not me, then, at any rate, re-
torted mother, getting nettled.
Amusement and certain embarrass-
ment had kept me silent listener SO
far, but there was no standing this /
tried to speak, but could not, for laugh
ing.
II think you are all ont Of your wits
together" said mother, turning sharply.
"What ails the child2 It's no laughing
matter"
"You don't understand each other"
/ gasped; ooh, dearl it's not Letty-oh
oh, dearl" and relapsed again.
"Not Lettyf" repeated mother, turn
ing to Tom. "Then why did you tell
me SOP"
81 never told you so, said Tom.
"Why, yes, you did," persisted
mother.
"You came in and told mo You were
going to be married"
"Yes, so l am" said Tom, still of
cross purposes. 4
"Now, Tom Dean" said mother ris-
ing and confronting him, "what do you
mean? Who is going to be your wife ?"
"Why, May, OF course" answered
MAY r. and then, after a pause OF
inexpressible astonishment, il was moth
er's turn 10 laugh. do you mean to
say, Tom, it was that child you were
thinking of all the while ?"
"Why, who else could it be ." said
Tom, sharply.
"Well," said mother, ST ought TO
have remembered you never did do any
thing like anybody else. But, still, why
in the word do you go to work in such a
roundabout way 2"
:" / wanted to see how you took to my
idea," said Tom.
"And now do You suppose we were to
guess your idea meant May ?" mother
asked.
"Who else could it be?" repeated
Tom, falling back ON what he evidently
found unanswerable argument. 1t was
no use talking to him. Mother gave il
up with shake of the head.
:" And you won't want another house
then, Aunt Anne?" said Tom, suddenly.
That set mother off again Tom joined
with her, aud altogether j don't think
we ever passed Rerrier evening than
the one that made us acquainted with
Toms wife.

An Unexpected Excursion.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, October 16.-An
exciting balloon ascension occurred,
yesterday, at Schlitz PARK. The bal
loon, holding $1,000 feet of heated air,
with the female aeronaut, Julia LIE
Comte, in the basket was all ready.
But an unexpected sensation occurred.
When the monster air-ship shot up
ward, a sailor, name unknown, who was
aiding with the ropes, was carried up
also, clinging to one of the stay ropes,
and dangling in the air. The Mortified
spectators were expecting to see the I'M
fortunate man dashed TO death on the
streets below, but, in a few moments a
rent was made in the silk covering, the
air escaped and the balloon, over a
thousand feet in the air, slowly settled
down, until it landed in field, a mile
from the place of starting, where both
escaped uniniured.

A Snug Snrnlns.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Oct. 13.-Tt was
announced some time ago in the Times
that the books Of the Post-Office Depart
ment would show, for the fiscal year
which ended on June so, 1882, sur-
plus Of receipts over expenditures
amounting to Sl.500.00o The official
figures were given to the public to-day
aud they show surplus which slightly
exceeds that sum. The total receipts
were 81, SO, 410,15. and the total ex-
penditures $40, $50. 934,75. 50 that the
apparent surplus was Sl.sS6. T75, 10.
From his sum. however, must he sub
