NEVADA COUNTY was crcatrs

 NJ ENADA COUNTY was creatra by 1N anact of the General assembly, March 20, 1871. and is situated in the southwestern part of the state, being bounded on the cast by Ouachita county, on the northeast and north by Clark, from which it is separated by Little Missouri river, on the west by Ifempstead, and on the south by Columbia. It has an area of about G70 square miles. and in 1880 had a population of l3,00O inhabi- tants.
 Topography.
 Tho surface of the country is generally un- dulatug; few places being too broken for cultivation. or too level for drainage. The southern half of the county covers the apex of the watershed between the Ouachita and Red rivers the small streams on the east side flowing to the tributaries of the Ouachi- ta, and those on the west to the ibutaries of the Red. All the branches and ri vulets of the northern part flow to the Little Missouri. Prairi De Anne, q beautiful little inland prairie. seven miles long from east to West, is situated in the northern part of the county, closely surrounding tue town of Prescott on the east, north and west.
 Water-Courses.
 The principal water-coGrse is Little Mis- .ouri river. beautiful stream which has its source in the Caddo mountains. It flows in southeastery dircction forming the boundary line between Nevada and Clarl, counties for d long distance. Before the raii- roads penetrated tHs section, small steamers navigstcd the river during the winter and spring seasons The hand along the margin of the river ts fertile and exceedingly well timbercd The bottom is a valuable stock range. 1t has tew laeoons and bayous, and is not considered siclly stream. Thc Ierre Rouge creek is the next lHrgest stream. It crosses the northern part Gt the & eo4RtF mt lt@m n Missouri river. The Caney crce!, drains the central portion of the county flowing nto the Little Missouri river from the wed, south of the Terre Rouge. The Bodeaw is a small creek in the southwestern portion of county. The land bordering on it is very fertile l. flows south into the Doreheat, Il tributary of Red river

GEN. GRANTS CONDITION.

Notwithstanding the encouraging tone
Of the dispatches concerning Gen. Grants
condition last week, there seems to be no
ground for changing the verdict arrived
at over a month ago by the analysis IN
these columns of the various statements
made by the attending physicians. Drs.
Shrady. Barker and Sands are undoubted-
ly competent to pronounce upon such a
disease as cancer, and with the oppor-
tunity for study which they have had IN
the present case it is simply incredible
that they would, without the clearest
proofs to sustain them, leopard their pro-
fessional regulations by reafirming their
diagnosis so uncompromisingly as they
do. 1t is now stated that the distinguish
ed patient first showed indications of the
disease over two years ago, and that there
have been periods of aggravation and re-
mission of the symptoms during all the
intervening period. Not until last fall,
however, were these symptoms character.
istic enough to warrant serious apprehen-
sion. The average duration of cases of
eplthelioma of the tongue is about two
and half years; so that, if this statement
as to the time when the disease was first
noticed in Gen. Grants case be correct,
the end cannot be far distant. This con-
sideration lends additional pathos to the
stories of the generals plans for the sum
mer NOTWITHSTANDING Neaos.

1r is a very general comment among
the members Of the bar that Judge
MITCHELL when he first went on the bench
woke up the lawyers in the Third district,
who.had grown sleepy and careless under
Il succession Of old school judges. All
sorts of petty cases were brought in court,
much to the disgust of Judge Mitchell,
who, with all his qualifications as law
yer. is Il man Of Il very practical turn of
mind. One of these petty cases was be
fore him in Wabasha county. How
much is involved in this case?" asked the
judge. Fifteen dollars, your honor,
was the reply made by the ambitious
young lawyer. "Well, this court will ad.
journ the case for the present" continued
Judge MITCHELL 'ln the meantime the
counsel will cndcavor to agree upon a
settlement The time of this court and
the jury can better be employed than in
hearing cases Of that class. If you are
unable to agree, the court will draw his
check for the amount involved" The
case never came back into court again
and two or three similar rebukes to the
lawyers who sho Ned more disposition tc
make business for the court than to pre-
vent it soon put an end to cases of tina
cluss.-Y1Oneer Press.

A GOOD word for the Granger boys,

A GOOD word for the Granger boys,
from the Chicago Herald: "The local
editors in the cities have poor conceptions
of the farmers boy who in this age is
willing to remain quiet under his parents
root They may look PLAIN and stupid
to the city dandy. But while the true
boy, the promise Of the future man, and
probably the dictator of his countrys des-
TIMES, is quietly pursuing the work of the
farm, and attending school in winter, he
is WORKING out in his strong and clear
brain the great problems of life. Nor IS
he wanting in the necessary amusemcnts
aud rational cnjoyments under his fathers
roof. 1t is true he may not spend one
long evening each week in the degrading
and preparatory school Of gambliny-thc
whist party. liz may not have the SEN
sual pleasure each evening of the saloon
and billiard tnblc. Nor has he any access
to the thcutcr. where bare legs and
arms are the largest commodity IN the
evenings bill of fare. But nearly all of
the best men of this or any other nation
i'll early youth were deprived of these
fashionable tollics and debasiny vices
which are we'll calculated to wcan n bows
affection from the solid virtues of TIE
home circle. Auy editor who UNDERTAKES
the opportunities for solid virtues and
for acquiring true and useful knowledge
at the farm houses III the rural districts,
has evidently himself been educated to y
looscr standard of morals, and cultivated
pleasures not to be classcd among moral
or rational enjoyments'
