OMAHA (Neb.), April From all parts
of the State messages have been received
telling of the heavy rains and snow, and
the consequent happiness of the farmers
and business men. Songs OF praise are
especially going up from the heart of the
drought-stricken region of last year.
There the rain has been the most abund-
ant. From Nuckols County west, taking

State to the northern boundary, the pre-
cipitation has been sufficient to satisfy
the most carping critic. Where discour-
agement abounded a week ago hope has
resumed her sway and driven out evil
torebodings, replacing them with conf
dence and trust.
Not only has Nebraska been blessed by
the copious showers, but the driedup
counties along the Kansas, Colorado aud
South Dakota borders have been wetted
to an extent in excess Of any experienced

ties ten inches of snow have fallen,

the latter part Of the SOS. He had re-
signed from the army and, having very
little business talent, made but little
Roadway in life. His warmest friend
was Judge Tippett, father of Philip Lee
Tippett.
They were great cronies and often
met at public house on the Gravois
road, still owned by the same old Ger
man who, then as young man, fur
nished entertainment for man and
beast. Young Tippett was then strip
ling and he acquired a great admiration
for the ex-army officer who was some
what down on his luck.
About 1858 the county court was call
ed on to appoint county engineer. The
salary was $50 month. The judge
made the announcement at the dinner
table one day and said he supposed
there would be good many applicants,
but that man ought to be really an
engineer to properly oversee the con-
struction of roads.
"WhY don't you appoint Captain
Grant, fatherY' inquired young Lee.
"He's an engineer and he needs the
money"

"I'm blessed if I know"
''No more do I, but / think he is a

Democratic court and was not so many
years removed from the Jacksonian
motto that to the victor belongs the
spoils as courts are to-day. Judge Tip

Gen. Grants ante-bellum politics has
long been a mooted question, but from
the fact that ne made application for

When it came to a vote he got one-his
friend, Judge Tippett's.
One member of the court is still alive,
Judge Alt, who has been continuously
in office from that day to this. He was
asked recently why Gen. Grant was not
appointed. The old man, who is now a
Republican, smiled and said: SIN not

SYNOPSIS OF PREVIOUS CHAPTERS.

CHAPTER Preparations are made for
the marriage of Nelly Hartsom and Aaron.
Nelly is kind-hearted and gentle, but she
had thoughtlessly inspired the love of Saul
Meghorn.
CHAPTER Saul Meghorn with feelings
of disappointment and revenge retires up
the sides Of cliff where in his agony he
witnessed the bridal procession to the church
IN hot anger regretting that he did not kid
nap Nelly, when he had chance, and force
her to marry him.
CHAPTER III.-Nelly and Aaron are in
their cottage home, happy in their honey
moon, but a cloud has arisen upon the
horizon Saul Meghorn had taken up his
abode near by. Nelly had met Saul sever
al times, as he prowled around the neigh
borhood, which made her very unhappy,
and Aaron was also miserable having
learned from the landlord of the inn, that
Saul and Nelly had previously been in
love with each other But, sadly enough,
neither Nelly nor Aaron confided their
stories to each other, and hence the cloud
darkened.
CHAPTER IVA quarrel ensues between
the husband and wife; Aaron swears that
she shall be sorry for what she has said,
and rushes away; Nelly is Immediately
sorry enough, begs and prays for his re-
turn; and night comes on with Aaron still
absent, and Nelly in grief and despair,
awaiting his return.

He swung his hat in the van;
The electric hoof-spark flew.

Into amaranths for the head

Who raised them from the dead.

Rang with laughter of the host
