IIlve Springs, Nib., April 28, 1883. Mb. Moiitiiimer: According to prom ise I will now write to you from this part of the ortEAT West. It la now about flyo months since I with my family left our romantically situated home in much be loved old Lehigh Gap, gave tbo parting hand and fervent adieu kiss, moistened with copious tears, to near and dear rel atives, bade warm-hearted good byes to a host ot kind neighbor friends who very legsrdfully gathered at tbe railroad station at our departure, and started for tbe far off State of young Nebraska. None but those who have had a like ex perience know what it Is to undertake such a far away move with a family of children, thus severing them suddenly from such relations, and especially an aged grandmother, to whom tbeir fre quent visits or presenco of tbe past was n great source of pleasure and satisfac tion. There is a sadness tbat seizes tbe heart for the time which can be seriously felt but not expressed. Looking how ever to the fututo interests of our boys ' and glrls.and the bonefitof our shattered health as parents that wo might derive in the change, are the principal reasons tbat lndneed us to take this step, and deny ourselves of nil such eomforts for the time being tbat the East affords above the West A safr, pleasant and unde- layed journey of four days, bronght us to our destination. Our car of house- hold goods which we bad dispatched two weeks prior to our leaving, to our very agreeable surprise reached the station here just tbe night previous to our ar rival. This was a perfect Ood-seud of fortune to us, und in a day we wer snug- lr oLSConced in our Nebraska (small) house, which! we had engaged several weeks ahead. Tbo extreme West is proverbial for small houses, a miserable custom we do not mean to lapse into, as well as we shall endeavor to adhere to all else that is good which we were nc customed to and practiced in the old Keystone State. This includes besideb all else "war to the knife," and a whole extermination of bed-bugs, cock roaches and all eUe of tbe kind, indigen ous to western soil and spontaneous to a goodly portion of western habits. The past winter was an unusually se vere one for Nebraska. The thermome ter standing several mornings 20 degrees below zero. Having beard, while in tbe East, of the severe blizzards in this treeless country, we had the opportunity of going through a number of them (his past winter and can now speak from ex perience. While they are not as intense in severity as we Imagined from reports received, they are nevertheless sharper than tbe sleet storms of Pennsylvania, which is tbe blizzard storm here. The ladies mufllo up the face and neck at al most any timo during tho winter, much more than we ever saw it before. Al though there are occasional colder days here in mid-winter than in Penna., we have interspersed now and then pleasant sunshining days not customary in Penn sylvania, and then cold weather does cot seem to sot in ax early, and spring weather opens up much ahead of my na tive State. While you havo been having snow and cold rains aud awful roads in March, we havo been haviDg mostly pleasant weather, generally good roads but an occasional day of high wind. It is not at all unusual for farmers hero to sow their spring wheat in February. One of the pleasant winter features of Kansas and Nebraska is the almost en tire absence of rainfall. Plenty of stock is kept with no more roof than the open canopy of Heaven, and a straw protec tion, supported by stakos set deep in the ground, to shelter from the north winds. This town of Blue Springs is nicely loca ted on elevated ground and overlooksBlue River. It derives its name from a bub bling spring close by. Has a population of 1G00 according to this Spring's oensns and has a steady healthy growth of bright prospects. Tbe river affords an excel lent water power at tbis point, and a grist mill of moderato size has been in operation for several years. Tbe Union Pacific Railroad, which strikes tbis place with a north and south Kit. and which is abont to be extended to Lin coln, the capital of the State, have pur chased this mill property and site and intend erecting a new mill of immense capacity, casting about $50,000. This water power is unexcelled by any in the State, as the river has a cooil fall and the dam is built on rock foundation, and will prove to be of invaluable advantage to the town. The great O. 13. i Q IUt. in its through Hue west to Denver, Col,, pass at Wymore, one mile south of here. These two places will eventually grow together, although there is a brisk spirit of rivalry between the two towns now. There is every probability tbat Blue Springs will at no distant day become a railroad centre and the connty seat of a new county. This county of Gage is at present double the size of neighboring counties. The county seat is Beatrice, a stirring town of about 4000 inhabitants, north of Vine Springs. The Indian reservation in the southern part of this county, ctraprfotag an area of 40,000 acres, commences about 1 J miles south of this place, Tbe Iudians have moved to Indian Territory and these lauds will be thrown on the market era long. As soon ns this vast farming area is disposed of and occupied, efforts will be made for a division of tbe county; in which event Blue Springs, tbe second largest town to Beatrice.will be located iu the geograph ical centre of the new couuty, and can not fail, on aocount of its additional other advantages, to become its county seat. Gage county, is a stock county in the main. Corn Is the chief cereal raised, and grows luxuriantly. Wheat does ordinarily well, but corn stands at tbe bead, and where corn is king, pork and beef will thrive. The suafaoe of the couutry is gently and beautifully undu lating, aud it is a rich treat for tbe East ern inau to gaze on these broad acr:s when covered with nature's verdure. I should cot neglect to mention here that sorghum cane is raised already to con siderable extent in tbis couutry. As its growth is similar to com, It thrives where corn will. The syrup made from It takes tbe place of the New Orleans baking of tbe East, and is very little in ferior to it Tbe raising of tbe cane and manufacturing of the surghum will ere loug become quits an induktry of Ne braska, Water is obtained in abundance from wells,ln depth from 20 to CO feet neith er drouth nor wet seems to affoot this water mpply It is about always the same. Close to the town are magnifi cent stone quarries, but hardly devel oped as yet The stoue are soft and easily dressed, bnt become harder by oxposure, and ore a beautiful cream col or. Nebraska's population iu point of intelligence is far above the nvorago. Tbe last census report says that in Iowa only 21 out of every 1000 of her popula tion cannot read, showing the least 111! (raoy of any state In the union. Nebras ka rates the next highest 25 to every 1000 cot able to read. I find tbis part of tbe State represented by abont every 8tate, and a lew residents even from Va., and Maryland; though Iowa, Illi nois and Ohio, figure the most numer ously, I had occasion to be in a store onn day when a remarkably tall, gaunt young farmer stalked in. After ha went out, a bystander acquainted with the young giant remaaked, that fellow Btretcbes Ci feet and crowed in Illinois. While these Western folks are remark ably goabeadative in nature, they also havo a nature to represent everything in a high-sounding scale, are apt to citify every little town and bigtfy everything else. Anything of a stable is called a barn though a horsa needn't "noor back" six inches to trace himself, nor priok his ears to touch tbe stable roof, and though the mow be outside, in tho shnpo of a stack facing the boundless heavens and ropes slung over it with stones pending to each side to keep the hay on ieeiu fiuma. Seventeen years ago while on a trip west, in company with Dr. H. IL Iliegel, of Catasauqtm and Wm. 11, uisb, of Slatington, Bpeed ing along, we suddenly struck along what was to us a small stream of water. The Dr. in his usual inquisitive way quickly accosted a passenger near by: "Friend, what Creek is this?" "Creek! Humph, why that's the Miami river." The joke was too good, tbe Dr. almost succumbed March is the customary movlDg month In Nebraska. It is really amusing to see the vovcitd wagon flitting) "prairie schooners" as they are dubbed here go through town, still further westward, hot a small stovepipe generally peeps a smoking through the cover in front. '. noticed one of these "prairie schooners' wending Its way through town a few weeks ago, en route, as I suppose, for Dakota. The following novel sentence was painted in awkward style on tbe side: "Dakota or Bust" I was lold by a Kansas friend tbat cot long ago he no. ticed oca of these movings traveling eastward, evidently disgusted with or had some misfortune further west and was retracing bis steps. The motto on his schooner read: "Going home to my wife's folks." Continuely moving to do better is a contagious habit to some of these extreme western folks, seeking af ter Borne sweet Eldorado where they can suddenly get rich with little or no ex. ertlon and have abundance of leisure. seems to engross very strongly the minds of a certain class of this western popu lation. But these migratory characters seldom acquire the longing of their hearts, proving over again that a "roll ing stone gathers no moss." Hero is an instance however of how soma peopj do hit it and become amazingly wealthy, Mr. , originally from Indiana, owned a farm a mile south of Blue bprings. He could not read nor write, but the O. B. & Q. Ml., Co., built their road through his farm and made a town slto of it, and to day he is worth from $100,000 to $200,000-ttll within 2 years. He has learned to .vrite his name within the Inst year. He still tries to be very saving, as be calls it, though others class him in the penurious line. His apparel does not indicate any command of dollars whatever. Wishing to see the gentleman one day on a matter of busi ness, I addressed a man standing on street comer, thus: Do you know Mr . "xes, sir. -nave you seen blm about? "Not to-day." "I'd like to see him, but I don't think I would recog nize bim if I were to see bim." "Well I tell you, he wears awful poor clothes, I went to bis shanty of a house a short distance from town, which was about 14x18 ft, one story high and the room divided up with calico curtains, instead of being partitioned off by studding, lathing and plastering. His little tea year old boy, sandy bairacd face blotch ed with monstrous freckles, strutted about wearing a part of a pair of boots leaving a protruding of all wee mut to great toe. Mr. says "git" forget and "ax" for ask. He Is about 50 years of ace and wishes he was 18 and knew what be now knows (?) I suppose he is glad be came West for he has struck lus." Tbe Temperance sentiment here, like in Iowa and Kansas, is far in advance of Pennsylvania and other Eastern States, A? a rnlf ; oaple are opposed to the liq uor traffic mid an Improvement over tbis nefarious 83 stem in the Eastern States, is that r.ll nlcobolio drinks are dispensed at saloons only and cot customarily at ho tels. Tha law of Nebraska very wisely prohibits saloons from placing screens" at their entrances, and the use of stained glass in the windows, a common prae tlce in tho East. The "high license" system is the Uw in this State the next best thing to prohibition. When I was a boy I studied Geography, my atlas pointed out "Tbe Great American Des ert," what now embraces the fertile states of Kansas and Nebraska, the now Great American farming country. It is singu lar that theso rich and boundless prairies which are fast becoming the granary of tbe continent, so to speak, were deemed nothing else but an immense piece of barren waste and destitution. Timo and experience through Ktt., facilities have demonstrated differently, and in half a century to come, tbis comparative ly sparsely oocupied territory will be teeming with a population wonderful to relate. It bas Its drawbacks and un. pleasantnesses to be sure, like every oth er locality, especially beoause it is new; but such a fertile boII, disposed so beau tlfully and advantageously by kind Providence in. a generally healthy cli mate is destined, by the aided culture of the hand of man, to surpass anything on tbis continent in productiveness. Groves are being exteniively planted, fruit trees set out and In less than a quarter of a century, this once foreellesa area will be grandly changed and beautified. The rising generation shall reap the glad fruition of these hopes. Hire Is room for the apparently overorowded portions of the East, and a young mau of determ ination, stick and ebarater has an all favorable chanco to carve out for himself an ample if cot an Immense fortune.

Ex-Congressman and ex-Land Com missioner Bnrdette, once well known and prominent in Washington circles, but for some years past "out of sight and ont of mind," was about the city last week. He is a dark-eyed, Stout, dark complexioned man, somewhat, past middle age, with an air of melancholy reserve. He rarely speaks, and has al most no intimate friends. The circum stance which once made bis came faniil iar over the land has perhaps been for gotten by most people. After his ap pointment as Land Commissioner by President Grant he went along quietly for some time, made a good officer, and appeared contented. His methods of doing business were direct, bis decisions clear, and his dark eyes never expressed unrest. But one day be disappeared from his office without leaving behind a single trace. There was nothing the most imaginative detective could call a clue. He had gone away without re signing. Various rumors floated abont for several days. By Borne it was said he had taken passage on board an out going European steamer,and bad jumped overboard tbe first eight Although no one knew anything, it was generally cou eluded Burdette had committed suicide, Tbe fact of bis going off and leaving a good office argued in favor of the suicide theory. Not a word was heard of tbe missing man for two years. Then,witb out a word of warning, he walked into his own house in the little Missouri vil lage where he bad Jived before going to Washington. He at first could make no explanation. He was worn out with fa tigue. After a night of rest he was able to tell his story. It was a remarkable one. He had lost consciousness in bis office at Washington the day of bis, dis appearance, and, when he regained his right mind again so as to rccogize his old self he was in Australia, and nearly two years bad passed. Of tbat period he could not remember one w.onl prior to the time when he came to himself In Australia. I wonder wUal jolly spirit returned to earth occupied tbe Burdette tenement for two years. Tbe adventures' of a stolen body, What a subject for a The center of attraction of tbe dead letter office is tbe recently established museum where the eyes of visitors can feast on almost anything from a needle to an anchor. In faot, tt contains every thing that can be enumerated. This ac quisition to the many objects of interest to those sight-seeing here is the work of Major E. J. Dallas, chief of the dead-letter office, who bas been indefatigable in his efforts to place on exhibition all ar ticles held in tbe office that would show or give an idea of the class of articles passing through the mails. Another ob ject in viow was to avoid tbe annoyance of visitors to tbe rooms where the clerks are engaged, wben tbe time of the clerks is taken up explaining the character of articles aud work of the ofllce. By tbe new arrangement every convenience is afforded tbo visitor, who is properly re ceived by a lady in charge of the museum, who gives a graphio description of every thing contained therein and such other information as may be desired by tbe visitor relative to tbe working of tbe of fice. Dum Pedro. Feou oob Reoulab Correspondent. Washinqtok, D. C, April 30, 18S3. While disenssing tbe speakership of tbe next House of Representatives the other diy, somebody asked why Frank Hurd, of Ohio, had not been brought out. Undoubtedly, be would make a good speaker, but he is not a candidate, and notwithstanding his popularity,tbere are reasons why his candidacy would not be wise or successful. But this reminds me of a circumstanoe connected with the eleotoral count ot 187C-7. Mr. Hurd was a member of Congress then, and one of the ninety Democrats who ttood out t j the last against the outrage of counting in Hayes. He bad in his possession facts which would have enabled bim to defeat the eount bad cot his high sense of honor prevented bis using them. Ills room at Wormley's hotel was next to the one in which the famous conference oi Republican leaders was held, aud he overheard, by accident some of tbe strategic- schemes for deoeiving tbe Democrats and the propositions made to certain southern members in order to gain their acquiesence to the work of the commission. Yet Hurd never made any use of hli knowledge. Neither has he since ever given an account of what be beard. He told me once, says a well known western correspondent, about tbe fact of bis being made an iuvoluntary eavesdropper, and wben I asked bim what he beard, be replied, "Enough to have defeated tbe oountlng in of Hayes beyond a peradventura, but I could bet ter have afforded to have him couuted in than to have used illegitimate means to defeat that end. I could not afford to go down in history as an eavesdropper, and sol held my tongue, not even telling any of my associates until the tight was over." One.ofour local journals aptly says that the Union Paoitlo railway comnanv accustomed to duns irom tbe govern, mint, will not be surprised to receive tha letter sent recently by Secretary Teller to Sidney Dillon, Eeq.,presidont,maklng an urgent demand for the immediate payment of the uncontested sum of $1,030,824.88. No part of this debt is disputed, not even the 88 cents; neither is any part of it paid or tendered for payment; but it is now hoped that Pres ident Sidney Dillon will either renew the old excuse or put up a better one. A discouraged claimant onse said the plan of the government was to assume that overy bill It is asked to pay is fraudulent and then wear out the claimant in mak ing bim prove it a few times in tbe de partments and before congressional committees. This statement came, of course, from the inflamed imagination of an enraged claimant, and it is only of use in passing a suggestion that if it were true.it may be said that the govern ment has made a match in this railway, so long and so wide. It is the only cor poration in tbe world with more assur ance than the Washington gas company, and runs its trains as placidly while own ing millions to tbe government as though it held a surplus invested in gas stock. Mr. Secretary Teller reminds Mr. Pres' dent Sidney Dillon tbat by tbe act of 1878 he is enjoined from paying, making or voting any dividends to stockholders of tbe company until the five per senium of net earnings and other money due the government has been paid; and after calling attention to this law, the Secre tary of the Interior says to the road in effect that it will do well to pay what is inoontestible due, and go into tbe law of tbe disputed parts of the debt afterward, tbe payment of the requirement for tbe year ending, December, 1882, not to pre judice any sums In dispute. If Mr. President Dillon takes a free and easj stand in the matter maintained by him toward the government directors of tbe road, be will probably put the letter away in tho pigeon-hole with the other government duns, and tell his secretary to wake him up when it comes time for another dividend. It will be interesting to watch tbe case and learn by the issne which is the greater, tbe government or a subsidized railway running through the middle of its territory. maimers, 01 Mississippi, came on here to make himself solid in the matter of patronage, to secure absolute control of all appointments in bis State, after tbe manner of Mabone in Virginia, and went home with his tall feathers considerably curled. His business was chiefly with the.Post Office Department, and the new Postmaster General had views of his own touohing the matter. So Chalmers got left It is even hintod that if Juge Gresham had his own way, without in terference from higher authority, Mr. Mabone won t bo as potent in that de partment hereafter as ho has been here tofore. The fact is, the new cabinet officer is disposed to administer to his department on business principles, lit has stopped the practice of allowing ap. plicauts for clerkships from States whose quotas are full to credit themselves to others States. Tha other day a huuflry ofllce seeker applied for a certain place on the ground that tbo incumbent bad it long enough. The Postmaster General told bim it would take bim five or six months to decide that question, and ad vised the applicant meanwLile to look out for some other employment Ap parently, everything is lovely between the new head of the Post Office depart ment and bis subordinates, and if he fulfils the policy he bas shadowed forth of requiring nothing of any of tbe people nuder him, whether high or low, but to attend faithfully to their business it is likely things will go on very hnrmoni ously.
