EUROPEAN WAR SUDIDIARI
A special dispatch says it has final
ly been decided to reassemble the
present Prussian Chambers, but to
dissolve them and order a new elec
tion, when a more trustworthy
Government majority is expected.
Bismarck has refnsed to release Ja
coby. At Soissons the siege is pro
gressing favorably. Gambetta has
issued au appeal to -o th° people, in
which he calls for fresh sacrifices.
The French army of Lyons is moving
to the relief of Bazaine. •- 'The latter,
says a special, is cordially co-operat
ing with the Government• at - Tours
and Tiochn at Paris. The World's
correspondent states that the North
German Government has issued an
order that all foreigners . not French
men found in arms against Germany
shall be put to death. A retaliatory
order will be issuA from Paris and
Tours.. The Prussians are pushing
their works near Meriden and Pim
borien hill, near Sevres. A bombard
ment will soon be opened on Pfalz
bnrg. Theirs had an interview with
the. Emperor of Austria, which is
said to have been satisfactory.
King Williani . has relieved Ver
sailles from the payment of - 40,000
francs which had been levied on it
by the Prussians. The village of Ab
lie was. burned by the Prussians.
General Gagibaldi addressed a great
crowd at Tours, and told them that
he was to command all the volun
teers in the French service. A battle
is expected to take place near Tours
very shortly, as French and Prussian
forces are concentrating in that vicin
ity. A correspondent at Berlin says
that Bazaine is fighting to secure an
escape to Belgium, and that the force
under Gen. Von Werder is marching
to meet the Army of Lions between
Belfoit and Langres. An official no
tice published at Berlin says that
Prussia will not restore the Buona
parte dynasty.

that when captured the Germans will
not be able to furnish ,food for two
millions' of people ; and great num
bers must perish of hunger. The
Germans evacuated Mulhause on
Sunday, and moved toward Schles

reclaiming young men, and they go
about the streets nights and pick up
young men who show signs of •dissi

A London correspondent of some Af-'
rican experience writea asfollows :
"Many people believe that this
great traveler is dead because he has
not been heard from for a long time.
But they should try and realize the
distance from Lake Tanganyika to
the coast, a distance which is not to
"be measured only by miles. Letters
arrive only by , accident, so to
from that part of the world; and _the
of a cholera epidemic at Zan
zibar would certainly reach the in
terior, and perhaps prevent the na
tive traders from paying their usual
visit to the coast. Thus, even sup
posing that Dr. Living,stone had sent
a letter to the lake by some friendly
postman, it would not be difficult to
explain how it had miscarried. But
his last letter indicated that he was
about to set off on a new journey,
and if he has gone into some country
which is not traversed by Arabs or
other commercial travelers he might
find it difficult, even impossible, to
send a letter down to the lake whence
he started. People expect to hear of
Livingstone's arrival on the coast;
but he did not in his' last letter ex
press any intention of returning to
the coast. There is," indeed, some
reason to fear that when his goods
come to an end, (I fear the past tense
must be used,) he might sufferiviva
bons. But there are Arabs in the
country, and Arabs are hoipitable,
though nevves are not. Besides the
Africans give explorers, credit for in
exhaustible wealth, and it - is proba
ble enough that a negro chief would,
in the event of a white man's goods
being spent, offer him board and
lodging till a fresh supply should ar
rive. But in such a case the traveler
would be detained till the bill was
paid."
LETTER FROM COLORADO.

FRIMVD ALVORD: Although a stran
ger to you I have been a resident of
Monroeton previous to coming 'here,
and have a number of friends there
who take the REPORTER, and as I
thought you would like to hear from
this place as well as my friends, I
concluded to make one letter do for
all.
3,014
I believe you have had some cor
respondence from here, giving you
some information in regard ti4Gree
ley, and I will try to add to it . a lit
tle. The place is building up very
fast; there are over three hundred
houses here now. Every thing is
sold by the pound—apples, pears,
tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, and in
fact all kinds of produce. We have
a heavy coal yard here too; they
weigh the coal on a pair of common
counter scales. How js that for high ?
Sun-dried brick has been the• rage
for building houses withe, adobies
they are called, but they have had a
sudden collapse. You see it never
rains here, (at least so onr commit
tee said), but somehow or another the
machinery overhead got out of order
and opened the flood-gates in the
wrong place, and down came the
rain, and not a gentle spring shower
either; it came down with a ven
geance, and so did the " adobies;"
from mud they were made, and unto
mud they returned. Before the rain,
" adobies " were good stock, worth
five dollars a thousand. You can get
about the same price now to Clear
the rubbish off the land.
The land is very productive as far
swe have been able to judge. Gar
den vegetables grow to perfection;
and so does cactus, with thorns an
inch in length, that go right through
a pair of shoes, and you will often
see a person, in -walking, suddenly
give a jump, and Chen sit down to
pull out the thorns.' •
The Cache-la-Pomire river that
comes down from the Rocky .Moun
tains, cold as ice and clear as crystal,
(so our committee reported it) has
changed rather suddenly, and since I
have been here it, has been quite an
ordinary stream, without any of the
" clear ' and " cold."
Well, I believe I have exhausted'
myself in regard to colony matters,
and for the benefit of my Mends I
will give them my experience in re
to horse-back riding. I have
U
een taking my•first lesson. I have
hadtvery little experience with horses
and always regarded them as rather
"ferocious inimiles." tlow every

told upon reliable authority, that the
" natives " commence to train a baby
when he is about one month old. So
you see it is quite necessary for me
to learn (at least so my partner says)
to be in fashion.
Well, my partner, who is a splen
did horseman, has been continually
urging me to go riding with him.
I have kept promising him - and con
tinually backing out. At last he got
mad and brought the horses to the
shop, before I knew what he was
about. I tried to excuse myself
again, but it was no go; as he is a
good deal bigger than I• am, he just
grabbed me by the slack of The
breeches and shook me. So of course
I gracefully submitted, and - com
menced to prepare for , the dreaded
ordeal by carefully padding myself
and putting on a stove-pipe hat so
as to help me keep nay balance. The
horse started and so did I, holding
on to the, saddle as tight as the wool
on a darkey's head. Will gave the
horse a cut and awaywe went like
the wind, and I hallooing for him to
stop the horse, but lie would not do.
it. The citizens turned out to look
at and and cheer. I rode about eight
miles, jolting up and down like a
i
cobble stone n a cart -with the horse
at full speed. I felt a good deal the
same as if I had been eating a mess
of of half-cooked beans, or had eaten
a lot cd raw dried apples and then

regard to this Portion of the State of
Nebraska.
Fremont., thei county seat of Dodge
county, is located in the midst , of an
extensive tigriCaltlind '614144,` hay
seven miles, west Omaha, on the
U. P. B. .8., and about one mile
north of the Platte river. 'Like most
Western towns it covers considerable
territory, has plenty .of building
room, is splendidly ont, and' is
destined to be a thrifty inland city.
It contains at present n` population
of about 15,00 inhaNtßits, among
whom can be found . many shrewd,
far-seeing business-Men—several of
them-formerly from old Bradford. A
Court House has just been erected.
which I must say looks more useful
than ornamenta l, although there ap
pears but little use for it at present,
as the people seem to be law-abiding,
social and industrious. Everybody
seem to buve.ipmething to do; and
do it with a - will After spending
two weeks here, I have jet to see a
single drunken or lidos:misted person
in the place. Owing to fiat scarcity
of money and the low price of - grain
of all kinds, business is rumenelly
dull, and eveqthingie quiet.
Mr. IN. N. from Hometi;
Ferry, reached here with his family
last week, and has already - made
preparations for erecting a place of
business.
Fremont has churches, schooli,
temperance organizations, -etc.,' Birch
as are found in all enterprising and
well regulated villages. As- very fine
brick Seminary graces the north part
of the place. The Elkhorn Valley
R. R. Co. - , have erected a very line
round house just east of the. U. P.
depot. Report says that the best
regulated eating house on the U. P.
R. R., is located here.
It would certainly pay many of the
hard-working, stay-at-home fanners
of Bradford, to pay a visit to this
country, and study the advantages of
farming and stock-raising on the
Western prairie. Thousands of rich
and fertile acres scattered broadcast
over the country, awaiting the indus
try and energy of eastern farmers to
adapt them to the wants .of millions
of our race, and which will repay an
hundred fold for the time; labor, and
money, expended in their develop
ment.
The soil of Nebraska is probably
as rich and fertile as any in the
West. Wood and stone, it is true,
are not found in great quantities, in
many parts of the State. Brick and
wood can be procured at about the
same figures as in the East, and meet
all demands for building purposes.
Cellar walls are almost entirely dis
pensed with, awing to the peculiar
formation of the soil, which is hardly
ever affected by frosts. Water is
clear and pure, and can be found in
any qualitaties at a depth 'of about
20 to 25 feet.
The crops of all kinds are very
good this year. As the country is
new, there has been a- great demand
for wheat, oats and corn, and almost
every farmer has devoted most of his
time in raising those crops—result,
large yields' and low prices. But I
notice that they are learning wis
dom, and many of them are devoting
much of their attention to the -rais
ing of broom-corn; barley, flax, soi
ghum, etc., which meets with a ready
sale, and returns large
,profits. I
visited a Mr. Short, who lives about
two miles north of here, and who has
140 acres of as fine broom-corn as
was probably ever raised. He has
contracted the entire crop at $lOO
per ton, - delivered in Omaha. Mr.
S. expects to harvest at least 50 tons,
and when we deduct $4O per ton for
the entire expense, he has the snug
little sum of $3,000 for his summer's
-crop from 140 acres, which I call a
good year's profit. !This can' be done
on most of the land in Nebraska.
Every man can procure himself
farm of just such land, on time, of
any of the different R. R. Co's. in
the West; or buy, homestead or pre-
empt of the Government. Verily,
" Uncle Sam is rich enough to give
us all a farm r The R. R. Co's. own
each alternate section, or mile square
which they are selling at from $2.50
to $l5 per acre
A soldier who has served ovei
ninety days in the Government serv
ice, and who has not already had the
benefit of the act, can homestead 160
acres of any unoccupied land, includ
ing the R. R. grants; and this is
generally preferable to most other
wild land.
At presenk perhaps, the most im
portant item in this country is fuel.
Coal can be procured at prices rang
ing from $ll to $lB per ton. There
is a reasonable amount of cotton
wood along the streams, which has
escaped the ravaging fires, -Which
have been so destructive , to the
grewth of trees in all previous time.
But as the, country becomes settled
and Cultivated, the fires disappear,
and in a few years there will be any
amount of nice young timber. A
"cottonwood grove will farnialif five
years from planting,• an abundance of
fuel for one family. There are a
great many of them growing in this
vicinity that present a very fine ap

Jusknow, as in Penn., politics are
all the excitement in Nebraska. The
Republicans are in the majority, but
owing to several splits in different
parts of the State, the Democrats feel
confident, of electing their Governor.
It appears to me that' both parties
have selected rnscals for candidites,
and the main effort, on both sides, is
to see who is the biggest' rascal of
the two. But I suppose the people
will decide on the 11th of this month,
when I also expect, to see the Repub
licans-of Pennsylvania rise in their
might and completely rout the De
mocracy7evecuilly in 'the XITIth
Congressional district.
Wishing not to trespass further on
your valuable space,
I am truly yours,

-
to. Nei , York during, the, huit four
weeks numbered about onelitindred
thousand . Itords.. -liew York has
been better _posted on the , issue of
the war each daythan London, Paris
or Berlin. These-dispatehes have
almost wholly leen sent by a single
cable, hill one-thirdof -the whole: to
a single daily,paper, and with ;mar
velous rapidity and accuracy. Runn
ier as we are with the work of the
telegraph, it has been a marvel to us.
To hundreds of thousands of minds
the whole process is and has been a
deep enigma. Here is a man sitting
in a dark room at Heart's Content.
The ocean cable terminates here. A.
fine wire attached•thereto is made to
surround two small cares of softiron.
As the electric wave, produced by a
few pieces of copper and zinc at Va l
lentil, passes t hro ugh the wires,
these cores become magnetic enough ,
to move the slightest object. A look
ing-glass half an inch in diameter, is
fixed on a bar of iron one-tenth of an
inch square and half an inch long.
On this tiny glass a lamp is made to
glare so that its light is reflected on
a tablet on the wall. The language
of the cable is denoted by the shifting
of this reflected light from side to
aide: Letter by letter is thus express
ed 'in this fitting idiom in utter
silence on the wall. There is no rec
ord made by the machine except as
the patient watcher calls out to a
comrade the translated flashes as
they come, and which he records. It
seems a Miracle of patience. There
is something 4?f awe creeps over us
as we see the evidence of a human
touch 3,000 miles - away swaying that
line of light. By such a delicate
process as this, and after being re
peated from line to lino five times be
fore its ultimate copy is in New York,
have the late great battles been re
corded in our daily papers with great
particularity and sent throughout the
Union. Nothing like it has ever be
fore been accomplished. The enter-,
prise bf the New York press, of a
single press in New York, has eclips
ed that of the wealthiest and ablest
presses in Europe. It is character
istic of the nation to do its work
grandly and well.
