Stephens made a oonveynnoe by deed, of

made it, end I think did make it to Rufus

of wbioh waa, that inasmuch ts he had

laaaad the said road to certain and divers

Stephens, one of the said parties, had

Cheyenne, Wyoming Tebbitohy,)
Jane 28, 1874. )
A trip over the Union Pacific) Railroad
is an event in itself. Its tremendous de
pots, lengthy trains, magnificent appoint
ments, and the bustle and etir of tourists,
travelers, emigrants and employers, far ex*
ceeds anything—in the West at least. To
see a railroad nearly eleven hundred milea
long, which uses peven thousand ears,
three hundred and fifty locomotives, em
ploys an army of men and cost two hnn-
dred millions of dollars, is oalculated to
inspire one with a respect for its immen
sity which the knowledge of ite mon
strous robberies and rogueries eannot do
away. So entirely novel ia auoh a trip,
that it is beet to experience it to properly
appreciate it.
Leaving Omaha at lty a. m , we expe
rienced tho most delightful trip to Colum
bus, Neb. Over the prairie; through the
magnifioent Platte Valley—not a particle
of dust, as all is green award or
beautiful growing crops—a splendid
breeze and the most modern cars
there ia nothing wanting to make
this trip the most pleasant possible.
We had scarcely begun to admire the
wonderful development of the country—
to speculate on the long, long ago, when
the mighty waves of a great ooean washed
in ceaseless agitation the very grounds
now bearing ita photograph—when we roll
up to Oolumbus. Met at the station by
several citizens, we feel that their pleas
ant faces can but be an earnest of a pleas
ant visit here ; and auoh it waa. No nig
gard soul is buried beneath the bronzed
skins of these Western friends. Many of
the party were entertained by private citi
zens ; the rest stopped at the two leading
hotels. A constant breeze, cool and de
lightful, has been blowing all day; no
stingy breeze—a real oool, stiff wind.
This ia the heart of the wonderful agri
cultural lauds of Nebraska. As far aa the
•ye oan reach is one vast prairie. A few
miles to the west begins the table lands,
somewhat elevated beyond the prairie Oo
lumbus is situated upon. This town con
tains about 1800 people, and is the child of
a few years—the old trading post beiog
three-quarters of a mile from the present
business of the town. Three years ago
one oar loal of, wheat was tho exports of
the town. Lust year there were nine
hundred car loads shipped. This year
there will be a great deal more than last.
The lands for miles are perfectly level.
The soil is four to seven feet deep. Oorn
is planted three to fonr graius in a hill,
checked two feet in the row and tho drill.
Toe land produces about thirty bushels of
wheat, and seventy-five to ninety bushels
of corn. Oats are looking well, but the
people plant very little of them. There
are cows grazing everywhere. Our land
lord Las eight at his hotel; he gets forty
gallons of milk front them a day—five
gallons to the cow. I saw them, and
milked them. Water is found about
twenty to thirty feet beneath the surfaoe
it is very good ; most of the wells are
“driven” wells. Fuel is the greatest
drawback to the country. There is little
or no wood fonnd, except on the streams,
and this is always cottonwood; couse
qnently coal is used, costing about $10 to
$11 per ton. This coal is bronght from
the mines of the Rocky Mountains.
What a stir these people are making
about the 4th of July! I had almost for
gotten the day. The 2Gili of April being
so indelibly impressed on Southerners,
they forget other dates. The boys com
posing the Brass Band gave ns a serenade
here. Of course we gave them a talk,
and said, “Won’t you smile ?” Every
body felt good and everybody smiled.
Wind is the motive power, and wind
mills the insignia of the country. The Platte
flowing to the south of the town, only
abont a mile away, the Loup Fork oom-
ing in from the northwest, Shell and Bea
ver ereeks, only a few miles away, give
this soot ion more than the usual share of
streams. Our landlord is sn old settler,
and has made “piles” trading with the
Indians and keeping inn. He has a
house full of buffalo robes and many
Pawnees are working and dressing them.
Their tannery t which is primitive eoongb,
is only a faw rods from the house.
The people seem to be very honest here.
Our proprietor told ns to leave the door
of the bed room open, it was safe enough.
A big bull-dog, the pet of the place, lay
down seemingly to watch it for ns. All
this was the occasion of a “scene.” Onr
friend Swift, has a sonorous catch in his
voioe, when qrteep. Bo loud end eo high
did he pitch the key that night, that soon
otark, cham^erieaiyls end proprietor were
hovering around onr door to know what
“Old Bull” was growling so furiously at.
I explained this Georgia eccentricity and
it quieted' them.
The clever citizens of Oolninbus fur
nished ns vehicles, and on Thursday we
visited the Pawnee Reservation, twenty-
one milea away.
Did yon ever see a jack-rabbit ? He
looks like a narrow-gang** mule, and runs
like trained lightning. We had scarcely
got ont of tho corporate limits, when a
dog which was wtth us started one of
these rabbits. They slip along just
ahead of tke dog, until, fired of such fun,
he tucks his head close to hit side, lays
b)s ears back and puts so muoh land be
tween himself and his pursaer that the
dog concludes bn has business at home
and returns there. ,
The drive to the Reservation was a de
lightful one. The roads are perfectly
level—oo brhkea, no mnd-boloa and very
little dust. Every team in this oountry
being doifolb, the* middle of the road is
grown up in grass. You oan travel easily
seven or eight miles an hour, and in three
hours we were with the Pawnees. This
Reservation includes 280,000 aores of the
finest lands in Nebraska.
Nothing Strikes a Goorgian so much in
his travels in this country, as the entire
absence of fences. Many of these pio
neers are"living in sod houses. Tha turf
is cut by a sod-plow into strips twelve
inches wide. This is the original break
ing np of the land. The grass roots are
short. The turf is therefore abont two
and a half inches thick. They ont this
strip into blooks two or three
feet long, and use them as
building stone—a warm, cozy house it
makes.
The farmers hers do nearly everything
by machinery. I tried plowing with this
■od-plow. No stnmps, no roots, and a
good donble team does abont two acres
a day. The oorn is plowed with a cultiva
tor on wheels. A machine plants twelve
acres of corn per day. Grain is cut alto-
gether with reapers.
Last winter was a mild one. Bnow is very
common in winter. Rain is nnkown, ex*
oept in the spring months.
The Government bos the Pawnees in
oharge. A beautiful brick sohool-honse,
three stories high, contains the school
rooms,, eating houses and rooms
of the Gommissioncrs and those of
the teachers. Most of these teachers are
Virginia ladies. Exhibitions were giveu
of the progress made by those sons of
Nature in acquiring civilization. They
sing well. Their songs are all education -
al and embrace the lesson, being filled
with gestures representing the different
subjects treated of. Tho Pawnees, once
one of the most powerful and dreaded of
all the Western tribes,have been by the dis
eases of civilization, and wars with the
Sioux and whites, narrowed down to a
remnant of their former grandeur. Their
number is 2,000 now. I called upon
their Chiefs, saw and gestured with
them. The Sioux, their deadly enemies,
had only the night before driven in two
of the Pawnee hunters, and heuoe they
were all excited. In the Gounoil Lodge
sat eight or ten of their chiefest braves,
all nearly naked, smoking their pipes, beat
ing their drums andohucking their horns.
On the topmost part of the highest lodge
■its several watchera-out. This vigilance
is never abated. Constantly dreading
the Sioux, who are powerful, quick and
well armed, the life of a Pawnee is one of
oonstaut dread And vigilance. Eagle
Chief is now old. Ho was kind and clev
er to yonr correspondent, and showed
him his three squaws and his oldest son,
who was a fine looking fellow. The
Pawnees are noted for their bravery
and filth. Their braves took delight iu
showing their wounds, many of which
weie dangerous and severe. The last
buffalo hunt taken by them last
fall was a terrible time for these
poor devils. The Sioux waited until their
supply of buffalo moat was all obtained, 4
and theu by a at rut ago in—viz: driving a
few buffalo over the hill in sight of the
Pawnees—drew their braves from tho
camp. Then, with a sudden swoop—
quicker than thought—they murdered all
the women and obildreu (abont eighty iu
all), stole one hundred horses and all the
meat. The Quakers have charge of
the Pawnee education, and to these gen
tlemen we are indebted for a hearty wel
come and a splendid dinner.
Several of our party have determined
to locate at Columbus. Two papers—
both weeklies—aro thriving at Oolumbus.
Both of tho editors wo met, and found
them clever and kiud. We left Columbus
ami 1 heartfelt g »od-byes, loving the
place and the people.
Tligre is little to interest one, beyond
the magnificent valley, iu the trip west
ward, nntil you reach Cheyenne. Here
the wind was blowing a gale, and, a •> it
never rains, the dust and gravel was
mostly in the air. It is cold—cold enough
for an overcoat—and os I walk np to the
post-office, this zephyr nearly blows me
away. The only way to walk ahead is to
walk backward. No eyes or face, unused
to it, oan stand this terrible pelting of
stones driven by a gale. The only item
which attracted me in the short stay here
was a manufacturing jewelry establish
ment nuking most boautiful goods. Colo
rado gold and Wyoming agates are tho
cheap material used. This house of Jos-
lin A Park is a novelty ia the hills of Wy
oming. YourB, truly,
“Wbstwabd Ho."
