T IS TO UK regretted very much tlmt
our streets wcro in such liorrlblo condl
Hon during tho visit of tlio state drug
gists this week. Not content with this
the heavens seemed to shod their tears to
mnko even that liorrlblo state of things
won. However, I feel confident that our
friendly visitors appreciate tho circumstances
and know that when n city's streets nro
torn up preparatory to paving, thoy cannot
make n very udtnirablo nppenrance. How
over, ladies and gentlemen, when you visit
us again, we will mako amends for tho pant
by driving you in our finest vehicles over
Lincoln's paved thoroughfares.
Many of our renders have doubtless been
shocked at tho cruclul point of u theatrical
porfonimuce by the fainting of soma one in tho
audience; but if wo nro to behove the follow
ing from Fred Nye's fountain, this is merely a
trick, of tho trado. Tlmt it has Wen succcssf ul
in Inducing patronage goes without saying,
but hereafter wo can regard such scenes with
the stolidness that betokens tho blast Man,
Miss Faunlo Bliss, a member of Hobort Man.
tell's, "Monbars" compnny, is lying ill at tho
Duiker hotel with malaria. Bheisn woman
perhaps 40 years of ago and not unprciosess
ing. Her part In tho play was to got n con
tplcuotis seat among tho audience and faint
hysterically away when Monbars burnod tho
red grcoHo oft his arm in tho dog scono. She
inform us that kho fainted eighteen times
during tho Chicago engagement, and was
dragged out every time. She says she has
done fnr more to render "Monbars" popular
and to ndvertlso it than any other nicinWr of
the company, and sbo fears tho lady who has
been selected as her substitute will not play
tho part up to its possibilities. Miss Illiss lias
a cousin who does a similar fainting net for
Mansfield in tho play of "Dr. Jekylt and Mr.
Hyde".
I am pleased to announce tho arrival of
our esteemed friond, Mr. Jacob Mahler, who
arrived Wednesday accompanied by his cstl
mablo lady and llttlo daughter, Rosalind, and
nro now quartered at tho Windsor hotel.
Mr. Mahler has Kt'ii welcomed back by his
legion of friends, and I might say that tho
warm welcome tendered him by everyone was
not ono that welcomes n business or profes
sional man, but tho hearty welcome that is
accorded a friend, for of such Mr. Mahler
has legions in Lincoln. From the prospect
it appeals now that his success this season
will even exceed that "of last year, und of
course this is an encouraging outlook. Many
former scholars that tho professor had thought
would not attend the fourth year havo np
plied nmong the first. I am pleased to note
this, unit Iiojkj Mr. Mahler will- nJoy his
limited season's sojourn In Lincoln as he has
heretofore. As for the Observer and the
CouniKii, their best wishes are hereby ex
tended. Mr. Mahler hays there will HsItlvely
le only this term.
Spcuklngof the Alma wreck yesterday Mr.
A. S. ltuymuud, of Raymond Brothers, in
formed the Observer that a letter had been
received from one of their men on the road
conveying tho nous that whilo near tho scene
of the recent wreck at Alum, on tho II. & MM
ho (toe traveling man) learned that nine of
the victims had died, including those found
in the stream, and expressed much surprise at
not seeing the news in the dally jiapers.
These, together with tho death of Charley
Eaton yesterday, mako ten deaths caused by
tho disaster. It does seem strange that nearly
all news regarding tlieso deaths have not
been chronicled in the entorprislng (f) dolly
papers, but money is a great power these days
with the press, and pcrha.s if less of it wero
used with such papers as our morning sheet,
Its readers would get more news and hear
more about wrecks and other railroad news
on tho Ilurlington than Is now suppressed ; hut
us it is generally known that the Journal is
owned (In a sense) by tho 11. & M.,lts readers
havo ceased to look for facts in tho case of
railroad accidents, etc. It is also quite puz
zling to know just why tho Kttcninii Democrat
has changed its mission in regurd to tho rail,
roads. Baverol months ago it was giving the
railroads fits, but siucelfchortly before tho In
ceptlonof tho strike It has turned completely
and In yesterday's edition It oven went so far
us to assert that I'rovldence, and not the H. &
M. was to blame for the Alma accident. Per
haps tho Democrat' polo was long enough to
knock the crsmmon, hence the change In
tune. Hut is this so nbout the fatal results of
tho wreck ( Why is there nothing done in
tho matter i Or is everything running
smoothly i
League Meeting,
Tho meeting of the Irish National league
Sunday wns it very spirited one, tho princi
pal toplo Itelng tho consideration ot the ro
script of Popo I.i which has caused a great
commotion all over the world. Hon. I'.
O'Cassidy, as orator of tho day. made n very
eloquent address touching ukjii tho genealogy
of tho Irish race, Its arts of war and iioaee,
paying his resiiects also to tho present gov
eminent of the Emerald Isle.
A letter was read from Hon. John Fitzger
ald, ut tho time absent In Chicago, expressing
his views an tho papal pronunelumonto.
A series of resolutions referring to tlds
subject wos then Introduced by Mr. Button,
from which wo take tho following excerpt, as
indicative of the fooling of tho league in this
matter:
lie fid vol, That us the league Is composed of
men of all creeds, it In not within Its prov
ince to discuss religious iiuestlons, hut as
Irishmen, devoted to the ciiusoof Irish free
dom wo deny the lightol'uny authority what
soever outside of the duly elected representa
tives of tho Irish people to Interfere with the
political movements of tho Irish nation, and
we especially deprecate tho Interference of
the Hoinuii court In tho political contest now
being carried on ly the people of Ireland

Tho reiolutions wero unanimously adopted

Heavy demand for safety wheels nro repor

An effort will o nmdo to organlro a Cycle
Club lu Lincoln, and as them ara now nUmt
fifty riders In tho city, it would mmmi that
qulto a strontf organization might Iks nmdo.
Much rain makoth tho cycling record seeker
sad. For the iast few days wo havo had rain
and rain, and then some moro rain, but with
all bicycling may still be seen and every

Mr. Addis, Lincoln agent for the Columbias
has n complctolluo of snmplo machines of that
mnko nt 81.11 O street, among them is tho
Velos Columbia, thoj rear driving snfoty that
is nt present creating such a sensation In
wheeling centers. Any ono thinking of buy
ing n wins? 1 would do well to see tho Columbia
boforo placing their order.
Our Washington correspondent writes about
tho ladles as follows: The Ladle Cycle Club
admitted eight now members nt their last
meeting, and have several applications. Their
limit will soon lie ronched. Tills club is com
tsxsiof sotno of tho Ust eople In tho city.
They aro enthusiastic and will rido for the
benefit and pleasure which the sport afford
ed. They have organized their club to tho
purpose of encounigcing Indies to rldo; nnd
desire to nvoid everything which approaches
thoconsplcious; for Instance, one of their
rules provides that they will not rldo In lino
or nppear in pirado of any kind. Tho ladies
will with few exceptions, rldo tho now Indies
bicycle, which is manufactured hero. This
machine is a great invention, nnd Is an un
doubted success lu every respect. I hnd my
doubts nbout it at first, but since I have
seen It used tioth on tho road and In tho
city by ladles who never oven rode tricycles
my suspicions havo Ih-oii removed and I do
not hesitate to pronounce it the most or
fect cyclo ever Invented for Indies use. They
nro becoming quite common here, as the
companys school. Machines nro lu constant
use upon the street.

ono's Isick nnd looking down tho
Strand, somo of tho most notnblo build-
I lugs nro in sight, built upon tho sites of
tho former buildings that havo been removed,
iwssosslng in themselves great hlitorlo Inter
est. Wo will note a fow of these.
On tho right is Charing Cross station nnd
tho (I rand Hotel forming tho entrance with
handsome gnto entrances to a court, from
which tho hotel Is entered. In tho centroof
the court stands n monamont ot elaborate
stone work a copy by the lato K. M. Harry,
II. A., of n cross originally erected t tho
memory ot (Juoen (liieanor m the centre or
tho ancient vlllnge of Charing.
Wo found tho hotel very convonlont as"
as nearly nil tho railroads from London con
nect with this station. Only one square east
is Craven street, nearly every house In which
offers private lodgings nt moderate prices,
for strnugers In London. Nenrly opposite our
lodgings nt No. 7 Craven street, lived lu 1771,
Dr. Ilenjamiu Franklin, while representing
lu England the Interest of the American col
onists. Iu front of tho Golden Cross Hotel In tho
Strand, once a well known hostelry and placo
of deiinrturo for mall conches, Mr. Pickwick
is doscritiexl as having lieeu assailed by tho
hackney-coachman, nnd to have lieou thcre
tion taken under the protection of Mr. Jin
gle. Northumbrian'! Hon-, the last of tho
many old palaces of the nobility, which once
graced tho Strand, hnd been tho residence ot
the ancestors ot tho Dukes of Northumber
land for two centuries nnd n half; its well
known Strand front, surmounted by n lion,
tho crest of tho Percys, dated from nlout
WiOtj. Thus, one by one, the old palaces of
the nobility nrc giving place to tho demands
of traffic and the advanced civillzntion of tho
age, nnd gradually nil these privileged classes
must disappear boforo the growth of liberal
principles, wherein personal merit and the
right of man will ulono bo regarded.
WosHnt an howr in Lowther Arcade,
Strand, strolling through its twenty-live
shops for toys, and making n few .purchases
for our juvenile friends in America, It Is
named after Ixird Lowther, a former chief
commissioner of woods nnd forests, whoso
residence was here. Nearly opjioslte, on tho
south side, was tho residence of the Dukes of
llucklugham, originally formed u part of
York house, win :h afterwards liccamw tho
homo of Lord llacon, Peter tho Oreat lodged
nt No. 15 llucklugham street, Strand. Hero
also onco lived Ueorgu Villiors, Duke of Duck-,
Ingham,
Who lu the course of one revolving moon,
Was chemist, llddler, statesman an hullooii.
Turning down Adams street from 'tho
Strand we find -ourselves upon n haudsoiuo
terrace overlooking the embankment and the
Thames.
David (Inrrlck died at No. ft, Adolphi Ter
race, where Foote remembered him in early
life, attempting to earn his living, "with
three quarts of vinegar in tho .cellar, calling
himself a wine merchant," Tho grandfather
of (larriek was a Huguenot reiugeo named
(hirrique, who fled to England from Iior
deuux in lf&V
. This wns also the site of Durham house, the
scene of the marriage of Uidy Jane drey, and
of her arrest and removal to tho Tower. Dur
ham house in Henry VIII.'s reign became a
royal palace; but subsequently (jueou Eliza
beth gave it to various ersous who Impell
ed to be in royal favor. When Sir Walter
Kalelgh was a favorite visitor at tho court of
Elizalieth she licstowcd It iim)ii him.
Auliery describes ltalelgh's study to havo
ls-eu "on n little turret (In this old palace)
that looked Into and over thu Thames, and
had the prosiect which is as pleasant tier-
haps ns any lu the world and which not only
refreshes tho eyesight but cheers the spirit
and (to speuk my mind) I believe enlarges
an ingenious man's thoughts." It must havo
been an Ignorimi mid a brutal ago that could
consign a man of such brilliancy to a cell in
the tower, und after twelve long years of suf
fering to Ihi Iwhended to gratify tho revenge
of a court.
We went Into tho White Tower, at that an
cient fortress culled thu Tower of London
erected for William thu Conqueror by Gun
dolph, lllshop of Rochester, noted for his
great architectural skill. The smallest apart
ment on the llrst lloor, culled Queen Eliza
beth's Armory, has a doorway connecting
with a cell, 10 leet by 8, butimllghtod except
from the door. Sir Walter Kalelgh was con
lined in these rooms for twelve years for con
spiracy in favor of Mary Arnliella Stuart,
and beguiled tho time as well us he could by
exeriments in chemistry and writing his
celebrated "History of tho World."
Returning to the Strand and taking an
omnibus, an intelligent driver will olnt out
many notable edifices.
You are now on tho way to the Hank of
England, the Mansion House' tho Royal Ex
change, Exeter Hull, a square from the Ly
ceum theatre, and only a few squares further
to thu left Is the Royal Italian Oiiera, Con
vent Garden,
Wo must not puss by Convent Garden
without u word. It was formerly a monas
tery with extensive grounds, but was confis
cated und devoted to other puriKises. It has
been the scene of many notable Incidents lu
English history. It once embraced the entire
syacu from St. Martln's-iii-the-Kields to Long
Acre. In HUM Inlgo Jones built for tho then
Eurl of Bedford tho church of St. Paul's,
I Convent (iardeii, which, excepting tho pros-
J cut portico, was totally burned in 1713. Thu

Before leaving tlio Thames embankment
we must not omit to mmk of the Egyptian '
oliclUk, which Is tho most conspicuous objocL
It Is seventy fist high and eight feet wide nt
tho iwiso, weighs '.'(K) tons nnd Is formed (if
granite. It was presented by Mahomed All
to tho British government, but for years lay
unclaimed In tho sand at Alexandria, nlong
with a similar monolith sinco removed to thn
Unltwl Btntei nt tho exiH'iiso of Mr. W. II,
Vnudcrbilt, nnd erected In Central nrk,Nuw
York. This obelisk Is n twin to tho one In
London. Such obelisks wcro usually placed
In pairs outsldo of Egyptian temples. The
cost nnd dllllciilty ot removal to England
wore surmounted lu 1878, the former by thu
munificence of tho Into Sir Erasmus Wilson,
who gave (Myxx) for tho punxmo, tho Intter
by theskill ot Mr. Dixon, C. K.
This huge block of granite, nfter being lift
ed nnd placed In tho cylinder Iwtrgo In which
it was to bo llontcd to England, hail a most
tempestuous voynge. The steamer which
towed tho obelisk escnKsl destruction only
by cutting it adrift lu tko Hay of Biscay, nnd
for days nothing was to bo heard of it. At
length n (sisslng vessol picked up tho strnngo
looking object, n veritable iiion(nim, hor

Wo aro not nwaro that tho Inscription on
this olielisk havo been deciphered, hut tho
scenes on tho IiOndon slinft aro well under

Rn and Atiim, the two principal deities of
HoIlopoHs, the city of tho sun. Tho inscrip
