The columns devoted to minute ac
counts of prize fights, which appear al
most daily ia our leading journals, are
certainly most delectable reading. They
have such a refining effect. It must be a
matter of joy to those who violate the

these practices, to see the oreat dailies
devoting so much space to their lawless
nets. Crete Qlobe.

The fiftieth Almanac published by
the New York Tribuue, namely, the one
for 1888, comes to us with the appropri
ate title of the "Semi-Centennial Issue."
Newspapers and almanacs grow younger
and fresher as they advance in years.
The Tribune Almanac for 188S is fresh,
popular, pithy, adapted to the times, and
crammed with the political statistics to
which every one will turn for reference
in the presidential year. The popular
vote for president in 1884 is given in de
tail with the total vote in each election
back to 1828. The party platforms, the
important enactments of the last Con
gress, a complete lists of the members of
Congress and principal ofiiccrs of the
government, statistics of trade and pen
sions, and a variety of other valuable
features characterize the book. This Al
manac is accurate and the standard pub
lication of its class. Being non-partizan
it is used by men of all parties,
price is 25 cents.

The Origin of Leap Year.
A correspondent of the New York
"World thus writes as to the origin of
leap year :
"The custom obsorved every fourth
year of permitting the fairer sex to as
sume the rights and prerogatives apper
taining to their brothers during the re.
maining three is a very ancient one.
When it originated is not definitely
known, but a law enacted by the parlia
ment of Scotland in the year 1288 is
doubtless the first statutory recognition
of the custom. The law was as follows:
'It is statat and ordaint that during the
reine of Her Maist Blissit Magcstie, ilk
fourth year, known as leap year, ilk
maiden layde of baith high and low es
tait shall hao liberty to bespeak ye man
she likes, albeit, gif he refuses to tak hir
to be his wife, he shdl be mulcted in ye
summe of ane dundis or less, as his es
tait moit be, except and awis gif he can
mak it appear that he is betrothit to ane
ither woman, that he then shall be free'
"Who can say, in the face of such tes
timony, that the rights of woman havo
ever been disregarded?" Globe.
About a dozen citizens met by chanco
last evening and fell to talking about
the prospects and outlook for spring im
migration. One word brought on an
other, and before the meeting broke up
the outlines of a plan for forwarding the
interests of Beatrice were formed and
unanimously agreed upon. At the meet
iag of the board of trade tomorrow
night the plan will be further discussed,
and a public meeting of all citizens
called for a later date in the week. Pass
onger agents of several lines will be
present, and there is every evidence that
a movement will be inaugurated that
will give Beatrice a full share of the
benefits that will accrue from the incom
ing tide of people. The object will be
to reach the excursions from the East
that the railroads will soon inaugurate,
and which will be the means of bringing
many thousands of people into Nebraska.
Beatrice Exprees.
Let the citizens of Plattsmouth be up
and doing. There ia no reason, what
ever, why we should not have our full
share of the western immigration. Let
there be steps taken at once by all citi
zens who are interested in the progress
of our city.
Arresting Saloon Keepers.
Mindhn, Ia., Jan. 31. The saloon war
here has broken out anew. An Oakland
constable, with a deputy from Shelby,
stepped off the west-bound express train
thi3 morning and began a quiet recon
soisance. They visited the different
places where the "ardent" is supposed to
bs dealt out, and armed with warrants
proceeded to gather in two of the pro
prietors and took them to Oakland,
where preliminary proceedings will be
commenced against them.
A Night Off
The comedy company entitled "A

the opera house last night, tho audience
that greeted them being a very small one.
It is very likely due to the fact, that they

THE HARDEST LOT.
To look upon the face of a dead friend
Is bard, but lis not more than we can bear
If, baply, we can see peace written there
Peace after pain, and welcome so the end,
Whte'er tbe past, whatever death may send.
Yea, and that face a gracious smile may
wear,
U love till death was perfect, sweet and
fair;
But there Is woo from which may Ood de
fend: To look upon our friendship lying dead.
While we live on, and eat, and drink, and
sleep
Mere bodies from which all the soul has
fled
And that dead thing year after year to keep
Locked in cold silence in its dreamless bed
There must be hell while there is such a
deep.

A SIotlier-ln-Law'a First Visit to the
liome of Her Newly Acquired Son.
"No," said old Mrs. Dragon, who had just
arrived for her first visit at the home of her
newly acquired son-in-law, Chauncy Breene.
"No, I dont believe in mothers-in-law inter
fering In the affairs of their married children.
I've always said that I never would, and I
why, Hattie Breene, you ain't using best sil
verware every day, I hope."
"Yes, mamma; Chauncy likes it."
"Oh, be does; well, it makes an awful sight
of work scouring it, and you know you ain't
extra strong. But, as I was saying, I don't
believe In Hattie, I hopo you don't txy to
keep that baby dressed in white all tho time !"
"Yea, mamma, dear; Chauncy diblikos col'
on on a baby."
"Oh, well, I suppose the child must wear
white, then; bat it must make your wash
bills awful heavy. However, as I was say
ing Chauncy, if I was you I'd speak to the
butcher about leaving so much fat on the
Bteak."
"Chaunoy likes it that way, mamma."
"Oh, does hof Well, he'd better learn not
to like it; It's unhealthy. You oughtn't to
put sugar in tomatoes, Hattie; they'io health
ier without."
"But mamma, Chauncy"
"Oh, if ho likes them so, of course it's no
affair of mine. But I won't eat them that
way. Seems to me I smell tobacco smoke."
"I guess it's Chauncy's cigar smoke, mam
ma." "He doesn't smoke in the house?'
"Why, yes, he he does mamma."
"Mercy on us! I wonder the baby lives
through it. But, of course, it's hi3 own
house and Chauncy, don't you think Hattie
looks thin and pale? 1 noticed soon as I saw
her. Hattie, you make your coffee entirely
too strong."
"Chauncy likes it so, and"
"That's just what makes his color so bad
and yon know very well that you oughtn't to
touch it. Chauncy. that baby mustn't wear
spring heels yet. I'll change these boots you
brought home this evening. And you and
Hattie make a mistake in feeding tho child
as yon do. I'll see to its diet hereafter; and
I think I must speak to your provision man
about the meat and potatoes. And, I think,
Hattie, that your servant needs a little look
ing after. And, Chauncy, I'm afraid you
burn too much gas, and I'm sure the furnace
wastes coaL If I can find a good carpenter
around here I'd like to change some of these
doors. I don't believe in meddling mothers-in-law,
but it's a real help sometimes to have
a little advice, isn't it children f Zenas Dane

London's Unemployed.
Where is the panacea to be found that
Bhall set matters right? Busy men require
remedies that effect their purpose rapidly,
that they may bo spared the distraction of
prolonged worry. The sense of justice re
volts at the sight of thousands of hungry
men and women, capable of labor, demand
ing work or bread in vain. Is there useful
work at hand? Are the means of intercom
munication so perfect roads, streets, rivers,
canals that there is no need of extensions
and repairs? Would judiciously bestowed
labor not further enhance the capitalized
value of fields and dwellings in town and
country! Are there no longer any slums to
be demolished, nor dwellings for artisans to
be built?
Possibly in London there are libraries and
museums enough, but how about cheap baths
and wash houses, which for a penny fee tho
poor might use? It ia unfair to reproach
them as "the unwashed," when modern
urban life denies them the advantage of
baths. Again, there is the extension of the
sewage system to be undertaken, and the
reclamation and drainage of the Thames
marshes and flats, which should help to les
sen or banish our fogs. If the money were
forthcoming immediate profitable employ
ment could bo found for 100,000 men. Min
isters of the crown find no difficulty in get
ting, at a few hours' notice, $10,000,000 for
war purposes; why longer delay in procuring
means to promote peace, and rescue from
want thousands of deserving men and
women? Gas society afford to let even tbs
wastrels ana "incapable" perish in tna
streets? Contemporary Review.
An Aetor Who Needed Casters.
Those who know W. H. MacDonald know
that he is one of the most graceful actors on
tho operatic stage. He possesses unusual
histrionic talent. But ho was not always
thus. When "Mac" first went on the stage
he used to make tho statues painted in tho
scenery weep. But he thought ho was im
mensely clever, until ono day his brother
came to see him.
"Well, Sam, what did you think of my
performance!" asked Mr. MacDonald.
"You sang splendidly."
"What did you think of my acting? I was
just a trifle stiff, wasn't IP
"Well, I think they could have moved you
about a good deal easier, and you would
have made a better appearance if you had
been on casters V
That ia what made MacDonald study.

The Dyspeptic's Ideal.
A medical man mentions that, like his
father and paternal grandfather, ho has al
ways had the power of voluntarily
ejecting food or fluid from the stom
ach at any time. When troubled
with acidity or nausea, the stomach is emp
tied at will without the slightest difficulty,
and may be washed out with several glasses
of water. At college this faculty was used
for gain, large doses of narcotic poisons being
swallowed for wagers, and afterwards im
mediately expelled. An investigation is sug
gested to determine the cause of this gift, or
what voluntary muscles account for it. Ar
