day. It was a rousing meeting and a
good time was enjoyed by all.

to get out today, consequently everything
seems exceedingly dull aud quiet.

Lincoln won n garuo yesterday. It
was a beastly poor one. and the only le
gitimate use for such games is to fertilize.
Two games like that on an acre of ground
that wouldn't sprout beans and would
issue one hundred bushels on corn.

The bids on the sewer are being open
ed this afternoon by tho board of public
works. Several bids are in and will take
considerable time to look over them so
that vrn will not be able to give the name
of the successful bidder today, but will
give all the particulars tomorrow.
The county commissioners opened
the bids for the erection of a court house
for Lancaster county yesterday aud it
was found that W. II. B. Stout had the
lowest bid which was $116,476.42, be
ing $7,000 less than the architect's esti
mate of tho building. The contract has
not vet been awarded but it is supposed
that Stout will get it.
Gov. Thayer has written a letter to
the Nebraska delegation in congress in
forming them that the ranchmen and ir
rigators of Colorado are, during the dry
season of the year, using all the water of
tho Platte river, thus depriving the citi
zens of Nebraska, who have as much
right as they, from any benefit therefrom.
The Governor ask that proper steps be
taken tho rights of the citrzeus of Neb
braska respected and laws passed to en
force their rights.
It has come. We expected it. Care
ful readers of this paper will remember
that the J outwit predicted it. This re
fers to the man who indulges in a lot of
horrible blasphemy and is appropriately
punished. The gentleman who received
his reward this time lived at Sncc.i,Kas.,
and a few day ago ha did some atrocious
cursing. Scarcely was the last word out
of his mouth before he became violently
insane and rushed olt to tne woods, since
which time he has not been seen. It is
to be hoped that he will establish a colony
of fakes in some secluded spot, so that
none of them will be heard of again.
Lincoln Joutnnl. If some of there who
are continually using profane language on
our streets were punished in the above
way wo would be relieved of many of
the insults we hear every day.
The newspaper u, in a very impor
tant sense, a public institution, doing
very much for each individual, and for
the community as a whole, that receives
' neither reward nor acknowledgment. In
view of thL, it is certainly as little as any
man can do to give his patronage to the
local publisher, who is at the same time
nearly alwaya a job printer. Vet it
seems to be a growing custom for busi
ness men to send their work abroad.
This u probably largely owing to the
principle in human cature which ever
gives enchantment to distance, and makes
the prophet not without honor except in
his own country. The men who condemn
their fellow citizens for going abroad to
buy their dry goods and groceries seem
entirely oblivious to the fact that they
are committing the same offense when
ordering their commercial printing from
jonva distant city Nat. Editorial Journalist.
Words of Praiso-
Every day new subscribers aro coming
in all speaking words of praiso for The
Hkkald for its fuir and impartial way
of dealing with all questions and business
interests of the city. Although we are
aware that wo have incurred the enuiity
of Borne of our citizens, it makes our
heart glad to know that these words of
praise are coining from good, fair mind
ed, honorable men and while we do not
expect to run a paper to suit every one,
we are glad to have the approyal of
these, among tho best citizens of our
city. We are making a special effort to
greatly increase our circulation and are
offering good, substantial premiums for
subscriptions both to the Daily and
Weekly, as follows:
For thirty cash subscribers to tho Dai
ly Herald wo will give a first-class sew
ing machine and for thirty cash subscrib
ers to the Wkeki.y Uekald we will give
a good watch. All of these goods to
be bought of our dealers here in the city
and warranted by them to be genuine.
This is a good opportunity for thotte in
need of these articles to make an effort
to obtain them. It is a very easy matter
to get the subscribers and you cannot
get a watch or a sewing machine easier
than this. And we will further agree
that The Herald shall be kept up to its
present standard of excellence. Stand
ing always on the side of right and just
ice, allotting to all tho free right to their
opinions, oven though it may conflict
with ours, and aiming to serve all in a
fair and business like manner.

"This weather is not so bad for the
crops as some psople think," explains an
agricultural scien'ist who is connected
v.-'.th the Journal in a business way.
'The rain will mak the small grain hum,
tud it is knocking the chinch bugs high
er than a kite. It isn't so bad for the
corn, either. Farmers groul because their
seed does not sprout, aud say that it is
ill on account of (lie long wet spell. If
they would t ike care and select the right
kind of ttid tboy wouldn't have any
trouble. My experience has been that if
good, full, clean ears are selected as the
corn is being husked in the fall and
hung up in a dry place during tho win
ter, the coin will come up in spite of the
rain. The fellows that nro kicking
ibout the rotting of the seed don't fol
low this scheme. They wait until they
are ready to plant, and then go to the
corn crib and gather up a lot of staff
that has been exposed to the weather all
winter. Grow ? Of course it won't
grow. It can't." Lincoln Journal.
Why are special police necessary
iust no: f Why are Pinkerton men
here ? Why is this city pu.t to great ex
pense to preserve order i Simply be
cause a handful of men think they can
run the town. We did not need extra
police until since the stike then why
not get at the root of th evil and stop

Brighton has recently en joyed the presence
of a quack who, according to his own ac
count, has loft it 7,000 richer than when he
came, and who certainly has managed to
make a very considerable sum of money
from the credulous. The quack is understood
to Lave begun life in America. He pitched
bis show on a pieo of ground in the North
Road, Brighton, which is usually let for
shows. His charge for extracting a tooth
(without pain) was a shilling, and four shil
lings for seeing a patient: for this the patient
was rubbed behind a ru:j held up by two of
the lookers on, and supplied with a bottle of
medicine and a bottle of liniment. The lat
ter had a very strong smell, some say of tur
pentine, others of eucalyptus. The quack
explained that tho liniment was derived
from flowers of the prairie, which had been
dipped in a mysterious well ip, Mexico. The
practitioner has now departed, but ic docs
not say much for the common sense of Brigh
5Djj that he should have reaped so rich a har
vest there. "When he was not drawing teeth
or rubbing patients he iwa to drive about in

I GUATEMALA'S BIRD OF LIEERTY.
The Outzz:;I rietnreI o: Fostajia
Flumps, but Seldom Soon Alive.
"Vv"haS do you call those birds.'" asked a
visitor to the storo of a well known down
town taxidermist, pointing to a conpls of
feathered creatures, bound separately in
paper, with the tails and heads protruding,
and showing a gorgeous plumage. 'iln-y
were dried and ready for stuffing. Tho body
of each, including the head, was, perhaps,
five inches long, but, throwing the tail into
the measurement, either bird would have re
quired a four foot tape to connect tho point
of its beak with the tip of its longo!". tail
feather. One of the birds had two long
feathers in its tail, and the other had two
shorter oues, but nature, as if to compensate
r this disparity of plumage, had given the
bird, that would otherwise have been clear ly
nt a disadvantage, a third and middle feather
that was very lo:vj indeed. Crests adorned
tho heads, and white cotton had been stuffed
into tho eye cavities.
"This,'' said the dealer tenderly, taking
o;a of them up in his hand, "is the (rueswal,
or bird of liberty of Guatemala. It hi ir ha
found only in a small portion of the country,
and is now very rarely wen at all. A gentle
man who was recently in Central America
managed to secure this pair, and left tht;n
with mo to bo drt-jsed and mounted, tho
pjoplo down there beiag able only to dry aud
preserve them. Quezml is to Guatemala
what the eagle is to the United Stet s of
America its national bird. Its picture,
rather distorted, is (-tamped on many of
Guatemala's coins, and engraved on all tho
postage stamps of that country. Whether it
took its name front the ancient capital, or
the old metropolis was called after it, ia a
question not fully settled ; but ques&al is tho
title of both. The quetzal has, as you must
perceive, great personal advantages over the
eagle, even in its wild state, and we aro ail
familiar with the bedraggled appearance of
the caged eagle.
"Now, the quezzal is r.evcr caged longer
than a few hours. It is truly a bird cf
liberty, and it dies almost immediate!;.- v.-hen
captured. Its pride in its rear feathers is
evidently dearer than its love for life. When
one of then accidentally gats soiled or broken
the bird goes to ita nest, sits down and dies.
If it is caught in a trap it is always found
dead, and when the young birds are taken
frcm tho nest they die at oiica Occasionally
a quezzal has boon captured, aud in a ft-w
soeoivha restoi-ed to liberty, but the contami
nation of tho hand could not bo removed
with the grasp, and it dropped Lifeless to the
earth before it had flown many yards. They
are brought down for mercantile purposes,
when the opportunity presents itself, with
cry small shot fired at long range. Ths
quezzal builds a round roofed ne.-;t, like the
home of the wren, only instead of ouo hol-j
there aro two, directly opposite each other.
Thus the bird avoids tho tail breaking nec:
sity of turning nronud to make its exit-. H
goes in at ouo side and out at the other, au i
the long feathers, which wave .gently in thd
air, at resting time are slowly and cautiously
drawn after it.". . .. .
