Mil. Blaise lias again written a letter
in which he positively declares he will
not lc a candidate for president, so the
field is left clear for Gresham.
The proposition to give to Lieiitennnt
General Sheridan the title of General,
which Grant and Sherman aloncj in our
history have borne, comes late, but there
is yet hope that it miy not be too late.
The bono.' will be fittingly bestowed on
the gillunt commander, who to all ap
pearances is nearing his end.
DiitouATioN Day hiis come again, with
its patriotic memories and its beautiful
ceremonies. Twenty-three years have
not lessened in the slightest the sentiment
of love aud veneration in which these
ceremonies are founded; and when the
years have rolled into centuries that sen
timent will still exist in undiminished
vigor. Decoration Day is one of the
celebrations that the American people
will not willingly let die.
The-Omaha World is still kicking at
the republican party because it is not En
glibh enough you know, and whining for
fear public sentiment is against the Mills
bill. The Omaha World, as a Mugwump
Journal, ought to confine itself exclusi ve
to "Mr. Sampson of Omaha." As a
Mugwump political contrivauce, the
World is entirely to much of a dough
face and as a Democratic Journal it is en
tirely toa much of a Mugwump eunuch
"Mr. Oinnha Sampson" is about heavy
enough for the young man that falls at
the WorhFs nursing battle.
The Ikisii show no signs of retreating
before the dictates or threats of Home. A
meeting has just been held at Limerick
to which special attention had been di
rected by Bishop O'Dwycr's warning.
The answer to the bishop was fierce de
nunciation by Mr. William O'Brien and
angry groans from the assembled crowd.
The meetings at Waterford and Kildare,
where Messrs. Dillon and Ifcaly spoke,
were equally emphatic in depricating
interference from the church authorities
in Irish affairs that have no relation with
church or religion. Those who attended
the Limerick meeting are guilty of delib
erate disobedience of their spiritual
superior, and the penalty to ba yisited
upon them is a matter of general interest
The Kuirhts of Labor of Colerado are
about to start an experiment in co-oper
ation at Glenwood Springs, which, if
successful, is destined to hare a great in
fluence on the order. Several hundred
acres have been secured on Grand river
which are to be turned into farming land.
Canning works and kindred establish
ments are to be erected which will intro
duce a new industry into Colorado. The
colonists who have undertaken the work
are enthusiastic and bespeak for the en
terprise the support of not alone the
knights but the people of the state. Co
operation in the United States has not
been a success. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that the Knights of Labor have a
plan which will prove eminently bene
ficial. Bee.
Oxe of the best evidences of Platts
mouth's prosperity appears in the con
struction of so large a number of resi
dences du'ing the spring season just end
ing, and that too, in the face of the strike,
continuous bad weather, and the unparal
lelled course of the Journal in prejudic
ing the city's interests, by misrepresenting
the effects of the strike and public opin
ion. Not less than forty houses, includ
ing important additions, by actual count,
. have been, and are now, in process of
construction, which is a much larger
amount of building than was done dur
ing the same season last year. The build
ing "boom" of 1837 was not under good
headway until the month of July. Still
one hundred and twenty houses were
constructed durinng the year, which rep
resented an increase in population of at
least six hundred souls. Plattsmouth has
had a steady growth for four years jwst
and 1888 will be no exception. It is true the
strike has caused some of the more timed
to delay in building, and some few who
have leen immediately affected, have
given up the idea altogether, but now
that the strike is practically ended, there
seems to be a revival of interest in im
provements and The Herald finds that
the carpenters are again figuring on a
large number of buildings yet to be con
structed this season. The railroad shops
are working their fullest capacity and
giving employment to as many men, if
not more than ever. The Herald pi e
licts that Plattsmouth tfill yet have the
most prosperous year in its existence. - ,
How cheap the average democratic
dough-face editor must feel upon read
ing Mr. Blaine's second Blainy letter yes
terday. Every coward among them
who has been measuring Mr. Blaine's corn
in Mr. Cleveland's half bushel, swearing
that Mr. Blaine's first letter was a trick
and dishonest statement made on purpose
to mislead the public us to his intentions.
has been knocked clear out of the ring.
Mr. Blaine has not made a statement to
the public since he has been in political
life that he has not backed up. Now
let us hear from our democratic whiners
who have been prejudging Mr. Blaine
and his intentions. What have you to
say for the great fat fraud who has been
unblushingly and unlawfully using the
entire federal power to secure a renomi
nntion ? What about his letter of false
pretensions, wherein he informed the Am
erican people four years ago that he would
not be a candidate; for a second term T
Don't all 6peak at once ! What do you
think of Groyer's honesty and manliness
as compared to Mr. Blaine's straight-out
from the-shoulder letters ?
An Explanation. .
What is this "nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted? If
you will rememlier a few years ago the
word Malaria was comparatively un
known, today it is as common as any
word in the English language, yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times
past. So it is used with nervous diseases,
as they and Malaria are intended to cover
what our grandfathers called Biliousness,
and all are caused by troubles that arise
froai a diseased condition of the Liver
which in performing its functions finding
it cannot dispose of the bile through tne
ordinary channel is compelled to pass it
off through the svstcm causing nervous
troubles, Malaria, Bilious Fever, etc.
You who are suffering can well appreci
ate a cure. We recommend Green's Au
gust Flower. Its cures are marvelous.
A ItccruUiog Offlccr' Opinion.
"There is no nation on earth so generous
to its soldiers," says UapL V. D. Garret3,
"as is tho United States of America, Every
soldier id furnished with all the clothing ha
requires in any emergency and the goods of
which those clothes are inadd nro of the besS
quality. A heavy California blanket, sheets,
pillow, mattress and steel spring bedstead are
allotted to each one, and if he cannot sleep
well with such an outfit, it is his own fault.
Then again the rations arc always good and
plentiful We have men come in here who
have served in the armies of Europe, and
they are utterly amazed by the many com
forts they find. The pay, too, is far, above
the pay received by European soldiers. It is
true that 13 a month sounds small, but you
6ee that $13 is all clear gain and no soldier
need spend a cent of tho snni unless he wants
to. There are many men in the service who
save up their salaries, and at the end of five
years find that they have a pretty snug sum
by them. There are ignorant men coming
into tbe service. These receive immense
benefits. At every post there is a night
school, with competent teachers, which they
attend, and each post has its library. Men
who go into the army knowing neither how
to read nor write are able to do both and to
figure in the bargain before their terms of
service expire." Pioneer Press.

Advice to young Authors.
The first serious attempt of tho novice
should be what is called a one volume story.
That is to say, a story which may be told in
about sixty thousand words, and may bo di
vided into about fifteen or twenty chapters
the latter for choice, because the division
into short rather than long chapters is a
sovereign specific for the common tendency
to sprawl, and instructs, moreover, in the
arrangement of tho incidents. It also makes
it necessary to find those incidents. Our
student, if she cannot invent incidents, had
better retire at once.
The comparative brevity of a one volume
story compels to clearness, what the Freneh
call "nettete," not only in style, but also in
tbe brain. Thus a three volume novel may
have a second, mere or les3 connected with
tho leading plot, but a short story must not.
There must be a single group and no more
engaged upon one continuous sequence of
events, all gradually leading up to the final
tableau. Tho attention must not be diverted
by tho introduction of any character or any
incident not wanted for the story. Each
chapter must sensibly advance tho story;
there must bo no digressions. Walter Besant
in Loudon Atalanta.
Words for tho Picture.
It is amusing to see children of 3 or 4 years,
who sometimes take a book or a paper and
"jabber" away for half an hour at a time,
pretending to read tbe most amazing state
ments and romances, when they do not know
one letter from another.
Harper's Young People tells of a little girl
who wa3 precocious in this direction. One
day she was asked to explain a picture repre
senting a lady and gentleman waltzing.
The infantile seer gazed intently upon it
for a few seconds, and then exclaimed, with
a theatrical air:
"She thrushed into the room and fell
asleep. lie clung her to bis arm. Not a teat
was shed! They are now married. " Youth's

Marriage by Capture
Among sarago tribes wmo very strung
rules of etiquette appear to govern the
matrimonial relationship. Convention
prevents a Yoruba wife- from either speak
ing to; or even seeing, her husband if it
can be avoided, and tho rude Aleurian
islanders have the same regulation about
speaking. In parts of the Fiji islands a
husband and wife, if they wish to meet,
must meet In secret ; a similar secrecy is
or whs obligatory among the Circassians,
and even anions tho Ilottentots. But the
African kingdom of Futa bears off the
palm in these respects, if an old traveler
is to bo credited, who assures us that
wives there were so bashful as never to
let their husbands see them without a
veil for three years after marriage. The
same sort of feeling is manifest in other
curious customs.
Aiftone: the Esquimaux, even in cases
where the course of true love ran its
smoothest and accorded fully with pa
rental settlements, certain old women
had to be sent to drag the bride forcibly
to her husband's hut, she being obliged
under tho penalty of an ill name to
"make as if it went against the grain.
and as if she were much ruffled at it."
A Kamschadal girl (and tho people of
Kamschatka are among the rudest of tho
earth), however well disposed she may
be to her future spouses makes it a point
of honor to pretend to refuse him, and
the form of force on Ins sido and of re
sistance on hers has in any case to bo
recrularly performed. And the wild
tribe, the IIos of India, regard it as tho
correct tiling for a wife to run away
from her husband and to tell her friends
that she neither loves him nor will ever
see him again, while he in his turn is ex
pected to display great anxiety for his
loss, and when he has found his wife
after ddigent search to carry her homo
again by main force. Gentleman's Mag
azine.
The Thunderbolt a Myth.
Mr. O. J. Symons, F. R. S., has en
deavored to track tho so called thunder
bolts wherever he could bear of them,
but they have vanished before the man
of science like ghosts before the daylight.
His inquiries showed that there was no
transmission of a thunderbolt, or of any
other solid body, when an electric spark
rushed through the air, than there i3 in
the transmission of a material substance
when a message is telegraphed across, or
rather under, the Atlantic ocean. Some
times a lightning flash appears to 6trike
the ground and a spherical nodule of iron
pyrites is found near the spot. It was
there before. Still the ignorant imagine
it came from the clouds and with the
lightning. Belemnites, whicli are really
fossil animals, are found similarly, and
in Webster's dictionary are described as
"thunder stones, and as such are often
preserved.
Occasionally a heavy discharge of
lightning falls on a bed of sand, pene
trates it for several feet and melts the
silex in its path, fusing it into a kind cf
glass, which is known as fulgurite some
fine specimens of which are to bo found
in the British museum. This, and this
only, could have any pretense to bo con
sidered a thunderbolt, but then it docs
not descend from the clouds, and i3
caused 6olely by the intense heat of tho
lightning, Mr. Symons did not deny
that solid bodies do at times come down
from the sky and strike the earth, but
these are meteorites and aerolites sub
stances ejected from volcanoes or falling
upon the earth from planetary space.

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes and wind
storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
liaving occurred at JIt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders tbeir oc
