Miss Prescott is a genuine actress one of the kind who arc born, not made. It is almost impossible to do her justice without apparently indulging in extrava gance. Boston Post. The Grand Island base ball team put in an appearance this morning in full force. They make a fine appearance. As closa a gimc as has yet been played this season is expected. Full particulars Monday. Numerous state papers arc now run ning that thrilling sciial, " Delinquent Tax List." It is thoroughly enjoyed by editors, but the character? of the story do not approve its publicationvery heartily. Lincoln Journal. The Missouri riyer opposite ho city is the lowest it has been for many years. The sandbars can bscn seen extending almost to the Iowa shore. The water mark on the railroad bridge is lower than it has ever been since the bridge was built. Miss Prescott's exacting series of impersonations during the week have once more attested that there is no shade of feeling which she is not capable of expressing, and with a delicacy, firmness and certainty of touch that are absolutely marvelous. Chicago Times, May 27, 1883. Why doesn't Gov. Thayer challenge Mr. McShane to select a few of his con stituents and play a game of base ball to decide the question at issue ? The t on test would not give so much scope for mental effort as a debate, bat the w inner would be triumphantly elected, dead sure. The Journal has it on good auth ority that as a pitcher Mr. McShane has no control of the ball, while at the bat lie is decidedly weak. Lincoln Journal. No one can now pass Fifth street without meutioning the fact of the vast improvement which is being made by filling up the ditches immediately south of Main street. The bluff at the other aide will be graded down and the street continued. In the completion of the work, Fifth street will make one of the plcasantest and most convenient streets in the city, and Cholera creek which took an underground course down the street and emptied into the ditch has been filled in. A dine museum freak show has been opened up today opposite the opera house. The following is a description of the freak on exhibition: "It was born in Cleveland, Ohio, of Russian parents, the 14th day of last April. It lias horns sprouting out from the top of the fore head; bread heavy over-lapiug ridges of flesh about the eyes; clama lips from which protrude long curved tushes; instead of hands it has most hor horrible claws; split hoofs instead of feet and a tail about two feet in length." " Doc " the tooth extractor who makes many a man squirm, when he gets him by the tooth, met with rather a seri ous misfortune yesterday, the cost of which will include many teeth. As hi. good old father Saul, whose name is en rolled on the pages of the bibie, de diso beyed the law and wandered aw .y from the city. He, in company with a friend, wandered away to the wild woods i search of the feathered tribe. No leve lations have been made as to how suc cessful they were in gratifying their de sires, but how they succeeded in reaching home again the same day " is w hat seems to puzzle our minds." After un hitching their nag and tying it to the rear of their buggy, at the edge of the wood, they continued their journey in pursuit of game. After several hours' travel through the brush, and when fhey were well fatigued. Ihey returned to their starting point to find their vehicle some what demolished. They found ike horde a short distance from the buggy content' edly grazing, awaiting thtir notions, while the buggy stood in a kind of a doubled-ap condition. The shafts had been drawn back under the buggy in rr citeriou wsy, and one of the r- r - " - r- k on Leap Year Again. ' Through compulsion we are reminded of leap year once again before its termin ation. We arc nearing the end, "and many (wo will not say who) are realiz ing the fact. The opening of this great year wa3 extensively celebrated by those whose privilege it was to do so. For about two months those various styles of celebrations continued, until for some reason, unknown to us, all work was suddenly suspended. The young men remembered that for them to start would bo entirely out of order, but the young ladies dropped their duties, as it were, and took a back scat, leaving an open field which could not be intruded on by the young men, and which they them selves had abandoned. It has remained so for several months until a few weeks ago when the monot ony was broken by the appearance of the great emblem, a marriage and it will be remembered that each week since has contained a reminder that the court is still in session, and that this great yenr in four cannot end without being recog nized with respect, as some are afraid that if it does not receive the due respect, it will not return again to t hem. We are glad to see so many thoughtful after all, and we are glad to kuow that many are yet determined to take advantage of the oue chance in four. We know of several who are already on the precipice, but they arc afraid to take the drop. If they were aware of the favorable locations some of the young men have made for them to drop into, they would readily take a tumble to themselves. The numerous marriages of late, con vince us that there are more soon to fol low. May the young ladies prosper. Previous to removal to Carruth's building November 1st, and in order to reduce our Stock we will sell everything in our line at a low figure.

Resolved, That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to the family of the deceased in their great bereavement. Resolved, That a copy of these resolu tions bo transmitted to the family of the deceased, and to the papers of Platts mouth for publication. F. Herrmann, Ed. Stamm, Com. II. Weckbach.

The Young 3Ien's Christian associa tion will hold their last meeting at the Ptesbyteriau church at 4 p. m. tomorrow, expecting to be in their new rooms by the following Sunday, at which time Mr. Jao. Hazelton, of Omaha, who is one of the state secretaries, will address the meeting. These meetings are growing in interest, and we learn everything will be done to make the "rooms" the first place in the city for our young men to spend their cveuings. Just as fast as possible the rooms will be put in shape for them. Silk Campaign Ilandkci chiefs for 35 cents, worth 75c at S. & C. Mayer's. R. D.

Marie Prescott and McLean in "Virglnus." o A most superb presentation of the pa thetic story of the Roman father who preferred his daughter's death by his own hand to her dishonor, was given last night by R. D. McLean and Miss Marie Prescott. We will not see a better per formmce than it was all winter. The ability of the leading people is of the very highest order. Miss Prescott's Vir ginia is an ideal production and there are many who will not yield to McCullough's superiority, over McLean as Virginius. He has adopted an entirely different, quiet, and in modern belief, more ef fective, form of expression than that of McCullough, which trilled by its colossal strmght, but did not so greatly move by what it left unsaid. McLean has a wond erful faciei expression, an admirable con trol of his eyes, and he possesses, more over, the rare power of changing color under excitement. Marie Prescott is a superbly beautily woman in every partic ular. Her voice has exceptional natural sweetness which wins its way irresistibly with the audience. Terre Haute, Ind., Gazette, September 14, 1838. The above play will appear at the opera house next Thursday night in Vir ginius. Tickets go on sale Monday morning. Joe, the One Price Clothier, had the grandest opening last night ever seen in Plattsmouth. A St. Louts Syndicate. Hannibal, Mo., Oot. 5. It is reported hereon seemiugly good authority that a syndicate of St. Louis capitalists are mak ing flu effort to secure the St. Louis and Hannibal railroad, better known as the Short Line, with the intention of extend ing it to St. Louis from Gilmore, where it takes the wabush, and also northwest from here to Omaha. St. Louis Globe Democrat. Why not secure this line of railroad through our city ? The right of way over the Missouri river can be secured much cheaper at this point than at any other. Dont go to Omaha when you want to get your beautiful parlor and bed room sets but go to Henry Boeck's fur niture emporium where you can get every thing in the furniture line that will go to make your home beautiful and comfort able; and above all you can get it cheap. Remember that he who sells most can sell cheapest. Young Ladies Republican Club. The young ladies republican club will meet at the usual place this evening at 7:30 o'clock sharp. A full attendance is requested as preparations are to be made for the coining rally which occurs October 13. Every young lady can help wonderfully in this work, and we trust that those who have not already handed in their names will do so tonight. Mr. Frank Foster who was attacked by typhoid fever some time ago, is now convalescent and able to walk around the streets. Mr. II. N.

About fifty delegates took their de parture for Louisville to attend the coun ty convention being held there today. A hard fight is expected.

The Ladies ot tlio Alcona Tribe Hrlag Tlieir Husband to Terms. Mr. Pauli, who lived for some timo in tho Cameroon region. West Africa, tells of a highly successful woman's rights movement a while ago in the Akona tribe. Illustrating the fact that when women unanimously assert them in savage lands. as well as elsewhere, they are a great power iu tho community. In that be nighted res-ion women are not supposed to have any rights. When a girl is 13 or 14 years old she is sold to anybody who has property enough to pay the price her father asks for lier, and thereafter &no works like a slave for her board and lodging and is subject to all the caprices of her lord and master. Even the bonds men iu tho community have moro priv ileges than the free women, and some of them In time are ablo to support ratner extensive harems of their own. It happened that thero were some strong minded women among tho Akona people. and they lifted up their voices in public places in favor of some radical social re forms that would make tho lot of woman kind rather moro endurable. They were jeered at, as women reformers have been in some other lauds, and were advised by t ho superior sex to keep on digging in the holds and pounuintr manioc root and thank fortune that their lot was not les3 tolerable. Reform was evidently not to he secured by any amount of feminine protest, and so these strong minded women nut their loner heads together and decided upon radical aud far reachuig measures. Tho tribe is a small one. Nearly all the adult females iu it enlisted under the ban ner of women's rights. One day there was an enormous commotion in that little community. It was almost wholly eon fined to the male population, tho fact being that thero was hardly a woman there to share the excitement. The mothers and wives, in a most unexpected and heartless manner, had suddenly dropped their implements of drudgery, and with their children in arms and marriageable daughters had hied them through tho forests to the territory of anotner tribe, where, at a distance of eight or ten miles from their own garden patches, they were prepared to open negotiations with the lordly chapel luey Had lett ueiimu uiem. Thcv knew beforehand that they would meet with a hospitable reception in the tribe with which they took refuge, it happened that this tribe was larger thati the Akona, and did not iiko mem very well, and it tickled them half to death to soo tho pickle in which the Akona men suddenly found themselves. The women set themselves to work earning their daily bread, and waited without a bit of impatienco tor an emrassy rrom nome. n was not long before the embassy put in an appearance. The Akona tribe was of the opinion that they could not continue in business without the fenialo memter3 tnereor, anu t'aoy wanted tho women to come home. Tho particularly strong minded spokes man of the refugees said she was glad to learn at last that the women of their tribe were regarded as a desirable ele ment of the Akona people. As the women had taken care of all the men, it, was evi dent they were able to take caro of them selves, and they hadn't the slightest in tention of going home except on certain important conditions, which she specified. Then the embassy went home to consult the chief men, who, as their harems were the largest, were the greatest sufferers by tho flight of the fair sex. The women stipulated that they would como back if a considerable part of the agricultural duties of the community were in tuture turned over to tne slaves, if the mothers were permitted to have something to say about tne disposal or t heir daughters, and if several other con ditions were complied with. It did not take longjfor the gentlemen of Akona to decide what to do. A day or twe later the women went back in high feather, having achieved a complete victory, and they have been treated very well ever since. JNow lork faun. A Little Barren Kingdom. The little kingdom of Greece embraces a territory of about 25,000 square miles, and has fc population of a little more than 2,000,000 (Jreeks and Albanians. Scotland has about the same territory and almost twice as many people. Switzerland has a third less territory and a third more people. Belgium and Holland takeu to gether ha 'e about the same territory as Greece and five times as many people. As for wealth, Greece is proverbially the poorest country in Europe. Her rugged mountains and ban-en shores are hardly fit in many places for the scantiest vege tation; she has no rivers with fertile banks: her commerce is still undeveloped, and she is cut off from Europe by the treacherous Adriatic and by tho Inhospit able strip of Turkish territory that prom ises to keep her for an indefinite future from opening her railway connection with the north. In Greeco today it is the universal cus tom to speak of "going to Europo"just Americans do with the stormy Atlantic between r.ow lork and .Liverpool. Add to all this tho fact that this little barren kingdom of 2,000,000 souls has a public debt of . 80,000,000, and supports an army as largo as that of the Lmted States. The taxes are so high that the island of Crete, now under 'lurlush rule, would nearly double its ratio of taxation should it enter the kingdom of Greece. But In spite of all tins discouragement Athens to day is a busy hivo of educational institu tions, and in all the country villages inere are thrifty schools, a compulsory law being carried out with more vigor year after year. Ten years ago the statistics for illiteracy in "Greece were ahead of those of Italy today, and these tea years have revolutionized educational allure in Greece. "n. W. II." in New York Poat. Tho Very Vtetal Cent. Pennies, so long despised in tne south and west, are now demanded by those sec tions so eagerly that the Philadelphia mint, the only one manufacturing minor coins, cannot keep up witn tne demand.. Three million pennies were made at tho mint last month, but if double that num ber had been produced it is probable they could at once have been placed in circulation- With the influx of common, vulgar copper pennies in the extravagant west and the aristocratic south, there is a drop in the general prices, particularly of small articles. Uhis, while benenting tne buy ers, will also do good, to merchants try in creasing consumption to a very decided extent. Pennies are very good things, particularly if ono has enough of them. and their widespread introduction all over the United States, though, rather late in coming, now seems ass urea. .Trade Reporter.
