Judge Chapman govs to Lincoln on the 4th of February to hold court. A Dutchman who attentively watch ed the masked dancers at the Bohemian ball last night was heard to remark: 'What mortals these fools be." Kendall's band played several very pleasing selections on the streets this morning. The Kendall company will show their "Pair of Kids" at the Water man opera house tonight. Action on the part of those working for a revival in this city is earnest, and much is being done to bring the meet ings to the minds of all. Dodgers and posters were put out today and large gatherings' of people ar hoped for each night. Quite a number were present at the Y. M. C. A. parlor yesterday afternoon, considering the condition of the elements, to hear the bible reading by State Secre tary Niah. The bible readings are ex ceedingly interesting and valuable to the Christian life, and all who can take the time will le highly profited. For today and the remainder of the week the meet ing will open at 3:30 in the afternoon. The landlord of the Kiddle House, who frequently is visited by an attorney from Omaha, made the proposition to his guest the other day that if would pay l on his 1SSS board bill, that he would gladly tear the big account from the ledger. The lawyer gladly respond ed by handing over the amount. The landlord was bo well pleased to receive the money that he ha framed it and hung it in the otlice for public inspec tion. A good number of men "sat down" on the sidewalk this morning and before they were invited to a seat. As many of them were dissatisfied with the location, and with a look that would leave an impression as noticeable the one they marked out by their forms uttered some smothered expressions which would leave the impression to those who should hear, that they were not in the best of humor. When a man sits down, he regains his feet as soon ns possible, examines himself to see if he is all there and in a suitable condition to pass and then starts out like lightning with a downcast look. It has been re marked a thousand times that when a lady falls down on the snow she will in variably get into the position she had before falling and then take a parting look at the spot where she struck the snow. Then with a sly glance to take in the situation and see if any person and especially a man is looking, starts oni again as though nothing had happened: but the red visage generally gives it away.

El Oliver. Col. Cuy V. Henry's Lecture. The following extracts from the Omaha will give the Plattsmouth people an idea of the lecture which Col. Guy V. Henry will deliver at Rockwood hall th"i3 cyeuing. "It was a very practical and interesting "lecture and Col. Guy V. Henry evident ly knew what he was talking about "a familiarity with the subject gained by "him after a personal experience of "neatly twenty years on the plains and "among the Indians of Wyoming, Utah, "Arizona, New Mexico and the Indian "Tenitory. He told of the Indian elance "particularly of the cruel Sun dance, "where incisions are made in the breast, "ropes passed through and ends tieel to "supports which the Indian has to keep "tense. Then conies a varied discription "of a winters march in the Black Hills "at forty degrees below zero maele in "1S75 by C 1. Henry ami his command "from Fort Robinson, all being badly "frozen and saved only by coming upon "a ranch occupied by a Kquaw Man." It will pay our people to come to Rockwood hall this evening. The en tertainment is not an ordinary one by anv means. riullet Plajtnc" Miners. Ti3 Scotch miner hr.s many ways of mousing himself. Quoits is a favorite ga-iseotf his; so i3 a game called "round ors" a sort of cricket -ond cricket itself is popular among tho younger men, but wLIithem football is tho favorite pas ting. Leaping, running, throwing the hammer and tossing the caber are all practiced, and in some parts a game eailed "bullet playing" is in high favor. V" liave never seen this played except in tho Lothians and Stmingshire, and there it was at one time crack amuse ment. Rather a peculiar amusement, too. It is played in this manner: A cer tain distance, say a mile out and a mile in, is fixed upon as the ground to be cov ered by tho players, and the man who dors so in the fewest number of throws is dec lared the winner. The bullet Is a polished ball of hard whinstone, and w ighs from ten to fourteen ounces, and thi ball tho player takes into his hand ai:-I nmning to a line drawn on the road way, he swings his arm and throws with alibis might. This is termed "hainch in;: tho bullet," and good player can co . er the mile in five or eix: throws. Tho game is one mainly of strength, but a go )d deal or 6kiU can be shown In It. Each player has a man in front to chow where the bullets should be landed, an 1 his business is to see that, if his di re: tions are followed, the bullet of Ids pl.:yer will have the best part of tho road to run on. The gamo is alwavs played on the best highway in the neigh lx: i hood, and the authorities object to it ar. being dangerous, although we never have heard of any accident arising there from. A bullet match is to the Scotch minor what a dog fight is to his North umbrian or Stafforelshiro congener, or a prize light to an East End Londoner. The fact that it is forbidden, by law adds to its attractiveness, and it affords ample op;xrtiinities for betting. Bets are made on the throw, on tho distance out and o:i the complete match, and when the two 'dons" are playing excitement runs hi xh, Scottish. World. Old Glass In Sen Windows. A ' the r.rt of making stained glass stands here today it lias kept a more distinctly nrtistic character than in the Old World. In Europe, with 4'r:v: rnmental patronage and with mu- ui-js ready to receive works of a Lor sizo which such" encouragement or: ..tes, it is an inferior class of r.r-tir-l. r.s a rule, who cngago in mak ing stained glass.

That Most Serious Problem. Too many young mothers, in their efl jrt to make their first child perfect, o to great extremes in noticing every lault and hiving too great stress upon gov ernment. This ia done before every c even the passing caller. I think it ... j tho tendency to harden a child, and th ? expostulation loses its effect. It is pre verbial that children always act then worst when there is company in f house. I had one child who seemed io take advantage every time any one called. I grew perfectly discouraged, and felt as if there was no remedy for it. He would slide down the banisters, go whooping through the house, slam doors and do the most unexpected things, till I was mortified beyond expression. I finally made it a point to take him by the liand, and ask my caller to ex cuse us a moment take him to another part of tho house, set him in a chair and say that I would send for him when he was wanted. lie would remain there quietly - waiting. When the caller was gone I would go and release liim. It seemed the only way to do. The more lie was punished and admonished before eople tne worse he became. So I tried dding his faults and praising him for the good he did. It had a much better effect, and is still as effective. To some children's natures it is even humiliating to bo reproved before other children. I do not think humiliation the proper way to reform. Self respect is a much better trait to develop. Let your child begin to feel early that you expect only the best tilings of it, and you will start it in a much better way. Do not 'dlow it to argue with you from the beg tilng, and never laugh at cute things it may do or say, and repeat them to your friends in the presence of the child. If it is a wide awake child it will do and say man things that will be intensely amusing, and, if you wish, keep a book and put them down for future enjoyment but never let the child know it. Philadel phia Call. Tho man with a perpetual motion ma chine has at last got a friend at court in the icrson of Chief Clerk Lipscomb, of the patent office. He says: "Perpetual motion is an assured fact Wo have models now at work that will keep at work continually until tho wear and tear of the machinery stops them. Tho machines so far have sufficient power to run themselves from now till dooms day, but they have not the surplus power that could be used on other machinery. This is the point now that the perpetual motion man will havo to work on. Some day a machine vill come here that will have the required power to keep other machinery going, and it may come at any time." WTashington Cor. New York Herald. Poets' Wives. Wordsworth had n. mrx;t- fmrroniM a-nA loving wife, who was a "phantom of de ligh" to him. Thomas Haynes Bayly had a wife who bestowed complete happiness upon the poet, and to whom he 'wrote a sonnet on her birthday every year. Barry Cornwall had a most con genial wife. It was said of him that he was willing to shut out the whole world, if he could have her beside (him.
