CITY CORDIALS.
The afternoon bible readings at the
Y. M. C A. rooms are held at :;:30.
The district court has been adjourn
ed until March 1 lth. 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.

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

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. Here, on the con-ti-cit
y. almost every man who has t ae
h clinical equipment to create larje
dj: :rativo work has been more or less
c.i ;--:,r;ed in . designing for or making
stained lass, ribner'.
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

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. Laman

Tremendous Comet In the Heavens
A terrible ball of fire has recently been
discovered in the Heavens, and is said to
be approaching the Earth at the rate of
one hundred anel seven million miles per
day. Astronomers are somewhat alarmed
us to the direction in which it is centered.
nnel tell us that if it does not change its
course, it will surely be the destruction
of the earth. It is estimated to be twelve
Mnus larger than the great planet Jupi-u-r.
which is the largest planet of the
Universe. Astronomers tell us it will
