rr.ATTAJiouTii'is Fourth of July cele
brations have heretofore gone pretty
much by default. An energetic, lively
rousing dispensation of enthnMusm on
that day would do the Staii City good.
Syracuse, this state, still claims recog
nition as a part of the wooly west. The
reported sight of a bear iu the woods
near there has roused the populace till
the blood of '48 pulsates through their
veins.
The destruction of Seattle, the great
eenport of the Puget Sound country, by
fire, has dissolved at least $7,000,OCO
worth of property into ashes. The
deatioyer, flood, fire or 6torm, stems to
lay wait and set upon a city when it feels
safest and farthrest from a calamity
which has befallen another city.
The impovemests, both public and
private, which Plattsmouth is now taking
upon her, bring out the public spinted
ness which must be manifested in any
city that has a hope for the future, and
every new enterprise is hailed with a wel
come that immediately gives confidence
Our city is now moving onward to a
hustliDg, rustling tune that thrills all
within her limits with a desire to "do
something for their county,' and the
end is not yet.
The Sioux Indian reservation will
doubtless soon be thrown open to settle
ment for the white people. Fur years
the question has been agitated and this
spring the government has prepared pa
pers and made its offer to the Indians
for possession. The government com
mission to meet the Iudians and make
term, spent all of last week at the res
ervation with Gen. Crook, and Friday
and Saturday many of the Indians signed
the papers ceding their right to the res
ervation to the government, and the sale
will soon be completed.
The generosity of the American peo
ple towards their fellows in distress at
Johnstown and in the Conemaugh Val
ley is gran l to observe, and the sub
scriptions received from foreign coun
tries awakens a spirit of friendship and
common regard for people of all nations
that nothing else can do. New York
City, and cities and towns contributing
through her have thus far made the lar
gest contribution, which they are fully
able to do by reason of wealth and num
bers. At the close of last week the sul
scriptions and cash contributions made
through the mayor of New York City
amounted to over $000,000 .
According to the election returns Cass
coutity will no longer have to stand the
chagrin that she has borne for so niaay
years because of the accommodations af
forded her officers, courts and records.
For any firm or corporation to merit the
confidence of people or capital it must
needs have a sure backing. If tlte found
ers of an organization for business put
no confidence in it, or capital, then they
cannot expect it to grow and prosper a?
such. Ca3s county's people have all con
fidence in her present stability, and all
hope in her future prosperity, but what
is there to show for it? Private affairs
cannot prosper unless public goes along
with it. Cuss county has nobl j redeem
ed herself now, but the movement has
long been needed aod the time it at hand
when it is imperatire, and it is done.
It is a matter much to be rejoiced over
throughout the county that enough peo
ple hare realized the comity's need and
voted to have it supplied, and every
true spirited citizen ouht to lay aside
all prejudice and abide by the voice of
the; ballot. The whole county cannot
help, when the court house is built, but
take a righteous pride in the fact that
the subject is out of the way and no
longer stands a reproach to the people.
And again, when a man is elected for
sheriff he can feel sure he is an ofliccr be
cause he is in oflice, and the plaintiffs
will realize they are be tore the bar of
justice that is itable enough to have a
homo. All are to bo congratulated, and
Cum has before her a future that can be
entered into with fear and doubtings
supplanted by confidence and surety.
ARMY SA11BAT1I OBSERVANCE.
About two years ago a few earnest
army chaplains, seconded by some reli
gions bodies, began an agitation haying
for its object the abolition of Sunday in
spections and drills in the srfny. Num
erous petitions were filed and represent
ations made in other ways to the presi
dent, which were all referred to the war
department. Conflicting views upon the
subject were held by officers, but at last
the president has settled the matter, as is
shown by the following general official
order, the first made by General Kelton
siicc he assumed the oflice of Adjustant
General of the army:
War Department, Awitast Gen
eral's Office, Washington', June 7, '89
The following order of the president
is published for the information and
guidance of the army:
Executive Mansion. June 7, 189.
In November, 1852, President Lincoln
quoted the words of Washington to sus
tain his own yiews and announced in a
I, general order that, "The president, cora-
mander-iu-chicf of the army and navy,
desires and enjoins the orderly observance
of the Sabbath, by the officers and men
in the military and naval service. The
impoitance to man and beast of the pre
scribed weekly rest, the sacred rights of
Christian soldiers and sailors, a becoming
deference to the best sentiment of a
Christian people, and a due regard for
tha tliyjne will, demand that Sunday
labor in tlte army aad pavy be reduced
to the measure of strict necessity."
The truth so ' concisely stated cannot
be too faithfully regarded, and the pres
sure to igaore it is far less now than in
the midst of the war. To recall the- kind
ly and considerate spirit of the orders
issued by these great men in the most
trying times of our history, and to pro
mote contentment and efficiency, the
president directs that Sunday morning
inspection will be merely of the dress
and general appearance without arms,
and the more complete inspection under
arms, with all men present, as required
in Par. 950, A. It, 1880, will take place
on Sunday.

A Traveling Man Creates Creat Ex

Independence, Iowa, Oct. 14, 1S8S.
Rheumatic Syrup Co., Jackson, Mich:
Gents: Your Mr. Brooks came here
tonight and registered as agent for Hib
bard's Rheumatic Syrup, and as ho did
so it awakened in me an interest never
before realized in a guest at my iiouse.
You will not wonder at it when J tell
you the story. For years I have been
greatly afflicted with inflammatory rheu
matism, the pain and soreness of the
joints at timc3 being almost unbearable;
could move about onlv with the aid of
crutches. In addition to this tiyttomach
became badly diseased, and neuralgia set
in, which threatened to end my d:iy. A
traveling man stopping with me gave
quite a history of your Syrup, and the
peculiarities of its combination, which
induced mo to try it. I have taken six
bottles and no act in my life affords me
greater satisfaction than in writing you
I am a' well man.
It will be a pleasure for me to answer
any communications, for I believe it .to
be the best remedy ever formulated.

A CURE FOR SUICIDE.
A Claim That Self Instruction la Txttt
of a Illgher Civilization.
An increase of suicide hi not neces
sarily a proof that the world is growing
more unhappy. On yio contrary, it may
mean that the general state of society is
improving- Men and women do not kill
themselves because their material condi
tion is unbearable, but because some
mental stato loads them to prefer the
elecp of death, no matter "what dreams
may come," to the perplexity and moral
tension of existence. Tlte most misera
ble of people, speaking materially, are
the least given to suicide as, for in
stance, the Irish, the Spaniards and the
Italians. Suicide is vastly more prevalent
among the better nourished and better
educated Germans than among either of
the nations wo have named; the thrifty
and intelligent Danes and Saxons are
most given to suicide of all the peoples
of Europe, while squalid and benighted
Spain has the lowest suicide percentage.
If we compare the epochs of the world,
we find that in Rome, in the days of the
glory of the republic and the empire,
suicide was much more prevalent than it
was in the darkness of the middle ages.
Suicide i3 a malady of cultivation a
characteristic, it may bo said, of an ad
vanced and even prosperous state of so
ciety. In the United States, where, In
the five years between 1882 and 18S7,
8,220 persons took their own lives, only
270 of these deaths were attributable to
destitution. It is to "end the heartache,"
and not to escape un!oarable material
conditions, that people take their Ijves;
and this heartache or world weariness
is quite ns distinctly traceable to tho in
creased Koritfitiveness of organization on
the part of a cultivated generation aB is
the delight in progress. In society, in art,
in music and in literature, that in also
characteristic of this epoch of th world.
The prevalence of suicide is in many
ways lamentable; but there is no reason
why tha world should alarm itself undu
ly alout it, or, treating it aa jf it were
due to some preventable cause, like an
epidemic of diphtheria, should call out:
"What is to bo done?" Nothing ia to be
done, at least by society as a whole. Sui
cide is an inevitable ailment of a time,
which, on tho whole, Is tho best time
that tho world has ever had.
But though society can do nothing to
restrain suicide, the individual being eu
preme in at least thi3 respect, something
may bo done, and effectively, too, by the
individual who finds the urging to self
destruction strong within hirn. If no
consideration of the hereafter gives, such
a one pause, it is in his power to put
himself in health harmony with nature,
if he will, by obeying the philosophical
injunction to "look outward and not in;"
to. admit to his life the light of nature
first comprehending that nature is not
a thing exterior to him, but that it is
himself and ho is nature and not for
ever shut himself within the darkness of
a partial and selfish view of life; and,
examining in thi3 light lus condition, to
determine whether the lethargy and de-spair-which
impel him to suicide are not
of his own making, and whether the
natural gifts of hope and health are not
still within recovery. Boston Tran
script. Valuable SI S3, at tlie YsMcuo.
There are said to bo in the library of
the Vatican 23,580 MSS., a large iwrtion
of which are Greek and Oriental. The
famous MS. of the Greek MiJ. the
"Ccrdex Vntieanus, lias hiiiu-iio been
so jealously guarded that even professed
-xlmlars have not been allowed really to
examine it. It is now, hov, i-rer. more
accessible. Lokcd at merely as a piece
of writing, the M3. is singularly fino;
the letteia are clear, distinct and well
formed, and there is plenty of space le
twiH'ii the lines, go that tho reading of it
becomes, with a little practice, by no
means difficult.
Anotjior treasure, also to bo found in
the same caso, is the palimpsest cop-,
discovered by Cardinal Mai. of Cicero's
"Do Rcpubiica." The most interesting
fragment is the complete success with
which the ancient underlyingwritiiigluis
been recovered. Itia hardly iosf-:ible to
believe that the clear, well defined letters
before you have been covered up by other
writing for perhaps a thousand years.
Another treasury of valuable MSS. is that
on Mount Athos. The total number of
MSS. in tho twenty librarie3 on this
mountain is 5,579. Professor Lambros
is cataloguing them, and expects to find
among them many things of unique " in
terest to the biblical student New York

Lnck in Shoes.
It is supposed to be unlucky to put
either shoe on the wrong foot, nor must
one put the left shoo on before the right,
unless one wished to bring about some
direful calamity. Augustu3 Cassar, it is
said, put on bis left shoe first, and before
nightfall he narrowly escaped assassina
tion. Dr. Brewer says that plucking off
the shoe among the Jews, smoking the
pipe among the Indians, thumb licking
among Scotch, breaking the 6traw to
gether among the Teutone and shaking
hands among the English are all cere
monies to confirm a bargain. The Jew
ish custom of plucking off the shoe or
sandal is frequently referred to in the
Scriptures. In the story of Ruth it is re
corded that a compact which Boaz made
was sealed by a shoe being drawn ofiu
One of the verses reads: "Now, this was
the manner in former time in Israel con
cerning redeeming and concerning
changing, for to confirm all things a man
plucked off his shoe and gave it to lus
neighbor; and this was a testimony iu
IsraaL" Providence Telegram.
Poison Ui Eels.
It appears from a communication made
to the Regit Lincei at Home that eels
and murensa possess a poison similar to
that of vipers. In them it is not found
in the mouth, and they have no organ fur
inoculatuag their enemies with it. So it
is usually without any effect upon man,
because in tho eel eaten by him as food
the poison is destroyed hy the heat ci
cooking, and also because, as is tho case
with the venom of the viper, it has no ef
fect upon the digestive ways. New Or
