Mrs. Nasse, probata clerk in the county judge's oflice, has been poing through tho old records getting them properly indexed and more methodi cally arranged. Several funny mis takes have boon noted, one of which was of peculiar interest to Chris Wohl fartti, who found that he had obtained license- to wed not his wife but a younger sister. In other words ho had no right to tnarry his own wife, and, so far as tho record is concerned, he had not married her. Chris failed to see where tho fun tamo in, and ho hustlod around until ho irot tho error corrected by tho judge that issued the license thirteen years ago. and the minister who tied tho marital knot. A Slight Wtir Cloud. Governor George Trissler, a South Park saw and piano artist, got mixed up in wordy combat with Major Louck, a prominent citizen of the sarau locali ty.''

The Misses Hayes of Wabash spent a few pleasant days with friends here. Mrs. Carrie Tighe and her two boys of Bradsnaw are visitors with Mr. and Mrs. C. Schlater. Mr. and Mrs. John Tighe of Platts mouth spent Easter with Mr. and Mrs. Ed Murphy of Center precinct. A large crop of fruit of all kinds will be raised if no bad frosts make their annual visits late in the spring. Miss Minnie Guthmann of Lincoln spent Easter with friends at College Hill. She is always a welcome visitor here. Our old friend Dennis Doud and son and Mr. and Mrs. Muldoon and daugh ters of Greenwood attended services at the Catholic church here Sunday. We see the announcement of the death of Charles Wheeler at Glen wood, la. Mr. Wheeler in former vears was living on a farm near hero and was highly respected. We noticed tho happy and smiling faces of our Plattsinouth lady friends, the Misses Cagney, Clark, Neville and Tighe. They sang at the Easter ser vice at the Ce'iege Hill Catholic church. SCHOOLBOY KNOWLEDGE. fom of tlx? I'iiiiiiv IMii riders iiji.il. le. of Wlilch Ai- Tho roll of our roes is still : !n r has ro- increasing, )r a ccntly learned "Shakespeare Milton a Dutch ; fro. .i In r ptipils that lie-::iiu a French and a'lii.; .'-'.l. " Mussulmans, however, was n t, of course, "tho name piveu to French soliiicrs, " nor dues hut Irago mean hunger, though some times it is not remotely connected with thirst. There is something solemn in tho statement that " Docket his grave was made a pilgrim," and u false etymology possibly suggested that "guerrillas were men who saw to tho guillotine," and that Doomsday Book was so called "bo. can so it wis to last till the crack of doom." And, lastly, hero are tho two most recent contributions to goncral history: "Nelson lived in tho reign of Victoria and defeated tho French un der Blueher at Waterloo," and, again, "tho battle of Trafalgar was fought at Waterloo, when Napoleon commanded tho Prussians and Nelson was 6hot for going on deck." In-geography also tho answers are somewhat at variance with proooncoivod notions. It appears that 'Derby is noted for races, Sheffield for Sheffield ponies and Bolton fur its ah bey. " Honolulu is "a palace in the cap ital of Spain" and Helvellyn "a largo volcano in Scotland." A crater is straight iino which is very hot, " and tho chief foods of India are "tea, coffee, rice and raw silk." Possibly few people know what dikes are. It is this way: "When a country in below tho sea, dikes are big sticks to hold up the va- tor. " We are glad to know, on one au thority, that "tho Albert Nyanzu is so called becauso it was discovered by Prince Albert," but it suggests painful thoughts to bo informed that "Liviug- stono went on exploring till his boots were quito worn out." There is, how ever, a certain element of truth lu the fctatemont that "l -ama is noted for yellow mud, which sticits to tho fingers of thoso who make it. " Tho English language itself is a fer tile sourco of error. Such spellings as "bearheadod" are not uncommon. Tho masculine of goose is duck, and tho feminine of horse is cow. Tho plural of lady is gentleman, and the masculine of vixen is brute. Abstract nouns aro ".things you cannot see, .such as gas and thunder," or as one boy put it with a delicate vein of irony "a thing you cannot fee! namely, conscience. Providence Journal. The Origin of Point Lace. A little known example of inventive genius in woman is that afforded by Barbara Uttman of Saxony and her point lace so long inTashlohable use aTT over tho world. She invented tho proc ess and apparatus for manufacturing this beautiful handiwork, which has sineo Kivi n employment to millions of operators, and which, in its line, has never been excelled. Tho apparatus looks like a long pincushion bristling with pins arranged to outlino tho pat tern or design. Tho operator manages from 10 to 50 peculiar spools, allowing the thread to feed over the pins alter nately until the design is completed. Tho spools or bobbins aro purposely of different colors, so as to bo easily distin guishable. The process is slow and diffi cult to learn. Miss Uttman founded schools, where thousands learned it. Since her time, when inventive ability was rare, even among men, her ideas have been incorporated in tho construc tion of machinery by which tho laco is produced at wonderful lower rates, and yet Barbara Uttman 's lace still sur passes all. London Lady. Seamanship Vast ami Present. In the past seamanship was tho chief thing. In the present seamanship, in the old and strict senso of tho world, holds a very subsidiary place. When tho winds and tho was w and tho tides could not be forced anil had to be hu mored, the mystery of dealing with these elements was a worthy study for a whole life. But today we force the winds, tho waves and the tides, and humor them very littlo. Tho seaman is in process of becoming tho engineer. Every year ho becomes more and more the engineer, and I am certain that a much briefer experience of the sea than was formerly needed is now required to ward tho formation of the good officer. National Review. Louis Philippe and Soult. Louis Philippe knew that Marshal Soult clung to power, and that his fall would be bitter to him. But when the time came the future ministers, with Thiers at their head, were assembled at the Tuileries, while in the next room Louis Philippe broke the news to Soult Tho interview took a long time, and the new ministers were not without some apprehension. Finally the door was opened just enough to allow the king's queer pear shaped head to pass, and he whispered: "A little patieuco, gentle men. Just a littlo patience we are weeping together." San Francisco Ar gonaut. Looking? Forward. "Young man," said the female physi cian, "you aro bad way. I'll con tinue to call on yon.' Tho sufferer raised himself on his el bow, looked at her tenderly and said, "I've no objection, but I would advise you first to see papa. " Adams (Mass.) Freeman.

Alex Schlegel, draughtsman in.the office of Land Commissioner Rus sell, is turning out an elegant piece of work in the form of a map showing the right bank of the Missouri river bounding Nebraska on the north. This map is to be used by a commis sion, authorized by the legislature to act with a like commission from Dakota in ascertaining the true boundary line. The legislative act refe.s to only one county. Cedar county, but Mr. SchlegePs work shows that the river has sadly wandered alon the north of Dakota county, leaving alarge tract of Nebraska land north of the river. The sum of $1,500 has been appropriated and with that amount at its disposal the commission will be enabled to deal with all the crooks in the river. Both commissions must report two years hence to their re spective legislatures, and then in the course of time when congress ratiGes the agreement, the job wiil have been settled. No one knows where the Missouri river will be making its bed by that lime. At one point it now goes eight miles where it formerly travelled thirty three miles. State Journal. Ml ICICAV I 'IK MS.
