Mr. J. L. Mereness, the teacher of the

their progress had been in the past six
months, dialogues, ar! declamations,

JIILLEH.
Our social and genial County Clerk
went up to see Nast, last week, and
- Nast told him that if he tried next
morning he could draw those pictures
just as well as anybody.' It inspired
lsui., and so the next day as he looked
at the clear, ltoautiful expanse of
whitewashed wall on the off side of
the county office he thought that would
be a good place to experiment on
Nast had told him he could do it and
having implicit confidence in the word
of the great artist he seized a piece of
charcoal and went to work. lie first
tried his hand on Butler; he got the
feet and the aMominal regions all
right, but whenever he tried to put a
.head in between the shirt collar it
looked just like Mlckelwait, and he
couldn't get it no other way. He
chalked it out and charcoaled it in
again, but "Whit" would come back
:.gain, till Pan. was about to give it up
and' think Nast lied. Just then Mr.
Not long since, in the spacious bil
liard hall of the Grand Central, we
had the satisfaction of shaking hands
with the handsome, portly and two
eyed editor of the Omaha Herald, we
.shook very cordially, but how he could
shake hands with a wall-eyed S
(well we spare the Doctor and the types
ami won't print the word) who fiddles
for Bob Furnas. Dan Wheeler and Co.,
is a mystery. Still fiddling is one of
the fine arts, and Nast may have im
pressed the Doctor with a love of high
art. Ole Bull drew crowded houses by
playing on one string, and Miller, him
self, can draw crowds of curses, and
disgust more than a house full of sub
scribers by playing on his one string.
We had not our fiddle along that
night, but the thought struck us that
perhaps we had mistaken our vocation
and as a fiddler might have risen to
fame and eminence and we fancied a
scene that might have taken place had
w seriously taken to fiddling for a liv
ing. Imagine the Doctor and ourselves
under the lofty ceilings and polished
chandeliers of the Grand Central Sa
loon; before us moves a motley host,
the "scratching" and "kissing" and rat
tle of the billiard balls is interspersed
with the thud, thud of a disappointed
player's cue as he rams it down
on the floor and viciously wastes an
ounce of chalk and a volley of soft
shell oaths on the the "infernal, cue
by which he lias just missed one of the
"finest shots." (?)
The Doctor, in perfect physical
health, with a ruddy glow in his cheeks,
a curious smile on his face, and two
good eyes in his head, stands firmly
braced against the polished black wal
nut bar, with an elbow spread lovingly
on either side. Behind him the chink
and the click of glasses and spoons
keeps time to the music as Harry sets
up one beautiful drink after another
for his guests. Straight whiskey for
Democrats, Cock-tails and mixed drinks
for Liberals and "People's Move" men,
and "Kelly Island" for weak-kneed and
and tender footed Republicans. Lin

address. His lecture is just a quiet
statement of the difficulties and sur
roundings of caricature and the artist
who attempted that role in this coun
try. Every now and then he appar
ently came to a dead-wall in his speech
and the proper words slipped from his
memory, when, with tho most comical
little grin of the mouth, and a very
laughable, half Fienchy shrug of the
shoulders, he says: "Well, I'll draw it
for you." That settles it; in less than
five minutes you see before you on an
easel, the mind's picture he wants you
to understand, and his art in making
that picture realistic, and yet char
act('ue)ristic is most womlevriVh liis
pictures are drawn orr sheets of large
white or tinted paper, stretched on a
frame, and supported likfe an easel, on
the stage. When the audience have
sufficiently admired one drawing, or he
has illustrated it to his satisfaction, an
attendant rapidly runs a knife around
the borders of the frame, underneath
the first sheet, and strips it off, throw
ing it to the rear of the stage, and so
on for each successive picture; there
is no rubbing out, or changing of
boards, as many suppose. Different
colored crayons, mixed with bruins,
form the drawing and coloring materi
als, and the lecture is worth almost
any amount of trouble and expense to
see and hear. To a person with any
artistic leaning at all, it gives an
idea of the possibilities of "high lights"
ami "finishing touches" that would
never le fully comprehended other
wise than by seeing sticks, and stones,
and earth, and trees, and legs, and
arms, and boots, and gaiters, sprout
and bud, and blossom, and grow, into
trees, and houses-, and iimlscapes and
human beings.
No illustration by proverbs can ever
make the step between the sublime and
the ridiculous appear so short, as one
caricature of "Fulton on the Hudson,"
or "Do Soto discovering the Missis
sippi," from the hand of the Master.

THE NAST EXCURSION.
As jolly and good looking a crowd
as ever left riattsmouth, went up to
the Xast Entertainment last Thursday.
The Omaha Republican has uncle such
a splendid hit in giving the names of
the party that we shall not venture to
improve on their narrative by repeat
ing them; suffice it to say that, when
the cars left the depot, the best part of
the yotfth. beauty, wit, brains and wis
dom, of riattsmouth was on the road
to Omaha. 11 ug hat were in the as
cendency, and the car looked like an
"Opera" night. Mirth, fun, and frolic
abounded, as we had one Conductor,
six ex-railroad men and two Superin
tendents on board sorrrewhere, anyaecr

buttons, ami such like interferences
with a full burst of human happiness.

The recent depression in business
has not affected the passenger traffic of
the St. Louis, Kansas City & Northern
Short Line, as they continue to run six
fast express trains, two more than any
vther line between the Missouri and
Mississippi Kivers. This road enjoys
great immunity from accidents, by
reason of immense expenditures, in the
last two years, of over two million dol
lars, besides earnings in wonderful im
provements, in relaying their line with
new steel and iron rails, on broad, new
ties, in new rolling stock supplied with
all modern appliances for comfort and
safet)", and as another safeguard, em
ploy night and day watchmen to in
spect the road before and after the
passage of each train, to see that every
thing is in order. Conspicuous among
nev; improvements is the substitution
for ordinary cars, of new reclining
chair coaches, elegantly carpeted and
fitted with dressing rooms for ladies,
gentlemen and families, without any
extra charge. The St. Louis, Kansas
City & Northern and the Kansas City,
St. Joseph & Council llluffs llailroad,
form the only line running through
Pullman Palace Sleepers between
Omaha and St. Louis. The shortest
line between the West and the East is
over the St. Louis, Kansas City &
Northern Short Line, either through
St. Louis, the great metropolis of over
4o0,000 inhabitants, or through Chica
go, via the Chicago & Alton Short
Line, over the Louisiana liridge now
open for passage of through trains.
Ticket Agents of connecting roads sel
ling through tickets to- the East, North
or South, will furnish tickets by this
excellent line. For map, circulars,
