"GOOD morning Mr. Brown , you'n
first at last ; you used to be behind be
fore , but I notice you have been getting
early of late. "
HUMORS of railroads continue tr
thicken. If the signs of the times arc
not misleading , the year 188G will wit
ness a larger construction in Nebraska
than any previous year.
A SOFTLY sentimental poem by Sec
retary Lamar is going the rounds of the
press. It is entitled , "Sweet Daughtei
of Mendoza. " It is good , though hardly
what we would have thought to receive
from a man so well qualified to write
The Song of a Bulldoza. "Topics.
MAHONE'S son fires a pistol at a po
lice officer , Mahone himself assaults two
young men on the street , Wise hits a
fellow traveller in the eye and Lot
Wright punches poor old General Dur-
bin Ward's mouth. These gentlemen
are all afraid that political intimidation
is going to be the death'of their belov
ed countrv.
THE exploration of the Yukon , the
great river of Alaska , reveals that a very
fine stream has been wasted by putting
it in a country where it is of little use
except for drainage purposes. But in
these days there are people who believe
that is about all rivers .are fit for any
way , unless it might be the basis upon
which to distribute large sums of gov
ernment funds for improvements that
seldom improve.
THE President has received an ele
gant framed photograph of Prince Bis
marck. It was a present from Prince
Bismarck himself and bore his personal
autograph. It will be hung in the Pres
ident's chamber. It represents the
Prince in his military uniform. It is
probable that the President will return
the'compliment and send back one of
his photographs similarly framed.
MONTREAL is suffering with the small
pox and a mob at the same time. Ac
cording to our telegraphic dispatches re
ceived from that plague stricken city
the inhabitants are wild with uncontrol-
able excitement. They have made a
perfect wreck of the health office , and
as though the druggists had formed a
league of destruction , they have smash
ed their windows and made havoc with
their wares.
THE Panama canalisadvertised to
open a section to the water from the
Caribbean sea , as an experiment on the
one hand and as an advertisement on the
other. Theamount estimated for its
total cost , so it is claimed by the ene
mies of the schemCjhas almost been ex
pended in the construction of the cheap
est and easiest quarter of its length.
The managers are going forward , how
ever , with apparent confidence of final
success.
PEOPLE in Texas have apparently
3een getting a great deal of credit for
aeing bold and bad to which they were
not entitled. Yesterday six stalwart
Texans , armed cap-a-pie , sat in the Ab-
lene stage with chattering teeth , quak-
ng knees and hands uplifted as if in
supplication to heaven while a youth of
if teen summers calmly relieved them of
their valuables and rifled the mail sacks.
Had they been New York dudes it is
probable the precocious lad would have

IF an electric rod , why not a thunder
rod ? This happy thought suggested
; tself to a philosophical farmer , who
said to the lightning rod agent , "Stran
ger , keep off the thunder. Thunder par
alyzes me. " "Well , " admitted the
ngent , "I think , myself , that thunder
is the more dangerous of the two. What
you want is thunder rods. ' " "Have you
: ot thunder rods ? " "Oh , yes ; the
jrass tipped ore for lightning and the
nickle tipped for thunder ; but the lat
ter cost a little more. " "Put up a few
of the thunder rods , " said the farmer ,
"I don't mind , paying a little extra as
ong as I feel safe. "
A SWEDE has invented a machine
: hat sells things , mainly cigars. You
put your money into a dox and press a
button. If the money is all right a lit
tle door flies open and reveals the arti
cle you want. It is intended for the
sale of cigars in public places , but it
won't be in this country three weeks be
fore some ingenious Yankee will intro !
duce an improvement into Kansas that
will sell whiskey. The thirsty man will
find it a great boon , and it will be the
saloon keeper's best friend , as it will
never trust. It must have money before
the spring will work that sets out the
goods. Journal.
THE reason why Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is a favorite with so many people Ls
because it can always be depended upon. It's
prompt and effectual cures of coughs , colds ,
croup and "whooping cough , have made it
standard and those who have used it prefer
it to any other. Sold by M. A. Spaldiuij and
A. J. Willey.
