Editor Calhoun , of the sprightly
H Lincoln Democrat , is calling loudly for
B , an extra session of the Nebraska legisI
B Iature to "regulate railroads. " He says :
B 1 * "Iowa talked of an extra session of the
B ] legislature for the sole purpose of legist
B j 1 lating to regulate railroads. The roads
B ' j voluntarily reduced local rates 25 to 40
B | per cent. The rates in Nebraska are
B more than double the rates in Iowa. A
B , ! real session of the legislature might cut
B j them in half and not do the roads any
B I injustice. Let the governor call it.
B j An extra session , by all means.
BI The following account of the Botha-
BI ker-Rosewater combat in Omaha , says
B | the Lincoln Democrat , is translated
[ from the Paris Journal la Petite :
HI "The instinct fightive is still strong in the
m bosom Americainc. In the city of Nebraska ,
E on the river Omaha , were two editors whose .
m terms upon each other were not amicable ,
H | one , Ilerr Kosenwasser , insulted another , AT.
Hi Kothaquer. The latter is an honorable tie-
HI sceudant of a Huguenot ancient family and
HI resented the rudeness by drawing his rapier.
Kj ] Disdaining to pierce so ignoble an adversary ,
f he punished him with the flat of the weapon.
§ i M. llothaquer is a gallant representative of
f 1 the true cosmopolitan frenchman , and Paris
f ; tenders him her compliments. "
H I The Bev. Dr. Forbes , of St. Paul , re-
H lates the following anecdote : "A young

B sociation gave a starving woman a tract
B and nothing more , and told a lawyer r
Bj afterward that he had never seen such
I j a spirit of Christian resignation as that
Bt
H woman manifested in receiving the tract. J
B Wi Then the lawyer swore athim. I think g
B I that if there was ever a time for swear
ing , then it was. If I am hungry and „

will take the bread and do my own prayn
