LINCOLN , April 7. Botanists declare
that sometimes in the practical proaocu <
.ion of Ihoir scientific pursuits they find
a single plant or flower in seine far nwaj
place where none of its species were ovoi
) oforo known to grow and where , in the
natural order of things , it should have nc
ircsonco and no life , How the seed
came to thcso isolated places to rcpro
duce its kind is somewhat of a mystery
and can bo accounted for by the trans-
ilanting done no effectively by the beaks
of birds and the waywardness of the
wind. So it is with many of the promi
nent affairs of life. Take morality for
nstanco. How frequently wo see n com
munity that for years and years has
never known what ia wrong or unlawful

which is not strictly of a lily-liko purity.
I regret to say that events during the

iol of Nebraska's social cathudral

are $3,000 for loss of services , eto. , aud
1100 for expenses of medical attendance

Ono utrango feature about this case is
hat at a very early hour the next morn-
ng the papers in this case were removed
yy the attorneys from the court files and
negotiations I understand for a settle

TUB NEW JUDGE.
General Milton Montgomery , who hat
uat been elected police judge , has been
ocoiving congratulations on all sides re
gardless of party , nationality , fleet 01
irovious condition , and had ho anothoi
nn ( ono having been lost in the survict
of his country ) the handshaking would

L'ho general will undoubtedly hold the
scales of justice just as evenly balanccc
as if he hod a dozen hands and the pee
ilo hero expect great things of him. A <
my rate ho comes to the otlice with a iiiu
record and ho will undoubtedly prove i
most acceptable cfilciol. In convoraatioi

TUB KJIIE LADDIES.
Although the firemen of the city havi
taken no organized action regarding tin
tournament to bo held in your city ii
July , they are individually opposed t <
having it held on the Fourth. The ;
claim that the most active members of th
department cannot leave theirbusinots 01
the national holiday , and will not do so
There ia no doubt but the tournamen
must be hold at notno other time , or th
attendance from the provincial place * wll
be altin indeed. [ The date lias boci
changed to the fourth week in July.-
ED.I Lincoln has a splendid orgauietttioi
of firemen , its "Morchants'r and it
"Fitzgerald" hose , being us active , faith
ful to duty and as gentlemanly conducts
as any company in the state. I do nc
think that the city properly approciat
their services , and one thing is certain
they have not suitable equipments. Ii
fact , a short time ago a blow was mad
by the passage of a resolution in the corn
mon council hero that will hav
the effect of destroying th
volunteer department entirely
and at thr sauio time result in no sue ]
benefit us came from the existence of th
present department. This resolution It
to organize n fire brigade to bo composed
of picked mon to bo selected by the chiol
engineer , who will receive n small com
ponsation. It has already had the effect
of dampening the boy's ardor nd they
think it is an undeserved criticism ol
their efficiency.
A IlUTLEniAN SQUINT.
There appeared in this city some wcoke
ngo a dapper little Irishman named Eu-
; cno Flaherty , who hailed from Boston ,
Massachusetts , and was engaged in sell
ing stove polish for an extensive eastern
liouso. It soon bccamo known that he
was also doing considerable political pol
ishing and that in a very quiet way ho
was putting up pins for Ken Duller.
Flaherty has many years experience in
thia kind of busincs , being a graduate ol
the Mercantile Literary Institute
in Boston where the "boys"
chow the loaves of Oushlng's
Manual for tobacco , and ono as skillful
\p \ organizing caucusscs and convontiont
as n deacon is in passing around the sub
scription box. Ho was chairman of the
state central committco of the greenback
party in Majsachuiotts when Butler waa
ovcnor. Ho was the prime mover in
: apturing the democratic convention at
NVorcostor for Benjamin , and in fact en
gineered the whole campaign. Ho was
also very prominent in Fenian affairs in
18G5 and afterwards , and with a leading
part in many of its most important trans-
notions. Flaherty denies that ho is auth
oritatively delegated to work for Butler ,
as the "old man" wants to steer clear ol
parly booms , but ho _ confesses that ho is
in correspondence with some of Butler's
head wire-pullers , and that secret work
in behalf of the chiol is bcingdono all ovei
the country. Ho docs not deny however
that ho is putting in his "best licks" foi
Benjamin , but ho slyly suggests that ho
is doing it solely for the love of old asso
ciation in the Bay state. Ho also hazards
the assertion that Butler will capture
orory National convention that is called
except tliH republican. This is "big talk"
From a little man , but if the Butler menlo
lo their work in other places as well as
Flaherty hai done in the southeastern
> art of the state there may bo some truth
n it.
I'EAOnrUL riUMAltlKS.
The primaries that will eventually in-
.roducd delegates to the district couven-
, lon at Nebraska City , passed off very
quietly yesterday , as a compromise was
effected the day before and the lions and
ambs reposed very quietly together at
iho polls.
The now "guv'nor" of the agricultural
'arm , Mr. Savage , of Sargent , Custet
county , has arrived and will soon bo in
dustriously at work , on the bucolic realms
> f the state farm. Those who know him
lorp say that ho will undoubtedly fill the
) osition of "Chief plain Nebraska
armor" very well , as ho has had many
rears experience in the business. As the
itock branch of the state farm has lately
seen separated from the agricultural
Branch , Mr. Savage will have more
.imo to give the branch , whichever
over it may bo , moro direct attention.
Whether this division is made for the
good of the farm , or to supply another
official position for some of the faithful ,
remains to bo seen. Mr. Savage was a
member of the last legislature , and ono
very conservative man of my acquaint-
unco who evidently judges state officials
more as a class than individually andwho
perhaps was not thoroughly posted on the
record of the now farmer says "ho is a
railroad striker , of course , and is Rotting
lis reward. . ' At any rate , it will bo soon
manifest whether ho will work with his
: orporation clothes on in the state corn
lelds don "hum " whether
, or plain spun ;
er the hayseed will take kindly to his
aa'r ( if it bo railroad oiled ) or not.

Letter From n Female Physician.
104 SECOND AVENUE ,
NEW YOUK , May 1 , 1883.
My specialty is diseases of women and
children. I like ALLCOOK'S Ponous
PLAHTEIIS because they are so quick and
cfiiciout , and never irritate or mark the
tandorcst skin. I have found them most
iseful in my practice , and they are cer
tainly the best plasters now made. To
llustrato : My son of ton years of ago
took a bad Cold and coughed Incessantly ;
no medicine would relieve him ; after
some twelve hours I applied an ALLCOCK'H
POROUS PLABTEK to his throat and upper
chest. The cough ceased entirely in an
lour , and the next day the boy was well.
I told tbo case to a gentleman who suf
fered in the same style ; ho , too , was
cured in twenty-four hours of his cough
by ALLOOCIC'H Pououa PIATHUS. Another
[ > ationt suffered from pain in the small of
the back ALLCOCK'S Pououa PLAHTEK
was applied at night , and next morning
the pain had ceased. Again , a young
ady suffering from Neuralgia Pains
around the heart , by my advice used
ALLCOCK'H POUOUJ PLABTEIU , and wu
mtiroly cured in three days. Finally , n
lady came to mo with Cold Foot , which
constantly recurred night and day this
sometimes is a symptom of Uterine Con
gestion I applied an AI.LCOCK.'O POHOUH
P&AKTEU to the solo of each foot , , and
lior foot got and continued warm. She
were the Plasters over a week.
Thus I have recently tried ALncocK'fl

able curative power.

An Attempt to Bxvliullo Followed bj

Cotton Globe ,
"I would like to obtain a loan of $900
upon those diamond car rings. "
It wna a fine looking , well droaaod
woman , possibly CO years of ago , who
spoke. Blio was slightly gray and nttirod
in a fur-linod silk circular. The person
addressed was Edward L. Ohattbc , treas
urer of the Boston Loan company , 275
NVashington street. As aho spoke the
displayed n beautiful little jewel ciwo of
crimson velvet , lined with white aatin ,
in which glistened a magnificent pair of
solitaire diamond oar rings , mounted in
rich dead gold. Mr. Ohaffeo took the
jewel cnao in his hand and examined the
stones with great care. They were among
the finest ho had over seen. Each * stone
was of about six and nhalf carata weight ,
perfectly matched and of the purest blue
while color imaginable , throwing out a
magnificent luitro. It is rare indeed
that stones of such largo dizo appear so
perfect in color. Mr. Chatlbo was
charmed , but ho was too cautious a busi
ness man to make so largo n loan upon
his own unaided judgment. Fortunately
George H. HowJuml , of Now Bedford ,
known to the trade nnd others as "Din-
mend George , " and ono of.tho keenest of
experts in gems , chanced to bo present.
Mr. OhafTeo showed the stones to him ,
and ho examined them carefully , turning
them in every possible light and oven
placing them under n glass. At length
ho looked and aid to Mr. Chafleo :
"l WILL OIVE YOU $70 A CAIIAT FOll
T11EM. "
As Mr. Howlsnd is constantly dealing
in diamonds , Mr. Chaffed felt confident
that if that gentleman was willing to give
the pric ? named they must bo worth in
the market considerably more , possibly
$100 a carat , os $1300 for the pair , the
price which the applicant for the loan
claimed to have paid for them.
"Whoro did you bny those diamonds ? "
ho asked of the lady.
"I purchased them of Mr. Orump , of
the firm of Shrove , Crump & Low , 432
Washington street.
"Did you buy them of Shrove , Crump
& LowJ"
' 'No ; I bought them of Mr. Crump
personally. They did not como from his
store. "
While this conversation was going on ,
Mr. Howland glanced at the lady , and at
once recognized her as the same person
ho had seen a few moments before at
Pntorson & Co.'s , 230 Washington street ,
where also she had offered the diamonds
as security for a loan. As Mr. Paterson
did not chance to bo present when she
calledand she had immediately left with
out waiting his return , Mr Howland did
not , of course , think it strange to sea her
hero. Mr. ChafFoo considered the matter
timber , and had nearly decided to offer
a loan of $700 upon the diamonds. But
he stni hesitated. The
KXTKAOUDINARY I1EADTY OP STONES ,
taken in connection with their unusual
size excited his wonder. Suddenly ho
had a revelation. Ho remembered the
somewhat famous diamond swindle of a
few months ago at New Haven , where
"painted" diamonds were able to deceive
the keenest export , and an unscrupulous
adventurer had made a "big haul" from
the pockets of the unwary. The revela
tion was his safety. Stopping quickly tea
a desk , he procured a small bottle of al
cohol and a brush and gave the beautiful
gems a vigorous bath with the liquid. At
once the magnificent color faded and dis
appeared , and in a moment the stones ap
peared in their own proper garb as cheap ,
yellow African diamonds , worth at the
greatest no more than $300. Handing
the gems to Mr. Howland , Mr. Ohaffeo
said :
"Hero , Ooorgo , look at your splendid
diamonds now. Will you buy them at
$70 a carat ? "
Mr. Howland gave a glance at the
stones and answered :
"Thoy were painted. I wouldn't give
you $30 a carat for those stones. "
Returning to the counter , where the
lady stood awaiting her answer , Mr.
Chnffeo remarked to her :
"I think , madam , I will keep these
diamond * for a time. Taoy will bo en
tirely safe here. "
"Very well , fur , " was the reply , and
the lady at once loft the oflico.
WITHIN AH HOUR
after1 this occurenco , Mr. Howland
chanced to bo at the ollica of J. C. Davis ,
1Z School street , when the same person
untorod and , displaying a pair of magni
ficent solitaire earrings , still larger than
those shown Mr. Chaifd , aaked for a loan
of $1,400. Shu represented the gems to
be heirlooms , which had been in her fam
ily for at least forty years , and also stated
that they had been for a long time on de
posit in a safe of the Boston Safe Deposit
and Trust Company. Mr. Craig , Mr.
Davis' assistant , and Mr. Howland
together examined the gems , and washed
them with alcohol , but they were able to
detect no deceit in them. But as Mr.
Duvis was absent , Mr. Craig did not wish
to take the responsibility of making BO
larqo a loon , and accordingly returned the
diamonds to the applicant , who disap
peared. All this occured last Friday.
Last Monday the woman who presented
the washed diamonds at Mr. Chafleo's re
turned to that oflico accompanied by a
man , who asked rather hurriedly :
"Are you prepared to return thia lady's
diamonds to her ? "
"No , " responded Mr. Ohaffoo. "I am
not ready togivo them up yet. "
"Very well , then , " returned the
stranger ; "wo will consider it a Bale , then ,
at § 1,300 , and will loavu the matter with
our attorney to nettle , " and h * vent out
as hastily as ho had entered.
Yesterday Mr. Ohaffeo rscoivod the
following remarkable letter through the
mail :
NK\V YORK , March 81,188 J ,
Dotton Loan Con piny , lit. Chifftt. Trea urea ;
DKAU Sm What would it be worth to
you if you were to received information
regarding the party who offered you
painted diamonds last week , so aa to beat
her and her eminent counsel in the legal
action she has beguu. Aa soon as this
information is known to you and youi
counsel , it will bo sufficient to stop all
action on her part. "
TUB HIO.KA.TUKB AVPKNDBD
to this communication is withheld by the
police authorities , in whoso hands the
uutter has been placed. It is , pnrhaps ,
necessary to state that no legal action
hai been begun against Mr. Ohafloe , as
the letter Implies , and it is scarcely prnb'
* Uo that any will bo brought , The
diamonds are now in the hantla of the
police * , who will doubtless bo ( ( lad to BUT
render them to the ponon who endeavored
ored to obtain the loan upon thorn upon
her application for the mime , in person ,
at police headquarters ,
For the bonotit of the uninitiated il
should bo said that it has recently been
discovered that n certain liquid exists ,
the chemical composition of which is as
j\it a secret , which being applied to din <
inonda of poor water and little value will
impart to them a brilliancy equalled only
by the finest Brazilian gems. The meal
clangorous quality of this liquid is that il
is uiialloctcd by water or soap , and only
by the use of alcohol can it bo removed
and the inferior quality of the painted
diamond disclosed.
It should bo stated , in iustico to Mr.
Crump , that gentleman is poaitivo that
ho never saw the diamonds until they
were ahowu to him by Inspector Watts ,
who has the caao in hand , and deserts
unequivocally that ho never made a sale
of any diamonds or other jowcls upon
his own account and apart from the
busincsn of the firm of which ho is n mem
ber.
ber.Tho
The affair appears to bo a counterpart
of the famous Now Haven diamond swin
dle , it being evident that n gang is or has
boon attempting to "work" this city.

Cruelty to iluBlmnds.
N w York Times.
A North Carolina husband has brought
a twit for divorce against his wife , claim
ing that she has boon guilty of cruel and
inhuman conduct toward him. Ho spe
cially sots forth in his complaint that on
ono occasion she seized an axe and com
pelled him to climb a treo. Thereupon
she began to cut down the tree , compel
ling him to remain meanwhile in its
branches by the threat of chopping off his
foot in caao ho should try to climb down.
In course ot time the tree fell , and the
husband , being severely injured , felt that
the time had como for him to got rid of
his tyrant.
It is impossible to feel much sympathy
with a husband so utterly devoid of any
ability to protect himself. When his
wife began to cut down the tree , the obvi
ous thing for him to do was suddenly to
drop on her back. She would have broken
his fall , BO that it would have done him
no injury , while , on the other hand , the
concussion would have driven her some
distance into the ground , and thus pre
vented her from using her axe. It is no
wonder that so dull a man was despised
by his wife , and , on the whole , she de
serves credit as a sprightly and original
variety of woman.

swore that she had two conversations with
Sooner previous to the shooting , ot Nor

ened to burn his- building , , but ho should
watch him , audi shoot him like a dog.

About an hour and a halt betoro the
shooting took place ho saw two. men. in
an alloy near where the deed 'was com
mitted , ono ofi them having.a. gun ia his
hands. Ho recognized' ono of the mon
as Stonor. Several days before the shoot
ing of Norris , fctonor said to him thab he
( Stonnr ) had watched Norris long-.onough.
Witness was a brother-in-law of tho. . mur
dered man.
Fanny Penn , sister of- the abovo. wit
ness , said :
She was stopping with a family named
White , and saw the throe accuaed-poraona -
together , and'Hughes ' and Stoner were at
White's frequently taking about the best
way to .kill . Norris. The night of the
murder Stoner loaded a gun wit It buck
shot in her presence and said it vraa to
kill Norris.
George Pcnn.nlso . stated that IK Ear-
hart told him that Norris hadi hired a
man to whip him , and ho would.got oven
with'him. The defense claims to bo able
