ness the closing scones of I'.uslon week and
the plorlcs ol Hosier. At Kotro Da mo on
Holy Thursday , the procession , Ucniluu by
the cardinal hi his gorgeous rooos , followed
by bishop * , priests and acolytes , marched
arounll thu church blessing the broad and
wtnu and the conitrotftuloti. too , who woru
packed like URS in a box In this vast church ,
At Sulnt lioch wo wont to EDO the washing
of feet by the high dignitary , a fcublo old
man , who as an out of humiliation washed
thu fcol of twelvu street urabi. I was dls-
appointed ut the meagcraois of the decora-
lion In ( ho churches , but at the American
Episcopal church tii the Avcnuo d'Alma the
floral decorations were exquisitely beautiful.
Uurlnir Kaslor week thcro wcro many fetes.
Tno ilntcr ; > Drcad folc , which has bean going
en for two weeks , has been sadly interrupted
by tbu dynauilto scare. Only half a square
irom whuro'.voaro lodged and wo llvo in the
tiouso Victor Hugo occupied many years ; one
room , which xras his work room , is padded to
deaden all sound n house was blown up ;
well , not exactly blown un , but the windows
were blown out and the house rendered un
safe. And only a day or t > vo slnco another
explosion took place. I'coplo were vury
anxious and looked forward tothollrstof May
with seine anxiety. The government cer
tainly hud sonio fears of a collulou between
the polite nnl people. They brought
moro troops Into the city and there seemed
to bo double guards everywhere.

Hlght after Easter Is evidently the favorite
tlmo for marrying In PnrU , and Saturday the
favorite day. Thu Hois du Boulogne
is full of bridal parties on that duy. Yester
day wo sat for hours at thu Cuscado restau
rant watching them coma and go. Thcv
mostly drove In omnibuses , the whole party ,
brldo and groom anj friends in the sumo
omnibus.Vhcn. . they wcro n llttlo higher
in rank , the brldo and groom would buvo u
carrlago to themselves. The brides were
always in white , satlusllk or a plain delaine ,
always a white veil , ornngo wreath and
\vhllo slippers. No French girl would con-
eider herself properly married if she had
not u whlto veil and orange blossoms. The
bridal party would descend from their vehi
cles , enter the restaurant , drink the health
of the happy pair , sometimes in cbnmuacno. "
omotlmos in clnrot.not seldom tnoy only "had
beer , for they were of all kinds and condi
tions. Then each couple would go down to
the cascade and pass under the falling water.
To puss under the cascade they bollovo In
sures.thorn long Ufa , peace and happiness.
Their fathers and mothers , grandfathers and
grandmothers , ay , tholr great-grandparents
liavo done it , and it is a custom
that must not bo neglected. Whether
the act brines sunshine into their lives or
cot , certainly it brings pleasure nnd merri
ment at tlfo tlmo. Such laughing and
screaming , such jollity , such an entire free
dom from care enlivens even the onlookers.
I noticed ouo litllo bride whoso wedding
( town was of the simplest , whoso wreath
nnd volt of the commonest nod whoso course ,
rod bands wcro ungloved poor , pathotiu
bands , that showed how hard she must have
worked. She had married a course , ungainly
looking ouvrlcr who sat at the table with 1m
nrm around her puffing the smoke of a ciirqi ; ,
in her faco. She \vas very prcttv ind looko'd
up into his oycs with absolute ndoration.

KloctlonOujrnhO I.uhor Day.
TbjnsnecTh'av'o b'een going on for the last
oek in Paris , but , it has boon so cold that
ono-bas not boon uulo to sco the prolty
The handsome dumcj are swathed
Sn furs that conceal their dainty toilets , or
they arc hid away awaiting moro propitious
weather , or perhaps the llrst of May when
the Salon opens , which Is tomorrow.
Tno llrst of Muy Is Labor day , and ,
imfortunalclynlso election day. Funny ideate
to have an election on Sunday , is it not !
And very unfortunate thiit the workmon',8
jelo should coma tad same day. I do not
think there Is going to bo any trouble. The
unexpected is what happens and the whole
world is expecting trouble in Paris. I heard
of a cook who told her mistress she need not
bo in such a tremor of dread of the 1st ; It
would bo on the IDth of May that Paris would
tremble. Undoubtedly people , particularly
strangers , are Hocking from Purls. The
prlnbo and princess of Wales still linger ,
however , and I do not know any ouo who has
moro to lese than they. It is on the 1st of
May that all the fountains of Versailles play ,
n sight well worth seeing , but woharo been
warned to remain quietly in tha bouso that
aay , because all Paris is on the qul vivo in
anticipation of un emeu to.
Paris Is looking its best Just now. From
the Place Carousal to the Arch do 1'Ktollo
the liorso chestnuts are In full bloom and
the air is redolent with owcotpurfumo , whllo
the eye Is gratified with a beautiful sym
phony la pixeu ; ; and whlto.
I No Colur I.lao la Europe.
Europe seems to bo n paradlso for
our colored brethren. Today when wo
woro'ln at tno restaurant at the Dots a vic
toria drove u < > , and from it stepped n negro
man dressed In the latest style , light over
coat , gray pantaloons , frocK coat , his immense -
menso hands encased In pearl-colored
'gloves , stitched with bluck , and on bis curly
nalr ouo of those funny llttlo straight ,
brimmed Bilk hats tbo artists nnd dilettanti
affect horo. Ho took the next table to us , lit
a cigarette , and while awaiting his colTco
nnd cognac began to ogle nil the pretty
women near him. Ono of the aston
ishing thiupa to us , wo south
ern Americans , U. the deference and
and admiration these continental woman pay
to the negro , and I am told that It Is oven
moro so In Kngland. A friend of mine
known In literary circles in New York who
bolloves very much in the political rights of
the colored man though ho would strenuously
oppose the right of n whlto woman to vote ,
bo Mia over t > o well educated was Invited by
an English lud.v of iability to escort her to n
reception ut the house of a duchess. When
ho arrived nttho housoof his filund ho found
too wan not only to oscdrt lady 1 * , but a
colored woman who , dressed In tbo m6st ap
proved it\lo , loaded with Jewels , wan the
most sought after and received more atten
tion tbuu any ether lady at thu bull.

not only to the Parisian , but to the
"swingers within bis Bales , " lu spllo of
tbo cold , gloomy day the beauty nnd fashion
of the city turned out as will as the wit and
intellect. The great number ot strangers ,
English and Americans predominating ,
bowed they were not scared by the reports
of nn anarchistic uprising , The toilets of the
ladles were very charming , for lu spite of the
weather they had donned thsir spring fan-
clot. The gown * \voro , many of them , very

Tbo artists and literary mon were largely In

It Is called "Tho Innocent Victim. " Two

I cannot describe all the pictures of our
-talented countryman nnd women , but 1
would like to send you a translation from the

"Les cloccs du Salon , " to s panic the argot
nf the tunes , the plcturos that attract the
crowd IB llrst , Datalllo'a "La Sortto do la
Qurnlson do Hunlnguo , " It Is marvelous ,
nnd one of Dolailln's vnry bast works. The
maimed nnd forlorn looking soldiers are
tiling pust their conquerors , the lloworof the
Austrian artcy , gaily drosscd in whlto and
gold , a striking contrast to the bedraggled
soldiers issuing from the fort. The looic of
sympathy on the faces of ilia conquerors as
they present arms , tno noble llgure of Archduke -
duke John ns ho stops forward and seizes the
band of Gunerul Uarbancgro , wbo has his
head bandaged , nnd is pointing to his be
loved fellow combatants , are most wonder
fully depicted. The two drummers in the
foreground nro most forcibly drawn. Above
u the ruined wull of the city , the gate in
s nil liters. ThU is ono of the line pictures of
tbo century. I hope wo may huvo It lu
America.
Another canvas which. Is the sensation of
the year is by Plorro Frltol , called "Los
Conqucrants. " It does not please me , and 1
fcol entirely unable to descrlbo it. It repre
sents tbo great warriors of the past. Alex
ander , Cicsar , Charlemagne and Napoleon ,
mounted on tholr prancing steeds , Hags and
punnons living1 , while oa ouch sldo there is a
vista of ghastly corpses.
There nro many romurkablo portraits. The
one of Ernest Kenan by Bonnart is mnrvcl-
ously lifelike. Kenan has a wonderfully in
teresting face. Ho bus also very ugly finger
nails that cnuld nov or have been manicured.
Munkacsy , the celebrated Hungarian ar
tist , has only ono picture in tbo salon , "Une
Urondo Dame , " in whlto satin docolloto with
arms bare , seated In a rose-colored velvet
chair , in a room illlod with old furniture , sn
exquisitely painted us to talto from the portrait
trait the attention U merits. A vervromark- ,
able portrait is one of Pope Leo XIII. , not
alouo for the wonderful llicanois , but the
beauty of thn coloring , and the graceful ar
rangement of the draperies. Boucuoreau has
a large canvas , "Lo Guinlor. " It is even a
UUlo.moro nude than his others.
The sculptures , which I have loft myself
no tlmo to describe , nra admirably placed in
a room on tbo ground lloor , right undo ? tbo

At the entertainment at Crotghton college
n foxv evenings ago Major John IJ. Puroy
was called upon for n , llttlo story of the Inci
dents nnd oxDOrlcncos of the early days In
O.-naha und vicinity , and ai that Is n subjuct
on which ho has an Inexhaustible fund of
Information , of course ho responded. He
gave the nudlunco the following bit ot al
leged hUtory , but whether it Is fact or some
ot tha malor's clever llctlon the reader must
bo the Judge :
The early oxporicncos , trials nnd tribula
tions of the pioneers of our country , while al
ways Interesting , nro never fully appreci
ated , nor has a hundredth part of tbo events
of tlioso "early daya" been passed down to
in , so that as wo got them tboy merit preser
vation.
On the whole , the people who composed
our ilrjt settlers In the west were by no
means Ignorant oasn settlement bad its pro
portion of lawyers , doctors , colonels und
judges , with occasionally nclorgjmnn , and ,
as in all communities thus miscellaneously
composed , not a few bad coma west to acquire -
quire a prominence not possible where they
were better known.
They had como woit to grovf up with the
country. Withal , they differed but llttlo
from thoao wo now meet , save , perhaps , that
the proportion of men with aspirations for
distinction was much greater.
They were nil very poor , of course , but
bright and sharp and qulto well Informed
upon parliamentary rules , nlid no opportu
nity was ovof neglected , by any onn ot thosa
ambitious pcopio , or gettingto the front , and
the tnrriblu rivalry that existed for promi
nent recognition on ovcrv possible occasion
was often very amusicg.
Quito recently a prominent citizen , noting
thu local olllclal opposition to the funeral
proposed by the United States courts for our
last.Arbor day , remarked i
This succosts a reminiscence of the early
days. Along in the llrst half of the ' 50s 1
wus employed by a company to edit ono of
the little weekly papers thai wo spomod to
need to boom our town of Omaha. Times
were awfully dulland news items scarce.aud
ono day along In the early sprlu lltne.Isatln
my little olllco , wondering what on earth I
could write about that would bo of interest
to my readers , when a coarsely dressed , tall ,
middle aged , solemn , agricultural looking
man , accompanied by two wolfhounds ,
walKcd into the ofllco and Inquired for the
editor. Fooling sure I had'another sub
scriber , I simoly pointed to my own Losom In
a silent , dignified sort of manner.
' Do you print Kockport news In your
paperl" asked the solemn " looking man ,
rather timidly approaching th : digniliod
editor of the pioneer Journal.
"Why yes , of course wo do , when wo can
got at it. What do you wanU"
"Why , you see I Ifvo up between Kockpori
and Dosoto , and t'other day sonic of the
neighbors'got up'a funeral to pass off the
afternoon , and I was among 'em ' of course ,
and I thought maybe you'd like to say some
thing about it in your paper. "
"Well , was thero'anything peculiar about
"No , I can't hardly say that there was.
still there was some little hitches , hero and
there , along , but'wo linally pulled her
through all rigbt. You see the corpse was
our only clergyman , and times up there nro
proity snug this spring , and wo didn't have
another parson to preach over him , so wo
had to make It n sort of a popular funeral ,
and all bands took a sby at it. and this made
the proceedings , along In places , very Jnter-
estlngl"
"That Is rather , .a novel proceeding : , " I
mused , v'wbat dld-you dot"
"AhemI Well , tli'6 sisters" b'rougtit in some
artificial posies , which they borrowed from
tboir last year's bonnets , because the natural
flowers haven't sprouted yet , and they flxod
him up In pretty coed stylo. Then we hold
a meeting in Juclgo Konuard's barn and tem
porarily organized with Judge Perkins In
the chair , and wo apnolntod a commltte'p
on prayers and a committee on hymns and'a '
committee on speeches and anoxocutivocom-
mlttcn. nnrt it wiw thrnnph thnm rnmrnlttniw
mnstly that wo got the hitches.
"You see , when the funeral como off and
wo wore all standing solemnly around the
coflln , the presiding olllcsr called , in a relig
ious manner , for the report of the committee
on prayer as a starter and Judge Tumbleson
presented the report , which was a very able
effort considering that the committee" were
nil inexperienced green bands nt the busi
ness , and the prayer called out considerable
enthusiasm until Solon Sprinkle the consta
ble , presented a minority report and moved u
substitution of the minority for the majority
pravor.
"Then while this motion was pending , the
judgn made an able speech Ol thirty minutes
in defense of bis. prayer , nnd he \ \ ent for
the constable , because , at the last election ,
ho had carried water on botti shoulders and
hud made several pledges * that ho bud not
kept.
"i'ho constiblo. In defense , said that bad
nothing to do with , it at all , the bald , simple
question way , which prayer , would do the
greatest good to * tbo biggest number ; and bo
submitted that bis prayer knocked the
Judge's higher than a .kito.and . was some
thing that the whole community , of what
ever political complexion , had reason to bo
proud of , as it was run on a broad gauge
uasis.
"Then Lawyer Skinner , ono of tbo minor
ity , quoted several decisions In favor of his
prayer , nnd bo proved that Judge Tutnblo-
son had drawn down upon himself the con
demnation of tha whnio settlement by bis
course in that 'Claims club lynchinc1 caso.
"Things wcro trotting red hot , so 1 moved
that wo lav tno whole prayer question on the
table , which was carried on a division by a
vote of 73 tola. "
"So you didn't have any prayers ? "
"N o , wo didn't have any prayer * . Then
the chairman called for the report of the com
mittee on hymns , when Jim Ghanaian raised
the point ol order that the organization of
the funeral was only temporary , and stated
that the executive comruittoo had a list of
o Ulcers wblcQ thay wished to present for tbo
permanent organization.
"Tho chairman promptly ruled him out ot
order as ho was too late having gene Into
thu funeral bo must abldo by tbo organiza
tion us It stood. Mr , Chapman got mad and
asked bis friends to follow him loth ? school-
bouso and see whether they couldn't got Jus
tice , and About forty of them wont. "
"What ! BoltedJ"
"Yes ; bolted , and organized at tbo school *
ho'uso. "
"Then what did you doi"
"Wny wo , being the regulars , wo Just.wont
ahead , but wo found that the ontlru commit
tee on hymns had Joined the bolters , and so ,
on motlo'n of Colonel Wildman of Fort Cat-
noun , wo appointed a special commlttoo of
three , and while they were out hunting up
something appropriate to sing , the chairman
Introduced Colonel Warner of Florence , who
discussed tbo Kansas-Nebraska act with
marked ability , and was followed by Judga
Lovojoy of Kockport , who advised a reorgan
ization of tbo local democracy , with a view
to presenting a solid front in 'M.
"It was getting late nnd the commlttoo
was called In , but being unable to agree on
anything the special committee wni dis
charged. Then after tolling all bands that
on Bucli n solemn occatlon wo should lay our
politics aside , I moved that wo sing 'Coino

Lovejoy moved to strike that out and substi

explain what Interest bo could have lu our

"So vou did not have any hymns ! "
"No , * wo had no sluplne at nil of our owri ,
bat wo could hour tbo boltow over at tha
tcnoolbouio tinging , 'Tbo Poor Old blavo , '
'Wo Won't CJo Homo 'Till Morulnp. ' nnd
other abolition hvinns. The chairman
ordered , u rouort from the committed on
speeches , whereupon judge. Lovojoy , the
chairman , stated thpt tho' committee bud
prepared and agreed upon Uvospeoctiej which
would take tbreo hour * to read , that would
not ouly settle the status of the deceased , but

"As H was growing very late , leave was
granted to file the report with tbo secretary ,
and the reading was dispensed with. "
"So you had no speeches , either ! "
"No , not the regular speeches. Wo had n
pile of talk , of course , nnd then I moved that
wo proceed to the grave and ifhry the la

Nnttonul convention will bo hold in Chicago
cage will sent 18,000 , nnd2,000 moro , ills
estimated , will bo nblo to crowd ihotn-
solves in the aisles nnd corridors. It Is
ono of the boat nnd most commodious
structures ever creeled for such a pur
pose.
The Wigwam Is a rectangular building
400 foot long and 250 foot dcop. It is
sltiuitod on the lake front , facing west
on luichlgan avenue , and extends from
Washington street to Madison. The ex
terior is Beverly plain , the managers
thinking thai elaborate ornamentation
of a building to bo used for three or
four days and then torn down would bo
a needless waste of money. Room is the
great desideratum in such a building ,
and the Wigwam will surprise visitors
by its vastnoss. i
Special attention is given to the in
terior arrangements. There nro so
many exits that the building can bo
emptied in a few minutes. The main
entrance will bo from Michigan avenue ,
and the stage is being erected on the
west side of the building , almost mid
way between Washington r.nd Madison
streets. The speakers' stand extends
forward a considerable distance , nnd to
the right nnd to the loft of the stand
are UOO souts which will bo occupied by
representatives of the loading ncwsi
papers of the country. Under the stage
the tolograpic ' instruments will bo
placed , BO that dispatches may bo sent
out almost the minute they uro ready
for the telegraphers.
Immediately in front of the speakers'
stand the 810 delegates will bo seated.
A corridor twelve feet wide on either
side of the speakers' stand runs from
the body of the hall to the commlttoo
rooms , which are situated under the
galleries on the east side of the tr/am-
mbth building. The seats in. the roar
of the delegates rise gradually until
they reach a level twenty-four foot
above the sidowal'c. The gallery extends -
tends around the building in a semicircle -
circle , ending nt the platform. There
nro thrco committee rooms , each forty-
eight by seventy-two foot. Threeexits
will bo provided for delegates only.-
so that they may not bo inconvenienced
by the crowd while entorlngior leaving
the building. „ * . > Ai '
The portion "ut the main floor not'oc-
pupiod by the delegates will bo divided
into sections , which will bo occupied by
the general public. It was intended to
seat only 15,000 people- and this plan
would have boon carried out had , not a
dispute arisen ever the distribution of
the tickets. The national commlttoo
thought the local committee could get
along very comfortably with 3,000 seats ,
and agreed to bo content for it sown part
with 12,000. Then the .local managers ,
in order to recoup themselves for the
expense of providing for a convention
which they luidL not sought , concluded
to erect a building which would allow
them 0,000 seats. As seats are in great
demand at $20 apicco , the committee
expects to como out of the enterprise
without any expense for the building.

80,209,000 tons of freight were trnns-
)0rtbd during tlio sonson of 1800 , they
voro carried tin nvornpo distance of 600
nllos ; so Umt , iiuiltlplyltifj the tons
arrlod by the dlstanco In miles , wo
mvo raoro than 17,000,000,000 ton-ralloa ,
or n freight distribution equal to almost
one-fourth of tlio ton-tnllongo of all our
ailroads. The lake frolghtngo has l > eon
ono nt tin avorngo charpo to shlppors of
3 mills per ton-tnilo. The shipments by
allroad , on the contrary , nro averaged
> y the interstate commerce uoininlsslon
nt O. iJ mills per ton-mile ; so Umt there
vns n. saving on oacli ton transported by
his water-road ever the nvorngo
harcoa by railroad for an equal dls-
nucb"of S4.-J8 , or an nggrogato saving to
bo divided between the producers nnd
onsiimera of this country of moro than
133,800,000.
As the govdrnniont hhs appropriated
not qulto $30,000,000 for the improve-
nont of the Croat lakes , tholr harbors ,
and the rlvors that run into them , the
luoplo of this country received through
.ho . cheapened distribution made possi-
> lo by this nxpendlturo in the
Ingle year ot 1890 four nnd
n half times the total cost
of the improvements ; or , to state the
idvantngos of this Improved waterway
n another'way , the cost of lake freight
vas Ot per cent of the valuoof the goods
.ransportcd . ; whereas if they had boon
.ransportcd . nt the average charge for
ailroad freight , the cost would have
joon fully -10 per cent of tholr value.
Thlb percentage would have obviously
alcon so largo a part of the value of ti
considerable portion of the goods that
ho labor and profits of tholr production
nnd distribution must have boon lost to
ho community if dependence had been
