I do not know whether tho tally-ho jwrty has yet heard this, but I would suggest tho next tlmo they appear in public they should take projior steps to leavo no similar impression on the minds of tho jwoplo who Imvo not yet been educated up to tliln fashionable fad. 1 Those of our citizens who Imvo not visited tho capitol building in tho last six weeks will bo surprised at tho improved oppearnnco it presents. Tho domo on tho building is about completed, and tho main building is being placed In readiness for tho winter's needs. Tho Improvements about tho grounds ndd prently to tlicl. opcarunce.

Among tho many haiidsmnj and now stylo rigs now soon on tho streets of Lincoln, tho ono driven by Mr. Will Wlttiimn, that ardent admirer of all that is nobby in n turn out, is by nil odds tho most attractive and (litest of its kind in tho city. It is a very pietty two-wheel viMiicle, and tho horso n very stylish, largo animal liedecked with a set of harness that Is tho envy of nil who drive on tho same street with linn. It Is inadoiipof tho bojt leather, tho trimmings being tho most striking and artistic featuro of tho rig, everything In metal being of solid silver. Will Is a great connoiseur of lino work, and tho harness Is another samplo of tho goods turned out by Wlttman Bros. Theso lovely moonlight nights nro lieing enjoyed in many ways by tho young tcop!e. A htroll through tho slunled walks of tho city, a rldo through tho city on horseback, or a drive by buggy comprise tho most attractive belies of amusement for such occasions. Complimentary l'urly.
