I hnvo just Hnlshed rending In an eastern
journnl an account of tlio arrest of two high
ly respectable young Indies by n plg-hended
pollcemnn in Philadelphia, Mho escorted
them to the. rtntlon limine mid locked them
up In n filthy, dirty cell over night. And
for whntl Blinply liccnuso they hnd staid
nt tho homo of n friond where n companion
lay dead and it was lata before, they started
Homo. 1 ho moiinrch of tho street hnd his
"suspicions" nroiucd and in splto of their
protests took thorn Into custody. At tho
station Instead i f being put in chargu of thu
matron thoy were placed under lock and key.
For his pnrt In this Irregulnr proceeding
tho House Sergeant, ns well ns tho zealous
copper, who glories In the unmo of Cronln,
hnvo lost their olllcinl lioads that is to say,
both hnvo been suspended ponding thu luvos
tigntiou of thu case. But what good will
either thu suspension or Investigation nfford
tho outtaged feelings of thu two victims?
Will it render less unpleasant their contem
plation of tho cell with its chilling iron bnrs
and tho horrors of tho night spout there?
Hardly. There is no remedy for that. The
suspension of the entire pollco forco would bo
a matter of little interest to them now.
Out what shall bo said of tho policeman
and his action? Tho arrest was totally un
warranted, uncalled for. It wus made with
out process of any nature, savo what his
club and shield afforded, and there wax no
pretense that tho oxorclso of this was justi
fied by any clrcumstanco whatever. Tho
young ladies wero not acting unseemly or
boisterous; thov wero hurrying to their
homes as fast us possible when thu Ill-mannered
blue coat intercepted them. That is
nil there was of tho matter; and bocauso this
man had a "suspicion" under tho helmet
which Is supiiosed to cover his brains, these
ladies must needs Imj curted to thu station
house like a common criminal to languish
overnight. One thing is certain. Such
things cannot bu permitted in this country.
The citizens hnvo tho freedom of thu streets
nt all hours and so long as they are innocent
of crime and conduct themselves becomingly
have a right to walk wl.oro and when they
please, bu It latu or early. Vigilance in police
men is commendable, but it must Imj cou
pled with discretion or elsu it easily and
quickly degenerates into tyranny and in
justice.
In the current issue of the Western Musi
cian Prof. O. B. Howell of tho conservatory
of music has an interesting article on tho
species (cutis who is always seeking some
thing for nothing. He is a well known and
multitudinous Individual whose features and
imiortunltleH are famtlar to tho members of
every tiado and profession. Professor
Howell, in his article, sums him up llko this:
"A person who has spent years of toil and
study, besides a small fortune to procure n
musical education, have in their profession
their stock in trade. It does not require
much brain power to comprehend that a
musician, to attain eminence, must work
with n personal saurlflco of time and thu ex
penditure of large Bums of money.
If It is desired to get up a concert to fur
nish aid for any charitable object, thu musi
cian is promptly called upon lo exhibit his
powers purely for lov. Many of tho musi
cians culled upon for churl table schemes, can
ill afford to dovoto their time and energies
in this dii ration. He is asked to glvu up his
time fo' tho delectation of the people in
whom he has only a public interest, and to
spend so much of his time that his family, In
a measure are sufferers by his labor of love.
If a musicluu is invited out to send u social
evening with his friends, It is qultu natural
for some dear friend to suy, "Now, Pio
ressor, just piny us ono piece, plenso." Why
not nsk thu minister, who was invited to
spend a social evening, to preach a sermon
to amuse tho company, or tho luwyer to
make u plea for their edification, or thu polit
ical orator to make a freo trade speech for
their disgust? Why not ask the shoemaker
to bring his kit of tools and amuse thu com
pany for u short time by making a pair of
shoes? The true musician is a man of re
finement, and enjojs social gatherings. He
takis pride in his chosen work, and it is
humiliating to him to bu usked to play or
sing simply to umuse, and ho cannot olford
to display his power simply for the lovu of
nit." This will apply with equul foico to
almost any profession. None are exempt
from thu soinethliig-for-notliing-mun s sollo
itntlous. He is n woudoiful factor in the
lives of many men. His modesty prevents
him ubkiug for anything more than tho
earth.
Now that it Is all ovor and the "big In
diana" of both parties havo laid down their
implements of warfuro and taken up tho
pipe of peace, tho country will resume its
wonted npeai unco of serenity and prosper
ity, as though it all bad never imppuued and
everthlug and everybody will bu gunerally
contented, that is, of course, excepting the
newspapers, who will continue to discuss thu
election and kick against tho decision liku thu
true soldiers they uru. But as their little
editorial fusilades are in main a harmless
sort of puHlnio which seem to do no injury
while affording them a good deal of satlsfctu
tlon, theru can bu no particular objection to
their continuing thu fun. It occurs ttiough
to one looking at it with an uuprejudico 1 eye
that there is n timo and place for every
thing anil that tho controversy has had its
time. Its place is In history now.
It has often been n matter of wonderment
und surprise to mo how good books could bo
furnished und sold as cheaply as they have
In tlio past few years, und I confess I urn still
nt n loss to understand how It Is done. My
publishing frleuds must have some secret
method of their own which thoy uru care
fully guarding, for the mora oiio thinks ot it
tho inoro Inexplicable it i.ppeur&. Tuke, for
SS&Cg.-.
instance, the books which aro ofrorod as pre
mulmsby tho CouiUKit, look them over
carefully and then tell me If you cnu seo
how it Is possible to furnish them nt thu
prlco asked. There Is Charles Dickens in
fifteen volumes, haudsomoly bound In the
best bindors's cloth and onibosjod in original
designs In black and gold, which aru offered
with the paper n whole year for five dollars.
Allow two dollars for the Couiimi, its reg
ular subscription rate, and you havo Dick
ens, who Is essentially the novelist of tho
people, at your command for twenty cents a
volume an Insignificant price! On tho
same principle, you may have Thackeray in
ten volumes, cloth, and tho paper, for ViU
or Elliot's six volumes for fc).'.!5, with thu
paper for n whole your us a gift. What
puzzles mo most, though, is thu superior got
up and attractiveness of thu volumes. They
aru not thu cheap, imorfoctly printed und
utill more Imperfectly bound books ono
would oxpect to obtain at these figures. On
tho contrary, thu platos aro excellent,
Impression sharp and clear, and thu
paper Is very good und even the illustrations
show up well, while tho binding and emboss
ing aru equal to many two dollar volumes I
havo seen. As I said before, it'i u mystery
to mo how the books can bo olfered ut such a
price, but tho fact remains that thoy aro and
that hundreds of copies of them have been
taken within two mouths. If any of my
friends contemplate purchasing thu works of
these standard authors, I would advise them
to get in on tho ground floor for I really uutlc
iputo thu failure of thu publishers, unless
prices are advanced. Frankly, I cannot seo
how it cull bo avoided.
Tho growing demand for literature of the
civil wur is bringing out u good deal of what
may bu culled novelty in war literature, The
numerous histories and magazine und news
paper urtieles written seem Inudequute to
uppease the public nppetitu and so u Phila
delphia journal, Tho Inquirer, has com
menced tho publication of tho dully news
dispatches of thirty -one years ugo mid pub
lished in its ll.'es at that time. This is his
tory repeating Itself withju vengeance ;iud It
Is not unworthy of nolo that tho urtieles uru
wurinly received.
There Is little wonder that tho Hock Island
has made such rapid strides into popularity.
A year ago not a passenger train was moving
in or out of Lincoln today tho Hue is us
well known and as popular as any of the
older ones. Thu company has a corps of
most efllclent mid very plensaut gentlemen
to deal with, and in this thu Hock Island
has already niadu botli famu mid fortune for
itself. The company's city passenger agent,
none other than our genial young friend
Charlie Hutherford, has become one of our
best known and most popular city ugents.
Ho is known by nil tho uowspaper boys as u
"hall fellow veil met," and its u very pecu
liar occasion when a Lincoln pupor comes
out these days without some good remark
nlont the now lino. Rutherford is always
ready to glvo a few moments timo to thu
news hustlers and if any Information in Ids
profession will bo of service to them, they
never full to get it fresh und intelligently.
Kver obliging, courteous and comp inlouablu,
Mr. Hutherford has found in his new homo
an appreciative public and a host of friends
mid all classes and the company is to bo
congratulated upon having the services of a
gentleman so well liked and so well qualified
to sorvo its interests.
It lias como to bu generally accepted ns
both meet and projier that women could en
ter the pi ofesslous with perfect contldencu
and propriety. Tho many thousands of
them enguged tnroughout tho country are
sufllolout evidence of that. When, there
fore a i eputablu physician who has enjoyed
years of practice and experience stands up
und proclaims that this is all wrong, his or
tier remarks are apt to bu received with
moro than ordinary attention. This is pre
cisely what Dr. Arabella Kunenly, a distin
guished Loudon M. D., does in just those
words: "Women should not attempt to car
on u profession after murrlagu. I mean thu
women of thu upper and middle classes who
go.tnto.tho professions. It is not necessary that
they should bo the breadwinners; that duty
should devolve upon tho husband, and I urn
conlldunt that tho rising generation would bu
healthier and stronger in overy way if tho
mothers would exert themselves less. I

look nuxloufdy nt every baby that comos un
der my notice in thu hopu that I shall find
some Improvement In the type, some In
crease in stamina, compared with thu gener
ation that hits preceded it; but Inst "a 1 of
this there is only steady deterioration ob
sorvoblo. This deterioration Is pirtlcul irlv
notlcenblo among thu children of very ac
tive mothers. Tho cleverest mid most high
ly educated women, tho women who take thu
most active part In public ulfalis, have iliu
most weakly and puny children. Another
thing, women uru going Into too active
forms of oxorclso. When u young man led
woman tells mo that she is captain of n
cricket eleven or n football te'im I can only
say I am perfectly aghast. Women must
place before themselves tlio alternative, to
earn their living, to exercise their faculties,
and to gratify their ambitions in a profes
sional career, or to become good wives and
mothers, and it they choose tho domestic life
they must lecogufzu that they must sacrlflcu
their pHrsonul happiness und ambition in thu
future happiness and success of their child
ren." There's n good deal of solid horse
sense in what Doctress Arabella says. Shu
will find many who, liku myself, will readily
ucquiescu in her opinion.
World's Columbian Imposition The
Dairy IlullilliiK.
Thu Dairy Building shown to-day is quite
sure to bo regarded with groat favor by
World's Fair visitors in general, while by
agriculturists it will be considered one of
thu most useful and uttruetlvo features of
thu whole exposition. It wusdeslguod to
contain not only a complete exhibit of dairy
products, but also u d dry school, in connec
tion with which will bu conducted u series of
tests for determining the relative mollis of
