Free Delivery.
J. W. Freeman, Esq., special agent
of the post-office department, is in
the city today, inspecting the office
and looking particularly at a pro
posed new location in the Riley
building. After all expenses are
paid the postmaster finds he re
ceives a salary of about $40 per
month for his work of sixteen hours
per day. He either has to move the
office or resign. The two north
rooms in the Riley building on
Sixth street with an arch between
them has been offered to Mr,
Streight, rent and fuel free. That
lie should prefer to change rather
than pay $75 per month out of his
own pocket, is not surprising,
Among other things mentioned by
the inspector was the fact that we
could have a free delivery system
the same as Omaha, Lincoln, Fre
mont, Beatrice and Nebraska City.

Mr. Freeman goes to Lincoln to

River Improvement.
If our people will act at once and
promptly, we may be able to get
our just deserts in the way of river
improvements. I lie river commis
sion is now in session at St. Louis
and will probably remain in session
all week. Omaha and Nebraska
City each have delegates before the
commission, while I'lattsmouth is
not represented at all. The board
of trade should take immediate ac
tion and send one or more delegates
to St. Louis forthwith. We not only
have $oO,(XX) specially to our credit
in the hands of the commission, but
we have our share of the million
dollars appropriated to be used be
tween Sioux City and the mouth of
the river. Last year, through the
manipulations of W. J. Hroatch, the
'Omahogs" and Nebraska City got
all the work, amounting to over
$11)0,000, while not a penny was ex
pended here. And no where on the
river could the money be better ex
pended than at I'lattsmouth; if the
bar in front of the depot were
reclaimed the river would
be straightened and the chan
nel thereby deepened aiding navi
gation materially, but that is not all
it the bar were reclaimed the O tjco
pie we are assured would be willing
to use it for switches and would
move their Pacific Junction offices
over here together with their freight
crews making this one of their main
division stations on the line. Many
other direct benefits would be de
rived from the expenditure of a
large sum of money here. The city
council have acted in the matter
and we hope the Board of trade
will send a delegate at once.

The general cariosity of oar entire
town w&a aroused by the appearance
npon oar streets of native of India,
who was born upon one of the Fiji
islands. lie wore a very red or cardinal
colored suit of clothes, knee pants, and
jacket trimmed with black velvet collar
and cuffs. Over his shoulder he carried
a cloak that was tied over the left shoul
der and under the right, made of white
and red flannel. His head was covered
with a hlou.se that fell down his back,
and fitill over this a sombrero. His shoee
were tied under the instep with a one-
half inch white braid that wound around
the leg up to the knees. His general ap-
tiearaiice was very gaudy.
This native was converted when 23
years old, and is now 74 years of age,
His father lived to be 130 years of age.
His life has been spent in lecturing on
the condition of his people. He epeaks
twenty languages fluently. When five
or six years old he saw an Indian woman
thmw her child to a crocodile that
weighed 1,000 pounds. The animal
missed the child, and the mother caught
it ls it ran back to her begging for its
life, when she threw it again. This time
the crocodile struck it with its claws,
tore it into two pieces and ate it very
quickly. She then reported her acts to
the pagan priest, and he blessed her, say
ing to her, "Go sin no more."
He also was a cannibal. When he was
7 years old there were twenty-one min
isters who were caught traveling and
prospecting for places to locate churches,
and one of these ministers was beheaded
every morning by their high priest and
his flebh cooked, and the natives were
made to stand in a row atid each one was
given a part of the flesh, and they stood
and ate it. This was continued every
day for twenty one days, until all of the
ministers were eaten up, and he ate part
of twenty-one preachers.
He says the natives never do eat one
another unless one is taken in war or as
a missionary; that it is a mistaken idea
that they slay one another to eat when
this man and that is fat enough to eat;
that the beasts of the field never slay
one of their kind to prey upon, and that
the savages have never gotten to be
lower than wild animals. Atlanta Con
stitution.
C4es in a lrog.
The oddest story of jj'ese in the fog
comes from Norfolk, and was told to
Mr. Stevenson, the author of "The Birds
of Norfolk," by the Rev. II. T. Frere. A
kirge flock of geese were attracted to the
town of Diss on a foggy night by the
lights, and from the sound of their voices
seemed to fly scare ly higher t!;an the
tojs of the houses.
They came about 7 p. in., and, as it
was Sunday evening, t iey appeared to
be especially attracted by the lights in
the church, and their incessant clamor
not a little disturbed the congregation
assembled for evening service. From
that time until 2 a. m., when the fog
cleared off and they departed, thc3r con-
tinned to fly around utterly bewildered.
One bird happened to fly so low as to
strike a gas lamp outside the town
probably it was flying round the light
just as a policeman was passing by, who
very property, as the bird was making a
great noise outside a public house, took
it into custody, and the next day it was
with equal propriety sent off to a pri
vate lunatic asylum at Melton, where it
liv-d for some years an honored guest.

Wlien a Gentleman Seems IIomelsa.
Do you know when an elegant, pol-
i-hed gentleman seems like a tramp? It
is when he allows the impression to go
out that he has no placa he can call
home, or belonging to himself individu
al! v. hy using club stationery for all of
his correspondence. Something about it
there is that smacks of snobbishness,
poverty or secrecy more than of the dig
nity belonging to an exclusive or popu
lar club. For a general address in the
vs living of city life one's club is de-
cidi-ii! convenient, ami tnei-e are cer
tain notes and letters that have the cor
rect air when toppei by the club name,
uionogiai.'i or coat of arms, but when a
man connnes himseu to tne emu sta
tionery for his business letters, his formal
and infuznial notes and all social letters
calls up that class of men who board
at interior hotels and slip around to
well known high priced ones and help
themselves to the paper that is left in
the reading and writing rooms for the
use of the tjuests. Chicago Herald.
Lamp Shades.
Many of thos gorgeous lamp shades
that bewilder the eye from half a dozen
show windows on Fifth avenue are made
it home by women who have seen the
proverbial "better days." The work re-
;uir s nicety of taste and skill in needle
work. Designs and materials are fur-
ni.-hed sometimes by the shopkeeper,
sometimes by the women that do the
work. The largest shades are made over
arasol frames. The materials entering
into the work are silk, satin, lace and
irtihcial flowers. Prices cf the more
elaborate shades vary from $16 to $50,
so that he cost of a handsome lamp
fully equipped may run up to "00. In
tome ca.-es milliners aiso maxe lamp
shade, and the fact that they are able
to utilize remnants of silks and of other
mat' -rials gives them a peculiar ad
vantage in this business. New York
