Mr. Robert Flormann, one of the Black Hills tin men, has offered the owners of the Spokane mine f 1,000, 000 for their claim. Mr. John Shafer, a son of W. II. Shafer, of this city, is half owner of this mine. It is not Tfcnown whether the oiler will be ac cented or not as Mr. Hawk Wright, 1 who ownes one-fourth of the mine, is away and they are waiting for his return to see whether the offer win ue accepu-u ui uui. A stock extra passed through yesterday, composed of twenty three cars of very fine stock, en- route for the state fair at Lincoln If other roads do an amount of transportation equal to the H. k M. tone may well conclude that tlie stock exhibit will be complete. It is to be regretted, however, that in one car a very line blooded horse enroute for the fair, had died before arriving here. 'Pi... ffiinilv III V. II.

Mr. Wait was not well known to our citizens, but the fam ily of Mr. Malick will have the sym pathy of the community in luiiir nf sorrow. Mr. Malick dc parted this morning for Lincoln This office has received a cotnmu mention referring to the coming Irrigation Congress which convenes in Salt Lake City, September 15, 1 and 17, 1S'.)1. The object of calling the convention isto bring before the tv of better plans for irriiration, and consequently more effective agriculture. The projectors of the scheme hope to en iwi fli Hitnnort of the business mens' associations throughout the west and eventually bring the mat ter before congress, with a view of securing legislation pertaining to the matter. Doubtless pamphlets V have been received by our business ' ' moil setting forth the objects and plans of the proposed meeting, and we feel that the enterprise win ,., -if neli attention as they feel able to bestow. lolm Shafer came down from Spo kanecamp Tuesday evening. II reports everything moving along in even tenor, and says that th more the Spokane is developed the better it shows up. Ore now being taken out of the shaft at a depth of 8'2 feet essays 417 ounces of silver to the ton. Heanticipatesthatthey will soon be able to work the mine upon a more extensive scale, in which case he says Spokane will make a busy camp, for they have plenty of ore in sight to keep a large number of men employed for a long time. And there is every reason to believe that even if work ed upon a larger scale there is ore enouirh in the Spokane, of a rich paying quality, to lat for years The Spokane is a rich mine and no mistake.

Sunday morning upon entering the laundry Mr. Donnelly, the pro prietor, discovered that his build ing had narrowly escaped being burned to the ground. In the up per floor the lloor above the base ment -a hole was found to have been burned about six feet iu diam eter and the stairway and railing partly burned. The most unac countable feature is that the fire was extinguished, presumably, without aid, as no one is known to have been near the place at that time. The origin of the fire is un known, as the furnace was cool Saturday evening; besides, the lire, being about twenty feet from the furnace, could not possibly have had its origin there. The work is supposed to have been that of an incendiary. City Schools. The ntv schools opened this morning, and we are informed, that never, iu the history of the Platts- inouth schools has the outlook for l profitable year been so encourag ing. llie attendance louay ueing in the neighborhood of 1000 pupils With the repairs and appliances added to the buildinirs; with a school board thoroughly identified with our school interests; witn a complete and efficient corps of teachers oneratinir in accordance with the direction of our able super intendent, the patrons of the Platts- tnouth schttols may feel assured that their children are amply pro vided forjbut while it is necessaryto have a building will equiped, and a school board and teachers working harmoniously there is annpportuu itv for the patron to add srrcatly to the effectiveness of their lahors The parent should visit the schools frequently, keep informed as the needs and progress of the pupil ind co-operate with the teacher in enrrvniir out every wen cieiiuen plan. For sometime there has hecn a fewer number that have completed the course of study, owing to tli fact that the study of Lalm was eoinpulsary. Stiperindcnt McClel land informs us, that in order to accomodate a great number, and yet maintain as nearly as possible the same desrre of stability ami insure the irraduales of either courses training equally as inoi ough, he has arranged two courses of study; viz, a Latin and Kuglish, leaving the matter of selection optional with the pupil. The tli vi- sion. as we understood it is made for the accomodation of those de siring Iviglish and American, litera lure, hence more Lnglish language, in preference to Latin, In this all are provided for and yet the same de gree of thorough drill and pro liciency is maintained. World's Fair Notes. Siani has decided to make an ex hibit at Chicago, which shall eclipse the one it made at the Paris exposi tion, where it carried olf the honors in the oriental section. Michigan will construct its build ing wholly of Michigan material, and will send it to Chicago in sec tions. The suggestion made by promi nent members of the Xationil Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, that October 11th should be celebrated throughout the world, as the Fourth of July is celebrated in the United States, is meeting with general approval. The publishers of Puck, the well known comic paper, have been granted space, 50 by 100 feet, for a building on the exposition grounds, in which to show fully every detail of the process of editing and pub lishing a humorous paper. Henry H. Worthington has offered to furnish the exposition, Iree ol charge, pumps with a capacity of 40,01 10,01X1 gallons of water a day. The first cotton erin, made by hli Whitney, will be exhibited at the Kxposition by the Xew Orleans ma chinery Conipay, which will also make an extensive exhibition of cotton gins, sugar imlls'uud others machinery. Among the exhibits from South em California will be a model con specified in the notice.

Mr. John Herge, the genial South Ilend pedagogue, has earnestly em barked in the newspaper business Havino- bouaht an entirely new outfit of printing material and sup plies he will launch forth a bran new weekly paper devoted to the inte rests of South Hend and Cass county. We are informed that the paper will be independent in poli tics. THE HkkALD is pleased to note th s additional factor in the news paper arena, and trusts that Mr Herge will hnd the newspaper career Uotn a pieasaiu anu prom able one. The IIekald office hns received a circular descriptive of the "Turner Storage and Receptacle" a device invented by our former townsman, G. W. Turner, as an attachment to railroad cars,. for the purpose of keeping a perfectly reliable record of the car from the time it leaves the shop until it returns for repairs, Owinp- to the inconvenience that would be caused all concerned, the railroads can not always use their own cars, and upon receiving a car from another, each road must make out n statement, detailing the con dition of the car upon its arrival This is necessary so that the ex pense incurred for repairs may be rhnro-ed to the road causing the damage.

A CHARACTERISTIC LETTER Ao Epistle from Jut iiII Written Nnarty Forty Var Ago. Alnmt forty years ngo tlm staid iuhab ihttits of central New York took a ureut liking to nn aetivo young surveyor who lived in Rubury, n Ruia.li town in Dela ware county. He arose early in tin' 11101 niiiif slid trumped over the hills nml vake udj.icet t to where he lived. With his surveying instruments lie took nu-as-ureiiic nts, made iiuipn and found a ready tale for the product of his activity and brain. Althoii!;h he w:w a piiirII youth he da ! a vigorous way aUmt him that pletiM-.l the slow going fanners and deligiiie.l even the loungers about the postollk'o and grwery etuuliitied, to whom ho gave "talks" on Saturday eveningH. When he left the township and moved away for good the local prophets saw great things in store for him, and pre dicted that some day ho might have been a selectman of the village if he had remained, hut they forgot him for years and only recalled his presence when his identity with Jay Gould, the famous financier, was proved t j their astonish ment. Uoln-rt Fullurton keeps an "old curi osity shop" on Third avenue near Iiight- eenth street, where almost any queer odd sort of thing can bo discovered. Among the treiimires shown a reporter was a letter written in 1851 by this saino young Btirveyor, who could now doubt- less cash in his assets for a round f 100,- 0110,000, if ho felt so disposed. In tspito of the fact that Mr. Gould spelled "tres pass,' 'harutiuitrical" and "damage" iu a unique way and scattered capital lot ters to suit himself, the letter looksthor oughly businesslike, and It may be pre sumed that Judge Sherman loaned the "level" he possessed, and that it was re turned to him in proficr condition. Tho fact that even as a young man lie was "connected" with the Nowlmrg and Syracuse railroad showed his early long ing for the business in which lie has made himself known all over tho world. "It's curious," said Mr. Fullurton, but you will notice that ho was nut only connected with one road, but lie could not rest until he had examined another route through West Settlement and Purcs lirook. That ho did things thoroughly is evident. Tho handwriting is none of your off hand affairs, but ono can seo the exactness with winch every "t" is crossed and tho care with which, after tho letter is written, words were inserted to allow of no mistake. The politeness and auxiety in tho last para graph of the letter proper are alsoappar ent, such as an enthusiastic boy could not fall to put in, knowing that a person of Judge Sherman's position would be accustomed to respect as a judge. "He was also careful to add 'judge at the beginning, so m to give the recipient the thrill of pleasure popularly supposed to mildly shock every tiersou with a handle to his name. A postscript always adds to the effect of a letter, for a man who might thro v away a begging epistle cannot resist glancing at a postscript, and the offer of pay for the nso of tho in strument finished the note. "lie had evidently not intended to offer any money nt first, but the thought of a possible refusal and tho need of an other anneal probably settled tho mat ter, It could do no harm, anyway. her York World.

The members of the post in our neighboring town have completed all arrange meats and indications point to a successful reunion and a profitable time.

Doubtless many old soldiers from this city will attend the encampment. Tlity Wo rati I p the Drum. Among the Samoiedes and tho tribes of northern Asiatic liussia the drum passes almost to an idol. They address it, erect it in their hut, and the priests of tho superstition by tho aid or tuo ui- viuo instrument ellect that magical "disappearance" which has puzzled all travelers from Sir Hugh Willoughby downward to account for, and has given rise to as much guesswork at its eluci dation as the feats of the Indian jug glers. Tlie Samoiedo, after heating his drum and working up the senses or ins spectators to a pitch of great excite ment, mysteriously vanishes into tmn air before the eyes of all. Civilized travelers naturally hold that it is a trick. The Samoiedes themselves de clare that the power resides in the drum idol. The peculiar thing is that neither one party nor the other has been able to explain how the vanishing t occur.
