In my last report for Aug. 1887 the

fore dirt showing what kind of dirt was
dried np after so much rain.
Instead of making remarks on the
weather and temperature I am going to
write on the different ways of how the
farmers in different states of the union
call their domestic animals.
In Pennsylvania it is with pig, pig,
peggie, piggie,calling their hogs at feed
ing time. The North Carolina farmer
calls pig-i, pi?-i, dwelling each time on
the i. Hoosier yells, who-ee, who-ee and
and his pigs come on the jump squealing.
The buckeye farmer coaxingly soo, soo,
soo-ooo. Now I am a buckeye and I
dont pretend to call hogs that way; I
call pig! pig!! pig!!! and they come on
the run crowding each o-her at the
trough selfish, greedy pigs. Kentucky
farmers cry poohe, poohc. I suppose it
makes no difference how you call the pigs
even if you cdl them in Latin and Greek
they come all the same. Continued.
Main street and her decorations are
beautiful to behold. All along the
street in front of the business houses is
planted, on both sides, a row of forest
trees and large branches, which are just
now arrayed in beautiful autum shades,
and the buildings are decorated in a
tasty manner with flags and branches.
But the most attractive of the decorations
are the two large arches on Main at the
corners of Third and Sixth streets. They
are covered, also, with autum leaves
and flags, and painted inr red, white and
blue, while in the middle of each is a
wooden harp painted in colors, indica
cativeof the kind of entertainment, and
to the right and left of the harps are
words of welcome. On the west arch, in
English are the words "Nebraska San
gerbund" and "Welcome guests," while
on the cast arch in German, are the
words, "Let's hear your songs," and
"Welcome singing brothers."

DERVISHES OF CONSTANTINOPLE.
geeno Which Are Likely to Affect the
Nerves of tlio Spectator At the Clowe.
Those dervishes hold their "services" In a
Bort of square hall around which is a wooden
gallery provided with a few benches for vis
itors. Tho drrvLsbwi tbemselvc sat lirst in a
row on tho floor at one end of the hall, oppo
site them the emir or high priest. They were
clothed iu lonjr cloalM and wore heavy felt
turbans on their hoada. At first both their
gestures and voices are moderate They sim
ply sway toward tho ground, intoning u spe
cies of litany. Now and then tho voices rise
into a shout, and tho call ufon Allah and tho
word "Bi-siiiilluh'' are distinguished among
the unfamiliar Turkish sounds. This lasts
pome time, and one is iH'giiming to wondtr if
this is all when it stops. However, they njl
rise, and now, as the Germnns say, "es geht
los." Each man contorts his Ixxly as best
pleases him, some throwing it violently back
ward and forward, some twisting it from
side to tide, some turning their heads with
such a velocity that the eyes almost start out
of their sockets.
Soon the perspiration begins to stream from
their faces; an attendant goes about and re
lieves first one and then another of his tur
ban, which he kisses as ho receives it, supply
ing in its placo a white cotton skull cap,
which the dervish draws on without desisting
from his frantic motions, accompanied by
incessant measured stamping on the floor,
violent cries or almost unearthly groans like
a sound from some pursued and exhausted
animal. Tho nerves of tho spectator
become so affected at last that it
seems as if his own head must liegin to
bob and his limbs to contort themselves.
Every minute you think that the "ecstasy"
into which theso men have worked themselves
must hurl one or tho other of them in a fit
upon the ground; you actually desire that
something awful and worth so much effort
may occur, and you feel disappointed when,
at a given signal, thoy stop short and stand
there jerfectly quiet, wiping their faces as if
it were merely a warm day. In former times,
when a certain pitch of frenzy was attained
they used to cut themselves with knives.
This has now been forbidden by tho sultan,
although the instruments formerly in use still
decorate tho walls.
The emir himself took part in the latter
part of the performances, and it is not neces
sary to be a dervish to participate in them.
Various laymen howled ami twisted with tho
othors, and a certain Turkish officer has mado
himself quite famous with his strength of
voice and suppleness of limb. I forgot to say
that they aro continually incited to fresh ef
forts by a professional "singer" a Turkish
youth who sat upon tho floor and screamed
at the top of his lungs. At the closo of tho
performance persons afflicted with rheuma
tism or other similar diseases lio down and
let tho emir walk over them. Children also
aro laid upon tlio ground that he may step on
them ; one of these was a little girl not more
than 3 years old. This tread is supposed to
impart both healing and holiness. Very dif
ferent from the howlers aro their brothers,
the dancing dervishes. Theso simply form
themselves into two or three circles, nnd,vith
outstretched arms and air filled skirts, turn
and turn, like so many tops, concluding with
the samo graceful composure with which they
began. Constantinople Cor. Springfield Re
publican. Difficulty of Convicting IJrlbers.
"I had an opportunity once," said Johnston
Beggs to a St. Louis reporter recently, "to
find out how hard it was to convict a legis
lator of bribe taking, or another man of
bribe giving. 1 was foreman of a grand jury
threo years ago which was investigating re
ports that a railroad bill had passed the houso
of delegates by bribery. Wo had a largo
number of witnesses before us, and when wo
got through with our work every man of us
was firmly convinced that at least twelve of
these delegates had taken bribes. But we
didn't indict a single one of them, because wo
knew that a petit jury would not convict on
the evidence we had. The delegates and tho
corporation agents who did tho bribing man
aged their transactions so cunningly that all
the evidence wo could obtain was purely cir
cumstantial, as long as tho bribers and the
legislators kept their mouths shut.
"Wo found that in all tho cases of bribery
tho negotiations were conducted in tho sarne
way. First the man who was managing tho
bill got a lobbyist and intimated to bim that
he wanted the delegate's vote. The lobbyist
made his own bargain with the legislator, and
on a certain day, at a certain hour, both
would be seated together iu a private office
with two entrances. When a peculiar knock
sounded on tho door tho two would leavo tho
room and go into the other. The railroad
man entered, put a bundle of money in tho
pocket of a coat hanging on the wall, gave a
signal rap on the table and went out. Tho
lobbyist and legislator returned, got the
money and made their divide. The legislator
and the railroad man hadn't seen each other
and possibly never knew each other by sight,
but the delegate had his money and tho other
had the vote he wanted. Of course, any del
egate mixed up in this sort of a transaction
would be convicted of bribe taking in any
honest man's mind, but an incident like this
couldn't be conclusive evidence against a leg
islator in a court, and that is why our grand
jury didn't give the public then a big scan
dal." Chicago Times.
President Pierce's Fine Horsemanship.
Frank Pierce was a fine horseman, and
when the World's Fair was open at New
York, in July, 1S53, he appeared at the morn,
ing review of tho troops on the Battery
mounted on the full blooded charger Black
Warrior, owned by 11a j. Merrill, of the
United States dragoons, then past 21 years
old, and cherished for tho long and faithful
services he had performed. After the review
tho procession was formed, and proceeded up
Broadway. Everywhere were crowds of peo
ple eager to greet the president. The side
walks were densely thronged, the windows
were filled to overflowing and there were
multitudes on the housetops. After the troops
and the president and his suite came, in car
riages, the mayor and common council of tho
city.
Shortly before the procession reached tho
park a shower of rain, which had somo time
threatened to fall, came down with great em
phasis, and caused a general scattering of the
spectators. Even the well ordered ranks of
the military were not proof against it, and
many of the soldiers took refuge in the door
ways and under awnings. The majority,
however, did not flinch, but bravely held on
their march, defying the pelting of the rain.
Though repeatedly urged to dismount and
take refuge, the president refused to break
up the line of march. For about two blocks
he carried an umbrella which was thrust
upon him, but this he soon dispensed with.
In company with nearly all in the procession,
he got fairly wet through, and had to change
his clothes when he reached the Crystal
Palace. Ben: Perley Poore.
