New York Jfail and Express: "Our Irish Visitors' is all that it pretends to be. The audience laughed and ap plauded immoderately." Fraak A.

Yesterday morning just before day light fell the first snow of thr season. There was barely enough to cover the ground but the boys had their sleds out. Diedrick Kloeke the man charged with liberating Quinn Bohannon from the Nebraska City jail, the 22nd of last June, and who has been having his trial in NcSraska City was found not guilty Wednesday. New York Times: "Murray & Mur phy never made a greater hit. Theirs is the gymnastic fun, and it is good gym nastics. Everything they did woke an applauding Bedlam. When the audience were not laughing, they yelled for the love of it." Weary and worn as a tortured soul, a bird sat high on the northern pole; it Happed it. wings in a dismal way, and tried to make out it was blithe and gay. Its legs were froen, its feathers gone, its eyes were bleak as a winter dawn, and it sadly gazed at the wastes below, at the Arc tic sea and the Arctic snow. - Across the ice from i's frozen lair, came wandering slow a polar bear. It saw the bird and it saw the pole, and a smile of pity old Bruin smole; he cocked him self on a frozen chunck, and a wink sug gestive old Bruin wunk. And he said: "Sweet bird, how came you here, to these realms of ice and these regions drear?" The bird replied: "Have mer cy, I pray, I'm only the turkey that got away." From "Hyperborean Harmon by It. D. Steam. TilE )MILV THE BROTHERHOOD BALL. It Proved an Event Complete In Every Particular. Wednesday evening Stone Ballast lodge of the B. of L. F., gave their sec ond annual ball in the Waterman opera house, which was a grand success. To make the hall attractive and still live within lodge (railroad) emblems and c ol ors a very successful effort was made. On the stage, painted natural size, on canva-j hung a locomotive, the headlight glaring so plainly and every part so perfect, even to the escaping steam, that it looked real and was greatly admired. The Bohemian orchestra which fur nished the music for the evening were seated immediately in front of the loco motive. Over the stage hung fifty-four lanterns giving out red, blue and green lights, aud these were arranged to form the word "welcome", which lent greatly to the originality of the decorations. On the center of the stage stood the charter of the lodge with a pick on one side and a shovel on the other, ' and glaring out from each side of the stage were head lights which were taken from B. & M. II. K. engines. The gas fixtures extend ing from the balcony were each decorat ed with a red and green lantern, and strips of red and green bunting were draped from the center chandelier to the four corners of the hall; from one of the strips, extending over the front of the hall, hung a blue banner with the letters "P. C. S. I." in the corners, and the in scription "B. of L. F. Stone Ballast Lodge, FNe. on it. The balcony was draped in red bunting, which on one side bore the inscription "Stone Ballast Lodge, No. 32S'' and across on the other side was "Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen." Under the two boxes were the letters "B. ol L. F. No. 328" and "P. C." on one side and "S. I." on the other. The programme f t wenty-six dances opened with the grand march at 9:20 and continued until 12 when supper was called. The supper was furnished by the ladies of the St. Luke's Guild, aud was complete in every respect, adding greatly to the evening's success. From supper dancing continued till 3 a. in. The attendance was large and everybody enjoyed the evening, quite a number being spectators from the gallery. One pleasant feature of the evening, and one which pleased the guests, was the pre senting of a beautiful button-hole boquet to each guest as he entered the hall, and another feature of the evening which was novel and original was the ringing of a Car bell to announce the time for each dance, and was followed immediately by the music from the orchestra. The success of the evening was equal to all expectations and the efforts of the boys to please and attract will be remem bered to their advantage till the timo of their next entertainment. It might be well just here, and not out of place, to explain the name of the Plattsmouth lodge, "Stone Ballast". As we understand it the title is derived from the manner of the buib' mg the B. & M. road near Plattsmouth. especially between here and Oreapolis. that is, with stone ballast. This stone ballast is the broken rock of which the road bed is mostly made, and which makes it substantial and lasting, hence the name. C&ke Ornamentation- A few years ago cake ornamentation was a very simple affair, but now it has come to b3 a fine art. The most exquis itivc designs are seen, but in this article we shall aim to discuss inex pensive styles and those that can be used by the non-professional. Cut from writing paper (unruled J flowers and leaves. Dip them in white of egg not frothed, and then sprinkle with granulated sugar. It is best to use a sifter. Allow them to dry and then arrange on top of cake. Very pretty. I;e your cake on top and sides and when nearly dry, stick in blanched al monds with points upwards, large raisins, and lav here and there thin strips of fig. This called the rustic cake, and is very beautiful. A cake iced with either white or pink icing and English walnuts placed here and there on the top is a pretty styh . Slices of orange also look well. Try covering the top layer with a thin coat of icing and then sprinkle it with crushed rock candy, pink and white. A bunch of crystalized grapes look charming, laid on top of a cake. The grapes are to be dipped in frothed white of egg and then dusted with sugar and allowed to dry. A small boquet of choice cut flowers be placed in the centre of a cake, the ends being concealed in the open space. Nothing can be prettier than to have a cake iced top and sides and covered thickly with cocoanut prepared on a re volving grater. It resembles fine curly shavings. No words can convey to you an idea of the delicate beauty of th's do- sign. one ot tue prettiest center pieces lor a "company supper" is tliis: Bake twenty four small cakes in muffin rings. Ice half of them white and half pink. Ar- ran cri tVipm nltprntflv on A larcrfl crl i- t stand in the form of a pyramid. Worn- Work. HERALD, PLATIfotTTK, CONTEMPT COSTS CASH Tne Lincoln City Council Fin ed by Judgo Brewer. There was a great crowd congregated in the court room at Omaha Wednesday morning to hear the decision of Judge Brewer and Dundy in the celebrated Lincoln contempt case. Inside the rail ing were assembled almost the entire bar ot the c ity, tog tlier with a host of legal representatives from Lincoln, while the c ity council of the latter city occupied the chairs ou the juror'B bench. The court room proper was packed with an interesting throng of spectators, while the aisled uud corridors were packed with those uuubln to obtain seats. Judge Brewer's decision was very long and speaking of the council and passing the tines, or tcutoncc, he said: They are gentlemen of character and position. Tin y represent the second city in this state, as I am advised, in wealth, in population aud in business. They are the council of the capital city of the state. If the court should say that men occupying so high a position can disie gard the process of the courts, what may we expect from men having no such backing of position, respectability and influence? Can w ask the poor friend less man to obey the process of the courts if nit-n occupying positions such as these gentlemen do, ilo not? Am I not com pelled by the very fact of the respectabil ity of the gentlemen, of the position that they hold, to impose such a fine as shall be a lesson, not merely a punishment to them, but a lesson to all. Three of these gentlemen voted against taking up these matters. Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Burks and Mr. Cooper. The lines imposed on them will be $50 each The mayor had no vote, but was en joined from appointing an officer; he had nothing to do with the removing of the petitioner. After that removal was accomplished, although the mandate for bade him io make an appointment, I can well see how one, might say that here is a vacancy of ofhee not by my action, I cannot leave the city of Lincoln without a police iudjre. and so acted. The same tine will be imposed upon him. Upon the other eiht the fine that will be im posed will be $G00 upon each one. The order will be that they pay this fine and the cost of the proceeding and stand committed to the custody of the marshal until it is paid. Judge Dunday followed and in a terse and decisive way concurred in the pin ion of Judge Brewer. A summary of the determination of the court is that Mayor A. J. Sawyer, Coun cilman J hn M. Burks. Joseph Z. Briscoe and Joseph Cooper pay a fine of $30 each and that Councilman L. W. Billingsley, L. C. Pace, Robert B. Graham. F. A. Hovey, Granville Ensign, John Fraas, II. II. Dean and John Dailey pay a fine o? ?C00 eae.h. and be remanded to the custody of the United Stats marshal un til the same is paid. Four Dollars In Cold. Leo Scbebcn, the agent for W. J. Lemp's western brewery, of St Louis, Mo., arrived in Omaha Wednesday, and produced a curiosity which has been a marvel to the bankers of that city. "It is a coin of gold sligthly smaller and linhti-r than the fiva-dollar piece, fash ioned into a wcd-simulated imitation of United States money. In weight it is one-fifth less than the half-eagle, the milling and minting being excellently done, the features on the Goddess of Liberty in beauty and clearness greatly exceeding those of the five-dollar piece. On the Liberty side there is a combina tion of stars and letters around the edge, one of the letters being between two stars and reading in consecutive order, 'G. C . G. G. S. 7. C. 7. C. It. A. M. On this side tho coin bears the date of 1879. On the reverie, the principal feature is a itar, on which are stamped the words, one Stella. '400 cents.' Surrounding the star is the? Latin words 'E Pluribus Unum, Deo est Gloria., There is no knowledge of a four-dollar gold piece in United States money, this one bears the impiiut of the United States mint in every feature. It i3 claimed, however, thai in '7S seventeen of these coines were struck off and one of these got into Mr. Scheben's posession. He has already been offered $100 for the curiosity." Bee. The doll carnival to be held at the opera house this evening bids fair to eclipse anything of the kind ever held in Plattsmouth. The ladies are hard at work arranging and decorating the hall in the most tasteful manner. Besides the dolls there will be coffee, milk, doughtuuts and popcorn for sale while the ladies sewing society of the church will have a table with many useful and ornamental articles which will he sold at reasonable prices. An admission fee of ten cents will be charged at the door and everybody is invited to come and help the Sunday school. While passing up or down Main street you will be well repaid for the time it takes to look at the Xmas and New Year cards displayed only to-day and to-morrow in Phil Young's show window and comprising the finest line ever seen in Plattsmouth, and only a pinall part of the stock displayed in the store.

'gWlASKvr, FRIDAY, XOVEMJJKIt 25. 187. He Wants Out. One of the prisoners confined in the county jail, Herman Strate, who was put under $200 bonds at Louisville several weeks ago to keep the peace, and being unable to givo it was placed in jail here, is very anxious to get out. He i.s a strong built man and calls himself "Sul livan" and apparantly is notexactly right in his mind at times, having mad, or at least pretended to make two attempts at his life since being in jail, and has been seen to Htnke the bars with his fist as if to break them. Wednesday night he got up u scheme and attempted to execute it to make his escape. When Jailor Malick entered the ail that evening to lock tho prisoners in thor cells for the night he glanced at the wash-stand in the corroder, of which he has always been suspicious since the break for liberty make last summer, and noticed the door stood open about two inches and he could see a shirt which ap- parenuy naci some one in it Put it was toodaik to distinguish whose it ;vns, But Mr. Malick with his usual coolness, locked the other prisoners in their cells and then walked to the stand pulled his revolver and called the man. Immedi ately "Sullivan" came out of his conceal ment in a fit of anger at his discovery and declared he wanted to die and called for poison, but Jailor Malick shut him in his cell to let him cool down The plan to escape was about as well made as could be, "Sullivan" having re moved his boots and coat so that he could slip up on Mr. Malick without any noise and seize or strike him, and his boots were strapped together and every thing was ready for a hasty departure, bu' the cubby-hole under the wash stand was too small to conceal and the jailor's eye was too watchful to be deceived and "Sullivan" remains a prisoner. The Cop's Hard Life. "A policeman's life is not a healthy one," said ono of tho lynx eyed, sadly, "and tho sound men on tho force arc few, verv few. When I first went ou I was a3 healthy as a man could be, Lut 1 can t run two blocks now without being windod. Tho causes are many exposure, to all kinds of weather, over exertion and irregular hours. I know many of the men who would wish they had kept oft tho force, but when a man oneo gets settled it is hard work to do anything else. Ho is like a soldier, a mere machine, and only fit to obey orders. I know there are lots of fun made of the poelcr, and there must be duffers on every force, but the majority are good mi and try to do their duty. But it is a hard life, and u man who does not break down must be made of iron. Buffalo News.
