Hyan U full account is v.i'..-.ii.vAi.TFi: mi Sunday's Herald). Her husband. a , "Dick" Howard, is well known in Kan sis City, Kui liugton and Dcs Moines, Iowa, where he has run saloons, but fail cd in business on account of his wife's generosity. She would beg, borrow or steal money from her husband, and would not squander it on liuery, but ivo it to tho poor and needy. She thought no more of giving ten dollars to a person in want than thousands do of giving ten cents. She "tlew hih" all the time, but her husband was too effect ionatc and foolish to know of her doings. Her sis ter "Willie" married an actor named Scott, on thn stne, with a large audience, at the cast side theatre in Dcs Moines si few years aio. They soon separated. The family moved from Dcs Moines about twelvemonths ago, and have lately resid ed upstairs, nbout the center of the block, facing Jefferson Park, on Sixteenth St., Omaha. " 'Tis true, it's true, 'tis a pity it is 'rue," that Helen has been unfaith ful to her marriage vows for a number of years. "Dick" was her second hus b'ind. She married her first husband in Chicago and was shortly after divorced. From Chicago she went to Des Moines and married Howard. Her parents and husband are deserving of public sym pathy, because they treated her with deep ufrecMon, but her cutcness prevented them from detecting anything wrong in In r actions. We must end thia sad nara tive of the life of a misguided woman, with the beautiful words of Goldsmith: "Taught by that Power that pities me, I learn to pity them." ...;o-iirii:iii(l.,r. . s-'iiiisr Vice" " liiaUT " A.!j.!l;l!'t. i.

Q. C. Lamar, and the Plattsmouth Joiim tl; also the following: "The best results to capital are to be obtained by contented, well-paid labor, and when labor is not contented itissafe to say it is tiot well paid, because as a rule it is the pay that inspires the laborer. Low wafts and over hours makes poor work the world over." There's a boomerang being thrown in the Journal office that is quite amusing. Now that the Journal has been upholding this'rike,it would be a laughable incident to sec the same occurance taka p'ace among the Journal composing force. Anyhow, we should not be surprised if such was the case, as they are the most poorly paid printers in the city. TnE Herald pays as high as any country paper in the United States. It is also a "Union" office, where no "rat" is allowed a job under any consideration. Now, Jotra,"practic3 what you preach, "and pay your printers the same wages fis the Plattsmouth Herald. S I 0 U I S Sia 3 5 Ir XJ -OF Avoca. I.usincss in Avoca is rathe: lively now. Owing to the bad weather farmers can not do much There has been three or four sales in the neighborhood, and oth ers advertised. Things generally sell well this spring.... We were surprised on going to the homo of Mr. and Mrs. David Combs, near Xehawka. to find a number of friends assembled to celebrate tin! fifteenth anniversary of their wed ding, and a very pleasant tune we had. Tin-re was some ten or fifteen present. Among the friends were Mr. and Mrs. John Mcrdock, Mr. and Mrs. John YVag ney, Mr. and Mis. Win. Davis, Mrs. White anil others. Mr Combs is contemplating removing to the far West in the near fu- ! turf, and hence the surprise. D. Crocket. HOI Li' ALSO -OF- lipeliioeaMPalioffls AT THE USUAL -AT- Republican Meeting: There will be a meeting of the Young Men's Republican Club at the county judges office, Monday evening, March 5 h, at 8 "o'clock for the purpose of electing three delegates to attend the State Convention of Republican clubs to be held in Omaha, March 15th, and for the transaction of such other business as snail properly come before the meeting. A full attendance is desired. D. A. Cami'ekll, President. I A. N. Scli.ivax, Secretary. I am here to stay and sha 1 endeavor ; t kce, up the good reputation in the liar , n -s-s line in the f Jture asin the past nudum r :uly to supply the demand of the 14 ; t ade. . (3. ueefer successor to u. M, Wfi3 tf, roll man's New Palace. The splendid new palaco which George M. Pullman is building on Pullman island, one of the Thousand Islands group, will bo ready for tho millionaire's oi-cujiation in tho early spring. Mr. Pull man hu.4 owneil the island for several years. It is said to be one of tho most charming of tho group. An old htone house, rcj)ortod to be a colonial French convent, formerly htood on it. The house wluch Mr. Pullman is building will be unlike anything of the kind in the coun try. It is designed as a sort of private hotel for the family and a very few in vited guests. The material is stone in its natural state, put together in all sorts of shajies. A tower eight feet square and seventy five feet high w ill rise from the center of the building. On the iirst floor will be a large reception hall, dining room, butler's pantries and sleeping aiiurtments. In the dining loom will bo a fireplace large enough to roast aiox. The remainder of the house will lie divided, into sleeping apartments for guests, excepting the upjer stories of the tower, one of which will be used as a card room and the other as an observation room, where an excel lent view of tho river and the surround ing country can lie had. The interior will be of heavy oak, with massive case ments and large oaken doers. Boton Transcript. Discretion llio i;ptter I'art. The lest sort of courage is the kind that goes with a rapid estimate of chances and still has Bonie niethml in it. If Mr. Snell, of Chicago, who heard the burg lars at work in his basement, had, instead of going down to them single handed, but tired his revolver out of an upper window to summon the neighlors and the police, the sequel of that tragic story might have Ix'en different. Noise and tho certainty of detection always startle burglars, and give glietter chance to capture or even to shoot them, if this is desired. A good alarm above stairs, notifying tho thieves below that the neighliorhood was being fully aroused, would have been a much surer as well as a safer thing. The daring of Mr. L3rman Weeks, in Brooklyn, some time ago, who went down into his basement un armed to grapple with a robber, may have been a display of fearlessness, but surely was not wise. There are plenty of opportunities in life for showing per sonal courage, but in dealing with ruf fians, bent on flagrant crime and armed for their work, it is better to let the po lice in to help. A watchman's rattle is about as practical a weapon on such oc casions as a sensible man or woman iieed wish to have. Philadelphia Ledger. Daniel Drawbaac'1' Invention. It is announced that Daniel Draw baugh, the inventor, who claims to have invented the telephone, is working out something new in his workshop in Cum berland county, Pennsylvania. He has now an invention which he declares will be most useful in time of war on land and sea. It consists of an electrical con trivance by means of which the presence of large bodies of troojis on land or shipj on water can be detected within a dis tance of teu miles. A general of the army with this new contrivance in his tent can, it is claimed, tell by its peculiar motion if the enemy is near, and the commander of a war vessel can also tell the approach of any vessel, hostile or otherwise, the resistance of tho water to the approaching vessel causing sufficient friction to establish a current that will cause the indicator to sound the alarm. Exchange. London's Early Suburban Train. The Chatham Railway company, of London, recently began running a train from St. Paufstatfon, starting at 3:15 in the morning. This was done to accom modate the night workers living in the suburbs on that line. The experiment was a success from the start, and other lines have followed suit. It 6trikes us that this thing could be done in more than one city in America. There are thousands of men working in the even ing who would prefer to live in tho suburbs, could they get accommodation at the proper hour. The trains could re turn to the city almost immediately, car rying with them the marketmen and their goods, and city sleepers would not bo disturbed as they aro now by tho rattling of the market wagons coming in town at sunrise. Chicago Times. A Lion of Literary Circles. Frank R. Stockton is at present the lion of literary circles in Washington. Every device is used to persuade him to inform a curious world whether it was the lady or the tiger which issued from tho door. His wife tells of a Boston host ess who had planned to trap the author in the following way: She invited Mr, and Mrs. Stockton to dinner, and intended to have the ice cream in two molds one In the shape of a lady and the other formed a tiger. She then intended to ask Mr, Stockton from which design he would take his cream. By some chance, however, the dinner never came off, and the great question is still unanswered. Pittsburg Bulletin. The Crown Prince's Kindly Heart. The sweet and kindly spirit which trktikles In his eye when he speaks with children brings him very near, not only to the hearts, of his small interlocutors, but also to those of their parents. An eye witness relates an anecdote that is charmingly characteristic. Ths prir.ee noticed, during a etate banquet, that the court pages (who are boys of noble fam ily, from 12 to 15 years old) cast longing eyes toward the sweetmeats. He sum moned Lalf a dozen of them, made them Btand in a row, and threw bonbons into their open mouths. Haying taken the edge off their appetite, he stuffed their pockets, and sent them on their way re joicing. Cosmopolitan. BITS OF GOOD READING. Item of ien-rtii Int-rrt Cllpjied from tli Kxehittijj' ! tilt mu In l'arvo. The furniture dealer find that tln'ie is a tremendous demand for what arc -ailed hoarding house bureaus to lit In-tween a IkmI and the e:il wall of hall IkmIiooiiis in tiny modern houses. These are a new conception, the mutt astonishingly iix less one that can i imagined. Such bureaus are alxnit thrte feet long and eight or nine inches wide on top, but the draw ers, of which there are thrtv, an- ordy six inches deep and six inches high, just big enough for a tooth brush, a lii-cktie and a p.-q'r collar box. Vet nothing in the trade sells as well as they do. An old Plymouth Kock lien that had lioen for ten years the jiet of a lady in Norwich, Conn., died recently. She weighed fourteen tound.s, but was ap preciated chiefly on account of her intel ligence. She knew when it was meal time as well as a regular hoarder, and came regularly for her food, calling for her meal once a day. Of a brood of forty, she was the hen altogether lovely. She always wanted a chat with her mis tress daily, and wh ri : ' '. well would tease to bo held in her lap and rocked by pulling her mistress' apron. . There is a little girl in Baltimore who goes out into tho streets, liegins crying ami gets the imlice to try to find-her home. She gives an accurate descrip tion of a house, but when tuch a one is reached she always declares it is not the right one. The other day she kept three policemen busy all day walkingaboutth;? city with her, and at night admitted that she know all the w hile w here her home was, and could have gone to it at any hour. The old Rodgers inure in Washington is for sale. This interesting structure has many curious arsoriatious. On t!ie fidewalk in front of it Ocn. Sickles shot Barton Key. The house was cc;:p'etl during the war by Secretary Stanton, and it was there that Payne tried to as sassinate Secretary .Seward. The lot on which the house was built was formerly owned by Henry Clay, w ho swapped it with Admiral Rodgers for a blooded colt. Eight sportsmen shot over the pre served ground of Lord Mansfield at Scone, Perthshire, recently, when the extraordinary number of 1,400 head of trame fell to their guns. Of that number 1. 100 were pheasants. One of the party used three guns, which were kept loaded by two keepers, and at one spot during the day's work he had about 00 pheas sants lying around him. A Hungarian miner who was recently treated by a physician at Phcenixville, Pa., had been living for three months at an expense for food of only two cents a day. He was earning $1 a day, but ate only black bread. As a consequence his teeth were falling out when the physician began to treat him, and he was slowly starving. The Mercrd canal that has leen built to convey water from the foot of tho Sierra mountains in California, at San Joaquin, has been formally opened. Tho reservoir in which tho water is stored contains 040 acres. The canal is twenty seven miles long, and will irrigate over a quarter million of acres. At the present rate of increase in impu tation, by the ye-- H)0(J the Stars and Stripes will probablv wave over nearly 100,000,000 citizens. And then this country will begin to look forward to the time when 1,000.000.000 free citizens will look up to the starry flag for pro tection. The famous Jones county lulled buz dard was kilted at Hazel hurst, Ga., by Will Meeks recently. The bell attache-It to the bird had t ngrave I on it the letters "C. E.'" above the words 'Joiies County, G., ISoO." It has been known in vari ous parts of the state for years. A i15,000 lighthouse lens, made in Paris for the United States government, is now in Washington. It is the largest lantern lens in the country. The gla-s-work, or lens proj'i measures 1.1 feet in height, while the internal diameter is y feet 8 inches. An effectual way of cleaning a side walk of ice and snow has lt-n adnpted in Philadelphia. A rublxr hose is con nected with the boiler in the cellar of a b'.:ild;ng and a jet of live steam thrown upon the sidewalk. The ice soon disap pears. A locomotive has been sent by tho king of the Belgians to Tangiei-s as a present to the sultan cf Morocco a singularly in appropriate gift, considering that there i i not a yard of railway or tram line within the dominions of the latter. The newest method of notifying friends of marriage is to send unrds announcing it, accompanied by an invitation to caii. This is borrowed from the French, and is in the nature of a refreshing change from too much English. Berlin has a population of 1,000. 000, only 2 per cent, of which go to public worship. With nearly 400.000 people in Hamburg, only 5,000 attend service. One-tenth of the Christians in the world do, nine-iembs of the Clu-istian woik. So long as this is so we cannot wonder that it goes halting as it does. Helena, M. T., claims to have the riclu est men in the west. A list la published of capitalists who can draw checks aggre gating over 23,000,000. After thirteen years' litigation an Al bany estate has realized eighty-five cents aniece for the heirs. The lawvers got $11,000 each. The stones of the famous Temple Bar of London are now being put together to form a gate to a brewer's residence.
