Charlie Mitchell find iullivaii fought in France last Saturday. The fight con tinued for about threa bourn, and waa then declared "a draw.' There should not l? u home ia this city without a clock when one can lie purchrtMcd by paying fifty cent? a week to Shrinc-r & Co., the installment house on Main street. There are more farmer's teams in the city today than there has been since In.t summer. Muin ttreet and the street ad jacent have been crowded with hones and wagons all day. The State Teachers' Association will meet at Fremont, Nebraska, on the 2?th, 2"-4tb, and 20th insts. An elaborate pro gram will be sent on application to the Secretary, Seward, Nebrasku. The people who are an obstruction to the progress of a city are those who will not subscribe to any project for its advancement, and are so mean, that when they write a letter, they try to save ink by not dotting their i's or crossing their t's. The case of the druggist for selling liquor to a young man of this city was tried before Judge Ilussel last Saturday. At 5 o'clock the Judge said "the defend ant will be bound over in the sum of $500 to appear before the next term of the district court. There was about 400 people in at tendance at Itockwood hall last night to hear Fanning, the temperance lecturer. Every seat in the large hall was occupied about a hundred stood around the en trance, lie will lecture again this even ing, same place at 7:30. We have been asked to continue the story contained in last Saturday's issue under the head "A novel in one chapter." It is net necessary, the story is ended. It might have been continued but unfor tunately "the shark swallowed the man, and this ended the plot. Phil Harrison, the jolly, popular draymau sf this city, has lately iutro duced a fashionable waddle, now preva lent in the east. It is caused by a cask of sash-weights, weighing 140 pounds, dronbinsr on his biz toe. Although limping he is still in tho ring. "When are you fellows going to leave here." nolitelv asked one of the "Boys" of a Pinkcrton man as he strolled around the depot vesterdav. "I don't know, but I wish it was tomorrow, for we have been half starved since we've been here." There's money for whoever will build a first-class hotel in this city, Vie feci almost curtain that a gentle man of this city who returned with a young lady dressmaker to Omaha Satur day night, was married in that city yes terday. He has not yet returned. If this is true we will offer our congratulations tomorrow. In the meantime our roadeis can Cut this prophecy right out of theie columns for future reference. Halladay's Georgia Minstrels furnish ed rare amusement to an audience that packed the opera house last night. This is probablv the best minstrel troupe of negroes that ever visited Fargo, and there was much that waa new, even in the gags. The dancing was excellent and the music first-class in every particu lar. The company wa3 up to the high standard that Manager Crenshaw has es tablished. Fargo Argtis. "I'll make him go," said the fellow who knows it all, to an old farmer who had a ba'ky mule. He there upon cut a splinter from a piece of wood and put it under the animals tongue, but he would not budge. "I'll fix him," said a scientific-looking individual, as he raised the animal's tail. There was a pause, the tail came down t'whack on a nitro-glyce-rine capsole the mule moved in the di rection of Pacific Junction like a greased streak of lightning. He'll never balk again. It is not generally known that Wash ington is the most southern of the capi tals of the great nations of the Northern Hemisphere. Madrid, Constantinople and Rome are even farther north, while Paris is op in the latitude of Newfound land, and London and Berlin are on the line of Labrador. St. Petersburg is on the same parallel as Greenland, and is 1,400 miles due north of Washington. This shows rery clearly the thermal in fluence of the warm ocean currants, to which the mildness and consequent pos sibility of populous countries and large cities is due. YOUNG MAN. "Who Taught Thy Infant Lips to Pray." Last Saturday there was a terribly sad and living picture of the evils of intem perance in thu police court. Mixed in the case was that of a bright, handsome promising boy about seventeen years of age, who had been accused of being drunk. Listening to the case was a handsome, intelligent looking young woman, his sister, who seemed overcome at the pitiful recital that had brought shame on her family. The mother sat by and occasionally raised her handkerchief to her eyes, and it could be easily seen by the look of determination combined with Hues of sorrow, how she had been affected by the disgrace of her "darling boy." Mr. JJeesou for the prosecution spoke very enthusiastically and elocpuently of the evils of drink, saying: "I start out in this case with 'charity for all and malice for none.' For thirty-five years not a dram of liquor has gone down by throat, and, thank God, my son has arrived nt the age of manhood and never crossed the threshold of u saloon, but I don't know how soon he might do it; the temp tation is strong enough." Boys usually hate advice from school mast vrs, ministers or lecturers, but if that boy will take the advice of an old repro bate, one who commenced the same way in which he is now drifting, he will nev er take another drink of intoxicating liquor in his life. Let the old bums go to perdition if they want to, but you are young now, and are able to put on the curb. Keep drinking a few years longer and you cannot hold the reins of reason, your fine feelings will be so blunted that if the Messiah was again to visit this earth, he would fail to make an impres sion ou your callous heart. We will leave out the question of your health, morals and prospects, and merely appeal to the noble part of your nature, as affects your sister's regard aud the af fection of your mother, the mother who turned from pain to holy joy to wel come your coming on this earth who gave her life blood to nurse you as a babe, who watched you with loving eyes through the trying times of infancy, ris ing at all hours of night and day to at tend to your slightest desire, and then as you developed from boyhood to manhood with beauty and physical strength, how her bosom heaved with grateful pride as she proudly viewed the outline of your form and offered thanks to God that you had been spared to her in her old age. For God's sake for "your mother's 6akc don't let all those years of care aud affection be wasted. Don't break your mother's heart by tumbling over the threshold, blind drunk, when she opens the door. Plattsmouth Gipsys. As a proof of the prosperity of ourcity and the Leuutiful landscapes of the sur rounding countiy, can be mentioned the fact, that for the past five months we have had in our midst seven Gipsy fami lies, which comprise about thirty persons, old and j-oung. A portion of these live in houses and the others have resided in tents at the end of Chicago Avenue, all winter. They are chiefly "Itaiutairu,'' aud "Lee's." Every tribe have a dis tinctive name. About the most numer ous and powerfull of the English speak ing Gipsys are the Cooper's and Lee's. All the ancestors of those families have been in England for hundreds of years, some of them emigrating to this country. Their woman are at liberty to marry any nationality or creed they think fit, but that is seldom done. They have just the lime differences of religious beliefs as other folks, and occasionally attend dif ferent places of worship. The chief way of gaining a livelihood, by the men, is in the buying and selling of horses. The women are occupied most of the time in telling the maidens and married women of the city "that somebody Jovrt them; their husbands are true, their children will have a bright and prosperous future," and other stor rics, which,, no doubt, many of our read ers are aware ct. They are very sharp, keeu students of human nature,, active and healthy, po lite in manners and speech, and usually a law-abiding people; anyhow, ia this country it is an unusual thing to Bee them in a police eourt. The original tribes of Gipsys left India about the fourteenth century, and arc now scattered all over the globo speaking the language of the country in which they have taken up their residence, but all having the same color of complexion (which is similar to the Hindoos), and all understanding the Romany dialect. The Romany language is full of Hindustani words, the sentence: "ffar.i ko peni-ki pani do" (give me a drink of water) obeing very much like the words used in Romany. Thet study of these people suggests the idea of one of the lost tribes of Israel and can be furth er investigated by the religious student by studying the history of the Khtberees, Dounnees, Afreedeca and other tribes who speak "Pushtoo'' and dwell on the Himalayas near the KhyberPass, between Peshawar and Cabal ENGINEER'. WAGES- S. Snail's Sensible and Suggestive Letter- City Eeditor Herald: As your paper has shown a disposition to give both sides in the present railroad troubles a fair showing, I desire to present to you a few facts and figures which I feel certain will be interesting reading to all fair minded citizens. These I have prepared in the form of comparative rates of pay to engineers ou stated distances. At one time I was an engineer on thu B. & M road and pulled their flyer for $3,071 per day. hue in that position I uppcult-u to the B. & H. authorities to place their engineers upon an equal footing with those of other roads; and the to suuie fig ures were presented to the otliciuls of the road as a local grievance in March, 187. At that time tliu present tie up was pre dicted it' tin? 15. :c M. diil not accord to their uicii the .mine justice and recog nition shown uy other roads, under most circumstances comparisons are odi ous, and the present instance will not prove an exception to the rule in the eyes of the friend of the B. & M. Let the figures speak for themselves. Tho following is the am unt paid by the various roads to their engineers for the distance as illustrated by the following: IO.ATTSMOUTH JUNC TION TO HASTINGS. Distance, 102 miles. Union Pacific, $0.25; Chicago & Northwestern, $0.00; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $G.00; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $3.G.j; Missouri Pacific, $3.05. For the same distance the present pay of the B. & M. is $5.15. HASTINGS TO M'COOK VIA KENEJAW. Distance, 1U2 miles. Union Pacific, $5.10; Chicago & Northwestern, 4.95; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $4.93; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $4.75; Missouri Pacific, $4.75. Present rate of the B. & M. is $4.00. HASTINGS TO OKEKLIN. Distance, 160 miles. Union Pacific, $6.15; Chicago & Northwestern, $5.95; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $5.95; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $5.65; Missouri Pacific, $5.05. Present rate of B. & M., $4.25. M'COOK TO HASTINGS VIA RED CLOUD. Distance 162 miles. Union Pacific, $6.15; Chicago & Northwestern, $5.95; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $5.95; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $5.65; Missouri Pacific, $5.65. Present B. & M rate, $4.80. LINCOLN TO RED CLOUD VIA WYMORE. Distance 170 miles. Union Pacific, $6.45; Chicago & Northwestern, $6.20; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $6.20; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $5.85; Missouri Pacific, $5.85. Present rate of B. &M., $4.30. M'COOK TO AKRON. Distance, 143 miles. Union Pacific, $5.45: Chicago & Northwestern, 5.25; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $5.25; Atchison, & Santa Fe, $5.00; Missouri Pacific, $5.00. Present rate of B. & M. $4.30. AKRON TO DENVER. Distance, 112 miles. Union Pacific, $4.25; Chicago & Northwestern, $4.10; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $4.10; Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe, $3.90; Mis souri Pacific, $3.60. Present rate of B. M., $3.80. ATcmsoir to wymobe. Distance, 122 miles. Union Pacific, $4.05; Chicago & Northwestern, $4.50; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $4.50; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $4.25; Mo. Pacific, $4.25. Present rate of B. fe M., $3.90. ATCHISON TO CINCjOX,. Distance, 140 miles, Union Pacific. $5.55; Chicago & Northwestern. $5.40; Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, $5.40; Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, $5.15;Mo. Pacific. $5.15. Present rate of B. & M., $4.00. SERASJfA CITY. TO TCtEIASr Distance, 180 miles. Union Pacific, $4 95; Chicago & Northwestern, $4.70; Chi cago, Milwaukee & St Paul, $4.70; Atch ison, Topeka fc Santa Fe, $4,45; Missouri Pacific, $4.45. J Present rate of B. & M., $3.75. TABLE ROCK TQ CONCORDIA. Distance, 120 miles. Union Pacific, $4.55; Chicago & Northwestern, $4.40; Chicago, Milwaukee & St Paul, $4.40; Atchison.Topeka & Santa Fe, $4.15; Mo. Pacific, $4.15. Present rate of B. & M., $3.85. Many more comparisons could bs made, each of which would show that ia every instance the amount paid by the B. & M. road to its engineers is much lower than that paid by the compftln.-j and surrounding lines. The above rntes I haye given as the rates of a B. & M. engineer are just 8c more .than the Union Paeiric pays to its firemen. If fiarures show anything these tell an in teresting tale of the generosity of a grefit corporation. S. Snbll. FAIR AND SQUARE. A Challenge to the B & M. A letter appears in our columns today written by S. Snell, a Brotherhood man In case there might be any doubts or de nials of the truth therein contained, the Brotherhood of this city have thonght $t to appoint the city editor of this pa per one ct a committee of three to inves tigate the truth of that article. The B. & 31. can appoint another man, and '- the Brotherhood one person. They defy the railroad company to say that statement ig false. Any communications on that sub ject can be addressed, to this office or Con Connors, or J. McCoy, B. of L. F., and Engineers, Plattsmouth. If this proposi tion is not acceptable the B. & M. can appoint oae person, the Brotherhood will appoint a person outside of their order, and The Herald appoint another. The reporter is met at every turn by seme one who wants to "spring a gag." The latest is i The foreman of the round house has a terribly swollen nose." Of course the listener-thinks the big nose has something to do with the strike, and ays, "You d-m't say, how did that hap pen !' "Why, he was stung by the Om aha 2?V is the innocent reply.
