Seeley, Chairman. Secretary. "We have just received a new magazine entitled "Woman." It is filled with well written articles and will no doubt fill a place in the magazine world that hns long been felt. It is published at N. Y. and costs only $2.75 per year. The city election the other day was a very quiet affair and did not call out the full vote, yet over twelve hundred bal lots were cast which coupled with the usual percentage ef non voters would go to show that wc have a population of over 8,000 inhabitants. An enthusiastic campain would probably call out 1,500 1,000 voters. We have heard it rumored that the clans are gathering for a county seat con test this fall; let them roll boys Tns Herald wiil remain at the old stand and dispense general information at the very low price of one dollar and fifty cents per year in advance as of yore. While the daily edition, which has proved a 6tayer. will be delivered at fifteen cents per week. A substantial city of over 8,000 in habitants with but one railroad is cer tainly an anomaly in this state, yet that is Platumouth's condition today. Tut Herald has the best of reasons, how ever, for believing that ere long we will be blessed with another line. The Mis souri Pacific people will build through to Omaha this year from Union fourteen miles south of us. That is our prediction and as we haye achieved something of a reputation as a prophet we shall take no chances whon we assure our good poo pie of the building of a new line. Tub government's financial official npjear to be convinced tint 110 harmful contraction of the currency from treasury operations can result within the next thres or four months. The spring de mands on the treasury were n-1 nearly so great as thry expected, while no "pinch" is now looked for until the fall. By that time they apparently believe that the desired legislation to relieve the strain will be had. Of course the government less than three months hence will be in its new financial year, when purchases of bonds for the sinking fund can be made and interest on bonds anticipated. This will draw about $ 70,00'),000 out of the government vaults, if the interest be paid for a half year, and about $22,000,000 more if interest for the whole year should be advanced. Disbursements to this ex tent would probablx bo sufficient to tide the country over the financial breakers ntil winter at lease uiooe-iemocrai. A most valuable series of papers is about to appear in Woman, entitled "Prisoner of Poverty Abroad," by Helen Campbell, who is now in Europe investi gating the subiect on behalf cf the mag azine. The series will comprise twelve letters relating to the condition of the poor in London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, aud other leading continental ci ties, in all of which the writer visits per sonally the workshops and homes, and talks with women in all branches of la bor, in order to obtain trustworthy infor mation at firat hands and accurate knowl edge of the life she depicts. Mrs. Camp bell is especially fitted for this work, her earnest sympathy with suffering enabling her everywhere to reach the confidence f the people she encounters, and her let ters will doubtless contain many thrilling pictures of the terrible struggle for exis tence now going on in the over-peopled cities of the old world. iDTestinc in ICeal Estate. In the natures of most railroad men of Im mense wealth there is a grain of conservatism which causes them to invest more or less money in real estate. The Vanderbilts, it is stated, lean decidedly in favor of such invest ments. In England and France they have permanently invented several million dollars. The landed interests of the Goulds are grow ing all the time, and they have now surpris ingly large surru invested in first class city property. row York W or Id. Xew I.ty of Physics.

If we know all the methods of approach adopted by an enemy we are the bettei enabled to ward off the danger and post pone the moment when surrender become inevitable. In many instances the inher ent strength of the body suffices to enabh it to oppose the tendency toward death. Many however have lost these forces to su!i an extent that there is little or n help. In other cases a little aid to the weakened lungs will make all the differ ence between sudden death and manj years of useful life. Upon the first symp toias of a cough, cold or any trouble oi tlic throat or lungs, give that old and well known remedy Boschee's German Syrup, a csreful trial. It will prove what thousands say ot it tube, the "bene factor of any home."

Ways That Are Dark and Tricks That Are Vain A Successful IVddler Must Have Just Euoagh Self Confidence. Up Stairs and Down. "Good peddlers, like successful men in tho higher walks of life, are born, not made," said the particular member of the fraternity whom a reporter questioned on tho subject, lie was loaded down with rugs, door mats, feather dusters and other articles until he looked like a perambulating houue furnishing store. Any or all of the articles under which he struggled he offered to 6ell on "time pay ments of fifty cents a week," and when tho reporter gently but unhesitatingly declined the offer, the peddler looked so unutterably disgusted that the reporter offered him a chair and some refreshments. Soon the two were engaged in a conversation which brought forth the observation made above. "No," ho continued, "a peddler is naturally a good peddler, and no amount of training or trying will make a good one of a man who hasn't it in him. On tho other "hand, a good peddler is generally good for nothing else on earth. Let him try to stop peddling for any other business and the chances are ten to one that he'll make a fizzle ot it." MADE A SUCCESS. "Now, I am a born Tieddler, and at peddling I have at last made a success, where in all things that I tried before I failed. 1 went to school until I was 18, and since then that's twelve yeare ago I have been successively a lawyer's clerk, bookkeeper in an importing house, clerk in a dry goods store, driver of a delivery wagon, car driver, elevated railroad guard, waiter and peddler. It's four years since I found my true vocation, and I've done pretty well." "Does a good peddler mako much money f tho reporter asked guardedly. "Well, that depends. Now, I average 30 a week. Some, a few, make more, but tho majority make less. Anybody that's a good peddler, though, should bo able to make C2 a week without any trouble and be able to go out on Sunday for a good time." ''What characteristics must a good peddler possess?" "Oh, a great many. Self-confidence, or 'check,' a3 it is called, is the most essential. Without it no peddler ever peddled with success. But too much of it is even more fatal for his prosperity, for in addition to failure he often gets a broken head. No, he must have self-confidence, but not too much just enough, you know. Then he must bo a character reader know just to whom he can sell and whom not, who will stand a stiff price and who must be offered the goods at cut rates. "To be a good peddler you must also haro a firm, yet gentle disposition. You must al low nothing to deter you when you see a per son to whom you feel you can 6eLL No mat ter what ho or she says, you must persevere, This is where the firmness comes in. The gentleness is necessary, so that you may, un der no circumstances, lose your temper. It doesn't pay. If the door is slammed in your face, swearing will only make matters worse. The people next door -will only laugh at you. No, you must preserve a dignified silence and smile indulgently as you turn away Then you can sell to the neighbor. Her sym pathy will be aroused, and by patronizing you she thinks she can administer a rebuke to the unmannerly woman next door and shine by comparison." TJP STAIBS AST) DOWN. "Is peddling hard work?" "Trudging up stairs and down with this as sortment of goods isn't as much fun as play ing poker, but there is more money in it for the average person; and, besides, it's no harder than many other thing3 selling dry goods, for instance. I can pick my custom ers in this business, but when I was a counter jumper 1 was entirely at the mercy of any woman who happened along." "What becomes of all the peddlers?" "That question has often puzzled me. There are two things I never saw in my life a dead mule and a dead peddler. Sometimes I think that when mules and peddlers die Old Nick carries 'em off bodily as choice bits of 'cussedness.' " "Are all peddlers full of ways that lead to Old Nickf This was rather a leading question, but the peddler met it unblushingly. "Well, generally," he replied, nonchalantly. "Some save their money, but very few. I generally turn up with a big head and empty pockets on Monday morning." "Then how do you manage to buy your goods? On time?" "We don't buy our goods. We get them from houses around town that are only too willing to let us have them to sell on commis sion. When a new hand starts in he has to deposit the value of the goods he takes out, but after awhilo, when he gets better ac quainted, he can get all the goods he wants to take out. "I must go now. I just saw the red headed woman who lives across the street return. I knew she was out, and I've been waiting for her all this time. I can always sell to a red beaded woman. I don't know why, but I can. A red headed man, though, is a useless being as far as peddlers are concerned." With this parting shot (the reporter's hair takes on a russet tinge at sunset) the ungrate ful vender of rugs took his departure. New York Press, Professor and Polanders. Once upon a time a Ilarvard professor, while walking on a highway near Boston, halted to look at a gang of laborers plying their picks and shovels in repairing a rail road. He pricked up his ears when he heard tho gang jabbering Latin Like old Romans. Ho introduced himself in the same tongue, when he found that the gang were Polandcrs, graduates of the University of Warsaw, who, having found out that they were about to be arrested by the Russian authorities on the charge of conspiracy against the czar, fled to this country, where, being in a penniless state, they were glad to get employment as laborers on the railroad. Tho Harvard pro fessor interested himself in the eases of sev eral of the laborers, to their advantage, and even found a professor's chair for a blue blooded member of the gang. Tho incident was narrated the other day, when a reporter told of interviewing a group of three street pavers uptown, every one of whom was able to converse with him in five modern lan guages. Their wages are nominally $2 a day, but they are laid off so often that they can not average more than (3 a week. New Method of Sinking Shaft. The old method of sinking wells or shafts by a wooden crib surmounted by masonry walls is superseded of late in Belgium by the use of hollow cylindrical sections of cement tubing of the required diameter, smooth ex ternally, with insido collars jointed with liquid cement. As the excavation proceeds, sections of the tubing are added at the top until the required depth is obtained, when the opening is closed with a cement slab, having a manhole in the center.

The present year bids fair to be a dis astrous one from tornadoes and wind storms. This is fore-shadowed by the number of storms wc haye already had the most destructive one so far this year having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111., where a large number of buildings were destroyed or damaged. The exemption from tornadoes last year renders their oc currence more probable in 1838.
