It was a rousing meeting and a good time was enjoyed by all. The riot night before last and the rain yesterday seems to hare drove almost everyone into the house and thty are afraid to get out today, consequently everything seems exceedingly dull aud quiet.

Lincoln won n garuo yesterday. It was a beastly poor one. and the only le gitimate use for such games is to fertilize. Two games like that on an acre of ground that wouldn't sprout beans and would issue one hundred bushels on corn. Lincoln Democrat. The bids on the sewer are being open ed this afternoon by tho board of public works. Several bids are in and will take considerable time to look over them so that vrn will not be able to give the name of the successful bidder today, but will give all the particulars tomorrow. The county commissioners opened the bids for the erection of a court house for Lancaster county yesterday aud it was found that W. II. B. Stout had the lowest bid which was $116,476.42, be ing $7,000 less than the architect's esti mate of tho building. The contract has not vet been awarded but it is supposed that Stout will get it. Gov. Thayer has written a letter to the Nebraska delegation in congress in forming them that the ranchmen and ir rigators of Colorado are, during the dry season of the year, using all the water of tho Platte river, thus depriving the citi zens of Nebraska, who have as much right as they, from any benefit therefrom. The Governor ask that proper steps be taken tho rights of the citrzeus of Neb braska respected and laws passed to en force their rights. It has come. We expected it. Care ful readers of this paper will remember that the J outwit predicted it. This re fers to the man who indulges in a lot of horrible blasphemy and is appropriately punished. The gentleman who received his reward this time lived at Sncc.i,Kas., and a few day ago ha did some atrocious cursing. Scarcely was the last word out of his mouth before he became violently insane and rushed olt to tne woods, since which time he has not been seen. It is to be hoped that he will establish a colony of fakes in some secluded spot, so that none of them will be heard of again. Lincoln Joutnnl. If some of there who are continually using profane language on our streets were punished in the above way wo would be relieved of many of the insults we hear every day. The newspaper u, in a very impor tant sense, a public institution, doing very much for each individual, and for the community as a whole, that receives ' neither reward nor acknowledgment. In view of thL, it is certainly as little as any man can do to give his patronage to the local publisher, who is at the same time nearly alwaya a job printer. Vet it seems to be a growing custom for busi ness men to send their work abroad. This u probably largely owing to the principle in human cature which ever gives enchantment to distance, and makes the prophet not without honor except in his own country. The men who condemn their fellow citizens for going abroad to buy their dry goods and groceries seem entirely oblivious to the fact that they are committing the same offense when ordering their commercial printing from jonva distant city Nat. Editorial Journalist. Words of Praiso- Every day new subscribers aro coming in all speaking words of praiso for The Hkkald for its fuir and impartial way of dealing with all questions and business interests of the city. Although we are aware that wo have incurred the enuiity of Borne of our citizens, it makes our heart glad to know that these words of praise are coining from good, fair mind ed, honorable men and while we do not expect to run a paper to suit every one, we are glad to have the approyal of these, among tho best citizens of our city. We are making a special effort to greatly increase our circulation and are offering good, substantial premiums for subscriptions both to the Daily and Weekly, as follows: For thirty cash subscribers to tho Dai ly Herald wo will give a first-class sew ing machine and for thirty cash subscrib ers to the Wkeki.y Uekald we will give a good watch. All of these goods to be bought of our dealers here in the city and warranted by them to be genuine. This is a good opportunity for thotte in need of these articles to make an effort to obtain them. It is a very easy matter to get the subscribers and you cannot get a watch or a sewing machine easier than this. And we will further agree that The Herald shall be kept up to its present standard of excellence. Stand ing always on the side of right and just ice, allotting to all tho free right to their opinions, oven though it may conflict with ours, and aiming to serve all in a fair and business like manner.

"This weather is not so bad for the crops as some psople think," explains an agricultural scien'ist who is connected v.-'.th the Journal in a business way. 'The rain will mak the small grain hum, tud it is knocking the chinch bugs high er than a kite. It isn't so bad for the corn, either. Farmers groul because their seed does not sprout, aud say that it is ill on account of (lie long wet spell. If they would t ike care and select the right kind of ttid tboy wouldn't have any trouble. My experience has been that if good, full, clean ears are selected as the corn is being husked in the fall and hung up in a dry place during tho win ter, the coin will come up in spite of the rain. The fellows that nro kicking ibout the rotting of the seed don't fol low this scheme. They wait until they are ready to plant, and then go to the corn crib and gather up a lot of staff that has been exposed to the weather all winter. Grow ? Of course it won't grow. It can't."

Brighton has recently en joyed the presence of a quack who, according to his own ac count, has loft it 7,000 richer than when he came, and who certainly has managed to make a very considerable sum of money from the credulous. The quack is understood to Lave begun life in America. He pitched bis show on a pieo of ground in the North Road, Brighton, which is usually let for shows. His charge for extracting a tooth (without pain) was a shilling, and four shil lings for seeing a patient: for this the patient was rubbed behind a ru:j held up by two of the lookers on, and supplied with a bottle of medicine and a bottle of liniment. The lat ter had a very strong smell, some say of tur pentine, others of eucalyptus. The quack explained that tho liniment was derived from flowers of the prairie, which had been dipped in a mysterious well ip, Mexico. The practitioner has now departed, but ic docs not say much for the common sense of Brigh 5Djj that he should have reaped so rich a har vest there. "When he was not drawing teeth or rubbing patients he iwa to drive about in a gold chariot drawn by foui- horses aud pro ceeded by a brass band. Loudon Truth.

The Outzz:;I rietnreI o: Fostajia Flumps, but Seldom Soon Alive. "Vv"haS do you call those birds.'" asked a visitor to the storo of a well known down town taxidermist, pointing to a conpls of feathered creatures, bound separately in paper, with the tails and heads protruding, and showing a gorgeous plumage. 'iln-y were dried and ready for stuffing. Tho body of each, including the head, was, perhaps, five inches long, but, throwing the tail into the measurement, either bird would have re quired a four foot tape to connect tho point of its beak with the tip of its longo!". tail feather. One of the birds had two long feathers in its tail, and the other had two shorter oues, but nature, as if to compensate r this disparity of plumage, had given the bird, that would otherwise have been clear ly nt a disadvantage, a third and middle feather that was very lo:vj indeed. Crests adorned tho heads, and white cotton had been stuffed into tho eye cavities. "This,'' said the dealer tenderly, taking o;a of them up in his hand, "is the (rueswal, or bird of liberty of Guatemala. It hi ir ha found only in a small portion of the country, and is now very rarely wen at all. A gentle man who was recently in Central America managed to secure this pair, and left tht;n with mo to bo drt-jsed and mounted, tho pjoplo down there beiag able only to dry aud preserve them. Quezml is to Guatemala what the eagle is to the United Stet s of America its national bird. Its picture, rather distorted, is (-tamped on many of Guatemala's coins, and engraved on all tho postage stamps of that country. Whether it took its name front the ancient capital, or the old metropolis was called after it, ia a question not fully settled ; but ques&al is tho title of both. The quetzal has, as you must perceive, great personal advantages over the eagle, even in its wild state, and we aro ail familiar with the bedraggled appearance of the caged eagle. "Now, the quezzal is r.evcr caged longer than a few hours. It is truly a bird cf liberty, and it dies almost immediate!;.- v.-hen captured. Its pride in its rear feathers is evidently dearer than its love for life. When one of then accidentally gats soiled or broken the bird goes to ita nest, sits down and dies. If it is caught in a trap it is always found dead, and when the young birds are taken frcm tho nest they die at oiica Occasionally a quezzal has boon captured, aud in a ft-w soeoivha restoi-ed to liberty, but the contami nation of tho hand could not bo removed with the grasp, and it dropped Lifeless to the earth before it had flown many yards. They are brought down for mercantile purposes, when the opportunity presents itself, with cry small shot fired at long range. Ths quezzal builds a round roofed ne.-;t, like the home of the wren, only instead of ouo hol-j there aro two, directly opposite each other. Thus the bird avoids tho tail breaking nec: sity of turning nronud to make its exit-. H goes in at ouo side and out at the other, au i the long feathers, which wave .gently in thd air, at resting time are slowly and cautiously drawn after it.". . .. .
