We have made arrangements whereby we will receive the news from Lincoln twice a week and we will endeavor to keep our readers posted as to the doings of the legislaturs. The eclipse of the sun wil! occur to morrow jut before sun set. It will be a total eclipse in California, and the ob servatories of Ilaivard and other univer sities in the east have sent representatives to California to co-operate with the Lick astronomers in taking observations. There is a strong probability that the house will take a vote on the Dakota ad mission question on January 15, to which time Democrats have postponed the mat ter. The result, of course, can not be foretold with any hope of accuracy. But in any event justice to Dakota can not be much longer delayed. The Fifty-fiist congress, which will be republican in both branches, will let Dakota in as two states if the democrats of the house in the present session still prove obdurate. Globe Democrat. IIox. Nathan Goff, who was elected governor or West Virginia on the repub lican ticket is being contested by Judge Fleming, the democratic candidate. Mr. Fleming contests because it will be tried before the legislature,- which is democratic by one majority, and. he thinks he can thus defeat the will of the people. A Charleston dispatch says: " Every republican member has been urged to let nothing prevent his being on hand at the organization of the legis lature, as the absence of one or more democrats would throw the control of the organization, settlement of the guber natorial contest and the election of a United States senator into republican hands." The editor of the Sonora (Ala.) Senti nel thus asks his leaders to come forward and pay back subsriptions: It is a sad duty to us to state to the many readers of this paper that we are actually in need of a suit of clothes. We would like to attend preaching, but re main away because we are ashamed to enter the church with the suit ' that is worn daily; we go occasionally, but have to slip in tpuietly and take a back seat. This piece is not written for the purpose of soliciting some kind friend to donate. us a suit of clothes, nor some tree-hearted merchant to sell as a suit on time, but to arouse the sympathies of those owing us. We haye spent tho last dollar in our pos session to accommodate you; now come to our needy assistance, and receive the blessing that only a poor oppressed news paper man can bestow. A2T INSPIRING SPECTACLE. It is announced that the United States men of-war Galena and Yantic sailed into the barbar of Port-Au "Price, "with shot ted guns, torpedo booms, the ships cleared for action, and the crews standing jat quarters." No doubt Commodore Luce was walking the quarter deck, with rat tling sword scabbarJ. and blood in his . ( '-?ye. cc "P1" it ij added that the French govern- j " u.., uaraler of Ilti, and that, had there been ceac French maw-of-war in the harbor, it is "Sjt probable the "Hayticn Republic" would not have been surrendered. ' , It is als probable that had there been French war vessel at the port Commo dore Luce would net have been so fresh. It is the little and helpless nations, like Morocco and Hayti, before which the present administration cuts its pigeon wings. Omaha Republican.

Philadelphia Timer, A Blind Boy' Power, There- is a totally blind young man in Pine Grove, Esmeralda county, who has acquired powers that in a mer.3i're compensate him for his mis fortune. Pino Grove is situated in a dec-jnnd narrow canyon, surrounded by Iii.jh mountains, and there is not a land.riark within a radius of ten miles that, if required to do so, this young man could not walk up to. lie works in the mines as pick boy and general roustabout and at times runs a car. In that cation every ono is more or les3 famil'ar with the workings of tho mines and knows that there aro many cro-:sf tits, inclines, etc., in every mine. The Llind boy, if ordered to any por tion f tho mines to secure any tool, will rccomplish the errand in a satis factoi y a manner as would any of his fellow workers with a lighted candle and good sight to aid them. From the center of the town to the house whtro most of tho men lodge it is qui!e a long distance, and on dark iiig'it.. this young man, deprived by u see.'-iingly hard providence of so great ab' jf ;ing as sight, is depended upon toff.iide tho men safely home, .which lie i'ris, notwithstanding; that on each sido of tho narrow trail there are many prc.3jr.:ct holes and old cellars.

It 13 recorded of Juliu.i Caesar that in his owu theatre hi. passion so over- came him during tho piece that when -rt 1 1. 1 one 01 1110 ucujis urougui nun a poisoned shirt dipped in tho blood of tho Centaur Nessus, instead of pre tending only to kill him he did bo actually and threw his body over his head. In liko manner one of the earliest Passion plaj-s of which wo have any account was rendered terri ble in its result. It was acted in Sweden in 1513, in tho reign of John I I. I.rfMigi.s, the actor, had to pierce tho side of the ierson representing Our Saviour as ho hung "upon the cross. His irligious excitement was so great that bo plunged his lance into the man and killed him. And this was not the end of it, for tho king, indignant at such brutality, slew Lengis, and the people, incensed at tho death of their favorite actor, cut oil' tho king's head so at least history tells us. In more ruccnt times death has frequently played an unwelcome part upon the stage. There once was a theatre- in Lin coln's Inn Fields and here, a cele brated actor named Spillcr was, in t lie early part of the last century, mortally stricken by apoplexy while playing in the "Kape of Proserpine." A similar fate be foil no less than three- well known French actors about tho same til! le. These were Monllcury, Mon dory and UricourL i 'ifly years later tho celebrated Peg Woi'iiiiglun, when acting as Rosalind, in re peating the epilogue to-"As You Like It," was si ruck down by paralysis al ter uttering the words, "I'd kiss as many of you us hail beards that pleased me.'' From this attack she never re covered, although sho lingered for nearly three years ere death released her. Samuel Foote, the English Aris tophanes, as ho was called, had a sim ilar seizure while acting in his own comedy, "Tho Devil Upon Two Slicks," and died a few months after ward. There was a ghastly appropri ateness in the death of an actor named Pi.tterson, who for a long time was a piominent member of tho Norwich theatrical company. lie was taking tho part of the Duke in "Measure for Measure," and had no sooner uttered tho words, Reason tlius with life: If 1 do lose thee, I do lose a thing That none but fools would keep, a breath thou art. than ho dropped into a brother actor's arms and died suddenly. The tragic death of Palmer, tho original Joseph Surface, is well known. Ho was play ing in "Tho Stranger," at Liverpool. In the fourth act, alluding to his wife and children, he had just uttered tho words: "O, God! God! there is an other and better world," when he fell dead at tho feet of "Whitfield, who acted Baron Steinford. Tho singular tiling about these real stage tragedies is the invisible link that connects tho last words of the actor with-tho mo ment of his death. Cumxning was performing in "Jano Shore." Ho ex pired on the stage immediately after reciting the following lines: Bu witness for rae. yo celestial hosts I Such ir.erey aad such pardoa as my soul Accords to thee, and beyj of heaven to show thee, Hay such befj.Il me lit my Litest Lir. The explanation probably is latent heart disease brought into activity by the depressing thoughts suggested I . tho words. As, for instance, wh: ' Miss Maria Linley expired at Br.lh some vears ago while siuginT "IKnow that My Redeemer Livelh." Tho i:v stances of death on tho stago frcL culpable negligence are, unfortunate ly, numerous enough. Royalty ones witnessed ono of theso accidents ct Arnstadt. Mme. Linsky in tho codrso of tho play had to bo lired at by a filo of soldiers. The men had been in structed, before loading their nieces. to bita oO tho bullet when biting the cartridge. This ono of them neglected to do, and death was the result. A riinilar accident once happened in Dublin. A conjurer, in performing tne leal of catcning a bullet bred from a pi'itol in his teeth, handed to a young gentleman from tho audienco the wrong pistol, and tho bullet pierced nis Drain, lxlmunu ieans last ap- J - - A J 1 A pear.mcu vu iuo biago was tragical in a double sense. Ho wrs acting in "Utiieilo, " on tno Zatli of ilarcli, at Covent Garden theatre, when ho was seized with sudden indisposi tion. His last "words, as ho fell into his son's arms, were: "I am dying speak to them for me, diaries." Lon don Standard. Indian Corn tbo National Flower. T . ... - in regard to tno selection of a national flower, which, it is needless to say, I heartily commend, I was much pleased with tho selection of tho Indian corn, not only from its waving Deauty, but also because it has been used in tho early years of our com monwealth as a sirrnificant emblem of tho United States. Thomas Jefferson. as is well known, designed tho pillars m the national Uapitol at Washington, which ornament the cntranco to tho old supremo court room, now used as the law library. The columns aro Corinthian in character, tho shafts be ing carved to represent the stalks of tho maize, banded together, while tho ripened care form tho capital of tho column. Tho good taste, refinement and culture of our third president and the f rainer of our constitution should, 1 think, render Mr. Jefferson's indorse ment of this plant influential with tho florists' convention. Philadelphia Ledger. Equine Sore Throat. Tho equine family have fully as long if not a longer train of ills than tho human race. And in many in stances there is a very striking resem blance. Quinsy in a horso- is much liko it is in a human. Take diph theria also as an illustration. In tho horse it is known Bimply.by tho name of sore throat. But in merely aggra vated cases, or even mild cases, soro ibroat shows a number of symptoms similar to a nerson with the tlinht heria hole's throat is first intlamed, I and IS then follnwivl hv Hi' feHrvx . , .-.,;-- GFHY OFFICIOS. ft: ay or.
