The New Gunboat Proves to Bo Entirely Satisfactory. Philauephia, Pa. Fck 14. The Unit tel States guuSoat Yoiktown returneil C this Hioi ntn fioin her trial cruise down DiLiwaro bay and out into the ocean. Commodore Fitzhugh 6;oke generally in high praise of the craft. On Wednesday the run was mud a straight away out to tea, and in coming back ths Yoi ktown made the run in four hours with a forty knot breeze dead on, an I bdi-ivcd ad mirably. Captain Steel s tid she did not roll or pitch, and he never had a vessel that was more plumb or steader. In an other four hours' run she made an aver age of 15.83 knots per hour, or about twenty miles, thus proving her to be a very fleet ocean crafts, as well as a re markably uteady one. The engines of the Yorktown proved to be perfect mar vels for steadiness aud power. Each engine on the regular test recorded 157 revolutions per minute, implying a horse power far ahead of the contract require ments, but the exact sum of which can not 1)0 given for somj time, or until all indicators can 2 computed and dif ferentiated. The ship was tried in eyery conceivable way, in river, b;iy and ocean and was particularly maneuvered by Caprain Steele, un I r direction of Com modore Fitzhugh, as if engaged in battle. She answered every movement of the helm promptly and moved with the most satisfactory celerity, all the time steady and solid, so that guns might be used with the very best effect in action. One of the marvels of these maneuvers was the starting of tlu J Yorktown ahead at full speed. ThU feat was accom plished in onu minuto and ttfty saven seconds, an extraordinary result under any circumstances. While at soa tha sails were tested, and it was found that in this particular, tha ship was as trim and complete as in any other. The officers and crew, from tho commodore down to the stokers, are loud in their praiso of the Yorktown, and believe she will prove the pride of the new American navy, ftt least until the mamoth cruisers, B tlti more, Philadelphia and New York shall come fortli to bear the American flag. Commodore Fitzhugh promptly an nounced the general result to the secre tary of the navy. There seems to be no doubt his report will be entirely favor able, and the gunboat Yorktown will be be accepted, and prepared at once to receive her command. Situation In Samoa Auckland, Feb. 15.

The Proposed Route for the Annual Summer Trip In the matter of the Nebraska press ex cursion for the coming summer, the chairman is pleased to announce that arrangements are working smoothly fot a trip to the Yellowstone national park, and perhaps Portland, Tacomn, etc. Thus far, judging from letters received, it seems to bo the preference of the edi tors to journey northwestward rather than north and elsewhere. It is urgently requested of those who anticipate going that they notify L. Wessel, jr., chairman, at Lincoln, as eoon as convenient, also stating the direction they prefer visiting, An excursion to Portland, Tacoina and Seattle, with a trip by water up the beautiful Puget sound to Port Townseud and Victoria, could be made at a very small expense, the time consumed being about twenty days. The proposed plan is thus: Omaha to St. Paul via F. E. & M. V. railway, St. Paul to Portland via Northern Pacific, stopping at Butte, National Park, etc., en route. Thence from Portland to Tacoma, Seattle, Port Townsend, Olympia, W. T.. Victoria, B. C, etc., returning via the Union Pacific through Huntington, Shoshone, Ogden, Salt Luke City, Denver and on home via the Burlington. The chairman of the excursion committee having visited that section last spring recommends it as a most pleasant trip. The people of that vicinity are ever watchful for -visitors and never fail to royally entertain their guests. It i3 a new country and a de lightful one, having a similar climate to California, although not visited by the extremes that make portions of that state so very unpleasant. Editors should give this their early attention aud send in their views. It is expected that the party will start about July 1. State papers please copy. Killing Rats. A writer in Chambers Journal repeats the method which is in quite general use here for tho extermination of rats. Tliege animals aro tho wisest of domestic ver min, and any means taken for their de struction is, as a rule, quickly discovered by them; if not, tho terror alono engen dered by the ever diminishing tribo is sufficient to cause them to t!eo the mys terious power which haunts theui. Tak ing advantage of this trait tho writer in question constructed n trap for tho tats. This was a water barrel carefully con cealed. On the top was a trap door (simply balanced by a pivot in theccnterj, and beyond thjs some food was placed for which the rats had a utrojig liking. They could only get to this by walking over tho door, and in order to entice them, tho door wa3 fixed for about a week; then tho lxlt was drawn, and for several nights a plentiful supply of drowned rats rewarded tho ingenuity of tho rat killer, and the remainder of tho colony eouglit afresh woods and pastures new." . A Valuable Mannsrript. The Star states that the original man uscript tf ' Dickens' story, "Our Mutual Friend," in said to be in the possession of Mr. G. V. phjlds, of Philadelphia, who is reported to have refused 1,CQ for jt. The fctory of this manuscript is rather remarkable. "Our Mutual Friend" was reviewed i:vT!u Times Ci'eat K'"St, and in most laudatory ternia by tl late Mr. Dallas, who had previously informed Dickens that he had undertaken to do justice to "the new book" in that jour nal, the notices of v. hicli t snied great weigitt in those da3-s.

"No, George," faltered tho maiden, "1 fear it cannot be. I admire you a3 a gentleman, I respect you as a friend, but" "Laura," he exclaimed, "before you pass sentence hear me out. A recent lucky Btroke in business has enabled me to buy a beautiful home on Prairie ave nue, which shall be in your name. I will insure my life for $25,000, and' "George," calmly interposed the lovely girl, "you interrupted me, I was about to say that the sentiments of respect and esteem I feej for you, though so strong, are feeblo in comparison with the deep love which which I which I have long don't, George, dear!" For George had interrupted her again. Chicago Tribuna, Supposed a Case. A small boy entered a Fourteenth ave nue grocery the other day, and asked the proprietor to trust him to two cents' worth of candy. "I don't know ypu," was the rep?. "But I live just two blocks down." "But wliat made you suppose I'd trust you.- "I sup)xrcd so because you've got two barrel;? f kerosene out doors and I could have boted gimlet holes in both of them last night without anybody knowing if. The grocer compromised by trusting the boy to a cent's worth of candy and rolling the barrels into his ghed, Detroit Free lesa. I'um la All Ulght. The cat has ever been regarded as a mysterious creaturo and has of a conse quence been shunned, as amateur swim mers avoid deep holes, by tho youth of our land in their literary efforts. Tho dog and the horse aro notoriously what are termed "old stand bys" as subjects for composition, but it is noteworthy that tho cat, though even more familiar to all than either of the aforementioned ani mals, is neglected in all Friday afternoon literature. The kitten is much beloved by reason of its frivolous and gay nature, Its propensity to amuse itself with any lujht object or, in default of other mov ables, its own fleeting tail endears it to ail young arsons, but there is an un natural gravity and air of absorption in deep philosophical matters about the mature cat which is forbidding, not to say awe inspiring. It may be that its un canny nature has caused it to be associ ated with witches. Certainly its habit of being out ut all hours of the night gives color to the suspicion that it is a baleful beast. A cat acts as if it lcnrw that the disclosure of its secrets would result in death to all its kind at the hands of an enraged humanity. Now there is some thing frank and open hearted about a dog. He may bite an enemy, but a cat will scratch its dearest friend. A dog cannot keep a secret. A cat never tells one. Chicago Mail. The Purls Kxecutloner. There has been considerable talk about Deibler's want of dexterity in dispatch ing Prado. After every execution we hear the same thing, for Deibler is a little, hesitating man, with anything but an impressive way of doing business. His appointment as executioner caused many heartburnings, for, when Hein drichs died, there were 300 applications for the post. Deibler has married the daughter of Roch, the previous "Mon sieur de Paris." He had also served as assistant to Ileindrichsand had made several important improvements in the mechanism of tho guillotine. Consider ing his familiarity with blood, ho is a very nervous man, and ho has never for gotten Tropman's biting off Heindrichs' fingers during the operation of adjusting the lunette, Tho fact is that it is very difficult in tilting the bascule to so work it that the neck of the condemned man falls exactly into the hollow of the lunette so that tho blade should strike in the right place; but Deibler was only a quarter of a minute in fixing Prado, though, nq doubt, it seemed pauch longer to tho waiting crowd, and to Prado. Paris Cor. Pittsburg Chronicle. Flies and Wolves. When visiting a friend last summer he called my attention to a curious plan for preventing ne pjaguo 01 tiles In Ins hous. Tho upper 6ash of one of the windows in his sitting room being open for ventilation,' there was suspended out side a piece of common fishing net. My friend told me that not a fly would ven ture to pass through it. He has watched for an hour at a time, and seen swarms fly to within a few inches pf the net and fher, fiftar bussing about for a little, de part. He told me tho flics would pass through the net if there was a thorough light that is, another window in tho opposite wall. Though the day was very warm, I did not see a single fly in the room during my visit, though elsewhere in the town they yere to bo seen in lAinuancq. 1 suppose tney imagine tne net to be a spider's web, or some other trap intended for their destruction. My friend mentioned the curious fact thai tn Russia no wolvt j will pass under telegraph wires, and that the govern ment are utilizing this valuable dis covery, and already clearing districts of tho country from theso brutes. Notes and Queries. I".t;-::orlirjr- fftr.-i.p Ocvutln, Tii'- rot-i.!crce of Enoch McMahan, an eld rind highly cutocmrd farmer, near Anderiio.i. Ind.. war, burned. All the family, except the oi-.l man. were away at Kingin;? relna;! r.t the than, and he perished in !!:- names, his half consumed body being dragged from the burning building with piles by tho first persons to arr(yo after tho ilrp was discovered. It has been a question as to whether or not the old man was murdered and the house robbed and burned to conceal the crime. Lcastwis?, when the neighbors gathered they found Undo Enoch's dog, Mingo, howling dismally about the burning building, and from that day to this the faithful animal lias never left the place. Tho house was never rebuilt, and no one has since lived on the farm, yet "Mingo" lingers about the ruins and until recently slept in rain and snow. For months kind hearted people carried him food and water, and they built liim a comfortable house on the spot where his master was burned, and like a hermit he staj-s there day and night, despondent and melancholy. Indjanapoba News. A. Long Minins Tunnel. The longest mining tunnel in Montana has been begun at the Jay Gould, in Lewis and Clarke county. .Jt is to be 4,300 feet long, extending directly into the mountain, and will involve an ex penditure pf 550,000 and will require sixteen months for completion. . It is being driven 500 feet below the lower level, or over 1,000 feet from the sur face. When this work shall have been completed an upraise will be made to connect with the main workings, which at present comprise 8,000 feet of levels.
