New Jkksky is apparently moving in the riyht direction in the matter of prison reform. Her state prison is crowded and more room is needed. Instead of en larging this institution and retaining the present methods of dealing with convicts, there is serious talk of establishing an intermediatory prison according to the ideas which have worked so admirably in the Ehnira Ilefomatorj. Such a plan would undoubtedly produce ouch excellent results. Certainly tin grading of convicts, so that ameteurs in crime shall be separated from confirmed offenders, is demanded by every consid eration right and humanity. X. Y. Tribune. 31k. Drimmosd is endeayoriug to se cure a re-election to th position of super intendent of our city schools and Las secured the endorsement of Mr. Shermau'f "judgment'' which ought to be sufficient of itself to kill the candidacy, la. view of the opposition to 3Ir. Drummond in this community it is not at all likely that the school board will cripple our school and impede their progress by acting fuv orablyupon the application of Drummon l It is not at all necessary for the writei of this articla to go into a detailed state ment allowing the various reasons wliy Plattsmouth people desire a change, bu it is sufficient for the school board t know that a lame and respectable th!- ment in this community have no u whatever for the present incumbent. The school board certainly recognize the fac that ths success of the schools depend;; upon the united support of all its patron regardless of politics or religion, siul tiiat when a superintendent fails to com mind the moral support of ths entire people it is time for a chauge. Taat Mr. Drumtnond is not thus abl to command the confidence and support of our citizens generally, is well known and it is for this reason among otheis that the Herald believed the cause of education would be strengthened by fi election of a man for superintendent who would not drive pupils out of the schools by his boorish manners, and who would merit ths confidence and support of th entire community. Again, the question of Mr. Drummond's re-election to the position of Superinten dent was more or less an issue in the re cent election. In fact, Mr. Drutnmond personally assured a number of individ uals that that was the issue, and as is well knowm both Mr. Winlerstien aud Wash. Smith were friendly to the inter ests of Drumtnond, while Messrs. Patter son and Unruh were unpledged, but re garded as in favor of considering appli cations with a view of selecting the beet rain for the place. Now Mr. Wash Smith is one of the most popular men in town, And his defeat by nearly two hundred mijority can be attributed to no other cause than his known position in favor of Drumrnond re-election. It is there fore for this reason that Mr. Drumrnond is unable to enlist the support of this community in his management of the city schools, an 1 for the additional rea son thattli3 last election indicated pretty trongly that a large majority of our peo ple were desirous of a change, that the Herald advocates the election of a new superintendent. 2IR. WALKER'S EXPERIENCE. HIS INOCULATED HOGS STILL REFUSE TO DIE EVES WIIEN- EXPOSED AMONG SICK HOOS ASD FED OS DEAD OSES CONCLU SIVE EXPERIMENTS. The following letter to the Western S'ochmail of May 1, an Omahn publica tion, is another contribution showing the value of inoculation as a preventive of liog cholera or swine plague. The com munication is from a well known Butler county farmer and is as follows: "Editor Stot:7;man Referring to yours of the 6th inst., asking my 'present views on inoculation v a preventive againt hog cholera,' tc, I haye to say that 1 have continued the practice with the same success eo frequently reported to thepub- 1 lie in former communications to various uevtfipapcrs, aud 1 snail continue it until 1 have reason to btop. You hay you 'want to keep swine growers as well posted ou this matter as you can, and if 1 have made new experiments, or have anything that might be of intertst to others, you would be pleased to have it.' Iu general, I have the b&me report to make us before. That is to say that in oculation is still practiced with success on my place. All the hogs that I have inoculated I have tested as soon as con venient after they have recovered and it has proven effective. I have had an experience that it might be well to relate inasmuch as it demon strates the importance of exactness in this business. Dr. Billings has always placed great stress on using the culture at the proper time, ulways urging that success would otherwise be defeated. Haying been so fortunate with my inoc ulations, it is proper to state that I was ready to take a few chances on a little experiment of my own, and I resolved to sec what the effect of this truck that the doctor had pronounced worthless would have on the pigs, aad to that end I inoc ulated a litter. I have got the exper ience, and I am happy that the cholera has got so few of the pigs. The pigs inoculated with shis culture are the only ones with a single exception that I haye lost after their recovery from inoculation. I bought a number of sows to have pigs after 1 lost all my hogs last fall, hoping to stock up witli them. I knew that I was taking chances, but it seemed to be the thing to do It proved that . it was not, for I could not inoculate them be cause of the danger of causing them to lfse their piga- They took the cholera and four f the eight or nine died. The inoculated pigs were running with them, and this litter inocu lated with the old culture were the ones that took the cholera. Four of them also died. There were perhaps fifty or sixty others inoculated, accoreling to in structions, running in the same yard, and none of them were affected. I haye another straw bearing on thiti subject. A neighbor who lost nearly all of his hogs in the fall purchased some sows that had passed through the chol era. He also bought a boar that had not. The boar, after being placed in his infected pens, took the chwlera. As a neighborly act, I loaned him one of mine that had been inoculated. This was about a month since. At this writ ing no complaint has been received with regard to cither the health or vigor of th inoculated pig. With the experience I have had I have but one opinion, that is that the manner of inoculating may bo improved, but even as now practised inoculation is ef fective as a preventive of hog cholera. It is to be regretted that Nebraska loses the services of Dr. Billings before his labor is completed. O II. Walker." A Lady's Chances of Marrying. Every woman has a chance of "catch ing a husbimd," but it is conceded that young ladies between twenty rnd twenty-five years of age are more likely to draw the matronial prizes, nowever it is not an unusual thing to hear of the marriage of a lady who has passed the three tree quarter century mark. Yet. how can a woman, weak, dispirited, en ervated and tormented by diseases com mon to her sex, hope to become a happy wife and mother? Of course she cannot; yet by the magic aid of Dr. Pierce's Fa vorite Prescription all thee,? obstacles are swept away. As a powerful, iuvigorat ing tonic. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip tion imparts strcngtk to the whole sys tem, and to the womb and its appeu dages, in particular. For over-worked, "worn-out," "run-down," debilitated tenchers, milliners, dressmakers, seam stresses, "shop-girls," housekeeper, uurs inr mothers, and feeble women general ly, it is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic. Unsafe. A professional "funny man" says thai ho once gave a humorous lecture at which all his audience roared with laughter, with the exception of an old man in one of tho front scats, who pre served an aspect of owl like solemnity The humorist almost exhausted himself in efforts to win one smile" from that stolid visage, and be was only relieved by hearing, after tha lecture, that the m:ui was stone deaf. At a very hilarious family party, one olJ gentleman, famous for his apprecia tion of a joke, was observed to be ab solutely bilent, even when the fun was at its loudest. His unusual soberness of demeanor first puzzled and then dis turbed hi. friends. "Aren't you well to-night, uncle?" asked a young man, finally, drawing the old gentleman aside. "Bless you, yes, I never felt better!" "You're not troubled about anything?" 'Why, no! "What makes you ask?" "I noticed you didn't smile at all when all the rest of us wero laugliing, and that'-s something new, you know." The old gentleman put hLs hand to liis mouth, and whispered: "Don't you say a word, Harrv, but ju:-:t now I can't laugh. I'm afraid to. I ve just got my new set of teeth, and I aint fairly used to 'era." Youth's Com panion. Too Much Stage Uissiug. Wo commend to amateur actors, trou bled with .bad memories, the happy idea of our friend C, writes tho "stage man" of The Baltimore American. Though a young man, he was to play the father, nd tho daughter chanced to bo a very haixlsoine woman. So when he forgot his part he could think of nothing better, while holding his "child," than to say: "Kiss your father." And each timo when ho felt his mem ory about to fail, ho would save himself by crying out: "Come to my arms, my child. The husband of tho daughter was heard to sa' that ho thought "tho author related himself vry often." OLD PICTURE SALES. Miuiterpleoen Nill for Clironio Vr'c Ite iuiul.H'iieeH of Ait Auctloua. Long before the lu!:e of Durral's col lection of pointings hud been taken from the ancestral ivalh to be brought across tho Atlantic, Mew York was noted aa a picture buying town, and many of the auction Kilos of "rare and Antique" paint ings of fifty years ago were quite as far cical a3 tlsose of today. Excellent pic tures were brought from the other side by chancre frequently, but the critical eyo of art lovers of that timo was too practi cal to allow any unduo indulgence where more than a trifling sum was asked for a work even of unusual merit. It's nothing new in Mew York that tho works of old masters should go begging for a price even near their value," said an old artist, as he proceeded to tell a story of soiuo peculiar auction sales of years ago, several prominent actors in which may bi familiar to old New Yorkers of today. In tho early forties an undersized, dark browed, keen eyed art dealer. Levy by name, opened a 6inall auction room for tho sale of paintings on Broadway, near Cortlandt street. There he sold at auc tion every Saturday night old paintings, many of which bore tho names of world renowned aitibts of past generations. Paintings of all kinds, many merely old scrolls of canvas and 6ome framed, were knocked down at prices that would not 6tagger a dealer in chromos nowadays. Ono day a traveler, whoso funds had run short, called on Levy and offered him twelve panel portraits of tho Caesars for an old song. As Levy never told what ho paid, nobody ever knew, but certain it is that ho bought them at a low figure, and on tho following Satur day night placed them in a row on the wall and asked the assembled critics, consisting mostly of neighboring shop keepers, "What am I offered for the whole Caesar family by Raphael?" Mr. Levy couldn't sell them very ea sily, but finally a bid of five shillings apiece bought tho collection. A year or two later Brett, a London picture dealer of some note, whoso spe cialty was collecting the lost works of great masters for privato collections pf the nobility, came 'to New York on a hunt for tho Ca?sars. After a long search ho found them in a small restaurant on Nassau 6treet. lie offered the proprie tors $0 for tho lot. The offer was ac cepted promptly, but two of the por traits wero missing. Inquiry developed (ho fact that the thrifty restaurateur hael used ihum to kindia a tire during a heavy 6now storm when it was difficult to get wood. The ten portrait? accompanied Brett on his voyoge back tt London, and wero handed over to a delighted purchaser for 40,000. Pierre Flandin, the old time dry grds prince, was at that time an art dealer, as were also Patf and Beau mont. At a sale in the auction room of the latter a work by Durand was sold for $250, and for days the Bale was the talk of tho town. One of the largest collectors of pic tures at that time was Luman Heed, a successful merchant who lived in Green wich street. Mr. Reed's gallery con f isted almost entirely of works by Ameri can artists. Many well known people at that time were visitors at his gallery. These pictures are now in the possession of the Historical society, at Second ave nue and Tenth screes. About 1840 Ernstpusch, a German im pjrter of pictures, brought over the greatest collection of pictures ever i n ported at ono time. In all there were 40,000, mostly by German artists, Lilt among them the works of Spanish, Ital ian and French artiste. Levy sold nearly the entire collection at auction at prices of from 1 shilling to giOQ, Tho last really large auction sale of pictures was the sale of the Robert Smith collection about twenty-five or thirty years ago. The Smith collection was mercilessly assailed pn all sides and the prices realized, with a few exceptions, were ridiculously low. One picture by Van Dyke, however, brought" a very good price. New York Commercial Ad vertiser. A Cunning Bird. Canary birds are easily trained, as we told you recently. Two of our girls send us tho following letter about one belonging to their aunt. Everybody de lights in a trained bird and there is no reason why boys and girls should not teach their little pets all tho tricks our young friends here tell us about. DsarSIr. Editor After reading about canary birds in your paper we thought you would like to hear about one our aunt ha3 in Washington. It is very tame and flies through the house, both up and tlown stairs. One day ho follow ed grandma out into the front yard with out her knowledge. She was scared when she saw lum on the step, but spoke sharply to him, saying, "Pete! you ras "cal! go in the house!" Rather to her sur prise he' turned And hopped in. When any cue uses tlie typewriter he gets on the carriage and rides back and forth, sometimes running a!ng on it as if trying to beat it He will go to a strainer when spoken to and ho never gets tired playing with any one. He will dso lie on his back in the palm of your hand and play "dead bird." Po rple often bring their friends to see him, as ho is so very amusing. Besides ho ift a beautiful singer. Philadelphia Times. ' A Frcucli PorUt. Tta ruling passion is usually 6hown very strongly in deatlu Malherbe, a fanatic for tho purity of the French lan guage, was known as tho ""Tyrant of Words and Syllables." On his deathbed ho angrily rebuked Ids nurse for the solecisms of her language. And when his confessor mildly remonstrated, Mal herbe replied: "Sir, I will defend to my vei y last gasp the purity of the French Language," Soothingly, but not in too csquisito a diction, tho good confessor dwelt on tho heavenly joys which Mai hevbe might now reckon to le within so ve:y easy a distance, but the pedantic purist interrupted severely: "Say no m-re, or your wretched stvle will dis gust me with the place altogether."
