,oagb ,a lias , taken a , a Bhoe the house r, pulled a nd rushing vn and bound informed the j intention to r- nntil he had re- w., ..I written to him by president of the republic and the minister of "justice in reply to hia appli cation for the restoration of 80,000 f rants lost in a lawsuit. Faure sent a note to the head of the postal department explaining how mut ters stood, and while awaiting an an swer barricaded his apartments. When the police arrived he called out that ho had provisions for a week, two revolvers and plenty of ammunition, and that if they attempted to force the door ho would kill his prisoner. The situation was extremely awkward. The affair bad become known in the neighborhood, and the adjacent streets were soon thronged with at least 5,000 of the towns people. A last attempt to parley with the in furiated shoemaker having proved abor tive, the police and gendarmes broke into the place, fired a few shots to frighten Faure, and succeeded in se curely taking him into custody ere lie had time to carry out his threat. They had great difficulty in conducting him to prison, as the crowd wanted to lynch him. Faure described as a monoma niac, and it appears that when A!. Car not visited Nimes some time ago he made some curious preparations in or der to attract his attention, which, 1kw ever, were but lost labor, as the presi dent passed down another street. Paria Cor. London Telegrapli. A Fleet of Whalebacka for the Atlantic. Alexander McDougall, the inventor of the whaleback boats and builder of the whaleback 6teamer, Charles W. Wet "more, which reached Liverpool Tuesday with a cargo of wheat from Duluth, was at the Sherman house yesterday. "In ninety days," he said, 'our mills for the construction of steel plates, angle irons and bolts will be completed at Duluth, and we shall immediately lay the keels for ten more whaleback boats for service on the Atlantic "We shall build a whaleback steamer 450 feet long, with cabin accommoda tions for 2,000 passengers, for service during the World's fair. After the fair is over it will be cut in two and taken to the Atlantic. It is possible that we will build more than one of these boats. They will have great speed and will be elegantly fitted out." The Wetmore, Captain McDougall added, will load with a partial cargo of machinery for the new shipyard on Puget sound, near Seattle, and will then return to New York, where it will take on material for the first two boats to be built on the Pacific coast. The Ameri con Steel Barge company, which is build ing the whalebacks, is largely composed of officials of the Northern Pacific rail road. Chicago Tribune. A Telegraph Wire for Gossip. William Tripp runs a farm near Round Lake and raises produce, which he sells to the people living on the camp ground. His wife sells excellent milk, and the couple, who are past middle age, make a comfortable living. The young folks of the camp ground are fond of visiting the farm, where they drink milk and chat with Mrs. Tripp, who, through the me dium of her private telegraph line, knows all the country gossip for miles around. Last year the farmer, finding his even ings heavy on his hands, bought a tele graph instrument and ran a wire to the railroad station two miles away. From there he extended the line to a neighbor ing settlement and later connected with two farmhouses several miles below. The farmer and his wife have both be come excellent operators, and now spend their spare time exchanging country gos sip with their friends over the wire. The telegraph operator in the railroad station keeps them supplied with the principal news items he hears from other points on the road, and there are few better in formed residents of the county than Farmer Tripp and his wife. Cor. New York Sun. A Word About the Neglige Costume. If the outing young man be wise he will not wear a waistcoat when he as sumes either a sash or waistbelt. The waistcoat is decidedly a dressified ap purtenance of attire, while the sash and waistbelt belong to the vocabulary of neglige. He should be reminded of the fate of the personage that tried to ride two horses at once. And yet this solecism is being continu ally committed by misguided youths. The effect of the sash when worn with the frock coat is an uncongenial one. The youth that paraded Fulton street, Brooklyn, a few nights ago attired in a two-color sash, a cutaway coat, white dress shirt, puff scarf and black high hat was apparently upon excellent terms with himself, but in reality about as far "out of it" as the man thai fell from the balloon. Clothier and Furnisher. Counterfeit Half Dollar. A dangerous counterfeit fifty cent piece has been sprung upon the guileless public. The piece is a beauty, and shows great care and skill in its make up. It is one of the series of 18S7 and has the clear ring of the genuine article. The main point of difference, however, lies in the thickness, which is a trifle more than in the genuine article. The figure on one side is rather obscure, but is, at the same time, nearly perfect, although there is a slight depression in the shield. Norwich Bulletin. rtdaUy Poverty Stricken. Mrs. Hayfork 1 think we'd better snake that young city feller pay his board in advance. Mr. Hayfork Ain't he got no money? w' Mrs. H. He oan't have much. He's hmn foin aT""" all day in a coat made -4&t of an old flag. -Good News. The FMhtonuble Dinner Table. The fashionable dinner table is square. It should be large enough to accom modate comfortably the number of people to le seated No more guests should be invited than will srve to make twelve people in all, on ac count of the number of pieces of china in each course of dinner service. Heavy white damask is used for the tablecloth, and this should be hem stitched all around. The fashionable patterns in dauuisk are small figures, and these mostly in the form of fine ferns, fine flowers, single rosebuds, pinks, chrysanthemums, carnations and lung grasses. In the center of the table is placed the piece of dainty linen beauti fully embroidered in colored silks, rep resenting national flowers in all their brilliancy. Upon this centerpiece is placed the bouquet or flowers, or the large candela bra. The smaller embroidered pieces, which are used under separate dishes and condiment jars, should be exact im itations of the centerpiece, and if that is square, all the small pieces should be square; if round, the same rule holds, and if the edges are serrated the edgs of all must le cut in the same ehape. Fashion Journal. Submarine Telephones. The difficulty of submarine telepuony over great distances is the fact of con siderable electrostatic capacity in the cable, the result of this being retarda tion and deformation of the electrical impulses transmitted. If a line could he made of very, very low resistance, so that the electric current would have the freest possible discharge, the evil effect of this capacity would be in part done away with. The relation between these two things has been determined in a somewhat empirical way. Calling the total resistance of a telephone wire R and its total capacity in microferads K, successful speaking, with our present instrument, is really an impossibility when the product KIl of the resistance of the line in ohms by its capacity in microferads is greater than about 10,000. In the very beat Atlantic cable KR equals somewhere near 3,000,000, so that unless there should be some totally new developments in telephony we can see at once that successful telephoning across the Atlantic is very improbable on ac count of the enormous cost of a conduct or of low resistance and capacity, if for no other reason. Electrical Engineer. A New fjse for the Ring. Whatever the measures adopted, the principle of isolation is the essence of all genuine disinfection. Its efficiency for this purpose was well shown at Epsom commpn. One of the children in a gypsy encampment having been taken ill with scarlet fever, was, along with its mother, very successfully separated from the rest of the community by the simple expedi ent of a ring fence made of rope drawn around the infected tent and regularly watched. The result was that the slow progress of convalescence was passed through and disinfection completed without further extension of the disease. The surveyor, Mr. Harding, is to be congratulated on the success of his novel and effectual maneuver. The satisfactory result thus easily attained is of obvious importance, and the simple method employed de serves to be rciaemrered in case of emer gencies cf a similar kind. London Lan cet. When to See an Oculist. Should any of the following symptoms be experienced, an oculist of repute should be consulted: Spots or sparks of light floating before the eyes; quivering of the lids or sensation of sand in the eye; perceptible fatigue or the require ment of strong light in reading; the holding of objects at arm's length or close to the eye; squinting one eye or seeing objects double; dizziness or dart ing pains in the eyeballs or over the temple; perceiving a colored circle around the lamp; sensitiveness of the eyeballs or contraction of the visual field; blurring of the vision or being un able to see objects distinctly at a dis tance; watering or redness of the eyes or lids; running together of the letters when reading, or seeing the vertical bet ter than the horizontal lines. Exchange. The First Born. Young Father I am amazed, shocked, my dear, to hear 'you say you intend to give the baby some paregoric. Don't you know paregoric is opium, and opium stunts the growth, enfeebles the consti tution, weakens the brain, destroys the nerves, and produces rickets, marasmus, consumption, insanity and death? Young Mother Horroral I nevei heard a word about that. I won't give the little ducky darling a drop, no, in deedy. But something must be done to stop his yelling. You can carry him awhile. Father (after an hour's steady stamp ing with the squalling infant) Where in thunder is that paregoric? New York Weekly. The Duty of Every Teacher. A teacher of science ought also to be an investigator, were it only for the in spiration that his example might give to the pupils in his charge. To impart knowledge is a good thing, but to reveal the sources of knowledge is better; and in that revelation is found the educa tional value of research regarded as a part of the teacher's essential duty. F. W. Clarke in Popular Science Monthly. Paint Instead of Clothing. The arnotta plant has seeds coated with a red, waxy pulp, which is dried and made into cakes. It is much em ployed by the South American Caribs for painting their bodies, paint being almost their only article of clothing. As a commercial article it ia mainly uti lized as a coloring for cheese, butter and inferior chocolates. Washington Star. Way Off.

Ab has formerlybeen announced in thia paper, threeharvest excur eioiiM at reduced rateH to points in Nebraska, Kaunas, Colorado, Wyo ming and South Dakota have been arranged for. These excursions will be made up on A ugust 25,September 15 and 20, from all points as far east as Chicago :imll'eoria. The railroads are" aware that many of these excursionists are home-seekers, and are offering this inducement to encourage a great number to avail themselves of the opportunity. They doubtless will distribute printed matter setting forth the advantages of the country thro' which their road 1 runs the agricultural capabilities of the count. and the business enter prise of thejpeople; but such adver tising must necessarily be general in its results, andj therefore, in order to benefit' a particular local ity, these efforts must he supple mented by advertising more spe cial in its character. Each community, desiring to lay its advantages before, and to offer inducements to these home-seek ers, should inaugurate some sys tem by which it'might be benefitted. A good plan would be to send some good man east, one who is inte rested in the welfare of the commu nity, for the purpose of distribut ing matter extolling the merits of its resources, and to personally work up an interest in his particu lar section. Doubtless our railroad authorities would furnish free transportation to such an indi vidual, for their interests as well as ours will be greatly enhanced by the attraction of capital. In this matter Plattsmouth should not remain inactive, but should grasp this opportunity and, as other towns are doing, should subscribe liberally toward a move of this kind. Nebraska City has raised $500 toward a move of this kind. Let us over-reach the efforts of our neighbor and receive a relatively greater benefit.

This being true he will not be able to accom pany the boys on their trip. Come One! Come All! To the I. K. church to-morrow morning at 11 o'clock and hear the Deaconesses. Miss Pfrimmer, recently from Chicago, now of the M. E. Hospital and Deaconesses' Home at Omaha, will tell of the evangelical part of their noble work, and one of the other deaconesses will tell of the hospitals the nurses and their work. The Deaconesses' work is the grandest work of the day, and all interested in a good cause should avail themselves of this opportu nity to learn of it, and its blessed results. Messrs. Oliver & Kamge, our en terprising Main street meat market men, have an exhibition at their shop, several stalks' of corn that beat anything on record, as far as we have been able to ascertain from the numerous exchanges that reach this office. The lontrest stalk measures 14 feet and the shortest 12; both are well eared and fully devel oped. Mr. Raruge informs us they are fair specimens of the field, from which they were taken, consisting of o acres. We shall claim the belt for Cass county on corn raising until.ve hear of something better. We ?re under obligations to Mr Eli Sampson for a basket of fine apples from his farm near Rock Bluffs. Mr. Sampson has some trees on his farm of the pound pipin; the apples are a "winter variety and they are now as large around as a saucer. Bank of Cass County and Myrc n Raapka took possession this morn ing at 9 o'clock of Philip Kraus' store, by virtue of a chattle mort gage amount to $1300. Since the above step was taLen, other cred itors became alarmed, and claims to the amount of $300 more have been filed to date. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
