If It was rigidly enforced, and saloon keepers prosecuted for all immediate dangers to life and prop erty that occur by reason of their ne farious business, no man would want to be a saloon keeper, and no man would go on the saloon keeper's bond.

In our report last week of the Pinafore opera, in the notices briefly made of the leading characters we thoughtlessly omitted to mention MIbs Clara Mercer, who so admirably represented the character, "Cousin Hebe." We never were more morti fied, chagrined, over any of our sins of omission as in this instance; for certainly Miss Clara carried her part aB well as did any of the compa ny, and some critics whom we beard express themselves, thought "Cousin Hebe" the best cast in the play. Apol ogies are not in our line, but having given an estimable young lady occa sion for offense, it Is eminently her due that we tender her this public apolog State Journal: Brownville is a prodigy in musical circles. Her home talent has just made a successful ren dition of "Pinafore," with Miss Cora Gates bb Josephine, Miss Clara Mercer as cousin Hebe, and Miss Mollie Fur nas as Little Buttercup, and J. B. Docker as Sir Joseph. The pla3 was rendered two nights and to orowded houses every evening, as something over $300 clear of expenses was real ized. Why oannot Lincoln do like wise? Miss Cora Gates, assisted by tbe musical talent of Brownville, sang Pinafore to a large audience at Brownville on Thanksgiving eve ning. The entertainment was a great puccess financially, and otherwise. Efforts are being made to induce Miss Gates and her company to give the opera in this city, at an earlj day. We assure Miss Cora, if Bbe will favor our people with the opera, she will be Greeted with a crowded house. Falls City Journal. Lost. One grizzley grey hound, white breast and feet. Left Dec. 2d.

Winter is here. Married, Nov. 30th, Mr. Frank Cole and Miss Alice Parish. Eider Henry is holding a series of meetings In the Christian church. Come and hear him. It is a serious thought to live, it is a serious matter to die. And it is wise to make tbe most and best of existence. And if the bible teaches the best way to live, and the best way to die, (and I believe it does) then it is wise to be instruct ed by it. Come and hear what Bro. Henry lias to say of the way of salva tion. He is an earnest man, of fine talent and cultured thought. On the 2Gth of November Elder Young was 74 years old, and the time was honored by the parsonage being filled with his brethren, Bisters and friends, and a very pleasant social gathering it was. A very fine supper was served ; it was in great abundance and variety, and in great taste. Then singing, exortations and prayers, after good Methodist style. The Methodists are a live people, and the Methodist ladies know how to get up a fine supper. The Elder is bowed with the weight of many years and much sickness, yet we trust he may yet see many birth-days, and be spared to show sinnerB the way of life eternal in the Christ. Sheriff" Black, of Brownville, at tended worship in the Christian church last Sunday. Another grave has been dug in the London burying ground, another spirit has gone home, another body reBts in the grave. Father Sedoras has made his earth record and gone ; he had his joys and sorrows, lila dis appointments and triumphs, but the perilous journey is over and he is landed, we trust, safely on the other Bide. He had been a great sufferer for some years, but there is a land where there is no sickness, nor sorrow, nor pain, nor death, and we trust brother Sedoras is in that lend. He was for man3" years a member of the Christian churoh, he may have had his trialR and temptations at times which led him out of the Christian path, but, we trust he is in one of the mansions in the Father's house. So we all are going over the river of death. Soon all of us will be gone. But where? Let ns be wise and make preparation of character, fit for one of those beau tiful mansions.

Brown & Bier, road builders, who were ordered by Mr. Gonld to report to Mr. Clark the moat favorable route over whloh to hrlnsr the Missouri Pa cific from Atchison to St. Joseph are now at work examining the loy of the land. First Edition. lOS.OOO. So rapidly are orders increased for the December Scribner that it is thought the first edition of 108,000 will not supply the demand. One cause of the recent Increase in circu lation, by which one hundred thou sand November numbers were sold In two weeks, is undoubtedly due to tbe growing interest in the two seri als, Henr James, Jr. 's "Confidence," which is one of the most fascinating character studies, and George W. Ca ble's novel of New Orleans life, "The Grandissimes." The latter, begun in November, will be the leading serial story of the year. Mr. Cable's "Old Creole Days" has attracted wide at tention, and this, Ills first novel, promises to be among the strongest and most important works of fiction that have yet appeared In American literature. A new serial story by Mrs.. Burnett, author of "That Lass o' Lowrie's,' has also been secured and will begin In an early number. The special attractions of the December number include twenty poems by American women, comprising verse by many of our most prominent wo men writers ; "Two Visits to Victor Hugo," ty H. H. Boyesen, with a large portrait engraved by Cole; an illustrated description of the Johns Hopkins University, and an interest ing paper by Burroughs on "Nature and the Poets." "The New Capitol at Albauj"" Is critical described in an articlejof eighteen pages, with the aid of twenty-three drawings, and there are illustrated papers on "Coffee Culture in Brazil," "Success with Small Fruits," etc., etc. "The Reign of Peter the Great," by Euqene Schuyler, will begin in the February number. The illustrations for the first of this splendid series of Historical Papers are now almost com pleted, and include reproductions of famous Russian paintings, cut on wood by Americau engravers, who are pronounced by the London Snt arduy Bcvicw "the best in the world." Sold, and subscriptions received, by book-sellers and news-denlers, at $4 00 a year, 35 cents a number. "A Portfolio of Proof Impresions," of the best enqrnvlnc from thp pacs of Scribner and St. Nicholas (pditon lim ited to 3.000) will be ready about De cember 1st. Price, S10 00.
