It made a picture dazzling and bright. As it lit up the old stone mill And bathed iu a flood of golden light. The bankers fine house, on the bill. The bankers daughter was riding by A young, and dathing bride. Aud rudely laughing and scornfully She turned to the friend at her side. This must be "Noahs Ark" eried she Aud that queer little maiden brown. Looks quite as ancient it seems to me, Iu her comical, old fashioned gown. Poor Lura ! wounded as never before In shame hung her pretty head And swiftly ran from the open door ; As these cruel words were said, a But Fortuue's wheel was turning away And a very strange prank it played. For the bankers daughter went down one day And up came the little brown maid. Beloved and loving, a happy wife, "The bankers flue house" is her own While bis daughter liveth a dreary life In the farmhouse widowed and lone. BUILDING RECORD OF 1881. We present this week our annual building record for the past year, and wish to state that it is not published as a review of business, at this time, nor yet as puffs for any one's business. It is simply, as nearly as possible, a correct statement of the improvements of the past year, published as a record. which we have kept for several years now. The files of the Herald, we hope, will be here long after we leave, and in them historians can trace the growth of Plattsmouth from year to year. We make these few remarks to prevent the usual carping, fault-find ing and annoyance occasioned by what are called "annual reviews," this man being left out, and that man too much or not enough, and so on. This is simply a matter of our own; nobody pays for it ; nobody has been asked to take an extra copy of the pa per, and it is for our own and others information in the future. Such arti cles are never absolutely correct, but they serve to aid and fix dates in the urnd, aud become of service in a hun dred ways in the years to come. The B. & M. It. R. improvements were given so fully in the review just after the Board of Trade banquet that we make a mere summary of the num ber of buildings and an approximation of the amount at this time. There are also some fifteen or twen ty small houses and additions west of town in the additions there, the details of which it is impossible to get, being mostly built by the owners, aud few speaking English. The sum total makes a very fa'.r showing for 1881, which, however, as appearances indi cate, will be more than equaled in 1882. The B. & M. have built n 1SS1, in addition to the already extensive works here the following new buildings and improvements, vis.: A blacksmith shop, of brick 200 feet loiif and G5 feet wide; a wood working shop of brick 120x60 with engine room. Roundhouse, No. 3, of 10 stalls; a building 80x40 for storage, and a, dry house 20x70. Another round house, No. S, 125x50 and general store house, 50x175 feet. An engine room, prepa rations for Water Works, and a huge oil house and store room are yet under way. These improvements, not inelnded in the business record of the city, can be estimated as each individual chooses. Their real value will sever be ebtained from the Kailroad officials T.1 their absolute value to Platts mouth, cannot be computed in dollars and cents. . Dr. Jno. Black, brick block on the south west corner of Sixth and Main streets ; 48 feet wide and 60 feet long, two stories high. The cor ner room 35x44,' with a corner entrance will be completed in a few days and occupied by the Bank of Cass County of which Dr. Jno, Black is President The store-reom 25x80. facing on 6th street with a plate glass front, will be occupied by Joseph M.

The building will be lighted with gass, manufactured on the premises, a machine to run fifty burners is now being put up. The Main and Sixth street fronts are of St. Louis, pressed brick, and the stone caps and sills and other stone work was likewise shipped from St. Louis, also the doors and sash; the plate glass is of English Manafacture and was purchased of a Chicago firm, by the Doctor himself. Two of the plates are the largest ever brought to Plattsmouth, being 78x132 inches. The entire cost of the ground, build ing, vault, gas machines, counters, shelving, Ac, will be 812,000. - Joining the above, on Sixth street, is the M. E. Church block, containing two store-rooms, 22x60 feet, finished as above with plate glass and pressed brick; they will be occupied by Har ris & Unruh, as a Furniture Store, and Baker & Atwood, as a Dry Goods Store.

About six months ago, an admiring friend of Louis Seidler. tlio South-side saloonist, presented liim with a pair of Mannosette monkeys. They nre strange looking animals, and have always at tracted attention. Tboy are natives of brazil, and are a cross between a monkey and a squirrel, having the color and fur of tlio latter and the faco of the former, in sizo they arcs between a small monkey ond a large squirrel. They are very intelligent and know Mr. S. very well. Recently the female gave birth to two little ones, ono of which died, but the other is alivo aud healthy. The mother cried bitterly for a while over the dead one, but soon reconciled herself with the other. It is about tho size of a mouse, and is thepctandprido of tho mole. The female holds it and suckles it as a mother would a babe. but as soon as the little one is satisfied the male takes it, and with a wonderful expression of wisdom and dignity, marches up and down the cage in a manner that causes one .to luugh in spite of himself. Mliecling Inteaigen- cer. A rnilroad man met with a terrible accident the other evening He had just emptied one schooner of beer, and was in the act of reaching for another when his "wife appeared unexpectedly upon the scene. He was caugui between tho bumpers with the usual re sult. TTiiLn ctunl sVinfra Viava harm intro duced in England in the construction of large ocean steamers. The weight is thereby reduced, while tho strength but slightly diminished. Where Famines Occur. It is a great help to tho study of fam ines l observe that they occur almost invariably in tbinlj'-settled countries, or in countries where the whole people are employed in producing food. Ireland and India belong to tho latter class; Swedon. Persia and Asia Minor to the former. S-vcn Mr ago both Asia Minor and Northern Sweden were en during the horror.' of famine. Both are thinly-settled countries, the former having less than u third of the popula tion it supported in Roman times. In 1874 children were sold by their parents into perpetual slavery, partly to save them from a slow and painful death, and partly to secure a scanty supply of food for the reinainiug members of the household. Whole villages were do populated, and regions abandoned to tho wilderness. Swedish Delecarlia was nearly a ill off. the difference be ing duo to better government and l.rgo : ssistanco from the neighboring coun tries aud provinces. At this moment both countries nre again facing tho sam! terrible experience, and crying f r bread to tlio re-t of the world. On Malthusian principles, they should bo enjoying an exceptional prosperity; but the experience of mankind, some how, will continually insist on showing weaknesses in Malthus. The Ameri can. Rev. John Hall believes that news paper wri'crn. if given a text, could often write a better sermon than some ministers. ' Eailw&y Bales in Cassia. The Russian ministerof ways of com munication h& issued a series of regu lations for the settlement of disputes between passengers on railroad trains in regard to the right to close or open the windows. The rules are fire in number, of which the first lays down the law that all windows are to be kept closed in winter time while the carriage is being warmed. The second modifies this during the rest of the year, passen gers having tho right thea to demand the opening of the windows if the tem- feraluro is not lower than &5 degrees ahrunlieit. When this temperature is attained the stoves must be lighted and the windows kept hermetically closed. Rule 3 states that on the mercury ris ing abovo 55 degrees Fahrenheit, all the windows in tho carriage may bo opened, subject, however, to the "unan imous approval of all the passengers presenL" Should there "be a "side wind" all the windows on the wind ward sido are. by rule 4, to be kept closed, and a demand ntay be made for the general opening of the windows on the other side of the carriage. Finally, by rule 5, the minister orders that, in all quarrels between passengers regard ing carriage windows, tho head guard is to ba applied to, and his decision U to be binding on all concerned. Whalebone The Dutch formerly paid $3,500 a ton for whalebone, but it has not brought that since 1763. In 1814 it brought $450; in 1834. $545; and in 1844 it varied from $1,080 for Southern to $1,550 for Northern bone. Inven tive genius is trying bard to find a sub stitute for whalebone, and has met with some success. Buffalo-horn gives sat isfaction, as there is quite a similarity between them. The horns aro cut in to strips, which are straightened for the dressmaker. Compressed cane does not answer the purpose as wolL The best whale bone is from the Green land whale, from one of which two thousand to three thousand pounds aro often taken. Whalebone hats aud rib bons have just come in. The former are beautiful and verv comfortable.
