A SUIT against a saloon keeper at
Auburn , Neb. , by a widow whose hus
band died from exposure iu consequence
of intoxication frotii liquor purchased
of said saloon keeper , has just terrain-
afcd and the jury rendered a verdict of
$1,250 and costs in favor of plaintiff.
} "STEP right into the parlor and make
yourself at home,1'said the nine-year old
son of the editor to his sister's best
young man. ' 'Take the rocking chair
and help yourself to the album. Helen
Louise is , up stair.and , won't be down
for some time yet has to make up her
form , you know before going to press.
Jiufce.
CoLB.MBt's.this state , has a sensation
in a case of trance-sleeping. A young
lady twenty-one years old has been in an
unconscious state since October 26 , and
all efforts to arouse her have been in
vain and she has been like a corpse. The
only evidence of life arc the beating of
the pulse and the breathing , both of
which are scarcely perceptible. Cata
lepsy is supposed to be the secret of
lier strange sleep , and the outcome of
the case is watched for with a great deal
of interest. 'Lincoln Democrat.
THE following from the pen of the
late J. G. Holland , possesses the essen
tial elements of pathos and truth , al
though at variance with the practice of
capitalists and monopolists of the pres
ent day : "Labor is the honorable thing
imong men. There is not a neatly grad
ed lawn , a pretty garden , or well-train
ed tree that does not tell of it. It builds
magnificent cities , and creates navies ,
and bridges rivers , and lays the railroad
tracks , and infuses every part of the
lying locomotive. Wherever steamers
) low the wave or the canal bears the na-
; ion's inward wealth , wherever wheat
ields wave and the mill wheel turns ,
ther.o labor is the conquorer and the
cing. The newspaper , wherever it
spreads wings , bears with it the imprint
of toiling hands. Should not the la-
jqrer be well fed 1 Should he not be
well housed ? Should he not have the
) est wife and prettiest children in the
world ? Should not the man who pro
duces all that we have to cat and diink
and wear be honored ? To us there is
more poetry about the laborer's life and
ot than any other man under heaven.
[ t matters not in what calling a person
toils if he toils manfully , honestly and
contentedly. The little tin pail should
> e a badge of nobility everywhere , and
n the good time coming , boysit will be.1
FEW people have any idea of the ex
tent of destruction by fire in this coun
try. Insurance statisticians say that if
the amount of the annual fire loss were
saved and applied to the reduction of
the national debt , the latter would be ex-
inguished in thirteen years. As this
s an enormous drain on the resources
of the country , the means of stopping it
> ecomes an important consideration.
The fact that about thirty per cent , of
he fires are of incendiary origin and
hat fires increase or decrease in direct
ratio with failures is suggestive to mor
al leformers ; but the far greater number [
of fires officially reported are traceable
to caielesiiiess. Neglected flues , bon- <
ires , fireworks , cigar stubs , matches ;
and spontaneous combustion cause fires (
enough to destroy many millions in : i
year , and if every man would be his own
reformer in the treatment of combusti-
> les or heating apparatus , fires would
) c such rare occurrences that the in
cendiary would be a monster in popular
estimation and his detection would be
easier. Moreover , if people would cure
themselves of carelessness during the
'all 'and winter months , when they have
ires in their houses , the insurance sta-
istician who thinks he detects a mys
terious connection between the four per
cent , reduction of the loss by fire during
he spring and summer months and the
reduction in the average rain fall dur-
ng those months would be at liberty to
levote himself to the more instructive
ihases of the information at his dis-
tosal.
For several years Chamberlain's Coush
Kemeily lias been prized for its speedy and
certain cures of croup. It is the favorite and
'main reliance with thousands of mother * . It
w ill not onl y4curc croup but if freely used as
hoon as the first indication of the dNeabe ap
pears that is a.s .soon as the child becomes the
least hoarse , it will prevent it , doiny away
with all danger and anxiety. There is not
the least danger in giving the remedy freely ,
as it contains no injurious subttanre. Sold
