A'SATCIIKL BUSTLE" is tlio latest ,
[ t is for ladies. It has a compartment ,
roomy and airy , in which a night-dress ,
a gossamer , a comb and brush , toilet ar
ticles , a wrapper and ti bottle of sooth
ing syrup are easily stored. The bustle ,
says an eastern paper , is much admired
cd and all the rage. It i.s a daisy.
Mil. WILSON has introduced a bill iu
congress doubling the rate of postage
on fourth class mail matter. This move
is in the interest of the cxpre com
panies , as it will rui out the small par-
eel delivery fiom the mails of the coun
try. THE Tuicuxn believes this is an
outrage on the people and hopes tho
Nebraska delegation will tak no hand
in i ( . It ] ' > of the greatest convenience
to the people to be able to use the mail
for transmitting small packages of mer
chandise from place to place without
pacing tho stiff charge of the
companies
i Tin : following eloquent pss : .ige i
from the pen of George D. Prentice .
Tt cannot bo that earth is niaii'.s abid
ing place. It cannot bo that our lives
are mere bubbles cast up by eternity , to
float a moment on its waves and then .
sink into nothingness. Else why is it
that the glorious aspiiation which leaps
like angels from the temple of one'- *
heart are forever wandering unsatisfied ?
Why is it that the stars tli.it hold their
festival around the midnight th'.one are
j
set alike the grasp of our limited facul- (
ty. forever mocking us with their unap
proachable glory ? And finally , why is
it that bright forms of human beauty
presented to our views are taken from
us , leaving the thousand "trc.ims of af
fection to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our heaits ? There is a realm
where the rainbow never fades ; whoie
the stars will spread out before us like \
shadows , and will stay in our presence '
forever. " '
THE hanging of Ford and Murphy at
New Orleans has probably few parallel * '
in the criminal annals of the country.
Foul was a wealtln' and respected citi
zen. His brother wa a judge and had j
an enemy. The judge , his brother and
flvc officers of the court waylaid the cue- '
i
my and some of them shot him to death. '
It was shown that there was a conspira-
cy. the hanged men doing the shooting
and the judge and otbeis aiding and
abetting. Murder had run riot so fear
fully in Xew Orleans that all classes of
citizens demanded that this crime
should be punished. It has been , al
though powerful and long continued ef
forts were made to avert it. Two of
the criminals are dead and the remain
der in the penitentiary. The circuni-1
stance511 doubtless have a alutary in- '
flucnce all over the country. It is
much needed. From some reason or
from some cause murder is frightfully
on tlu ; increase. A retuin to the prompt
and effective methods of the fathers
would doubtless diminish the number
of criminals. If Xew Orleans can hang
and .imprison leading and powerful citi
zens there is no reason why this honid
i-rime may not be punished and checked
in all section1- tho country. There is
sore need tliat it should be.
