We clip from the Lincoln State Journal the article which follows, written specially for that city, aud while we personally know of none in this city to whom its charitable features would apply, yet it is possi ble that such cases exist, and if so, we recommend the articlo to our citizens who arc able and willing to relieve distress wherever found : "For much of the poverty of which we read, and that we see around us, there is no necessity not in this country at least. For several years past labor has been abundant, and wages have been sure. There has been no cry of hard times, no mourning over unproductive fields and empty bins, no complaining of a scarcity of money, aud no feeling of doubt and uncertainty as to the future or the present prosperity of the country. The times have been as good as one could wish, and the general wealth of the country has increased wonderfully. Thc.-e are some of the reasons why the cry of poverty, which is feebly heard in this aud other cities, sounds strauge ly incongruous. So long as labor is abundant, as it is iu thi state, aud wages good those who suffer no bodily ills, the well and stroug, have no cause to complain of pov erty and waut. Unfortunately, how ever, there are those who are feeble in body, men, womeu and children who have been deprived by disease or accident of the power to earn their bread, and it is of these that the Journal would speak, and for whom it would ask sympathy and assistance. The bitter cold weather of the past few days should awaken a feeling of interest in this matter and make humanitarians of us all. There may be very little real des titution in this city, and, again, there may be more than will ever come to light. It is not strange that people should try to hide their poverty; this is, at best, a cold and uncharita ble world, and it is often that the really deserving arc neglected aud sympathy and assistance are fre quently misapplied. To search out the really destitute, the poor and suffering of the city, should be the purpose of those of our people, and they are many, who are abundantly able to give. There is an organization of noble women iu this city devoted to char itable purposes, and wc have no doubt it is even now at work re lieving such as are known to be iu want. This should be encouraged, not by mere words alone, but by contributions from the well filled purses of those who are wealthy and prosperous. A few dollars each from the many who arc able to give in this city, might relieve a great deal of suffering this winter, ami the same could not be better distributed than through this organization of Christian workers. There is anoth er way of meeting the wants of those who are in distress, and that is by individual effort. The city of Lincoln is favored in the respect of having few needy people, but the cold winter, which may be long and severe, will no doubt bring to light many cases of real distress, and those should be looked after at once, whether by the charity of individu als or through the effort of a society devoted to this aim. If we have any poor iu our midst who are unable to provide for themselves this winter, they should be taken care of. It is a d ii ty that the city owes to itself; it is only common humanity to re lieve the destitute, and whatever be the number of that class iu (his city this winter, there should be no lack of sympathy and assistance from those who have plenty themselves and something to spare." It is stated that a bill will be early introduced into the next congress to abolish what is known as the mint furnace of the treasury de partment, aud transfer that which pertains to coinage to the treasury of the United States where it prop erly belongs. While congress is providing for the coinage, it might with propriety anticipate the green back question, and give it a thor ough investigation, and get ready by proper legislation to provide on the part of the government a paper currency, in the shape of green backs, which the peop'e very much need and will iu a fow years imper atively demand. It should not be delayed until the expiration of the present banking system, and then be compelled to engage in the work while a fearful financial crisis bro't about by a variety of causes, mostly by the conflict of interested opin ions as to what system would be the best. The people will demand that the government shall issue and be responsible for all paper money put in circulation, and if any num ber of citizens desire to engage iu the busiuess of banking let them have the pleusure of banking on government money in the shape of greenbacks for which the govern ment is responsible. Mr. During, a German surgeon living in Williamsburg, reported at headquarters last week in New York that his wife aud five children had disappeared unaccountably immedi ately upon their arrival in this coun try. Mr6. During had with her nearly .$7,000 ; aud her husband be lieves she had been enticed away by a man who had accompanied her as a friend. Mr. During had estab lished himself in busiuess here aud 6cut for his .family. She sold the property and arrived in New York on the 2d of September, accompa nied by a man named Herman Bar ber, a friend of the family, but Duriug did not know of their arri val until a short time since. He has employed a detective. A dispatch from Leadville to Elgin, III., says Stephen S. Taylor of the latter place died at Leadville on the morning of the 17th, of pneu monia. He was editor of the Elgin Advocate, aud secretary of the Elgin Mining and Smelting Company of Leadville. He had been at Lead ville about a week looking after his interests. What an enormous expense to the people is the figure-head of the government in England, known as the royal family, aud of what earth ly use are they, so far as the legiti mate functions of government are concerned ! The queeu has applied to Gladstone to have him ask Par liament for a grant of 1200,000, to enable the Prince of Wales to pay some of his more presi'ig debts, and add $50,000 to his sul.iry. He already has au allowance of $200,000 a year as salary, besides au annual income of $350,000 from property iu Cornwall; the Princess has an al lowance of $50,000. In the face of all this $600,000 a year for the sup port of this branch of the royal family the august Queen begs " tho powers that he" to como down with another $200,000. Gladstone is re ported as firmly refusing to ask Parliament, and suggesting that it would be much more becoming in the Queen to help her sou out of her own enormous income, which is some $3,000,000 a year. The contract signed yesterday by the Baltimore fc Ohio, Beading & New Jersey Central railroads-completes another through line between Chicago and New York. The Bal timore & Ohio have been for a num ber of years past restrained from making eastern connections at Phil adelphia with the Reading road which connects near Trenton on the Delaware with the New Jersey Cen tral. A favorable decisiou having removed these obstacles, the Balti more & Ohio will now be enabled to use the magnificent road bed and terminal facilities of the latter road giving them through connections from Chicago to tho foot of Liberty street in New York. The new line though somewhat longer than tho other routes will make equally rapid time and will compete for first-class and emigrant traffic with the Erie, Pennsylvania aud New York Cen tral. It is intimated that a break iu passenger rates will speedily result from the increased competition. Omaha Bee. Humors at Paris on the 20th say that another Nihilist conspiracy, even more terrible and more care fully orgauized than any of the plots heretofore discovered, is afloat there, which may, if executed, cost the Czar and many innocent people their live3.

A later dispatch from Paris to the London Telegraph says that there is an unconfirmed report of another attempt on the life of the Czar, and that he has been fatally wounded. The large works of the St. Louis Silver Co. at Chittenden, a 6hort distance from the city, were des troyed by fire on the morning of the 19th. The fire originated through a broken cupola,which scattered about tho molten metal. John Williams, an engineer, in attempting to return to the buildiug for his coat, stumb led into a stream of molten metal, and before ho could be reached was literally roasted alive. The build ings and other works were worth $100,000. Partly insured. A bold outrage was committed in the vicinity of La Platte in Sarpy county on a Bohemian; when re turning from Omaha with his team and wife, he was overtaken by a man who was permitted to ride iu his wagon, who, while thus accom modated, dealt a deadly blow on the Bohemian, and knocked him from the wagon, and then drove off with the wife and team. Whether the man killed the woman is not known, and his whereabouts are not known A mutual arrangement has been concluded between the Baltimore & Ohio, the Philadelphia & Reading and the New Jersey Central rail roads for the use of each others tracks, by which all three of the roads expect to be benefitted by the traffic, and it is claimed that the route to Chicago and the west will be as short and as expeditious as by several of the other trunk lines. At Cleveland, O., on the 17th the wife and two young daughters and some parties visiting the family of Daniel Burr were found in a sense lesB condition and the infant child dead from the odor of gas from a base burner stove pervading the air.

Medical attendance and a stomach pump may have aved their lives, but both are in a critical condition.
