The correspondent of the London Standard at Rome said last week the Pope was indisposed, and that he is much disturbed by the state of affairs in Ireland and France. During one of the recent hot days the Brooklyn bridge descended to within 135 feet 9 inches of the water. Unloaded, in the coldest weather, it would bo two feet higher.

The casket was in terred in the crypt of the Cathedral with simple ceremonies. Sunday week between 8 a.m. and 4 p. m. very large crowds sought the Brooklyn bridge. Seventeen thous and pennies were taken iu on the New York side and about as many in Brooklyn. After 4 the throng in creased immensely, and bv sunset txtra ticket gates had to be opened.

The U. S. treasury shows a total of $396,049,961 in its coffers. With a large amount of certificates outstand ing, gold, silver and currency.

Recent intelligence from Alexan dria reports twelve deaths at Marsu rah, and four at Samanond, from cholera. Traffic between Port Said and Syria is prohibited, owing to the outbreak of cholera at the former place. If the officials at Washington de sire to learn more about the character of the treacherous Indians of the west and how to manage them, they may obtain it from Gen. Crook, as he is considered out west a proficient in the business.

Bruce, a yonng colored lady, was one of the grad uates of the Omaha High School the present year. Her essay was very highly spoken of as a production of much interest, showing its author to be gifted with unusual ability. The Daily News at Little Rock, Ark., reports a fight at the Indian dance at Bird Creek, Indian Ty. the other night, at which over one hun dred Pawnees with drawn revolvers and knives took part. Two Indians were killed and others wounded. Thos. Chapman, a brakeman on the Osceola road, was drowned the other day while bathing in Coon river near Des Moines. There is not much trouble at this season of the year to find death while bathing, especially so if the person is not a good swim mer. The annual report of the chief of the small division in the pension office shown a record during the fiscal year of 53,411 applications for pen sion, an increase over the previous year of 15,605. Seventeen thousand letters have been received from con gressmen. The steamship Nevada, landed the other day at New York, brought 680 Mormon converts in charge of twenty-two missionaries. The converts were from Sweden, Denmark, Wales, England and Norway. It is stated the number of men and women are abont equal. The first car load of California fruit. consisting of apricots, peaches and pears went through to Chicago the other day attached to a passenger train. Certainly not mnch profit can be made on that ear load of fruit after paying eight hundred and thirty-nine dollars freight. The Osceola Record puts ia a word against "boss" rule, and says now that the bosses are all out of politics, the people will march on to victory, kc. The Record does not vouchsafe the information that this refers especially to'Polk county politics. In the ab sence of any disclaimer it may be fairly presumed that the Record really Beans to include Polk county. The convention which met on the Fourth at Chicago has demonstrated pretty effectually to some who were there, and to many who were not there, that however strong the desire, a new political party cannot come into the arena of strife fally armed and equipped, without due prepara tion. Political parties grow, they are not made. They grow out of the soil of society, nourished by the sun of public favor. Events, occurrences sufficiently exciting to attract and fix attention, are the great teachers of mankind, and which impel them to join in the contest. Then, too. a vigorous young politi cal party that means business, has one central idea and purpose around which everything else clings as mere ly subsidiary. With this wedge of sentiment and truth (if it be a crying need) it only wants the requisite push and pounding to burst asunder the rock-rooted wrong, whatever it may be. The Journal sees no reason to be lieve that the one great object of the anti-monopolists, viz, the protection of society against the greed of corpo rations, has been much furthered by the meeting at Chicago. True, the meeting was large, quite a number of states being represented ; some of the members were very enthusiastic, and some of them, notably Capt. Stickel of this state, had a comprehensive idea of what they wanted to do, if they had no present means of know ing how to accomplish it. In all this war of the political ele ments, there is too little sharp-shooting, too little aiming at a. clearly-de fined object, and entirely too mnch firing at the crowd of political ills too much blunderbuss. Not but that there are plenty of grievances, plenty of wrongs to right, but a political party must throttle or attempt to throttle the "boss" wrong, and 'show the whole world 'that it means ugly businefs, if it would succeed in at tracting attention and drawing aid to the work. The managing members of the two old political parties may as well be reminded, however, that the senti ment of the country is all bnt unani mous against corporate greed and domination, and from present appear ances intends that the existing parties shall take a stand on the subject, and bring all to rights. Ant action the Post-office Depart ment may take in regard to star route thieves that will debar them from perpetrating any new frauds upon the treasury or the public, will be heartily applauded by honest men throughout the land, says the Knox County News, but it is pretty safe to say that if Sen ator Tan Wyck had not dropped down upon the combination, the old machine would have worked just about as usual. It was going on just the same but very quietly. If the News thinks that an effort for the honest administration of government affairs is to cease simply hAnanan the men who have courage to step up to the scratch are abused and maligned, it will find itself mistaken. The pub lic are beginning to get after the thieves, the political bummers, and all that is needed to throw them out of place and power, here and there, is to giye the utmost publicity to iheir foul deeds. This is the exact and definite reason why Senator Van Wyck is denounced by certain so called Republican newspapers in Ne braska he lets daylight shine through the jobs that are sot up, and that are being set up. They cannot thrive so well, after he drops on them. If every voter in every precinct in Nebraska would think as independently, and speak and act as freely as Senator Tan Wyck, (wham the News so per sistently and so maliciously misrepre sents) political bummers would be sent to the rear quick. Gov. Butler has vetoed the bill to levy a state tax of two million dol lars. He does not believe in raising money before it Is needed, and letting it lie in bonds at 3 per cent, while poor people who pay taxes must bor row at not less than 5 per cent, to pay with. He regards a million dollars as sufficient tax, and a million and a half as ample. Whatever faults Gov. Butler may have, in this and many other matters he is, like Nebraska's senior Senator, Van Wyck, with the people, in his desire to have an eco nomical administration of public af fairs and to have honest men in places of trnst. Gen. Cbook on his way to Wash ington recently stated that the reports that the hostile were again on the war-path were absolutely withont foundation in fact. It was a good time to surrender, and the Indians fully realized that further demonstra tions by them would be most disas trous. He also stated that further trouble was quite impossible. A few squaws and children only remain ont, but these are expected in hourly. The genera) believes beyond doubt they will bring Charley McComar with them. He also expresses the firm belief that the Indian trouble is settled. The Board of Health at Boston last week made report to the collector of the Port that within the past six months the Port physician had exam ined 23,530 assisted emigrants, many of them too feeble by reason of age or other infirmities for self support, and must be aided by private and public charities. Host of them are without luggage and scantily clothed. Edwik Kuuc, doiag bnsiaess in New York, bad arrested the other day Isaac A. Briggs, a broker, Wesley Lyoa, a lawyer, and Emil Brie, aged 70, for swindling kin ont of 1271,185, which he paid for bogus Missonri state bonds sold to him by the parties. On the person of one of the accsaad wm found bonds of mythical companies. Fifty years from the 1st of July, 1883, Oberliu college was founded. It was a time of a great jubilee at the institution. A great number of ven erable men, graduates of former years, and many distinguished in the min istry or eminent in public life, were gathered for a grand re-union. Most of the classes since 1836 were repre sented. A wealth ef reminiscences were showered upon the meetings of various character, beginning last Tuesday and continued till July 4tb, and with a mammoth semi-centennial celebration. Bierne and Elam, of Richmond, the journalistic duelists, met on the 30th ult., near Newhope in Stanton county, Ya. At the second exchange of shots Elam was struck in the upper part of the right thigh and Bierne escaped unhurt. Bierne expressed himself as satisfied, and the parties left the field in opposite directions. It was subse quently stated that Elam was danger ously shot through the right thigh, and was at the Hotel at Wayneboro, and had telegraphed for his wife. Bierne passed directly through Char lottsville for Richmond. Is New York there were 68 toy pistol accidents last year, of which 18 proved fatal ; in Massachusetts 39, of which 26 produced death ; in Pennsyl vania 12, of which 10 proved fatal; in Connecticut 10, of which 5 were fatal ; in New Jersey 10, of whfch 5 proved fatal; in Rhode Island 4, of which 3 wen fatal; in Maine 6. of which 4 were fatal, and in Chicago 60, of which 19 proved fatal. Parents can use their pleasure in making invest ments in toy pistols for their children, we prefer giving ours books. Recent report from the residence of Lieut.-Gov. Lewis, in Rockingham Co., Ya., where Elam was taken after being wounded, is that the wound is much more aggravated than at first reported. Elam's condition is critical the ball struck near the right hip, passed inward and downward thro' the body, and lodged iu the left thigh, passing in its course very near the bladder. The ball has been extracted. This condition is liable to be the fate of all duelists. The N. Y. Tribune says that at the late reception tendered H. W. Beech er, oue speaker alluded to the chief trouble of the great preacher's life, and he found no encouragement from that audience. That paper briefly re viewed the history of his old oppo nents in the famous trial, which review did not present many bright spots, and ended on the part of that paper with the expression of the opinion that ''They have dropped out of men's recollections completely." A cyclone one day laBt week swept through Port Jervis, Hancock and Binghampton, N. Y., the Nangatuck Valley in Connecticut, and the Will iamstown Valley in Massachusetts, uprooting trees, destroying houses and churches, and laying flat crops and fences. The new Williams col lege gymnasium, where the alumni dinner was to be eaten "Wednesday, was wrecked, causing a loss of sixty thousand dollars. Tste News, of London, of a recent date says, It is perfectly the American right to prevent the landing of Irish paupers on her shores. The gross negligence in shipping them is most cruel. If assisted emigration contin ues it must be conducted differently. There is no reason to believe that the government has co-operated with any other agency than Mr. Tukes, but mere inaction is not now enough. The Minnesota state republican convention nominated last week the following ticket : Governor Hubbard, renominated by acclamation; C. A. Gilman, for lieutenant governor; Fred. Vorbaumback, secretary of state; Chas. Kittleson, treasurer; W. J. Hahn, attorney general, and J. H. Baker, railroad commissioner. Cty CoamIawteaer Proceed - Monday, June 18th, 1SS3.
