The news from Paris says that the

be forgiven.

a base of the same material. It Is in
scribed with tbe names of the slain.
A Terrific Earthquake.
The Omaha Bee of Monday brought
details of the fearful Iosb of life and
property by an earthquake Saturday
night last. Wo gitre tho particulars
in a very brief way. The shocks be
gan at about half past nine o'clock, at
Cassimicola, near Naples; nearly all
the houses in town collapsed. It is
estimated 3,000 persons were killed
and 800 injured. Hotel Piccola Sen
tinella sank into tbo earth and burned,
with many of its inmates. The center
of the area of tho shock was the same
as that 9 years ago, but the radius
wider. Tbe ground opened in many
places, while in others there waB no
movement. Water gushed out of
openings. At Loia there were many
dead and wounded. At Forio the
churches were ruined, but no one
killed. At Terrena, 15 killed. The
stories told by survivors aro horrible.
Many Romans having villas at Ischia
are known to have been lost. The
dead are fearfully mutilated. In some
cases the corpses are plainly discerua
ble through the ruins, but they cannot
bo extricated. It is surmised some
persons are still alive in the cellars.
A correspondent telegraphs this af
ternoon that judging from reports
already at hand, the calamity will in
finitely exceed Chica's earthquake in
1881. The syndic of Cassimicola tel
egraphs as follows : The shock came
with irresistible violence and was ac
companied by deafening noise. The
confusion in the theatre was fearful.
The lights were overthrown and set
fire to the building. A dense cloud
of dust filled the air. Cries of pain
and terror were heard on all sides.
On hearing the shouts of "To the sea,"
a general rush was made toward the
shore. Every boat and floating thing
was taken by assault.
A Naples correspondent writes that
he had just returned from Ischia, and
says that Cassimicola, Lacco and Fo
rio have been destroyed.
Tbe impression produced by the
disaster is indescribable.
Prospective.
If tbe democracy of this nation have
made themselves believe that the dis
cordant elements of their opponents
will give them an easy victory next
year, they seem destiued to be unde
ceived, soon or later. It will not be
so, judging from present appearances,
and from the general characteristics
of the republican party.
The ancient enemy of the republi
can party left too black a national
record, before the reins of power
wore snatched from its hands, to in
duce republicans to so far forget them
selves as to wish to re-instate the
democracy. Whatever differences
republicans may have among them
selves (and those differences are
marked and vital), all are agreed that
the one great virtue since the close of
the Rebellion is, to keep the democ
racy out of full power in national
affairs, and the necessity of doing
this is felt as much now as during the
campaign of 1880.
The indications are that differences
will be allowed to remain silent in
the presence of an unchanged solid
south, and an unchanged democracy,
dominated by the Tilden wing.
The republicans of Iowa, of Ohio,
of Pennsylvania have 6et a pretty
good example of harmony to their
brethren elsewhere, and if this spirit
grows and blooms in the nomination
of a presidential ticket expressing the
conscience, the intelligence and the
progressive purposes of the party,
then will the fruit be peace, national
honor, and a hopeful future.
Tbe Capitol.
The Schuyler Sun has some straight
words for the Board of Public Lands
and Buildings, and the letting of the
capitol contract:
" 'After due deliberation,' tbe board
swindled the state of Nebraska ont of
$41,000. It might be interesting to
know what the board would have
done had it acted without delibera
tion. We cannot discern the object
in stating so explicitly that due de
liberation was used; a villainy is
certainly no less reprehensible be
cause it is a deliberate villainy. But
in any event, the tax payers of Ne
braska are to be congratulated they
have suffered a loss of $41,000 and
they have reason to be thankful that
it is no more. Had Mr. Stout seen
proper to bid $478,000, the loss would
nave been twice what it is, and had
his bid been $519,000 the loss would
have been quadrupled, and so on in
definitely. We are not certain but
what Mr. Stout has done a very grace
ful thing in not taking more than he
did. He had all the opportunities for
a large margin ; it was simply a ques
tion of how the figures should be
arranged, and when he permitted
them to read $439,000 instead of $934,
000 the state was saved a difference of
$495,000. There is nothing exagger
ated or overdrawn about this ; a board
composed of men who will deliber
ately swindle the state out of $41,000,
would only require a little more de
liberation to perpetrate a much larger
swindle."
Taeti. A. R. Resales.
First day a grand success. Weather
perfect. Thirty thousand people vis
ited the camp. The procession
through the principal streets of Den
ver was 7,000. A careful estimate
placed tbe total number of visitors in
Denver at 40,000. The streets, busi
ness houses and many private resi
dences were profusely decorated with
flags, banners, festoons and pictures.
Addresses were made by Judge Syms,
presiding officer, Gov. Grant, on be
half of the stale, the response by Com
mander Van Der Voort, John L.
Routt, in behalf of Denver, responded
to by J. D. B. Adams of Massachu
setts. Gen. E. K. Stin6on made an
address of welcome in behalf of the
Department of Colorado. During the
entire program Logan had been fre
quently called and at the close
delivered a short and eloquent speech.
The Denver Republican remarks that,
naturally Logan waB the hero of the
day. The week was passed in meet
ings of various kinds and in attend
ance on the Exposition. Among tbe
incidents of the week was the organ
ization of a National Auxiliary to the
G. A. B. for the benefit of the ladies.
A terrible accident occurred on
the evening of the 27th ult. at Carlton
station, N. Y., by which nineteen
were killed and thirty wounded. The
train was an excursion train, behind
time, and running 40 miles an hour.
The wind was blowing a gale, and
had blown a freight car on the side,
partly on tbe main track. When the
excursion train came along, the engi
neer seeing the obstruction, put on
tbe air brakes, reversed tho lever of
his engine, stood heroically at his
post and was fatally injured. The
fireman was instantly killed. The
baggage car and two sleepers were
entirely demolished. The cars were
piled or each other in a heap of ruinB,
The cries and shrieks of the wounded
are described as terrible. The crash
was heard three miles away.
The Bee is authority for saying
that a well posted man afllrma the re
cent wholesale discarge of conductors
due to the great falling off of business
to the U. P., from the completion of
the B. & M. to Denver, and to the
Southern Pacific the discharge being
a dodge to satisfy Dillon and others
in New York. It is intimated that
there is trouble brewing at the New
York office for other than conductors.
Is it possible that the infection of
"knocking down" reaches up towards
the head? Will railroading become
so corrupt that the government, as a
matter of public necessity, will be
compelled to take charge of the
business?
A correspondent writing from
Cairo, Egypt, Bays that the condition
of affairs there is pitiable in the ex
extreme. That men lay dead in the
streets is literally true. They lie, half
a dozen at a time, in the carts which
are allowed to stand in the streets
while the drivers dicker with the
friends of the dead man in the next
house as to the price of carting the
body away. The streets of Ghizah
are deserted, and of its 15,000 popula
tion not 1,000 remain. Bnrials are
only pretense. Shallow trenches are
dug in the sand and tbe dead piled so
close to the surface that the first gust
of wind exposes the putrid remains.
The Grand Island Independent has
a pretty good platform, "Injustice to
tbe railroads is an injury to the peo
ple ; injustice to the people is an injury
to the railroads," but we have noticed
that as a general rule the railroads in
Nebraska have had everything about
their own way heretofore. We have
no doubt the reaction is about to
show itself, and if the people should
try to get even, there would be some
fearful shrieking. The general feeling,
however, is not for retributive justice,
but for fair dealing in the future.
The republican party, if it expects
to retain its supremacy in this state,
must demand through its delegates, at
tbe coming state convention a full and
explicit explanation from the Land
Commissioner, Kendall, why the con
tract to build tho remaining portion
of the capitol building was not let to
Mr. Silver, instead of putting nearly
$50,000 in Stout's pocket. The party
must have a satisfactory explanation,
or demand that Kendall step down
and out and the contract be annulled.
Burtonian.
The colored people of Texas held a
state convention the other day at
Austin. They declared that tbe white
race in the south have continually in
creased in friendliness, and advising
the colored people to keep a sharp
eye on their teachers and preachers,
and to remove at once those found
incompetent or immoral. They clos
ed their address proclaiming alle
giance to the republican party.
Saturday morniug at 6:30 a fire
broke ont in Leighton's wholesale
drug store in Lincoln, in the block
opposite the Commercial Hotel. The
flames spread to adjoining buildings
occupied by F. E. Newton, hardware ;
I. M. Forbes, livery; a jewelry store
and Several small buildings adjacent.
Total loss estimated at $150,000. In
surance about half.
Although yellow fever has ap
peared and a large number of deaths
reported at Vera Cruz, Mexico, in
May, June and July, yet it is claimed
that no case of yellow fever has yet
appeared on the shores of the United
States. It is belioved that with prop
er precaution taken its ingress will
be prevented beyond quarantine
limits.
The Philadelphia Press is advocat
ing the adoption of knee-breeches for
letter-carriers as an entering wedge
to their general adoption by the male
population. We cannot say that we
admire the style of knee-breeches,
and yet we have to admit that we
cannot answer the argument that for
grace, convenience, comfort and econ
omy they excel other styles.
Some of our exchanges ridicule the
idea of building a double track nar-row-guage
railroad from New York
to San Francisco and from Chicago to
New Orleans, to be called the Peo
ples' railway. They pronounce it the
most nonsensical scheme they have
heard of in many a day, and say it is
so wild that it is a wonder the Asso
ciated Press would notice it.
THE SUNDAY LAW I KAN
SAS CITY.
Kansas Crrr, July 22. To-day not
only was the Downing high license
law enforced in this city to the very
letter, but the old Sunday law as
well, and every branch of business
from a clothing house to a peanut
stand was closed. Barber shops, cigar
stores, lemonade and news stands and
drug stores were closed ; at tho last
named, however, prescriptions by
regular doctors were filled, but noth
ing save by such orders was sold.
The daily papers were not on sale at
the usual places, while from one end
of the city to the other it was impos
sible to buy either a glass of whisky,
a cigar or a glass of soda-water.
Across the 6tate line in Kansas, how-
ever. & different state of affairs exist
ed, snowing the difference between 1
prohibition and high license. As is
well known an imaginary line divides
Kansas City, Mo., from Kansas City,
Kan., in the western part of tbe city.
State Line street, it is called. To-day,
by just crossing tbe center line of this
street, which runs through a closely
populated district, liquor of all kinds
was to be had on Kansas soil. Thou
sands of thirsty Missourians availed
themselves of this fact, and stepping
across tbe line, first took a drink and
then stepped back. It was a novel
sight, but there was no way for the
officers of Missouri to stop it. But
two arrests were made in the city
during tho entire day, and it was the
most orderly Sunday Kansas City has
ever experienced.
The Sioax Iadlaa Tent the Ea
daraace of their Noble firaveu.
A Rosebud Agency, Dakota, special
says the annual snn dance of the Sioux
Indians occurred July 25th, afternoon,
at the camp near that agency. About
one thousand savages were present
from all parts of the reservation, and
a number of white visitors. Fifteen
warriors entered for the dance, having
fasted four days before entering upon
it. The bodies of all these were
frightfully lacerated, according to tbe
usual custom of the tribe in testing
the game qualities of the participants.
It is probable that this is the last time
the sun dauce will be permitted, as a
strong effort will be made to have the
government interfere.
A Shockiaa Casaalty.
Wheeling, W. Va., July 23. A
horrible accident occurred near Web
ster, Taylor county, this morning. A
farmer named Wm. Carson was driv
ing a mowing machine and holding in
his arms a child of three years, when
the horses became frightened and
threw the boy from the father's arms
in front of the cutter-bar. The father
jumped to 6ave the child and fell.
The machine ran over both. The boy
was cut to death, and the father hor
ribly mangled and fatally injured.
The machine was broken to pieces,
and one horse killed. It is feared
that the wife of the young farmer will
die from the effects of tbe sudden
shock.

Health Note.
Let us consider what delicate ma
chines we are; how intricate and
complicated tbe various parts; how
sensitive to every influence. What a
bundle of nerve, blood canals, absor
absorbentB, organs I Every second
the heart propells the life current
through all this machinery first to
itself (the heart), to the lungs, tbe
stomach, &c ; to tbe various parts of
the eye ind the other organs of sense.
At the same time the lungs cease
lessly pump fresh air to the blood.
The stomach, pancreas and intestines
are a great laboratory for the prepara
tion of new tissue out of all kinds of
raw material. The nerves are on tbe
alert for impressions conveying intel
ligence from the outside world to the
brain, and from one part of the body
to tbe other. It is a world in itself.
and a world of wonders, and receives
very properly the name of "micro
cosm," or little world. That this
wonderful machine should get out of
order is not a wonder; that it should
bear so much abuse is a wonder.
Now how careful onght we to be in
the handling of this machine I How
onght we to hesitate before intro
ducing between the delicate wheels a
foreign substance. Such carefulness
will look with suspicion upon any
substance which is known to disturb
the harmony of this "little world."
Such carefulness will demand a per-
feet knowledge of the character of
cvery article of food ; and it will in
gcnoral ruje out euch articles, the
natural history of which is doubtful.
The practice of buying things in tho
general markets, already prepared for
the table, is to be discouraged. For
all you know you may eat grease of
animals that died of disease. Vari
ous articles are doctored up with
coloring matter. It is a good rule to
prepare every article of food your
self, from tbe raw material which can
not be adulterated. It is superfluous
to- add that no perfectly sane and
sensible human being will knowingly
introduce a poisonous substance into
tho midst of this delicate machinery
such as alcohol, tobacco, opium; or
expose himself to the action of certain
other poisons in certain abodes which
could fitly be termed the "gates of
hell."
