The flag was placed at half mast on the state department building, ont of respect to the memory of Judge Black. The result of one day's hunt by the presidential party was one bear, three antelopes and a quantity of smaller game. The use of oil stoves has greatly diminished the consumption of coal among the poorer classes in New York. Last week terrific rain Btorms pre vailed in Ontario, Hooding the roads and carrying away buildings and bridges. For the past six months ending the 1st of August, 160 persons were killed and 401 injured on New York state railroads. Eaiil Si'enceu recently made a trip from Dublin to Cork. It is sta ted that tho whole route was guarded by police. An international iron and steel company, with a capital of $10,000,000 has filed articles of incorporation in New York. Prof. Aughey has resigned. His mythical frieud seems as much of a ghost as ever a creature of the imagination. The Nebraska university will enter upon its twelfth year, September 11, '83, with an ample corps of instructors in all departments. The Swiss railroad companies cov er a portion of their carriages with a phosphorescent preparation, which makes them visible at night. The U. S. government will proba bly be compelled in the future to take charge of or establish its own system of postal telegraphing. Eleven police justices in New York draw salaries of $8,000 each, or nearly as much as tho judges of the supreme bench at Washington. An eccentric lonnger in Tazewell county, Iowa, has thirteen large arm chairs in as many stores, so he can always have a scat when he calls. It is stated that forged drafts pur porting to be issued by the First National bank of Omaha on Kountz BroB., New York, are in circulation. The biggest run of salmon known in the lower Columbia river for five years occurred last Saturday week. The average catch per boat was 200 fish. A Boonville, Ivy., blacksmith blew up his boy with a bellows because the lad laughed when his father picked up s horseshoe which he thought was cold. A recent Mormon conferet.ee held at Salt Lake City sent out 200 mis sionaries, making 360 for the year. It is said of these 100 go to the southern states. The Second National Bank at War ren, Ohio, closed its doors the other evening. K. M. Fitch, cashier, is re ported a defaulter to the amount of 170,000. The other night in the vicinity of Canon City, Col., a vein of coal oil was struck, which has since yielded forty barrels a day, and of excellent quality. With a qnarter of a million dollars to expend en public improvements in Omaha, working men will have no trouble in obtaining constant em ployment The Italian government has receiv ed notice from the United States that a movement will be inaugurated in the next Congress to abolish the tariff on works of art. Nevada Indians have a good thing in being allowed to ride free over all tke railroads in the state, and they make the most of it. Pony "heap played out." The bodies of four me;, were found in a railroad camp near Cumberland i Falls, Tenn., the other day. It is supposed they fought and killed each other while gambling. Foub laborers, tried for repairing a railroad track on Sunday at Phila delphia, were acquitted, we suppose on the ground that the labor was a case of absolute necessity. A fibe at.Baltimore, Md., the other day burned Mattha, Ingram & Co.'s tinware factory and three or four other buildings adjoining. Loss on building and stock $100,000. The soldiers and sailors re-union at Crete was largely attended last week, by state militia, old soldiers and citi zens. The boys expected to have a good time. Gov. Dawes was on the ground. From St. Petersburg a telegram of recent date states-that twenty-two young meu who were students in the University and connected with the nihilist journal have been sent to Siberia. The first woman to arrive in Car bonate, Colo., received an ovation, marked by 6uch substantial tokens of welcome as a town lot, a mining claim, and the money with which to buy a silk dress. Another Penusylvanian has dis covered a new mechanical force, and the Chicago Herald says he wants us all to stand on tiptoe to hear it hum. His name is Bromily, and he claims to multiply power without fuel. The frame barn of Wm. Hagee, cashier of the State Central Bank, at Grand Island, Neb., burned one day last week. By the exertions of the fire department his fine residence waB saved. The fire was started by chil dren playing with matches. Last week there was almost a panic at the Stock Exchange at London in American railway securities, which are generally depressed and difficult to sell. American government bonds are not affected by the unfavorable feeling in railway securities. If correct, a sad accident "ib report ed as happening the day of the cyclone between Rochester and Zumbroto, Minn., on the Rochester and northern division of the Chicago & Northwest ern railroad, by which about 100 peo ple were killed and wounded. The Rev. Wm. Cole, a'Baptist cler gyman of Lowell, started from there fourteen months ago with his horse and buggy, and has just returned from a point some distance beyond Minneapolis, Minn., having covered the whole distance in a carriage. The Omaha Bee says "Nebraska merchants laugh at rumors of panic while the prospect for an abundant harvest continues as it is at present. Two million acres of corn will break the back of any panic that manages to work its way as far west as Ne braska." A terrible cyclone on the 21st inst. 6truck Rochester, Minn., killing about twenty-six persons and serious ly injuring about forty-one others. Rochester was a beautiful city of eight or nine thousand inhabitants, one-third of which by this storm has been laid in ruins. A very remarkable counterfeit coin has been submitted by the secret ser vice division to the Supt. of the Phil adelphia mint. It is a five dollar gold piece, and the report upon it Btates that it is 832-1000 fine, the standard for coin being 900-1000. The coin is now worth $4.63. The following relative to the tele graphers' strike, was sent out from New York last week : "The execu tive board of the brotherhood regret to say that the strike is a failure. All the members who can, may return to work immediately. Circulars follow by mail. John Campbell." It is stated that Oregon had a yery dry season this year, and on account of a cold and wet spring and a hot and dry summer, crops are exceed ingly slim, and not more than half the average is expected. Fruit is almost an entire failure. Business in all departments suffers in consequence. Forest fires on the22d were raging all day about Ashland, Wis., and tho place had a narrow escape from des truction. The mills shut down and the men turned out in gangs to fight the flames. The Omaha depot caught fire several times, but was 6aved. Finally a rain came up and extin guished the fire. Mrs. Drake, a sister of Judge Smith, of New York, a widow lady, located a year ago on 800 acres of land near Huron, D. T., as a farmer, and is raising grain on a large scale. Her wheat, oats, and flax fields are yielding enormous crops, and the prices are good. She finds no diffi culty in conducting her business to advantage. London musicians have been a lit tle excited and surprised by the very brilliant debut of Miss Virginia Ryder, the American pianist, at the Crystal Palace, one day last week. Miss Ryder's performance is spoken of by all who heard her as a success seldom The Judicial District Convention of this (the 4th) judicial district is called for September 20th. This district is composed of Dodge, Saunders, Butler, Colfax, Platte, Merrick and Nance counties. This county has nine dele gates in the convention composed of thirty-nine members. This convention will nominate a! judge and district attorney. The vacancy in the judgeship incident to the division of the old 4th district was filled by appointment of Judge A. M. Post, of Columbus, by Gov. Dawes. At the time of the appoint ment there was some fault found at this end of the district because a brother of the former judge, George W. Post, was appointed. This fault finding grew ont of the fact that G. W. Post was not in all respects satis factory to the bar and the people, and expressions to the effect that we bad had enough Post was not infrequent. But A. M. Post was the judge, and the. bar, throwing aside any precon ceived notions as to his qualifications, bo far as we can learn, accorded to him the right which every man has, of being judged on his own merits instead of upon the merits or demerits of his brother. The result has been, so far as we can learn, almost perfect satisfaction on the part of the bar in this county, and we have not heard a complaint from abroad. He has acquired a reputation for learning and good judgment, for grace and impar tiality, and for dignified gentlemauli- ness in this part of the district which will insure him, we believe, a hearty and energetic support for renomina- tion at the coming convention, atjeast at the hands of Saunders county's delegation. Should he be renominated it will doubtless be considered a practical endorsement of Gov. Dawes in mak ing the appointment, and quite as gratifying to him as to Judge Post himself.-Wahoo Tribune. TRULY TDIEE.Y. For the Season is just Bight for Such a Trip as Uniunea )ery interesting ieums or sepiera A young girl arrived the other day at Grand Island from Germany, and her friendB not being in town she accepted an invitation from a farmer named Plummer to ride in hiB wagon into the neighborhood where her friends resided. On the road, in an out of the way place, Plummer com mitted a devilish assault upon her with a fiendish and lecherous purpose, but the girl fought him and getting away, finally reached her destination. There is strong talk of prosecuting Plummer, and some think he ought to have a coat of tar and feathers. The trouble with all such creatures is that they lack manliness, or nobility, that spirit which instinctively protects the weak and guards the defenceless. Judge Jebe Black died at York, Pa., at ten minutes past 2 o'clock on the 19th inst. Though not unexpect ed, his death wsb a sudden shock to the community. From the beginning of his illness the judge believed he never would recover, and was en tirely resigned. His funeral took place on the 21st and was by far the largest ever seen in York. All busi ness was suspended, and the streets thronged with people as the funeral cortege passed. Many distinguished persons were present. The pall bear ers were Gen. Hancock, Judge Gib son, Judge Wickes, G. Small, Gen. S. A. Crawford, Chief Justice Mercury, A. B. Farquhar, G. H. Spriggs, Judge Bear and W. L. Small. The Mt. Sterling accommodation to Lexington, Ky., ran into the rear car of a train on the Kentucky railway at Winchester crossing the other day exploding four hundred kegs of giaut powder. The depot was wrecked and the engine blown to atoms. Engineer Wheeler was not found. Yard mas ter Randall was killed, conductor McMichael fatally injured, and Beven others supposed to be killed. Perhaps this was the most terrific explosion ever known in America. The Chicago Inter Ocean says "the present depression in stocks is some thing more than bear-baiting and bull-fighting. The drop is too great for that. It is certainly not due to a stringent money market. No pan icky feeling prevails. The banks are ready to accommodate borrowers, as usual. The people are coming to their senses. The lambs do not pro pose to have this clip of wool sheared on Wall Btreet. This is about the size of it." bet's Grand Series of Excursions. The grand excursions eastward an nounced for September by the Balti more and Ohio arc attracting wide spread attention, and it is not strange that such should be the case, as no more attractive trip has been offered for years. In the way of rates the programme is particularly enticing, as it is very rarely indeed nowadays that a reduction on tickets is consent ed to, down to so low a figure as half fare, or one regular fare for the round trip, thus taking in the enormous ter ritory covered by the B. & O. system, of which Chicago, Columbus, St. Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati and Pittsburg are important centres. Ev ery preparation is being made in the matter of cars, dining accommoda tions and the like, and the excursions will be remarkable for complete and thorough facilities to insure absence of crowding and the perfect comfort of all. Magnificent new parlor and sleeping cars will be run through without change, elegant dining cars provided and new day coaches iu abundance. From Baltimore and Washington extensive facilities will be offered for the continuous enjoy ment of the excursionists. Two lines of steamers will be on from Wash ington to Old Point Comfort, Fortress Monroe and Norfolk, with the fare not exceeding one dollar and a-half for the round trip. The famous Bay Line of steamers from Baltimore to the points named will afford ample accommodation on superb vessels lighted with electricity. The noted Hygiea Hotel at Old Point is of im mense dimensions, one of the largest sea-shore or watering-place houses in fact in the country. It is a glorious trip down the beautiful Chesapeake Bay to tho Atlantic Ocean. Old Point never looked more attractive than now, and its bathing shore is a sight to look upon when filled, as it is every day, with hundreds of merry bathers tumbling about in the surf. Fortress Monroe is but a few steps from the hotel and open to tourists, as are all the many places of great historic in terest within easy reach ou the Penin sula, so celebrated in the annals of the war; the Soldiers' Home, Hamp ton Church and too many other points to mention, while a brief steamboat ride lands the tourist in Norfolk, Portsmouth and other Vir ginia centres of interest. Making the trip from either Washington or Bal timore one night, and back the next, the excursionist has the whole day at the sea-shore. From Baltimore or Washington it is only a little over two hours' ride to Harper's Ferry, the most noted spot perhaps among all the historic centres on. the Potomac. The lovely river is followed a greater portion of the distance, and at the Ferry one stands at the intersection of three States Virginia, West Vir ginia and Maryland all replete with memorable recollections. John Brown's old fort still stands, so do the ruins of the old arsenal, Jefferson Rock, etc., etc. The round trip costs but about a dollar and a-half, and the money well spent. Another inexpen sive trip, and a most delightful one, too, is that from Washington down the Potomac, . skirted by .historic shores, to Mount Vernon. From Bal timore and Washington special fast excursion trains will be run to the wonderful Luray Caverns of Virginia, unquestionably greatly superior to any other known subterranean cham ber. Tho fare, three fifty for the round trip, including admission to the caverns. In addition, there will be short steamboat trips down the Chesapeake Bay, with as low a rate as fifty cents for the round trip, and in fact no eud of pleasure to be com manded at practically nominal fig ures. From Baltimore to Washington and return, or Washington to Balti more and return, the round trip will only be a dollar twenty, with trains at least every hour, and often hardly more than a quartor of an hour apart. The distance is but forty miles, and B. &. O. trains make it in fifty min utes, some of them, and others in one hour. This enables frequent visits from one city to the other, and excur sionists who prefer may make their headquarters in Washington, whero there are hotel accommodations for a very multitude. Baltimore is also exceedingly well provided with ho tels, and in either city the regular rates will be strictly adhered to. Thoec who contemplate securing sleeping-car accommodations en route will do well to write to B. & O. agents to this end, also as regards any infor mation which may bo desired. The preparations for the grand Oriole fes tival in Baltimore are being pushed forward with great energy and upon a hitherto unprecedented scale. The mystic pageant on the night of Sep tember 13th will itself be worth a 1 journey of a thousand miles or more to witness. Nothing approaching it in extent and grandeur was ever be fore attempted in the world. All three of the carnival nights will be strikingly brilliant, as the programme is replete with novel features. at the bottom of the latter and are centric. Of what use can it be, to j,'ain the whole world and lose the soul, thai is self? When the soul, the self, is des troyed, fatally injured, there is evi dently nothing leftthat is the eud of all for thut individual. Hence, to preserve the soul, the self, the health, in it6 centre and its periphery, i the first, the supreme business of every man. Columbus KRAUSE, LUBKER & CO. Nebraska State Farmers' Alliance.

Pike sawdust, highly compressed, has been successfully used to make up center frames of carriage wheels. It is said to be so solid that it will bear a pressure equal to twenty-three tons per square inch. As sawdust has also been ujed for partitions and bricks, its application to the production of complex carvings and moldings does not seem to be far off. Lord Edmtjxd Fitzmaurice, under foreign secretary, stated in commons the other day in London that the gov ernment of Great Britain had asked the Russian government to give an explanation in regard to the expulsion from Bnssia, on the 15th, of a British Jew, representing a London business firm, who was provided with the proper British passport. Albekt Tabor living near Grand Island, while descending from a load of grain slipped and was impaled on one of the sharp corner stakes of the rack, which entered near the rectum and penetrated several inches, lacer ating the bowels and inflicting a most ugly and dangerous wound.

Another spot for pilgrimage will soon be added to tho shores of the Potomac, the government having pur chased twenty acres of land, being the site of the birthplace of the father of his country, and which contains the tomb where his remains now lie. The government intends to enclose the twenty acres and otherwise improve the premises too long neglected. Ezra Douglas and his wife, of Ne braska City, one night last week had quite a dispute and an excited quarrel, which ended in his wife shooting and instantly killing him and then shoot ing and taking her own life.

Look at a healthy ehild. What roundness of form, what fine curves, what graceful gestures ! There is nothing abrupt, or forced, or unnatural, or affected. The changes from this condition to tho re verse are gradually produced, as the child becomes a man. or a woman, by hard labor, by privations, by physical or mental suffering, but above all by the destructive power of vile passionB. A word to the wise is sufficient. "The "Will must sit supreme." Here we touch on the core of the difficulty. Ill-health is much more the result of weakness and perversity of Will than is generally supposed. Also, reverse ly, ill-health leads to Will-weakness. Ignorance of the laws of health is a source of much suffering; yet a com plete knowledge of them is not suffi cient. We must also be in possession of the Will power to live in accord ance with them. How and where obtain this Will power? To answer this question and to solve this su preme problem is the proper and peculiar province of religion. The object of religious activity is the com plete and perfect health and sound ness of the human being using the term health not in its limited, but in its universal snd philosophical sense. From this high philosophical stand point, pride, selfishness, hatred, un charitablenesB, envy, malice, levity, profanity, irreverence, carnal lust, un truthfulness, are all so many dis eases, or rather, the various symptoms of one fundamental disease. And these deeper diseases are of greater importance than the mere physical and superficial, Inasmuch as they are FIXAIj PROOF.
