Ex-Gov. Thayer came in on tho late train, and was sur prised to learn that tho case had been called in the Supreme Court during his absence, and that it had been dis missed, lie was looking for a mandate to be sent direct to tho Clerk of the Court, and ho had no notice nor did any of his attorneys. They sav that the mandate had arrived, or that action was going to bo immediately taken upon it. He looks on the proceedings as snap judgment, aud he proposes to apply to. the Supremo Court to have the case re opened, and if successful will file a re ply to lloyd's answer. The issues will then be joined fairly on tho question of L'ovd's citizenship, aud the evidence can be taken. Gov. Thayer said that it was a question of principle with him, and he would light it to a finish. The decision of the Supremo Court of the United States was on demurrer,and the main question was not properly befoic the court He thinks it would form a bad precedent to allow the case to go 'own to history in such an unfinished state.

I have absolutely no desire to again assume the duties of the Governorship, but I do want to see the quest'ou wlfch is raised in this case settled, and this is tho sole reason or furthor contesting the matter."

A StjtouKU Of tho leading buslOOM men of Cuibertsorl have made a new appropriation o! the waidf' fldwiflg irt tho Frenchman River at PaiiadV This water was appropriated nearly two years ago by tho projectors of tho bi Culbertson ditch. The ditch was partially completed to that place at considel-abld cost The present owners or the ditch having failed for several months past to prosccuto tho wofk as contemplated by tho law, the new ap propriation was accordingly mado. There will doubtless be plenty of litiga tion betweoti tho new and old claimants to the water, which ma last a number of years. Death or Hon. George Everett. Hox. Georoe B.

Kuhlman sues the Zions Evangelical Lutheran Church of Roca for S33.33 for salary from April 1 to May 11, 1SS9. He says that they agreed to pay him, but have failed to do so. All have heard of cases whore the gentle, for bearing pastor of country churches haa received but a small portion of the. stipend promised, but Rev. Kuhlman is evidently of the opinion that tho laborer Is worthy of his hire aud proposes to get it. She Used a Horse Whip. Mns. Nagleschmidt, a buxom lady of middle age, was fined S5 and costs at Grand Island, for horsewhipping John Berry. Berry opened a road, which tho woman immediately closed by replacing tho fence.

He had good clothes and 15 in money. There was no indi cation that ho had been drinking nor any'sign of violence. It is supposed he was insane. The Assaulted Judge Improv ng. Av unexpected and wonderful im provement has taken place in Judge Borgcit's condition at Lincoln. Judge Cochran dropped in to sco him and found him dressed aud able to walk around.

There are books and books, and American colleges are every year add ing largely to their libraries.

It is the present status that counts As has been remarked, Daniel Dough erty objects to the size of the Chicagc wigwam. Let Daniel rest his soul in patience. Vhateor the size of the hall, the convention will be favorablf to silver-tongued orators. Pearls may come down in price if a man can make them. By simply boring holes in pearl oysters and dropping in minute glass beads and hermetically scaling the holes, M. Bouchon Brande ley, a dist'nguished Frenchman, har succeeded in making pearls artificially. Comforts have been multiplying and much to the advantage of the people. It is interesting to learn that in tho ninth century European kings woro wooden shoes. In those days, in fact, a monarch did not possess one-half ol the creature comforts and luxuries that tho humblest peasant can now obtain. A travei.ino theatrical manager re cently wrote to the owner of a hall in a small town in the State of Washing ton for a booking. He received the fol lowing answer: "Yours to hand, won't play on shairs no more. Yout cumpany will hav to send mo ten Dol lars for one night and supply thair own kerroscan and lamps. Thev will allso hav to build thair own staige, hecaus the last cumpany broke it uown. Thair ain't no money in plains on shairs in this town, and I wont a shuro thing." S.MKL.T are running up some of tho rivers of Washington in extraordinary numbers, and the run is much thesamf as tho phenomenal run of salmon lasf fall. Thousands of pounds of smelt have been caught, and in many place? where the fish are a fisherman can stand on the bank and with a smal scoop not dip out more hsh m a few minutes than he can carry away. I is said that the rivers in some parts of their course are choked. Great quanti ties of fish have been cured iu different, ways, but- frcsii fish is a drug on the market. The American three-masted schoonei Wycr G. Sargent, which was abandoned off Uattcras on March 31. 1-iH, has drifted more than 3,000 miles since that date, and has become famous among North Atlantic derelicts. Mie was sighted last on Feb. 10 by tho steam ship YV. I. Radcliff. She was then about 1,000 miles west of the Cape Verde Islands, iu fairly good condition and with the stump of her mainmast stand ing. V hen abandoned in a water-IoggisJ condition the schooner had S20.0 0 worth of mahogany under her hatches, and wreckers have sought in vain to bring this rich prize into port. Co.vri:. Cor.A County, Cali.'otnia. ha originated a system of numbering coun try houses which deserves attention. Like every other Western deiise of tho sort it i-. simple and practicable. AM the country loads are divided into blocks, ten to a mile, by imaginary cir cles radiating from the county?eat. and each block is given two numbers, the odd number for tho left or the road and tho even for the right. Of course in the West, where the counties ar.-nearly all square blocks, the choice of a cen tral point is much easier than in the East. The Postmaster General has the plan under consideration in connection with the free delivery system forgenerjl adoption. In 2CS B. C. Archimeds devised a mar velous ship for Hiero of Syracuse. Her three lofty masts had been brought fro n Britain, whereas our ships' masts are or iron or obtained from New Zealand or from Vancouver Island. Luxuriously fitted sleeping apartments abounded and one of her banquet halls was ptved with agate and costly Sicilian stone. Other floors were cunningly inlaid with scenes from the "Iliad." Stables for many horses, ponds stocked with live fish, gardens watered by artificial rivu lets aud hot baths were provided for use or amusement. Ptolemy Philopater possessoJ a nuptial yacht, the Thala megon, 312 feet long and 45 feet deep. A graceful gallery, supported by curi ously carved columns, rati around the vessel, and within were temples of Venu? and of Bacchus.
