J-i ids intention to push the United
State Post-Ofllce and Custom House
to an early completion.
The building has been umlercon
gtructlon abaut three times as long
n-s it should have been, and we im
agine certain nameless parties would
willingly extend the agony to an
indefinite period. Tho disinterested
citizens of Omaha are, however,
beginning to be disgusted with
these interminable and we think
Inexcusable delays. It is therefore
to be hoped Mr. Mullet's presence
means business.
You must alwaj's go away from
homo if you want to hear the
latest news. According to the
Lincoln Journal the MHy periodical
attacks on the State University, in
tho Omaha Herald is the budding
forth of a wiley and secret scheme
to move the institution up to Oma
ha and incorporate it into its costly
experiment of a high school, and
that some of the underground poli
ticians of that "burg are waiting to
trade with the capital movers on
this basis. The Lincoln editor is
known to be a very successful snipe
hunter, but we apprehend lie has
trapped a huge decoy duck this
lime.
gTTlflCIPAL LOOSENESS.
And now it transpires that the
City of Omaha owns real estate, of
which no record can bo found in
any of our municipal offices. This
Tact was recently brought to the at
tention of Mayor Chase, by parties
who had been occupants of city lots,
about which no mention is made
in -the abstract book of city property.
This looseness in municipal afiltirais
"however, only in full keeping with
tile Inexcusable irregularities that
.prevail throughout the whole sys
tem. Mayor Chase is the
first municipal executive who
has taken the pains to procure a full
inventory of city property in each
of the various municipal depart
ments, and for this he deserves
great credit. It eeni3 to us, how
ever, that a great corjioration like
the city of Omaha, should have a
reliable record of every inch of real
estate of which they can claim
ownership. In our opinion a mere
abstract or lit, made up by real es
tate agents, will not fill the bill.
11 suouiu ue mane tne espec
ial duty of the city attorney,
or some other competent attorney
to carefully examine the county
records for the purpose of ascertain
ing the description and location of
every lot or part of lot owned by
the city. These attorneys should
abo Investigate the conditions upon
which the city deeded or leased her
property, and whether any of the
property sold, donated or leased by
lue city, doe3 not revet to the city
by the failure of the purchasers,
granteesorles-seestocomplywith the
original conditions of the transfer.
"Wo apprehend that careful investi
gation Mill disclose tliat projwrty
now held or claimed by individuals
or corporations originally owned by
the city has leea forfeited by rea
son of their non-camplianee with
contract stipulations; and this brings
us to another important subject.
Few of our citizens are- aware that
neither the original map or any
subsequcnt map of the City of Oma
ha has ever bseu -recorded. If we

oTthe original Jone3 map now in
this city is in possession of Mr. By-
lii i.evu. w'rt'J.-v "- "-AV -.- 1
bo destroyed or lost, -where can re
ever procure an authentic-record of
original locations and surveys.
"Why a matter of such vast im
portance to our citizens should have
been neglected for eighteen years
passes our comprehension. It is a
well known fact that the original
surveys of Omaha were not very
accurate. Some blocks in the pres
ent business center of this city
cover more ground than others.
Some of the streets are not exactly
paralell. It is therefore of the ut
most importance that the County
Clerk's office should contain a relia
ble record of these surveys, includ
ing a copy of' the original maps.
Mayor Chase is on the right track
bat we hope ho will not stop until
the affairs of this city are put on as
sound a basis as those of any well
conducted private corporation.
The re-location of army head
quarters from Washington to St.
LouLs seems now to be definitely ar
ranged. With General Sherman at
St. Louis it will naturally follow
that Sheridan's presence at Chicago
would practically become superflu
ous. It becomes self-evident that it
would be an expensive luxury to
keep up Lieutenant General's
headquarters located at a greater
distance from Department head
quarters at Omaha, Leaven
worth and San Antonio than Gen
eral Sherman would be when at St
Louis.
We shall therefore not be sur
prised if the relocation of General
Sherman's headquarters, would in
volve a relocation of General Sheri
dan's headquarters, and a possible
readjustment of Department boun
daries. Omaha, it seems to us,
would be a very desirable location
for the Lieutenant General. He
would be near enough to the De
partment of the Missouri, and at the
same timo at a Uesirahle distance
from the great Indian reservations,
north and west.
The White Slaves ofEneland.
Under the above head the New
York World gives, from Its London
correspondent, some account of the
condition of the working classes of
England. He lias been looking
over the report of the Inspectors of
Factories for the last year. The In
spectors visited the brick-makers,
and they report that those laborers
are "a most barbarous, semi-civilized,
ignorant set. Men and boys
look like red Indians; the sand used
in brick-making being burnt red,
their bodies are covered with it.
They work bare-headed, barefooted,
with exposed breasts, and with wild
looks. Drinking all day Sunday,
Monday and Tuesday dog-fighting
and man-fighting, they resume work
on Wednesdays, when the poor little
unfortunates (that is, the children
of both sexes, who are-made to do
the hardest part of the labor) are
made to toil away, stamping and
carrying, and pressing a good fort
night's work into three or four
days. One man, who last week
earned in four days twenty-eight
shillings (0.50 In gold), took his
wife home a loaf of bread and six
pence." The law that children under 12
years of age must not be made to
work is systematically disregard
ed. Cases are given Avhcre chil
dren ten or twelve years old are
made to do night work, and havo
but seven hours of the twenty-four
for sleep and meals. These reports
from the brick works are bad enough
but what can we say of the stories
told of the salt works at Droilwich?
In these the women work with the
men all night, both sexes stripped
to the waist, and very little clothing
to cover them below. The mpn wear
short breeches simpty, and the wo
men have on only a single garment,
a skirt, tied about the waist and
reaching to the knees.
The scenes nightly enacted in
thee works are said to be horrible
beyond description, and chastity,
morality and decency are, among
the workers, words destitute of
meaning. This is a brief glimpse
into the condition of tho toiling
masses of the "proudest and most
enlightened nation upon the
globe," the country upon which
the sun never sets. Every
true Briton's heart will probably
swell with pride at the view.
England sends year after year her
wealth and her missionaries to
other lands, to assist and educate,
and clothe and civilize the heathen,
while her own flesh and blood at
home is living in destitution, misery
and shame. This is the "finest peas
antry in the world," of which
England boasts. Let the America'n
working people turn from the pic
ture, view their own condition and
be happy.

SERENADE BY A FA1KER.
Oh. come my love and live with me ;
And keep my cottaeln the glen,
And patient as a bumble-bee
And busy as a sitting hen.
Oh, rest beneath my fragrant Cower;
Where sweet starmonium doth entwine ;
Coine smell the gentle cauliflower
And cuU the mangle-wirtiel Tine.
Ah. listen to the rural songs I
The pea shall wind his magic shell,
As Echo plaintively prolongs
The warble of the pimpernel.
Bayond the vermicelli sow
1 hear the buU.frogssIgh again
The cackle cf the Durham ewe
The bellow of the Berkshire hen.
Oh, come love, come, the moral is fair,
I'll celebrata the day with thee ;
I'll merrily dig the Bartlett pear.
And shake the rata baga tree.
O'j, hump yourself, my lovely Poll.
And In the cause of anti-monop.
We'll mulch the turkeys in the fall.
And graft the long clam on the crop.
My sweetest ! I am fond of mush.
And thou will set some ut for me ;
Ws'll early sow the currant bush.
And tap the cranberry-jelly tree.
We'll pull the wool from off the calf.
The cottonwood its fleece shall shed ;
So at the winter we shall laugh.
And gaily weed the oyster bed.
We'll bl Ithely hoe the winter wheat.
We'll chase the egg's the squirrels lay.
And when the bantam heg shall bleat
We'll leed him with some clover hay.
All savory game to thae I'll bring ;
The burdoc knows my spear is sharp ;
I'll shoot the dolphin on the wing
And hit him in the pericarp.
Then come my lore and live with me ;
And beautify my lonely den,
As patient as a bumble-bee,
And busy as a sitting hen.

The Los Angeles public library
has made the addition of a second
natural curiosity a mammoth
shrimp, nicely bottled and pickled
down in vinegar. The specimen is
about eight inches long by four in
circumference, having the general
form of a shrimp, with protruding
eyes, long feelers, and every other
characteristic, except the usual size
and color, which is a light red.
Mocking birds can imitate human
actions as well as human voices, it
seems. A Macon, Ga., paper says
that two birds of this stripe got
jealous of eacli other and under
took to fight it out in desperate
fashion. One of them, getting
enough of it sang out Mquit, quit,"
and followed this up by crying
"police, police." And, oddly
enough, there was a policeman
within hearing who came up and
stopped the fight.
A spaniel named "Curie'" is the
regular mail-carrier between a
settlement called Lake of Two

to go, and never fails to reach his
destination. Arriving, the mail is

The seals in the Brighton, Eng
land, Aquarium are in a room where
concerts are occasionally given. It
is said that the animals are greatly
affected by vocal music, and lately
became very disorderly during a
performance, rushing about in the
water and making a noise which
almost drowned the voice of the
singer. Instrumental music does
not seem to affect them so power
fully, but the more sweet and tender
the voice of the singer the more
powerfully they are affected.
A gentleman at Helena, Monta
na Territory, has a pair of huge
mountain lions, or cougars, which
he has raised from whelps. These
beasts are now about two years old,
and fully :is large as a good-sized
panther. They do not obtain their
full growth until four years of age.
They are very ferocious, and give
no evidence of becoming tractable;
and an ordinary sized dog thrown
into the cage, did not survive long
enough to give a yelp. The owner
says they have already devoured
some ten or twelve dogs, aud twen
ty or thirty cats, which have been
given them to play with.
A correspondent writes as follows
of a celebrated place in Colorado
Canon, called Echo Park: "When
a gun, is discharged, total silence
follows the report for a moment;
then, with startling suddenness,the
echo is heard, seeming at a great
distance say five miles to the south
whence it comes back in separate
and distnctreverberationSjas if leap
ing from glen to glen. Louder and
quicker grows the sound, until ap
parently directly opposite, when a
full volume of sound is returned;
then once more the echo is heard,
like the snapping of a cap, far to the
eastward."
The New Haven Journal records
the case of a young lady in that citj
who had been lying in a cataleptic
trance since the night of Wednes
day of last week. She retired on
that night in full possession of cood
uL-iuiu, uuu in me morning sue was
found, body and limbs perfectly
rigid, and has remained so ever
since. Another singular circum
stance attending this ease is that
about a year ago she lost all power
of speech for twenty-four hours, and
upon regaining it she could articu
late nothing but German, a lan
guage which she has never learned.
The so-called vegetable wax of
Japan and China is, in reality, the

were exported Irom China in 1870.
The pretty little plant called the
Drosera, or sundew, says the Provi

strange animal instincts. It is a
charming plant, with its lovely pink
blossoms, while the dew-like mi!..

It a most cool and refreshing appear

But though it looks the very pic
ture of innocence and gentleness, It
has a strange taste for seizing, kill
ing, anu suciong tne Wood of In
sects, and for grasping and eating
raw beef. Mrs. Mary Treat has
contributed to the American Natu
ralist some very curious observations
made on this remarkable plant She
found the specimens upon which she
experimented in New Jersey. The
plant was In full bloom and growing
very thickly on either side of an ex
tensive cranberry plantation. The
first experiment was made with the
best known species, the Dorsera fili
formis. Some livinir flies were
pinned half an inch from the leaves,
near the apex, about ten o'clock in
the morning. In forty minutes the
leaves had bent perceptibly toward
the flies. In two hours the leaves
had reached the flies, and their
leaves were entangled among the
bristles and held fast. The flies
were then removed three-quarters
of an inch further from the leaves.
The leaves still remained bent to
ward the flies, but could not reach
them at this distance. The-observer
thinks that the action of
the flies' wings may have crea
ted sufficient force to bring the
leaves near enough to entangle the
flies, for dead flies failed to produce
the same result as living ones. On
the same day bits of raw beef were
placed oft- some of the most vigor
ous leaves of another species of the
plant, the Drosera longifolia. In
two hours two of the leaves had fol
ded around the beef, hiding it from
sight. Living flies were also placed
upon the same species of the plant.
In a little more than an hour one
of the leaves had folded entirely
around its victim, the other leaves
had practically folded, and the flies
had ceased to struggle. Two hours
later, four leaves had each folded
around a fly.

The bulletin of the American Iron
and Steel Association reports the
condition of the trade at the end of
April as in a "state of paralysis in
every branch."
The production of wool in the
United States during the past four
years was: In 1870, 125,000,000
pounds; in 1871, 112,500,000 pounds;
in 1872, 135,000,000pounds; in 1873,
148,000,000 pounds.
France last year produced 1,381,
000 tons of pig iron, being 200,000
tons more than in 1872. Her produc
tion of steel was 107,677 tons, viz.,
64,444 tons cast steel, and 103,233
tons Bessemer steel.
The Manchester, (N. H.) Print
Works have passed into the ha'nds
of a new Company, with a capital
stock of $2,000,000, one-half of which
has been taken by stockholders of
the old corporation. The works
suffered no discontinuation of busi
ness. A company has been formed in
Pittsficld, Mass., for the purpose of
inducing manufacturers to settle
there by providing them with suita
ble buildings and steam power. It
has received a gift of twelve acres
of land from a real estate owner and
is erecting a large factory thereon.
The cleansing of cotton which has
been used for oiling machinery, is
now a regular business In Westville,
Conn. By the aid of machinery
the oil is extracted from the cotton,
and sold for lubricating purposes.
The cotton is then subjected to a
bleaching process, by which it is re
stored to its original whiteness.
Iron ore has been found for the
first time in Schuylkill County,
Penn., on property within the city
limits of Pottsvillc. This discovery,
which may lead to others, is expect
ed to benefit that section of Penn
sylvania which has hitherto pro
cured ore for its furnaces from places
more or less distant.
The total value of metals mined
in Great Britain last year was$110,
800,000; of minerals, pottery ma
terials, etc., $9,000,000; of ooal,
$531,400,000; total, $651,200,000.
The exoess of value over 1875 is
about $66,400,000, and is due to the
influence of the combustible ele
ment, which has attained exception
ally high prices. The increase in
the production of coal was 4,305,
617 tons.
The building of wooden ships is
making fair progress at the New
England ship-yards, despite the
preference accorded to iron vessels.
In Newburyport a ship of 1,500 tons
has been launched, and two others
are building. At Kennebunkport
one of 1,600 tons Is on the stocks,
while at Richmond one of 1,200
tons is buiiding, and the materials
for another of 2,000 have been col
lected. Grange Decisions.
The various masters of the differ
ent State Granges have made the
following decisions, which will ma
terially aid subordinate granges in
their deliberations ;
Members not clear on the books
should not be given tho annual
word.
A past master has the same right
as any other member, and no more.
Granges cannot constitutionally
refund or remit any of the initiation
fees.
A suDordinate grange cannot
change the by-law requiring money
to accompany the petition.
A grange cannot take a note for
fees or vote back any fees after they
have been paid in.
Standing committees on applica
tions are illegal ; all committees on
applications must be special.
Rituals are not to be distributed
among the different members of
the grange, but to be kept by the
officer.
No dispensation can be filled out
after the application has been sent
off by the deputy.
Every candidate for initiation
must be balloted for, whether the
committee reports pro or con.
When the M. and O. are both ab
sent a P. M. should take the chair,
if there be one present, if not then
elect a master pro tan. There is no
authority to make the steward mas
ter, as he is outranked by the lec
turer. A grange cannot change its place
of meeting into the jurisdiction of
another grange without obtaining
the consent of the grantreinto whose
jurisdiction they propose to hold, the
meetings.
Where persons from one jurisdic
tion are taken into another grange
without consent, the grange whose
territory was encroached on may
claim the Zee, but the other
grange retains the member.
I do not hold that a true patron
must forever be a farmer. If his
record remains good he has a per
fect right to follow' any honorable
occupation. If a deputy knowingly
admit at the time of organization
as charter members, or a grange
shall admit by initiation a dealer in
intoxicating liquors or an habitual
drunkard, said deputy shall, upon
complaint, be subject to be deprived
of his commission, and said grange
to the surrender of its charter.
