PRACTICE WHATY0TJF1XA.CH
Ministers seldom practice
what
often
they preach, doctors do not
swallow their own pills, and editors
often give other people advice which
they would not willingly apply to
their own condition.
Sam Slick might call this human
nature, but the Bee prefers to pro
nounce it human depravity in its
refined essence. Nowhere does this
hypocritical depravity exhibit more
marked effects than in the
selfish and penurious pu
tice of certain citizens of Oma
ha, who are loud-mouthed about
' aweouraging home Industry, and are
always making their purchases and
investments abroad. While, in
some rare instances, these picayunish
gentlemen may succeed in saving a
few pennies, in nine cases out of ten
they are simply damaging .their
neighbors, by their contemptible
example, without materially bene
flttiftf themselves. A few illustra
tions 1b point may suffice : Some
of our most prominent citizens
make it a regular practice to buy
their railroad tickets to Chicago,
Bt .Louis, and other eastern and
southern points, at Spoon Lake sta
tion, because they imagine a possi
ble saving of twenty-five to fifty
cents.
Now the fact is that the rates
charged by the Omaha ticket,
agents, are precisely the same as
those charged at Spoon Lake, plus
the regular bridge transfer, rates.
They sell tickets with or without
these transfer coupons, and there
Jom there can be no possible, advan
tage in patronizing Spoon Lake.
Jf this small practice of- some of our
Omaha nabobs should become
general, the eastern and souths
em companies would soon
close their Omaha offices, and.
aUspense -with the Omaha agents.
People who read the Omaha Herald
will doubtless remember the many
stirring appeals to our citizens to
patronize .home industry, ,to build
.up home manufactures by liberal
"Inducements. And now when the
Mendd te erecting a palatial struc
ture adjoining the Grand Central

cheap advice into .practice by pur

At the same time it cannot repress
:a feeling .of disappointment at the(
policy: hist maugurated by President
DiUWin the Union Pacific car and
jnachhae. departments., .
We had been repeatedly assured
from official quarters that the com
pany proposed to enlarge its manu-
fcirtnrirjar -facilities in Omaha and
"Increase Its mechanical force.- Such '
.agoJioy woaia, if carried' if, Jiave
partly compensated umana ior uiu

panies failure to'complete the depot
and general office buildings.

anticipations might have been born
with equianimlty, but whemPresi
dent Dillon ordered a discharge of a
large' proportion .of,-the present
working force la iheshops ha'Jh&a
struck a blow at Omaha that will
soon be felt by all classes of her
citizens.
Already one hundred and twenty
mechanics have been thrown out of
.employment, and we understand
further discharges may soon follow.
Assuming an average income of
$2.50 per day for each mechanic
there is a reduction of $300 per day,
or $7,800 per month in our current
money' circulation.
We areinformed that this policy
has been prompted, partly by a de
sire for economy and retrenchment,
and principally because cars can be
manufactured cheaper at eastern
factories than at Omaha. Now,
admitting this fact, we apprehend
that the superior finish and in
creased durability of tho Omaha
built cars over those built at eastern
factories, will more than make up
the difference in the original cost
Even if the actual cost of Omaha
built cars was not fully compensated
for by the improved finish and
strength, the Company could well
aflbrdte encourage manufacturing
at this point, with an ultimate view
of building np a commercial center
that would draw traffic to their line.
Quite airt from these pecuniary
considerations, we deem it but our
duty to appeal to the Union Pacific
managers in behalf of the working
men so suddenly and unceremoni
ously thrown out of employment.
A majority of them have come to
Omaha to establish a permanent
home. They have invested their
jnxill earnings In this locality.
Andnowtheyfind themselves ina
most embarrassing position. With
out a definite prospect of re-employ
and many of them have not the
means to go elsewhere in seaich of
work. Even if the prospect for re
employment was good, they can
not remain idle very long without
aid from some quarter.

Editor Bee:
Thesurvey for the Government
Tostoffice and Custom House on the
south side of Market square, front
ing south, was completed Monday
morning, aud the excavation was
commenced Tuesday morning.
There were about two hundred perr
sons present when the ground was
broke. The building will be CoxSO
feet three-story high, and probably
will have a 'Mansard roof. The
building will be commenced as soon
as the excavation is finished, and
the 'Work will be pushed forward as
rapidly as possible.
Since work is begun the citizens
appear quite jubilant, and now feel
that their chances are better for re
taining the Capitol than ever before,
asjt. gives Lincoln more perman
ence on account of thelong expected
enterprise which Is now a fixtd fact.
Business is quite lively, and many
strangers .are'eoming in on the sev

A Gorgeous Affair.
.5pcial Correspondence of the Bke.
' &.- Washington, May 22.
Your correspondent regrets that a
chain of unfortunate circumstances
compels him to apologise for being
unable to give a succinct and de
tailed account of the most interest
ing.wedding.that ever took place
within- the walls of the White
House.
In the first place, the immaculate
dress suit, ordered from New York
for the occasion, failed to put in an
appearance in time; secondly, the
odor of the "President's veto,"
haunted everything fco tenaciously
about the White House, that it op
pressed our Western nostrils; aud
thirdly, Mr. Sartoris and your corres
pondent, differed upon the question
of the Geneva award, and standing
upon our dignityywe refused to com
promise American independence by
accepting any favor from "Johnny
Bull." On account of this series of
concatirations, the Bee was de
prived of its full share of sweeta that
usually follow its persevering and
indomitable energy.
However, it is only necessary to
say that without compromising it
self the "Bee" obtained all the in
formation desired concerning the
interesting event. The wedding
was intended to le strictly private,
and but very few Washingtonians
were invited. The larger portion of
guests were from other cities ; and
the members of Congress shared
with the rest in the way of prohibi
tion, with but a few isolated excep
tions. The entire newspaper fra
ternity were "tabooed," but never
theless, there were at least a half
dozen repoitors on hand, who hai
surreptitiously managed to get hold
of invitations and attended as in
vited guests, in full dress, white kid
gloves, ami luvunuer in-a. uu
ever heard of euchering the press,
and this attempt of the President
at seclusiveness, resulted in utter
failure. The White House was dec
orated most gorgcopsjy wth flow
ers, the windows at each end of the
east room containing flower pots to
the ceiling, the centre of the room
hanging frow tho ceiling was a
large and beautiful bell made en
tirely of flowers, and presented by
New York friends. Under the bell
was a raised dais, upon which the
ecrefnoi y was performed. A large
space opposite the" grand entrance
to the room was divided off by
stringing across the room white
satin ribbons, and thelnvlted guests
were restricted behind these barriers.
At 11 o'clock the bridal party
was ushered into the east room pre
ceded by the bridesmaids, who
stepped to each side, and the Presi
dent with his daughter on his arm
marched down the centre followed
by Mrs, Gjrant aiuj tb younger
children. Col. Fred Grant and Mr.
Sartoris then stepped upon the
raised dais, and the Bev. Mr.
Tiffany of the Metropolitan Method
ist Church, performed the marriage
ceremony,
Mrs. Grant looked upon the scene
with struggling emotions; and
clutched the hands of her youngsons
as a partial relief, to the feelings
that till a loving mothers heart
upon such occasions. The soon-to-be
bride, unmindful of the serious
importance, of the step she was tak
ing, was animated aud happy. The
rather with that impenentrable look
and expressionless face, bent his
eyes to the floor. Mr. Sartoris,
with the ease and abandon of au
Englsh snob, received the bride
from her fathers arm, with an air
of victory a sense of English
prowess.
Col. Fred Grant tried to look the
soldier, under the conscious of im
pending danger. Sartoris followed
the officiating divine in a clear, au
dible tongue, and betrayed no hes
itation, aud matlo but one mistake.
When the minister said. "Wilt thou
take this woman to be thy wedded
wife," Sartoris replied, "I do."
Using the wrong verb in this con
nection. Several young ladies, in
timate friends of Nellie, were moved
to tears, and the impressiveness of
the ceremony, with the attendant
surroundings, made the scene one
unusually affecting. There is no
question but that this separation
and exile as it wore from home, of
this cherishsd and lovely daughter,
is a serious blow, and crushing
event to both General and Mrs.
Grant. It is said that when Sartoris
first proposed tnis matter to General
Grant, he would consider it favora
bly only upon the condition that ho
(Sartoris) should become an Ameri
can citizen, and reside here in Amer
ica. This Sartoris agreed to and
purchased large landed interests in
the West, and made preparatory ar
rangements to mako America his
home, but the sudden decease of his
brother made it necessary for him
to withdraw this condition, as his
presence was absolutely required to
look after the vast estate which now
falls to him. Cupid, meanwhile,
had driven his darts deep into the
atlections or tue young gin, ana a
love stronger than parental affection
tore her from the arms of fond pa
rents. Sartoris is a representative
of the landed gentry, simply is not
a lord and the bride will not re
ceive the consideration from the
royal family, as Mrs. Sartoris, that
she did as the daughter of the Presi
dent of the. United States. The
groom is said to be a fine billiard
player, a good boxer, a mutton
chopped, side-whiskered English
man, and big cypher for his other
accomplishments or personal at
tractions. The presents were nu
merous and very!oatly, consisting
of silver tea sets, knives, forks, etc.,
dressing cases, laces,v shawls, and
numerousbther article, valued in
all upwards of $60,000. No such
wedding, or regal magnificence and
lavish" expenditure, has ever been
witnessed within the White House,
The President's gifts to the daugh
ter were $10,000 in cash; two full
sets of lace, imported from Brussels,
and purchased by the wife of the
American Minister in Brussels with
out regard to expense.
.The entire wardrobe of the bride
is elaborate, and multifarious chan
ges, such as has never been equalled
in this country. The Marine Band
consisting of forty pieces afforded
musieforthe occasion, and exotic
flowers,' la profusion, filled every
corner and niche' of the building
used ia the ceremony. About 350
gttcstu only .were present, and the
carriages to the number of 150, were
ranged in a semi-circle, fronting the
mansion. Atl o'clock, the Presi
dent's four-In-band was driven to
the entrauce, and the bride and
croom were whirled to the depot, to
take a special Palace car for New
"York. The youngjady friends of
the bride sent a shower of delicate
little satin and gold slippers after
the couple after they drove from
the door. This was a relic of the
old custom of "thiowingthe shoe"
after a new rrarried couple, and sig
nifying good luck. The guests then
departed, the mansion was closed,
and the plebian8, who haunted the
entrances, ordered away. Republi

FISH POINTS.
Salmon are plentiful in the Sac
ramento and San Joaquin rivers.
Salmon are advertised for sale at
twenty-five cents apiece in Sacra
mento. The waters of Coos Bay are full of
herring. The Indians spear floun
der at night, while the American
fishermen catch herring with nets
every morning.
One hundred and ninety-four in
land lakes of Michigan have been
stocked with white nh, which are
doing well. The average number
in each lake is about 7000.
It is passible that similar malfor
mations occur in equal proportions
in other fishes, but such of these as
come under the cognizance of the
student are so small as not to be ap
preciable. Malformations are, in
deed, quite common in the goldfish
and corp, particularly the former
and the Chiraces bearing distinctive
names, and characterized, among
other feature, by the possession of
an extra number of tails.
Dr. Knoch, of Moscow, has late
ly been studying the nature of mal
formations in the trout, salmon,
and whitefish, and finds the most
common monstrosities to consist in
the possession : first, of two heads ;
second, of a double vertebral col
lumn and eord ; third, of malforma
tions as regards divergence of the
body from its axis of length ; fourth, -
oi aeiecis oi xne organs oi locomo
tion; fifth, of anomalies in the
vegetative sphere ; sixth, of defects
in the organs of sense.
Fish culturists, especially, those
who have to deal with the various
species of the talmonida, are fre-
niiAnrlv srniMr with lhi nnmpmtra
- cases of malformation in the em-
bryos hatched out by them; those
sometimes -constituting a marked
per centage of the whole number,
resulting, it is supposed, from too
great rapidity ,of development, or
some other at present unknown
agency. Jnsomejnstanoes, the per
centage Is so large, as materially to
affect the number of salable fish
producedj-as they sooner or later
succumb in the struggle for exis-
'tence.
Years have passed since 20,000
