A new mall route has been es tablished from INo-hat via Rec Cloud to Forest City , Missouri , will trips six times a week. This enable ! Omaha papers , mailed in time , tc connect by the Kansas City , St Joe & Council Bluffs railway in the morning with all points on the At- chhon & Nebraska railway the same day , giving the Omaha dailies an equal chanoo with the St Joe and Kansas City papers. This improved arrangement was effected through the efforts of Mr. Vandervoort , chief clerk of the railway mail ser vice at this point The Sunday afternoon concerts atThiele's hall are quite well at tended , as they certainly deserve to be. The City Band , composed of the beat musicians in the city , iu- v ri bly i > lay their choicest selec tions , and almost always execute Bomo new and difficult music , spe cially rehearsed for the occasion. TJie concert Sunday afternoon was rendered doubly attractive by the fine singing of Emellne Atlanti , formerly of the Strakosoh opera troupe , and who is temporarily stop ping in the city. She is on her way to California , to fill an engagement there. Amelia Colby , the spiritualist lecturer , held forth Sunday evening t * eyerlsHaUwhichwas so crowd ed that ZTiany of 10 audience were obliged to sta up. The lady was certainly very eloquent , if the crit icism of a gentleman whs " as pres ent , is any criterion. He said il' t Mrs. Van Cott "was nowhere" as compared to her in eloquence , and as to her-ability , "she was chain lightning itself. " So well pleased were her hearers , that they took up a liberal collection for her , and en gaged her to deliver four lectures this city , for which they The blacksmith shop at the j northeast corner of Harncy and j Fourteenth streets , caught fire in the roof Saturday afternoon , but the fire was extinguished without the necessity of an alarm being struck. Saturday afternoon we noticed a valuable invention on exhibition at the hay-market on Fourteenth street. It was one of Carpenter & Snell's improved patent-hinged hay racks. It can be used also as an oruinary wagon box by unhinging the projecting sides , or as a hog pen by raising them .to a perpendicular position. It is very light , not weighing as much as the common wagon box. It is certainly a useful invention. A party of Council Bluffs bum mers visited a Streetville den , near that place last Friday evening , and got into a row with some Streetville roughs. A Council Blufflte slapped the mug of a Streetvillain , and then the shooting began. One shot per forated the shoulder of one of tue Bluffites , all of whom were pretty severely bounced. This informa tion was not obtained from the Council Bluffs papers , who suppress- the accounts of the skirmish. The facilities ot the BEE job de partment have been increased by the addition of a large amount o ! new and exceedingly beautiful type and an extensive assortment of cuts , preparatory to the spring trade. Our business men are requested tc call and see the superintendent , Mr , C. F. Brewster , who will give then : any information desired , and bottom tom prices for first-class work. Mr Brewster is from Chicago , and has i well-earned reputation of being on < of the beat job printers that was eve : in tliat city. His work since he ha been connected with the BEE estab lishment speaks for Itself.

That to be His Lottery Head * quarters. ( Laramie Independent. ) Last fall , early in the season , our city was visited by Mr. J. M. Pat- tee , ( formerly of Omaha ) , while he was en route to Montana to examine some mines. Ascertaining that by the la\vs of this territory lotteries were authorized institutions Mr. Pattee then made up his mind to return to Laramie at an early day and open business on a bigscale.8oou atterwards he was taken sick in .New York and by the advice of his physicians made a visit to Europe. He has now recovered and will soon have his lottery scheme fairly bt- fore the people of the world. To as sist him in the preliminary work he has engaged the services of Mr. H. L. Lowman , of BirminghamConn. , a gentleman of large means , who is nterested in the well known Shovel Company at bis place. This gentle man arrived in this city last evening - ning and has rented the rooms over the store of A. GL Swain for offices. After the business is fairly started , Mr. Lowman , who is an ex perienced miner , will examine the mines in this vicinity , and do some prospecting. This is really what induced him. to come to this country and wo believe that he has the means and experience to aid in de veloping valuable ledges that havt been and will be found in this sec tion. tion.In ten days or less Mr Pattee wil arrive here from New York , when he has been advertising his lotterj and establishing an agency. He i now doing thesame atCMcago. Deservedly Caned. On Saturday evening last , at thi Police Court room , the members o the police force presented Mayo Chase with a handsome gold-head ed cane , purchased of Max Meyc & Brother.

" letter from Florence. FLOBENCE , March 1. EDITOR BEE : The people of this place hav voted to enlarge their school hous by building a brick basement an fitting it up fur a school room , wit ! the intention of having the schoc graded the coming winter. Ihe ladies speak of having a fes tival or a social after the Improve meats are made , to raise a fund t procure a bell. The building wil then compare favorably with an ; school house in a place the size o Florence. This shows a commendable spiri of enterprise on the part of our cit i/.ens , and will add much to the con venience and advancement of th < pupils , and also do much to build U ] the place by making it a desirable locality for those seeking homes.

EDITOR OUAUA BEE : Will you be so kind as to publish the following explanation , relating to the late awarding of the prize to the "Folkets Tiduing" at the "Lyr- an" masquerade , .by the committee of arrangements. The prize that was awarded to me by the making of a dress from the headings of the 1 Volkets Tidning" has created some unjust criticism as reflecting upon hat influential Scandinavian paper. [ wish fo state that the proprietor andeditoi of the "Folkets Tidniog" was in no manner , way or form concerned in it , had nothing to do with it , either by intimation or ad vice , but was unknown to nim ; it was originated , executed and worn iy myself. When I learned of the feeling ex- sting from my carrying off the > rlze , I took steps to correct it , to teep harmony , not only in justice o myself , but In justice to the pro prietor and to the editor of the JFolk- cfs Tidning , Messrs Larson& Cohrey. I desire no censure or blame to be attached to either the judges or the paper , and to correct any misunder standing in the matter have re turned the prize , to allay all feeling on tU part of thft committee of ar rangements , thus finally disposing of the matter and silencing all un necessary comment in the future.

THE MORALS OFTHE CAN CAN " A "Old Morality" Goei for T. B. M , ( Communicated. ) T. B. M. ( Tilton-Beecher-Moul- ton ? ) in Sunday's Herald expre - ses high- indignation against the proposed onslaught to be made on the high morals of our good city to night. In commendable self-knowl edge , he fears , that the ' 'prurience of diseased imaginations will be gratified by witnessing the Can-can , that all that is good , and pure and chaste in our Omaha youth , will be obliterated and wiped out by the im proper array of tricots and low- necked dresses. " He asks , that , while it may be impossible to sup press the proposed peformance , the public may show its indignation at the intended affront , by leaving the seats of the Academy unoccupied , and thus save us from the awful doom of sinking into a bottomless pool of iniquity and sin. I pity T. B. M. He Is evidently a nice young man , that never stole apples from his neighbor's orchard in ht boyhood * and never missed a lesson in his Sunday school ; a young man that would think it an immor tal sin to smoke on the Sabbath 01 drink anything but water on a wee ! day. He belongs to that numeroui class of people who will do anythinj to keep up the appearance of stric propriety , and would not for thi world be charged with anything in decent or immoral. But does not his desire to let "thi shameless creatures of tLo LaBerj dancing troupe dance to jyi empt ; house , " come just a little bit toi late , after the combined press o the country , all the leading joui nals , the Omaha Herald included have prepared the public mind for ; show of this sort , and have awai ened a taste for exhibitions of lewd character ? He should not tr , to prevent the gratifying of ths taste Nor does he deny that fc the past eight or ten month the newspapers have done s in the publication of the revoltinj disgusting , shameless , Beecher-Ti ton affair. .What is worse to pollul the public mind by the most minul description of the particulars of th Brooklyn scandal case , to corruj the youthful ideas of young me and women , boys and girls , by th literature of adultery , as publkhe day after day in the papers , or t put on exhibition a pe ; formance which includes som dances of a doubtful n : ture ? The 'newspapers reaches th wife , maybe the innocent sister c perhaps daughter of T. B. M. , th performance Is in the worst case ai tended by young and old men , t whom temptation there certain ! does not come in its worst shapi Ah , Mr. T. B.M. , your initials seer to surely .indicate that you belon ' * to that class of society which to-da with all the proof of the JBrookly preacher's guilt , declare him ir nocent , but will insist th : all and everything is indecent , in proper and censurable counecte with a public show. If your sens of the jure was so vivid , if you ha such a keen perception ot the clar ger In which the morals of you community might be placed , wh did you not protest against the it trqtluctton of that cursed tale of minister's shame and guilt into th columns of your family newspaper The performance of the can-can yo and your family need not attend the rpacing of the newspaper yo cannot prevent. Which is th worst in its bad results ? You say the prurience of disease minds will be gratified. You the : take It for granted that the mind of those attending the performanc are corrupted.

( Correspondence the of BEE ) LINCOLN , Feb. 27. EDIIOR BEE : "ALL ABOARD. " The special train placed at the disposal of the State Editorial Asso- cia ion for an excursion to Brown ville , left the Midland Pacific depot" o'clock Thursday at half-past one afternoon Tne train was composed of two coaches , and guessing that the rear car was for ladies and ladies' men , your correspondent stepped into the smoking car , and off we went. The profession was well re presented in the smoking depart ment. There are two reasons why editors and correspondents are not , as a general rule , accompanied by ladies upon such occasions. First , they cannot afford theluxurv ; and , second , the ladies cannot aflord to go with them. WHO WENT. The following is a list ot the names aboard : Ex-Go vernorFurnas , Brown villc ; Col. O.

In the smoking car , Caffrey and Calhoun were having a loud talk over the Butler expunging resolu tion , while several of the boys were shuffling and throwing on a board by turns , little pieces of cards covered - ered with spots and pictures of va rious ligures ana colors. Passing into the dominion of ribbons and lace , I found the party very lively. The first sound that greeted my eai was "I made 'SANCO , PEDRO , GAME ! ' " Looking in the direction from whence the words came I saw Hull and two other ladies playing with cards'that resembled very much tuoso I had seen in the smoking car ; in fact , I firmly believe , though dare not assert , that the cards and game were one and the same. Col , Wilson and lady , General McBride and lady , Mr. Howard , Mr. Evans and ladies , with many others , were engaged in the. same game I watched their " " mysterious "plays , as they called them , but could pot tell what they were playing , so 1 called it THE GAME I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. The train reached Nebraska City about four o'clock. Here we were met by Dr. Blake , city treasurer of Brownville , who passed through the train and gave to each excursionist a ticket that insured goodgrubgorfd treatment and lodging. The ride down was quite interesting because of the change of scenery ; but the train moved very slow. Just as the lights began to flicker from the windows dews among the hills , the weary pleasure-seekers stepped from the pars , and were enthusiastically wel comed by the band and citizens of BROWNVILLE. Carriages were in waiting at the platform , and the party soon found themselves seated around the pleas ant hearth-stones of the hospitable citizens of Brownville. Your"cor respondent was entertained by Mr. W.H. Small. Right here he would tender his thanks to this gentleman and his kind lady. BIGHT BOYAL treatment received by him at their hands. I canuot speak too highly of the generous people of Browville. WELCOME , * * At half-past nine o'clock I went to McLaughlin's Hall , and arrived just in time to hear Mr. Rogers de liver the welcoming address on be half of the mayor and common council of the city of Brownville. Mr. Peak and Mr. Webster Eaton responded in neat and appropriate language. But hey did not assem ble to listen io long-winded speeches andjcries of "ON WITH THE DANCE'I arose from every side. The musi cians mounted the stand they had excellent music by the way and the evening's ball was inaugurated by a grand march , Gov. Furnasand Mrs. Woodhurst taking the lead. The elite of Brownville were out en masse. And it is worthy of remark hat for good-looking , lively , enter prising boys and cirjs. Brown ville is ahead of ( he average town. Among the prominent citizens ot ihe city present were Hon. H. Lett , Mayor Tisdel , Dr. Blake , and a host f others , all of whom took great nterest in making the pafty an .greeable'oue. THE "ADVERTISER. " During the evening I called on he Advertiser folks. This is one of ho substantial papers of the state , nd very comfortably ntuated } I mean by that , on a" sound financial basis. Here it was that Governor Furnas commenced his career in Nebraska. The seeds and cuttings for his splendid nursery were ob tained from eastern horticulturists in return for advertising. Surely that advertising proved profitable. SCHOOLS. The excellent school building im mediately attracts the attention of the stranger. It certainly speaks well for the city. I was told that the ( schools were in a very prosper roua condition. puring the even ing I met one of the teachers , Mrs , E. E. Ebrightand from her received the above information. The lady's conversation and evident ability as a teacher would alone confirm her statements , but from what many told me a very flattering notice of the Brownville sdhoojs would not be over-drawn. But to return to the ball-room. Things went exceedingly merry. There was only one serious draw- back. Thp hall was vmeomfortably warm ; so warm indeed that consumptive - ' sumptive persons like yourcorres- "Spark. " and others , were compelled to go out occasion ally , or even senai-occasionally , and get a snifl of FRESH AIR. The dance was continued until the "wee sma' hours , " and with two hours rest we were routed out , provided with an excellent break fast , and with the band discoursing grand old music , the train moved out. THE NORMAL SCHOOL. At Peru the train stopped an hour , that the party might visit the JSor- mal School located there. Sleighs were in waiting , and the school was soon reached. The building is not very large , but well constructed. The recitation rooms were visited , the literary halls inspected , bring ing up at last In the chapel. Here Dr. Edwards soon collected the stu dents , some-200 in number , and the "A" class vrant through with their gymnastic exercises It was cer tainly the most interesting and per fect performance I ever saw. I was highly pleabt-d at the apparent pros perity of the school. Nebraska City was reached at 2 o'clock. I had my clothes all nice ly packed in a COLLAR BOX , fully intending to take them along , but had forgotten them. Now I was glad. We walked up to the Barnuin House , paid seventy-five centa for dinner , fifteen cents for cigars and wad "broke. " Tooth picks could have been bought , I pre sume , for a uickle. Mr. Brown , of the Press , and Mr. McCullum , of the Chronicle , gave us every attention possible , and re gretted that no preparations had been made. It seems that we were not expected until 5 o'clock. HOME AGAIN . The tram reached Lincoln at 6 o'clock , all being very highly pleased with the trip. GABE. PROPOSALS FOR SEED.
