Berthold , the junk dealer on Douglas street , is afraid that our article of Friday may bo construed as referring to his sstiblishment. While we think that no one who knows Mr. Berthold would ever EUS- pect anything of the kind , wo take pleasure in stating th t the article on the treasure found by the police had no reference whatsoever to him. Mr. John 0. Bonncll , who has had charge of the land department of the B. & M. in this city for sometime pist , has been transferred io Lincoln He is succeeded by Mr. R. R. Ran dall , who takes his place in Omaha as agent of the department. Mr. Ran dall has been in the employ of the road since 1871 , and is thoroughly familiar with Nebraska and alert for its interests.

Ho intends , in a few days to drive a ten- mile rsco for a purse of $300 , gotten up by the citizens of Omaha. Mr. Young says he has made 13 miles in 40 minutes with his mare drawing 470 pounds , and it did not seem to hurt her in the least. Uolon Catholic Library Association. The first regular meeting of the Union Catholic Library was hold Sun day afternoon , at their new rooms in Crelghton block. In the absence of the president , John A. Creighton , csq. , the first vice president , Mr.- Gibbon , occupied the chair , and appointed the following committees for the coming year : Library committee John Rush , chairman ; Thomas J. Fitzmorris , Ed ward A. O'Brien. Committee on lectures and enter tainments W. M. Bushman , Charles Hanley- . A. L. Gibbon. Finance committee John A , Me- Shane , Mrs. Ben. Gallagher , J. H. Whalen. Efforts will be made immediately to paper the room , provide shelving and tables for the library and reading- room and put the apartments in first- class order. A committee was also appointed to solicit donations of books for the organization , and it is hoped that their efiorls will bo crown ed with great success. The lecture committee are now in correspondence with Bon. Butler , and are endeavor ing to procure him to deliver a lec ture in Omaha after his return from the coast. After the transaction of the business before the meetiiur , it adjourned until Friday , at 8 o'clock p. m. An Important Decision.

Omaha's Firemen Martyrs Not Forgotten , Hon. J. L. Webster's Eloquent Address A Sweet and Tuneful Tribute From Miss Stacia L. Crowlsy. A drenching rain which sot in at an arly hour Saturday morning , and which has continued without abite- msut ever since , was tbo first sight which met the eyes of the members of he Grand Army of the Republic into vhose hands had been committed the ious duty of adorning the graves of ho hero martyrs of the nation. It was hoped that a cessation of the rain would permit the carrying out of the ilaborate programme which had been arefully prcpjred , but nine and ten 'clock pissed and the shower still continued , so the committee were sorapellcd with great reluctance to give up all thoughts of a publ'c ' cele- > ratton and turn their attention to omo less ostentatious manner of car- ying out the sacred duly which had > eeu entrusted to there charge. All. the dttiils of the procession aid of the public oxorcises'at the cem- tery had necessarily to be thrown aside. There was at first some discuE- ion as t-j I ho advisability of postpon- ng the ceremonies until Sunday b Jt it was decided that such postpone- iient would bo impracticable for many easons , not the least of which would 10 the difficulty of gathering the mem- icrs of the different organizations to- ether , a largo number of whom vould bo conscientiously opposed to mblic display on the Sabbath. The lowers , tao , most of which hid been : ut and rrepared en Saturday would urdly retain their beauty and fresh ness , and in addition , it was proper hat whatever the weather , the day ibservcd all over the country , should > e likewise observed in some manner n Omaha. A meeting of the members of Geo. A. Ouster post No. 7 , G. A. R. , was , ccordinjly ; held at ChrksHall _ and it was determined to send out a detail of the post together with representa tives firm the fire department , and to commit to their hands the duty of decorating their dead comrades last resting places. Post Gomminder Joshua Budd named the fcllowiug members of Geo. Ouster post No. 7 to proceed to the cemeteries and decorate the graves of their comrades : M. R. Risdon , S. A. Huntoon , J. H. Manchester , E. Wyman , J. Budd , W. H. Scott , W. H. Ijams and Geo. O'Brein , together with Richard McDonald and Frank Garratty. A request was also ( Out to the tire department to send a delega tion to co-operato with that of thatG. A. R. Arraugemonts were made to furnish carriage ] for the details who started at half past one o'clock from Clark's Hall. It was further decided that the G. A. R. proceed in a body to the First M. E. church on Sunday morn4 ing to listen to a commemorative dis course by the Rev. J. Maxwell , the post assembling at its room at 9:30 , and marching together at 10 o'clock , sharp. In regard to the oration , which the Hon. J. L. Webster wns to have delivered , a formal request was made that he furnish it for publication in the daily papers of the city. Below wo append the oration in full. It is to be regretted that the opportunity for its delivery was not afforded Mr. Webster , as it is well worthy his powers as an orator. When John was an exile in the rocky island of Patmos , he saw a door opened in heaven and heard a voice "as it wore of a trumpet talking with" him which said "come up higher and I will show the things which must be hereafter. " Ho saw in the right hand of him who rat on the throne a book' and when the laaib opened one of the seals thereof , he heard a voice "as it were the noise of thunder * * say ing come and see. " He looked ami beheld a "white horse and ho that sat on him had a bow , and a crown was given unto him ; and he wont forth conquering and to conquer. " How like a vision of the times we celebrate. The poem has not been written , the song has not been ung , the oration has not been pronounced' that to fitly , and with so much of sim plicity , truth and eloquence , describas the character of the individual soldiers of our army who went forth conquer ing and to conquer the rebel hosts. They did not wear a crown of power but they won a crown of honor on ev ery battle field andthoy wear it now as they toil in the .workshop , as they la bor on the farm or walk in the buiy avenues of trade. Those who now sleep in yonder cemetery are riding white horses about him who sat ou hat throne and are wearing a crown if glory. The war was a school and the army vas its pupils. The toldier who Mimbcd the mountains of Virginia and marched across the southern tates with Sherman to the sea , learn- d something of our country's extent nd her people. Ho who was at the eige of VL-ksburg heard the incroas- OK roar of cannon and felt the im- ulso of active war. Ho who was ? t bilbh BUT the deadly conflict of men , he field of corpses ana" became farail- ar mln'death. He who was at Fort illow knows what Jt is to change a battle to a massacre. He who was at Andersonville and Libby knows what it is to suffer the slow tortures of de pression and starvation. Hetvho fought up the side of Lookout mountain and TV " " " * tolling above the clouds has a grander notion of the sublimity of nature than the tourist oftho mountain peaks. These men who looked at the vast armies at rest by the camp fire beneath the evening stars , or mnv ; in i i ? _ _ f * moving long lines of march across the plains with their armor glit tering under the sun-beams , felt a greater touch of poetic-sublimity than Byron when gazing upon the Appe- of nines of Italy. Those who listened to fhe poromancU of great Generals and taw the frightful beauties of a field of carnage know some thing of what it is to live , and to have a coun try to love. Such scenes enlarge and liberalize the understanding and comprehension of men. Great occasions are the greatest teachers. Napoleon felt this , when leading his army beside the exclaimed ' ' centuries pyramidshe | , 'forty look down upon you. " Behind all this war there was an idea Hugo has written "Waterloo is not a battle ; it is the change of front of the Universe. " History will record that our conflict was not a rebellion ; it was the punishment of an original sin , the bursting into bloom of the richest flower of thought , universal lioerty. Men who have experienced such scenes and been impressed with such thoughts deserve the nation's honor. Their strong arm should ba felt in the councils of the government and their voice should bo heard in the contests of statesmanship. Butacr has made immortal to the literary world the memory of that un known guardsman who stood on duty at the gate of Pompeii while the city was swept to distruction. Where he stood at his post of duty ho could see the crater of Vesuvius belching forth her fl.mes of fire and the floods of molten lava rushing down the moun tain side and pouring toward the city. As ho would look upward ho could see the sky clouded by the mass of ashes that the wind carried across the heavens nnd cast all about him. He saw the people frenzei and feel ing through the gto beside him for satety yet he moved not. Ho saw the cHy in flatrci and being buried in ashes and lava that came from that terrible volcano , yet he stirred not from duty. No persuasive voice could induce him to flee. He was com manded to guard the gate and he re mained at that post of duty until he waa buried alive in tbo oUiueuta that came from inside the bowels of the earth and thus passed away with the city that he guarded. When archaeologists du uptheruins of that city they found the petrified remains of this faithful soldis stand ing erect at the great gate , clothed in hii armrr. What an osamp'c of obe dience and fidelity wcs there. The civi'ized tongues in many languages applaud the deed ; yet such a hero bea s no comparison to the grand army of volunteers wh forsook all of life , to accept all of death , to save their coun try.The The conduct of that guardsman at Pompeii was but the obedience of a subject to the imperial dictates of Roman power , whila the conduct of the fediral soldier was not that cf a subject , but of a sovereign : not of obcdionca to power , but of fidelity to country ; not an acceptance of a com mand , but an embracing of all there is in political thought patriotism. Roman power has produced but one such hero while American freedom pcrnls to her hundreds of thousand ? . The Grand Army of the Republic is made up of men who are entitled to weir garlands upon their heads and the dead to be encased in golden cof fins. fins.Nearest Nearest akin to these are our n > ble and during firemen , some of whose comrades-eleap in that silent city from an effort to save to Omaha her cniof- est structure. The hi roof Pompeii wai a coward compared to these men. The fair hands of Omaha will not for get their sepulchres. To each individual grave of our fallen heroes we bring the choicest gifts of nature , these beautiful boquets and wreaths of flowers As we Editor them let us eay with Byron , "Light bo thy toil of thy tomb Kay Its vcnduro like emerald * be : 1 here sbouM not be a ghsilow of gloom In aught that REMI.NDS csof tbe. The real worth of these men can not be felt uutil we look at the other side of the picture. Had it not been for them , what of our country ! South Carol.na would bo floating another banner. This siatersof' the Missouri , yonder would be wending their way to another nationality. New Orleans would not bb our Southern" Metro polis btlt the Cubital of an empire. American vessels of trade would not bo floating in the harbors of the Gulf of Mex-cobut that grand water would be the shelter of an enemy's flotilla. Quean Victoria would be entertaining a minuter from the cotton fields of thoEOUth. The eleven states , which civilization arres'ed from an un cultivated waste would bo marching backward to the tread of four million of slaves. That liberty which was born in the revolution and had budded in tliirty.four states until it had be come the gem and wonder of the world would have decayed in its weakness. Wo would have chanted a requiem to our country's departed clory at the foot of Bunker Hill. The finger of scorn would be pointed at us from the land ofLafajetto. Hands would be ready to tear down the unfinished monument of the name to Washing ton. ton.Our Our stalwart army foresaw all thii- . It shotted its cannon to the mouth and scattered iti canister to the gulf. By its patriotism it rallied lib erty oil through the regions of the rebel states and went to replant the stars and stripes beside the lillios and violets of the south. Some time ago a correspondent gave a description of Niagara Falls as scon under electric light. As ho looked over the edge of the chasm a single electric light was playing on the edge of the fall , con verting it into a mass of moving snow , whose dazzling whiteness rolled on with awful and majestic grandeur. The mist that arose irom the whirl pools below looked weird and glustly , and assumed most fantastic shape ? . As he stood enraptured , a lessening of the brilliancy of the li ht changed the aspect of the scene. The water now seemed liquid glass and moved as mechanically and looked as unreal as any painted cataract on the mimic stage. Suddenly the ma nipulator of the lighten the cliff slides a sliest o'f rose colored glws be fore his lamp. The scene became en sanguined , and now it is a cataract of blood , that roars and hisses and seoths es though it were the gore of mur dered nations , crying to-day demand ing the vengeance of heaven. The light is arranged to take in the brink and upper part of the falls and then one shaded blue converts the foaminto boiling and uncanny shapes. The next instant a flood of white is projected between the rod and the blue and the great waterfall becomes the grandest representation of that banner of bravery , the American flag , ever seen by mortal eye. As the gazer looks upon that ecstatic scone , his heart is filled with rapturous joy , and he almost imagines himself m some fairy land , at the mercy of some genii of-delusion who captivate and enrap ture at will. Thus America's grandest piece of natural scenery , colored by the art of man , becomes the grandest represen tation of American liberty that mind can fancy. The vast assamblaga filled with patriotic fervor &t the beauty and sublimity of the scene , rcut the air with their applause ; yet it wa * a nothing , compared to that higher pa triotic fervor which thrilled the hearts of these noble dead and of the mem ber * of the Grand Army of the Repub lie living es they looked upon that bincer on the day of battle and marched underneath itssweoping folds J. from .victory to victory. All honor to the Grand Army cf the Republic who keep alive the memory those unspeakable feelings. It seems as now their departed comrades waying our flag from the battle ; mentaof heaven. Go ! Scatter theio flowers over their graves , that as they look down they may smile upon us , and make the temple of onr country's God ring with huzzahs of onr country's glory. THE BEE takes great pleasure in pub lishing the following exquisite poem , from the pen of one of Omaha's most talented ladies , Mss Crowley. 1880. BT STACIA CBOWLET. I. It is summer's young dawn , and our moth er , the earth , Draws her green mantle over her breast ; And cradled beneath it forever asleep , Lie the dead of our nation forever at rest. Asleep and at peace , rank by rank , file by file , No matter what color they wore. They listen not now for the tap of the drum , They shall wake at reveille no more. II. Their captain may call them to battle in vain , The great Captain has bidden them cease. No flags , save the grasses , wave over their heads , Mother Nature's green banners of peace. The birds whistle round , but the bugles are still ; Lifeand _ strife and their echoes have fled > And the lone partridge drums from the far away wood , The evening tattoo for the deid. in. Though their names are forgotten , they are not forgot ; Where they sleep shall be called hallow ed ground. Grateful hearts shall bear record , when stones fall to dnst , That a soldier lies under each mound. The battles he lost , and the battles he won ; Aye , the cause that his heart held so dear May perchance be forgot , but this much shall remain Uuforgotten , a soldier lies here IT. "A soldier lies here , " let us ask for no more , But scatter our flowers o'er his grave. The cause that he fought for ? What matters - tors it , now We know it was life that he gave. For the wrong has its heroes as well as the right , And the false as well as the true ; Let them sleep 'neath onr flowers , who fell in our fight Wearing either the Gray or the Blue. v. Both have proven their faith by the blood of their hearts , And alike let their recompense be. They who die for a wrong that they think is a right , It was right that they died for , say we. They are earnest , indeed , who for causa or for creed Fight their fellows to death , if they most ; It is truth that they "err for , and life that they give , We are human , but let us be just. Vt. And while we are honoring heroes who fel In the stress and the heat of the fray ; Let them not be forgotten who fought ant who live , And are walking among ns to-day. To risk life is to give it. The dead did no merCi Ite who risks must be willing td give. Strew yoilr flowers o'er the dead , bii while yet thev remain Weave one wreath for our heroes who live. PEKSONAlj PARAGRAPHS.

An Intervie-w "With Father English on the Subject. Noticing an article In the Chicago Times of the 2Gth Inst. , in reference to the delay in appointing a successor to the late Bishop Foley , which inti mated that Bithop O'Connor was gen erally considered the coming man for the p'ase , a reporter of THE BEE this morning paid a visit to the bishop's rcsidenco and rent up his card to Father English with a request for an interview. "Have you read this extract from the Chicago Times of a few days since , " asked the reporter , handing Father English the following clipping : It is generally understood that the new archbishop will be selected from among the prelates whose sees will be suffragan to the Chicago metropolitan. If the law of seniority be followed , choice will probably be Rt. Rev. James O'Connor , D. D. , now bishop of Omaha. Dr. O'Connor is preemi nently fit , by personal character , learn ing , and executive ability , for the large dignity which may await him , and his appointment would be univer sally welcomed by the clergy and pee ple."I "I hive watched , of course , with some interest , " said Father English , "the various rumors in circulation concerning the Chicago bishopric , but really none have a solid foundation. That is , Rome has not yet announced her decision , and until that decision is announced every report must bo ru mor , and nothing else. " "How has the matter long been an- adviecinont ] " a ked the reporter. "The province , consisting of the wcitern bishops , met in St. Louis a year ego the Wednesday after Easter. Their duty was to select three nomi nees and forward them them to the HolyFa'lur for presentation to the consistory at Rome. The three nom inees were Bishop Fehan , of Mem * phis ; Bishop Spauding ! , of Peoria , and Bishop O'Connor , of Omaha , in the order named. The selection ia generally made at Rome from the name heading the list , which in this case , was Bishop Fehan , of Memphis. F oreome time the list , after being for warded to Rome , was kept secret , but the nominee finally leaked out , and the priests at Chicago were very indignant that the selection had been made out of their diccese. Strong opposition manifested itself to Bishop * Fehan only on account of his not being in the diocese and being the selected candidate. Rome , is very slow in all such matter. " , and she has probably been weighing the names very care fully. The Chicago clergy have lately manifested a strong desire for Bishop O'Connor's ' selection , a desire which is daily growing stronger. Of course , public sentiment is tiken iitto Con sideration at Rome and tha bishop's friends have good hopes for h'"s ad vancement" "How is the appointment made and hoiV made known ] " "The porB takes the matter before the consistory , which is composed ol the cirdinals- and the decision , is there mad" : The appointment , which is expected to bo madU known every day , will immediately bo given to the representative of The Freeman's Jour nal in Rome , and thence transmitted to J. W. McMastcrs , its editor in Nelv York , who will give it to the As sociated preis1 ' "Why is it that the interest ia ao great over the Chicago bishopric ? " "Well , more hinges on the Chicago bishopric than is generally supposed. In the first place , the bishopric ia nfa'ff under the archbishopric of St. Louis. Within a year Chicago will have an archbishop of its own. At a time not long distant a Western cardinal is an ticipated with bis residence at Chica go. Both of * tbcso exalted rjdsitioiis are expected to turn on the appoint ment of the next bishop. " "In other wcfds if Bishtip O'Connor of Omaha , becomes Bishop O'Conner of Chicago , ho will , in all likelihood , ultimately become Cardinal O'Con nor ? " insinuated ohe reporter. "Well yott can draw your inferen ces , the bishops learning and ihtereal in emigration have made htm very ex ; , tensively known and respected , and the Chicago priests are now heartily in favor1 of his appointment. Should this talco place another bishop Would bo appointed for Nebraska during the current year in all probability.

To New York and Phi'adelphia , bfgintiing with to day , the rate per message of ten words will be 75 cents instead of $1 , as origi nally charged. To Cincinnati , Toledo , and Defiance , Ohio , 60 cents , and to a1 ! points with < n 150 miles of Omaha 25 cents. A reporter of THE BEE starting out on a ( our of investigation yesterday was informed that the telegraph war had now begun and would result in a bitter fight between the Western Union and tl.e American Union com panies. The probability is that no cut will be made in rates by the West ern Union itself , but the Atlantic and Pacific , which is under the control of that company , will enter the contort and fight the battle with the Ameri can Union , reducing its tariff as fast aa changes are announced by its com petitor. The Atlantic and Pacific has a great advantage over the American Union , owing to the fact that it can ca'l ' upon the immense resources of the Western Union in carrying on its business , and can thus guarantee an unerring delivery of messages under any condition of atmoEphrro. In ad dition its offices are much more num erous thin the American Union at present , though the Infant toleraph cimpany is adding to their list daily. From all indica'iuns ' the fijht will bo both long and bitter , and thn people ple will reap the benefit during its continuance. SPECIAL NOTICES.
