THE old memories of tha ill-fated
expedition which under the iead > of
Sir John Franklin was lost in-trying
to explore the North west passage thir
ty-throe years ago , are revived by the
return of Lieutenint Schwatka from
th i Arctic regions bearing with him the
remains of one of the oflkcra of the
"Terror , " and many relics of the
commander and crow. Franklin's ex
pedition set sail from Liverpool in the
ycsr 1845 , in command of the "Ere
bus" and' Terror. " Five yearn passed
without any tidings of the gallant
commander and his crews , and expedi
tion after expedition was sent out in
coirch of the missing explorers.
America contributed three of
these , the two Grinnell expe
ditions under De Havens and
Captain Kane and the Schwatka ex
pedition which left New York in June ,
1878 , and was fitted out by & whaling
li-tn of that city.
All prior oxjjditioai hid simply
settled the fact that Sir John died in
1847 and that no mambor of his party
had -jmrrived. Lieutenant Schwatka ,
hse ascertained that one of Franklin's
ships actually m de the northwa t pas
sage , drifting through Victoria straits
where it was scuttled by the Esqui
mau * in tne spring of 1840. A num
ber of the bodies of the unfortunate
m.n were found and buried by Lieut ,
dshwatka and the remains of Lieut.
Irving , oHhe "Terror , " were brought
away for interment in his own coun
try. All hopes of ever recovering any
of the records of the expedition is
dissipated by Lieut. Schwatka' * report
that they -ware destroyed br the Es

LESSON OP THE FAIB.
THE most successful state fair ever
held iu Nebraska has drawn to a close.
Omaha has every reason to be proud
of the manner in which her citizens
have fulfilled their part in the exhibi
tion. The state at large is equally to
be congratulated over the fine showing
which Nebraska has made of her agri
cultural , horticultural and stock inter
ests. The attendance hae been very
gratifying ; the weather , taken as a
whole , has been good ; the racing has
been the best seen in the state. Both
exhibitors and visitors feel satisfied ,
and the management hare reaped a
substantial pecuni&ry success as the
result of their untiring labors.
When the fair was first transferred
to our city many of our merchants
doubted the practicability of making
it a SUCCOES financially. Others were
inclined to question the advantages
which would accrue to themselves es
exhibitors. Both of these classes
have been most agreeably disappoint
ed. The merchants , manufacturers
and mechanics of Omaha cr.me nobly
to the front and filled every portion of
space allotted them to overflowing.
Every class was admirably represent
ed. Omaba'a exhibit alone would
hive made a fine showing.
The state outside of Omaha was in no
way behind the city. Both com
bined made such a flattering showing ,
that crowds of Nebraskans were
drawn to the ground ? , and the finan
cial success of the state fair was as
sured before the week Avas half com
pleted.
'Those who questioned the personal
advantage of exhibiting their goods
were soon undeceived. Fully fifty
thousand visitors crowded the grounds
and buildings during the progress of
the fair. The value of the advertis
ing thus given to their goods and
wares cannot be estimated. Thous
ands of those who were present at the
fair as visitors will in the near future
bo purchasers of the exhibits , which
they saw for the first time. The return
|
turn to exhibitors in dollars and cents
will doubtless be a hundred fold , and
Omaha merchants will have no reason
to reget their wisdom in contributing
in money and exhibits to its success.
The lesson of the fair is already
learned by many of our moat promi
nent business men. Omaha must have
a permanent exhibition. Such an ex
hibition the fair just concluded has
shown Omaha is amply able to sup
port. There will be no lack of nrnna
to carry it out , of exhibitors to fill all
the floor epace , of visitors
to make it a financial success.
Our ranidly growing city demands
auehabamrs'n which to display her
wonderful industrial and commercial
advancement. Our merchants need
this annual opportunity display
their wares in friendly competition. A
permanent exhibition of the resources
of the metropolis of Nebraska would
be worth millions of dollars to the
elate in the advertisement which it
would give -to strangers of the posei-
"bilities in store for -\inekj "oy3S:55ptv
lal. Let us by all means have a per
manent exhibition.
MR. RICHARD GKANT WUITE is ex
pressing the opinions of many eastern
parents in his arraignment of the pub
lic schools of Now York City. He
complains that the education afforded
to the children of mechanics and la
borers is In most cases entirely im
practicable when their future callings
are taken into consideration , and in
sists that in nine cases out of ton , in
stead of being a help , the superficial
instruction given at the New York
grammar schools is a hindrance totheir
future advancement. Mr. Grant is
notedly an extremist , yet there
is an undoubted basis of fact
underlying his cducationational arti
cles. Much of the free education of
day is useless , and neglects thorough
ness in the elementary and practical
branches for an undigested mass of
superficial knowledge of subjects
which in the majority of instances can
never be practically applied by the
scholars iu after life. The great object
of our free school system is to diffuse
that knowledge among the rising gen
eration which will fit them to become
good , useful and enlightened citizens ,
which will prepare them to take their
p irt in winning their own way in life ,
in roaring and supporting tncir fami
lies without cost to the state and thus
in diminishing pauperism and crime in
the community. A sound , thorough
and practical education such as all
classes , poor and rich require , should
be furnished in the public schools.
No one class should be privileged beyond
end another. The professions have
their own schools in which strictly
professional men are trained. Their
functions should not ba usurped by
schools supported by the state. Nor
should the higher education , from
which a majority of our people by
their circumstances are- excluded , bo
included in the course of instruction
given is our public schools , and the
masses be taxed , to maintain teachers
and studies from which the majority
fall to derive any benefit. While
we do not agree with Mr. White
in his wholesale denunciation of the
American free school system , there is
undoubtedly ample room for improve
ment. Such improvement in educa
tional methods we believe is constant
ly taking place. Experience , the
greatest of all teachers , is impressing
its wholesome lessons on our educators
and is yearly exposing the mistakes
and rectifying the errors which neces
sarily attend the onward march of the
free schools in the United States. _ .
'New JsasEr has a mammoth white
elephant on its hands in the cage of
the Stevens battery , which is adver
tised to be sold on Sept. 27th , by the
master in chancery. In 1843 Robert
Stevens , a Hobaken millionaire , con
ceived the , idei of constructing a
mamoth war vessel , capable of resist
ing every attack , and he began work
on the steam battery. After his
death , his brother , Edwin Stevens ,
cortinued labor on it , and when he
died he bequeathed $1,500,000 to
complete it Less than § 100,000 of
the appropriation remains , and the
battery is still , ' after thirty-seven 4 '
year * , In an unfinished staU , Edwin
Stevens at his death willed
the battery to the state of
New Jersey , and his he5w
have since brought suit to recover the
property. The courts of New Jersey
having rafused to endorse their claim
the battery is now to be cold. Over
$2,500,000 have already besn expend
ed on its construction and the rent
of the property on which
It stands is worth $25,000
a year. The United States govern
ment would not allow its gale in time
of war in foreign states , and now In
time of peace it will probably only
bring a tithe of its cost of construction.

There is a certain brick building
In Cheyenne , not a thousand milps
from The Leader offica , whirh is at-
mo t worth its weight in gold. " The
brick * in irs walls are atleast impreg
nated with the prpoions metal to a
val" blo extent. The discovery was
made accidentally by a gentleman
who his an offioe > near by. He fre-
qnently noticed shining yellow parti
cles in the brick * , and , imagining
tbtt the colors were gold , he took our
a brick from the wa'l for th purcpse
of nacTUininsr tbe facts. This brick
he first pulverized and then pinnfd
out * hte colors. He could not get rid
of all the dirt , and concluded to oen'd
the ro'idmim to an s aver in Den
ver. In a few days the assay certifl
c te arrived , and showa * that there
was 38 cents worth of g ld in the
brick. The g ntlemnn then took out
two other bricks in different parls of
the bnildinc nd pulverized and pan
ned them as he did the first. The
name asavr g < we hJs certificate aa
follows : Simple No. 1. erold , 47 cents ;
flamp'e No. 2 , trnld , 24ceijU.
Wi'h ' remarkable so.cT < ? uy- the genj

came tbn bricks. After considerable
inquiry it was learned that the bricks
were mndin a yard'thai ' was former
ly itu < ited on Crow creak ; new Chey
enne , but which is now obliterated.
Further investigation , among the old
est residents , divulged the fact that
placer mining was at one tima arried
on along Crow crpek , bdt the minefa
thought that the pay wasn't bit ;
enouch , and they therefore abandoned
their claims. It was near these claims
that the brickyard , mentioned above ,
WAS started , and that explain B how
gold dust cot into the bricks.
All the facts in connection with the
new discovery of gold are now know'n
to the gentleman who learned the
above det'ihd facts. Being a man of
moderate means ho cannot purchase
the building for cash ; and the owner
will not sell otherwise. He hai. of
fered to psrl dovm and the balance in
ixmontisbuttho owner eaya "cash.
Hence the gentleman is in a quan
dary. Ha does not care to let any
moneyed men into ihe secret , for fear
he will lose the chance of netting the
til9 building. His calculation is to
buy the 8HmBandte ! rit down for the
Diup se of running the bricko through
a gold mill. Ho has overaged the
value of thq bricks at 30 cents' each ,
aud , the buildinS Beinjj vefy lartfe , hS
finds that at that rate he > can afford to
rcze the structure , get out the gold ,
put up a new building , end have a
good round sum of money left. Hence
he ia in a fever of speculation and is
worrying himself sick over the mat
ter. He still retains the .secret , and
has told it to but person , his counsel ;
and that being the writer , accounts
for the strange discovery being given
