A very pleasant affair , and one well worthy of belne recorded , took place Monday evening. Aspeclal meeting of Cipitol Lodge , No. 3 , A. F. & A. 3L ws called by the master , J. H. But ler , Esq. , at which about forty mem bers and visitors were present. Among otherjnembers was Hon. S. K. Jack- on , the retiring Master , who has served in the East for the past two years , and whose successor was elect- e 1 in December and Installed on St , John's dny. Mr. Jackson served his ' lodge ulthtully and well , and it wai determined to recognize hU services appropriately. Be- fora closing last night the secretary , Mr. W. R. Bowen , stepped forward and presented Mr. Jankson with mtgnificent geld watch , prefacing tbo gift with the following neat address "WORSHIPFUL MASTER On return tag to the city this evening I find inv poied upon me a dnty & ploasan talk which , incapable at any time o psrforming well , I am now entirely unprepared for. However , my man ner will prove a fitting foil to the bur den of my remarks. ' "There is one among us whom IB the past we have delighted to honor one whom years since wo deemei worthy of our trust and who has more than met our expectation ? . He has ruled as our matter and govcrnei the lodge with justice and pruicnce pleasant and genial in his n:2iier : prompt , firm and kind in the dig charge of duty , he may well n reive the commendation of 'tried , true ant trusty. ' "Appreciating these qualities , the members of Capitol lodge have placet In my hands this valuable time-piece as a token of their regard for their past master , Brother Stephen K. Jackson. In conveying this beautiful gift ] assure you , my brother , that it is ac companied by the sincere and hearty good wishes of the donors , who hope that you may locg live among us to enjoy i oed fellowship. May every tick of the time-piece remind you o ; our enduring regard , and may its face ever record sympathetic heartbeats among us al ! . In the words of Tiny Tom , "God bless us every one , " The retiring master responded as follows : MY UROTHEKS : 1 have not the Ian guige to exproij the happiness this occiston affords TOO. To say that ] thank you for this mark of yonr fa vor and esteem would conio far ahorl cf expressing my gratitude and delight light at receiving from your hands this valuable and beautiful token. But , valuable ns it is , believe me , II is not for ita intrinsic worth that I ee teem -ft most , but for the assurance that it coiuus from the hcirts of thocc who h&vo known mo long and well , and to whoso society and friendship ' am indebted for many of my happles' ' hours and greatest honors. I accept this gift not in honor t < any abilities or labors of my own bn a * a testimony to exalted virtues you yourselves have created and sustained and I will always cherish in m ; memory , the generous support , am encouragement ever accorded to me not only by the members of Capito Lodge , but also thoae of our slate lodges , who , during my official careo : were ever ready to assist in promoting glorious work for the elevation o Masonic virtues , in cementing mon firmly those ties of brotherly love ant affection which unite us Into ono sacrci band or society. Again , for thii elegant testimonial , pleaao accept my heartfelt gratitude. " The watch is one of the finest th& could bo procured , with a heavy eighteen carat case of the latest 'de sign. Upon the front was engrave < the monogram , "S. K. J. , " while the Inside lid bore the inscription , "Pre sented to S. K. Jackson , bv the mem bers of Capitol Lodge No. 3 , A. F. & A. M. , Omaha , Neb. , December 27th , 1880. " The whole was one of the finest pieces of workmanship that ever came from a jeweler's and was purchased of Mr. A. B. Hubermann , whose engraver did his finest work on the elegant lime-piece. It contained the finest "Swiss move ment. " Within the inscription was delicately engraved the "jewel of Past Master. " At the close of the pleasant affair the party adjourned to the residence of Mr. Jackson , whore they partook of a splendid supper and pasted the evening pleasant ! } ' , the company breaking up at a late hour.

A Coal Oil Can to Go With Mrs. O'Leary's Cow. Frustrating the Designs of a Runaway Eorae. At 7:45 : this morning all alarm of fire was sounded from box : 4. The engines ard Hooks dashed down Farnham street to the corner of Tenth to find that the bucket brigade had fought the flames nobly and suc cessfully , and that they could driye back again through the frosty air , which they accordingly did , The cause of the alarm , however , was serions enough and quito threat- euiug for a time. The family of Mr. O. F. Elsasaer , re- Iding in one of Mr. Jss. F. Morton's houses , iere just sitting down to breakfast whea ono of the little girls gave the alarm and they ran out to find the kitchen all in a blaze. It beIng - Ing washday , two tubs of water ore sitting on the floor , bat could not be got at for the dense smoke , but the well was within throe feet of the door and a bucket of Mops in the door , and the latter was first resorted to with an effect that probibly ? aved the whole block , a on'.muous row of frame building ? . The fire is ruppoeed to have caught In the wood-box which was filled with pipere , and the kitchen being scaled only , the heavy papers on its side burned like tinder. The roof was burned off , some clothing and furnl- taro destroyed , but the loss is slight and civered by insurance in a com pany represented by Judge Weiss. A curious circumstance is the fact that a can of coal oil which itood oa the corner of table right in the heat of the fire , and with the lid oil , neither took fire nor exploded , but wn3 the coolest ar ticle about the place after the fire. Thirty-aaven dealers h&vo been tip eince the fire to say that they sold this coal oil to Mr. Elsassor , and the thirty-eighth is being kicked down i lairs as vrc go lo press. A .S11JE IbSDK. An accident which nearly proved fital to a well-known citizen occurred as the department made ita run down Farnnam. Mr. N. I. D. Solomon'u hcraeaud wagon was standing in front of his atora , Iho former anchored to thesidowalkbyafiftacn pound weight. The animal , frightened at the smoking engines , started to run away with a wagon loaded full of gooda. Mr. Sjlotnon and one of his men seized him by the bit and tried ( o stop him , the former con tinuiug to hold on un'il the horsa dra geu him around the corner at Kountzc's bank. Mr. Solomon then seized the liorso by the nostrils and throw him to the ground , falling with him but fortunately cot underneath. A crowd rnn to the foot balicvhig that ho was killed - od , but fortunately ho was not injured beyond R feT ncratche * and Iho horse fared equally wull. The legislature should change Mr. Solomon's nnmo to S.ruDSou. The Extravaganza Seldom does the Academy of Music contain auch an audience as assembled Monday night to wiMicst the operetta , "EvcDgeline , plnyod by the Rtce party , iud moro seldom still is an Omaha audience confronted with a perform ance so thoroughly pleasing and on * tot-taming throughout. The music is light , and the libretto frivolous , but for a genuine , mirth provoking en * tertainment , "Erangellne" has novel been snrpatso 1 on Omaha beards. The balcony and boxen were re splendent with the elite and fashion of the city , and the parquet contained mauy of that discriminating class of our citizens that never grace the Academy by their presence except on extraordinary occasions. The play is of that class of specta cular extravaganz u that of late years has bacome so popular with American thoatre-goora , but is nevertheless far dbove the ordinary gauze .and tinsel anatomy exhibitions that depend upon sensualism for support. The piece was splendidly mounted , and with the gorgeous paraphernalia , dazzling dresses and bright costumes worn by the graceful dancers , made a truly pleasing spectacle. Ono of the novel features was the jjroup of bril liant ballet dancers. We have not spare to enumerate the specialties of each actor , but suffice it to say thai the company is a huge aggrandize ment , of theatrical talent , end the ensemble evenly balanced- Meteorological Report.

TALES OF A TRAVELER. A Remarkable Experience on a Union Pacific Emigrant Train. Predictions of a Big Flood Along With the Comet. Mr. C. F. Driscoll , the architect , of this city , baa just returned from a trip to Montana , where he spent several weeks In eight-seeing. The object of Jthe trip iras to recuperate his failing healih , and that object his friends will be glad to know , was fully realized. He left Omaha on the emigrant train , having been provided with a section in one of the new cars. Here ho was enabled to learn many thlngS connected with oVeHmd travel , and view the ever-varying landscape to better satisfaction than on any other train. TUB TRAMPS thut infest those trains are , perhaps , the worst feature about them. All emigrant tralno are through trains , and the conductor is never seen in the cars but once during his run , when h first takes the train. The usual meant employed by the tramp to beat the road is in pay His faro oui of UmahA to & few stations on the regular ex press , then await the arrival of the emigrant train , which he boards , and takes his quarters with the honeit 4mlgr nt& . Thsre wa& a negro on Iho train , who called himeelf Malcolm James Evangelist Thomas Jefferson Henry Martin , who said he was al lowed to ride from Cheyenne to Evauston fur blacking the conductor's bosta. x'ho train men art VEBY CAREtteSS tin : on Iho molintiln division , and do nit keep the supply of water and fuel np in the cars. One night , when th * thermometer was 17 degrnes below * 3ro , the passengers had to paoo the aisles of thti cAra to keSp from ireer- ing , there being no coal. The passen gers had to melt snow to quench their llilra * . Driven to desperation , a few passengers called on the engineer for coal , who Raid ho would supply them in consideration of fifty cent * . At this the passengers became in Ceneod and stormed the tender and look all the coal they could carry. For forty-eight hours this condition of things continued , there being three women and two children sick in the one car. Had it not been fcr A change of conductors they u.ight have been waiting nnlil the present time for their supplies. The passengers had to liter ally ste l what coal they had , repeat edly , or freeze. It certainly is nol known to the oflicera of the road thai nucb is Iho way their patrons are treated on the emigrant train ? . rROM niWLINSTO LARAMIK the ride w made gloomy by the large number of dead cattle to bo seen , which had died from starvation ; and many living unes looked as though they cjuld not survive the winter. At Big Springs thuy had come to the depot and crawled ncder the platform for shelter , there to die of hunger. Around every ahanly along tha road could bo seen several dead carcasses of cattle that had gone to it for shelter from Iho iturm. A rUtlo man was asked what 200C tons of hay would be worth to him at proaont : "Oh , about 2000 head of cut tle , " was the reply. He said also that hiy could be stacked for from one to ono and a half dollars per ton , and when a ked why ho and others did not provide thJr cattle with winter food to keep them from starving , he laid it was wasTOO TOO MUCU TROUBLE. to 'feed the hay to the cattle ; and during the hay season it is not known that the next winter will be a severe one. The fact is , that such enormous profits are made in the cattle busi ness that a year of heavy losses is not felt. A man said that some years ago ho leased 2,500 sheep to a young man , and loaned him money to pay the expensoi o [ the first year. At the end of four years the young man returned to the owner $12,000 in money , and had 88,000 and a large herd left as the profits. Some men , however , are not so fortunate. THE TERMINI 3 of the Utah Northern road is now at Dillon , but the grade is finished forty miles north of this tow rds Helena. It is a two days' rHe by stage from Dillon to Helena. Following the Snake river some distance it is crossed by the railroad at a place where nature seems lo have provided a point for crossing a stone pier , dividing the river into two distinct passages. After passing through Beaver Canyon beau tiful valleys are traversed , with high mountains on either side Near the terminus a fall of hot water gushes forth from a high , rocky promontory a sight notjoftcn seen in this coun try. The latter part of the trip from the terminns to Helena was made la & sleigh , the SNOW being thirty inches deep on the level. After having gone several miles the sleigh was thrown * over a precipice , from having a drunken driver , and the passengers and btggage were heaped "up together in fifteen feet of snow. Had it not been for the snow wWre they lighted the whole party would hare fallen down a mountain side , for 2000 feet. But one hour set the party en their feet again , and the sixty miles into Helena was made without further trouble. HELENA IN WISTEU i indeed a picturesque city. It has about 0,000 inhabitants. Most of the buildings have rather fUt roofs , and the snow lodges on the houses to such an extent that some of the weaker roofs hive given away under its weight. Men make It a business there ehovellini ; snow from the house tops into th * itreets. Thi * , rf course , makes an embankment along the tide w ll which , in many instances , reaches up to the awmngi , making a oirploto TU55EL along in front o [ the store * .

Everything that we sell in Omaha for five cents is readily disposed of at a quarter in Helensbeer , cigars , etc. , included. There are a great many gambling houses in the place and they are well patronlz d. They all seem to be making money , and everything has the appearance of thrift and suc cess. The place has no city govern- merit , but Sgbt : src f ? --2 &e atree , and severely puiifshod when they do occur. If a man strikes another they are both fined excessively and locked up in the penitentiary. Cues are on record where a common knock-down has cost each participant $100 and costs. There arc sereral hundred OHINEBH in Helena engaged in mining , cook ing for the whites , washing , in the mercantile business , etc. There are several Chinese women there. They are the most repulsive looking ani mals 6n the continent , , They are de scribed as having thidk lipe , a flat nose , which spreads out all over th& facennkempt ; and gressy hairslovenly in dress and Glthy in habits. They have B hotel there.

There U one nl&n there4a merchant ; who is said tobe forth f40,000 or more. He keeps his own books in Chinese writing , In ft very neat manner. He showed his sales for one day to be $38 cash and 98 credit. He said that his bad ac counts amorinted to over 818,000. The Chinese are very eiperi mathe maticians , and can solve the most difficult problems In fractions before the whites can "reduce them to writ ing. " They do this by means of beads strung upon wires , which they finger with the quickness of thought. The merchants throughout the city proudb thomselteS with these ala.es to accommodate their Chinese SUB' tomers. TAKE WABNINO. The people of Montana say that in case the unow in the mountains takes to thawing suddenly , the Mia * sonri will overflow , and everything along its banks be swept awir. They advise the cities along the Big Muddy to provide against a flood. G. A. R.
