As mayor of Omaha I now I am expressing the fit-artful eliups of all clasaes of iU citizens hen I asauro UUNKltAI. CKOOIC at ho nnd hia brother ullicers tli them on their fur western carry jour- y naught _ but the most Bincere shea lot their welfare , and for a petition of those succotaes which ve hitherto BO notably distinguished ur every military movement , llest mred that thu minutest details of ; j campaign on which you are about enter again will bo moat cleanly tched by a host of frionda in thia inily , for it almost seems as if ono "the manor born" was about to J in thia rcsponaiblo work of the enoration of Arizona , la ono of the buuinesa men oi thia ' I can truthfully Bay ( hat never , ; since the department of the Platte WBH organized , has there existed more pleasant relations between the military and the civilians than that which has characterized the ngimc of General assure you , general , 11KOHCT that they nro to soon to bo compelled to part * with you , and thit they look upon your removal only sta a tempo rary separation , which , hi time , will make the weluamo on return the moro heartfelt. Remember our kindest and best wishes will bo with you nt all times and wherever the require ments of military duty may find you. Omaha extends her riyht hand bf good fellowship at parting , with feelings ' -.ocd" itli sadness , though fully aware that you are entering upon the rcalaotivit , ' life MoWicr'8 , which must bo so preforauio to you enter ing upon a campaign wilt/ . * increased military honor and fame ate lu > 0ru for you. which wo a1l _ know you so richly douerva and will so manfully wear. wear.When at the conclusion of hia nd- drosH iho mayor proposed the toaet 'Our Guest , " there was a ponural movement of apphuso and General Crook , rinini from his so t responded briefly but feelingly to the sentiment. toucrnl Crook said : I JiiW It would bo folly in mo to itttumpt tp reply fittingly to the complimentary words of the mayor , B but I assure you that J , ns well us my odicera , npprtcinto this high compli ment ao gonirously paid us. In ull my exponent in the service I have never boon inV place moro agreeable , nor loft ono with greAter regrets than I do Omaha. I shall over watch with in terest the growth and prosperity of your city , and in future will look buck to the moments spent hero as among the happiest of my life. Mayor Boyd read letters of regret from Gov. Nanca nnd J. Sterling Morton , nnd Hi MI proposed the nccond toast of the livening , "Tim Depart ment of the i'latte ' and its Command- era , " which was thus responded to by Col JJ' - ' Dlclcoy- Mn. TOAW MASTEU AND GENTLEMEN Only yesterday I was notified by the committee that I was expected tc take the place assigned to our eminent , worthy i nd eloquent fellow-citizen , the Hon. Ezra Millard , who had been invited to respond to this tcaat , who being called to Colorado last night , is not able to bo present. I have therefore to uak your indul gence while I cfl'er a feeble substitute for whnt might have been , had Mr. Millard not bcon nbfiont. "The Department ot the Platte and its Commander s" I am sure any citizen of Nebraska or Omaha would bo ploasiid to respond to thia toast. I am doubly pleaecd to have the priv ilege , and only regret my lack of ex perience in thia direction , and want of time for preparation , will not oriablo mo to do the subject justice.

The orRaniaw . of the department was perfected and its machinery put into detailed opera tion about fourteen yearn ago under the command of that brilliant officer , f"i ?

Augur. ment , want1or * W military depart long te n feu by the old settlers , who had their hem anj property in Nebraska , previous.to U establishment , and hailed it with delight - light and satisfaction. Gen. Augur commanded the depart ment for several yoara with great ability , winning golden opinions from all with whom ho came in contact. His services while hero were deserving of the highest estimation. The protection furnished by the department of iho PJatto under his intelligent command made it possible to complete the great national high way - the Union Pacific railway yoara before it cold have been accom plished without , but , after the man ner of the military , ho loft us. He ffont to Texas , carrying with him the uHection nnd regard of the people , Many are hero to-night will recall the dohchtful patty given to him and hia amily upon the occasion of their de parture. General Augur aerved about four fears in the department of the PJatto , id wan succeeded by General Ord , ivho in turn wun succeeded by the 'ontluman who is our gueatto-mght- lonoral Gaor e Orook. Thss military department ia ono of rnat impartanoc. and the rcsponai- ility placed upon ita commander , cs- icoially during the past few years , hould not bo underrated and cannot 10 oxaggearattsd. Few of ua iisido rom those who know by our buBinoes 'olations have any correct idea of how much wo are indebted tb the depart ent of the PJatto for the present irospority of Nubmaky and the citj f Omaha. By its fostering care the depart- nont of the Platle haa made poasibo ho settlement and reclamation of the iM wastes of the west , which worn oforn given up to thu Indians nnd the buffalo , but which are now loaded down with abundant crops ready for the harvest , und swarming with thous , ands of cattle ready for the market By its protection the treasurers of the grand old mountain * were opened up to the industry of man. Without the military this could not have boon. lit may well bo proud of the posi tion ho has achieved in hia profession if his native modesty forbids thia the city of Omaha will bo proud for . him and of him and I am nuro I express - press the sentiments of every citizen within the limits of thia department , m aaying that wo will huil with pleasure - uro the promotion tliut ho lua just P earned and auro to overtake lum , and 8 , lso in expressing the hope that wo lu may , many of ua , aoo him in preserved BO icalth at thu head of of the army of BOWJ ho United States. lo It has boon my good fortune to 1C enow General Crook well , and to bu CO hrown with in buaineta , in the social sh irclo , as a traveling companion nud shwi t his homo , and assert from personal at : nowlcdgo that ho ia a man gifted m ? rith nerve , rare good qualities , and as loss faults than most of us , andre sec ro should all bo , us wo are , glad to of do him honor. Ho is gifted with won derful potaonel magnetism and the finest social qualities. None know him but to love him. Strong mot. love him , the ladies all love him nnd seek him. Hii personal stiff nro r.s devoted to him as ft child to its moth er. er.While this is true , the officer * of the department have also uuarded with jealousy the rights of the In dians under their power , and protected them. Having said this much in regard to the department of the Platle , I now say a few words of its pronont com mander , Gon. Crook Ho came among ua with a well de served , world wide reputation as the boat Indian tamer in history , fresh f rotn liU brilliant achievements in the wilds of Arizona among the belliger ent Apachos. Ho had made many "go ° d India"8" ov.tllcro . nnd.haj . imviu.A thu remaining ones with a most profound ironptct for him. And einco ho lias boon _ in command hero the Indians of this department _ have leanifid lesson * ho bus taught in Arizona. Ho has had occasion sometimes to chas- tUa them , but in my opinion his pow er to control these wild men of the plaint ) , comes not so much from the power of arms an from their confidenctS in him , which h.is been warranted by hit ) courao with them on all occasions , in strictly fulfilling all hia uromisca to them , either of reward or punishment , But when war haa been necessary General Crook and hia intelligent , brnvo and loyal subordinate officers and soldiers have never failed to con duct hia campaigns in a manner to challenge the admiration of all , By his matchless modesty , honesty and : i "ainglo tongue , " ho commands respect and mastuis every situation. When trouble arises at an agency In thin department they all cry for Gun- oral Orook. When there is un outbreak in j Ari zona the cry in for General Crook. When there is wanted good advice and counsel in Washington , General Crook is in demand. At the conclusion of Col. Dickey's speech wine and cigars were circulated and the third toaat of thu evening , "Omaha as a Manufacturing and Commercial Center , " was responded to by Hon A. JPopploton. . Mr. Poppleton begun his address with a half humorous , half serious ac count of the early duyn of Omaha and a comparison with the situation at the present day , when the factories and industrial institutions are num bered by the score. He said that no city of like population's and equal ad vantages conld surpapa our OATH , Re ferring to the occasion of the present asaenibly , he paid a glowim ; tribute to Gon.

The toast "Nebraska and its bril liant future was responded to by Hoii' John Ii. Webster , who said : MK.

To-day our cattle are feeding the hungry of Chicaeo and Now York and our grains are floating through the markets of Europe. Our limitless plains are stretching from the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains to the Klmaouri , and the rich harvests are dazzling the sunbeams with their brightness. Adam , when , in the no w- IIUBM und grandeur of God made man hood , ho stood upon the topmost hill of Paradise and looked down upon the whole hemiophoro of the yet un developed world , saw not a more uleasing proapact to the tillers of thu mil than is now the state of Nebraska , Europe is casting her eurplu.i of copulation upon America nt the rote > f notrly huit u million annually. The nHocurity to person and property has vastod the ancient empires of thu cast ; lie Mediterranean now w.ishen thu loasls of unimportant na'iona and of heir indigent people. The Bedouin Vrabs now wander over a land once aa lopulous ua France , and among the uina of Ninivohan exceedingly great ity of three days journey. Hardly wo centuries age Spain was the richest nd moat powerful nation in Europe , n whono dominions the sun never et , and whoao people , distinguished like in arts and anna , carried their .ii ! and their renown to either pole nd encircled the earth with golden Imina of their commerce. Now Ian- uago seems hardly adequate to do- : ribo their poverty and abasement nd the wiotched condition of Spain. Now Jersey haa now a population of SO persons to the square mile , New 'ork has 108 to the square mile , .hodo Island haa 211 to the square lilo , and Massachusetts haa 2'8 to 10 tquaro mile , while Nebraska haa i yet but G to the square mile.

Nebraska A : 11 achieve all this , for she is a better ui ite , haa a better soil and better di ri1 tto than any of the statoi named. ov The boundless liberty of America , tri : urod and maintained by the wisdom W her statesmen and the patriotis of in her army , is rapidly becoming the center if population , of commerce , of wealth and of enterprise of the world. The fathers of our country at ono time cxpactcd to hold this people to the east of the Alleghanics. When they Uid the touudation of the cipitjl at Washington they made it to face the rising sun. Its great porch , on which all of our presidents have bten inau gurated , looks out to the eastward. To the caat of that vast palcco of mnr- blo it waa designed the national city should bo built ; but westward the star of empire has taken its way , until the roar of that building looks out upon the multitude of our people. You are seated to-night near the center of the republic , and in a state that is bound to become as populous as the eaat , in her brilliant future. Italy has a population of 235 to the square mile , anu Great Britain nnd Ireland have 258 to the square mile. If Nebraska was as populous us Great Britain and Ireland , it would have 1COG ! ) 710 of people. ISnuliud proper ia not so largo ns Nebraska , yet England has over 21- 000.000 of peoplo. Thia is no visionary conjecture measured by the marvellous growth of the century past ; no man can gucpa the future. The progio33 cf Nebrieka shall , like the llignt of an eagle nuwly bathed , bo right onward and upward. Gen. Orook ia about to sever hia oflicial connection with his people , and wo ere assembled to extend to him this expression of our apprecia tion and admiration. \Vo shall all misa hia genial pres ence. His associations loft behind will miss him. The business men of Omaha will miss him ; the farmer of Nubraaka and the cow-boy of the the plains will misa him , aud lust of all the wild geese of the Platte valley will misa him. All regret the necessity ot hia de parture , and truat that thu fortune } of war und our good luck may sometime bring him back to our hearth and homo , where ho may feel aura of a most royal welcome.

OiuiiiMAS AND GENTLEMEN : I feel deeply sensible of the taut that mv selection for the pleasing duty of replying to your toaat has not been oc casioned by any deairo on your part to listen to a defense or eulogy of our military establishment ; certainly , had auch been your intention , your choice would naturally have fallen upon someone ono of my older or more distinguished comrades. I am euro that to men like your selves , many of you VETERANS OF OUK OllEAT CIVIL WAll , but little could bo told that you did not already know , and yibrhupj it is juat aa well that the toast nhoulj bo allowed to pans almost without reply , aincoour army is ono of those institu tions wliosu achievements should bu i'a moot eloquent advocates. When o Ulcers of the army and navy duvoto too much time to defending or eulo gizing with tongue or pen the profes sion to which they belong , tnere io some danger that their swords may be rusting in their scabbards , Our itrmy IN TIME OP PEACS is at best nothing but a well-discip lined police force , organized and maintained to repress turbulence and disorder on the frontier , and not aa the advance gur * i of colonization ; its little fragmeiitiA'e nothing but social drift-wood , borne on the foremost tion7 Viftfwfl0liY&0J ( g tide of civiliza floating it may bo accented * ans ha ! Taecl that civihzuion ia coming and ia COMING : TO STAY. The old statement that the army was the pioneer of civilization was true in its day , but it is no longer true. Civilization is advancing so rapidly that the army has all it can dote to keep abreast of it , the ofiicer who atarts out on a scout nowadavs ia likely to find when he turna back upon his own trail that it is already white with the canvas-covered wagons of the immigrant , and , if ho bo at all alow in rotnming to hi post , ho runs consid erable danger of being CUHSI1EI ) UNUEK THE WHEELS of a locomotive. Two of the moat pleasant features of the military ca reer are the perfect familiarity ac quired with the possibilities and pros pect of our great country and the agreeable social relations which arise with the people among whom our of ficers and men have to servo. It is un der this aspect of the case that I aup- ppao I have been called upon thia eve ning. Whatever knowledge of TUB OK DAT WEST maybe conceded me , I hope that no one will deny mo the right to apeak in glowing terms of the generous hos pitality und courtesy at ull times ex tended by the citizens of Omaha , to the ( iflicers of the army with whom they have como in contact. My remarks - marks have been very similar to Arto- Ward's lecture upon "the babes in the wood : " that contained , as you know , much of everything else und but little ibout "THE IUI1K8 IN THE WOOUSj" 10 , my reupoiifo haa not contained niich about military matter ; , but were [ eloquent enough it would have eaid t very great deal about the delightful : eliitions which have bound us to jour > ity ; rulationa which , I regret to hink muj ) now ba sundered in obed- once to orders from our superiors , rho army ofiicer reminds me of poor 'Joe" ot "I am all alonos , " in Dick- ns1 story of Dombey and Son , when- ver he has become A TKIKLE COMFOIITAULE . he secretary of war , like the grim j. olicoman , tolls him to keep moving n.

HAWTHOKN & Buo. , Lancaster , Pa. DURKEE'S DELIVERY Just Suited the Royal Lead- ville Bluea. The BM.'B Bndly Beaton. Harry P. Kelly's carbonate b.iao balliats have come and conquered. Their game with the B. & M.'s yes terday afternoon was ono sided yet interesting. The crowd was ono of the largcbt yet contained in the B. & M. grounds and heartily enjoyed by the Union Pacifies and a few who were so fortunate as to back the gon- glcmen from the mining camp. The B. & M.'a can lay their defeat to Durkee's pitching , which more than pleased the gentlemen who wear their hair long. If the B. & M.'s could only only have trimmed up their hair , the chaifcla are they would have have had lesH strength at tlio bat. As it was , they worn Sampsons , Jumbos , every ono cf 'em. Foutz , the pitcher , is a paralyzer , and no mistake. The H & M.o have a total of three hits oil' hia liuhtning nd "teasing" alow balls. In the game B iS : M.a played fairly , but hardly up to their standard. Croaby got hit by Ellis m the aovcnth inning on a throw to third , and played a little out of joint all through the game. But the main defeat is laid ut the door of Durkee's mansion Heretofore ho haa held his own among our beat visiting clubsbut the "Blues" are so different , you know. Mr. Mpnraorency , the B. & M. manager , ia not overcome or dejected at hia fovorite's dofeut.
