I remember a swell young follow who came to iinaha ton or twoho years ngo , fmm 'ngland with nbout ton th6usand ollnrs , plenty of line clothes , an Imtulauco of jewelry , nnd last , bnt not least , good education. Ho went on a spree width asted for eighteen months. Ono morning ho vole i up Hobcr , ttrangoto eay , and upon look- nc oor bia assets ho found that o\ory cent ! his ton thousand dollnrn was gene , and his othes and jewelry were inso.dcnthls 'nnclos. ' p'lmt chagrined him more thnn anything oleo vas to find tint all ids friends were gone , too. Vfter his inonoy was gouo ho had no friends , [ o then for the first time realized the fact thnt 10 best friend a man c.m have la the mighty ollar. Ho quietly packed up his grip Back , nd walked out of town , determined to brace p and earn n dollar or two for himself. At n tone quarry , in this state , ho found employ- ncnt as tlmo keeper , and shortly afterwards 10 secured a position as a school teacher , thus Halting use of his education. Ho kept ntcadl- y on , and eventually bccamo the principal of f a high school , and to-day ho is ono of the eat educators in Nebraska , and a happy man vith a wlfo aud sot oral children , and a com * jrtablo homo. I know him well , and occa- ionally meet him when hoisits Omaha , nnd lien wo talk over the old 'hurrah' times in Omaha. Ho is yet a young man. His history hews that it is never to late to inoiul. I pro- ese to follow his example. This is my last rink , so here goes ! " "How ( do you spell Marechal Neil oses ? " This question was asked by a BEK re- iorter of half a dozen different parties not a eng tlmo ago , when ho was engaged in wiit- ng up a brilliant wedding in which Marechal l roses figured quits prominently among ho floral decorations. No onn seemed able to pell the name of the rose correctly. The re > ortor couldn't find it in any English or French liclionary , and ho accordingly In ten iowod sev eral milliners , oil of whom admitted that they could not spell the naino although they could ironounco it. Kvorybody had seen it in print rime and timongain , but nobody could romom- > cr how to spell it , so the reporter spelled it 'Marechenillo. " but after looking it o\cr changed his mind and concluded to write it "Marshal Nnil , " and take his chances on it. LIe has since laarno 1 thnt the correct spelling 8 Mnrechal Noil. "Talking of the Marochal Neil rose reminds mo , " remarked a well-known society la'ly , who is n constant attendant nt the theatre , "that It is undoubtedly the pro per bouquet for opera. It is very expensive ; l > ut then it is BO white and Hits leaves are so soft that it is almost the embodiment of pnri ty. Jacqueminots are especially designed for the society drama , and % iolcts and camolias may keep them company. At times when one cannot get bouquets composed of those flowers , panties aud'chrysanthums will do , but they look better and apparently omit a sweet er perfume when comedy is on the boards. 1 noor go to see Barrett , McCtillough or Keene without carrying a tuberopo , for tubnrones seem to mo strong and half tragic in the in tensity of the odor they cast oil. The lily is too chaste for anything except a quiet homo reception , and heliotrope is put to so man ; uses that its lifo is ono round of drudgery.1' "Hartley Campbell , the author of'SI boria , ' which wo saw at IJoyd's opoia house , remarked a well-known thoatro-goeJ , "is a very successful playwright. Although h does not escape criticism from the nownpapc critics , ho touches the popular chord In hi plays. Ho is a prolific writer. His boo jilnys are 'The Galley Slave , 'My 1'artnor , 'Fairfax' 'Siberia' and Ids latest. 'Hopa tion/which has just been produced in NewYor and has inaJo n hit. A few ycara ago liarl ley Campbell was n poor country editor , am ho concluded to better his fortune by attempt ing to wrilo for the stage. His success ha. : iot boon instantaneous by any moanx I think ho has written forty or fifty play * fiom which ho has made n comfortable littl fortune. Ho spends his inonoy freely , mi < lives like n lord. Ono of the most ; promlnon Now Voik critics recently said of him that h had inado enough inonoy out of ordlnar plays to afford to take more tlmo to d > ; vote t u drama that would rise far above the avenvfi that ho could produce a play of rroat mor ; there was not the least doubt for ho hue already given evidence of possessing grea dramatic talent , and all that was rcqulrat was mora pollnh , which could be obtained b tinia and study. " "What do you think of that rumo about the Burlington running Us Chicag trains into Omaha ? " a promlnontrallroud man not a Burlington official , was Asked. "Tl rumor no doubt has a peed foundation , " nn ! he , "but just when the Burlington proposes to inaugurate this programme I catuiot say. ' . bolleveho\vnvorthat it will not befnrolf. Th llurliiu'ton IH evidently preparing to do com * thing < if the kind , andiii playing a lone ham ox It intends to do , it can well afford to niaki a mom of this character. It will bo well repaid paid by the pooulo of Omaha. The lit ) llngton is well fixed to do It. as has its own bridge and Its own entry nm terminal facilities in Omaha , and the wondc is that it did not do it long ago , notwllhetam ing the Iowa pool.

" "Hour about Utah rates-one day tUe are fixed and the next da they are unfixed ? " "It doesn't jnaV much difference to any body juat now. M ill roads are carrying very , little Utah freight The fact of It Is that Utah LOB been over stocked with freight during the cut in rates and it will bo rouio time before the goods ou bo worked off. " "How about the trlimrtlt pool ? " "It's a game of now you nee u , nm now you Mou't. It't hard to keep track o the situation , anil tell who'd who.
