A CONSUMPTIVE lady of Chicago , while

that where Improvements are made sub

TUB fact that a paying teller in a Now
York bank haa disappeared leaving a de
ficit of $160,000 , ia pretty conclusive evi
dence of looesncsi in the management of
the Institution. The mystery Is how a
paying teller could get away with that
amount unless ho walked off with the
money in one bundle Immediately upon
the closa of a day's business. It may bo
that ho accomplished the robbery in that
way. The caihlor of the bank was called
upon to explain how such a thing could
bo done , but ho ref asad to do so , and the
directors would say nothing about It.

IT Is a very poor day in Chicago when
Mayor Harrison can't think of something
to keep hluuclf before the public. His
latest self-advertising scheme Is the laan-

after to day. This sudden spasm of vir
tue on the part of a man whoso most in
timate political friends have bacn boss
gamblerj has caused considerable surprise
in nil circles. However , If ho enforces
hii order and rids Chicago of the gamb

now Includes nearly five hundred and
sixty thousand volumes , three hundred
thousand pieces of music , two hundred

fifty thousand specimens of graphic art.
It is now proposed to get additional no-
commodatlon in vaults through the In

INSIDE HISTORY OF THE KIEL
REBELLION.
The defeat nnd capture of Rlcl virtually
crushed the rebellion In the Northwest
territory , but it did not end all the
troubles. The Canadians now have in
Big Boar and his 700 warriors a moro
determined fee than they had In Rlel
and his follower * , but it is only a qnos.
lion of tima when the government troops
will whip thorn into surrender.
The inside history of the rebellion ,
which Is now coming io the surface , puts
Rlel in a very unenviable light. It shows
that his motives In stirring up the rebel
lion were of a mercenary character. Ho
sought to blackmail the government out
of money , and upon bo'ng ' refused ho
threatened to create trouble that would
cost $30,000,000. This threat ho has
succeeded in carrying out. Before
the outbreak ho visited Rw.
Father Andre , an influential Catho
lie priest of Prince Albeit ,
and ttiod to induce him to aid In getting
the half-breeds to > rebel , and to enlist
other catholic priests in the movomcnt ,
Rlel promising that the church should ro
ccivo half of all the half-breeds obtained
by the rebellion. The proposition was
Indignantly rejected. Rlol then wanted
the government to glvo him $2,000 to
leave the country. At the same tima ho
complained of the way ho had been
treated in 1879. Ho claimed that Sir
John McDonold had promised him $3,000 ,
but that ho had received only $1,000. It
was to Father Andre that Rlel made his
threat of creating a storm that would cost
$30,000,000 and a great deal of blood
shed , unless the government compiled
with his demand to give him enough
money to carry himself and family
to Lower Canada. When the
government was informed of this It re
plied that it did neb wish to hear any
thing about R'ol ' , and that it would do
nothing for him. Ho then precipitated
the rebellion , taking advantage of the
grievances of the half-breeds to cause
them to follow his leadership.
Riel's true character , now that it is be
coming known , together with hla mer
cenary motives , is making him an object
of contempt not only with the Catholics ,
but among the half-breeds , who begin to
see how they were made his tools. If
10 Is not convicted and put to death , ho
will probably bo killed by these who
: iavo been wronged by his courio. It Is
said that a secret society has baen organ-
zad at Winnipeg , composed of men who
wera imprisoned by Rid , both In this
and the previous rebellion , and those who
lave had friends or relatives put to death
or tortured by the rebalo , all cf whom
lave sworn to kill Rlol if he is not exe
cuted. It would seem therefore that the
rebel leader has but a small chance to
escape death.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S decision to re
commend to congress some measure to
relieve the supreme court of the press of
Duslness that now crowds its calendar is
very timely. The docket Is so overloaded
with cases that it will take several years
; o clear it up , even if no now cases are
entered. That something must bo done
s generally conceded. The docket , how
ever , would not have become so overbur
dened had the judges of the supreme
court performed a reasonable amount of
work. The fact Is that the judges are
olthor lazy or too old to perform much
work. Besides , we cannot see how anyone
ono can expect very much to bo accom
plished when they take an annual vflca-
ion of six months. If the president
would recommend that the supreme court
should do a full year's work for
a full year's salary ho would bo heartily
endorsed. If the supreme court is to bo
reorganized , it is hoped th&t some young
and vigorous blood will be infused into
It , and that the vacation be cut down to
two months or less. If tbo slow-going
and venerable judges that now occupy
the bench and fritter away tima and
money could all be retired and their
places filled with active , hard-working
middle.aged men of acknowledged ability
wo venture to say that the docket could
bo cleared up in a reasonable time with
out any increase in the number of judges.
The salaries are largo enough to induce
able and onorgotlc lawyers to accept the
position. .
CONOBESSMAN HoLMAN , the great objector -
joctor , will aoon bo in Omaha with 1 is
select committee to inquire Into Indian
affairs. The committee will bo accom
panied by their wives and other relatives ,
and while they may visit some Indian
reservations conveniently near to rail
roads , It looks very much as If Mr.
Holman had planned an extensive summer
junketing tour. The first place that
they will vitlt will ho the Yellow ,
stone national park. While they
are viewing the wonders of
this wonderland it Is to bo
hoped that they will thoroughly investi
gate the affairs of the Indians in the park ,
thus combining business with pleasure.
It is stated that they propose to visit
Idaho , Oregon , Nevada , and Washington
territory. In each of these sections of
the country they will find many places of
Interest , but very few Indians , and they
nro in a peaceful semi-civilized state , and
whoso affaira do not need any Investiga
tion. If Mr. Holnwn would visit the
Sioux and Crow reservations in this part
of the west , or go down Into Arizona and
Interview the Apaches he might possibly
find something of interest and importance
regarding Indian affaira.
THE oldest newspaper in the world ,
the PcMn Catclie has
, lately taken a
new lease of life , This venerable journal
has changed its form , Established In
the year Oil , the Pelin Gazette has been
published regularly since 1351. Under
the new arrangement tbreo editions are
published ; the first , the Klny-Paou ,
printed upon yellow piner , constitutes
the official Razotto of the middle king
dom ; the BtoDnd , the Usiny'Paoit ( com'
morcial journal ) , also printed upon yel
low shoot ] , contains information Interest *
ing to the trading community ; while the
third , 'tho Titant faou ( provincial gazette

of extracts from the other two editions.
The total circulation of thcsa three issues
Is 15,000.
WHEN congresi appropriated $400,000
for carrying malls In American steam
ships during the coming fisoil year , it
was generally supposed that It was In.
tended as a special subsidy for the Pacific
Mall steamship company , but the Bra-
zillan steamship company , aa well as
others , have put in claims for a share of
this money. This has stirred up n lively
wrangle , and the postmaster general Is
now hearing the arguments of the various
claimants In all probability the Pacific
Mail will have to divide the plunder with
the other claimants.

It Is difficult to understand how the
democrats can apply the charcEO of "ofFun
slvo partisanship" to Mr. Flanagan. His
famous utterance , "what are wo hero
for. " is a sentiment heartily endorsed by
the great majority of democrats. Nine
out of every ton democrats nro to-day
asking the same question that was niked
by Flanagan : What are wo hero for
any how , unless it is for the oflisoa ?
TIIK general synod of the Lutheran
church has resolved to apportion $00,000
among the churches for homo missionary
work , and also to establish in Omaha a
permanent headquarters for the General
Western Homo Missionary secretary.
This , in connection with the fact that
the general tynod Is to meet in Omaha ,
gives this city quite a religious boom.
Meantime It is hoped our citizens will
take stops to .secure tha Lutheran college
whih it is proposed to establish at some
point west of the Mississippi.
Tun people of southwestern Now
Mexico are complaining bitterly at the
peace policy pursued by Gon. Crook to
wards the Apaches. They contend that had
the Apaches been properly punished when
they were subduad in the first place , and
that if their arms and ponies had been
taken away from them , they would not
now have been able to go upon the war
path. If they are ever recaptured no
mercy should be shon n to them. They
should bo treated as any other red-
handed murderers would be.
GEOKOE W. JULIAN , seventy-eight
years of ago , has been appointed sur
veyor-general of Mexico. Some demo
crats think ho is too old for the place.
Mr. Julian , however , is an able and hon
est man , and is an authority on land
matters. Now Mexico needs such a man ,
but the trouble is that ho will find more
crookedness In that territory than ho
will be able to straighten out during the
remainder of hla life.
PROFESSOR RILEY , the entomologist ,
lias demonstrated that the soventeou-
year locust Is very palatable and nutritious
as food. Ho declares the locust equal to
fried oysters or frog-logs. Prof. Rlley ,
who oats grasshoppers and pronounces
them delightful , can feed on locusts if ho
wishes to , but the average epicurean , we
venture to say , will stick to frlod oyster
and frog-logs every time.
THE Omaha Fair and Exposition company

Not at all. Omaha hoi subscribed $40-
100 for the fair , and has only $9,900

the enterprise. This does , not look very
much like retiring from the field.
TIIEKE are now only two real contestants -

"Nob Hill Is the right placa for an ar
1st. When ho gets tired ho can rest ,
gazing at the beautiful ecsnes which tin
roll themselves before him. "
Speaking thus , a friend and the writer
passed the threshold of a noted local ar
tist , perched on the summit of the city's
fashionable hill. The object of the
visit was to see the portraits of some
Hiapano-Amorlcan presidents.
"I will begin with the greatest of all ,
Porfirlo Diaz , president of Moxlco , " said
the smiling aud .conrtoous artist , and
ho placed on the easel the portrait ot the
distinguished soldier. It was a remark
nblo tkouoss. Thcra was something mar
tial in the b.arlng , the uniform and soar
on the face , adding still mora firmness to
the already resolnto expression. The
typa revealed Indian blood ; yet the
dimple in the chin , the light in the eye ,
softened the sterner traits.
"Did you not sketch some of the
surrounding vloivs of the capital of
Mexico ? "
"I did notjlwls'iod to go in the
dlroction of Buena Vi&ti , just about
three miles from the city , but my friends
would not allow mo to go there alone ,
fearing that I might moot with some of
the gangs of highwaymen who infest the
suburbs of the city. Though the gov
ernment had 900 of thorn executed in a
summary way daring tha same year , they
are unable to chock thorn , and it Is dan
gerous to go out of the city without
being well protected , "
"Hero Is the here of the hour , Rnfmo
Barrios , " remarked the artist , a ? ho
placed another cinvai on the oasal.
"What a fiendish faoel" exclaimed the
friend ; "that man Is going to haunt
me. "
The artist smiled at the implied com-
pl'ment ' to his realistic power.
The impression made on the mind by
the striking portrait ia not easily effaced.
There is something luring in It , some
thing partaking of the sniko and the
tiger. _ The color , somewhat ofa copper
tint , gives the faoa a deathlike appear
ance ; the heavy , broad cUln indicates his
decision of character ; hla straight nosa
rather adds character to his face ; his
lips , extremely sensual , give credit to the
numerous stories afloat of the tyrannical
way in which ho satisfied his passions ;
his pointed head is stroagly Indicative of
Indian blood ; his board and hair are
coareo ; his oycs have a fearful , heartless
expression ; they are so penetrating even
on the cloth that it seems that can plerco
through anything and everything. It Is
a stern face , showing Intellect , supreme
contempt for other people , inspiring
dread , nnd fascinating at the same time.
Yon feel that yon are > in tbo presence ) of
a type , a character ; you are attrasted
toward It as the bird toward the snake
that charms it Into a snare. You see
engraved on the face cf that man an in-
domltablo will , a natural brutal instinct.
"Barrios,1' remarked the artist , "had
his good qualities. Sometimes he liked
to pose like another Solomon. For ex
ample : A woman pawned her jawejry ,
which waa very fine , for a small sum of
monoy. The Jew , knowing how valuable
it was , denied having it when oho called
for it. In her affliction she applied to
Barrios for protection and justice. After
hearing her story ho told her to sit down
and wait. In the meantime ho sent an
officer with a few soldiers to bring the
Jew into his room. As soon as ho entered -
terod ho ordered him to sit down at a
table * and wrlto to his wlfo to remit the
jewelry to the bearer. He then tender
ed the note to the aide-de-camp in
service , who returned with the contested
jewelry In a short time. Barrios gave
the jewelry back to the woman , and then
ordered his guards to administer a hun
dred lashes io the usuer and make him
pay $10,000 to the poor. The same man
who could be so just to a poor woman ,
could smoke his cigar quietly , sitting nt
bis own window , looking at the execu
tion on the plaza of seventeen poor fel-
fows acsused of treason , and then have
'or two or three days the kind-hearted
ladies who petitioned for the remittance
of the sentence hanging up in hammocks
n his yard , exposed to the inclemen
cies of the sun and night air. "
"Did ho pay any regard to his personal
appearance ? "
"Not at all ; ho | lid rotcaro for good
ilothes. You saw nlm at his best during
lia trip to thn United States , but when
10 was at homo ho neglected his app car-
mco very much. Ho dressed generally
Ike the middle class ; ho were the short
jacket and bandana with silk fringes. "
"Can you toll us aomothing mora about
him ? "
' Yes ; ho was most just in money mat
ters ; indeed , ho was exceedingly scrnpu-
loua. Ho would rather pay moro than
lie owned than defraud any one. When
I sent him some pictures with n mczo to
show them to him , ho took out of his
packet $5 and handed it to him , though
the general price for such a mossnge there
is only 25 cents. Indeed , I think ho
cared for money solely for the power it
gave him. "
"Had ho a largo family ? "
"Yes , eovon or eight children , besides
Mrs. Barrios' little ones , for whom ho
ehowod deep attachment. Undoubtedly
there was trno affection between Barrios
and his children , for his son Autoine
could scarcely restrain his emotion In a
conversation about the picture of his
father. "
"Perhaps yon would llko to see a
tiandaome Guatemalan woman ? " Saying
so , the artist took out the picture of a
lovely Guatemalan , with such life-like ex
pression sa the visitors had never soon
beforo. They x zed upon a dashing
military man with sufficient African
blood to toll even in & picture. It was
the late President GuardU , of Costa
Rlc , of such unenviable fime the same
who died owing England millions for the
famous Costa lllca railroad , the same
who never paid even his own personal
debts whenever he could avoid it.
"Ho w > s the little Napoleon of Central
America , " said the artist. "Ho rondo
himself preiident. Ho was a barefooted
peon , who was picking coffee beans with
his wife , Dona Amelia , " and tbo artist
put next to Guardla's portrait the like
ness of a fine looking lady , exceedingly
white , but with a sad expression. "He
became firat a soldier and then a presi
dent , through a coup d' ' etat.
Ho gained the Adhesion of
eleven patriots , who , havlrg procured
sufficient pistols und machetes
( long knives ) , hired a man for the pur
pose , who drove them In a vragon all cov
ered up with zicate or green griie.
When they passed by the cuartel or bar
racks , the driver called tbo eontlnol and
told him to ask the commandment if ho
would buy some zicate ; that ho , the
driver , would sell It for half-price on ac
count of bis having to ride far out Into
tha country. 'Jhn ecntlnol having in *
quired of the commander , who replied
la the affirmative , the gates of the cuar
tel were thrown open , the mcz > drove
in , the men jumped out , and by killing
the comnundant and every ono who rp ]
posed thorn , they obtained possession ol
the barracks , nnd Guardia proclaimed
himself president of Costa Rica. "
The next picture WAS that of the arch'
bishop of Mexico , Cardinal Labastldn
with the Castlllan blue eyes and typo ,
n rather good-natured face at firit sight ,
but a character deserving a close study
a little nose , Hko an osglo'a beak. Ho wn

Juat then the whole party studied out

judge and colonel's distributed themselves
among the cushioned soattoes.
"Yes , sir. 1'vo boarded hero a long

but I ahull never see her again. Oh , yes
I have Instituted proceedings to recover

Here ho stopped and pressed his threat
with his fingen and coughed. "My
throat gets very dry when I talk long.

got into a bad habit of taking a oocktail

All the colonels who had been snoring on
the leather settees filed oub In front of
the scribe. Col. A was twisted all
over on ono side and propped up on a
stick and had a clay pipe upside down in
Ills mouth. Ool. B was built some
thing like a battle. Ho had little feet
and little logs , under an Immense belly
that had all settled down In one place ,
Be were a beaver that looked as though
it had been boiled , and his face looked as
if it might have been dipped In too , long
enough to tnm coltr , like a lobster. Tim
Irogs of wine had settled In his nose , and
Instead of talking ho stood still and
wheezed. "Col. B once led all the
fashionable Germans hero , but ho has
gotten tired of the life of a society man , "
iald the judge , The colonel tried to
smile , but coughed and wheezed instead ,
and the veins In his note swelled up In
his nose spread themselves out over his
cheeks and swelled up In hit temples. All
; ho rest of the cclonels had long hair ,
red noses , and a great deal of dignity ,
On being infoimed that their now ac
quaintance was a temperance man , they
scattered around among the seats , nnd

The Efl'ects ol' Tobucco. {
The following extract ] from ' 'A Re-
eurae of the Tobicoo Qaeetion , " in the
Modlclo and Surgical Reporter , ar
itortby of attention.
After ono of the protrictcd dlicuislon
In England on the tobacco question , Dr
Richardson published , In 1802 , a snrion o
papers , which were summarized by th
Lancet , 18G3 , p. 070 , as follows ;
1 , The moro common effects are duo t
carbonic acid and ammonlo.
2 , The cffocta are but transitory ,
3 , All of the resulting evils ar
functional.
I Produces disturbances in blood
stomach , licirt organs of sensD , lu brain
sympathetic system , nnd mucous membrane
brano of month nnd bronchi.
5 , As a cau so f insanity , epilepsy
chorea , apoplexy , organic disease of heart
cancer and cansumptlon there is no
sufficient evidence.
G , It ia dolctirions io the young.
7. In the main it Is a luxury that an
nation is hotter without , and to the mint
conveys the Idea of physical detriment.
8. As a luxury tending to this con
clltlon , it Is ono of the least harmful , i
innocuous compared with alcohol , IB no
moro harmful than tot , lesi to than sugar
and Is antidotal to gluttony.
0 , It Is a remedy In certain caies fo
evils that lie deeper than Its own.
Smoking , when done at proper timed
facilitated digestion. The scneo of rolie
obtained by a cigar , after a heavy meal
is well known to smokers. Dyspcpsl ;
sometimes fellows the discontinuance o
tobacco , and is removed when the habit !
resumed.
Whllo the abuse of tobacco weaken
the system and leads to emaciation , usct
intelligently it cxcrls a favorable Influonc
upon nutrition ,
Hammond , by observation upon him
soli , found apa'n ' iu wolght with the use
of tobacco. Fisko attributed an increase
of twenty-four pounds in three months
to tobacco. "Tobacco , when the food is
sufficient to preserve the wolght , increases
it ; nhehInsufficient , and the body lo los
ing , tobacca reatrsins the lots. " [ Ham
mond.
Bcurhaavc , of Hi Hand over 200 years
ego referred to tobaccj aa being nn nntl
dotal to hunger. It seems that the ppwci
to undergo severe exertion and fatigue
either mental or physical , is aided by to
bacco.
Situations of lonelincsj are always roa
dered moro tolerable by tobacco , and it ii
the constant companion of these who lent
lives of solitude , such as that of the herds
man or ranchman. A fooling of unros
or discontent , made up of ill-defined long
ings , of imaginary disappointments anc
unpleasant antlpatlons , c jinmonly known
as annul , Is responsible far much unhap-
pinosa. This unfortunate condition o
mind Is removed by the soothing Influence
of a cigar , and the morosencts and gloom
are quickly dispelled. As much of every
day la filled up with care , our degree 01
comfort in thli lifo will depend largely
upon our ability to boar It uncomplain
ingly. That tobacco assists us to do this ,
that it enab'03 us to look upon life more
complacently , must bo the conclusion oi
every ono who has experienced its in
fluence. That it enables us to toll with
lees fatigue is equally trno The readies !
writers generally use tobacco , and can npl
accomplish the tame amount of work in
the same time without it , and thcsa con
nected with newspaper and ether literary
work who have often to wrlto against
time find it of inestimable value.
