When Jack doffed his ftripeJ robes and re- ok.ik-d hiiMs li in citizens' garments he fMmi waiting inr him ia the reception room a delation of noted snorts from the Omaha bowery , conspicuous among whom loomed the t-tata * of "Baby" ' Barnes , while Jack Nugent , Bd and Herb Holbery , Colonel Forbes , P. H Nefl nnd Jack Morrison made up the balance of the delegation. Thi * delegation of Omaha citizens readied the city the evening before and as they marched into the Capita' nolel , oonspicnons with plug hats and caues , a number of timid cili- JMWIS fell over tbe steam radiator. The next morning as soon as Jack was brought up by them from the pen the rounds of the town were made and the sporting res rt had numerous calls , but not until the delegation had visited a bat emporium and clothed Jack in a new plug were they ready for the trip to -Omaha. To a BEE reporter Hanley said ho couldn't talk much ; that he was al- niobt flighty he felt so good to be out again , and although tbe day was raw and chilly , it was the most pleasant day for many months to him. "I had the best of treatment , " said Hanley , "out at the pen and consider that Nobes used me as well as con Id be asked , but when some of the delejration joked about a match in the future. Jack told by his jvo Ia thai u * uew VTheli be hsd enough" The local sporting fraternity looked with a good deal of awe upon the Omaha crowd , and one of tlie Joeal men vent ured the assertion as be looked upon the elegant tiles of the tourists , that they looked a = though they were readv for a hard winter. When the delegation was last noted a Church Howe man was chas ing them to tbe depot to jrive them a pointer on what it would cost them to kill off a new prize fighting gambling bill if they failed to do their part in electing Howe to congress. curiicii HOWE A rKOUinrnoNiFT. It C. Barrow , tlie state evangelii-t of ihe Christian church in Nebraska , who is traveling up and down in the state on Missouri 1'acifie passes for all any one Knows writes to the'Christian E sage-list at St. Louis and says : The zepubhc&n state convention tesolvod to .submit a prohibitory amendment to the lople. 1 nm piven to understand that Hon. Church Howe , candidate forconenss Irom the nr t district , was the prime mover in the matter , i think Uie amendment will carry. Brother Barrow seems to speak by the card for Church Howe and the citizens of Lancaster county who oppose prohibition and are being stuffed by Howe's commit tee in an attempt to make them think that Howe is feminist prohibition will lind food for thought in this selection. HNT1IUSIATT 1C LANCASTEJZ. Jn the efforts to boost up the stampede againM Howe in Lancaster county , the Journal does not hesitate to stoop to any means of misleading voters. The follow- ingisan e.\tract from Sunday's Journal : Trora e\ err corner of tlie count v couies the cheerlnc intrillgence that as ui-nal Lancaster county will gi\e Uie republican ticket the largest majority ot any county iti the state. At\heireetineat Raymond last night the enthusiasm for Howe and the rest ot the ticket wa unbounded. The spt-akmp was done by C. O. Whedon and C. L. liall , ol this city. Now the facts in this case , as related by a farmer that was at the meetinjr , are that there were ten men and the reft of the audience were boys ; that .Mr. Whee- don put a clean shirt on Howe and held him up to the audience , and then the audience repudiated the trickster , and the'rneeong , what there was of it , came near breaking up in a row. WITH iflCIIML INTENT. Dora Johnson , a young lady living in this city , attempted euicide Sunday by the use of morphine , and the results of her rash act will terminate fatally , as the physicians ill charge " give no hope of tier recovery. It is tbe"old story of blighted affections , and there is a young man in Lincoln who will be haunted by n dead girl's face for many a day. for sbe was a jrirl above suspicion , highly respected by all her associates , and no word of cen sure has ever been spoken against her. As the particulars come to the BEE Miss Johnson has been for some time living in the family of E , M. Streator , where she has been employed. Some two years ago she became acquainted with a joung man , with whom afterward she became engaged , but a short time back he has neglected iier and finally , as it is stated. ceased to speak to her when they would meet. Since Wednesday last she has " brooded over her desertion until the took the poison from which she now lies dying. STATE HOUSE NOT E5.

No 4s , in the Chicago depot , and died on his run between Clifton and Ashkum. It was believed that he died of cholera niorbus. Whatever it was. how ever , it was found that every clerk who had anything to do with the tick man a seized with a sudden and severe ill ness. Although not fatal in any case , at least two barely escaped with their lives. The transfer cJerK at the Chie-ijo depot , the clerk in charsu of the car , and two others were subject to this strange afPic- lion. lion.Now Now all the clerks anile in the belief that there has been something very iintru- lar about car 43 ever since the occur rences related. The iron bolts which keep the folding bunks in place will per sist in slipping out and letting out the bedding , at all sorts of inconvenient seasons , in spite of every known device to .secure them. The bolts to the closet under the letter case , it is reported , can not possibly be. kept fastened. The doors have now been bolted , locked and then tied 10 keep them closed. The men say that when they go to sleep in the bunks in that car they are awakened by strance noises never heard in any other car , and it is impossible for a man to- sleep at all unless he is completely overcome by fatigue. Jn sliort , the boys declare that No. 4S is bewitched , ana they got the horse-shoes first to try their quieting in fluence upon this car , and , in the mean time , have attached them to others on general principles , thinking that if there were an v virtue in the ch.arni.it might prevent bad luck in the other cars as well as to restore ! o 43 to its old-time condition. Near- ! Good as Mark Ttvaln's Conn Journal : An old gentleman at Twekesbury for niany years rode a hliuJ horse Though sightless , the steed , which had probably txsen a good fencer once , bad learned to jump whenever ne re ceived a hint that he was desired to do bo. One day , after a run with the hounds , some hunting men were talking in the bar of a hotel about jumps , and the owner stoutly maintained Uiat that ani mal would jump over a single obstacle which none of their hunters would leap. He was ready to back his words with money , and , as the result of the conver sation , he made four bets of 5 each on the subject. Very soon the four sports men repented of risfcmg their money so rashly. Tlie owner of tne blind here put down a straw in the street , nnd this con stituted the "ob Ude. " He rode np to it , and the blind steed , reloading to his call , "rose at tie rasper , " cleared ii with a bound four feet in the air , and covering twelve feet of ground at least , Xone. of the other four horses would rise at the straw , and the owner of the blind horse was 2 0 richer. AVilliam Bates , the notorious young colored loafer and thief , has been nr- rested for vagrancy and will be given a Jury trial.

Subdued light from many-colored stained glass windows dews fittingly illuminates tne piaee , efli- picin gold and marble decorate it , nnd Irom a mas-ire altar of precious stones and metals death seems to smile upon life. life.To To my mind Napoleon Bonaparte c - i'ts as a ty pe ol all that is wicked and monstrous m human nature and destiny , an arch-nVnd , with frenzied gift of mili tary ambition and genius ; and in no sense worthy of such a temple. It could lind , indeed , no adequate reason for be ing , e > cept that it stands not alone as a monument to a famous warrior , but al-o as a symbol of national pride and glory. Illogical as it may be. and unchristian , yet as Jong a * might can force its way nirainst rijrht , I uppose men and women will cont'nuo ' to fan down and worship mere proves ? . Bonnparte wa = not a statesman and he was not a patriot. He was not even a Frenchman. He wa a vulgar foreign adventurer , who lind diseoiered anew trick of war , precisely as a gambler miirht discover a new trick of cheating , and , greatly favored bv fortune , he played his marked cards successfully tiiiiii iueV Were revealed to othfer experfs and began to be played back upon aim , when down he went , like any other char latan. He had neither Uie self-restraints of a nreat character nor the sajracity of a great intellect. That he was. personally , n coarse , vainIorious bully nnd egotist we have abundant testimony for believing , and none to the contrsrv , and , though he has lain in this gorgeous mausoleum Jess than half a century , and. thonsrh the land is full of memorials whien be caused to be erected in his honor , no influence of his can be found w'lieh is not distinctly a cure. He loncded neither a system nor a dynasty. The code to which" he attached hi- name was none of his. Tne one successor , bearing that name , who followed him upon the throne , as not a Bonaparte at all , but notoriously the illegitimate f on of a Dutch admiral by Hortensp , the daughter of Josephine , whose case in equity was thus at lait madeirood. Even in this direction , however , tbe line was stopped ; and there i * about n mu h like lihood of the sou of Piou PJon wearing the imperial purple as of the statue upon the Colome Vemiome descending from its elevation and taking the rem oJ pott er. The one titled race in JHrance moaner than the Bonapnrtes the Orleans family are in an equally poor way of recover ing their lost supremacv ; so that what ever may have been tbe past of French history , the future , under the republic , begins to wear a tolerably hopeful as pect. The only part " of tbe population who would , if "they could , restore mon archical government are the shopkeepers ers and the nymphs du pave of Paris , with whom prosperity and debauchery are more or less synonvmous terms. Tbe mass and the body of the people are re publicans. But , to return to the first Napoleon. He came to Paris when old things were passing away , and where , amid the uni versal shipwreck , great opportunities presented themselves to uncalculnting in trepidity. Oi this tbe young Corsicnn baa abundance. Throughout his entire career be showed an astounding lack both of reflection and forecast. He was daring and self-contodent , indefatigable and resolute , unprincipled and incon- considerate. That he was born a soldier there can be no doubt : but to the usual retinue of brilliant soldierly qualities , such as dbeiiio-.i and daFhmagneiisnj nnd enthusiasm , he united the genius of n discoverer , or an inventor. He had worked out of his inner consciousness a new theory in the science of field opera tions. All that was wanting to develop this was a command. The minister of war bad a mistress of whom he was tired. She was pretty and sprightlv. and Napoleon fell in love with her , and. being willing to marry her , got the army of Italy as her dower. The highway to fortune was ac cordingly opened to him , and by the ap plication of his original art of war vic tory was achieved ; he rose to Uie head of affairs : he c.-.ptnred the revolution ; he erected upon the afbes of tbe old mon archy an empire far eclipsinjr it in glory , sending the dissentions ot the national assembly and the horrors oi the reign of terror to the rear and bringing to the front a martial spirit which made the ixjople one again and bore down all be fore it. Bronze cannon roared : France , with redonoled might , Kelt her heart swell. And nil went well with the Bonaparte ? . At last , when peace had been won and war had been made , Napoleon found himself master of the world. He had created a new map of Europe ; he had supplanted many dynasties with a single family. Joseph was kinp in Spain , Louis was king in Holland , Jerome was king in Westphalia , a sister was queen here , a stepdaughter qut-en there , and the prin cipalities and dukedoms were filled with the tie-Id marshals and favorites of the wonderful little man. All this before lie HAS out of his Unrtitts. Mark the sequel , lour short lines suffice to tell it He fosrlit , and half the wc rid wns his ; lie died without a raod his own , Atid borrowed from his enemies H t foot ot ground to lie upon. And ttus , observe , not when he was old a'id inlirm , and had lost his brain-power , l.i Ttta ! energy and bis grip , but in the vricKof his manhood , let there are t'jjse who Mill persist in thinking that he was a great num. He was nothing of the kind He was a great specialist. As such his perform ances were aui&zing and his career is a s'udy. lint he had neither the forecast o v into the future , nor the wisdom tea a < 1r. ] > t luiuedf to circumstances , qualities t-.4 belong to tlw statesman's art.

Suec-w ' , . . . , in deed , is no * an indispeasible mark of greatness. There nave been many great men who did not suocf-cd during their own time. But the world produced one soldier , with Napolt-on must alwavs be compared , whos-e career furnish * * n very striking contrast to that of tne Cor ican , whose ashes repose in th > Hotel dcs Inva- lides. The con < jnesl he made and the obstacles he overcame were as great as those of Bonaparte. But he was never l eatei or overthrown. He lived to be sixty-lhrf-e years old , and died by the hards of assassins , leaving an imperial policv and dynasty to come alter him and to rule through age . He was both a warrior and a statesman , and two thou sand vesrs niter his death Iw remain * a familiar ligure to living men , and his name grows brighter as the waves of time pass over. There is no rule of measurement which tan be applied to Julius I Vsar nnd Napoleon leon Bonaparte which will not result to the disadvantage of the latter. The one was n king of men , the other was n des perate gamester. The one raised P.ome to the height of human grandeur ; the " other left France a prey to" human vul tures and sowed seeds whose evil growth may still be seen. Th grave of Cu-sar is unknown and unmarked , but two thou sand years hence the New Xealamler , who has sat upon a parapet of London bridge nnd surveyed the ruins of St Paul's cathedral , may lind something to interest and amuse him amonc the debris of the once famous citv of Paris , and , standing amid the excavations of this Hotel des Invnlides nnd beholding a few fragments of this noble monument , may ask. "And who was Napoleon Bonaparte' " Tlie philosophy of history , taking a hint from the practical wisdom of the linan tiers , w5ITrmirc.omelhlns ? more than an empty and broken series of brilliant performances of its immortals. "Any man can make money.

Superstitious Bu ine Jlen. New York Times : An observing Broad way = treet car conductor tells the odd way in which one passenger , a business man whom he brings down town every morning , deports himself. As soon as lie gets his seat he grabs two pins from his coat lapel and sticks oncinio the cushion on both sides of him He goes through the sam ; program every morning. If he gets into a car and has to stand he holds a pin in each hand. He does it for luck , so he himself esnlaineJ to the conductor. This man is an influential officer in one of the biggest corporations in New York , pnd everywhere he is regarded as a con servative intelligent man. "I have tried to break myself of this superstition for years , " he said to the conductor one day when he seemed to be in the mood tor conversation and he and tbe other conductor had the car to them selves for a long distance. "It is a silly practice , of course. I realize tnat ; yet somehow if I ever fail to have my two pins with me and don't come down town hedged in on each side , evervthing goes wronjr. I keep it up because I'm ner vous if I dont. " There are many men who will not ride np or down town except with the same conductor daily. Not that they love any special conductor particularly , but for the blind reason they believe luck at taches to regularity. One Broadway dry goods merchant al ways leaves a street car in which by any chance he may lind a red-haired woman or child , and he uniformly looks sharply for this sort of a hoodoo before he takes a seat. "ilid pleasures and palaces though we may roam be it ever so humble , , there' * no .specific for pain like bahation Oil- Price 20 cents a bottle.

Arkansas Traveler : During tbe recent Arkansas election a ballot-box was stolen from Bucksnort township , Bijrsby county. The county judfje , who , though an up right and able politician , discounten ances the nimble-finsrerfcd work of connt- inir out , or of stuffing a ballot receptacle until it puffs up like a Christmas turf.ev , took upon himself tbe true patriotism ol offering 109 reward for the box. A few days later an old fellow named Sam Blunt called on the judge. J "W'y , how air yer. Sam * Mon = trous I glad tn see yer. Set down au' make yrr- , self at home. Whut's. tbe news out on the i Fork * Yer wife's rheumatiz any bf-tter * . Hope yer boy 's got well. Sam without replying to any of the questions , said"Jedge , I hwrn uv jer proclamation tiither day , and ns needed money an" didn'i have nothin' else to do , I 'lowed I'd fetch that ballot-box an git the 100 reward. " The judge , in open-mouthed astonish roent , looked at Sam a moment and luen exclaimed- | "Is is possible yer haint got no mo' i sense'n tnatr My srracious , man. bate ver j'ined the republican ? * Confound ft , don't you know that I offered the reward - j ward for that box just for an imnngra- , lion .lodge * W'y ding it , ole feller koii't yer know that I could have pu my hands'on thit box the darkest night that ever come * Go take that box back , ! Sam. Git yer Jcffersonian doctrine down an * read her a few times an * yer'll J'arn sutliin. lotch in tbe box ! W'y Sam , I'm er great mind ter expose yer' " Electricity the Puturr Motive Power. San Francisco Chronicle. Electricity , according to modernresearcheA is bound to be the popular motive power of the future , and will revolutionize transport and juanufactiires where enormous power is not required. The sncctiss oi the Volka. tn making the voyage between Dover and Calais by means of electric power bus been confirmed bv more re cent experiments with the boat in the English channel , and now a further appli cation of its usefulness ha been made on the estate of the marquis of Salisbury , at Hatfield , by It. Shillito , the resident tJec trieian , a gramme machine being con nected in tne ordinal y war with a thresh- jn" ; macnine , and the generator I being driven by water power lialf a mile distant. The result is stated to be highly s-atisfanry in every respe-et , a very regular rajr 1 ! and noiseless power being obtained In"1 contrast to the ordinary steam engine. J with its demand for skilled attent'on ana constant supplies of water and fuel th" new rootiv power is most promis ng , and doubtlecs n great saying in cost can ultimately tx > eflected wherever the cin ouiustances fortbo supply of power rc favorable. Should a temporary stoppage ol tne machine be nweesary , n ingen ious arrangement hai been made where by the current from the lead can be turned from the gramme machine into , a ' cluster of electric lamps , so that a short break in tne optratious does not numui tale any communication with the source of power or stoppage of its regular work ing. and at the same lime gives warning to the men when the current is working At this rale of progress we shall have 'ra national electric Association * ' at Niagara lor the production of motive jwwer for ' tbe world at the very lowest estimates , so ! that it can become a household ncces.- A Paterson justice , aftur rcpeatin } ! tbe loriuulaof an oath to a young woman. endM as u-aul by suying ' KIS.S tbo book- ' ' * 'I will not.
