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.

is as-isUint superintendent thereof , lie
took a trip of inspection down'the Il
linois Central railroad the other day , and ,
noticing horseshoes over tbe doors of
every mail mar , lie inquired of tbe coys
what had moved them to the unanimous
adoption of this fitich He was- told that
two years ago last July a mail cli-rk on
the Chicago & Centntlia route over the
Illinois Central , was taken suddenly ill
in his car. 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.
It was announced yesterday afternoon
that William A Paxtou had changed his
mind and would cone-eat to run on the
democratic ticket.

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.

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

He fosrlit , and half the wc rid wns his ;

And ttus , observe , not when he was old

vricKof his manhood , let there are
t'jjse who Mill persist in thinking that

men who did not suocf-cd during their

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

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

cathedral , may lind something to interest

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.

A Gteat Mind to Kipose Him.
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

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

tbe world at the very lowest estimates , so !
that it can become a household ncces.-
