Among the recent visitors to Lincoln
came Ell Perkins , nnd during his brief
Rtop in the city he recited to thoHr.K man
the cause of Ills visit al this particular
lime. Ull cnmu to Lincoln from the vil
lage of Cotirtlaml , where ho held forth In
n lecture on Saturday evening. From Ins
brief resting time In Lincoln he departed
for St. Joe , where ho was booked to
punish n n audience last over-ing. Mi' .
Perkins' recital of his treatment when he
lectured in Lincoln was almost pathi-tut ,
and his stopping In the city on tills occa
sion was to start the legal mill in motion
in his own Individual interests. Accord
ing to Ills reoltal hu was engaged to lec
ture In Lincoln two or three years ago by
some temperance society , managed by
A K. Sibley , n local Independent Order
of Good Templars worker of some fame
and standing. Perkins came to the city ,
found hiauity to a hotel unit lectured as
per contract , returned to the hotel und ,
In his own language , patiently wailed
until the next day al 2 o'clock for
Slbluy to come around and pay him
his $75 fee. When that hour arrived ho
went forth ami hunted up Mr. Sibley and
nsked for his funds , and received the an
swer that there were none to pay him
with , and that the door receipts had been
in other ways used up. Uli then took
Sibloy'B note for the $75 nnd left it at the
Capital National bank , where , ho states ,
it has slumbered ever .since. While in the
city ho gave Atlornoy Cornish an order
ou the bank for the note , and ordered
him to sue Hat once , and then if Sibley
did not pay it to commence "supplement *
ary proceedings ; " wherefore it is evident ,
that there is to he n law suit to disturb
the present ennui , and with the wander *
ing minstrel or lyre as complainant and
Iho ex-head of the temperance or anl/i- :
Uon in the defense. If u defense is made
ut all it ought to make a case of interest
that might develop two facts : the re
sponsibility of Sibley to pay and possibly
the worth of ono of Perkins' lectures to
thu common public.

STATK PKINTING.
The board of state printing have for
warded advertisements to a number of
papers in the state asking for bids for tlie
printing of the biennial reports of tlio
state oliicers nnd for printing the house
rolls and senate Hies for the coming ses
sion of the legislature. Thn bids will bo
received aud the awards made the com

printing the reports of the state oflicors
wore ( is follows : Secretary of state's
$377 , auditor's $408. commissioner of
lands and buildings , 13111. state superin-
tondents's $550 , and the bills for printing
house rolls nnd satiate files an printed by
the State Journal wore for the house
rolls , $1,018.25 , nnd for the senate dies ,
$1,274. In making up the proposals tor
bids the board of printing have attempted
to no arrange it that smaller olllces in thn

Harper's Bazar : Stationers toll us that
no sooner does one style of note paper
become acceptable to the politer world
than it is HO eagerly seized upon by every
body else that the politer people , so
called , refuse to use it any longer , and
a new style has to . be invented for their
taste , which is is so continually relining
on its previous use. TJms heavy cream

one's pet paner to the cook one meivly
made an exchange and took hers. In
short , it is almost unnosbiblu to keep pace
with the changes in note paper if
one cares to follow tlio extreme fashion ;
and meanwhile these odd and eccentric
fancies brought into vogue , notably of
Iho rough-edged and coarse brown na-
pers , can hardly be called in good taste
for anybody. Would it not be a plan
worth thinking of for every lady at the
outset of a note-writing career to choose
her own paper and to adhere to it , as
siinipnlonsly as might bo convenient ,
through life ? Then the fashion might
change all it would , it could bring w
change- lier.no trouble , no uncertainty ;
she would be always in fashion , being
always a law to herself. Her note-paper
would be as much her own as her eyes or

hour. The senator's portrait as a young
confederate lieutenant hung on the wall
over Sheridan's head as h < j conversed

talked little politics , but expressed grati
fication at the result of the recent elec
tion in Virginia , as indicative of the
growth of the tariff idea , especially in
tills once strongly democratic section of
Iho state. After a serenade from a local
band , organized without regard to poli
tics , the two gentlemen were called upon
by prominent siti/.ens. This morning
they went down the valley , ( ionoral

It is enough , for there is little in the In

the winter winds to sigh through and
whistle in ; the very npollicosis of chil
monotony and ghastly loneliness. Hut
the Prussian lakes , canals and sluggish
streams gradually disappear , and as the

irely paled from the western sky. The

Your traveling companion from Her-
in tolls you to beware ol the Saxons ,

of the people nearer to tlio Haltic. Pro
ceeding southward , the Saxon tells you
'o beware of the Hohemians. They arc

lie capital of Bohemia , you hear that the
Austrians proper that is , the German
lortion of the Austrian nation , are no

Hungarians are detestable. At Agram
the Croat informs von . .hathis - compa

ot have to wait long to be told that the
bond of good-will that binds the Italian

tion. The Havarians care littio for the
north Gentians. They .sympathise more
laturilly with tiie Austriaim , to whom
; hev are more nearly akin by race. ' 1 ho
Hamburgers dislike Hismarek heartily ,
imd care little for the Prussians , the com-
nercial instinct being here an important
.mint of difference. And all these anti
pathies are among people closely united
by bonds of race , culture , politics , and
common inton"-t. Passing neyrmd these
' .Units , the international dislikes of the
eople of Europe become genuine hatreds
which mutual jealousy and rivalry con
stantly aggregate and intensify.
A uisoirr : or TIM : INUI.ISH.
Dresden is one of the cities greatly af
fected by the English , who hayo a some
what remarkable habit of considering
their own country , their own climate and
their own society the most perfect in the
world , and yet of passing thejr time at n
distance from these multiplied advant
ages. They lloek to Hrnssels. They tie
their besit to Ijll the empty hotels of Os-
tend in the winter , though it would bo
haul to imagine a bleaker place than
this wind and storm-swept coast during
the cold season. The sporting instinct
takes them to Nice and Mcntonn , and
reasons of health to dilluroht points of
the Hiveira. In the MHith of Europe the
English are usually mere birds ol passage -
sago , though there arc some who pass so
many successive seasons and so large a
part of each here that they may be
almost considered permanent residents.
Of these Cannes , first made known to the
English world by Lord Urougham , has a
goodly number. Switzerland knows the
English will , as do also numerous charm
ing localities along the northern and western
torn coast of Franco. They might lind
many worse places of permanent abode
in Europe than Dresden , which lias a not
disagreeable climate in the summer , a
literary and artistic atmosphere , and
cheap living , which is. especially with
continental Hritish residents , a desidera
tum. For this last object English families
with a small fixed income exile them
selves often to undesirable places. The
advantages , besides the cheap living , are
usually the means of education , which in
cludes the easy and natural acquisition of
the language of the country and perhaps
of other tongues , a matter of consider
able importance to families with numer
ous younger members.

Dresden is often called the city of rococo
eco , a reputation now duo principally to
its somewhatgaiidy porcelain , which has ,
however , somewhat improved in taste
since its mention 175 years ago. The era
called rococo , preceded and included
thin date , and the "Dresden china , "so
called , has never entirely recovcrei
from its inlluenco. In fact , it scums to
bo doing what it can to perpetuate it , for
in looking in tlio shop windows and re
marking the great variety of articles in
porcelain which are exposed for sale one
is constantly reminded of the old palaces
in Franco and the queer taste exhibited
in those built by the great Frederic at
Potsdam. Mills is not to say that there

KKi.ics OK Tin : MIDPLI : AOT.S.
The Dresden museums , like several
others in Germany , have unique points of
nterest as illustrating the middle ages ,
ind the two centuries previous to this.
I'erhaps there is no one thing that inter
ests tlio student of history more than
inns and armor , they are so closely
identified with the horrors of past stormy
epochs. Those of Munich and Dresden
ire in some respects tlio most curious in
tinropo. There are numberless suits of
Dcautiful old armor , and an abundance
of obsolete weapons , which fills one with
respect for medieval mechanics , and of
those who down to the time when the use
of gunpowder rendered such means of
defense useless. What a multitude of
lliese smiths must have fol
lowed the armies of kings in these
Ironblous times , and what a glimmer of
forces and a noise of hammers closing
rivets up must have preceded every day ot
battle. There were sons ot Anale in the
limes when the tournament was in fash
ion , a shown by the huge lances , like
mall logs of wood , that are to bo seen in
the Droden museum. It required
something moro than the physical
strength of men nowadays Jo wield them.
To satisfy curiosity on this point , two
knights 'in full armor are shown on
lior.soback with lances in rest in the act of
tilting. It is remarked fortunately that
their helmets have the strength of the
plating of a modern iron-clad , that their
armor is so shaped as to give the oppos
ing lance every eliante to be turned aside ,
while the knight is attached to the sad
dle and the saddle to the horse by bonds
that it would seem impossible to break.
OTIIKI : critios.
There are also museums of ntamps , of
porcelain and "of the industrial arts.
' .Vhen shall we have a museum in Amer
ica worthy of the name ? The material
for making it is becoming scarce. It
would be hard to find a dozen suits of ar
mor unappropriated by some one of the
European museums. Of the old masters
not one good specimen. Of "ancient
sculpture there remains a good deal not
yet disinterred which American ministers
or consuls might get hold of if they were
furnished the means , or which American
capital might acquire if it were disposed.
A great deal of material might Mill bo
found in old nooks and corners of
Europe. Hut there is no lime to bo lost.
Tlio spirit of endowment in America is
mistaking its aim. Money should bo
given now in the United States not for
ordinary schools and colleges , of which
"
there is no lack , but for the "development
and cultivation of architecture , painting ,
and for the establishment of those
branches of industry which nro closely
ailied to special culture and the refine
ment of the national tasto.
AN ATTKACTIVB CITV.
Travelers solflom stop in Saxony except
to see the treasures of art contained in
the museums of Dresden or to visit the
Saxon Alps , which are interesting with
out having the charms of Tyrol. Yet a
visit is not without many agreeabl" fea
tures. The city is in itself attractive.
The hotels are lis good as are to bo found
in North Germany , which is not exces
sive praise ; there is no lack of cafes for
those who finil that form of existence
attractive , good beer can bo had by the u
who cannot live without it , and the Elbe
flowing switly between Us walls of solid
masonry furnishes in summer cool and
sightlv" promenades , A view up and
down'tho river at night , with its hand
some and well lighted bridges , the bril
liantly illuminated cafes and beer gar
dens ranged along the banks and looking
down steeply into the waters , its crowds
of promcmulers , its boats moving hither
and thither and the music of bands from
tlio most popular places of icsort , is one
of the handsomest in Europe ,
UNCOJirOUTAlILK lfKI)3.
At the hotels the table is generally hotter
tor than the rooms and beds. There is
not a good bed in North Germany , nn
loss in some family of extraordinary re
linemont , or in the house of Mine for
eigner and made for his especial use.
The German bed seems to have taken for
its model the traditionary military bed of
the ancient rulers of ISrandcnburg. It
repels the intending occupancy by its
narrowness. When ho has placed
his weary form upon it ho becomes sud
dimly conscious of thn proximity of nn
yielding material ai l of hard pro
