Ho has seen the town prow from the cradle to stalwart ami rigorous manhood , and has had no small portion in making it the Fitcecss It now is. After a long anil hon orable business career ho retired Trout the clothing business in 1SSG , Intending to spend the remainder of his days in cotniort. The unprecedented growth of Omaha dnriiiK the past few years had , however , rendered extremely valuable tract of land of which Mr. Calm had become pos sessed during his business life. Connect ing with himself his eldest son , Martin , and former book-keeper , Mr. A. C. Wool- lo.v , he opened a real estate ofllce. For this purpose ho purchased several large tracts ot valuable land , which , in addi tion to llioso ho formerly owned , gare the new firm at once the control of much of the choicest business and resident property in Omaha , In addition to the lots owned by ( ho linn , particular attention Is given to the sale of property placed with them lor this purpose. To this end they have se cured the agcney for much of the choic est building property in Omaha and vi cinity , which they will gladly show in tending purchasers and hell at reason able rates. Their outside property con sists ol many choice lots which they .will dispose ol reasonably and on easy terms , building for parlies who are unable to build themselves , and repaying them selves by small monthly pay ments. There is no moro hon orable or reliable linn in busi ness in Omaha than that whose name heads this article. And parties desiring to purchase or sell real estate may place the most ! mplieit reliance upon all repre sentations made by them , and rest assured that their Interusts will be as carefully and much moro intelligently looked after than would be the case provided they handled the property themselves. To evidence their faith in Omaha properly , Mr. Calm propose ? this year to erect a large even-slory stone and brick busi ness block on his lot at the corner of Fourteenth and Farnam streets , at a cost ofR.

The rapid Increase in values which will follow the advent of 18S7 will show the dealer where to make his investments. The above linn is one of the most reliable in Omaha , gentlemen of undoubted integrity , and tdl seeking safe speculation should at once consult with Mr. Hinger. Many tilings are said and many mill's are given for effect , but H. F. Ringer < & Co. are re liable and have a record second to none in the city. A great number of the most valuable lots in Omaha have lately been listed with this firm , and considering tlio fact that they have gained the confidence of every one with whom they have had any dealing is a sullieient promise of reliability. Messrs.

" 1 have been golnR to sec Mrs. Lo.'iui nearly every week , otti'ii four or live times a week , for years. When thry lived at Airs. Itmo's boarding hoiisa up on Twelfth street , It was the same way. JJtiitliero never was a mur mur from any member of the family , ppoplo who knew the senator and Mrs. Loiran anywhere - where went directly to their house and aiado it their homo while In thu city. Uelatlves , friends , all were treated the same. Some body visited them constantly. More old soldlors bcgited and received assistance ot the bcnator thnii of anybody else , llo never i el used to do something for them , llo would pcnd them down to the dining ronm If he did no more , and bade them eat. 1 remember when the senator first conceived the idua of buying a home not very many months auo. Mrs. Ijosan bnlil If ho wus re-ele.ted ho hoped to have n place they could call thulr own. Thev had little means to buy with , and they would Imve to go out In the sub- uibsvhcie property was cheap. She began to look around. For months she drove out In view of seeing her future home. Finally tme fiiiw the house they boutrht a largo , square , red brick two Ktorles , called "Cnlumi't Place , " alter tlio Calumet river , near by , 1 prcumc. It Is an old place , with a beautiful yard , at the foot of the hills at tlio northern boundary Mrs. Logan said that if she could live there she would be happy ; slio would have a breath- lug place and room for her visitors. Theio she could be free from the rattle of street cAis and the hum of voices. She wanted to get out from the city and see the sunshine , hoar the crows caw , the birds sing and enjoy the bicczc in the summer. Therosho thought she would bo divorced from the hum-drum of the city and would bind her inmlly and Its ties closer together. "And when finally they trot the house and moved Into it , how happy she was : just line a newly-married girl slio was. You could see her with n turbiin ou her head , with a bioom or brush In her hand , .sweeping , brushing , dusting and cleaning things m > , happy ns a lurk. 1 remember how gay she was , and how she built air-castles of John and herself - self , na old people , lotlred to nulet lite , as she used to say. For months she took pride In showing cvorybojy who called through tlie house , pointing out the convenient and Inter esting crannies , showing the heirlooms , pic- lures , etc. , and evidencing her happiness and Interest In her future. They had lived so long at hotels and boarding houses that it seemed like simply playing married Ufa for her. She used to tell me how she would have her llowers arranged In the yard , and how pretty the adjacent places were growing. "His no wonder to mo that Airs , hoiran , after recovering from her hysterics on Mon day morning , began to talk of her homo and the fear filie entertained of losing it. Often lias she spoken of the debt they owed on the house. It Seemed to annoy her greatly. She fe.ireil that home misfortune would come to lob her of the place , as , inext to the general and her chil- dien , It was her dream. Naturally she could not see ho\v the debt would now b ; > liqui dated , ami the thought of having to give up her home , and piobably retiio to Illinois , leaving the scenes of her happy and busy lift : and the landmarks of interest to IHT , came to her mind In all ol' her lucid moments niter the general's death. lJut she will , as she has been promised , bo provided for , and will con tinue to live here. But she will never ho happy again. The ceiieral was her lirst thought. Everything he did was to her eyes and mind peifeut. I.OOA.X .VXD DOL'OLAS , There is oue feature in the career of ( Jen- crnl Logan oE which but little notice was taken idurlng Ids' lifetime , niul which has boon scarcely noticed siuco his decease , al though during the few days which have elapsed since the telegraph Hashed the nnws of the death around the world volumes have been written and published in regard to Ids achievements In the field and In tlio sen ate.

Tlio other was .lohn A. Logan , then a comparatively young mini , tint who had already given many evi dences that ho was to play no secondary part in life. In tlio&iirlug nf IsfU fhe situation in Illi nois was rather peculiar. The southern half the more populous part of the state had bivn originally settled by emigrants I'rinn Maryland , Virginia , Xoith Carolina , Ton- ne.ssico and Kentucky. Thus-o ciiilu'rauts weie i ro-.slavory democrats to tlio backbone , and all their conjectures led them to look with kindly eye upon tin ; cITorts upon the blnvo oligarchy to overthrow the union and establish a republic , the corner-slono ot which , piundoxieal as it may seem , was human slavery. If any popular , ardent young man like I.OJMIU had at thl.s crisis sprang to the trout in favor of .sccos.iluu , tliero is no doubt but thut ho could have led thousands of young pro-slavury democrats Into the lebcl camp , ami the roinlorccmculs thus secured might hive pre vented the tall ot UouelsDii and Ylcksburg , and might have turned thu lido of war in the west entirely in favor ot the confederacy.

[ Correspondence ot the IJnu. ] About once in three months , somebody writes about tlio Hohomia Hint nourished in New York twenty-live years nfio and had its headquarters at I'fafPs. In must of those accounts , the frequent ers of Waff's are represented as geniuses of the lirsl water , authors , artists anil actors , all brilliant , careless and gor geously profligate , spending much money for champagne , worshipping Ada Clare as the queen of Bohemia , and living in an ultra-unconventional style generally. Fit/-James O'liricn , George Arnold , Wil liam Winter , Artcmus Ward , Charles Gaylor and a dozen others are usually mentioned in those stories as members of tlio liohemian baud. In a play now run ning at one of the New Voric theaters , an utteli'pt ' is made to depict this sort of liohcmla in the present day. in the stage scene a lot of dissolute authors and actresses live together in llio most promiscuous manner , and behave with ama/.ing freedom. Their house seems to be open at all hours of the day timl night , and the men come in , sit down at a table , and got drunk on wine provided by the " hostess to all callers. \Villlain"Win- \ - tor , the poet and dramatic critic , wrote that the depiction was a careaitnrc. As he is a survivor of the old Pfatf party.Mr. Winter was asked by your correspondent to tell the exact truth ou the subject , lie did so , under a pledge of non-publication at first , but his reluctancy to let his ac count be printed is here overbalanced , and the lirst authentic description of the old Bohemia is given , lie said ; All these stories about the lloliemia of Now York of twenty-live years ago are foolish tales. The whole thing has been given an importance that it never merited. It was in reality trivial , and of no real moment , but ii has bepn'oxaggor- ated and embellished and written about until one would suppose that the people who met at Pfall's were geniuses like the French encyclopedists , which is very far from the truth. Had they been such men , ijeould readily understand why their gatherings would bo worth remem bering , reminiscences of their doings and manner of life interesting , but when it comes to men like well , never mind names it is ridiculous to write them up in that style. The sim ple truth is that a number of young and middle aged men , who earn meagre livings with their pen. ' , met occasionally and accidentally , and had no idea that they were doing anything remarkable in taking a few glasses of beer together. Among them was a man named Clapp , who had been a Sunday school superin tendent in I'oston , and a pteachcr , per haps , too. Somehow or other he had drifted'oul of that lile and started in New York a paper on the Irishman's plan of , 'wherever you see a head , hit it. ' He had bonyant spirits , a nimble wit and a ready pen , and made n bright , auda cious pa'ifc'r. Of course lie attracted the promising young writers who had matter to sell. Clapp didn't make money very rapidly , and ho was obliged to spend it economically , lie discovered 1'lall' , n German who had obtained a barrel of benr ami started a saloon and small res taurant , and he went there for his meals. Very soon a number of us commenced going to Pfall's for the very good reason that wo could get a dinner there for a quailor , and we were all poor and obliged to live cheaply. That was all the club of lioliomiuns amounted to , and now we are represented as having lived in the most reckless style , earning great sums and squandering them with 'most prodigal liberality. As n matter of fict , most of us were dependent upon what we. could get for occa sional articles on various papers. and those who weie supposed to have regular salaries seldom got ilium , A man who depended upon the newspapers for a living then had to work hard for small pay , and he couldn't be much of a Bohemian in the generally accepted ense. Jn those days 1 endured a great dec. ! of privation and hardship and disap pointment. Friends in my old home got the notion that I was living In brilliant prolligacy , a sort of Sardanapalns , and were much grieved : and when I heard that , and thought of my i ! , " > cent dinners , it made me just bitter enough to tell them they were quite correct , Bohemia , indeed ! "Tho very word makes mo ill. Many a time when 1 was supposed to bu gorgeously revelling with gay and brill iant company , 1 dined on a sandwich and a cup of tea , because 1 hadn't inonev enough lo get anything else. "There were somn bright youngfellows among those who met at PfalV's , and per haps the moil worthy of ivmonihranco was Fit/-iJami's O'Brien. When the cir cumstances under which he did Ids work are considered , the results seem remark able. AN hen all the money wa- > gone , and.he didn't know whom ho was to get tho'ncNt meal , or where he was to sleep , ho would g < > to work and write. Many a time have I put food in his way without saying anything , hoping ho would take some , but be never would touch it. He would ail down and write something for Harpur'H , who thought a great deal of him , and would buy almost anything hn brought to tlicm.got his money for it , and then live like a prince. Ho would array himself in line clothing , in dulge In the best of dinners and never seem to realize I hat the money would not last forever. Not a stroke of work would hn do while his money lasted. But I will do O'Brien the justice to say that he never wuiit to PfufT's when he had niniiuy enough to got a dinner elsewhere. Ho preferred Jolmonicos ) to Bohemia. O'Brion wasoiie of thu few WIOMI ! talents and achievements entitle them lo remem brance. George Arnold was one of those with whov ) memory the scribblers about Bohemia have taken strange liberties. Arnold had a 1)1 ill ) ' , handsome counto- luncu like a sailor lad's , and would have been taken for a dirvil-inay-onro follow , but I never know a mores methodical exact man. Ho didn't live in smyfreo and easy actress establishment , but in a plain boarding hoiibo , and lie paid his board , too , with scrupuloin promptness. He was exact to the point ot being liuicky in all financial matter ? , and in ins dealings - ings with men , and not at all thu happy- go-lucky chap some people have do- ' scribed. Probably ho was just the op posite , in his mode of life , of most mum- born of Young Men's Christum nkaouia- tions , but a moro honorable , manly fellow never lived , and beneath his cynical ex terior was a sterling nature. Among all whom I recall to mind , these was but ono genuine Bohemian , a mnu who didn't work and was determined not to work , and get a good living out of the world MJinuwhoro , Ho was a pleasant , bright fellow and good company. Ho died a pauper at Blackwcll's Island , and was buried in the potter's field. Just before ho died ho received a tetter from a friend containing a two dollar bill. Calling ono of thu hospital attendant * he passed the bill .to him and told him to go out and get somu whisky Ho was a Bohemian "Poor old Clap" found that brightness wouldn't keep alive a paper that was devoted to sneering at the world , at re ligion , the home , and everything that makes society possible , and he "linally wont down In ) ' very fast. 1 have seen him standing in front of Dclmonico's holding out his hat for pen nies actually reduced to beggary. That is Bohemia. Clapp. 1 think , was a little uiiMMind of mind. Ho had singular notions about reforming society , and I remember that friendly relations between us Were suspended because I refused lo subscribe to his cranky theories , and clung to some aneienl prejudices in favor of paying bills s.nd fulluling other duties , \ethohada nimble brain and a faculty for saying the unexpected that made people read his paper long after they ceased to have any sympathy with its course. The journal died once before its I'mal disappearance , and when Clnpp revived it , he said in his announcement : 'This paper was suspended two years ago for lack of funds. It is started again for the same reason/ "Several others beside Clupp , whom I could name , became mcro wrecks and died in miserable poverty. Bohemia was no glittering fairy land for them. A few who came to PfalV's were well-to-do young men , with more or less taste for literary work. One was in an insurance olllce , and was comparatively wealthy. He had more clothed than any other human being I ever know , no matter how wealthy , and was quite a dandy. He used to come down and read hU poetry at the crowd , and he was so ut terly innocent that ho was mimed 'Daisy. ' Another was the son of a wealthy 1'hiladelpliian , and wrote good verses. llo was a student here , and when bin studies were linished he went home. But lhc _ majority of us were s-truggliug writers and we worked as hard as "wood sawyers. All the glamour of those il ys has been put on since by people who don't know what they are talking about. And , by the. way , a very remarkable fea ture of the everlasting writing up of this crowd is the number of persons who turn up with personal recollections and say they were of the number. They would make a procession from Canal street to Union Square , and strange to say I never saw one of them at PuilV's. . Why the thing should be written up at all , as Bohumianismis beyond my com prehension. And poor Ada'L'lare ? How they have desecrated her memory. She came into PfalV's once or twice from the theatre , and remained a few minutes , just for the fun of doing something un conventional. It was really nothing but a foolish freak , yet upon that basis what romantic stories have been founded. Ada Clare was unfortunate , but she was a noble-hearted women , and there was in her nature something humanly true and generous that commanded respect. She was the daughter of a wealthy southerner , and ono summer he brought her to Saratoga to see the world. She saw too much of llio world and Louis Gottselialk , the piano player. That was her ruin. Her father died and left her a fortune of $25,000 quite a sum in those days and she bought a house up on Forty-second street , where she lived for some time. She was a bright woman and tried writ ing and acting. While on the stage she won the love of a young actor , who asked her to marry him , and she sought the ad vice of a friend and was counseled to tell the young man the whole story of her " life. She did so and he married her. At the house on Forty-second .street Ada re ceived her friends Sunday evenings. Writers , aelor > , artists , people who trav eled about and were well known in the world railed at such times , passed the evening socially and informally , and left early or late as they " ' pleaded , if not too late. "If a few friend's remained until 10 or 11 o'clock , they wore invited to join in a lunch and per haps n glass of beer. That was all thu revelry indulged in. Chiimpngno sup pers were not known in thai quarter of Bohemia , and tint receptions wore not in the least like Camillo's , or like the scene in 'Tangled Live * . ' Poor Ada died ol hydrophobia , and of course that was made the excuse for raking up her his tory and fabricating stones about her. Her husband lost all heart after her death , and not long afterward ho was found drowned in Harlem river. Acci dent , they said , but I think he let himself go down. "Out of this material have they built the imaginary Bohemia of New York , and of these people have they made the brilliant assemblages of wits and goniuses. It is no such material as Edmund Yates had in liisgatherings of men like Douglass Gerald , Thackeray and bis associates , men of real genius and brilliant wit , whose club meetings were memorable , and yet Yates has not made as mr.cli of his material as the scribblers about Bo hemia would make out of the accidental meetings in a cheap restaurant of a Jew rather bright chaps engaged in making their living out of Xcw York newspapers. They aspired to know lite and be men of the world , and doubtless they were very old- manni.sh in those days. But all that sort of thing becomes improssibly trivial when you get into it , and you come to detest the very name und all the accompani ments to Bolicmianlsm. 1 don't want to .say anything unkind about the play now purporting to represent the lives of authors and artists in Now York , but where the plnyright got tlio idea of such a state of things as ho depicts heaven only knows. 1 know it never existed in New York.

He was a man who was very impulsive in his actions , as is shown by the following : One day while ' out duck'-shooting he was accompanied by a favorite dog. Another hunter was on the opposite t > ldn of the plreum , and as the ducks which he shot fell into the water , Dr. Acklov's dog would swim in and get them. ' 1 lie man objoeto.l to this , but Ackley told thu man ho could have nil the duck.s retrieved by the dog. The man answered that should the dog retrieve another duck he would shoot him. Ackloy re plied if tlio man shot the dog ho would shoot the man. Another duck was shot , and in sprung tin1 dog , and was UN promptly shot. Ackley reciprocated by lilling the man full of shot trom his fowl- ing-piocu , after which ho immediately left the scene and upturned rapidly to the city , Some time later a man caino into tin * olllcu complaining that some onu had lilled him full of bird-shot.
