company laid out the new town of Cairo , six

plat recorded according to law nnd demanded

among the archives of the county for teady

and alleys to tlio public the papers neces

No inc < iimlity of position or circumstances -
stances will induce a native of any of the
noi'thorn states to submit to being dealt
with in tlio manner or spoken to in the
tone which , in England , the man in
broadcloth thorn frequently adopts ai a
matter of course toward the man in
fitritinn. Tlio late Sydney ( iodolpliln
Oiborno used to relate how , once , a re
spectable artban said to liimt " 1 like you ,
my lord ; there is nothing of the gentle
man about you. " The meaning of the
speaker was > undoubtedly that Loid
Oaborno did not treat him in tliu patron ,
i/.ing manner that members of the higher
class usually address those whom they
regard as their social inferiors. Now , no
one perhaps has a keener appreciation of
the advantages of wealth and education
than the American , but that the possessor
of them should feel himself justified in
using toward the man who lucks thtso I
adventitious gifts the language of a su
perior to an inferior is what ho can not
understand , and which he will not for
ono moment put up with.
An anecdote Thackeray used to relate
of an experience of Ills when in the
United States well illustrates this trait of
the people. While in Now Xprk ho ex
pressed to a friend a desire to sco som
of the "Uowcry Uhoys , " who , he Imd
heard , wore of a class of the community
peculiar to that city. So one. evening he
was tak u lo the Uowcry , und ho | was
shown a "bhoy. " The young man , the
business of the day being over , had
changed his attiro. llo wore a dress coat ,
blnck trousers and n satin waistcoat ,
whilst n tall hat rested on tlm back of his
head , which was adorned with long , well-
greased hair known "as "sonp-locks" a
style which the rowdies of that day af
fected. The youth was loaning against
a lamp-post , smoking an enormous cignr ,
and Ins 'whole aspect was ono of in-
cflaulo self-satisfaction. The eminent
novelist , after contemplating him for
a few moments with silt nt admiration ,
snid to the gentleman by whom ho was
accompanied : "This 1 ? .1 great and gor
geous creaturol" adding : "Can I speak
to him without his Inking ofTonsct"
Receiving an answer in the allirmativo ,
Thackeray went tip to the fellow , on the
pretext of asking his way , and said : "My
good man , 1 want to go to uroomo
street. "
Unt the unlucky phraso. "Mv good
man , " roused the gall of the individual
spoken to. Instead , therefore , of nflbrd-
ing the information sought , the "Ulioy , "
n diminutive specimen of humanity ,
scarcely live feet in height C3'oing the
tall form of his interlocutor asUancc , an
swered the query ni the sense that his per
mission had boon asked for the sneaker
to visit the localitj' in question , and ho
said , patronizingly : "Well , sonny , ycr kin
go thar. "
When Thackeray snbseqnrntly related
the incident , ho laughingly declared that
he was so dl cnnrortcd uv the unexpected
response that lit ) Imd not" the courage to
continue the dialogue.
An lUmttis of Quacks.
( litMoa A'CIM.
Iowa lias long been noted as the hottest ,
coldest , and healthiest state in the union ,
and now it is ptr3bablo that her health
will Improve to' such a degree that un
dertakers , tombstone builders , nnd drug
gists wiU generally go into bankruptcy ,
and cemetery lots may bo obtained , In
eligible positions , by the most indigent.
All of this is to bo brought about by
the now law , which wont into effect on
the first of the year and regulates the
practice of medicine lo tl\c \ extent of in
continently liring all quacks out of tlio
slate who insist upon playing at physic
without the proper credentials. Persons
who can produce diplomas from medical
schools of good standing , ami those who
have been in continuous practice for live
years , are entitled to cortilicatca which
permit them to remain. Others are sat
upon by the ponderous law unless thsy
"git , " nnd per consequence there has
been a hcgira. The long procession is
headed west , and Kansas and other states
out that way which have no similar law
will get the result , which will siiow up
shortly in the mortuary reports.
Magnetic healers , however , nrji ex
empt , ns they do not administer drtigs or
use instruments , and arc , theroforc.harm-
less. They are allowed to rjib people
until the skin comes oil' if the patients
arc willing , provided that they show
that they have been rubbing for the nec
essary live years.
The law is a delight to tlio regular doc
tors , as it gives them moro to do , but the
chances are that when the facts get
heralded abroad young men with sheep
skins of the M. D. pattern will crowd in
to such an extent that Iowa's" population
will be doubled by doctors alone , and the
people killed by them will hardly bo
missed.

House of Liorrts and the Millionaires.
Kcw YuiJt H'oiW.
The United States senate is no longer
a body of statesmen and orators. It has
pabsed largely into the hands of million
aires and monopolists. Many of its seats
are purchased and much of its patriotism
is purchasable. It studies the interests of
corporations before the interests of the
country.
John Sherman , who presides over the
senate.is a congress-made Crousus. Stan
ford of California , Palmer of Michigan ,
Sawyer of Wisconsin. Jones of Nevada ,
Payne of Olfio. Dolph and Mitchell of
Oregon , Cameron of Pennsylvania.
Cheney of New Ilampshire.and Brown of
Georgia remain in their seats alter March
4 next. Sabin of Minnesota , a million
aire when elected , has met with reverses ,
but is .still rich , and is heart and soul with
the corporations. While these senators
have large wealth , what is their worth as
legislators ? What interests have they in
common with the millions ?
To these will be added or conlinued
after March 4 "Silver" Stewart , Nevada ;
IlearstCaiforniaStockbridgoMiehigau ] ; ;
Fnnvell , Illinois ; QuaVt Pennsylvania ;
Camdcn , West Virginia.
Will not all these senators in tlio next
congress represent a plutocracy rather
than the people ? Does not the election
of most of them , if not of all , prove that
the cashbox is supreme over the ballot-
box ? Which , one of them can bo looked
upon as a successor to Webster , Clay ,
Calhoun , Summer , Seward , Denton ,
Trumbull , Wade , Morton , Conk-line ; or
any of the great statesmen or orators of
the past ? _
A Novel Way of Identifying Prisoners.
There is n law in San Francisco aimed
especially at the Chinese , requiring that
sleeping appartmenls shall contain fiOO
cubic foot of pure air to each occupant.
Recently , two San Francisco police
olliccrs made raids on two lodging houses
in the Chinp'jo quarter , and arrested
forty-seven violators of the law. As a
matter or precaution , so that he might
bo able to identify tlm prisoners wiicn
they came into court , one of tlio ollicers
marked each with a small sign written
with an aniline pencil. When the de
fendants were brought before the judge
thev were represented by counsel , who
declared that , as a separate complaint
had boon Hied against each party accused ,
each would have to bo tried Miparately.
Tlio first ono called up was found guilty.
ho having been identilied by the small
marl : on his neck. In the language of
the day , the other defendants "got on the
mark business , " and in a few minutes
forty-six Chinamen wcro eacli observed
wettintr the tip of the right index linger
with saliva ami rubbing the spot where
tlm marie had been. Two moro of the
defendants were called for trial , and each
had Itt bo discharged , as the olliecr was
unablu to lind the identification marks.
The cases of the others wore postponed.

The most Haltering testimonial over
Riven any real cstnto man is that
Riven toV. . G. Albright of this city , who ,
when ho started out last August to
"boom" the then dead nnd sleepy South
Omaha with his "Anno * , " wns generally
regarded as a visionary , bets being freely
offered that lie would not realize enough
out of the property to pay for tlie adver
tising.
Times have changed I And most won *
dorfully have they changed I The very
men who only live months ago then
spoke disparagingly about property in
South Omaha are now following in tlm
footsteps of the man by whoso energy
the land in that town ( before its incorpor
ation was assured ) was given a value ,
since when the tremendous boom had
sot in nnd now there nro n
n countless number of additions , "just
placed upon thn market , " eaeh of them
the "best and cheapest , " and most
"beautifully located" on hills and in
magnilieetit undulating slopes. There islets
lots of "Ijeauly and Sunshine" in thesa
advertisements , and n great deal of
"moonshine. " Hut it is with real estate
purchasers as with lovers they cannot
live on moonshine.
Advantages commercial advantages-
combined with natural beauty. J'luiso
are the things that go to make South
Omaha properly valuable , but the ad
vantages have hitherto not been elabo
rated upon , except by Mr. Albright , who
justly claims the following for his
"choice' " It lies on both sides of the
main hue of the Union Pacific H. U.
2. It lies on both sides of the Helloviow
road , the most traveled county road into
Omaha.
8. It lies opposite the "Annex. " 'J Ifcso
lots are worth $ 100 to $800.
i. It is more beautiful than nny other
property in tlio vicinity.
5. Thcro are Kouth , east , west and
north points , every lot beautiful , allbrd

( i. The lots are larger than generally
laid out.
7. There are business as well as resi
dence lots.
8. There will bo several mighty rail
roads , besides the Union Pncillc travers
ing and contiguous to Albright's choice ? .
U. Thcro are largo tracts reserved for
most important industrial purposes Im
mediately adjoining Albright's Choice ,
and within n stone's throw from it , which
will make tlio location of tlie "Choice"
the center of South Omaha.
10. The desperate efforts to get people
to go North and West only prove the
value of Albright's Choice.
11. It can be proved that more money
was made tn the vicinity of Albright's
Choice than anywhere clso in South
