J. K. HOIHC , of Oiiialm , nrrlvud here
jVCiturduy in cltargo of u corps of on-
UliiL-crs , tlic intent of whom was thu stir-
voyitif ? ot tin ) bull line whiuh 19 intended
to encircle tills city. Tlio first work of
thu survey will be toward * U'ust I < incoln ,
nnd just as .soon as this is completed the
work will bo axtumlcd much farther.
' 1 he idea of a belt line is having un cll'ect
oiiil ( | : to that produced several years ago
in Omaha , when a project of this kind
was undertaken , especially when it was
put under way. Like that undertaking ,
uiso , this it It thought Is fraught with
importance which c.uinot now bu ill-
viand.
HASTi : TO THE IMIINTEK.
Mr Cook , assistant chief clerk of the
late houto of representatives , says that he
uxpoets to have his record of the proceed
ings of that body ready in about thirty
days. Ho is ol the opinion that
thu printer ought to bu able to
liavu the same in print in about tlio
batnu timn. Mr. Scaly , chief clerk of the
honate , IhiiiKs he will be able to surren
der his copy to tlio typo oven in a shorter
Kpace , though to do so will require the
umploymont of an extra force of assist
ants. If the intent of these gentle
men should be carried out and HID board
of public printing sustain It by requiring
immediate attention on the part of the
1 > ( inter to whom the work shall be let it
will result in expediting the undertaking
in a most .salisfactor y manner. It would
contrast most unfavorably with that of
lust session when eight months elapsed
lirforo the records reached the printer ,
nnd twelve months more were consumed
lieforo the volume appeared Tlio book
then contained over 1,000 pages. This
year it will scarcely contain less than
W.UOO.
VOl'CHKHS KOK KXIT.N'.SK.
The board of public land and buildings
mot yesterday and hold a pretty lengthy
Bession , but transacted no business be-
youd passing upon vouchers amounting
to $20,000 , the expense of running a num
ber of tlio stale institutions for the month
of March. This evening the board will
liold another meeting , at which it is
thought action upon more important
matters will bo taken.
STOCK COMMISSION.
Under tlio revised law regarding the
fdock sanitary commission , which author-
i/.e.-i the governor to appoint four agents
to have charge of the sanitary condition
of animals , his excellency hai employed
for the present , James C. Dirnoy , of
Crete , George NY. liarnlmrt. of Colum
bus , and W.V. . Abbey , of Falls City , in
place of 1) . 1) . .Johnson , of thu old com
mission , resigned.
SICK OENIUSE3.
The present season seems | p have been
particularly severe upon tho' newspaper
fraternity. To say nothing of several of
the members of the different stafl's who
have kept within doors at different times
during the winter , there are now three
of the capital city scribes under the
weather. These are Messrs. Calhoun of
the Democrat who will bo con lined to his
house for a week ; Samuel Cox , corns-
ppondcnt of the llorald , who was denied
the pleasure of anathematizing thu clou-
Sng hours of thu legislature , and Mr.
lushnull , the capital representative of
the BEE , wno is now at length recover
ing from a sovcro attack of fover. It is
needless to say that during the illness of
jHieso gentlemen the journalism of this
cityhas missed a number of its redeeming
features.

( OPERA.
Julius Meyer , of Omaha , was in town
yesterday making arrangements for the
utouraion of Linoolnitcs to Omaha on
Monday and Tuesday next to attend the
Croat operatic festival. This enterprise
lias aroused unwonted enthusiasm on the
part of the leading amusement patrons
uf this city , with the result that already
over ouo hundred people htivo signiticd
their intent of being present. It is ox-
iiecied that before Saturday night more
than double this number \yill have made
'lirnui umi3nts to attend. Thu programme
nnnounced for Monday night is ' 'Ifausl. "

A Lucky Mnn.
"A lucky mnn is rarer than a white
row , " says Juvenal , and we think he
knew. However , we have heard of thou
sands of lucky ones and we propose to
let their secret out. They were people
broken down in health , siill'eriug with
liver , blood and skin diseases , scrof
ula , dropsy , nnd consumption , and
were lucky enough to hear of and wise
enough to use Dr. Pierco'a "Golden Med
ical Discovery , " the sovereign blood
purilior , tonic and alterative of the age. .
Major Tardy has just died at Hath ,
England , agea 02. Ho was one of thu
very few survivors of the commissioned

A Remarkable Cure.
Mrs. Charles Hart , of Amitvville , Suf
folk county , N. Y. , writes as fojlows of
: IK > remarkable cure ot a peculiar pain
in her back :
Four years ago 1 was attacked with a
severe pain in the spine , close to the
small of my back. It was especially
painful going up or down stairs. Atter
using over ten remedies and consulting
half n do/.en physicians without any
benefit , my husband applied one ALL-
COCK'S Pouous PLASTKU directly over
the seat of pain. I kept it on a week und
I fancied I was a little butter , but was
not quitu sure. I then put on a fresh
one. At the cud of a week my husband
noticed that the plaster was pulled up in
the middle. Upon taking the Plaster off
u hole about the si/o of a quill was found
which discharged yellow matter very
freely. Another Plaster was put on with
a good sized hole in the center of it , to
enable the matter to escape. The Plas
ter appeared to draw with great power ,
and the discharge increased every twen
ty-four hours a littlo. At last a pint of
matter was discharged from the wound
before I got entirely well , which was ex
actly five weeks from tlio time I put tlio
first plaster on. I used altogether eleven
plasters , nnd thanks to them I have not
since Lad un ache or pain in my back.
Captain John A. Doko , who recently
died in Mantle , Muss. , at the ago of
eighty-seven , attended the laying of thu
corner stone of the Bunker Hill monument
ment as a member of the Washington ar
tillery company of Boston , and was the
last survivor of the company as then
constituted.
