Prof. Dalby is a composer of whom Council BlutTs may well bo proud , as his nuiiie is played ny the leading bands all over the country.

At the Baptist church last evening Dr. C'ooloy delivered a dlcour o upon the character of David , selecting as a text : "Tho Lord hath "ought him , a man after his own heart. " The sermon was intensely practical , and was attent ively listened to by a largo audience. Said the speaker : "If wo judge of the greatness of men by the space which they occupy in history , David would bo placed next to Moses as the greatest human character of God's people. David's life occupies si.\ty-ono chapters of the sacred word , while that of Abra ham is contained in fourteen. There is no human character upon which the divine historian delights to linger more than upon that of him who combined in himself the olllccs of prophet , king and sweet singer of Israel. His career from boyhood to death Is traced with loving minuteness. If wo should judge men also by the influence which they have exerted upon the world , wo should accord David a foremost place among the great actors of human history. Ho not only founded a monarchy which survived as long as his nation existed , but ho also impressed himself on surrounding na tions as the greatest warrior and ruler of his ago. But this was not all. Ho instituted , in its perfected form , the religion of his country. Ho also , as the pool of liis people , composed those songs which have bccoino the comfort and heritage of the world. The psalter of David was not only used by his own countrymen , but was , at the ver.y begin ning of Christianity , adopted into the services of the church. ] n the first centuries Psalms were sung at the love feasts and formed the morning and evening hymns of the primitive Chris tians. O'f the other scriptures , in the fifth century , the generality of men knew next to nothing , but the Psalms were again and again repeated in pri vate houses , in marketplaces , in streets , by those who had learned them by heart , mid who soothed themselves by their divine melody. 'When other parts of scripture are used , ' says Ambrose , 'there is such a noise of talking in the church , that you cannot hear what is said ; but when the psalter is read , all are silent. ' Among all branches of the church , Protestant , Catholic and Greek , the psalms form an important part of their public worship. By tlieso spiritual hymns men have often expressed the deepest and holiest emotions of their lives. By them Au gustine was consoled on his death bed. Clir.vsostom , Athenasius , Savonorola wore cheered in persecution. With the words of a psalm Polycarp , Columba , Hildebrand. Bernard , Huss , .Tcromu of Pniguo , Columbus Henry V. . Kdwiml Vf. , Xavier , Melanotbon and Jewell breathed their last. Even the Savior , in his death struggles , breathed out his prn.ver to tlio Father in the words of a palm. . The sixty-eighth psalm cheered Cromwell's soldiers to vic tory at lumbar , Lord Bnrloigh selected the psalms out of the whole bible as his special delight. They were the framework- the devo tions and war cries of Luther. No hymns have so a fleeted the world as his. Ho speaks , mid the pent up feelings of millions of Christian hearts find expres sion and a voice. No mere human be ing , save Paul and Moses , has left so deep a mark on this world's history. Seeing then that so large a portion of the divine word is occupied- with the life and deeds of him who was the great progenitor of the Savior of the world , it becomes us to study his character. The space devoted to him by the bible history commands our attention. " ' The'speaker began with the first ap pearance of David in history as a shepherd hey in the fields of Bethlehem , when Samuel came to select a successor to Saul as Icing of Israel. Ho was by his father , Jesse , intrusted with work usually done by his slaves , and was con- sidere'd of so little importance that ho was not invited to the feast of his fam ily. "He was chosen king of Israel , the appointed prophet of God and the father of the promised Messiah. " David was described as short of stature , stoutly yet gracefully built , with auburn hair and a bright eye. While ho was in hiding from his enemy Saul ho developed his love for music and song. Ho was so proficient in handling the harp and lute that his fame spread throughout the nation. Hero ho developed his love of nature which ho so often expressed in his psalms. "All the sublime imagery of his psalms were taken from the scenes of his youth when ho was a shepherd boy."Latest "Latest born of Jesse's race , Wonder lights thy bashful fuco , While tlio prophet's gifted nil Seals theo for u path of toil. Go and mind thy Hock awhile ; At thy doom of gruutnrss sinilo , Hold to bear God's heaviest load , Dimly guessing at the road Hooky road and scarce ascended , Though thy foot bo niiKel-tended.

"Strange that guileless face anil form To lavish on thu scathing Morm ; Little chary of thy fame Dust unborn may prnlso or blninc But wo moulil theo for the root Of man's promised healing fruit. " "David's lifo at this time was full ol hair-breadth escapes. " The speaker followed his life from his occupation ol the throne. ' 'The first of his racc. ' : His love for his parents and brothers was described at length. Ills wonder ful love for his erring and rebeliou.s son Absolam Christ was not ashamed It bo called the son of David , David tin : sinner and yet the penitent. lie I : more closnly bound up with the sym pathies of mankind than if he hadnevei fallen. Hear what Carlylu bays of him 'David the Hebrew king has fallen inti sins enough , blackest crimes there was no want of sin , and therefore the unbe Hovers sneer and ask : Is this youiu man according to God's own heart' , The micer , I must say , scorns but i shallow ono. What are faults ? WJm are the outward details of a life if tin inner secret of it , the remorse , tompta lions , tlio often bullied , never cndint struggle of it bo forgotten.

Yesterday noon the Congregational Sunday school was presided over for the hf-t time by Ml' . D. A. .ludd , who has served at superintendent for four years past. Mr. .ludd and family leave to night for California , intending to re main there this winter , and possibly make that their permanent home. Should favorable business opportunities pre-cnt themselves , it is not unlikely that Mr. .ludd nuiy return here in the spring , as his preferences are for a lo cation here , but this is uncertain. At the loc of the class study of the lesson yesterday , the following resolutions were presented and adopted unani mously : Wiir.HKi' . Mr. D. A. .ludd 1ms been super intendent of the Sunday si-hoot of the Con- giegutiotml church of Council Bluffs , ! . . , for four years ; and , Winnings , We , the ofileors , tench- crs mid members of the Sun day school huvo learned with deep regret that he and his estimable wife have decided to remove from here , with a proba bility of making their homo In the golden state of the Occident , therefore bo it licsolvi'd , That we hereby express our sor- low at purling with our beloved superintend ent , whom we will miss from his accustomed place , and Urn hope that In the new Held to which ho Is going he will find Christian work which he will bo able to perform with as much satisfaction to others as that he 1ms done hero. Uesolved , That wo dcsiro to express our high esleem and great confidence in him , not only as u Sunday school worker but as u Christian gentleman , and while we will try to profit by the lesson ho has so earnestly taught , wo will ever remember him in our petitions to the throne of grace , and will pray for his continued spiritual and temporal prosperity. Uesolved , That these resolutions bo spread upon the records of our school , and that a copy , properly engrossed , bo presented to him. _ _ Dentil of Miv. Celse. Yesterday afternoon at ! 5 o'clock Mrs. Conrad Geiso passed away from this life , aged forty-two years. She had been for a. year past an acute sufferer from a dropsical affection of the heart , but she had been seriously ill only four weeks. Her death was not unexpected , but it is a sad blow to the family. She was the daughter of Mr. Horn , formerly proprietor of "Horn's Park. " She was joined in marriage to Mr. Geise about twenty-five years ago. She was a devoted wife and mother and highly esteemed by the very large cir cle of friends in which she moved. Her husband and seven children are left to mourn the loss of wife and mother. Two of the boys , Fred and Edward , are well-known 'in business circles. The remaining children , live in number , are younger. Three are of such tender years as to imperatively need the loving care and attention of a mother. The sympathies of the community will go out to these stricken otic * in this hour of bereavement. The funeral service will ho held to-morrow , Tues- dny. afternoon at - o'clock , at the family I'esidenco on Frank street. E. H. Sheafo loans nionev on chattel security of every description.

One of the most practical systems of organised cfi'ort which lias been devel oped in latter years is that known as the St. Andrew's brotherhood. It is of the same order as the White Cross movement and the Y. M. C. A. It com bines all that is good as to methods and aims at securing the best life for the man , i. e. , morality in all that the term implies. Its field is exclusively among men. The rcitson why the field is lim ited at all lies in the necessity which everywhere exists for active work in be half of young men. The hone of the future is in the character of the men this generation produces , hence the ne cessity of saving the young incn from the inlluences of bud associations and habits. A number of the Omaha brotherhood will visit Council Blnfi's next Sunday evening and a religious service is ar ranged to take place at St. Paul's church , conducted entirely by them. Several good speakers will bo hero and an interesting meeting is promised. The objects of the order will bo fully explained and an attempt made to or ganize a brotherhood here.

Ml'KMiKIt Ml'SlC CO. at the Ogili'ii. During the past five months the Ogden house has not been fully opened for business , and yet has held its leverage upon its old lime patronage by furnish- ing-lodgings. This time of partial in activity has been fully utilized by the owner , M. S. Stout , and the entire building has been thoroughly over hauled. Heretofore considerable trouble has been experienced in keep ing the house warm enough for comfort , The .steam fixtures have been examined and found to contain lime incrustaliom to a depth sufficient to almost entirelj close the pipes. This dilllcully has been remedied. The painter has been al work wherever needed and the house it now in eomplolo shape. A great dea of work remains yet to bo done. Tin kitchen and dining room are to recoivi attention at the hands of the mechanii and decorator. The hotel will probably be ready for opening in three or foui " weeks. "Until the formal opening Mi- Stout will attend to the business of tin house assisted by Mr. G. S.

There was n little more variation on the toft coal bids , but there ib ul o more of u variation in qualities. The board rejected the bids , and concluded to readvertti-o.

London Times : The public are proba bly not aware of the extent to which diamond cutting has been revived in London , Nearly two hundred years ago Englishmen were the finest diamond cutters in the world , the trade being nearly all carried on in London , and at the present time old English-cut diamonds mends will always fetch a very high price , as the cutting is still fco much prized. Through religious persecution they migrated to Amsterdam , where they have fcinco remained. At the time when the African diamond Holds were discov ered there was only one diamond cutter in London. Dutchmen wore accordingly engaged to work in London from Mon day morning till Friday sunset , and they were to receive 10 a week each man. They struck several times suc cessfully for higher wages , but when they demanded 18 per week each man they were discharged , and Mnglish gem cutters were put at the work. Al first the Englishmen were only able after a deal of trouble to cut a class of diamond in one month which they could now cut in about four days. As soon as it was clearly proved that Eng lishmen had once more gained the art , tlio Worshipful Company of Turners de cided to give Hnglish cutters every en couragement , and have , with the valu able assistance of the Baroness and Mr. Burdett-Coutts , offered money awards in competition against the Dutch for the best-cut diamonds. After several contests the Englishmen gained the llrst pri'/e and most of the others. Up to the end of J8M , out of four of the principal mines of South America namely. Kimberley. DeBeers , Bultfon- toin aiid Du Toil's Pan , no less than : ! : , ( ) ( ) , ( ) carats of diamonds ( or more than six and a half tons' weight ) have been extracted , realizing about 40.000- 000. The diamonds now discovered are nearly all found in British possessions namely , Africa and India. Ypt the vast majority of the stones are still sent to foreign countries to bo cut and pol ished , which every Englishman snould consider ought not to-be. As one of the trcatest secrets connected with the grade consists in the one word patience , there is an immense field for the em ployment of women. As a nation , the Americans are the finest judges of diamonds mends in the world , and it ib lo London that America goes for her finest-cut mnnds. The last official report pub lished was that America took iiliout ! ! , ( )00,000 ) worth of cut diamonds an- ifually from England. Kdisoii 011 His l'lioiioRraili.
