A Homo Inventor.
Frank Leslie's Now York Newspaper ot
the 4th last , rccitos itmt the engineers of the
Now York waterworks have devised an in
genious method of getting thtough quick
sands ut thu Quaker bridge dam , as follows ;
"While sinking a diamond dilll for the pur
pose of ascertaining the geological forum
tlon , a onlcktand was encouuteied which
barred fui thor progress. To overcame the
diniculty thu drill was withdrawn and a very
liquid cement poured Into thu hole. This
-found its way through the sand , and when
set formed a solid column resting on the
solid rock below the nulcksand. A second
hole driven thiough this cement passed the
1 troublesome strata without any dllUculty. "
This expedient , it is claimed , did not orig
inate with thu above engineers ; it has been
utilized and was patented souio years since
by Clmiles 1'ontean old resident ol
Omaha , and many yeais scientist of the
Union Pnclllo company. It is precisely the
same modus operandl as described theicln.
Thiough quicksand or other shifting ma
terial , a perforation with stable lining , cither
largo or small , can bo inadu at small expense ,
mid at Inlhiltety less cost than the method
offieozing through Iron pipes , which has
gained a w Ido reputation. The method h
'susceptible of many diverse i applications ,
Thoiu arc many localities which arc known
to bo underlaid with placer or vein gold , but
are inaccessible to search on account of quick
Bund or other pounciiblo material to bi
passed through to icuch the metal.

CUI/TIVA'UOV OF SILK.
How Our CntiKrosHincn May Ilnconr-
a 1:0 It In Nebraska.
A. Thlcssen , the leading silk raiser of this
part of the countrycame to the city jesterdny
from his homo in Jaiiscn , Jefferson county ,
in this stale. Ho brought with him a braid
of raw silk of a rich gold color , several de
signs In Mower work made from the cocoon ,
which are very pretty , besides a couple of
spools of silk thread made by n lloston llrm
out of the raw silk i ulsed la th Is state by the
gentleman In question.
Mr. Thlesscn has been In the silk business
all his life ami has devoted some ye.us to it
in this state. His explanation of the busi
ness is very Interesting. Heccntly ho was
employed by the stnto of Kansas as the
superintendent of the silk station at Pcabody.
The place was in a wretched condition when
ho took hold of the management , and by the
time ho cot it Into good shnpo the small ap
propriation expired. As a consequence the
station is now Inoperative. While engaged
In ICtinsas Mr Thiessen maintained his homo
in this city.
Ono month ago the government appro
priated 3rJ."i,000 for the cultivation of silk In
this country , and Mr. Thlesseu hopes to so
Interest our delegation in congress that Nebraska -
braska may receive a share of this amount to
establish a silk station here. Ho claims that
&i,000 could erect a better plant than Kansas
has paid 810,000 for.
Mr. Thiessen will have some silk workers
nt thu Omaha fair. Hu says thoiu are 1,500
Gorman' fanners in Ncbiaskii who under
stand the cultivation of silk , and who would
go Into the business if such a station weio
but organized.
Mr. Thios un a couple of years ago visited
Hussiaon business. Ho was attested us a
German spy. Ho telegraphed his wife. She
telegraphed Seciutury Hn.Mird , and on the
showingof the latter gentleman Thiesson was
discharged.

or the robbing of the pjstolllcei and stores
it Mascot and \Vllcov , Hiuliin county , Is now
n the county jail.
Ho was brought in by Deputy United
SUites Marshal Allen and has already made
a full confession of his crime to the govern-
nent ofllcials.
Ho will be airaigned today before
Justice Anderson and , on his own plea of
guilty , will uiob ibly bu turned over to Judge
Dundy for sentence.
Walston is a rather slendoily built , smooth
faced boy and savs ho is only svonteoii year s
old. His nppoaianco will bear him out in his
statement.
When a Htu : repoitcr spoke to him , ho
camu up to the bars of the cell , and , In a very
cool and convets.itlonal tone , told the follow
ing history of himself :
"lam onlj so\enuun , and was a member
of the Freshman class In the college at
Bureka , 111. , until the end of the winter
term , when 1 w.is taken sick and was com-
iiclled to leave school. As my homo is in
ISloommgton , 111. , and my father is a man
sevontj-Uiieo ycais oldimd dependent partly
for his suppott on me , Idid not want to go
liomo , but concluded to come west , thinking
that u changu of climate might do mu sotno
good.
"When I arrived in Nebraska , 1 took out
an agency for a campaign book , "J'ho His
toty of Pi election , ' to sell it in and about
Mascot and Wilcov. I did not succeed very
well , and was about 'broke. ' 1 saw how
careless the stores where these postolllces
were kept wcio secured lur.unst burglars
and I concluded to make a stake by aiobbery
and quit thu country.
"I went through the postofllcc at Mascot
on the fouith of August and the 0110 at Wilcox -
coxa week Inter. I only got JOO in money ,
but I secured a largo amount in stamps , or
ders and registuicd letters which were of no
use to mo. 1 gained entrance through the
window at each of thcso stores. A number
of stores in "thai neighboring towns were
robbed about the time these postoftlces were ,
ahd Isuppose I will be blamed for the work ,
but I did not do It. ' *
The yoilng man told this story of his crime
with us much nerve as an old criminal tuul
ended with the remark that ho thought the
Judge would not toery severe In sentenc
ing him.
Ho was arrested , at Alma while on the
train by Sheriff Allan of Harlan county , on a
description furnished him by 1'ostofllco Inspector
specter Urowti.
Among the stolen property in Wnlston's
possession were dr.tfts on the State National
bank of Witeox. and the United States Na
tional bank of thm city , a largo amount of
stamps , letters and valuable postofllcu paper.
It Is estimated tnnt about W.OOO worth of
property was stolen fiom the two postoftlces
