His Work In Organizing the Party lit Nebraska and Ills Intimate o- latlonR With Lincoln's Admin istration Olasou and. Slldoll ' \VleldcdnVlRorouBPen. Resuming the narrative about early newspapers and newspaper men , I sug gested a discussion upon Colonel E. D. Wobstorwho was the first really strong man on , and who was actually the founder of the Omaha Republican. Before I discuss my old friend and his active life hero at about the time the republican party was born , I mention the incident that in 1857 the Weekly Times was started by W. W. Wymnn , , who came from Wisconsin hero in the early days , and was onoo our post master. Ho was the father of A. U. Wyman , our distinguished follow citizen , who for so many years was at the head , of tho.treasury.of the United States. The Times , Hko all the papers 'of those days hero , was a weekly and 'democratic in politics. Another incident of our newspaper life was the Omaha Democrat , started In 1858 by Hadloy D. Johnson , which liyod about sixty days , and died without much fuss beinjr made over the ro- - mains. It is proper to mention hero that Mr. Johnson was ono of the orig inal organl/.ors of our territory. Ho was an Iowa man of n , good deal of strength and ability in away , differing with everybody who agreed witli ' him at once , and a good writer , Before the territory was organ li ized , ho was sent as u squatter delegate , as you might say , to congress to urge the recognition of Nebraska us a ter ritory , and might bo called our first delegate , having no legal status , how ever , as such. Mr. Johnson lived in these parts many years , always a respected citizen , and was once the owner of S'M acres of ground right in the heart of what is . now the residence portion of the city. If ho could have gene to sloop twenty- ilvo yours and not disturbed his own possessions hla fortune could now be rounted by the millions. 13ut ho was * impressed with going further wont , young man , and growing up with , the country , and ho landed in Oregon , moro than twenty years ago , selling his prop erties hero. At a late day ho removed to Utah , whore ho still resides at an advanced age. The next newspaper iiuildent was the Telegraph. It was coincident with the arrival of tljo magnetic telegraph in 'Omaha and took its name from that circumstance. It proprietor and editor was the late Major II. / . Curtis , son of Major General Curtis , and brother ot Samuel R. Curtis who is now with us. ThlB paper was the tirst daily printed in the city. It did not live year , however , and gave way to the Omuhu Republican , which win * issued in the month of May , 1858 , l y Mr. TTredorick Snyder , bettor known tioro OB Fred Snyder , and a man by the Bumobf Brown. It BOOH came under the control of the late Dr. G. C. Mou- poll , grandfather of tbo present editor pf ho World , Mr. G. M. Uitoheocknnd , hon there began such a factional con- .roversy . in the then lormutivo stages of , ho republican party in this territory as to lead to till sorts ot trouble. It was then that the late Mr. Thurlow Weed was called upon to suggest some man to como to Omaha and edit the Omaha Republican. Mr. Wood sent our valued friend , Colonel E. D. Wob- itor , who after many years of absence , has boon for several years past a well known citizen of this city. lie has tiad largo stock interests in Colorado and Wyoming. Mr. Webster bought the paper in 1859 and continued to edit it until he sold it to Mr. E. B. Taylor and Mr. McClure , two years later , in 1801 , at the breaking out of the war. I want to speak of Mr. Webster per sonally without going into the in cidents of his Omaha lifo which wore sometimes exciting and always interesting. Then , us now , ho was always ono of the most active and ready men that ever controlled a news paper or undertook to organize u party. Ho was the real organizer , in fact , of the republican party in this territory , und took charge of it with a high hand. Ho would light ut tlio drop of the hut , either through his columns or otherwise , and the bitterness which lie brought upon himself from the two factions into which ho very BOOH divylcd the republicans of this city and terri tory , I will not attempt to describe or characterize. Mr. Webster has had a career. With the advent of Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Sewurd and the administration of that government , Colonel Webster was called to Washington , and there bo- ciiino and continued during the lifo of Mr. Lincoln the confidential secretary of Mr. Howard. In that ollico ho won charged with great trusts und responsi bilities , und uciulttodhimsalf ( witli on- lire credit in a service which enabled him. perhaps , to know moro about the inside ollloial * lifo of the great men of that puriod than was known by almost any other man in the country outside of Hay and Nicolay. SpeaUing of the duties with which he was charged in the critical period of the war , which caused the seizure by ono of our naval vobsolrt of Mubon und Slidoll , Mr. Wobator was the man who delivered in person the warrant from Sawurd for their delivery out of Amer ican custody , and they were allowed to go lionco. It is a fact that , under con ditions then existing , und tlio possibil ity of u coniUct with Great Britain , if it had been known that Mr. Wobator had that order in his pocket when ho passed through Now York , und ho hud sold his etuto secret for n price , ho could have made half u do/on fortunes for himself und friends on the money markets. Mr. Webster us a wruor was ready and forcible , and never snared un cti- omy or botrnyod a friend. Ho was us genial und kind and cordial on ono aldo of hia character as ho was aggressive , severe and sometimes euvugo on thu other all in an editorial way. Ills industry in attacking and defending - fending ugaiust assaults through ( lie press led him into moro or leas ol personal conflict with his enemies. Some of these antagonisms were very amusing , always ending in some adjust ment that saved him and othom from Horloua violence. Mr. Webster is still among us and one of the best , known men in our section who recognizes everybody , and vorv properly , as his friend , among whom I wish always to'ba clntwnd. I close what I have to say to you about the Republican to-day by Buying that ll was first issued as u weekly , always uj to 1S02 , when it.assumed three editions trl-wooldy , and was made a daily * twc | years later , in 1804.

IJloodcil Romans. FoitTROBINSON , Neb. , May 9. [ Cor respondence of Tun Bui' . ] When wo were boys wo road u great deal about the fortunes of grout Romanfc , but these would not bo thought extraordinary in London , Paris or America in thobO days. If thcso old Romans who boasted of their wealth to all the little world of their day , could have lived until now they would probably have very little to suy ubouttlioir possessions , once thought to bo illimitable und never to bo excelled - celled by individual fortunes. Croesus , who is fatill humlod down to us as un oxumplo of great Roman wealth , only possessed about $3,000,000 in our money , und would have felt ulmobt ashamed of himself in Now York bo- Bide eomo of our millionaires. For ex ample , what would ho have 'thought when told Vanderbilt could buy him fifty times over or Jay Gould sovehty- flvo times ovur , und many others twenty times and ton times. A. man died in Franco not many years' ugo leaving 20,000,000 , nnd another French finan cier when informed that un English man of his acquaintance- loft only 2,000,000 , exclaimed : l'Oh , I always thought ho was rich , but it appears , poor follow , ho died u com paratively poor man. " Crousus used to say no man could esteem himself rich unless ho could out of Ills own revenues maintain un army , yet Pliny tolls us Croossus was worth only about 2,000,000 or 310,000,000 in our money. Either armies were very uhoup in Cra'ssus' day in Rome or Croesbus wus blowing. This follow C1MKS8US WAS A JIUOWUJtl1 unywuy and not to bo boliovod. Ca sai of course hud a creut deal of money (1 ( moan Julius the great ) , for ho could take it from whoever hud money. Thle Julius Caesar wus u great spendthrift , and wo uro told by un old army otlkot that Julius was ! )00,000 ) in debt before over ho hold an ollico , but like u Col orado logialutor , whan ho once col into ollico ho was not long in cutching up with his expenses. Claudius boastou of hie debts , und Trollopo informs us a ) times they rose to 000,000. Clooro WUE not rich but ho was u good borrower. At otio time ho bought ono of the finest houses in Rome and borrowed ever } dollar to pay for it with. Still Mr , Anthony Trollopo says : "Ho did nol ewe moro than a Roman gentleman ol ranIc ought to owo. " Great Scott ! what an example for Ward and Fish and till the ox-bunk caahiors in Canada Cicero , when questioned by a corro' spondontof the Roman Boo about hii debts , candidly admitted them , am biiid : "Know , then , that I urn so mud in debt Vhut I should bo willing to con spire if any ono would ucuupt me. " Ho should hivvo luovod out bora ani joined the prohibition party. Still , old Cicero managed to keen a nouso in town , and his country villa was very line und had once belonged to Sylla , a Quaker gentleman of mild manners , but who hud died before Cicero ot the villu , probably ut u reduced price and on promised to pay for it in the future on the instalment plan. The house of Claudius sold for 00,000. equal to about $450.000. It may have boon u comfortublo house , but would have looked shabby enough in Now York or San liYuncisco beside some of the houses there for example , Mr. Stewart's $1,000,000 House. SMAT.TJ POTATOKS IN TEXAS. Mr. Coocillius Isadoro , a Jewish gen tleman. I apprehend from liis name , bequouthod 4 , 11(5 ( slaves , 3,000 yoke of oxon , 27,000 head of range cattle , und 500,000 in money. He might have been considered fairly rich in Rome , but would not to-day bo set down ns a rich man in Toxus. The old Romans know how to entertain , however. There is whore we can learn wisdom from the ancients. Just think of it t Crouaus , when ho was u cundiduto lor the senate , gave u feast of 10C03 tables ) to which all tlio citizens of Rome were indis criminately invited. What a United States ho would have made ! But now no Bonutor would do" that , even in Omaha , u small city when compared with Rome. A Q UK AT WAKE. Then Ccsar , to colobruto the funeral of his daughter , guvo a foust of 22,000 tubloa , with nn accommodation of three guests ut each tablo. This Cajsar was u great follow to feast ns well as fight und often gave suppers to which 00,000 people were invited. Ho was no moan churl who limited his invitations to dine to congressmen , foreign ministers and big bugs. .When Ciusar was elected everybody could hdpo to stick their logs under the mahogany of the white house. Even the Irish were invited. And Cassur blowod ubout it , too. Ho said ono day to bin postmastor.gonoral , JohaniusWunnaraucuss : " ! have brought together moro gladiators , boxers and wild boasts than were ever produced under uny former , administration in Romo. " But tlm > ppitmastcr-goncrnl paid ho did not i.oai'o much for such tilings only for prayer meetings , Sun day schools , und su'eh. ' U1 UKI ) . Whether Caisa Hod or not wo have no moanu of knowlfygj'for ' his old army olllcors are now ( ill1 ucud , and oven the pensioners of dopQl\d \ nt pension bills , with few excoptfoqfj , have run out , and these Ijjfjk , t know nothing about it not a jwomun even in Now Jorboy who was kUiwd by Cuusur is loft alive , so wo must guo H at much in his history. Augustus Ciusar , who wus un- ether Caisar , and.t'i great man , loft a document attached to'ih's ' lust will and testament , in wntcb hp told the Roman poonlo ho was onuilfld to the gratitude of the public because ho had exhibited 8,000 gladiators nnd brought moro than thirty-live thousand wild boustd to Homo to bo killed in the circus. A 1IIQ TIMK AT THE C'OIBKUM. Titus , also , was a jolly follow , and to colobruto the opening of the Coliseum ho brought to Roma 5,000 wild boasts , which were lot loose and killed by glad iators. Tlio next emperor was a mug. wuuip named Probus , und he out did thorn all. Ho brought to Rome , for a single show , 100 lions , 100 lionesses , 100 tiibyun and 100 Syrian leopards , 300 boars and COO gladiators. Having gatli- orod these ho caused the circus to bo planted with trees to resemble a forest , and lot loose 1,000 Obtrlohos. l.OCO fltugu , 1,000 dogs and 1,0'JO wild boars. The fiercer animals the gladiators killod.uud then the populnco hunted the boars , ostriches und stags. NOW , Mil HAUHISON. Why couldn't the lute democratic mugwump administration have done something of this sort instead of monkeying with'tho tarill and spending its time foolishly with the civil service commissionV But Mr. Harrison will give us a show , see if ho don't. Not only a show nt tlio ollicos , but a real , genuine circus. Time tire very dull , so dull , in fact , it is hardly .worth ones while to live , unless they cuu bo umein- bor of the legislature , and wo can't all be legislators , you know the legisla tion won't go around.

POSTMEN WHO CARRIED AXES. The Imdlcrous Blunder of an Irish Emigrant A Tlirilllnc RUIe on a AVlia Hoe's Back- Waltzing Ostriches. The Curious Side ofljlfo. In 1800 an English rogiinontwas serv ing in Holland , and at Egmont-op-Zoo crossed bayonets with a French regi ment , A ball , lirod during the retreat of the latter , passed through the jaws of a soldier of the former , named Robert Hullock , who , in the course of the after noon , was buried in a sund-hill where ho hud fulloii , by u soldier of his regi ment mimed CRrnos. During the night Hullock recovered , und , having boon lightly covered with sand , crept out and crawled to n picket of his regiment poated nour. IIo was sent to the hospi tal , recovered , and was serving with his regiment in Malta in 180G. Ton yours later a man of his regiment died and Hullock was ordurod to dig the gruvo , nt which ho wus found on the arrival ol the body for interment , still at work , though it was then neurly ton foot deep. On being asked the roiiHOti for making it so unusually deep , ho replied : "Why , sir , it is for poor John Carncs , who buried mo , and I think , sir , if I gut him that deep it will pu7.7lo him to creep out , us I did. " On the burial service being road ho proceeded to 1111 up the grave und uctu- ully buried the mini who ton yours pre vious had buried him. A your or two since a wealthy and ee- contrio Boston lady , who wus unde cided what to do with her money when she was through with It , saw on the street a young iniui whose face at tracted her HO strongly that she turned and followed him until she saw whore ho lived the dislunco , fortunately for her , not being very grout. Shu had in quiries made , found that ho wus u young man just out of college who had como to Uodton to study medicine. She con trived to see him several times without his remarking her , nnd uaoh time she became moro and moro convinced Unit ho was a fellow of honor und of grout promise. In the end she took him homo und adopted him , to the great In dignation of various people who hud been keeping u curoful eye on the old lady's property with a view to its going to certain churltablo institutions. In loss than a your the young man proved till the old ludy's skill in reading his face to Imvo boon u delusion und u nnaro by running olT with all her loose- cash und u lot of the silver. She wus too Bonsitlvo to the scandal to liavo the mutter followed up legally , but aho abandoned all faith in phyeiogomy und burned her will.

Schumfort , but ran uway seven or eight years ago and took up in the swamp. Sunday morn * ing it was learned that she had boon seen by some of the neighbors , so that A. L. Fullis and Jim Dooso got a dog and a gun and started in pursuit of hor. Pretty soon the dog begun to bay in the swamp , and Pal Us wont into the bushed and mud to see what was up. Ho went too far , and the old sow saw him before ho saw hor. Makinc a lunge at the dog , ho re treated , and she was right on Fallis , who made a spring to climb up soma little saplings as tlio hog dashed by. The sapling bent , and Fallis was in the mud and water ankle deep , nnd the hog wns about flvo foot distant , with bristles erect , eyes green with rage , and an , enormous mouth , bristling with tusks two inches long , going for him like a lion. IIo began to pray and to yell at Doeso : "For God's sake , como qulcklyl Make haste. Oh , Lord , do como , Jim ; run , for God's sakol" Before no got through the sow was in roach , and ha grabbed her by the oars and hung on for sweet liio calling for Doeso and tlio Lord at the top of his voice. The old beast cut him once or twine on tha arms with her tusks and throw him around in the mud , but ho hung onto the ears us his only salvation. The dog put in u lick or two , but this only al lowed Fallis an opportunity to jump on her back , where ho yelled and prayed for assistance. Dcose got into the swamp by this time , thinking that the hog had Fallis In tha mud on his buck und was touring him to pieces. Ho got there and found him on the hog's back nnd nearly oxhiiustoa. IIo pulled his knife nnd ran to bio friend's assistance , the hoij trying hard to scrape Fullis off by running under tlio buHhcH. Dooso made a lunge at her throat us she plunged at him. Tha knife cut about a pound nnd n half of meat out of her neck , nnd the blood boj gun to How rapidly. The light wont on until the hog wus becoming exhausted und Fullia wus beginning to think that ho. would bo unseated in spite of all ho could do. His lingers were aching by the tension of the grip ho had to keep. His arms were bleeding , and h was shaking from exhaustion us if ho hud a buck ague. Tlio dog mudo a snap nt her hind logs , nnd the old BOW wont olT nt a double-quick , currying Fallis doonor into the swamp , with Dooso nnd the dog running on after worrying hor. At last Fnllis was thrown , oil , and the hog and dog disappeared. Decso got bin gun and followed the bloody trull a few hundred yards and shot hor. She mimnurod seven and a half from her snout to her tail , was three four Inches high , and weighed iJjW pounds. Fnllis Bays this la the Jlrst time ho over remembers praying in his life ; the first time ho WUH ever scurcd , und ho would rather stay unothor ilvo years In the war than light u wild hog , on a JtlaoU Bhnoti. An old-fashioned housewife in 'a Clif ton ( Pa. ) will never permit her husbnnd to bo without at least ono black sheep In Jils Hock. She has got a notion that it Is not healthy to wear Blockings with any kind of dye in the wool. She carda the wool into rolls by hand , just as people - plo did three or four generations ago , bDina the rolls herself and knits her own stockings. Once n tree fell on her black Bhoop und killed it , and her hus band had to hustle around and find an other. H took him three dayn and miles of travel , but ho finally carao ucroas u black ewe Icmb fifteen mllei uway and bought it.
