THE COURIER. . supply of available material of both sexes. Perhaps the girls have tired of the home product, and pine for some thing new. Or maybe the youug men are waiting for more visiting girls. If you think there is a scarcity of mar riageable men, just run down the list with me. I will begin at the top, with the brace of touch-me-nots, Col. Wilson and Tom Ewing. Surely these are foemen worthy of feminine steel. The fact that they have been impregnable up to aateis no sign that they may not be won yet. Look at the deacon's one hoss shay. It held together a long time, but it had to suc cumb at last. Then there are the belligerent bache lors Frank Zehrung and Charley Ma goon. They both have an educated taste. One has a white and gold opera house, ample leisure, and a str iking wardrobe and Jack says the other has a constantly increasing law practice. Frank Zehrung has been indulging in a sort of guerilla warfare a long time. It is reported that ho has made a big im pression many times, but somehow he has failed to come out of the woods, and the poor girl has had to patch up her bleeding heart and trudge aloug sus tained only by the staff of memory. Frank has disappointed his friends so many times. He is still susceptible and it the right sort of a girl could only catch him and tie him hand and foot she might win him. She could probably Bit in a box at the theatre every night. As for Charly Magoon, he is even more elusive than Frank. And he would be such a comfortable man at the other end of a dining room table! But Lincoln Bociety is just now strong est in broilers, sweet and tender young things. These are for the buds, and I should think the younger girls would still have a healthy interest in things, and each is probably not beyond re clamation. They are somewhat experi enced, too. There's Aaron Bucketaff who is a class all by himself, sedate and settled. I don't know, but I am almost inclined to think be is incorrigible. Bobby Joyce and Mr. Morrison have a kind of now-you-Bee-me-and-now-you-don't faculty that is confusing. Still they can be come up by, as the saying is. They are quite up to date and the probability is they will not allow them selves to get out of date for a long time yet. Now is there any good reason why leap year should be so unproductive of re sults in Lincoln? And I have not named half of the availables. It may be that I have listed two or three men on whom there is an unrecorded mortgage. If so I beg the mortgagor's pardon. Yours lovingly, Eleanor. Lincoln, Thursday, April 1G. The First Territorial Legislature, 1855. It will be a matter or general interest to the people of the state that the next annual meeting of the state historical society, occurring next January, will be devoted to reminiscences of the first territorial legislature of Nebraska. It is very desirable not only to have all sur viving members present at that meet-, inp, but to collect in the meantime all possible data with reference to all the members and the acts of that body. It will be a great help, if those who can, will send to the society photos and pic tures of the members, and any papers, letters, manuscripts or books relating to then. Some members are living in have no difficulty in making a selection, other Btater, and it may possibly take tho' it is said there is quite an art in piekingout broilers. The list includes Harry Harley, Homer Honeywell, Fred White, Harry Evans, Ernest Ha ugh ton, John Farwell. Elmer Merrill, Harry Lansing, Guy Hurlbut. and a dozen more. I am not sure that Guy Hurl but doesn't belong in a class all by him self. Guy is going to be a broker when he grows up. There are all kinds. "You pays your money and you takes your choice." Eligiblesof intellectual attainments and social fitness are ProfesforsWhite.Owens, Lyon and Mr.McCloud. Jack calls them the pedagogic paragons. Any girl with grey matter under her bonnet who cau not find what she wants in this quartet is mighty hard to suit. I am not sure but that Dr. Spahr should not be classed with Messrs. Ma goon anu F. Zehrung. His bachelor hood is quite as aggressive as theirs. If any girl thinks he is easy let her try him. Mr. Faccon,Jdr. Stull, Mr. Cook and Mr. Hanna comprise a Belf-Batistied Borue time to find them. Information re lating to such will be thankfully re ceived.

They may have got safely through the broiler period but they are not qualified to take their places with the self satisfied quartet or the belligerent bachelors.
