A New Drink in Nebraska, From the Iowa State Leader. A new industry has taken root In Omaha which is startling in its full development when one thinks to what results it may lead. It 1s nothing more or less than a new rival for liquors, being a palatable and invigorating substitute. The Omaha Union has the following account of it: “The beef-tea trade 1s looking up,” said a dispenser of drinks to a Union reporter yester- day, when the latter had dropped into the place under the fmpression that it was the rooms of the Young Men's Chi sociation. “What has beef tea got to do with your business 7” asked the scribe. ‘‘Since the early part of last ail there has been a demand for beef tea at this bar, At first we ‘hed at the Idea of going to several young girls to a perhaps one Just been married—has rity in our American city life, t general misapprehension of nds, Without correct mother snould try her daughters, and to others say, ball with a ver of thei led to gre not to i. there is not rod should not accept.

Now, do you not run great risks when you abandon | your homes, and bring out your young irls at a hotel Thereis something in her wise remark, and with the carele: of chaperonage in 5 which are now largely populated by irre- sponsible foreigners, the dangers increase. The first duty of a gentleman on entering a ball room is to make his bow to the lady of the house and to her daughters; he should then Strive to find lis host—a very difficult business sometimes. Young men are very much cen- sured, however, who do not find out their host, and insist upon being presented to him. Pater- familias In America is sometimes thought to hold a very Insignificant place in his own house, and be good tor nothing but to draw checks. This is indicative of a yery poor social condition, and no man invited to a gentleman's house should leave it until he has made his bow to the head thereof. It is prover for Intimate friends to ask for in- vitations to a ball for other friends, particularly for young geutiemen who are “dancing men.” More prudence should be exercised in asking for ladies, but the hostess has always the privi- lege of saying that her list $s full, if she does not wish to invite her friends’ friends. No of- fense should be taken if this refusal is given politely. In most luxurious houses a tea-room Is open from the beginning to the end of a bail, fre- quently on the second story, where bouillon, tea, coffee, and macaroons are in order, or a plate of sandwiches, or any such light refresh- ment for those who do not eat a heavy supper. A large bowl of iced lemonade is also in this coor —a most grateful refreshment in a hot ball. The putting of crash over cary furze that rises from it in dancin, 80 unhealthy to the dancers—is wholly abandoned; pe) ae floors are be- coming so common—and the dancing on them is much more agreeable in every way—that ‘ts—the fine wing proved now almost You ain't | ladies have their heavy parlor carpets taken | and walked up to one of the lady clerks, when up before giving a ball rather than lay a crash. ‘Asmoking-room up or down stairs is provided ' | for the gentlemen, where cigare and brandy and | right, sir.

Hail to the drink of the future! Hail beef teal ae ‘olly Shots, From the Brooklyn Eagle, “By Jove! there goes my birdie,” exclaimed aswell, dodging around the corner and drag- his companion after nim. “Where is she?” excitedly asked the latter. “Itisn’t ashe. It’s my tailor.” “Your tailor? Why do you cali him your birdie?” “Because he’s always presenting his bill.” The Prince of Wales’ eldest son having fallen in love with a beautiful American girl, his father promptly ordered histrunk to be packed and sent him off to Cambridge. Having finished this good deed he remarked, with a Church of England look in his fat, Guelph eyes: “If there’s anything that makes me mad it is to see a young man dead gone on a pretty woman,” Agentleman apparently attempting the feat of escorting a lamp post was arrested by an officer and taken to the station house. Upon recovering his sobriety he explained to the ser- geant that he thought he was leaning against his wife, and that she was leading him home “Do you mean to say that you couldn't tellthe difference between your wife and a lamp post?” “Yes,” said the prisoner, meekly, “my wife is a Boston woman.” A young lady who saw President Arthur in the recent procession and was asked what she thought of him said: “He looked just as ifhe had been fishing and come home without catching anything.” Two ladies fresh from the esthetic circles of Philadelphia were visiting the British Museum, One of them was fat without being fair, and closely hugging sixty. The other was fair with- out being fat, and might have been twenty, The daughter had entered the gallery of Greek statues, taken one hurried glance and returned covered with blushes. “Don't be a fool, what's the matter with you, Hannah—why don't you go in?” said her mother, giving the girl a push. *Oh—no—not yet, protested the trembling creature, “I couldn't it, mamma. They've been bathing the statues and haven't put’ on their clothes yet.” ‘The Proper Color. From the Bangor Commercial. The other day a rather green-looking young fellow went into a dry goods store in Bangor, the following conversation oceurred: “I want to get four yards of wide ribbon for agirl.” “All “T don't know. I Just want four yards of ribbon, that’s all” ‘Yes, but we had ought to give her some color that will suit her.

Winter, however, drives them to shelter. and those who do not ‘migrate to the sunny climes of the south, find a haven in some county Jail, under whose friendly roof they sleep away the cold days and are fat and ready forthe summer trip when spring opens. Two men, while watching the loading of a car of United States bonded merchandise in New York city, concluded to take passage for San Francisco. They procured an auger and small saw, and during the night sawed a piece ot bevelling from the the floor of the car, procured a supply of water and food, and rode 3,000 miles before they were discovered. One of them com- ing out for exercise gave the thing away. They were arrested and held until the custom house authorities in San Francisco had examined the contents of the car, and floding it undisturbed they wererelease ——_—_—__-e.______ Getting Even with the Conductor. From the New Haven Register, “The last time I went to Boston,” confided a thin consumptive-looking traveler on thd East- ern road to a fellow passenger, “the conductor krew monotonous. He insisted on examining ly ticket at every station and grew restless as we passed watering troughs. This time’—the travejer continued, as he looked anxiously to- wardsthe car door, “we play a change of pro- #ram and the boxes are all taken.” As the con- ductor entered with apompous “tickets.please,” the stranger quietly presented a single trip tick- et for the next station. The next time he en- tered the unknown handed him a mileage ticket following it later with a sportsman’s ticket for Labrador. As the conductor was passing him on the next round, the traveler pressed an em|- grant’s ticket for Puget’s Sound into his hand and then tried to get him to take a first-class passaxe to Sing Sing with sleeper check. “Didn't I just punch a Puget Sound ticket for you?” deinanded the astonished conductor. Must have been another party,” juietly re- plied the traveler, burying himself in the last Har- per's. Again “tickets, please,” echoed through the car, and the stranger confronted the conductor ith a “Forida for the winter” excursion via the Richmond boats. “See here.” sald the enraged official. “What does this mean. I have punched tickets for you for all points of the globe. Haven't got a child’s ticket to Pata- gonia ora Hong Kong cattle show excursion, have you?

England has been fond of queens, and has usually given them @ good name. Of Matilda we know very little. But the faults of Mary were attributed in great part to her husband, while both Elizabeth and Anne have, perhaps, with equal reason been decorated with the name of “Good.” It certainly has so happened that the reigns of the three last queens who have occupled the English throne have been both happy and glorious. Inall alike we see great developments of the national ener, , the flow- ering of a brilliant and characteristic literature, and fhe Rrowth of new 2 et social ideas inaugurating new stages of progress. If we carry our minds back to the Ronsutan of Queen ‘Elizabeth, we find ourselves in a@ world which has, indeed, little re- semblance to our own, but which was an entirely new departure from the world of the Plantagenets. Similarly, in the reign of Anne, we are face to face with a political and social regime wholly different in kind from that ot the seventeenth century, the departing footsteps of which we look back upon through the reign of William. In our own time it is unnecessary to say that we live in a transition period from the stereotyped thoughts and habits of the pre- reform era tosome unknown and unconjectured destiny. Thus, all three reigns have been sig- nalized by the same distinctive feature, have each in some measure ushered In a new age,and have been distinguished by the same lit and intellectual activity. To which of them history will assign the i onitea f & question which we shall not touch, The Elizabethan, the A and the Victorian eras have each their special glories to boast of, and their com- parative greatness must depend to a great ex- tent on the character of the mind which contem- plates them, Forming one of the most clean’ Goods ever sent to this ci PUBLIC AUC’ WEDS DECEMBER NI H, COMMENCING AT ELEVEN A.
