Weapprehend, how- ever, that there is no very great danger of the adoption of such a resolution. — ACCOREING to the Herald whose editor attended the recent conclave of the Manhattan Club the battle- ery of the New York Democracy for the coming campaign, is to be “anybody to beat Dix.” That ery will be in full keeping with the past record of the Bourbons. All the lesding Bourbon organs in this country have repeatedly ad- mitted that General Dix was one of the best Governors New York has ever had, and that is probabiy the reason why they are so very anx- jous to beat him with “any body.” — THE Herald again assails Coun- cilman Stephenson ina very scur- rillous manner for doing what he conscientiously believed to have been his duty. Now, instead of condemning Mr. Stephenson the Herald ought to give him credit for consistency, firmness and indepen- dence in seeking to compel the rigid and impartial enforcement of a good Jaw. Mr. Stephenson is not sup- posed to be a lawyer, and if he has committed an error in judgment touching the new Herald building, he is not to be denounced as sn idiot. Although thejury decided ad- versely, there are good lawyers in this city who coincide with Mr. * Stephenson touching the Herald structure. — According to the Lincoln Journal there was a meeting of & few prom- fnent Western Nebraskans in that city Tuesdsy under General Vif- quain’s call. Tt appears, however, the General's proposition for imme- diate re-apportionment did not meet with much favor. The convention, if such it might be called, evidently coincided with the BEE in considering this scheme as decidedly impractical. The sub- stance of their views is, however, embodied in a resolution requesting Governor Furnas to call an extra sossion of the Legislature at as early a day as possible after the Oectober election to provide for a constitu- tional convention, and to make a new apporti>ument of the State up- on which to elevt delegates to said convention. - & The Beg will not discuss that proposition now, but we may re- mark incidentally that the appor- tionment of delegates the con- stitutional convention rests entirely with the Legislature. They may, §f they deem it economical, confine that body to one delegate from every Senatorial distriet, or they may send five delegates from every county. The constitution leaves this matter enterily with the Legis- lature. — ‘WHAT OMAHA IS NOT DOING. Omaha aspires to become the me- tropolis of the Missouri Valley, and her aspirations might and could be realized, were it not for the fact that her citizens place too much reliance upon natural advantages. Instead of developing these natu- al advantages by all the artificial means at their command, these be- Jievers in Omaha’s great destiny, set llke so many opium eating Turks, enveloped in the illusive but ‘enchanting cloud land, where mag- ic air castles are built and precious gems abound. Meantime wide-awake and ener- getic rivals, without natural advan- tages, are industriously applying their artificial resources in building up a profitable commerce and con- centrating their capital in home ‘manufactures. ‘While Nebraska has been making years, Omaha hasstupidly permitted have wasted their energies and re- | PUNGENTISTIC.

[From the Lincoln Blade May 12 | Some two years ago one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in the State took place at the Capitol, to give expression to public sentiment touching the importance of the speedy construction of the Trunk R. R.i.e., a railroad running up and down the Missouri River in Nebraska. At that meeting alarge delegation was appointed 1o go to St. Louis, and awaken an interest there in the construction of said thoroughfare, since when but very little has been heard relative to the oject save in the several counties which said road promised to pene- trate. Yesterday we had an interview with Dr. Converse, in which he as- sured us that the prospectsattending the project werenow quite flattering and that the interests which he represented had been quite busy for some time in endeavoring to enlist such aid as would not only secure the construction -of the road but equip and run it in first-class shape when built, and he is in possession of assurances in writing from the orth Missouri ill extend the required aid. ‘We feel assured that this road will pay from the first day it oper- ates, and we know that it will effect more for the interests of the State than any real highway now in op- eration. At present the great ma- jority of Westward bound passen- gers do not touch Nebraska until they reach Omaha, thus hiding from the vision of such the most beautiful and captivating portions of the State. This route will invite travel from the Missouri and Iowa side, and enable tourists to feast their eyes upon theolder settled por- tions of our State as they journey. We have long taken an active interest in this project and appreci- ate how earnestly the people of the counties bordering on the Missouri River have longed to see the Trunk afixed fact. The word or promise has long and oft been held to their ears only to be broken to their hopes, and we trust that this time they will not be deceived. The Blade will not lose sight of the interest indicated, and any developments suance through its columns. — The Sioux City and Kearney Railroad. A meeting of the people interest- ed in the early completion of the Bioux City and Kearney Railroad is soon to be called at Coumbus, that being the most accessible point for a majority of the counties lying north of this place. The meeting will be held about the 10th of June, and it is expected that each county through which the contemplated road is to run will be fully repre- sented and that definite action will be taken to_put the enterprise upon a sound and certain basis. The distance from Sioux City to Kearney is not far from one hun- advantages to their legitimate frui- | Dr. Converse Says it will be Built | relating thereto will find speedy is- | all the blacksmith’s shops in that | region have had to suspend opera- | tions for lack of sledge ers. | The worst feature about this cre- | mation business is that some winter | morning, in & fit of philanthropy, | your widow's second husband may empty your ashes on the icy pave- ment for the benefit of pedestrians. — Milwaukee | A Visalia man, who dyes his hair and occasionally visits Mussel | Slough on “business,” was down | there a week or two since, when a lady acquaintance remarked, “Why Charles! how gray your bair has | turned since you was here last.” “Yes,” replied Chlrles‘I “I was sick a few days after I was here, and my hair always turns when I have a fit of sickness.” | Some boys in Salem recently bor- | rowed two eggs frem a neighbor’s | hennery, and after boiling them in a calico bag returned them to the nest. The boiling process left the eggs covered with the figures of the calico, and the excited owner exhib- | ited these curiosities far and near, | and sought in vain an explanation of this “curious freak of nature.” A check for $60,000 was recently handed the inventor of metallic | tips for children’s shoes in payment ‘of his share in a reissue of the patent, which he had originallysold for $100; and now, wi;.h such ell:- couragement as this, why can’t he win the everlasting gratitude of mothers by inventing some kind of brass knee-plates for little boys’ trowsers? One of the K. P. boys tells a good story on an engineer running on | that road. When the train stopped | at St, Mary’s Mission, the engineer | saw a yourig sqaw, with her pap- | poose strapped to her back, standing on the platform. “Have you gota | little Indian there ?”” said the driver | of the iron horse. “No,” said she, | “half Injun, half injuneer.” A contemporary informs us_that | you don’t need_ to black your boots | in Pittsburgh. You hang them out of tho window at night, and they are black enough in the morning. “Perhaps,” says a young man_who has been in Pittsburgh, ‘“that’s the reason why I woke up one morning | with ablack eve. Ialways thought it was the fistof afellow that I called a blasted fool. Butyou ean’t “ always tell what causes such things | in foreign cities.” | The habit of hanging mackerel on | a nail neara door to drip broke up a match on Essex street, on Wed- nesday night. The couple got home late in the evening, and gomng | around back of the house so as not | to disturb the folks, they sat down on the stoop to think. During the | process she leaned her head, in her new spring hat, against the house, and became absorbed in the stars and other improvements, while he tenderly eyed his boots. About a | half hour was spent in this profita- | ble occupation, when the young man felt something trickle down his neck. “Don’t weep, Julia,” he softly murmured. “I ain’t,” she said, surprised. He looked up, and his eye rested on an_oozy substance back of her head. “What isthat on the back of your hat?” be efl«lx. She Jdumped up al.yt thisin- terrogation, and instjctivi | her hund on the back of herplfel:;f drew it away again full of an un- pleasantly flavored slime. With a | shriek of rage and passion the in- furiated girl tore the mackerel from | the nail, and trampled it beneath her feet, while she snatched off her | hat and'tore it in shreds with her | livid fingers. The horror-stricken young man, not knowing what else [ to do, jumped the first fence and dis- appeared, and hasn’t been seen since by the unfortunate girl.

One of them weighed nineteen and the other twenty-one pounds. One hundred and ninety-four in- land lakes of Michigan have been stocked with whitefish, which are doing well. The average number in each lake is about 7,000. The season for taking bass, pick- erel, and muskalonge in Ontario, closed April 15th, and continues un- til May st In the Province of Quebes the season commences on the 30th of April, and extends to the 24th of May.

There are at present 80,000 lake trout at the State hatching house, Marietts, Pa. There were also in the same establishment 150,000 Cal- ifornia salmon, which have been turned into the streams. One hun- dred and fifty thousand Kennebec salmon are in process of hatching, and assoon as of fitting size will be similarly disposed of. The com- missioners report 2,700,000 as the product of the young shad hatched at Marietta last year. 1t is illegal tokill a trout in Mad- ison county, N. Y., and the penalty is $25. The law is temporary in its operations, however and will ex- pire by limitation next year. If the streams of Onondaga County were similarly protected until the small fry which anglers are killing eould attain proper size it would be an advantage. Without more pro- tection the time will soon come when no trout can be found in Cen- tral New York. Three or four years since the Miss- issippi river and some of its tributa- ries were stocked with young shad, under the direction of Seth Green, government commissioner, but un- til now we have heard of none of them being seex. Last Tuesday evening, however, Mr. Holmes, J. P. and Bidwell Gage, and William Liyall, while out fishing with a _gill net, captured what wassaid by those thoroughly familiar with this spe- cies of fish to have been a shad. It was fourteen inches long, and weighed about two pounds. It came from thestock placed Lyons (Iowa) Mirror. ——— SPORTING NOTES.
