Now that Taayer and Dundy are beaten, and Paddock elected, every- body will, of course, claim to be the man that did it with his little hatehet. JusT as soon as Tiptop Beat Red- ick for the office of Squatter Gov- ernor, that moment his star began to fade, his doom was sealed, and the Senatorial contest closed. “A little drop of water, a little grain of sand, makes the might ocean, &c.” —_— You can’t mostalways tell which way the cat will jump. At the hour of writing (12m.) the announcement comes to us that the senatorial game has been brought down by the unerr- ing aim of Paddock. Lancow: to have a grand mas- querade on the 28th. We appre- hend there will be phantom figures and long faces, as well as false faces enough among the political visitors there to require no special masks for that occasion. Variety storesshould take this warming, lest they may invest in articles which may not command ready sales this season. —_—— It is to be hoped the. Legislature will desist from too much law tink- ering. We are bound 10 nave @ Constitutional Convention in a few weeks. Prudence and common sense would d:ctate that the fram- ing of new laws be deferred until after the new Constitution shall go in force. ‘WiTH the resolutions of the State County Commissioners Conyention before it what does the Omaha fler~ ald think now of its repeated asser- tions that Nobraska does not need any more aid. What does that stu- pid organ thini of the unanimous endorsement of the BeE and its course on relief matters by that con- vention ? —_— Jonx BArNES, the miseruble trai- tor, who, with uplifted hands, called God to witness that he would vote for John M. Thayer as long as any other man would vote for him, has gained for himself the unenviable notoriety of being the meanest man that ever filled a seat in a Nebraska Legislature. The people of Doug- las county, whom this scoundrel temporarily misrepresents, will give him a very warm reception if he ever dares to show his Judas face among them. Like Benedict Ar- nold, the name of Barnes will for- ever be execrated by all honorable men. — THE Cheyenne people haye no reason to complain of dullness of business, judging from the re- ports of the Leader of that city. Tt claims that not a tenement house can now be had there, and advosates the organization of a building so- ciety to put up structures enough to accommodate the existing demands for buildings. Cheyenne has now a population in the neighborhood of 3,000, which, from the prospeets of an increased northern and southern mountain trade, will rapidly in- crease foi some time For a town ‘which eould not boast of a single habitation eight years ago, Chey- enne has just esuse to feel proud of the progress she has made. AMONG_the _proceedings of the ‘coun! Commilssithers' cunvention Jjust held at the capital, we notice a recommendation to abolish the office of district attorney, and substitute salaried county attorneys in ther stead. This proposition if adopted, would inerease the expenses of the various counties very materially. At present three district attorneys, at a salary of fifieen hundred dol- lars per annum, are prosecuting the eriminal cases in the three dis- trict courts. If the new judicial bill should beceme a law four addi- tional district attorneys would have 1o be created. The salaies of seven district attorneys would sum up $10,500 per annum Sixty-four county attorneys eould not be in. duced 10 serve for less than $25,000 per aauum. It is self-evident that the proposed change would be very expensive 1o fax-payers, N LEGISLATIVE EXTRAVAGANCE. | The present Legislature is in many respects the mostextravagant legislative body that has ever as- sembled in this State. Notwith- | standing the general outery of the people against inereased taxation, | aud the universal demand for econ- omy in the public services, our law | malkers are exhibiting agingular de- | gree of recklessness n the hiring of supernumeraries. Thirteen clerks, each drawing a salary of three dol- lars per day, have been voted by the two houses to serve on the var- ious committees. No legislature ever dispensed their charities so liberally for imaginary services. Four yearsago the legis- lature carried on the voluminous la- bors incidental to investigation and impeachmeni with but two extra clerks, and, if we are correctly in- formed, the last legislature only em- ployed two committes clerks during a portion of the session. There can be no possible excuse for the uncalled for extravagance. A majority of the thirtesn clerks employed in doing nothing at three dollars per day are not grasshopper sufferers, but, on the contrary, they bail from the river counties. What does the committee on buildings want with a clerk? Inall probability not more -than four or five bills will come under its consid- eration. The clerical labor in that committee, and in nearly every other committee, will simply be to writeon the back of any bill that its passage 1s recommended or dis- approved. The members of the committee will simply attach their X marks to the few lines written by the clerk, and then the labor ends. What do the people’s servants in the legisla- ture mean by voting $2,000 out of the State Treasury for supernuma- ries? Wesympathize with many of the clerks, but nevertheless deubt exceedingly that the people of Ne- braska can afford ut this time to be 50 generous. ——— SALINE COUNTY. titution— More Aid Needed. (Correspondence of the Bzz.) ATLANTA, Neb., Saline Co., January 18, 1875, EpITOR BEE: From the midsé of the grasshop- per region we write to inform you of the prospects and of how the hard times affect the people of At- lanta Precinct. Rumors have been circulated that there was scarcely a case of destitution in Saline coun- ty, but itis a mistake, and the re- port either circulated through tome one that had no interest in the wel- fure of his fellow beings, or too proud tohave it get abroad that he lived in a country where the grass- hoppers and drouth stripped many a hard working man of msall, or else be is not acquainted with the sit- uation that the people are in. But no matter how It came to be circulated, it is all wrong Nine- tenths of the families in Atlanta el e ing fime, and already some aré en- tirely destitute of provision, with not a bushel of wheat for seed, and not clothes enough to keep them warm. A thorough canvass of our town has been made, which shows that there are not near as many buskels of wheat in the town as there are acres of land broken up, which could be seeded next spring. T will give you the report of the committee that made the canvass, who certify that they gave the tows a thorough canyass and reported the following; Number of bushels of wheat in town, 3,466 ; barley, 140; oats, 625; corn, 13; horses and mules, including eolis, 145; cattle, 182; acres under cultivation, 3,883 ; number of grown persons 160; chil- dren 164: number of pounds of pork 4797, or about 14 pounds to each person, if it was equally divided, which 'would not last them, we think, over one month at the out side. 'We sincerely hope 1o more false rumors will be circulated_to keep eastern people from sending aid to to those who are :ctually needing help. We hope f. ¢ better times, but are not ashame: to own that we are in a destitute condi- tion, and those who jeer and seoff at us, and try to prevent help from being donated to their fellow men who are in distress, are meaner than the meanest, and do not deserve (o be recognized as American citizens, but should be sent to the Isle of Tortugus to re- main there the rest of their lives.

An Omahopper Wants Quail on Toast. |Cheyeane Leader. | At one of our popular restaurants, a couple of days since, a sinart Alec, who hailed from Omaha, and who bad been reading the last edition of the “Popular Anecdotes,” ordered “quail on toast.” When the waiter deposited the toothsome platter be- fore the fellow, the quail was done brown and looked shriveled some- what. With a conceited smile on his phiz: “Quail on toast was vwhat I or- dered!” he said in sever: tones to the waiter. “Yes! There it is befor. you " The fellow peered over : ie dish as if to look for something, :.nd then, pointing at the fowl, aske : “Is that a quail 9 The waiter said it was. «Bless my soul I” he ¢ :claimed, “I thought it wasa fly that had landed on the toast.” YA fily?” “Yes, a fly ! “Where are you from >’ “Nebraska.” “I thought so.

(From the Loulsvlile Courler-Joursal, Jan 17 ) One of the best actors ia Mr. Ma- cauley’s stock complny is, at the close ot this season, fo leave the stage and fit himself for the profes- sion of the ministry, his belief in- clining him to the Radieal Unitarian Church. The gentleman is Mr. H. H. Wood, or more properly H. H. Oud, who has been playing the posi- tion’ of first walking gent this sea- son, but whose versatility hasshown him in almost every line of charac ter, and who is considered one of the best actors in the stock com- pany, playing everything that he has undertaken with considerable success. The persenal appearance of Mr. Wood betokens the clergy- man; were he to wear the white cravat, he would immediately be taken by Canada Bill, the monte- player, “as one of his best game His countenance is of a pale intel- lectual cast, tinged with a degree of digaified solemnity more distinctly observable in clergyman. In hiscon- versation he is enthusiastic in his opimions, and seems to throw his whole soul 1n_his utterances—so much so that a listener could hard- Iy help from catching some of the spirit of his enthusiasm. He is much the same person off the stage as on it, and impresses one asagree- ably in’ the one situation as in_ the other. As an actor, his_versatility is manifest, in that he has played Hecate in “Macbeth” with a sur- prising degree of excellence, and has been equally successful in such parts as Julian in the “New Magdalen.” During the season he has enacted such parts as Mereutio, Sir Francis Levison, Volange, Sir Charles Courtly, Roderigo, Sir Benjamin Backbite and other leading charac- ters, all with good conception, indi- cating in all careful and thorough study. ’ A" Courler-Journal reporter yes- terday had an interview with him regarding his intentions to enter in- to the theological arena. He stated <hat he had been ten years upon the stage, having commenced his the- atrical career in his 18th year, his age being 28, He first started with the Raval pantomime troupe in New York city as a second dancer, at which occupation he was quite successful, appearing in Cuba and throughout the country in ballet and pantomime. About 1867 he left this sort of business and adopt- ed the legitimate acting, appearing in Pike’s opera house, Cincinnati, as first walking gent. Since then he has appeared in most of the cities of the Union. In Roston.he sup- ported Miss Carlotta LeClereq as leading man, and was received with favor. He afterward supported her as leading man throughout the country, He has been connected with Mr. Macauley longer than with any other manager, playing for a long while in Cincinnati. “The first idea I ever cherished,” said he, “wasto becomea preacher, but when about ten years of age I first went to the theatre, and became infatu- ated with the stage. Ihavehada pretty good education, baving been under the charge of a tutor in my earlier days, 1 have never lost sight, however, of entering the ministry, and the reason I have not done so ere this is because I feared I was not sufliciently qualified to en- ter. The thought has only pussed out of my mind when my duties on the stage were too pressing. T adore the profession of an actor, and play con amore, but it is not a selt-satisfying love, beinga less pro- nounced way of doing one's work in this world. 1 prefer_ the minlstry 1f there be such a Ahing, becatse isa high calling. Besides, I desire to cultivate g litorary taste, which I have very little opportunity of doing in my present position, the dramat- ic profession being very exacting in its demands. Perhaps there is no better profession in the world if its laborers do thelr work properly.” “You intend to become a Unita- rian minister, do you not?” “Yes. Iam a Unitarian because I am aradical in my views, and a radieal begause I am a Unitarian. I intend to preach the northernmost views of Unitarianism, such as are are entertained by Rev. O. B. Frothingham, Rev. Dr. Stearns, and others Rev, Dr. Heywood is more conservative in his opinions than myself.” “Have you been making any preparations for your entrance into the ministry 2 “For the past two years I have been studying very hard, and, as soon as1 leave the stage,I shall pro- ceed to Cambridge, Mass., where there is situated a theological col- lege, where I intend to perfeet i y- seif in the classics until thoroughly qualified as a minister. In the event that I dofnot become a suc- cessful candidafe I propose to enter the field of literature, having been quite a student of the higher stand- ard poetry and of the leading prose writers. However, Ido not fear any unsuccess. I have lectured three times on my views of religion, once in Cincinnati, and in two other laces.” “What is your opinion of the stage 2" “I believe, notwithstanding all the short-comings of the drama, as a profession at the presentday, that it is co-equal with the ministerial protession. It is a gorgeous and grand profession—a study of the human mind in all its bearings. Legitimate artists are infatuated with it as an art, and do not engage in it merely for pecuniary induce- ments. What else but the ardent love for it would ever have given men the desire to enter-into its ranks? What but their love for it could induce them, when ignominy, and the chance of being refused burial ia a sanctified ground and going to & theological hell was their lot ? — A Journslist’s Revenge, A reporter of one of the smaller Jjournals of Paris asked the manager of a theatre to give him two seats for & certain performance. The manager refused, and the journal- ist said to him : “Your rerusal will cost you 40,000 francs ($8,000).” For six months aiter the paper to which the reporter was attached praised the theatre in this wise: “Monsieur X. is a magnificent di- rector. He has a good company, and his entertainments are excel- lent. His management is intelli- gent. He knows what the people of Paris want. What a pity it is that the staircases of the theatre are of wood. 1fa fire should break out, the audience would have little chance of escape.” The result of this was that the manager was forced to build an iron staircase, ‘which cost him $10,000.

[Springfield Republican. | Although the English are not so universally a newspaper-teading people as the Americans, the propor- tion of the former who either can not read or can not afford to buy be- ing much greater, the larger concen- tration of populations in Great Brit- ain gives to the English press much greater circulations than ours can boast, Probably a one hundred thousand regular daily issue is the | highestattainment of any American per, and the only papers that can g;al! ot this are the New York Sun and the Boston Herald. Next to these comes the cheap popular paper of Philadelphia, the Ledger, with eighty to ninety thousand a day; and after this wesupfose the New York Herald, with sixty to seventy. From these figures there ig & quick decent to from thirty to forty thousand, between which rank the New York Zribune and Zimes. After these and between and thirty thousand may be placed the two leading Chicago papers—the Tribune and Zimes—the Boston Journal and the Cincinnati Commercial. Where the Baltimore Sun comes in, we do not know ; quite likely, however, it ranks alongside or just below the New York Herald, with forty to fifty thousand daily. But thislist embraces all the daily papers in the country having over twenty thousand reg: ecirculation. The London papers present much larger figures. The Daily Zelegraph, a paper larger than the New York Tribune, and sold for one penny or two cents, has a circulation, the last year, averaging 176,000 daily ; the \Standard, a paper of similar size and pretensions and price, comes next with considerably over 100,000. Third in the list is the Daily News, the liberal paper, a large penny quarto, and printing from seventy- five to eighty thousand regularly. The Zimes, ranking first in power and inflfence, and charging the ex- ceptional price of three pence, or six cents, stands fourth in circulation, and prints from forty to fifty thous sand dailies. One of these, the Echo, is sold for half a penny, or one cent, and prints many thou- sands, and it is a profitable enter- prise. Some of the workingmen’s weekly papersin London have enor- mous circulations—one, the Lloyd Weekly Journal, going up to the hundreds of thousands. Ot the provineial journals, those of Manchester ‘are the best, and they have circulations about as large as the Boston JournaZ, and the best Chicago papers, The Edin. burgh and Liverpool and Birming- ham papers, though much poorer 1n quality, haye also circulations equal to our most popular provineial news- papers. All the materials of newspaper making are much cheaper in Eng- land than they are here—the wri- ting, the editing, type-setting, the paper,® telegraphing — everything, whils the papers themselves are less enterprising and multifarious in their character, Saved by a Jaek. The following story is told as true, to show the manner in which juries sometimes declde a case ; The jury in the case had come to a deadlock The powerful appeals of the counsel for the defense had not been without effect, and the jury stood six for convietion and six for acquittal. Ballot after ballot was taken ; they argued on both sides, but not a sign of a change. As the jury would be out all night, cards were proposed. At1nidnight ono of their number, Colonel ——, who led the six for acquittal, proposed that they should play & game of seven up, the result Who was for convietion, agreed. and the proposition was heartily and unanimously adopted, and in all se- riousness, tco. Cojongl P and the foreman played, and the others were lookers on. The Colonel played to save the accused, while the foreman played quite as zealous- ly to secure his conviction. The baekers, standing elose behind their respective champlons watched anx- iously, giving advice and encourage- ment and keeping the two tallow candles properly anuffed that dimly lighted the scene. The game proceeded with equal fortune, until ‘the parties had each score six. Atthis moment the ex- citement was intense. Upon & sin- gle card now hung a human life. It was Col. P—'s deal. He dealt slowly «ana with trembling hands, his lips impressed, and his breath abated, and—turned a jack! ‘With the turning of this fateful card, which sequitted the prisoner, the Jury united in a shout, and in the morning went into court and gave the verdiot of “Not guilty!” a verdict which was received with blank surprise by a majority of the spectators, Cook County National Bank Sus- Dension. [Clica,o Times, Jun. 20(h.] The suspension of the Cook Coun- ty National Bank yesterday created a genuine sensation in this city. The president was reputed to be the wealthiest resident of Chicago. He came here from Iowa several years ago, and owns two banks in Des Moines, besides having a branch house in New York. 'The Chicago institution, however, was never much of a success. During the panic sixteen months ago it exhib- ited signs of weakness, and was only saved from bankruptey by the most strenuous exertions. For several weeks past it has been exceedingly weak, and those who were on the inside expected the de- nouement almost daudy, The causes of the suspension are numerous®| The president has been speculating somewhat recklessly, and has lost heavily. In addition he has carried 8 number of the worst dead-beats in Chicago, reputedly wealthy but real- ly bankrupt. His advances to this class of men have been heavy. The local business of the bank was insignificaut. Its patronage here has consisted of the most rock- less class of gramn gamblers, and the losses through their failure to make good their obligations have been considerable. The country business, howevor, has been large, and several Towa banks will proba- bly be carried down with it. The last statement of the bank, published last week, was the most favorable ever made by the bank, and there are suspicions that it was doctored. If this should be the case, an investigation by the bank examiner will develop the fact. — & AN old soldier corrects the com- mon error in regard to the rank of General Grant’s son. He is a sec- ond lieutenantin the Tenth cavalry.
