On Saturday evening last, at the Police Court room, the members of the police force presented Mayor Chase with & handsome gold-head- ed cane, purchased of Max Meyer & Brother. Judge Wilbur made the presentation speech in a very happy menner, to which Mayor Chase re- plied in his usual felicitous style, substantially as follows: Judge Wilbur, Marshal Sowden, and Gentle- ‘men of the Police farce: You have indeed taken me by surprise this time.

FLORENCE, March 1. Eprror BEE: The people of this place have voted to enlarge their school house by building a brick basement and fittng it up for a school room, with the intention of having the school graded the coming winter. The ladies speak of having a fes- tival or a soclal after the improve- ments are made, to raise a fund to procure a bell. - The building will then compare favorably with any school house in a place the size of Florence. ‘This shows a commendable spirit of enterprise on the part of our cit- izens, and will add much tothe con- venience and advancement of the pupils, and also do much to build up the pluce by making it a_desirable locality for those seeking. hume;.‘ C.

In commendable self-knowl edge, he fears, that the “prurience of diseased imaginations will be gratified by witnessing the Can-can, that all that is good, and pure and chaste in our Omaha youth, will be obliterated and wiped out by the im- proper array of tricots and low- necked dresses.”” He asks, that, while it may be impossible to sup- press the proposed peformance, the public may show its indignation at the intended affront, by leaving the seats of the Academy unoccupied, and thus save us from the awful doom of sinking into a bottomless pool of iniquity and sin. Ipity T. B. M. He is evidently anice young man, that never stole apples from his neighbor’s orchard in h® boyhoody and never missed a tesson in hisSunday school ; a young man that would think it an immor- tal sin to smoke on the Sabbath or driak anything but water on a week day. He belongs to that numerous class of people who will do anything to keep up the appearance of strict propriety, and would not for the world be charged with anything in- decent or immoral. But does not his desire to let “the shameless creatures of the LaBerg dancing troupe dance to an empty house,” come just a little bit too late, after the combined press of the country, all the leading jour- nals, the Omaha Herald included, have pepared the public mind for a show of this sort, and have awak- ened a taste for exhibitionsof & lewd character? He should not try to prevent the gratifying of that taste Nor does he deny that for the past eight or ten months the newspapers have done so 1n the publication of the revoltin; disgusting, shameless, Reecher-Ti ton affair. 'What is worse to pollute the public mind by the most minute deseription of the particulars of the Brooklyn scandal case, to corrupt the youthful ideas of young men and women, boys and girls, by the literature of adultery, as published day after day in the papers, or to put on exhibiton a per- formance which includes some dances of a doubtful na- ture?

The performance of the can-can you and your family need not attend; the reacing of the newspaper you cannot prevent, Which is the worst in its bad results? You say the prurience of diseased minds will be gratified. You then take it for granted that the minds of those attending the performance are corrupted. How did they be- come 807 Where and by what means were they corrupted ? Strike at the root ; prevent the awakening of the appetite, if you would pre- vent the wish to gratify it. OLD MORALITY.

The profession was well re- presented in the smoking depart- | ment. There are two reasons why | editors and correspondents are not, as a general rule, accompanied by Iadies upon such occasions. First, they cannot afford theluxury ; and, second, the ladies cannot afford to go with them. WHO WENT. The following is a list of the names aboard : Ex-Governor Furnas, Brownville; Col. O.

In the smoking car, Caffrey and Calhoun were having a loud talk over the Butler expunging resolu tion, while several of the boys were shuffing and throwing on a board by turns, little pieces of cards cov- ered with spots and pic:ures of va- rious figures ana colors. Passing into the dominion of ribbons and lace, I found the party very lively. The first sound that greeted my ear was “I made {SANCO, PEDRO, GAME !’ Looking 1n the direction from whence the words came T saw Huil and two other ladies playing with cards * that resembled yery much tnose I had seen in the smoking car; in fact, I firmly believe, though dare not assert, that the cards and game were oneand the same. Col, Wilson and Iady, General MeBride and lady, Mr. Howard, Mr. Evans and ladies, with many others, were engaged in the same game watched their mysterious ‘“plays,” as they called them, but could pot tell what they were playing, so I called it THE GAME I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. The train reached Nebraska City about four o’clock. Here we were met by Dr. Blake, city treasurer of Brownville, who passed through the train and gave to each excursioniat a ticket that insured good grub,gocd treatment and lodging. The ride down was quite interesting because of the change of scenery; but the train moved very slow. Just as the lights began to flicker from the win- dows among the hills, the weary pleasurc-seekers stepped from the cars, and were enthusiastically wel- comed by the band and citizens of BROWNVILLE, Carriages were in waiting at the platform, and the party soon found themselyesseated around the pleag- ant hearth-stones of the hospitable citizens of Brownville. Your cor- respondent was entertained by Mr. W.H. Small. Rightherehe would tender his thanks to this gentleman and his kind lady. RIGHT ROYAL treatment received by him at their nands. I canuot speak too highly of the generous people of Browville. WELCOME, At half-past nine o‘clock I went to McLaughlin’s Hall, and arrived just in time to hear Mr. Rogers de- Tiver the welcoming address on be- half of the mayor and common council of the city of Brownville. Mr. Peak and Mr. Webster Eaton responded in neat and appropriate language. But they did not assem- ble tolisten to long-winded speeches andjeries of “ON WITH THE DANCE'g arose from every side. The musi- cians mounted the stand—they had excellent music by the way—and the evening’s ball was inaugurated by a grand march, Gov. Furnasand Mrs. Woodhurst taking the lead. The elite of Brownville were out en masse. Aud it is worthy of remark that for good-looking, lively, enter- prising boys and girls, Brownville 1s ahead of the average town, Among the prominent citizens of the city present were Hon. H. Lett, Mayor Tisdel, Dr. Blake, and a host of others, all of whom took great interest in making the papty an agreeable one. THE “ADVERTISER.” During the evening I called on he Advertiser folks.

Sleighs | were in waiting, and the school was soon reached. The building is not | very large, but well constructed. The recitation rooms were visited, the literary halls inspected, bring- | ing upat last T the chapel. Here | Dr. Edwards soon collected the stu- | dents, some 200 in number, and the | A" class wwent through with their | gymnastic exercises It was cer- | i tainly the most interesting and per- fect performance I ever saw. I was highly pleased at the apparent pros- perity of the school. i Nebraska City was reached at 2 | ly packed ina COLLAR BOX, fully mtending to take them along, | but had forgotten them. Now L was glad. We walked up to the Barnum House, paid seventy-five ceuts for dinner, fifteen cents for cigars and—was’ “broke.” Tooth- picks could have been bought, T pre- sume, for a nickle. Mr. Brown, of the Press, and Mr. McCullum, of the Chronicle, gave | us every attention possible, and re- gretted that no preparations had been made. It seems ihat we were not expeeted until 5 o’clock. HOME AGAIN. The tramn reached Lincoin at 6 . o’clock, all being very highly pleased with the trip. GABE. | PROPOSALS FOR SEED.
