Tavk about there being no benefit from the sewers!! Look at Thirteenth street and compare it's condition with _it’s former appearance before South Omaha creek was sewered. Oxama’s real statistios of growth are surprising enough without distort- ingand exaggerating their resl pro- portions. Bragging and wind never built up s great city. Tur Republican's “special” head lines which are invariably contradic- odfby the dispatches under them are “‘features of journalism” on which it should get a patent. Tug education of colored voters in the south is making itself felt. The Raleigh, (N. C.) Observer remarks that at the recent prohibition conven- tion, a negro named Price made the best spoech delivered and carried off all the laurcls. A “cock AxD BULL” story, started by the New York Sun, connects Sec- retary Blaine with the Dorsey gang. McVeagh and James say the charge is absolutely without foundation. Dana must do _batter than this or the repu- tation of the Sun as the champion liar will seriously suffer. SixTeENTH street bridge is the best crossing over the North Omaha creek and yet a number of serious accidents have already happened there within the past few years aro more will con- tinue to happen until that creek is turned into a sewer and closed up. Tus poverty of railroads s prover- bial. The Chicago & Northwestern has been balancing up its sheets and has discovered that its earnings for the last year exceeded those of the preceding year by only $2,000,000. It will now bein order for our farmers to present a few statistics. —_— Tymne appearsto be s misunder- standing about our comments upon Engineer Cook. We did not charge him with improper or unprofessional conduet in eonnection with the Holly waterworks scheme, but we merely stated his stock ideas on sewerage could, by no means, be construed into 4 condemnation of the proposed north and south Omaha sewers. Tux revelations made by the Den- ver Tribune concerning Dorsey’s New Mexican land grab, only confirms what Tur Bee has so often charged that the aduiinistration of the national land office under Williamson was in very badhands, If the man at the helm of that buresu had not been in collusion with Dorsey these schemes of plunder could not have been perpetrated. Tur: same old chironic objectors who have been fighting every public im- provement are fighting the sewer bondsnow. A majority of this class of people have neverput a dollar in brick and mortar, but they simply want to double their money in unim- proved real cstate. 1f Omsha's future greatness depended on that class of grumblers she would shrink into a third-rate country town. Onvren Howe, that pink of gran- gers and champion anti-monopolist, took it upon himself to keep General McBride out of the Lincoln postoffice because McBride's paper helped to de- feat Church for speaker last winter. Senator Van Wyck was appealed to by the Nemaha acrobat upon the score of great services rendered, but the senator inclined to the opinion that the statesman from Nemaha was pok- ing his nose into the wrong closet. Wiiex General Joshua was fighting the Philistines he was all right as long as he could hold up Moses arms, but just a8 soon as Moses got tired his arms weakened and the Phiiistines got in their work. When Van Wyck was fighting the battles of McBride, he couldn’t make any headway as long 48 Bob Ingersoll held up tte arm of General Funke, but just as soon as Bob weakened the Philistines got in their work; captured the Lincoln post- office, and marched off with Funke's. baggage. Tuk attempts of the Chicago jour- nals to throw cold water on the river route to the sea are not meeting with sccess. The wovement is steadily growing, the shipments are increasing weekly, and English vessel owners are seriously considering theestablishment of & number of transatlantic steam- ship lines between Liverpool, Ham- burg and New Orleans. The contract was closed a few days since for the shipment of 30,000 bushels of wheat from St. Paul to Glassgow, Scotland, by barges to St. Louis and thence by steamer. Several large shipments of sacked flour to Europe from New Orleans have just been made public and the rates are so extremely low that other heavier and shipments will doubtless speedily follow. The producers of tho west should encourage by every means in their power the development of the water route. Their interosts are inseparably bound up in the success of a system of | cheap transportation which will release them from the clutches of the corpora- | chiefs tion cormorants who are now levying merce. The river will bea competi- tion which railway kings cannot con- 20l or consolidate with existing lines. 3t is = broad highway, open to all chose to take advantage of its op- portunities.

The objectors to the proposed sewer bonds claim that the build- ing of these sewers is premature. They insist that plams must be adopted for our entire system of sew- erage before they vote the money to build them. They want to “know. at what point the proposed sewerage from the north and south Omaha sewer will empty into the river, before they vote for the bonds, and they want this city to go slow before engaging in this enterprise. Now in the first place the proposed sewers are in reality canals or acqueducts to carry off the water and filth that passes through two creeks. Everybody admits that these crecks are detrimental to the public health and seriously obstruct travel and traffic. Every bridge is an obstruc- tion and it costs more to keep the un- sightly ricketty bridges that span these erecks in repair than would pay. hair falling looped together with . bow in curls in the back, or clasp or & puff of hair, and b...l:fi et B font “No kiss?-he said, plud'nfv, “no kiss from my darling to-night?” ‘‘No,” she eaid emphatically, “no kiss, hear that there is mumps in your fam- ily.”—[The Sanitarian. - Three-ponged combs for the black hair frequently have a long i top, set with jet, jewels, or gold or or black hair like fillet.

Some, can invent awful mean slurs. the Jenkins girl was whaling away on the piano and the next-door neighbor, the the interest on the sewer bonds These canals or aqueducts must be built sooner or later, and in our opin- ion it is sound economy to build them justas soon as possible. We can aflord to trust the city council with the location of the outlets of these canals into the river. The crecks, with all their nasty con- tents empty ints the river now. Could it be any worse if these canals were temporarily allowed to drain into the river until a lateral main sewer ean be built to carry their contents off to some point below Boyd's packing house! As long as these crecks re- main. a large quantity of garbage and filth that is now washed into them will continue to flow through these malaria breeding drains. If these creeks are closed this filth will have to be carted away. It in all very well to advise people to go slow, but it strikes us that it is not ad- visable to stop moving altogether. Omaha has been going very slow in the matter of public improve- ments for the last fifteen years, and that is why she is so far behind Kan- sas City, St. Joseph, Des Moines and oven towns of less pretensions in everything that goes to make up o city. According to the city engineer the proposed sewers on, canals cannot be built very rapidly. It may take cighteen months or two years to finish them, but if the bond propo- sition is defeated, no move will be made for at least another year. Mean- time the dilapidated old bridges which span the creeks will be a constant source of expense and danger, and the poison-brecding creeks will prostrate hundreds of children and even adults —causing, apart from probable loss of life—great loss of time and doctors’ bills to people who reside in exposed localities. The only tangible point made by the opponents of the sewer bonds is that it will cost less to build sewers a few years hence than it does now. These cconomista don't take jnto considera- tion that the expenditure of £100,000 on the proposed acqueducts or canals willadd half a willion in absolute value and fully quarter of a million to the taxablo value of our city. They do not take into consideration thefact that the city cannot prosper and grow without affording employment to Iaboring men; that $100,000 put into circulation will have the tendency to increase our commmercial and indus- trial prosperity. Taking it for granted that Omaha isto bea large city and that we shall s0on have an economic system of sewes adapted to our locality—the building of the North and South sewers or canals cannot in any way be avoided. The details of the work must neces- sarily beleft with the city council and engineer. HONEY FOR THE LADIES. Almond color is very fashionable. Ludies satchels are large, flat and square.

The Yor ver and the Elder Booth. William Wi rin Harper's for June. Froms early age Edwin Booth was asso¢ oted with his father in all the wand rings and strange and often sadadven:ures of that wayward man of genius, and no doubt the many sorrowful experiences of his_youth deepened the gloom of his _inherited temperament. Those who know him ‘ack’s company will begin 1cnt in Boston on Septem- wr L. Davenport will bea John T. Raymond’s com- eason. .| well are aware that he has great ten- derness of heart and abuudant playing humor; that his mind is ane of extra- ordinaty liveliness, and that ke sym- pathizes keenly and cordially with the Joys and sorrows of others; yet that the whole man seems saturated with sadness, izolated from companionship, lonely anc. alone. It is this tempera- ment, conbined with a somber and melancho'y aspect of countenance, that has helped to make him s0 admible in the character of Hamlet. Of his fitness for that part his father vas the first to speak, when onanigh many years ago in Sacra- mento th had dressed far St. Plerre and Jaff cin “Venice Preserved.” Edwin, a Jaffier, had put on a close- fitting ro 2ol black velvet. “You look like lamlet,” the father said; “why do: play it?” The time was desti s to come’ when Edwin Booth wo 1d be sccepted all over the country a¢. the greatest Hamlet of the century. In the seasons of 1864-65, at the Winter Garden theater, New York, he acted that part fora hundred nights in succession, faccomplishin; thus a fea' unprecedented in theatrical annals. Siince that time Henry Irv- ing, in Lcndon, has acted Hamlet 200 consecutive times in onc_season; but this latter achievement, in the present dayand in the capital city of the ~rorld, sexms less remarkable than Edwin Bo>th's exploit was, performed in the clor 'ng months of our terrible civil war. The elc ‘muscular a symme countena. £ Booth was a shart, square, an, with a splendid chest, ical Greek head, a_pale %, & voice of wonderful «d thrilling power, dark hair o eyes. Edwin's resemblance to hum is hiefly obvious in the shape of the | ad and face, and arch and twist of t »heavy eyebrows, the ra- diant and -cnstantly shifting light of expm-t:, wiich :ldnwe- the counte- nance, nstural grace of carriage, and theor sey of movement. Edwin's eyes are dwk brown, and seem to turn black in woments of excitement, and - sylvania fami they are capable of conveying, with electrical effect, the most diverse meanings—the solemnity of lofty thought, the tenderness of affection, the piteousness of forlom sorrow, the awful sense of spiritual surround. ings, the woful weariness of despair, the mocking glee of wicked sarcasm, the vindictive menace of sinister pur- pose, and the lightning glare of bala- ful wrath. In range of facial expres- siveness his countenance in thus fully ual to what his father’s was, and to that tradition tells us of the coun- tenance of Garrick. The present writer saw the Elder Booth but once, and that ina comparatively inferior part —Pescara, in Shiel’s *ferocious tragedfi of “The Apostate.” He was = terrible presence. He was the in- carnation of smooth, specious, malig- nant, hellish rapacify. His exultant malice seeme to buoy hm above the ground. He floated rather than walked. His glance was deadly. His clear, high, cutting,meas- ured tone was the exasperatingnote of hideous cruelty. He was acting afiend then, and making the monsterno only possible but actual. He certainly gave 2 greater impression of overwhelming power than_is given by Edwin Booth, and seemed a more formidable and tremendous man. But his face was not more brilliant than that of his re- nowned son; and in fact it was, if any- thing, somewhat less splendid in pow- erof the eye. Thereis a useful book about him, valled the Tragedian, writ- ten by Themas R. Gould, who also made a noble bust of him in marble, and those who never saw him can ob- taina very good idea of what sort of an actorhe was by reading that book. It conveys the image of a greater actor, but not a more brilliant one, than Edwin Booth. Only gone wman or our tie’§ has equaled {Idwiu Booth in this “singular splendor of countenance. That man was the great New England actor Rufus Choate. Had Choate been an actor upon the stage—as he was before a jury—with those terrible eyes of ~his, and that passionate Arab face, he must have towered to the hight of the tradition of George Frederick Cooke.

The smallest has five members, and the largest, the Fourth church, Phila- delphia, has 762 members. Tt scoms probable now, from recent advices, that Mr. Moody will forego his original intention of going abroad this summer, and will ‘spend the next year in christian convention work in this country. The Presbyterian church in this country has 990 empty pulpits, with no minister in them. The theological seminaries of the church graduated in the last year only 144 clergymen, but this proves nothing. Members of the Christian chureh in Towa have combined to establish in Des Moines a college to be known as Drake University for the education of botk sexes in the highes branches. The college now at Oskaloosa is to form the nucleus. 2 The Methodist churches of Ohio number 2,014. Ohio has also 2,042 Methodist Sunday schools, with 22,- 660 officers and teachers, and scholars numbering 172,325--a trifle less than the entire membership of the church in the state. There are fifty-nine clergymen can- onically connected with the Episcopal diocese of Missouri, and two others resident. The parishes and missions are more nearly filled than they have been for a long time. Of ecclesiastical dignitaries in the church of England there are two arch- bishops, twenty-nine bishops, thizty deans, eighty-one archdeacons, 810 rural deacons. There are 23,000 sti- pendiary clerzymen. Nearly all of a class of fifteen graduating from the United Presby- terian seminary at Xenia, Ohio, have volunteered their service: i missionaries, but for lac] only two can be sent out, one to Egypt and another to India.

Two years hence the Protestant Episcopal church in New Jersey will be one hundred years old, and the fact is not to be allowed to pass unnoticed. But how it will be fitly commemorated is the question. In the Diocese of New Jersey they propose to pay off all the indebtedness upon church proper- property, release all encumbered land, and thus mark the jubilee. They could hardly signalize the event more fittingly. Messrs, Moody and Sankey con- ducted the services last Sunday night at the Gospel meeting in the gre: hall of the Cooper Union. The plat- form as well as the body of the hall was packed. Ex-Governor E. D. Morgan, William Dodge, Jr., and other prominent citizens were present. Mr. Sankey sat at the ha and led the singing, while Rochester, 3 Mr. Several hymns were sung by a numer- ous choir from different churches, the whole audience joined in the refrain. WOMAN'S TRUE FRIEND. A friend in ned is a friend indecd, This none can deny, especiall when assistanco is rendered when ono is sorely afflicted with diseaso, more par- ticulary those complaints_and nesses so common to our female pop- ulation. Every woman should know that Electric Bitters are woman’s true friend, and will positively restore her to health, even when all other reme- dies fail.” A single trial will alw. prove our assertion.
