Omaha Reminisoences Connectoed | with the Times of Twenty Yoers Ago. “Yes,” said tho old Omaha man, last evening, as he settled back in his steps to the side- and scared the skule-marms so. Oh, T tell you wo had heaps of fun in the old town in them days.” chair, thrust his feet out in front of him and blew a cloud of fragrant smoke into space, ‘‘great old times we used te have up in Omaha in those days.” The speaker and a knot of old friends were gathered around a little table in a back room on O street, and, by the looks of the plothoric buttl on said table and the box of cigars be- side it they were meditating an even- ing of pleasure. Consequently it took the Democrat roporter but little tim to accept their invitation tojoin them. He soon had his legs doubled under in his nces at the the table and, witha aced mouth, cast affectionate g bottle, and listened carefully to th remarks of the first speaker. “‘Yes,” he continued, “I was i business then m Omaha —‘long m ‘61, 1 think it was—and you bet your life Emigrants were swarming across the plains, thefreight- ing traflic was at its height, and the i) o man who couldn’t make money in the : she was booming. old town then deserved to diein poor house.

Tom looked up, saw the hor ror-stricken faces of the folks from the Hub, and took his cue ina mo. ment. HOR! he answered with a careless drawl, perfectly indeseribable, ‘only one his time.” “Just then one of the ladies rushed to tho edge of the squealed out to Tom, trembling and wringing her hands meanwhile: ‘Oh, say, sir, is he really dead?’ “Tom looked at her contemptuous ly for a minute, and then replied: You bet, old gal! All the usc lie can bo put to now is to stick some pegs in them bullet holes and stand him up behind the door for a hat-rack! “Phat remark flattened the Bosto- nians. In five minutes time the wholo posse wero on their way 1o the boat, bonnets, shawls and hats in hand, and they didn’t pu: foot on the shore again. The boat returncd down tho river that day, and for weeks after the party had returned to Boston the papers of that city were filled with tho most unutterably horrible tales concerning Omaha and its people.” And the Omaha man lauched long and loud over the remembratee of the incident. “And the follow that was shot — who was he?” 1nq_ired one of the list eners. “Oh, he was a drunken butcher from a military postup the river, who went down into the saloon, whore sev eral men were playing billiards, and because the bar-keeper wouldn't sct up the driuks, commenced an indis- sriminate fusilade. Consequently the whole party opened fire on kim.” He was hit several times, but yet had wind enough in hna to erawi up the alk, where he died, THE FLEET FILLY. The Two-Year-Old Wildflower Trots a Mile in 2:21. €| san Franciseo Chronicle. Despite the beautiful weather, with a balmy wind that reminded one rather of May than November, there was not such o large attendance yesterday at the Bay District track as the excellent programme should have attracted; but if the unrivaled feat of Wildtlower could have been foretold, there would have beenat least 10,000 spectators to share in the enthusiasm shown at the wonderful performance of tho Cal ifornia-bred horse. As it was, the club balcony was filled with ladics and their escorts, who seemed more inter- ested in the race than to beat Father The first item on the card was a special medal for any two-year-old beating the Kentucky record of 2:21, 1 for which Wildflower, owned by the d| palo Alto stud farm, was our only representative, There was not much pool-selling on the result, as it was rumored that the filly was in the pink of condition, and therefore against e 9 n a 11 wo couldn't have man meat for break- | yop 2:30 the betting was 850 to 825 fast! Many’s the good man I've sce lop over in the mud (which, by th way, was just as bad as it is now) with a bullet through his bread-bask- et. You'd never catch a chap off hi: guard then. If one man happened to meet ac uple of strangers on the side- walk, he'd prudentially put his hand on his pop and keep it there until they'd passed by. “‘The town was so full of rough characters that caution was necess: You didn’t know what time the muz- zle of a revolver would be jammed under your nose, and the trigger pulled, too, by some robbing son-of-a- gun, n 5 against time, while two or three en- thusiastics backed her to beat 2:25. After a preliminary warming-up the filly came out, looking as pretty and as fleet as the far famed Atlantic of old, who would only accept asher hus- band the man who could outrun her. But Wildflower was not armed with the cruel dart with which she pierced her defeated suitors, but was simply accompanied by s running mate to harness, in order to excite her to hor finest efforts.

The trial was commenced without any great interest beingshown in the result; but when it was seen how well Wildflower kept up her speed there was hush of excitement, especially when tho scores of clicking watches showed 3b} seconds to the £ | first, and when the word was given at the half, showing 34} seconds to the quarters, it was clear that she would out-trot any previons record if she could only keep to her gait. The third quarter was made in 35}, and at the entrance to the homestretch Frank Covey signalled to Maciregor to hold her well in hand, which caused a slight check in her speed, but R, H. Covey beckoned to him to come on, and she made the lust quarter in 36} geconds, The moment Wildflower passed the wive thero was an instanta- ¢ | neous movement among the spectators i | that broke out into cheers that were renewed again and again as the time was hung out, when the brave litt filly returned to the scales, and when the official announcement was made that not only had she lowered every two-y old record, but that she had equalled the 2:21 of Phil Thompson in histhen unequalled timeasathree-year- old. It is impossible to deseribo the enthusiasm that reigned among the spectators, many of whom are highly r r r 1 t 8 “Dinner over, us fellows went out ) on the baleony, where we were joined | iterested inour trotting stock, and R SR T TRy DT s only regret that was folt was that nerves ting somewhat quicte when all at onee, from the basemen: of a bunlding just across the street used as a billiard hall, dol Iver shots, fand almost sim ultaneously a man was s up the steps leading to the sidewalk He re: keeled over, deader'n h ang out half a crawling shed the top step, and there he ¢ pv.

As Budd Doble smilod slightly, Mr. Covey replicd that they have an own sister to her, and that the mare is now in foal again, s0 that the younger ones may vclipse their sister’s wonderful performances THE RECORD TO BE SURPASSED, “That is no* all,” added Mr, Cov “for T propose next Saturday to trot two other two-year-olds to heat this same record, namely: Marlot by Electioncer, dam Marti, by Whipple's Hambletonian, and Bonita by Elec- tioneer, dam May Fly, by St. Clair, and then to effice every yearling re cord with Alfred by Benton, dam Alico, 1 Almont, and with Hinda Roso by Blectioncer, dam Beautiful Bells, by the Moor, and T may show ona young doubloteam time that will astonish our astern cousing,” This immediately suggested the idea how the news would be received at the East, and if the old ery would be renowed of o short track, too speedy watches, and an exuberant idea on the pact of the time-keepers of holding at any cost California’s supremacy. Two watches were held on the roporters’ stand, and the one giving 2:21 and the other 2:21}, But if the performances of St. Julien, Santa Claus and others cannot enlist confidence in our deci- slons, our Eastern cousins will make acquaintance with some of our cracks that are entered next season at the meeting of the National Breoders' as- sociation.

This is the season of the year to se- cure the seeds of many of our most valuable hardy forest trees. It seoms as if it were uscless for us to impress upon our readers the importance of planting more groves, of the more valuahle kinds. Temporary expedi- ency has led us astray long cnough. They are decidedly better than noth- ing.” The Lombardy poplar, from its short life, is unsightly and uscless. The soft maple is too tender for our prairic winds It Dbreaks and splits in our storms. The cottonwood is only valuable as a third class of fuel. But the black ash, black walnut, butternut, ok, hickory, and sugar maple are all vainable for timber and for fuel. ‘IMiey are nearly as thrifty in growth a1 tho more valueless sorts And now il is time to procure seod. of each of these kinds for planting next spring. The oak, walnut and hickory should be planted where they are intended to grow. The areall difticult to transplant. The yonng trees usually have only the tap root, without any short fibrous branches. The nuts of the walnut and butter- nut should be gathered now and placed in trenches where water will not stand, and cover them with leaves not thick, but 8o as to keep them damp enough to keep from drying out, and not so wet as to rot them. Sixor sevon bushels will plant an acre. Some one has said that farmersshould remember to plant a few butternut trees, to induce their sons and daugh- ters to send a thoughtor blessing back to the old homestead, when far away d surrounded by the cares and anxi- s of life. We recolleet an illustra- jon of thisin our vwn experience. Some years since, when the father of the writer was in his old age, we were about to visit friends in New Hamp- shire. The sacred recollections of the scenes of his boyhood days filling his heart, and bringing tears to his eyes, he besought us to visit a certain but- ternut tree in Stratham, N. H., from which he had gathered his youthful treasures, the rememberance of which he had treasured up in all of his life’s wanderings. We found thetree, ven- erable in yoars with a trunk five fect in dimmeter. The friends of his youth were not there. Their resting place was marked by decaying marble in the neighboring cemetery, but the butternut tree was thrifty and green, and producing annually ite increasing crop of rich nuts to cheer the suceeed- ing ovanescent tribes of hoys and girls who play under its branches and gath- er its rich fruitage.
