She asked in what direction the city lay, and expressed rogret that ehe had not walked up to mee it. When told that Omaha had about 8,500 Scandinavian inhabitants and that her reception here would be a warm one sho said: “‘Oh, dear! My country will soon be entirely deserted. I find 6,000 in one place, 8,000 in another and 80 on, and I think the supply will #oon run out.” Mume, Nilsson has certainly improved in every respect since her last appear- ance in America. Her strong and aweet Norse features have become heroic, and her manner still retains that engaging courtesy which pleases the people. Tuns Brm reporter was shown the ologant car in which Mme, Nilsaon and her party are crossing the cold continent, and it looks cosy and com- fortable enough to suit anyone. Itis one of the large rolling palaces belong- ing to the Worcester Excursion Oar company and iz called the “Mauton Marble.” It is much like other “‘specials,” perhaps a trifle more elaborately finished. The state room in the front end of the car is for Mme. Nileson's manager, Mr, J. H. Cople- ston, whilo an elegant one in the rear is occupied by the madame herself, snd is fitted up in regular boudoir style, with ainty chairs and cablnets ot the rareast workmanship and most scostly wood, Back of this is the kitchen with French cook at- tachment and the larder supplied with everything nice in the eating line from loators to black tail deer. And by the way, speaking of this subject, three of the principal female theatrioal stars of the country travel this season in private cars especially engaged for them, These include Mme. Modjesks, Mme, Nilsson and Mrs. Langtry. The star of to-day goes about in great style, and it takes & good big bank sccount to back up her whims and make her feel comfort- able, This oar has been fitted up especially for the use of Madame Nilsson while in America. The interior has been refurnished at an expense of not less than §5,000. s are rather costly affairs and eat into the profits of the engagement. In the first place they cost $60 per day for their use, which sum goes to the Parlor Oar company’s treasury, and does not include the hauling of the car abeut the country, which {8 equivalent Lo the fare of eighteen passengers. Sundays count the same as other days. Then there is a porter, a French cook and serv- ants for the Madame, alljof whom are under psy during the entire engage- ment, as well as a manager, who accompanies the star and locks after fivancial interests ot his employer. The entire party in the Madamo's car, including the stars who accompany her are as follows: 8ignor Del Paente, baritone. Miss Hope Glenn, contralto, Theodore Biorksten, tenor.

A Goldsmith Gently Taps a Keg of Metz's Best To the Raitor of Trs B In Wednesday evening and Thurs- day morning’s Brx 1 read an article entitled ‘“The Rise of Beer.” In reply I would bez to state that it seoms that the writer of said article must have a very short memory, for to my knowledge he is and has been soliciting trade in places where other brewers aro established. I myself am in favor of patronizing and sustain- ing ““Home industry,” provided they do not become a monopoly. His statement that a certain brewory firm has made $260,000 by gambling in hope, nnd that said firm is trying to esteblish a branch hero with the In- tontlon of spending said amount for the purpose of getting their beer in this market should already inducs the parties dealing in that line of goods to patrontze said firm, as I do not think the citizens of Omaha have any objection to having that amount in vestod in this city. I am also of the belief that the writer of the artlcle would have had noobjection to making the 260,000 if he had had the capital with which to do it. A, GorpsMiri, WILL IT PAY? A Bad Send-0ff for the Glucose Busioess. But It May be That the New Procees is Better. In view of the fact that the Board of Trade has united with some ot our leading citizsens iu the effort to encour- age the atarting up of a Glucose fac- tory in Omaha, with a capitsl of half & million, and the matter yot unset- tled the followirg statistics from an eastorn exchange will be of interest: About $100,000 has already been subscribed to the Omaha project and & committee was aathorized 0 go cast and visit several works aud see what their lmpressions would be. A favorable report of this committee would no doubt be endorsed by the bueiness men already interested in the scheme by a subrcription ample to set the work going. It may be that the new process proposed for the Omaha works would not be so losing & game as theold. But the list will epask for itaelf: GLUCOSE COMB TO GKIEF, For a while glucors making promised to be the best business in the country. The Hamlins, of Buffalo, made it most profitably there, and showed their faith in the bueiness by opening facto- ries in Peoria and Leavenworth, Be- siden their three great factories, thic- teen others have been manufacturing the villainous compound in the west, having Invested hundreds of thous- ands of dollars in buildings and mach- inery. With few exceptions the in- vestmontshave been most satisfactory, There seems to have been no demand for so much glucose. The bus'ness, like the making of steel rails at $70 a ton, seems to have been overdone, and the wanufacturers ars whining for rellef. Whether the glucose men, like the steel men, will seck reliof in congress for their infant industry has not yet beeu announced, bu. that something must be done speedily, or the enter- prising capitalists, who have staked their. all on this hopefal infant, must ‘lay” down the baby, and see a great infant industry perish, so early, and #0 full of promise. It is touching to behold their grief. If now only an enormous tax on sugar could be piled on for the bouefit of a fow dozen sugar plantations; then, with extra high sugar and a vigorous crusade of slander against the now and honest rival sorghum, thsre may ba hope of salvation by consolidation and running on haif oapacity. We find in The Davenport Democrat the following statement of the present condition of things in the western factories "w Davenport works, capacity 3,000 to 3,600 bushels of corn per day, shut down two weeks ago, that the present with Ryan at the head and the follow- ing members: Mr. Isadore Schnitzler, Mr, Sohade, Mr, Giese, Mr. Thiele.

A Place Whore Time Has Wrought No Change. Spestal Correspondence Chicago Daily News, Nunremsres, Bavaria, Nov. 14, 1882, -1 find that Amerioans visiting Germany are very often surprised, even amazed and disappointed, over the modern appearance of the princi- pal citfes. to see towns that wero built anywhere from five to e centuries ago, and they do seo them, But there fa little left to remind them of the middle ages, save hero and there an old church, a section of wall fast tumbling down, a oastle that Las been ropaired over and over again, until it {a a8 new as Tom's jack-knife, or an anclent rath- haus. Berlin, for instance, is, to all ap pearances as young and fresh as Now York, with its magnificent blooks of brick, granitc and marble, and its broad avenues and streets, Dresden, which was built originally heaven only knows when, looks no older than rebuilt Chicago. Even venerable Leipsio, although she still retains her crooked and narrow streets inside what were once her moat and ram- parta, and although she now and then makes & desperate cffort to preserve me ancient landmark from the de- poiling hand of the modern architect, is fast losing the structures which at- tracted travelers toward her a hundred years ago. The mania for tearing down all that is old is ko widespread that in a fow yerrs she will be, like her slater Dresden, a city of iron and glass tronts, and the quaint and curi- ous gable-ends will have disappeared forever. AN ANCIENT CITY. But there is one city in Germany which has clung tenaciously and affec tionately to the monuments of other days, which has gusrded and protect- ed her old halis, walls, towers, churches and houses so closely and reverently and faithfally that neither ancient nor medern vandal has been able, either by argument or force, to make her anything but what she was eight centuries ago. And I am in that old town to-night, and looking from the window of my hottl over a thousand red-tiled rocfs toward the twin steeples of a rad-tiled church, behind which rises the red-tiled cas- tle, which was built in the year of our Lord nine hundred end some- thiog, or & short time before Jane Grey Swisshelm was born. Not that my room in the hotel is up 8o high that it overlooks the town, oh, no. The hotel {s en a high hill, and its first atory is on a level with some of the tallest galles. My first impressions of Nuremberg were veay strange, I believe the first impression of everybcdy who enters the town for the firat time must be strange, for the place is entirely!differ- ent from anything which the tmagina- tion can conceive. I entered Nurem- berg at 2 o'clock in the morning, through the principal gate of the city, that is, through a tunnel which rons under the old wall and castle, Out- side the wall I noticed, as I drove from the railroad station, were nu- merous handsome, even elegant, villas and business blocks, as modern as modern could could be, but from the moment that my droechke crossed the bridge over the moat, aud passed throagh the tunnel under the castle, everything was changed. A TRANSFORMATION KCENE By the pale light of a moon in her last quarter (a new moon would have been decidedly out of place in Nurem- berg), and the yellow glimmering of the street lamps, I could see that I had left the century in which I was born and raised bohind me, and that I was lving in snother age. The quaint old houses looked down upon me from either side of the narrow street, and the windows looking like 80 many eyes away up in the gabled roof seemed to wink at me, as much as tosay- “‘Well, wo'vegot a Chicago man here at last, and we'll show him what's what.” One is apt to be a little sleepy at 2 o'clock in the worning, even if one has not been traveling in a railroad car all mght, bat when everything around you looks as old and as drowsy a3 Nuremberg appeared to me that morning. it requires a herculean ef- fort to keep your eyes open, I be- lieve I kept my eyes open, but I could not look at one cf those gable win- dows without imagining tost it was winking at me, and the more the win- dows winked the more embarassed I folt, And so I was tumbled and jolted over the granite pavement, awakening echoes which, per- haps, had been sleeping for a century or two, and Nuremborgers who had been sleeping for several hours, The echoos grambled along the ramparts, dashed themselves in fits of ill-con- cealed anger against the towers, knocked their heads against the houses and wene flying before me along the narrow streets, until, what with the strange scenes, the strango noiscs and the winking of the strange windows, I felt that I was being driven in a very shaky old hack, by a very shaky old driver, who seemed to be guiding a decidedly shaky old horse through the middle of the world's history, with no possible chance of ever reaching wy journey's end. THE REIGN OF MORPHEUS. And still the old hack rumbled and rattled while I tossed and tumbled, until it strack me that if this racket was kept up v much longer the burgermelster, ‘:{th a posse of Nu- remberger police, would bear down upon us, and run the old horse and the old droschka and the old driver aod myself into one of the horrible dungeons of the castle, and keep us They come here expecting | P there for sixty years for disturbing the peace. The driver was evidently asleep, Indeed, I am positive that 1 heard him snore once or twice as the horse ‘‘slowed up” to turn & corner, In fact, everybody in Nuaremberg excopt myse!f noemed to be aslocp, and Morpheus was doing his levei best to get hla arm around my watat; but T wouldn’t let him. T was afraid to go to sleep. Whenever I closed my eyes 1 imagined that one of the gable roafs was tumbling down on the droschka, eyes and all, and just s I was about to be buried nnder an avalanche of mortar and brick and red tiles and window glass, I invariably awoke with a start. T had closed my eyes for the fiftieth time, and wae just to be buried under one of the tallest gable-ends, when the great clock of 8¢, Sebald's struck the first quarter, the driver awoke, the horse swopped, and in a few minutes I was trying to ex- plain to the hotel porter in the worst possible German the kind of a room 1 wanted, and he was answering me in very good English that he had a very pleasant apartment, indecd, and wonld take plessure in showing it to me instantly. THE AWAKENING I had had but s sort of a blinking viow of Nuremberg, or, to pus it lainer, only a :quint, but I went to bed with the impression that it was wlways dark here; thata perpetusl moon in ita last quarter shone wpon the town; that the wiudowa in the gable-roofs did actually wink, and that the hotel porter, the hask-driver, and myselt were the only living por- sons in tke place. But, when Lawoke, tho golden rays of & November nun were dancing on the peinted floor; there was notse and busle in the street; a chambermsid in the hallway was singing “‘Go away, naughty boy, naughty boy, go away,” in Gorman, and Nuremberg, wich all her old tow- ers, and ramparts, and moats, and castles, seemod to be sa thoroughly up with this vulgar and money-making age as any of our western cities, HISTORICAL. Before golng into details regarding the wonders of this ancient town, a very brief sketch may be of intereat to the readers of The Daily News, It is very nearly a thousand years old; it may be older, but that ia as old as the oldest inhabitant claims it to be, It waa n “free city of the empire” in the twelith contury, and Henry IV. and Barbarossa resided hore. Frederick II. and Louis the Bavarian, as we!l as the two first named, granted it ‘‘many valuable privileges.” Tracing its his- tory from that time down to the present it is seen that Nuremberg has always hela a place in the firat rank of historical cities, and only coased to be a ““free cii 11806, It has been governed by governo:s with all sorts of names, who hold a placa in history principaily bacauso ot the cruelties which they have perpetrated. Its old castle and ratthaus to this day containa the numerous instruments of torture Invented in times,” and some of them are horri- ble enonugh to make the blood run enld in tho veins of a Sioux Indan, The place seems to heve been selected for the torture and imprisonment of state prisoners in former times, which ac- counts for the numecrous dungeons and the numerous towers and prisons to be found here.

New York, December 6. —A fire on Mondsy night in the eighth story of the United bank building, at Broad- way and Wall street, was a matter of unusual interest to firemen, insurance companics, and the owners, builders and ocoupants of the large offices and buildings which have been lately put up. 1t was the first fire which has accurred in any of the many storied fire proof buildings. It started apparently in the flooring on the Broadway eide of the eighth story, snd it consumed the wood work in the two offices on the mnorth- west part of that tloor and in the cor- ridor leading to them. The firemen in their efforts to extinguish the fames tore up the flooring of the cor- ridor and the two offices, and also broke out the concrete fillings be- tween the iron joists. This let the water and small rubbish icto the of- fices of the New Jersey Construction company and into those of General U. 8.
