An Omaha Man Who Knew the Little Peasant Girl Madame Nilsson and her party.still remain in their comfortable quar. tera at tho Millard, and express themselves as highly plessed with thelr accommodations, At noon yesterday, In pursuanee with an invitatien from General O, O, Howard, Madame Nilsson acd a half dozen of the company prepared to pay a vislt to Fort Omaha. Genersl Howard had kiadly placed his sleigh at thelr disposal, but as it wsa not forthosming at the appelnted hour they took carrlages and drove out. They hsd been promised a reception at the Fort, at which Gen. Oarlin was to officlate, but on arriving at the grounde they did notwes Gen. Oarlin nor any other general, nor for that matter, lng private efther, and after wandering wround awhile and gettlug romewhat chilled they retarned to the elty., Nilsson waa o high spirits snd on her way back, passing some boys who were ooasting she was anxious to get out of the carriage and rlde en one of the aleds awhile. The entire party re. grotted not having their skates with them as all are good skators, the mademe particalarly, Intheafternoon they walked about the elty, visiting soveral of the leading atores. Oon. widersble time was spent at Max Moy- er's, where they examined nkaten, guos snd other srticles, and Nilsson mwede a number of purchazes as pres- onts for the members of the company. Shortly after thelr arrival at the hotcl the officers of the department of the Piatte begsn to ar- rive and mend up thelr onids, wishing to explain the cause of theis failure to bo ‘‘st hems” when the party called at the Fort, It sppears that the hour was fixed through the medium of telephone, and when the message was sont out thero was 0o one at the Fort Omaha end of the telephone. Ounly two of the of- ficers were admitted to Madame Nils. son's apartments, Gen. Carlin and Maj. De Russey. General Howard callod s little later to pey his respaocts, but the lady was too much fatigued to re- ceive him. As in every olty, there waz an in- numerable host of callers, and fully two hundred persons seat up their cards and found it Impoesible to ob- tain an sudience, Some fow auto- graph hunters were around, few sent up requests for admisslon tickets, and two or three asked the great singer, who Is noted fer benevo- lence, for money. This, we are in- formed, is the regular experiencs gono through with everywhers, Manager Oopleson remarked to a Bem re- porter that In one instance & Iady forced her way into Madamo Nilsson's room and asked her to give her a photograph “‘with something nice writton on the back over her autograph.,” The grounds for this request wero that she had herrd madame sing in Earope ten or twelve years ago, It was intended to have attended vorvices at the Swedish Luth- eran church, on Nineteenth and Cass streets, last evening, but Mme, Nilsson found that owing to some exposure during her ride sho had been taken with a slight attack of rheumatism In her right arm, and deemed abmolute quiet necessary to her appearance to-night under favor- able circumstances. Mr, Copleson was therefore sent to the church as the bearer of the lady's regrots. He found the edifice crowded, but managed to make his way to the desk and delivered his message to Rov. Mr, Fogelstrom, who made a suitable explanation to the congre, s A number of the Madam's country- men called upon her during the after- noon and evening, some of thom accompanied bg thelr ladies. Owing to the Indlsposition alroady’mentioned it was impossible to receive them all, and only two were admitted, Judge Anderson and Mr, Victor Landgren, of the Westra Pos- ton, who had a very ploasant Inter- view with the distlogulshed lady, In this oonnootion it will be interosting to state that Judge Anderson and Madsme Nilsson are both from the eame local- ity in Sweden, the neighborhood of ‘exjo, The judge lived outin the country and used often to go to town on market days., On such occasions bhe often saw Nilsson, then a little peasant girl, who came to the same place and sung, accompanying herself on the violin, There were many others who did tho same, but when little Ohristine eaug she bécame at onoe the center of attraction, and was thus remembered by Judge Anderson. Two years later ho was serving his time in the army, being corporal of his com) which was stationed at the s of Kroterg's Hed, The little singer usod eften to go there, where she was a8 popular s in the town of Wexjo, h?ch was sbout twenty-one miles ay. The corporal remembers the sstonlshment among the officers and soldiers wnen it was learned that a great family had taken the young songstress up and sent her away to bocome, ss she eventually did, the greatest singer o the worid, Nilsson Isughed heartily when they recalled the circumstances referred to above, To-day Medame Nilsson will posi- 1} | tively receive noone, but will remain in quiet and practice as usual for the evening concert, The company expect to leave at 8 o'clock to-morrow morn- ing for Bt.

The exact number was not known, but was little less than 6500. Tho evening party was o full dress affair and, as one of the ladies remarked, ‘‘the swelleat party of the ssason.” The Muslcal Union orchestra farnished the muslo, Mra, Kitchen farnished the refreshmonts, which were gotten up in elegant atyle, One of the most onjoyable recep tions of the many which might be re- corded was that given at the residence of Mr. Owen MoCaffcy, on Twenty- third and Harney etreets, Here an elegant table was spread acd replen- ished during the day as often aa it was depleted by the host of oallers, The refreshments included every delicacy of the meazon, and it was the verdlot of all that not! nicer had been seen in the city. Thae Iadies who received here counted uvp over one hundred oallers during che day. In the evening they crowned the day's pleasuro by a delightful party, at which singiug and social en- joyments of all kinds were in order, There was a pleasant reception qnick eonsumption, at tho sge of 19 years, 9 months and 21 days.

Mmanerchor halla presonted a very gey and festive eceno Bun’ay, or rathor early yesterday, when the nooturnal B reporter looked in, at. tracted by ‘‘The dulcet atrains of music floating through the alr” Upon and seworing, and with this end in view he visited the cities of Washing- ton, Baltlmore, Boston, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, New York, Oleveland, end Youngstown, Ohlo, and made s oarefnl note of everything of import. anos to the Intelligent prosecution of pablic improvements in Omah: Mr, Oreighton’s attention was firat directed to the pavement known as *Trioldad Aspheitum.” In Youngstown, Ohlo, he found abont £56,000 squere yards which was Inid during favorable weather the past season, and wns siruck with the beauty, finlsh and apparent strength of its construotion, {‘n Washington city there was more than forty milos of this pavement in use, and this point probebly furnishes the best opportunity for the observance of this pavement from almost every atandpotnt. Tt is there laid upon strests subject to both light and heavy traffio and is placed at somewhat of a disadvantage bo- oaure of tho inferlor nature of the natural foundation. Yet the pavement seems to succcssfully con- tend with this, as with many other adverse circumstances, and stands the woser and tear of time in & remarkable and unexpected manner. In Wash- {ngton the olimate is mild in winter, but very warm in summer, and con- eequently the asphaltum pavement e ohiiged to undergo the test of but one extrome in temperature, that of heat, and it present firm and lovel appear- ance proves to his satisfaction that it hes stood this test without softening to any apprecisble extent. InBostou he was enabled to observe it when it had undergone the other extreme, thet of cold, and it presented the same unchangeabls surface, One thing above and beyond all othera which contributes to the strength and dursbility of ull olasses of pavemont {8 the cheracter of their foundation, and without & good and fiem founda- tion no pavoment can be laid o as to givo natisfaction, There iv quite a large amount of this pavement used in Philadelphis, Now York, Brooklyn and Bslimere, bat 1t presents no festures, difforing to any extent, from the eame clasa of pavement in Washiugton or Boston. In no place did he find this pavement had worn 20 smooth bat what all draft sniwals could travel it with secure foothold, The poiuts favorable to Trinidad asphaltam, which can be truthfully urged, are the following: 1% has very little friction and no jolting or noiss. It {s easily kopt clean, easy to repair and not savere on vehicles, The redominating pavement, how- ver, in all the large cities of the union, except Washington, is ‘‘granite block,” which ia justly es- teemed as the most durable paving material to be found either in this or sny other country, ‘‘Granite blook,” as well as any other pavement, must be 1ald on a firm end good foundation in order that its contour may be pre- served, and when this is accomplished all fears us to its durability may be laid to rest. In examining the size cf the granito blocks now in general use in enstcrn cities, Mr. Creighton was forcibly re minded of the wiedom of our own specifications on this poiot, The blocks used are never more than five inches in width nor more than ten in- ches in Jength, while our specifications perwmit of a block cne foot in longth and ot moro than five inches in width, which makes it better for tho quarrymen, but at the same timse it admonishes oe not te atllow them to go beyoad onr limlt in this respect. There is a veat amount of macadam pavement used in all eastern cities, sud it gonerally gives good eatisfac- uion, sud is probably less mevere on dreait snimsls vban another elass of pavement, & After maturo reflection, based upon esreful exainivation of pavements and paving meterial, he hes roached the conclusion that therv are but thres claeses of paviog & worthy the serioue conslderation of the people of Omzha cr thoir repre- rentulives u the city goverrment and tiese threo ara “‘granite blocks,’ “I'rinidad agphalium” and “‘na- eadam " Of course, we should uatur- ally seleck ‘‘yranite blocke” for the streets cubject (o very heavy traftio, and for strects that aro subject to all ortinary traflic Mr. C. would recom. mend “‘asphaliom” and *‘macadam,” and for stroets running up sud over our hills, &5 well as streets somewhat distavs from the keavy busines centre of the city, he would especially recom- mond macadam pavement. Yiheu the streets on the ‘“‘platesu’’ are pretiy generally paved it will be necessary to protect such pavement from beiig almost wiolly covered up by depost of clay aud other substances brougat from the hillsides during ralpy weath- b, | er or apring thaws, and therefors, fc: the purposo of diverting this flow of clay and e.diment he would recom mond that sewers be consirooted of s0.ae good snbstantial rmaterial, and of an lnside dlameter of not less thau three feot. Mr, Orelghton thinks 1t very da. slrable that our charter be so amend- od ns to empower our city to create a special fund by a levy of not to ex- ooad hva mille, such fund to be used exclusively for making the necessary repaire in pavement, curbing and gaf. tering, @ shou!d &lso have a special foud created by lavy of not to excesd two mills, to bo used fo parking and ornamenting the centers of such out- iug stroets a8 are in width more n suftiolent to sccommodate the making inquiries the soribe found that the causo of oll this “revelry by night” was a prize pretzsl competi: tion, a pastime whioh is always a frals- ful sourcs for merriment on all ooca- sions, but more espacislly on New Yoar's Eve.
