The Most Elegant and Delightful Musical Entertalnment of the Season Those who failed to eee and hear the London bell ringers at the opera house last evening missed a “‘mighty good thing.” The company is without doubt the best group of bell ringers in the world, and thelr music is “‘simply delicious.” Selections from national and popu- lar airs, parts of operas, imitations of various kinds and every specles of entrancing music were performed most exquisitely, eliciting round after round of the most hearty applause ever heard in the opera house. The rendering of the ‘“‘Turkish Patricl” and the *‘Ding Dong” chorus from the Chimes of Normandy, which are to be repeated this evening, brought down the house, while a dczan other seice- tions, among which wero ‘‘Les’ Rose of Summer,” “Rory O'More,” ‘‘Blue Bells of Scotland,” “Robin Adair,” —The sleighing grows better with each | etc., were hardly less enjoyable. succeeding touch cf tho Manitoba wave, —The wenther moderated considerably Iast night and there was @ light fall of enow early in the eveuing with prospects of plenty more within twenty-four hours, The members of the company are every one artiste in their live, and the director, Mr, Miller quite a wag in his way, amusing the audience with his odd English ways and quaint saying.

They Are Not so Heavy as They Might Be. A Bmall but Appreciative Au- dience Greet the Far Famed Sluggers. Contrary to tke expectation of a majority of the Omaha sports, the celebrated sluggers, Mace and Slade, came in over the Union Pacifie yester- day afternoon and went immediately to the Paxton, Of course every one knows that Mace s anold rounder, he having been tho ‘‘world’s cham- pion” some ten or twelve years ago. He went to Avstralta about eight years ago, since which time his name has been comparatively unknown in pugilistic ofrcles in this country. The recent enconnter between Sul- livan and Paddy Ryan has given an opporturity for all the ex-champions of the world to come out of their holes and conteet eithor by word of mouth or by hippodromatic subterfuges the world-wide reputation of the now world-known Sullivan, Tho citizens of Omaha were ap- pris:d of the coming of these much horalded giadiators yesterday by Prof, Yager's band, which pnraded the streets ina wigon drawn by eight horses, The public, or at least that portion of it which ventured upon the strect, wera thuo apprized that the sluggere, after a tedious and weary delay of watching and waitivg by the people, were in our midst.

On the reverse side was the pro- gramme cf the benefit tendered Miss Ahl Pals, which will take place at the Stadt theatre, on Sunday evening next, and the card was a very pretty souvenir for thoee who received it.

The Denver train camo in nearly on time, and all other trains are making sched- ule time, The weather moderated some yesterday, and being clear and calm, the tracks can all be opened up at once. IN OTHER LANDS, The following statistica ¢f the good old Euaropean winters are curlous, and 4o to show that the cold snap here was a8 nothing to some that have been experlenced heretofore in other lands. In 408 the Black sea was entirely frozen over. In 761 not only the Black sea, buat the straits of the Dar- danelles were frozen over; the snow in some places rose fifcy feet high, In 822 the great rivers (f Europe—the Danube and Elbe, etc.— were 8o hard frozen as to bear heavy wagons for a month, In 860 the Adriatlc was feozen. In 992 everything was frozen; the crops totally failed, and famine and pestilence closed the year. In 1067 most ¢ f the travelers were frozen to death on the roads In 1133 the Po was frozan from Cremona to the nea; the wine casks were burst, and even the trees split by the action of the frost with immense noise, In 1236 the Danube was frozen to the bottom, and remained long in that state. In 1316 the crops wholly failed in Germany; wheat, which some ycars before sold in Eogland at 63 the quar- ter, rose to £2, In 1339 the crops falled in Scotland, and sach a famine enoued that the poor were reduced to foed on grass, and many perished mie- erably in the fields. The succeseive winters of 1432-'33-'84 were uncom- monly severe. It once enowed forty days without Interruption. In 1468 the wine distributed to the soldiers in Flanders was cut with hatcheta, In 1864 the winter was excessively cold. Most of the hollies were killed. Coaches drove along the Thames, the ice of which was eleven inches thick. Ta 1709 ocourred the cold winter. The frosts penetrated thres yards into the ground. In 1715 booths were erected and fatrs held on the Thames, In1744 and 1840 the strongest ale in Eugland, exposed to the frcss air an eighth of an inch thick, In 1807, and again in 1812, the winters were remarkably cold. In 1814 there was a fair on the frozen Thames. THE NORTHERN PACIFIC, George W. Cashing, superintendent of the Northern Pacific railroad, ar- rived in Chicago recently, and stated that only three hundred miles re- mained to be lald to complete the maln line of that road. At present thirteen thousand men were at work on the road, of which number eight thousand were Chinamen employed on he western divisions. The Yeilow- stone Park branch, from Livingston south, will be enmpleted early in June, October 1, 1883, was the date fixed for the road to be completed and tralns running from St, Paul to Port- land. THE DENVER AND RIO GRANDE. The Boeton Transcript combats vigorouely the report that the Chi- cago, Burlington & Quincy railroad has an idea of purchesiog the Denver & Rio Grande, and says any company buying the Denver to control its east- ern treflic would find it a worse than worthless road before it could got a deed to the property, fur the Atchison would quickly put a broad gauge lne through the Grand canyon of the Ar- kaneas to Leadville, aud would also have a broad gauge line into Denver, APPOINTMENTS, J.

Ten cents for any color WITH BREATH OF FLAME A Ne@ro Who Can Ignite Combustible Material by Simply Breath- ing Upon It An lavestigation of a most exiran- dinary freak ot nature, or what pears to be sach. will take place this evening at the Rosh Medical collage. Some tiwe ago a mulatto rawed Un- derwood arrived here from Michigan, and it soon became known that he claimed to be sble to produce flame by breathing upon combustible article. This power, it was said, he had always posseszed, and that the fact was well koown to his associates. A Mr. Cromley, residicg at 242 West Van Buoren street, became ln(emt_ed in the man, and after satisfying himself THE SNOW BLOCKADE. ———— 1 that he could, to all seeming, do what was claimed, had him examined by wedical men with the object of ascertaining whether the flame was, as Underwood him:zelf iosisted, produced by the breath or by artificial and cunningly concealed means, So far as the tests nave gone they have failed to demorstrate that any fraud Is practised. Although carefally watched, and 8o situated that deception would appear impossi- ble, Underwood produces fiame at will. How 1t is done, or to what pe culiar condition of his organization his extraordinary power is due, has not been explained. The test that will take place this evening is designed to be more elaborate than any that have preceded it. Underwood will be prepared for It by the phyeicians, who will adopt measures to effectually neutralize the «fict of any artifice be fore allowing him to produce the flame, On Friday evening last Mr. Coom- ley took Underwood to the resideuce of Mr. Eogene Howe, at 1149 West Taylor street, where he exhibited his strange faculty In the presence of a fow of the friends of the last named gentleman, This fact being made dnown to The Herald, a reporter called on Mr, Howe last evening to learn what transacted. “Me, Coomley {8 my uncle,” said Mr. Howe to the reporier, ‘‘and he brought the man here in order that he might exhibit his powers.” “‘What is your opinion of the thing? Is there any trick?” “‘No, I don’t think there can be.” *‘What does he do? Does ba pro- duce an cctual flame or is it a slow combustion of the article he sets on fire?’ ‘Tt is a real flime—a blaza,” Mrs. Howe was present, and at this stage eho left the parlcr, returning amoment later with part of a hand- kerchief, in which there were two holes that could have been produced by nothing but flame. The edges of these holes were surrounded with black, charred linen, while further awey the fabric was scorched brown as If by the heat of the burning part “‘Will you explain how Underwood did this 1" “‘Certainly, When our friends ar- rived he took the handkerchicf and held it to his mouth for a while, and then the flame appoared,” *‘Was its appearance instantaneons, or did it require some time to prcdace the effect 7" “Ho held the handkerchief to his mouth for one minute and twenty sec: onds before it canght fire,” “Did it seem to you that any effre was neccessary!" “‘Yes, something of the kind. He was very much exhausted when he got through, Ho says that he nrever does it more than once or twice in any one day, because it exhausts him so much,” D es ho nay anything of any other eff ¢ I “‘He complains of a pain_in the cheat here,” (putting his hand on the lower part of the cheat, “‘Ho has always been able to do his!” Ve, But nobody thought it was anything but a trick, As he saye, peoplo used to eay, ‘it was 8 pretty clover trick for adarkey to do.” Ho is as anxious s anyone to know what cavser the phenomernon.” “Ts he a large, muscular man?” “‘No, he isnot. He is not puny, but slender " Mrs. Howe explained to the report- cr that the handkerchief was folded geveral times, so that there were sev- eral thickneeses burned throvgh, The greater part of it was torn up and die- tributed among persons who were present at the test. It was also stat- ed that Underwood’s pulse was timed before the test and found to be beating at therate of eighty pulsations to the minute. After the test it was seventy to the miaute, or ten beats slower. Mr. Howe added, however, that the pulsations were counted immediately after the test, perhape & minute elaps- ing before it was done. e Beat cholce roll butter, 25c a pound, at J.
