Property owners have petitioned the council for a sewer from First avenue along Pearl street to Broadway, thence down Broadway to Scott streot, and along Scott street to the creek. Sewer- ago is greatly needed at other points also. Tho city should take prompt action for the adoption of some general plan, so that these lesser ones might be made to conform with that.

Arnold against Sei- fert Reife, in which Mrs. Arnold claims 85,000 damages, alleging that her husband, by frequenting the saloon kept by the defendant in Crescent OCity, got into the habit of drinking and became an habitual drunkard.

She claims to have given the defendant no- tice not to let her husband have any more to drink, and that no attention was paid to it, and in view of all these cir- cumstances she thinks $5,000 not any too great an amount for the damages she has suffered.

W. Stocker, of Logan, was at tho Ogden of of esteem, H. Mendel, Esq., | be f The time of life is short; to spend it infully is to be without St. Jacobs A short time ago The Nonpariel in spent much space in attempting to frame an argument that Council Blufls was no place for slaughtering beef, and in fact that there was no good place west of the Misaissippi, and that therefore the talked of enterprise in Omaha would prove a failure, and urged all capitalists to avoid such wild schemes, Tur Bee showed up the fal- us away from this now tries ts hedge—in faot, flops clenr around, and yesterday morning, in speak- ing of the stock yards, says: “‘There has been serious talk and the matter has been duly considered regard- ing the establishment of beef and pork packing houses in_connection with the yards, This would no doubt be a paying investment in itself, and would be the means of drawing stock to this point that otherwise would not come here, besides creating a market here that would be a help to the stock men and abenefft to the city.” On December 15, less than three weeks ago, The Nonpareil declared that it was impracticable to dress beef in Coun- cil Bluffs, and used over a col- umn in presenting figures to show that it was a “‘preposterous proposition,” and that there was ‘‘no more reason or practical sense in the scheme than in the school-boy's first drawing of William Tell in the act of shooting the apple off his son's head with a sling or a mountain howitzer, instead of the proverbial bow and arrow.” It pronounced the proposi- :)i]nn “‘absurd,” ‘‘vaporish,” and ‘‘unrelia- o." Now, by one of those freaky shifts of the wind which characterizes The Non- pareil, it pronounces such a_scheme ‘‘a paying one and a benefit to the city.” e — areh, The remarkable results in a disease so universal and with such a variety of char- acteristics as Catarrah, prove how effectu- ally Hood's Snmplril{n acting through the blood, reaches every part of the sys- tem, A medicine like, anything else, can be fairly judged only by its results.

Burglars Break Into Oliver's Tailor- ing Kstablishment and Fit Themselves, A successful raid was made by burglars on J. Oliver's tailoring establishment on Main street, just south of Broadway, on Thursday night. The fellows gained an entrance by cutting out a pane of gh!!, but, 50 far as can be told by an inspec- tion of the stock left, they were very moderate in their takings. Three pair of pantaloons, a coat and vest are missed. The thieves may, possibly, have got more goods, not yot missed. No clue has been obtained yet to tho evil doers, ity A Word of Caution.

It is a curious fact that of all Chinese cities, Canton, though it is within eight hours of Hong Kong, and has, of all the places in the empire, the longest known Suropeans, has undergone less change than any other great centre of population in China. It remains precisely as it was hundreds of years ago, and when once the wall is passed the traveller might, for all he can sce, be at least a thousand miles from any western influence. The mandarin’s procession, preceeded with tremendous gongs beating, passes through tho streets just as it did centuries past, the criminals are led down to the place of execution, or are beaten with bam boos and cangued just as they always have been, There are similar shops, pagodas, people to those that have always been seon there. Canton and its inhabi- tants undergo no change. And there is be remarked in passing, that since the eighth century have been acquainted with foreigners, they like them no better than they did then, and are as ready to be hostile and aggressive toward them as they ever were. The reasons for this may be various, but one of them undeubtedly is that Cancon is a great seat of learnin the literati of China have always be most determined opponents of foreigners, It is at Canton, indeed, where the great- est examining university of China is to Chinese lad in the south of the empire, determining to be distinguish- ed, has only to go to Canton to gain a reward, if he deserves it. Entering a great hall called the Hoktoi, where t.#lm are provided for more than 3,000 candi- dates, he cansit down and take his chance for the first degree, and supposing that ho passes, is then qualified for a greater examination, This takes place in a huge building, or rather series of buildings, capable of accommodating upward of 10,000 students. On the SAy appointed the youths who desire to pass enter a great gate and find themselves in a vast yard wherein are |13,000 small colls, "Those run in rows, and are numbered; they are each about nine feet high, five and a half feot long, and three foot cight inches wide. Each candidate takes a cell, and at daylight receives a paper with which he must deal without leaving the place. Three thousand policemen and servants are near at hand to see that he does not play any tricks and his head would probably be the per alty if he attempted to do ext morning he hands in his paper and de- for a day's rest, returning twenty- lour hours afterward for more work, and 80 on for three successive trials. At the close of the examination the papers, which are all numbered, are carefully gone through, and the best 130 are seleoted, the writers being at once nomi- nated for distinguished civil service, They must, however, go up to Pekin later on for turther examination, with a view to very high promotion. Now, it 1s a fact that with this plan of separate oells no favoritism is possible, The poorest may win, aud I knew of a case in which the son of a Chinese clerk in & Euroj ‘s office at Canton came in the trial and was at once forwarded to the capital, there to be- come a mandarin of distinction, It should be fair; for the candidates enter at “‘The Gate of Perfect Equity,” hand in their essays at ‘‘“The Hall of Perfect Rectitude,” see them sealed up in **The Hall of Restraint,” and know that they are examined in ‘“The Hall of Auspicious Stars.”— London Telegraph. —— R.
