Her comploxion was brown, her cheeks were high and projecting, and her hair was jet black. Sto was plainly dressed, and probably the most expensive acticle of ature she wore was her large, brown varnished straw hat surrounded by a purple feathor. As she lovked acound the station wonderingly, and her Littlo boyat her side olung haif-frigh tened to her dress, it was easy to see sho was stranger in Chicago, Approaching one of the men nbout the depot, she asked sevoral questions, shook her hand gravely once or twice, and then with downward head, as if she were in tears, led the boy slowiy up the stairway to Canal street, where she stood for a few minutes gazing alternately to all points of the compass, “That seems to be & kind of a hard case,” said the depot-hand whom she had been questioning. **She has come with OMAHA DAILY e by & woman whom he took to be & ve table wanne. The half breed lady fron the west had taken the usunl method of cornerning her husband by ATOUSING every mAn in the house until she found the onesha wanted. T her sz ple way sho had argued that Mer. Thomas, caucht with his day clcthes on, might run away aud leave her again, bat that Mr, Thomas, cornered in his night-clothes, would bo ¢ different person to deal with; and sho was right, for he neither attempted to run away nor to deny that he was the missing hus band and father. | — THE BARTHOLDISTATUE, What Paris is to France and Rome to Ttaly, New York is to Ameriea.

You aee, this is how it is She is a half-bree t Indian, and married a white man-—a laborer on the railroad, When the man's job was_finished he de- serted her and her child and left her penniless. She learned from some of the uther laborers that he had gone off to Chicago, and without kuowing anything about Chicago, except that it was a pretty big village somewhere in the east, she silently went home, dressed herself and her boy, aud boarded the first train to this city. A STRANGE TRAVRLER. “The conductor was telling me all about her, When he asked her for her ticket she looked scared and said she hadn't avy, but if he wouldn't take her along to Chicago she ana the boy would just step out and walk—walk, mind you, to Chicago from Nebraska. Well, this kind of staggered the conductor, who be- gan to question her, She said she was gring to ind her husband, whose name was Thomas, and that she didn’t expect there would be any difficulty in finding him, as he would probably be workiug among the other )aborers on the new track at Chicago. You see, she thought Chicago was some village where the rail road was going to be laid for the firat time. Well, the conductor, a kind hearted fellow, didn't like to turn her off the cars and he went among the other passengers and told them how the rquaw, us ho called her, was going to talk & walk to the ‘village of Chicago’ to find her husband, who had skipped out and left her alone with a boy. “The word was passed around and in an hour Mrs. Thomas had not only her fare paid, but a few dollars over to get her food on the trip and still leave her some money to get a! ng with in Chicago for a day or so anyhow. For two days she sat in the car, speaking to nobody and staring blank in front of her, and 1t wasn't until the third that she ventured to ask the conductor if she wasn't going out of her way and mightn't have passed Mr. Thomas on the road. There goes the ‘equaw”and her ‘pappose,” alongside the fence up there,” concluded the depot- { | man, “‘and I expect they'll have a time of it before they chance upon Mr, Thomas in the streets of Chicago.” SEEKING THE SQUAW'S HUSBAND, The same night the guests of a small hotel on South Canal streat were thrown into consternation by singular awaken- ings, and at breakfast next morning they exchanged stories about their experiences towards the witching hour ¢f midnight. One said that he was sound asleep in bed when he found himself grabbed by the feet. By the dim light he thought he beheld a giautess tugging at the bed- clothes and heard a sepulchral voice saying, “You are my husband; you come with me.” Another said that in his room there were three fellows sluep- ing, when all of a sudden they wero awakenod by being pushed and hauled about. They sat up simultaneously and asked, ‘“‘What in thunder is the mat- ter?" and a voice replied, *Which of you mans is my husband 1” Al in turn c demned the spectre roundly for its it trusi n, and it glided away with a kind of pgrunt; but a few seconds afterwards they heard a series of yalls, and the clerk of the hotel came tearing down the corri dor with a wild-looking woman at his heels. He was in his night-clothes. She caught him by the hair and he yelled again, She pulled him under the kerosene light. He begged wildly for mercy. Gazing steadily into his face for a few moments she pushed him away from her with a gesture of dis gust and_said, *You aint no the man I want.” By this time the whole hotel had been aroused, and a crowd of half-d:ess- ed people came out of ther rooms into the halls to see what the matter was. The tall woman with phenomenal strides swept past them all until she came op:.osite a stout-huilt middle-eized man with shaggy black whiskers and a pair of Canton cot- ton drawers, who was standing in one of the doorways. Clutching him frantically around the nech, and then sliding down to the ground until she caught him by the knees, she called out, *‘O, Thomas, I got you! T knowed I'd get you, Thomas! 0, Thomas, don't never leave your poor wife and baby no more—your poor bab; Thomas—your poor little baby, Thomas In the meantime the man addrested as Mr. Thomas 10covered from his first as- tonishment, gave a whistle, and then said in a tone of the most ineffable dis- gust, “Wal, I'll be dogg Shoot mo if taint the squaw BACK TO NEBRASKA. Next day Mr, Thymus and his wife and child took tickets back to Pawnece City. It appears that after leaviog tae Union depot Mrs, Thomas wandered southward a long distance, asking peo ple here and there whether they could tell her where Mr. Thomas was. She hajpened to meet an elderly man to whom she told, in pathetic broken Eng lish, the story of her desertion; and he, d darned! - i to bo of brouze, and, when monnted upon ita base and_pedestal, will catch the breezs at the height f thres hundrid and Ewoaty-uing feot!

B A Henry Georgo on Our Farmers, Mr. Henry Goorge turns very cieverly on his critics, who say that his great land scheme may find adherents in Kngland, where so few have a stake in the land, but not in this country, where so many own small faxms that a reform such as he proposes would be hopeloss. He shows by the last census that there are in United States, engaged in agricultural pursuets 7,670,403 porsons (men women and children(, out of 17,392,000 engaged in gainful occupations. Out of these he figures there rre less than 3,000.C00 pro. prietors, Of these again, he thinks that fully one-half are mortgaged so as to have little, if any, equity in the land they are supposed to own, He poiuts out, also, that through the operation of iuventions, machinery, low- er rates to large shippeas, and the like, the large farmers have a decided advan. taes over the smaller ones, He maye: ‘‘To talk as some do, about the bonanza farms breaking up in a little while into small Zomesteads is as foolish as to talk of the great shoe factories giving wey to the journeyman shoemaker with his lap- stones and awls. The bonanza farms and great wire-fenced atock ranche have come to stay.” The inevitable effect of these two causes ts to differentiate agricultur- ista into two classes, *‘the capitalist farm- es and the farm laborer”, the latter con- stantly increasing in numbers and becom- iog more and more, nomadic and clan- nish in habit, Sanord’s Radical Curp! Bloaching of Flax, Eastern textile manufacturers continue to feel very much interented in the lately discovered bleaching process, by which cottor, flaxaud ramie osn be bleached in the fibre in a few hours. The chief resson why the American farmers have not attempted to utilize flax straw, is tho great amount of labor the bleaching and drying in the field requires. Cheap labor is one of the essential requirements to make the utilization «of flax profitable under the old process, Under the new prooess the straw is subjected to but a single operation by the new bleaching compound, whish, it is asserted, does not injuve the strength of the fibre. Flax treated in this manner has so much the appearance of weol that it deceives even experts. It is therefore proposed to use it with wool, and a8 it does not shrink the adulteration will prevent the shrink- ageof goods manufactured out of the com- bination. The discovery, if it proves practical, will make the manufacture of linén goods very profitable.
