Omaha is just now being denounced far and wido for the brutal prizo fight that was originated in this city. Neatly overy paper in this state is poin Omaha as the headquarters of rowdyism and depravity, and most of them charge the responsibility for tho prize-fight and subsequent shooting affray directly upon the city and county authorities. Some of tho papers, however, strike the nail on the head by making tho managors of tho Union Pacific railrond equally culpablo with the officers of the law. The Fremont ng to Tribune indulges in the following pointed comment on this disgraceful aftair The prize fight which occarred near Valley the other day between Fell and Hanley was cortainly the most_disgrace- ful affair that ever occured in Nebraska, Not only did the two contestants fight until they were bloody, biuised and boastly, but after the affair broke up the crowd of roughs present to witness the “mill” indulged in a free for all fight. Whiskey flowed ftreely and revolvers wore flourished conspicously. On the train going back to Omaha three men were shot and several fights indulged in making a spectacle which disgraces the fair name of Nebraska and is a travesty upon civilization and decency. This affair was advertised to take place at Omaha but for onco the authori- ties of that city were vigilant enough to prevent its occureence there.

Gov. Sherman's viewsas to where the new Iowa insane asylun should be located, have not yet been given. 1If the Herald has & pump strong enough to bring out this, we should like to seo it. A rew days ago Postmaster Beardsley, of Rock Island, sent out a story that an attempt had been made to rob his oflice, ‘which he had prevented at great personal risk, Recent developments, however, ever, did not put a stop to it. The man- agers chartered a Union Pacific train and ran out in the country by night. The ratlroad company, therefore, should be held responsible for this disgrace. They must have known just what their excur- sion train was wanted for at that untime- ly hour and they made it possible for the bloody work to go on— thoy were parti- ceps eraninis How long are wo to be roproached for these disgraces] How long aro docent people to suffor such ignom'n, Our Fremont cotemporary is eminetly correct. There could have been no prize- fight in Saunders county without the connivance of the railroad managors, The people of that county are now going whe put to the expense of criminal trials which will burden them with neecdless taxes. It was well enough understood among the pugilistic olement that the prize-fight should not take place in this county if the railroads would ac- comodate them. Now that Messrs. Ames and Adams have come all tho way from Boston to inaugurate railway servico reform it will bo ominently proper for them to ascer- tain who among their local officials allowed his sympathy with prizo-ring bullies to go 5o far as to equip a spocial train to carry the bruisers, Whoever that man may be he certainly has placed the road in a very unenviable light, and has shown himsolf unfit for the responsiblo position which he holds, Trar Omaha is sound financially to the core has again been showun during the past week by the stability of our banks and business houses in the face of a finan- cial crash that proved more or less disas- trous in many other cities, Kausas City and St. Joe, for instance, have boasted of the solidity of their capitalists, but now, as in 1873, they were unable to stand the severe strain. St. Joe had one bank failure, and Kansas City banks were on tho verge of going under, only escaping susponsion by offering to pay depositors twenty cents on the dollar and giving certified checks for the balance.

T'he monthly edition for June contains tho tirst three of these stories, which are worth reading, wheth- er or not the reader attempts to decide whether they are written by Mrs. Stowe, ““H.

Henry D Lloyd, in the same number of the Review, shows how every brach of production is coming under the coutrol of *‘Lovds of Industry,” corporations and monopolies Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has an artiole warked by rare philosophic force upon the **Struggle for Lmmortality.” Other articles of not less importance are: “‘Sociological Fallacies,” by Prof. W, G Summer; “*The Rise and Fall of Author w,” by President J.

Dana. Harren's Macazise for June, begin ning the sixty-ninth volume, promises a foretaste of summer in two papers—the one of Europeanand the other of American travel. Mrs. Lillie will write of the famous French watering place, Biarritz, with illustrations from Mr. Reinhart's clever pencil, and Mr. John A. Butler, of “The North Shore” of Lake Superior, which Mr. Chas. Graham illustrates from sketches made last summer. Two papers of much commercial and industrial in- terest will be a careful and comprehen- sive article on the organization and work of the New York custom house, by R, Wheatley, and one on _Sheflield and its trades, by W. H. Rideing, both illustrated. Col. Higginson’s paper will describe ‘‘The Great Western March” of population during the adminia- tration of John Quincy Adams, and will have fine portraits of that president and John C. Calhoun, There will be more of William Sharp's charming j.oems, *‘Trans- cripts from Nature,” with Alfred Parson’s illustrations, as well as further install- ments of William Black's and E. P. Roe's novels, with pictures by Abbey, Dielman and Gibson. The short stories will be *“The Dagger,” a tale of uld Rome, by John McMullen, with illustrations by Fredericks, and ‘A Humble Romonce,” by Mary Ii, Wilkins. Among the mis- cellaneous papers will be an account of Virginia's one witch, Grace Sherwood, and a reminiscence of Abraham Lincoln at Cincinnati, by W, M. Dickson. Tue long-promised new cover appears on the June number of The Manhattan, which may now congratulate itself on having as beautiful a cover as magazine over had. The design, simple and artis- tic, is printed in a rich carnation on an old-gold paper. The contents of the number_are worthy of tho cover. The frontispiece is an airy fgure-pioce, on- titled “‘Spring,” drawn by Mcllhenney and engraved by Juengling, illustrating some lines of Willis Gaylord Clark, An American painter, Henry Roderick New- man, who has long lived in Florence, is the subject of the opening article, written by H. Buxton Forman, Keats and Shelley. Letlers from Mr, Ruskin express his high opinion of New- man's work, and the article is illustrated with a portrait and a number of illustra- tions, Another protusely and brilliantly illustrated article is a second paper on “The Gunnison Country,” by Ernest Ingersoll, who has here surpassed all his previous efforts in graphic description. There are four portraits, illustrating the first part of ‘Retrospections of tho American Stage,” by John Benard, a theatrical manager at Boston, in the carly part of this century, OF “Trajan,” the new novel, there is a second striking mstalment. Edgar Fawcett's “Tinkling Cymbals,” is concluded, and there are two short storics, one *‘A Boston Man,” by Nora Perry. The other short story, *‘Floribel,” is aa amusing sketch. There are two purely literary papers, one on “The DBrownings,” by Miss Kate M. Rowland, of Baltimore. The other liter- ary paper, by J, Heard, is a singularly cogent argument argument to show *‘Why Women Should Study Shakespeare.” The pootry comprises such names as Celia Thaxter, John Vance Cheney and Louise Chandler Moulton. The *‘Recent Liter- ature” has some able notices of new books, In the “Town Talk” there is a solution of the vexed question as to who is “‘Obermann,” made famous by the New York Zribune hoax, and there are some laughing things in *Salmagundi.” Miss GREATOREX, whose talents as o painter of flowers aro fully recognized, has recently comploted a study of Chry- santhemums for Mr. L.
