A Glance at the I ords—Habeas € Universityitege —~A Bold Warden's Rec- rpus Case—The s Meeting [PROM THE BEE'S LINCOLN BUREAU.] The Bre has aquick point the effect that atthe next meeting of the city council an ordinance will be adopted creating a puid fire department. 1t time that comething of the kind wus done. Lincoln now has a population of nearly 25,000, and the citizens have mil Jions of dollars invested in business and residence buildings, and stocks of goods The only means of fighting flre at po is the mongrel institution con two paid men and the volunicer cor panies. The fact that no really destructive flres have occurred for a long e does not detract from the face of the prope fion that & chance needed, T'ne voluntesrs have done good service in the pmst, and it i gratifying to know that the ordinanee will not” contemplate their dishandmene, The objeet sought for i a force that will work harmoniously and be under the direction and control of the ¢ ithorities.

The action is one of those peculiar ones in which therc is no real fight between the plaim Gl and defendant.

The Man Who Built the Monitor—A Great Tuventor and Socientific Hermit, at the Advanced 1l Hard o and Hearty Age of 80, and at Work, Tho publication in the Decomber Cen fury of a paper by Ca Ericson on the Monitor and its method of construction, recalls to mind that the public hears very little these days of the at inventor, Joln Eriesson.

When his system has recovered its normal tem- perature he breakfasts upon cges, tea, and course brown bread. Then comes work, and it may be supposed when Ericsson works it is to some purpose, He mibles Edison in his natural in ventive instinet, his thorough originality, and his profound indiflorence, it ot con’ tempt, for the dogmas laid down by tho. learned gentlemen who have spent” o life ngvished no ntr | inthe Taboratory without accomplishing any thing heyond the generation of new erally useless componnds.
