Tho request is also made that the govercor appoint one com- missioner from Nebraska to represent the state at the celebration. Yesterday the governor forwarded a formal accept- nnce of the invitation and will go east in Beptember to attend the celevration. The governor also appointed yesterday William M. Robertson, of Madiscn, as the commissioner to represent Nebraska at the gathering. The following is the letter of invitation to the governor: Governor John M. Thayer: We request your presence as the guest of the constitutional centennial commission in the celebration to be held In thecity of Phila- delphia on the 15th, 16th and 17th of Septem- ber next in commemoration of the centennial anniversary of the framing and promulga- tion of the constitution of the U The president of the United S present and preside on the i7th. morial address will be delivered by Mr. Ju: tice Miller, of the supreme court of the United States, and there will be a commem- orative poem by & national poet. The pro- gramme of the military and industrial dis- plays, of ofiicial entertainment, and of other ceremonies will appear hereafter and will be ‘worthy of the great occasion. We trust that the universal reverence of our people for the cupreme charter of their liberties will tind exprossion in their offleial ropresentation by the governors of all the states and territorie: ‘We carnestly request that your excellency will cause the militia of your state to be pres- ent, uniformed and equipped, at the celcbra- tion to take part in the vrand parade of the military and naval forces of the Unitea Stotes and the military of the states and ter- ritorles. Joun A. K President, iSON, Secretarv. From the letter it will be soon that the gathering is to be of more than ordinary interest and a_ display that will do the event justico. Nebraska will not, how- ever, be represented 1n o military way, as theroe are no funds to transport com- venies and no organ on that could make a creditable showing in connection with other states. There will undoubt- edly be a large number of visitors from Nobraska in attendance. STATE HOUSE NOTES. A farmer from Gage county was at the live stock commussion oflices yesterda bringing information of a disease similar to hoof rot that is creating much excite- ment and from which a number of cattle have died.

Secretary of State Laws is at home from a visit on business outin the Re- publican valley section of the state. A 0US ACCIDENT. A citizen named James Ives, who lives E ith a serious run- away accident'and was considered yester- day in a precarious condition. In the runaway Ives was thrown from a wagon, striking against a tree and falling on the hard walk. The fall broke several ribs and shook the breath nearly out of him. As he is a man who will tip the beam at nearly 200 pounds avoirdupols, it will be readily perceived that the fall was no light ‘one. Dr. Carter has the injured man in charge. TIk PUBLIC LIBRARY. At the Tuesday evening session of the city council the annual report of the trustees of the city library was presented and filed. The report shows that the li- brary is well patronized and is deserving of more attention and financial aid than it has received the past year. By the re- port the expenditures are shown to have #1,673.15 for the year ending June 80, and the book fund has been added to $285.49 in the way of fines and tickets sold. While the purchase of books has been light the library is on asound finan- oial basis and the estimate of the trustees, asking for £3,205 for the ensuing year, is noue too large. VIOLATIONS OF WATER ORDINANCES, The water commissioner is greatly an- noyed by people who persistently violate the watcr ordinance and sprinkle lawns at every and any hoar of the day. The commissioner keeps close watch and brings violators to time whenever he can find them out, and it 18 absolutely neces: saryat the present low water stage in the well that these violations cense. There would be more violators fined if people secing the violations going on would ir form the commissioner and not kKeep silent just because it may be a neighbor.

E Lora Campbell, though opposed to *'the habitual sonking of port e or whisky punch,” expresses himselt in lus autobio- frflplly favorably toward “‘an occasional hooze,’’ as having *‘a tendency to excite the faculties, to warm the affections, to improve the manners, and to form the character of youth.''

Dinners a la russe were unknown, heavy joints were the rule, and the art of carv- ing an indispensible accomplishment, light entrees were called ‘‘kickshaws,' and were scorned as krench, and there- fore contemptible. Duelling had gone out in 1837, and swearing was still the ornament of many a ‘‘gentleman’s con- versation.” Education was far lower then, and morals were, not as a rule, so high.

N says: “We have scen his long tusks divide a dog like a sword—we have seen a panther so terribly wounded that the poor cat crept off in despair to die, while the hog recked not of flowing blood from his own neck and shoulder, but proudly challenged a renewnl of the tight. At Tocoi lately & hog made it a point to stand on the track whenever he saw the locomotive coming, and the con- sidorate engineer stopped for four suc ive days to drive him off. At last, tired of humanity which arroused no gratitude, the train hands assembled to sce that hog demolished. He was on the track awaiting his duom--an extra speed was drawn from fat pine hurled to the furnace with mulice prepense. The hog rmsed his head in surprise when no stop was made, and sceing his danger, startod at a gallop down the track. In vain the engine rushed for- ward in maddemng speed till the cos rocked and Iadies screamed in ror. ‘When the train reached Palatka the hog was leisurely eating corn at Vertrees' stable. That hog i: nce been struck by-lightning, so that he is a race-horse.

They swept off the dogs and charged over the hunters-blankets, guns, cooking utensils and fishing rods beeame things of the past and stout men took refuge in the boats. Then, to save the dogs, revolvers entered into the fray, and finally the fierce grunters moved oft in search of pastures new. With the early dawn came a long, lean man, who carried a rifte as long as himself, and he assessed the damages, which the hogs should have paid, and carried off the slain, which the victors did not want.

Chambers Journal: That a man should lose his life through the pronunciation of a vowel scems hard; but such really was the case, In the year 1718, Williams, a Welsh actor, and Quin were playing to- gether at the Lincoln’'s Infie theater in the tragedy of *‘Cato,” Williams playing Decius to Quin’s Cato. The former en- tered with *'Cwesar sends health to Cato;™ but he mincingly pronounced the name of Cato Keeto. Quin, who gave a broad, classical enunciation to the letter “‘a” in the word, was offended, and instead of revlying, *‘Could he send it to Cato's siaughtered friends, it would be wel- come,'’ he exclaimed,'‘Would he had sent a better messenger.”” The Welshman was boiling with rage, and when Catore- sumed with, **Are not your orders to ad- dress the senate?'’ he could hardly held replying, My business is with Keeto.” 1n the short scene he had to repeat the name ten times, and each time it would come Keeto. Quin had to repeatit as often, but delivered it with a Lroad sound and signigeant look which nearly took the Welshman off his f brought laughter from all sides of the house. When they met in the green rcom Williams assailed Quin for render- ing mim ridiculous in the eyes of the audi- ence.

Coming within our own day is the strange duel related to have been fought by the celebrated tragedian., Signor Kossi. The Ilatter, during a_farewell performance of “‘Hamlet'" at Casale, was considerably mterrupted by the talk of the court society present, In the middle of a sentence the tragedian stopved, and turning toward a front box from which the greatest noise proceeded, he bowed, and quietly said: I shall not pro- ceed so long as you do not hush.” The publicapplauded; the interruption ceased and the play went on. But afterward Rossi was met at the stage door by & younfi senllenmn,who felt called ||{wm to ask for satisfaction. The tragedian made rather a long face, for he was ex- pected on the morrow at Milan; so he suggested that, in order that the little af- fair might be seitled a8 speedily as possi- ble, they should go to his (Rossi's) rooms at the hotel and quietly shoot at one an- other there. This proposition having been acccepted they went to Rossi's rooms, and had just placed themselves at either end of the salon, to exchange three shots, when the inkeeper, over- anxious as to his guest's health and hours, knocked at the door, which, find- ing locked, he anxiously inquired if the 8i rnurlw:u ill, as his light burned unus- e. replied Rossi, “I am going to nks, Good night.” e deceiving me,’” persisted the innkeever, perhaps enlightened as to the 'enc ait the theatre, “'you are certainly *Go to bed,” returned Ro: “I am putting out the light;” and in a_lower tone he added to his antagonist, *“This is the only way out of it—blow out the candles.” “What!

He never offers barguins, nor throws out leaders, but drives along i the old way. He has never asked for an extension, or compremised, or failed, but has always paid his bills promptly, dollar for dollar.
