Inthe first place, electricity is a thing wysterious, little understood and re- garded with almost superstitions awe by the general masses, while those who un- derstand it best stand in wholesome fear of it. But,if there is one | v vrized more highly than any other by the fean citizen, it is that of free 8] h. Therefore, each and every one luu felt at perfect liberty to comment on the towers, and competent to explain all about what he did not understand to anyone who would listen. These tow- of which ther mpleted, a®e certainly odd looking structures, A light-looking triangular iron frame bearing at its top 150 feet from the ground, a grating or platform and just above that four cross arms, from which the lights are to suspend; the whole supported by a single iron’ post, ubout the size of a street lamp post. verybody knows that the electrie lamps need daily attention. How to get to the top of the tower is the first ques- tion that suggests itself to one on first secing it. Kxamination shows the iron frame to be made of three iron gns pipes, braced and eross- raced by iron rods. One of the Fip s s studded with spikes so as to orm a ladder, and |l is not uncommon to hear a man say, “Well, I wouldn’t climb that thing every day all winter for all the money in Council Bluffs.,” A man would, hiave to hang on when the thermom&ter is twenty below, the wind blowing and the full of snow. He'd frecze to death b ould get to the top.” Another tower lower or the sal U'd clean those lamps eve halloonatic,after taking i from a safe distance, made a proposal to My Ofticer to furnish aballoon in which the attendant could make his daily us- cent. It does look a little shaky. and it would be an impossibility to ¢limb the ladder every day, but these is no nee d of it, for h tower is fitted with a wire cable elevator so balunced by a weight that the elevator and the attendant can be carried to the top without eveu the lubor of hoisting himself. His work done, he reverses the motion, and with istance from him himself is d to the ground. By means of heis able to complete levator, and eve ' taken to make the ble. The ladder is only for us of emergency, so that by nt could the attendant left 150 feet up in the air with nothing but wind to subsist upon. The iron standard of the tower is firmly planted in a bed of mason work. A derrick is erected, the top section ned together, and by the de cd about twelve feet into the air, a tion of gas pipe about cight feet long is then serewed into euach of the three securely braced and the de vick hoisted again repeated.

When the structure has reached a proper height it is fustened to a standard, the guy ropes are replaced by -"IIL twisted iron cables, which ave fastened at different heights and secured to posts in the ground, which prevents all sw The contract requires six of {1 ers, besides the lights on the house, fourth now, so it will not be long before the city will be lighted by electricity. Of course there are many doubters who foretell that the system will not work well, as the towers are too high or too low. But experience has shown that a height of 150 feet affords the best re- sults. If placed too low the light isin- tercepted by buildings, and if placed too high it is too much diffused. The near future will solve all questions that now arise, and for the sake of the city it is to be hoped they be satisfactorily answered. ———— Sermon At St. Paul's. Last evening the Rev. Dr. Mackay spoke to the young men. His address was thoroughly practical and was lis- tened to by a large audience—mostly coung men. The subject chosen was tevenson’s Strange Tale, or the Con- fession of Dr. Jeckyll,” a brief* sketch of which was given. Dr. Jeckyll a man possessed of more than average goodness of heart and life, yct possessed of a strong liking for pleasure. During his chemical investigation he acc dentally discovered a compound, by the use of which, taken into the system, he became so metamorphosed as to keenly enjoy these pleasul and which changed his physical appearance so that no one would know him. He also discovered another drug which would reduce him to his normal self again, Thus he could act a double life without fear of discove named his second and ununatural self Tdward Hyde. Thus for ars he led this dual life, Tho more . Hyde was indulged the stronger he became, the weaker to resist temptation, be- came the good doctor. Ile tried many times to overcome his temptation, but each trial resulted in the downfall of the good and the dominance of the evil. The evil finally became so powerful that Mr. Hyde committed murder, for which act the good doctor became so con- science stricken that life torture, This strange story ends iu the suicide of the good Dr. Jekyll. Applying the tale Dr. tinued: *'It is not a mere to amuse an idle hour, If s author’s intention he ha than he knew, for it conts est teaching and the most awfully solemn truths in the shape of a st that it has ever been my lot to read, W can read the sad confession of doctor Jekylland not feel that- the author is drawing a faithful picture of the con- flict that is ever going on in the nature of man. The conflict between the good and the evil—the Godside and the devil side—for ,refine it as we may, there is a devil side in man, *“Many a m vol- untarily,” as the author , 'strips himself of the hallowing instinets by which even the worst of us continues to walk with some steadivess nmong temp- tations, and does evil with a keen sense of pleasure.” So close is the dividing line in many a man between good and evil that to he (vlh‘\lml, however slightly, is to full, Could we obtain the confession of any noted criminal we would find it to Inmu'llun pre: sume principle, 1. e. fiest the conilic then the te —the longing—then it is being court and the men are at work on the key con- ale written h was the tten wiser the grand- Sy, mperin the resolve, and then the fall, The higher our inspirgtins after puvity and righfeousness of life the move feai- Paul was 2 than other the conflict become at ) in Christ Jesy nature, re condition w “Hear Paul “I am caral, in upon his aled to him what bis true iscribe his condition: Sold under- sin, - For what I would do, that I do not, but what L hate, that I do.” Tn this we hear the repugnance of Dr. Jekyll for the evil of Mr. Hyde; the hatrod of the good nature for the evil ul the bad, © “Henry " ways the author, ‘‘stood, & times, nyhnn before the acts of Edwar Hyde." So before the mun becomos thoroughly hardened does he stand appulled at the iniquity of his own nature. St Paul says: “Now then, it f# no more 1 ihat do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.” So reasoned Dr. Jekyll: “It was Hyde and Hyde alone that was guilt; 80 every man rea- sons: A little indulgence will not hurt me. It is only allowing a little liberty to one side of my nature, the other will not suffer. St. Paul admits all that. He goes even further, “For Tknow that in me"—that is my flesh—‘‘dwelleth no good thing, for to will is present \\nh me, but how to perform that which ix good 1 find not. “Now if | do that I would not it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.” This,St.Paul declares tobe a law of our being. I find another law, viz: “When I would do good evil is present with me.” “For I delight in the law of God after the in- ner man.” Yes, Paul, so does every man in the beginning; but I see another law in my members waring against the law of my mind and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in memb i says Dr. Jekyll, one, but truly two. I Saw two natures that contended in the field of my sciousness even if I could be suid to be either “is not truly that of the it was onl because I was ically both.” Whata commentar Paul’s agonized expression: \\ ho shall deliver me from the body of this death?” It was the curse of ¥m- manity that these two incongruous fagots were thus bound together; that in the agonized womb of consciousness these polar twins should be continually struggling, This strange book is not an unnatural one, but a faithful portrayal of the struggles of a highly gifted human nature. Such a charact vealed in the history of Saul, king of the Jew favored, with noble, generous impuls and dark, jealous, revengeful passi struggling against his evil spivit and nd yet loving to give way to it. ger to obey the commands of God, isobeying them, and at 1 ill balanced life, from the death he ? by selt destruction.

In greater or less degree the struggle goes on in every child of mi In him who resists tho couflict is ennobling.

Says Sidney Smith: st A man In;:hly S, “If we wish to know who1s~ the most degraded and most wretched of human beings; if we want to see how man can reach; deep the miseries of if this be an object of cur look for the man who has ced a vice so long that he curses and clings to it that he pursues beeause he fecls a gre: law of his nature driving him on tow- ards it, but reaching it, knows that it will gnaw his vitals and make ‘him roil himself in the dust with anguish.” *Oh, young man just starting out i life, be warned in time Cou within you your worst foe.

In the silence of your own heart the Dattle must be fought and lost or won. Lost it need not be if you arc only faith- ful.” The speaker closed with a powerful and eloguent appeal and showed that the warfare need net be without help. He quoted numerous scripture zes which promise divine assistance. “God will not use his power so a8 to crush the power of choice.” Eve man must chose for himself and this rests upon himself alone. earth has ever fought this battle alone and won. God will help you and a glor- ious victory will be yours.” — A PRE-HISTORIC CITY. Once of 25,000 Inhabitants Now But a Relic of Ethnological Interest. A letter from Arizona, printed in the ‘Washington Post, gives information of an exceedingly interesting and valua- ble ethnological find muade by Mr. Frank H. Cushman,of Zuni fame, the ust summer in Arizona. It seems he has discovered a pre-historic city in the Salt river valley, about eighty miles northwest of Tuecson. Inquiry made to- day at the office of the Powell geologi- cal survey elicited full confirmation of the printed report, together with inter- esting additional information about the great find. Prof, Cushman is at pres in southern California, lying extremely ill, but the force he put at work during the summer exhuming the buried city are still encamped on the spot continu- ing their explorations. The camp is located on the edge of the unearthed city and about 300 yards from what was itscitadel, or fortified temple. This is believed to have been a building of considerable size and strength, probably several stories high, and had its foundation laid deep in the earth, The material used in its con- struction was sun-dried clay, the same as that used by the Mexicans of the lower and middle classes and before Mr. Cushman began his explorations there was nothing to mark its whereabouts, except a sort of oblong hillock or mound. Little of the walls above the foundation were found intact, but the ground plan could be traced in every detail, as well as the lines of the outer 1 rooms were of different si secmed to have been constructed with much architectural skill. A number of the smaller apartments had _undoubtedly been constructed for burial vaults, for when they were opened up skeietons were found in them, the heads being invariably to the east., Inone of these vaults waf the skeleton of a child, Mr. Cushman was of the opinion that the building had bheen a sort of combined citadel and sacred temple, and that the yemains of those found there were those of pricsts and their families, The city extended out in all directions from the palace or temple, and the foundations of numer- ous dwellings had been exposed, many of them consisting of but one room; but now and there is one of larger and more ample proportions, and in most of these larger ones there had been found burial vaults and skeletons. Two thousand of these have been exhumed al- ready according to the letter in the Post, but it is thought by the officials of the geological survey that this is a misprint for two hundred. A greatdeal of pottery has been taken out, of course, No iron, copper, or metal instrument of any kind was found, but great guanti- tics of stone axes, stone pestles and mortars, bone needles and knives and other such materials as belong to the stone age, The skill with which these articles were made was far superior, however, than that shown by the In- dians found in America by the whites. These pre-historic dwellers of southern Arizona were a people of very superior intelligence, Mr. Cushihan has found & good deal of wheat and barley and_other gain, all of it. of course, in & charred, blackened conditiod, and he has ulnoll‘m ced several cunats and found the ruins of a large reservolr, 50 that Le has no doubt that extensive irri ntmn had been carried on, and that u tfi valley had been un- dof cyltivation. He thinks there must have been a population of at least 25,- 000 in the rumfis city, and that most of the inhabitants lived by oultivating the eoil of the surroundsng country. Cushman was questioned as fo his the- ory about the complete disappearance of }he poople who occupied this city, 1 think,” said he, ‘‘they su ered from some great calamity like the in- inhabitants of Herculanwum and Pom- il. It was probably an_ earthquake. have found skeletons under the walls of houses lying as if the walls had sud- denl{ fallen upon the person and crushed him to death. Yes, I think there came a terrible earthquake which killed many and frightened the remain- der away. "They were no doubt a reli- gious people and strongly supersitious, 80 that they saw in the calamity that befell them a warning to seek some other abode. They probably moved south, and it may have been their de- scendants that the Spaniards found in Mexico. They were certainly equal in lntolhxnm'e and advancement to the Aztecs.” P The Brothers and the Beauty. Cornhill Magazine: Two brothers met a lady dressed in blue, whom they had never seen before, at & mllm\rv dance. Each of them asked at once to be introduced to her at first sight; each asked the same ofticer for an introduc- tion (though they had several friends in common present); each described her in the same way, not as ‘‘the lady in blue,” (the most obvious point of appearance about her), but as “‘the lady with the beautiful ears;” each fell desperately in love with her off-hand, and each asked her for a particular flower out of a little bouquet containing four or five more conspicuous blossoms. Finally, each came up at the end of the evening to confide in the same married lady of their acquaintance their desire to see more of the beautiful stranger. Now, small as ave all these hittle coincidences, they nevertheless show to my mind a more profound identity of mental fibre than far larger and more important mat- t of life could do. For on great emergencies or in the great affairs of one’s conduct it s only natur that somehow similar cter being governed by same general emotions, should act on the whole very much alike, while often, on the other hand, a pa difference will maice the action of similar chara ters at a special crisis extremely diverg- ent. Thus, the two Newmans, essen- tiully the same in fibre, both re-exam- ining their creed at a certain epoch of life, follow out their own logical conc! ‘lu- sions with rigorous precision, one to free thought, the other to the cardi- nalate, so | outsiders would be apt to say at first sight: **What a striking dif- ference between two brothers! But exact identity of tastes and preferences shown in these minuta touches of feel- ing—the choice of an introducer, the phrase about the ears, the selection of a particular flower (it wasn't a violet, which might occur- to_anybody, but a y of plumbago, in itself quite with- sentimental interest), and the un- burdening of mind to a particular con- fidant these things abundantly testify to an underlying similarity of mental structure, down to iR merest side-tracks and hy-w: of the brain, which could hurdly happen under any other conceiva stances than those of actua ntity. 14 The oldest Richard Ch in_Connecticut i k, of South Lyme, who ceived his fi pointment from Preside Van Bure s been in office for for eight cons cars.

The unequalled suc of ALLCOCK'S POROUS PLASTERS as an external rem- edy has stimulated unserupulous parties to put forth imitations, which they en- deavor to sell on the reputation of All- cock’s, It is an absurdity to speak of them in the same category as the genu- ine and original porous plaster.
