For re than an hour previous to starting streets were filled with rapidly moving turnouts, fitted up in true car- nival style, with plumes, flags, ever- greens, ete. At 12:45 the procession started from the corner of Pearl streot and First avenue. At that point there were 105 sleighs in line. but the number was constantly incereased by new arrivals until the line reached the other side of the river, where the line numbered over two hundred. A great many |)Nr‘l|(' went overon the dummy trains, and it was estimated that there were 1,000 Bluflites in Omaha during the afternoon. The crowd at the chamber of commerce was 80 great that many of the visitors failed to procure any of the refreshments, although the supply was ample. About halt past 4 the returning ters began to arrive in the Bluffs, from that time until long after dark, the stragglers pt coming in.

I see the Towa railway commission- ers have decided rather queerly on de- murrage,” remarks one of the wholesale men. *I suppose they decided what they thought was right, but look at it for u minute. * They decide that twenty- four hours is a reasonable time in which to unload a car, and thaPthe demurrage rate of $3 a day after that is likewise reasonuble, Now the railways have been allowing us !nn\ eight hours in which to unload, and I don’t see why the ruilway commissioners should cut this down one-half. These demurrage charges are not always fair by any means. For instance, we order several carloads, and arrunge to have them come along at different times, so that our force can unload them promptly, but you know itis hard to caleulate clos on freight time tables. Some of the cars may be delayed, and the first we know there are several of them here in a bunch. We cannot Im»ihl.\' unload them all within twenty- our hours. If the cars had arrived on time, we could have handled them all right, and it isn’t our fault that they come in here in o bunch. Perhaps they are from over different roads. We can- not put on green men to unload these cars, for the goods or stock is such that it needs experienced men to handle them. Now if we don’t unload all these cors within a day, we have to pay de- murrage. It seems that the commis: i might have let the time for un- ading remain where the railway com- panies themselves have placea it, for ight hour without cutting it ‘down one-half. Of course it only affeets those who have large ship- ments. A man who only get e load at a time can get along all vight, for he can manage to unload prompt and even if he has to pay demuveage, i doesn’t amount to much on one car. Those who have a good many carloads cannot get around so quickly, and the demurrage amounts to conside seems that the commissioners have decided that for ight hours was a reasonable time in which to unload, for that is the time allowed by many of the railway compunies themselves to large shippers, On the market for over twenty years., Still the most reliable and the most wopular sewing machine made.

New York Herald: Rascality seems to be an inherent instinet in some peo- ple and 1o better demonstration of the proposition can be found than in the person of “*Harry® Benson, alias Mey ete., who is now squirming in the grip of the law. The exploits of this clever rogue in Mexico, where, as Mme. Patti's advance agent he succeeded in swindling the Mexican publie out of thousands of dol- . ave well knowg. His general his- has been often published, but there many interesting events in this gentleman’s checkered career which have not hitherto seen the light through newspapers A well known gentleman of this city, whose name is withheld at his request. and whose father was a prominent mer- chant in Paris, detailed last evening to a Herald reporter some interesting facts concerning Benson's life. “I have known Benson,” ‘“‘since boyhood. He (Benson) was born in Paris about forty-two years ago. Young Benson received the best of edu- cations in the schools and colleges of Paris, but often caused his father much sorrow by his many escapades and by the tendency he then developed to cheat his schoolmates as well us other young men with whom he associated. “In 1868 Benson secured a position on many_clever :If **Le Domino As a journalist he advanced rapidly, the errors of his boyhood were forgotten and he gave great promise for the future. “*When the war broke out it scemed to have a bad effect on Benson. The town of Chatenu d'Un had been de- stroyed by the Prussians, and petitions had been sent to London for relief, to which fund 100,000 francs had been sub- scribed, and which sum the Rothschilds had on deposit. Benson got wind of this in some way and resolved to secure this money. **He called on the lord mayor of Lon- don shortly after this, bearing a letter of introduction from Leon Say, then Preft de la Seine (which letter, of course, was forged), und representing him to be ‘le Maire de Chateaudun.’ He was ulso armed with other forged dentials, which re generally tten upon the official paper of the ‘Department de la Seine,” and it was with very little difficulty that he secured from the lord mayor letters to the Rothschilds, who paid him the mon intended for the Chateaudun sufferers. “The lord mayor soon after gave a banquet, to which Leon Say was invited, and when his lordship subject of the young mayor of Chateau- dun, who had visited hum and whom he had taken quite a fancy to, M. Say was very much surprised. He still further astonished when informed of the letter of introduction which pur- ported to have come from himself. Of this last piece of roguery Scotland Yard was informed, and annlm wis dis- covered by the detectiv in a fashion- able hotel on Regent strect and sent, awaiting his trinl, to Newgate. While there he displayed his wonderful nerve. He kunew he would get a long sentence and so thought of a secheme \»v which his time in prison would be shortened, *He stripped off his coat and shirt, and, with the intention of injuring him- wl' just enough to be sent to the ifirm- v, placed his naked body over a burn- jet, thus inflicting upon himself a horrible burning that nearly cost him his life. He was not exp 1 to live long after this and was seutenced to but s imprisonment. *While Benson was in was said to have directed a successful railroad robbery, in which the Bank of France lost a large sum of money, which was never 1 vered, and when his year's term had expired he took up his residence in the Isle of Wight, where he become interested with Ke in a swindling sporting paper, the particu- lars of which have already been pub- lished. “In this last scheme he was in the She: 1l estate. he began, Newgate he habit of publishing glowing accounts of the suceess of the lorses of a mythical | Count Montgomery, predicting the re- sults of equally mgthical races. and fol- | lowing up these predictions in the fol- lowing week's issue of his puper by such ‘editorinls’ as it will be seen that, as we trvdh-h-( last week, Montgomery have won in all the r ete. These notices caught the ey Baroness de Goneourt, o wealthy widow of Orleans, who fell a victim to Benson's scheme to the tune of $55.000. “‘Benson ved out twelve years of a fifteen years' sentence for this last piece of swindling, and then came to America in 1886, with what results the public is already aware, but there may have been other villainies practiced by’ this rascal elsewhere in this country which have not yet reached the light. “A master of no less thansix lan- guages, all of which he speaks like a native: a fine musician, and a man of ex- ceptionally good address, it is not to be wondered that so many of his schemes have been successful, and in this regard may be mentioned the fact that he con- ducted his own defense when first ar- rested in London, displaying an unusual knowledge of English law. When Benson was brought before Jus- tice White in Jefferson Market court yesterday morning he was discharged owing to the fact that the offense for which he was arraigned had been com- mitted in Mexico, Inspector Byrnes had expected a dispateh from the St. Louis authorities asking that Benson be remanded for certain swindling oper= ations in that city, but the dispatch did not show up as expected. As soon as Benson had left the court room he was again arrested by Detect- ives Hanley and Adams, who took him back to police headquarters and later on he was brought before United S Commissioner Lyman for w consid ation of his case, with a view to the suing of a rant for his commitment and the ultimate granting of extra- dition papers for his removal to the City of Mexico, there to await a charge of forgery. » of PR Bid me discourse, and T will enchant thine ear with tales of astounding cures 1 sorts of suffering by Salvation Oil.

Wonderful Arcna at Medicine Butte On the Sioux Reservation. Chamberlain (Dak.) Corr of the St. Paul Globe: Amer derlund is not confined to the Yellow- stone park, nor the famous Yosemite ‘While they existing won- of to-day. and their beautics are unsurpassed, they awake no emotions of the mysterious t, and do not recall to the_ imagination the strange events that have passed into oblivien, and which are discovered and brought to light by the merest accident. Medicine Butte, sixty miles west of herve on the Sioux reservation, has a history that is as legible as though 1t were written in the purest language and stamped with the name of the most trathful and enlightened histoman, [ts history is written in the wonderful excavatious and great arena, which, taken together, mark it as the coliseum of amighty past. Tt is silent now, and the shouts of the multitude, which centuvies ago was wafted on the wings of the winds, has died away, while only the bones of the different animals Which wi 10 make an enjoyable holid are now lying about the arena, mark out the spot” where sports of other days were witnessed. On the east side of this elevation isan open valley, about 100 feet wide, wh K after running westward about 500 feet, terminates in a large arena about 1,000 feet 1 circum- ferenc The walls which gurround this arena are perpendicular in height for about forty feet, when they gradually slope to the summit. Tt was not carved out by the hands of man, but is the work of Nature. In fact, it would seem that Medicine Butte is an extinct voleano, and many peeuiiar formations inits vicinity would would tend to cs- tablish that belief. Be that as it may, the fact remains that it was used by people who have long since pass as an amphitheater where they congre gated to witness the bloody battles o the mammoths which inhabited this country at that remote period. All around the arenaand situated one above the other, like so man windows, are little caves which are entered from the rear. In those safe retreats would the spectators await with impatience the savage onslaught in the arena below. It is presumed, from the size and con- figuration of the bones which have sur- vived the eroding processes of time, that the animals engaged in those fero- cious and mortal combats belonged to a spec of which the lion and tiger are now the representatives, only they were much larger, Mixed with these bones are others which belonged to some species of ruminant, and it was custom- ary, no doubt, to furnish the vietor with adainty feast after his prolonged con- test with a mightice opponent, With a savage roar he would epring upon his trembling vic- tim and rend him to picees, satiating his ravenous appetite with his warm blood. Rome, in her palmy days, when the Coliseum was her great center of at- traction, might have boasted of a Vi rand more enlightened gath- ering than that which gathered to wit- ness the conflicts in this arena, but cer- tainly not a more enthusiastic one, and v no legible history of s existence. But we will not despair, for the early future may unravel the history of those times,and bring to light the origin, methods of life and possibly the literature of that forgotten people. Already there has been found certain smooth flat stones which are covered with inscriptions, and lately a ciphe which is supposed to be a key totl language has been added to the trophies, and which, it is believed, will unfold myster that will surpass the wildest flights of imagination. the old world, and long before yramids were built, long before Memnon's statue had been erected, and had burst into melody under the influ- ence of the rays of the morning sun, this portion of creation had grown old and apidly passing intodecay.

F inlht' little fragile link, which, it is believed, will ‘complete the chain of evidence, and proved beyond a doubt the statements which have just been submitted.

To complete this evidence, small vssels of pecular | design and elegant workmanship have been found, which fit exactly the open- ings in those furnac and are believed to have been used for boiling wate Most wonderful of all, though,are the little cups resembling chinaware and | bearing figures which resemble in their general outline the designesused by the Chinese at the present time, The following conclusion must be the true one, and offers a solution as to what these vessels were used for. In the first place, it must be admitted that this ancent 'coliscum was opencd for holiday sports and great occasions; that frequently the spectators would become thirsty, or wanted to stay for the night entertainment. In either case they would start a firr in the furnance, ana having provided themsclves with water beforchand, they would make a cup of hot tea, assuage their thivst and enjoy a nd of mild i xication, while they witnessed the s below. The most conclusive proof of the above statement is that all these vessels have a strong odor of tea, and that fact alone should convince the most skeptical.
