In the spring of 1874, the Mying Putchman was in Chicago stopping at the Brovoort house, on Madison street, Pvinn just returned from & trip through Towa, and at the hotel he made the acquaintance of a young man just over from Germany. He was avery fine looking gentleman, but could not speak Enghsh fluently and it appeared to bother him very much. He was willing enough to try and converse with any of the traveling men that he met at the house, but he would get his words mixed up %o that it was very amusing. As a rulo the traveling men are all a set of jolly fellows, wide-awake and always ready for fun. They would listen to him as he wouid tell of the ad- ventures he met with in the city and some of the sights he saw. At that time the Chicago White Stockings was the erack team of e ball pfayvers, and they were i son. Their grounds were on the corner of Twenty-second and State streets and all the bill boards in the city were 1 with their papers announcing > on which they were to play, In his rambles over the city this young German saw the bills for ihe game of balland to him it something new, as he had never seen it in the old country., When he came in to dinner he asked some of the boys what it was and they told him if he er had seen the game tnat he ought to attend, as it was the national sport of America, He at once made up his mind ho would go that very afternoon, and no more was said about it. The next morn- ing at breakfast he came in and was seated at a table with a lot of traveling men, and one of the number asked him if he bhad seen the game. He wiped a tear from his eye, and this was his de- ption of base ball: “My friend youst as you told me I vent 1o se t game. Ven Larvived out de blace [ found a high vence mit a big gate and a little holo. A man vas looking out. Dot man he said do you want to see de game? I said shure, and he dold me half a dollar.

G1uBoN, Neb., May 15.—To the Ed- itor of THE Be: There is much talk of the farm mortgage—this little pledge 50 very easy 1o get on land, and so hard to get off, when once 1t gets on. I have been making some investiga- tion, and propose t0 give you my cou- clusions on the subject, after a long res- idence and intimate acquaintance with the farm loan, having once owned land in partoership with this szme farm mortgage, and also having lived in the same house with his brother, the town mortgage. Ll some one insinuates that I am mis- taken, [ will patiently wait for the'next census for my vindication. At the very Youtake no risks. Largest Clothing House West of the Mississippi River, lowest estimate, there are $2,000,000 in mortgages on the farms of Buffalo county, Nebraska. Amnd they will cost the borrowers, including all expenses and interest on the loans, fully 9 per cent per annum. I can not See the slightest ground to fear that investment companies nor individuals will stop loaning money on farms, if the whole trath in relation to the business is fully made known. Why should they? There is no safer investment that pays so large a profit anywhere else. So rich a plum will not be dropped suddenly. The favor does not come from the lender— the borrower has to pay full value, There is not one case in a hundred where there is any loss to the lender on the land. A case is under foreclosure now, in this county, for a first and a sec- ond mortgage, and yet the man who gots the farm for the mortgages and the expenses of the suit will get a bargain of $2,000. Buffalo is an average county, and what is true of it is true, toa greater or less extent, of the other counties of the state. The lender is the man who reaps the greater benefit, and not the man who obtains theploan. You show me & man who has a mort- gage on his farm and T will show you a man who is in difficulties. It would be better for the farmers, to-day, taken as a whole, if not u single one of them had ever been able to mortgage his farm, The few who have gotten along without loans are those who are best off now, though they may not have been so in the start. Men put loans on their farms for all kinds of purposes. And in all, or at least a very few cases, this could have been avoiaed. Many in this vicinity mortgaged to buy cattle and fence land. But some have obtained loans to put up better buildings and buy various things not necessary. Others have gotten loans to enable them to visit friends in the east, and for other purposes that would neither bring back principal nor inter- est. But the saddest case I know of is a disabled soldier, whose farm is to be sold to pay his loan, He went into the cattle business, somebody else got the profits that should have been his, and his farm will have to go. Poor old man—honest, sober, indus- trious and saving; grey-headed, lame and almost blind; he had faithigly served his country in its hour of nead, and now his home, even, goes, because he could not foresee the beef combine, and because the state.would not protect him from its rapacity—no, not even try to. But he is only one of many who wifl follow, unless better ‘prices can be ob- tainod for stock and grain in the future. Let any man try to pay off a mortgage on his farm by raising corn at 15 cents per bushel, and he will soon know how it is for himself, better than any theo- rist, who farms only on paper. The ex- istence of a farm mortgage on some other man’s land is not so very un- pleasant; but the man. whose land is covered by one of theseinstruments, at this day, feels as if ho were chained hand and foot on thé land he owns, while the waters of some mighty flood were gradually rising around him, and as if it were only a short time until he will be overwhelmed.

LINCOLN BUREAU OoF THE OMAGA Bes, 1020 P STresT, . !\ L LN, May 19, Another illustration of marriage as a fail- ure was given yesterday afternoon by the pe- tition for divorce filed in the district court by T. T. Barnes, as attorney for Mrs. Addie St. Clair. The petition tells a mournful, but not uncommon, tale. Marion St. Clair, the man who has caused clouds of unhappiness to come over the hife of the plaintiff in the case, is a Methodist preacher, one of the sort that make better lawyers than preachers, and who are not marked successes atv either profession. When Mrs. St. Clair, then a confiding maid, married the man, in Milwau kee, in 1882, she 1magined him to be a marvel of goodness and manly virtue. She soon found herself mistaken. St. Clair ran away to Chicago and committed various offenses, pardonable only in unmarried men. He also advertised in the newspapers for female cor- respondents, got drunk, was arrested in Washington for obtaining money un- dor false pretenses, and in general madoe a practice of raising the old Harry. Then vhe wife found that, previous to his marriage with her, he had lhved with an- other woman in Philadelphia ana was the father of a child by her. In the midst ot these harrowing discoveries, the viliain ran away with a Boston female to Memphis, and introduced her there as his wife. Some time ago he deserted his wife and is not now a resident of the state. 'The wife has at last concluded that there is no hope of reforma- vi.i‘on. and asks the courts to free her from im, Natal Day Colebration. ‘Theso sunny days of summer cause youth- ful hearts to turn to tnoughts of Independ- enco day.

A NERVEY HACKMAN, He Oaptures a Womld-Be Muraerer and Holds a Mob at Bay. Henry Nolan, the young man who figured as the principal in the shooting affair at Thirty-fourth and California streets early yesterday morning, is in the city jail. ‘The credit for his arrest is due to @ hack driver named Dave Mahoney, who arrived just after the shooting and found Nolau’s friends going awuy with him in a wagon. He at once pulled Nolan out of the wagon and returned with him to the house. Here ho met another difficulty. Some of the spectators organized a lynching bee und wanted to string Nolan up to a telegraph pole. Mahoney interfered, and promised to protect his prisoner with his life, His de- termined manner silenced the would-be lynchers, who hung around, how- until an ofticer, summoned by arrived and took Nolan in charge. then drove away as though it was 3 day aftur for him to arrest a would-be murderer, and then protect him from a necktie party. Neither Mrs. Gibson nor her nephew, Orville Etner, who were shot by Nolan, was dangerously hurt. The bullet” that struck Young ktner passed entirely through the calf of his leg, inflicting a nasty flesh wound, but no_ serious results are expected from it. Mrs. Gibson was shot in the left thigh, the bullet lodging against the boue just above the kuce. The attending physician was unable to locate the ball, Nolan took the matter very coolly. He savs that he has always expected to be hanged for murder, and seems to be disap- pointed that the mob at the place did nov streteh him up after the shooting.
