As the fowls will resort to the tr for shade they will work around the trunks and also on the ground under the trees, This method divides the hens and keeps them busy at 1 the trees.

Miss Lizzie Isancs' Ccneert. Washington hall was completely filled Tuesday evening with an audience of musi loving people who testified by unstinted ap- plause to theie appreciation of the popular and talented young beneficiaive in whose honor the concert was given. Miss Lizzio Isaacs, leading soprano of St. Peter's church, not ouly possesses a remark- able yoice, but has it under such perfect con- trol that her execution of trills, scales and other embellishments is as faultless as her sustained notes ave full and rich. The aria | from **Lucia,” which was selected for this occasion, is one of the most dificult of opel atic selections, and in this Miss Isaacs did herself full jus astonishi her hearers by the.purity of hertones, as well | as by her faultless execution.

On Thursday evening a gay party of young people moved by a desire for the joys of com- panionship and a leaning to break the silence with laughter and a challenge of wit, betook themselves in a coach to “Happy Hollow.” ‘I'he picture they presented covering the top and thrusting their charming faces from the windows was fetching to a degree and caleu- lated to turn green with envy those of their particular merry-go-round not fortunate cnough to have been asked. They drove about’ the streets for a time and then over the hills to that_enchanted valley, made doubly beautiful by art and nature.

Cowin's, presented an appearanceé calculated 1o inspire shouts of langhter. Altogetherthe evening was one of intorrupled gaity which will continue to give pleasure in thought long after the roses have faded and the effect of the punch has become a part of the past.

Tn the spring of 1881 Omaha, experienced a rise in the Missouri river which it had nev 1 equalled It may well bo doubted if asimilar rise shall again visit this section of the country. The rise extended to Council Bluffs, the flats between this city and that town being submerged with water. The inhabitants were subjected to all the suffering and annoy- ance incidental to flooded countries. Since that time, hundreds of families have located on thoso bottoms. Large manufac turing Institutions and storchouses have been crected upon them, while magnificent drive paved to the heart of the ity on the other side of the river has been built at great expens Should a flood, similar to _that srred, again visit thissectio ild'be o thousand-fold gry eventative, fmmediate] waters of that time had subsided, Bluffs built whati s kuown as its levee.

Attachied to the pump was a four-inch rub- ber hose which terminated in a nozzle with an ovitice of one und onc-half inches.

Here muay be noticed rows of limestone aloig the bank, about twenty feet from the water's edge, These rest upon mattresses which, however, ean not be seen, The method of riprapping is very simple. A line of piles, each ten feet apart, 'is drives 15 near (he bank as possible, Kach is hauled into position by steam. A iron pipe with an orifice of one and one-vighth inches bung along the side with the opening down ward. ‘Phis pipe is attached to u rubber Bose which in turn is connected with a puwp on an adjoining beat. Through this hose and pipe water is forced at a pressure of ninety pounds. As the pile descends into the water the pipe accompanics It and the stream from the nozzle burrows a_hole in the bottom of the river into which the pile sinks. Th sand closes in around it and the pile is in place, The pipe is then withdrawn, applied — to the mnext pile and the work is repeated. The piles are twenty feet in length and forty-cight of them have been driven in a single day ‘Thirty-five piles, however, form a good day’s work Like the hydraulic grader, pile-driver is” a success.

THE GOLDEN STATE. Discouraging Bank Clearances —Clam- oring for more Railroads. SAN Fiaxeisco, May 10.—[Special to Tie s issue of the Report of this city appears an article in which the writer asserts that the bank clearances for the first four months of 1887-8-0 and 1800 show prae- tically no variation, and ho prints the figures insupport of his statement. In replying to his own question as to the reason for this lnck of growth in “The Queen of the Pacific,” he says it fsbecause this is “a one- yuilroad state, which is_cquivilent to calling it a one-horse country.” It is very evident that San Francises is not keeeping p.ll'l' with other western cities in growth and enterprise. The Chronicle build- ing, nine storics high, is the only structure, recently built, to be scenin the main business portion of the city, and there ave many build- ings in Omaba more striking in appearance than the Chronicle building. .

A, S, Embree, paster of the Birst Meth- odist Kpiscopal chureh of this city Rev. Embree is one of the brainiest young ministers, not only of his denomination in tho city, but in the state at largo, Ho has keen ayo for the fareical. His opinion-of the opor- ation of the prohibitory Law in this ity is con- uently deeidedly keen and his expression”, of that opinion caustic in the extreme. Rev, Embree is of course on the side of tomperance and would welcome nothing more heartily than an inquisitorial_enforcement of the law, but he bas & desperate and hearky contempt for the hypocr those who aro their prohibitory pretensions und cither follow St. Paul's injunction on the sly or tacitly connive at & wanton violation of the la. Mr. Embreo has the brains to recoguizo that where there is no sentiment back of law the enforcement of that law s an im possibility. And that there is no sentiment in this community sufficicntly strong to effect an enforeement of the law is equally appavent to Mr, Embree and any one clso who is ac- Lwith the stute of aftuirs in this city, 1 si the prohibitory law in this state nacted, that law has been vigorously op- posed by the people.
