Omaha is a spunky town. The Union
Pacific has for some time presisted in a
system of excessive charges on jobbers
shppers and wholesale dealers for switch
accomodations. The company has for a
long time refused to fulfill its contract for
the construction of a new depot building
in Omaha and in many ways sought to
injure the business interests of that city.
Hence Omaha got its back up last
Wednesday night and the" city council
passed an ordinance declaring forfeited
all the franchises granted to. the company
by Omaha, and instructed the city attor
ney to tear up every track of the com
pany that is laid on city property. A
big legal fight is expected to ensue.
Tony Noltner suggests that Blaine, in
his declining years, may. have begun to
see the error of his republican ways and
has declined to rnn for the presidency
for fear he might endanger his chances
for eternal happiness. In that case
Blaine has the advantage of Tony for,
notwithstanding the latter's declining
years years he continues to prevaricate
about tin plate and the McKialey tariff
as though it had never been written
"No liar shall inherit, the kingdom of
heaven."
The unanimous approval of the course
pursued by the administration toward
Patrick Egan, United States Minister
to Chili, was expressed by all of the
New York municipal council of the Irish
National league of America at a meet
ing held by that body in New York city
on the 6th inst. The council warmly
endorsed the administration for its sup
port to Mr. Egan, "that distinguished
Irishman whom it had seen fit to honor"
nd a committee of five was appointed
to draw np appropriate resolutions.
The total number of patients in the
Oregon insane asylem is 764 524 males
and 240 females.
Traveling la China.
In north China yon may perhaps have
ing. Yon may, if .you will, take your
place in a springlens Peking cart, a kind
of box or cage with no seat. The pas
senger is obliged to squat on the floor
cross legged, or to sit with legs stretched
;Out at right angles with his body, and
aa the cart jolts over great stones or
through the deep ruts in the road, he is
liable to be bruised black and bine.
If such a cart looks uninviting, yon
may conclude to try a mule litter. This
consists of an oblong box slung between
two mules, which never keep step, and
not infrequently quarrel, and the sway
ing, nnsteady motion is as bad as that or
a ship in a heavy squall. Or, one
more, you may prefer to ride a donkey
with a backbone like a razor., and proba
bly with no Raddle and a single rope for
bridle. Exchange. v

A Modern Athenian's Dilemma.
"Did I ever tell you." said Thalia to a
reporter, "my awful experience theonly
time 1 was ever honored by a call from
the elder Salvini? My sister bad been
ahorn many kindnesses by him while in
Italy, and bad begged him to call en us
when he cam to America. It was the
maid's afternoon out. ' I was alone in the
flat with Jack, . my ' irrepressible ten-year-old
nephew. An accursed impulse
whispered to me that a hot bath was a
good remedy for headache. -'
"1 was in my bath wrap, my dripping
hair hanging about me, when the bell
rang. Oh, horror! The name on the card
which Jack poked under the door was
Tomaao Salvini I , 1 knew he scarcely
understood a word of English. ' 'Jack,'
I gasped, 'say after' me till yon get it,
"Madame D. est sortie," and then go in
and fire it off at him. Hell know what
it is if yon don't. Hell go away.' So
said, so done. The little scamp caught
the words quickly and repeated them
glibly.
"Fancy my anguish when Signor Sal
vini began to question, to regret,- to dep
recate in a flood of swift French, Jack
gazing in widemouthed terror, 1 on
the verge of' catalepsy behind the bath
room door. Jack bore it as long as he
could, and then his sky piercing accents
rose upon the air. I don't know what
you're driving atf wailed 'All 1
know is that she told me to say she was
sortie, aud I've said itf Don't aak me
the rest. 1 collapsed in the bathtub
and tore my hair and wept." Boston
Commonwealth.
Air Strata Over Cities.
The popular idea that' the higher one
gets in the city air the purer the atmos
phere becomes, has been disproved by
evidence given before a select committee
on house of commons ventilation in Lon
don. It is found - that the air of cities
like London, where soft coal is burned,
is purest at thirty or forty feet from the
ground. Lower than that the dust is
encountered and higher the smoke from
the chimneys.
These conclusions were arrived at
from experiments with frames of wood
covered with blanketing material put
at different elevations one on top of the
clock tower at Westminster, another on
the highest point of the roof and others
at various heights down to the court
yard. After five hours' exposure there
were found to be more smuts at high
elevations than at low, but on .the level
of the courtyard there were considera
ble quantities of dust. -
The inference from these experiments
is that the common notion that the high
est stories of the tallest blocks of flats
are desirable for their salubrity is apt to
be a mistaken one, and that beyond forty
feet nothing is gained by going higher
unless a very great height some say 400
or 500 feet is reached. Louisville Courier-Journal.
Is Iron Rnst n Cause of Fire?
When oxide of iron is placed in con-:
tact with timber excluded from the at
mosphere, and aided by a slightly in
creased temperature, the oxide will part
with its oxygen, and is converted into
very finely divided particles of metallic
iron having such an affinity for oxygen
that, when afterward exposed to the ac
tion of the atmosphere from any cause,
oxgen is so rapidly absorbed that these
particles become suddenly red hot, and
if in sufficient quantity will produce a
temperature far beyond the ignition
point of dry timber.
Wherever iron pipes are employed for
the circulation of any heated medium,
whether hot water, hot air or steam, and
the pipes are allowed . to become rusty,
in close conftict with timber, it is only
necessary to suppose that under these
circumstances, the particles of metallic
iron become exposed to the action of the
atmosphere and this may occur from
the mere expansion or contraction of the
pipes in order to account for many of
the fires which periodically take place
at the commencement of the winter.

Benevolent.
There was, not long since, a venerable
and benevolent judge in Paris who, at
the moment of passing sentence on a
prisoneraconsulted his associates on each
side of him as to the proper penalty to
be inflicted. "What ought we to give
this rascal, brother?" he said, bending
over to the one upon his right. "1
should say three years." '"What is your
opinion, brotherr to the other, on his
left. "1 should give him about four
years." The Judge (with benevolence)
"Prisoner, not desiring to give you a
; long and severe term of imprisonment,
as I should have done if left to myself.
I have consulted my learned brothers,
and 1 shall take-their advice. Seven
years!" Life.
Henry George's Qaery.-
Henry Ueorge is a singularly absent
minded and preoccupied man. so much
so, indeed, that he frequently passes ac
quaintances by without seeing them,
though be may seem to be looking them
straight in the. face. At the same time
he i often minutely observant,' and
when anything unnsual attracts his at
tention he is prompt with a query. - He
reduced a harmless young Englishman
to a state of painful embarrassment
amid the crowd of a London drawing
room by looking hard at his monocle
and suddenly saying, "Do yon wear that
because one eye is different from the
other?" San Francisco Argonaut
Two Rales for Martini Happiness.
Lily Devereux Blake suggests m one

sion of money, for she claims that oner
half of every dollar the husband has be
longs in the law to the wife.

This is a short story that Cambridge
people may not find exactly humorous.
It is told, however, concerning & bright
youngster who lived among them for bis
nine short summers, and by reason of
the cultured atmosphere he breathed
and the experimental systems he was
'brought np on ought either to" have
been dead or one 'of their own. : But he
defied both these fates and in due course
received his reward by moving into Bos
ton. Here he at once found congenial
companions ' and no doubt ' began" to
contract -those unfortunate habits of
speech that indirectly led to this tale.
One - day his papa heard him using lan
guage that no nice little boy, especially
a university town boy, is supposed to
know the meaning of. -
"Teddy," said his stern parent, "never
say that again; it's swearing, and God
wUl hear you and be very much dis
pleased," - ,
"Well, m go down cellar," said the
youngster defiantly, "then 1 guess he
cant her me."
"Yes, he can," insisted the devout
man. .
"Is he in the attio too?"
'. -Yes."
"Then," announced the youngster,
with the triumphant air of one who set
tles the question, "I'll go to Cambridge,
for I'm sure he's not there." Boston

Dancing- for n Footing. - .
A mild way of hazing uninitiated schol
ars has been . in rogue for a long time at
the Eclectic Medical college. Every new
man is required to get up before the
whole school and give a little jig before
he will be recognized as a fit person to
associate with. If he refuses at first to
give the jig he is not in it with the boys,
who slight him on every possible occa
sion and make him the butt of their
jokes. Some very dignified scholars
found it terribly hard to get through the
little ordeal, but experience taught them
to succumb, and there is not one of them
who has n3t rattled his feet in accordance
with the unwritten rule of the institu
tion. Of course this is a matter which
does not come under the jurisdiction of
the faculty. Cincinnati Enquirer. ,
Criticism for tbe Eagle.
Why cannot some able designer get up
a. representation of the eagle that looks
something like that glorious bird? The
spread wing idea is unnatural and ab
surd. It is only because of its antiquity
that it is tolerated. An eagle that would
spread its wings and legs in an attempt
to symbolize peace and war deserves to
be shot. A fine design of an American
eagle at rest, perched.on a crag or limb
of a tree, would not be a bad one for our
silver coins. Cincinnati Commercial
