Washington, May 17. William J. Bryan, of the First Nebraska district, has sent a letter to the chairman of bis congressional committee, Judge J. H. Proady, of Lincoln, declining to' be a candidate for re-election. "If the president's financial policy be comes the policy of the party, I do not see any reason for the continued exist ence of the party, because the republi cans having followed that policy longer are better prepared than we to support it. On the other band, if the party re pudiates Mr. Cleveland's fiaancial pol icy and renews its devotion to the com mon people, it may yet become an ef fective instrument in the securing of a good government." - Mr. Byran states he will resume his law practice in the city of Lincoln.

We noticed a smile of self-content flitting on the face of the city harness maker and we naturally wondered, but a whisper soon: satisfied us as to its cause. A little 8-pound girl arrived at his house May 15th, who will soon call John papa. The frost did not injure as much fruit as was thought. II seemed to affect it in spots. Around Dufur and Summit Ridge it killed about 75 per cent, of the peaches, cherries and strawberries, but in other places it did not hurt to amount to much.

The republican meeting Friday even ing was well attended by a large crowd of loyal republicans and a few scattering democrats. Some of the candidates for the different offices talked to the people, asking their suffrage. The speech of the occasion was given by Mr. John Michell, who is gifted with a ready flow of language, pleaeinK to those who liste a He spoke concerning the times, their causes, etc., told of the various laws and bills congress is endeavoring to force upon the people, and concluded by pro posing three rousing cheers for the re publican ticket, three for the star spangled banner and three for Uncle Sam, which were given with a hearty good will. The people then dispersed for their several homes, some rejoicing, some sorrowing, some satisfied and some grumbling, all anxiously awaiting the 4th of June. Quiz. ENDERSBT. . Rev.

This is a serious hindrance to all grow ing vegetation, and in some parts fears are entertained that the fruit crop has been severely damaged, as there has been several heavy frosts. Spring in all its. grandeur never looked brighter and more beautiful than at present. In every direction that tbe wandering eye chances to rest, can be observed green fields of waving grain and verdant flowers, which yield grace fully to the bending power of the wind, and seem to murmur, I will go with thee if thou will bear me on thy fleeting wings, to some flowery spot toward the distant horizon. Saturday night several of tbe candi dates for the various offices on the popu list ticket, gave an interesting lecture to the voters of this neighborhood. Among the orators were J. C.

They addressed the people till a late hour on the financial condition of our country, and at times wore some what hard on our democratic and-re publican brethren.

UNCOMPLIMENTARY. Carlyle and the Picture of Himself Painted , . by n Friend. . . . , Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia, and disappointments. He was, therefore, neither oversympathetic in intercourse with his friends, nor , fair in his esti mates of other writers. Though he personally liked 'Tenny son, he spoke with . impatience of his "cobbling his odes;" dismissed Jane Austen's novels as "dish-washings;" Hallam, the historian, as "dry as dust," and Goldsmith as an "Irish blackguard." . Even the writers of editorials in the press were saluted with this hard saying: "What are these fellows doing? They only serve to cancel one another.' A characteristic anecdote illustrates his cruel disposition, which provoked him to inflict pain even on a friend. An artist, who frequented Carlyle's house, painted a picture of him in his dressing- gown smoking a pipe by the fireside, and Mrs. Carlyle in an arm chair sitting- opposite him. The pic ture was hunpr at one of the Royal academy exhibitions, and, though not a striking work of art, was purchased by Lord Ashburton Carlyle's friend for five hundred pounds. The. delighted artist hurried off to the Carlyles, expecting: congratulations on the sale, and some manifestation of pleasure on their part at having such a value .set on a picture of . themselves and their domestic interior. He deliv ered his glad tidings, but all the re sponse he received from Carlyle was: "Well, in my opinion, five hundred pounds was just four hundred and ninety-five pounds too much!"
