At Omaha there are two Republican,
papers printed; one is called the Omaha
Republican, and the other the Omaha Iri-
buue. There is a bitter feud between these
brothers, as may be judged by the following
extract from one of the Ifibunes replies to
the Republican:
When our old friend accuses us of court
ing and receiving the smiles of our political
enemies by yielding particle Of our devo-
ton to the principles we profess to advo-
cate, he states lie, which could only have
its birth in a heart black as the internal

foot already scorched by the liyid flames.

Amusements.

OPERA HOUsE.-The programme of
the Denier Gazette Comique Troupe
was choek full Of good things last
night, but for some unaecountable
reason. unless the unfavorable wealth
err be deemed sufficient, the house was
not as full as it should have been.
for 4b0 trvup1 ana Ins1r performances
are well worthy of the most liberal
patronage.
The first piece was the old familiar
piece of " Tie Pleasant Neighbor." in
which Miss Maggie Willett and DE.
Rodgers did some excellent act
ing. and Miss Willett sang Love
Launched a Fairy Boat very
sweetIy. f.a
After this, Denier went through q
variety of the most difficult, brilliant
and startling acts on the horizontal
bar. eliciting rounds of applause.
The ballads by Miss Hamilton, al
though well rendered. are rather too
familiar to the people Of the city, yet,
|
familiar as they are, she received q
very hearty encore. L
Kings song and dance. The No.
II Shoe" was well sung and danced
the singing being the best. for Mr..
Kings voice is much better than the
average of song and dance men.
Carleton's Kyser " and other parts
were drollery itself, and the way he
handled the wooden shoes was sur
prising. The Grand pa Longlegs of
Denier was at once e very skilliul
silt dance, and a very droll piece of
pantomime acting.
Miss Wiilett's comic and character
songs were not only very sWeetly sung
but were invariably we'll acted. and
the closing piece was. as usual. side
splitting farce. IF you want to laugh
aud be intensely amused, 20 tonight.

TpR NAN THAT ALWAYS" Knows

THB NAN THAT ALWAYS KNOWS
BErrER. THE man with chronic
d position for dispuhng other peo-
ple's knowledge or opinions is oue of
those harmless characters that one is
oblig- to tolerate in life, and ha- TO
be claesed with the man who catches
you by the button hole aud tells sou
your own favorite joke or story, 10 a
mut,lated form, and to complete the
work of disgusting you, laughs loud,
seDseless laugh, while you feel dis
position to boot him. and gives you
such a dislike for the story that You
incontinently forget it.
The man who Knows better" al
ways watches his opportunity and
never seems to have an attack of his
mania, except some third person IL
present. When alone with him, he
never contradicts, bat iu the presence
of a third person. to whom he imag-
ines he can demonstrate his superior
knowledge, he will display great inge-
nuily in inventing a theory to dis
prove q well known fact.
When q circumstance 10 related in
his presence he always questions the
relater to learn if they are not at least
Just a little different. If John Brown
is said to have been convicted in the
Criminal Court of larceny of pig,
he will try to persuade you. you are
mistaken, and that the man convict
ed vas John Smith. and that the
crime was false pretences, that there
was no pig in the case. and that In
stead of being convicted the bill was
ignored by the Grand Jury.
In the Jury-room such a man is &
treasure, he always insists that The
Judges charge means something else
that the evidence was different, or thai
he does not believe the witness, anG
fancying he "knows better" manages
to disagree with the majority.
A maniac of this description is Q
great bore; one of them got into tht
Council Chamber one night when +;

Still, he knows better.

Vanity is the principal ingredient
that enters into this description
of mania, and although the grea

SUNDAY SCHOOL FEsTIYAL.-The
Sunday School connected with the
Kingsley NJ. E. Church. had a glori-
GUS time last evening. The Church
was crowded to It's utmost capacity,
many standing in the aisIes and on
the sides of the room. The walls Of
the Church were tastefully decorated
with evergreen wreaths and arches
trimmed with ribbons. The exeE-
cises consisted in singing and recita-
tons by the children, and short adj
dresses by Messrs. Glover and Curniek
and Rev. i. B. Carpenter. The sing
ing Of the children had in it child
hoods joyful ring, and it was most
cheering to listen Co It. All the little
folks did exeellently in their recita-
tons, one or two Of which we may
mention particularly. A class of
little girls came on to the platform,
and sang a verse, calling up some ia
miliar incident in the history Of the
Savior, the closing line of which was.
"What did the Savior Ssy?" In re-
Spouse to these inquiries, some class
of boys or girls would rise in
their places, and repeat a verse
of Scripture that answered the
question. Another very interesting
recitation was by a class of eleven
little girls, each of whom apparently
had blue card suspended from her
neck. First the entire class recited q
verse IN unison; then. beginning at
one end. each girl recited a verse ap-
propriate to particular letter of the
alphabet; and, at its close, turned her
card. When all the cards were
turned. the words, Feed Ny Lambs, .
in large gilt letters, was easily read
By the audience.
At the conclusion of the exercises
the teachers Of the School gave each
boy and girl present a large paper bag
Of sEeetmeats. and great hilarity pre-
vailed. The School is under the su-
psrintendence Of 81. B. Cassayant. and
ia one of the most successful in the
city, considering the short time that
has elspssd since it was organized.
