The Grave of ST. Patrick

Mr.. Barry Ffennell, writing in Land and
Water, says: Gone matter which I think
will impress all strangers with feeling of
disappointed surprise is visit to the ca
thedral city of Downpatrick. It is neither
the city itself, nor the fine, substantial ca
thedral on the hill which evoke this feeling
They are we'll enough, trim, thriving, COM
fortable-looking on the whole, and need not
fear comparison with other cathedrals or
cathedral cities of Ireland. But something
more than disappointment, something like
indignant surprise, takes possession of one
on being led up to what is said to be held
which as such is visited, am told, by null
titudes of American strangers every year.
1t lies in the highest and most central posi-
tion in the otherwise decently kept church.
yard surrounding Downpatrick cathedral,
and is the one spot of earth in the whole
place that appears given mp to complete ne
glect and desecration. Around are graves
and gravestones, ancient and modern, all
we'll ordered and neatly kept, some showing
the recent touch of hands directed by low
ing care, while the one which strangers
would have expected to find most honored
is the only dishonored grave among them
all. The unsightly-looking hole unmarked
by cross or slab, now half-tilied with loose
rubbish of broken bricks, loose stone and
earth, is disgrace to the people of Down
who, be they Protestants or Papists, i'll that
they claim to be Christians, have an equal
right to honor the resting place of this
faithful, fearless preacher of Christianity
who was the first to bring the gospel OF
truth into Ireland. the first to introduce the
dawn of civilization among her then wholly
barbarous princes and people, aud whose
feet first touched the Irish soil upon the
shores of County Down. shall feel proud
indeed if these observations viii lead any
one belonging to the neighborlloood or the
county, to take some interest in the mat
ter.n

COME INTO COURT!
Behold a Natural Curiosity.
An Insurance. Agent who Esti-
mates his Character ar
Twenty Thousand
Ducats.

Lightning rod men and insurance
agents are proverbially modest, and
the Omaha members of this frater-
nifty are especially noted for their
innate bashfulness.
The maternal tenderness and pa
ternal care with which they nurse
their regulations is only equalled
by the persistence with which they
keep themselves before the people.
Nobody knows better than they
how, where and when to advertise;
and nobody can get more advertis-
ing for a smaller amount of money.
The extensive circulation of the
BEE, and its attractive and spicy
way of putting men and things be-
fore the public, have made this
journal the favorite advertising
medium of the Nebraska insurance
fraternity. We make this explana-
ton i'm order to enable our readers
to understand why the BEE is just
now favored with the most lucrative
advertisement that has ever fallen
to the hands of a Nebraska newspa-
per. For this munificent patronage
the BEEF is chiefly indebted to a very
e~nterprising insurance agent, who,
doubtless, expects by dint of liberal
advertising to establish a lucrative
business in these parts.
The name of our munificent
patron is William q. Grain, and the
complimentary mention made in
his absence by the BEE seems to
have created SO much enthusiasm
among his friends that his recall by
telegraph vas at once agreed upon.
Instead of waiting for further local
notices, Mr.. Grain, with regal
l~iberality, deposited a 100000 sight
draft upon Edward Rosewater, pub
Usher and proprietor of the bee,
with the clerk of the District Court.
A few promiscuous legal prelimina.
ries may, however, be absolutely ne
cessary before the twenty thousand
ducats r paid.

Tho Omaha herald and the Germans.

Tho Omaha herald and the Germans.
Since an affrightened beer-brewer
of German birth, has sought refuge
before the advancing columns of
the temperance brigade, in the
ranks of the Democratic party, the
Omaha Herald, with that enthusi-
astic vein so peculiar to it, insists
that all Germans in this State,
must necessarily vote the Demo-
cratic ticket. But is it not about
time for this same paper to COM
mence to learn that it really knows
nothing whatever about the Ger
mans, either i'm Nebraska, or else
where? Is it not time for it to
remember how often in
the past it has misjudg-
ed them, and to con-
slider will what language it uses, be-
fore it drives all such Germans that
might feel inclined to adopt Demo-
cratic principles back into the ranks
of that party, where they, at least,
r treated with respect, and are not
subjected to open insults. Fol- err
tainly, such language as the Her.
aid has used for the last few days is
nothing but a plain Insult on the
good Judgment, as well as a mean
reflection on the habits of the Ger
mans. Yesterday morning it squeals
as follows:
"The fearful fright about the Ger
mans, we ri creditably informed,
has led to a plan, to o systematic
effort t. bride them back to theiral-
ready broken allegiance by appoint
ing leading Germans to Office"
Now, Doctor Miller, you may
know once and for all: Germans
cannot be bri6ed into anything. And
you may further know, hat it is
not at all ~flattering to any German
to pe:sist i'm coupling all his inter
ests with lager beer. In your own,
as well as in the estimation OF
many Americans. the two words
"German and lager seem SYNONYM
Gus, and it is just about time fol
you ana all to know that though 6
German will ever be ready to de.
fend his personal liberty, he certain
ly will not be coaXed by the fac
that a certain trade is in DANCE
of doing less business, o
that one special representative o
this trade tres to make eloquent APP
peals in a paper like the Omaha
Post, every issue of which shows
duplicity that no German car O
will respect. The game of pressin!
Germans into the Democratic rank
by such maneuvering is too trans
parent, and little %flattering to them
1t will certainly do more harm
than good to the Democratic cause
DO you think Germans are fools
