We perceive that there is mourn
ing ut the eastern terminus of the
u. p. Railroad over the order for the
| removal of the present Military Com
mander of this Department to the
more genial cline of Texas. The
wall, il is true, m up principally
from Doc. Miller, of the Omaha
Herald, who is rather fulsOme in his
praises of Gen. Ord, a little low in
his abuse of Gen. Augur, and sheer
ing in his comments on Gen. Crook.
But "why these tears ?" There
will be no more fear of drought in
Nebraska than there has been for the
last three years. 1t is presumed land
hoped) that the new ONE will use
a little more wafer and soap than the
Outgoers, but there will still he an
abundance of these comforts left for
LAYING and agricultural purposes.
And then the Department is not to
be robbed of that great philanthropy
list, "Gras5hopper Jim" 1t is said
that Jim is the sense keeper, the
bosom companion, the Fidus AchdteS
of the present Commander, but as he
is a Major in one of the cavalry regi-
ments and not on the staff, he will.
probably be left as a choice legacy to
Gen. Crook.
Now a real, and we fear irrepara-
BILE, loss will accrue in this change, to
the literary circles of Omaha, for no
more will they enjoy the keen wit
and clever satire of the elegant gen.
tlemen on the personal staff" as
they sit around the festive boards of
the literati of the eastern terminus.
The youth of that town will also
be no small losers in this: that those
noble Chesterfieldian forms, those
exquisitely dressed figures and those
recently gotten up toilettes will be
removed from Omaha society, and
thus the esthetic taste Of the rising
generation at the terminus may be

1t is proposed by some OF our
citizens, whose means are limited, to
form a stock association, for the pur-
pose of uniting their means, and to
invest the same in stock cattle. In
this way, the expense attending the
care OF cattle would be largely reduced,
as it costs about the same amount to
care for five hundred head as it does
for five thousand. A meeting of those
projecting this enterprise, and of those
who favor it, will be held in this city,
or April 5th. at the Office of ". w.

II Omaha men mean business
about that Transportation Company,
they do not want TO indulge in any
silly Sidney foolishness. Here is the
point they want to start from, the
junction of the Union Pacific and
Kansas Pacific railroads, and they
need not touch the Sioux reservation
at all to land passengers at the Black
Hills. There is only reserved To the
Indians the right to hunt in Wyo-
ming, north of the North Platte, SO
long rs the buffalo range in such num-
bers as to justify the chase. Indians
and whites know hat the buffalo no
longer ranges in that section at all.
If Omaha men take any "stock"-as
Prof Hayden terms tin the Black
Hills, this is the proper starting point
for them. The right to hunt in
Northern Wyoming will, in all hu-
man probability, be snapped off by
the Indians next month, for blankets,
tobacco, bacon, flour, sugar, coffee,
etc, but their permanent reservation
will remain where it is, and they lOiH
want that cOyner Of Nebraska which
they nolU occupy added to it. Across
that section they will not permit the
public to travel to and from the Black
Hills.

in danger OF degenerating. Let these
youths r~ecUIIect, however, that As long
as the sportive coon is to be found in
Nebraska, a cap as beautiful rs the
One worn by their (late) Military
Commander can always be procured,
and IA long as there is no fuTther rise
in the price OF cotton, a shirt collar,
fit for George the Fourth himself,
can be procured at trifiing expense.
To the sporting fraternity at the
terminus aud vicinity, we will only
remark that as there are as good fish
in the sea as eve came ont of il, 50
there may be coming from the PacI-
fc slope some who a sit rs grace
fully behind a pile OF ch ps and a
cigar as any of those who are to be
torn away from them.
And so, we do not indulge in the
belief that this Department will be a
loser, TO any great extent, by the
change. We must judge of men by
their record. No general officer in
the army stands higher in the esti-
nation of the country than the gen.
tleman who is to succeed Gen. Ord.
Wherever he has been he has solved
| the Indian question e~ffectually- He
is a gentleman, we have heard, Of
cIeanly personal habits; free from
eccentricities, pr~cjudices and vices.
He is the last person to lend. himself
to rings gotten up for the private
benefit of officers or civilians, and
persons, both in civil and mill
tary service, will, we believe, be
tolerably certain OF knowing what
Gen. Crook will do when they know
what he says he will do. So, we
say, welcome to Gen. Crook, and to
the "late Commander" we say
Farewell the lovely troop
And the coon skin cap
And all that gallant p~halanx,
oil Farewell!
Farewell Placidus; and
Then. oh, Hugh, farewell;
And when from other chimes
'Twould seem most Mt
To send for those choice souls
You've left behind you,
Speak but the word, and quick
Wen strap slim Jim" upon

Fortunately the bullet had entered

Innocence ana obstInacy.
fDetroit Free Press.l

The other evening Detroit joker
slipped little pink love letter into
the pocket of staid old citizen, as
they were riding on the street car.
OF course, the old citizens wife made
dive for his overcoat pockets as she
passed through the hall, and, when
she digested the love letter, she de-
termined to commit suicide. While
going up stairs after her bonnet, she
got mad and changed her mind.
Walking into the room where he sat
before cheerful fire, she exclaimed:
'Loves you better than her own
life, eh?''
"Who-what?' he inquired.
"And she wants to know how the
bald-headed wife of yours gets along,
ehY'
81 really-I can't
"And she wants $50 to buy her a
set of fars, does she?"
"Why, Mary-why, what are you
talking about?''
"Ohl it's come out-Pve got the
proofsr' she shouted, making a dash
for his hair.
The worthy man has sworn the
most solemn oaths to his innocence;
offered to let her employ a detective
to shadow him; accounted for every
hour of his absence during the last
year, and furnished fifty theories in
regard to the letter, and yet the wife
coldly remarks that she is staying
there solely on the children's account.

A Man With a Fork in His

Does any body remember the Man
with the Fork, that unfortunate
clerk of the great store of the Prin-
tempts, who pretending to swallow u
fork one day, really did swallow it
for good and all? | related his pa
thetic story in my letter at that time.
For about a week the poor follow
was the sensation of all Paris. The
illustrated papers gave his portrait
and q picture OF the fork. The
comic papers caricatured him. He
was made the subject of comic songs
and comic acts at the variety thea
ters, and of endless jokes in the dali
ly press. Medical science and skill
were found powerless to relieve him
of his internal piece of silyerware,
and he was finally discharged from
the hospital with the fork still lodg-
ed in his stomach. More than year
has elapsed since. then, and of course
he ought to have died long ago. But
he is still alive, and as well as pOssi-
bic under the circumstances. He re-
sides in Dion, but is shortly to re-

4 most remarkable discovery is re-
ported from the astronomical obsery-
atory established by the Russian
government several years ago at
Pamleteska, the highest point with
one exception on the Himaiayail
range. For several months peca-
liar bright spot had been discovered
shining from the extreme edge Of the
moons disc, at point where no
mountains breaI. the continuity of
IT'S perlmeter 1,his light suddenly
disappeared and remained Invisible
tor nearly twelve months. 1t has
lately reappeared in greater bril-
liancy than ever, and the immense
power of the telescope attached to
the above observatory, so well known
in the scientific world, has developed
the fact that the light proceeds from
some huge FURNISHED substance, act
ing as< ssirror, which must he at
least 100 feet in diameter. The most
astonishing thing in the matter is
the almost complete proof that this
is actually mirror of artificial cou-
-struction, and the theory of the, sa-
vans at Pamleteska is that it is erect
ed for observations of a scientific
character, principally.to observe the
earth's surface. s-a -
1t is well known that the immense
height OF that portion of the moon
which is turned toward the earth,
not only through the well known
laws of grayitation, keeps that por-
tion of her surface. presented toward
us, hut renders it uninhabitable. 1t
is supposed that the side turned from
us may have an atmosphere suitable
for animal life, and that Intelligent
beings observing the halo of light
she'd around its horizon by reflections
from the earth, may have taken this
means to ascertain the cause. Some
ingenious device to place u mirror at
Il height where animal life could not

be hoped that this discovery may lead
to others in regard to our interesting

Vanished Fractional Currency

An interesting fact in connection
with the loss and destruction Of frac-
tional currency is asccrtained from
the Treasury Department. 1t is very
well known that the Government is
yearly the gamer by large amount
by the disappearance of small notes
and currency. But the figures re-
garding the three and five-cent issues
of fractional currency, when it is re-
membered how many Of them it is
required to make a dollar, are partic-
ularly interesting. The issue of these
notes ceased in April, 1869, at which
time there had been issued $500, 900
of the denomination of three cents,
and So, 100000 of the five-cent series.
Although over six years have elapsed,
there are still outstanding $92, 900 in
three-cent notes, and over 81, $40, 600
of the five-cent. issue.-Washingt0n

The Passions That Indnce Dis
ease

The passions which act most Sc
yerely ON the physical life are anger,
fear. hatred and grief The other
passions are comparatively innocu,
Gus. What is called the passion of
love is not injurious until it lapses
into grief and anxiety; on the con-
trary, it sustains the physical power.
What is called ambition is of itself
harmless; for ambition. when it ex-
lists purely, is nobility lifting its
owner entirely from himself into the
exalted service OF mankind. 1t in
jures when it is debased by its
meaner ally. pride; or when, stimula-
ting man To too strenuous efforts af-
ter some great object, it leads him to
the performance OF excessive mental
or physical labor and to the conse-
quences that follow ss.eh eIiort.
The passion called ayafiees accord
ing to my experience, tends rather to
the preservation of the body than to
its deterioration. The avarieious
man, who seems to the luxurious
world to be debarring himself of all
the pleasures of the world. and even
to be exposing himself to the fangs of
poverty, is generally placing himself
in the precise conditions favorable
to a long and healthful existence.
BY his economy, he is saving himself
from all the worry incident to penury;
by his caution he is screening him
self from all the risks incident to
speculation or the attempt to amass
wealth by hazardous means; by his
regularity of hours and perfect ap-
preparation of the sunlight, in pref
erence to artificial illumination, he
rests and works in periods that pre-
cisely accord with the periodicy of
nature; by his abstemiousness in liv-
ing he takes just enough to live,
which is precisely the right thing to
do according to the rigid natural law.
Thus, in almost every particular, he
goes on his way freer than other men
from the external causes of all the in
duced diseases, and better protected
than most men from the worst conse-
quences of those diseases which
spring from causes that are uncon-
trOllable.- DIR. B. W. Richardson,
