To casual reader the above may have
little import. or make but passing impress s.

well known there will come the wish, if not
the opportunity to express their sincere con-
gratulations. More than year had Dea.

relatives in Ohio, and his place in church
and society had remained vacant, nor did
we anticipate the surprise he was preparing
for US on his return, for now

To none could the words of the poet be more
fittingly applied than to the bride, for those
qualities that so attract one, had long en-
deared her to large circle of friends. The
wedding was quiet one. but friends of Mr.
and Mrs. Rhodes soon surprised them by
their presence, bringing congratulations and
leaving rare and costly gifts. On a bright
glad day of October when Nature had decke d
herself in gorgeous robes, as if for a gala oce
casion, they started homeward, stopping a
day in Madison with Dea, Beardsley's son,
member of the University, reaching Mr.. Ed,
ward Garsiie's on Saturday evening There
was no time for reception only as we made
one of our " Sooiables," which occurred on
the following Thursday evening. when friends
gathered to welcome them "Home again.

Bloomington Notes.

1t is nearly four years since my pen
chronicled to the HERALD the finding of
white child among a party OF strolling In.
dians camped on the banks Of the Mississippi
river. This discovery caused quite an ex-
citement, especially as at one time there was
strong probability of his being the lost
Charlie Ross. His age and whole appear
ahce SO strikingly agreed with the published
descriptions Of Charlie that correspondence
was at once commenced with the parents in
Philadel phia,to come and identify their child
but so numerous had been former applica-
tons, and as often had all efforts been fruit
less, the parents had little faith that this
waif was their lost child, and he was adopt.
ed BY Mr.. Hartford who rescued him from
the Indians. He was lovable child, bright
and intelligent, and his foster-parents be.
came strongly attached to him, and deeply
mourn his early death, which occurred on
Tuesday evening, October 18th, and on Fri
day he was buried in Wyalusing. He had
been i'll for two weeks but not alarmingly So
nor die his parents summon medical aid til
too late 70 save him from the ravages of q
slow typhoid fever. A feeling OF sadness
comes over one as they think how long
years ego some mother perchance in a far
distant home mourned for her darling boy
and now again his foster parents grieve for
him as for their own dear child.
Mrs. l.. A. Osborne has just returned
from brief visit to Mrs. Welsh ir Virginia
bringing back her sister, Miss Laura Will
son, who for several years has resided ir
Washington, ID. G. Many friends OF Miss
Wilson will regret to learn that partial los:
of sight has now become almost total blind
ness, battling the best medical skill that coult
be obtained in this country. And so III,

heart OF humanity goes steadily onl Happ,
are those in whose cup the drops of griei
are sparingly mingled. E. j. M. N.

Tilden at Home and at Work.

Joe Howard in Philadelphia Times.
That Mr.. Tilden himself is in q dis.
turbed condition of mind there is am
pie evidence. He confines himself
now almost constantly to his home, on
the parlor floor Of which, in the rear,
is an enormous library, utilized by q
corps Of clerks, secretaries and at
tendants, who are constantly e1amin-
Ing books, marking papers, filing doc
uments and sending packages of this,
that and the other to various
sections of the country. I doubt
If there is a detective bureau in the
world more admirably organized than
that which, centering in Gramercy
park, conveys to the interested cipher
or all manner of secrets and all kinds
Of information. While it is utterly
impossible for the average visitor to
grain access to Mr.. Tilden's presence,
he is ceasslessly occupied in entertain.
ing, listening to, advising with and
instructing his friends and those in
his employ. No buster man lives
than he, and how his attenuated
physique sustains the labor imposed
upon 1t by his restless energetic
and suggestive brain is n of the
marvels of the day. That he is very
seriously affected by the disclosures
made since the adjournment of the
convention, particularly by the
speech of Senator Jacobs, is very evil
dent. Coupes and carriages rattle to
his door, a stream of eager and inter-
ested parties constantly tug at his bell,
the patience and slippers of his ser
wants are well nigh exhausted, and
every evidence of a brisk and desper-
ate campaign is afforded to the neigh
bors, or to such a. care to put a watch
upon his movements. g

while he travels over the country

WI hope our councilmen will not
delay the proposed extension of the
fire limit beyond the next council

thatthe building of more frame houses
in the business portion of the city be
stopped, as a measure of self-preser-
walton, and everymoment's delay only
increases the risk of a terrible coria-
grafton. Omaha has, so far, been very
lucky in escaping wholesale destruc-
ton by FIRE, but we cannot hope to es-
c,pe always. Every frame house built
upon our principal thoroughfsres adds
material for the inevitable disaster and
it is a crime against this community
to permit the further erection of tin

to where German is spoken, and the
habits and customs, the laws aud the
government, are all Of IN unmixed
German character? Why should the
millions OF immigrants from Father
land be condemned to lose their nstive
tongue, to forget the land of their
origin, and sooner or later to be
swallowed up in foreign races2 For
such assuredly is and has always been
their fate in America, in the numer-
GUS British colonies, as we'll as in the
colonies of France and Spain. Until
within the past two or three years
questions like these, often a. they
were mooted, eve led to any prac-
tical result. Germans still continued
to immigrate in their tens of thou.
sands and sometimes hundreds Of
thousands yearly. They still
continued to supply a large,
steady, hard-working, lsw-abiding
contingent to the British colonies, and
particularly to the United States, and
they still continued tt i, sooner
or later, their fate of forgetting their
mother tongue and literature and OF
being absorbed in the dominant race.
The reason of this state Of things was
always set down to the fact that at
home Germany itself was not united;
that there was no German feet; that
until the Bismarckian era neither
Germany nor any state in Germany
was able, either by help of material
naval resources or by the respect the
German Lame inspired, to take pos
session of and to defend any of the
u~noccupied of savage territories of the
earth such as might be adapted to re-
ceive a German colony. The idea of
German colonies vas, In fact, re-
signed as a hopeless dream. Since
the uni6cation of Germany under the
present emperor a change has been
rapidly coming over the popular
notions as to the practicability of
founding German colonies abroad.
Schemes of this description are now
no longer looked upon as utterly i'm
practicable. Within the past two or
three years the subject has been con-
stantly agitated in Germany. A CEN
trail society has been in existence in
Berlin for some time, whose special
object it is to bring the question to q
practical issue. A pamphlet published
last year by DR.. Fsbri, a Rhenish &c.
clesiastic, advocating the foundation
of German colonies, rapidly ran
through several editions and produced
adeep impression on the nation. Sew
eral debates have been held In the
German parliament, the general tone
of which was wholly favorable 10 the
policy of the German government
awaiting itself of any, or of the earliest,
opportunity of planting the German
flag on any territory adapted to be-
come a German colony.
