There is another democratic row-this time
in New Jersey, and the peace of mind of the
national democracy is again disturbed. The
democrats of New York held their State Con-

would not allow the use of his name. Several
ballots were taken amid confusion. At last the
tide seemed to turn in favor of Abbot how
ever, and when the chairman declared he was
elected the widest confusion ensucd. The Al

nomination and declared they would bolt. A
motion to make the motion unanimous was

delegates dispersed. The final vote, according
to the secretary, showed 3333 votes for Abbot. or

A man in Auburn cleaned out his well one
day last week. The well hadn't been used for
ten years, but the present drouth drove him to
the necessity of increasing the family water
supply. The curb was dapidated and the
stones around the upper edge falling in and
were grass grown. There was nothing but an
old tin can or two at the bottom of the well.
and not Il drop of water He dug three feet
and unearhed lots of strange things There's
u silver mug used to have" says his daughter
who was looking into the well. The strange
and wonderful things unearthed can not be
enumerated. He pulled out broken crockcry,
pots and pals and spoons. Everything, he
says, that has been lost for twenty years
turned up in the bottom of the well. The
strangest thing discovered, however, was a
battered tin pail and inside of it nearly four
feet below the surface We're about twenty
pumpkin seeds as perfect as they We're when
grown except slight discoloration. Judging
by the depth below ground they couldn't have
been in the well less than thirty years. The
pail was rusted almost beyond consistency.

PBEPlNG At The POST.
How Council Blufs First Secured
Theatrical Amusements.
The Early Theatre and Those who
Strobe Over the Stage.

During the long winters in early times,
before the advent of railroads, the people
here were comparatively isolated from
the outside world, and about the only
amusement was in balls and parties.
With the commencement of the cold
winter of "56," however, quite a number
of ladies and gentlemen organized a
dramatic association. Among these were
Miss Della Jackson, Mrs. Haggerty, Mrs.
b. F. Smith, Mrs. n. T. Spoor, Colonel
Rabbit, Samuel Perrin, Mr.. Henderson,
Mr.. Cutter, George f. Smith, Captain
| Spoor and others, while Messrs. Field,
Griffey, Foote and Kuhn composed the
orchestra. The third story of the build
ing now occupied by Mr.. Bell, on Broad
way near First street, was fitted up in
good shape, with raised seats, a neat
stage, etc. The season opened with
''The Forest Rose, and Paddy Miles
Boy" This was the first presentation
of the legitimate drama to a Council
Bluffs audience, and was a decided sue
cess. During the winter several heavier
pieces were c~rcditably rendered, among
which were 1.-THE Robbers" 1.-The Lady
of Lyons" "The Beacon of Death, etc,
with an occasional jig dance by Wall Nc
Fadden, comic songs by Mr.. Piper, and
Highland fling by Fanny Kellogg, then a
pretty little miss of perhaps 10 or IL
years.
This was purely an amateur association,
gotten up for amusement, with an admis-
sion fee to cover expenses.
In the spring of 1867 following, the
first professional troupe put in an APP
pearancc. This was composed of Mr..
and Mrs. Heely, Mr.. and Mrs. Powell,
Mr.. and Mrs. Cruft, Mr., Morrison and
Mr.. White. This company appeared
with the ''Maniac Lover" and played to
good houses for about a month.
After this we were visited by different
troupes, who stayed from one to three
nights, until the fall of 1866 when Henry
Burhop fitted up the hall now owned by
Mrs. Platner, and known as Turner Hall.
This was quite MI event. 1t was neatly
arranged with good stage and scenery,
and comfortably seated. The manager

Demoralizing the Army.

New York Times.
During the period beginning March l,
1877, and ending Jan. l, 1881, no less
than thirty officers of the army were con-
victed of various oflenses and were SEN
fenced to dismissal from the service; but
their sentence were set aside or commu-
ted. Is it any wonder that recent scan
dals have led observing men to remark
that a publication of the military service
is quite as needful as in the civil service?
What is to become of the much
vaunted morale of the army of the
United States, if social and political in
fluence can make impossible the expul-
sion of thieves, perjurers, %drunkards, and
men who are officially declared to be IN
thirty officers above referred to, some
were convicted of issuing false vouchers,
others of drunkenness en duty, cruelty
to enlisted men, selling pay accounts
twice over, personal assaults, and of on
duct unbecoming gentlemen. All were
sentenced to be dismissed or suspended
for n year or more from the ser
vice, and some of them were wholly re-
stored within six months from the date
of their sentence. 1t would be interest
ing to know the status of these disgraced
officers now that they are back in the
service. Are they recognized rs gentle
men as well as officers bytheir associates
Or are they sent to Coventry, made to
feel daily the contempt of those among
whom by special favor they are permitted
to remain.
There are frequent complaints from the
people of the costliness and alleged use
l~essness of the Military Academy. 1t is
with difficulty ut times that that institu'
ton receives from congress the support
which it justly needs and which the
nursery of the army must have if we are
tary service. The popular prejudic,
is reflected in congress, and thai
prejudice is deepened by the re
peated scandals that have disgraceC
the army. Those who think well of
military establishment, and who woult
do what they can to buttress the presen
system, must beware of those who pres
for commutation and aversions of sen
fences imposed by court-martial. AS
|. general thing, the conclusion of a court
, martial has the honest approval of ever,
, military man. Yet, as we have shown
, they are too often set aside, and the cul
prit is restored to the rank which he dis
graced. Nothing but a strict enforce
q ment of discipline can save tn
army from the accusation that Yves
Point graduates gamblers, drunkards
forgers and thieves. Yet, while the mil
Q itary academy is turning out every yea
forty or fifty candidates for army com
missions, a mistaken clemency retains il
j the service men who have been convicte,
of ofienses which should debar themfron
the army. Let the ~convicts step out an,
give place to better men. This is wha
the best interests of the military servio,
: demand. If these repeated warnings ar,
not needed, the morale of the army o
: the United States will vanish.

SIX Dog Stories,

In n dwelling house that was burned
near North Adams, Mass, three children
were sleeping, their parents being away
from home. The house dog succeeded in
getting into the children's room and
rescued them with great difficulty, as two
of them had tainted.
As a dog in South Bend, Indiana, was
quietly gnawing a bone, n cat crawled
out from under the sidewalk on the oppo-
site side of the street, and, rushing close
up to the jaws of the dog, made off with
the bone before the astonished dog could
recover sufficiently to pursued it.
A dog at New Castle, Pa, was for
twelve years the inseperable companion
of Sidney Davis. Davis died recently
and after searching in vain for his master
the dog finally settled down in his arm
chair and awaited his coming. 1t requir-
ed stratcgem toaot him otake thesmallest
quantity of food, and he gradually pined
away and died.
A Boston lady had a dog which, when
it or its friend the cat wished to go into
the kitchen, stood by the door and allow
cd the cat to jump upon its back. The
cat could her reach one paw over the
latch, and by pressing the other paw on
the t%humbpiece was able to open the
door. The cat would then drop on the
dogs back and ride into the kitchen in
triumph.
The American Register of Paris has
the following: A Bordeaux merchant
has an immense mastitf named Lion,
which was the wonder of the Paris dog
show. A few years ago, as Lion was
walking with his master along the quay,
they met a little dog showing evident
symptoms of madness and followed by
an excited crowd, among whom were two
sergeants de vile with drawn swords.
Lion, quick as thought, pounced upon
the mad dog, seized it by the neck with
his capacious jaws, carried it to the
waters edge, jumped into the canal, anC
held it under water until it was drowned
On returning to the shore he received
quite an ovation, the crowd escortinl
him home, where his master gave him al
extra feed. The mastiff seemed so de
lighted at the result of his exploit tina
when he afterwards met any little dog
in the street he seized upon and drowned
them in the same manner, until finally
he had to be kept constantly muzzled.
Two coon dogs belonging to Tim Buck
ner, a North Carolina negro, visited tn,
court room during the trial of their mas
ter for melting a riot, and sat by his side
After he was sent to Jail they took VI
their station at the Jail yard door. Dur
ing the entire term of his Imprisonment
these dogs did not stay away a nigh
from their post. They relieved eacl
other during the day to get food, but a
night both were constantly at the door
The townspeople have now built u kenne
for the dogs near the Jail door within
sight of Buckner's window.
