A Painters Models,

A celebrated Abruzzese painter is
about to put on canvas the character
istic representation of q curious festi.
val held at little mountain church once
a year. The peasants walk in process
sion, carrying round their arms, waists,
necks. ETC., all the snakes they can find.
Sig. Michetti, the artist, has quaint
little villa on the shores of the Adri-
attic. He was lately visited by q friend,
to whom he showed all the curiosities
of the villa, and then opening small
door into dark chamber, into which
he entered for a.moment, he called out |:
II have something still better to show
you. Take these. The friend held
out his arms, and to his horror five or
six black snakes were put into them.
With cry Of disgust he threw them to
the ground. aHow stupid you are .
said Michetti. You will make me lose
all my modelsl" He then explained to
his friend that he was making studies
Of life for his great picture. The Curl
GUS festival, which is to be the subject
Of the painting, is believed by the peas
ants to preserve them from poison and
sudden death, ana to bring them good
fortune, especially in lovs.

The fret seems almost prophetic, Viewed In
the light OF the great modern uprising OF the
women OF the country to save the country's
homes.
1t was offered and advocated by Hon. Theo
dore FrelinGhuysen, OF New Jersey;
Rts0lred, That the influence OF woman is
essential TO tho triumph OF every great and
good cause; and should that Influence, which
God has graciously given her, be universally
and perseverinply eXerted In favor OF tho
be certain and complete, and its blessings,
while richly enjoyed by herself and those
whom she leves, would bo extended TO all peo.
pie and porpetuated to all ages.
The following was offered aud advocated by
Hon. Daniel wardwell, OF New York, and
adopted
ReS0frtd, That ms the universal diffusion OF
knowledge and virtue is essential to the pur-
ity and permanence OF FREQ institutions, we

In the Honse on satnrdav nn nmend

IN the House on Saturday an amend
ment to the rules was adopted assigning
the second and fourth Mondays in the
month, after the call Of States, for the cou-
sideration of business reported from the
Committee on the District of Columbia,
This will, If a quorum can be kept In the
House, give the District chance for
hearing, which it has not been afforded
during the three months Congress has been
in session. Hitherto, when such a rule has
been adopted, a want of quorum would usu-
ally be developed soon after the House got on
District business the point insisted on by
some impracticable or hostile Member, and
an early adjournment, with nothing done,
would be the final result. Is is to be hoped
tho District will receive more attention
from the Members of tho present House.

Professor Jecko's Marrow Escape.

During the morning services at the Taber.

discoursing upon 'Loose Him and Let Him
Co." tho Professor, who presides at tho organ,
took the hint ana tumbled over in the pit, his
chair on top OF him, much TO the consterua-
tion and amusement OF the choir and congre-
gation.
It was supposed at first that he was inter-
nally injured, as ho did not show up from be-
hind the Dalustrade, which caused grave
doubts as 10 tho extent OF his injuries; but all
doubts and grave apprehenslons were re-
moved during the graveyard quiet which
followed "Let us pray" when he apparently
regRined consciousness and courage and grad.
ually reappeared, glowing as a lobster and as
bewildcred as cat In strange garnet.

A Rare Treat.

The Plunkett Sisters, decidedly the
best dramatic company that have visit
ed this city, appeared at McClellen' s
Hall, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings,
in the two popular plays, "Ticket of
Leave Man" and the Serious Family"
There are nine in this company and all
good actors. The celebrated melodrama,
''Ticket of Leave Man." brought out
a full house Tuesday night. The play
was excellent, and at times they kept
the audience in continuous uproarous
laughter. Their excellent entertain
ment brougt out full house Wednesday
evening. The 'Serious Family" which
they acted that evening was the best of
all. 1t fairly set the audience wild.
They were to have been with US three
nights, but owing to the bad weather
Monday night it threw them out of one
nights engagement, which our public
regretted very much. Should they ever
visit US again they will be greeted with
a crowded house.-Blue Hill Times.

Joseph Odwarker Of Dorchester, this
state, was in town a number of DAYS
last week. He informed us that he had
purchased all the property owned by
Fred. Vondres in McCook, and that he
would complete the dwelling house
started by Mr.. Vondres on the lot west
Of Supt. Campbell's residence. He also
made trade with H. G. Rider by which
he became owner of the skating rink
property, giving, we understand, his lot
adjoining and 5000 cash. He will in
the course of time make McCook his
permanent abode, and thinks now that
she discounts any town in the Repuoli-
can Valley, and we are like opinion.

Our city council of saloon-keepers and
their assistants imagine that they have
found an ordinance by which The Slo-
cumb law may be evaded. They propose
to harmonic with the state law requir-
ing $1,000 to be paid at once for
license, by taking $3.50 when the saloon
opens, $3.50 after three months, $3.50
after six months and $3.50 at the end
Of nine months. At this juncture 81 900
will have been paid, and a license will
be issued. Thus our saloons will run
nine months without license. This is
beautiful manner Of beating the devil
around the bush, and if there Is any
legal method ofpreventing it, somebody
ought to ''come to the front" with the
method. tits more than passing strsnge
that the liquor interests of this city
cannot find it judicious to obey decent
law, preferring instead by their efforts
at lawlessness to offer premium for
the prohibition movement that is raging
on every side Of us.-Republican.

A party from York county, number
ing Twenty-Five, were in McCook, Sat-
urday, entering land which they had
selected in Frontier county, during a
land hunt Of some days duration. And
a we'll pleased party were they. We
were pleased to meet a number of the
party, and to note their establishment
at finding so fine a country. Among the
number was Mr.. Morgan of the York
Republican, one of the early settlers Of
York county. He passed up the Re-
publican Valley three years ago, and
was at that time impressed with the be-
lief that it was only a matter Of a few
years when this valley would be teeming
with people, and he now sees strong
move in that direction. He was partic-
ularly surprised at finding such "phe'
nomenal town as McCook. "No town
of its size and age in the state has such
an air Of substantially and elegance as
your town. and other like expressions
evidenced his surprise.
