Killed by q Jest.

A special from Cadiz, O., to- the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, says: The death yes
terday of Miss Alice Mcclellan, of New
Athens, discloses a romantic tragedy.
The girl, who was young, intelligent
and great favorite, but exceedingly
nervous, died after an illness of thirty
six hours, during which time she was
unconscious, three men being required
to hold her at times. Miss Mcclellan
was engaged to a young gentleman
named Nash, resident of the neigh
borhood, and highly esteemed. Satur-
day evening he called on Miss Mcclellan
and remained some time. When taking
his departure in jest he said to her thht
he had concluded to sever their rela-
tons, and there could be nothing be-
tween them but friendship The girl
was so affected that she sank. down intol.
a spasm that continued until her death
Every effort was made to restore her to
consciousness unavailingly. Nash, who
was frantic with grief, was constantly
in attendance, but his presence had no
effect on the lady. 1t is feared that
Nash will become insane. >:

Sometime you will miss me, darling!
Whent he long night shadows fall,
/ shall be beyond the starlight,
And l shall not hear you call.
You will wake ofttimes at midnight,
And will think Of one dear head
That your bosom softly pillowed
In the happy days now dead.
All the precious love you gave me
In the olden, happy time,
You will think Of, and will weave 1t
Deity into heartfelt rhyme.
You will miss met must he so,
But perhaps our God will give
Unto me, the power to cheer you,
And watch o'er you while you live.
i shall come, II He is willing,
At the lonely midnight hour,
And my presence, softly round you
Shall enfold, when storm clouds lower
Shielding you from every evil;
Though you may not see my face,
/ will never leave you lonely,
There shall be no vacant place.
All the hopes and aspirations,
All the precious love we've known,
These shall draw our souls together,
Round the great Eternal Throne.
Do not mourn for me, my darling;
Meekly bear the Christening rod
Think that 1 am with you always
I, who love you next to God.

A WOMAN IN BLACK.
A Kansas City Lady Comes to Omaha to
Save Her Daughter from a Life
of Shame.

ON aha Republican.
Sunday afternoon, about five O'Clock,
closed carriage was driven rapidly up
to one of the most prominent disreput-
able houess in the east part of the city,
and lady dressed in deep mourning
and heavily yelled alighted from the
same and, running up the steps, rang
the bell. The door opened and she dis
appe AIRED within, while the hackman
tied his horses and awaited her return.
Half an hour passed before she re-
appeared. She was crying bitterly and
talking in a reproachful manner to an
eighteen or nineteen year old girl who
followed her. The two entered the car
rage, a porter came out with trunk
and threw it on the drivers step, and
the whole outfit was driven away to the
depot.
Inquiries brought out the old, old
story, with, if possible, sadder circum-
stances connected with it than usual.
The lady in black was the mother and
the girl the daughter, and their home is
in Kansas City. Always. of rather
wayward disposition, the girl has for the
past two years been constant source
of misery to her parents, and culminat-
ed her escapades about year ago by
forming an attachment for prominent
Kansas City gambler. The father and
mother did everything in their power to
redeem their erring daughter and keep
her from evil associates, but six months
ago, in the death of the husband, one
protector was lost. For time, after
this bereavement, the young lady SEEM
ed to feel a shame for her past course,
and evinced an intention to live better
in the future, but about week ago she
and the man of chips disappeared SIM
ultaneously from the city. Learning
that they had come to Omaha, the near.
ly heartbroken mother followed them,
determined to save her daughter from
future shame if possible, and tracing
her into the house referred to, begged
her with tears in her eyes, to return
home. This the girl consented to do,
and the two went in company to Kan
sas City.

George Sands Love OF Country Life.

She adored the country, the fields
and woods and brooks. There was not
a road, or by-path, or rill in all the
province which George Sand did not
know. She has been called "the CLEAN
er of Berri." What Walter Scott has
done for Scotland, George Sand has
done for Berri. And yet, at the same
time, she was not insensible to the pc
culiar attractions of town life. Although
she seldom went to Paris, and especial
ly during the best years of her exist
ence, still, ike all the French, George
Sand had strong love for the great
city. She once wrote as follows to
Charles Poncy, the mason poet of Tou-
lon: "You do not know Paris. One
must be part of it, one must have
lived in it in order to understand the
charms of the various classes of its So
ciety. But I should not like to stay
there very long at one time the climate
does not agree with me, and 1 can not
live separate from nature and be de-
prived of its quietude.

CONSIDER.

Do we ever stop to consider
How little kind word may cost?
And If once the hasty word spoken
One chance in our life we have lost.
Do we stop to consider
All the sorrow one little word
May bring to the heart that is yearning
For the tones Of love seldom heard!
Do we ever stop to consider
How much sunshine is thrown away
When we close fast the door where kind
ness
Knocks anew to come in each dayf
Do we ever stop to consider
When everything seems to go wrong
That the fault we think is another's
Has been our own all the day long?
Now simple rule to consider,
And one l am sure we will mind,
Is to see what is the motive
For saying word that's unkind,
And If we take time to consider
The motive perhaps will grow small,
And l think in the end we will find
That there is no motive at all.

Mr.. EDITOR: The Bethel Literary As
ISOLATION has announced its intention to
give public entertainment at Lincoln
Hall on Emancipation evening. 1t has
always been the custom ofthe managers Of
the annual Emancipation Celebration to
close the parade Of that day with appro-
pirate exercises, such as speeches by prom
inent men, music, &c.
Tell me, pray you, Mr.. Editor, are the
president and executive board OF the fam
Gus Bethel Literary so badly informed
that they did not know that the Emanci-
patton Celebration would be carried out
as heretofore On the day and evening of
April 10th, or do they mean to run an OPP
position to the day we celebrate? The
president of the literary is a foreigner,
and undoubtedly has no regard for the
lately enslayed Negroes of America. But
the other members of the executive board
ought TO have some respect for their moth
ers and fathers ii not for themselves. Let
the Literary change the day for its enter
tainment, or let it meet condign failure.

THE YOUNG MEMS
REUNION.

There will be given next Thurs
day night at Mr.. Geo. W. Will
liams' Philadelphia House, an en-
tertainment tor the purpose of
bringing together the young men
of the District with the object of
consolidating them in behalf of
one of their number for delegate
to the National Republican Con-
vention at Chicago. The prime
object, however, is to see that men
are sent as delegates who are
heartily in favor of suffrage in the
district and who will have the ener-
gy and influence to have a plank
nailed in the platform guarantee
ing to the 100000 people here the
right of self government. The
young men have waited patiently
for the old politicians and men of
wide experience land much. profit
to do something effective to relieve
the citizens of the District from
their present political thrawldom,
but they have waited in vain, and
at last have determined to throw
off the calling yoke of political
slavery placed upon them by the
lack of politital sagacity and bad
management of the old politicians.
They propose at their re- union to
have a general interchange OF
opinions upon the political status
of the people of the District OF
Columbia and from that express
ion to mark out a policy for the
young men to pursue which have
the effect of restoring to this much
oppressed people the right of choos-
ing their own rulers. The young
men leading this movement are IN
dead ernest about the matter and
propose to regard all young men
with suspicion who play the lag
gard at this great crisis when their
political freedom is at stake.
They have thrown out invitations
to all young and public spirited
citizens to join them. and there is
no good reason why any young
man in favor OF suffrage here
should not take part, be he in
favor of one man or another for
the Chicago Convention.

THE PRESS CONVENTION.

The meeting of the press con-
vention at the Carson House on
last Tuesday evening was a very
exciting one. The young men
demonstrated the fact that they
were fine orators, but poor parli-
mentarians. One would have
presumed that it was a political
convention instead OF a conven-
ton Of journalists. There was
some very bad feeling existing on
the part Of some, but it is believed
that all left in a good humor. In
deed, the object for which the con-
vention was called was a good one
and every one seemed to be anX-
ious to make the affair a success.
Mr.. Steward, who was the prime
mover of the scheme was hohored
by being elected chairman and
also president of the News Bu-
reau, Mr.. A. st. A. Smith, general
manager, and Mr. r. S. Smith, of
the Globe, president of the Nation

PRESIDENT ARTHUR.

1t has been said that Psesident Ar
thur will sign the Fitz John Porter bill
when it is presented to him. We can
not believe the report. President Arthur
is too loyal to the republic to do such a
disgraceful act. He would not dare to
insult the memory of Lincoln by causing
the Secretary of War to reinstate this man
who had been convicted of disloyalty.
1t will be a disgrace to the government.
When our great Senator from Illinois
spoke last week he made treason tremble;
he pictured the act of this traitor in Ian
guage that would have defied Cicero.
In opposing the passage of this bill, Sem
ator Logan said: 1" In 1865, when war had
ceased, when our citizens were no longer
aroused by the distant rumbling of artil-
cry, when blood had ceased to flow, and
the good women of our country, as minis
tering angels, had ceased to smooth the
brow of the weary and wounded soldier,
when all breathed freely once more, we
then had reason to suppose that all things
necessarily connected with the pursecu-
ton of the war against rebellion would
remain undisturbed, and that all pro-
ceedings on the part of those in charge
Of national affairs which had been con-
Quoted in accordance with the laws and
the Constitution were settled forever upon
principles of equity and justice. Talk
about this being trial Of Fitz Porter,
sir, he has been tried and convicted, and
twenty years have passed, but to-day he
appears as prosecutor before the Con-
gress of the United States against court
legally authorized, against the martyred
President of that time. 1t is the trial of
those who are live; it is the trial of the
graves of those who are dead with charge
that they delt unjustly by him; that they
dealt with prejudice against him; that
they violated the laws i'm their verdict;
that they misconstructed the evidence;
that they rendered an unjnst and an un-
justifiable decision against him. These
are the questions that we are called upon
to-day to determine. Where can more
sublime sentiments be found2 Senator
Logan indeed echoes the sentiments of
the American people. If the bill passes
the House we appeal to President Ar
thur in the name of our martyred presi-
dent and the thousands Of Union soldiers
who are dead beneath the sod, not to sign
the bill. The nation will weep, and the
widows of the dead soldiers will give q
universal condemnation. Let not the
bill be signed.
