Onaha'S New Jail.

Omaha Bee.
The cells are arranged in the form of
a great iron cylinder; which revolves
about SO that only one cell is at the op-
ening Mt any one time. This cylinder
is three stories high, there being ten cells
on each floor. It's weight is forty-five
tons, and this ponderous weight is hung
from above, instead of turning on a
track below. The strangest part of the
arrangement is that the great cylinder
can be turned by simple crank with
the left hand moving it readily. When
it is complete it is the intention to have
a little water motor in the basement, and
then by simply moving lever the cyl
inder will be set to rotating. 1t is sug-
gested that when there are prisoners
who it S feared may be trying to cut
out, the cylinder can, by a motor, be
easily kept moving slowly all night so
that the prisoners do not remain long
enough in one place to do any mischief
or to crawl out if they had made par
tial break 1t seems that prisoners have
little chance for escape from the new
Jail. A cage of iron bars completely
surrounds the cylinder in which the cells
are. The entrance on each floor is
guarded by two doors. The officer
standing outside does not have to unlock
even the first door, but can swing the
cylinder around until the cell appears in
which is the desired prisoner, and then
by a simple movement the inner door is
opened and theprisoner can.step out of
his cell Then the officer can open the
other door and let the man out. but the
other prisoners are way beyond any pos
sible reach of the officer, and it is impos-
sible for them to make any break on him
while he is taking a man out or putting
one in. He can handle any number of
men in the same way, and they cannot
reach him until he choose to let them.

SAN DIEGO, Ten, April 16.--The
spring weather which has at last set
in, has been and is very pleasant, but
rather too much so, for we are begin
ming to fear that we won't get 1.-THE
rain in it's due season. We have had
the first rain, but now are needing
"the latter rain" and great spprehen-
sions are felt by our people. The fact
is, that so far we have had splendid
prospect of fine crop year, and our
aldianos and raneheros have planted
more extensively than ever before,
and q good soaking rain now Is much
wanted. If we can only get 1t in time
1t will bring this country out splendid

dure another drought, in the most ele-

A GREAT deal has been made of the action
of Mr.. Henry Norman, boot and shoe dealer
in Chicago. In 1874 the pressure Of hard
times caused him to fail in business, and his
creditors accepted fifty cents on the dollar,
after which he was legally released from fur
ther obligation to his creditors. He went into
business again in small way, and so pros
pered that he is now able to pay the remaining
half of his Indebtedness of eleven years ago,
amounting to $3S, 900. This he proceeded TO
do and now owes no man dollar. This was
very creditable to Mr. Herman, and he has
justly received great many encomiums.
But these expressions Of admiration
have revealed very discreditable feature in
human nature in general. He has been the
recipient of scores Of letters from his old
creditors, who lavish unstinted praise upon
his action. One firm writes that during a
business experience of sixteen years he was
the only man who had paid them anything
after having been freed from legal obligation.
Another, that while they remembered that
lie had said he would some time pay in full,
they knew that promises to pay under such
circumstances had rarely been fulfilled An
other creditor regarded the payment as a gift.
II have never known" said he, ''of case
where received ono cent after accepting the
amount agreed on, and am over fifty"
Among other expressions were the following:
"Almost unparalleled and certainly most
praiseworthy." ''The most striking instance
of commercial honor it has ever been our good
fortune to witness 1.-THE greatest surprise
I ever received since | have been in business.
'It seems you recognize higher obligation,
which but one man in ten thousand seems to-.
Such an act, in these times of seeming uni
versa1 greed, is truly refreshing"
These letters were supplemented by a set of
eulogistic resolutions, formally drawn and
signed by nearly forty Eastern shoe dealers,
all creditors participating in the benefits Of
Mr.. Horman's honorable settlement Now,
while this is very fattering to this exceptional
merchant, the other side of the picture, Incl
dentally revealed, can but be humiliating.
That commercial honor is so rare as to set the
papers, East and West, talking over one in
stance is shame upon human nature, and
