are settling back into the melancholy Of
yesterday. Two aldermen of each ward
and three citizens thereof have been APP
pointed to condemn all unsafe buildings.
Berkeley, the chairman Of the committee,
bas entered upon his duties but he
knows not what to do, where to begin
or when to stop. He freely declared
that if fire had swept the
city it would have been repairable, for
in that case the insurance would have
helped to repair the waste places.
SHOWERS OF PEBBLES.
The sensation to-day is the falling OF
pebbles in the lower part of the city.
The first fall was at 80 this morning
and the second at about IL O'Clock.
They appeared to fall in a
slanting direction from the south to the
north. There are morsels of flint among
them and all are plainly absaided and
worn by the action of the water, Some
have sharp fractures and have evidently
been recently broken, The fact of the
fell is youcbed for by several trust
worthy persons. The bulk OF the pebbles
fell in and around the News and Courier
Offices.

Omaha Bee, Sd: Yesterday morning 8
passengers on the b. g. M. saw what old
settlers claimed to be a most unusual o.
currence. It was nothing less than the
fording of ebout twenty head of cattle
across the Missouri river, a shor. distance
above Plattsmouth. There was nobody
in charge of the herd. They seemed to
take the notion of making q trip to the
Iowa side, and quietly turned their
heads in that direction and walked across.
An "old SETTLER" who happened to be on

a Chat with Observer lyons About
she Weather.

Observer Lyons nook in the chamber of
commerce building was rather sultry yester-
day afternoon, and when the door swung
open to admit GLOBE reporter, the OBJ
server was found with his coat Off and vest
thrown open, working up an artificial
breeze with morning paper improvised as
a fan.
Down below the city lay bathed in the
scorching sunshine, and along the streets
the horses logged in lazy way, as though
they wanted to lie down in a cooling
shadow, and pedestrians sauntered care
lessly and slowly along, giving one the
impression that they didn't care whether
business kept up or not. The ladies had
much the best of it in their airy costumes
of muslin and lace beneath their friendly
parasols, and while the Steiner sex carried
their coats on their arms and mopped the
perspiration from their uncomfortable
looking faces the ladies smiled and chatted
in a happy way, which indicated that they
could enjoy themselves with the mercury
several degrees higher.
''Whew!" calculated the reporter, throw
ing his hat on the Sergeant'S desk and sink
ing into chair.
swell, l should say So" said the weather
prophet, piling his feet up beside the hat
and stretching back in his easy chair.
SLOWS the thermometer" inquired the
reporter.
isn't sweating drop" replied the SER
geant with facetiOuS air, but seeing that
the reporter wasn't inclined to put himself
to the exertion of smiling he added, s.the
mercury is $50. It's the hottest day we've
had this summer and it's liable to be hotter
before the wave passes over"
NO CYCLONE VISIBLE.
'Are there any cyclones in the fore
ground?''
mot cyclone visible at present. We
thought yesterday that we would get a full
grown tornado, but all signs fail at times, you
know, and yesterday was one of the
times. You can't always tell about
those things. They spring into view
about as suddenly as political candidates,
but they usually do more damage. But if we
do call the turn on one of these things there
is by no means certainty that it will do a ny
damage, as it has about one chance in a
thousand of striking town. You see they
range from $50 to 1000 yards in width and
there is chance to crowd a great many of
them in between the towns in this country
and when they do happen to make connection
it is only by a scratch. This is pretty warm
weather for this time of the year. Four years
ago when first came to this city it was much
cooler. remember that on the 22d of June
we had a snow storm and there was
considerable ice in the streets. People were
wearing heavy coats. and many of them
showed up IN buffalo coats, but since then
the month of June has been milder, but the
mercury never climbed up to SO as early as
this. We are having warmer weather here
than they are East, and if things keep on
Minnesota will soon become winter resort.
You can tell the people that they need not be
in hurry about putting on gauze under
clothes, for we are liable to have some chilly
weather yet before the 4th of July"

cratic English family who mad sense enough
to bring up their children so that they might
be prepared to live and occupy gracefully
any position in life, no matter how humble
or how exalted. Girls, can you do this?
Would you be willing to give up the luxury
| of your fathers mansion, with its unhappi-
ness and loneliness, for quiet domestic
life and pure happiness with the man you
love? If you are give your next
admirer an idea that you are willing
to live less eXtravagantly, and if you are
the right sort of girl to make man
happy, it will not be long before he will ask
| you to share his lot for better or for worse
OF course, if you have fortune and an in
| come OF your own it's so much the better
| for you. Let him know, and don't think
him mercenary if he pops the question the
very next day. There is many man who
can live i'll luxury alone who would be COM
PEELED to practice rigid economy with a
wife to support, and yet with a willing,
cheerful heart to help him he would be glad
to work a little harder and practice this
economy for the sake of her love and com
pany.

by the rapid manner in which he will de-

AS A TOBACCO CEEwER,
he is patriarch, having been at it for nearly
fifty years and expects to continue it until
he is summoned to take the long sleep that
knows no waking. He contracted the habit
when he was d boy and took to tobacco as
as medicine to be relieved of the bad
effects of calomel which caused his teeth
and gums to ache continually. 1t had the
| desired effect and in school and out, for at
Ethe time he began the habit he was school

At the end of the year he assumed the

he gave up the old-time plug and natural

do is to love him and be his intellectual
COMPANION. AS this can't be and he can't
afford luxury he buries his hearts yearn-
ings and leaves you to spend small for
tune, furnished in monthly installments by
an indulgent parent. He takes his weary
path through life alone-without sympathy
or love, and only varies the monotony of
his existence by mingling among the charm
ing roses from which he cannot pluck
on account of poverty. After years of
waiting, perhaps he becomes blase-dis-
gusted with the hollowness and insncerity
of society life, it's expenses, etc. He drops
out and you hear of him no more. Let us
follow him little further. He still dreams
of a home, of woman he can call wife,
He begins to look for quiet domestic girl,
one who can run house and can do it
well without score of servants. At last
he finds her and they commence housekeep-
ing. and this is the way their expenses
