a Observation-Disclosures,

1t is pleasant thing to be remembered
Christmas. Some argue that it is more
blessed to give than to receive. but if the
prOprietOrS of the California Wine house
feel better tonight than their employees they
are surely very happy. Every man work
ing for this popular business house was the
recipient of valuable presents at the hands
of the men they were working for. Charles
Rowland received 500; Charles Feise got
500; Mr. Brokoff. S125 in cash and several
other nice presents. Mr.. Fiersten, their
travelling man, was presented with fine
gold watch and chain and all the other EN-
plOyes received from $50 to $50 each i'm cash.
To say that they are all thankful to the Cali
fornia goes without saying. and their en-
deayors in the future will be redoubled to
further spread the popularity of this FIRMS

much gushing and extravagant praise of her
beauty and one thing and another, that

that by the photographs, with the
fine eyes that oyershadow the defects of
the mouth and chin, and the high
coil of hair, with the prominent curled
bang-a style of hair dressing. by the
way, now faithfully copied by every shop
girl in town. For so young woman, her
tact and easein conversing with the variety
of people and strangers that come to her is
remarkable; the more SO that when she
visited the White house less than two years
ago she had none of this self-possession,
or apparently this great talent for society.
The plump, bread-andbuttery. rosy
checked school girl of the Inauguration

presides over the White house now. Here

Eyes.
A travelling commercial agent whose
home is in Plattsmouth and whose verac-
, ity cannot be easily doubted, related to a
Plattsmouth (Neb.) Journal reporter the
details of story which exemplifies in a
most startling manner the accuracy of the
| old saying that truth is stranger than fic-
ton. The story is briefly as follows:
Some time ago, along about February, a
commercial man named Swartz. travelling
for Chicago hat, cap and clothing house.
was taken sick at the Commercial house
in Lincoln, and died after short illness.
His remains were duly prepared for inter-
ment, were placed in coffin, and the latter
was nailed up in box and shipped to his
home in Chicago for burial, riding through
the city Oh the front platform of a baggage
car Arriving at Chicago. preparations
were made for the funeral. the minister Sc
cured, the funeral notice published, the
grave prepared and the usual sad prepara-
tions enacted.
At this juncture German physician. the
old family doctor. came in to take last
look at the corpse. and Mortified the family
by protesting that the man was not dead.
Two dimly crimsoned spots, one upon each
side of the mans face, told him that life
was not extinct, and he protested against
the burial. Under his care. in two days
the dead man opened his eyes, and in two
weeks he was sitting up in his room.
Shortly afterwards he went TO Europe, and
although he weighed but nnety-six pounds
when he left the coffin, he came back from
Europe some. months later sound and
hearty. and is now selling hats, caps and
clothing, is as healthy a looking man as
one would wish to see, and weighs 1855
pounds.
The man who told the story says he
stopped at the same hotel with Swartz
few evenings since in Nebraska town,
and when the landlord recalled having
heard OF Swartz's death the latter feelingly
related his experience, exhibiting during
his recital the deepest emotion. He says
that he was conscious during the entire
journey and realized with horror the inn
port of each proceeding. As he lay in the
coffin at home he could feel the warm tears
of his mother and father as they fell upon
his face.
The cause of the trance. or whatever else
it may be called, is said to have arisen from
diabetes. with which Swartz was afflicted,
and it is said that he had been totally blind
for two weeks and as miraculously recov-
cred his sight.

through the pipes to and from the boiler,
causing a rapid generation OF steam. A
pump is also combined with the boiler, ar
ranged to take water from the lower part
of the water space and elevate it to the top
of the boiler. so that cold water in the boiler
at the time of starting the fires may be arti-
ficially circulated by opening the pump.
The boiler above its tubes is provided with
pipe terminating within the water space
and connected with the feed water supply
pipe, so that feed water will be heated be-
fore entering the water space of the boiler.
The practical results of the use of the
patent will be to rapidly generate steam
and utilize fuel to the best advantage.
LAYING THE CORNER BLOCK.
The Date for the Laying of the
Corner BLOCK OF the Zee Palace
Postponed Till After New Years.
Owing to the closing up of the years
business in the wholesale houses, and. the
clearing up of the rush occasioned by the
holiday trade, it is thought that it will be
simply impossible for the members of many
of the clubs to turn out in any parade
Thursday. Accordingly the laying of the
corner stone of the ice palace is postponed
until Monday. Jan. 3. Sometime during
the week the carnival managers will meet
and arrange the programme. The cere-
monies will be generally similar to those OF
last year, with several incidental improve
mentS.

Clothes Pins.

I must tell a story Of a Dubuque man
never told before. Passing through the
back yard of his fine Locust street resi-
dence, he observed servant girl hang
ing out articles Of small clothes and
fastening them with the familiar
.clothes-pin. After watching the oper-
alton short time. he went up to the
girl and enquired if she couldn't make
them split sticks stay on the line with
putting clothes under them. He took
some Of the pins from the girl, and
holding the line steady with his left
hand, he soon sat a dozen pins astride
of it in good shape, and then stepped
back to let the girl see for herself how
little she knew, when 10 and behold, his
split sticks were all hanging fast to the
line, but with the heads downward.
"Oh, yes, I see," said ne, you put the
rags OH the line to keep the sticks from
keeling oyer,'' and he walked away,
talking to himself about the extraya-
gance of buying kindling wood with a
handle turned on every stick, and then
having to be hung up Oh a sting to dry
before being used.

And its waves are slowly surging iii a mono

And ita tide flows ever outw ard, and no white
sails e'er return,
But drift slow or swiftly downward where the
e,inset's glories burn, y
Smooth and peaceful, meath the sunshine,
flows che river fair and wide,
Clear and shallow where its sailors launch UNI
conscious on its tide, ISL
Where the ripples sparkle brightly and the
winds are light and free,
And the yoyagers are happy, drifting slowly to-
ward the sea.
Soon the river growath broader, deeper is it's

Still the waves are blue and sparkling as they
ripple to and fro,
And the sailors glad and hopeful, laugh and
sing the hours sway,
All, if youth would only lipgeri ah, if only time
would stay!
wider grows the wondrous river, fathomless
its waters now;
More III anger than in froiic curl the waves
around the PROV.
Anxious eyes are peering seaward, where the
Iuists and shadows lie,
AS adown resistless rapids the frail shallops
swiftly fly.
And the sailors ask each other of the unknown
sea or shore,
But not one of them can answer-none have
been this way before.
And they, each and all, are thinking Of the time
when, satisfied,
They first lrifted DER the shadows OF the riy-

And a yearning. strong and eager, stirs the
heartwilh nameless pain,
TIL each sailor back would hasten, and go
drifting once again
In the sunny springtime weather, on the cur

Where the 1ippes sing in rhythm, and the
water lilies blow.
But, alas there's no returning Never yet has

In the noon, or dusk, or dawning, or with any

Turned its Prov toward the eastward; and the
river, weird and wide,
Bears it's sailors swiftly seward on its swiftly
lowing tide.
