august, 1885.

Notwithstanding the fact that the Gus
tom is so general in the best society as to
have become recognized statute in the
code of fashionable etiquette, some per-
sons prefer to make the nuptial occasion
complete surprise to their friends, and
give society nine days wonder. Some
discreet ones, too, have deeply rooted
regard for the old saying that There S
many a slip 'twiXt cup and lip" and be-
lieve that in matters of matrimonial
uncertainty it is better to be slow
and sure than afford their dear
friends chance to offer polite
impertinences instead of good wishes and
lurking sneers for respectful congratula-
tions. Society Is never so discreet rs
when it is dislrustful.
People are inquiring what has become
of the Sans Ceremonie club. 1t is time
that organization decided the question by
giving Il hop.
The charity ball is another conundrum.
Judging from the examples constantly
brought to light there must be enough
poor in Omaha to warrant such pro
iect being put on foot, and Thanksgiving
night is n better date to set than the
Fourth Of July. 1t was pretty near that
last year.
1t is rumored that some private dane.
ing parties are on the tapis.

A Big Railroad Scheme.
lAmerican Manufacturer.

In our last issue we noticed the incorpora
ton at Birmingham. Ala, of the Baltimore
Birmingham and Gulf Railroad. Our Birming-
ham correspondent, in his letter published to-
day gives some additional facts regarding this
enterprise which show that 1t is one of the
most Important railroad schemes that has been
organized in the South for long time. 1t in
vOlves,. according to our correspondent the
extension of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
from Lexington, Va, to Dalton, Ga, where it
Willbe met by this new road, which will con-
meet Dalton and Birmingham and thence reach
to Mobile or Pensacola. The Birmingham in
corporators of this road embrace the leading
iron manufacturers of Alabama, who are men
pfgrsat wealth and boundless energy. The
meney needed for the building of the road has,
1T is stated, been raised in Europe, and active
work looking to its early construction is prom
fsed: That the Baltimore &c Ohio Railroad has
determined to push it's road into Southern ter
ritory' is assured by the statement of Vice.
President Spencer, who wrote to railroad
committee at Roanoke few months ago that
Hsxt year this company would extend It's
br&nch line that now stops at Lexington. VA,
farther South. The entrance into the Southern
RAILROAD field of this powerful corporation
ments yet made for the Development Of the
South. It would not OILY be the good to be
derived from the construction and operation
there of great railroad system, but 1t would
mean the attraction TO the South of an Inn
mense amount of capital from the rich friends of
this company both In America and Europe.

Swimming the Niagara Rapids.

William j. Kendall, of Boston. Saturday
swan successfully, in q cork vest, the Whirlpool
Rapids of the Niagara river. The trial was to
settle wager of &c. 900 made by Boston parties,
he to receive 81 900 Of the stakes. There were
few spectators of the affair, it having been
kept quiet. Kendall relates the following ex-
periences when he reached the spot where
Captain Webb Is supposed to have lost his life.
The water seemed to go from under him, and a
huge wave struck him on the head and Shout
ders knocking him unconscious for few mo-
ments. He found his swimming abilities of no
alive. When entering the whirlpool he was so
benumbed and partly unconscious, that he
could could not use limb and did not know
what he was doing. The current took him right
into the main eddy and sucked him down like
a flash. keeping him under fully fifteen sec
onds, Upon reaching the under current he
was shot out OF the pool fully fifty feet from the
centre. When he reached the surface OF the
water he had partly regained consciousness
and knowing there was no time to spare before
SWAN to the shore. While landing he was so
overcome that he again became unconscious,
and his assistants were fully half an hour occu-
pied In reviving him with the aid of Stimulants
and by rubbing. When asked if he would ever
make another trip he said most emphatically,
mo- there's not enough money in the world to
induce me to repeat the performance A
through the rapids and come out all right, as an
expert swimmer" 1t took him three min utes
to go from the railroad bridge to the whirlpool.
Kendall is twenty-four years OF age, six feet
and two inches in height, weighs 1876 pounds
and is well proportioned. He was born in New
York but has spent most of his life in Boston.
The cork vest consisted of five pieces of cork
sixteen inches long, four inches Wide and two
inches thick which were sewn in white CAN
vas similar to a life preserver.

Prince Alexander Deposed.

xA0V Ax0A0A0O4 D0RSCONs
A dispatch from Sofia, Bulgaria, dated
Saturday. says .The populace and the
troops quartered in the capital surrounded
the palace early this morning. Prince Al
exander abdicated and was escorted over
the frontier. There was no disorder. The
populace then assembled and adopted a
resolution praying the Gar to re-extend
his sympathy to the Bulgarian people,
The assemblage then proceeded to the pal
ace of che Russian agent and submitted to
him the resolution, all kneeling. The
agent assured them Of the Cars friend
ship. A government has been formed.
The London Standard says it believes
that ''Prince Bismarck and Count Kalno-
ky were forewarned of the Bulgarian rev
olution. which is full Of tokens of larger
mischief and widening disturbances, but
they were needless. England must inter-
vene to save Austria from the conse-
quences of her plumbers or bad faith.
It is stated that the Prince was deposed
and made prisoner during an inspection
of troops at Widdin.
The Cologne Gasette and the Berlin Post
express the belief that the event will tend
to preserve peace. Premier Clement has
issued proclamation announcing the
formal abdicati0n OF Prince Alexander,
who renounces the throne forever, being
convinced that his reign would be fatal to
Bulgaria. The Premier states that the
new cabinet will serve until the meeting
of the National Assembly, expresses the
hope that all parties will cooperate to
maintain the law. and assures the people
that the Czar will not leaye the country
without his powerful protection.

The Cutting Case.

Rarely has there been such tempest in
ateapot as the discussion that has filled
the newspapers for the past month in re.
gard to the Cutting case. Column after
column has been written in presenting the
various phases of the situation. the State
Department has succeeded in making
itself ridiculous, and various would-be
behgerents have made the welkin resound
with their shouts of sswar upon the
GreaserS.'
Cutting is an editor of not very savory
reputation. He formerly conducted a
newspaper in Mexico, where the law
against libel is very stringent, In an arti-
Gle in his paper he severely criticised a
fellow editor. The assailed at once insti-
tuted legal proceedings, which, however,
were abandoned upon Cuttings withdraw
ing the offensive language and making a
suitable apology. Immediately after this,
Cutting crossed the border into Texas and
at once reproduced in substance the
alleged libel. The paper was circulated in
Mexico. to which country Cutting re-
turned. and where he, for repetition Of
the former offense, was re-arrested. He
demanded his release on the ground that
he was an American citizen. The demand
was refused and Cutting communicated
with the State Department. Without a
proper investigation of the circumstances
attending the case, Secretary Bayard de-
mapded on behalf of the United States an
unconditional surrender of the prisoner.
The Mexican Government refused to
recognize the demand, but on the contrary
continued the proceedings against Cutting,
the case ending in the courts with YER
dict of guilty and sentence of two years at
hard labor and fine of $500.
After the Mexican Government had de-
elined to pay any attention to the demand
of the United States after it had pros
ecutea the case to conclusion. then Mr..
Bayard sends representative of this Gov
eminent to Mexico to gather all the testi-
neny and present the facts for the further |
of the State Department.
This is what should have been done at |
drst. The demand by this government |
should not have been made until the right !
TO make it was clearly established. After
Is was made it should have been enforced.
As it is, this country is placed in the
ridiculous position of making demand
upon Q weaker and inferior government,
which it either has not the right OF the
nerve to enforce.
The Cutting case affords another illus
ration of the brilliancy of areform admin
stration. 1,

How the two wings DON'T Flop

Mr.. Randall can hardly be regarded as a
political prophet, at least SO far as the
future of the Democratic party is involved.
He prophesied that the two wings would
flop together, but not throughout the long
session was there any evidence of harmo-
NOUS harmony. When one wing com.
menced to flop in unison with the other
wing they carried the party away from the
| Presidential moorings. When congress
men agreed with each other they disagreed
with the executive. In the outgivings for
| the approaching campaign there is every
evidence of wide split in the party upon
the paramount issues before the country.
There is nothing like unity of sentiment
| upon the tariff question. The Pennsyl-
vania Democrats plant themselves upon a
protective platform, and in the adjoining
State of Ohio they howl for free trade of
the most advance Morrisonian variety. In
Virginia they split the difference. The
convention for the 1st District applauds
Its representative in the last Congress for
his support of the Morrison bill and re-
dominates him by reclamation. In the
9th District, Trigg is slaughtered because
he voted for the same measure, and high
protectionist is nominated upon a Repub-
iiean platform. In the 10th District
platform of qualification is adopted and
gentleman without congressional record
is placed in the lead.
In nothing does there seem to be one
ness of sentiment except in the desire for
Office. There aaa there only the party is
in thorough aocord-that is the members
thereof who occupy the fat places. 1t is
all things to all men. Representing moth.
ing distinctive in governmental policy,
wanting in principle incapable of man.
aging the affairs of great government,
or understanding the needs of the people,
the Democratic party as constituted to-
day is but stun bling block in the way of
the nations progress and prosperity.-a
alike to the interests Of the rich |
and the poor the employer and the en-
ployee the capitalist and the laboEer.

That woman is a stministering angel
when she wants to be, is verified every
day. Her tender sympathies can easily
be touched and where affection asserts su-
premacy, there is scarcely any sacrifice she
will not endure. A touching illustration
of this is present at the Springs. Mr..
Leach, of Vaudeville. n. c., is here, pros
trated by that insidious, flattering, yet
none the less fatal disease, consumption.
His lovely wife, with devotion that only
woman can manifest, and courage that
only christian resignation can inspire, is
by his side every hour, cheering by her
smiles. and solacing and soothing by her
anticipation of every want. Her face is
study-the blending of fear and trust
of pain and joy-the expression of beau.
tiful faith. that all is for the best, while
the suppressed emotions Of the heart are
struggling for relief through tears. There
is tender, subdued pathos In her sweet
voice as it is raised in sacred song, and a
sublime trust expressed in her beaming
face as the sentiment Of the song is ap.
propriated. She. with her accomplished
sister, Miss Smeads, and her invalid hus.
band leave today for her home In the Old
North State, where, in all probability, ere
the sere and yellow leaf comes. he will be
laid to rest under the clods OF the val
ley' in the meridian Of his manhood. 1t
must be solace to her in her trials to know
how warm and earnest has been the SYM
pathy shown by all the visitors here and
the unaffected interest they have mani
tested in their behalf. Affection reveals
the better side of humanity and proves that
the world is not near 80 dark as it is
sometimes painted.
