LEADING THE GERMAN.
Qualifications Which n successful
Leader Must Possess.


As soon as the german commences the
fates of all dancing are in the hands of him
who leads for better or for worse. How
important. therefore. is the coveted positiOnl
What an important functiOnary is the leader
of the german and how poorly is that posi-
ton often filed What is necessary 10
make a leader? First and foremost he
must have a perfect control over his temper
and at the same time be firm. He must
not let private friendship interfere with his
public duty. He must have infinite tact
and judgment. He must handle his field
much the same as a cOachman would
handle a pair of spirited carriage
horses. He is in position in which
Ot1ense Is easily given, and he must have a
retentive memory and an eagle eye to bear
down on and condemn 10 temporary Obliv-
ion predatory couples who are trying To
steal an extra turn. But above all. he must
be in that state OF bodily health known as
mt" he must be in training. No man in
his senses would start out to ride steeple-
chaise or run a race without giving himself
some training. When q strain comes on
the system from any prolonged physical ef-
fort and 1t IS not in the proper state TO
meet that strain, the exhaustion of the
physical system tells at once on the mental,
and the subject becomes ratified" at the
moment when he should be perfectly cool.
Now. leading a german is 4 prolonged
physical effort, and one requi ing a certain
bodily strength To meet the strain properly
and perfect training to meet the mental
strain.
Most of the men who essay to lead are
not fit" and before half the evening is
through they are played out and almost use
less. They are exhausted and have lost
their temper i'm consequence and wOefully
offend good many people by either sin of
omission or commission. which would have
been avoided had they been in good train

tremely ludicrouS, a., with the Precipitation
streaming down their cheeks and wild eyes,
they frantically endeavOr to Tectify mud
die that they themselves have caused, and
only succeed in making bad matter worse.
OF all the leaders in New York, and there
are many, Col. De Lancey Kane is perhaps
the best. The secret of his success is that
he is always fit" and, therefore. imper-
tuTbable. Though the heat and pace may
disturb his collar, it never disturbs his tenn
per. and he rules his laughing field with a
light and firm hand and also with a gallant
courtesy 10 men and women alike that some

women's Right. out West.


A smart young man, such as occasionally
stray from home, was ON the train. He
made himself very conspicuous by his fran
tic attempts to turn over one of the seats,
which was locked. As the seat did not
move at his will, he lost his temper, jerked
at it as if he would force it whether or no,
and began swearing like trooper. There
were several ladies in the car. and the lam
guage he used in expressing his opinion Of
the road, the conductor, the seats and all,
was naturally dStasteful TO them. Among
the ladies We're two from this city, one
young lady, the other an elderly, rather
muscular lady, well known in Council
Bluffs. These ladies finally got up from
their seats, went to the young man. the
elderly lady tapping him ON the shoulder,
said: ''Sir. we have heard all the profan-
ity we propose To hear. If you do not sit
down and behave yourself l will pull the
bell rope and stop the train, and we will
put you off ourselves" The young man
took his seat, while some of the male pas
sengers, clapping their hands, shouted:
That's right, auntie; well stand by you -
The sneaky look of that fellow was a pic
ture of meanneSs. There was no more
trouble with him.

STAGE Craze Amoug Women

New York Letter TO Cincinnati Commercial.
1t is singular what a craze is striking
many of the most fashionable women of
this city for the stage. Those who have
money are gratifying their taste BY appear
ing in amateur theatricals, and every few
days we have matinees for charity at the
swell theaters at which these asprants APP
pear. The Madison Square seems to be
their favOrite house, and on afternoons the
SWEETEST kind of audiences are entertained
at that theater by amateurs. SO far the
only person who has attracted any great
attention in these representations is Mrs.
James Browne Potter. one of the tOniest
ladies of New York. She has made quite
hit in playing THE Russian Honey
mOOn," and has so well satisfied herself
and her friends that it is announced that
she will go on the stage professionally next
year. Mrs. Potter is of one OF the old
Creole families of New Orleans, and her
debut will undoubtedly be attended with
great pOmp and show.

LYNCHING AT SUsANVILLE
Holden Dick and Mexican hen
Hanged by "A Mob.

We are in receipt Of a copy Of an ex.
ira issued by the Susanvile ddoOCdfC,
which contains an account OF the lynch
ing of Vincente Olivas, a Spaniard, and
Holden Dick, an Indian, al Susanville,
Honey Lake Valley, last Saturday
night. Dick was convicted OF the
murder of Samuel b. Shaw on Madeline
Plains last March, and Olivas was con-
vcted of the murder Of Griffith Logan
at Piueville last November. The mob
effected an entrance TO the county Jail
by breaking the locks with sledge
hammer. The prisoners were taken
from the cells in which they were con-
fired and hanged in a wood shed ad
joining the jail. A rope had been
tied to Dicks hair and he was probably
strung up in that manner, in hopes OF
making him confess who his accomplices
in the murder were. The weight OF his
body had torn his scalp loose. The APP
pearance Of his hfeless body indicated
that he had made a desperate struggle
for life as his clothing was torn and
smeared with blood. The affair Is
clouded in mystery and there is not
oven a conjecture as to who were the
perpetrators.

Among the announcements of new
publications for the present season is
one embracing the tragedy of Ameri
can history from the foundation of the
Republic to the present day.
American history has in every period
been distinguished by startling phases.
Boldnes of conception, breadth Of plan,
energy OF execution, tenacity and cour.
age characterize her annals: These
traits are illustrative not only Of her
laudable achievements and of those
who advance her civlization-her COM
merce, schools, churches-hcr material,
moral and intellectual prosperity, but
they characterize as well those whose
efforts have been TO pull down and de.
siroy. That the latter constitute ma
terial portion Of that history-one Of
necessary instruction and interest to
every thoughtful reader and student
who would be informed in his countIy'S
annals-is a fact which all will recog.
nize.
