1T is lamentable hat the noble Amer
lean buffalo is destined o o to be
classed among tho extinct species. A
late as sure and irresistible as that
which overlook the Aztec is driving
&e monarch of the plains from off the
mce of the earth. With a view of pre-
serving the remnants of the once
mighty herds, the editor Of the Chicago
Times has sent an expedition into the
remote regions of Texas to capture as
many of the bison family as possible for
the purpose of perpotuating the specie
from extinction. The expedition has
had great difficulty in locating what is
left of the herds, and found the butfalos
In small groups Of but two OF three. 1t
Is thereby made evident that the specie
has dwindled to less than a hundred,
and that the expedition was sent out
not a day too Don to preserve the last

Mechanical Schools.

The old system of apprenticeship,
under which the boy who wished to
learn a trade was ''indentured" or
"bound out' to an employer for a term
of years, has been gradually falling into
disuse from natural causes, until
scarcely n vestige of it remains. 1t will
probably never be restored. Fifty, and
perhaps even twenty-five years ago, the
employers in most trades worked with
their hands, and being constantly pres
emit could give proper instruction to the
apprentice. He took the boy to board
in his own house, and to a certain eX-
tent had an oversight of his habits and
could control his general conduct to the
end that IL good mechanic should be the
result.
The situation to-day is widely differ
ent. Employers seldom work at the
trade, for the reason hat there is a
great increase in the volume of bust
ness, and because new and quicker
methods of work have become so neces-
sary that the time Of the employer is
fully occupied in attending TO business
details and in general direction. He
seldom or never takes tools into his own
hands or remains long enough upon
actual work to instruct in that practical
way which was possible formerly. The
a%pprentice'is left, therefore, largely to
the charge Of the workmen. The fore
man or other employees give such gen
eral instruction al may result from
their good nature'or sense OF duty to the
boy or the employer. 1t is a fact that
there is at present no such thing as
regular or systematic teach
ing, 'the apprentice in most in

An Omaha Opera.

We take peculiar pleasure in an
noucing the completion of an opera
which is wholly the work of Omaha
talent, the public production of which
at an early date promises a rare intel
lectual and musical treat to our citizens,
and q fame for the author and composer
that will not be confined to local bound
aries. The new opera, Mr.. Sampson
OF OMAHA is from the pen of the we'll
known journalist, Mr.. Fred Nye, and in
plot. dramatic construction and literary
merit shows that MI. Nye possesses q
high order of ability outside the beaten
paths OF journalism. The music is by
Mrs. B. B. Young. whose superior ac-
complishments are familiar to many
Of our citizens, and who in this
instance has shown that she
has remarkable talent as a composer.
Comedy is the prevailing vein Of the
opera, with q deft admiXture of satire
and q few touches of the serious which
serve to give color and variety of tone.
To those who know the author it need
not be said hat the quality of the
humor is high and the character of the
satire keen and telling. The expert
ences and adventures of Mr.. Sampson,
an Omaha merchant of strong specula-
tive tendencies, supply the plot, about
which are clustered numerous incidents
most happily conceived and admirably
developed. The situations are both
original and strong, and the climaxes
are worked out with great skill. The
characters are we'll drawn, and
the action of the opera, which is
in Bulgaria and Omaha, is smooth,
| rapid and of continuous interest. The
most capable judges have commended
the music in the warmest terms, and
very much of it is certainly of rare
| beauty and excellence.
"Mr. Sampson of Omaha" will be pro-
| duced at Boyd's opera house neXtThurs-
day evening, and will be given four per-
| formauces. The best local musical tai
| ent will participate in its production,
and there can be no doubt OF its proving
a notable popular success. We very
cordially bespeak for this work OF
Omaha talent the interest and generous
favor of our citizens.

The Nebraska Chautnuaua.

Those who in summer days would HE
themselves to sylvan shades where SER
mons car be found in stones and books
in the running brooks, will betake
themselves to the Chautauqua assembly
at Crete. 1t is a matter of congratula-
ton to the people of Nebraska that the
noble men and women Of this state have
for the past eight years conducted this
summer school where recreation and
study are so admirably blended.
1t is a most gratifying test of the
popularity and of the sterling merit of
these annual summer gatherings, that
the attendance increases from year to
year and embraces the best people of
the state. For the season of 1888, which
includes the ten days between June
2S and July 10. The association has
been spurred on to excel all previous
efforts in the attractions and comforts
for all its visitors.
a Chautauqua assembly is the embod-
iment of u high ideal. 1t e%ndoavors to
bring about a popular gathering where
people shall be drawn together to enjoy
the bounty of nature and to find relaXa-
tion from business cares in physical and
mental culture. Its aim is to Undue
everyone with lofty ideals, to instill
morality, education and thought in the
mind, and to make life a more harmoni-
Gus entity. In these endeavors the
Chautauqua society of Nebraska
has succeeded. 1t has selected for
its place OF meeting an attractive
summer resort surrounded by beautiful
woods and streams, where those seeking
rest and change can find relief. 1t has
engaged a corps of prominent instructors
ana lecturers in the departments of the
arts and sciences. 1t has surrounded
itself with that religious atmosphere
which breathes tho spirit of peace and
good will to all men. 1t remains, there
fore, for the people Of Nebraska to ac-
cept the invitation which the assembly
so cordially proffers.

AN event of national Importance to
religious and educational circles took
place last week in Washington. 1t was
the occasion of the ceremony of laying
the corner stone of what is designed to
be the great Catholic university of
America. For many years the Catho-
lie clergy have urged on the lavmen
the necessity of founding n college in
America which shall stand on an equal
footing with the great Catholic univer-
sites of Europe. But it was not until
quite recently that the project assumed
tangible shape. BY the gift of Miss
Caldwell, an American heiress. of $780,
600 to the proposed college, Cardinal
Gibbon was encouraged to raise a very
large sum for the Immediate construc-
ton of the university. An interesting
episode Of the occasion in laying the
corner stone was the presentation of
the popc's gifts to Miss Caldwell, who
received n gold medal and was honored
with the golden rose. The Catholics of
America are to be congratulated in es-
tablishing IL college OF such a high
order as the proposed university will
ho
