Liberty loving men everywhere rejoice
over the complete vindication OF the
great Irish patriot, Parnell. Everybody
was satisfied that the letters in cOntro-
versy were forgeries, but it seemed inn
possible to prove this fact to the public.
Nebraska, as usual in cases OF emer-
gency, came to the rescue in the person
OF our Patrick Egan, who got the proof
positive all together and sent it by mes
senger to Parnell, who was much affected
when he came to realize it's value. As
correspondent remarks: Had Egan
not made the discovery the truth OF the
letters could have been only denied, but
their falsehood could not have been
demonstrated. That situation would
have been a Times victory, and victory
Of the Times would be the ruin OF Par
nell and the Home Rule party, and the
indefinite discredit Of the Liberals" Az
it is, however, Gladstone and Parnen are
several points ahead in their fight for
Irish liberty.

Som ono has said that II the lOwly
Nazarene was now to appear on earth at
the churches bearing his name, he would
not be very gladly received by large
proportion OF them. Having some such
thought in mind, doubtless, the editor of
the New York Press 'thas sent q young
lady reporter, very poorly, but decently
clad, to various churches for q few Sun
days past, to see whether poor people
are welcome or not in such places. The
story Of the reporter is printed, and is to
the effect that ont of eleven fashionable
churches visited she was cordially well
coined at four, tolerated, but rather
ooldly treated at two, given good seats
at three, though regarded with apparent
curiosity, and told that there were no
seats at two. She was the only poorly
dressed person visible at any Of the
churches." So reads the telegram. Pos
sibly there are those who attend church,
who give more thought to the outward
than to the inward graces, but people,
in these days, are averse to appearing
very differently from the average good
citizen. Oddly in character, manner
or dress attracts attention, and the ma
jority Of modest people, are 80 opposed
to attracting attention to themselves
that they prefer to be absent (even from
the churches) If they cannot. afford to
keep up with the prevalent fashions.
Apparel need not be very costly, but If
neat and clean, We venture to say that
the well-meaning visitor will be gladly
welcomed in most, if not all, the
churches in the land. In our age "true
religion and unde6led" is better exem-
plifed than ever before. In no age of
the civilized world has 90 much atten-
tion been given, and very generously
given, too, to the weak, the infirm OF
body or mlnd, the worlds unfortunate
people. Tho spirit Of intelligent help
fulness IL in the times in which We live,
and moro and more manifest, even
through the hard crust Of human greed
and sel6shness. The world owes much
moro than is sometimes credited to in
dividual men and women who have de-
voted much or all Of their time, talents
and energies to serving the age in which
they live by obeying the finer impulses
Of their natures and subiecting them
selves to the living spirit Of truth and
good viii which governs all good people.

The bill introduced in the Legislature
by Representative Cady providing for
the payment OF bounty Of two cents
per pound to the manufacturers of beet
sugar in this state is one that should be
passed Experiments recently made ut
Grand Island demonstrated the fact that
beets raised in this state yield greater
Per cent OF sugar than those raised in
Germany, where the beet sugar industry
thrives to . greater extent than any
country in the world This practical
demonstration OF the feasibility Of the
manufacture Of beet sugar in Nebraska
is one inducement, but not q sufficient
one, to invite capital to be invested in
its production. The additional induce
ment Of state bounty OF two cents per
pound, would, however, give sufficient
warrant Of profitable returns on capital
invested in its production, and manu.
factories would be established for its
manufacture. With two or three best
sugar works established in the state, q
new field Of profit would be opened up
to our farmers, and their condition
would be greatly bettered by it. The
farmer members OF the legislature
should give this bill their united SUP.

The subject of the constitution or

Professor Remsden, at present receives
more attention from working chemists
than any other, and this has been the
case ever since chemistry came TO be a
science. Hopeful attempts are being
made TO 60 so deeply into the structure
OF matter as to determine the shape Of
its minutest particles, and to solve the
problem of the arrangement and con.
nection Of the atoms in the molecule.
The chemical act itself is being studied
in investigations into such matters as
the speed Of chemical action, the infiu-
ence Of mass upon chemical reactions,
and the relations between the phenom.

A Coca Browning story.

The following story is told regarding
the ready comprehension which some
people profess for everything that
Browning has written. One lady was
talking about the matter with another,
a profound Browningite. 81 am snre.
said the latter, :'that understood with
out difficulty verything that Browning
wrote" "And upon the first reading?"
asked the other. Certainly" The
first lady took down her Browning"
turned grayely TO one OF the most mys-
tical Of the poems and began to read. it
wrong end first-that is to say, she read
the last line first, and then the next TO
the last line, and kept on till she had
read the whole, finishing in an animated
delivery with the first line OF the poem.
She lent to the rhyme, more or less du-
bious, OF the poet. the beauty, quite I'M
deniable, of her voice; and tho new dis
ciple OF Browning drank il all in with
eager ears. '"fherel the reader said,
when she had finished, "do you mean
70 say that you understood that?" 'Per.
fectly," said the other; nothing could
be more luminous than those grand
lines, which march from their introduc.
tory statement to their irresistible con.
clnsion like the cleaning advance of O

United States courts by Judge Brown.
They are twin brothers, and the first
named is deaf and mute. In spite of the
absence Of these two important senses,
MFR. Parkinson is a successful lawyer
paving particular attention to patent
cases. His strong point is the preparing
of briefs, which he makes remarkably
clear and comprehensive, although he at
times carries on cross-examinasions with
the aid of pen and paper. He was at one
time chief examiner of patents ut Wash
ington, resigning in 1879 to practice law.
The Parkinson brothers have spent the
past week in this city. appearing in a
patent case argued before Judge Brown.
