said: Mr.. Watkins accepted a tenn
porary commission, Nov. 10, 1885, and

one of the most popular postmasters
that ever controlled the Lincoln post
Office, and retires carrying with him
the friendship of the city, republicans
as well as democrats. Mr.. Watkins
chief assistant, 0. C. Baker, has also
proved an intelligent, obliging and
efficient assistant, and withal one of
the most obliging gentlemen in that
difficult position that could have been
chosen" A few days before Mr.. Wat
kins turned the Office over to his
republican successor the employees pre-
sented him with an elegant gold watch
as a token of their esteem.
In new, bold and attractive adver-
which appears in The Demo-
crat this week, Adam Dresen, draper

MODERN PLAQUES.

LESS than year ago a contagious
disease developed in Russia which,
within the space OF 4 few weeks,
swept over the greater portion OF
Europe and the United States, AZ
lacking hundreds Of thousands Of
people. 1t was not a very deadly
malady, as but a small percentage of
those afflicted with it died as il
rect result Of it. But it left other
ailments in its train, and
thousands Of deaths in many diff
ferent countries were more or less
directly attributable to it. 1t was
the now familiar ''grippe,'' but its
rapid and extensive spread over a
great part Of the globe was a notable
occurrence, and suggests the query,
"Why may not a more deadly dis
ease spread as fast and attack as
many people?
The news which comes from Rus
sia to the effect that a plague Of
mice is now overrunniug n large
portion Of that country suggests the
idea thst the Cars dominion Is
likely to be the source and scene Of
modern plaques. The dispatches tell
ofthe devastation Of whole provinces
by field mice, and state that the
little animals have killed and de-
voured dogs by the hundred, that
they swim rivers, and climb noun
tairs, and that there seems no way
Of destroying them, nor OF checking
their progress. There is something
in such news eas this 10 arrest
the attention Of the most skeptical
aud matter-of-fact Of irreligionists.
Whence come 50 quickly these
myriads Of little animals? Is not
their sudden appearance proof of at
least the possibility that what the
Scriptures say took place in Egypt,
actually occurred: All Scripture is
one; and when the truthfulness Of
that portion which was written in
ancient times shall be vindicate,i TO
the present unbeIieving generation,
that portion which has been
brought forth in modern times will
also be proven true.

which started 0dta number Of years
ago. 1t was new and a dandy. But
the captain had the figure Of mule
being pulled by n negro placed on
the jack-staf for an ornament. He
was told'that any such ornament on
a boat would be sure to bring bad
luck, but he laughed at W..
"Well, =" continued the pilot, "he
had his bad luck. Everything i'm
aginable happened 10 that boat. She
ran through herself, broke wheels,
blew out cylinder heads and was n
constant expense TO her owners. Al
last he had to give up the losing
fight and sell TO another man.
"The second owner at once re-
moved the mule and the eolored
man. Since then the boat has been
coming money for its owners. Com

made enough to buy boats, and he
now runs a line, one Of the most i'm
