An Incident on . Texas Train.
Rill Nva

The country is yet quite unsettled along
this line of railroad, and the primeval for
est may be seen on either hand extending
for miles and miles, Yesterday a slight,
giriish figure might have been seen trip
ping gaily toward the depot as the train
approached. She was all dressed up and
had little portmanteau. Her figure was
graceful and petite. She dressed neatly, and
her clothes fitted her like the bright and
angry surface of boil. She seated herself
with great dignity, and everybody's eye was
upon her. A fine looking travelling man
removed the curl papers from his mustache,
and there was general sensation through
the car. I was anxious to hear her voice,
for am crank on that subject. No mat
ter how beautiful a woman may be. with
harsh voice she is q disappointment /,
with the rest of the passengers. remained
almost breathless waiting for her to speak
As the train slowly moved out of the depot
she opened the window, looked out hur-
riedly, and with little winning yet impa-
tient toss of the head exclaimed: "Oh,
hi! they have left them there trunks
Of mine" (This is an actual fact.)
Then it was so still there that all you
could hear was the quick, half-drawn pants
of . colored man from Nagadochez.

LINCOLN. Neb., May 1.-The Nebraska
supreme court today rendered decision
IN the Boyd-Thaycr quo warranto case,
ousting Boyd. Democrat, who ct
present holds the Office, and declar-
ing Thayer. his ::Repblican predecessor.
tho legal governor Of Nebraska The
opinion recites the fact that Boyd
was legally elected governor of Nebraska
but is disqualified on the ground Of nom
citizenship. After quoting the constitu-
tional provision relative to aliens, the opin-
ion proceeds to the question of successor
ship. and disposes of the claims Of Lieu
tenant-Governor Majors in the following
words:
Under section Of the constitution the person
elected to the Office OF governor Is entitled 70 dis
charge the duties and receive the emoluments Of
ONCE for . term Of two years. from the first
Thursday after the first Tuesday IN January fol-
lowing his election. and until such successor
il duly elected and qualified When
the person receiving the highest number OF
votes for the ONCE Of governor is ineligible
under the constitution to be elected, the gov
ernor holds over. The duties OF the chief execu-
tive office Of the state devolve upon the leu
tenant governor on certain conditions, among
which are failure OF the governor-elect to
qualify, and disability OF the governor. 1t can
where no peraon has been constitutionally
elected to Office
A writ of custer was served on Governor
Boyd, and his attorney, John D. Howe, Of
Omaha, went to the supreme court to file
. motion Of stay, but Judgment had
already been entered and the writ served.
It was too late.
Boyd accordingly turned over the ONCE
to Governor Thayer, who had in the mean
time taken the oath Of Office and fled his
bond. The opinion was signed by Chief
Justice Coombs and Justice Norval, JUS
tice Maxwell dissenting.
1t is stated that Boyd viii carry the case
to the United States supreme court. The
decision was considerable of . surprise, il
being thought here that in the event of
Boyd's being ousted Lieutenant-G Governor
Majors would be named as successor.
Boyd's inehgibility consists Of the fact
that his father. who was native of Ire
land, failed to perfect his citizenship in
this country, and thus Boyd is not an
American citizen.

Tho Bin Creating the once Not Prop
~ erly Enrolled.
OLYMPIA. May 5.-There will be no state
agent for Washington until after the eth
day of June next. 1t was discovered to-
day that the bill which passed both houses
creating the state agent, with the emer-
gency clause attached, was not properly
enrolled by the enrolling clerks of the
House. When it reached the acting gov
ernor the emergency clause was omitted,
and thus the act will not become operative
until the It'll day of June next. The APP
pointment of Thomas II. Cavanaugh,
therefore, as state agent is void. and with
Governor Ferry will rest the power of ap-
pointment when the bill becomes opera
tive. Isis held, however, by State Auditor
Reed that the officer should be confirmed
by the Senate. This question as to whether
the original creation of an office made q
vacancy to be filled during the adjourn
ment of the Senate or not is held under
advisement by Governor Ferry.

What IL Meant.

new fofk Recorder.
The other day as a joke-loving young
woman was being escorted through the
barge Office by Colonel Weber she insisted
on conversing with everyone of the immi-
grants. of whatever nationality. This was
somewhat of tax on the gallant colonel's
linguistic powers. At last they came to a
great, hulking girl, to whom the lady
wished TO talk.
''But this is a Russian girl" said Colonel
Weber. II can't talk TO her."
''oh, know one Russian word" said
the young woman. Just say 'Dushenka'
to her.
So the obliging colonel leaned over and
said, "Dushenkap'
The girl flushed scarlet, put one finger
in her mouth, and laughed-a foolish,
sheepish laugh.
What does that word mean?" asked
the colonel, suspiciously.
1T means darling cody replied his
companion.
