1t has taken the English n long time to
discover this country. and many OF them have
not yet been able to find out anything about it.
The Tribune has had an interview with an old

this Englishman went on to tell what he had

Next he told how an error which he had enter
tanned had been corrected in the course OF his
visit. He had understood before no came here

Strange. truly, 1t Ia that to 30 many English
men the United States is yet an undiscovered
country. Thousands OF Englishmen come
here every year. some as immigrants and
others as tourists. There is a vast commerce

Almost every summer we notice In our
rural contemporaries many an article like TINT
OF the Tunes Gnon OF Albany. from which We
cut n few lines:
liENRr WArrERsoS goes to the city OF New York in
the hot months. and declares that It is tho most
h1httul summer resort. Many other residents Of in.
land places seem to be of tho opinion Ths 10 q
countless series OF recreatious and amusementa Tho
markets and restaurants supply the decacies Oh tho
whole world. Fit is warm during tho day the nights
are generally made cool by the sea breeze and every
thing that the most exacting taste desire 10 within
easy reach"
These words are true and vol put. Very
many OF our country friends are already with us
In the city enjoying themselves. They find that
the attractions Of the city this summer are eyed
greater and moro varied than usual. and they,
know by experience that this is a good time OF
tho year to come here. There is gayety enough
for anybody: there are spcctaclcs beyond num-
Der: thercarc amuscments and sports Of every
kind: there are plenty Of cool spots for tho hot
hours; the broad salt sea is before us: this is
headquarters for fishermen: tho ships are sail
ing in and out all the time: tho markets are
bursting with fruits and other things: the
grass trees, bushes and flowers In the parks
are lovely; the birds sing. Tell us what you
want and hero it is. The rates at the hotels
are reasonable: board can be had at almost any
price. Perhaps some Of our visitors may regret
that good many OF the churches are closed In
summer. and that their favorite preachers are
not at home: but lots of churches are open
every Sunday, and there must be acceptable
preachers around.
We shall he pleased TO SEQ more OF our coun-
try friends hero. including other Kehtuckans
than the Hon. HENRY WATTERsON. who knows
what he is talking about when he proudly de-
carcs that New York is the most delightful
Of summer resorts.

The Passion for Racing.

The enormous growth OF the interest in
horse racing in this country was shown by
the vast attendance at the Suburban Handi-
cap at Sheepshead Bay on Tuesday.
Though 1t was the hottest June day we
have had in many years. the race was
run in the presence OF $4,000 people. men.
women. and children. Trey all forgot the
thermometer in their excitement over the
contest: and in their eager interest they
represented ten times as many people who
remained at home in this town alone.
Thus it is proved that horse racing. which
formerly engaged the attention Of COM
paratively small and special part OF the
people. has now become general and an
absorbing passion in this country. In no
other is it stronger and more pervasive Mt
the present time; and as n practical. de-
sirable. and beneficial consequence OF it tho
improvement in the breed Of horses Is no.
ticeable everywhere. simultaneously and
incidentally all domestic live stock. COWS.
pigs. hers. and sheep. are becoming OF bet
ter quality. and the usual farmyard is
more agreeable sight than it used to be.

IN MEMDRIU VI.

Last Sunday many friends of the family
followed the remains of little baby Leen
to their last resting place. 1t died when
It was yet an infant, but the place 1t filed
is vacant and the mothers and fathers
hearts are sad The death of a baby. and
particularly such bright and winsome
Que as little baby Leen was, IS always a
sad thing which is only appreciated fully
by those who have lost little limo
cents o: their own. To be sure
they are better off and human
Icicies tell Us that the death
OF infants in all their innocence and purity
is only blessing which parents ought to
be thankful for, bat that IS not correct
philosophy. The lore 4 parent bears a
little child Of that age Is the pCrest and
sincerest love that springs from the human
heart and il is uatura! Tor them to be sad
even though they know that tile pure lit
tie soul has gone to 4 happier land. The
loss OF this bright little one was not only
mourned by yhe parents. but By many
friends, as testified TO by the score or more
beautiful bcQuets Of flowers that adorned
the little casket that contained lis re-
mains Among the floral contributions
were some from Postmaster and Mrs.
Jewett and a beautiful cross from the en-
ployes OF the postoffice.

PRAYED FOR THE POLICE,

Deacon Smith, the noted coiored preach
er of the city bastile, returned to his AR
kansaw" home last night, and a more
perfect ministerial dude never entered
that benighted country than he will be
when he reaches there if he does not fall
BY the wayside again He has been living
with the police during the last three
months, and he seemed to be as
much part of the furniture and
fixtures of Headquarters" as the
telephone or the clock. When
he got re-converted at the Salvation Army
meeting. ana expressed a wish 10 return to
Arkansaw to re-engage in the conversion
of souls, the police and other friends put
their heads together and determined to fix
him out with wardrobe that would
astonish his old Pensioners. They bought
bran new suit Of regulation preachers
clothes for him, intending gloves, silk
hat, stand-up white collar. a genuine
paste diamond scarf pin, a brass chain
that weighs twelve ounces, a linen buster,
a gilt-edged hymn book and
Bible. the like of which
has never been seen in his old parish
church. They even went so far as TO fit
ting MN out Win Il new sermon anu
prayer which lie has learned by heart,
into which lie throws all the fervor of his
soul. Thus equipped he went TO the Sal
walton army last night to give them his
parting prayer, but as he could only be
given three minutes in the tent he re-
turned to the police headquarters aud in
sisted on the police, with few reporters,
hearing it Never WAS such
a prayer heard in the city building. and
the probability is that there never
will again. He prayed for the chief, for
the police. for the reporters aud for the
prisoners IN voice that could have been
heard by mortal ear as far distant as
heaven is from earth, and il half his re-
quests will be answered both the police
and reporters will not only be mi!honaires
in this world. but will be dead sure TO
have a boantiful supply OF white wings IN
the next. He even mixed politics with
religion and, with the white of his eyes
turning towards Ruie Cone, he prayed
hard that the Democratic party may lie
successful in this county this fall.

HYPATiA'S CHRYSAN rHEML VI.

The chrysanthemum committee OF by
patia is already actively engaged IN
preparations for their fair which will oc-
cur in November next. Mrs, Charlie
Jackson, who is the efficient chairman of
the committee for the work. is enthusiastic
in her belief in the success of the enter
tainment.
1t is hoped that citizens in general, and
the merchants and business men in par
ticular, will render the ladies every assist
ance in plan which will, if properly
managed, bring visitors from all over the
state. This, of course, is good thing for
all.
The premium list from Hypatia is very
liberal, and while number of merchants
have offered special premiums, much
more may by done to induce competitors
to come from a distance. The show last
year was pleasure and surprise to al
who saw it, and will be collapsed next
autumn by n much finer show. BE rs
liberal with the ladies as with horse fairs
and bicycles and see what they will do. In
other words, give the women chance.

We call the attention Of our readers
to the advertisement Of The Call in
another column. Since its reduction
in price The Call is the cheapest
daily in Nebraska, and its spicy and
independent policy is too well known
to need comment from US. In reduc-
ing the price of The Can so as to put
it within the reach of everybody, the
management have placed themselves a
decided step in advance of all other
publishers in the state. This is an era
of popular prices for the newspaper,
