There was rather interesting discus
sion Of the recent gold discoveries in the
vicinity OF Lincoln in last Sundays
Journal. OF course it was not written
by anybody connected with the Jour
nal. 1t was an expression by "a Color
ado mining man." The article quoted
Solomon as ssying: SILVER u found in
veins and g Id is where you find it ="
The quotation came in sptly enough;
but il was incorrect. Solomon never
said what the Colorado mining man"
said he said. In Job there is something
like it. But it is not by any means GER
tain that Solomon co-laborsted in the
writing of Job. As matter offact Sol
ONION and the writing OF Job we're not
contemporaneous. The q-otation is:
surely there is vein for silver. and
a place for gold where they fine it."
Filming and finding are two different
things.

about the report circulated by the
journal and Bee that he had made

1t is harder to make people believe in

it 90 impossible. absurd. for gold bearing

Because our vacation feet have walked

Paris and a large portion OF France
have been without rain for eight weeks.
There has scarcely been a cloudy day
in that time. Is has been hotter and
drier than il has been for 600 years.
In Paris the leaves on the trees ecorched,
the grass died, and the city became a
smoking furnace. The heat was
greater than it was in North Africa,
along the desert of Sahara. In the
country the rivers are drying up and
water is scarce. Great injury has been
done the vineyards in the provinces.
And yet in it all and through it all I
have not yet noticed concentrations OF
Paris and France by Psrisians and
F,renchmen. There has been no moving
away. The drouth and hot weather
were probably infinitely worse than
anything We have experienced in Ne
trasks. In France the people regret.

they abuse this state and, many Of them,

country persistence aud patience
would be a good thing in Nebraska.
There have been more failures in

Morse and Falconer are gone. the people

come to Lincoln to do their shopping.
This is no jest. The biggest and best
dry goods stores in Nebraska are in
Lincoln and the people OF Omaha will
find here an assortment Of goods that
will dazzle their eyes. l have DO doubt
but that Herpolsheim er & Co., Sharp,
Miller 4 Paine. Nissley & Co., and the
rest will offer inducements to Omaha
purchasers. The latter could save
much more than their railroad fare, have
the advantage Of selecting from stock

In August the dredging machine
which is deepening the channel at
Bulkhead Bar struck the wreck of a
sunken steamer. For q long time no
one could recall the sinking of a steam
er at that place in the Delaware river
but it has been discovered that it is the
hull of the old Government buoy-boat,
General Putnam, which was run down
and sunk by collision with the steamer
Major Reybold during a dense fog, on
November Ii, 1867.
The collision occurred offNew Castle
and the hull of the Putnam foated
with the current, and fnally grounded
off Bulkhead Bar. Here it has formed
a serious obstruction to navigation ever
since, and has caused many vessels to
run aground at a place in the channel
where their navigators had every rea-
son to suppose that they had plenty of
water.
The wreck has been broken by charges
of dynamite, and in a few days every
vestige of it will have been removed.

GLOUCESTER COUNTY COURT.

There were 10 complaints brought
before the Grand Jury last week and
only s bills found. Foreman Liver
more called the Courts attention TO the
large number of trivial complaints
brought them and requested the Jus.
tees Of the Peace to be more careful
and exercise a more discretion. Judge
Clymer hoped the recommendations
would be needed and men elected Jus.
tice of the Peace who had some exper-
fence in court matters.
Licenses were granted Charles Sharp,
Bridgeport; Francis A. Crane, Frank
liuville; Washington Park; Samuel
Reeves, Mantua; II. b. Hendrickson,
wholesale license, Woolwich township.
Licenses were refused Almonesson Park
aud Joel Howarth, Thoroiare.
The Grand Jury told the Court that
several citizens seek. indictments against
various parks having merry'go-rounds,
swings, a chute and other amusements
going on Sunday the same as on week
days and asked whether there was any.
thing illegal about it sufficient to indi
cate Indictment. The Court said it
could only lay down 'the principle in
such a case. A specific act may not be
! indictable in itself but where they are
repeated and became subyersive of pub
lie morals and tend to drag down the
real moral line of the community, if
repeatedly done it may be the subject
of indictment. The Jury could not EN-.
force, the views of any particular peo-
pie but must act for the State and scci.
ETY. and indict, whether we believe in
it or not, anything which we believe to
| corrupt the minds and the conseiences
and the hearts of The people, if it is re-
peated in any place. That makes it
d~isorderly. 1t is for the Jury to decide
whether these acts were corrupt or not.
The Grand Jury Ignored the COM
plant against the parks, in which II
was alleged that the summer resorts in
county we're violating the Sunday laws.
