Lincoln Day Exercises.

Rev Alexander r. Bowscr, pastor of
the First Unitarian Church, delivered an
address at the Friends School. Fourth
aud West streets, yesterday morning in
which he pointed ont the necessity Of the
children being good for some thing.
He spoke of the resolution made by
Queen Victoria when quite child.
After she had been informed that she
would probably succeed to the throne
she made statement that she would
do the best she could to be of some use
in the world. Her life and the tribute
paid to her by all Lations show how well
she succeeded.
Henry NJ. Stanley, he said, was born
Of obscure parents and did not really
know what his family name was. When
. very young lie was placed in an aims
house in England and afterwald was
bound out and remained at that service
until q years of age when he decided
to come to America. lie worked his
passage on Il sailing vessel, to New Or
leans, and there secured employment by
mar named Stanley, and he adopted
that name.
AftcrMard he enlisted in the Confeder-
ate army and later was IN the United
States Navy. Subsequently he became n
reporter for the New York Herald, and
while in Spain for that paper received
a telegram of two words from the pro-
prietor, James Gordon Bennett. The
telegram read. "Find Livingstone" The
great explorer had been lost in the Willis
of Africa and the young man accepted
the commission to look for him, and his
efforts were crowned with success.
Booker II. Washington, the great col
ored man of the South, was also cited as
an illustration. He was born and reared
slave, but taught himself to read and
write, although confronted by many OBJ
stacles.
The speaker closed his remarks by re-
the author of the Battle Hymn Of the
Republic"
A moral lesson was drawn from each
and Mr.. Rowser said every boy and girl
has an innate power for good, il they
have only the determination and will
power to develop it,and he urged each
to use their utmost efforts to be good for
something.
1t was the first of series Of lectures
to be delivered at the school about every
two weeks, Principal II. A. Norris hav-
ing arranged for addresses by local
clcrgymcn.
The next Monday morning lecture will
take place two weeks hence, and the

Church, will be the lecture" The .xer-
ciscs will begin at $50 o'clock.

Day exercises will be held. The life Of
Lincoln will be read, as will also a
portion of his Gettysburg address. There
will also be rotations.

o'clock DR.. George NJ. Phillips, principal

Then, after long waiting, another
scene WAS enacted in the drama.
One day, long, long after the punish

Jim was presently led in. lie was still
upright and carried his head as a man
who is ready to face any fate, but he
was very thin and haggard, and in
spite Of his bearing there was the
WEAKNESS of death in his face.
He stood stock still as he saw me
and then took ! step forward, peering
closely.
Its Davie" he gasped.
"Yes."
"Thank God!'
He said no more, and really there
was nothing more to he said. Know
Ing him as | did and the occasional
cynic frame of his mind, I was sure
the thought would obtrude itself, Was
there so much to thank God for! The
condemned criminal, as he stands upon
the fatal trapdoor, as he feels the moose
nesting round his throat, might have
as much cause to thank God that lie Is
not already dead. There is not always
hope while there is life.

with reference to the new gold fields in
the vicinity Of Pixies Peak will be, we
predict, extensively felt and widely wit
messed throughout the States. There
will be such rush for the Western Gold
fields as was only witnessed in the grand
rush for the rich placers of California.
What destinies it will carve out for the
Great West beyond the valleys of the
Mississippi and Missouri, time alone can
determine"
The first actual gold to reach Ne
braska City was brought by P. r.
Crosswait, formerly of Mills County,
Iowa." who on December 29th showed
the editor "some fine specimens of gold,
carefully preserved in quill, also
specimens of crystallized quartz contain

onds by the gentleman who discovered
them" A. r. RICHARDSON.

A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING.

August 30th, the Nebraska Park and
Forest Association holds a meeting at
Lincoln, afternoon and evening, in the
botanical room Of the university. Af-
ternoon session commences at 2 o'clock,
and the evening session at O'Clock.
This meeting is called Immediately af.
ter the meeting of the National For
estry Association at Denver, and we
have secured speakers of national re-
pute.
The address of welcome is to be given
by Governor Savage, and the response
by Chief of Forestry, G.. Pinchot. New
man, Hall, Clothier, and many others
will address us.
In the evening we will probably have
some stereopticon lectures bearing on
forestry
There has been force of government
experts at work all summer studying
the forest conditions of Nebraska with
reference to planting on large scale,
and we will have some report of their
work Altogether, this will be one of
the most important meetings ever held
in our state, and we hope for full and
enthusiastic gathering, so that the gov
ernment may know we are interested in
our own welfare.
We want every member of the So
ciety to be present, and bring others
We want thousand new members,
with their $1.0O each for admittance
and annual fee. Send to the president
for minutes of the society.
In matter Of this kind we trust the
citizens of our state and capital city will
show royal welcome and appreciation,
and that from the 5Oth of August there
will date a new zeal for the redemption
of the sand hills and the plains, and
that our great commonwealth will do
something for state forests and parks.

that un-still people, in wandering from
Georgia to California and back again,
seeking rest for the sole of their foot,
seem to have brought word of the ex-
istence of auriferous sand to the ears of
Green Russell, the man who is known
as the pioneer miner of Colorado. Gen
eral Marcy would claim this honor for
teamster belonging to his command in
1858; "while our ferryboat was being
constructed, one of our citizen en-
ployes washed from the sands of Cherry
Greek a small amount of gold-dust,
which he showed to me. Soon after
ward he was discharged and went to
St. Louis, and in a short time the min
ers commenced focking to the To-
cality." But other soldiers had seen
the same signs the year before, accord
ing to Bancroft; and in any event,
Green Russell was already on the march
early in the spring Of 1868, accompanied
by some Of the Cherokees as guides. At
Leavenworth others joined them, and a
party from Lawrence was soon on their
trail as we'll; before winter there were
four hundred men at Denver; and the
rest of the story is well known.
The first mention of the discoveries
from which Nebraska City began at
once to expect so much for herself, oc-
ours in the News of September 4, 1858.
1t is as follows:
"The Pixies Peak Gold Mines. Ar
rival of Mountaineers with the Dust.
Six hundred dollars dug out in a single
week with knives and tomahawks !! |!
Where the mines are. How to get there.
The Route. The Place of Outfit. I'M
mense Excitement"
The EDITORS information was not at
first hand, however. He quotes from
the Kansas City Journal of Commerce
all account of the arrival of one party
with gold, and from the Rulo Western
Guide another. The Kansas City paper
says there were nine men, "all of them
old mountaineers, who have spent their
lives in the mountains. Mons. Bord-
eau has not been in the States in nine
years until the present time" The fol-
lowing names are given: Bordeau,
Richard, Boesinette, Primo and John
Cantrell, an old citizen of Westport.
The Rulo paper announces the return
of "our fellow townsmen, Charles Mar
tin and VIM. Kenceleur, who have been
absent for more than two months on a
trip to Platte Bridge"
This brings to mind the uncontra-
, dicted statement in that storehouse of
misinformation, the published papers of
the State Historical Society, that A. G..
} Barnes (of Lincoln in 1856 who
; reached Plattsmouth on Christmas Day
} of 1858, was the first who brought gold

their trouble. Tempted by their sue
cess, they made second trip, and were
attacked and most of them killed by the
Indians"
Two private travellers in this year also
have left interesting tales on record. 1t
is pity there were not more of them
No doubt the western camp-fres Of the
40's heard some of the best stories that
have ever been told in the world what
would one not give for full steno
graphic report of some of those ses-
sions?
"Many time" said the Canadian
Reynal to young Francis Parhman, in
camp west of Fort Laramie, "when
was with the Indians, have been hunt
ing for gold all through the Black Hills"
(That is, the Black Hills of Wyoming.)
"There's plenty of it here you may be
certain of that I have Dire eamed about
it fifty times, and never dreamed yet
but what it came out true. Look over
yonder at those black rocks piled up
against that other big rock. Don't it
look as if there might be something
there? 1t won't do for a white man to
be rummaging too much about these
mountains; the Indians say they are full
of bad spirits; and believe myself that
it's no good luck to be hunting about
here after gold"
One Edwin Bryant, in the same year,
fell by night upon the camp of "Old
Greenwood" near Clear Lake in Cali
fornia. This Greenwood seems to be
the same who figures in Mr.. Beck
wourth's enticing memoirs; he took
Bryant in, fed him, and impaired wis
dom to him. II was here twenty years
ago. before any white man see this lake
and the rich land about it. Thar's beer
springs here, better than them in the
Rocky Mountains thar's mountain of
solid birthstone, and thar's mines of
gold and silver, all of which know'd
many years ago, and 1 can show them
to you if you will go with me in the
morning."
This brings us to the discovery Of
gold in California in 1849, in a stream
which had been frequented for many
years by the trappers who, as one of
them told DR.. Peters, never looked for
gold, never saw any gold; and
would not have believed it was
gold if they had, unless it had had
the stamp Of the United States upon it..
One result of the California discover
les was, that the west was filled with men
who knew something of gold-bearing
rocks, and particularly how to wash
sand for the precious metal. But when
the time came for the opening up of the
treasure-house of the Rockies proper, it
is singular that it should have been no
