that when II adjourned it be until Mon
day. February y. for the purpose of CIV
ing the joint revenue committee time in
which to complete its work of framing a
revenue bill
Not since 1t convened. January 6. has
anything stirred the animus of the legis-
lature as did the debate on this question.
Those favoring and those opposing adj
journment pressed their contentious with
relentless vigor.

Hall. Kennedy of Douglas. Spurlock of
Cass and others. led in the fight for ad-
tOurnment. while Ten Eyck Of Douglas,
with many others. championed the oppo-
site side. In the senate Harrison of Hall
and Brown Of Keya Paha were the lead
crs for adjournment and Howell Of Doug

posing leaders.

adjourned until February 3 all regular or

all members filing applications with the

before the house had time to vote on the
matter 1t was advised that the senate
would concur in adjourning until Febru-

spring of 1864 our brigade was twenty
or thirty miles east of Chattanooga
and with no expectation of severe
weather the men lay down under
blankets or the thin shelter tents, and
during the night were literally showed

next morning there were six inches
of snow on the ground. The camp
looked like q cemetery. with its clus-
ters and lines of little hillocks. and
there was only one flre in the brigade,
and that vas at guard headquarters.
AS the men were reused from
heavy sleep and threw out their arms
to lift overcoat, cape or blanket from
their faces the snow startled them to
sitting or standing posture, and the
scene was comical beyond any other
ever saw in the army. Those who
had taken of their shoes could not
find them. Many could not find their
hats. All were chilled. but the boys
laughed md swore by turns. Then
they started to build fires, and while
some cut down dead trees as big as
saw logs, others tore down an old
barn, and In half an hour dozens of
big fires were going. coffee was boil.

bodies warm the men were as frolic.

OPPOSE COUNTY OFFICERS BILL.

The bill introduced i'm the senate at the
request Of the County Officers associa-
ton IS hung up in the committee. and
when it comes forth there will likely be
absent from it that We recommend that
it be passed., though the bill will be re-
ported favOrably. 1t is not the fact that
the committee does not favor a four-yeaY
tenure of office. for a majority Of the
committee does. But the committee does
nct intend to recommend that a county
officer hold Office for time longer than
the time for which he was elected. An
other objection Is that the committee
does not favor having every county elec-
ton held on presidential year or even
year. as provided by the bill Said one
OF the committee:
I'VE are in favor of Cornty officers
holding Office for four years. but I for
one do not want to tell a community
that the man it has chosen for two years
should serve three. 1t is the right of the
people to do that and not the legislature,

BILL FOR GREATER OMAHA.

Senator Howell of Douglas in the sem
ate laid the first stone in paving a way
for greater Omaha. S. F. 130. introduced
by Senator Howell. provides for a bill for
a joint resolution to amend article x OF
the constitution. The amendment Offere0
by the Douglas senator is as follows:
THAT where more than One-half Of the
inhabitants of any county shall reside
within the corporate limits of some or
ganized city the legislature may by law
provide for the creation of such territory
as may be designated within said county
into one political organization to be
known as the city and county of -
and to be governed by one set of officers
and the outlying territory, if any there
be. of such county may by legislative act
be attached to the adjacent county OF
counties without the vote of the inhabit-
ants. and to such new municipal organic
alton the right to make its own charter
by a vote Of the people within such city
may be granted and regulated by law.
Upon the division of any county under
this provision the sections so separated
shall each pay its just proportion of the
general indebtedness, to be ascertained
and provided for. as may by law be de-
termined.

The Soldiers Tear.

Upon the hill he turned
To take a last fond look
or the valley and the village church.
And the cottage by the brook.
He listened to the sounds
So familiar to his ear:
And the soldier leaned upon his sword
And wiped awaya tear.
Beside that cottage porch
A girl was knelt in prayer:
She held aioft q snowy scarf.
Which fluttered in the air:
She breathed a prayer for him.
A prayer he could not hear:
But he paused to bluster as she knelt.
And wiped away a tear.
He turned and left the spot.
o. do not call him weak.
For dauntless was the soldiers heart
Though tears were on his cheek:
Go watch the foremost ranks
In dangers dark career,
Be sure the hand most daring there
Has wiped away a tear.

ROW ON At
ORPHEUM
De Lacey's Ring In
Kunkel's Custody.
A Plot.

An unusual thing occurred previous
to the performance of I'm Sleeps
Clothing last Saturday, that was net
seen from the from but which caused
great grief to one of the members of
the Lyceum Stock Company.
Jean de Lacey was made sad and
the cause of his heart paths was This:
De Lacey has ring-or had one
Iiancy and which he claimed was once
owned by Haroun al Roschid. After
Mr.. Raschid's demise the ring became
the property of Belshazzar de Kia who
presented it to Sahib Deilachi, first
cousin, and the MISREPRESENTATION
of De Lacey of today. Now this rare
Oriental gem was supposed to be of
pure carbon and therefore a diamond
of wonderful value.
AS is the custom with many who pos
sess rare jewels, De Lacey had an imi-
tation made of the Indian diamond for
stage work and kept the genuine gem
in his dressing room. 1t happened that
when changing the rings he forgot to
put the real diamond in its accustomed
place in his plush jewel box, and left
it in all it's beauty lying open to the
gaze of the Thespians and-Kunkel.
Now Kunkel is very fond of rock
candy and fancy candies fashioned
into pretty shapes. So seeing what he
supposed was a new thing in the candy
line he picked it up and swallowed it.
AS Kunkel has some Israelitish blood
in him it was hard to make him sur
render his ill-gotten jewelry-and all
the doctors could get back was the gold
band.
Kunkel says that the stone has dis
solved; the other members of the Ly-
ceum Company have chained their
trunks to the floor; and De Lacey fol-
lows Kunkel all over town for fear he
will pawn himself.
Oh, to be a diamond!
