The Omaha Republican relates the following details Of q strange theft: Las evening sam DeaTin, the musical genius Of the LszdFilie ministries, came put upon the stage at the Academy OF Music and started to 90 through with his performances on various instru- ments- He had rendered two or three numbers when he discovered that some Of his instruments, which he had put at q convenient place behind the scenes, had suddenly and m~ysteriously disappeared The discovery broke him all up in business, and he couldn't in- ish his part of the programme. Sam Gardner stepped to the front and stated 70 the audience that some one had stolen Mr.. Dearin's instruments, and therefore he could not finish his per- formances. Some were disposed to re- gard 1t as q joke, and but few believed the statements. It was a fact, never theless, and the police were imme- diately informed Of what had occurred, Policemen Mcclure and German sus- Pecting the thief TO DO s.Dug" Nc Guire, boy who had been carrying water to the dressing-room and dong errands on the stage, went TO his home and found him in beb. They arrested him, Notwithstanding the kick made by his parents. and he believing that some n had given him away, con- fessed that he had taken the fiddle and the banjo, and that they were concealed In an old stove. The instruments were found there, and were returned to Dearin, who was greatly pleased over their recovery. Young Mcclure had q partner In the theft, and he stated that they had intended to steal the instruments the night before but could not get at them. The fiddle and the banjo are said to be the smallest instruments Of the kind ever played upon, and had Dearin not recovered them he would have had hard work 10 replace them.

A few days ago we recorded a very remarkable feat in chirography by an Ottawa (Ill.) printer, who wrote over $500 words upon a postal card. We have now received another card from the same place, containing the sixth and seventh chapters of st. Matthew, and the first, second and third chapters of St. John, up to and including part II the thirteenth verse, making in all 8, 2of words, which would lie considerably more than two columns of the Chicago Tribune. The work was done by lamp light, and without a glass, by Neil J. Brown. who claims that by daylight he can write 1000 wordsi Next

ana rule, ana IS content mat man should assume the reins of government, ,and recIines with sense of protection and security on his love and justice, if she willing7y leaves the office of protector to man, then most surely it is not an act of injustice or oppIes- sion in man to yield to her desire and to administer the affairs of government inde- pendent of her action. When we consider that the intellectual faculties of both sexes are similar, differing only in degree of pow er; that their natural wants and necessities are alike, it follows that those laws which are ordained for the protection and preser- vation of one sex, must be equally as efec tual to protect and preserve The other, and that woman may be rendered secure and happy by laws enacted by man. Again, it is urged that woman does not give her sane ton to this exclusion. That she does con- sent to this exclusion, am persuaded cam not be denied when we consider the sphere in which Nature and Natures God have designed her TO move; that there is dis linct line of demarcation between the duties of man and woman and the character of the influence they exert; that hers is the do mestic circle; hers the social and fireside ibAuCHIC3 IuoI IilHucuCS So potcut "llSu rightly exered, so effectual TO promote and perpetuate morality and virtue when pro- perzy directed, and that hers are the airi- butes of charity, benevolence, love and mer- cy.

The City Election approaches, and it is I'M portant that men, who reckon themselves good citizens, should make up their minds as to the proper course for them to pursue Certainly, the first consideration should be to vote for candidates who will be likely to ad- minister the affairs Of the city with fidelity to the interests intrusted to their care. Now, who are the men most likely to do this thing Are they men who have been nominated 10y the masses Of the people or are they those who have been put forward by the mere wire workers of an ofice-seeking clique There will be Just such candidates in the field as these latter-men pretending to be the nominees of party but in reality nothing more nor less than the nominees ofa self sufficient domineerng cabal who want every. thing ia their own hands. We allude to those persons particularly who assume to think and act Tor the Administration Democ- racy Of this county The masses of that par ty desire union of the Democratic strength of this city and county. Both they and the majority of the Douglas organization regret that the Democracy are divided, and are anxious to see all divisions healed But no, this little ottieious cabal, (who happen to be able to control the County and the City Com mittees) say that it shall not be-they will not suffer this union to take place-and whyY Because, they are afraid that majority OF the party would repudiote them in the Con- ventions!

Too MUCH OF A GOOD Thing. - / here is to be great talk among the Piutes at the reservation, says the Walker Lake Bulletin. Some months ago, fearing another dry season, tbe Indians had rain or wet talk. At that meeting. one Jakey Wilson, the Modern Moses of the Plutes, was deputized to go up in the mountains and "see Jesus" and ask for moisture. He went. The Indians all solemnly aver that Jakey saw Jesus, who promised that rain should fall. The most skeptical cannot deny that water fell. Now, however, Mr.. Indian says he is too wet and cold and can't keep warm. accordingly the Piutes will assemble tonight, and Jakey Wilson will again be sent up the mountains with a nu merously signed petition that the food gates be closed for a little while. Let us hope that Jakey will be successful in his mission.

The Brooksville, Fla, Register pays a former resident of this city the following eulogy: George G. Martin and family left last Tuesday morning for San Fran cisco, CAL, with the intention of making that city their future home. Col. Martin came from GAINESVILLE, Tenn, to BroOksville in 1888 and at once entered upon the practice of his profession, law. In a few months he was offered and accepted partner ship by Col. Coogler, the Nestor Of the fernando bar, and with whom he has been associated ever since I'M der the firm name of Coogler & Mar tin. TO say that they had large practice and stood at the head of our bar is but to state that with which all of our readers are familiar. Asia lawyer Col. Martin enjoyed most enviable reputation, of which his success in winning cases is ample proof as a man he had the respect and confidence of all who knew him, and as a leader in the Democratic party his services were of great value and contributed nolittle to party sue cess. For the past two years he has been member of and secretary of the Democratic Executive Commit tee of our county, which position he resigned only few days ago. Not only has he made money in the prac- tice of law, but he has beenvery fortu- nate in some investments in phos~ phate lands which yielded him a handsome profit. Courteous, able and fearless, it is indeed with regret that we announce his removal from our town, for we cannot afford to lose such citizens. However he car ries with him our best wishes for success in his new field of labor.

On the morn of June Gath, a small party from Grant county started for Prairie du / Chen TO attend the commencement exercise at ST. aary's Institute. As We approached the Bridgeport bridge We we're brought to halt by a large food several feet deep and many yards wide that flowed across the road. Beyond this stream we could see the plank Of the slough bridge jus, over the water. and little further on again rushed the food over the road and through deep gorges cut in its grade. The bridge over the main channel was .all right, sppar- / entity, and the water was within few feet OF the joists o. tho bridge. It lad been inpos- sible 10 cross the bridge since the 10th, so | we had 10 cross in little skiff capable OF carrying four persons, and canoe, shaped ike half mustard pod and somewhat larger. / intended to carry one. In order TO get our party over in two trips, We crowded six into | the larger boat and three into the canoe Az / ter a dangerous but nice ride Of mile and a quarter we reached the landing where we took the stage for Prairie da Chen, and in a short time we're in sight of the Gather of Waters" now swellad to twice its usual size, and looking doubly majestic.

His face is clean shayen, except 4 short mustache which is jet black near the roots and white as driven snow at the ends. This fact renders the man more conspicuous. His fore head bulses over his eyes, and is well rounded. Hair grayish and cut short. A fez cap covered his dome Of thought. The rest Of his attire consisted of a gray cloth sack, and pa~ntaloons Of the same stun. Patent leather slippers encased his small feet. On the whole he was neatly dressed. "I'm glad TO see you, sir" said Mr.. sheshadri. extending his hand. Are there any papers published here?" Being informed that there were, he said: "Then l take it that this must be a christian community" II will be observed that the reverend gentleman employed good language; good for 4 Hindoo.
