BROADBRIM'S 1 1 LETTER.
Never sine the great Washington ex
citement of 1842, has New York experienced
Inch a remarkable temperance revolution
as that which Is now upon us. It Is no
Mcret that some of the vilest and lowest
drinking places In the city are conducted
by Irishmen who were nominally Catholics,
and this was felt to ha a libel on the re
spectable portion of our Irish population
and a scandal on the Catholic church.
Archblsbsp Corrigan is a man of very pro
Bounced opinions, and very sensitive on
any point that affect the welfare or charac
ter of the Catholic church. Among the
clergy her there are scores tf nun who
wr worthy to have tood by Father
Matthew In tb hour of his greatest
triumph. Among tbise are Father Hare,
Father Fransloll,-and many others equally
eminent. Temperance legions are belnp
formed in all the churches, and meetings
art held every Sunday evening and though
the week. The ofScer are mostly laymen,
but the working power Is the prles;hood,
and it looks like the beginning of a great
crusade which may yet shake the United
States from center to circumference. The
Archbishop has given it bis sanction and
hearty co-operation, and all the meetlncs
was a very solemn ceremony, and a perfect
representation of how the Patriarchs con
ducted their sacrifices $tghteen hundred
and eiahtv-nlne vears ago! The next
tableau will be King Solomon's templo, all
covered oyer with solid gold, and ice-cream
thrown In for fifteen cents. I rejoice to
add that the tableaux are a financial suc-
ctss.
You who read of the crowded houses and
the applause and the bouquets, etc , etc,
know little of the trials and bufferings of
those women who represetn the talent and
genius of the American and English stage,
For two or three weeks Mrs. Langlry has
been trying to act in a condition of health
that would have sent nine women out of
ten, or ninety-nine out of a hundred to a
a lunatic asylum. She Is the victim of a
terrible catarrhal affection which makes
her life as miserable as miserable can bo.
One painful operation has succeeded an
other, and those are by no means certain of
success. The only pleasant thing connect
ed with her creat misfortune Is the sym
pathy of the reporters of tho dally papers.
They begin ringing her bell at fonr o'clock
in the morningto hear If there Is any change
lu her symptoms, and they keep it up at
intervals of every flye minutes till two o'
clock in the next morning.,
Young men from eighteen to twenty-
two are usually detailed for this class of
business, and the only thing likely to mill- will be a rush for the occupancy of those

that Mrs Langtry Is too ill to receive them a proclamation act of President Harrison

to wait in the parlor till she recovers, if the a large population Is awaiting thl prom
ised land. It is said the hot winds of wes
tern Kansas originate In the Oklahoma
r.'glon, and when the virgin prairlo soil Is
once broken up there and luxuriant crops
cover the vast area, the much to be dreaded
hot winds will be a thing of the past. Dur
ing the past decade but little of these hot
winds, so destructive to vegetation, have
been experienced In Nebraska, but before
Kansas was so generally occupied, settler.-
hero suffered similarly. Hot winds, of
course, are the result of intense drouth, and
amazingly profit by a little travel either
West or South, and get to know moro about
Undo Sam's wonderful domain, and at the
same time cultivate broader views. The
spirit of travel Is developed to a far greater
degree In the average Western man than
In the Eastern man. You will rarely find
a young man In the west, out of his teens,
who has not been over several States, and
Is remarkable well posted In the geography
of the country, while It Is really a common
thing In the cast to find people well on In
years who have never been very far be
yond the confines of their native county.
There is no doubt that this traveling-fea
ture, which brings them In continual con
tact with others accounts largely for the
Intelligence and acutencss of the western
people as a class, and Imbues them with an
amplitude of vim and progrcsslveness.
The rush for homesteads, tree claims, &c,
to the western part of this State and Kan-
sos and thence Into Colorado, has about
subsided the best of the land Is taken,
But the excitement for land was intense
fonr years ago. When tho land craze was
at its helghth I was forcibly reminded of
the great oil craze In western Pennsylvania
twenty years ago, and the subsequent slate
fever craze in eastern Pennsylvania. The
Oklahoma country, In Indian Territory,
will In the near future be thrown open for
settlement and when that tlmearrivcs there

former resident of that Township and In a
business career of oyer 15 years, I knew

oldest grandpa, and as a matter of course I

ence there from Aquashlcola creek to Poho

the Nicholas Brunncr Graber's Dell."

Our latest fashionable fad now is tab
leaux; mot but we have had tableaux be
fore, but we have bad no such tableaux as
are now delighting New York and Brook
lyn. Last year we did a Greek play with a
chorus, and the ladles who figunred there
in thought that-they looked so pretty In
the costum of Lias, Aspasla and Phryne
that they quite forgot that these particular
Grtek ladies enjoyed in their day a very
unsavory reputation which even their
association with the old philosophers could
not bolster up, and that while their gowns
were Tery good tbelr morals were very bad;
but this appeared to make no difference
With Miss Flora McFlmlsy. So Phryne
gowns became all the go. Now we have
mad a stp In advance, and last week wn
gave at Palmer's Theatre tableaux from
"Bern Eur." As a general thing we rele
gate tableaux toSunday Schools and church
entertainments as a mild form of dissipa
tion to thos who would be horrified to
hear th characters speak on the stage of a
theater. The "Ben Hur" tableau drew
together a most fashionable and enthusias
tic audlanc, and it looks now as though
thts tableaux would b a fashlonabl fad
all over the country.
While on the subject of tableaux let me
not forget those given by the African
Methodist Episcopal Church of Brooklyn,
over which presides the Bey. Mr.Chrlstmas.
Brother Christmas Is a hard-working labor
er ia the Lord's vlneyaid, but I regret lo
add that Brother Cbrlstmas's congregation,
forgetful of that divine declaration, that
"the laborer is worthy of his hire," neglect-
ti to give to C'Ksar th things which
were Cassars, and as aconrequence
it left Brother Christmas at outs with the
butcher, the baker, and the candlestick
maker. That "a man can not llye by
bread alone," Is true so It Is equally true,
that in these wicked latter days, he Inds
faith alone very unsubstantial board. Some
of the trustees bad taken offenc at Broth
er Christmas' course in the late election,

Brother Christmas prayed that he might

dent of the Young Mens' Colored Demo
eratlc ultveland and Thurman Club, rose
In hi pew aad said, "that he did not want

ion that be would take his straight every
time," and be cautioned the pastor not to
forget it. The warning was lost on Broth-
r Christmas, and he continued to pray for
Harrison, and It Is evident that the Lord
answered bis prayer, for Harrison was
elecUd. Thea Brother Brown got mad;
with th defeat of Cleveland, the Young
Mn's Democratic Club went to flinders,
and the president and the other two
mtmbtr of tb club were left out in the
Cld,
Brother Brown, as trustee, used ta pass
th contribution box on Sunday, but be
dtclartd that he wasn't a' goln' to pass no
contribution box for no political preacher,
aad, as I said before, Brother Christmas

Wobderful to relate Mrs. Potter who
physically Is scarcely a shadow alongside
the women named, has come through her
trying ordeal as fresh as a daisy, and after
raking In all the shekels that New York
has got tosparowith Antony and Cleopatra,
has taken possession of the magnificent
Amphion Theatre In Brooklyn, and the box
sheet Is filled for a week. Speaking of the
Amphion Theatre, it Is one of the finest
dramatic structures on either side of the
river, Up to two years ago, Brooklyn had
no place where first-class opera could be
produced, except the Academy of Music,
and that was handicapped by 250 free scats
for the stockholders. This was ruinous to
the managers, so the Amphion was put up,
and after a brief season passed into the
hands of the very enterprising managers
Knowles and Morris, who also held the
beautiful Grand Opera House. This has
completely revolutionized theatrical mat
ters In Brooklyn, which now gets all that
New York has. Booth and Barrett pla

to a close, the engagement promises to be
one of the most remarkable ever seen In
Brooklyn.
The committee to which bas been as

Into the millions the necessity of a careful
judgment is most important. For many
years the question has been discussed as to
the necessity of baying a grand Cathedral
in New York, and the matter took definite
shape two or three years ago. At no time
has there been any lack of funds to carry
out the plan, for aside from the wealth of
the different church corporations, indlyid
ual donations haye been guaranteed suffic
ient, to cover an possiDie cost of the con
templated structure. The most magnifictnt

" A homeless, drifting band are wc,
Yet lucky in a high degree,
For when the house was swept away
Befbre the freshet yesterday,
To find the bottom went the cans, '
Along with kettles, spoons, and pans ;
But safe above the house and mill,
The ' IVORY SOAP ' was floating still I
For, strange to say, 'tis not confined
To cleaning things of every kind,
From coarsest cloth to finest lace,
From painted walls to pimpled face,
But proves indeed the greatest prize,
When rain descends and rivers rise;
So while we have a life to save,
We'll praise the Soap that rides the wave!"
A WORD OF WARNING.
There-are many white soaps, each represented to be " Just as good as the ' Ivory' "
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

Latter From Mr. Craig,
Blue Spuing s, Neb., March 20, '60,
Mb. Mortiiimbr, Dear Sir: After
quite a period of silence I am somehow
prompted to again break In upon your col
umns to apprise you and your many read
ers that I am still holding forth with my
family In this modest little (anti-saloon)
hurt;, in enterprising young Nebraska,
having as yet not been pulverized by a
cyclone, nor been scared out by, anything
from a buffalo down to a jack-rabbit, nor
yen starved out by Western grasshoppers.
It must be oiera year ao,o that you stated
In the Advocate that I would furnish an
article, to appear very soon, and It placed
me In a committed attitude from which I
cannot easil) extricate myself, eyen at 'this
late day; so If your readers think a letter
from me now Is what I term soon, tlioy may
be constrained to believe we Western peo
ple usually get credited with more activity
and progresslveness, as a rule, than Is
actually due us. Well, If yon -will only
pardon me, I will try to reconcile mjselt to
the fact that It Is "better late than never."
It seems to me more mythical than real
that a trifle over six years have rolled awaj
since I became a resident of Nebraska, and
so completely verifies the full lapse of tluie,
perhaps, as to note the death record of so
many old acquaintances In the East. A
six year's residence on the prairie bas made
this beautiful landscape a sort of monot
ony to my eye, yet not unpleasantly such,
and for a brief change I could appreciative
ly enjoy a glimpse of the rugged eld Blue
Mountain and its subaltern, Slouy Ridge,
on the west. From Infancy up to the shady
side of forty, my eyes have scarcely a for
day failed to behold these romtQtic heights
hibltor, amendment, ,o that the question RaWOl'th'S Galley
will now go before the people for ratlnca-1 v '
tlon or rejection. I would like to see the
prohibition forces rally and put the dear
old State in throes and convulsions until
the election day In June, to tnat the peo
ple may become educated and enlightened
to voto for God, home and native land.
Our Nebraska Leeislature has also adopted
a subtnlsslvo prohibitory amendment, but
according to our Slat constitution the
question cannot come before the people till
the fall of 1800. ire have an old granny

Important question that concern; this great
