It was an excellent school ' for the development of the traits of character that have since made him so conspicuous. • i: r !,' ' . It is again proposed at Washington to thoroughly reorganize the army. Such a reorganization is greatly needed, but the influences against any change are so powerful that it is questioned if it will be effected until the present generation of officers dies off. A St. Louis lunatic swears that he will take Guiteau's life. It might be well to lock the two in a small room, the St. Louis lunatic being armed to the teeth, and let them settle their dispute without interference. Which ever survived the encounter should be promptly hanged. Thk New York stalwarts offered to hold a caucus immediately on the begin ning of the canvass for the Senatorship, and pledged themselves to abide by its decision. The half-breeds refused to agree to the proposition. Now that the half-breeds have held a caucus the stal warts are justified in repudiating its ac tion. The number of men who now announce that they have been shot through the liver and fully recovered, leads us to sup pose that that must have been the favor ite spot aimed at by our contending soldiers' and also that it is the safest place to hit a man when you don't want to hurt him much. It seems to make a liver of him. Platt had the good sense to withdraw from the Senatorial canvass the moment hie name was associated with a scandal, although that scandal did not affect his official integrity. Depew waited for over a month after his name had been taintei with the charge of bribery. Platt pursued much the more honorable course of the two. f The doings of the Wiiliams, orMaxfleld, brothers over in Wisconsin are suggestive of like tragedies on the frontier of Texas. It is to be regretted that even if captured the desperadoes cannot receive their deserts under the laws of Wisconsin. The only hope is that their captors will take the law into their own hands and execute summary justice, without waiting for the courts to interpose. The Republican organs are just now exercising their capacity for ingratitude in abusing the vast army of lunatics that infest the country, an element that is successfully utilized by the dominent party in creating their majorities. If it were not for the lunatics the money contributed by government thieve 3to elect Republican candidates would avail nothing. The lunatics, however, can bide their time, as the fall elections are near at hand, when their party managers will again greet them at the polls with smiles and promises of office. LET IT BE NATIONAL. The Globe reproduces with its cordial approval an article relative to the Mrs. Garfield fund, which appeared a few days since in the N. Y. World. The proposi tion therein is to make the fund pro posed to be raised a national one, instead of the gift of the New York chamber of commerce. One paper even goes goes so far as to -claim that the raising of this fund as it now stands is in the nature of a bribe in case the President survives, and proposes that all action be postponed until the question of life and death is determined, and if the latter, make a popular fund of a million dollars for the afflicted family. Mr. Vanderbilt is thus far the only oue of the subscribers who has man ifested this tenderness, and his donation of $5,000 to the fund is conditional and to be withdrawn if the President sur vives. The reception of gifts by the President of the United States, either directly or indirectly, is undoubtedly objectionable, and this public sentiment was fully venti lated in the case of Gen. Grant. The presentation of j a purse to Mrs. Garfield by a few wealthy gentlemen of New York will be objectionable to the Presi dent, if he survives, and the fund should be secured wi thout making any such em barrassment. The inception of the move ment was to manifest practical sympathy with the stricken family, and give voice to the abhorrence of the crime which has been committed, not only against them but against the country. This sympathy and abhorrence combined pervades the entire country and it is emi nently proper that it should have expres sion in a popular, national contribution to the fund in question. This makes a provision for the family without attach ing any objectionable features and en ables the country to practically mani- fest its sympathy. The suggestion of the World that sub scriptions be opened by the newspapers can be improved upon by the selection of committees to receive the offerings of the people, and that Minnesota may join in making this a popular and prac tical movement the Globe takes the liberty of requesting General ft, W. Johnson, Robert A. Smith, Esq., and Gen, John T, AveriJl to act as a com mittee to receive contributions to the Mrs. Garfield fund in sums from one dol lar upwards. By placing the amount as low as one dollar it gives opportunity for all to contribute, and those who may desire to make it a larger sum will be accorded ?« the privilege. This committee can forward Minnesota contributions to what is prop erly termed the parent fund of the New York chamber of commerce, and the money will thus be safely invested for the purpose desired. It is to be hoped these gentlemen will accept the trust, and that Minnesota will join in this prac tical manner in manifesting her sympa thy and her utter repudiation of the great crime committed. Let it be the popular, free will offering of the people to the family of the man who has been stricken, not as an individual, but because he stood as the representative of the whole coun try. ON XHJB DIAMOND. The Ball Gama Yesterday Between the Minstrel Nine and Silver Stars -The Lat ter Victors by 11 to s— Some Good and Many Bad Plays. The crowd of pedestrians who yesterday afternoon walked across the bridge, and plod ded through the tand of the West St. Paul flats to near the location of the old Red Cap base ball grounds— and the goodly number of ladies aud gentlemen who were present in their carriages — and sat and stood around in the broiling sun for two hours and a half to witness the ball game between the nine of Haverly's New Mastodon Minstrels, (Manager Joe Mack, captain,) and the Silver Star nine of this city, shows that the interest in this great American sport is not dead in St. Paul, but only sleeping, waiting some favorable combination of cir cumstances, to awakes it into renewed and even more healthy life than ever before. The game was announced for 2:39 o'clock, but it was 3 before the minstrel nine appeared on the ground, when anotker fifteen minutes was consumed in arranging the details. When it is understood the diamond was improvised for the occasion, small stones forming the bases, that the ground was rough and covered with grass and weeds, and that both nines were out of practice, the Silver Stars not having played half a dozen games this season, and the minstrels not haying been out for more than two weeks, anything more than a muffing game could not reasonably be expected. And s uch it was in the mam, though every now and then there was a spurt, a flash, a scintillation of good play— enough to keep a thorough base ball enthusiast instructed in the progress of the play. The two nines were as follows: Haverly's— Mullen, p.; Ingham, c; Mack, s. 8.; Queen, 1 b.; Harley, 2 b. ; Garland, 3 b.; Mills, i. f.; Russell, c. f.; Flynn, r. f. Silver Btarfl—M. Cody, c; J. Rody, p.; W. Fetzer, 1 b.; J. Worrick, a. s.; W. Allen, 2 b.; J. Becker, 3 b.; D. Kelley, 1. f.; G. Nettleton, c. f.;T. Merritt, r.f. THE PLAT. The minstrels went to bat first and were re tired in one, two, three order, not being able to hit Cody just a little, while the Stars suc ceeded through the drop of an easy fly by Mul lens and two wild throws in scoring three -uns. The second inning was a repetition of the first except Haverly, dropped two easy flies. In the next three innings, neither nni c succeeded in scoring, though had they minded captain Mack, the minstrels might have se cured at least one if not two runs in the fifth inning. Up to this time the batting bad been very light, but the work now began to tell on the pitchers and hits from this out were more frequent. In the sixth inning a clean hit and a bad throw gave the minstrels their first run, the Silver Stars fol lowing with two, on one hit and errors. In he seventh inning the minstrels scored two runs and the Stars three. This ended the run getting for the Stars, both nines being whitewashed in the eighth, while in the ninth and last the minstrels added two runs to their score. The following is the score of the game by innings: Haverly's 0 0000180 2—5 Stars ...3 3 0 0 0 2 3 0 o— lt Both the pitchers and the catchers did some excellent work, and with practice would un doubtedly be very proficient in their positions. Quite a number of really brilliant plays were made, and any number of bad ones, but the game was a good deal better than no game at all to a ball enthusiast, of whom St. Paul has a. good many left. The game was umpired very promptly and satisfactorily by Mr. Frank Wright, treasurer of the minstrels. Had the minstrel boys paid a little more attention to the coaching of Capt. Muck, who we under stand is an old league player, the game would have resulted more to their credit. BOATING. Arranging: for the Practice of the St. Paul Club. Yesterday Col. Leip commenced to build a boat house in front of his famous hotel at White Bear for the use of the crew who go to Washington in September next, as already described in the Globe. It will be 10x50 feet in size, and will am ply accommodate the crew, its boat and accompanyments. Capt. Butler feels un der the greatest obligations to Col. Leip to this matter, but as everyone, including the officers of the Duluth road, have been so extremely kind and generous in this matter, it is hard to tell who most to thank. The crew will commence going to tne lake on Thursday, and will thenceforth row on one of the two surveyed courses in front of the Hotel Leip. One runs, along the south shore to a point beyond the island, while the other was under the north shore to a point far beyond the Williams house. One of these courses will un doubtedly be fairly smooth each night, and probably before the boys leaves for Washington, they will be in fine shape to row in either smooth or rough water. The boat which has been ordered made by Waters* Sons, of Troy, New York, will be 19 inch oeam by 40 feet bow. It will be braced and rigged the same as the famous Peoria boat, and will be de livered in Washington, August 15th, at a cost of $400. M. F. Davis, of Portland, Maine, who makes to-day the finest oars and oar-locks in the world, will provide those articles for the boat, and it is pretty sure to be as dainty and as perfect a craft as will be floated upon the fair Potomac waters on September 9th, 1881. Bricklayers' Union. To the Editor of the Globe. The members of the Bricklayers' union of St. Paul, met at Arion ball Monday evening, it being the first quarterly meeting of the union much business had to be transacted. The question of the Warner and scab job business was acted upon during the session. It wan quickiy decided, unanimously, by the members that no union men should work on Warner scab job for the remainder of the year 1881, as he, (Warner), has violated his agree ment with the {committee, appointed by the union, to adjust matters during the strike in June,and moreover that his work ehall be known toall union men, here and elsewhere, as|the scab's and bungler's shop. State Library. Judge Stephenson received a letter yesterday from Hon. W. H. Henry, chair man of the Legislative Library committee of Virginia, saying, his request to the governor for the Virginia reports, stat utes, etc., for our State library, would be acted upon, on the assembling of the Legislature next winter, and there was little doubt, hut that Judge Stephenson's request would be granted. This will se cure the Virginia reports, statutes, etc., complete for our gtate library. THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 13, 1881. NEIGHBORHOOD NEWS.

Holt, Asier Clot tier, George Van Alstine. James De Wolf, T. D. Fisher, William Davis, Samuel Orr, A. Wilkinson, An drew Swenson John Buston and Robert Maloy. The case was opened by County Attorney Marsh, and Mr. Stolz called for the prosecution. Louis Stolz was called and testified to the facts of the murder. The witness was cross-examined by W. W. Erwin. The testimony of the witness is nearly the same as that report ed at the time of the murder. Mr, Willett's brother from lowa is here assisting the defense. Court adjourned until this morning at 9 o'clock. A Card from Rev. David Tice. Citt, July 12th, 1881. C. B. Jack, Esq., City: My Dear Sir — On my way from your office I procured a Daily Globe at the po6t office stand, and in looking over found that among the "Stillwater items" a paragraph relating to Peterson's "assault" upon me in the streets that ha 9 been so construed and perverted by the writer that it makes out several things so false as to be slanderous or a libel. Hence, this is to inquire of you if you wrote said paragraph for th« Daily Globe yester day, as it appears in to-day's paper? I under stood you were the correspondent for Stili water department of the St. Paul Daily Globe. Will you please, between this and half past 1 o'clock this afternoon, call and in form me if you are the author of said writing, and if so,will you "correct the misstatements" in the next issue? For you know— must know it: First— "Rev. Tice and P. N. Peterson had no "rough-and-tumble fight". Second— And they did not "settle the mat ter that way. There are other things in the writing that are equally absurd and voluntarily slanderous, and shows a purpose to injure the complain ant, and an immediate correction should be made by the author of said writing or be held responsible for the consequences. Your- respectJully, David Tice. The above note was handed the reporter of the Globe by a small boy (not the cripple), and we can only say that some day when we have time to make au apol ogy and it should happen to be our day for doing so, that we will take the mat ter under advisement. NORTHFIELD. Northfield, July 11.— Mr. H. Smith returned from Minneapolis Saturday, af ter four months' absence. Cap. Ed. Dampier, formerly of the Archer house, returned from Fergus Falls last night. Quite a severe rain and wind storm prevailed last night, lodging small grain in some low places on new ground, but we do not apprehend any ultimate dam age from that. Last night about eleven o'clock, two railroad men came tearing across, the bridge, one informed chief of police Baman that some one had shot at them near the depot. Baman prepared and hurried to the described place, where two well known boys had secreted them selves behind some old buildings, and as these men passed snapped some torpe does under their feet, and scared them half to death. Some weeks ago I prepared a correct report of the condition of the wheat in this portion of the State, and sent it to the Globe, for its many readers, but it has, for some reason, never appeared through its columns. As I stated in that article, that the the chinch bug had found its way to this part, not in such numerous quantities, but numerous to enough supply this part of the country with eggs and bugs enough to destroy the whole crop to a certain extent, 'fhis fact has been kept secret by our local press for what reason, there is no telling. But it Mr positively true that these eggs have, and are hatching out by the millions, and for the good of the farmers we advise them to examine, when they will find this to be the state of affairs. The New Mastodons. Haverly's new Mastodon minstrels closed their engagement last evening before a full house. The performance in its entirety was unexceptional!}- good. The vocalization was unusually good, and won the heartiest ap plause. The second partwus 6trong in nearly nil of its features, Gilfoil and Hall carrying off the principal honors, though they were, on the whole, very evenly divided. The company plays this evening at Still water, where, we understand, the sale of seats has been extreme ly large. The company is entitled to great credit, not only for the excellence of its performances, but for the uniform gentlemanly deportment of the members. They have comported them selves in a thoroughly gentlemanly manner at their hotels and on the streets, and will always be welcomed back to St. Paul. Noted Italian Brigand in New York. New Yort, July 12.— The steamer City of New Orleans arrived this morning, bearing on board Guisephe Esprito, alias Radazzo, the noted Italian brigand, who escaped from his native country one year ago and has since been living in New Orleans, where he was captured at the instance of the Italian consul. He is charged with a terrible catalogue of crimes. He was chief of a band of robbers who infested the Island of Sicily, and especial ly the neighborhood of Palermo, robbing, murdering and holding the captured travelers for ransom. Gas Fixtures, Portables, Shades, at Kenny & Hudner'g, THE GLOBE HOROSCOPE. As It Casts its Light on the Chicago Markets.

Oats un changed. Provisions are linn. Curb prices: August wheat, $1.12. CorH,46%c. Oats, 28c. Pork, $17.35. Lard, $11.40. THE MRS. GARFIELD FUND. A Sensible Proposition to Make it a Nation al Subscription [New York World, July 9.] Nothing could have been more prompt and more creditable than the action taken by the chamber of commerce on Friday, at the special meeting called to take ac tion upon the murderous assault upon the President of the United States. It is al ways a pity when a generous and sympa thetic impulse, like that which has thrill ed the people of this country for the past week, is allowed to evaporate and pass away in feelings or in words, and to "lose the name of action." In this case it would be peculiarly a pity. It has become a se rious question of late what provision the country should make for its surviving Chief Magistrates in justice to their ser vices and to its own dignity, and meth ods have been suggested which may have been the best of ■which the cases admitted, but which were perhaps hardly suitable to the dig nity of a great nation providing for the most eminent of its public servants. This question, thanks to the prompt generosity of the members of the chamber of com merce, may solve itself in the case of President Garfield. At the same time it | is scarcely just, and no doubt the mem bers of the chamber of commerce would admit it to be scarcely just, that the sense which the whole nation entertains of the insult and injury done to the whole nation in the assault upon its chief magistrate should be practically expressed only by what may be described as a syndicate of rich men in the metropolis of the country. The calamity is national; let the acknowl edgment of it be national also. There is scarcely an American citizen, whatever his occupation, however rich he may be or however poor, who has not during the past week wished that some way were opened to him by which he might fitly express his indignation at Guiteau's crime and his sympathy with the immediate victim of that crime and with his stricken family. A way has now been suggested by the chamber of com merce, the members of which, we feel sure, would be the last men to wish that any American citizen should feel himself excluded from joining their excellent and praiseworthy work, either from want of opportunity* or, what is practically as much of an obstruction, by reason of his inabiltty to approach the large amounts of the individual subscriptions already set down. It is, perhaps, most seemly that such a proposition should proceed from the political opponents of President Garfield. The World, therefore, proposes a national subscription, in the sum of $5 and upwards, for the purposes and under the conditions set forth in the subscrip tion list drawn up by Mr. Field and circu lated among the members of the chamber of commerce on Thursday— that is to say: "Towards a fund to be deposited with the United States Trust company, in trus*, to be kept invested in United States government bonds, the income thereof to be paid to Mrs. Garfield, the wife of the President, during her life^ and at her death the principal to be divi ded among the surviving children of James A. Garfield." The World will receive and acknowl edge, as the senders may indicate, such sums as may be sent to its office for this purpose, and will pay the amounts over to the treasurer of the chamber of com merce fund. No doubt our city contem poraries will undertake the same office. But, as we have said, the subscription ought not to be limited to New Yorkers nor to the readers of New York newspa pers. In every city and village in the country a^similar subscription would be as eagerly made as in New York, and in every city and village of the country which has a daily newspaper, that news paper will be willing to act as the local depository of the money subscribed. Of course there can be no doubt that the sub scription already begun by the chamber of commerce will be completed to the limit named by that body. But the subscription is not merely a means of raising the money. It is«also and quite as much a means of giving to every American who wishes it the privilege of contributing towards a fund which shall be a practical evidence of the loyalty of the country to its government ana of the sympathy of the country with its chief executive officer, in whose person the na tion itself has been assailed, and with his family. If the amount thus subscribed shall even double that originally contem plated by the chamber of commerce, there will be no subscriber to grudge his share of it, whether it shall prove to be a pro vision for the widow and the orphans of the President of the United States, or, as now most happily seems much more probable, a thank-offering for his recov ery from a murderous assault.

The dissensions among the railroads and discouraging reports in regard to the crops caused the decline. The Evening Post says: Although the news from Washington respecting the Presi dent's cond'tion was encouraging, yet the market was steadily weak and the lowest prices for money of the week. This was because of reports of 6til! more active hostilities between the trunk line roads and even lower rates for through freight and passenger traffic. A large majority on the Stock Exchange are bearish inclined and it is known that one or two specu lative capitalists who are connected with the management of the trunk lines are also bear ish. It was reported, however, that the latter were buying stocks quietly this morning un der cover of pixty day options, Lake Shore having sold at 119* seller sixty days.

FAST FINISHED Grlscom Completes his Allotted Forty- Five Days of Starving at 12 Xoon Yes terday—His Object in Trying the Ex periment—His JFirst Meal and How He Managed It. Chicago, July IS.— Griscom's long fast concluded at noon. In the forty-five days he has lost just fifty pounds in weight, to-day weighing 147* pounds, temperature 98, and pulse 55. About two hundred people were present to see him eat his first meal. The table was spread with the bill of fare already mentioned in these dispatches. Griecom stated to the audience he had procured everything his fancy suggested, not because he expected to eat all, but to satisfy his imagi nation, and have just what he might want. He thought he could eat a full meal without injury, but did not intend to do so. He believed that there was great virtue in fasting, and that he was willing to fast longer than necessary in order to show that it was a good medical agent. It had once cured him when physicians said he must die. He did not believe in indiscriminate or unnecessarily pro longed abstemiousness, but in moderate anil well considered fasting. At the conclusion of his speech he took goblet of milk, and with the game deliberation that bad marked his motion* all the morning, while superintending th« prepa-ation of his breakfast. He diank slow ly of its contents, which seemed to tempt him as little as any of his observers. Then he cautiously dissected some milk toast, after which, pressing his head, he complained of a slight headache. This passed away and he resumed practice at the table drinking coffee, and little by little, a nibble at the content* of most of the dishes. Although hungry and possessed of a good appetite he does not se*rn navenous. The crowd lingered an hour or more and left the wonder to himself. ENGLISH MARKETS.
