The son of Chief Justice Waite passed through St. Paul yesterday in a special car on his way to the Yellowstone where his father was injured. Information was received yesterday from all parts of the St. Paul & Manitoba road that there was a plenty of rain everywhere and that the yield will be on an average of 15 bushels to the acre. Mr. Donaldson of the big wheat farm is in St. Paul. A short time ago he felt pretty blue but now, since the rain, he says he would not thank any one to insure him twenty bushels to the acre. Railroad officers in St. Paul yesterday received a circular from the Northern Central Railway company, thatGeo. W. Boyd has been appointed assistant gene ral passenger agent of that road. The Chicago, St. Paul &. Omaha road will commence Monday to run trains to Ashland. They will leave Minneapolis at 7:30 and St. Paul at S:ls a. m. arriving at Ashland at G:3op. m. Tickets will be $7.

Contractor Winston says that the North ern Pacific road is finished seven miles from Missoula, and that he expects to cross the Big Blackfoot some time this week, beyond which he expects to lay two and a half miles of track per day. The junction will be made early in September at the mouth of the Little Blackfoot, where the Utah & Northern intersects the North ern Pacific. A dispatch from Missoula, Montana, dated the 16th inst., says that Col. Wash ington Dunn, a railroad contractor, was found dead in a Pullman sleeper last night en route to Portland.

Teasdale, of the royal route; Frank Chandler, general passenger agent of the Missouri Pacific railroad were present. The rates to Council Bluffs and Omaha were reduced thirty cents. This changes rates to all southwestern points, based on Council Bluffs. Rates were revised so that tickets can be purchased via Chicago and St. Louis for all points in Texas. 'A . E . Johnson, who for several years has been the emigrant agent of the St.Paul & Manitoba road, has resigned his posi tion. In 18G7 he was emigrant agent of the state of Minnesota with headquarters in Chicago, and subsequently he was the agent of the Cunard line, which he resigned in 1881 . His successor has not yet been named. Mr. Johnson has been a very active and energetic man in the position and has written and published in both the English and Scandinavian languages a very large amount of information, which has been the means of bringing an im mense number of his conntrymon to this land. Mr. G. K. Barnes, general passenger and ticket agent of the Northern Pacific, has isssued a circular to other railroads which says: "As the Northern Pacific will be completed about September 1, at which time it will be ready to receive through business destined to Washington, Oregon and the Pacific coast: in anticipation of same, you are requested to prepare and get in readiness to place on sale, when the opening of the Northern Pacific shall be announced, coupon tickets reading from St. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth to points given herein, which are arranged in proper order for Davis or other kinds of tickets." The circular then goes on to give particulars of how. they can make up their tickets. Grand Forks News: The surveyors of this line have at last reached Red Lake falls, after having been on the proposed route for five weeks. The new line is a more feasible one than at first anticipated, as the following from the Red Lake Mes senger will show: "After crossing the Crow Wing river near the Brainerd end they have met no difficulty whatever, going through a beautifuly rich country, and exceedingly favorable for road building, the curves being all easy and grades not exceeding at any point forty-five feet per mile, the total length from Brainerd to Red Lake falls being 135 miles. The route surveyed will in all probability be adopted as the permanent line, and it is probable that as soon as can be after the directors act on the chief engineer's report, active operations will begin. The line is located as far as the crossing of the Red Lake river, and the preliminary survey from that point to Grand Forks will probably be de layed until active operations on the main line are well under way. Tlie River. The City of St. Paul will arrive this morning, and will leave at 10 a. m. No County's Land . The county of Polk was originally laid out with Pembina coanty to the north of it with a bordering line running from Turtle river easterly. In 1878 Pembina county was changed to Kitteon, which was described to contain the north part of old Pembina, while the south part of old Pem bina county was changed into Marshall county. But the south line of Marshall county running between townships 154 and 155, waßa mile and a half north of the north line of Polk county running from Turtle river east. This left a strip of land of township 154 a mile and a half wide and from- eixty three to sixty-four miles long, which since old Pembina was absorbed in^the two counties above stated has been in no county whatever.^ A bill was passed by the last "ession of the legislature, the effect of which was tfc e permission to include this "no county's allegiance" within the boundaries of Mar ghall county, if the citizens should vote to accept the same at a special election. This special election was held a short time sinse and the people of Marshall coun ty voted 357 to Ito annex the township. A certified abstract of this vote was re ceived by Gov. Hubbard yesterday, asking that a proclamation be made that the boundary line be changed . On reference to the state constitution by Governor Hubbard and Secretary Denni son it was found that it requires that in order to change a boundary line of a coun ty its voters must consider the question at a general election. This, therefore, leaves township 154 out in the cold until next November, and it is suggested ,that it will be very convenient duelling and prize fighting ground up to the time the next snow Hies.

Camp Meeting in Progress— A Sample of the Work j.iml I'reacliinjr of the Great Evangelist Hammond. The camp meeting yesterday was the greatest in the progress of the meeting. The song service began at 10 a.m. Mr. Hammond handles a song service with wonderful sagacity. At 10:30 the regular service commenced. The sermon was characteristic, fuli of acting out illustra tions, intensly religious. The theme, gracious forgiving grace, accepting little children and turning none away who came to him in faith The 2:30 meeting was the best meet ing thus far. It was devoted to children and young people. At the altar service following the sermon several were con verted, and tears flowed freely. The speaker urged every one to pray. He wished all to be converted and go out to do valiant work for Christ. The question is how to reach the outstanding masses. There are many statuary Christ ians, dignified but of no use. They need melting as Cromwell melted tho statues of old. I subjoin a story giving an idea of the subject;matter of Mr. Hammond's ser mons, ' although the beauty is marred by not hearing him relate it: '•A little girl lived in a deep ravine at the foot of a mountain in Switzerland. A huge rock had fallen down the mountain side and lodged in the ravine thus making a natural bridge. The mother of the child was an earnest Christian and often told her daughter about Christ. She a'so told her that unless she came to him she would be. lost forever. Finally the mother's prayers were answered. Her little one felt that Christ alone could save her. God's spirit taught her that Jesus paid the debt and that he stood with out stretched arms ready to receive her; so she went to Jesus and trusted in him. Her father was not a Christian. One day when about to cross the rock bridge the mother saw that it was about ready to fall. The frost had loosened it. She told her little child that if she ever crossed it she would be dashed in pieces . The next day the father told his child that he was going over across the bridge. She said to him it was not safe, but he only laughed. When she saw that he was determined to go she begged to go with him. While they were walking along together she looked up in her father's face and said: "Father, if I should die will you promise to love Jesus and meet me in heaven? You are not going to die, don't speak of it, he said. But if I should die do promise to meet me in heaven. Yes! Yes! he said at last. When they came near the crossing place, she said: "Father, please stand here a minute." She loved him dearly and was willing to run the risk of dying for him. She started across and was crushed to death. The trembling parent crept to the edge and with eyes dim with tears, gazed wildly upon the wreck. He never loved his child so much, but he saw that he had much more reason to love Jesus, who had done so much to save him. You would say that he must be a very wicked man who does not love the memory of his chill. But is it not a thousand times worse for you not to love Him who has loved you so much more than the little one her father MAHTOMEDI LOCALS. A new boat house has been erected. The camp meeting will close next Thurs day. The number of residents at Mahtornedi has fully doubled within two days. Edward Pay son Hammond, the evangel ist, will remain at Mahtomedi over the Sabbath. Lsts at Mahtomedi are being sold daily. Miss Rosa Smith, of Decorah, a sister of Dr. Smith, is at Mahtomedi. The board of directors of the Mahtome di assembly grounds met yesterday in St. Paul. They resolved to push the interests of Mahtomedi to the full extent of their ability which is not limited. Opinion of Attorney General Hahn. In reply to a question by Prof. Kiehle asking if the employment of a teacher by a trustee and the clerk of a school district without any notice to the directors, and without the latter's holding a meeting and acting as a body upon the question, is legal, Gen. Hahn replies that it is not. He further 6tates, in his opinion, in sub stance, that by section 31 of the laws of Minnesota, relating to public schools, it ia provided that the board of trustees, "at a meeting called for that pur pose, shall hire a teacher." This, by necessary implication, precludes the idea of a valid hearing being made in any other manner. There must be a meeting, because it is the board and not the individ uals who compose it who are to hire, and it must be called for that purpose so that each and every member of the board may know that the performance of this very im portant public duty is the business to be considered and determined at such meet ing. Judgment and discretion are to be exercised in making the selection, and conference and comparison of judgment are necessary in order to reach a proper result. The act is in its nature judicial, and the general rule of law governing such bodies and from such positive requirement of statute, is that all meet or have notice to meet when official action is intended. It was clearly not the intention of the legislature to confer upon the individual members constituting the board of trus tees the power of acting separately in the selection and appointment of teachers. The intention was to have them act and confer together, the result|of their com bined judgment or of the majority of them constituting a legal act. liuiltling Societies Must Pay Taxes oi Tlieir Loams. Judge Brill rendered a decision yester day in the case of H. M. Rice, county treasurer vs. the St. Paul Mutual Building society No. 1. The suit was brought to collect the county tax on $108,830) which the society had loaned to its stock holders on May 1, 1881. The company resisted the payment chiefly on the ground that as the stockholders were at liberty to draw out their funds at will they were liable to have the sum reduced or all exhansted and that they should not be compelled to pay a tax on such an uncertain fund. Judge Brill decides against the building society onthe ground that they are incorporated for proht and should be taxed like all corporations conducted for profit. The judge regards any serious withdrawal of funds as too improbable to enter into consideration. The defense made the further point that in any event there should be $100 exempted for each stockholder. This too is overruled on the ground that the corporation and not the individual stockholder is the owner . Immigration Pabulnm. Secretary Young has issued the new eight page pamphlet of the state immigra tion board, which is headed, "The unde veloped northern counties of Minnesota in 1883." The counties embraced in this descriptive pamphlet are Cook, Lake, St. Louis, Itasca, Cass and Beltrami, which lie north of the Northern Pacific railway and east of the Red River valley. The area of land therein is placed at 14,477, --001.57 acres, and the area of water at 2,082,760.79 acres. The region for the greater part is a region of dense forests, thick undergrowth, lakes and streams and numerous marshes. Its geological features are asserted to show large deposits of iron, copper and silver ores,plumbago and other ores. The pamphlet treats also of building stones, lakes and streams, the climate, the soil, vegetable products, animals, birds and fish, the inhabitants, industries, agriculture, prospective rail roads, etc. It can be procured by applica tion to Mr. Young, by mail or otherwise. THE ILGES COURT MAIiTI.IL. Some Testimony Favorable to the Accused Adduced— The Adjournment Till Mon day. The court martial session of yesterday did not exceed an hour in length, although four witnesses were examined for the ac cused. After reading the minutes of Thursday, Col. Ilges filed with the judge advacate a written statement embracing the reasons why he desired the court to summon Gen. Rosser, paymaster general of the army at Washington. The court went into secret session on considering the colonel's re quest, and when again in open session, the judge advocate announced that the court had decided not to grant the request. Major Alfred E. Bates, witness for the prosecution, was then called for the de fense, and testified that he had been sta tioned in Washington since June 1, 1882, and that his duty as post paymaster was to pay the accounts of army officers. He was then asked to state,without giving names, if, in the discharge of his duties he had ever received the accouts of officers in da plicate or triplicate, and paid the same. Objection was made by the judge ad vocate, which objection was sustained by the court. Col. Ilges said he had no further ques tions to ask the witness . Major Wm. Smith was then called, to whom the same question was put by the accused. Objection was made by the prosecution, and sustained by the court. Lieut. Col. Gibson, a member of the court, was then sworn, and testified to his acquaintance with the accused, and to his general reputation as an officer and a gen tleman and his excellent record in the service, all of which was very favorable to Col. Ilges. Mr. Albert Scheffer was sworn for the defense, and testified that after refreshing his memory, and on investigation of his bank, he was positive the pay accounts of the colonel for August, November and December had never been sent to Wash ington for collection. That there was an expressed understanding between himself and Col . Ilges that these accounts were given as collateral security for the loan of $300 to Ilges, and that he was to hold them subject to redemption by Col. Ilges as soon as Ilges could obtain from the United States treasury $2,000 which was due him; that the money was loaned to Ilges irrespective of the face value of the pay accoants. He was satisfied that Col. Ilges did net intend to defraud him in any way, and that the reason the accounts were not redemed was owing to negligence and carelessness on the part of the colonel. The accounts had never been presented for payment in the sense and manner in which bank paper was "presented," and no effort had been made to collect them from the govern ment- The accused asked for a copy of the court proceedings thus far had,*which the court directed should be given him. The court then adjourned until Mond^v, July 23, at 11 a. m. Ashbukxeam, Mass., Jan. 14, 1880. I have been very sick over two years. They all gave me up as past cure. I tried the most skillful physicians, but they did not reach the worst part. The lungs andheaTt would fill up every night and distress me, and my throat was very bad.

It was voted to appropriate $400 to each of the forty nine high schools in the state. It -was shown also that the aggregate enrollment of the scholars in these schools was 2,252, of which the number taking the university perfecting course was 1,164 and the num ber of non-residents receiving tuition were 556. A NEW ULM EPISODE. Son- Senator Peterson Used Gov. Hubbard for an Advertisement. jMankato Review.] It seems that Gov. Hubbard and our fellow townsman, Capt. Burger, were specially honored on the occasion of their recent visit to New Ulm. They were guests of Col. Bobleter, and when received and escorted to the military camp, Senator Peterson shrewdly used the occasion, the governor and his honorable staff officers as a huge advertising dodge. The senator is engaged in the farming machine business, and to display the merits of a traction en gine of which he has the agency he im provised a special train to convey the hon ored guests to the camp. Following the engine, as we are informed, came two very rough looking farm wagons, then a single buggy in which rode our honored fellow-townsman, Capt. Burger, adorned in regimentals, re ceiving the tributes of an admiring popu lace, followed by the governor and his staff. The latter did not relish the idea of being used, a la Barnum, to advertise Sam Peterson wares, but being a candidate for re-election, and in view of the fact that the honorable Sam had repeatedly voted for him in the senatorial contest, he had to en dure it as patiently as his sense of pro priety and official dignity would permit. The valorous Burger enjoyed the ovation tendered him. It is said that some of the more intelligent citizens of New Ulm did not enjoy witnessing the prostration of the executive of the state to the uses of an ad vertising dodge, but generally the popu lace did not fathom the honorable Sam's shrewdness. STILLWATER GLOBULES. Thos. Buckley, drunk, paid the regular $7.50 into the police court yesterday morning. Sauntry &, Tozer, we are informed, will send up a paying crew to reap the harvest on Chicog. A man by the name of N. Austin was brought from up river yesterday, with his foot badly crushed. In the case of Gillespie ys. Matthews, the jury after being out about six hours failed to agree on a verdict. August Linderman, of the town of Wood bury, in this county, was yesterday ad judged insane, and was ordered to be sent to the asylum at St. Peter. On account of the washout oa the Omaha road west of Hudson bridge, all western bound trains were compelled to take the Stillwater &, River Falls road to this city in order to gain the main line at Stillwater Junction. A barn on a farm in the town of Afton k was struck by lightning during the storm of Friday night. The building was com pletely demolished. In addition three head of horses and one colt were killed and a large amount of hay destroyed with the building. About 4 o'clock yesterdaylafternoon, the dead body of an infant child, probably not over two or three days old, was discovered by a party of boys in the ravine four blocks back of the Pitman house, floating in the water. Chief Shortall was imme diately notified and repaired to the place, where upon examination the skull of the child was found to be crushed, bearing the mark of having been hit with some heavy instrument. By the appearance of the body it had been in the water for some time, as it was in a state of decomposition. The matter is now in the hands of Chief Shortall, which will no doubt be thoroughly investigated . DONTDIEIXTHEHOCSE. "Rough on Rats."'

I am willing that the law should in all ordinary cases take its course; but when we begin to dis cuss, the man who breaks into a conversa tion and ruins it with his own irrelevant ideas, regardless of the feelings of hu manity. I am not a law and order man. The spirit of tho "'Red Vigilanter" is roused in my breast, and I hunger for the blood of that man. Interrupters are of two classes: I. The common plug who thinks aloud and whose conversation wonders with his so-called miad. He breaks into the saddest and the sweetest of sentiment, and the choicest and most tearful of pathos, with the remorseless ignorance that marks a stump-tail cow in a dahlia bed. He is the bull in my china shop, the wormwood in my wine, and the kerosene in my maple syrup. lam shy in conversation, and my unfettered flights of posey and sentiment are rare, but this man is almost always near to mar it all with a remark, or a story or a bit of politics, ready to bust my beautiful dream and make me wish that his name might be carved on a marble slab in some quiet cemetery, far, far away. Deae reader, did you ever meet this man — or his wife 'i Did you ever strike some beautiful thought and begin to read it off to your friends, only to be shut off in the middle of a sentence by this choice and banner idiot of civilization? If so, come and sit hy me, and you may pour your woes into my ear, and I in turn will pour a few gallons into your listening ear. I do not care to talk more than my share of the time, but I would be glad to arrive at a conclusion just to see how it would seem. I would be so pleased and so joy ous to follow up an anecdote till I had reached the "hub," as it were, to chase ar gument home to your conviction, and to clinch assertion with authority and evi dence. The second class of interrupters is even worse. It consists of the man — and, lam pained to state, his wife also — who see the general drift of your remarks and finish out your story, your gem of thought or your argument. It is very seldom that they do this as you would do it yourself, but they are kind and thoughtful, and their services are always at hand. No matter how busy they may be, they will leave their own work to fly to your aid. With the light of sympathy in their eyes they rush into the conversation, and, partaking of their own zeal, they take the words from your mouth and cheer fully suck the juice out of your joke, handing back the rind and hoping for re ward. That is where they get left so far as lam concerned . lam almost always ready to repay rudeness and cold preserv ed gall with such acrid sarcasm a3 I may be able to secure at the moment. No one will ever know how I yearn for the blood of an interrupter. At night I camp on his trail, and all the day I thirst for his warm life current. In my dreams I am cutting his scalp loose with a case knife, while my fingers are twined in his clustering hair. I walk over him and promenade across his abdomen as I slumber. I hear hi? rib crack, and I see his tongue hang over his shoulder as he smiles death's mirthful smile. Arthur's Heroic Self-Saerifiee. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] "Half a dozen girls and their ambitions mothers have believed they had fairly "bagged' Mr. Arthur, when in fact he never thought the second time about them. I know of some very funny things growing out of this sort of fancy. I will tell you one. Last winter there was a very pretty girl here from the principal city of a great western state, and she was presented to the president. Of course he was polite, as he always is, and she immediately thought she 'had' him. Her knowledge of the world was extremely superficial, and her mother has very little sense or knowledge of t'ae usages of the best society. She boasted of her daughter's con quest to her acquaintances, and finally the story was telegraphed to a western paper. A friend of the president saw the dispatch and showed it to him . That evening there was something going on at the White house. Our flamboyant child of the Occident was there, clothed in her radient loveliness and a perfectly fitting gown from Pingot's, and she was very pretty. She had intimated to about twen ty friends that she ment to parade her captive. So, with an air of assurance born of her coarse-vaDity. she endeavored to monopolize him. But, to her utter amazement, she could not get into the circle of intimes at all. He barely looked at her. did not ask her to promenade, and when supper came took down a Vir ginia cousin of his late wife, who was neither young nor pretty, and had never heard of Pingot. The girl went home crying with mortification and rage, and Mr. Arthur was never polite to her again. "Well, but is the president a marrying man?" I asked. "No, I think not. If he had cared to he might have married an immense fortune before this. There is a lady in New York, the widow of a man five times a million aire. She is not over thirty, and one of the handsomest women in America. She would be very glad to marry him, I know, and at one time I thought he meant some- ' thing by his attentions in that quarter.

The following is an abstract of the spe cial report of Mr. Burchard, director of the mint, upou the production of the precious metals in the United States, which was ordered to bo printed by the last congress. The yield of the mines of the United States for 1882 wa3 $32,500,000 in gold, $46,800,000 in silver; a total of $79,300,000. Compared with the previous year, this shows a decline of $2,200,000 of gold and an increase of $3,800,000 of silver. The comparative decline in the production of gold was greater in Cal ifornia than in any other state or terri tory — the yield being $1,406,000 less than in 1881. This resulted from the interrup tion of hydraulic mining in some of the northern and middle counties, owing to litigation, and also from the falling off in the production of the quartz mines at Bodie. In Oregon, where the mining is chiefly placer, there was a diminution, and also in Nevada, Idaho and Dakota. In sil ver the principal increase was in Idaho, Montana and New Mexico — Idaho showing an increase of $700,000, Montana $1,740, --000, and New Mexico $1,500, Colorado furnished about $600,000 less silver than in ISSI . Of the bullion production of the country, $309,74,958 of gold and $31,400, --782 of silver were deposited at the mints and assay offices for coinage, or return in bars to depositors. Of the deposits of gold $5,000,000 was paid in bars for man ufacturing purposes, and the remainder went into coinage; $1,400,000 was furnish ed by private refineries for manufactur ers' use, and there was an export of $175. --000 in silver bars. Of the total silver production, $15,750, --000 was exported— ss,994,ooo furnished by the mints and assay offices to manufac turers, $350,000 by private refineries for the same purpose, and $24,70u,000 was used in coinage. The production of the coutry was from the states and terri tories as follows: Gold Saver Alaska $150,000 Arizona 1,065,000 $7,500,000 California 16,800,000 845,000 Colorado 3,360.000 16,500,000 Dakota 3,300,000 175.000 Georgia 250,000 ....

[Augusta (Ga. ) Chronicle.] Years ago an uncle of Gen. Butler was senator from South Carolina. He then did sonic favor to the Hon. Simon Cameron which the latter never failed to remember. When Gen. M. C. Butler presented his credentials as a senator from South Caro lina, the Hon. Simon Cameron notified, it is said, his son and successor, Donald, that the time had come for returning the ob ligation of a former period. Had Don Cameron been a mere partisan he wonld have very likely prevented Gen. Butler from securing his seat. But the son had as keen a sense of honor as the father had, and with a courage that was as admirable as the gratitude was rare, he literally rose above faction and played the part of a heroic gentleman. From that time forth Senators Cameron and Butler have been warm friends, and it is within tho writer's knowledge that the at tachment is founded upon something much more ideal than a mere reciprocity of obli gation . Senator Cameron admires Sena tor Butler, and has on numerous ©ccasions, found that he was a friend to count on. It is the custom for senators to pair with each other indefinitely if necessary. Sen ator Butler does exactly right in so pairing with Senator Cameron, just as Senator Frye paired for many months with Sena tor Ben Hill when the senate was much more closely divided than it may be next December. No man of sense or honor will object to Senator Butler's action. We are satisfied that southern Democrats will commend him for it. Barring his poli tics, Senator Cameron is a man cordially liked by Democratic senators and ready to respond (o them in all proper ways. It will, therefore, be seen that Senator Butler has no reason to be harshly criticised for this intimacy, and that he is perfectly right, in an amicable and parliamentary sense, in pairing with the Pennsylvanian, just as long as any necessity exists for such action. Webster's financiering. Daniel Webster's financiering is the subject of many anecdotes at Washington, and one of them thus describes how he one day assisted his friend Rufus Choate. Choate needed §500 and he applied to Mr. Webster. "Five hundred dollars'." says Webster. "No, I haven't that amount, but I will get it for you, Choate." The latter was glad to hear it and would wait. ' ; Draw your note," said Webster, "I'll sign it and bring you the money. While you are about it make the note for a thousand; a thou sand is as easy to get as live hundred." Choate said that five hundred was all he needed. 'Til take the other five hundred," said Webster. The note was drawn and Mr. Webster, taking his cane, went into the avenue. "Good morning, Mr. Cor coran, good morning," said he, as he entered the great banking house which was the fiscal agent of the government. "Good morning, Mr. Secretary," said the great banker in the blandest manner, "what is it I can do for you this morning, Mr. Secretary?" Mr. Webster was secretary of state at the time. "A little favor for my friend Choate. He wants a little money, and I told him I thought I could get it for him. A thousand, I believe he made bis note for," passing the paper to the banker . There was no such thing as hesitating, much less declining, and so the banker was only happy to accommodate the head of Mr. Fillmore's administration. The gold was laid out in two equal piles at Mr. Webster's request. Putting one in each pocket, and with one of the bows which only Mr. Webster could give, he departed. "Here, Choate, here is the five hundred," said the great expounder, enter ing where Choate was waiting. Handing him the gold Mr. Webster resumed his reading where he had been interrupted by Choate's entrance. It is further stated that Mr. Corcoran has in his collection of auto graphs a note for $1,000 signed by Rufus Choate and indorsed by Daniel Webster. An Actual Outcast. This is Henry Watterson's picture of Rutherford B. Hayes : " But he happened to be a very small man. He coveted the poor glory of the presidency. _ He wanted the salary, and when he got in he improvised a temper ance movement to cut off the wine bills and save expenses. Out of the $200,000 he received during his four years of service, he carried back to Ohio $150,000 . In office, be rewarded all the thieves who got him the place. Therefore, out of office, he is an object of contempt. He is a nobody. Though he was four yearß president of the United States, no self -respecting body, po litical, religious, educational or military, could afford to make him its figure-head. He is reduced for his recognition as a man, though yet on the sunny sido of sixty, to harvest homes and base ball clubs— actual outcast." An Atlanta chemist has been analyzing five or six of the popular brands of patent flour sold in that city. He finds that they all contain talc, or some other foreign substance, in proportion of one-fourth to one-third. Thus a barrel of this alleged fine flour consists of sixty-five pounds of talc and but 131 pounds of the bona ride article. LEGAL. : QTATE OF MINNESOTA— COUNTY OF RAMSEY lO— ss.
