TREASURED RELICS.
Heirlooms and Curiosities
Owned by People of St.

REASURES,although
in many cases old,
crude ahd worn, can
generally be identified
from the balance of
the furniture and sur
roundings which go
to make up a well ap
pointed and cosy
home. The peculiar
air circulating about
the precincts of some
thing rare and old,
something that has
probably come down from one's fore
fathers, so far back in the past that -a
natural pride finds sentiment in the ,
telling of the story of the old relic, or
oft repented study of the thing itself; \
and if it be yet serviceable— conso- i
lation and satisfaction that comes to
one while using, that he or she is the
proud possessor of something rare
something with a history, which, when
once told, at once excites a covetous re
gard for the object— whatever it may
be. Many have such relics, and it is
natural to nut an old worn out and
apparently "dilapidated clock or a
cracked and scarred mirror in the most
conspicuous place in the room for their
display. It may be a hobby to regard
that which is aged, odd ahd mysterious
with a sort of reverence. Yet it de
lights the possessor to have something
antique merely for the love of owner
ship. Or it may have been obtained in
some romantic way, and it therefore
brings back memories either pleasant or
painful. It's an heirloom, we'll say.
Your groat, great grandfather used to
do so and so with it, or your mother's
uncle's brothers half sister's child
used to play with it; or some great
member of your ancestry who might
have distinguished himself, has had a
hand in endowing the treasured object
with its worth ; therefore, or for a world
of other reasons you hold as precious a
thing which intrinsically is not worth
the room it occupies- but which as a
sequence of its existence has by years
or circumstance gathered about its bulk
the moss of great estimation.
There are a great many such objects
bo prized in many homes in St. Paul.
Gen. Sibley has an almost limitless col
lection. During his battles with the red
skins in 180:2-8 he gathered a great many
relics of all sorts and descriptions. An
Indian's skull, said to belong to a noted
chief of a warlike tribe; an old musket,
whose murderous muzzle has vomited
forth the dose which sent many a red
devil to his haunts in the happy hunt
ing grounds, and old and antiquated
furniture, which was brought here long
before the people knew what
MANUFACTURED FURNITURE WAS I.IKE.
When this state was yet a part of
Wisconsin Gen. Sibley was the first
white settler in it, and he brought with
him such things from the East, where
the light of civilization had dawned
upon man long before it lit up the hori
zon of Minnesota, which fairly "startled
the natives,'.' who were then nothing
but savages. In the line of Indian curi
osities and crude contrivances for hut
furnishings, Gen. Sibley has a great
deal, and many thrilling stories he tells
concerning them.
An old Waterbury clock, brought to
St. Paul in 1843 by Henry Jackson -an
old settler, after whom Jackson street
was named— and now taking life (if such
It has) easy in the State Historical soci
ety, was the first clock ever brought to
St. Paul. When Mr. Jackson came to
St. Paul, bringing with him this clock,
after which all the balky watches in the
town were regularly set every Satur
day night, there were but few houses,
if such they can be called, here. Hon.
Henry M. Rice tells how the old pio
neers used to congregate about Mr.
Jackson's "store, hotel and general
trading house," on lower Jackson
street, immediately back of the Fire &
Marine building. Here the old clock j
used to occupy a permanent position i
on a shelf just over the counter. It was
the clock which regulated the session of j
the first political meetings of the city,
when ardent politicians had, as an old
timer said, their minds in politics, their ;
right eyes watching for Indians and
their left upon the grinning and ever
good-natured and fairly truthful dial.
In 1800 Mr. Jackson moved to Mankato
and took the clock with him, where it
enjoyed a long and undisturbed vaca
tion. When Mr. Jackson died bis wife,
now Mrs. Angelina Hinckley, and who
is still living at Mankato, presented it
to the State Historical society, where
the librarian. C. Fletcher Williams, has
held watch over its "remains" ever since
The style of the clock is that of a flat
fruit box, perfectly square corners,
about twenty-six inches high by four
teen wide. The dial covers about half
of the front, and an attempt at a picture
Just beneath. The door is hung like
that of a barn, and the hands are appar
ently those of a hard-working man, be
ing hard, crude and horny. The pendu
lum hangs drowsily upon a wire rod not
quite so thick as a cane, -and is about
the size of a small saucer. In fact it is
a very modest and old-fashioned time
piece that has performed its contract of
of life and is now. and should be, on the
the retired list.
.Another arrangement of murderous
mien and civilizing influence is that
which Cap). Ed S. Bean presented to
the Historical society, a few years ago.
An old flint-lock gun— or rather cannon,
with a history. The heartless old war
rior, with its very rusty barrel, was
made in 1250, during the Mahammedau
era. The lock, which occupies a space
in the air about a foot square, is made
of thick iron, and bears the name of the
maker and where made in Arabic char
acters. * The stock weighs about six
pounds, and the lock and barrel about
ten, making the
WEIGHT OF THE ANNIHILATOK
about sixteen or seventeen pounds.
Now here is where its history becomes
interesting. The notorious Moorish
Mediterranean pirate Abd-el-kader,who
stormed about the the sea creating
havoc wherever he went, it is said, was
once the owner of this gun. If so, it
can be accredited or charged with the
lives of any number of mortals, since
the pirate raged in his depredations and
murder for a long time between 1810
and 1830 without being captured. It
was presented to Capt. Bean by the
vice consul at Tangiers, Morocco, who
in a letter to the captain expressed his
sincere belief in the authenticity of its
Liistorv.
Another old crusty, but highly prized
firearm is that now owned by Charles
W. Post, the artist. It was made dur
ing the time of Charles Edward Stuart,
17-0-1783, and went through the Revo
lutionary war -with Mr. Post's great
great grandfather, David Post. It was
also at Valley Forge with Gen. Wash
ington. It measures five feet in length.
has the old flint lock and carries a ball
about the size of a small turnip. It was
generally fired from the side of the hip
—the shoulder aim of to-day being
wholly incompatible with the wonder
ful kicking qualities of the affair— the
force of which can be better imagined
from the * fact that it once broke the
clavicle of a man who once attempted
to shoot it from his shoulder.
- Charles E. Mayo, formerly of Mayo &
Clark, wholesale hardware merchants
on lower Third street, has a dignified
and good natured old ..clock which- has

Joseph Charles j carries a coffee wood
cane which has come down to him from*
his ancestors over .a y hundred years
back. It originally came from 'India,
and is as serviceable now as it was a

a great .many, family relics and heir
looms. Mrs. Elfelt has some furniture
which is about . eighty years old, and

MRS. BENJAMIN HARRISON.
The Lady Who Is About to Occupy the
White House.
THE STORY OF HER LIFE.
Wives of the Presidents Who Have Pre-
sided Over the Executive Mansion
in the Past.
The oldest couple to enter the execu
tive mansion as president and presid
ing lady were the grandparents of the
distinguished citizen who will enter the
same high office on March 4 next, or
lacking but two years of an even half
century after. . William Henry Harri
son, the ninth president of the United
States, was just sixty-eight years of age
when he embarked in the high office to
which be had been chosen by the
Whigs. His wife, Anna Symes Harri
son, a native of New Jersey, was two
years younger. While tho most ad
vanced in the allotment of years, his
demise took place in the infancy of his
exalted career after, one month's resi
dence in the executive mansion.
■X *
The youngest person to enter the
office of president was U. S. Grant, at
forty-seven, and the youngest wife was
Frances Folsom Cleveland, at twenty
two, the bride of the White house. The
youngest presiding lady of the man
sion was Elizabeth Tyler Waller, at
nineteen, daughter of John Tyler, Pres
ident Harrison's successor, and the first
vice to come into possession of the office
to which he was constitutional heir pre
sumptive.
# *
The prospective president, when he
enters the office to which he has been
chosen, will be about midway between
the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth year of his
life, or about the "age of Martin Van
Buren, Zachary Taylor and Rutherford
B. Hayes. Mrs. Harrison will enter
the executive mansion as presiding
lady at about the age of Abigail Smith
Adams, wife of the second, and Eliza
McArdie Johnson, wife of the seveu_j
teenlh president of the United States..!
_^ 7-
Since Mrs. Washington inaugurated
the social regime of the president's
household at New York, then the capi
tal, there have been thirty-two presiding
ladies. Eighteen ot these were the
wives of the presidents— Mrs. Washing
ton, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. Madison, Mrs.
Monroe, Mrs. J. Q. Adams, Mrs. Harri
son, Mrs. Letitia Christian Tyler, who
died while her husband was in office;
and Mrs. Julia Gardner Tyler, who
married the president in New York
when she was* but a year more
than the age of Mrs. Cleveland;
Mrs. Polk, Mrs. Taylor, Mrs. Fillmore,
Mrs. Pierce, Mrs. Lincoln, Mrs. John
son, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Gar
field and Mrs. Cleveland, The remain
ing fourteen presiding ladies were:
Jefferson's daughter, Martha Jefferson
Randolph, or, when absent, Mrs. Secre
tary of State Madison; Mrs. Emily
Donelson, wife of President Jackson's
private secretary, and Sara Yorke Jack
son, wife of his foster son; Angelica
Singleton Van Buren. the wife of the
president's son and private secretary;
Elizabeth Tyler Waller, the president's
daughter, and Mrs. Cooper Tyler, his
son's wife; Elizabeth Taylor Bliss, a
married daughter of President Taylor;
Mary Abigail Fillmore, a daughter of
President Fillmore; Harriet Lane, the
niece of James Buchanan ; Mrs. Martha
Johnson Patterson and Mary Johnson
Stover, married daughters of President
Johnson; Mary Arthur McElroy and
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, sisters of the
last two presidents. ryy
*
Mrs. Harrison's experience in politi
co-social affairs has been confined to
six years' residence at Washington as
the wife of a senator, but during that
time in that distinguished circle of rep
resentative men and women of the
states she formed acquaintances and
friendships which now, in her prospect
ive elevation to the place of supreme
rank in the social world, are recalled
with pride and pleasure by those who
still mingle in public affairs and society
at the capital. y y ? v
The marriage of Benjamin Harrison
and Miss Carrie L. Scott took place In
1853, when the former was just twenty
years of age. Her father was then
president of the Oxford Female college,
at which town she was born. Young
Harrison met her while a student at the
same place. They began their married
life at North Bend, O.^the site of the
family homestead for two generations,
but a year later they started afresh for
themselves at Indianapolis. Here they
began life in a small way. Young Har
rison was not long in making a start in
the practice of his profession, and the
new household was soon cheered with
tho presence of a hoy, now grown to
man's estate and an influential citizen
of the prospective commonwealth of
Montana. Two years later a daughter,
Mary Scott, added to the joys :of the
home of the risng lawyer of Indiana.
_■**___
■With Mrs. Harrison will not only be
her interesting daughter, but the wife
of her son, Russel B. Harrison, who is
well known as one of the belles of the
senatorial circle when her father.
Senator Saunders, represented the
state of Nebraska in the ambas
sadorial branch of the national congress.
These three ladies— mother, daughter
and daughter-in-law— all trained in the
social methods of the highest circle of
official social life next to that of the ex
ecutive mansion, will make an interest
ing and entertaining group of ladies to
do the honors of the president's social
surroundings for the next four years.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 2, 1888.— TWENTY PAGES.
JONES LOST HIS WAY.
Unable to Find Wheeler, He
Cultivates Mr. Manhattan
Cocktail.
It Was a Long Journey to
Zig-Zag Street With Drinks
Between.
Every Time He Drank Things
Looked Different, You
Know.
A Night When the Air Was
Full of Angostura
Bitters.
Johu Demorest Jones is a man of so
modest and retiring. a disposition that
he can not even soliliquize without
apologizing for obtruding his remarks
upon his own attention. Besides this
modesty he also poossesses some other
virtues which are very rare in this
world, among them being temperance
of the strictest sort. Remembering
these peculiarities the reader will un
derstand that no ordinary influence in
duced Mr. Jones, on a recent evening,
to invade nearly all the saloons within
a mile of his house, and to return with
nineteen Manhattan cocktails, and
every indication of hopeless inebriety.
Mr. Jones has recently moved to No.
1175 Zig-Zag avenue, St. Paul. He had
no previous acquaintance with the city,
but he knew Henry Wilson Wheeler,
who lived in the city. On the evening
referred to he started to make a call
upon Mr. Wheeler, and the result shows
how many snares lie in the path of inno
cence in a great city, crooked city.
Mr. Jones knew that his friend's ad
dress was No. 75 Zig-Zag street. He
was not aware, however, that in St.
Paul the street and avenue of the same
name have no connection with each
other, but, on the contrary, run where
they please, and stop when they get
tired. He Supposed that Zig-Zag street
must be . near Zig-Zag avenue, but he
could not find it, so he asked a police
man to direct him.
MANHATTAN COCKTAIL IS WHAT YOU
WANT.
"I don't be on this beat very long."
said the policeman, "an' I dunno no
such street. You better ask on the
corner beyant." .-"-
When Mr. Jones reached the corner
indicated he perceived that it was
cupied by a saloon. So were all the
other corners in sight. It is a pecul
iarity of St. Paul. : Mr. Jones had never
been in a saloon in his life, and did
not know the etiquette of such places.
He had an indistinct notion that it
would be necessary to "set 'em up" for
the boys, or at least to purchase some
thing for himself. He decided that the
latter would be no more than fair as a
return for the information he sought.
"I can get something that isn't intoxi
cating," he reflected. So he entered the
nearest saloon, and was immediately
confronted by a barkeeper who was
nearly seven feet high, and a sign which
read: "Try Onr Manhattan Cocktails*"
Mr. Jones was a small, slender man and
timid, as has already been said. He telt
overpowered by the commanding pres
ence of the barkeeper,and so he meekly
asked if Manhattan was the name of a
liquor.
"Never heard of no such liquor," said
the barkeeper.
"Is it wine?" said Mr. Jones.
"Naw," said the giant.
"In that case you may give me one of
your Manhattan cocktails, and will you
please tell me the way to Zig-Zag
street?"
"Know anybody on Zig-Zag street?"
said the barkeeper with that easy famil
iarity which had made him so popular
in the ward.
"I am looking for Mr. .Henry Wilson
Wheelson," said Mr. Jones. .
"Dunno him. Take Jay streetcars."
and the barkeeper set the cocktail be
fore his customer. Mr. Jones drank it
hurriedly, and then put out the tire in
his throat with a large glass ot water.
"It— it tastes a little strong," said he.
"Now, looker here— you be
givin' me any guff about tier cocktail.
Reckon 1 made 'em before you was
born, and I'll bemakin"em after you're
dead if you keep on bein' so fresh."
Mr. Jones hastily withdrew in so
great confusion that the forgot the
directions in regard to the cars.
THE WAT THE LAMP POST APPEARED
"TO .MR. JONES AFTER . HIS (mC)
NINETEENTH COCKTAIL. -4jfflg
Jones drank the preparation.
"Now, what do you call that?" he
asked.
"It's a Manhattan cocktail, and you
can't get a better
"Jones fled. When he got out into
the cool air he ' felt better, but he re
membered that he had not yet discov
ered his way. An inspiration came to
him: he would ask tor some sarsaparilla.
He dodged into the third saloon as hur
riedly as possible, for he 1 began to fear
that some of his neighbors might see
him and get erroneous ideas of his hab
its. Inside . the ' place the - hot air con
fused him, but he managed to ask for
the sarsaparilla. The barkeeper set out
a flat glass with a tall, thin stem. Jones
swallowed the contents mechanically. ;■
"Here! what in thunder are you do
ing?" yelled a man on his right. "You've
gone and "drunk "my /Manhattan cock
tail." .-. ■&?: .■ ' y •"..". -,: '■'■■' -yy
"Goodness! that's unfortunate,'" said
he to himself.* "I'm afraid I shall have
to go into another of those ' horrid*; sa
loon's.l'; .' y ' ; *
*He turned the corner hastily, and in
his .embarrassment ;■ entered the side
door of the very saloon .-■ he - had . so '- re
cently left. When his 'eyes 'rested "on
the black-browed giant behind the bar,
he nearly fainted away. The barkeeper
held him with his eye. ■-. '<-".•
■ 1 "Come - back '■: after • another cocktail
quick, have yer?" said he. "That's all
right, me boy; I knew. you'd ; like; it as
soon as it began to ■ take : hold of '■ your
.vitals.":- /..- •' " -■-..-.--' .:■''■'. .•-• i;
•7 "1 beg your pardon " began Jones.
"Don't do : nothlu' of the sort," sala
the barkeeper. "Here's your cocktail;
down with it." [j
Jones put it down. • .-, ■.-,-* . . j
"I'll make another if you say so," said
the barkeeper. y . , I
Jones hastily escaped to avoid such a
catastrophe,* and he had not yet learned
the way to Zig-Zag street. He began to
feel queer. -.■'.'.'....; ":y /- \\. -..'..; .--' C!
"1 - believe I'll go over to the other
corner and try again," said ' he. So .he
walked : across the street and entered
the X saloon. The ;- man in . charge waa
very polite and ; gentle in his manners,
and Jones resolved to confide in him. j
"I'm not feeling very well." said he,
"Now, you must have something here
that you give people when they're that
way. Sort of shaky, dizzy, you know."
"Certainly, sir; here you are," said
the barkeeper. ;/*- yyTyyy'yy "yy /-.■ "."' j
"AM I A MAN OR AM I A MOUSE?"
Jones was nearly speechless. The
barkeeper laughed,;
"You'll have to have another one all
round," said he. Before Jones knew it
there was another Manhattan cocktail
in front of him. He rolled up his eyes
to a sign over the bar which read:
"Every time you drink things look dif
ferent." He hoped it was true. Things
had begun to look very misty to him.
There was also a kink in his tongue,
but he felt a great desire to talk.
"Lemme me 'splaln the matter," said
he. "I started out' to call my frien'
Henry Wi'son Wheeler— lives on Zig-
Zag street— couldn't find Mizzur
Wheeler, i Could't find Zig-Zag street.
Found lots of Manhattan cocktails.
Seems to be quite popular 'round here."
Everybody laughed.and Jones thought
he must have made a joke. He felt so
good-natured that he diank the other
cocktail. It made him more loquacious.
."Name is Jones," he said, "John
Demijohn— no, Demorest— Jones. Live
at 75 Zig-Zag street— that's Mizzur
Wheeler. Forgotten where I live, but
it's somewhere round here. Goo-night,
boys."
"if you want to get to Zig-Zag street
take the Jay street cars," somebody
called after him. Out in the street it
occurred to him that he could find out
something from the lamp post. He
braced himself on a hydrant and looked
up. vv There appeared to be several
shadowy lamp-posts revolving round
and round. *f
"Never saw lamp post like that be
fore," said Jones to himself. "Whazzer
use so many lights all running roun'
tha' way. Why don' they have one
light an' make it keep still? . Know I
saw Jay street on one of 'em. I'll wait
till it comes roun! again. ": There: thaz
right. Only one lamp post now. .. Stan'
still there; funny thing, this Maiiha'n
cocktail. Can read both sides this lamp
post at once; read more letters than I
ever saw on a lamp post 'fore, but they.
don' make sense. There she goes rounl'
again, 'half dozen of 'em now. 'S no
use. Nuzzer s'loon; one more left.
Have to try that." ;\-y
He tumbled into it. ..
i
«'l
\l
Hi
s.
s.
P^'You tell me where Mizzur Henry
Manhattan Cocktail lives?" he inquired.
"I been lookin' for 'im all night."
"Lives here; finest in the city," said
the barkeeper. "Here you are, sir,"
and he set out a cocktail.
" '£> no use kicking "gainst fate,"
said Jones. "'S cocktails ev'rywhere's
to-night. Air's full of 'em."
"You asked for one," said the bar
keeper.
"No, didn't," said Jones. "Asked
for Henry Demijohn Jones. Lives on
Zig-Zag avenue; 1175; my name's
Wheeler. Know him?"
"No, 1 don't, but there's a policeman
outside who'll tell you.
" 'S'll right. I'll go and ask him." _'.
• He opened the door and fell into the
arms of the policeman.
"Where are you going to?" asked the
guardian of the peace.
"Tryin' to fin' Mizzer John Henry
Whizzin' Jones. Lives 1175 Zig-Zag-Jag
avenue. Know 'im?"
"There's a man just moved into No.
1175. I'll take you up there."
, He did so, and deposited Jones on his
own doorstep.
" all right," said Jones. "Know
the house? Here's fi'-doliar note. Go'n
get a Manh'an cocktail. Plenty of 'em
all roun' here."
The policeman withdrew. Jones
grabbed* the bell and pulled it out.
Then he sat down on the steps with the
bell knob in his hand. - ■
"Nice bell, this," he said. "Handy
bell. Man can sit down if ye's tired
and ring it just the same."
Then he hung his hat up on his foot.
It slipped off. He grabbed it and pulled
it half way up to his knee.
" Reckon you'll stay that < way,' he
said. "Hullo! ; Somobody comin'.
Must be Mrs. Manh'an ." -
Mrs. Jones opened the deor. The fig
ure on the steps bore no resemblance of
her sober and industrious husband.
- "What do you want here?" she in
quired.
" 'S Mizzur John Demijohn Dcmi
jones live here?"
"No!"
" 'S Mizzur Henry Whizziu' Whizzer
live here?"
' "No! ! 1" •
" 'S Mizzur Manh'an .Cocktail live
here?" . g
And she slammed the door. sr
'"S'all right." said Jones. • "Give it
(hie) up. . Can't go lookin' for him
all night. I'll just siddown here an'
wait till ono of 'em calls to take me ..
home."
Thereupon he went to sleep, and
when the milkman arrived he waked
Mr. Jones by dropping cold cream down
his neck. He was admitted by the rear
door, and I am told that he made a full
confession to Mrs. Jones. He said, in
fact, that it was the .fullest confession
he ever saw, for the Manhattan cock
tails clung to his brain for several days
afterward. . y • "
