MIR. SOULE.-The augurles are against the
supposition that Mr.. Soule will find himself
pleasantly situated in the Court of Queen Isa-
bella His appointment to Madrid is very dis
tasteful to the people of Havana. They say
he will be watched as spy or an enemy, even
should he be received. The Cuban official Ga
zette declares:
"At the first word that the new representative
of the United States in Madrid may utter res
pecting negotiations for the purchase of the
island of Cuba, and the energetic GOODNESS of
the repulse he will receive, he would acquire
the conviction of how wild and visionary such
project is. The unanimity of sentiment in
this country is, in this matter, amazing, and if
any public man of Spain should be even want
ing in national instinct-a pure impossibilty-
his own self respect, and rgard for his name
and existence, would prevent his giving pub
llclty to his weakness Interest and honor
which weigh still heavier in the balance-dic-
tate to US to defend resolutely the integrity of
our territory"
SPLENDID LIVERY SToCK.--During the week.
Mr. Pattison, of the firm of Pattison e. Benson,
has arrived with new stock of horses and car
riages for their st. Paul establishment There
is no use talking. We have better horses, car
riages and coaches, better men to manage and
drive them, and better roads (barring the streets
of st. Paul. than can be found above ST. Lou
is. The late arrival comprises some of the hos
scs as are bosses, animals that would set an
admirer of horse-fesh and a lover of the useful
beast, half frantic to look at-real 90 ahead,
two-forty fellows, that will trot to st. Anthony
and back ahead of locomotive, and never
mOisten a hair or blow short breath. Their
buggies are well matched to the livestock
| light, strong, neat and highly fnished-ft for
kings and queens to take a scat in. No difficult
ty in getting about over Minnesota this summer,
comfortably, safely and pleasantly. All the
girls will now have to enjoy ride in Benson's
new buggics; and the mice Young men, may
as we'll be hunting among their small change,
for the extra gold dollars. We learned long
ago, there is no getting around these things.
- Our lady readers will not fail to notice the
Card of Mrs. Stoakes Mrs. S., is the pioneer
in her line of business in ST. Paul, and no one
engaged in any kind of trade here, has given
more universal satisfaction to their customers
than she. Her establishment has donncd the
real city appearance; and that one thing near
too. of the best and latest style, can be had
here at home as well as by sending to st. Louis
or Galcna.
w. B. White, Esq, Librarian, and Hon. l..
\. Babcock, Attorney General, promptly ten
dercd the resignation of their respective off

Look OUT FOR THE Iron HORSE Sec notice
for opening books for subscription to the stock
of the st. Paul and St. Anthony Railroad. This
road must be put through--it will be.
- An uptown lady-one who practically
and eXperimentally knows all about such things
Informed us, the other evening that the con-
tnual talk heretofore among people residing in
that part of St. Paul, that all kinds of goods
were sold at higher prices there than at the
lower end, is all talk, and nothing else. She
further remarked, that the Elfelts, since the
arrival of their splendid and extensive new
stock-which is replenishcd by almost every
boat-sell at rates quite beyond affording cause
OF complaint by any man or woman having a
particle OF reason about them. This informal
ton, coming from the responsible and intelli-
gent source it did, we are bound to believe to
the fullest extent, and have made note of"
accordingly, for the benefit of our uptown
neighbors, and the public generally.
- Our old FRIEND Barney Rogers, again
shows his pleasant face behind his own counter.
at the corner of Roberts and Third Streets. lie
has well-sclected stock of family groceries
and provisions. Barney is one of the fathers of
st. Paul-having been here from the start-a
sort of indispensable stand-by,--and we hope
ne will not be forgotten in his new vocation
- Blum, of the New York Bazaar, can 20 to
New York quicker buy goods and return, and
sell them out sooner, than almost any one we
know of. He was back by the West Newton,
Wednesday night,--not having been away
scarcely long enough to be missed about town.
He is now removing to his elegant new store
on st. Anthony Street, near the Rice House.
where his large and splendid stock will he dis

in the rear of Chamblin' son Third street, where
those wishing to dispose of stock, will find com-
Portable quarters and accommodating terms.
Such an establishment was much wanted in St.
Paul.
~ The Den Campbell, on Sunday. brought
up the largest load of the season-some four or
five hundred tons-mostly on Government ac-
