Lions Chasing an Ass.

We are somewhat surprised that our brctli-
rem of the St. Paul press have deemed it their
duty to get down upon level with the brandy
and-t tobacco man of the New York Times. We
promised the other day to attend to his case,
but other matters of much more Importance
have crowded upon us so thickly, that we have
not heretofore found time to take the subject in
hand. II is now an old thing, and the Mime
sotian has no particular desire to join, at the
eleventh hour in the chase of the lions after
the ass. We will, however, subscribe our share
towards furnishing Mr.. Raymond's long-eared
ambassador to Minnesota with box oftobacco,
gallon Of brandy and dozen of white-clay
pipes. so that he can mnglc, scott free, for a
day or two: in all his innate glory amid that
caste o.Church street society, which he was I'M
doubtedly born to grace.
But 10 more of this. The Democrat has gone
quite too near down to his level, and the Times
EST. PauD has treated the matter on the other
extreme-quite too digniled for the filthy sub
stance it was handling.
We regret one thing, which is, that our con-
Temperatures have cxoncrated the editor of the
n Y. Times from all participation in these Iibcls.
We are willing to concedc that MrRaymond is a
writer OF great ability, and gets up good pa

tool-ihe paid hireling-thc bought servant

have been g down on st. Paul ever since the
newspapers here exposed the libel they put
upon us last year in their Magazine. Added
TO this a liberal rival New York publisher has.
during the past eight months. been doing well
by a work from his press upon Minnesota.
Now, from these facts, we arc of those who be-

libclous character of that i'm the Times of the
18th, could have found its way into Henry j.

rlllc and devastating effects of the carthGuakc
in Central America u notice of which has AL
ready appeared in our paper, is thus graphically
described by one of the papers in the vicinity
OF the catastrophe:
Finally. at ten minutes to eleven without
prcmonitIon of any kind, the earth began to
hcavc and trcmhic with such fearful force that
in ten seconds the entire city was Frustrated.
The crashing of houses and churches stunned
the ears OF the terrified Inhabitants while Il
cloud OF dust from the falling ruins env, loped
them in cloud oi mpcnctrabe darkness. Not
drop OF wafer could be got to relieve the half
clicked and sut!ocating, for the wells and foun-
tans were filled up or made dry. The clock
tower OF the cathedral carried Il goat part of
the ediicc with it in its fall. The tower of the
church Of San Francisco crushed the Episcopal
Oratory and part of the palace. The church of
Santo Domingo was buried beneath its towers.
and the College of the Assumption was entire
ly ruined. The new and beautiful cditice of the
University was demolished. The church of the
MERGED separated in the centre, and its walls
fell outward to the ground. or the private
houses few were LET standing. but all were
rendered uninhabitabc. 1t is worthy of remark
That the walls LETT standing are old ones: all
those OF modern construction have fallen The
public edlccs of the government and city
shared the common destruction.
The devastation was effected. as we have said.

ceenlng shocks were tremendous aud accom-
panied by fearful rumblings beneath our feet.
they lad comparatively but trting results. for
the reason that the first had left but little for
their ravagcs.
Solemn and terrible was the picture present
Ell on that dark. funeral night of n whole pco-
pie clustering in the pazas. and on their knees
crying with loud voices to heaven for mercy.
