ATTACK ON LIQUOR Snops by WOMEN,
The Kalamazoo (Mich.) Telegraph fur.
nishes the particulars of descent made on
the groggeries of Ostcgo, by the women Of
that place, in consequence Of an insult off
cred by q dealer to female whose drunken
husband visited his house. The Telegraph
says: *
"The women Of the village, to the num-
Der of SO, armed with axes and hatchets,
formed a procession and marched upon the
destroyers of their domestic peace. Pro-
ceeding to the hotel, they commenced
general demolition of decanters, jugs, tumb-
lers, aud barrels, when the proprietor, be-
seeching them to desist, came to terms, and
gave bonds not to sell any more liquor for
six months, after which they quietly With
drew. They then proceeded to several GRO
ceries where liquors were sold. One of the
keepers, after portion of his stock Ind
been destroyed, signed the required bond.
Another refused, when they poured out
lis stock Of. liquors amidst the greatest ,ex..
citement. > During the Operation thepro-
prietor rndely grasped one of the females
and ,llurled her back, whereupon he was
'seized;and most thoroughly drcnched fnshis
own liquor. Hereceiyed several very severe
injuries in the rnclec-s After having accom-:
-plished this, sthe women quietly dispersed.

InE RHvoLcrIoN IN CiIISA.-Thc latest
accounts from China are unElvorable to the
cause OF the Insurgents. Extracts from the
Pekn Gazette, extending from September
TO September 30, chronicle the rrcapturc of
several towns by the Imperial troops, and the
obstruction, III the aggregate, of some twenty
thousand insurgents. This last is no doubt
aSrca: cHa"gg ration. But Alternating all
due allowances, it Is evident that the pros
poets ofthe Insurgents are at present discour-
aging. They are scarcely less SO ut tho
south than ut the north. In the neicbor-
hood Of Canton, the insurgents have suffered
serious rcverses, i'll consequence of which
the vessels Of the imrerialists, which had
been confined within tic Bogue for several
months, now venture out. The gentry and
mcrcl;@ts have contributed largely towards
the defence Of Canton, and have subsidized

The season of navigation was inaugura-
ted on Saturday last by the arrival of one
steamboat and the departure of two
Early in the morning a shriIl whistle was
heard above the upper town, and those
who were curious enough to go to the edge
of the bluff to see whence the sound pro
eeeded-and their name WIS legion--be-
held the little MoSTELLo, Captain Russell
putting down stream from the Minnesota,
as bold as bantam Captain Russell re
ports that the ice was not out Of the Min
nesota at Fort Ridgley, on the Sd inst, and
although it was his intention to go to the
Agency, from his winter quarters at Hen
derson, yet he concluded it best to turn TO-
ward ST. Paul. He is the first arrival OF
the season, and We greet his advent most
cordially, in common with the hundreds
who gave him warm welcome as he roul-
ded to at the upper landing.
The levee was crowded on Saturday af.
ternoon to witness the departure of the
LUELIA for Red Wing. There were many
to go as passengers, and it was a most
cheering sight to see once more the hustle,
and the noise attendant upon the first de
parture of the season. The hitherto quiet
leyee vas Ii tered over with boxes furni-
turc, etc, and the noisy crowd had novel
:haracter But that will soon wear off
The quiet of the leyee is gone; and instead
of being silent aud almost deserted, it will,
during the season now set in, bear the bur
den of the heavy commerce Of st. Paul.
Months must pass before it can regain its
tranquility.
The Globe, Captain ROBERTS, left yester-
day, for Traverse DIES Sioux, and interme-
diate places, and took up quite number
of passengers who have been waiting a
considerable time for the opening of navi-
CATION.
And now comes the serious work of the
year; competition, enterprise, industry and
capital, are all invoked to the task. Un-
firing vigilance and zeal are necessary to
success; joined to the other qualities We
have mentioned, and We have no fear that
there will be any lack Of proper requisites
for honorable success on the part Of any Of
our citizens.

ABoAINABLE.-On the roadway leading
to the upper ferry, is the remains of what
was once horse-the flesh has been par.
tally gnawed from its bones; and it pre-
sents most disgusting spectacle. y little
further on similar object may be seen,
close to the waters edge. This is not only
uncomfortable on the score of decency, but
also on that of health. The warm weather
is approaching, and the sanitary regulations
of the city should he enforced not only for
the removal Of such pest-breeding things,
but also for the punishment of those who
show so little regard for the health of the
community as to place and leave them

Il have another extract from that Lyceun1
paper. 1t is from number three for the year
1916. sour village was nicknamed "Shato
gee, CHATS the pronunciation, not the authog
raphy) aud the paper for that year was called
"Shatogee Scrap Book" The article to which
your attention Is referred, is entitled Honey
and Cranbcrries,' and is as follows:
1T Was a New England summer morning
Sunlight had reascended to refresh with its
cooling moisture the happy birds that held their
flight On high. A little bsc, which from Carl.
est dawn, had been busy at its summer work
vas buzzing round Towering cranberry, and
gathering sweets from its Thousand blossoms
Julia noticed the diligent one as she sat III
he shade of All oak near by, and she wondered
1t its power of thus culing nectar from
1owers which produced TIE most acid fruit
But the bee kept buzzing on and finally flew
swiftly to its distant hive.
1t was cool autumnal evening. Pleasant
ly burned the fire, and merry were the youths
5athered around it. The dew, which through
the summer, had revived the beautiful flowers
fell chill and freezing upon the ripened;berries
The bee had long before ceased its labors, and
lay snugly in the cell which its own toll had
produced; while tie sweet honey, which months
ago it had found in the cranberry flowers
toasted many summer idler who robbed III
harvest instead of begged.
Many were the jests of the light hearted
who enjoyed that fire on that cool autumnal
evening, as the fruits Of the little ones labors
lay in pure beautiful cells before them. As
! they teasted upon the dainty food, a sportive
hand dashed rcd-ripe berries into the dish
cranberres, whose sharp sour strangely con.
trasted with the sweet Of the honey and there
they were, originally from the same cluster
now So different; one kind small blood-red
acid berry, the other liquid oil-colorcd nee
tar; once more lying together-though not as
formerly, infused into each other"
Such is the extract. Whether or not it wa;
intended, under the guise Of "Philosopy il
Sport" to account for the sourness of some
fruits, does not appear. SMOKE.

TIE NEW HorEL-The work on the
foundation of the huge Hotel, now being
erected by Mr.. Fuller, on Jackson street,
has so far progressed, that not many days
will elapse before it will be in readiness for

that the occasion be made one of ceremo-

Importance in the history of st. Paul, and
it is indeed matter Of pride as we'll as of
importance to cur citizens, to know that
when the edihce is completed, the city will
possess one of the largest and best appoin-

heartily join in the proposition, and hope
it may be carried into effect. Let some of
our citizens move in the matter and It will
be done, and we'll done
