He who would chronicle the events Ct this
cast" city must be ever on the alert. Chan-
ges crowd so closely upon changes, events
upon events, that, Judging ty the ordinary
course Of things, no one can prophecy what
the mex day or hour may bring t"rth.
But yesterday as it were (lS5l) | stood
upon the vacant site now occupied by this
far-fumed city. There were no streets, no
sidewalks, no properties, nor accompaniment
Of a city. 4 fore IA silent forest of burr
oaks covered the ground; streams and rive
let's, and even a small lake wandered over Its
surface. Precipit0us blrf> fronted the river,
and a few wooden shanties partially cot
cealed among the copse sheltered adVGntut-
Gus pioneers, who, with iron will and lrdom-
liable energy, braved and endured every
rrivation with the heroic etJioIsm Of ancient
Romans, to plant dsep aud firm the touhda-
;ton of a new city. This then wa the site
of ST. Paul hot q few years ago. vii! now

ST. PAuL.--The principal street and tho.
rourhfare of the city fronting the Mississippi
river is about two miles and a ha'f long; is
macadamizcd, curbed, and furnished with
good sid walks and gas light. The entire

Plenty to Eat ana Nothing to Pay.

Mr.. John Washington Farmer, u plum
Der, residing 10 New York, has established
a free dining salon for the bcnrt, OF the
poor of that city. 1t has been in successful
operation for several months. Upon enter
ing the place no furniture is seen but a long
table.
Thirty.fOur persons can stand at the
said long table, add eat without interfering
with each others convenience. The officers
admit from the throng outside about seventy
at one time, halt of whum take their places
at the able while the rest range themselves
along the wall and MAINTAIN perfect order
unit the fret instalment have filled them
selves. when they step into the vacant places.
By this plan no time Is lost III coming IN or
going out of the room: and all confusion Is
avoided, everything being done decentlY
and 10 order"
The place is open, and food is dispensed
from q a m. to ii .. IN but the great rush
is at the regular dinner hours from l. m. to
, p. m, and it's only at that time that the
preseace Of the officers is absolutely required,
though there are generally two or more IN
attendance all the time.
Nc questions are asked any applicant for
relief: the touching statement, 81 Am hun
gry," Is the password that opens the door to
all, no matter what the nation or color; the
only qualification being that the person shall
he sober. Many have applied tor neip when
drunk, or under the influence of liquor, but
these are invariably refused until they ct
sober, the fair supppositicn being hat so
long As a man can got money to buy run he
is in no danger Of starving.
The number of REGULARS" who present
themselves every day is about Goo; these are
reliable customers, and may be dcpcntei on.
Besides these there are from 200 to 400 daily
who are sent bither for temporary relief, or
who only cone here for an occasional dinner
when their endeavOrs to procure one else
where have failed. There are forty entire
families who have been f"r many weeks who
ly or partially supported at thi' house, IN"
men being unable to obtain employment or
to efiectually help themselves.

In the Virginia Senate, in the debate Oh
the North Western Railroad bill, MIR. Stuart,
in speaking of the recent negotiations for q
direct Southern trade with France, said that
the present Emperor Of the Frecoh was the
wisest mao who had sat on the throne of
France since the days Of Charlemagnc-srea-
ter cen than Napoleon the Great" This
may be Mr.. STARTS opinion, but he will hard
ly obtain the sufrages Of the world, OF the
verdict of history, to agree with hin. "Napo,
leon III" is cautious, discreet, well acquain-
ted with the character and genius OF the peo-
pie over whom be rules-and fortunate, 50
far; but in point of greatness, either as a
statesman or a soldier, not to be compared
with the fret Napoleon.
