Duluth stands firm amid the crash of
banks and the wreck of SPECTATORS. The
faith of Duluth in the Northern Pacific is
innocent and chi,d-like, in some respects,
but viewed as entirety il is sublime.-Ctn-

Under the head of " Personalities" the
Cincinnati Commercial contributes this to
the current literature of the day: "The pow

the case of the Milwaukee girl who knocked
her lover heels over head down q flight VI
stairs because he wanted TO stop kissing
long enough to get good long breath"
We fairly dote on rich WIDOWS who can
not ony enjoy first class jokes, but are also
capable of originating them. Here is one
that suits exactly: ga rich widow at Fall
River, Mass, engaged herself to be married
to four different men on q certain morning
aud when the morning came she had a
crowd on hand to laugh at their bewilder-
ment and chsgrin.
The Chicago Post has this to say appro-
pas of the asituation:" ssOf course in all
these troublous times, when from near and
| far come accounts not only oflosses, but OF
| frauds, thefts and defalcstions, Chicago
stands up with clean hands. No whisper
of suspicion against any of our trusted finan-
ciers has been beard, or, we venture to say,
will be heard. II Chicago, the fashion Is
| for the directors ola bank to direct the
bank, sbsurd as this may seem to the So
callediand miscalIed ID rectors' Of banks
| In other cities-men of straw, who lend
their names as signtosrds to the prospec
fuses OF their respective institutions, and
perhaps their heads as blrbers' blocks TO
the directors meetings. Chicago financiers
are not above tLcir business, nor below It
nor apart from it, but q part of it, level and

There is an immense amount Of good
hard sense in this clipping from the Chicago
Times: "Isn't there more or less fustiar
abou, the report of the meeting between
Mr.. Wilkie Collins and Mr.. Charles Brad
laugh at the rooms the Lotus club in New
YORK, on Saturday evening? he referred,
says the dispatch, speaking of Mr.. Brad
laugh, so the fact that class distinctions
were so great that this American club haC
given him on foreign soil the first opportu
nifty of his life 10 meet a countrymaI
whom be was glad to honor, anC
even TO say a word in his praise.
There was no club in England,

wild outbu1sts of enthusiasm. Prolonged
cheers were given, and even af:e- Brad
laugh had turned to bis seat at the table be
side Collins, the crowd continued cheering
until he came forward and spoke briefly
again." Now it is little difficult to be
lieye that if Mr. Collins and Mr.. Bradlaugl
had been very anxious to meet each other
the Queen would have detailed platoon
of the Life Guard to prevent that consum.
nation. Nor is there known to be law il
England which requires people to meet 70
the first time at club room. Perhaps Mr.
Wilkie Collins hasn't felt any especial yearn
ing for the society of the republican leader
of Great Britain.
