carried to England. Yet she seems to
have enjoyed it, and there are probably

MANUFACTURING ATS1. PAUL.

st. Paul is moving in the matter of
manufactures with her accustomed en-
ergy. A Manufacturing Aid and Trust
Company is to Ike organized with a cap
ital of $3.50, 600, the object of which is to
loan the credit or the money Of the COM
pany to such manufacturing enterprises
rs promise large success. The Press
claims great advantages for st. Paul
over other points on account Of their
facilities for water transportation. It
is claimed that Illinois coal in barges
can be laid down in st. Paul at So 50 to
81 per ton. If this he correct, it settles
the question of manufactures for st.
Paul. When it once becomes 4 manu-
featuring city, it will double up in
wealth and population at an astonish~
ing rate. Cleveland, Ohio, was consid-
cred an old city when her business men
discovered that she was no longer a
commercial city. They promptly turned
their attention to manufactures, giving
aid to coal railroads and loaning money
and selling ground to manufacturers
at less rates than to others. The result
was that in twenty years Cleveland in.
creased her population from 10000 to
5000, and became one Of the wealth.
est of the interior cities.
Indianapolis is another example of a
city made by encouraging manufac-
lures. She had no natural advantages
and was made by her manufacturing
enterprises and her railroads. Her best
and most responsible citizens are organ.
ICED and hold meetings once a week to
consider the interests Of the city and to
offer encouragement as we'll as induce
melt to all manufacturing enterprises.
Foreign capital has been flowing into
the city owing to the liberal interest
1.-THE legal rate being ten per cent? and
collection laws of Indiana. Under
these circumstances, the city has passed
in few years from a small State CAPT
tai to great manufacturing centre with
population Of from $1,000 to 10000
and we notice that those who have visi

Jus, fifty years ago General lafayette
visited Providence L. !. A contribil-
tor to the Jcurnal Of that city recalls an
incident in the connection with that o.
casion, rs follows:
Upon his arrival at tn. avense Read
ing from North Main up to the State
House, General Lafayette alightca snd
walked up. This avenue was borJerd
on each side with tall Lombardy pop.
lars OF which not tree remains. But.
besides these poplars, were rows of the
prettiest girls the town could muster.
extending the whole length on both
sides of the walk, and dressed in the
purest white, supported b. rear ranks
OF citizen soldiery. These girls strewed
the path OF the General with bouquets
OF flowers and waved their white hand
erchiefs as he passed. AT this beautiful
display, the General albeit not used to
spectacular displays, expressed his de.
light and admiration. Arriving at the
landing at the head Of the State House
steps, he turned to greet the assembled
multitude, when he recognized Captain
Stephen Olney-atoretimo commander
Of the Rhode Island line-and an old
companion in arms Throwing his arms
around the captain he embraced him,
and, after the manner of the French
men, kissed him on each cheek The
General was then escorted to the Senate
chamber, whsro he was presented TO tho
Government James Fenner the men,
bers of the town council, and other
prominent citizen. This ceremony con
luded, the General, with invited guests
proceeded on foot to the Globe Tavern,
on Benefit street-sincc known a, th.
Mansion HouSe-Sept by Sluford lIm.

After dinner the General underwent
couple of hours hand shaking, while
the troops, at his particular request, hat
been drawn up in line, extending to-
ward Pawtucket The Gencral, leaning
upon the arm OF Governor Fcnnrr. re-
viewed them shaking every prominent
officer by the hand At the cxtremu
left OF the line the Generals carriages
were awaiting him, aud with his suite.
Immediately entering them, he took
leave of the citizens for Boston. Thi
Governor, Colonel Ephriam Bowen
and Z,chariah Allen accompanied tho
General TO the Massachusetts, border
but many Of our citizens went with him
to Boston. AZ he entered his carragi

Thus passed day whose incidents
are within memory Of many men and

pleasure Many detail and circum.

A WIDOWS WITNESS IL was told
of old that the cakle of goose once
saved Rome. 1t is now related that
swallow won a suit in court way down
in Texas. A poor widow and her daugh-
ter had suit for damages before a court
in Houston. The counsel tor the PLAIN
tiff introduced into his pleading the ia
BILE of the swallow that built her nest
and reared her young under the caves
of the temple OF justice. The lawyer en-
lareed upon the swallows trust in the
protection of her home the place affod-
ed, and very aptly made the application
to the case before the court. When the
counsel was about finishing his illustra-
ton swallow actually flew into the
room and alighted upon the Judges
desk. 1t then hoped away and found
rest for the sole OF its foot on the rail-
ing of the jury-box. In its circuit OF the
courtroom it halted awhile on pile Of
law books, then hoyered moment over
the heads of the plaintiffs, and flew out
of the window and away. The counsel
concluded by SAYING, "Behold the wit
ness" and as the witness could not be
called back by the opposing counsel,
the case was given to the jury pretty
much as the swallow left it. The jury
could not ignore the birds evidence,
and gave a verdict for the widow. The
story is little birdy, but not in the
least fishy. If it was apreconcerted plan
of the lawyer it was very happily ar
ranged aud nicely carried out, aud de.
serves place among court reports and
curious pleading.
