Not Mucl, Ahead.

A man with the most lone
some expression an artist ever
conjured up for canvas halted
at an eating stand on the Gem
tral Market yesterday and said ]:
"My good woman, I have
been robbed of eight thousand
dollars in this city
Poor manl' she promptly
sighed.
Yes, robbed Of eight thous-
and dollars, and ! am a hundred
miles from home, and hungry
and penniless.
"And you want something to
eat?"
"Yes, ma'am.'
You shall have it. Sit right
down here"
He sat down and she gave
him some coffee, q piece of meat
and a biscuit. When he had
finished eating he said:
MADAM. did you really be-
|lieve my story n
No, sir" she answered.

"I knew you did,

$50 I did. My boy found q

more than he could eat. I sim
lply gave you what was left to
save filling up the slop-pall. "

his mouth commenced to draw
around, MADAM, II don't see

The Turkish method of reck-
oning the days is a constant
pitfall to European editors who
are not well versed in the mat
ter. In Turkey they begin each
day with the night before it.
Thus Thursday begins with the
sunset OF Wednesday, and Thurs
day night is what we call We'd
nesday night. Those who quote
the Turks gerbatim with regard
to any night are apt to get
tangled up in their chronology.

it takes far more sense to be an

it q crime punishable with i'm

Yankee Doodle.
Humorous and Characteristic Pas
anaes Older than the Nation.

HIGlaOfOdS ana CidfGcte7'aSLac L u.s.
sages Older than the Nation.
I will point out that one of its
most humorous and seemingly
characteristic passages is of a
date much older not only than
of our war of independence, but
than cur colonial existence; in
deed, if it could be traced, its
origin, like that of most good
things, would be found to be
hidden In the darkness of remote
ages. / refer to this stanza::
ssY ankee Doodle come to town
And wore his striped trowsers
Said he couldn't see the town,
There were so many houses"
In the "Contes du Sieur Gal
lard" by Tarbourot d'Accords,
is the following passage: "Chas-
cum mo disoit que ie verrois une
Isl grande ct belle vile mais on
Sc mocquoit de moi ; car on ne
la peut voir a cause de la multi
tude des maisons qui empechent
la Yue.' . That's, Every one told
me that I should see such large
and handsome town; but they
mocked me for one could not
|see it because of the multitude
of houses that hid the view.
The Sieur Gailliard here is, as
his name indicates, a registering
blade, rather rustic withal. On.
another passage in this silly so
called national song" I shall
venture to remark in passing,
because I have found that many
people did not understand it,
"Yankee Doodle came to town
Upon his little pony;
Stuck a feather in his cap,
And called him Macaroni.n y
So, in "The School for Scan
|dall," Sir Benjamin Backbite's
|epigram, "Done in the smack of
ia whip" is,
sssure never were seen two such beautiful
other horses are clowns, but these maca-
ronis,
To give them this title I'm sure can't be
wrong,
Their legs are so slim and their tails are SO
long"
A hundred years ago the slang
name for q certain sort of fop
was "macaroni." He was dis
|tiEguished chiefly by the strange
way in which he dressed his
head /; one part of his coifMre
being an enormous club, braid
or tail of hair that hung down
his back and he wore feathers
and other fantastical things in
his hat, and was generally a very
pitiful and ridiculous creature,
and, Sheridan hints, weak in
body as well as in mind

The Green eyed Monster.
Frank Schmidt and another
man love the same little Ger
man widow, who has

Two eyes of plue dot dance aroundt,
And lips like so much honey
And she owns house on Hastings street,
And In der pank has money"
The little widow has made no
choice between them, and it has
happened that both have called
on her at the same time. There
was jealousy, of course, but it
did not break out in a row until
Friday night. Then both lovers
met at the gate as they came to
pay her a call. They glared at
each other moment, and then
sailed in and hammered each
other, and nearly tore down all
the fence. Schmidt was caught,
while the other escaped.
"Oh, jealousy, where is thy
stingi' exclaimed his Honor as
he heard the story.
"I dinks he lif up on Cada-
rine street. gloomiIy replied
the prisoner as he felt OF his
mutilated ear.
"Do you love that little wi
dow ?" asked the court.
"Vell, | likes dot cottage house

bank replied Schmidt.
s'Does she seem to love you %
IT CANT dell. Sometimes she
smiles at me, like dis, but I
doan' know yet
Have you ever asked her to
marry you?''
"Not guide. One time I say

"Well, jealousy is not a crime,
and I think / will let you 60.
Why don't you go up there
this morning and ask her to be
your wife p
Il Will. I shall dell her dot
is the sentence of dis shnry.
"Yes. you may tell her that.
You can go now"
The prisoner turned, and hap
hening to look ont of the win
dow he saw a sight to freeze his
blood. In the alley stood his
hated rival, and beside him was
the little widow, both smiling
and chuekling over Schmidt's
downfall.
"Crate Hevens, but look on
dotl' gasped the prisoner as he
pointed to the alley.
"Given dead away!' whisper
ed the Judge, as he looked and
sank back.
II shall shunp into der rifer
right off queek!" exclaimed
Schmidt, and he hurried out and
down the street.

IMMIGRATION.
In my last message endeavored briefly to
set forth the Importance of taking suitable
measures for the promotion of immigration,
and as the most effective means to that end,
that our State should make Il thorough dis
play OF cow inoing evidences OF our resources
and attractions at the national Centennial Ex-
position at Philadelphia. The Legislature
saw fit to decline to take the action recon-
mended. The observations and events OF the
year have strongly confirmed the conviction
then entertained respecting the wisdom of the
adoption OF such measures. The failure OF
Minnesota to be properly represented at the
international Exposition will prove, l fear,
not the blunder OF day, but the lost oppor-
tunity OF a century; and in my Judgment it
is incumbent upon us to endeavor to repair as
will not soon cease to d. plore. Kansas and
other competitors with us tor immigration lie
nearer the central route over which immi-
s, ants seek their new homes. They are Law
lsh with their means and efforts to publish
their advantages TO the world. They made
such ample display, at the worlds exposition
OF products attesting their fertility OF soil, as
served to attract the attention and elicit the
admiration OF large classes from whose influ-
ence the greatest benefits may be expected.
Unless persistent efforts be put forth to adver
tise our advantages and correct misrepre5ent-
atoms respecting us, these rival States will
inevitably secure to themselves many of the
immigrants who are naturally attracted to our

As you will be asked to appropriate the
amount OF the reward offered for the appre-
hension OF the authors OF the Northfeld out
rage, it may not be improper to detail here
the action taken in that matter. On the sixth
of September last, band OF eight men, thor
oughiy armed and mounted, entered the viii
lage Of Mortified, in this State, and :, in mid
day, while some OF them sought to overawe
the citizens by boisteruus intimidation and
reckless firing in the streets, which caused
the death of one person, the remainder at
tempted the robbery OF the bank. The at
tempt was frustrated by the heroic tiruness
the forfeiture OF his noble life. The delay
thus afforded, gave time for q rally OF the
citizens, who shot two OF the bandits, and
compelled the others to fly. The alarm Of the
citizens widely spreading, the robbers were
closely pursued, but they succeeded i'll elud-
ing immediate capture. Upon being advised
OF the event, ut once offered q reward tor
the capture Ut the perpetrators, but presum-
ing Their speedy apprehension probable, from
the accounts that reached me, limited such
reward to 500 for the culprits still at large.
The robbers continuing to eludc their pur-
suers, l subsequently increased the reward to
81 600 for each culprit, the same to include
all expenses OF capture. Pressing requests
were made Of me for the employment OF the
militia and other military forces, but | DEEM
ed it an OCCASION for detective vigilance and

tailed much expense upon the State without
increasing the chances of capture in the abb

the excitement Of pursuit, and delay lead
ing to the fear of their final escape, four OF the
remaining robbers were finally overtaken,
driven into swamp, and while one was kill

November term of the District Court of the
District, plead guilty to the crimes with which
they were charged and were sentenced to i'm.
