An Author. Editor and Corrcspon-
dent in Town.

We were pleased to meet this morning,
Dillon O'Brien, of st Paul, author of
Frank Blake a new and popular Irish
romance; editor of the Anti Monopolist,
OF st, Paul, and travelling correspondent
for that marvel of newspaper enterprise,
the st. Paul Pioneer-Press Mr.. O'Brien
is one of those genial Irish gentlemen OF
the old school, who take the world east
ly, and makes friends wherever he goes.
During his stay in Yankton he can be
found at the Merchants. He
will devote himself to writing
up our town and canvassing for the
sale of bis book. He is very favorably i'm,
pressed with Yankton, as all travellers are.
Regarding his latest literary work. Frank
Blake" Mr.. O'BrieG, with the proverbial
mcdesty of his race, declines to say much,
but from the copy before US we extract the
following paragraph, giving the style of
the author and conveying his idea of love :
/" Frank Blake had exchanged but a
dozen words, with a young girl whose face
he had but imperfectlY seen in the gloan.
ing, and for him the world had a new light,
a beauty it never wore before. He was
conscious of a trembling happiness strange
ly akin TO sadness; and so new was his
feeling TO him that he did not yet recognize
it by its true name, love. Love, that pas
sion so W ongs when it assumes lis voice
and features. Love, true love, that comes
but cnce as a revelation to the human
heart, to leave it an altar ora ruin, or comes
not at all"
The book is handsomely printed and
beautifully bound and is the work of the
Pioneer Press esta blishment at St. Paul

But Protestant ideas of morality are as

remember reading, some months since, in
one of our city religious contemporaries a
correspondence from some travelling min
lister in which he acknowledged witnessing
such an entertainment and confessed that
it was very amusing and interesting,
though still insisting that it wasn't right.
The good man was behind the times that
is all, and could not exactly abandon the
bigotry of early training, yet we are con-

smiled frequently, perhaps audibly. What

Yes, your liberal Protestant will admit, of
