Very few persons who walk along Mott

represents the abode of some particular vice,

St. Louis has enjoyed society sensation of
no mean magnitude the past week. Ladies
representing the first circles were in one of
their periodical futters over grand charita-
BILE entertainment, the principal feature of
which was the production of s'The Mistletoe
Bough." These ladies had shown great in
genuity in interesting the public through the
newspapers in their performance, and on the
day before the opening brought into use their
brightest stratagem. The society reporter of
morning paper was sent for, and was given
to understand that a local beauty, Miss Mel.
lie HaZleton, who was to sustain the princi-
pal role, that of the bride in
ssTHE M1sTLEToE BouGH'' z<ta
had become the betrothed of Samuel J.
Tilden, and he might announce it if he
pleased. The deceived reporter did an
announce it in good faith with no end o.
fine adjectives, and, what is more, he gave
the item away to the agent of the Associated
Press, and it was sent forth to vex the soul
of the old gentleman at Gramercy. The
morning that the item appeared an intima-
ton was conveyed to the society reporter
of an evening paper that Miss Hazleton
wished to see him, and he hurried off to
the West end and found an interview al
ready in shape. Miss Hazleton not only de-
MED the engagement, but said she had

worked successfully, save that none of them
had taken into account the possibility of the
society item being telegraphed, or of il
going beyond st. Louis readers. The de.
NAL, however, came very promptly
next day from Now York, and said that ssMr

Washburn owns a Touring mill at Anoka
in which he has no partner. He has full
and absolute control therein, and cannot
dodge the responsibility. Andrew ]. Smith,
of Ramsey township, took load Of wheat to
Washburn's mill, and, under the manipula-
ton of Washburn's expert, the swindling
brass kettle recorded it as rejected. Wash
barns offered the man .f0rty-three cents per
bushel. This generous offer was de-
clined, and Mr.. Smith sold it elsewhere
as No. and received eighty cents pei
bushel. He has since been offered eighty
five cents for the remainder of his wheat.
A sample of this wheat which Washburn's
sxindling brass kettle makes rejected" has
been left at the GLOBE Office, and was on yes
terday shown to several experts, all of whom
pronounce it excellent No. 2, and with a
trife of cleaning it would 60 Nc. 1.

Last Thursday VIM. Mcpherson went to

came from.the machine it wss 571a pounds,
which is always scant weight. The ring
agent at Morris put it through the swindling
brass kettle and called it No. 3, and offered
him but 43 cents. Mr.. Mcpherson
would not sell, but he took two
measured bushels and putting them on the
scales they weighed one hundred and twenty
nine and a half pounds.
Jack Norris, son of G. A. F. Morris, Of
this city, is out buying wheat for the Archi-
bald mill of st. Paul. When he went to
Morris, the price being paid was from, 81 to
Sc cents, but the ring ran the price up to 81
cents, and threatened to put it at one dollar
if he did not leave. DR.. Heenan, of Phila-
