American Noodles.

The following is the report made by
the correspondent of Western paper,
who is out of all patience with the
American ''funkies" at Newport:
A day or two since one of the Ameri-
can funkies sat behind us for two hours
at the races, and talked to descendent
of John Jay in about this manner:
Male Idiot-"Aw, Mish Jay-jawing
the races to-day?'
Female Idiot -'''Yeth; they're awful
ly jolly, amt they? Right fun to bet,
amt it?"
Male Idiot-"Yeth, rather jawly to
bet when you win, you know, but beast
iy, awful beastly, to bet and lose, you
know.
Female IDIOT" D'you lose? Well,
that want softly jawly! Lost myself
vest day. Dare say you'll win gain to-
morrow, and then you'll think it jawly
fun, you know"
Male Idiot-'O! dare say shall; but
caun't help feelin beastly bout losin'
yes day, you know. D'you like boating?
Think it's right fun-s'offly jawly, you
know-and-"
And there he sat and listened while
these two funkies-this male and fe-
male funkey-repeated the same slang
by-words awfully- ,jawly 79 times,
right fun" SO times, perfectly beastly
432 times, and you know" 1888 times.
Now | can stand good square slang
slang that means something this
idiotic English slang which the New
York donky spins out and lives on at
Newport is enough to cause insanity.

4 MlschievOus Theory.

There is, at present, in the line Of ed
ucation, a certain powerful influence at
work, which has already done much
mischief, and will do more, if not speed
lily checked This new-fangled theory
has boldly declared war against time
honored principles and systems based
on the experience of the wise and the
good of all ages; promises to the young
an education in half the time required
for the same purpose in older institu-
tions; dispenses with all wholesome dis
cipline as relic of barbarous ages; but
imparts in reality miserable smatter-
ing of knowledge. Supericiality. feeble
ness of mind, and lamentable ut6tness
for graphing successfully with the re-
alities Of life and the intricacies of sci
ence, are the necessary results of this
ruinOus system. As the present is the
full development of the past, and con-
tains, at the same time, the germ Of the
future, so every high branch Of study
throws light on the cognate lower one,
and prepares, at the same time, the way
for mastering the next higher branch.
The student who can 60 only one or two
years to school, should not try to grad
uate; he should master those subjects
which he takes up. BY so doing he dis
ciplines his mind and prepares himself
for mastering higher branches by private
study.-Pres. Denrer College, Ind.

The Silent Stranger.

A stranger sat in corner OF the car
hence to New York. in easy attitude, his
feet upon large black trunk. The gen
tlemanly conductor, going his rounds, at
the first station politely informed the
stranger that the trunk must be put in
the baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
At the second station the conductor
more decidedly told the stranger that
he must put the trunk IN the baggage
car.
To which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
At the third station the vexed con-
ductor more imperatively told the
stranger that he must put the trunk in
the baggage car, or it would be put of
the train.
TO which the stranger nothing re,
piled.
At the fourth station the irate con-
ductor had the trunk put off and left.
To which the stranger said nothing.
At the fifth station the Modified con
ductor, addressing the stranger, begged
him to remember that he had but done
what his duty required, and that he hat
done it only after repeated warnings
and that it was solely the stranger
fault.
TO which the stranger laconically re
piled:

er that moves the world" And he read
forth to the desponding partner little
paragraph from prominent newspaper,
stating the deep regret with which they
learned that the recent domestic trou-
bles of the eminent musical critic Mr.
Mac Neil had not only Frustrated him
upon bed of illness, where he was now
lying in critical condition, but that
his business affairs had become hope
lessly entangled and there was proba-
bility of an early sale of his household
effects for the benefit of his creditors.
Among these articles were some musi-
cal curiosities, information Of which
could be obtained Of Mr.. Shiel, Print
ing house Square, No. blank.
And now | must go to No. blank at
once, said Shiel; g for, if I'm not mis-
taken, this will fetch her within the
hour"
Shlel had no sooner got seated at his
desk when there was timid knock at
the door that sent his heart humping
in unison. Upon the threshold he pres
emily saw familiar little figure, and
heard broken voice which the thick
ness of no vail could disguise. She be-
gan to enquire about the musical curl
osities, while Shiel locked at her eager
ly. He said not word, but there was
something in his face so sad and yearn-
ing that Jenny began to sob.
is he so very sick, Shiel dear?" she
cried. oh, take me to him, wicked
woman that | am! | have killed. have
killed him for whom | would lay down
my life!'
She threw back her veil and put out
both her little hands, and Shiel, on the
spur of the moment, caught her in his
arms and held her to his heart, excus-
ing the warmth of this embrace by the
plea that he thought she was fainting
They found Mac walking about the
room, somewhat worn and thin, to be
sure, and big, greedy, cavernous hollows
of grief in his face; but, as he took Jen-
ny in his arms, these hollows filled up
with joy, and his whole being seemed to
dilate with strength and gladness.
Surely you can't be so very i'll,
dearie?' whispered Jenny, looking coax
ingly into his eyes.
"Tm-I'm little BETTER" said Mac,
slyly winking at poor Shicl, and kissing
her again and again.
Then don't mind being a bcggar,
dear" pursued Jenny Let them sell
what they will, they can't sell you, and
we can all go and live in our old nest
AGAIN
$ And give oyer this fine one to Jean
and her professor?" said Mac.
But the creditors - cried Jenny.
There is the only man to whom |
owe anything in the world" said Mac,
pointing to Shiel
Jenny looked about her rather rueful-
ly, and said to Shiel Can't we 90 back
to the old nest, Shiel? Can't we 60
back?" Shiel was near the door, and
caught both her hands in his.
There are no birds in last year, S
nests, said poor Shiel, and left them
alone together.

A POOR BLAZE.
THB BUILDINGS ON THE POOR FARM
TOTALLY DESTROYED.
Forty Inmates Barely Escape With Their
Lives--Suspioions of Incendiarism, and
Investigations Being Made Loss !915,-
OOO--Insurance 90, 800.

The news of the burning Of the poo
house and superintendent residence a
the poor farm, near Hopkins
Station, reached Minneapolis yesterday
morning, the fire having occurred between
one and two o'clock in the morning. I'm
mediately after number of the inmates
arrived in the city, and were furnished tenn
porary lodgings and boarding places, until
definite action can be taken in providing fol
the rebuilding of the structures.
The fire, according to tho reports
of those present, first originated in
the old frame structure occu-
pied by the paupers, and from thence
spread to other buildings, including the
superintendent's residence. The lateness OF
the hour and the meagre facilities fol
quenching the flames, which had made consid-
cradle Roadway before being discovered, rem
dered the saving of the buildings impossible
and nearly all of the efforts were, of course
directed toward saving the lives of the inmates
most of whom were old and infirm men and
women, beside a number of children. There
were about forty inmates in the poor house
proper, and the fact that the lives of all were
saved, falls but little short of miracle.
the second story by the aid of ladders.
The only accident occurring to a
blind woman known as Dora,
who was severely burned about the hands
and face. Superintendent Lockwood also
received slight burns about the hands in his
efforts to rescue those in the burning build
ing.
The fire is supposed to be incendiary in
It's nature, and suspicion rests upon num-
Der of the inmates. So strong was
this suspicion against man named
Rsinhart Griesbach that he has
been taken into custody and is now confin-
cd at the city lookup. A full investigation
will be made, the board of county commits
sioners being on the ground during the
afternoon maxim preliminary examinations.
At late hour last evening they had not re-
turned, hence the complete particulars can
not be given at the time of writing. The
superintendent's dwelling has but
recently been completed and
cost the county $4,000. The
poor house building was valued at $4,000,
which, together with tho furniture and sup
plies destroyed, will make total loss of
about $4,000. On both buildings and fur
niture there was an insurance of $50, 800, di-
vided between the Queens, Winchester and
ot. N1cnolas insurance companies, which
will reduce the actual loss to &c., 200, beside
the expense of temporary shelter and lodg-
ment for the inmates who lost what little
they possessed. Action will undoubtedly
Immediately be taken toward the reconstruc-
ton of the buildings.
An attempt was made last night to inter-
view the pauper in the county Jail charged
with setting fire to the poor-house, but he
was very reticent, and nothing whatever
could be obtained from him.

Not IN Politics

To the Editor of TIE GLOBE
MINNEAPOLIS, March l9.In your issue
this morning you refer to the political con-
vention held last evening as under the
auspices of the temperance reform club.
Permit me to correct this. The temperance
reform club is strictly non-sectarian and
non-politcal, and declines to be held respon-
sible for any party movement, under Whist
ever name. The fact that the prohibitionista
held convention in reform club hall,
has undoubtedly led you = TO
infer that the same was under the auspices Of
the club. Tho individual members of this
organization are, of course, at liberty TO not
with whichever political party they may de-
sire, but the club, assuch, should not be held
responsible for any other than its own action.
