He re;oces in the somewhat unfamiliar
name of Smith, to which is prefixed the

sides ON Wacouta street, between Eighth and
Ninth but, if John Smith had had his own
way on Tuesday night, he would not be re-

there is ''woman in the case,'' for there is
Mrs. John Smith, but this man and wife
seem to have taken each ''for worse only.
There seems to be but precious little ''bet-

what allied Jonn Smith on Tuesday evening,
who, by the way, has only been recently
liberated from jail, where he partially served
out term of sixty days for an assault and
battery arising out of matrimonial infelici-
ties. This ill-assorted couple had qnarrel

Father Berghold of New Ulm, Brown county,
returned yesterday from the Eastern States,
which he visited on commission from Bishop
Ireland in the interests of Catholic coloniza-
ton. During his two months absence in that
behalf, he travelled through New York, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, kentucky, and portions of
Ohio, lecturing in Buffalo, Baltimore, Cincin-
natl, Louisville, Harrisburg and other promi-
nent cities. As Father Berghold is whole
souled man and understands his business, his
mission was highly successful, being greeted
wherever he appeared with crowded and enthu-
siastic audiences. He invited all who had
money to buy provisions for one year and to
purchase the fee of their lands, to come to the
fertile plains of Minnesota and received hun
dreds of assurances to do SO in response.

further trouble was experienced,
and as the term closed Monday
night, the students have now ell
dispersed to their homes, from

-Four chimpanzees and an orang-
outang have arrived at the Aqua
rum, and are now on exhibition in
a room above the fishes. They
came in the steamer Hermann on
Sunday, having been somewhat
more than seven months getting
here from the wilds of Africa.
When six weeks ago the young
chimpanzees, "Nip" and "Tuck "
so named on account of its being
nip and tuck if they lived in this
changeable climate - reached the
Aquarium, the fact Of their being
the first ever brought to this coun-
try was commented upon. 1t can
now be said that the United States
contains more Of these remarkable
creatures than are in captivity in all
the world besides.
"Nip," as everybody remembers

years old, though how anybody has
determined this fact, when their
yIsages represent the accumulated
wisdom Of centuries, is a mystery.
1t is said that Mr.. Relche through
his agents has been engaged for
thirty years in trying to capture
one OF these remarkable animals,
and that on the passage of these
specimens through Germany he was
offered fabulous prices for them by
the agents of the various geological
gardens Of Europe. They are GER
talnly entitled to some such recog-
milton by man, because-as the lat
ter in great numbers observed with

OUR REPRESENTATIVES.

The following are the statistical
sketches of our representatives in the
Legislature as published in the Legis-
lative Manual or ''Blue Book for 1878:
SENATOR ANDREWS.
abraham D. Andrews (Rep.), of
River Falls, Pierce county, was born in
Lowell. Oxford county, Maine, Sept.
81, 1880; received a.. academic educa-
ton, and graduated from the Chicago

As an instance Of the fact that the
claims of the opposition to the Repub-
lican party as a Reform party are not
well founded we may observe that the
organization of the Assembly at it's
present session by such opposition was
signal for the dispense of spoils to a
hungry horde, and six more employees
than the Republican Assembly of 1877
employed were promptly appointed,
though our Republican friends, when
in majority, are always well provided
with assistance. These six extra en-
ployes cost $40 day and are simply
sinecures, for as we have above sug
gested the number of employees under
Republican majorities has been ample.
This act on the part of our Reform
friends was performed with such eff
frontery that it called out resolution
of inquiry and it is possible that the
services (s) of a few of these. supernu-
marary individuals may be dispensed
with. How great is reform!

PEACE between Russia and Turkey is
an accomplished fact. The Turk,
frightened by the rapid advance of
the Muscovite, and unable to restrain
the enemy from marching into Con-
stantinople, concluded a hasty peace
and comedies to all the demands made
by the Gear. What these demands
are, has not been officially announced /;
however, enough is known to allow
speculation as to the result. The
Turk acknowledges the independence
of the Christian provinces north of the
Balkan Mountains, which reduces his
possessions in Europe to an insignifi-
cant strip of territory between the
mountains on the Aegean and MarmOra
Seas. The Black Sea virtually becomes
the property of Russia and the free
dom of the Bosporus and the Darda-
nells is assured to the latter power.
Thus is gained for Russia the very
outlet to the sea for which Peter the
Great fought, nearly two hundred
years ago.

HIRSnAy

The best speech thus far made upon
the silver question. in the U. S. Senate,
is that delivered by Senator Lamar, of
Mississippi, last Thursday. While the
Senator is in favor of honest re-mone-
tization, he is totally opposed to the
Bland bill. How the Mississippi
Solons will take this action of their
favored son, remains to be seen; as
they had only few days before the
speech was delivered, declared them
selves in favor of the proposed silver
legislation.
