Random Thoughts, on Ny 10th Birth
Day.
BY W. C. J.

'Extremum hume, Mea musa, mihi con-
cede laborem.'
And am old 1T cannot be-,
The heart yet throbs 80 strong,
1t loves the sheen Of beauty's e'e,
1t loves it's smile and song.
True, years have come, and years have
fled,
But what can years avail,
The roses heart can never fade.
Until it's petals pale.
But ali Idream, times whitening blast,
So oft has come and flown,
That by it's chill and bligHting waste,
Youths joys are past and gone.
All, yes, dream, and tits ~ dream
And as l dream, l sigh,
Der scenes on memory's silver stream,
Ofdays and years gone by.
But most of one whose trusting heart
She gave with maiden's love,
And acted out, the noblest part.
That wOman's heart can prove.
Fancy then saw no autumn blight.
Spread DER ]ife's coming years.
, Bright were it's pictures, and its flight
Passed thrO' no cloud of tears.
I've lived thru life's sweet, beauteon'
spring, Z
It's summer fruits and flowers,
When hopes, like bird were o The wing
And golden were the honrs. y q
But autumn, with its blight has come,
With yellow leaf and sere
And as fond memories backward roam,
The past is donbly dear.
Swift years have come, swift years have
fled,
And carried to the dust,
The living, loving, to the dead,
Those loved and cherished most.
A dream, a DEAN, tits all a dream,
A sad weird dream, forsooth!
But old IS am, and old as I seem,
The heart is still in it's youth.
The wrinkles tell me that am old,
And the locks 80 bleached and grey,
And the once warm current, now slov
and cold
Tell me, I'm old to-day.
Oh life mere prelude to tho grave,
A meteor flash at most,
A bubble on an ocean wave,
A moment, and it's lost.
But oh what is that moment worth
That moment ore it flies,
Life only buds upon the earth,
To bloom above the skies.
Our life has only one sweet May,
When all is son2-and flowers,
But alb how soon it fits away,
Upon the swift winged hours.
Soon fades the lovely crimson gem,
That throws its sweets abroad,
1t pales upon it's parent stem, >
Tho painted by it's God.
But yet again returns it's bloom,
TO Him, by whom twas given,
Flies back to it's own native home,
And gives it's blush to Heaven.
Thus may this heart, with no vain fea
Pass to it's pulseless rest.
Aud die, as gently dies the star,
Upon the mornings breast.
Thus may my spirit, when it wings,
Its fight to realms above, p.
Battle ever in the unfailing springs.
OF Gods enchanting love.

A Chicago Nan Who Claims to Hare Inti-
mate Relations With Deity.
Chicago Inter-Ocean.
The following announcement was pub
lished in Saturday morning paper:
DETERUs THE WISE MAN rs DESTROYS OF
an opportunity to preach and prove the truth of
what he says. Where are you preachers? will put
up $500, and prove you intidel Railroad House.
Determined to find the meanir of this
singular proposition, reporter of this paper
called upon the wise man yesterday. Peterus
claims to be an especial vicegerent of the
Almighty. He says that he saw God first
four years ago, and has talked to him daily
since. The Lord appointed him to proclaim
the truth la Noah. He says that in the
year BIAS another special messenger will ap-
pear. He has sold his farm in Iowa in
obedience to the dictates from heaven and has
come to Chicago to have the last revelation
printed He is very anxious to meet Henry
Ward Beecher in a controversy, and thinks
he is great infdel. He holds that the
United States government should put a stop
to his (Beecher's) preaching, as it is of the
most baneful character. His revelation
teaches that the world can never come to an
end but the people in it will be destroyed
as at the time of the Noachian deluge. OF
| all those living none are to be saved since
the publication and rejection of his pamph-
let, printed at Fort Dodge, Iowa, two years
ago. If they had listened to the lessons OF
this wonderful book, there would have been
some hope for them, but as they refused te
believe its precepts all is lost, and none Of
the present generation will see heaven. The
man is a German, about fifty years old. He
is small, wiry, and black as mulatto. His
hair and beard are intensely black. and have
all the appearance of belonging rightfully t.
horse and not to man. He is yer.
peculiar man, to say the least, and is evident
| ly insane.

BliRKIS' MISFORTUNE.

He Has to Go Into Bankruptcy to Save
His Property.
In view of the near approach of the repeal
of the bankruptcy law, good many people are
availing themselves of its provisions. Among
them is found Mr.. Barkis, who, being called on
very kindly interviewed as follows
Interviewer understand that your great
misfortunes have at last compelled you to seek
relief in bankruptcy. That you have filed
your petition praying to be discharged from the
payment of your debts.
Barkis--Yes. yes; it is true-and it is truly
sad and distressing to be compelled to seek re-
lief in such public manner.
Int.-You must have met with some great
financial misfortune great distressing loss OF
large amounts Of property. 1t is heart-render-
ing to be obliged to surrender all of ones life
long honest earnings to satisfy the greed Of
importunate creditors.
Barkis-Yes, really, it is sad; but cannotsay
that have lost any capital or property, for it
has always been my prudent custom to 80 Sc
cure whatever got that it could not be stolen
or taken by creditors or others.
lnt.-Why you do not mean to say that you
never had any property subject to execution, do
you, Mr.. Barkis?
Barkis-Oh, yes. 1t has always been my mis-
fortune to have importunate creditors, who
were always bounding me for money, and
to be on my guard. They have even threatened
to have me arrested for swindling, and thereby
disgrace me before the public.
Int.-But how in the world did you come to
got so largely in debt without having any prop
erty basis of credit:
Barks.--You will notice that my creditors.
though numerous. are all for small sums, and
belong to confding, credulous class-apt to
believe most anything that is boldly told.
nt.-Oh, you bought property and borrowed
money of such persons on fair, bold, good
strong promises.
Barkis.-Wel, yes, principally.
Int.-Then your whole visible. tangible, real
capital which your debts based is good
strong, plausible, bold lying?
Barkls.-Wel-my enemies might say
Int.-Then your capital and entire property
remains unimpaired, and yet you will not di
vide even one cent among your creditors.

The Tramp noodlums and the Police.

The Tramp Hoodlums and the Police.
The tramp nuisance seems to require o fur
ther turn of the repressive screw. In CONVEX
sation with Capt John H. Reaney of the X. N.
Packet company yesterday, the reporter was
informed that the gang using the transfer
house of the st. Paul & Duluth railroad COM
pany just below the city for general rendes-
vouz. had within the past few days broken up,
carried away and destroyed eleven barrels of
salt for him, not SO much as piece OF the bar
rels being left. It is useless to talk of these
men as being reduced to the ex-
tremity of leading a vagrant life
by the inability to procure work at fair COM
pensation, when harvest hands are badly
wanted at $500. $3.50, and even $500. At
the levee yesterday a gang of some twenty
idlers stood around for hours with their hands
in their pockets, chatting and telling obscene
stories, while Capt. Reaney was offering 80
cents an hour for help in transferring freight.
The fact is these hoodlums do not want work,
ard will not work unless forced by the strong
arm Of the law, and to get them into the
clutches of the law requires little
more strategy than raiding their
haunts in buggy. A little of the ordinary
discretion supposed to be possessed by police
men would bring these gentry to cracking
stone or drive them from the city, and the
GLOBE would suggest that little more earn
estness in dealing with this tramp nuisance
would be more creditable to the force thar
such operations the Irvine block affair.

Great western Band Excursion.

One of the most attractive features of to-day
will be the excursion to Saltwater under the
auspices of the Great Western band. 1t will
combine the pleasures of travel by water and
by rail- as the trip thither will be made by
way of the Mississippi river, and up the en-
chanting Lake ST. Croix, while the return will
be accomplished over the st. Paul, Saltwater
& Taylors Falls railroad. The Maggie Reaney,
one of the swiftest and most commodious light
draft steamers on the river, with as obliging
officers and crew ever trod deck, will leave
the foot of Jackson street at $3.50 o'clock this
morning, and the excursion will arrive at 6 P.
NJ. The memory of similar parties in former
seasons offers abundant assurance that this one
will present season of rare pleasure. The
presence of the band is, of itself, an all
sufficient card to draw an immense crowd.

THE TRIP REWARD.
John Bedbury Claims that He Was to Di-
vide with Bresett.


vide with Bresett
A reward of 5000 was offered by the State for
the arrest of 8. B. Trip, serving a term
in the penitent1ary for horse thieying, of
which he was convicted at the last term of the
district court. At the time of the occurrence
of the arrest, great credit was accorded Detect
i've Bresett for his skill and daring in making
it, but it now transpires that the laurels he
then acquired are not exclusively his. 1t
will be remembered that Trip, on the night
of his capture put up his horses in an obscure
barn in rear Of the Dawson block, on Seventh
street, although the entrance to it may properly
be said to belong to Eighth street. In
or near the bar much plumber was
found, as well as other evidences of Trips
guilt. Overlooking the premises named is the
residence of John Bedbury, laborer, 62 Eighth
street. Bedbury and his family long kept a
strict watch over Trips quarters, and their
vigilance was rewarded on the night in question,
by seeing the culprit enter and attend to his
| animals. With commendable celebrity, Bed
Nbury informed the authorities of the fact and
the result was the convict's arrest and subse-
quent conviction. Bedbury claims that he was
promised pecunlary recompense by the de-
tective, without the covenant being fulfilled
SO he has stretched forth his hand for the 5000
offered by the State for Trips capture or
some portion of it, while Bresett, of course,
goes for the whole hog, or at least, for the
| lions share. The dispute eliminated yester-
day in the matter being brought before Judge
Wilkin in chambers, County Attorney Rogers
appearing for John Bressett and l. V. d. Heard,
ESQ.,, for John Bedbury. After submitting the
evidence and arguments, the court took the
matter under Amusement.
