The New York Daily Bulletin reminds PEG.
Pile that the United States board of trade
which last Wednesday held It's first session
confounded with the national board of trade.
The latter is what 1t purports to be, repre-
sentative of commercial interests common to
the whole nation, and composed Of represen-
tative merchants of high standing; but this
new board" says the Bulletin, with b
name 50 nearly initiating the old one, is, from
what we learn, a very different affair It is
no doubt Intended for somebody's benefit, and
Judging from those present at Wednesdays
meeting lawyers and miscellaneous aspir-
ants among the rest, but as to merchants is
not so clear"

too long for the good Of the contesting COM

to the company and depostors. The case is
singular enough In the West to attract special

Death Of Minnie Warren.

AS many of u readers have seen
Minnie Warren, we give the following
special of July 25th;
Minnie Warren, the youngest.
brightest and pretticst of Mr.. Bar
NUNS dwarfs, di ed in Middleboro,
Mass, on Tuesday evening, in child.
bed. She was the youngest ola fam,
lily of eight children, all of whom ex.
cept herself and her sister Lavinia,
now Mrs. Tom Thumb, were of ordi,
nary size. She was 40 inches high,
and never attained a weight exceed
ing 45 pounds, being considerably
shorter and more slender than Mrs.
Tom Thumb. She was 81 years old at
the time of her death. 70 u pretty
face she added pleasant disposition
and winning ways, and she became
the fast favorite Of Mr.. Barnmm as
well as of the public. When Tom
Thumb was married to Lavenia War
rem the general opirion was that
Commodore Mutt would tako Minnie
Warren for his bride; but the little
Commodore had set his affections on
Lavinia, and his little heart was
blighted when General Tom Thumb
won her from him.
few years ago Barnum found an
other liliputian, Major Newell, who
was rechristened General Grant, Jr.,
and added to the Tom Thumb comb
nation. The Major was bright and
intelligent, and he and Minnie be-
came great friends. About q year
ago they were married, and they lived
happily together with General Tom
Thumb and wife in Middleboro.
Their last tour together was in the
Western States, from which they re-
Gently returned.
When Mr.. Barnum was in the city
recently he let out the secret, which
had been closely kept by Minnie's
family, but the memory Of the supc-
rior Tom Thumb baby led many to
regard the story as a Barnum Hoax.
But the New Haven women soon dis
covered the purchase OF little bits Of
muslin, lace and flannel by members
of the Warren household, and secrecy
become impossible. A lady friend
who visited the Warrens described
the little garmants as too comical for
anything, Dolls patterns were used,
and the little slips and wrappers
were made one-sixth of the size of
garments for ordinary babies.
Mrs. Newell is described Us looking
forward to maternity with great an-
ticipations of happiness and no mis-
givings. Her husband, however, had
gloomy forebodings, and expressed
the greatest solitude. Her death was
a shock to her family. The child
died at birth. 1t weighed five pounds
and ten ounces. -Four hours later
the mother died.
