HOW WASHBURN VENT no EUROPE.
A correspondent of the GLOBE few days
ago was curious enough to ask where Bill
Washburn obtained the means to 90 to
Europe on pleasure tour after his failure?
The laboring men TO whom he was indebted
realized but fraction of their claims while
their aristocratie employer was luxuriating
in foreign tour. Another correspondent
throws additional light on the subject, as
follows:
& MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. &c. 1878.
To the Editor of the Globe.
DEAR SIR: In the GLOBE of the 23d your
correspondent wants to know whose money
Washburn used when he went to Europe.
what money he could use for that purpose, and
that was that 100000 that he did not put into
his assets when he failed. and that he put
where he thought the public could never pos
sibly get wind of it. l know the above to be
true. There were other public rumors around
at the time about his having a large amount of
money in his safe belonging to his wife, the
correctness of which I know nothing about,
but of the correctness of the above there is NO
possible chance for doubt. I knew what
l am stating. Yours truly.

Another Year.

We arc still close wrapped about with the salnc blessed monotony Of q year ago. Everything wears the unchanged features. We had sumlscd the golden rod ande. fringod astors, when they came again. would wear new garments, newly colurcd. but even they nre still the samc-the old- fashioned gNrments. donncd again In the everlasting style which was first put upon them. The crickets' rusty chirp, the "zing of tho tirclcss-voiced locusts, tho faint, sleepy hum of the not sleepy flies. do not vary the perfected monotony; they only add 10 It. as adds the owls mearthly call to the solemn stiffness of the night. In the pleasant orchard closes, thewcalth of utage is rpcning and dropping lcis- urcly into beds of rankly growing clover and seeded grasses. Tho fields are full of beautiful growing life-evcry where Is beauty, every where Is sweetness and freshness yet how old fashioned' Is 1t all Tho sweet peas and mignonctte in the garden do not know how to change. Do the little brown springing seeds never tire of developing each year into the self same variety of plant from which they dropped. We marvellous people" have often only to sit down in our chairs to rise from them changed persons. A cross word will change our whole natures, but you may stand and fret all day at a gar den of flowers and they only seem the cheerier for it. Don't let Joe" sauce mo in your next by asking if I've etried lt.) Ia it safe to call vegetation heurtless? We have waited an impatient year in the fond hcpo to chronicle by this dato an important event, but the shubbiness of our front fence is still the wonder and the scorn of every passcr by. We havo won- ! derGd, if left entirely to nature, what our fence would become-left to human na- turc it is simply indiscribablo.
 Ono or two flesh or blood additions have been built on to families near us, but no wood work has been attempted, there l fore, as usual, our house stands still. No | blinds have been repainted ill our vicin- ity, Many are anxiously waiting to hear of some being painted for the first time.
 We hope for one thing-to take the premium OH rockeries at the next Fall Fair, The size and frequency is appall- ing. Several lots of them are ready for transportation on the first Fair day.
