The river is falling very fast, and is now

THE GHOST SHOW.
An Entertainment which is Unique and
Entertaining.

Entertaining.
An entertainment of novel and most enter.
tanning character was given at Temperance
hall, on Seventh street, last evening. The
ghost show is certainly an exhibition of the
most tangible spirits ever placed upon the
stage, and they come and go and reappear in
the most startling manner. At one time their
advent is quick as thought. At another they
resolve themselves into adew. They disappear
in flash and gather out of the flmy atoms of
aether. And yet they are veritable walking.
talking, acting ghosts-ghosts with thews and
sinews of fesh-ruddy with rapid circulation,
and voices cultured by the modulations of
pathos and passion. aaT
Edwards reciting the poem of Little Jem,'
which is illustrated by the ghosts. First is
seen gathering, as it were, out of the very air,
the little crib, with the sick
boy upon it, and his mother
bending over him. So plain does it become,
that one could almost count the pulsations in
the mothers throat. She stoops in sad con-
temptation over the sick boy. The last tableau
illustrating the poem, represents the grave of
Little Jem, the father and mother kneeling on
either side, with the spirit-boy suspended in
mid air.
by Mr.. Edwards and the ghosts shows
some startling situations; the most striking
one of which is that in which the ghost of the
beautiful but erring sister of the Haunted Man
pleads to him for forgiveness. He relents be-
fore her eloquent pleadings and holds her in a
loving embrace. As he thus holds her she
gradually looses, her material appearance be-
comes as shadow through which the audience
can discern the full figure of the brother and
at last she vanishes, leaving the bewildered
man enfolding nothing but air.
The last sketch is funny in the extreme.
Heads appear and call out for their bodies;
headless bodies search for their missing capats.
Chairs, turkey, bread and beer, men and wo-
men come and go in bewildering rapidly,
causing of laughter from the audience.
The ghost show will be one of the attractions

FORT SMELLING BRIDGE.
Important Meeting of the commissioners
Yesterday.

A"poiIaAI MeeClnS OF the Com inlSSlOnerS
Yesterday.
The bridge commission met this morning
at the auditors Office. All the memk ers
were present except Mr.. Thornton. MI.
Sewall, who had been instructed to prepare
map of the approaches so that the COM
missioners could condemn the land required
by them for the roads, reported that he had
not had time to prepare the map, but would
have it in readiness for the next meeting.
Mr.. Sewall stated that he found that it was
impossible to get lodgings for the three as
sistant engineers near the fort, and he had
thought building to cost about $3.50, in
Guiding the necessary furniture, erected on
the spot, would be the cheaper than the men
returning to town. The building could be
made suitable for an Office also.
MIR. Dawson thought if it could be erected
on the bluff, and so that it might be sold
after the bridge was built, it would be much
the best plan.
resolution of the board was passed
empowering the engineer to erect the build
ing, the cost with furniture not to exceed
$780,
MIR. Thomas Cochran, Jr., moved that the
appointment of Thomas Grace, as general
inspector of works, made by Eengineer
Sewall, be confirmed.
The motion was carried and the board adj
journed.

There was young man rushing up and

and soon the streets were cleared of all ex-

knife from his grasp, and held him trans

of demon, CRASHED his teeth, while his
eyes glared with the fire of madness. After
some little time his rage seemed to subside,
and he became submissive and docile, when

THE ..GRAPHIC' FRAUD.
Do Not be Deceived by This Humbue IL
Illustrated Paper.

Do Not be Deceived by This Humbug IL
Illustrated Paper.
An agent for the New York Graphic is in
the city endeavoring to humbug our business
men into purchasing large edition of that
sheet, which is to illustrate st. Paul and
publish written description of the city.
There are several reasons why our people
should not waste their money, upon this af-
fair. In the first place the
patent cheap TYPOGRAPHY which the
Graphic uses is an abortion and produces
an illustration rough and hideous in it's
unsightliness.
In the second place the agent visited Min
neapolls in time to illustrate their fair in
cheap and uncouth way, and the paper has
been circulated as fair advertisement. 1t
is too late to make any such issue available
for the State fair at ST. Paul even if it was
desirable.
In the third place the Minneapolis edition
was accompanied with such glowing de
scription Of that city as to leave nothing to
be said in behalf of st. Paul in the Graphic.
We have no fault to find with this whatever,
SO long as the catch penny affair did not
attempt to perpetrate swindle here. That
paper cannot now say anything good of st.
Paul without deliberately repudiating what
it has said for Minneapolis. The
proper way is to allow Mime
apolis to have the benefit of her advertise
ment unmolested and for st. Paul to decline
to have anything to do with the cheap and
nasty second Inland wares which are offered.
It is unjust to Minneapolis and dishonest
and indecent on the part of the Graphic af-
ter having taken the money from our sister
city, to destroy what good, if any, it has
done them, by coming to st. Paul and MAX
ing it the great city of this region.
Minneapolis has, unfortunately been
caught by the swindle, but ST. Paul
can profit by the sad experience of her
neighbor and avoid the humbug. The
really proper way would have been for both
cities to have agreed that they would not
countenance the fraud, which savors more
strongly of blackmail than legitimate bust
ness enterprise.
