WHOA ENM.I.
The Naughty Girl Who BiIked a Merch mt

The Naughty Girl Who EiIked a NIerch mt
and a Doctor.
They have tuned their voices and do sing
aloud, "Whoa Emma, Emma you have put
me in such dilemma And this is the
way she has done it. Not long ago Miss
Emma Wells, blonde fair to see by the
generosity of nature and the prodigalty of
art, located in this city. She wanted to sur
round herself with few home comforts, etc.
She was recommended to S. L. Bailey & Co. s
furniture store Oh Third street. She went
there and completed a bargain. She didn't
have the money to pay down, so she gave q
mortgage on the etceteras with the partial
payment in cash. Yesterday it was learned
that she had disposed of the mortgaged
chairs, etc., to second hand dealer, Good
man, on Third street, for $50. The first
rumor was confirmed to the extent
of finding etc. and chairs;
at the secondhand store on Third street.
But where was Emma? A conundrum
which the police were asked to answer
While the city hall authorities were tak1r e
measures to guess the conundrum, the case
came up in conundrum form again at the
municipal court. good place to inquire,
for 1t was of legal turn this time. Dr.. Roy
wanted to know whether he could prosecute
her for obtaining money under false pre-.
lenses, if the cry Whoa Emma, by telegraph,
brought her to rest. When it was learned
that the money was obtained in the Shape of
medical attendance to the sum of $17, the
information was given that talents were not
coin of the realm. This is the way Emma
played it to win, won and run.

The Latest Combinations Out.

The Hon. E. B. Washburns is looming up
as candidate for the Presidency in 1880. If
he should conclude to enter the lists, he will
make very strong contestant. His we'll
known friendship for and old time services
on behalf of Gen. Grant would doubtless
induce the latter to retire from the field in
Mr.. Washburne's favor. This would give
him the full support of the Grant Or ma
chine wing of the Republican party,
while his everywhere conceded in
tegrity and his we'll earned reputation
as swatch dog of the treasury would COM
mend him to the urtis-Brstow reform fac
ton. For second place on the ticket Mr..
Blaine would be the most available man, if
he would accept. He could defeat Mr..
Conkling, as New York State has the Vice
Presidency in Mr.. Wheeler. Republican
ticket led by ,Washburne and Blaine seems
now the strongest possible.
Against it the Democrats might pit
Charles Francis Adams and Senator Thur
man. Then We shonld have contest worthy
the nation.

n SEASON OF OPERA.
The Closing Entertainment of the Farinj
Combination.

Ihe Closing Entertainment of the Farini
Combination.
The opera season closed last evening with
a second performance of Ii Trovatore. with
change of cast, Miss Lille West assuming
the role of Leonora and Madame Clara Lang
Aelgler that of Azucena, the remainder of
the characters being taken as when first pre-
sented on Monday evening. Miss West made
a very attractive heroine, dressing and acting
her part with taste and spirit. She sang
we'll also, although her voice hardly possesses
the compass requisite for SO exacting role.
Several of her arias, more especially that in
the miserere scene, were very effectively rem
Tered, and it was but rarely that she be-
trayed the lack of training SO necessary in an
actress on the lyric stage, but which could
hardly be expected to reside n a lady SO
young. Madame Zeigler took the part of
the glpsey mother with excellent taste, and
sang her lines with fine dramatic effect, al
though still suffering from a severe cold.
Inc remainder of the artists acquitted them
selves with great credit, notably Signors
Farlnl and Frldor1, whose yocaliZation and
acting were all that could be desired.
The season of opera that has Just closed
has not met with the encouragement it has
deserved. The company has not assumed to
be OF extraordinary merit, nor have they
charged exorbltant prices. But it is a musi
cal combination far superior to many that
make greater pretensions and levy heavier
tax upon patrons. Sjgnor Farini possesses
rich baritone voice of great power
and register, and is besides an
actor of rare accomplishments who has a
reputation not confined to this country
Slgnor Fridori is fine tenor with wonderful
endurance, who has proved himself equal to
the most difficult music. Madame Zeigler
has unfortunately appeared at a disadvantage,
but on Monday evening proved herself cap
able of an exquisite renderingof some of the
choicest arias in the opera. Miss West is at
tractive, ambitious and fully competent to
sustain secondary roles in any of the operas
that are comprised in the repertoire Sig
nora Basseti is thoroughly conscientious
artistic who strives hard to please and succeeds
with her naive manner in leaving an excellent
impression, though she is somewhat deficient
IN stage "business." Miss Maggie Harris had
but one hearlng-in ore act OF Martha on
Friday evening, when she Ugh praise for
the exquisite purity and fexibility of her
voice and her charming acting.
1t is to be hoped that if Signor Farini
visits st. Paul again-as there is prospect,
with company considerably strengthened
mat the public will fittingly recognize the
merits of his performances.
During their present trip the opera will ap-
pear as follows: At Saltwater Monday, Dec
80, in Martha in English at Faribault Tues
day, Dec. 81, in II Trovatore; at Rochester
Jan. l, in Martha; at Winona Jan. 9, in II
Irovatore; at Red Wing Jan. 3, in Martha,
and at La Crosse Jan. 4, in II Trovatore.

Mr.. Alexander n. Stephens is still of the
opinion that the country is going to the
demnition bow-wows. He says the present
is one of the severest monetary crises the
country has ever been called to pass through.
AS to the matter of resumption he says he
has nothing to say against it. "Let it come,
but unless something is done to relieve the
distress of the people there will be terrible
suffering" When asked what measures of
relief he would suggest, Mr.. Stephens an
swered: "1 would relieve the stringency by
the issuance of silver dollars, silver bullion
and gold bullion bars, and silver certificates
and gold certificates to an equal amount. /
have already embodied my views in bill
which is now in the possession of the COM
mittee on coinage, weights and measures, and
which at the earliest opportunity stall pre-
sent to the House. This bill provides for
the unlimited issue of bullion: that is to
say. they are never to exceed the amount of
bullion, but they may exceed the amount
of coined money at any one time in exist
nee hundredfold.
The trouble with The country is not in the
quality of it's money, but in it's quantity
People may talk as they will about the desi-
rability of paper dollar which shall be at
par with gold or silver. / want dollars to be
at par with each other, but I also want
enough of them to do the business of the
country with. There are not nearly enough
of them now, and hence the terrible strin-
gency in the labor markets of the world
MY plan will entitle the holder of bullion,
gold or silver, to carry it to the mint and
have 1t stamped and get his certificate there
for, which certificates I would have legal
tender money of value. It takes no longer
to stamp on bar of silver the figures de-
scriptive of its weight, and therefore value,
than it does to stamp dollar, and not so
long. These certificates I would make full
legal tender, receivable for public and prl-
vate debts. The beauty of my plan is that
it will act quickly.
Large blocks of bullion can at once be
stamped and the certificates issued in null
tiples of $1,000, say, or smaller, even down
to fractions of dollar. In this way we
should not have to wait for the slow and
wearisome process of coming the standard
dollars. Two or three hundred million dol
lars worth Of certificates could be issued in
a very little while, and that amount of legal
tender injected into the great arteries of
trade will revive business as by a galvanic
shock, and the reaction will be entirely
healthy, too" Mr.. Stephens says, in regard
to the course the Democrats ought to pursue
as to the cipher telegrams: II am in favor
of the fullest and freest investigation of it
that is desired or thought necessary by any
body. l must confess, however, that know
little about those kilograms, as I never read
them; but if there has been wrong done. let
it be critically looked into. If there is any
thing there probe down to the bottom facts.

The Boom Business.

The subscriptions to the boom in st. Paul,
including $1,000 subscribed by men in
Princeton, now amounts to over $4,000.
One thousand dollars of this was added to
the list yesterday. About $4,000 more is
subscribed at Minneapolis. This is just half
what is needed to build boom as contem-
plated to accommodate 100,OO0,OOO feet of
logs.
1t remains now for the log men at St.
Cloud, Little Falls and other points on the
upper Mississippi to do something. If any
man in these localities will address John S.
Prince, j. w. McClung or James Smith, Jr.,
a subscription paper will be sent him, and
he can increase this sum and insure accom-
mediation for his logs.
It remains also for scores of St. Paul mon
who have not yet been called on to do their
share. They will be called on next week,
and if any gentlemen will assist the commit
tee and will volunteer to give ! few hours to
the work they can be furnished with paper
Monday morning at the chamber of COM
merce, and some of the committee will go
with them. There must be more of this
spirit, and We hope to be
able to chronicle the names of
few patriotic volunteers of this
sort Monday morning. Next week we can
finish the work and ensure the boom if a
very few more gentlemen will aid the COM
mittee in the work of soliciting. Let us see
how many of this sort will volunteer Monday
morning.
The boom corporation is now organized,
and will be ready for work as soon as the
stock is taken. John S. Prince, JAS. Smith,
Jr., rhos. Cochran, Jr, and j. w. McClung,
Of st. Paul, and Platt B. Walker, A. j. Da-
Wis, and J. P. Wilson, of Minneapolis, are
the directors.
