NOT PRoUD-Two YOUNG WOMEN
DRIVING Cow THROUGH THE STEETs
OF ST. PAUL.---Y esterday morning, about
10 O'Clock, two young ladies were seen
marching down Third street, one leading
and the other driving COW. The young
ladies were good looking, dressed in the
attire of country girls. and trudged along
till Manufacturers dry goods store, ON
Third street was reached. Here they tied
the animal, and disappeared in the store,
Whereupon young man was seen to rush
out Of the back door; and it was some time
before he could be found. Upon making
inquiries into this mysterious affair, the
reporter learned that the young ladies were
Miss Emma Faber, daughter of Paul Fa-
Der of ST. Paul, and Miss Mary Hendricks
Of Winona. They were anxious to inter
view Mr.. Nathan Lyon, in Manufacturers
store, and this was the reason: A few
evenings since Mr.. Lyon accused the
young ladies OF being too proud to stoop to
the duties OF farmers daughter, and he
promised to each $50 silk dress if they
would perform the above act. So yester-
day morning, attired in farmers daugh-
ter's costume, they drove Mr.. Fabers
COW from the barn, attached rope, and
while Miss Faber led the animal, Mis-,
Hendricks walked behind with broom
stick to hasten the trip. Without fear
they passed down Third, from the Seven
Corners to Wabasha, there tied the bovine
and fastened to receive their wages. The
young ladies would hardly have been rec
ognized in their impromptu costumes by
their most intimate friends, and certainly
not in the position in which they were
placed But they won the silk dresses,
which will soon be forthcoming. and the
deed only prompts the ungallant question:
What won't young lady do for a silk
dress?-Pi0neer Press.

are to be free of all tax and their coupons
to be receivable for taxes.
2. The back interest due is to be funded
at the rate of so cents in the dollar.
3. A tax of two cents in the 500 is to
be levied to constitute sinking fund for
the redemption of the bonds.
The concessions by the creditors, if this
offer is accepted and carried out, will result
this way. The official report of the Au-
ditor states that at present Virginia falls
short of paying her obligations by $S71 900.
This compromise makes the burden of the
State lighter every year for the first five
by 5000, 900, every year for thenext twenty
five by 5000, 900, and for every year of the
last ten years it lightens it by 100000. In
other words, if Virginia adopts this, in
the first year, at the present rate of taxa
ton, so cents in the 500, she would have
paid every annual expense, including the
schools; would have paid all classes Of her
creditors, and would have several thousand
dollars in the Treasury.
4. Includes various provisions, such as
the funding Of the peeler bonds at two
thirds their face value; that the bonds
shall be funded only by the syndicate
the two associations-the plan followed by
the United States government in its re-
cent successful funding. &c. 1t is under
stood that to this last feature Mr.. Ward,
who represented Barring Bros. OF London,
! who did not join in the proposition, OBJ
jected.
After the bill was submitted a PROPOSE
| ton was submitted to the representatives
by some of the subcommittee to make the
bill more acceptable by extending the time
of the per cent. payment from five to ten
years, and they telegraphed to theirprincl-
pals for acquiescence.
And now the debt matter stands this
| way.-To State falling eight hundred
thousand dollars behind every year in
! meeting its obligations, some Of which
are self-colleeting and intercept the reve-
| nue.; two financial associations of charac-
| ter and ability come with the proposition
| that for commission. to be paid by the
| creditors, they will procure from these
| creditors such an adjustment and COM
promise of their claims as will for one
period wipe out the deficiency entirely. for
another period wipe out two-thirds of it,
and for another period wipe out one-third
of it, and throw away one-half of the un-
paid interest forever. A proposition that
gives the State a needed rest, restores her
to position of credit, and does not cost
| her cent.
P.S. Since the above was written tel
egram yesterday evening from Richmond
says there is nothing positive as to the ap-
plication for an extension Of the 8 per
cent. term to ten years, but the telegraph
ic correspondence indicated that the syn
| dictate will accept. A bondholder in New
ork Ito the extent of $500, O00) telegraphed
yesterday vol unfairly his willingness to
accept.
