KING uum,,ert and His queen.

Rome Letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin.l
The King am sorry to Say, looks remark
ably Ill. He Is only thirty-four Years OF age,
and his hair is quite gray. Besides, he is SO
wan and thin that he Is quite pitiful to be-
hold It is the opinion OF some that he will
not live over the year. But this, | think. is o
little exaggeration. He Is certainly not we'll
II be were not so well guarded by his faith
full PedmUntese, / should be inclined to think
chat he was being slowly poisoned. But the
Piedmontese are devoted, heart, body and
soul, to the house OF Savoy. There is not q
man among them who would not rather suffer
o Thousand deaths than that hair Of the head
Of its chief should be touched. The Queen
grows prettier every day, and dresses with
great taste. She prefers white TO colors, and
wears it on oil possible occasions. On the
day OF the review she was dressed Ia BLUSH
white She is also very fond OF white tulle
rnantiIlas which she wears In preferences to
hats or bonnets, especially In summer time;
and these tulle mantiflas are no pretty, with %
rose iii the hair and another on the shoulder,
that the wonder Is that every other lady does
not follow the Queens example and wear
white 1nautllus instead of hats G ! Anglaise,
which are adopted by the generality Of Italian
ladies', who prefer to initiate the English In
this rather than the Parisiennes.

and retain his Office. Minnesota must re-
tain her present vantage ground, and secure
more if possible. The day of revolution is
near at hand, and organization should
be perfected as rapidly as possible.
1t has been too often the custom
to allow tho local elections to go by default,
and, of course, State and Congressional tick
cts suffer from such policy. A full State
ticket is to be chosen the coming fall Not
only should a vigorous State campaign be
made, but every county should have local
Democratic ticket. That is the way to
bring out the votes and concentrate the
strength of the party. A vigorous local
canvass in every county in the State would
add ten thousand to the Democratic vote on
the State ticket next fall. Committees, coun-
ty,city and town should be appointed and COM
munication inaugurated between such local
committees and the State Central organiza-
ton. These are matters which have never
been attended to III Minnesota, but without
which it is impossible to win any permanent
success. There are Democrats enough in
Minnesota to obtain full control of the State
in 1881, if the work is commenced now. If
neglected, local success cannot be secured,
even with Democratic President.

TIE CLOSING HOURS,

The Legislature is indulging in the usual
all-nigh session incident to the last day of
the session. AS no bills can be passed to-
day, the work is practically ended, and
nothing now remains but the dry detail of
enrolment. Nearly thousand bills we're
introduced, and of these, three hundred and
sixty-three had reached the Governor
up to o'clock this morning. It
is notable that everyone had been passed
upon at that hour and the Governor was
ready for more if they had been attainable.
Some sixty more wore enrolled but had not
been duly signed by the officers of the re-
speotive houses, and hence could not be sent
forward.
Among the notable events of the closing
day and nightwas the defeat of the omnibus
swamp land grant bill in the House, the pas
sage OF both W. NJ Campbell's and J. N.
Stacy's brass kettle bills, the change of
the immigration bill leaving the board
to sppoint it's own Secretary and reducing
the expenditures for two years from $4,000
to $4,000, and the passage of the st. Paul
boom bill allowing the Minneapolis Boom
company thirty cents per thousand for sort
ing. The mortality among bills was fright
fnl, and beyond computation. They wore
moved down as with grape and canister, and
many woodchuck went to an untinnely fate

Found After Many Dous.

On Oct. 49, 1877, an unknown man applied at
the stables of A. W. Hawkins & Bro. and hired
top buggy and harness for the purpose of TAX
ing drive. As he had horse with him, and
mentioned the names of several parties in the
city. he was allowed to take the buggy with
out leaving any deposit. The buggy and har-
ness were never returned, and after several
fru1tiess searches, Mr.. Hawkins gave the thing
up as dead loss. Yesterday after
noon Mr.. Hawkins saw Young
man driving buggy which looked very much
like the one stolen from him. He followed the
man to hotel on First street, kept by Mrs,
hosback. where the horse and buggy were sta
b!ed. On examining the buggy and harness he
discovered that it was the same as taken from
his stables on October 10, 1877.
Othcer Daily was called and arrested the
young man, who, taken before the court
on a charge of larceny, gave
the name of Comstock. and his resi-;
dence as Eden Prairie. He stated that his
brother Frederick E. Comstock brought the
buggy home (about two days after it was taken
from the stable), and said that he had bought
1t, and the buggy has since then been at farm
IN Swift county. As Frederick E. Comstock.
who hired the buggy, is dead. having commit
TED suicide, an account of which was given in
the GLOBE, Of January eth, and bis brother is
willing to return the harness and buggy, it is
probable that the case will be dismissed
