The Power Of Bats.

It was woman's rights meeting.
The SPEAKER was saying: ''I.et us take
our stand right here, and firmly resolve
that neither the votes nor arguments OF
che opposite sex nor any power on this
earth, shall turn us aside or move us one
inch from the positi--" Just here a
wicked bat flew into the room, and the
meeting adjourned with so much quick
ness that some of the members lost their
back hair. The speaker, who could not
be turned aside" was seventeenth from
last in getting out of the front door.
And it is not certain that the bat was
one of the Opposite SEX" either. Nor.

Kisses.

as various as the kissers, and each kissel
is unique. There were never two just
alike, any more than there were ever
two faces just alike.
There is the kiss given the baby
The power to do this is peculiar tC
woman.
No man ever kisses baby without
making botch Of it.
The reason for this is that kiss, tc
be kiss, must be something more than
lip-seryice. It must have heart in it.
And when a man has given his whole
heart to a woman las he always does)
the baby has to take his fathers kisses
without that which alone makes the
worth having.
But when woman kisses a baby!
Bless you, what difference!
Her kiss has heart in it; two hearts
in fact. Her own and the one her hus
band has given her.
And she is so lavish of those two
heart-power kisses.
On, to be babyl
She cares not for dirty face, she shrinks
not for aught foreign or domestic that
may rest upon those pouting lips. Though
nose be untidy, though chin be ditto,
though cheeks be daubed with every,
thing daubable possible for baby to
daub with, what is that to heri
Nothing!
She sees nothing but this-a baby!
She has but one impulse-to eat it!
What one may not eat, one may kiss.
And she kisses that baby!
Oh, don't she
To fly to the other extreme, there is
the kiss of friendship. This is between
two of the softer sex, the kissing sex,
and is lifeless affair, the very mummy
of kiss. 1t is performed in this wise
for 1t is performance
Two ladies meet. They quicker their
mouths into an angular protuberance,
and cooking their heads to one side, as a
hen will before picking up grain Of
corn, two faces, full Of unspeakable resig-
nation and inhexible devotion to duty,
approximate touch, and retire.
The school girl kiss is very different
affair AS unlike the kiss of friendship
as August is unlike December, as fire is
unlike ashes, as life is unlike death.
Two school girls meet. Mouth flies
to mouth, and lips to lips
Each would swallow the other. 1t is
well it is so.
The swallowing tendency of one is
offset by the like tendency of the other.
Thus are both preserved for The sons
of men.
They talk while they kiss!
Each says to each, ooh, you dear darl
ing creature! Where have you been
these ages. since morning. I've got 81
many things to tell you" ETC., ETC., etc.
And all this is said contemporaneously
with that kiss; in the same instant OF
time.
Sometimes two men kiss, but this
branch of the subject il not attractive.
We have no sympathy with it.
1t is an abomination.
The kiss par excellence is. Of course,
the kiss of love.
What is it likel
Don't ask us. 1t is indescribable.
Try it.
1t is sweeter than honey and the
honeyeomb, sweeter tar than the oran-
ges that are call sweet" 1t is sweetness
in the concrete, concentrated, boiled
down.
Try it.
The matrimonial kiss is necessarily a
tame one.
Duty is apt to grow onerous
And that is not all.
We have said that the true kiss must
have heart in it.
But the man has given his heart to
his wife,
The wife concentrates her sweetness
upon the baby.
There can be but one sequence,
The kiss of husband and wife is but

GONE TO ONIH4.

Special gent Llewellyn and His Prisoners,
Nolan and Johnson-The p. p. Behind, as
Usual. on the Reward Matter.
Yesterday afternoon, Special Agent Level
Ign, accompanied by United States Marshal
McLaren, left for Omaha with his prisoners
Jack Nolan and Joe johnson. Quite a
crowd, of course, followed in the wake of
such notables, and considerable attention
was attracted to the party as they boarded
the train.
Mr.. Llewellyn would take no chances
with his desperate prisoners, and
had them both securely ironed. Just before
the departure, Mr.. Llewellyn was served
with notice by Deputy Sheriff Randall's at
torneys, Wilson & Kerr, that he laid claim
to all rewards offered for the capture of No.
Ian and johnson, in his own name and that
of parties from Ortonville who assisted in
the pursuit. Moreover, notice was given to
Llewellyn to stop the payment on the check
for 5000 which had been given to First
Lieutenant Burns, of the Seventeenth infan-
try, for the capture of the two desperadoes,
as this amount was claimed with all other
rewards offered for their apprehension.
This is likely to bring about suit.
In this connection it may be remarked
that the Pioneer Press yesterday only
"heard of rumor" that Llewelyn had paid
Lieut.. Barns 5000 for the capture of Nolan
and johnson, and interviewed the Agent
about it. The GLOBE of the day before
published the official receipt which Lieut..
Bans gave the detective for the 5000. No
comment necessary.

Haverly's Mastodon minstrels opened last
night to the largest audience that has gathered
in the Opera House for years. Hundreds of
people, unable to procure seats, were Obliged
to leave the theatre The entertainment as a
whole was complete and in every respect en-
joyable. The first grand division:' was ex-
ceptionally good, the vocal numbers being rem
dered in style seldom equalled and never ex-
celled. The octette of voices is the best that
has ever been heard in St. Paul, and nearly
every number provoked a hearty encore In
the second grand division the banjo songs of
Sam Devere, the clog tableaux and dances bv a
round dozen of accomplished artists. Billy
Rice's political Grafton, and Adams and
Lee in their musical illustrat;ons
were most noticeable. though the sona
and dance sketch, "Our Old KentncL1
Home" was excellent and drew out a hearty
call for its repetition. 1t would be difficnt ~
compress more fun into short ENTERTAINMENT
than was afforded by the Mastodons last MONT
This afternoon the minstrels will give a sne.
cial matinee for the ladies and children IN
which occasion the prices of admission will ha

A LONG CONTEST.
How Hon. Gus. schleicher Gene to ne
Nominated for Congress the
FIRST Time

The district that the late Gustav Schleieher
represented In Congress was the largest In
the country. It took In the whole southwest
srn part of Texas, from the Mexican frontier
half way across the State away beyond San
Antonio. Delaware. Rhode Island and New
Jersey could have been packed away In 1t
without covering all the ground. To hold u
convention In that district was not the work
Of q day or q week. When the convention was
called In 1874 there were two candidates In the
field whose strength was about equal. The
convention was called To meet Mt Brownsville
and there were 1876 delegates. The party
from San Antonio expected a siege and made
preparations. They hired u good cook. laid
principal items being n ton Of ice
and two barrels Of whisky and started.
IL was almost two-weeks' Journey,
and they took 1t leisurely. On arriving al
Brownsville they pitched their tent, unlim-
bered the barrels of whisky. and then they
were ready for the fight. Day after day the
ballotiDg went on, always with the same re-
suit, and the end apparently MS far off MS ever.
Finally the Ice began TO grow beautifully less,
md even the whisky was low In the barrel.
with the dissipation Of the Ice and the failure
OF the whisky 1t was evident that something
must be done. The tbrtieth day Of the con-
vention was approaching, when an old stage
driver got up and, after eulogizing the two
candidates, said that he wanted TO make n
suggestion. There was one man who knew
tho whole State Of Texas. 1t was big State,
and there was only one man who had tramped
all over 1t. That man was Gus Schleicher
He know every foot Of IL AS surveyor.
Besides that he was an honest man and
one whom all the boys could trust. He
did not want to say anything, but on
the next ballot he should give his vote for
Schlelcher. No one had thought Of 1t, but the
effect was electrical. The voting had hardly
begun when the end was plain and one Of the
candidates withdrew his name Schleicher
was nominated and the nom ina lon vuada
unanimous No one was more SURPRISED than
he. He was speechless, and when they called
upon him he could not say word. He had
never thought OF the office as one that he
could aspire to, for the competition was Bit
He had attempted to say something, but
burst out into tears and sat down. The boys
gave him another round OF cheers, and from
that day to this not man In that convention
ever regretted the vote that he gave.
